By Mr. Leonetti—l stopped ow the 13th Of Soptesaber,
and became bankrupt on the 11th of November. The, mo.
ides epoken of were paid over some days before the hat.
Mr. Quitter, the accountant, deposed—l was ersploycil to
prepare the accounts is this case. The first nte,ting was on
the 13th October. It was adjourned to the 'Atli, After
that time, I made specific inquiry into serest items, and
referred to the " railway sccount." I ',mod us item of
1,6001., credited to that account, was was not
from any railway shares sold. The eldiclues uttered en the
other side-3001. and 33111.—were els r fictitious. The Nosh_
rapt admitted having retained that money. When this was
found out, he accounted for it. The hooks represent him
to have received 9vol- for his co on market share on the lath
of march l"ri (rum Mr. liars ; this was nut'earried to the
credit of Mr. Harvey in the ',trivets ledgci. bankrupt said
he had received that money. It now appeared he had nut ;
and the share hod been I' ended over to the estate. There
was a receipt of 1,9061. Anna the Royal British Bank about
that time, of which cool I,lksll. was entered in the journal to
the Bank, and the 7301. was entered to Mr. Harvey. The
cheques referred to were wrongly entered so as to make it ap-
pear that money had been uplift...it to different trade purposes
which ho hail himself appropriated. The amount is
upwards of 3,0.101. I found it out by getting the numbers
of the bank notes paid for these cheques, and then tracing
the notes. I taxed Mr. Ashlin with it; ho admitted that
the money ought to be paid to the estate. In reference to a
cheque for 1,193'. appearing as paid to Mr. Baker, he at
first said Baker had got it, and then admitted that it was
part of the money he had paid to Mr. Brennan. lie err-
taiftly did not giro this up voluntarily. I gut 2.000 f. from
him on the 6th of November, and on the 10th 6001. The
notes composing the 2,111101. 1 traced to the London and
Westminster Bank, us tl.l, lug been paid by them on the
same day to Mr. DIVIIUSICS 1110111 V. Oa that day also Bren-
nan sold out his stock. There were no entries in the bank-
rupt's accounts of the transactions with Brennan.
The Commissioner—Do you think he has now told the
truth, and discovered the WhOie of his estate ?
Mr. Quilter—That is a very difficult question ; but as far
as the books go, everything has been put right.
Mr. Murray—Are you satisfied that all the entries have
been put right ?
Mr. Quilter—l don't think that time will ever arrive
when 1 shall be perfectly satisfied.
Mr. Murray said he hail to ask for an adjournment for
six week., and also that protection should he withheld,
under the 256th clause, in consequence of whet hail been

Tiny and hie area. ben or twelve in number. The house
was eempletely ateipped—doors, windows and their frames,
deem ad stemmas were removed, still Miss Coffield re-
fused N leave : she hissed that abs would remain as lune
as sae brick of the wale WNW ; sad that when the walls
were pulled down site would take possession of the cellar.
It was said that Terry's men threw pails of water
down the chimney to extinguish the tire, whenever
Miss Oilfield ventured to light one in any of the
apartments—that they swamped the tloon, which were
not pulled up, with water, and threw it upon her; but this
was denied, Mr. Terry stating that water was only used to
wet the brickwork about the chimneys, and to clean the
ceilings; and from his evidence it appeared that Miss Cot-
field used to get into one of the front rooms of the house,
and when • mob had collected—in fact, there was continu-
ally a mob there —she would appeal to their sympathies,
end tell them the whole history of the affair. Open these
occasions the persons addressed very freely expressed
opinions not at all complinieutary to Mr. Terry and his ser-
vants, for their alleged ill treatment of an unprotected
female. Matters reached the climax on the 19th of Decem-
ber. On that day Mr. Terry was about to commence ope-
rations on the back parlour, by taking out the windows,
and barricading them against an expected invasion of the
mob; and the cue for the prosecution was that Harding,
who had been potman to Mr. Coffield, and was a sailor by
lrofeseion • Dixon, • chiinney-evre, p; Sands, a retired
awyer's clerk, together with Mile Cutfield and her father,
obstructed Mr. ferry in carrying out his intentions;
but the whole of them were forcibly ejected with the
exception of Harding, who got into the cellar, from
whence he assailed the attacking party with stones, bricks,
and other missiles. Miss Culfield was thrust out of the
front window into the street, the window sill being about
a yard from the ground, but she afterwards obtained ad-
mission, Mr. Terry said by forcing open • window which
he had previously fastened. All the defendants were
subsequently seen about the premises, but that they got
there by force ass nut shown. Mr. Terry and two of his
men were given into custody, on a charge of stealing the
window sashes, and were he keel up all night. They sent
for the broker who held Mrs. Fagot's authority to enter,
and he too, when he got to the station, was charged with
felony, and locked up, the period of his incarceration being
16 hours and • half. Of course they were discharged by
the magietrate, who recommended the parties to settle the dis•
pule at law, and Mr. Lane commenced an action of eject-
ment against Coffield, who likewise adopted legal measures,
and brought an action of trespass against the demolishers
of his house. Mr. Lane then employed Mr. Wakeling
to institute this prosecution, and to indict Hard-
ing for an tumult on Mr. Terry, which con-
sisted of a blow that produced a black eye, and
Mr. Coffield immediately preferred • mesa indictment
against Terry for forcible entry, and as the three stood fur
trial low in list on the bail day, an application was made
that they might be flied for a special day, as there was an
Immense number of witnesses to 'asinine. That applica-
tion was granted, and to-day was tiled. The proceeding.
appeared to excite considerable interest in Clerkenwell.
At the conclusion of the cue for the prosecution, the as-
sistant judge expressed *doubt whether the evidence made
eat a forcible entry; but after hearing the counsel on both
elides, he said he would leave it to the jury to say whether
Miss Coffield had made a forcible entry through the win-
dow, but with regard to the others he should direct an
acquittal.
Mr. Perry then addreesed the jury. contending that the
Crisidst especially Miss Cottield, had been very much al-
ma la as Nutt cr. and that the cue hail utterly failed.
The jury returned a vet diet of Not Guilty.
The defendant Harding was then tried for the assault ou
Mr. Terry.
The question in this case was on which side had perjury
Mss Seesmitted. Mr. Terry and two of his men deposed to
tM fact that the di fendant struck him, without provoca-
tion, a serious blow on the eye, but Miss Cuffickl, fur the
defence, swore that Mr. Terry ran into the back parlour,
seised Harding by the hair of his head in he lay sleeping on
a plank across two kilderkins, the only furniture the house
etsuld boast of ; that be drugged him about for five minutes,
that he afterwards dragged him about by the heels, and
that the defendant, instead of striking Mr. Terry—foe
which he had no upportunity—jumped through a large
hole in the floor into the cellar for protection, the whole of
his clothing, even to his shirt and trowsers, being tone
from him, and he could not emerge until his mother had
been sent for to bring a fresh supply.
Other witne ses were examined ; they flatly contradicted
Miss Coffield in important particulars. She stated that the
defendant was repining on the plank or old shutter, which-
ever it was, in consequence of his having been up in the
bones all the previous night with a young man named
Oillson, for her protection.
Oillsoo, who had been out of court, swore that Ire Mal
not there at all that night, and did net go to the Mass
until the following morning.
Mr. Ballantiue, in reply, characterised the defence aa
gross perjury.

- The Assistant Judge, in summing op, went through the
evidence, minutely pointing out the discrepancies and con-
tradictions in the statements of the witnesses for the defence.
He mid, whichever way the verdict was given, it would be
impossible to suppose that on one side or the other delibe-
rate perjury bad not been committed.

The jury found the defendant Guilty.
The Court rose at nearly 7 o'clock, and Mr. CoMcliVa in-
dictment against Terry was postponed until the neat bail
day. Mr. GoMeld and hie daughter gave hail for Harding's
appearing for judgment on the day on which the indict-
anent will be for trial.
The Court than adjourned.

cock, the officer, in watching Wagner at the hens of that
prisoner on the Bth of December. From the Bth of De-
cember till the 4th of January I saw Wagner %Ali Kra-
kauer daily together at that haw. On the .3th of Decem-
ber 1 .otioed the coat worn by Krakauer. On the 17th of
Decemher I saw Krakauer corns from Wagner's house, at
2.S minutes after three in the afternoon' and go to • sta•
tioner's shop in Long-acre, out of which he came with a
sheet of note paper in his hand. On the 19th of December,
the day the forgery was presented, 1 saw Krakauer go into
Wagner's house, at 11 in the morning, and I saw him and
Wagner again together at 20 minutes put 12. They then
walked down Bow-street, in the direction of the btrand.
Wagner went into the Old Drury 1' , and saw me at
that point, and said to me, "Good morning, sir." I left
off following him then, and returned to my former position,
in Long-acre. At • quarter past one I saw Wagner return
home alone. Krakauer came up 10 minutes after, in com-
pany with Gerber, and they went up Charles-street, Long-
acre, at 1:6 minutes past one. The witness gave tithe: de-
tails in proof of the frequent meetings of the prisoners.
The witness, In his erosasommination by Mr. Lewis, for
Wagner, said Is had kept minutes of the venous occasions
on which he had seen any of the prisoners together. On
the 19th of December Wagner, at twenty minutes after 12,
bad on a dark frock coat. Ile had no whiskers on him on
any of the days the witness hail seen him.
Cross-examined by Mr. Daniels, for Krakauer-1 he wit-
ness said there was something " very suspicious" about the
general manner of Krakauer. To the best of his belief the
coat worn by Gerber was the same he had seen Krakauer
wear. Ile had known Krakauer these three or four year..
Gerber—At what time do you say you saw me with
Krakauer on the 19th of December?

Witness—At twenty-five minutes past one.

had on a brown coat which witness had seen Krakauer wear.

door, and the witness, who was inside, opened it and apptcs
headed him.

William Joseph Netherelift, lithographic engraver, of
No. 100, St. Martin's-lane, said—These two cheques, a gewa
tide cheque fur 14L Gs., and the forgery for am., were sub-
mitted to my inspection yesterday. I very minutely ex-
amined them, with the intention to discover whether the
genuine had been subjected to the test of tracing papers and
of glasses. The cheque for 3101. appeared to me, looking at
it without reference to the charge, to be genuine. I made
• particular examination of it. I took a powerful glass and
went through the whole of the writing. In the line which
contains " Three hundred and forty pounds" I find pencil
marks. The witness then pointed out pencilling and pen
marks in the two chequts,showing beyond all doubt that the
greatest pains had been taken to make the forged cheque an
wet counterpart of the genuine instrument, which, it will
be remembered, bad been got by Kessler from Messrs.
Selim Dean and Co., in whose name the spurious document
was drawn. "The pinholes," observed the witness," in
both cheques, corresponded with each other, so that the
writing of the forged cheque fell in the same space exactly as
the writing in the genuine cheque. I put the pencil fee similes
from the genuine cheque on transparent paper, and
plased them on the relative words in the forged cheque, and
1 found one word fall over the other in such is manner as
nut to he effected by any other means than those of tracing.
For the reasons I have given I believe that the cheque fur
3101. had been prepared Irvin the genuine instrument for
St 6s.

Mr. Clarkson submitted that he had shown quite
enough to justify the committal of the prisoners for trial.
Mr. Lewis said there was nothing at all against Wagner,
except the evidence of the waitress at Osinuud'a Coffee-
house could be said to be against him, and that evidence
was nut only exceedingly weak in itself, as it had issued
from the lips of the young woman, but would nut stand fur
other reasons one moment before a jury.
Mr. Wright (for Kessler) said, the whole course pursued
by his client wan calculated to prove innocence instead of
guilt, and that the numerous meetings which were stated
by the officers to have taken place, had not in any rue in-
stance been shown to relate to anything like a case of
forgMer ry..
Daniels (fur Krakauer), declared that not one tittle
had come out in the whole course of the investigation cal.
culated to affect his client. If, indeed, it were a proof of
guilt that the man made and sold clothes, then he would
admit the responsibility of his client in this case, but beyond
the exercise of his professional labour there was nu testi-
mony of any kind against
Ocrbcr-I am charged with having put on Krakauer's
coats for the purpose of assisting in this offence with which
we stand charged. I say there is no truth at all in the
accusation. lam conscious of having done nothing wrong.
The Lord Mayor' with whom sat Alderman Wilson, said
he felt it to be his duty to send this very remarkable ease,
affecting, u it did, the great commercial community of the
country, to another tribunal, in which the evidence would
be silted with the attention and care to which it was, from
its peculiar importance, eminently entitled.
