Had expressed surprise that the testator should not have
left the defendant a rum of money at ones, but had never
done so to the testator. The testator did not show any
restlessness during the mailing of the service.
Yr. Morris, clerk to the magistrates in Olamorganshire,
that the testator sat three times in petty sessions
wring the year 18.41. Oo the last occasion, Zed of
November, there was an affiliation case, and the testator
differed from the only other magistrate present as to whether
there was evidence on which to make an order. The order
was. however, ultimately made, and the attorney of the
putative father afterwards said it was right. Had not seen
the testator afterwards.

Mdlle. Marie Dina/Inch had known the testator 22 years.
Went to Coedriglan on a visit on the 6th of December, 1850,
and remain xi there till the 14th of March. In December
he expressed himself very much hurt at their having said
he was out of his mind, without specifying soy one. On
another occasion he repeated the same remark, and said,
"0 those ungrateful people!" Youug Mr. Sandersoncame
to Coedriglan just before Christmas, and stayed till the end
of the year. Mr. Traherne said he was a very nice young man,
and that he was very food of him—that he was his godson,
and that he would certainly provide for him. After Mr. San-
derson had left, Mr. Traherne repeated the same observation
to witness. Was not present at the execution of the will ;
but immediately afterwards the testator came into the
dining room, and said to witness, " I have signed my will,"
and expressed his thankfulness to the Rey. Mr. Nicholls for
having come over to witness it. The day before his death
the testator referred to a picture which he said he had
bought to present to Lady Bute, but as that lady had died
be thought he should give it to the young marquis. During
witases's visit he seemed quite able to transact business.
Cress-axamined--Was an intimate friend of Mrs. Tre-
bles,. About four years had elapsed since witnese's last
visit to lan. The demand was feeble, but not very
feeble, just before his death. He used to move about the
house.

James Bone, term bailiff of the deceased, used to take
his meeter an account every fortnight, and receive a cheque
for the money. Settled with him last on the 27th of
January, 1860, ten days before his death. He seemed then
quite able to transact business.

Crassoxamined--Knew Murrill, the gardener. At first
whame used to nettle with him. Could not say whether
witness actually saw the testator after Christmas. Used to
deliver his bill at the house and get the cheque.
John Reece had been butler in the family 16 Jean. His
master had been delicate in health all that period, and at
times he required a great deal of attention. He was, how-
ever, perfectly competent to transact business—as much so
as be (witness) wan at that moment. (Laughter.)
Cross-examined—Tr e testator only had headaches. Never
told the head waiter at the Albemarle, where he stayed in
London, that hi. master had had a fit. There was a coach.
MU, named Lowe, who drove the deceased in Loudon. In
ism witness said to Lowe, when hie master was going to
Dr. Ferguson'., " I suppose he is going there to have advice
for his sick headaches." Did not remember testator's
temple being hurt by a fall. He used to have prayers in
the evening. Never observed anything unusual in ins con-
duct at prayers ; nor did be ever send witness away on any
strand at such times. Never knew of his quitting the room
and scokling a maid for leaving a candle in the kitchen.
Never observed him to have fib of passion. He never rung
for witness and then said he did sot remember what he wanted.
Witness had neversaid tootle of the servants, in reference to
his master's conduct at prayers, "It's like a play." In
October Mr. Traherne sent a letter to his nephew declining
to see him, and requesting him to leave Tenby by the coach
which went at ten that maiming. Did not take any verbal
message with the note. Did not say, "I am sorry, sir, to
have to bring you such a message." The testator wu not
at all excited when he gave witness the letter.
Re-examined—Testator would always be instantly obeyed,
or he would let his servants know. (Laughter.)
The case for the plaintiffs was still proceeding when the
Donn rage. _

THE POLICE__ COURTS.
BOW-STREET.
Mohammud Ali Khan, a native of Joonaghur, in the pre-
sidency of Bombay, was brought up on a charge of attempt-
ing to oommit suicide.
M. Syed Abdoollah, professor of Hindustani, University
College, London, was sworn to Interpret.
The prisoner, it will he remembered, is tha man who cut
his throat in the House of Lords some months since, and
the other day during the Queen's procession to open parlia-
ment.

After the evidence of the constables,
Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Marsh Hughes said—l am
honorary secretary to the Strangers Home for Orientals at
Limehouse. I have known the prisoner about five years.
I speak his language. He was formerly a dependent of the
Nawab of Joonaghur, an independent prince or chieftain in
the province of Kattiawar, presidency of Bombay. I saw
him in prison in October last at the Houserof Correction in
Coldbath-fields, and invited him to come, at the expiration
of his imprisonment, to the Home. I believe he was re-
leased on the 16th October, and on the 18th he came there.
After talking the matter over with him several times I
was told by the prisoner that "if he did not
get justice from Sir C. Wood, he would cut his throat in his
(Sir C. Wood's) presence, and throw the petition over his
bead." In consequence of this threat I applied for and ob-
tained a warrant against him at the Thames Police Court,
and he was brought before Mr. Selfe on the lit of November.
He then promised that he would remain in the Home, that
he would not go to the India-house again, or make any re.
newed attempt on his life. He remained there for about •
month when he went away, and stated that I had given him
mAuif to eat. This was not true. No pork is allowed to be
ht into the Home, and the pereons who cook the food
are abomedaris. Rather than be should have anything
to find fault with, money wee given him to go and buy Jewish
meat for himself ; and this be accepted. During a portion
of the time he was under the are of Dr. Ccoder, who
ordered him sago and arrowroot. This was supplied
to him, and in everything his prejudices wire
consulted. On Christmassiay it is usual to give them
an English dinner, roast beef and plum pudding.
AU the articles are purchased and cooked by Mahomedioui.
All this was done as usual last Christmas-day, and the in-
mates were all well pleased, except the prisoner, who said
he must have some fish. Some fish was provided for him.
After dinner some tobacco was given to them, at which,
again, all seemed pleased but Mohamud Ali Khan, who
was very angry. He left immediately after, and I have not
seen him since. He might have remained in the Home if
he had chosen ; and I have authority from the Secretarysof
State for India to send him home any time he may choose
to
_go.
Mr. Henry—Have you any reason to suppose that be is
insane, or that he labours under any delusions ?
Colonel Hughes—My own impression is that be is sane,
except oa the one point that he has worked himself up to
believe that he has a claim on the government, wherein'
he has wee whatever, either against the company or against
the load government.
The petition found on the prisoner contained a long state-
ment el his grievances against the court of Joonaghur, and
especially the minister Minh., who, he said, had die.
missed bim without a pension to which he was entitled,
and otherwise injured and persecuted him for refusing to
poison the Nawab. He also complained of the British resi-
dent for protecting and abetting Asaghe, and demanded
that the Post India Company or her Majesty the Queen
should enforce his claim.

The prisoner made a long statement, which was translated
by H. Syed Abdo°Bah, to the following effect :—" I am
not mad. I never drink wine or spirits, and I have • very
good bead. I want my rights which are set forth in that
petition. The East India Company have Instructed Colonel
Hughes and the other gentlemen who are with him to send
me off to India, but till 1 get my rights I will not go if it
is not till the day of judgment. Colonel Hughes hoaxed
me and took me to the Home ; and gave orders to the door-
keeper not to let me out. The company have acted doubly
to MO, and to die is just. What am Ito do, where am Ito
go . Colonel Hughes brought me before • magistrate, but
be was a sensible man, and would not listen to the com-
plaint. I hope the government and the court will take a
merciful view of my case, and when I obtain my just
rights I will go back to Indis. I ask that Anaghe may
be dismissed, and that I may be sent home in honour and
comfort, protected by the company against the powerful
friends of Anaghe. lam a prince, and what I have done
was done in honour. If I cannot have my rights, I had
better die ;" with much more to the same effect.

Mr. Henry said the risoner,i;;;;;l;eeniried once be-
fore fora similar act, knew that it we. on offence against
the law of England. It would be umeless to deal with the
or.. here. Ile must go for trial at the Old Bailey.
The primmer—l am ready.
He was committed for trial.
