what Mr. Posed said to me I did not wish to be

declined to give him the copy of the 'nor ; but I subse-
quently wrote to Mr. Proutv saying I would, is order to
forward the ends of troth and justi e, give him the times

copy.
row-exemined—l am on friendly terms with Mr.
!nosey new. lam married. My wife and his don't visit.
I was at Stsuy's house last night. I authors about eight
o'clock, sad left Oust • quarter put nine. I went to see
Mr. Stacey—to talk to him &hoot different matters. Of
mese we talked about thin affair. I wished to know when
I was to be examined. I saw • report of what Maud'
here the day before. I did not see the report of the list
trial. We stoke about what had occurred on this trial.
We het no conversation about what evidence was to be
given to-dry. We had • conversation about data. I
geed Mr. Stacey to inform me the dote I went to the
ilission.kosu and the date I left. I have stated to Stacey,
and I believe to the committee, that the Wellingborough
letter wee given to Mrs. Davies in the early part of the day
a which tt was found. I saw Mr. and Mrs. Davies about
two o'clock on that day—they were both together.
I deal kit as that they went away together. I
was not examined before the Congregational Board.
When Sourey showed me the letter I said, " I thought
no ass would have written such • letter, even to a pro.-
taste." I em quite sure that letter was in Mr. Davies'
handle, iting. I did not see the letter picked up. I know
a person of the name of Wicksos, a meat salesman. I have
'never said to him, I believe, "that the place' (the Mission-
house) is enough to injure the religions principles of any
young man that is there." I may have said so, but I
believe I did not Mr. Wicksoa m.y have heard me sty
"religious ins:itutiont were genera:ly tutfevoureble to the
growth of pi. ty in young men," and with that I might
have oseotiated the blission-house. I did not say " I
should like to see some one come in with a mop dipped in
the dirtiest mid is Landon, and mop the craven of the
whole lot of them."
Serjeant Wilkins—Yon say you may have expressed
year opinion that " religion. institutions were geneeelly,
unfavourable to the growth of piety in young men.
What did you mesa by that ?
Witness—l meant this, that young people go into reli-
gious institutions with certain impression, sad there at.
freq•ently defections when circumstances come out; end
thn is one of them.
Serjeant Wilkins—This is one of them, when persons at-
tribute to the religion what belongs to tte professor?
Witness—Jest so.
Serjeant Wilkins—Now, did you ever see scything in the
Migeos-house in than slightest degree discreditable to Dr.
Tillman or Mr. Prost ?
Witaese—No ; I thought I was hardly treated when I
left, but that In no way affected Dr. Tidman or Mr. Prout
I thought I had not been f irly treated, end I told Mr.
Trout so to his face.
Serialist Wilkins—Since you left have you over received
env pecusieer essistance from the Mission-house ?
Witness—Winn I was leaving there was • good deal of
sysepetby for me, and my friends collected a sum of 601. for
as. of which I know Dr. Tidman gave 201.
Sinjunt Wilkins—ln what year wee that ?
Witness—ln 1849.
&nicest Wilkins—lane before there was any inquiry
into Mr. Davies's conduct ?
Witness-0 es, long before.
Mrs. Maria Stacey recalled, and examined by Mr. Evans
—I am the wife of Edwin S se. y. I recollect my husband
bringior home • letter one night. Be said what it was.
I did net read it.
Mr. Evans—Did he describe it to you
Mr. Bellentine—You must not ask that.
Mr. Evans—Do you object to the question ?
Mr. Ballautins--I object to any coavination between a
ass and his wife—
Mr. Evans—l understand you to object—
Mr. Ballantine—l am very glut you do; there is so greet
diMeolty In undentending It. (Laughter.)
Exern.aation continued—My husband put the letter in a
cash-boa in a drawer which was always kept locked ?
Cross-ssamised by Mr. Ballantine-1 have not been in
mutt all day. I have only just come. 1 have spoken
• few words to my husband lieu I Game. I asked him how
he had got on—(laughter)—sad be said Le did not know.
Mr. Horny has been at our house since this affair two
or three times. He was then lost week. He end my
husband spoke about this matter; they always agreed about
it. They tab spoke about being examined here. Mr.
Howley said " be would not tell lies to please anyone ''—
(Isiogliter)—and I know be would not. I don't think he
sad thou words, but that be thought so. My husband and
he always agreed shout this letter. I have even asked Mr.
Seeley if he had underlined it, and he has laughed at my
labeled sad said—" Oh no, it was bad enough as it was !'
Mr. John Pond examined—l am • clerk to Wears. Pipers
sf lastettesp. I had a conversation with Mr. Horley. I
emit recollect the year. He mentioned the feet that he
had hood a letter.
Do Arthur Tidman, the foreign secretary of the London
Matiromy Society, was then called, and, by consent, the
ortiones which he had gives on the former inquiry of
" Tiimen v. A who " was read from the notes of the
losesed arbitrator. It was published iu full et the time,

when the Serbia ammo end the esOtetee of the Green-

Peat
Me. Ballantine—He thought that would raise the che-
stnut of the paper, I appose ?
Willem—He thought he would got five per cent. on •
very mull outlay.
Mr. Bellestise—The " very small outlay " being his own
'Melee. (Laughter.)
Witness—He, his mousy. It was the practice of Mrs.
Duns to have letters addressed to her et the Mission.
Moe, but I cannot say they were from Mr. Davies. I told
Mr. and Mrs. Davies that • letter highly condemnatory of
him had bees written from Berbice. I refused to show
theft the letter. My impression is that Mrs. Devise came
with her hatband on that occasion, but I will not swear she
did. Mr. Foreman is now married again. I am in com-
mon/am with bias officially. I wrote to Mr. Foreman
to knew if he had commissioeed Mr. Davies to got him •
wife, sad whether be had ever made any communication to
him on the subject. I have received Lie sourer, and no
iambi I eau produce it. I consider Mr. Foreman to be •
very honourable young mar.
The Arbitrator—l am bound tt 'ay there is nothing
laths whole of these transactions which U./awe the slightest
shadow on Mr. Foreman.
Witooss—l am eat acquainted with t`.e Misses Evans.
I saw her album at the Mosion-house. I thick it was sent
dews by Miss Evans herself.
Mr. Bulgy, recalled—l believe Mr. Davies wee in the
habit of addressing letters to his wife et .he Minion-house.
I ken no doubt about it. It was often the case. Mrs.
Davies frequently tilled to them.
Mr. Bellentine—What business had you looking at those
inures, air? (The witness hesitated.) Come, mu, sir,
power my question.
Witgess—lf I had not looked at them I wculd not have
knows they did not belong to myself.
Mr. Ballantint —IS that 7oar tteliberat• answer ?
Witness—That is my deliberate answer.
Mr. Banalities—And is that the ground you allege for
Wain" at the letters of Mr. Davies to Isis wife ?
Witress—That it one of my relleollll.

Mr. 11.11entine—Tote large, however, fur my pima pur-
pose. Where, in the office, Sir ?
Witness—You met get blood out at a aerie, and you can't I

Mr. Bellentine—Then you won't t.ll me where you saw
