Mr. Broughton : Have you anything to do with the
royal family of Oude ? Applicant: lam a Mahon-in-le-
-1— nd a native of the kingdom of Oude. [Applicant

p ime minister of Oude. I receive £lOO a month for
my services.

A witness for the applicant said that he saw him
(applicant) forced out of the house, and that he saw a
person take something out of the pocket of the appli-

Mr. Broughton : Did you tell the policeman so ?
Witness : Yes, sir.

Mr. Broughton : This is most extraordinary; there is
a ch,rge of robbery on the King's highway.
Sergeant of division D 6 said that he had heard some-
thing of the affair at the Paddington station. He was
informed that the purse was missed in the house, that
there Was a serious disturbance in the house, and that
many of the parties were under the influence of drink.
Applicant : No, never drunk. It is forb.dden in their
religion. It is a crime in every way.
Mr. Broughton : You only take wine as a medicine ?
Applicant : Yes, sir.
Mr. Jackson, of the D division, said it was likely that
as persons in the house were connected with a foreign
royal family, the constable thought it was his duty to
decline to interfere.

Mr. Broughton observed that a list of names of those
in the establishment was sent by the Secretary of State
to the Court.

Mr. Jackson : Yes, sir ; and a list has been received
by the superintendent.
Mr. Broughton enquired if the person complained
against was attached to the embassy ? Applicant : No,
he is not, sir.

The applicant was then asked to swear by the oath
taken on the Koran, to the truth of his statement as to
the assault. The applicant then held up his right hand,
and took the required oath in the name of Allah.
A warrant was then issued against the accused.
