count) ; that thereupon the goods were twwarded to No. 4,
Corbet-court, and that upon the chtque being presented for

" no effects."
Additional evidence was now given as follow.

Jein Baptiste Fkot add =I live at No. 8, New-street,
Wbitechapsl, and em a commission agent. I have Aran the
defsudant, but have never spoken to him. I know a person
nainei IloltfeL who has also eons by the name of Pennon.
I Know the offices at No. 4, Corbebcourt. I have seen
Holifcl theirs and also Low, who appeared to be sitting
down like a stranger. I sew them together towards the cod
of' Jane, but I know nothing about their going to Scotland.
Mr. Iloitrel had been there. . . .

John lilockell-1 carry on basin... at 4, Corbet-court,
Girseechurch-street, which beliwge to roe. I have seen the
defeodant about the plaos there, cowing in and out of Peter-
son's ottlee, or the office of • man representing himself Peter-
son. Petersen 01014) firer about the offices, and I did not see
Lew for a week after. I then cow them in the office together
for about five minutes. Low came very frequently after-
wards, but coned say bow long he stayed. I heard Low
tell Peterson that the office', sere not suitable for him, but I
did not hear hint say any thing abut MAI offices. I put a
diotroior into the offices under there circumstances. When
Mr. Peterson was in Peeked Mr. Low wanted to rem tee
some goods from the offl.v, and, as I thought I should cover
get my Met if I allowed them to go, I stepped them till the
money was paid but I cannot my that Mr. Low found the
messy. The fir. Low I refer to Is not the defendant, but
another Mr. Low, and I cannot say where he curled on
badness.
Mr. Leon mid be had a tritners named Schriever who
could prove that a alone coonexion had existed between the
defendant and Petereen (or }toilet) which would leave little
doubt es to the conspiracy: but this wens'', contrary to hie
expotation, was not now In court, and be (Mr. Loz'on)
therefore coked for a farther remand, Ia order to enable Mot
to produce this witness, sod generally to strengthen his case.
Mr. Sleigh submitted that, so far, there was not a tittle of
evideece to rapport the charge against the defendant, who
was& most respectable man, end had merely been connected
with Peterson by being engaged to *reemploy hint to the
North and give him the bard; of his judgment in making
purchase.. He contend. d, therefore, that no farther remand
ought to be granted, and that the defendant was entitled to
his fall diecteree.
Aldermen Ito.. raid the case for the prosecution bed so far
entirely foiled, sad so be had been already once remanded
