Wright that I might consider any set performed by Sir
James Hey as done officially under him.—The witness
was then cross-examined by Mr. Ballantine: I presume,
Capt. Tuckett, you are the informer in this case ?—Exactly
so.—Mr. Ballantine: And become so I:manse you could not
get 651.—N0, I claimed it on my own behalf, and that of the
other officert—Mr. Ballantine: Answer my question plainly
yes or no.—No.—Mr. Ballantine : Then what other motive
had you ?—Colonel Wright has not only behaved unhand-
somely to me and the officers under me, but has made me
violate my word of honour to the halfistsrved emigrants who
were without food or clothes.—Mr. Salentine : You say
you were a captain in the 11th Hussars?—Witness: Yes.—
Mr. Ballantine Pray was that the last profession you fol-
lowed ?—Witneas : No, I was a merchant in the city.
Mr. Ballantine: What merchant? —An East India
merchant. Mr. Salentine: In what did you deal?
—ln everything that you could name. (Loud laugh.
ter.) Mr. Ballantine: Then you were a general
dealer?—No; I was an East India agent, and furnished the
messes with wine, plate, and other commodities.--Mr. Bal- '
lantine Oh, that is what you call an East India merchant.
I believe you failed in that capacity ?—I did. —Mr. Dalian-
tine : Well, what did you try next ? I think you turned
actor ?—Witnees : Yes, and played at the Pavilion, the Ly-
ceum, and other thestres.—Mr. Ballantine: Who recom-
mended you to Col. Wright ?—Mr. Henderson, secretary to
the Spanish bondholders.—Mr. Salentine Did yen not say
to Col. Wright that you were perfectly destitute ?—I did
not. I had 251. with me—Mr. Ballantine: What expenses
were you put to that would warrant a demand of 651. ?—The
expenses of my outfit.—Mr. Ballantine: Did you pay for
did.—Mr. Ballantine: Where ?—At various shop
is London.—Mr. Ballantine: And can you show that?—l
cam—After some further questions, Mr. Ballantine put in
the following document
Ship Gtrneg, Blaekwall, Nov. 29, 1316.—We, the undersigned,
haring seen a paragraph in the public papers, stating, under the
head of General Flores, that there were on board the Glenelg about
230 enlisted soldiers, mast of whom have been severely ill-treated
and imprisoned in the vessel, declare there is not a word of truth in
the statement. We are emigrants, in the strictest sense of the word.
We have been treated with every kindness on hoard the seined, and
no individual ever expres-ed a wish to leave the vessel without his
being immediately and without hesitation permitted to do so.
The witness, on being closely examined as tothis document,
admitted that he was a party to its being framed.—Mr. Potbury
said be supposed the magistrate here would presume a suf-
Relent case for a remand had been made out without calling
another witness, whose evidence was of a precisely similar
character.—Mr. Ballantine said he was not desirous of
commenting upon the very extraordinary evidence and ad-
missions made by the witness for the prosecution. Captain
Harvey Tuckett appeared in the witness.box in the double
capacity of an informer end a witness. He, Mr. Ballantine,
was much pained in putting interrogatories to one who ought
to be supposed to move in the rank of a gentleman, hut as a
duty to his client, he was compelled to put these questions. It
was shown that Captain Tuckett, who had held a high
rank in the British military service, admitted that
day in an open court, that he sanctioned the
publication of two documents, which he owned were
false. Though knowing that the equipment was for mill-
, tart' purposes, he countenanced the publicity of a document
which stated that the parties engaged in the project were
purely emigrants, and no the testimony of such a man he
(Mr. Ballantine) could not suppose that the magistrate
would either remand the case, or call upon Colonel Wright
to put in bail to the charge. The act had not been proceeded
upon since its enactment, and it was strange that it should
now for the first time be attempted to be enforced.
I do not see that any cue has been made out against
my client which would either call for bail or remand.—
' Mr. Yardley considered that it was a case which
called for bail; whereupon Mr. Potbury said he was in-
structed by the Customs to require higher bail than was put
in for Captain Sleigh, who held a subordinate position in
the expedition.—Mr. Yardley considered that if the defend-
ant were held to hail, himself in 4001., and two sureties in
2001. each, it would be sufficient.--Mr. Potbury urged that
the defendant should be held, himself in 1,0001., and two
sureties of 6001. each ; but the bench over-ruled the objec-
tion.—The securities were immediately entered into, and the
case wan remanded for a week.

ever, with others in Consols for speculative account, made
