The following avidness was um adduced for the de-
faident: _ _

Jeer h Stohosamr, the Adersat, was then called and
examined-1 have amid on business as • master tailor in
London fur twenty-six years. lam governor of several cha-
rities in London. I received • letter from the Arnim em-
bassy, tailing me to go to 6, Charlotte-street, and see • pinion
there. 1 saw Madame Welosetattio. She told ms she had
been left by her husbaad inbestvdiailrese. A child was in
the room. 1 asked who it to, and she said, It is
tonne." I believe that wag the which I duos retrained
was Bariald's. BM said her husband had gone to America
in May, and she had trimmed everything to assist him Is
going there. She gold she had been without toed for
moral days. I gave her half-a-crown which was
all I had in my pocket. I called I believe the
aunt day, and gave her half-a-sovereign. I was surprised
to see her in such comfortable led/logs, and she said the
apartments belonged to • friend of her husband's,
a Mr. Bternfeldt, whose wile was too delicate to live there. I
did not see Bierafeldt until October. Madame Wekoostein
called upon me, and asked me to recommend her to the Ger-
man Society of Benevolence, of which lam chairman. The
moiety gar her • pound. She called in • few days, and
said for relief, as the 'overshot had been chiefly paid in
rent, and she had nothing to live upon. I then gave her
buff-a-crown. I told her she must not call upon me so often
far relief. She said the could work and wash, and had
orders for work from several ladies, and only wanted money
to enable her to execute them. She said she had tome
articles pledged, and had spent • few shillings from time to time
as Interest in order not to lose them. I said, " Then sell the
things." BM said she could not find • buyer, and she ulti-
mately brought the tickets to me. I gave money to my foreman
to redeem them, and lie did so. The goods were brought to
my shop la Co&duit-street. It cost me between 211. and
221. to redeem the things. I put aside the articles, which
were of no use to me, and she took them away. She ward
me to bay the articles left for 51. I said I thought they
were worth mere, and if sold would produce more. I think
the shawl valued by the plaintiff at 201. was pledged with
sore ether articles for 32r. I bought a new one aims for 31.
I believe It is better than the plaintit's. I believe It la the
same charsder of shawl. [The embroidered shirts, described
r worth 2!. each, and several other article', were here pro-
duced.] I let her have beyond the 211. paid to the pawn-
brokers, about 131. for them things. It was more than they
were worth. She bad it from time to time, She expressed
herself paten' to me. She tried to kiss my hand every
time she came, end when she could not catch my hand she
would astaii my kneee—(tanghter)—or anything else—the tall
Gamy coat. (Laughter.) She offered my foreman a piece of silk
for 10a. 61., which was worth more, fcr his trouble. He
refused it, of mune. When she was ill she asked me not to
let her go to the barite', and I rat my own doctor to
attend her. He is Dr. Love. He made no charge to me for
attending her. I did Dot like her to be coming to me so often,
end I asked her to send her friend to me. Steroidal then
called on me is Ootober. I had no idea then she we. Wel-
nenatin. He said she was the wife of a brother allege, who
was lookieg up his uncle in America. (Laughter.) Herd
he was • man living on his own mesas. A man named
Corr told me that she lived with Siernfeldt, whose name wee
Stetting, se man and wife. 1 told Madame Welunstein
this. She denied it, and saki it was an it:rearm to
do her harm. She add it w not tree that be was
living with her. I told her the Oman had said she had
borrowed the child. She said it was sot tras—
h was her own. I saw Madame Polars. She
called upon me to ask me to go to 5, Charlotte-street, to
prove that Corno's statement about the child was, untrue. I
went there. and Madame Weissman, Madame Borfeld,
and her child were there. Madame Polinskl said to the
child, " Now, you hold your tongue," and told the child to
go into the next room and bring out her mamma. She
brought out Medians Welsenstria. That did not quite con-
vine, me. I asked the child who was the other woman P
She nod, That is my aunt Bortlfeld." I dlamedited Corna's
statement after this, on amount of hie character. Madame
Polinaki asked me to go and see Madams Welionstein, who
was In an awful rats of mind. I accordingly went to see
her that evening. She said she was mat grateful to me.
She celled me ever so many benevolent names, and
In her gratitude she sodeavourel to lay hold of my
hand to kiss it. I hate those kind of things.
She fell on her kora, and called me ber saviour, when the
door suddenly operi, and I saw the heed of the man
Welasontin, who them called himself Steenfeldt but
ha saver came into the room at all. I did not see Friar
there—tbere was no such person in the home. There is ao
truth in her statement that I put my hand round her waist
and kissed her. I never kissed any woman but my own
family. The mina night she called upon me with a person
named Frieok at the German Club. She said her friend was
touch annoyed, and asked me to writes letter, to avoid future
unplamantness with her husband, that nothing wrong and
affecting her character bad mound. I took the letter to
her. Biandeldt afterward/ asked me to waist Madame
Weitanstain to get some furniture, and he would
take • house, and allow her the ground floor free of rent
to enable her to carry on her business. They could not get
• house, as they could not get • good reference. I became
their referee, and they got the boom in Booleston-tarreee.
Madame Pollaski told toe that Sterakidt's name was not
Stenifeldt, but some German oount. I asked him big real
name, and he said, "I am Baron Von Sobwannenfelt ;" but
ha bad fought a duel, and had taken the name of Eiterafelar.
I said I hoped he would take the house in his right Dams,
and he took the house as Baron Edgar de Sohwannenfelt. I
bad given Madame Wattmeter 201. to furnish the gonad
floor. I advanced him 301 and took his 0U as Baron
Edgar de Schwannenfelt. I' did so in aciaseratnee of the
document with large seals and the high testimonials he
showed me. I had no knowledge at that time that his name
was Weranstein. I afterwards advanced him 461. en
his I 0 U. This was on the 14th and 21st of
Janut, 1858. The bore was taken at Christie/m.086T.

came in, and I accused him of not paying his debts. He said,
"• Upon my honour, I have." Krebl said he had not, that
the plaintiff said he had given the messy to his wife, sod
she could not have paid them. The plaintiff afterwards
made it appear that in assisting him topay his debts had
led him into • greater calamity. 1 said, , Well, If you think
so, I will give you 201. if you will go away (out of the
