melted is offered at 39s to 39s Gd nett cash, yet the sales
made have been of little moment; the supply is far snore than
sufficient for the wants of the trade. Other sorts of Tallow
are depressed in value. At auction 209 casks of New South
Wales were sold at 34s 6d to 39s 3d for low to fine, and 650

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
The House met to-day at a Quarter before Five.
ROYAL ASSENT.

The royal assent was given by Commission to the
Mutiny Bill, the Marine Mutiny Bill, the Indemnity
Bill, the Larceny Acts Amendments Bill, and Waldo's
Divorce Bill. _

The Lords Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor,
the Earl of Shaftesbury, and Lord Campbell.
MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS.
Messengers from the Commons requested a copy of the
report of the select committee on the Irish poor-law.
The LORD C El A NCELLOR informed the messengers
that their Lordships would send back an answer by mes •
sengera of their own.
Several Bills were also brought up from the Commons
and read a first time.

Earl FITZ WILLIAM presented a petition from Wex-
ford against the rate in aid.
Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from the
county of Elgin against running railway trains ou a
Sunday.
Lord STANLEY presented a petition from Cork,
praying for the imposition of a duty of ss. per quarter
on all foreign corn imported.
The Earl of ROSEBERRY presented a petition from
Edinburgh praying for a repeal of the game laws.
Lord MONTEAGLE moved for certain returns re-
lating to the working of the Irish Poor Law which were
ordered. The Noble Lord also presented a petition
from Cork in favour of the Irish Fisheries Bill.
UNCLAIMED DIVIDENDS.
Lord BROUGHAM complained that there was no
list of unclaimed dividends published as relating to Ire-
land, although there were in England.
Lord MONTEAGLE said that when he 'was Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer he had, on the representation
of certain parties in the City, ordered the publication of
the list of unclaimed dividends, aul although the publi-
cation of that list had forwarded the views of Mr.
Joseph Ady, he did not think that a sufficient reason
to prevent the publication in Dublin of a list of un-
claimed Irish dividends.
PETTY SESSIONS BILL.
On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL, the report on
the Petty Sessions Bill was brought up.
PETITION..
The Earl of CARLISLE presented a petition from
Selby in favour of international arbitration.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition
in favour of the liberation of Mr. Shore.

NORTH OF ITALY.
Lord BROUGHAM urged upon the Government the
necessity of adopting the advice he was about to give to
them—to leave the question of mediation between Sar-
dinia and Austria entirely to France. He thought the
empty bluster of the Natonal Assembly, in say-
ing they would adopt ineastires for preserving the
integrity of Piedmont was nonsensical. The integrity
of Piedmont W 35 no more in danger than was that of
the integrity of Russia. Austria never intended to enter
Piedmont and to destroy its integrity; and ho was glad
this country had not followed the example of France in
showing this undue and improper jealousy of Austria.
He was anxious to state that it was utterly untrue, and
absolutely false, what had been stated in the
reports, that the observations which he had
made of the universal rejoicing with which the
victory of Radetzky had been received with cries of
" Oh! oh!" and "No! no;" the sounds uttered were of
quite another character, and had, probably, been mis-
understood.

SPIRITS (IRELAND) BILL.

this Bill passed through Committee.

the Easter recess, to move an address to her ajesty
with respect to national education in Ireland.
NEW METROPOLITAN BOROUGH.

bington, in order to their being formed into a borough
to send Members to Parliament.

ing up the report on the Navigation Bill till Thursday,
the 19th instant.

IRISLI COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
Mr. B. 0.-BORNE save notice that on this day fort-
night he should submit a motion to the House on the
subject of the equity jurisdiction of the Irish Court of
Exchequer.

RATE IN AID.
Mr. HAMILTON wished to ask his Honourable
Friend the Member for Derry whether. it was his in•
tention to propose the amendment, of which.he had given
notice, to the rate of 100,006/. for the relief of Irish
distress in the precise language in which it stood on
the paper, or whether he should make such alterations
in it as to enable those who thought the money ought to
be raised by Imperial taxation to support it.
Mr. HERBERT said it was certainly his intention
to propose the amendment, but he should make some
verbal alterations in it to meet the case mentioned by
his Hon. Friend. The amendment, however, would
still remain the same in principle.
SICILY.
Mr. URQUHART said he had moved for some
papers about a month ago relative to Foreign Affairs,
which were promised to be produced in the course of the
ensuing week. As they had not, however, been forth-
coming, he wished to know when they would.
Lord PALMERSTON asked what the papers re-
lated to?

•
Mr. URQUHART replied Sicily.
Lord PALMERSTON said the papers would be ready
in a few days.

PUBLIC BUSINESS.
Lord JOIIN RUSSELL intimated that after Easter,
if the private business, was over by half-past four, public
business would be commenced at that hour.

THE ADJOURNED DEBATE.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that as the wish of the
House bad been expressed in a way that could not be
mistaken, for the resumption of the adjourned debate,
he trusted that those Gentlemen who had notices on the
paper for this evening would have the kindness to post.
pone their motions, in order that the debate might be re-
sumed, and, he hoped, concluded to•night.—(Cries of
"Hear, hear," from all sides of the I louse.)
ROYAL ASSENT.
Mr. 'SCOTT was beginning to state his feelings upon
the subject, when the House was summoned to hear the
royal assent given to several Bills (for which see Lords'
report).

COLONIES.
Upon the return of the SPEAKER,
Mr. SCOTT said, in reply to the suggestion of the
Noble Lord opposite (Lord John Russell), that he should
postpone his motion, which stood on the paper to-night,
respecting the Colonies, in order that the adjourned
debate on the Rate in Aid Bill should come on, he had
to state that he thought it was now neatly time
that the colonies should not on every occasion be called
upon to give way. This was the last night before
Easter when he understood the question could come for-
ward, and he had given way more than once before. He
was at the same time aware of the importance of the
House coming to a decision upon the adjourned
debate before Easter, but as the Noble Lord
had given him distinctly to understand that the report
upon the navigation laws, which was fixed for the 19th,
would not occupy long, and that his motion should come
on immediately afterwards on that day, ho was perfectly
willing to give way this evening.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, as the Hon. Member
had given way, he should ask the other Members
who had motions upon the paper to do the same.
Mr. ANSTEY said he should be happy to postpone
his motion until that day fortnight.—(Hear, hear.)
Lord J. RUS4LL suggested that the Speaker should
call upon the different Members who had motions upon
the piper to state whether they were willing to postpone
them.

Sir R. PEEL thought that it would be inconvenient to
bring on the motion on Thursday, and suggested that
iviJuday would be a better day.
Mr. SCOTT said it was a matter of total indifference
to bun whether the motion came on on a Monday or on
a Thursday. lie would, on the same day, take the
motion with regard to the grants to Ireland.
Mr. SCOTT would not be willing to give way unless
the money grant to Ireland wus also to give way on the
night which he v,ished to bring forward his motion.
Mr. ANSTEY would certai❑ly bring on his motion on
the night to which he had agreed to postpone it, for it
had already been often postponed.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. POULETT SCROPE thought it rather hard to
be squeezed out in that way.—(Laughter.) He would
propose that every Member who had introduced a Bill
this session should be at liberty, with a view to save
time, to have it printed and circulated among the
Members.

Mr. SCOTT asked whether his motion on the colo-
nies would be taken before the Committee on Supply.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied the motion on the
colonies would he taken first.
In reply to a question from Mr. P. SCROPE,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he had stated that the
Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. . Scott) was to give
way on the understanding that the other Members
who had notices on the paper to give way in respect to
their motions—(Hear, hear.) Besides, the Hon. Mem-
ber (Mr. P. Scrope) could not bring in his Bill to-night.
Mr. P. SCROPE would withdraw his motion, though
he thought it was very bad treatment.
Mr. LOCK was precisely in the same position. He had
a Bill against which a great many petitions had been
presented; and he found the petitioners had not clearly
anticipated what the Bill its.lf proposed to enact. It
was a serious thing to present petitions against a Bill
without the public knowing what was the nature of that
Bill. The Bill which he proposed to introduce was
to compel railway companies to attach carriages to all
post-office trains travelling on railways on Sundays. The
petitioners had gone on the assumption that he was
seeking to compel companies to put on additional trains.
—(Hear, hear.) It would very much prejudice him
(Mr. Lock) on this occasion if the Bill was not
printed and circulated among the Members, as he
was prevented from bringing it on tonight.—(" Hear,
hear," and cries of " Move.") He (Mr. Loch) would
therefore be glad to move that the Bill be printed.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL asked if be understood the
Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Loch) to object to withdraw his
motion?
Mr. COWAN would recommend the Bill to bo with-
drawn altogether.—(Laughter.)
Mr. LOCH felt, as a new Member, that it would be
indiscreet in him to oppose the general feeling of the
House. He trusted, however, that the same facility
would be afforded to him as to his Hon. Friend (Mr
Scott (opposite in reference to the time when his Mr.
W. Loch's bill should be brought on.
COUNTY FINANCIAL BOARDS.
Mr. FIUME postponed, until afcer the orders of the
day, his motion en the paper for a Bill to establish
County Financial Boards for the administration of
County Rates and Expenditure in England and Wales.
LEGAL EDUCATION.
Mr. F. E WART postponed his motion, which was on the
paper for a return respecting the proceedings taken to
promote legal education by the Inns of Court.
PETITION OF MR. HOLDSWORTH.
Sir JOHN Y. BULLER also postponed his motion
for a Select Committee to into and report upon the pe-
tition of Arthur Howe Holdsworth, Esq., which was
presented upon the 28th day of March last, relating to
his invention for cooling the engine rooms of steam
vessels.

CHAMBERLAIN OF THE- CITY.
Mr. DIVETT likewise postponed his motion for a
return of all moneys paid to the Chamberlain of the city
of London by persons either nominated or elected to the
office of Sheriff of London and Middlesex, with the date,
cause, and amount of each payment, and the names and
addresses of the respective payers, from the Ist of Jan-
uary, 1800, to the present time; stating also the amount
received in each year, the sum total, and the purposes to
which the money was applsed by the Corporation of
London.
THE QUEEN OF PORTUGAL AND DESERTERS.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL postponed until after
the orders of the day his motion for a Bill for giving
eflEct to the stipulations of a treaty between her Majesty
and the Queen of Portugal for the apprehension of
certain deserters ; and also for a Bill to facilitate the
administration of justice at the Central Criminal Court
and at sessions of the peace in and near the metropolis.

-SUPPLY.
Mr. PARKER brought up the report of the Com-
mittee of Supply, which was a2reep to, after some ob-
servations from

Mr. HUME, who pressed upon the attention of the
Government the immediate printing and circulating
among Members the report relative to the proceeding
with the new House of Commons.
POOR-LAW, IRELAND—RATE IN AID BILL.
Mr. J. O'CONNELL then resumed the adjourned
debate on the second reading of this Bill. He deprecated
the taunts' that had been thrown out by Hon. Members
of that House against Irish Members and the people of
the south and western parts of Ireland. If such taunts
were continued upon such a question as the 6d. Rate in
Aid Bill, Irish Member and the people of the South
and West parts of Ireland would feel inclined
to test their loyalty with those who de-
scended so low as to throw out such unneces-
sary insinuations. He agreed with the Honourable

WHE STANFIELD-HALL
MURDERS.

TRIAL OF RUSH.

(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)

NORWICH, MONDAY.
(Continued from our Third Edition of last night.)
Prisoner—Did you make any memorandum of the evi-
dtnce you have given against me? Witness—Yes, I did;
about two days after what I have stated occurred.
Re-examined—l showed the boots I found in the back
kitchen to Emily Sandford. They did not open at the
side with a strap behind.
Robert Thompson was here recalled and cross-exa-
mined by the prisoner—I have been examined twice be-
fore now on this matter, and was only a yard or two
behind Pont when he arrested you.
Prisoner—Did you search the closet? Witness—No;
I stood outside.
Prisoner—l want his depositions read, my I, )rd, on that
subject, to see whether or not they are consistent.
'the depositions were read, and it was there stated
that witness had searched the closet.
Witness explained that he was prevented searching
the closet by the box it contained, but that he assisted
in searchirg the box. He could not say what had passed
when the wigs were discovered, as he had not seen them.
The charges were first drawn from the guns at the co-
roner's inquest.

The prisoner subjected this witness, like the preceding
one, to a long examination on minute and trifling points,
evidently for the purpose of picking out some discrepancy
between his evidence and the depositions made by him
before the coroner and magistrate.
Prisoner—Have you not sworn that the closet door
was broken open? Witness—No, I have not.
The prisoner read from the depositions of the witness
a passage in which he mentions incidentally that the
door had been broken open.
The JUDGE said, that the prisoner would have the
benefit of the contradiction, such as it was.
. John Mortar, of the county police force, said that
when told that the two Messrs. Jermy were killed, and
that he was arrested, the prisoner said, " Good God ! I
hope they don't suspect me."
Prisoner—l hope Mr. Cann won't communicate to the
other witnesses what passes here.
The JUDGE—Mr. Canu lam sure understands his duty
too well to do se.

Witness—The prisoner asked me when the murder
took place; but neither I nor any one else told him. A.
little after, however, the prisoner observed that he under-
stood it had taken place about eight o'clock. I imme-
diately observed, "From whom did you hear that, as
you are the first person who has named any time in this
house ?" He replied that he had heard one of the
policemen say so; but no one had made such a statement
to him in my presence, though I was with him up to that
time from the moment of his arrest. He also observed
that he would have been there about the time the mur-
der happened unless he had been told that young Jermy
was at home. Young J'.:rmy was a great enem of his,
but the old gentleman and he were better frieny ds than
they had been.
Prisoner—Have you seen Pont since he left the court?
Witness—Yes ; but what he said had no relation to any
evidence I had to give.
This is a fair instance of the contradictions into which
the prisoner sought to lead this witness like the two pre-
ceding ones in the course of his cross-examination.
Stephen Amos, inspector of police at Norwich, corrobo-
rated the evidence of the last witness as to what was
said,by_the prisoner about the time of the murder, his
conversation with the police at Potash, and on the way to
Bridewell. The witness produced a shot bag and powder
flask found in the drawer, and a shot belt, dark lantern, and
powder flask found in the closet of the prisoner's bed-
room at Potash. farm. The carpet bag which he pro-
duced was not in the closet, but the bedroom, and it was
empty. There was also a carpet bag full of papers
under the 4d. w :lambing at the time for fire

arms, and ho examined the bag for that purpose, but he
did not recollect hearing the prisoner say anything as to
the importance of the mere contained therein. He
had seen Pent since he It ft the rooir, but bad not spo-
ken to him.
By tho JUDGE—The conversation as to the time of
the murder took place after the search in the bedroom.
Thomas Osborne, policeman at Norwich, said, that
before breakfast, on the morning after the murder,
the prisoner asked him which was the man who told
him whin the affair happened. He replied, that no
such remark had been made down stairs. At break-
fast with Emily Sandford, the prisoner said to
her, " I urn accused of murdering Jermy.
It is that fellow Clarke who has done it, but you and
Savory can clear me. He washed my boots at halt-
past five, and you know I didn't go out." After
pause he said, " Have they been asking about me?"
And Emily Sandford said, "Yes; the stout man d ewe
stairs has been asking if you were out last night, and I
said that you were away a quarter of an hour." The
prisoner replied, " I was nit away more than ten mi-
nutes, and you know I had my slip-shoes on." She
said, " I don't know that you had; I did not see you
put your boots on." He observed, "I hove ho doubt I
shall be suspected, because we have lived on such bad
terms. Of late the old 'un and I have been better
friends, but the son is my bitterest enemy." He re
peated, " lam sure some one told me the time when th
affair happened," and he several times asked for his cloak
to put it on.
Cross-examined by the prisoner—The words which I
heard you use on being arrested, as near as I can recol
het, were, " Good God ! I hope I am not suspected, it's
rather a serious offence."
A slight discrepancy arose between the witness's evi-
dence and his depositions before the magistrates and
coroner, relating to the fact of his having seen the pri-
soner going up-stairs at the Potash-farm.
Henry Hubbersty, superintendent of county police,
said—l was at Potash farm-house on the let of Decem-
ber from twelve to four o'clock in the afternoon. I went
up into the prisoner's bedroom, and found there the box
which I produce. It was shut, and on opening it, besides
papers, I found a widow's cap, some old papers, a wig
with whiskers attached, another wig with long hair, a
woman's front, and a travelling cap. When the prisoner
put it on before Eliza Chestney, he asked me to assist
him, and I said, " No, put it on yourself." He said
nothing about its belonging to him. He also put on a
cloak at the same time.
Prisoner—Did you hear what evidence Watson gave
on Tuesday night in the brown parlour? Witness—No;
I got to Stanfield-hall at three o'clock on Wednesday
evening, and left it to take you to Bridewell.
Prisoner—Did you, on your oath, hold any communi-
cation with Watson or Emily Sandford on that occasion?
Witness—No, with neither, except getting the latter a
cup of tea when she complained of its being cold.
Prisoner—The evidence given by this witness is so
different from that which went before that I shall just
go on.
Witness—Shortly after I went to Potash on Friday
I found Emily Sandford sitting alone in a room, and said
to her, " bid you speak the truth yesterday?" She burst
into tears, and said " No." None of those who were with
me said anything to her. I then drew up a written state-
ment of what she said. It was not signed by her; and I
gave it to Mr. Cann. Arrangements were then made for
examining her a second time at the Castle.
The prisoner here asked the witness what did Emily
Sandford say about the papers?
The JUDGE—You cannot ask that question.
Prisoner—l ask nothing but what is consistent with
the ends of justice.
The JUDGE—You will excuse me, sir, you have no
right to ask one witness what another has said, except
to contradict something which has been stated by the
latter. I have been exceedingly reluctant to stop you,
but nine-tenths of the questions you ask are irregular.
Cross-examination continued--When witness got in,
there were several papers lying on the table; no
one but Mr. John Cann and Miss Sandford were there
at the time. When the closet was opened the first thing
found was a cash-box; Mr. Cann tried to open it with
several keys. The papers were found next. The box
was taken away when the parties left, but he could not
say if the papers were removed also.
The witness was examined with the greatest minute-
ness respecting the most trifling and apparently useless
details of everything which took place on the occasion of
the police visiting the farm.
Samuel Savory, labourer, of Wymondham, deposed
that he knew the prisoner twelve years. Recollected
the night of the murder. Saw the prisoner that day
between the Wymondham-lodge and Mr. Coleman':,
going towards Wymondham, about five o'clock. It was
getting dark.
Cross examined—Was sworn in Mr. Cann's office.
Did not know how long ago it was. Had been sent for
by Mr. Cann.
William Bacon deposed he was a sheriff's officer,
and was employed to distrain on the prisoner, in Oc-
tober, 1847, at Potash, by the late Mr. Jermy. Re-
membered the prisoner saying, on the 18th of October,
something about Mr. Jermy and Mr. Clarke. He said
he would " do for them on the first opportunity."
Cross-examined—Had never mentioned the threat to
Mr. Clarke, or to any one, till the morning after the
occurrence of the 28th (the murder), when he spoke
about it at Attleborough. The police came to him in
consequence of what he said.
Robert Martin, bailiff at Norwich, was employed to
distrait on the prisoner at Felmingham in October 13,
1847.
Richard Reed, lived at Thames-street, London.
Knew John Lamer. Was introduced by him to Rush
in March, 1847. Had had some papers belonging to
the former, and relating to the Stanfield-hall property,
and was asked if he would lay them before some re-
spectable solicitor. Accompanied the prisoner to Mr.
Waugh, a solicitor in Bedford-row. The papers were
afterwards taken from him and put into the hands of
Mr. Wilson, another solicitor. They were put in
the hands of Mr. Flower, a third solicitor, and Rush
said, " They had got an honest lawyer to carry
on the cause. [ldentified a letter to himself from the
prisoner, dated 2d of May, 1848, stating that ho had
unexpectedly got a will of the Rev. Mr. Preston, and
asking for an appointment, in order to consult as to what
steps should be taken in facilitating proceedings for the
recovery of the property. Identified another letter,
dated 2d of October, which has been referred to in the
trial, making an appointment for Reed, Larner, and
Jermy, at 2, Mylue-street, Islington, on the 3d of Oc-
tober, and stating they would be introduced to the lady
who was to find the money; (Emily Sandford, it may
be remembered, was the only woman present on that cc-
° asien), and that the prisoner would unfold his plan
—the only plan—to get possession of thro-
perty.] Went to Myhre street, about six o'clock.
Thomas Jermy and John Lerner arrived after
he came. Emily Sandford was there when
witness arrived, but was called out and left the
room. There was an agreement on the table, and after
it had been read, Rush said that that was his plan. Wit-
ness signed it (identified his signature). Rush said it
was the only plan by which he would render the claimant
any assistance whatever. Jermy hesitated about putting
his mark to the paper, but on witness telling him it con-
tained nothing unreasonable he signed it, as did Lerner.
Emily Sandford was called in to witness the signing of
the papers. Prisoner said she would find whatever means
were wanting to make good their claims. He called her
" this lady," and she was present at the time it was
said. Prisoner said he would require Jermy and Lerner
to go down to Felnaingham to see after the property,
and that he would pay all the expenses of any suit
that might take place as to that property. He said he
held the leases of the property • that either one or
both expired on the 10th of October; and that he would
put the claimants in quiet possession. He said also
that ho expected to be served with an ejectment on
the 12th of October. Jermy refused to go unless his
cousin Lamer went with him. As Rush refused to pay
the expenses of the latter, witness did so. Witness
went down from London on the 10th. Went over to
Potash. Saw the prisoner at the 'Wymondham station,
and accompanied him there. Was present when an
agreement was made at Fehningham on the 12th of
October. Identified the agreement which bound Jermy
and Lerner to give the prisoner a lease of the farm, &c.
Went over with the prisoner on the 11th to Stanfield-
hall,:and tendered the rent to Mr. Jermy. (Identified a
copy of the agreement made by him at the time, and also
a notice to Mr. Jermy; that signed by Thomas Jermy,
stating that he had entered on possession of the Fel-
mingham estates.) Returned to London, and on the
14th of October Rush called on him, and they went to-
gether to Mr. Clowes', the printer. Had a sovereign
given him by the prisoner fur tome notices which the
latter directed to be sent to Norwich.
Cross-examined--Thought at the time the prisoner's
plan was a very good one. Never heard prisoner ex-
press any illwill towards the late Mr. Jermy.
John Lerner was then called and sworn, but neither
the counsel for the Crown nor the prisoner asked him
any questions.
Thomas Jermy likewise left the witness. box with-
out being required to give evidence on either side, ex-
cept this—
Mr. Sergeant BUMS—Can you write ? Witness—.
No, sir.

Mr. Sergeant BYLES—I shall ask you no more ques-
tions; you can stand down.
Prisoner—l have nothing to ask you.
The witness was the Jermy so often referred to dui.-
ing the trial, and co-claimant with Larner of the Jermy
estate.

Mr. Frederick Howe re-called and re-sworn by the
prisoner's request.
Prisoner—Before you give your evidence I wish to
caution you. My firm hope against all the evidence
which may be brought against me is in God. Recollect
that God's eye is upon you. Speak, then, the truth, and
nothing but the truth, to the best of your recollection.
Where are you staying at Norwich?— Bell
the
hotel.

How often has your evidence been taken down in
writing?—Never but once.
When?—Within the last fortnight, at my own house.
Who brought you down here?—Mr. Cann.
Did you write letters to Mr. Cann as to your attend-
ing the trials?—Yes, I did.
How much are you to have for giving your evidence?
—How much am Ito have? I really don't understand
the question.
Oh i has there ever been anything said to you about
giving money to you?—Never.

Ila-ve you any conversation about attending
the trial?—Never, in reference to money.
Were money matters mentioned at those conversa-
tions?—Never.

Have you got no money 2—l have received one guinea
for my expenses coming down by railway.
When did you come down?—By the half•past two
o'clock train on Monday.
Do you swear you have only received a guinea?—l
do swear it. It was only a pound, properly speaking,
my Lord.

wich, in the county of Neut.

Have you lived there long?-011 dear, yes; fors even
years.
In the came house?—Yes.
Aro you a married man?—(Apparently offended.) No,
Mr. Rush ; I am only 21.—(A utter.)
Can you give any references as to your respectability?
—I urn not bound to give you any, Mr. Rush; but I can.
My uncle is chaplain to the Mercers' Company, and my
father is reathensatical master at Clapham Grammar
School.
Were you ever suspected of any crime?
The JUDGE—You have no right to ask that question.
You can ask it he was ever accused.
Have you ever been tried in any court?—Never.
Have you spoken to Mr. Cann much as to the trans-
action?—Not above hall-a-clezen words on this or any
transaction since I came to Norwich; in fact, I have never

(Mr. Cann sat under the witness-box.)
Whose employment are you in now?—No one's.
At who,e place were you last employed?—Mr.
Simp-
son's, 13, dford-square. I was his clerk, and managed his

Were you ever accused of receiving money there and
not accounting fur it?---Never.
Do you know anything about an indictment relating
to Eliza Kingate?—Yes.
What do you know about it it?—Do you wish me to

The JUDGE—Oh, no; we cannot go into that.
Were you in any trouble about it? —I never was in
any trouble about it, though I had some trouble about the
case.
Did you make an affidavit at the time?—No.
Not about the perjury?—No. I may as well explain.
I went before all% Baron Alderson fur a writ of habeas
corpus on the behalf of a client whose daughter was im-
properly detained by Kingate, and in order to obtain it I
had to make affidavit of the improper detention. Kingato
was tried at the Old Bailey, but in consequence of the
magistrate's clerk not producing the depositions in con-
formity with the subpoena she was acquitted,
When did you become acquainted with Kingate T—l
attended for her brother-in-law before Mr. Broderip last
August.
Do you know Charles Mathews ?
The JUDGE—The actor, you mean ?
Yes, my Lord. Do you know him ?—Yes.
Was there ever a charge made against you for forging
orders on him ?—No ; I must explain that matter,
though not bound to answer the question. A friend of
mine—a medical student of the College of Surgeons—
had proposed to send a friend of his, a Mr. Morgan,
with an order for himself and a lady. I wrote an
order, accordingly, for the stage-box at the Lyceum
Mr. Morgan, on presenting it, was detained by the offi•
cer on duty. I went before Mr. Mathews, accompanied
by my friend, and told him it was done merely for a joke,
and I proved by the evidence of my friends before Mr.
Jardine, the magistrate at Bow-street, that it was only
a joke. He was quite satisfied it was only done as a
joke, and expressed his full conviction of it.
What did Mr. Simpson discharge you for?-11e did
not discharge me. I went away to attend to my business.
How long is it since you were clerk to Mr. Waugh?—•-
In January or February, '4B; I can't say which.
Have you performed the part of counsel at the Judge-
and-Jury Club, or any public-house in London?—
(Laughter.)—No; (after a short pause) I have occa-
sionally been in such places, and have put on a wig and
gown.—(Laughter.)
Have you employed part of your time in teaching box-
ing?—Never.
Did you ever go by another name?--No.
Do you know anything about the name of Abraham
Leasegrove?—No.
Did you not put it on your card?—No; I will ex-
plain; in a joke, a friend of mine requested me to get some cards printed with that name, and I did so.
Do you know Mr. Paul?—Yes.
How long is it since you saw Mr. Cann in London?—
I cannot recollect exactly; it is not more than a month;
to my belief, 'tis about three weeks.
Did you send letters to any one else in Norwich be-
sides Mr. Cann ?—I did; to the mayor of Norwich.
Did you make the same statement to him as to Mr.
Cann ?—Yes.
Do you recollect the substance of your letter?—l
stated the circumstances, and the expressions I recollected
you to have used.
Where did you receive the parcel directed to you?—
At the Wheatsheaf.
How much money was in it?-1L
Were you ever indicted for perjury at the Old Bailey?
—Never.
Do you recollect the day of the month you saw me at
Mr. Waugh's?—No; but if the call-book is prodUced it
will be found there that my name is placed opposite
yours, as I saw you on the day in question.
Who was the fighting man at Jessop's 7—Samuel
Simmonds.
• What wine did we drink at Jessop's ?—Claret.
Were there many persons in the room?—About 200. What time was it?—About two o'clock in the morn-
ing

-What date ?—December 13, or rather the morning
of December 14, 1847.
The prisoner requested that his pocket-book for 1847
might be given to him, but it could not be found.
What time did Igo there?—l cannot particularize.
But I want you to particularize—Well, I think it was
later than 12 o'clock.
What time did I leave?—About four o'clock in the
morning. You left at the time with some girl, but who
she was I don't know.
(Here witness, in reply to questions from the pri-
soner, ran over the names of the waiters and other per-
sons present on the night in question.)
The JUDGE—What place is this?—'Tis a wine and
refreshment-room, my Lord.
Did any one hear the expressions I used to you?—
f should think several did. Simmonds, for instance,
from his position close to you.
What did you leave Mr. Waugh for?—For breaking
a window.
Was there not a serious charge made against you?
—No.

Was there no reason assigned ?—No; I heard none but
the windotv-breaking. Several of the clerks were throw-
ing stones at a back window.
Mr. Candle Clarke, solicitor of Norwich, proved several
documents in the handwriting of Mr. Jenny.
Mr. J. Carver, solicitor of Norfolk, proved the signa-
ture of his late father to several deeds produced.
Mr. W. P. Nichols, surgeon, deposed that he was in
attendance on Mrs. Jermy, and that she was in such a
state that she could not appear.
Here, as frequently occurred during the trial, some
observations passed between the Learned Judge and the
prisoner in so low a tone on both sides that it was almost
impossible to catch their purport, more particularly as
the reporters are placed at the prisoner's back, and are
at a considerable distance from the Bench. It was un-
derstood, however, that the prisoner objected to the case
proceeding without an opportunity being given to him of
coining at Mrs. Jenny's depositions, and also if it was
not proved that Mrs. Jenny might not be able to attend
hereafter.
The JUDGE —lf the prisoner says there is most im-
portant evidence which can be, and is not produced, w
may be obliged to postpone the trial.
Prisoner—Let Mrs. Jermy's depositions be read. It
is quite clear, according to the Act, that lam right.
After some further remarks it was decided that the
matter should stand over till the morning, in order that
the prisoner might consult with his solicitoras to whether
he would require Mrs. Jermy's depositions to be read or
not.

The leases between Rush and Mr. Jermy were then
read.

Mr. Austin, an officer of the Bankruptcy Court in
London, produced a fiat of bankruptcy, dated the Bth
of May, 1848, against the prisoner, on his own petition.
Mr. Jermy, it appeared, was examined before the as-
signees.
The prisoner asked if the papers produced contained
an affidavit of debt to the amount of 2004 to his mother?
—The witness replied that they did.
The following letters and documents were then put
in:—A letter dated April 28, 1848, addressed by the pri-
soner to his son; a letter dated September 27,1848, signed
"R. Reid," and addressed to the prisoner; the agreement
signed by Jenny and Lerner in London, Oct. 3, 1848;
another agreement dated October 10 ; an agreement
dated November 21, 1$48; a letter addressed to the pri-
soner, signed " R. Reid," and dated October 14, 1848;
a notice of protest by the prisoner, dated October 23,
1848, against the legality of a distress; a similar docu-
ment, dated October 26, 1848, and the pamphlet written
by the prisoner.
The effect of these documents has already been given
in the opening speech of Sergeant Byles.
This was the case for the Crown.
Arrangements having been made for giving the pri-
soner in the conduct of his defence every facility for
reference to all papers and documents having any bear-
ing on the case,
The prisoner said, I hope, my Lord, you will not press
me to
The proceed with my defence to-night?
with
Do you think you cannot do so with
justice to yourself?
The prisoner—I feel that I cannot do so at this late
period of the day.
The JUDGE—Then I won't press if.
Accordingly, at twenty minutes to six o'clock, the
Court adjourned till to-morrow (this day) at nine.
