Mr. Edward Hudson—When I arrived at the polka
station, the sergeant asked what was the charge. Morgan,
one of the policemen, said, " Steeling a book from the
Middle Temple." The sergeant said, " Then go in there,"
pointing to the iron dock. I deoUsid to do so. The
sergeant applied to the inspector, sad at that moment Mr.
Rodwell and Mr. Begshawe came in. The saperintendeet
turned to them alid mica the nature of the
charge. Mr. Bephawe mid, " SimUng." The super-
intendent mid, " Thee go is there (p*Min to the dock) or
I shell me violence." I went in end was asked mygoes, age,
and resideeoe, which I gave. Mr. Bopiewe end Mr. Rod-
well were asked what the charge was, sad Mr. &phew'
said, "We charge him with takings book the property tithe
Master arid Beechen of the Middle Temple." Notion that
he changed the pluses from " steering" to " taking," I
asked hies if be meant stealing , and he replied, " I do," or
some inch words. The superintendent said, " Let roe tine take
the charge. It will be time for you to complain of its insuf-
• ency afterwards." I objected to be detained on the charge
of taking, I said! mast be detained on the distinct charge of
or felonkniely taking, or be liberated. The soma-
Mr. Bothwell, and Mr. Bagokowe, confined toge-
ther left the room. When the mpirrintendeet asked
Mr. Barham' which he meant, " stealing" or " taking,"
he replied they were synonymous. I explained the differ-
ence, laying, "140, Mr. lisephawe, they are not. A man takes
a wife, he does not eked hest" (leen*— tot)

made to it by rase am" I said, No, I will Doi." They
have attempted to get it from me by violence sad tided,
and they shan't emceed by cajolery." The saperintiodent
then said, "1 diesels the charge. I mid, " New I have
a charge to make" amid at that moment Mr. Rod well and

A gentleman oda:1;d his ird7diip at the 'MK of the
court saying that he wee @mama me a special imor la
the case of Chapman e. Adams, and be begged to be m-
ooed from serving=the ground that be had a Masai
animus against, Mr.
IP. Justice Wilkie thought it band to ooneekve that any-
body could have so them an animas as would prevent him
giving a true verdict upon hie oath.
The gentleman said that what be bad stated was simply
the fact, and therefore he thought it right to mention it.
Mr. Adams knew of the existence of the animus.
Mr. Justice Wilke observed that if he himself were •
litigant he should like to have enemies on the jury, if they
were honest men, beelines he thought that they would be
more Neely to have a leaning in his favour than against
him. The petlentan, however, bad better communioats
with the legal advisees of the pestles, and one or the other
might probably object to him, but what be had stated was
no legal excuse for not serving.
