as they had, he should have directed a prosecution him-
self.

Mr. Clarkson did not wish to enter into any unseem7y
squabble in that court ; and, as the case must be sent
elsewhere, he would ask his worship to reduce the
amount of bail, for he would submit that it was rather
excessive.
Mr. Paynter, in stating that he could not lessen the
amount of bail, namely, two sureties in 4001. each, and
the defendant in 8001., observed that he had no adverse
feelings of any kind against the Roman Catholics, and
that he was assured they knew perfectly well ; but the
case was of such paramount importance to the social
welfare of the country that if it was passed over others
might occur, and the whole country would Very soon
be in a state of anarchy and revolution.
After some conversation respecting the time when Mr.
Strowther, sen., would be able to attend to complete the
case, it was arranged that it should stand over until after
the ensuing sessions at the Central Criminal Court, and
that the rev. defendant should be sent for trial at the
following sessions.
Mr. Paynter then adjourned the case for eight days,
and accepted the same bail for his appearance on Wed-
nesday (to-morrow) week. The magistrate also said
that none of the witnesses need attend on that day, as
the case would be only formally gone into for another
remand. •
The bail was then enlarged, and the defendant im-
mediately retired.
