the 3rd of Jun.. He was in the room shout twenty tointes,
and the dxument was there the whole time. Mrs. Black-
burst ordered some wine, of which lir. Ambler partook,
and the prisoner was about to do the tame, when n.
Blackburn said to " You had bettor not taint any
wine, it may get into your head; and you know you bars

Re-examined by Mr. Pollock—After Mrs. Bleekbunt had
signed the paper, the prisoner folded it in the form it was

and it was so left on the table
when they left the room.
The eic.l in which the supposed forged interlineation

I liver it to Mr. Pedder, at the bank. It was between six and
seven in the evening when Mrs. Blackburst gave her the
parcel. Mr. and Mn. Machinist went to Buxton on the
Thursday of that week. Mrs. Manhunt had not good

maned at Buxton till the Tuesday following. Saw Mrs.

wee a hanks at Preston. Knew lire. Blackhunt, and had
authority to honour her cheques. Attend, d her 'funeral on
the 3rd of Anon. After the funeral, he produced at Lie.l
bon Hall a packet, folaed in white paper, aea'ed and ad-
dread to him, in the handwriting of the prisoner. Believed
he received it from one of his clerks. Also produced another
parcel, wrapped in a onrepaper, with a ribbon round it. He
received this panel from the last witness. He gave three
dosamewts to Mr. Noble, who opened them. The latter
rid the parcel in the newspaper contained a copy of a will in
ffilesigew : the one in the white paper contained a codicil.
Mary Ann Miller, examined by Mr. Pollak.—Said she
liesided in Olesgow, and was a sister of Mr. Kerr, of
I Preston. In May last she visited her brother, and stopped
I pone time with him. She was introduced to Mr. and
Mrs. Blackburn abnut ten days before the latter died.
On that occasion, a paper was given to wines. by Mrs.
Manhunt, contaiaiug a message to the Lord Provost of

Glugow.
Mr. Pollock said hi was shoot to ask the witness what
that message wu, but his learned friend Serjeant Wilkins
objected.
His lordship thought that the question should not be put,
u it was merely a verbal message, and did not relate to an
act done. At Mr. Pollock's request, however, be would
cusult Mr. Baron Alderson, sad retired eccordiogly. On
his return, he stated that Mr. Pollock might ark what that
massage was if it related to an act to be performed by
an one.
Witness neirearnined—Sbe was to deliver this message to
the Lord Provost, but she delivered it to Mr. Forbes, the
town clerk. She was to nil the Lord Provost that Mrs.
Blackburn's will was still the same, and at her death the
authorities were to correspond with her attorney, Mr.

Noble.
Mr. Pollock was about wattling with further in-
qu rite of the wow nature, when Serjeaet With s said be
did not think inch evidence cams within the ruling of his

His lordship coincided in the learned serjeant's view.
I end Mr. Pollock refrained from goiog any wither with thie

witness.
William Brierley, examined by Mr. Catterall, said he was
acquainted wi.h the prisoner. He (witness) was a tenant
under Mrs. Blackhurst. On the 23rd of April be but a con•
venation with his. The prisoner told him that Mrs.
Bleckborst bad said that it he would go with her and live at
Lisbon-ball she would leave him all her property. He said
he had speed to do so, as his children bad not behaved well
to him. After they cam" back to Buxton he saw the pr;soner
again, when he said the journey had improved Mr. }Pack-
horses health, and she had done what she promised.
Mr. Arthur Forbes, town clerk of Glasgow, examined by
Mr Pollock—He stated that the names in the codicil
namely, the Lord Provost aid the magistrates appointed se
trustees to the bequest of Mrs. Blackhurst, were all correct,
a,.d that they were etce at the time it was made.
This was the close of the ease for the prosecution.
B•rjeant Wilkins then rose to address the jury, in his
usual eloquent manner. He carefully analysed the evidence
produced, which, he argued, in no manner proved the seal-'
out charge against the prisoner. Many of the witeemlis
were interested parties, especially the authorities of Ulan
gow, who were rspreasnted by the town clerk, now in cowl,
and who had been instructing his learned friend for the
prosecution. Not one of the witnesses had sworn to the
fact of the prisoner having, by any act of his own, lOW
mitred the crime of which be was charged. Been Mr.
Ashcroft, a most important witness, would not sweat sap
thing positively as to this interlineation. He merely thought
the document had a different appearance now to what it
had when he attested the signature of Mrs. Blackberst.
The learned aerjeant then drew their attention to the hes
probability of the ;ginner, if he had committed the forgery,
asking snub respectable witnesers to attest the document.
It would have been much more like the conduct of a men,
under such circumstances, to have procured some of his
servants as witnesses. He had sot dose so, nor had he
stPcted any concealment in the matter; for he not only
requested the respectable parties brought ,before them to
witness this codicil, but he forwarded it to Mr. Felder,
the trustee under hie wife's will. The learned serjeant
concluded by a powerful appeal to the jury on be halt of
the prisoner.
His lordship summed up at great length, and the jury,
after retiring, brought is a verdict of Not Guilty.

after the despatch of our Liverpool wool on Thuredey
Mr. Serjeant Wilkins asked his lordship to say was their
case to go before the jury ?
His lordship said that it was perfectly true that Mr.
&frill had received a parcel; but there was no reason to
suppose that he could have any knowledge that a partioular
Colony wee committed, nor could he have knowledge of
the contents of the parcel. Toe letter which preceded it
said only that so much was seat. There was nothing to
*:cite any suspicion that the contents of the parcel were
some by unlawfully, unless there was a general under-
standing between Duren and Macaulay, the former
agreeing to receive any property that might be sent him,
and which he had some reason to believe that Macaulay
had Oaten.
Mr. Serpent Wilkins—From beginning to end there was
nothing but surmise, because they saw the entire correspond-
once.
His lordship thought the correspondence was favourable to
the prisoner.. However, as Mr. Blair wished it to go to the
jury, be would not interfere with their province.
Mr. Pollock then proceeded to address the jury on behalf
of Macaulay. He contended that the evidence organist
Macaulay was sot sufficient, and he only feared that the
prejudice which existed in connexion with the prisoners,
through the rumours which had been circulated by the
press, would lead the jury toe wrong conclusion.
Mr. Serf. ant Wilkins followed, and ob d that they
bad before them one of the most respected and respectable
tradesmen is the City et London as a criminal; and
he (Serjaant Wilkins) knew that his only daughter,
not mistruetiog her father's innocence, was waiting
with breathless stalely to know their decision. lie
h.si been anxious to spare Mr. Sirrell. He was tensions
to cell on the jury to remove him from the position
in which he use; te let him go forth with the consciousness
that no imputation rested on his character, to convey pesos
to his home, end to the comfort and prop of his age. He
would take leave to warn his friend who conducted the pro-
secution that there might be eueb a thing as a conviction
that shamed justice and outrased humanity ; he would take
leave to tell him that there might be a conviction which
might be the triumph of prejudice—which might be the
triumph of tact and skill ever innocence; a conviction at
which Heaven Moths d and all good men wept. Everything
shiwed Sirrel to be an honest mac; be wee far more me-

amounting` to 4971. 19s. la gold and silver, and bank
notes and bills of exchange. Beft re the robbery wee

sad struck on various par of his pernon. The prblic-isoner and
his companion ran off with their booty to a pub,..uw,
where the prisoner called for Sit glasses of gin, and offend to
treat any of tin, company with liquor. Whilst in the White
Bina, the pr was heard to say that he had no money at
all, but he situated to get wail on the follewieg day, when
be would make some bets on the Doncaster St. Leger. The
constable who apprehended the prisoner shortly after the
robbery, searched him, end found in his pommel .n only one
snvereign. The prisoner wu afterwards handed over to a
Bradford police-allcer, who placed him in a cell, in the water
closet conntcted with which were afterwards found two 61
notes. These notes, although aot positively sworn to by the

COTTON.—LivnarooL, Dec. 13.—The present week
opened with a firm but qu'et market, the trade buying I
sparingly, and the relatively high rates now current heeler/
limited all speculative transactions. The sales if Friday
were only 6,000 leales : those of Saturday 6,000 ; of Monday
6,000 ; and of Tuesday 4.000 bales. An improved tone per-
vaded general trade in Menchtster on Tuesday : full prices
were readily attainaole for manufactures; and the opinion
gaining grand that peace would be maintained on the
continent, gave general confidence. A consequence of this
has been a decided improvement in demend bore, at some
little advance in prices: the sales of Wednesday were 7,000
bake; and those of yesterday 8,000 bales; the total sales of
the week amounting to 41.240 bales. To-day the trade
again buy freely; and 7,000 bales are 1101 d, at the bight at
ntrs of the week, including 1,000 token on speculation and
for export. To-day there is a difficulty in purchasing the
fair qualities of American at the quotations. American
descriptions are in good request, and less freely offered : the
quotations of "fair" qualities have not changed; but the
lower and middling qualitim have uniformly advanced about
ed. per lb. Brach. and Egyptians are without any material
change in value. BaraU are film freely offered, particularly
the lower qualities ; and they are dull of sale at last week's
prime. 2,960 bales of American, 40 Ferman, 1,730 Ma-
rauhant, 70 Egyptian, and 1,710 Surats have been taken
on speculation, and 440 of American, 40 Perusals, GO Bahia',
and 1,410 Bursts for export.

the laded States, however, we have a moderate Import; a fair
ea rival of Wheat from vanes and Egypt. and from France wholly a
farther large supply of Flour. The state of our market today has
grovel pretty nesrlr a counterpart of the foregoing observations.
fleeing few country buyer', our home millers still much on the re-
' serve, and but few parcels of Wheat taken fur Ireland, the truest.
tone in any descripuon of that grain have been upon a very limited
scale this morning, and our kid currency barely sugained. States and
Canadian F.our, although taken swiftly to.day, maintained pre-
vious rate., whilst French and Irish were very difficult of gale, and
the turn lower in value. Malting Barley Is. per qr. lower, grinding
simples steady In value. Paryptien Beans being offered at a decline of
6d. per gr., sales to a moderate amount were effeCtOd ; other lends,
as well as Peas, moving slowly, at late prima In the absence of
fresh supplies, Oats are fully as dear ea before; o.ameaL on the con-
trary, was little noticed to-day, and 3d. per load cheaper. Indian
Corn, though in sleeker demand for the moment, woo held firmly at
late rated. Arrivals from the 10th to the 11th Dee. taxiways into

WAKEFIRLD, Dee. 13.-Our arrivals of grain are mode-

CATTLE. &e.—Csaxtrilk, Dee. 12.—The show of Cattle

demand for good animals, bat now were to be bud. Buyers did not

ter Beef sales hung heavy, at 4,6 d. to 4s. 9d. per atone. The num-
ber of Sheep on show wit,' considerably ices than last week, but the
quality was an average. Mutton sold rather slowly, about 4'd. to sd.
per lb. There were a few goo I Calves, but the demand for them war
not briek, and they barely brought H. per lb.
Exrrea, Dec 13.—The market for Cattle his been a mere
nominal one, only 14 Bullocks having been driven in. A moderate
•upply of ate*, which sold : ewes, 44d.; and waiters, Sd. per lb.
The supply of Pork moues today was very good-larger than that
of last week- but, the demandbeingerceedingly sluggish, prim ruled
dull, ranging from Ss. to Gs. Gd. per some.

BICESTER (OXFORDSHIRE) FAIR, Dee. 13.—At this
annual fair, the supply of cattle, compared with last year's
show, exhibited a marked improvement, both in quantity
and quality. The fat beasts, sect of which are of the Devon
aad Hereford breed, elicited the sr armtst praise, but the
feeders were very diasatirfisd with the prices obtained for
them. Amongst the store cattle a good baleen was done,
at rather improved prices, partieululy for Scotch and Welsh
eteers, they in many instances making 10s. a head more than
was bid at Reigate fair. Milking and in.calf Cows were not
of very good quality, but found willing buyers at 121. to 141.

side, made 161. each.

DISGBACEPPL OPTRAGIL.--The Nottingham Journal
says " Abut 2 o'clock on Saturday morning the family of
Mr. Joshua liopk neon, of Bond-street, Arnold, were star-
tled from their slumbers by a tremendous explosion. On
running down stairs to see what wu the matter, he found
scarcely a whole pane left in the how* and shop window',
the door and window frames forced out of their place", two
of the doers split, and much other damage done. It ap-
peared, on investigation, that some wicked person bad put
a sort of hand grenade through • hole in the window, and
lighted it by means of a fusee, in revenge for Mr. liopkin-
ton's having declined to become a member of the Framework-
knitters' Union."
SALE OF A WIFIL—The Stockport Mercury tel n
strange tale of a sale which is alleged to have recently taken
place at the New Inn, Norwich End, in the county of
Derby, between Outgo C, agent to a gentleman in the
neighbourhood, and Midis 0., cattle dealer, by the acid G.
offering to sell the ether hie wife, for the sum of 51. le.,
which was the more readily agreed in consequence of
the purchaser being a widower, and very desirous to obtain
so fair • partner for so trifling a sum. After some consulta-
tion it was arranged between them that the prankster should
go to claim his purchase on the following Monday, which he
did accordingly, and on entering the house he made known ,
to Mn.s C. Ole purport of hils visit. The unfortunate wife
gave vent to a Rood of tears at being thus shamefully dile-
' posed of.
