date
The canes is pomading very slowly, and although it has
already occupied three days very little actual progress has
been made. This is partly owing to the circumstance of the
late hour at which the court site to accommodate the
apical jurymen, half pest ten o'clock, and to its dins(
early, soon after five o'clock. Mr. W. Bunnell is brought
down from London every day in the custody of a warder of
Pentonville prison who is dreamed in plain clothes, and they
walk to and from the court arm in arm and go to • public-
boom in the town and have their meals together, apparently
in the most friendly manner. On Friday evening, when the
train arrived in London, the once celebrated
M.P. and his attendant were seen to go into
• little cook-shop in Shannlitob, where they had
rapper, or perhaps as Mr. /loupe% having reference to his
fotaier position would call it dinner, together, and then pro-
seeded m • cat to the Model Prison at Pentonville. Mr.
Reopen has become very much thinner nom his Onanli•
,'ration at Guildford. and the removal of his beard and
moustaches have made a very great change in his look; and
given him a common appearance. Nothing like an accurate
Mai an yet be formed of the duration of the trial, but it
is not expected to be brought to • conclusion before Wed-
nesday night at lout. It is expected that the case for the
plaintiffs will be finished to-day (Monday).
A variety of additional evidence was mow adduced for
the plaintiffs.
Several withers' were then examined with • view to nor
reiterate the statement made by Mr. W. Ravel' as to how
he was °monied on the 2nd of September, the date of the
alleged forged will.
The foremen of the jury interposed, and said that a state-
ment had been made by Mr. William Roupell with regard
, to this will which they should be glad to hear comae-
' rated if it was possible. The statement they re-
ferred was that after his father's death he went into the
1 bed-room and took out the genuine will from the bureau,
sad pot it into his pocket, but finding it was too large to be
I ootiosaled, he put it into • small writing desk which he con-
steady carried about with him, and that be did not see the
will, and bad no opportunity todestroy ituntila week &Mor-
i ward'. The jury were very anxious to know whether this
statement could be confirmed by other teetimony.
I Baron Chanoall said that possibly Mn. Bonham, the
I housekeeper, might be able to give the court some informs-
; tiou upon the subject.
