from natural causes. such so a cold caught alter the wound

of murder, sad his lordship passed sesteue of death in the

when the sentence was pronounced • piercing thriek ran
through the ball, on. of the daughter, having fainted away.

Mr. Sleigh-ItL not the question I object to , bat what

question.

Itn. Bristowe continued-That friesibbsp oontin nod until

lat tut, in ooneequenos of a letter I had received. I went

following night after she left home. Then I asked him.
whine she was gone. I could not swear whether I said
anything at that time about his having assaulted me. b
could not tax my reeollectioe. Oh, if I must, very well ;.
then L will lay "no." In my exciteineet at my daughter's
disgrace I may not have thought of that.
Mr. Sleigh—For your daughter's chanoter's sake yem
ought not to make such a remark. Did not your daughter
go home with _you that night!
Witness—Yee.

Witness—l shook her violently. I will own that; I was
so aggravated at her indelicacy.
Mr. Sleigh—What I want to know it, whether you alleged
to her that you had been 'mulled, and did sot the telt
you that nothing of the kind had taken place ?
Witness—No, she did not say so.
Mr. Lewis having stated that that was his case,
Mr. Sleigh—l cannot help expressing my very great set-
prise that any lady having • due regard for the character of
her own daughter, should have instructed my friend Mr.
Lewis to drag before the public at this court to-day mat.
tare which, having regard to her chamber, should sever
have been placed before a public court- Mr. Lewis in his
opening suggested as broadly as words mold imply that an
improper intimacy had existed between Mr. Bateman on
the one hand, and the daughter of the oomplaiaant, Mrs.
Bristowe, on the other. lam here in the surest of Mr.
Bateman, who is • married man, a man of respectable cha-
racter, • man whose reputation is dearer to him than hie
life, to indignantly deny that there is the slightest tittle of I
1/1000000 or foundation for any such cruel imputation upon
him oa the one hood, and capon the young lady os the other.
Mr. Bateman shall be pat fairly before the court sad the
public. He is well known, sad upon km honour se • gentle-
man and a married ma, he has from the first denied this
charge. It is an satire milapprehession, inisanderstariding,
and near akin to an hallucination on the part of Mn. Bris-
tow, to suppose that Mr. Bateman ever bad with the young
lady any intimacy in the ordinary sense of the term
—any intimacy even of • tender nature, let aloes
of as improper character. He bad occasion to
be at the theatre day after day, caring (or and
protecting the interest of one who is dear to him, and must
be at all times coming in castact with any one who was
there in an official capacity. The raw lady warn there
assisting her mother, and such was the esteem in which he
was held by the complainant sad her husband, that op to
the period fixed by complainant he was an intimate visitor
at their house, which continued until that beset her mind
which I cannot help hoping was an hallucination on her
part. Daring all that period Mr. Bateman has only acted
as • friend of the family would and should have sated. If,
indeed, I am obliged to drag these matters before the public,
eye, she had occasion for advice from one older than her-
Hit, and a friend of the family—
Mr. Lewis submitted that there was no occasion to go
into mattere irrelevant to the etas.

Mr. Skies—Mr. Lewis has used unusual freedom in mat-
ing imputations on Mt. Bateman, and am I to be interrupted
when I am proceeding to allow that them imputations are
unfounded?

Mr. ilicT.ers aid the question was rained by Mr. Lewis.
Mr. Lewis—All that I said was to show the terms the
parties were on.
Mr. Sleigh—Yon said "an intimacy of a charade, which
you would sot further diatribe." That clearly meant an
immoral intimacy.
Mr. Lewis—That is your interpretation.
Mr. Sleigh—Do you repudiate it
Mr. Lewis—No. I only objected to your gang into matters
not relating to the case.
Mr. Sleigh—As regards the assault ; and that is what the
she ought originally to have tea confined to. Mr. Date-
man, though his mouth was closed, was not at the awry of
the other aide, for in jailing both to hint and to the yours
lay he (Mr. Sleigh) should put bee is the box ; the cabman
had been found, and would also be celled. They would
both prove that no such 'emelt had ever been committed.
Mr. Sleigh then proceeded to roll Miss Turner.
Mr. Lewis tea demanded that all the witnesses should
be out of coact, and they went out accordingly.
Mr. Sleigh said eves now he would appeal, not as en
advocate but as a gentlemaa, to the other side to ewe him
the painful necessity of calling a daughter to contradict bar
mother.

Kr. Flowers suggested that Yr. Sleigh .honked call the
cabman first, am it might were that isesensity.
lir. Sleigh thanked the thacietrate fee the suggestion.
