Cram -examined Wane.' fancied that the deceased ap.
Msda good deal better us the 10th of December. If he
aot met the (Lite he should have believed the letter and
the other documents were in the deceased's handwriting. A
will was brought to the deceased by the attorney of Mr.
John Hoe shortly before the 30th, sod the deceased was very
angry, and refused to riga it. He did not recollect whether
there was anything in this will about chequer being yoid.
John Turner, a servant to the deceased, and who had
ktiown him for 30 years, deposed that for two or three weeks
before his death he was confined to one room, and witness
attended own him day and night. Witness remembered
the day on which the codicil was executed, and be was quite
certain that on that day the deceased was in ruche coed:ton
that he could not have written the letter or the cheque
that bad been produced. He was in attendance upon the
deceased the whole day, and was not aware of his having
written such a letter. The eiseessed was in the habit of
maidng a copy before he wrote a letter, and he generally
riled HMIS to write upon.
Crossexamined-7U deceased hail been a grocer and
tax collector, and need to keep he owe books. He talked
better sad breathed better on the day the codicil was
executed than he bad dime for some time before. Witness
was sot cut of the presence of the deceased longer than a
very few minutes during the whole of the 30th of December.
The deceased was unable to walk during the bet week of
his life. Witness never said to any oue that his master
did write a letter a few days before his death, but he did
not kaow what had become of it.

Its-examined—When witness heard that the prisoner
had produoed a letter containing a cheque for 6,000/, per.
rtz to be written a few days before his master'. death,
he was sure be could not have written such •
letter or cheque.
Ik. T. Barrett, a solicitor and town clerk of Macclesfield,
whohad known the deceased forty years, gave similar evi-
dence as to the letter and the cheque not being in his
handwriting.
Cressexamined—Kr. Bracklehurst was the deceased's
attorney at Macclesfield, and also his banker. Witness had
never told an 7 one that he believed the letter and the
cheque were in the handwriting of the deceased. The last
time he saw the deceased write was in 16157. Witoer acted
for Mr. John Orme Roe is ibeChancery suit, and he was
aware that the prisoner was not called upon to undergo an
examination.

Mr. S. W. Johnson, of the firm of Johnson and Conte,
solicitors, Gray's.inn.square and Doctore'roinnions, deposed
that the prisoner was their client in the proceedings in the
Court of Chancery ; and on the 19th of June,
1860, be wrote a letter to Messrs. Brocldehurst
and liaphswe, of Macclesfield, by the direction of the
lagr. The envelope sod the letter and the cheque for
that had been produced were handed to witness by
the prisoner on the 13th of August, 1860. On the 13th of
January in the present year the prisoner was at bis office,
and Mr. Sun, came io, and the prisoner said to him,
" Who are your Witness then asked Mr. Sorry if the
elwas the gentleman for whom his father had made
s:, and he said that he was. The prisoner upon hear
Mg this appeared confounded and surprised, put his
hand to his head, and seemed to be quite thunderstruck.
(The letter referred to was put in, and wasto the effect that
an important letter had been discovered, and that proceed-
inp were intended to be taken upon it.) The witness
went cm to state that directly after the prisoner saw Mr.
Sorry he left his office.
Croe.examined--The prisoner was aware that an order
had been made by the Court of Chancery for the deposit
of the documents at the time that he saw Mr. Murry. The
papers were given to his partner, Mr. Conte, in order that
he might make inquiries as to their genuineness, and it was
upon his report that witness acted in the suit. Mr. Coots
went down spesially to Macclesfield for the purpose of
making these inquiries. Witness had been put to some
expense, and he certainly should not have undertaken the
suit if be had thought there was any doubt about the
genuineness of the cheque and the letter. Mr. Coots was
not subprnaed or examined as a witness for the prosecution.
Witness showed Mr. Hesrtwell Roe the letter, the cheque,
and the envelope on the 3rd of November, and he, and
his attorney who accompanied him, examined them
carefully 6y the means of a powerful lens for a
considerable time. Wither afterwards received some
cheques from Mr. Brocklehunt, and also other papers, and
he comparod them with the letter and the cheque, and they
were also examined and compared by experts, and after
this examination he proceeded with the suit. A clerk from
the General Poetoffice also came to his office, and minutely
examined the envelope and the postage stamp, and after all
this entertained an opinion that the letter and the cheque
were genuine instrument', and he consequently continued
the suit. He did not hear anything about Mr. Surrey or
the making of the dies until the mouth of January in the
present year, but in consequence of what he said witness
abandoned the suit.

Re-examined—lt witness had been aware that the enve-
lope and the postage stamp ware not genuine, it would, of
musk have very materially affected his judgment u to
the handwriting of the letter and the cheque.

- .
Abraham Surrey deposed that he 'amen engraver, and
carried on his business in Fleet-lane, in the City of London.
He was acquainted with a gentleman named Puritan, and
bad been in the habit of receiving orders from him. A short
time before the mouth of June last year he received front
Mr. Parriton several pers, with instructions, and he made
certain stamps according to those instructions. The wa-
nes' then proceeded to describe the kind of stamps that
he made, and there appeared to be no doubt
that in the result a counterfeit Post-office stamp
was made, and the witness expressed his opinion
that the stamp which appeared upon the envelope
containing the cheque had berm made from the
im-
pression of the scamp. It also appeared that the witness
had supplied type letters capable of forming the words
" Macclesfield" and " Bath." The prisoner called upon
him at the beginning of August and mid that be bad been
sent to him by Mr. Parriton, ea the maker of the stamps,
and he wanted • few alterations to be made in them, end
wished witness to devote a few hours to the business, and
he consented to do so. The prisoner then told him that he
must consider that be was working for hint from that time,
and not for Mr. Parriton, and he suggested several
alterations, in order to make the letters in the
stamps or dies correspond with some that he
showed him, marked in • memorandum book. The
prisonercame very frequently to the shop after this, and upon
one occasion the wither asked him for his card, and he gave
him some money and said he supposed that would do as
well. The prisoner afterward' gave the name of Wilde,
and he wrote several letters to the witness, suggesting •
variety of alterations io the stamps, in that name.
Mr. W. Surrey, the sot of the last witness, confirmed the
lesthaesty given by him relating to the prisoner coming to
his shop sad maistag and superintending the nothing of the
eeenterfeit postage stamps. He also proved that he iden-
tified the prisoner at Mr. Johnson's Mike as the pawn who
had ordered the stamps to be made.
Henry Surrey, another son, also spoke to the same facia.
Mrs. Anne Dutton, a person employed at the post-oflice
at Ifeocles6eld, spoke to the course of business at the odice
with regard to the endorsing stamp, and explained that it
was changed at certain penods of the day. The letter A
wee need up to 12 o'clock in the day, the letter B up to 5,
sad the letter C after 5. In January, 1859, the letter B
was lest, and I) was used instead of it, and all letters after
the 3rd of January were stamped with aD. The envelope
produced she said could not have passed through their office
ea the Ist of January, because it bore the initial letter 1),
which was not used until after the 3rd of January.
Mr. John Prior, a clerk in the Bath Post-office, deposed
that he had examined the envelope which purported to beer
the stamp of that office, end he said that it was not a
genuine one.
Mr. James Perriton deposed that he was a stationer, aid
la Jima, 1860, an application wee made tohim upon the sub-
jest of some stamps, and be referred the party to Mr.
Sauey. The stamps, when executed, were to be sent to
Mr. C. J. Wilde, at Cheltenham, and he seat them ae-
cordiegly, and received the letter bow produced from the
primmer, who repreaented himself to be Mr. Wylde, in
refennee to the stamps. After he had sent them to Choi-
teellarn therewith' were returned, sod hereferred the party
to Mr. Surrey. He could not identify the prisoner as the per-
son who gave him the order for the stamps.
George Ward, • porter at the Cheltenham Railway sta-
tion, proved that the prisoner applied to him in July last
to know whether a parcel bad been sent from London for
Mr. Wyble. He told him there was no such parcel, and
the prisoner asked him when it arrived to send it on to the
Gloucester station. A parcel addressed to C. J. Wylie
did arrive shortly afterwards, and witness re-directed it,
and sent it on to Gloucester.

Mr. Joseph Holloway, an engraver and lithographer at
Bath, deposed that he knew the prisoner, and had mai,
idomdly dose business for him. He remembered the pri-
mmer owning to him in the early part of 1859 or 1980,
sad he asked him if he bad any envelopes with the
north country stamp on them. He did not say what he
wanted them for. Witness told bim he had not got any,
but be might be able to procure them from a solicitor in
the town, and the prisoner requested that be would do so.
The witness then identified the letters written in the name
of Wylde as the handwriting of the prisoner.
In cromexamination, this witness said that Le was en-
gaged in lithographing a work for the prisoner, and after he
left College-green, Gloucester, where he had resided, he
used to send him parcels containing the back Damien, and
upon some occasions be had sent letters in the parcels.
Mr. Whither, the inspector of the detective police, proved
that he had a warrant placed in his baud for the appreben-
moo of the prisoner on the 9th of May, but he could not
find him until the 20th, when be met him in Hatton-
and asked him if he was not the Reverend James
The prisoner made no reply, and he then told him hs
was a police officer, and again inquired whether he wee not
Mr. Roe, and the prisoner then said he should decline to
answer the question.
Mr. George Heartwell Roe deposed that he was the acting
executor and one of the residuary legatees under the will of
his uncle, and that at the time of his death there were only
1,89 W. at his banker's to meet the supposed cheque for
6,000/.
Some documentary evidence was then put in, sad this
closed the case for the prosecution, and the trial was ad-
journed, the jury, as usual in cases of felony, being taken to
the London Coffee-hone° in the charge of the officers of the
court

NEW COURT.
(Beton the Common serjeant.)

Thomas Stanford, 45, who was triad mid acquitted on
Tuesday, upon a charge of embezzling nmeeys belonging to
the South Western Hallway Company, was yesterday again
tried upon another indictment, which charged him with

obtaining the sum of 211. by false pretences. with intent to
defraud the same company.
Be:joint Ballantine was again specially retained with
Mr. Lilley and Mr. Woollett, to conduct the prosecution ;
the prisoner was defended, as on the previous day, by Mr.
Ribton and Mr. Orridge.
The facts of this wee were pretty much the same as those
deposed to on the previous day, and it wee, clearly estab-
lished that he had obtained the sum mentioned by falsely
pretending that be was entitled to receive it, when he had
no such authority.
The jory returned a verdict of Gill% and the prisoner
was sentenced to twelve months' hard labour.

The trial of 11,,trrt Turner 1;7 another clerk in the
service of the company, for embezzlement, wee postponed to

upstairs room, and after searching various plates I found
63 letters, all in Indian, which I took on of. I
said, " Where is the money I" He rep " I have some,
and I have expended some." I said, "I must have all you
have left." He then produced from • drawer which be
unlocked 16 one hundred pound Beak of England not.., I

other three 1001. notes ; he said he had expended them in a
manner Miss Johmtone knew, and added, " We were about
to be married." He again said, " I don't understand the
charge—l committed no fraud—l never gave the lady • par.
cel at all, on my honour as • gentleman." I said, "let
me understand clearly, do you deny giving her a parcel on
the day you received the 1,9001. ?" He said in answer, " I
solemnly declare I gave her nothing that day ; I received
the 1,9001. from her on condition that I should return the
letters, but she promised to do something more for me
which I shall not tell you, and then I should have re-
turned her letters." I then took him into custody, and
brought him directly to the station.
By Mr. Lewis—The notes were in the parcel, which I now
produce. He had heard the lady was indisposed. Would
be ready with evidence next week.
Mr. 'Mansfield —The lady's evidence, given by he self, I
have in • deposition sworn before me at this court. I shall
remand the case till next Monday.

18, Edward's-place.
Ellen ADis, a young woman, and she was walking up the
court, when she hmid loud screams of " Murder" proceed-
ing from No. 18, and on Going there she saw the prisoner
striking Flinn, who lived in the same house, heavily on the
head with a tin teapot, which cut her head in a frightful
manner, and from which blood was (lowing profusely. Pri-
soner swore she would do for her, and gave her such a
desperate blow as to fell her to the ground insensible.
Prisoner then jumped upon Flinn's stomach three times,
the latter being very far advanced in pregnancy. She then
knelt on her, and caught hold of her hair, which she pulled
in a brutal manner. Witness then, in company with two
men and a female, rushed in and had great difficulty in
getting the prisoner from off the woman. They then lifted
her up, but she appearing as though dead, they conveyed
her to the hospital, where she now lies.

Mary Flinn last night sod Main that morning. She was in
a very dangerous state.
