In the ordinary course of business
I applied to Lord
Clolvill I
for payment, and re
raved
.e letter back through
the dead-letter office. tl Len wer
t to the house and saw
a placard written in large letters: . and affixed to the jamb
of the door—" All letters for 7
..4ord Colvill to be sent to
Edinburgh." I asked th' 3 ne7 it-door neighbours if they
knew anything about Lo rd C clvill, and they said " Yes,
they knew a great deals ;boo t him ;he had gone away
and taken three van lea ds c,f goods from the house."
Sir Peter Laurie—I am in hopes that, through the
police, more property will be found out.
Hopley—l ferreted °al.; where the goods were taken
to. One safe was deli eel ed at Neatsfoot-street, Camber.
well, and the man wb o d elivered it signed himself " Wil-
liam Radley, agent t( , Lord Colvill." The other safe I
found to be deposited I with a Frenchman under one of
the railway arches of the South-Western Railway, in
Mill-street, Lambetl
Lord Colvill—l o ever gave him authority to get them
and I never had the m. I charge him with forging my
name and obtaining goods by false pretences.
Mr. Martin—Ho pley had better be sworn, then, as a
witness;
Sir Peter Laurie —Your evidence is very short. It is
merely that you wt Ire fool enough to send the goods
without due e.eutio n.
Hopley, haviog been sworn, said—l am manager to
Mr. Wrn. Milner, who carries on business at 47 A,
Moorgate-street, g nder the name of Thomas Milner and
Son. I received It hese three letters purporting to come
from Lord Colvill, I acted upon them, and sent safes,
&c., to the amount ;of 411. 6s. 6d. I did not know either
the prisoner or Lo.'.
Colvill. If I bad seen them I would
not have trusted th am with the safes. I sent the goods,
believing the letter' ; came from the real Lord Colville.
I have not seen the Articles since.
Sir Peter Laurie- -The publicity that will be given to
L this will no doubt ca use some more of the property to
be found.
Hopley—l have see m the prisoner with the person pre-
sent who calla himself Lord Colvill, walking together,
but it is now several m onths since. At the trial that took
place at the Mansion-b ouse Lord Colvill was charged
with stealing a coat and a horse-cloth„ and I was called
upon there, as it was ki town that w-s had supplied him
with goods, to see if I .ould substantiate any charge
against him ; but this cas e was not e ntered into. On that
occasion the charge was d ismissed.
In reply to questions In )rn Mr. 7 Vfartin, Lord Colvill
said—The letters were n o t write en by me. I know
nothing about them. The e nvelopt s has my crest. Do
not know how prisoner go t it. . Iy crest is not here;
it is a long way off. I di:1;1' not s ,uthorise him to get
a seal made for me. I never lived at 10, Grove-
bill-terrace ; I live at No. 2, llgic die-street, Commer-
cial-road, Peckham. Lived th,. Iro when I was charged
at the Mansion-house, and gave. t that address. The
house in Grove-lane was taken ; n my name, and
with my consent. I took some pic tt tres there soon after
it was taken ; got them from Mr. Sin imons, of Woking .
I paid for them. They are now sole Do not think the
rent of the house in Grove-lane was 1 >aid. That is the
power of attorney (produced) I gave 1 tadley.
Sir Pater Laurie (to prisoner)—l Eit ould like to know
something about you and Colviil.
Radley—l am a respectable man, s aid get my living
by working a small steam-engine anCf. apparatus for ex-
trEctin,g wool from woollen and cotton rags, on princi-
ples of my own. I earn about 465. pen week, and some-
times as much as 51. per week. The.t man Colvill had
nearly ruined me, for he has had from xi to above 8001. I
was told that if I kept his company I should get into
trouble, but I did not believe it then. Ido believe it
now.
S,r Peter Laurie—Officer, have you re ade any inquiry
about that man !
Russell—l have not, Sir Peter. Ihs ve not had him
in custody half an hour.
Radley—lf you will let the officer go • with me I will
show him my premises.
Sir Peter Laurie—l should like bim •to go and see
them, and see if your statement is corre 3t. I will re-
mand you until Saturday, and will then at tend here my-
self, for I should like to pursue this inquu y. From your
statement I think you are a respectable m; In, but by Sa-
turday I shall know something about y; Iu and Lord
Colvill.
The prisoner was then remanded until $. 'aturday, but
Sir Peter Laurie admitted him to bail, h'ea itself in 401.,
and his solicitor in 201.

Navarino arrived at Southampton on Sunday. She rode
