and violent language, and had also annoyed him
in the Court of Exchequer, whilst engaged in the
duties of his office, by gestures. Application was made to this
court by complainant, and the parties having appeared the
summons was discharged or. deft 'Manes undertaking to
i desig front his line or conduct. Complainant had also
brou;lit an action for libel against defendant, gained a ver-
dict for .3001. damages, but agreed to forego that advantage
upon defendant subscribing an apology. This was done;
but neat day complainant received by post a sheet of paper,
on which was drawn a figure of a coffin bearing the initials
of the receiver. The same system of annoyance was kept
up until the 6th inst. While engaged in his duties at the
Court of Exchequer the defendant came again to him,
and menaced him with personal violence. The next day he
received a letter bidding him 'Laketon the fate of Jenny."
These letters complainant was satisfied came from defendant,
his brother. Defendant was a very excitable man,l and
the complainant was placed in fear by his conduct.

brother had conjured up artificial fear.. Ile called •
friend, who said he did not think the offensive letters came
from the defendant. _ .

➢lr. Arnold considered it necessary to hold Ow defendant
to bail to keep the peace towards his brother, and accepted
two securities of 1501. each, and his own recognisance'
for 3001.

terrace, Lambeth-walk, was charg. d with violating the per-
son of Eliza Swindon, a girl of 14 years of age.
The testimony of the prorecutris, an intelligent girl, and

prisoner's guilt, and he was fully committed to take his
trial on the capital charge.
