11811 t. They had note of their ?egular pitch marking when the'
sheep came home, so they made up some with tallow and
smudge. The other sheep in Beale's fold were shorn. The
man who said he saw Beale take the ram off the common was
sailed Huggins. (To another question of how he came to know
where the ram was, witness replied, " Why, I'll tell you all
about it, if you like." Mr.. PEEL.—" Do eo." He then de-
tailed the whole affair, but no part of his statement was au-
dible in the gallery.).
Examination continued.--The ram was a South Down ram,
piths value of 455. or 505.; but he would not have taken any
stoney for him. He told Adams' that he had a charge against
one Beale.
Examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL.—Westwood-
common is about three or four miles from Beale's. He told
Adams that he had a complete chain of evidence. He could
-not say that he told Mr. Kenrick of the name of Huggins. He
-did not know the name of Huggins himself at the time. He did
not tell Mr. Kenrick of Beale having been seen leading off the
ram by a string. He believed that Beale turned sheep on
Westwood-common. He told Mr, Kenrick that Beale refused
to give up the property. He was-satisfied, from Beale's
tie-
ociption of the mark, that the ram was his. Mr. Kenrick did
not say that Beale was a respectable man, and would come
if sent for. Beale did say that the ram was his, and stuck to
it, and that.it was marked afresh. Mr. Kenrick asked a great
many questions.
Examined by Mr. Bitoraxasf.--Huggins told him that
he had seen Beak pass by with a ram in a string. Beale's
own sheep had no particular mark at all that witness knew of;
and the ram in the string was shorn. The man saw no sheep
Wpa4s-on that occasion with their fleeces on, nor any fleecesalone.
Witness's own sheep bore no particular mark. They were
merely smudged with paint on the flank. It was true that wit..
ness had said to Beale that he believed Mr. Kenrick roust have
been a great friend to him (Beale), for otherwise he would be in
very awkward situation. The first time witness saw Mr.
Kenrick, after- seeing Beale, was on Sunday about one or two
o'clock in the gternoon. Witness said that Mr. Kenrick, on
the next irt'Y after the transaction, told him that the sheep was
Beale's, and he would not give it up.
By Mr... 11. A. TAY I.oa.—When . Adams came into the
room, he- brought in his hands a printed paper; Mr. Kenrick
said, " What is that ?" and Adams told him it was a paper for
him to sign. Witness does not know, but believes that it wan
a search-warrant. Neither Mr. Kenrick nor Mr. Adams asked
the witness to sign any paper; butwitness is positive that when,
tie first carne to-Mr. Kenrick's, he stated-that he came for a
-ssrch-warrant against Beale. Then it was that Adams brought
-in the printed form to he signed, and, then it was Mr. Kenrick
said that a note from hini would do as well.

• By Sir li.:Ntirr.soN.—When witness had- made Beale ae-
-quainted with his intention to accuse him of the felony, it was
possible, he believed, that Beale might have pulled out and de-
stroyed that mark on the fleece.
By the SOLICITOR-GENERAL.— Mr. Nash was a very re-.
spectable farmer in that part of the country, and generally em-
'
ployed as a " valuer" by farmers, on questions of property aris-
tog among them:.
Why did you go to Mr. Kenrick the last time, after you had I
got your fleece and your costs ?—I went to call upon him. •
And. you, said nothing flippant or insulting to that gentle-:
man ?—Oh, dear no, by no means.
It is not your habit so to express yourself ?—(A laugh.)—
Certainly not. Witness.said nothing to irritate Alr. Kenrick
before be applied for the search warrant. He did not go there
the last time to pay his respects to Air. Kenrick ; but he went
to state the facts of his case, and to show that there was good
ground for the application made by him.
By Dr.- PHiLLTSIORE.—BeaIe stated that he had lost a ram.
Witness did not know exactly how many sheep he had at that
time in his fold; there were two rams there.

By Mr. GOULBURti.—Beale lives at a farm-house, a good
'way, witness believes, out of Betchworth :.how far, witness
could not say, being a stranger in that part of the country.
Witness does not know whether or no there is a series of com-
mons extending beyond Beale's farm, and adjoining Betch-
worth. Witness should suppose Charlwood may be about
seven miles from Betchworth.

How, then, did yourram happen to stray so far ?—Why, ay,
.:Sr, that now is just what I want to know myself.—(Laughter.)
By Mr. PEE r... When Beale produced the fleece, I had no
doubt whatever that it was from my ram—l knew it was mine;
ha had not put a new mark on it ; he did not make any attempt
.to bring-forward another fleece. It was not at all the custom to
tie op _the fleece to make what is called the " van,". in order to
carry it. Ile never saw such a thing done in his life. There
was no part of the fleece spoilt by tying, or any other cause that
he saw. How it happened that he had petitioned the House of
Commons on that subject was, because he could not bring the
matter forward sufficiently, nor carry it on any further in a
Court of Law. He had carried it into a Court; but a man that
was poor could not (as we understood the witness) hope to do
any good there. _He could not go through with a matter unless
he had spirit and money.
By Mr. W. LAMB.—Witness did not write this petition ; it
was written for him by his attorney. His attornies were Alesars.
Wilson and Broughton (we believe), in Falcon-square. They
drew it up under his instructions—i 4 laugh)—and he then put
bis name to it, and signed it. lie was perfectly aware of the
contents of that petition, and he had determined on preparing it
Itom the sense he felt of the great prejudice arising from the
denial of justice. Witness could not say but that he should
have presented that petition, even if Mr. Kendrick had paid him
the whole of his expences : he did not know that it was doubt-
ful whether he should hays done so. He did not thing he
would easily have been induced to drop the subject; and utterly
denied that he had been induced to take this step in consequence
of Mr. Kenrick's not having paid hint the full amount of ex-
pences to which he conceived himself to be entitled.
By a MEMDER.—He did not attack Mr. Kenrick becauseof
this, though Mr. Kenrick sent him word that lie would not pay
_him what he demanded. Witness then began to consider in
what way he could " tackle" hin—(a laugh)—and after he had I
thought upon it, witness's attorney prepared the petition. Wit-
ness
certainly, in consequence of the money in question not
being paid to him, began to think how he should tackle Mr.
Kenrick; but still his determining on, and giving instructions
for, this petition, had nothing to do with that circumstance at
aJI witnes. did not know how the two statements were to be
reeonciled, but repeated, that Mr. Kenrick's not paying him his
Auth Itad nothing at all to do with this petition.
By Mr. ilttotetmast—Witness had offered to make his de-
poaitiop on oath before Mr. Kenrick; but Mr. Kenrick did not
examine him, and administered no oath. Since this affair had
happened, witness had not employed Sir. N. to do any business
for him. He had bee to Mr. Nash's once, but he found hint
not at home; otherwise he would then have given Mr. Nash
.something to do for him. Ile had never prosecuted Beale for
--the felony ; he could not do so because the evidence against
him was gone; he had, however, just the same sort of evidence
aftereltis transaction before Mr. Kenrick had happened, as he
had .had before. Certainly he could still produce Huggins;
but he had promised not to prosecute Beale.
Mr. PEEL—The compromise was not entered into by Mr.
Kenrick's directions. When witness heard what the compro-
naise was which his Counsel had entered into with Mr. Ken-
rick, be was satisfied with the amount of that compromise itself,
or he would not hare accepted it. He agreed to take 51., Mr.
Kenrick to pay all expences; but witness's instructions to his
Counsel were, that if such expences were not 'paid, then they
were to goon. He had heard that Mr. Kenrick had said all
over the country, that he would ruin witness; whereupon wit-
ness his observed that they would see. Witness is aware that
Mr. Kenrick holds another situation—that besides being a.Ma.
gistrate;'he is also one of the judges of the land. That was
one,of The reasons why he presented this petition ; for though
be would not say that Mr. Kenrick (as we understood) would
-hang him, he thought he would go pretty near to do so. His
motive for presenting his petition was not these expences which
he ought to have been paid, but that he did not think Mr. K,
a fitting person to administer justice. He thought that such a
person ought to act according to his oath:

Had you any wish to prevent the publication of the proceed-
ings about this affair in the public pre,s ?-0h ! I nevezArouble
my head with proceedings in the public prows.
Then whatdo you mean in your petition by saying, " the pe-
titioner disclaims all personal hostility .to the said William
Kenrick, which he submits has been sufficiently indicated in
his desire-, by the compromise of the said action, to prevent
a detail Of the foregoing facts ?"—lf one man in a thousand
had been tried as I have been, he would not have taken it as I
have done.
By the AT TO RNE Y-G ENE NAL—Witness was present at the
compromise between his Counsel and Mr. Kenrick's; but what
they did, he did not know.—(A laugh.)—Mr. Thesiger was
Counsel for witness, whoh ad some conversation with him upon the
subject. Witness certainly spoke to Mr.Marryat, counsel on the
other side. Whatever the terms were of the compromise as
finally settled, the instructions which witness meant to give for
it, he gave immediately to Mr. Thesiger. Witness was out of
court when he spoke to Mr. Thesiger; and when he came in,
the counsel on both sides were talking and communicating to-
gether. Whether they wrote any thing down, witness did not
know ; he did not see them put or, paper the terms he had dic-
tated, but trusted the whole arrangement of the matter to coun-
sel. He lied received no money in consequence, though his
attorney had, he believed, some little. Witness slid not know
that be had ; but thought he remembered to have heard him I
say something about paying a sum to witness. Witness had
conversed withhim on this subject several times. Witness had '
never expressed any dissatisfaction with the amount proposed;
but did not mean to say that he had never said a word about it.
As to why he incurred the expenses of law about the costs, if
he could afford. to pay 2001.. he could afford to pay 3001., and
it did not matter a farthing to him whether he got this
1601. or not. He could not 'recollect when it was that
his attorney informed him Mr. Kenrick had paid the
