wife, waited on Mr. Seeker, for his enaction to allow a trades-
man in the City to see Meaning. This applintioa had re-
ference to the ancount pines is yesterday's Erpress of the
leaving of an air-gun at the shop of a tradesman in Cheap-
side by a pecan resembling Manninf. The application was
granted, but Manning was not identified as the person who
had left the gun.
In the course of the day Mr. Slane, as solicitor on be-
half of Manning, made an application relative to the sum
of money, 205., which had been handed over to Mr. Solo-
man, the legit !adviser of Maria Manning, to be applied to
the purposes of her defence in the forthcoming prose-
elation. He said, that out of the ►bove amount he
had received 61. 16s. : a sum totally inudequate
to defray the expecsee which will be necessarily
required for his defence ; and that ens object of the present
application was for the purpose of nquesting that a fair pro-
portion of the money already advanced might be given up.
There were 73 sovereigns, besides some French Rentn of
considerable value, found on Mrs Manning, and which had
no connection with the property of the murdered man, and
' he contended that Manning, as the husband, was justly en-
titled to the whole of it.

Mr. Bechar said that at present he should make no order
oa the sahjeet, but should take time to consider the matter.
Mr. BMus then withdrew.

Mr. Colonise, the landlord, was appealed to, but the officers
