Mr Ingby Seymour said it had come to his knowledge
thtt bird Kio,reton had written a letter to his solicitor,
eli:.•h the itteteleat in charge refused to give up. He
whether the aerosol on the "'her side would object
t .'be te.,thiction of list letter, which he desired to see.
Mr M. t'luinbers had oo objection, and the letter was
tot for.

The Wolter wisbed to correct a slight mistake that had
alis.iresl in the newspapers with reference to a matter
mcotp.wsl by himself and some of the witnesses yesteriLiy.
It vi. ryported that Lord Kingston spoke very severely
grab rcf,rence ter certain gentlemen of the bar with whom
h. Meg'.' that he bad pecuniary transactions. What he
M.ister) said was distinctly not of the English Isar.

Mr. ,eymour said the account of the Mister of his
isi rview with Lord Kingston, sad the evidence of Drs.
Cow.lly, Munroe, and Swabey, had taken the c..unsel on
b•lulf of Lord Kingston so completely by surprise, that
they were plains] in a very difficult position, arml he applied
for an adjournment for a day or two to enable him to com.
manic:dm with Lord Kingston's solicitors, who resided in
I eihlin, stating what had occurred.

The Master sake& if his opinion had been telegraphed to
the ..lieitnee.

Mr. Seymour had ant advised that course, considering
:t would be hotter that any course that might be taken
should be taloa with the sanction of the Master. He had
now in his hands the lettor from Lord Kiegstoa, to which
be had before alluded, which certainly contained no
evidence of inanity. It was addressed to Mr. Dean, the
Nont in London for the l)ublio solicitors, soil it ran as
follows :

" April 11, HIM.
My dear Sir, -1 thought it well to write the enclosed
for Mr. Montnotir. It VISA a pity I was not present ;if so,
thre would never have dared to make such accusations.
Will you he so good as to send a telegraphic message to :lei,

graph reply &c. the private letter to me and my reply,
which i. .Mott—Your very truly, " Klscarrox.
P.S. It is a great pity partial evidence was admitted
into the papers."
The Master did not undentand what was the object of
sealiii4 the telegram, and if there hail been anything to he
cooed by it the solicitor. might have been
the
at the
isitury. Walt regard to the postscript, proceedings
had no ilouht a certain amount of publicity ; but
del not think it was any evidence of mnity to state that
t.,rtul evidence was 011•111•4 into the papers.
Mr. Seymour • iiil the construction to be put upon
the wool. wa. not that the newspapers had published
iorthil reports, but that the evidence taken hail beep ex-
pate.
Mr. M. Chambers appealed to his learned friend
whether with evidence so conclusive before them he
omkl not be doing hi. duty if he withdrew from
tie case, end save the expense and investigation of fur-
ther manful details. The family were anxious that it abould
le understood that they were actuated by no evil or unfair
efereooes, but that they felt compelled from kindness and
Litsianity to this very near relation to come forward, where
they were in fact dragged forward by the interference

ere. TO save expense then, be felt homed to oppose the
applicatioe for delay, as it appeared to his that the ache-
h•n could be telegraphed to whiles be proceeded with his
case, if, as did out appear from Lord Kingston's letter, say-
thing was to he gained from the communication.
The Mmter said it appeared to him that the letter of Load
Kingstoe was no justification for the postponement of their
proceedings. If anything rational was capable of
