Meihsatmedea Memashood.Doeti crow eumbed by Mr.
Matters—l wee framerly heed of the Peasiaa department
with the GoveraorGenseal at Calcutta. I that to 1842
or 1843. I left because the chief secretary bad some dash'
la his mind tied discharged me. Soma worsts wen made
nubile, and be wee reepominie for the °®a.
Mr. Chambers—Were you accused of beersylag Rae&
I sateen to the Kiag of Oade
Wftneas—There we. a letter, but it did net commis say
Norm of any importance. I was not charged with doing it.

the Prince. and I came over here we did not bring with
as as much as 100,0001. There wee nearly 70,0001. when
we left India. At ermards some more came, nearly 10,0001.
That was before the Queen died. That money had been very
nearly ail spent before the Queend.ed. There were many
jewels, but I cannot ray how much they were worth. They
were worth more than 10 kaos. Many of the jewels were lost I
in the Red Sea, and others were retuned to the Prince.
Now wen given away as presents. Major Bird acted for no
here. I took Major Bird with me to assist me. I have not
paid him auythins yet. Perhaps he got some money Ran
the King to iodic not so touch as 15,0001. He perhaps got
10,0001. Major Bird has not yet ceased to assist us.
I came as minister of the King, for the par-
pees of °braining the restoration of the
of Coeds, or pecuniary ouipeneenras. Mr. Chard
was recommended to me by the Nawab of Sand. He wild,
"He is very active, end Can waist you." I did not take
him when he was recommended—net immedialely. I wee
not no term. of elves tenancy with Mr. Chord been the time
▪ the introduction. I visited him like striae& end M Galled
at my house. It wan not until Eleptemlim, 1888, that the
meet oortinentral relations existed betimes se. la Sep
ember, 1658, I SIRS diatreased in eeasgmms of net having
weird the expected remittances from Idia At the'time
I bad quarrelled with the Prince. I lammed the King of
it, and asked him to deride. The King send& misdate =-
peening diasatiefectiou with what the Priees bad dose it:s-
words me. This came about Datembsr. Mr. Chard hare-
dared me to Mr. Roy. I might have said we had spat merest
deal of money. I said that every Riegiliiiman we saw
wanted matey. (Laughter.) Might have mid that we
spent money la getting a book written sad inewling articles
to newspeirrs. MIA' hive mid that the MKsa had taken
away all toe mosey that was left. I might here mid that I
wee the only recognised agent in this esenney of the Lag.
Might have said that I expected a neeftemes, hat I did not
ay that I expected 10,000/. I swear !did net say that. I
wasted money for the expenses of the ere, bat I wanted
money for toy personal expellees. I don't nmillsot that Mr.
Roy said it would be difficult to mire teener. I don't recol-
lect saying. " I like pleasure, Chard likes ' hake
pleastura, and leave the business to him." I did not say
anything like that. Mr. Chard did say hi my me-
moos that I would give my tall for • lams.l might
have said I wanted Soul. I don't recollect Mr. Ray saying
that there would be difficulty In matting the yams, from a
beaker. Until the time of thee. transactional did not haw
what • bill of exchange was. I don't melba having hosed
of a hill of exchange before. No action was teenght againet
me on a bill of exchange when Mr. Angell wee my solicitor.
I know • person named Baxell, a size* merchant.
Mr. Chambers—Did you Owe him a bill of exchange
Witness—l gave Mai a'• tumuessit." I did not pay at
once, and the document I signed was to pay in three soothe.
(A laugh) Ido not recollect signing three tataumaks I.
August to raise money. I gave Mr. Angell locos shares to
✓aise mousy, bat I do not recollect gl hiss
three nf bills of exchasee. Ido not moollecit to
Mr. Roy about the King of Oude and tha Begun, seed
that he was entitled so have many wives, sad could
not be bound by the ems of one of them. When I asked
what the stamps wars I gnaw that a stamp was required for
everything. A stamp fa required on a tarameak. 1 oar.
Minty de not recollect Mr. Roy saying at Mr. Heastine a at
Sunbury, that a client of his was about loading mow) on
aoceptancee of mine. It did not occur. He did sot my
that the money was to ha raised on terms proposed by Mr.
Chard for the purposes of the embassy. He did not oak me
to acknowledge my acceptance. He did not put this bill
into my hand. I did not take It from the table where it
was lying. It is ell untrue. Mr. Roy did not say that the
gentleman who was going to advance the money had
travelled in the Kist, and was sem:mimed with the kingdom
of Gale. It it all untrue. I recollect going to church with
Mr. Roy. Oa that Sunday nothing of the kind oommed.
My mouth* in saying that I was not familiar with a bill of
exchange was that I was not familiar with the law of bills
of exchange. In India a tumuesak Is not valid cakes the
signature le witnessed. I attended consult•tiose twice with
Sir Fitzroy Keliy on the King's affairs, and Mr. Rey wee
there come, but I said I die sot want him there. I saw Mr.
Lloyd with Sir F. Kelly. Their advice was to bring the
matter before parliament, but I said I could not do so whilst
his Majesty was under surveillance. Mr. Chard premed ma
to peeper* a case for parliament. The Secretary of State
for India (Lord Stanley) promised me to release the Klog from
moveillasoe. Sir F. Kelly offered to any time I wanted.
MOWS. Gregory sod Skirrow introduced me to Sir F. Kelly.
I think about 4,0001. was paid to them for their seivicee
throughout the whole effete. Mr. Angell got somethiag
from the fund in court, and I paid him 6401. The King of
Oude was released after I hod signed some letters which Mr.
Chard brought me ; but the velum was not the result of
those letters. Lord Stanley could release the King without
any written appication. I gave Mr. Chard no security far
the 6001. which he advanced me. . .

11;:aismined—Mr. Chard did no work in Introducing me
to Lord Stanley and Sir F. Kelly. Lord Stanley himself
add me personally that the King should be released. Mr.
Chard mover wrote any books. Although a stringer, I think
I mold write better than he. (Laughter.) Mr. Chard did
not write anything for the newspapers. There were eight or
tan gentlemen acquainted with the letter, which was sent
yto Locket-tie from Calcutta; but it was said that
usureri department suspicion was enough. My father sad
grandfather were also in the service of the English
govasessat.

Mr. Dollaad-1 am an optician, and have vary powerful
elapses with me. (Altar having examined the &humid)-
1 should say the body of the bill was written over the signa-
ture. It le a very difficult thing to detect, but that is the
best of my judgment. I cannot say whether the body of the
bill and the acceptance were written at Odense times. (The
I,OOW. bill drawn by Lord Forth was handed to wither..) I
think the acceptance way written before the body of the bill.
Mr. Buntand—l mu a member of the Stock Exchange. I
produce
too bill for 1,0001., drawn by Lord Furth and me-
by him end Chad. Mr. Chard gave me the bill
three or tour months ago for a debt in reference so trainee-
. Sone on the Stock Exchange. Mr. Chard said. "If you go
to Mr. Roy be will give you every satisisetion in reference to
three bilis." Ii d sot go to Mr. Roy. I new Mr. Chard
fortnight or three weeks ego at my office in Cornbill. Mr.
Charities brought Lord Forth to my office. I had so other
knowledge of Lord Forth.
Crass-examined—Mr. Chard owed me close upon 1,0001.
when he gave me the bill.
Re.ezeminad-1 had never known Chard in any em-
ployment.
This was the defendant's case.
Mr. Chyrobers submitted that there was no evidence in

The Lord Chief J noun said be thought there was no evi-
dence up to the present time, bat he should retain the plea
on the record until the sod of the case. _

Mr. Chambers then addressed the jury, and said that
hitherto be wee not surpriaed that they might, perhaps, ham
adopted erroneous views as to this case, for Mr. James had
studiously avoided the real question which they would have
to try. Ilia learned friend had gone out of hie way to attack
Mr. ()Airy, but there was no doubt that Mr. Oakley had
given 6,0001. for the bill; so that one great difilmtlty wahz
over. His friend had represented that Mr.
had been connected with the turf, and that he
was not in good circumstances In coneequenee;
but the truth was that Mr. Oakley had never
hod any connection with the turf, and so far from being in
bad CirrilMetlates be had at the time when he wee collet on
to maim the einbamy of the King cf Ode by advancing
6,0001, a balsam exceeding that sum in hie bankers' beads.
It wee not true that the blamer of the Rolls had ordered
them procesdinp, foe all that ha bad date was to refuse to
snake an order for the restoration of the bill, or to Mane en
Injunction, and the present plaintiff was allowed to go on
teeth theection. The leagued counael having analysed the
plaint iff's evidence, defended Mr Roy from the various asser-
tions made again., hint, malted that he ohnuld tall Mr. Roy a.
