had once naked a party, and 'it IMO aftwwarels •
pat off ; while on another occasion no else came bat Mr.
E. Baring. He doe:Mall the &Dainties' of the Leveilyns
as to his indecency. As to Mr. Honed; be eat& "Oh,
Hormel's can never say Ism a"fool ; for I got him tamed
out of his place for his treatment of me. I argued the era
myself before the Vize•Chaneellor, and Horroeke bad set a
word to say." Mr. Windham stated that he had been to the
Roman catholic chapel on ono occasion, and might have
said that he would just as scion be a Roman catholic as a
protestant ; but he treated the subject quite lightly. I saw
him next at Dr. Setherland'a. Dr. Sutherland examined
him at considerable length in my presence. Mr.
Windham gave him aa account of the points
alleged splint him, and that amount was an ex.
tremely correct one. Oa the 6th of December be
came to me with Mr. Cole. Mr. Ode brought with him
the placard which has been produced, and was very more
annoyed with Mr. Windham for having, as be thought,
written it. Mr. Windham said, however, that Mr. Roberts
had written it, and I think be stated that Mr. Roberta had
signed his name for him, and them asked him to easetion it.
I told Mr. Windham that he had thereby beams Tea -
able for it, and that it was calculated to do miabial
He replied, " Oh, as long as it was not ilVinuas, I told
Roberta that he might publish it." I said, " Eat don't you
think it a great shame to publish the Names el all Was
parties who certainly don't appear to have taken
any proosediage against yon!" He said be lied
sot thought of that; imd that he would stop the
circulation of the placard as far as he could. He
went off for that pvpoes. The next day I saw bias
and told him that Yesplacard was In areniation. He said
it was a great shame, It was that °latitude fellow Roberts
who would do it. He said, " I took them all off in a cab
yesterday from Piccadilly, but be seat foe them afterwards
without my knowledge. They slot them all over London."
I had soother interview with him, I think on the 11th of
December, the day on which be had bees examined by Dr.
Winslow and Dr. Mayo. He said be wee very mush tired
and exhausted, but he gave me a general sesount of bia la.
terrkm with thee. gentlemen. Dr. Deadly, who was
,at, thought he was too fatigued to be examined
further, and so be soon after hit That was the
last time I may be said to hare seen him.
On the first amigos that I saw hien we were waiting for his
solicitor. He said that he (the solicitor) was always drunk,
and was probably so then, and that he would not wait any
longer for bins. That was nod lEr. Ode. During the eon-
verastiona that I bad with 'Herbal!" I never saw the
slightest appearance of unmade= of mind. I found no
inoomequence in him, or the least inability in him to keep
up a connected conversation. His views on every inbjeet
appeared to me to be clear sad well defined.
The court then adjourned.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT sr. MARTIN &HALL.

An accident of a very serious nature, which has
already resulted in the death of see man, and which will
probably Clllll4l the lees of erneal other lives, occurred yes-
terday gammon at St. lfertin's-hall,Lengmere. This hall,
which it will be recollected wasioureed dews bi 1860, has been
recently rebuilt, and is at present in the hands of Mr. Do
Fries, the contractor for the internal Siting* and decora-
tions. At half-peat three o'clock p.m., yesterday, seven
men in his employ were engaged fixing the priori* chan-
delier to the ceiling, and they had to stand on a plank which
was supported by a cross.pole, in order to reach their work.
From some cause, which is at present unexplained,
the cross-pole either gave way, or broke in two
under the weight, and the Berm men were paw-
negated to the Found, a distance of forty feet, suffer-
ing frightful Wanes from the fall. fkaas of them came to
the floor with their limbs doubled under them ; some
upon their faces, sedatives upon their backs. eaperintes•

sent off a detachment of 50 eenotables to the scene, under
the direction of Impeder Brimmeccatb. Of those a ocis
siderable number were snood in ksep&sg order mom the
immense crowd which had -rapidly elms_ bled in ameequeries
of the drat rumour of the celamity, and Wren were espied
in removing the unfortunate mos to the hospital.
Six were taken to King's College Hospital, and are mot to
Charing-cross. The latter, whose name is Patrick Oogbut,
wee suffering from severe injarien to the hark, sad bed his
arm broken. It is hardly hoped that he will survive. Of
the six taken to King's College, are, named Wood, expired
