This mote affords snow proof of the Material facts of this
can : the crime of the Bishop ; We consciousness of that crime,
and of his then alarming situation ; and his anxiety to eon's
his name and high station Daring the remainder of this un-
happy night, this lost and degraded elan was intent upon sad
.gaged w prayer. Those prayers were sneers sod contrite,
and were, it is hoped, graciously heard sod reerised. Ilia sup-
plications end ejacelatiose throughoet the night were loud aid
uneasiog, He was viaited oconionally by Latchford, in the
cell, rod was found et ell such times spoil his knees, and in
a pos.ore of devout prayer and devotion. After the removal
of the Bishop to his cell. Latchford took up sod collected the
fragments or pieces of torn paper. He joined or pasted
them together, so as to make the paper writing in itself per
feet sad legible. He preserved it carefully, and also the sots
which bed been writhes by the Bishop, and retained both of
them until the occasion on which they were afterwards shewn
to the Bishop, sod beenfter particularly mentiosied.—
In the forenoon of the following dry, (the 910tb of July.) the
Bishop was removed ie custody to the Police OBoe of the die.
trict of St. James's Westminster, in which district be had been
guilty of and charged with these °fences. Soon after his ar-
rival there, he was brought before Mr. Dyer, the Sitting Ma-
gistrate, and one of the Justices of the Peace for the minty
of Middlesex. In the presence and hearing of the Bishop and
soldier, the several persons who had charged them with their
otlenees, were severally, sad apart, end upon their oaths es-
'mined. It was yips vacs examination. The Bishop was theft
professionally assisted. They deposed to Rod detailed the same
facts against him which they had slated in the wetcb.bouse,
and are now is their sworn evidence in din CSO/Kt. The Bishop
did not contradict or deny the truth of these charges. He was
then informed by the magistrate that his offence *urns :mitable,
and that bail to the amount of live hundred pounds bisiself, end
two sureties in SSW. each, would be required for his appear-
ance at the next Clerkenwell Sessions, to take his trial for the
°Fames then imputed to end sworn against His bail were
in attendance. He was dna called on by Mr. Fite.mtrisk, as
Chief Clerk of the Office, and in order to perfect his bail, to
give him his name itial address. The Bishop hesitated, sad for
a time refused. lie was then informed, eod in the presieedeard
hearing of his intended badman, that it was necessary for him
to give his true name and eddress ; and that without it his bail
could not be effected, or himself discharged. He then of him-
self. and in the presence and hearing of the magistrate. hie
clerk, and Latehford, freely end voluntarily did ante and de-
clare, and for the first time gave them to know that he was tbe
Honourable and Right Reverend Percy Jocelyn, Bishop of
Clogher, in Ireland, sod that he wee thee residing or lodged
at SI. Montague-street, Portman-square, the hoese to which
his note of the preendiag night had bees directed. His bail
were then, and in his preienoe and beano', duly sworn to their
qualifications, their names, and residences; and wee of them,
Mr. John Fay, sworn and qualified as the proprietor of the
house, No. 111, Montague-street, in which the Bishop bed pre-
viously, in his presence and bearing, declared he was a lodger.
The bail was then perfected according to the nurse of the
office, and the Bishop was aceeralingly discharged, end retired.
These facts are fully detailed io the evidence of Fitzpatrick
and Latchford ; and Fitzpatrick lies confirmed hie testimony.
The Clerkenwell Sessions commenced on the 9th of Septem-
ber lost. That fact is alleged in the pleading and proof ; it is
also alleged that the Bishop did not attend to take his trial at
those Sessions, pursuant to his retognizance.. That was ant •
nenessary proof for the office, or to sustain its case. Lut
it was alleged by way of challenge, and to this hour it remain
uncontredicted and unexplained.

to which we have uo certain information.
By an Act passed in the last session of Parliament,
the sufferers by the acts of incendiaries have a sum-
mary of means afforded them of recovering damages
for the injury so ~ereived by them, where the atnonnt

the more circuitous and expensive mode of obtainit:g
it by an action at law. The mode pointed out Ly
the act is, for the parties to give nottee to the chief
officer of the district where the loss is sustained,
who is directed thereupon to summon the local
magistrate to hold a petty sessions, they having a. •
