such a miscreant, who joined These men in the assumed
spirit of friendship aud' co-operation, who gave
them ammunition and stimulated them to crime,
and who all the time was in communication with
the police ? Would it not have been more be-
coming a beneficent Government to have adopted
the advice of Lord Denman, that it was the duty of the
magistrate to crush crime in the bud, not to foment it,
and have stopped the conspiracy before it earned the title
of one? Would they not have adopted such a course in
their own establishments? Certainly they would.
Powell swore that it was declared at one of the meetings
that the object of the conspiracy was to "destroy the
power of the Queen, and to establish a republic." They
could not believe him. lie said that this was uttered
at a committee meeting of ten, at which he
had no business to be present. It was not
unlikely that the words bad bei,n suggested by the po-
lice, under whose tutelage he had been for some time.
A person could not get into more dangerous hands than
those of the police.
Mr. Justice ERLE said, the Learned Counsel had no
right to asperse any body of persons in the way he had.
lie found by experience that those who aspersed the
police were generally accomplices of the parties accused
of offences which the police had brought home to them.
Mr. KENEALY—Does your Lordship apply that ob-
servation to me?

Mr. Justice ERLE—I speak generally.
Mr. KENEALY went on to say, that Powell being in
the pay of the Government, felt it necessary to exagge-
rate, in order to obtain the conviction of the prisoner.
Doubtless, he would be rewarded with a situation in the
police. If he could deceive people for three months,
notwithstanding they watched him with lynx eyes, was
it not more than probable, that notwithstanding the guise
of honesty put on by him, he might succeed in deceiving
the jury for three hours? He said he had called upon
God by the most solemn asseverations a man could utter
to witness that he was true to them. He swore falsely
theu, and he could swear as damnably false here.
He would show, by unimpeachable evidence, that the
prisoner was most loyal, and had often said that the
Queen was one of the best monarchs that ever sat upon
the English throne. The Learned Counsel conclued an
address that lasted for upwards of three hours and a
half, by calling upon the jury to acquit the prisoner,
and thereby read the Government a lesson, and tell them
that the juries of England would not uphold such infa-
mous prosecutions as the present.
The Court then adjourned for a short time.
The Court then adjourned for a short time, and upon
its resuming, at a quarter past two o'clock,
Mr. KENEALY called several witnesses, among whom
was a person named
Inglis, who stated that he and the prisoner had agreed
to correspond in short-hand, and the paper now pro-
duced was the copy of one that he gave the prisoner in
order to their correspondence in short-hand. Witness
had had his letters opened by the Post-office, and he
hthaonudg. ht he would try if he could correspond in short-

Irish Confederate. Had been in several parts
of Ireland. Did not go to Ireland to
make sketches for the Illustrated News. He
had used the words in cipher, of pikes, rifles,
fire, poison, pistols, barricades, Smith O'Brien, &c., in
order that he might write to the prisoner about the state
of Ireland, and that those who broke open his letters
might not read them. Witness was now with a litho-
graphic printer in Holborn, and had been with him for
four years. Knew nothing of Mullins. Had seen him

Once.
Re-examined—Had no disloyal design in giving the
document to the prisoner,
Mr. KENEALY then called several witnesses of great
respectabilty, all of whom stated their belief that the
prisoner was not a Chartist, and none of them had ever
heard anything disloyal fall from him.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then rose to reply, and was
left speaking when our Third Edition went to press.
The case appeared likely to last till eight or nine
o'clock.

NE W COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT and Alderman Sir
JOHN KEY.)
Charles Able, a porter in the employ of Sir H. Meux
and Co., was indicted with stealing a kilderkin of stout,
value 2fis., their property.
The case was clearly proved against the prisoner, and
The jury found him Guilty.
The COURT, on the application of Mr. Clarkson, who
appeared for the prosecution, postponed passing sen-
tence till next session.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)I
James Wilson, an ex-policeman, formerly in the D and E
divisions, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a
waistcoat and other property in the house of Mr. Garret, of
the Copenhagen Tavern.
It appeared that the prisoner was observed this morning
to come in at the back of the house and go up-stairs. On
coming down he was stopped and searched, and the property,
taken from one of the upper apartments, was found upon him.
He was committed for trial.

REGISTRATIONS. - (THIS DAY.)
CITY OF LONDON.
Mr. James Higham claimed to have his name inserted in
the list of voters for the parish of St. Olave, Jewry.
It appeared that he occupied an office at 7, Old J ewry, and
had tree ingress and egress at all times, but did not reside
upon the premises. There was only one entrance to the
house, and the landlord, who paid the taxes, bad lived there
until within the last three months.
Mr. Sydney Smith supported the claim, and Mr. Brown
held that the claimant had not a proper qualification, the
landlord having resided in the house during the last six
months.
The REVISING BARRISTER disallowed the claim.
