LA.W INTELLIGENCE,
COURT OF (,?LIE: IVB BENCH, Dec. 2.

(Before Lori Chie!-: J7zstice PENMAN end a C.mnon
Jury.)
CRIM CON. --GADSBY ESTALL.

(Continued from cur Afternoon Edition of Saturday.)
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant WILIIINS.—The
doors of the two houses were but a short distance apart.
Remembered a Mr. Robinson remaining with Mrs.
Gadsby one night, because the nurse, Harker, was
" angry." Could not tell whether that was the eight
she heard the man go up the stairs, it might have been
Did not know whether Mr. and Mrs. Estall were living
together. When the blinds were drawn up and the
shutters closed, the time was seven o'clock in the month
of October. They were usually closed at dusk.
Byl Lord DENNAN—Never knew them to be closed
before dusk.

Cross•examination continued Meant when she
spoke of the likeness that she had seen one somewhat
like it; the two likenesses were shown to her at the
lawyer'S, and she was•told to mark the difference. Might
have been in the garden the two or three hours with the
childnn on the day Mr. Elcombe, the father,
called thrice to know why Mrs. Gadsby had not
gone to bed. The defendant climbed over the wall;
he would have to go round the houses, which would
occupy him about five minutes. Left the service, be-
cause she did not like the " goings on." Had no quarrel
with her mistress. Never applied to her for a character.
Went to the service of a person named Oldfield after
staying with her mother for three months.
By a juryman—When the defendant was there two
or three hours she had the baby in the kitchen for the
time. She took it to Mrs. Gadsby two or three times.

Elizabeth Harker said she was t-widow. Attended Mrs.
Gadsby as monthly nurse on the 11th of August, 1846,
from Walthamstow. The defendant visited Mrs. Gadsby
in her bedroom on the Tuesday following the Saturday
on which she was confined. He stopped an hour and a
half or two hours. Was in the room the whole time,
with the exception of a few minutes. The defendant
had some brandy and water. She was carried down
stairs on the Monday. The defendant carried
her up again. When Mrs. Gadsby was down
stairs in the parlour, some time after, whilst she (wit-
ness) was nursing the baby, she saw the defendant pass;
she nodded, and the defendant came in. She believed he
had some port wine.
Cross-examined by Sergeant SHEE—Had seen a Mrs.
Robinson. She called at the house about a fortnight
after Mrs. Gadsby's confinement. Did not see her
before. Could not say if she was at the house a day or
two after. Had no recollection of Mr. Robinson being
in the bedroom about a week after the confinement.
Saw him there once. in the bedroom. His age might
be fifty. Would swear that the gentleman he handed
brandy and water to was Mr. Estall. She never banded
any to Mr. Robinson. Never refused to sleep in the
room, because she had quarrelled with Mrs. Robinson, who
stopped one night with Mrs. Gadsby. On one occasion
Mr. Estall called with his wife.

Mary Anne Boxton, widow, deposed that in Novem-
ber, 1846, Mrs. Gadsby and Mr. Estall came to her house
in a gig. She asked her to become her housekeeper,
and to take care of her children, but she declined. She
introduced Mr. Estell, whose name she did not know at
the time, as William, that being her husband's name.
Knew he was not her husband. Had been in the service
of the plaintiff's brother.
Mr. Edward Gadsby, the brother of the plaintiff, was
next called. He said he was in the habit
of visiting the plaintiff and his wife, and that they
always appeared to live on affectionate terms. Some
time after his brother came to reside near him he made
a communication to him.

Cross-examined by Sergeant SHEE—Married a sister
of Mrs. Gadsby two years before his brother's mar-
riage. Mr. Elcombe was engaged in building speculations.
Met the defendant at the North Pole, as a parlour cus-
tomer, but never met him there with Mrs. Estell in the
company of his father-in-law. Believed Mr. Estall had
some family. Did not know that Mrs. William Gadsby
kept her father's books on the day he found the portrait.
The plaintiff repented the day after he told him of the
rumours.

Hqd seen tho miniature of Mr. Estall in the hands
of the defendant's end the plaintitt's children.
When the plaintiff and hia wife separau.-.0, he i:ook
his (17:lighter and her children to the North Pole.
Was present at an interview between the plaintiff arel
defendant at his house on the Sunday before the Mon-
day when the separation took place. They had sonac.,
ale together, arid smoked in the public room that evening.
Heard plaintiff say, " he had heard a good deal, but hoped
he would think nothing more about it." The plaintiff
offered to shake hands, but the defendant refused. On
the Monday night they were smoking together as usual.
Cross examined by Sir F. TIIESIGER—At the last
trial, when the verdict was given, he cried " Bravo"
once. Had had many business transactions with the
defendant, who was now living at 9, Wilton-terrace,
The defendant came to his house sometimes. The de-
fendant and his wife had visited his house since the last
trial. Had never seen Mrs. Gadsby sittine• on the de-
fendant's knee since the trial. The plaintiff had never
paid him any rent since he came into the house, six
months since. Did not turn him out of the house. He
went away voluntarily. To the best of his belief none of
the defendant's property was in his house.
Re-examined—The defendant came to his house to
get his glass of ale, not to see his daughter. Never saw
any impropriety between them in his life. Knew the
defendant had taken Mrs. Gadsby out for a drive with
the knowledge of the plaintiff. Had heard this stated
before the plaintiff.
Mrs. Robinson proved that her husband, by her invita-
tion, came into Mrs. Gadsby:si,bedroom shortly after
her confinement. He had no refreshments the first time.
A khort time after he came there again to take her home,
when he had some porter. The plaintiff and his wife
were kind and affectioaate to one another.

George Clarkson, carman, in the New North-road—
Knew the defendant, and had had many business trans-
actions with him. Had seen him write daily. Did not
believe the letter produced was in his handwriting.
Edward Gadsby brought the letter to him, whilst Wil-
liam stood outside. Told him then that it was not his
handwriting.
Cross-examined by SirF. THESIGER—Had been taken
up on a charge of stealing some bricks from the de-
fendant, which he had ordered his men to cart away
within the last month or so, but the charge was ground-
less, and he was immediately discharged, Had made an
affidavit in the case. _

Horrinder, a labourer, formerly in the service of
the defendant, deposed to having seen him write re-
peatedly, and that the letter was not in his *,hand-
writing. The defendant and his brother came to him
about it. The defendant said, " You may as well speak
to it as not." Told him he could not, as it was not his
handwriting.
The Court adjourned, at five o'clock, until Monday.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COUR7'.

SIR JOHN HARE AND THE BARONESS ST.
MART.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of Saturday.)
Eliza Russell, examined by Mr. CLARKSON—Was ex-
gaged in 1846, as a servant in the house of the priso-
ner's mother, in Bentinck-terrace. The Countess dis-
posed of her house to a person named Swann, with
whom the witness remained in service for six months.
The prisoner called twice upon her; the second tine she
called was on the Friday, the day before she was mar-
ried. She came in a cab, and said she wanted the
witness to go somewhere with her, as she wanted
to make some money. Witness's master would
not let her go, and then the prisoner asked her to come
to the wedding on the next day, which she obtained
leave to do. Did not leave the house on Friday. Went
on Saturday to Clare-street, Manchester-square,
the residence of the prisoner's mother. The
Countess quitted England after the wedding was
over. After the Countess left the prisoner asked
witness ss hat time she was going. Witness said
she must be home by half-past four o'clock. The pri-
soner said she could not spare her so soon, as she
wanted her to go somewhere to get some money. This
was in the back drawing-room. The prisoner then gave
her two rings, and told her to take them to Boyce's,
Lisson-grove North, and ask 10/. on them—a 51. note and
five sovereigns. She gave witness money to pay for the cab
and the ticket, so as not to break into the 101. She said_she
wanted to send the 5L note abroad in a letter, which she
should write: while witness went away. Witness
pledged the rings for 101., which witness gave the
prisoner, who tore the ticket up when she gave it
her. The prisoner put the 51. note in the letter
and witness took it to the post-office. Witness then went
by the prisoner's direction to a milliner near Bond-street
and paid an account of 3/. odd for her. It was ten
o'clock before witness left the prisoner's house. Before
she left two or three gentlemen came to the house, and
some confusion took place. The prisoner came up
to witness and told her to rush home as
it was getting late, The gentlemen were
then in the house, and upon witness noticing the confu-
sion, the prisoner said it was only a little fuss. When
witness went home her mistress was cross, and gave her
warning to leave, which she did in a month, and went
to her mother's in Herefordshire. Witness subsequently
got a situation at Mrs. Potter's, in Baker-street,
where she stopped about seven months. When
witness left Mrs. Potter's she went to live with
the Countess, the prisoner's mother. The Baroness
made her several presents, and said, "For God's sake,
Eliza, don't say anything about those two rings and the
two silver spoons I gave you to pledge." Witness left
the Countess's service fire weeks ago, in consequence of
some one breaking into the Countess's trinket box and
taking her jewels, and witness was accused of it
and given into custody. On the Saturday following
the Countess said she had no charge against witness, and
sbe must go. In a week afterwards witness received her
wages. The prisoner was then in England. On the
Monday after witness left the prisoner's mother she was
going along the Park-road towards the prisoner's mo-
ther's, when she:met a gentleman named Harding, whom
she had seen at the Countess's, and in consequence of
what passed in conversation between witness and him
,
she went to the pawnbroker, and on the following day
witness told a policeman about pawning the rings. This
was last October. Had no notion till her conversation
with Mr. Harding that the rings were Sir John Hare's.
One of the rings was a large diamond, set round with
small ones, and the other 'an emerald, set round with
brilliants.

Mr. Thomas Allen, examined by Mr. WHATELEY—IS
a stonemason in Milton•terrace, New North-road.
Ksew Mr. Estall's handwriting; the letter produced was
in his handwriting.
The letter was read, it was signed "Yours, affec-
tionately, Edward," and commenced "My dear
Madame," and was addressed to Cookfield. It con-
cluded, " Good bye, God bless you !"
Mr. George James Preedy, surgeon, John-street-road,
attended the family. Always considered him a kind
father, and affectionate husband, and an upright man.
This was the case for the plaintiff.
The Court•here rose for a quarter of an hour, in order
to enable the counsel for the defendant to consult.

Mr. Sergeant SHEE then addressed the jury for the
defendant. He said the fortune and the fame of his
client had been ruined by what had already taken
place with respect to this matter. But what was
the real issue? The plaintiff did not care whether
he obtained damages from the defendant or not,
for he was ruined already; but, actuated by selfish
motives, and wounded vanity, to get rid of his wife
and to obtain her property. Her eldest sister
had married Mr. • Edward Gadsby, in 183$,
much against the wish of her parents. The
plaintiff consequently obtained access to Mr.
Elcombe's family, and having obtained the affec-
tions of Miss Elcombe, her father with great
reluctance consented to their union, though her
mother objected to it to the .last, finding that
unless it took place his daughter's happiness
would be destroyed. The plaintiff was a person without
a farthing. Mr. and Mrs. Gadsby took up their abode
close to Mr. Elcombe's house, who was a person of
considerable property. The defendant came to reside in
the neighbourhood in 1846. He employed a
number of men whom he permitted to run up
a score at the North Pole. Mrs. Gadsby
was in the habit of keeping her father's accounts, and
the defendant was in the habit of communicating with
her with regard to their settlement. Owing to the habits
of the plaintiff, he and his wife did not live very hap-
pily together, yet the wife bore his conduct, believing
it to be caused, in a great measure, by the cares of his
pursuit. When the eye became jaundiced, small mat-
ters became confirmative of guilty acts. It was said
that the defendant had driven her to the railway. Why,
he should show that he had often driven her out with
the consent of her husband, and with the knowledge of
her father and mother. The families of the
plaintiff and defendant were much acquainted,
and the defendant was in the habit of paying
attention to it both whilst the plaintiff was in town
and when he was not. Could they, then, as men
of common sense, believe that Mrs. Gadsby could seek
to deceive the woman Croxton that the defendant was
her husband, when that woman had been for eight
months in the service of Mr. Edward Gadsby? He
stigmatized the letter that had been produced as a
fraud, and in keeping with the whole case, which was
nothing but a well-contrived conspiracy. The Learned
Counsel then proceeded to deal with the evidence of the
two female servants, and contended that they could not,
upon their testimony, brand Mrs. Gadsby as an adul-
teress. Their testimony was altogether improbable--
utterly beyond belief. It surpassed belief that
a woman who was unfaithful to her husband
would employ her servants, even whilst her hus-
band was in bed, as he was on one occasion, to
smuggle her paramour into the house. Was it possible
that a guilty woman, so much in the power of her ser-
vants as this unfortunate lady was, would have quarrelled
with her servants in the way- she had, searching the
boxes of the maid, keeping a lady dallying for her
character ?—acts which more than others would embitter
persons in her class of life. It was imputed that inti-
macy had taken place immediately before and after the
confinement. Could they believe such a thing probable?
Why it was shown that the defendant was not at the
house more than three or foer times before her con-
finement—at a time when the lady was in the bloom
of health and btauty, and not sick and ailing, like
women bearing children, yet it had been imputed that
the last child, of which she was confined, was the
offspring of her intimacy with the defendant. It was
equally improbable, tat "a young married woman,-
would have the likeness of a married man in her posses.
sion, and that she would repeatedly kiss it before her
servants, as much ss to say, " This is my paramour."
He should prove that the story about Mr. Elcombe
coming round ono night, and expressing sur-
prise that his daughter had not gone to bed, was
a tissue of falsehood. He should call * that gentleman,
who had no interest in screening the man who was
stated to have dishonoured his daughter, and prove that
this was so. Then there was no proof how and when
the letter and miniature were found. They were said
to have • been found under her pillow by, her
husband. It was not likely that Mrs. Gadsby
would retain such articles in such a position,
in the bed in which she land her husband slept, and
months after the date of the letter, packed closely to-
gether, close to her husband's nose.—(Laughter.) No
doubt little Estall took the likeness of his father into
the house, in order to show the children of the
plaintiff that his papa had a daugerreotype also ; and
the plaintiff finding it in the house, like Othello of old,
becoming jealous, for
" Trifles light as air
Are to the jealous confirmation strong
As proof of Holy Writ,"
induced these ignorant servants to swear that the
miniature was the one he had seen her kiss. • After
saying that he should prove the full and entire inno-
cence of the plaintiff's wife, and that the plaintiff had
tampered with witnesses, the Learned Counsel concluded
an eloquent appeal on fiehalf of the defendant.
The following witnesses were then called:—
Mr. Richard Elcombe, examined by Mr. Sergeant
WriiiNs—He said hsi was the landlord of the North
Pule, and the owner of considerable property in its
neighbourhood. Is the father of the plaintiff's
wile, Knows Mr. Estall was subpoenaed at
the last trial by the plaintiff, but he was
ever told
not called. Was in the habit of going round
every night to see that the back-doors were fastened.

The witness on cross-examination swore most posi-
tively that she had never had a child, but she declined
answering the question whether she had ever miscar-
ried. Mrs. Swann did not know that she was with child
when she left.

This witness underwent a severe cross-examination
by Mr. COCKBURN, but her testimony in chief was not
shaken by it..
Re-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—Had never said
anything to any one about receiving money for this pro-
secution, and had never received a farthing. from any
one. When the prisoner told witness to pledge the
rings in the name of Mary or Ann Turner she said they
had been pledged before.
The jury then retired far a short time to take re-
freshments. It was now past three o'clock, and only
two witnesses for the prosecution had been examined.
On the jury returning into court at half-past three
o'clock, _

Mary Potts was examined—She was a servant to a
lady in the Cavendish-road. She had also been in ser-
vice with Eliza Russell, at Mrs. Swann's. She recol-
lected the prisoner calling on Eliza Russell the day be-
fore her marriage. Eliza Russell did not go out all the
day previous to the marriage of the prisoner; but o❑
her wedding-day she was allowed to go out, and not
returning before half-past ten at night, she was dis-
charcd.

Charles Fleury, a cousin of Sir John litre, stated that
on Saturday, tke Ist of May, 1847, he went to the house
of the Countess, to demand the return of two rings, when
the prisoner stated that she had returned them to Sir
John Hare.

Mr. Harding stated that he was in the habit of visiting
at the Countess's, the mother of the prisoner, and had
seen there Eliza Russell. He met her some time ago
in the Park-road, and had some conversation with her,
and made a communication to her relative to two rings
belonging to Sir John Hare.
Cross-examined by Mr. CocKnmar—When he met
Russell he stopped her to inquire about the Countess,
and this led to the communication with respect to tl.e
rings belonging to Sir John flare. He was first called
upon by Sir John Hare himself to give evidence.
Samuel Hoggarty, a police-sergeant, was then
examined, and proved that ho was called to
the house of the prisoner's mother in conse-
quence of a robbery of jewels having taken
place there. The prisoner seemed to suspect Russell, but
nothing was found to criminate her. From a communi-
cation he had with her he was induced to write to Sir
John Hare.

Francis West, the assistant of Mr. Boyce, the pawn-
broker, recollected the rings being pledged at his
master's shop twice. Did not recollect whether Russell
pledged them, but the person who pledged them the
first time pledged them the second time.
Cross-examined by Mr. COCKBURN—They were
pledged in the name of Wilson, 12, Gower-street, and
not in that of Mary or Ann Turner. A. ring with a
large diamond in the centre, set round with smaller
ones, was very common, and a cluster of diamonds was
much more common. The diamonds in the rings
pledged were of a dark colour, and did not induce wit-
ness to think much of them.
Re-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—It was most pro-
bable that he took the name of Wilson on the last oc-
casion from the previous ticket.
Mr. Boyce, the: pawnbroker, recollected the rings in
question. He bought in both the rings himself at the
sale for 161., and broke up the cluster ring and sold the
other. lie had several of the stones in his possession
now.

The trial occupied more than nine hours.

The statement of the prisoner before Mr. Broughton
was then put in, in which she said that Sir John Hare
had offered her marriage, gave her the rings to put on
her finger, and that she returned them to him, and knew
nothing of those that had been sent to the pawnbroker.
This closed the case for the prosecution.

Mr. COCKBURN then made a most eloquent and
forcible address to the jury on behalf of the accused lady.
Ele commenced by stating that when he reflected that
the interests of a lady standing in, the position of the
accused, the wife of a gentleman the possessor of an
ancient and honourable title in a foreign country, and
who, besides, was in the condition of being on the eve of
bringing into the world an heir to that house and title,
were placed in his keeping, when ho reflected that that
child must also become the heir infamy
which the brand of
which would be indelibly impressed upon it if its mother
wr,-o found guilty upon such a charge as this, he could

had instituted thi..4 pro.c,edoig, aetaatiA by motivEs Ci
jealousy alicidisappilutment. It had been suggested by

the c3tivsel for iiTe prosecution that he might possibly
think it necessary to ridicule the prosecutor on account
of his position, and his being formerly a tradesman. He
certainly should not think himself justified in ridiculing
any man who might be deemed worthy of receiving the
honours of knigthood at the hands of his Sovereign, but
he did think that every one might be excused for laugh-
ingatan old.gsntleman like the prosecutor, who, forgetful
of his years, took upon himself to follow young ladies
about, dance with them at different boarding-houses,
write love sonnets, and place poetry on their plates, and
other ridiculous proceedings, which might be excusable
in a boy, but which were totally inconsistent with the
position of the prosecutor and his advanced period of
life. He then adverted to the manner in which the pro-
secutor had given his evithrice, and said that, al-
though he could hardly get one single straight-
forward answer from him, it was clear that
after the marriage he had acted in a most un-
manly manner towards the prisoner and her husband and
mother, and that he had most grossly insulted them upon
several occasions. With regard to Sir John's own state-
ment relating to the original transaction, he submitted
that it was hardly credible. He talked of the value of
these rings, and the care he took of them, and yet after
they were left in the possession of the prisoner on the
night when he first showed them to her, he pretended
that he had entirely forgotten them, although with re-
gard to the repair of the Baron's own ring he did not
forget to ask for the immense sum of sixpence which he
had expended for it. With regard to the evidence of
the witness Russell, he submitted that it was an entire
fabrication, and that, after what she had admitted, no
jury would be justified in placing any reliance upon
such a person. The Learned Counsel having intimated
that a number of witnesses were in attendance to con-
tradict portions of the evidence given by that witness, but
that he did not consider it necessary to call them, con-
cluded a very able defence by expressing a confident
opinion that the jury would dismiss the accused lady
from that court, and restore her to that position in society
to which she was entitled.

A good deal of applause followed the conclusion of the
Learned Counsel's speech, and it was some time before
it could be repressed.
• Mr. Justice COLTMAN, in summing up, said, that a
material question for the jury- to consider in this case, in
the first instance, was, whether, supposing they believed
the evidence of the witness Russell as to the pawning of
the rings, they were satisfied that these rings were the
same as were stolen from the prosecutor; and the next
question was, whether the prisoner took the rings with
the intention to steal them. It was certainly very singu-
lar that the prosecutor should not have said a word about
the rings from the Monday to the Friday; and he could
just as well have taken proceedings then, if he had been
so minded, as now, but he had not thought fit to do so;
and it was very important to recollect that the
prisoner had told the same story from first to last,
and bad always represented, and had done so that
day by her counsel, that the rings were returned, The
Learned Judge then proceeded to observe that the con-
duct of Sir John towards the prisoner and her mother
was certainly not creditable to him, or what would have
been expected from a person in his situation; but the
jury would consider whether this disentitled him to
credit. His Lordship then referred to the other circum-
stances in the case, observing that the evidence given by
the witness Russell was certainly most suspicious; and
it was for them to consider how far they ought to allow
it to go in the light of confirmation of the prosecutor's
story. They would look at all the circumstances of the
case, and say, by their verdict, whether they consi-
dered the charge had been made out to their satisfaction
or not.

The jury immediately returned a verdict of Not
Guilty; and the accused lady left the court accompanied
by her husband and friends.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The United States frigate
St. Lawrence, 44, Captain Paulding, which arrived on
Thuestlay from Bremen, hoisted an Union Jack at her
fore yesterday morning at ten o'clock, and saluted with
twenty-one guns; and afterwards hoisted a blue ensign
at the fore, and fired seventeen guns, the former for the
garrison flag, and the latter for the Commander-in-Chief.
The platform battery acknowledged the former, and the
Victory the latter c tmpliment with an American ensign
at the tore. Soon after nine o'clock this morning the
American weighed iron the Motherbank for Southamp-
ton in tow of the tug of that port, although the Go-
vernment tug, Echo, had been applied for by Ame-
rican Vice-Consul, and most promptly granted by the
Admiral-Superintendent for that purpose. She saluted
the royal standard this time on passing. That notice
was taken of the conduct of the American captain upoa
these points, may be inferred from the fact of the Ad-
miralty having inquired whether he had saluted or not.
and requiring to know if (and when) he did before
leaving this port, or in passing the royal standard at
Osborne.

The Driver steam-sloop, Commander C. R. Johnson,
returned from Devonport on Friday night, and came into
the harbour yesterday morning.
The Sharpshooter steam-schooner, Lieutenant• Co-
mmander Bagley, was docked again on Friday, and is
again in the hands of the engineers. She is also having
the cause of the loss of her quarter boat during the late
cruise remedied by longer davits being fitted, &c.
The Orestes, 14, Commander Hawker, has sprung a
leak in her magazine, and it is expected will also have to
come into harbour, and be docked.
Extract of a letter from the Adelaide steam schooner,
Master Commander Forbes, dated " At sea, October 21.
We sailed with a Line wind in company with the Dover,
from Plymouth, on the morning of the 29th of
September, and had a fine run to the 2d of October,
when the wind shifted round to the S. W., and
came on to blow a very heavy gale, which lasted four
days ;we were then off Cape Finisterre. The Ade-
laide we found to be, contrary to our expectations, a
good sea boat, and (contrary to yours) very dry and a
good sailer, making 7 knots on a wind and 9.5 off. We
lost sight of the Dover on the Ist, and did not see her
again during the voyage. We made the passage in 17
days, and the Dover in 20. We should have made the
passage two days sooner if it had not come on to blow a
very heavy gale from the S.W., which compelled all the
ships lying at Funchal to put to sea. We hove too
under the lee of the island in company with the Cyclops,
Linnet, and an American frigate. Teneriffe is now in
sight, and I expect to make Santa Cruz this evening
and sail to-morrow for the Cape de Verds." On the
Adelaide arriving at the place after which she is named,
she will be fisted as a steam tender to that port, but her
officers and crew will be turned over to andl borne
upon the books of the Havannah, 22, Captain Erskine.
If Mr. Forbes succeeds in reaching the point of his de-
stination without loss, he will deserve his promotion.
Wind S.W., moderate breezes and cloudy weather.
