but his statement that he had only left*. ring at Mr. East-
wood's to be examined, end had sot sold or pledged it, was
believed, and he wu liberated on hie promise to appear the
following day. He failed to do so, however, and as it was
found that he had sold the wing, a warrant was issued, on
which he had now been taken.
Mr. Jardine said it was a question whether the exhibition
of the ring at the court might not hare been an artful model
of getting up a detente beforehand. There were circus-I
stances is his favour, and there might be a doubt of his
sanity, bat It was • ease for ajary. Hs should commit the
primer for trial.
