which had Celled another meeting of the Irish ;somber* of

bees should call on the peers to ensemble with them. Jt

should be fixed fur Tuesday, November 2; that to
that council of membtre had been suggested and called be-

Ireland to join in their assembly.

BALLINAISLOI, OCT. 4.—At haltpast eleven o'clock a de-
putation train the town of Ballinasloe arrived at Oarbally, to
present to the Lord Lieutenant an address. The gent:eaten
composing the deputation were ushered into the library,
where tus excellency sat. The following address was then
read :_ _ . .

--"1-May it please your Excellency,—We, the inhabitants
of Minimal°e acid its vicinity, gladly avail ourselves
of this opportunity to congratulate your excellency on your
appointment as the representative of her Gracious Mejesty
in Ireland, and to convey to your excellency the high
esteem in which we bold your excellency's personal
character and talents. We hail with very great pleasure
the arrival of your excellency among us, at our great
annual fair, as an earnest of your excellency's anxiety
(by mine-ling with all ranks, from all parts of Ireland,
on this hue, occasion) to make yourself acquainted with
the most prominent wants of the country, for the pur-
pas of being able to suggest the moat suitable remedies.
Under divine providence, the measures of her Majesty's
government, combined with the aid so liberally extended to
the poor of this country through the hands of the British
Association and the Society of Friends, and by individuals
actuated by • like sympathy for the wants of Ireland, have
saved many lives, and mitigated much of the sickness and
sufferings inseparable from the late visitation of Famine.
But, although • good harvest has been recently gathered in,
We cannot conceal from ourselves, or your excellency, that
the prospects of the country are most gloomy. The measures
deemed necessary for the preservation of life, while they di-
verted the population from industrial avocation, necessarily
encouraged the disposition to look to government for assistance
at the very time when a spirit of self-reliance was most needed.
It shall be our endeavour, as we doubt not it is your ex-
cellency's desire, to inculcate the duty of independent exer-
tion ; but we claim at the hands of a paternal government
such measures as may conduce to the social improvement of
the country, and to the development of its resources—the
adaptation of the laws for the relief of the poor to the cir-
cumstances of the population—the encouragement and pro.
tection, by all practicable means, of the long depressed and
now greatly embarrassed agricultural interests—the intro-
duction of capita—the promotion and extension of railways
—the improvement of our harbours and inland navigation
—the encouragement of our fisheries—a cordial and effec-
tive co-operation of the Board of Public Works in the drain.
age of rivers, with a view to facilitate the reclamation of
waste and the improvement of low lands—and a well-
considered plan of colonisation for our redundant population,
We beg to assure your excellency the present time is most
favourable for the introduction of remedial measures.
Touched by the distress of the times, all men seem inclined
to cultivate the charities of life, and only to need confidence
in their own resources, to awake from despondency to hope-
ful exertion. It is in this spirit, and with these hopes, we
approach your excellency, and heartily, but respectfully, bid
you welcome to our fair. We cannot, however, conclude
this address without tendering to your excellency our cor-
dial coneratulations upon the auspicious event that bas so
recently taken place in your excellency's domestic circle, and
we pray that the Giver of all good may bless this and all
other events that may hereafter be associated with your re-
collections of Ireland to your excellency's lasting satisfaction
end happiness."
Lard CLAREN Dom then replied as follows:—" Gentlemen
—.I beg you to accept my cordial thanks for your congratula-
tions upon my appointment to the office which, through the
gracious pleasure of our sovereign, I have the honour to
hold, and for the flattering terms in which your opinion of
myself is conveyed. I am not only anxious, but I consider
it my duty to make myself personally:acquainted with Irish-
men of all ranks and classes, and to learn, as correctly as I
am able, the condition, the prospects, and the wants of the
country; and in no way could I perform this duty in a
manner so satisfactory or so agreeably to myself, as under
the hospitable roof of my noble friend, whom to know is to
esteem, and at the moment of your great fair—the event
which is regarded with so much interest by the agriculturists
of Ireland, and which annually draws together so many per-
sons connected with that important branch of national indus-
try. It is most st ratifying to me to learn, that in year opinion
the measures of her Majesty's government were successful,
under Divine Providence, in the object that all alike had
in view—to preserve the lives and to mitigate the sufferings
of our fellow-subjects in Ireland. The preservation of
human life being the first and paramount object, the mea-
sures adopted for that end, although they were the greatest,
and, I may say, the most complete work that a government
ever uadertook—for they consisted in first giving money, and
afterwards food, to nearly three millions of people—yet
they certainly did encourage the disposition, so much to
be deprecated, of relying solely upon the government for
assistance ; but the very nature of the emergency, at once
so pressing and so appalling, rendered self-reliance, at
that time, almost • matter of impossibility. Warned,
however, by past experience, it is now our duty,
each in his respective sphere, to rouse the spirit, and to in-
culcate the duty of independent exertion; and I cannot
doubt that the inhabitants of Ballinaaloe and its vicinity will
be foremost in this national work, and will imitate the ex •
ample which they have always before them, in my noble
friend Lord Clanearty. It is the duty of the government,
and you have a right to claim that they should introduce
such laws, and adopt such measures, as may conduce to the
social improvement of the country. And I trust that you
will not be disappointed in the anxiety of the government to
meet the wishes you naturally entertain. and more especially
upon that most important point to which you have alluded,
the adaptation of the laws for the relief of the poor to
the circumstances of the population. But allow me to
warn you, that the introduction of capital depends upon
Irishmen alone : the government is completely power-
ler in such matters, and so long as capital does
not find in this country adequate protection, and
consequently the prospect of profitable investment,
all future attempts, like many past experiments here, to in-
troduce capital, must fail—so long as ignorance and pre-
judice render its introduction dangerous in Ireland—and so
long will it be diverted frsm your shores, and seek invest-
ment in foreign schemes, until experience there, as it has
already too often done in Ireland, teaches capitalists that
their money is safer at home, with however low a profit, than
embarked in projects which, brilliant though they may be
in appearance, are in reality unsafe. Insecurity alone has
prevented the investment in Ireland of the millions that
have been squandered in foreign loans and mining specula-
tions; but if English capitalists can be convinced that they
are safer in Ireland, and that education and example have
taught the people better to understand their own true inte-
rests, you may rely upon it that capital and enterprise win
be wanting here. I can with truth, and not as • mere
form of expression, assure you that the condition of Ireland
engages the mat anxious attention of her Majesty'? govern-
ment, and that they feel as I do, that the present is a most
aided period in the history of this country ; that men of all
dames having been brought by a common misfortune into
kindly sympathy with each other take a more correct view
of common interests, and that well-advised remedial
metteares may now be introduced with more than ordinary
=sOf elleeeel. I am very grateful to you, gentlemen,
o:kind allusion to the event that has recently occurred
in my family; and I assure you that if my son shall here-
after regaled the land of his birth with the same predilection
that I do, and inherit his father's desire to be or some use
to Ireland, you will never have cause to disown your new
countryman.
Immediately after the deputation from the town had re-
tired, the gentlemen deputed to present the county addrem
were admitted to the presence of his excellency. This depu-
tation was headed by the High Sheriff, Lords Clanearty.
Clanmorris, and Dunsandle. The county address ran this :
,' May it please your Excellency,—We, the High bucolic
nobility, gentry, and clergy, of the county of Galway, leg he
approach you with feelings of the highest personal rap"
and to offer you our hearty welcome to this our WOOER ph
AIM. We look upon your excellency's visit to this sem*
ras a proof that, not wielding the pomp, but the pram
a viessey, you are come to see with your own eyes, and M
milk your own ears, the true condition of the people
mabialked to your governance—earnestly desirous to
enelisests the condition of the country, and to
modem the powers of your high °files for the real
hese& of Ireland. We gladly express to your excellency, sa
ea Baeglish nobleman, our truly grateful sense of the gene-
rale. sympathy of your fellow-countrymen with our mar-
Inge in the put awful season ; esteeming their analliesat
tundelbeideas to the British Association and the Sodsty of
Friends a far surer index of public feeling than the rapid
ravings of a Roebuck, or the insulting inveetime of a por-
lion of the daily press. That there hes been no beekwurd-
nese amongst the gentry and the clergy of all deneasinalices
in carrying out the relief measures is well known, and the
awful catalogue of those who have lost their lives, or
have narrowly escaped doing so in their bmudent
exertions, is a sad proof that no amount of personal
or personal labour has been spared by them it=
charging their duty towards their suffering fellow-country-
men. We thank your excellency, as the head of the govern-
ment, for their well-intentioned efforts to alleviate the &e-
-trees ; the emergency was one of unexampled difficulty, and
the national advents., at all events, saved much human life,
and preserved public tranquillity. Your excellency does not
come a mere stranger amongst us. Your previous residenos
in Ireland eminently qualifies you to inquire into and esti-
mate its condition, whilst the need anspiekme additkm of

the people his produced a degree of human suffering, and of
pecuniary embarrassment unparalleled in thecountry's annals,.
and notwithstanding the enormous expenditure of the relief
measures, no class of the whole community has escaped un-

deadly by the monetary crisis which has supervened,
and which bars all the avenues of credit. Nearly
half the county rates of the last summer levy remaim
uncollected. The myelin of former poor's rate are %mussily

the community, like a fever patient first rising from his bed
of sickness, is scarce able to totter under its ordinary engage-

tions now so unsparingly heaped upon it. We have no wish
to repudiate our debts. As far as our abilities go, we an

DUBLIN, OCT. 5
The prices for sheep obtained this year at the great
fair of Ballinasloe, the criterion of the prosperity of
the farmers of Ireland, do not seem to give much sells- ,
faction, but are not, after all, less than might have
been anticipated, or more unpromising, considering
the state of the money interests of the country, than
the farmers must themselves have reckoned on. It is
even questionable whether, on the whole, the prices of
sheep are not, when compared with the price of
money at both periods, higher than those of last year.
The failure of the house of Mergin and Molloy has
had a depressing tendency on liminess ; and there is no
doubt that the continued dryness of the atmosphere
this year, so very injurious to the grazing lands.
has tended greatly to limit purchases of
fresh stock at this fair, as the graziers have
been unable to " finish off," as it is termed,
those on band. I shall instance one cane,
within my own knowledge. A farmer, resident
within 12 miles of Dublin, purchased last year 600
sheep, at the fair of Ballinasloe. They were " store
stock ;" he also purchased 150 heifers. This year his
purchases will not surmount 150 sheep and 50heifers.
Why? Because some of those purchased last year
are not yet in a state fit for market, and because the
growth of grass was so stunted this year his lands
are not able to maintain the same amount as usual.
These causes may, perhaps, not unreasonably account
both for the depression in prices and the smallness of
sales noticed in your report of the fair.
It is time that the payment of " ministers money "
ceased in Ireland. It causes perpetual heartburnings,
and affords scope for much angry and bitter crimina-
don which it would be always well to avoid. In
Cork, at this moment, the complaints against this
payment are very bitter. The rector of St. Anne's
parish, in that city, the Rev. Longfield Connor, din-
trained on Saturday the goods of a number of his
Roman catholic parishioners, and proceeded forthwith
to a sale. Those persons happened to be very poor—
their rating was very small—yet, in many instances,
they were totally unable to pay it. The exaction
from such a set of persons, though probably due to
the claims of the rector, must excite anger, and must
convince reasonable men that it would be desirable
the legislature should adopt some measure for the
abolition of church-rates.
An evening journal of yesterday makes an an-
nouncement of a nature worth mentioning, though
one can hardly understand how it can be judiciously
realised. The journal is the Erening Herald, and is
the organ of a krge section of the evangelicals, cleri-
cal and lay. It is stated that government is prepared
to submit to parliament, at the very earliest period of
the next session, a bill whose object will be to repeal
alike the Irish Poor-law and the Tithe Commutation
Statute, and to transfer the maintenance of the Irish
church and Irish pauperism to a common fund, to be
raised off the land by a sort of income-tax. Govern-
ment would, of course, have the management of the
unmanageable pauperism of Ireland, a task in which
' it would be the pleasure and the advantage of every
landlord to embarrass them as much as possible.
Hence, the Herald, a landlord paper, thinks the por-
tion respecting the transfer of pauper maintenance
very excellent, but will not listen to so much of the
measure as has reference to the church establishment.

MEETING or THE IRISH Idannzits.—There wee a fur-
ther preliminary meeting of the Irish members to-day, when
the following gentlemen attended: Mr. R. Grattan, Mr.
John O'Connell, Mr. John Reynolds, Mr. James Fagan
(Wexford county), Mr. Alderman O'Brien, Mr. Francis
Scully, Mr. John Greene, and Mr. Daniel O'Connell.—
Mr. John Greene was called to the ehair.—Mr. John
O'Connell read a list of thirteen propositions, forwarded by
Alderman Fagan, M.P. for Cork, and which he gave notice
he would offer for the adoption of the council on its assem-
blage. Mr. O'Connell stated that one of those propoeitions
was a pledge to obtain the repeal of the legislative
union, and ae they had invited the attendance of gentlemen
not repealer', the placing of a notice of that nature on their
books thus early sight name some embarrassment. It was
after some disenadem diesided that the notices should be re-
ferred for future ermaideration. The council then discussed
the beet period for the flret meeting, also whether they

anxious and willing to tem, to the last farthing, our just
proportions of the Jutland advances. We believe the greet
balm of national prosperity are unimpaired, and that, if
leniently dealt with, permitted to recover from our
present state of prostration, and oar resources judicionely
developed, there are ample mean' not only to pay back
the nation its advances, but to leave a considerable
surplus to increase the prosperity of the empire. But
we are convinced that the occupiers of land in
Ireland are, at present, utterly unable to meet extraordinary
levies, and if such be now attempted to be enforced they
most be so at treat cost to the executive, and such peril of
the pnblipeace as may endanger the very frame-work of
toddy. We recognise a similar conviction as operating on
your excellency in the recent Treasury minute, directing the
postponement for a short time of enforcing the Treasury
advances. We thank your excellency for recommending
such a step, and entreat of you to exert your powerful in-
fluelum that a sufficient time be given to the country to re-
view from its prostration ere repayments an sought, and
assure your excellency that such a course will entitle you to
the nation's gratitude, acd do more to restore prosperity
than any other course yon could adopt. We now beg to
conclude, by assuring your excellency that you will always
find the county of Oalway loyal, peaceable, and industrious,
and anxious in every way to cooperate with your excellency's
paternal endeavours to develop the resources and promote
the improvement and prosperity of Ireland.
His Excellency then read the subjoined reply
Mr. High Sheriff, my Lords, and Gentlemen,—l thank
you sincerely for the kind and hearty welcome you have
given me to your province, when I come at an important .
moment, and at the invitation of my noble and excellent
friend, Lord Clancarty, to perform what I considerto be the
duty of one in my situation, which is, to learn, from the
men authentic source, the real condition of the country, end
to advise with those most capable of giving me information
upon the measures that may best conduce to the benefit of
Ireland. I thank you, also, fur assuring me—although such
an assurance on the part of the nobilit gentry, and clergy of
the county of Ordway, caanot be needful—that you acknow-
ledge the sympathy exhibited by my countrymen in the
dreadful calamity which has overwhelmed Inland. You
may, perhaps, not be aware, bat I am sure you will learn
with satisfaction, that the amount of subscriptions through
the British Association, the Society of Friends, and other
channels, exclusive of public grants, exceeded the sum of
700,0001. ; and as no similar effort for a like purpose was at
any time, or in any country, ever made, so, I doubt not,
you will consider it as • proof that the whole nation did
its duty, although no more then its duty, in regarding as
an imperial calamity the famine which laid Ireland waste.
But ail have done their duty in their respective spheres ;
and among the gentry, the ministers of religion, and
medical practitioners, there are, indeed, melancholy proofs
of the self-sacrificing devotion with which the sufferings
of their fellow-creatures have been alleviated. Even if I

had arrived in Ireland as a stranger I could no longer
have the feelings of one, after the cordiality and kind-
ness with which I have been received, by all classes and
parties; but I have no such feelings on coming amongst you,
for time has only continued in me all the interest which a
former residence created, and that interest is, if possible, in-
creued by the recent event in my family., to which you have
had the goodness to allude. I fear, indeed, the melan-
choly picture which you have drawn of the condition of
the country, is by no means an exaggerated one, nor was
it possible that a misfortune, unparalleled in history, should
not have left behind it the traces of desolation ; and yet we
should be disguising from ourselves the truth, of all things
the moot important towards future improvement, if we attn.
buted the present embarrassments of Ireland solely to the
failure of the staple food of the people. It is unnecessary
for me to particularise, but you will, I am sure, admit it,
that many of the afflicting circumstances to which you have
alluded, are of a date long antecedent to the famine, and
have their origin in causes quite unconnected with that
calamity, the remedy for which will be found in
resolute exertion, and by determining without fear, and
without vain illusions, to face the difficulties by which,
individually and collectively, we are environed. I am
very certain that the county of Galway will never repudiate
the debts to which its honour stands pledged, and that every
effort will be made for the repayment of advances. That the
government are fully sensible of the embarrassments which
press upon the owners and occupiers of land, and are most
anxious to bear leniently upon the crippled resources of the
country, is proved by the fact that, as yet, no repayment
has been asked for, and that no additional tax, consequent
upon the great measures of relief, has hitherto been levied.
I am conscious thst the same spirit will, as far as may be pos-
sible, guide all future proceedings ; but I take the liberty
of reminding you, gentlemen, that when we talk of the
government, we in reality mean the Treasury, or, in other
words, the taxes, mainly paid by the working classes;i and
that, as owing to the commercial and monetary crisis, now
unfortunately of long duration, and to the enormous price
of food for many months past, these classes are at present
everywhere in a state of extreme suffering ; and as the re-
venue has, by a natural consequence, fallen off to a great
amount, the government, as the guardians of the public
purse, and bound to watch alike over the interests of the
whole community, must necessarily find itself incapacitated
from doing all that under more prosperous circumstances it
would desire, and would think it a duty to do for Ireland. I
feel assured that: under your precepts and example the county
of Galway will always be found loyal, peaceful, and industri-
ous. I thankfully accept your offers of co-operation, and I
shall always receive with pleasure any advice or opinion you
may favour me with towards our common object of develop-
ing the resource, and promoting the prosperity of Ireland.
His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, after receiving the
addresses from the town and county, went through the
Raciepark, and appeared delighted with the immense flocks
of sheep—he was accompanied by Lord Clancarty, and seve-
ral of the distinguished visitors at present stopping at Oar-
belly. His excellency afterwards rode through the town on
horseback, accompanied by Lord Clancarty.

SCOTLAND.

EDINBURGH, OCT, 5.

,
Resisting all claims to Lowland regeneration, tke
central board for Highland destitution are to restrict
themselves to their original intention of relieving
Celtic penury. They have issued an elaborate report,
which was duly discussed at a general meeting held
yesterday, and the above conclusion was all but unani-
mously agreed to. The report may be given at full
length, as the declaration of a body whose proceedings
have often been called in question.

fraud, and wilful imposition," any. usage of the coffee
trade notwithstanding. The curious point in this
argument is that those who use it should ever have
had &doubt that wilful adulteration is a misdemeanour;
and that the doubt exists is shown bv their commisera-
tion of the culprit of the meal adulteration. To
cheat the poor by. retail is too much a matter of course
to be thought immoral ; but why the conviction of
Bannatine—who cheated the starving by wholesale—
! should have excited the ire of even his coadjutors in
trade, it is difficult to understand. His crime was, in
its intention, manifestly so wide a step beyond the
every-day chicanery of trade as to have been calcu-
lated to sharpen the dullest sense of morality. In
principle, however, the offence was no worse than the
petty frauds of retail adulterers, who deserve equal
punishment.
Fever in Glasgow has decreased 32 eases last week,
the number of houses cleansed being 190. The Gorbals
inspector, however, fell a victim last Sunday. The
water company, eager for its rates, grumbles at the
water abstracted for the quenching of fires, &c.,
alleging that only 20,090 of the 100,000 families
composing Glasgow pay them dues. They claim com-
pensation for the water given to the poor through
the public wells, and also for what is used for drain-
age. Crime has elicited the curious sanitary fact
that the well-packed College Churchyard in Glasgow
is used as a bleaching-green, a local paper stating
that a thief lately cleared the yard of a quantity of
clothes that were drying.
Petitions are being sent from the west to suppress
premature herring fishing at Ballantrac. The peti-
tioners state that—
For years pan they have observed and experienced the *Leming
defalcation of the Sabine at every station where the herring need to
be obtained In myriads, which falling off they ascribe to the Oestrus-
tire flatting which Is annually tarried on at Ballantrae Badge, where
the herrings resort in the wing; and while in the act of spawning,
or in a sickly state, are, by the cupidity of stranger flehermen, caught,
and thereby millions of spawn are destroyed along with the mother
ash; so the. if the present system la allowed to go on fora few years
longer, it will not only yearly diminish, but will be totally extirpated
In the space of six or eight years.
They further state—
That there are from 1,400 to 1,500 boats at present engaged in the
herring fishing in the wait of Scotland, each beat and nets averaging
from Out. downwards, with a new each of four men ; and that this
capital will be almost totally lost, and the fishermen, many of them
bung old, will be thrown upon the charity of their oeuntrymen,
unless some legislative enietnicut interposes, to prevent the Oestrus.
tion of our national inherit..
They refer to the acts for the protection of game
and salmon, by prescribing the respective seasons for
shooting and fishing, &c., and conclude, that unless
an act is speedily passed to protect the herring fishing
in the same way, in a short time the went coast
fishing will be amen the things that were.
latex PIRACY.—On Saturday the schooner Elizabeth and
Mary, laden with oats, from Limerick to Glasgow, arrived
at the Tail of the Bank, and reported that she had been
boarded when off Blackeod Point, west of Ireland, by a ban-
ditti of from seventy to eighty fellows, who forcibly took
away from 16 to 20 tons of the cargo.
RAILWAY ACCIDENT.-011 blandly kW a mason, residing
at Saltmarket, Glasgow, was killed by a train upon the
Garrikirk Railway. Deceased and other five men were em-
ployed in building a wall about a mile and a half distant
from the station. Immediately after the passing of a train
at a quarter-past eleven, he crossed the rails for the purpose
of getting a light from a cinder that had dropped from the
train, and before be had time to return to the other aide,
the advancing half-past eleven train strack him down, cut-
ting off both hie feet, and other ise severely mangling him.
Ile expired almost immediately. No blame whatever was
attributable to the engine man or any one connected with
the line.

STEAM-BOILER EXPLOSION AT HOLBECK.—Yester-
day, Mr. Blackburn, the coroner for Leeds, held an inquest
at the Commercial Inn, Ho{beck, to inquire into the circum-
stances which led to the deaths of John Newton and Harriet
Harrison, at the time of the explosion of a steanzengine
boiler, on the premises of Moan. Smith, Beacock, and 'fan-
nett, machine-makers. A great deal of evidence was taken,
and the coroner having summed up the case, the jury, after
a short consultation, found a verdict that the deceased were
accidentally killed by the explosion of a steam-boiler, which
explosion arose from a deficient supply of water. The jury
added to their verdict a recommendation that in future the
boiler should be supplied with water by a common feed-pipe,
and not by a force-pump.

TIIE PLATE ROBBERIES AT STOCEI•OT.T.—Mr. J.
Howard, silversmith and jeweller, of Corporation-street,
Manchester, who stands charged with having received at
venous times large quantities of plate, supposed to be stolen,
was brought up on Friday at the Kuutvford Sessions-house.
The only witness examined was Win. H. Ellis, a prisoner in
Chester Castle under sentence of transportation. He entered
into a detail of the numerous robberies—principally of plate
—in which he had been concerned during the year, while
following the occupation of a chimney sweep. A large
quantity of the stolen property he had sent to hui aunt, Ann
Mignon, end be had accompanied her several times to Man-
chester where she sold it. He described the facts connected
with those transactions with the utmost minuteness. He
spoke in particular of going to a shop facing Market-street,
where his aunt left a basket containing some stolen plate,
and subsequently called again with the witness. Ile says
" The master came out, and said one-ball of it (the plate) is
marked all over, and it would take him two hours or more to
sort it out, and we must come again in about two hour.. He
was a dark-complexioned man, in a black sunout, black
cloth trousers' and a bat. We came again in about two
hours and a half. She went into the shop; it was then
dark, about seven o'clock at night. I stood on the alp, but
could not see into the shop. She stayed about five or ten
minutes, and then came out. She gave me then three or four
sovereigns ; we then went home. I never saw the person
who had the silver more than once. He had black whiskers
at the side. I think I should know him again. He would
stand very near six feet. I have not seen him since. [The
different persons in the room were here tusked to stand up.
They consisted of the magistrate, his clerk, Mr. Hud-
son, and Mr. Needham, ealiciter to the prisoner; Mr.
Joha Davies, of No. 1, Irwin-street, New-road, Man-
chester ; Mr. Sadler, superintendent of the Stock-
port police ; and a constable, and the hall-keeper
of the castle.] I point out that gentleman (pointing to Mr.
Davies), as something the name height. lam not certain it
is him, but now I look at him I think he is very like him.
I think that is him. He is not dressed in the same clothes.
I believe the person I saw had black whiskers. (Mr.
Davies's whiskers an black at the bottom.) He had his hat
on when I saw him.—(The same parties were here naked to
put on their hats. The prisoner was placed in a line with
them, exactly as before, the witness being out of the room,
without communication. On his return)—l think that is
the man (pointing to Mr. James Howard); I am vire that
'is the man, but he has bad his whiskers shaved off. I be-
lieve him to be the man. I may be mistaken. I should be
sure if he had his whiskers on. He is dressed in the same
manner. Ido not know, even now, that any person is in
custody for the silver; I have had no communication that
any one is in custody.--(This, in consequence of some doubts
raised by the prisoner's attorneys as to the knowledge of the
witness.) I never went with any more silver, ray aunt
took all the rest"— The ease was adjourned until the
following day, when Ann Higson made a tong statement, in
the course of which she said, " William Sisson Ellis told
me he had got some spoons," and I asked him, " Where
have you got them ?" He said, " That is my business,
and not yours." He said that I must sell them; and I
said I did not know where to sell them ; there
was nobody in the town here [meaning Stockport] who
would buy such stuff; no silversmiths here, and that I
could not sell them without I went to Manchester to sell
them; And he said I must .foe them there, then. I
agreed to take them there; I went alone. That was the
first time. I called at two or three places. I called first
at a watchmaker's going down to Market-street, on the
left-band side, below the public-house near the fish MILL
near the Crescent, past Rutholme.lane ; in Bank Top it
was. It was down on the left-hand aide, going up steps,
There is a fish stall opposite. I went in to ask a young
ma I saw there what they gave for old silver; and he
told me 4s. Bd. I had the silver in my pocket. I came out,
and left the shop, and said I would come again. I
bad three table spoons in my pocket ; they were broken;
I did not notice whether there were marks upon them. The
bowl was broken off two of them, and one was bent double.
I could not tell how they were broken. I did not show them
to the young man. I came out, and went down Bank Top,
an to Piccadilly. I called at • shop there ; one part was a
silversmith's, and the other part had toys in the window. I
saw there a man and two young women, and I spoke to
the gentleman who sat at the back of the counter.
I asked him if he bought old silver. Ile asked
me to let him look at it. I took it out of my pocket,
and he had it in his hands and looked at it; and he
came round the counter, and said he would go and find
some stuff to try it, whether It was silver or not. He left the
spoons on the counter, and went out of the shop; and I stood

and I took up the spoons and left the shop. I went nee
straight down Market-street, and into a corner shop, a kie 1
of little earner shop, a new shop, a kind of new building o
the right-head side of Market-street ; it just faces you as you
come down. The door enters into the shop from the
street turning down to go to Shudebill ; there is no door
into Market-street. I went into that shop, and I saw a
person I thought was the master, that I expected
was the master, and a young man rubbing the windows.
I asked him if he bought old silver, and he said
yes ; and I asked him what he gave. lie said 4s. 6d. I
gave him the same spoons I had Milt the shop in Piccadilly.
Here the witness was removed from the room, and Mr. Cop-
pock (the town clerk) said he was going to ask a question as
to her identification of any person there. He would request
that all the gentlemen present who stood up with the pri-
soner would have their hats on. [The ,witness being intro-
duced when a number of gentlemen were standing
in a row with their hats on, and Mr. Howard in the
midst of them, she was told to identify Mr. Howard, on
which she went up to him, and said, " You know me,
Mr. Howard; I am sorry to say it, but you do."] The
meditation of the witness, Ann Iligson, was then
resumed : I did not know his name at the time. When I
gave him the three table spoons, broken up, into his bands,
he took and weighed them, and he paid me a sovereign and
some odd silver. I said I thought they would have come to
more; and he said, " You should get some of these little
scales and weigh the plate before you bring it." He showed
me his weights, what sort they were, and he asked me where
I brought it from, and I maid those that gathered such like
stuff travelled with a basket, and swapped it for geode. He
asked me what the name was, and I told him James Hallam.
I told him I lived in Demote:M. He said, when I did bring
any more, if I saw anybody in the shop I most not take any
notice, but put it down—put down what I had to bring upon
the counter, and go out about my bwiness, and to come in again.
