Mr. Jardine upon a warrant, charging him with laving seat
a latter to His Royal Highness the Doke of Cambridge, am-
talabig threatening language in reference to Augustus Fre-
derick !relay, a colonel in the Gramdier (iearda.
_ .

The tette; Wes put in evidence, and reed by Mr. Barsaby,
the chief clerk. It was u follows :

"Dec. 12, 1867.
" Your Royal Highness,—l am inkrnmd by Coked Pip=
that you can adopt no further proceedings in the matter be-
tween Major Foley and myself therefore having no other
eaves open to me bat that of wild mow. When my we
is before the public, I question if your royal highness will
hold so high a potation in the mind of the people as at pre-
sent. You have In my case protected an officer 'gland •
man most unjustly. All that I have seemed Foley of is the
truth, and you know that—the blackest part being that of •
liar ea well se a robber.

"rMaTad, my only reason for not taking the law into
my own hand. at the time the event occurred, wee to see if it
was possible fora man to get any justice when oppteed to an
cater; and there is none. But ea I have mid from the fad,
I will have judos at any coat —I am, sir, your humble
Yew
" T. PICKERING.
" Yen need not troable anyone to answer this."

Defendant-1 admit that I &dames& that letter to hie
BlijoaLlHlghnitia. It to my writing.
Foley examined—l am a colonel in the Grenadier
Guards. The prisoner was a private in the same regiment.
He was discharget by hie own request. I received the letter
produced tram his Royal Highness the day before yesterday,
and I am apprehensive of some violence from the prisoner
consequence of the threat contained therein.
Defendant—My object in writing that letter was simply to
bring my case before the public. On the 6th of December
ISM while I was on ditty in the Crimes, Colonel Folei
&said • body of armed men to rob ate of • sovereign.
have never since been able to get any redeems, and I wrote
that letter on purpose to get apprehendei. Colonel Faisy
has written letters upon this imbject to thnlioceetarrat-Wer,
containing statements wholly entree. I only require thei
setter to be Investigated.
Colonel Foley—llls complaint has been already submitted
to the authorities, and tally investigated.
Mr. Jardine--I have no doubt of that. Such matters are
generally inquired into, and the prisoner should have been
content to alaie by the decision. As to getting hie case
before the public, nodvantage would be likely to result to
him from that. As public opinion is now constituted, it would
no doubt agree with the conclusions formed by the tribunal
appointed, with the public sanction to investigate such
renters. At all events I cannot hates to your nonsense
about an officer setting on a body of armed men to rob you,
and the public are too sensible to believe it either. You have
been very (eolith, and have got yourself into a serious
wraps, for you will have to find sureties to keep the peace.
Deindent-1 cen offer no mystics except my own.
Mr. Jardine—You must enter into your own recognisance.
in SW., and provide two sureties of 401. each, So keep the peace
towards Colonel Foley end all her Majesty's subjects for
twelve months.
