attendance was postponed until the pri .soners he
alluded to were before the Court.
The Lord Mayor said that it ‘cas taaloubtedly
necessary that the evidence r,hould be takeli in the
presence of all the accused parties. It appeared to
him that the course suggested by the learned coun-
sel was the one best calculated to forward the ad-
ministration of justice. He supposed the lega) gen-
tlemen who attended on behalf of the prisoners
would not offer any objection to this course be.cmg
taken.
Mr. M‘Dennell intimated that he should not do
so, and Mr. Hope also said that he did not think he
should be justified in opposing a remand of his client
under the circumstances.
Mr. Sleigh said that perhaps it would be advis-
able to take a little additional evidence which only
related to the prisoners now before the Court, as the:
witnesses were in attendance.
George Scott, the detective officer, was then
sworn, and he said that, from information he re-
ceived, !te went on Monday morning last to the
office of a person named Sonotowski, in Lower
Thames-street, and after having some converse.-
tion with him, aizd telling him he was an officer,
they went together to a house in Mitre-square, Ald-
gate, where Sonotowski resided, and he there gave
him the piece of gutta percha that had been pro-
duced. Witness was aware that the prisoner Reich-
berg had been in the habit of going to the office in
Lower Thames-street, and that he had sent a letter-
copying press there a short time before. The piece of
gutta percha was subsequently probed with a knife
and warmed at the fire, and this led to the disco-
very that the engraved plate that had been produced
was concealed within it. On Wednesday morning,
in consequence of l'urtber information he received,
witness went to No, 7, Somerset-street, Aldgate,
where he found a person named Kotowski, and
from what this person I-old him he was induced to
take down a picture, which he carefully examined,
and upon taking out the Wooden back he found con-
cealed between that and the vrint itself 65 impres-
sions of ten-rouble Russian ban.,l{-notes, the whole of
which he now produced, and which, he believed,
were forged.
The witness then produced the picture in which
the discovery was made. It was a full-length
likeness of Garibaldi. He also produced the forged
notes.
Abraham Sonotowski was then sworn. The wit-
ness, who is a Russian Jew, gave his evidence in
very imperfect English. He said—l live at No. 3,
Mitre-square, Aldgate, and I have a pl9ce of busi-
ness at No. 65, Lower Thames-street. My business
is that of an agent for the sale of East India goods
on commission. I know the prisoner Reichberg. I
first met him at Odessa, about four years, ago. He
was a merchant. He first came to me at my office in
Thames-street about twelve months ago. A short
time back he brought to my office the letter-
copying machine that has been spoken about by
the officer. He wanted me to allow him £5 for
it, but I would not do so, and he then told
me that I might keep it until he paid me some
money he owed me,. He owed me £lO, and he
wished me to take the press in part payment.
Mr. Sleigh to the witness—Yon have seen the
piece of gutta percha that has been produced by the
officer, and which you gave to him. Just tell us
how that came into your possession
Witness—That was given to me by the prisoner
Reichberg, a long time ago.
Mr. Sleigh— What do you mean by a long time—
two or three years?
Witness—Oh no, about two or three months.
Mr. Sleigh—How did he come to give it to you?
Witness—He gave it to me as a sample, and I
was to try and dispose of the article for him. He
knew that I dealt in such things, and I understood
that he meant me to use the piece he gave me as to
sample.
Mr. Sleigh—You did not, of course, know any-
thing about what was inside it F
Witness—Oh, no, certainly not. He added that
he understood from the prisoner that he was to keep
the piece of gutta percha until he asked him for it,
and when he handed it to the officer it was in ex-
actly the same state as when he received it from
Reichberg.
Cross-examined by Mr. M'Donnell—Witness did
not ask Reichberg to bring him the gutta percha,
but they were talking about that article, and he un-
derstood that Reichberg had some to dispose of and
he brought him the piece in question as a sample.
He understood from the prisoner that he was to keep
it until he asked for it, and it laid about quite
openly in his room until he gave it to the. officer.
When he was acquainted with the prisoner at
Odessa, he followed the occupation of a setter of dia-
monds, and he also dealt in diamonds.

_ .
Mr. Sleigh then said this was all the evidence he
proposed to lay before the Court on the present oc-
casion, and he should, therefore, merely formally
apply that the prisoners should be remanded to a
future day.
The Lord Mayor, who had paid the most careful
attention to the evidence, said he considered that
there was ample testimony to justify him in acced-
ing to the application, and the prisoners were
accordingly again remanded, and in the course of
the day were conveyed to Newgate.
