Mr. John Langton was called to prove the hand-

proving the Alderman's hand-writing, it was 44.1,
ettitted by the Counsel for the Defet'idant, •
Boron -M'Cr:E. LcAND having .asked Mr.• ScravEsr
for his def'ence, the Learned Gentleman said, he
was prepared With the best defence that could be •
madq, a complete proof of the full liqui‘tation
of the 'debt. He would not detain the. Court by any
preinninary dliservations, but shotdd.fake occasion,
en pitssiint, to remark, that, great as-was kric talent,
and 'confessedly impressive_as was the eloquence.of
Mr. Giant, it. would demand more ability; and
greater poWer of language, even than his;: to prose
to a DablinjUry, that Alderman Rose was a charac-
ter such as the Learned Gentleman had stated. He
was known iO be -the very reverse of the piatue
which" had been exhibited. With regard to. the
other part, which regardeclthe bill of exchanges, he
answer by producing witnesses.
' ' • Mr. Patrick AVGaulrick- was confidential clerk to
' Mr. Rose Baker, knew most of, his pecuniary trans-
attiotrs-;-kneW" of his dealings with iNlr. Moriarty
here a variety-of documents, consisting.ol.
'account q, were-produced to the witness, which he
explained he had.waitedon Mr.. Moriarty in prison
with the sum of 311. which the latter snapped fiom
hint in a very anxious manner, acknowledging at,
the same tine that it was the balance of. his account
with Mr. Rose Baker. This witness underwent a
long •and ingenious cross-examination by Mr. D.
GRADY ; in the course of which he was asked whe7
then Ruse Baker was nut in the habit of drawing bills
.on Bolderoand'C'o. Bankers in London, and in Lie-,
'gociating them here ? the witness denied the tad
but said that many of Rose Baker's bills, were
made payable at thh, house of Boldero. On being
asked whether Mr. Baker dat not draw bills uponjie-.
titious characters-.-upon men who had no existence,
except in' the prolific brain of the said Baker he
was abot to repiy, when lie was stopped by .the,!
Learned:Judge, who desired him to answeeno
question. . .• • •
Mr. Mason was then called, for the Plaintiff—
Having proved his repeated visits to Baker,;:for the
amount of. the bill, he explained t erasure, at ap-
peared upon-it, by saying that it was a mernuran-,
duin. which he made, ia consequence of his
having-seen Baker through the key-hole, in his in-
side office, after his being denied abroad. ~I.le then
proceeded to decypher the mernoranduari„,:,which
appeared substantially as he had-stated. After a va
riety of other questionsohis witness was disrui,ssed
when -
Mr. Keogh Wa's called; He swore, distinaly„
that Mr. Moriarty did not receive 311. sworn by
Mr. McGaultackir as a liquidation; or in part liqt.tida-

t that if the Jury believed Mr. Keogh, they would
find for al:e Plaintiff; but if M•Gaulrick, they
would find for the Defendant.-=Verditt for the De-

After crossing the Atlantic with every requisite
necessary to proceed on the fishing voyage (leaving
England about the beginning of March), they gene-
: 'rally: come to single anchor, on what are termed
" the Banks of Newfoundland," in the month of
April, which are in length frorn 1-60 to 200 miles ;
in breadth, they may be considered narrow. There
are two fishing banks, the outer, and the inner;
the outer bank is about 150 miles or more off the
land; the inner is from 80 to 100 miles off the
short.. They seldom fish on the outer bank, from
.the great depth .of water, being frem 90 to-100
fathoms deep, unless it is when they cannot find
any fish on the inner-bank. They generally cast
anchor, and fish in atioUt 45 and 5u fathoms of
Water, with two, and some with three hooks to tach
and.dreadful work it is, at so early a period of
the7yearyfrom -the excessive coldness of the climate,
the great fogs natural: to that part of the world, and
the intense- cOldnes of the water,, they. being ob-
.:liged to'haul the fish from such a depth as 40 and
5U fathotns.-r.There are pounds or itacloSures made
on the deck, for each fisherman to, throw what he
' 'catches ; the best place for, fishing is
.supposed to.
be the larboard 'bow, and the larboard_quarter, at
the latter place the Mate fiAies, and the Boats Wain
on the bow. •
There is ere&ed ;little stage-in the midships of
the vessel,. on the starboard- side, at Which sit in a
barrel, the Headder and Splitter, men_ who'are
engaged for that purpose, and -who do not fish ;
• the Headder cuts open the fish, tears up its entrails,
and fisting the fish against :the edge of the, stage,
beaks off its head; and drives the fish over to the
-Splitter' opposite him, who immediately with
his sharp splitting knife, lays it -dexterously open,

and cuts -up the sound nom: from the back of
the fiih, when he lets it slip off frOm the Stage
'on a chute, which conveys them doWn into' the
hold of the vessel, where there is a roan station-
ed ready to receive them; who is termed the
Salter 3 he immediately, lays them spread out

:a!)out 'a month; or until the vessel has, a good cargo
of them. The liver is separated from the fish on
the platform, and falls through the• stage into large
