12s. 6d.—part was owing him, and that squared it be-
tween him and Witcher.

Mr. Inspector Field's evidence, taken at the first exa-
mination of Witcher, was the❑ read over, which proved
that, in consequence of information he received, he went
to Mr. Samara's house after Witcher was apprehended
by Inspector Brannan, and asked if they had not re-
cently purchased some French merinoes and mousselin
de !eines, and Mr. John Saward admitted it, and pro-
duced several pieces. Ho asked them if they had not
more, and the prisoner said their shopman left them last
week and they did not know what they had. They pro-
duced an invoice for 601. less 5 per cent., making 57/.
By Mr. Parry—l saw Mr. Saward on Saturday, Sun-
day, Wednesday, and Friday, the day I took him into
custody. The merinoes and de laines uncovered were
given up on Wednesday, and on that same day the black
meriao and eight other pieces of different colours.
By Mr. BEanom—Ele brought several pieces of black
forward. Mr. Wilson identified one piece. I received
the invoice on Monday morning from Inspector Bran-
nan. Witness had ascertained that 571. was paid by
Mr. Saward.

By Mr. Crombic—But only from the prisoner; and
no proof of the fact. Believe 204 was paid first. Then
there were three or four payments; and ultimately a
balance of 241.

Mr. Field ;hen went into a full detail of the facts as
regarded Mr. Saward, which only confirmed Mr. Crom-
bie's opening statement; and he was further corrobo-
rated by Mr. Thomas Bent, the detective officer of the
South-Western Railway, who proved that there was
great reluctance on the part of Mr. Saward to produce
the articles.

The next important witness examined was Mr. Charles
Wilson, manager in the house cf Charles Candy and Co.,
who identifi,d the principal articles and dresses found
by lospcctor Brannan at Witcher's house, and also
proved the cost of the different materials, which were
manufactured by the firm of Patna and Co., of Paris,
being first produced on the banks of the Loire. He also
proved that two of the articles were alone made for
their house.

Mr. G. Senior, the landlord of the Black Horse, Crown-
street, Finsbury, was afterwards called, and swore that
he knew Pamplin and Witcher, but had never seen the
prisoners Saward and Pamplin in his house together,
and never had any goods there.
Mr. BEADON consented to release Mr. Saward on bail
for 4001. till the 26th of August, when the case would
be brought up for committal, there being no necessity in
the interval for bringing Mr. Saward from his business,
as all the evidence affecting him had been given.
Mr. Games, with respect to Witcher, applied for a
gold watch and chain, two gold keys, and three silver
watches, besides other valuable property taken from him,
to be given up, that he might prepare for his defence,
especially as no claim had been made by any other party.
Mr. BEADON allowed the application, but would not
permit some gold to be given up.
In the case of Sally Winter, who was taken into cus-
tody, and 200 sovereigns found upon her, Mr. Solomon
applied for bail, as no evidence was tendered that day.
Mr. Crombie opposed it, or any of the money being
parted with, and she was remanded till Monday next.
