MARKET IN T LLI GEN CE.
(From the London New Price Current, Aug. 13.)
SUGAR.—To-day a good demand was experienced for
West India Sugar; yet grocers and refiners were enabled
to purchase at priees equal to those of Fiiday last. Ope-
rations are 803 bhds, Bcc., including at auction 55 hhd3,
18 trs, and 143 brls Barbadoes, which went at full rates;
brown at 30i to 31s, and low to mid yellow 31a 6d to
343 6d; 25 brls St. Kitts, fair brown 315 to 31a 6d per
cwt.
REFINED.—To-day large parcels of R4ined Sugar
were taken for home co:Amp-ion, still there are sellers
of brown lumps at 443 to 44s 6d, and low to fine grocery
at 44s 61 to 463 61 per cwt. Crushed Sugar met with
bolo attention fur shipping, and easier rates are accepted.
ManarTrus.—This afternoon there was no public sale
of Mauritius Sugar, but privat, ly several parcels were
dispo.ed of at full rates. Public sales will take place
next week.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon several purchases were
m...de privately in Bengal and Madras Sugar, yet no ad-
vance was established. At auction 700 bags of the
former sold at 39s for fine grainy yellow.
FOREIGN.—To-day opera, ions were unimportant in
Foreign Sugar, still duly paid parcels or floating cargoes
wei.e not to be obtained under previous rates. At auction
90 hhcls and 40 brls St. Croix were sold, fine yellow at
403 to 42s 6d, and ord to good 353 61 t0;,383 6d per owt.
MOLASSES.—OI West bola only small parcels were
tii,po,ed of, and supply is on the increase. Prices for
An.igua and Barbadoes rule at 143 to 15s, St. Kitts and
Lucia 12s to 133 6d. In Bengal and Mauritius pur-
chases have been trifling at 126 to 123 63, Porto Rico and
Cuba 14s 6d to 15s 63. Tamarinds less in request,
and more desire is evinced to sell West India at 243 to
409, East India 7s to 12s, bat supply is not more plenti-
ful. For Honey there is yet several buyers, Jamaica at
35s to 40s, Cuba 32s to 40$, and Narbonne 50s to 60s
per cwt.
Cocoa.—The demand does not improve for West
India, and previous rates are barely sustained. There
are sellers of Trinidad, grey 28s to 325, low middling
red 32s 6d to 355, good to fine 363 to 403, and Gre-
nada sold at 26s 6d to 36s per cwt. In Foreign sales
have been small, and a desire is evinced to sell Bahia
and Para at 25s to 263, and Guayaquil at 30s to 31s
per cwt. Stock is still rather smaller than it was last
season.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was no improvement
in the demand for Native Ceylon by private treaty. At
auction the sound of 1,000 bags was taken in at 45s for
very good ord, damaged selling at 40s to 42a 6d. There
is a quiet market for Plantation, but the currency is
maintained. At public sale 48 casks 19 barrels and 39
bags were sold at 503 to 53s for fine to fine fine ord,
ord and good ord 47s to 495. Mocha is in greater de-
mand, and rates are well kept up. A public sale of
750 half-bales went at 76s to 78s for mid to good clean
garbled. . _ _

THE COMMON LAW BAR.
Before the commencement of Michaelmas Term
next, nearly a hundred barristers, hitherto enjoying a
moderate share of practice, will have been com-
pletely removed from the opportunity of competition
with their forensic brethren. We allude to the
judges of the county courts throughout England
and-Wales, who, up to the the present moment, have
not been disqualifisd, through their judicial position,
from active practice at the bar. Under the Act,
however, just passed, regulating the practice of county
courts, it is no longer competent fbr any judge of
those courts to act as a barrister or special pleader. or
to be concerned, either directly or indirectly, as a con
veyancer, seilicitor, attorney, cr notary. Many of the
judges of the county courts have long ago voluntarily
retired from practice at the bar, while not a few have
still continued in the strife. The recent changes in
the profession—chiely arising from the extension of
the powers of those tribunals—are known to have re-
duced, in numerous cases, incomes of from 2,000/. to
2,500/. per annum to less than 1,0001. per annum ;
and many gentlemen of considerable professional
name have in consequence become not only ambitious
of the position of county court judge, but have even
been thoroughly reconciled to the rule which debars
them fur ever from practice at the bar. Not-
withstanding the immense number of members of
the bar, amounting to about 2,000, the average
number of practising barristers, or barristers laying
themselves out for practice, at the common-law bar,
for the last ten years, has been about 300, upwards of
five-sixths of whom are located within the precincts of
the Temple. Granting that only one-half the number
of county-court judges have continued till the present
moment in active practice, and supposing that, on an
average, they did not earn each more than 2001. per
annum, some slight benefit must necessarily arise
from the recent change to those who have hitherto
been obliged to compete with them. Of the 300, ac
least 150 never behold the face of attorney or client,
or only on occasions " few and far between," so that
in reality there age only about 150, who actually en-
joy practice. Of tibia number of 150, there are about 80
wnose only earnings arc derived from the defence
of prisoners, either on circuit, or at provincial ses-
sions, or at the Central Criminal Court, and not
from their skill in the law of nisi prius, or law proper,
as displayed in the Nisi Prius Court on circuit, or
in the courts of Westminster Hall; 40, again, may
he said to possess practice embracing both the
defence of prisoners and cases at nisi prius ; and
this number, added to the previous 80, makes
120 who are in the enjoyment of very small
practices, averaging from 100/. to 6001. per
annum. The great prizes of the profession, arising
from the great bulk of business of the most profitable
kind, fall into the hands of about twenty men ; and
these are the names
daily seen in the newspaper law
reports. Of these twenty, again,only about ten or
twelve are in leading—that i 3, first-rate practice ;
whits the remaining eignt or ten are only second
raters. Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Sir Frederick Thesiger,
Sir Alexander Cockburn may be regarded as the
most prominent of the former; but it would be invi-
dious to mention any other name of Ike number as
entitled to greater prominence than their fellows.—

SPlRlTS.—Demerara Rata cannot be obtained at a fur-
ther reduction, still supply is not smaller, and operations

there is not the least improvement. Superior marks 35

NORTHERN ClRCUlT—Liverpool, Aug. 13.
The High Sheriff of this ceeety is a itetnan Catholie,
and yesterday, in his charge to the grand jury; Lord
Cleephell alluded to Oat feet. attd !o the mode in which
ho had acted as contradistinguished from other examples.
In concluding his charge he said:—Gentlemen--B, fore
concluding this address to you I think I am bound pub-
licly to express the sense I entertain of the becoming
conduct of the High Sheriff of this county in his re-
ception of the judge, You aro aware that he is the
worthy representative of an ancient and distinguished
family—the Blundells, of Ince Blundell; and that, ad-
hering to the faith of his ancestors, he is a strict and
sincere Roman Catholic. But, reflecting credit on the
religious persuasion to which he belongs, he has cau•
tiously abstained from doing anything that can be con-
sidered contrary to the law of the land or offensive to
the feelings of Protestants. Instead of obtruding on
the judges, as chaplain, a Roman Catholic priest, in the
costume of the Romish Church, proposing that this
priest should appear in the same carriage with the
judges when they go in procession to open the Queen's
commission, and that he should sit by them in court
as chaplain whilst they administered jastice
r
during the assizes, the present High Sheriff,
to himself and his family the full
benefit of the ministration of the spiritual in-
structor whom he in his conscience prefers, has made
arrangements whereby, both at Lancaster and Liverpool,
the judges have been enabled, according to established
the rites of the Protestant religion, before the commence-
uniseagnt?'to join
of juidniciinalthbe public worship of God according to
business, and have had the benefit of a
Protestant clergyman to officiate for them as cheplatu.
Happily the High Sheriff can perform all that belongs
to the duty of his office without any interference with
religious scruples. We do not expect, or wish, the Ro-
man Catholic Sheriff to attend us to church, or do any-
thingawhich can incur censure from the guides of his
conscience. On the other hand, it is not unreasonable
to require that in our presence the law shall not be vio-
lated, and that due respect should be shown to our feel-
ings as Protestants. From the benevolent and enlight-
ened tone of recent legislation all religious disabilities
are now done away with, and civil offices, with very few
exceptions, are equally open to all persons of all religious
denominations. It would, indeed, be a cruel injustice
that Roman
supremacy of the State in all temporal matters, were
Catholics, whilst they agree to submit to the
excluded from the full enjoyment of religious liberty.
But for their own sakes, and for others, they do well
when they avoid any thing
which may reasonably excite
the suspicions that they mean to act aggressively; and
that they have formed a plan for reviving the ascen-
dancy of their religion in this country. It may be hoped,
after the wise example set by my esteemed friend, Mr.
Blundell, that the attempt to fasten a Roman Catholic
clergyman on Protestant judges will not be made again.
To shoe/ the delusion on which this pretension rests, it
is enough to point out the consequences to which it ne-
cessarily leads. Jews and Quakers have filled, and may
fill the offices of high sheriff in England; and if the high
sheriff is entitled to put into the carriage along with the
judges the religious adviser he selects, they may find
themselves riding through the streets of a provincial
capital the observed of all observers, with a Jewish high-
priest sitting by them, or a male or female follower of
the society of the sect of Friends, who admit the softer
sex to have the privilege of publicly praying and preach-
ing. Gentlemen, I trust there is no impropriety in ex •
pressing cc this occasion an earnest wish that all her
Majesty's subjecis of all religious persuasions should
live together in peace and happiness, respecting the
rights and feelings of one another, and that they would
abstain from thinking themselves persecuted or aggrieved,
if they fail in any ill-advised endeavour to attack rivals
and to obtain anew, superiority for themselves.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord CAMPBELL.)
James I?oughley, Charles Mack, Martin Berfern, and
Hannah Moore were charged with having, at Manchester
on the 14th of Mey last, assaulted and robbed one John

William Corcoram, a person who works in a mill, was I
next called, and deposed to having seen the prisoners
Edwards and S ater taking an active part in the demo-
lition of E,fgeley Chapel, and th, furniture in the
priest's house. He was cross-examined at great length,
for the purpose of showing that he had made ticluais-
-1 stons to various persons that ho had net been near i
Edgeley Chapel on the night of the disturbances, but
the cross-examination failed in its object. _

Mr. Mond.: appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Tindal
Atkinson defended the prisoner Roughley, Mr. Sowler
defended the prisoners Mack and More; the prisoner
Heffern was undefended.
It appeared that on Friday, the 14th of May, the pro-
secutor, who is a hawker, residing at Broacibottom, in
Cheshire, was at Shade-hill Market, in Manchester, and
employed the prisoner Heffern to carry some parcels for
him to the railway, but on getting to the statioc, finding
that the train had started, they went to a beer-house
near, and had a little beer, and then Heffern said that if
the prosecutor would go to a vault which was near he
would treat him to a pint of ale; they accordingly went
to a vault in Spier-street, kept by a man named Sykes,
where they had some beer, and the prosecutor took out
a shilling and paid for it. He then attempted to leave
the vault, and went to the door, when he was surrounded
by eight or nine people who were present, his head was
thrown back, his waistcoat torn open, and 41 13s. 2d.
taken from him, and then all the people ran away. The
prosecutor identified the several prisoners as being pre-
sent at the robbery, and other witnesses spoke to the part
each took in it,
Mr. ATKINSON and Mr. SONTLER addressed the jury
on behalf of their several clients, and two witnesses
were called on behalf of the prisoners Mack and Moore,
to prove that they were in the kitchen when the robbery
took place, and were not near the door.

Francis Trevor, a shopkeeper a short distance from
Edgeley Chapel, described the general features of the
riot in that vicinity, in the course of which he got
severely beaten for remonstrating with them on the folly
and wickedness of the work of demolition they were
pursuing.
The Rev. Mr. Frith examined—l am the priest of the
Edgeley Chapel. About half-past nine on Tuesday
evening, the 29th June, I received some information
which caused me to leave my house. I went to the
Church Inn public-house, and spoke to the landlord. I
then returned home, and soon after a person told me to
got out of the way, as the crowd was close at hand. I
went into the chapel at once, and removed the sacred
vessels to a place of safety. While doing so the windows
were smashed, and I heard them hammering at the
doors. I then went up into the belfry, and pulled
up the ladder and cut the rope of the bell. I was very
much alarmed, and remained there three-quarters
of an hour. While there, I heard people below breaking
the pews and smashing the organ. I also heard thumping
at the trap door leading into the belfrey, as if trying to
break through. Saw, too, a person pulling down the
railing opposite my house, and levelling the brickwork.
Seeing a light below, and suspecting the chapel was
going to be fired, I got to the roof of the chapel, and
made my way to the shelter of a stack of chimnies rising
from my house, where I remained till the military came.
I then got down to my house through a window. The
house was a perfect wreck; the staircases were demo-
lished; the house strewed with books, papers, and broken
furniture; the doors knocked to pieces, and the window-
sashes and other parts of the house all but demolished.
The library and one of the registers of baptisms were
destroyed, and the sacerdotal vestments either missing
or partly spoiled, There was a fire opposite my house.
Cross-examined—The fire was about eight or ten
yards from the house. Had heard in the course of the
evening that windows had been broken at St. Peter's
Church, and I may have expressed regret, and said they
might retaliate.

His LORDSHIP having sumurA up,
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all the
prisoners.
Previous convictions were proved against Mack and
Moore.

His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said that it was
sufficient to make one shudder that such a place as the
vault is question should be allowed to exist in such a
town as Manchester ; such places could only be endured
when they were properly looked after by the police.
With regard to Roughlsy, he hoped that the present case
was only his initiation into crimp ; but he must suffer
an imprisonment of two years with hard labour. lief-
fern had decoyed the prosecutor into the yak to rob him,
and the other two had assisted in it after having been
previously convicted; the sentence upon them would,
therefore, be that of transportation for fifteen years.

ilary Howley, the wife of a hawker, living in John-
eet, Stockport, identified Samuel Williamson as having
been one of a mob of 400 or 500, headed by a man named
Garner, going in the direction of Edgeley Chapel. She
swore to having seen Williamson break some windows
of the Irish, in John-street, with a staff with which he
was armed.

Jitne Dowe swore that the mob spoken to by the last
witness broke her windows, and then broke into her
house. They went towards Edgeley. She lived in
John-street. On the return of the crowd they broke her
furniture. The prison( rs Birch and he
swore were in the crowd, and the former broke her
windows.

we went to the Park Chapel. There was a

~

Mary Goodie also proved that Birch was one of the
mob hi John-street, and that he said to her, that they
would murder an destroy all before them, and behead
the priest as well.
John Mulvey, between 10 and 11, t,aw the crowd
coaling from Edgeley Chapel, aster the demolition, and
amongst Lh.m iuenttfied Joseph Birch, who held in his
hand a piece of wood covered with white cloth, as if it
had been part of a broke❑ seat, or something of that
sort.

Ellen M'Donald, living near Edgeley Chapel, stated,
that on Tuesday, June 29, she lett service at Edgeley
t.Thapel about halt-past 8 o'clock. Saw a crowd in Ed-
wai d street, coming from the Billgate going towards
Wellington-road. Heard them say they wondered where
all the b— Irishmen wore—they w: re all a-deep or gone
out of town. Saw a crowd standing between J..dward-
street and Johu•street, and heard tneua say the same.
One said " they are rot gone out of town, there is mass
at the Catholic chapel, and we'll go and light up."
They :aid if they got hold of old Frith they would kill
him. Others said, let's not go to the Catholic chapel,
let's go to Rock-row." After that saw a mob in Hoek-
row, and bear❑ them say " let's go and knock the Ca-
tholic chapel down." She also proved having seen
Thomas Walker assisting to knock in Edgeley chapel
door with a staff, when the crowd were attacking that
place of worship. The crowd got in, and soon atter
Walker returned with a brass cross in his hand, which
he broke on the flags.
Rose Ann Macdonald confirmed the testimony of the
last witness as to the identity of Walker, and the part
he took at Edgeley Chapel.
Margaret Marlow swore to the prisoner, Samuel
Preston, as the person who broke open the poor-box in
Edgeley Chapel, and take something out during the riot.
Theresa Harney, a factory girl, swore that the pri-
soner, Mark Gleave, was ono of the persons stirring up
the fire opposite the Rev. Mr. Frith's house while the
priest's vestments were burning. About half-past one
the next morning she saw him, with a number of other
persons, breaking into cellars inhabited by the Irish in
the vicinity of a place called Walker's•yard. The party
remained there two hours.

Alice Divine, a washerwoman, proved that she had
seen Gleave coming out of the vestry of Edgeley Chapel,
while it was being attacked, with a flat stick in his hand.
John Barlow, a bricklayer, deposed that he saw Wil-
liam Walker (one of the prisoners) when the Edgely
Chapel was broken into. Witness told Walker that sort
of work would not do, and Walker said it would not, and
he would stop them. Be went to the crowd, and did stop
them from breaking any more of the school windows, but
directly after he went to assist in kicking in the door of
the chapel next the school.
_ .

John Stanton swore that William Walker was one of
a party of men who during the riot assisted to pull down
the railing opposite Mr. Frith's (the priest) house.
After he had done, he said," Now fetch out the b—y old
priest, and we'll crucify him." The door of the house
was then broken open, and the people went in.
Abraham Longson, one of the Stockport police, proved
that during the attack upon Park-street Chapel he saw
George Pell, after the pews had been demolished,
striking at something on the wall with a piece of heavy
wood, and he took him into custody immediately. He
apprehended Gleave on the 2d of July, who denied
having ever been at Edgeley Chapel until four in the
morning.
Thomas Whalley, a shoemaker of Stockport, proved
that William Bullery took part in the disturbance at the
Park Chapel, and he at once took him into custody.
Inspector Walker, of the Stockport potice, proved
that the iron safe from the Edgeley Chapel bad been
brought to the Court house for safe custody on the night
of the riots. It was empty, and part of the lining was
torn out. He also produced a heap of frightful looking
bludgeons found in the Edgeley Chapel aftor the riot.
Thai e were feud 86 bludgeons, 3 pokers, and a mason's
chisel.

This closed the csse for the prosecution.
There are 50 witnesses for the defence, and the case is
not expected to finish until hste this evening.

POLICE IN TEL LIGENCE.
B 0 W-S TRE ET.
Viscount Frankfort de Montmorency, commonly called
Lord Frankfort, of 14, Buckingham-street, Strand, ap-
peared before Mr. Henry upon summons charging him
with having " unlawfully composed, printed, and pub-
lishee a foul, malicious, and defamatory libel of and con-
cerning Lord Henry Lennox."
Mr. Humphries, the solicitor, attended to support the
charge, and Lord Frankfort, who kept the Court wait.
ing some time before his arrival, conducted his own
defence.
Besides the noblemen and gentlemen interested in the
case, we observed his Serene Highness the Prince Ed-
ward of Saxe Weimar and Lord Arthur Lennox upon
the bench.
Mr. Humphries said—l have the honour to attend on
behalf of Lord Henry Lennox, who has to complain of a
gross and defamatory libel published on divers occasions,
which, in a public sense, is an outrage upon decency and
morality, and I much regret that his Lordship has been
called upon to answer such a charge. When Lord Henry
Lennox first received one of the offensive documents, he was
disposed to throw it aside with that contempt which a gen-
tleman would naturally feel on seeing it; but on ascertain-
ing the extent to which the libel had been circulated,
not only among the nobility, clergy, and gentry, but
among ladies of title and distinction, his Lordship con-
ceived it to be his duty to take such steps as would lead
to the discovery of the libeller, and the prevention of
the annoyance and pain which these disgusting effusions
had occasioned in so many respectable families. lam
almost sorry to say that I shall be able satisfactorily to
show that they have emanated from Lord Frankfort.
The libel is in two papers—the first containing a list of
names, headed by that of Lord Henry Lennox; and the
second, a statement in the third person, purporting to
be written by Mr. Macbeath, of 3, Vigo-street, solicitor.
[Mr. Humphries here read the documents, which appear
in the evidence.] I shall call the Rev. Mr. Mackenzie,
who feels the duty to be a most painful and repugnant
one, to prove that one of these letters—indeed several—
had been received by him; and I shall be able to show
that the female servant of Lord Frankfort was de-
tected in putting into the post esffiee as many as 59
letters of a precisely similar character, and nearly all of
them addressed to clergymen in different parts of the
country. The servant readily admitted to the detective
officers, who had been set to watch her, that the letters
had been given to her by Lord Frankfort, with instruc-
tions to post them, and that she had been constantly in
the habit of posting such letters for some time past. I
need hardly add that the names which have been in-
serted in the libel have been used without the knowledge
and, of course, greatly to the disgust and annoyance of '
the parties themselves.
The Rev. Mr. Mackenzie, vicar of St. Martin's-in-the-
Fields, was the first witness examined. He said: I pro-
duce three envelopes, with enclosures. which I received
by post on the 21st and ted of July last. They contain
eight printed papers, six of one kind and two of another.
The third of these envelopes I did not open until yes-
terday, having had my feelings offended and my eyes
Polluted sufficiently by the two first. I hope it may not
be necessary to read them.
Mr. HINRY—They must be read.
Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, read the libel, and the
list of names which accompanied it. Both were printed
in the form of a circular. The first as follows:
" Mr. Macbeath presents his duty to the peers sees and
the daughters of the nobility and gentry, and informs
them that he continues to arrange assignations with the
most perfect impunity and safety. Having been trained

Those ladies who will turn up with the parties sent may
be satisfied they will be 'look ,d at,' but toose who re-
fuse to do so will not be looked at at au."
To the foregoing the following names were annexed:—
" Lord Henry Lennox, Portland place.
" Mr. W. Harris, Sutton-iodge, Hackney, and 12,
Moorgate-street, City.
" Mr. Macbeath, 3, Vigo-street, R•ogent-street.

" Mr. James Hunter, 14, Buckingham-street, and
Lime-street, City.
" Mr. Jackson, John street, Adelphi, and 37, Jermyn
street."
Mr. HZNRY (to the defendant)—Do you wish to ask
Mr. Mackenzie any question? Defendant—No, I don't.
I know nothing about it. I have nothing to hide, and
nothing to ask.
Lord Henry Charles George Gordon Lennox examined
—I live at 51, Portland-place. I have received a letter
signed by Harris and the other names, similar to the one
produced by the last witness. I knew nothing of any of
the parties until I received letters from Mr. Harris and
Mr. Macbeath, complaining of the use made of their
names, and repudiating it.
Mr. Humphries—l need hardly ask your Lordship if
yo have ever authorised the use of your name.
Mr. HENRY—It is quite unnecessary, even in law, to
give negative testimony as to the imputations contained
in the libel.

Lord Henry Lennox—l know nothing of any of the
publications or of the parties named in them. I have
been goaded on to appear in a court by the nuisance in-
flicted on others, and for the protection of the public.
Otherwise I should have taken no notice of so con-
temptible a production.
Defendant—l have nothing to ask his Lordship.
Sergeant Thornton, of the detective force, said—ln
consequence of instructions which I received, I went into
Buckingham-street, Strand, on the afternoon of July 22.
I knew that Lord Frankfort lived at No. 14, and
watched the house. At a quarter to eight in the even-
ing, being then in company with Inspector Field, I saw
a woman come out of his Lordship's house, with a basket
in her possession. I followed her to the Post-office,
Charing-cross, where she produced a handful of letters
(five in number) from her basket, and was about to put
them in the letter-box when I took her hand and pre-
vented it. We took possession of the letters and the
basket, end desired the woman to accompany us to the
pelice-stiition in King-street. The basket contained
fifty-nine letters (including the five) several of which I
have opened. They contain the same kind of papers as
those which have been produced by the Reverend Mr.
Mackenzie. Each ;of the letters bad a postage-stamp
upon it, and they were all, I he lieve. addressed to clergy-
men. Inspector Field had some conversation with the
woman, which he will state. After this she was allowed
to depart.
Mr. liENßY—There will be no occasion to open the
remainder of the letters. One is as good as fifty fur the
purposes of the prosecution.
By his Worship—After we released the woman she
returned to Lorn Frankfort's. Field and myself went
back with her at her request. The servant rang the
bell, and when his Lordship came to the inner door, she
called to him, "My Lerd, the police are here." We all
went in together, and I think Mr. Field told his Lord-
ship what had passed. I had been watching the house
several days previously.
Inspector Field, or the detective force, said—l sec:en-
paeied Teornton to Buckingham-street on the 22d of
July. Before the woman came out with the letters I
saw Lord Frankfort come out of the door and look up
the street. On stopping the woman and asking her
where she bad brought the letters from, she replied,
" Why, you ought to know." I said, " How do I know ?"
She said, ' Why from Lord Frankfort's. I expected he
would get into a mess some of these days." I then took
her down to Scotland-yard, and opened the two
letters produced, in her presence. She made a state-
ment, which I took down at the time as follows:
"Statement of Mary Taylor: I am a single woman,
residing at 7, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square. I have
known Lord Frankfurt for many years, and I have been
employed by his Lordship in the capacity of servant. On
this evening his Lordship gave me a great number of
letters, and told me to post them at the Post-office,
Charing-cross, which I was doing when I was seized by
the officers. I have repeatedly posted letters similar
to those found upon me." I then went (continued the
witness) to Lord Frankfort's house,as the woman wished
me to go back with her, saying, that if I got into the
house I must be very careful of him, as he was dan-
gerous. I understood her to mean that he would be
dangerous to me.
Lord Frankfort—She came home between these two
officers, and another policeman behind.
Witness—l took a constable in uniform with us, in
consequence of what she said. She rang the bell, and
his Lordship came to the door, but he did not see us.
She told him we wore the pence, and we heard him say,
" She is not my servant; she is a woman that chars for
me." We did not go in with the woman, so the door
was shut in our face. I saw the woman come out about
twenty minutes afterwards, and have seen her several
times since.
Mr. HENRY—Is the woman here? Inspector Field—
She is not, your Worship.
Defendant—Then why is she not here? Inspector
Field—Because you have got her somewhere out of the
way.

Mr. HENRY—Rave you tried to serve her with a sum-
mons? lospector Field—l have made repeated attempts
to do so, but she is nowhere to be met with. We tried
the address which she gave at the station, but she was
not there.
John Gray, 25, Guildford place, Bagnigge- wells-road,
examined—I was formerly a police-constable, and am
now living upon the superaunuation pension. I have
known Lord Frankfort many years. I saw his Lordship
on the 21st of July last, and then made an appointment to
see him on a private matter on the following day. I
did not call again, however, until the 23d. I took
down a conversation which I had with him imme-
diately atter leaving him. After disposing of our pri•
vete business, he said, What sort of a man is Field, of
the detective foree?' I said he was a stout man, and
described him. Re said " Who is the next great man
on the detectives?" I said " Shaw." He said " They
came here two or three days ago. My servant was
putting some letters in the post—no (correcting himself)
not my Servant, I mean a woman under my protection
—my charwoman. They have committed a highway
robbery on me. They have taken my stamps—no, not
mine, another gentleman's who I do them for, and she
posts them. I shall see about it, and make them give
compensation for false imprisonment."
Defendant—There is not one word of truth in what
this man says. I certainly asked what sort of a man
Field was, for I considered him a very hasty-tempered
man.

Mr. HENRY—You had better reserve your statement
till after the examination.
Witness continued—On the 27th July I saw Lord
Frankfort again, at ten o'clock in the morning. He said,
"Do you know Sergeant Harrington?" I said" No;
there is Sergeant Thornton." He said, " Ah, that's the
name. I wish you to see them, and request them to come
here and make an offer of compromise; for they have
done wrong. They are not to offer too large a sum; for
if I think it too much, I shall take off half. If they get
iato the bands of a low lawyer they will have to pay
a good deal; for supposing the letters contained
treason, there was nothing in the publication thate
could hurt me, as I had advice upon n
_
subject. What sort of a tempered man is Fielt said,?i

Defendant—Then. s not a word of truth in this man's
statement. I have nothing to hide. I simply told him
that the poor woman was going to put it into the hands
of a lawyer.
Mr. Humphries stated that it was the wish of Mr.
Maebeath that he should be examined.
Mr. HENRY—Certainly, I think he ought to be.
Mr. W. Macbeath, solicitor, 3, Vigo-street, Regent-
street, examined—A number of these letters have been
forwarded to me by post, by my clients and others, and
I wish to state that I have never given any authority for
the use of my name in this way.
By Mr. HENRY—The fact is that on a former occasion
Lord Frankfort gave me a number of other letters re-
flecting on other people's characters. I know his Lord-
ship's handwriting. On looking at the writing on the
envelopes produced, I should say that it resembled his
Lordship's, but had been greatly disguised, as may be
observed. It is my
belief that they resemble his Lord-
ship's hand, but if you will allow me to compare them
with his writing I shall be better able to say.
Mr. HENRY—You cannot do that; it would be illegal.
Witness—It was decided in the Queen's Bench that
we might refer to a man's writing to refresh our recol-
lection
of it.
