Mr. Ballantine appeared for Hickman, and Mr.
Clarkson appeared for the prosecution.
The depositions of the witnesses who had already
been examined, having been read over,
Mr. Marshall was called, and in reply to Mr. Bal-
lantyne stated, that on the first occasion when he
called at Mr. Hickman's he did not leave his name
and address. On the Thursday morning he received
all the information he required at Mr. Hickman's,
upon giving his name and address.
Thomas Jessom examined—Had been appointed
a special constable on the .3rd of October.

went round the house. The prisoner said,
whatever Mr. Marshall claims let him have.
He found property which he (Mr. Marshall) claimed.

and Mr. Simmons said he would show where it was.
He then went to Miss Simmons's house. Miss Sim-
mn' Was the sister of Mr. Simmons. Mr. Sim-
monsafent to the farm and brought out the
hair
tlonging to the

sent ilr. Marshall then took it to Lei•
Mrs.
Simmonsor again on the same dny, and
was told by
barn and fecth a chest to go to Miss Simmons's
. Mr. Marshall was present.
He did as he was directed, and the chest produced
was taken away by Mr. Marshall. The box weighed
two hundred and three-querters. The straw was
loose about it. Simmons did not say a word about
the contents of the box.
Mr. CLARKSON said that he might bring another
be
memr of the family of the unfortunate female into
this matter, but as he had not received instruction
to

quently, however, the Learned Counsel called
Mary Burton, the Laundress of Mr. Hickman, who
stated that the female prisoner had slept at Mr. Hick-
man's the night before the discovery of the property.

chambers.

to admit, was still deeply attached to the unfortunate
female prisoner, and he had been led into an indis-
cretion through that attachment, but under all cir-
cumstances be would leave the matter in the Magis-
trate's hands, merely stating there were present
several witnesses as to the character of his client, who
was a respectable merchant.

the part of the counsel for the prosecution, he would
not object to taking bail for Hickman. 1
Theo further hearing of the case was then posponed
