ifter:oii:aiVetia.77o;a;t;iii;.;;;;;;Fproceed•ng it was
speed that evidence should be given wi respect to the
goods which had been placed in Kent-street and thence
transferred to Reigate. (The particulars were fully detailed in
our paper of Wednesday teat.)
Alfred Mandeville said that he lived In Kent-atreel
ls,
andlii that his Weiner was that of •ad maker, and
thare'immonds, with whom he bad been soquainted for
seven or eight years, C4OlB to him It November last and ra-
gweed that he would oblige him by tads, charge of some
Maiawhich he consented to d do, sad they were delivered to
'ca his premises. A carman shortly afterwards brought
some goods to him in a van, and be believed that the
sold van wee aocompealed by Samuel Meths and
Sinuncads. He imagined that some of the caws
contained, from their formation, pianofortes, and other
cretin in his opinion, contained something light.
Nand Maim told him that he bad Ft:clued the goods
from a person who wee in want of money, and that he would
require him to keep them for six months, as he did not wish
to lead them to the market immediately. There were about
=packages delivered to him. In Anglia lost Samuel
called on him *pia in Kent-street; it wee, he ho-
lland, on a Friday ; and stated that he intended to fetch
away his things on the following Monday. On the latter
day, he (Marts) did call, and engaged him (wither) to take
away the goods in his vane, as stated by the witness Molloy,
who was examined on the premises Tuesday. Some officers
from the Court of Bankruptcy came and examined his pre-
mime to discover if any of the bankrupt's property was them;
but they found none. Some days afterwards Samuel Marks
celled on him and stated he was sorry that be had been incon-
venienced by the calling of the officers from the court alluded
to, and that he would willingly remunerate him. He
(Marks) added that it would be his ruin if the goods were
ao he bad paid for them.
George Freeman, receiving clerk at the Bricklayers' Arms
Staffs at the Southlastern Railway, said that he received
• large number of packages from Samuel Marks about the
16th July last, and be remembered that at the latter date he
was theructed by one or other of the parties to forward the
rtesato Reigate Station, and that by their direction he d-
ame cardaich he placed on the back of the cam,
to " Mr. Fordick, te."
Mr. Bennett Fordi was called, and proved that he re-
wind the goods in question at Reigate by request of Sim-
mons. He placed them in • barn, not having accommoda-
tion for them in his house. Simmons subsequently removed
then. He (witnees) could not undertake to swear what the
packages contained. There was • large number of them, end
=my were very bulky.
The additional endows was in a great measure corrobora-
tire tithe preceding testimony.
Alter some further proceedings Mr. Poland said that be
hit called upon on the part of the prosecution to request that
the magistrate would not allow Samuel Marks and Sim-
:sonde to be again admitted to bail, and be grounded his
application upon the additional evidence of so strongly erimi-
eatery • nature that had been adduced.
Mr. Sleigh contended that his clients having already
attended on previous occasions were entitled to be allowed to
renew their bail.

Broughton, having carefully reviewed the we end
paid the most pszticular attention to the evidence throttgb-
out, did not feel himself juetitted in seceding to the request
of the learned eminent Mr. Sleigh, the offence being of • most
grave and serious nature.
The prisoners were all remanded till Tuesday neat.
