The Norwich Mercury says—" This most faithful
and courageous woman, an example to all classes, and
particularly to those of her own class, had, we under-
stand, felt a proper desire to give her testimony without
regard to her own personal safety. However this
feeling could not be otherwise than respected,
its indulgence, of
course depended upon her
state. Fortunately that state was sufficiently
satisfactory to enable her medical attendant
to permit her to give evidence, and a bed
was constructed, to be carried by men in a manner
similar to that of a sedan chair, with a canopy and
curtains. On Wednesday afternoon the wounded girl
left that Hall, the scene of much guilt and so much
mourning, for Norwich. In this palanquin she was
carried by two men, with relays at certain places, and
at every 40 yards a slight stop was made, for the double
purpose of rest to the carriers and for the con-
venience of the patient. A body of county police
accompanied the invalid, and at Hartford-bridge the
cortege was met by
a large body of city police, under
the direction of Mr. Yarington, in case any rush of
persons should have collected. These formed a line
ahead and behind the county police,
who marched at
the side and directly across the road at a distance
from the main body, and thus prevented any evil from
eager curiosity or improper conduct. Thus did Eliza
Chestney enter Norwich to aid in the great purposes
of legal and moral justice. Its effect upon those
who saw this peculiarly interesting procession—and
we have heard several speak of it, women both of high
and low position—was the same ; a sensation of faint-
ness, but also of deep feeling, almost amounting to
silent prayer for the safety of one whose devotedness to
her mistress more than amply compensates for, if it
cannot hide, the shame which attaches to the county for
the great guilt of the perpetrator. Thus passed the pro-
cession to the house of Mrs. Watson, opposite the Shire-
hall, where rooms had been secured— a procession
which will long be remembered, and would be no un-
interesting and certainly a worthy subject for the
pencil of the artist, as the " entry of the good and
faithful servant." We trust that the country univer-
sally, if not the most illustrious in the land, who are
said to taken the deepest interest in the case, will not
suffer this devotion to be unmarked by some memento,
not alone of proper liberality, but of its sense of faith-
ful service, as an example not to be forgotten, but handed
down to hereafter ages as equally worthy to be
ennobled with deeds of glory, by a public testimony.
If Grace Darling, who devoted herself to the safety
of the shipwrecked mariner, be worthy of the record
she received, the devotion and single-heartedness of
Eliza Chestney, the faithful servant, the strong-
minded
and morally courageous woman, ought not to
be lost sight of in these days, but to be held up to the
present and future generations as an example of
which the county .of Norfolk boasts, and of which
there is no other similar one on its records.

EXTENSION OF BRITISH COM-
MERCIAL INTERCOURSE.
Mr. H. Montgomery Martin, who for several years
has been endeavouring to
,induce her Majesty's Go-
vernment to open Japan, Corea, Cochin China, and
Siam to
.British commerce and enterprise, has just
visited some large towns in the manufacturing dis-
dtriircetestioonfs
fromthe northth e
Boardof England,
o f
Trade, in pursuance sua
sa e f
the opinions and views of the, leading merchants and
cn ecrt a ion
manufacturers on the subject. On Monday last h
visited Leeds, the seat of the woollen cloth manufac-
ture, where a number of gent!emen, including
bankers, merchants, and manufacturers, assembled to
confer with him. The Mayor of Leeds having taken
the chair, Mr. Martin entered into a full explanation
of the great national object in view. He stated,
that in the four countries mentioned there are
100,000,000 civilised people with whom we have at
present no intercourse whatever, excepting a very
slight coasting trade, but with whom there is reason to
thatofita bi

a trade directly with those countries, but a trade col-
laterally with the vast empire of China and the adjacent
regions, containing about 367,000,000 of inhabitants,
a number which, added to the 100,000,000 above
mentioned, amounted to more than half the popu-
lation of the globe. The mode in which it was
proposed to carry out the object of opening those
markets Mr. Martin explained to be this :—One
of her Majesty's frigates to be fitted out as a
transport; her guns to be placed in the hold,
to avoid exciting suspicion in ithe minds of the
natives of the countries visited that the vessel
had gone for belligerent purposes; her crew to be
composed of old experienced seamen from the guard-
ships, to be commanded by officers of the Royal
Navy, and to be accompanied by surveying officers,
whose duty it should be to survey ports and lay
down plans for the guidance of merchant vessels on
subsequent occasions ; the vessel to have on board a
cargo of British
manufactures, to be under
the care of
a supercargo in whom the owners
of the goods have confidence; those goods
to be conveyed freight free to the re-
spective ports ; and whatever is received in exchange
for them to be conveyed freight-free home. He also
explained the instructions which would be given to
the envoy having charge of the commission, as to pro-
posing and entering. into treaties of commerce on
behalf of this country. At the conclusion of Mr.
Martin's statement a conversation took place, and
both the object and the mode by which it was pro-
posed to carry it out seemed to be generally approved
by the meeting. Mr. 11. C. Marshall moved—
"That this meeting, having heard the statements of
Mr. M. Martin relative to opening mercantile intercourse
with Japan, Corea, Cochin China, and Siam, are of
opinion that the subject is of great national importance,
and hereby authorise his Worship the Mayor of Leeds
on behalf of this meeting to memorialise the Secretary of
State for the Foreign
Department and the President of
the Board of Trade, praying that her Majesty's Govern-
ment will adopt such measures as may be deemed ad-
visable to establish a traffic with the four above-named
countries, and this meeting have no doubt that a suffi-
ciency of assorted goods would be provided for a ten-
tative commercial mission in Japan, &c., if such goods
were conveyed to the respective countries in one of
her Majesty's vessels for the purpose of trying the
markets and peaceably effecting the object in view.'
Mr. Sykes seconded the resolution, and it passed
unanimously. It was next resolved, on the propo-
sition of Mr. J. iloldforth, seconded by Mr. W.
Brown, banker---,
" That the Members for the borough of Leeds aut ih6
West Riding of Yorkshire be requested to co-operate
with the representatives of other manufacturing districts
in support of the object of the memorial."
Thanks were then voted to Mr. Martin, and the
conference ended.

The Right hon. Sir Robert and Lady Peel and
Miss Peel left Whitehall- gArciens on Thursday evening
for Drayton Manor, Staffordshire, kr the Easter
holidays.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Taunton. April 5.
CROWN COURT.—(Betore Lord DENMAN
James Perry was indicted for having maliciously and
feloniously set fire to five wheat ricks and se►ne bean
ricks, the property of Joseph Duke, at llawlishwake, in
this county, on the 7th of November last.
Mr. Mowbray and Mr. Kingdom were counsel for the
prosecution ; Mr. H. T. Cole defended the prisoner.
It appeared by the evidence, that the prosecutor, Mr.
Duke, is a farmer, living at Dawli,h farm, near Ilminster,
in this county, on the morning of the 7th of November
last, at about half-past two o'clock, he was awakened by
a cry of "fire!" He got up, and saw the pri,oner Perry
under his window ; he was crying " fire!" and fire was
coming from a barn which joined the rick barton. Two
of the wheat ricks were also on fire. Mr. Duke told the
prisoner to go for assistance, and he ran away to do so.
The neighbours soon arrived ; but in spite of their•
efforts the fire extended, and destroyed wheat ricks and
bean and barley ricks to the value of 800/. The evi•
dente by which it was sought to bring home guilt to
the prisoner was purely circumstantial. It appeared
that on the night of the 6th of November, the prisoner,
who was the sou of the prosecutor's carter, was at L.
minster, drinking at several beer-houses until about half-
past twelve; he then went home towards Da.wli,h with
another man, named John Perry, who worked for the
prosecutor. They stayed a short time at a public-house
on the road, and parted at Mr. Duke's barton gate.
This was about two o'clock, and on parting John Perry
told the prisoner that he was going to sleep in the stable.
The prisoner went towards his home, which was about
150 yards from the rick barton of the prosecutor, and
nothing more was seen of him until he roused Mr. Duke
by the cry of fire. He was then entirely dressed. After
the fire he was asked bow he first came to know of the
fire, and he said that he was in bed and that some one
cried fire under his window; that he got up and shook
his brother, who did not not wake; that he then went
down stairs and alarmed Mr. Duke. He then said
that he did not know the person who called him.
The father and mother of the prisoner stated that they
never heard him come into the house that night, and the
brother, who slept in the room in which the prisoner
always slept, also stated the setae thing; but, on cross-
examination of the mother, it appeared that the back-
door was left open by her for the son to come in, and in
the morning the prisoner's bed appeared to have been
laid on.

Mr. Duke swore that the fire could not have been seen
from the prisoner's room.
The only other evidence against him was, that he had
asked the man John Perry, aid others who had been
with him that bight, not to say that he had been to Il-
minster so late.

It was also proved that on the 17th of October he was
at a beer-house, and was speaking of another fire which
had taken place in some cottages near to Mr. Duke's
house. He expressed himself much dissatisfied with the
reward that he got from Mr. Duke for assistance ran
&red by him at that fire. Ile said that old Duke had
only given him Is. 6d. instead of 3s. 6d. which the others
had had; that there would be another fire soon at Daw-
lish, and that he bed-d if he would help old Duke,
if he was burning in it.

On cross•examiration of Mr. Duke, it was elicited
that he had been letting off fire-works that night at about
eight o'clock, but some distance from the barton.
The case foe the prosecution having been closed,
Mr. COLE addressed ihe jury for the prisoner, con-
tending, first, that it was not satisfactorily made out
that the fire was the result of accident produced by the
fire-works. But even if this were not so, still the case
against the prisoner was one of mere suspicion, upon
which it would be unsafe for the jury to act.
Lord DENMAN having summed up, the jury Acquitted
the prisoner.

John Palmer, William Palmer, and John Hill were in-
dicted for bring together, armed, by night on enclosed
laud in the occupation of Sir Peregrine Ackland, for
the purpose of taking game.
Mr. Stone, with whom was Mr. Edwards, conducted
the prosecution; Mr. Esdaile defended Hill, and Mr.
Cox the other two prisoners.
It appeared that on the 9.h of December last, Sir Pere-
gripe Ackland's keepers were out watching, end heard
guns in a wood called Fortfield Wood. They went to
the edge of the cover, and two keepers watched by a
gate, and two others went round to another part of the
wood. The two keepers who stayed by the gate heard
persons whistling to each other in the wood, and shortly
after three persons came out, who the keepers swore were
the three prisoners. One of the keepers went towards
the men, when Hill threw a heavy bludgeon at hie head,
but missed him; he then called out d— his eyes, bring
the gun and shoot the b . The keeper then turned
and ran, and immediately a gun was discharged. He
looked round, and immediately a second gun was dis-
charged at him by William Palmer, the shot of which
struck one of the other keepers, who came up at the time.
The head keeper, fearing some injury to his men from
the firearms of the poachers, ordered them to retire, and
the poachers then made off. The next day search was
made at William Palmer's house, and in the chimney was
found a gun-barrel, and in the kitchen the stock of a gun,
but no ramrod, and ia the field just where William Palmer
tired at the keeper was found a ramrod of a gun.
The keepers were cross-examined at some length as to
the identity of the prisoners, but they swore distinctly to
them and to having known them all well before.
Mr. ESDAILE and Mr. Cox then addressed the jury
for their respective clients, and an alibi was set up for
Hill.
Mr, STONE replied, and the Learned JUDGE having
summed up,
The jury found ell the prisoners Guilty. They were
then sentenced—William Palmer and Hill to twelve
months' and John Palmer to four months' imprisonment,
with hard labour.
NISI PRIUS COURT. (Before Mr. Justice

WILLIAms.)
George Mathias was indicted under the 7th and Bth
Geo. IV., c. 29, s. 49, fur embezzling the sum of 1,500/.
Mr. Cockburn, Mr. Stone, and Mr. El wards conducted
the case for the prosecution; Mr. Crowder and Mr.
Poulden appeared for the defence.
The prosecution had been instituted by a Mr. Spicer
and Mr. James, the executor and executrix to the will
of Mr. Robert James, formerly an attorney practising at
Glastonbury, but who has been dead for some y,ars. It
appeared that shortly before Mr. James's death ho en-
tered into partnership with the defendant in this case, by
which it was stipulated that Mr. James's practice should
be carried on by the defendant for five years, and the
profits shar,cl between him and Mr. James's family;
these articles of partnership having been entered into
when Mr. James had given up all hopes of lite. Shortly
after they were signed, Mr. James divd. The defendant
was then employed by the executors and executrix of
Mr. James's will to wind up his estate, with strict in-
junctions to pay all money received into the bank of
Messrs. Stuckey; to the account of the exe-
cutors. Mr. James had insured his life in one
office in a sum of 2,0001. odd, and in another in the
sum of 1,5001. The former sum had been received by
the defendant on behalf of the executors, and had
been then paid into the bank in accordance with
tho directions g:ren. The other sum was also received
by the defendant, and at the time the necessary autho-
rity was sigued by the executors for this purpose a
written paper was given to the defendant, requiring him
to pay this sum into the bank, to the credit of the exe-
cutors. Instead of d ing this he paid it into his own
credit, and the consequence was, the executors lost
about 1,1001 of the amount, the defendant having subse-
quently become bankrupt.
It was elicited in the course of the trial, by the defen-
dantTOonnsel, that Mr. James, at the time of his death,
was indebted to Stuckey's bask in a sum exceeding
5,000/.; and that when the product of the first insurance
was paid in one of the partners had informed the defen-
dant, that though paid in the name of the executors they
should retain the amount, and not allow it to be again
taken from the bank, but set it off against Mr. James's
debt. It was also shown that a portion of the 1,500/. had
been employed by the defendant in liquidating the debts
due from James's estate.

At the close of the case for the prosecution, the
Learned JUDGE put it to the jury whether these two
facts were not sufficient to reader it doubtful whether
he had failed to pay the money into the bank, " in
violation of good faith," which is what he must have
done under the statute upon which the prosecution was
founded, in order to sustain this indictment.

The jury acquiesced in the opinion expressed by the
Court, and returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

NORTH WALES ClRCUlT.—Chester, April 5.
(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELE.)
SAINTER V. FERGUSON.—CRIM. CON.
This was an action for adultery with the plaintiff's
wife. The damages were laid at 5,0001.
Mr. Evans, Q.C., and Mr. Welsby appeared for the
plaintiff; and Mr. Chilton, Q.C., and Mr. Townsend for
the defendant.
Mr. Evans opened the case for the plaintiff.
The plaintiff is a medical man residing at Maccles-
field ar.d the defendant was his assistant. The facts are
detailed in the evidence.
William M. Wilkinson—l am plaintiff's attorney, and
have known plaintiff and his wife nearly twenty years.
Mrs. Sainter was the only surviving daughter of a Dr.
I)ow. Ia 1833 plaintiff was in London, walking the
hospitals. lie was Dr. Dow's guest for a few months.
I produce the examined copy of the certificate of mar•
riage of the plaintiff and his wife. They went to live
at Macclesfied. I have visited them. They appeared
to live on affectionate terms. They had one child, a
son, now thirteen or fourteen. Mrs. Sainter was a
very fond mother. In consequence of a letter I re-
ceived from plaintiff, I went down to Macclesfield on
the 26th of August. I found Mr. and Mrs. Sainter in
a dreadful state of mind. I called on the defendant
on the Sunday morning, August 27. I told him I
bad called at the desire of Mrs. Sainter ; that she had
confessed to me what had taken place between them, and
of course she could not be permitted to remain in her
husband's house. He said, " Confessed what? I don't
know what you mean; what are you alluding to?" I
said, " She has confei,sed all to me within this half hour,
and it is impossible to conceive that a woman would ad-
mit herself guilty, if she is not guilty." He said again,
"I don't know what you are alluding to, what has all
this to do with me?" I said, " Oh yes, you know very
well." Then he said, " I don't admit anything; but
what do you want me to do?" I said, " To leave the
town: It is not proper that you and she should be in
the sattid town together." He said, " I have just been
appointed to the club; how can you expect me to
. !gave?" 1 told him he could not be permitted to practice
in the tO;Alti; because it was contrary to hiA agreement.
I entreated him to leave the town, and said Mrs. Sainter
had beggtct la,
- to express her wick that he would
'^ shiel.ded from public rumour
leave e might b
, that sh - i to sere her; " but as
He told me he would do a great oe.. - --1 the mis-
she has confessed all to you and her lansoa.-, . T
chief is done, for how can they live together again?" .s.
said, "Indeed it is a dreadful busin'ss, but for the sake
of plaintiff's child, and the wife with whom he has lived 1
for feurteen years, it is possible that, after some absence, •

they may live together in another town distant from
re." He saict," But if I stay in the to wn, do you think
Sainter will get a divorce? If he would, I will say at
once I will not leave." I said, " I have not come to bar-
gain with you about that, but to ask you to leave the
town." We had some talk about the agreement. I told
him if he wished to stay in town I should get An injunc-
tion to restrain him from practising in Macclesfield in
about a fortnight, therefore he had far better go at once.
I felt faint, and asked him to get me a glass of water,
for I was unwell. I said, "I knew her when she was a litle
girl in her father's house, and I would rather have followed
her to the grave, as I did her brother a short time before,
than this should have happened." He said, "It is hard
lines for you to bear, but I am not so much to blame as
you think I am; fur I assure you I resisted her as lot g as
I c•iuld." We appointed a meeting at five the next day,
to receive his answer. He said Sainter had behaved m
a very ungentlemanly way to him, and that he (de•
fendant) was of so resentful a disposition, that if any
one injured him he never forgave them; therefore, though
he might be ruined by law proceedings, he would ruin
plaintiff too, and injure Lirn in every way he could.
Cross-examined by Mr. Cmurox—Mrs. Sainter is very
little more than thirty; she is three or four years younger
than me, Mr. Sainter is about three years older than
his wife. I have brought an action against defendant for
5001—the penalty of the agreement not to practice; it
siands next fur trial. We tailed to i,btain an injunction;
hut the matter was ordered to stand over, with leave to
bring an action at law. I first saw Mr. Sidebottom, of
Macclesfield, a fortnight ago.
Re-examined—l heard from plaintiff that his maid-
servant, Mary Taylor, was with child by the defendant.
The plaintiff gave me an intercepted 'eaer from de-
fendant to Mrs. Sainter. (Letter was produced.) It
stated that he had denied, and should deny, their
criminal intimacy. Some lines of verse were on another
piece of paper.

John Gaskill, Big. —I live at Ingersleigh, and am a
magi‘trate. I have known plaintiff ever since he came to
Macclesfield. I know Mrs. Sainter; I have frequently
met plaintiff and his wife in society. I always considered
them a very happy couple.
William T. Ardern—l am a surgeon in Macclesfield,
and have been intimate with plaintiff and his wife. When
my se,s living she and I were frequent visitors at
plaintiff's house. They livid happily together. I went
to the plaintiff's house early one morning in August. I
found him in a state of great excitement. Mrs Sainter
was there. She had been crying. I took a portmanteau
with me because I understood I was to accompany Mrs.
Sainter to Fleetwood, on her way to Scotland. I called
at Mr. Sidebottom's the same morning. Whilst there,
Mary Taylor came. She brought him a letter. Is was
open, and I read it. There was a ring in the letter. We
took it out. The letter was re-sealed, and given back
to the girl. I don't know what eventually became of
the ring. Mr. Sidebottom had it when I last saw it.
John Gawthorpe—l live at Moberly, near kt!celes-
field. I carried on business in Macclesfield as a drug-
gist. My house was nearly opposite to Mr. Saireer's.
From my shop I could see the window of plaintiff's sur-
gery. I could see the staircase window, and the cham-
ber window looking into the yard where the surgery was.
I remember the defendant coming to Macclesfield. Be-
fore he came I had seen Mrs. Sainter going to take 114 r
walk; she used to go occasionally from the front and
back door. After defendant came, I observed a differ-
ence; she would go from the front round to the back be-
fore she took her walk. I have seen her step in at the
back door, and immediately come out again, and go her
walk. I once saw her speck to defendant. I have seen
defendant go in the same direction' as Mrs. Sainter. I
have seen them walking out down the fields on the Prest-
bury-road, arm-in-arm. I have seen Mrs. Sainter at the
chamber•window, motioning to some one in the surgery.
I have seen a woman and girl come to the surgery door,
and knock; I saw Mr. Sainter go off on his pony before
they came. The. woman and girl were unable to get into
the surgery for some time. The defendant came to the
door.

Cross-examined by Mr. CHILTON—The motioning I
have named I saw not long previous to June, but not
before May. Mrs. Sainter is a " passable lady," about
thirty.
George Sidebottom—l am an artist. I became inti-
mately acquainted with the plaintiff and his family. I
observed a difference in matters about a month after de-
fendant came to Macclesfield; great attention was paid
to Mrs. Saititer, more than I thought was proper. I taw
Mrs. Sainter in the yard the first Sunday in April. She
asked defendant it he was ready for church. He did
not reply, but embraced Mrs. &linter. I went off through
the yard door. After this I went less frequently to
plaintiff's. I have seen Mrs. Sainter and defendant to-
gether since. Once, passing the breakfast room door, I
saw defendant seated iu plaintiff's chair smoking. I was
one Tuesday in June at Gawthorpe's shop. I saw Mrs.
Sainter at the window; she was motioning to some one
below. I saw defendant three-quarters of au hour after-
wards at my lodging. In cons. queece of what I ob-
served, I followed- Mrs. Sainter on SW ednetday or Thurs-
day in the third week in June. I saw her leave the
house. She went in the direction of the Town-fields,
along Boughey-lane. I was in the field adjoining. There
is a plantation adjoining the lane. When she approached
this, she slackened her pace. She went through a gap
into the plantation. I saw defendant approach her; he
was behind the edge. lie said something to her. He
came to the gap, looked up the lane and down. He re-
turned to Mrs. Sainter. The witness then went into
particulars which clearly proved the adultery. Mrs.
Sainter went off in the direction of the house. I fol-
lowed and overtook Mrs. Sainter in the town, and spoke
to her. She seemed strange, and "put about." It
was some weeks after this that I mentioned my suspi
cions to Mr. Sainter. I told him Mrs. Sainter had been
seen in the fields, embraced by the arm of a lover. Be-
fore defendant came plaintiff and his wife lived together
very comfortably; he was everything that is kind to her.
Cross-examined by Mr. CHILTON—I often dined at
plaintiff's house. I dined with them regularly on Sun-
days. After the occurrence in the plantation a shyness
arose, and I was not invited to plaintiff's as before. I
have taken tea with plaintiff alone once since. I hive
seen defendant write, The two papers produced are in
his handwriting.
Mary Taylor (the servant in the house) was called,
but not examined, Mr. Chilton observing that after the
evidence which had been given he would not deny the
act of adultery.
Catherine Rawatone—This witness spoke to the affec-
tionate terms on which plaintiff and his wife lived. She
accompanied plaintiff's wife by the railway to Fleet-
wood, on her way to Scotland. The plaintiff received
letters from his wife, but he returned them unopened.
In October plaintiff's wife came there, and plaintiff had
high words with her. Plaintiff sent her away in his
own carriage.
This closed the case for the plaintiff.
Mr. CHILTON addressed the jury in mitigation of
damages. In the course of his speech he stated (and
the fact, he s_id, was highly honourable to the princi-
pality) that, though he had been a great number of
years in the professian, regularly attending the Welsh
circuits, he had never before been engaged in an action
for adultery. He contended that the object of this ac-
tion was not so much to seek reparation for the injury
sustained, as to drive away the defendant from competing
professionally with the plaintiff in Macclesfield; that the
wife, though not away, is a contenting party to the pro-
ceedings, and that she would return to her husband, and
lire with him.

The Learned JUDGE summed up, and
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages
3501.

SAME V. SAME.
This was an action between the same parties, brought
to recover the penalty of an agreement which had been
made between them, restraining defendant from practis-
ing in Macclesfield.
The breach by defendant was proved, and
The jury, under the direction of the Judge, returned
a verdict fur the plaintiff—Damages, 5001.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
L.43113ETH.
On Thursday evening, at a late hour, owing to the
absence of the solicitor for the prosecution, the Rev,
Job, George Hounsfield, chaplain to the Earl of Airlie,
was placed at the f'lop's bar, before the Hon. G. C. Nor-
ton, for further examination on two distinct charges, the
one with stealing four silver spoons and other property
Irons his ready-furnished cottage at Norwood, and the
other with obtaining 200/. from a Mr. Masters by fraud
and false representations.
The attorney for the prosecution said, that with re-
spect to the first charge, namely, that of stealing the
silver spoons and other articles belonging to Mr. Curtis,
from whom the prisoner rented a ready-furnished cot-
tage, he should leave its disposal in the hands of his
Worship; but as regarded the second charge, of obtain-
ing 200/. from Mr. Masters, he had some additional evi-
dence to offer. The difficulty, however, of producing
the required testimony, from the principal witnesses re-
siding in Yorkshire, was considerable; but the prose-
cutor bad determined, notwithstanding the trouble end
expense, to proceed with the case, and as his Worship
would no doubt feel it to be one which should be sent to
another tribunal, it would be his (the solicitor's) duty, at
the end of the present examination, to apply for a further
remand.

A certificate, bearing the official seal of the York dis-
trict Insolvent Court was put in, to show that the pro-
perty upon the deeds, relating to which the prisoner had
obtained from Mr. Masters, in 1847, 2004, had beer,
disposed of in 1841 by the assignees fur the benefit of his
(insolvent's) creditors, and that they had full power to
do so under the Ist and 2d Victoria, cap. 110, se. 36
and 37.
It was also urged that this fact must have been per-
fectly known to the prisoner at the time, as in the year
1840 he brought an action at law against Mr. Drury,
the assignee appointed to his insolvency, and also against
Mr. Copeland, the gentleman who purchased his interest
in the property, in which he signally failed; and that,
therefore, his representations to Mr. Masters, and by
which alone he obtained his money, were false, and
amounted to a fraud.
