BOW-STREET.
The Rev. James Charles Ward, whose esansinatioa so an
alleged length: hai been adjourned by cement from the
previous week, and who la the intiaawkile bad remains]
free from restraint, spot his 'smogs' to attend, presented
himself at the appointed hoer (12 o'clock), at which time,
however, neither Kr. Greeswood, the solicitor to the Tres
my, nor any Os. on lea parr, was in sttendanae.
A little after the hour Sergeant noire, of the A diet-

tant baguets, but would attend at 1 o'clock.

the purpose of examlshig him. If Mr. Ward had say wit-
seem they would probably he alto in attoutliase. The
ofilost?had bons, Worn Mr. Gresawood of this, and re-
quest him to teaks as little delay as he sceoveniastly would.
Mr. Ward bare some forward and iaquirod whetior, coo-

Mr. Ward Inquired whether the magistrate was et *Mon

Mr. Henry—Well, I think yen are.
Mr. Ward ()Monad that he had made another sppo,nt-
meat at 2, sad besides, the delay that had already meowed

doe which he bad ao doubt would be unfairly need.
Mr. Healey would take oars that the prima, delay ehou'd
not be tamed to any 'afar me. Al for the appointment
at 2, the ezentinatton at 1 would leave Mr. Wmd ample
time to attend to it. . . .

Mr. Ward still appeared &mutinied, observing teat he
himself wis so punnetst that be would not wait for his break-
fast. He, however, &Wised to set upon his worship's sug-

es be bad douse on the last occasion, or whether be might sit
at the attorneys' tables.
Mr. Hoary said he certainly might If he pleased. He
was not charged with say offence, and the piece when he
stood was not a deck or prisoner's boo.
Mr. Ward thee seated himself at the 'Means' table, and
wended himself anti/half-put 1 in looking over his papery.
He then again addressed the magistrate, asking if his wor-
ship did not coulder that Is Penne which he was disposed
to estend to the legal reprisentatives of the authorised was
being abused.
Mr. Henry replied that be had that lament been in-
formed of the arrival of Mr. Greenwood, and suggested that
Mr. Ward should go and eonftr with him in ono of the
rooms attached to the cont.
Mr. Ward went out for the purpote of tiding on this sug-
gestion, and after a further &lee of half an hoar, the pro-
creediop were resumed at two o'clock.
Mr. Greenwood, s licitor to the Treasury, said—With
reeptes, sir, to the cue of Mr. Ward, I have already
scologised to him, and I ought now to apologise to
you, for my want of punctuality in not being here
at twelve o'clock, but it was not my fault. I
have received information this morning, in Menus to
other matters connected with Mr. Ward, which has satis-
fied me that more ought to be dinilosed than you have yet
heard. I have ant yet been able to prove, by strictly legal
evidence, the luta which have so recently come to my know
ledge, and therefore I have to pietas., with your sanction,
that the warrant stand over and be baud upon some future
day--esy this day fertaighe
Mr. Ward wished in the first instant's to observe that
reports had appeared in the public journals, to which
his attention had been called, and to shah he claimed
the right of replying is as public a manner as us-
Utile. ()es of the evils which hod already arisen from
then proceedings was, that it had gone forth by this mode
of publication that be had gone slant to Lord Darby, to the
Archbishop of Canterbury, and other perloos—repreeenta-
dons founded on statements made Mr. Greenwood in opin-
ion the case on the first day, and were so espreeeed as to
sonny an impression that he had no business to call up so
sack persona—that he was visiting people with wtom be
had no acquaintance, and acting altsgethir in an ioirr. per
and weressonable amour. He regarded it as an injustice
that he was obliged to state that he had business
those perroise wholly unconnected with the circumstances in
which this cease had orthinsted. The impression might also
be mauled that he had not men the persona epos whom
be had so called—Lord Palmerston, for instance—whereat,
is feet, he bad had numerous interviews with Lord PIII.
menthe and with the other gentlemen mentioned. Whether
or no, he bad not called without having wholly private and
unsure matter to authorise his doing so; and he consi-
dered that say utj et of her Majesty had a right to call
upea them, if he pleased.
Mr. Henry thought the defendant need not go into that.
It was only stated that defendant had called and left letters
at the houses of the &bloats and gentlemen referred to,
bat that their contents were net knows.
