(Continued from yesterds).)
Mr. Paynter, Trinity College, Cambridge, was
examined at great length by Mr. Brand as to the
nature of the mortgages of his property. Witness,
in answer to questions from Mr. Brand, said he never
recollected a pretty Servant maid at Camberwell to
►which he (Mr. Brand) alluded s neither did he know
of one in Princes-street. Had never declared that
Mr. Brand hail spent 45,000/. in his life. Had
stated that his income was between 2,0004 and
.3,0001. a year. 'Witness believed that Mr. Brand did
not care for his child, because he thought it was
not his.

By Mr. Sergennt TADDY—Witness considered
Mr. Brand had, during his life, been subject to
strong mental excitement.

By- the CHIEF CbstsussloNErt—Frotn witness's
own observation, he should say that from May, or
the latter end of April, Mr. Brand was not of sound
mind. He considered the extrEvaguncies of Mr.
Brand to have arisen from a disordered mind.
The enuci CONHISSIONER—You have heard and
seen Mr. Brand to.day ; do yon think he is now in
sound mind ? Witness—Judging from his previous
manners, I should think he was of unsound mind.
_ _

By Ale. rejection Of me as a
friend, without any cause or quarrel, ledrne to this
conclusion.

Mr. Marshant, solicitor, was then called in, and
examined by Mr. Serjeant kIIOWILMT.
Brand tea years.--Mr. Brand-called on him some
time in May, and asked him if he did not recollect
some particulars of an altercation he (Mr. B.) had
had with a French officer at Bordeaux. Mr. Brand
hoped be would recollect the transaction as his ho-
nour was concerned. He wished also that witness
would recollect the conversation he said witness had
had with the Duke of Wellington, when his 'Grace
had said, calling him (witness) by his Christian
name, " Dennis, it is all nonsense; Brand has be-
haved very well." Witness denied ever having had
any conversation with the Duke upon the subject,
or that he knew his Grace, or ever dined with him.
Nit. Brand went on to compare the pictures in Suf-
folk-street Gallery with the women with whom he
(Mr. B.) had been connected. Mr. Brand pressed
witness to go and see them, and witness promised
to do so, wishing to get Mr. Brand out of the house,
not feeling very comfortable hr his presence. Air.
Brand spoke of a conspiracy against himself, and
could not account how those pictures got into the
gallery; he said it was done to expose him. The
instant Mr. Brand left the room he had written to
a mutual friend, expressive of his feeling that Mr.
B. was insane.

In answer to a question, witness declared tha
he had never said he knew the Duke of Wellington
or that he had dined with him.

ner.

By the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.-qhe impresaion
on witness's mind was (if he was sober at the time)
that Mr. Brand was of unsound mind. It was a se-

dons thing to give an opinion upon the atatent„Anp,
man's mind.
By Mr. Brand—Witness did receive a 13011604
from Government. He was a son of General Le
Marshanr, who was in the army, and was killed at
Salamanca. His father was intimate with.the Duke
of Wellington; but he had no acquaintance with hit
Griee.
Mr. Barnard, a member of the Marylebone
Cricket Club, was examined as to some extraordi-
nary expressions made use of by Mr. Brand on the
ground. Witness stated that Mr. B. had, without
provocadon, called the lion curable Secretary of the
Club u thief, alias a enward,,:or a a--; and that
he wa., ready to fight with pistols across the table
with the Secretary. Wittieo
