LAW INTELLIGENCE.

BAIL COUitT, Nov. 15.

THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF WIGAN.

Sir W. FOLLETT moved for a mandamus against the
justices of the borough of Wigan, commanding them to
allow a rate made for the highways of that parish.
The rate was made under the sth and 6th Will. IV.,
c. 50. The Gth section directed that the surveyors
should be elected annually, and under the 9th there
was power to elect a surveyor, with a salary. The 27th
clause provided that the rates should be made by the
surveyor, and signed by him, and allowed by two Jus-
tices, and published in the same way as in the case of
poor-rates. The only ground of objection here was
that there was some informality in the appointment of
the surveyor who made the rate. An appeal was made
but it had not been prosecuted, and the surveyor had
since been in office, and made the rate according to the
terms of the act. Under these circumstances he be-
lieved he was entitled to a rule absolute, as the Justices
were merely ministerial officers.

His LORDSHIP said he would give his decision to-
morrow morning.

THE QUEEN V. THE BIRMINGHAM AND GLOUCESTER

RAILWAY COMPANY.
In this case a rule had been granted to show cause
why a mandamus should not issue against the Birming-
ham and Gloucester Railway Company, commanding
them to make and repair a turnpike road leading from
Cheltenham to Tewkesbury.
Sir W. FOLLETT now applied for an enlargement of
the rule until next term, on the ground that there was
not sufficient time to answer the affidavits, which ex-
tended to 180 folios, and also that it was necessary to
prepare plans.

. _ .
His LORDSHIP said there was quite sufficient to en-
large the rule.

The COURT rose at two o'clock.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 15.
(Sittings in Banco.)
CORNFOOT V. SIR F. FOWKE.
(Continued from our Paper of yesterday.)
Mr. WILCOX, of the Chancery bar, applied himself
,the equity of the case, and contended that the de-

fendant ought to be put in the same situation as• if be-
fore signing the agreement he had known that the
house was an objectionable one. A Court of Equity
would not allow the plaintiff to be advantaged by the
fraud or misrepresentation of his agent, whether made
knowingly or not.

Mr. THESSIGER, in support of the rule, submitted, in
the first place, that the jury were misdirected by
the Learned Lord Chief Baron, inasmuch as he had
told them to consider Mr-Clark, the agent, to all in-
tents and purposes the same as the plaintiff in this tran-
saction. In that he contended the Learned Lord was
wrong, because, no doubt, whatever was said by a prin-
cipal must bind him, but he could not be bound by the
representations of his agent, unless they were strictly
confined to the matter of the agency. Now clearly the
agent had no right to make representations of anything
except the house. Suppose the brothel had been three
or four doors cff— or, suppose there had been a
brewery, or a gas-work in the nei;hbourhood, and
Mr. Clark had said the house was an unobjectionable
one, would the Court then have found that the plaintiff
was bound by such representation ? Certainly not, for
no one could for a moment argue that he was then acting
in the exqcution of his duty as agent for the letting of
the house—that would not have been within the scope
of his authority. But he further contended that Mr.
Clark was an innocent party, that he knew nothing of
the matter, and he was justified in saying so, as the
jury had not found against such a view of the matter.
This was a mere sale with all faults, for the de-
fendant could not expect such a house in such a situa-
tion as the one in question at so low a rent.
It was his duty, then to have used due caution. But
having entered blindfold into the contract, it was too
much for him to seek for relief at the expense of the
plaintiff. There was no fraud on the part of the
plaintiff; none had been proved against the agent.
There had been no attempt to prevent the defendant
from making those inquiries which a prudent and cau-
tious person would have done. He, therefore, sub-
mitted that there was neither fraud, covin, nor misrepre-
sentation, and, therefore, he submitted the plaintiff was
entitled to a rule.
Mr. WATSON followed on the same side.

After some consultation on the Bench, the COURT
said they would take time to consider the case.

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.
ALLEGED GAMBLING TRANSACTION-SLOMAN V. KELLY.
In this case a bill had been filed calling upon the de-
fendant to hand over to the plaintiff several checks and
I 0 U's, which the defendant held of his, and praying
the Court to declare the action at law instituted by the
defendant against the plaintiff void ; and further, to
restrain the defendant from bringing an action in
respect of the checks and I 0 U's in question. From
the statements made in support of the bill it appeared
that in October, 1838, the plaintiff paid a visit to
Herne Bay, where he met the defendant Kelly, who
had formerly lived in Clifford-street, Band-street, and
where he kept a place called " The Lounge," in which
there were rooms appropriated to the game of billiards,
and where also cards and games of hazard were con-
stantly played ; that on the sth of October the plaintiff
was invited by the defendant to a dinner at the Pier
Hotel, Herne Bay, where the former drank a great
deal of wine by which he was much affected ;
that the defendant avoided taking much wine, and
was consequently not inebriated ; that the defendant in-
duced the plaintiff then to play at cards and dice,
whereby he lost a large sum of ready money to the de-
fendant ; that the latter offered to lend plaintiff several
sums of money, provided he would give his checks and
10 U's for the same ; that plaintiff, in the hope of get-
ting back some of the money which he had lost, was
was induced to accede to this proposition, and he as
cordingly gave the defendant checks on his bankers,
Messrs. Vier and Co., and also I 0 U's to the amount
of several hundred pounds, which still remained in
the defendant's hands ; that in Easter Term, 1839,
the defendant brought an action against the plaintiff for
six hundred pounds and upwards, in respect of checks and
1 0 U's held by him for that sum. To this the p!ain-

tiff (Slotnan) pleaded that the only consideration given
by the defendant for these checks, &c., was money which
plaintiff subsequently lost to defendant, at the game of
" hazard," played with dice, and the plaintiff then filed
a bill in this Court to restrain the defendant from pro-
ceeding further in the suit. To this bill the defendant
put in an answer, in which he set out that having Cap-
tain Polhill and Messrs. Holt, Christy, and Ferris,
who were friends of his, to dine with him at the Pier
Hotel, Herne Bay, in October, 1838, he invited the
plaintiff to join the party ; that wine was freely taken
by all the party, but that the plaintiff had not taken
too much, nor was be affected b' what he had taken, arid
he was, consequently, not incapable of knowing what
he was doing. The defendant denied that he abstained
from drinking wine on that occasion, and that he was,
in fact, very much affected by what he had taken, arid
that the plaintiff had given him the checks and I 0 U's
in question for money which he (the defendant) ad-
vanced to him. To this answer exceptions were taken
by the plaintiff, and the case came before the Court to-
day for argument upon these exceptions.
Mr. SIMYINSON was heard in support of the bill of
exceptions, and
Mr. THERRY on the part of the defendant.
Lord AzINGER held that the exceptions must he al-
lowed, on the ground that as the defendant had answered
the bill in part, he was bound to give a full and com-
plete answer.
The exceptions were then allowed.

COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 15.
HITCHCOCK V. GEALES.
This was an action for false arrest. Tne plaintiff
had been charged with felony by defendant, and taken
into custody. The charge was entirely disproved.
Mr. Sergeant. ANDREWS was for the plaintiff. The
defendant appeared in person ; and on the close of
plaintiff's case,
Mr. Justice ERSKINE strongly advised him to retract
the charge—thus, perhaps, he might. be let off with
paying the costs.
Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS said his client was not
anxious for costs, but only to clear his character, and

would be satisfied with a distinct retractation by the
defendant of the charge he had made.
Defendant appeared very unwilling so to do, declaring
that the object was to ruin him.

Mr. Justice ERSKINE said this only increased his
offence, and pressed him, to say that he was now satis-
fied of the plaintiff's innocence.

Defendant—Well, as the Magistrate released him,
I suppose I must.

Mr. Sergeant ANDuEws—No, Sir; that will not do.
I can be satisfied only with your own distinct declaration
that you no longer believe my client guilty ; if you do
not make that declaration, I shall go to the Jury.
Defendant, after considerable hesitation, at last said
reluctantly—l do not beEeve he stole the goods.
The Jury upon that found nominal damages.
The Learned JUDGE told the defendant that his
proper course in suspicicn of felony, was to apply to a
Magistrate first.

JEFFREY V. GRAHAM.
This was an action to -ecover about 601., which was
the value of certain goods seized by the official assignee
from the plaintiff, the albgect owner, in right of some
supposed property of then in one Neale, a bankrupt.
Mr. HILL (and Mr. GaET) were for the plaintiff. He
said the question would be, whether at the time of the
seizure, the goods were the Opperty of the plaintiff. He
called a witness, who proveci&tit they bad been, pur•
chased of a house called IcAtiatt.-Cfe., Wentminater-
road, and lodged in a stable or warehouse belonging to
or occupied by plaintiff, from which they were taken by
the messenger of the bankruptcy. The evidence of this
and other witnesses was very unsatisfactory when sub-
jected to a sifting, cross-examination by Mr. JAMES
who appeared for the defendant, but who did not call
any witness to connect the property with Neale.
The LEARNED JUDGE, at the close of the trial (which
lasted nearly all day), said the evidence was very sus-
picious, and
The verdict was for defendant.
The COURT sat in Banco, but the cases were very
dry and uninteresting.

SCOVI.MI?IES' COURT, Nor 15.
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER and a Common Jury.)
CRIM. CON.—SMITH V. BES WICK.
This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages in
an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant
for criminal conversation with his wife, in which the
defendant had suffered judgment to go by default.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD and Mr. HAWKINS ap-
peared for the plaintiff, and Mr. C. PHILLIPS for the
defendant.

Mr. Sergeant TALTOURD said that the plaintiff in
this case, was a respectable tradesman, residing at Bir-
mingham, and he sought compensation in damages at
the hands of the Jury from the defendant, a brewer,
residing in the same town, for one of the most grievous
injuries that one man could inflict upon another. Mr.
Smith was a gentleman was a gentleman in good circum-
stances, his age was rather more than forty. Mrs.
Smith was rather younger, being about two-and-thirty ;
and the defendant was about two-and-twenty years of
age. He was no acquaintance of the plaintiff, there-
fbre he had no breach of hospitality to complain of.
The plaintiff and his wife had no family ; and if, on the
one hand, the absence of children might be pleaded in
mitigation, as lessening the number of the sufferings in
consequence of the defendant's guilt, on the other it
might be urged in aggravation, as rendering the deso-
lation of the plaintiff's home more complete. The
Learned Counsel then proceeded to detail the facts of
the case as they appeared in evidence, and called
Lavinia Buxton examined by Mr. HAWKlNs—Lived
as servant with Mr. and Mrs. Smith about seven years.
Has known defendant rather better than 12 months.
Was sent by her mistress to carry a message to him.
Before that time had never seen him at her master's.
She sometimes carried messages every other evening for
about a month ; got answers from Mr. Beswick. The
first message was that her mistress could not come at
the appointed time, and the answer was that he would
see her at another hour—by the Bank. Her mistress
after that received letters ; read some poetry from them
to witness.

The witness was examined at considerable length,
and stated that the defendant on several occasions vi-
sited Mrs. Smith, and sem, times stayed all night. and
that Mr. Smith at one time on arriving from London
found them in a room together.
Several other witnesses were examined, but their
evidence was not of much impo4tauce. It appeared-
that up to about February tivivemonth the parties
lived happily together.
Mr. PHILLIPPS said cases of this nature were most
painful ones to be concerned in, whether for plaintiff or
defendant, but of all the cases he had ever met with he
had never met with one so bare of proof as the present.
The marriage and the adultery were both admitted upon
the record, but it was most extraordinary that out of the
whole population of Birmingham not a single witness
had been brought forward who had known this lady be-
fore her marriage. Even upon the plaintiff's own show-
ing this lady had sent her servant to make assignations
for her with a young man in the street. Now what
could a woman who would acf, in thii way be worth—
that was a question for the Jury to consider in assessing
the damages. But he would go further, he could prove
she had been a woman of a most abandoned character
before she married .Mr. Smith ; that Mr. Smith visited
her before his marriage, and must therefore have known
her character ; and that she continued her career of pro-
fligacy after her marriage up to the time of her meeting
with the unfortunate boy, the defendant in this action,
who had fallen a victim to the fascinations of this syren,
and whose friends, and not himself, had sent him (Mr.
Phillipps) there to-day to bring these things under the
notice of the Jury. The Learned Gentleman then
called witnesses.

Mr. W. Baxter examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—Is a
constable. Hai lived in Birmingham. Knows Mrs.
Smith. Has known her twenty years. Knew her be
fore her marriage, she was then living in a brothel kept
by Mrs. Jones. She went by the name of Caroline
Williams. Was then a brass-founder. Mrs. Jones
lived in Old Meeting-street. Has seen Caroline Wil-
liams there twenty times, and also walking the street
as a prostitute before her marriage. Knew Smith before
their marriage, and has seen him in Mrs. Jones's bro-
thel before his marriage ; and has seen him and his
present wife there together before their marriage, more
than once. Has seen her drunk. She is a very fine
!ooking woman. Has known another man visit her
besides Smith. Has frequently seen her in the streets
with dragoon officers since her marriage. About three
years ago saw her walk in the Coventry-road. Two
dragoon officers rode up, one got off his horse and joined
her; and they went down a lane. Witness followed.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD—Was
a brass-founder four or five years, and then sold by
commission in Bradford-street. Had no connection
with Mrs. Jones. Knew Mrs. Smith before she went
there. Mrs Jones is still living. Does not know Mr.
Beswick. Was applied to by a gentleman to come here.
By the Jury—The -affair with the dragoon officers
was at two o'clock in the day.
Thomas Hixson is a policeman of Birmingham.
Has known Mrs. Smith ten years. Knows Mrs.
James House. She also goes by the name of Garden.
Called there within this week to endeavour to see
her. Has never seen Mrs. Smith there. Knows a
brothel in Pitt's Passage. Has been thero within the
last three years, and has seen Mrs. Smith there once.
There was a man with her—not Mr. Beswick. Saw
them go into a bedroom.

Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant TA LFOURD.—This
was two or three years ago. Did not communicate
anything of this to Mr. Smith. It was about five in
the evening at the beginning of the year. She passed
by witness in going out of the house.
Other witnesses gave similar evidence.

Defendant—l hope your Lordship will pardon the
very disgusting offence, but I really felt quite over-
powered after we gave the three times three to your
Lordship's health.
The Loan MAYOR_What! were you intoxicated
so soon P Then you must have swallowed a glass to
every cheer—(a laugh). When I left the hall every-
body appeared to be perfectly well able to take care
of himself, and the greatest order prevailed.

Defendant—But I happened to go before your Lord
ship.
The policeman said that the defendant stumbled into
a coffee-shop staring wildly, and upon being asked who
he was, declared that he did not exactly remember, but
he had reason to belieie that the Lord Mayor could give
some information on the subject.

The LORD MAYOR—WeII, I am sorry that he did
not know how to govern himself amongst the good
thingi whieh'aboancled.

Defendant—l humbly beg your Lordship's pardon";
but, indeed, I was so overjoyed at seeing an innholder
Chief Magistrate, that I lost all control over myself.
Some how or other I thought I was bound to show re-
spect by filling my glass, and God knows what would
have become of me if it had not been for the police.
The LORD MAYOR--As a Magistrate, I cannot con-
scientiously excuse you, but as your Chairman who
called upon you to fill your glass, I cannot conscienti-
ously fine you.—(Laughter.) I shall, therefore, adopt
the middle course, and tell you that in taking any man's
advice to drink more than you ought, you have acted
like a fool, and that it is no credit to you to stand at
that bar, and be obliged to hear of your own degradation.
The defendant then bowed low, and with a deep
sigh departed.

—Thenet three men who were brought up were:
very good luck, for they3vere all charged with drtticli
-tress =A although they were old offenders in that
way, they appealed to his Lordship's sense of equal
justice with effect.

One of them, an old man, assured the Lord Mayor
that he had been bottling wine, and that he was over-
come by the mere fumes of the beverage, which he had
not tasted at all.

A policeman said that the old man was always smell-
ing either wine or something stronger ; for he was very
often to be found drunk in the kennel.
Defendant—Please your worship, I had nothing to
drink but a drop of beer, which I drinked to your Lord-
ship's health—(Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—WeII, I can't think of fining
you after the decision I have just come to ; but don t
let me see you here again.

Defendant—Never: my Lord ; for I'm determined
never to drink or bottle again as long as I live.

EXAMINATION OF HENRY FROST, FIF-
TEEN YEARS OF AGE, SON OF JOHN
FROST.—CHARGE AGAINST A CHART-
IST OF INCITING THE SOLDIERS TO
DESERT.
NEWPORT, THURSDAY NIGHT.—I am happy to say
that the rumours which were so rife Yesterday and the
day prece..ing of further outbreaks having taken place
at Merthyr have not been confirmed.; and since the
visit of Cokmel Considine to that district, and the con-
sequent arrangements with regard to the troops, mat-
ters have assumed a more favourable appearance. I
have just learned by a gentleman from Bristol that an-
other of the leaders has been apprehended in that town.
His name is Morgan Jenkins, and you will find in the
evidence adduced in the case of Thomas Aurelius he
was deeply implicated in the plot.
The appearance of Frost's son in the Court this
morning excited a considerable sensation. His youth-
ful and innocent appearance and manner prepossessed
the bystanders in his favour, and every one in the Court
appeared gratified by the result of the examination.

THURSDAY, Nov. 14—NINTH DAY.
(Examination of the prisoner 'Victory, continued from
yesterday.)
Ann Davies was then sworn, and examined by Mr.
T. J. Phillips—l reside in this town. I keep a spirit-
shop. I know the prisoner Victory. Ido not know a
soldier named Dalton. I remember the prisoner coming
to my shop with some soldiers. Ido not know the sol-
diers. He has come there with them on more than one
occasion. I remember on one occasion his coming with
three soldiers, and ordering rum for them. He had one
glass a-piece for the soldiers, and one for himself. They
drank that ; and 1 believe that, having drank the first
glasses,-the priaeaferVd ere tt 'four other glags§i:— To
the best of my knowledge, they drank eight glasses be-
tween them all. The glasses that were ordered on that
occasion were ordered by the prisoner. I was not paid
for them at the time. I put them down to the prisoner
Victory. I remember a soldier calling soon afterwards,
and inquired where the person who had treated them
resided. I directed him to go down Thomas-street, and
as near as where I understood the prisoner lived. I
understood the prisoner was the person inquired for. I
charged the rum to the prisoner (Victory's) account.
Victory was very much in tbo habit of coming to my
shop, and when he came there he was mostly drunk. I
do not recollect his conversing on any particular sub-
ject. I remember his 'exclaiming very much against
what happened at Birmingham. He has repeatedly
treated the soldiers with spirits, and always brought
them when drunk. 6 The rum has been paid for
by the prisoner Victory. I do not remember any con-
versation happening between him and the soldiers.
The prisoner here remarked that every word she said
was tree.
Robert Barr was next called and examined by Mr.
T. J. Phillips, solicitor—l am a private in her Ma-
jesty's 45th Regiment of Foot. I belong to Captain
Stack's company, now stationed here. I remember
the evening of the twelfth of last month. I remember
going down the main street towards the bridge. I met
John Clarke, a private, and he told me that a man had
given him some rum two nights before ; he told me that
that man had taken three of them into a spirit shop. I
and Clarke then went down towards the bridge. Clarke
met a man across the road. He told Clarke to get a
pint of beer, and he pointed to the house where he was
to get it. I did not hear any conversation take place
between them. I heard the man ask Clarke where the
two men were that had been with him two nights before.
Clarke told him those men were at home in the barracks,
but I belonged to his Company. The man told us to go
in there, pointing to a beer-shop, and we went in.
Clarke went in,and I followed him. We drank four or five
pints of beer there. I saw Morgan in the house before
we went out. Morgan told us it was near nine o'clock:,
and that it was time to go home. We went out and
crossed over a road, and saw Clarke talking to a man.
I believe him to be the same man that I saw in the
street before we went into the beer-house, They were
talking about Chartists, and something that had taken
place the night before. The man said, " Could not the
mob of one thousand people beat off the soldiers from
the tops of the houses with bricks re" Clarke said, " That
if the soldiers were called upon they would do their
duty." He asked if the soldiers would fire on the
Chartists, if a row took place in the town. Clarke sai.d,
That they would do their duty, which would be to fire
on them." Clarke then said, " Good night, friend ; I
shall see you again to-morrow." I am not sure that the
person I saw at the beer-house was the person I had
before seen. It was dark, and I could not distinguish
him ; his voice was similar to the one I had heard
before.

By the Rev. J. Coles.—Clarke and me went
straight along the roa•l directly after he said, " Gor,a
night,--friend," to- the—en amt.
Benjamin Jefferies—l am an ironmonger In this
town, and I know the prisoner Victory. I remember
his coming to my shop since the 18th of May, that is
since Vincent was committed. He asked me to show
him some pistols, and I told him he was a Chartist,
and I could not let him have them. He then said he
could get them, and the Charter too. He then went
away grumbling from my shop.
This closed the case for the prosecution, and the
prisoner having been cautioned, he said :
I saw the soldiers as I was coming from my work.
I did not know their names, and I asked them where
they came from ? They said they were from Windsor,
and I said they were welcome to Newport. I asked
them if they would accept of a glass, and they thanked
toe very kindly ; we drank two glasses each, and then
walked out of the house. I did not see them again
till I saw them in the street soon afterwards, and
we went to the Wheel door, I only knew the face
of one. I did not know the others. I have not seen
them since, until I saw them here. I have no more
to say.

The Rev. J. Coles then addressed the prisoner, and
said—The Magistrates have considered your case very
attentively, and they are very sorry that any honest man
should in such times as these assist, or endeavour to get
any soldiers to desert, and the Magistrates have made
up their minds to commit you to the next general Quar-
ter Sessions, to take your trial for assisting the soldiers
to desert.

It having been understood that the case of Henry
Frost, the son of John Frost, a very interesting looking
youth, would be brought forward this morning, the Court
was crowded to suffocation.
On the case being called on, Mr. F. Geach, solicitor
of Pont-y-pool, appeared for the prisoner.
Mr. Geach inquired whether any warrant was issued
against the prisoner.

- Mr. Phillips answered that he did not think there was.
Mr. W. T. H. Phelps appeared for the prosecution.
The first witness called was John Frazer, sworn and
examined by Mr. Phelps—l am manager of the Mon-
mouthshire and Glamorganshire bank at Newport. I
was in Newport on Sunday, the 3d of November. I. was
in the street from half-past seven to eight o'clock, in
High-street and part of Corn-street. I called at the
house of Mr. Hawkins, the present Mayor. As I knocked
at the door Henry Frost, the prisoner, passed me. I
said nothing to him, nor him to me. I had heard some-
thing in the course of the day that had led me to Mr.
Hawkins's. In consequence of what I had heard my
attention was drawn to the prisoner at the bar. I fol-
lowed him down a court that leads into the Hope Cha-
pel ; he had on a great coat, buttoned up, and a foraging
cap. I have not the least doubt it was the prisoner.
He seemed to walk and look about him as if b.e was
afraid of being followed. I believe where I saw him was
not the road from Newport to Risca. The !tope Cha-
pel is nearly opposite the Westgate Inn ; that is, on
the road leading from the tramroad to Risca. I was in
Newport on the following morning. I was witness to
the attack made on the Westgate Inn at nine o'clock
on that morning. I saw a large body of persons, armed
with pikes and muskets, wheel round the bottom of
Stow-hill, in front of the Westgate, where they faced
about and halted on the word of command being
given, which I heard very distinctly. There were about
700 or 1,000 marching in order, armed ; thr.re were
about as many more that were not armed. INly house

I saw two more. I did not hear anything else by the
mob, except the word " halt." There were some per-
sons on the corner who took off their hats, and cheeroi
as they turned the corner.
Examined by Mr. Geach—l have known Henry
Frost a twelvemonth at least. I have never ht.d any
conversation with him, I should not have kno en) him
better on Sunday night than Idid, if I had knf,wn him.
A foraging cap is not the cap I have usually seen him
in. He did not run away from me when I, saw him ;
quite the reverse. Hope Chapel is on the; -road leading
to the tramroad to Risca. A person go.ing to Risca
would be taking rather a round about way along the
tramroad. Commercial-street and the line of road
leading to the tramroad is the most densely populated
part of Newport. In Commercial-street there are
several places of worship. The time I saw the prisoner
in High-street was from half-past seven to eight o'clock.
When I knocked at Mr. Hawkins's I did not wait for
the hots to be opened. I followed him about three
of worship.

of the town. I saw some of the persons who composed
the mob wounded. I saw a man fall wounded in the
act of running away. I did not see the prisoner Henry
Frost by the Westgate.
Re-examined—The man wounded had a pike in his
hand. I could not identify the man. I think 1 'have
spoken to Henry Frost once at the counter in the bank,
