a condition to entertain the proposal, and to yield every
assistance which was in their power. He was, also,
on the direction of the Ballymena Railway, which
company was likewise interested in the project; and
he would repeat what he had before urged, that until
a step were taken by the landed proprietors, no rail-
way company would be in a position to aid in the

The Coroner then proceeded to read the letter. He
said it was very difficult to decipher ; but, as near as
he could arrive at it, the contents were these :
" Dear Friends—l have not the least doubt but what
you will think it strange at my doing what I have ;
but I have been very unhappy for some months con-
cerning a young man whom I was very fond of and
who I believe was very fond of me until my illness,
when he was over-persuaded by another young
woman (whose name could not be distinctly made
out). I never met the young man once but that I
fancied I could cut my throat." The writer then
went on to hope that they would not blame the young
man, as there was no one to thank for it but the young
woman mentioned above. She then went; on to say
that her last prayer was for Samuel, and she hoped
he would never marry that young woman, as if he
did he would never be happy. She then consigned
her soul to God, expressed her forgiveness of every-
body, and prayed that she might be forgiven for the
wicked deed. In conclusion, she made some remarks
about her mother, and wished all her friends a merry
Christmas and a happy new year.
The jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased
person committed the act, being at the time in an un-
sound state of mind."
Mr. Baker held an inquest on Saturday, at the
London Hospital, on the body of Robert Golder,
aged eleven years. The deceased was in the habit of
rolling over and tumbling in the.streets for the amuse-
ment of his companions, and on Friday week he
walked about on his hands, with his heels in the air,
when he fell heavily on the ground and injured his
right shoulder, and died on Thursday from conse-
quent injuries.—Verdict accordingly.
On Friday Mr. W. Carter held an inquest at the
Queen Elizabeth Tavern, Walworth-common, as to
the death of Elizabeth Edwin, aged 66. The de-
ceased was in the habit of washing for her daughter,
and on Tuesday the latter pulled her nose and slapped
her face. Deceased sat down, became very much
excited, and after a short time suddenly fell to the
floor, exclaiming, previously, " God will repay you,
if I don't." The jury, after some deliberation, re•
,urned a verdict of "Died by the visitation of God."

project.
Mr. RICLIARD DAVISON said he thought they
should confine themselves to the simple question as to
how far it would be desirable to establish a railway
commencing at Mellinger and terminating at the
terminus of the Ulster Railway. There could be no
doubt that, if they allowed the other proposal to be
carried out, they would allow the trade to be taken
away from their doors. There was a meeting, as they
had heard, to be held in Cavan, on Tuesday next, and
he considered it ought to be distinctly laid before it,
that the project could only be effected through the
instrumentality of a private company, and the landed
proprietors should be urged to come forward and hold
out sufficient inducements to them—to tell them they
would give them all the land that was required for
ten, or twelve, or thirteen years' purchase, as the case
might be. If this were done, there would be no diffi-
culty whatever in getting up a company. But, if the
shareholders had the prospect held out to them of
being left at the mercy of the owners and of the occu-
piers of land through which the line must pass, there
would be difficulties of the most formidable descrip-
tion ; and the fact would deter men of experience in
such matters from embarking in the speculation. If,
he repeated, a liberal offer, of the nature he had de-
scribed, were made, and that they were secured
against the annoyance of the many claimants for over
compensation, then it would be, without doubt, the
interest of the people of Belfast, and of the North
generally, that the thing should be commenced with-
out waiting for the Scotch people to move in the
matter at all. He would only say, further, that he
had himself had a conversation with a gentleman, in
London, who stated to him that, in case such induce-
ments were held out, he would give 10,000/. to com-
mence with.
Mr. M. J. ANHETELL said that he was acquainted
with the feeling of several of the most extensive
landed proprietors through whose estates the line in
question would run, including that of the chairman
and others, and he was in a position to state that it
was decidedly favourable. The line would pass the
estate of Lord Farnham, se ho would be ready, he was
convinced, to afford the company every facility pos-
sible, and to deal liberally with them ; then there
was Mr. Saunderson, Sir Thomas Leonard, Lord
Rossmore, Mr, Leslie, and Lord Caledon—all of whom
would be favourable to it. He was satisfied, in fact,
that the leading landed proprietors would be happy to
advance the plan so far as to give the re quired
ground at a moderate valuation,
Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD said he was not quite
sere whether the whole of the meeting was aware of
the change which had taken place iu the law, during
the late session, on the subject of the valuation of
land for railway purposes in Ireland. The Land
Clauses Consolidation Act had been repealed, in so far
es it bore upon such valuations; and it was enacted
that a valuator should be appointed, on application to
the Board of Works, and the company may enter
upon possession of the land they require by lodging
the amount of his award. There was an appeal pro-
vided for by traverse, as to an ordinary county court
presentment, before the next going judge of assize. It
was a most important alteration.
Mr. Hem:setae; observed that one great advantage
to be derived from their opening up communication
with the West of Ireland was this:—They were
placed here—such as were engaged in the linen trade
—in a peculiar position; for while they had demand
for their linen, aed an actual plethora of yarn, they
could not get weavers in sufficient numbers to manu-
facture the cloth. If they had a railway to connect
them with those portions of the country where the
people were suffering from want of employment,
both parties would be benefited—they would have
the advantage of the labour now going to loss, and the
poor people would have employment.
Mr. M. J. ANSETELL then proposed a resolution
to the effect that the meeting regarded a line of rail-
way from Armagh to Mullingar as highly desirable;
and that, as a preliminary step, the landowners, on the
intended railway, be invited to give every assistance
in their power to the completion of so valuable and
important an undertaking.
Mr. COATES seconded the resolution, which, being
put from the chair by the Right Hon. Chairman, was
carried unanimously.
It was, also, arranged, that a deputation from the
meeting would attend, on Saturday morning, at
eleven o'clock, at the Chamber of Commerce, for the
purpose of cousidering the steps necessary to be taken
in promoting the construction of the line indicated.

ATTEMPTED MURDER at LEEDS
A young man, a labourer, named Thomas Patrick,
is at present in custody, on the charge of having at-
tempted to murder a young woman to whom he had
been paying his addresses, but in the act of shooting
at her he appears to have wounded another female
who was near at the time.
The prisoner underwent a preliminary examination
before the borough justices on Thursday last ; and
from the statements then made the following appear
to be the circumstances under which the attack was
made. Jane Sunter, a young woman, nineteen years
of age, and residing with her father in Catherine-
street, at the Bank, had been courted by the prisoner
for tb) last tweve months, but latterly, for some rea-
son or other, she had declined to receive his addresses,
and requested him to discontinue his visits. The
prisoner, however, refuted compliance with the
request thus made to him, and still perse
vered in his visits, About a quarter before seven
o'clock on Wednesday evening he called, when par-
tially intoxicated, to ask Jane to accompany him to
the Casino, which she peremptorily refused to do,
Jane's mother being in the house at the time. He,
however, would take no denial, and on the principle
that perseverance conquers all difficulties, sat down to
chat snd smoke his pipe, but finding all his eloquence
unavailing, he at last laid hands upon her and tried to
drag ter to the doer, under the pretence that he
wantel to speak to her, but she would not go. A
neighbouring woman, named Crossley, was then sent
for to 'aelp to turn him out of the house, and during
the st7uggle which ensued, the prisoner, addressing
Jane 6unter, said, "If I don't meet thee to-night I
will in the morning. I've something in my pocket
that will quieten thee." Mrs. Crossley replied,
" Then scamp, thou means Malkin her' (alludiog
to the murder of a young woman at Hunslet
by her sweetheart, who was called Malkin).
At length he was got out of the house, and
it was supposed that be had gone away. Shortly
afterwards, while Jane Sunter was talking at the
door to Mary Ann Mills, Mrs. Crossley's sister, they
heard a noise like the report of a pistol, and imme-
diately Mary Ann Mills screamed out. Jane Sunter
looked and saw the prisoner standing in the middle of
the street, and observing something glitter, she
though a piece of pot had been thrown. On turning
to Mary Ann Mills, she saw she was wounded in the
forehead. Mr. Heald, surgeon, was immediately
sent for to dress the wound, and the injured person
has since the occurrence been confined to bed. On
examining the wall of the house where the two
females were standing, it was found that a piece of
brick bad been knocked out, it is supposed by the
charge from the pistol. The prisoner after firing
walked away, but was subsequently apprehended by
Police-officer Appleton. These facts having been
sworn to by the several witnesses called, the prisoner
was remanded until next Thursday, in order that
Diary Ann Mills, if sufficiently recovered, may give
evidence against him.— Leeds Mercury.

FINANCIAL REFORM ASSOCIATION.
On Thursday evening the annual meeting of this
association was held in the Concert Hall, Lord Nel-
son-street ; Robertson Gladstone, Esq., president of the
association, in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, who was received with great
cheering, said that this meeting, strictly speaking,
ought to have been held much earlier in the year,
and so ft.r as his own convenience was concerned
might have taken place in the commencement of last
month ; but it bad occurred to some of the members
of the council, with perfect good taste and right feel-
ing, that as her Majesty was then about to honour
Liverpool with a visit the exposure of the enormities
of our financial system was not the most fitting wel-
come for royalty, however much they might have
reason to believe the natural bent of her Majesty's dis-
position to be opposed to reckless extravagance and
national wrong.—(Hear, hear.) The great object of
their opponents was to succeed in representing to the
world that this association was formed for the purpose
of damaging the good old constitution, and even placing
Majesty itself in jeopardy ; but they hoped to show
the country that the purpose is to amend, not to
destroy. It was true, this association, in order
that no charge of omission might hereafter be brought
against them, have, as a matter of form, much more
than in any expectation that their prayer would be
listened to, petitioned the House of Commons, pray-
ing that they would reduce the national expenditure
—revise the entire system of taxation—relieve in-
dustry of its trammels—and, in order that all classes
of the people may bear what is their equitable pro-
portion only of the burdens of the state, that a
system of direct, instead of indirect taxation be sub-
stituted. But from the present House of Commons,
as now constituted, he feared there was little or
nothing to expect. Even the Government appear to
be aware of this evil, and contemplate bringing for-
ward a further measure of Parliamentary reform.
Mr. DouGess E. MILNE, the secretary, read the
report of the committee, which expressed the opinion
that how great soever may be the difficulty of finding
an acceptable and perfect scheme of direct taxation,
no plan can be possibly adopted so full of evil in
every imaginable form, and with so little counter-
vailing advantage of any kind, as that system of taxa-
tion now existing.
Mr. A. C. STEWART moved the adoption of the re-
port. He exposed the impolicy, absurdity, and
wickedness of spending the national money in sup-
porting schools and carrying out sanitary improve-
ments, while the Government imposed taxes on
knowledge and duties on soap, tea, and all those
articles which render home happy, and induce habits
of sobriety and morality in a people. Such taxes, he
said, ought to be repealed at once and for ever.
Mr. P. BOULT, in seconding the motion, observed
that the two objects which the association had in view
were a due and efficient economy in the expenditure
of the country, and a thorough reform of the existing
system of taxation.
The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which was car-
ried unanimously.
Mr. E. BRODRIBB then, in a long and able address,
which was repeatedly cheered, moved the adoption of
a petition in accordance with the objects of the
meeting.
Mr. L. HEYWORTH, M.P., seconded the resolution.
The resalution was put and carried.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE WINDER,

Mr. C. ROBERTSON moved the appointment of the
officers and committee for the ensuing year. Mr.
Robertson Gladstone was named as president, and
Mr. Lawrence Hey worth, M.P., vice-president.
Mr. C. E. RAWLINS seconded the resolution, which
was also carried unanimously ; and, after a vote of
thanks to the chairman, the meeting broke up.—

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING,

MERE RAILWAY.
A melancholy accident, resulting in the death ox
one of the men employed on this line, occurred at the
Staveley station on Wednesday last. It appears that
a luggage train, to which a passenger carriage was at-
tached, left Birthwaite shortly before two o'clock in
the afternoon of that day on its way to Kendal. It
had been expected that Mr. Crewdson, one of the di-
rectors, would return by that train to Kendal, and the
station-master at Staveley had accordingly put up
the red signal, as an intimation to the engine-driver
that he was to atop. The engine driver, whose
name is John Unsworth, and who is a very steady,
and trustworthy servant, and according to his state-
ment has been fifteen years in his present occupation,
accordingly, as he approached, slackened his speed,
and the deceased, whose name was Anthony
Stringer, and who was a porter on the line, and was
with some waggons behind, put on the break to
assist his comrade in pulling up. There appeared to
be a misunderstanding respecting the return of Mr.
Crewdson, and the station-master ordered the driver,
who was slackening his speed, to go on, making at
the same time a movement to that effect with his
hand. The deceased does not, however, appear to
have noticed any signal, and in consequence of
the sudden jerk caused by the partial putting on of
the steam was thrown off the break, across the rails
on the down side, close by the platform, having been
precipitated against a post at the end of it. He was
not missed by the engine-driver until the train
reached Kendal, but was found immediately after by
the Staveley stationmaster, his legs having been run
over by the train and severed from his body, except
by a piece of skin. Mr. Longmire, surgeon, was
immediately summoned from Kendal, and arrived
with a special engine, promptly supplied by the com-
pany, but attempts to rally the system proved un-
availing, and he expired about ten o'clock the same
evening. He was 25 years of age, and was a very
good and steady servant. It appears that the only
parties with the train were the engine-driver and the
deceased, who had it in management, and Mr. Hare
rison, the secretary, and the Rev. Mr. Addison, of
Birthwaite. An inquest was held, and the jury re-
turned a verdict of " Killed by being accidentally
thrown from the break on the rails, and run over by
the last carriage."

The suspension of Messrs. Quarles Harris and Sons
one of the oldest and most important houses in the wine
trade, was announced on Saturday morning. . Their busi-
nesa was extensive, alati it Is feared their liabilities will
prove large. The principal proportion, however, will pro-
bably fall in Oporto, where they had also an establishment.
Last year the firm stood second on the list of exporters from
Portugal, the total shipped by them having been 3,046 pipes.
The cause of their difficulties has not been stated, but it is
presumed to have been some time in operation, since although
there has lately been a partial depression in the wine trade, it
has not been such, looking at the ease of the money-market,
as to account for the failure of a house in their position.—

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec. 1.
(Before Lord CAMPBELL and a Special Jury.)
QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF KENNEDY V. ALLEYNE

In May, 1847, I heard that the mare waa an American
mare. _ _ _

No question was asked this witness in erosa-examina-
;ion.

AND OTHERS
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Cross-examined by Sir F. THESIGER' for Holder
Alleyne-In 1843 was the first time I knew Holder
Alleyne. He was then a Lieutenant in the 52d Regi-
ment. Ho was going to Nova Scotia, and I was going to
Canada. I should think that he was then twenty-six.
I had an annual allowance of 100/. My pay was 961. I
kept horses and carriages at Montreal. I kept two
horses; and a short time, for about four months, I had
a sleigh and a pony carriage. I frequented gambling-
houses, and went to two races. I lost 1,200/.
at roulette to a man of the name of Stewart.
If I lost to Etidon, I lost but very small sums
I gave a bill which, as I was not of age, he got
me to post-date. I did state to my brother
officers that I could not be compelled to pay the bill.
I stated that on discovering that the roulette wheel was
an unfair one. I have no recollection of laying a wager
of 500/. on the distance of the Rocky Mountains from
Montreal-not with Mr. Coiling wood. I never betted
with him more than 4/. or 5/. I laid wagers when I was
offered them, and thought I could win them. I was not
publicly reproved by the Adjutant-General for gambling.
I was spoken to privately. I left Montreal in debt. My
mother paid my debts - some hundreds certainly.
Amongst them was 500/. to Holder Alleyne on the
Liverpool Steeplechase, about the year it was first
run, and whose horse had won. I had been at Mon-
treal from November, 1843, and left in May, 1845. I
went for a month to Quebec. I arrived in England in
July, 1845. I went to the depot of the regiment at
Carlisle. I did not make bets till I met Holder Al-
leyne again-that was about May, 1846. I had not be-
fore that time won 2,000/ from Mr. Saville. I did not
win 2,000/., but about 1,200/. I was reprimanded for
gambling. I was reprimanded together with D'Arcy-
that was in November, 1847. Holder Alleyne came
from America in March or April, 1846. Saw him in
London. I first commenced betting in London, when
my bets were paid. I made a bet with him when we
were going down in the same carriage to Epsom races-
it was a bet on the Derby. I had no other bet of more
than a pound or two. Tho next occasion on which
I saw Holder Alleyne was at Hull. I first saw
him at Hull in August, 1846. At that time I believe
Joseph Alleyne was an undergraduate. He and his
brother dined at our mess. Nothing was talked about
Pigeon at the time of dinner; not that I remember. I
did not ridicule at table the notion of her performing the
feats spoken of. We went afterwards to D'Arcy's quar-
ters. At that time I had seen the mare, but only in the
stables. Holder Alleyne and Joseph Alleyne went to
D'Arcy'e quarters. Captain Crawford, of the 89th, and
some brother officers came in; amongst others Captains
Head and Phillips. We had cigars. I drank but little.
Holder Alleyne vaunted the prowess of his mare. He said
she was a very good little mare, but be did not tell us what
she could do. I ridiculed the notion of her being able
to perform anything extraordinary. I laughed at her
appearance; she was rough, and in bad condition. That
did not rouse him to say what she could do. Ho offered
me a great many wegene, Then I offered him ore or
two. We then proposed the one which we made; not
the sum. I cannot tell what I offered, for there were
so many. The wager was written down by D'Arcy,
ind signed by both of us. The sums were settled after-
wards between us. Holder Alleyne proposed the
amounts, and they were agreed to or not. Joseph Al-
leyne remonstrated with him on the folly cf making a
wager of that kind. He did not ask me to let him off the
bet. The next morning he offered to let me off if I paid
him 501. I refused. I said I did not make a bet to
give 504 for it. I saw the mare in the stable once at
Hull, but not after the large bet was made. I did not
see her until the following summer in London. I paid
on the 26th of December, 1846. After that time I fre-
quented races. I was not the owner of a horse called
the Knight of Gwynne. I hired a horse called Fortune-
teller from D'Arcy; its name was changed afterwards
to the Knight of Gwynne. I had an American pony, but
I never knew it by any name. I bought with Holder Al-
leyne a pony from Mr. Gaussen. I only knew it as an
American pony. I had 1,0001. bet on that pony, with
which Holder Alleyne went shares. It was purchased
in July, 1847. That match was forfeited. 5001. were
paid by the other side to me. Holder Alleyne got 125/.
for the man, as the man said he would not have forfeited
if he had not gone halves with him, so Holder Alleyne
got 375 L The match was made by me with a man
named Syas, and Holder Alleyne offered to go halves
with me. I allowed him to do so. He told me after-
wards that he had got Syas to make the bet with me,
and he got 1251. from me for Syas. He got Syas to
make the bet by telling Syas that he was to have half
Lhe money. I backed my horse Fortune-teller in the
Liverpool Steeplechase of 1850. I stood to win 12,000/.
I got 40 to 1 laid me in odds. Mr. Davis betted me
4,0001. to 100/. I did not win all that, but I won a small
amount. Holder Alleyne purchased Sir Tatton Sykes
for me. Holder Alleyne borrowed the money at three
per cent. He charged me 3,1501., and he bought for
3,0001. He bought Sir Tatton Sykes as my agent. He
,vas to go shares with me if he bought another horse of
the same value, which he did not do. It was necessary
to pay 500/. in order to prevent a forfeit of a former
engagement. Holder Alleyne furnished me with
the money. This was in August, 1847. In December
of that year I went to Bath. I went to the York House.
I kept four horses and a dog cart. I took Rudlow
House, at Bath, from the Christmas of 1847. My mo-
ther had lived at Bath for several years. I found no
difficulty in obtaining credit. I got plate and other
things. I got plate to the amount of 4001. and gave my
bill for it. I was afterwards in difficulty in London, and
pledged part of it at Vaughan's, and another part at
another place, when H. Alleyne was with me. I did
not pledge it in my own name. I remember wanting
money to go to the Liverpool Steeplechase. I did divide
a 10/, note, go to ono tradesman, show that half and get
10/.; and go to another, show him the other half, and
get another 101. on that. I received half the note, 10/.
or 5/, I cannot tell which. I went to the landlord at
the York House. I gave him part of the note which I
had, and asked him if he would let me have the amount
of it, and I would give him the other half when I re-
ceived it. He then said that I need not trouble myself
about it; that he would lend me the money, and put it
down in the bill. I said I should prefer not, and that I
would leave the half of the note with him, which
I did. I subsequently received the other half ; and
also by the same poet I received a letter from a
tradesman at Dover, to whom I owed a small sum,
telling me that if I did not pay him by return of post the
money I owed him, he would sue me. I was unable be-
fore the post went out to get the other half from the
landlord, and to save the post I sent the remaining half,
that is the half I had received that morning, and on my
seeing the landlord I told him I would take advantage
of his offer, and he gave it me, and I sent it to the
tradesman. I had paid the landlord's bill, 2001., about
that time. I had to pay my own bill and that of two
gentlemen who were with me, one of whom was D'Arcy,
that 3251. I have paid the rest under a judgment since.
the expense of furnishing Rudlow House amounted to
about 1,100/., of which I paid 4504, and my sister paid
the remainder in full. Getting into the house cost me
about 2,0001. I have made a mistake, I had three horses
and a dog-cart. I incurred considerable debts at Bath;
the largest was furnishing the house. An execution
was pat in, I applied for assistance to pay it out. I
borrowed 4004 from my solicitor, Mr. Newton. I
did not know at that time that he got the money from
Holder Alleyne-he has since been paid. A second
execution was put in. I then brought forward a bill
of sale I had given to Newton on paying off the first.
I have paid, or arranged to pay, all the debts at Bath;
there were other writs against me. I was afterwards
arrested and lodged in Hereford Gaol, that was in
August 1848. I was afterwards removed to the Qaeen's
Prison. Holder Alleyne visited me there; my uncle,
Captain Blair, once visited me there. I was in the
Queen's Prison about three weeks. I was lender en-
gagement with my sister, on her paying my debts, to
leave the country and go to France till my affairs were
settled. I came over in November to appear in the
India House when I got my cadetship, and then I was
arrested; two days afterwards I finally quitted the
country. I was only in custody about two hours.
From the beginning of the year 1846 to the end of
1848 I was in continual communication with Holder
Alleyne. I came over from Boulogne on one occasion
to see Mr. Crosse about drawing an indictment against
the defendant's. That was in October or November,
1848. I did not, till some time afterwards, give instruc-
tions for any civil proceedings, a bill in Chancery, not
till just before I left for India. It was to resist payment
of a bond for 4,0001., which I believed to have been
improperly obtained from me. It was about this trans-
action. Newton knew the whole of the circumstances.
I had made him acquainted with all the circumstances
in September, 1848, while I was in the Queen's Prison.
The bill in Chancery was withdrawn, and the costs
paid, partly by me and partly out of the trust fund.
All the letters were given up about that time. The
letter were extorted from me by a threat to take out
execution against me on. a warrant of attorney, on a
judgment which was payable in May, 1848, for 7801.
Cross-examined by Mr. HUMPBREY, for M`Geachy
Alleyne-I was at Sandhurst with M‘Geachy Alleyne.
He is a few months younger than I. He expressed his
regret that his brother had made such a bet with me, as
he was in my regiment. At one time I hid a higb
opinion of M`Geachy Alleyne. I have not lately said
that he had had nothing whatever to do with defrauding
me. I said that I believed he was corrupted by his
brother in Canada. I did not say that I believed he had
nothing to do with the conspiracy or the fraud. I did
not say so to Mr. Bryer, the veterinary surgeon. I be-
lieve I said also that I believed he was a most high prin-
cipled man till he was corrupted by his brother.
Cross-examined by Mr. SIRS, for D'Arcy-At Hull,
O'Hara was the joint servant :of me and D'Arcy. At
Rudlow D'Arcy went down at my express invitation to
come to Bath. We were on terms of friendship. He
was ill, and I thought it would do him good. I did not
advise him to leave the army. Before I loft for India I
had lent him money, and he had lent me money at
various times. The account is I believe slightly in my
favour. The last sum that I received from him was
5001. I gave him no acknowiedgment.
Re-examined by Mr. JAMES-Holder Alleyne had re-
ceived from me about 12,000/. from the date of the intro-
duction on board the vessel in 1843 to September, 1847.
[The witness here gave the particulars., Holder Alleyne
came down to Bath once. The debts at Bath have been
paid or settled. Ido not owe D'Arcy anything now.
Captain Edward Head examined-I am pay master in
the 89th Regiment of Foot. I was at the depot at Hull
in 1846. I knew Kennedy. I know Holder Alleyne, but
not M‘Greachy. I was present when the bet was made
about Pidgeon. The Rev. Joseph Alleyne was present.
He was an undergraduate at that time. It was in D'Arcy's
room,. Holder Alleyne said be had bought the mare in
Eugland, and that she was an Eugiish mate. I did nut
know theiranthng about the mare being an American mare.
I waa in giment when Alr. Kennedy paid the 7,8001.

a. these circumstances it

eenee, anti mad
the jury to say _
'lhe Court then adjourned til

.
to•rcorroW (this Gig).

Bryer examined—l was a veterinary surgeon at
Cheltenham in 1846. Holder Alleyne was at Chelten-
ham in October, November, and December, 1846. I at-
tended this mare, Pidgeon, in November, 1846. Mr.
Holder Alleyno called me in. It was standing at livery
stables. The mare was lame. I continued to attend the
mare—l believe daily down to the 10th of December.
She was still lame. Holder Alleyne told me she was en-
gaged in a match. He asked me if I was a betting man,
for if I was he would let me into a good thing. I told
him I did not bet. I told him I did not think she would
do the match. Sho was in a state that she might at-
tempt the match, but not go through it. I saw her in
January or February this year at Northleach. She was
out of the stable, and was lame. Before January, 1847,
she was not in a condition to perform a match.
Cross-examined by Sir F. THEsIGER—I am not posi-
tive whether I saw her after the 10th of December,
1346. My opinion was that she had navicular disease.
In my opinion that disease is incurable. There was no
visible disease. The horse was trotted up and down
near the stable, and showed lameness. I did not know
whether it increased or decreased with exercise. I have
not seen racehorses with that disease, but I have seen
horses on the road with it. The lameness in some degree
goes off by warmth. She was in very good condition—
good hard condition. Holder Alleyne said she was an
extraordinary trotter.
Cross-examined by Mr. HUMFREY—I saw Mr. Ken-
nedy, the prosecutor, when the indictment was pre-
ferred. I was speaking to him of M`Ceeachy Alleyne
among other things. Mr. Kennedy did not say that he
(M,Geachy Alleyne) had had nothing to do with the
conspiracy or the fraud. Ho said ho was sorry for
M'Geachy, for he thought he had been drawn into it by
his brother.
Re-examined by Mr. JAMES—I told Holder Alleyne
that it was the navicular disease. It interfered with the
action of the foot.
Ignatius Francis Coyle, examined by Mr. JAMES—I
come from Newgate, where I am under sentence. I
know Holder and M'Geachy Alleyne. I was at one
time on intimate terms with them. In November, 1846,
I saw them both at Cheltenham. At that time Holder
Alleyne owed me 3751. Holder Alleyne told use in a
private room at the Plough, " that an unfortunate acci-
dent had occured; that he had a trotting match for a
large sum of money with a young officer named Ken-
nedy; that had the animal kept right fur another month
he would have won a very largo sum of money, more
than I had ever won on the Derby or St. Leger." I said
I never knew such large sums of money betted upon
trotting iu this cuuutry. He, said this was a private
match ho had made himself. He then told me that
the mare had been trotting on the Tewkes-
bury-road, and when he got her home to his
stable he found her dead lame. He asked me
what he ought to do under these circumstances. I ad-
vised him to go and see Mr. Kennedy and make the best
compromise he could. He told me he got her at Liver-
pool, and M'Gcachy Alleyne, who was by tell the time,
gave a horse laugh. I said, " There is something in this
more than you let me know." He then told me he had
brought her over from America with him, thet her
name was " Fanny Jenks," and no one knew anything of
her bat his brother and Colonel Blois. M'Geachy
Alleyne heard the whole of the conversation, and said to
his brother, " You had better be advised by Coyle."
Holder then said to M'Geachy, " Then you must go to
Hull and see Kennedy." Holder gave me a cheque for
375/., and I went to town. I went down to Cheltenham
in consequence of this letter, which I received from
Holder Alleyne. (Cheque read, dated November 30.)
I afterwards saw Holder Alleyne at my house, in Alex-
ander-square, Brompton. He asked me, if I saw Ken-
nedy, would I say I had two matches on with him
(Holder Alleyne) for 1,0001. each? I asked him what
his object was? He said he was obliged to say so in
order to get a settlement out of Kennedy. I asked him
what compromise he had come to of the former match?
Ha said Kennedy being an old friend of his and his
brother's, he had let hies off for 5001. forfeit. He said
nothing about having received 7,300 L I know Holder
Alleyne's handwriting. These letters are in his hand-
writing. (Letters read, addressed to witness. The sub-
stance of them has been already stated.)
Cross-examined by Sir F. THEsIGER—I have been
convicted of forgery, and sentenced to twelve months'
imprisonment. It was on the evidence of the Alleynes
I was convicted for uttering a forged acceptance of Lord
Clifden. Lord Clifden was also a witness.
Re-examined—They bad kept the bill for two years
before telling Lord Clifden. I was convicted on the evi-
dence of these two defendants.
By Lord CAMPBELL—There was a letter from myself
laid before the jury. The prosecution was instituted
some weeks after my name was on the back of this bill.
I had previously bee❑ charged with forgery before a
magistrate, but the charge had been withdrawn. I was
threo times before the magistrates.
Charles Craddock examined—ln November and Do•
cembar, 1846,1 was in Mr. Bryer's employ at Chelten-
ham. I attended Holder Alleyne's mare once. It was
lame at the time. I took the bill to him. He said he
should not pay Bryer, as he had ruined his mare.
Sir John Kirkland examined—l am an army agent in
Pall-mall. On the 28th of December, 1846, I received
on account of Mr. Kennedy from Coutts's the sum of
8,3641. 16s. 9d. On the 29th of December, 1846, I re-
ceived an order to transfer 7,360/. from Mr. Kennedy's
account to the credit of Holder Alleyne. I did so on
the 31st.
Mr. Kennedy recalled—At the trial of Coyle, Holder
Alleyne, in his evidence, stated that he had received
7,3601. from me. M`Geachy Alleyne also said he had
received 2,850/, on the 20th of January, 1847, bat be
said it was not part of what his brother had received
from me. He said it was not all for himself.
Cross-examined—He said 1,6504 was transferred to
his brother Joseph's account, and, that of the 1,0001. he
had for himself 5001. had been given him by his brother
Holder, and the other 5004 was a loan. Lie always de-
nied that he knew that the money was part of what his
brother had received from me. Holder Alleyne also
said the same.
Captain Blair examined—l reside in Montague-square.
lam the prosecutor's uncle. I obtained the cadetship
for him in November, 1848. He was obliged to leave
England in three months after his appointment.
James Hooper examined—l was clerk to Cox and
Son's, the army (Tents, in 1846. They were the agents
of Mr. D'Arcy in that year. There was an order to
pay him a sum of money. This is the handwriting of
M'Geachy Alleyne. (The affidavit was then put in
upon which the defendants got the trial postponed.
They undertook to give material evidence on this oc-
casion.)
Coyle was then recalled, and spoke to a conversation
with D'Arcy, in which he said he had received 1,200/.
or 1,5001. of the 7,3601. received from Kennedy.
Some evidence was then put in with the view of prov-
ing payment of the bets, and the case for the prosecution
closed.

Sir F. TIIEBIGER addressed the jury for the defendant
Holder Alleyne.—He said, long as the case had lasted,
it was impossible hetcould allow it to terminate with such
witnesses as Kennedy and Coyle. The charge itself, as
well as the manner in which it had been introduced to
the jury, were such as would be likely to prejudice their
minds against the defendants. Holder Alleyno was not
Kennedy's intimate, but M`Geachy Alleyne was. In-
stead of its being the fact that Holder Alleyno had
inoculated the prosecutor with the love of gambling, the
fact was that from the very first ho had indulged in
gross extravagances. One was as willing to bet as the
other was, and there was no pretence for saying that
Holder Alleyno had induced the prosecutor to bet.
Kennedy, like many other foolish young men, had con-
tracted debts at Montreal, which his friends had been
induced to pay; and having become old in youth, he now
wished the jury to believe that he had not fallen again
into gambling till, on his return to England, he again
fell into Holder Alleyne's company. The defendant
had done no more thee the prosecutor had done, se.z.,
made bets when he expected to win. The false
pretences charged were that the mare had trotted
18 miles within an hour, that she was sure to win, and
that he had two other bets of 1,0001. each on her. All
that was true. There was no allegation that the defen-
dant had represented the mare to be an English mare;
and as to the change of name, that was a practice com-
mon on the turf in order to conceal the pedigree. The
mare was no doubt an extraordinary mare. There was
no evidence of any improper inducement being made use
of to get the prosecutor to enter into this bet, and the
fact that the defendant had offered the next day to re-
lease the prosecutor for a small profit showed that he
had no desire to take any advantage; but would prove
that the mare was in excellent condition to run the
match, and she was actually on the way to the place
when she was recalled because the wager had been paid.
It would be proved that the mare was not lame from
January, 1847, to January, 1851, and that the disease
was not incurable; and that she could not have won the
match in January, 1847, though Bryce said the con-
trary. It was remarkable that the prosecutor never in-
quired into the state of the mare, but paid the bets and
became joint owner. The prosecutor had raised a
prejudice by asserting that the defendant got back
his . two letters under a threat 'of arrest, but the
fact was that the defendant had actually lent him money
when he was in difficulties. The Learned Counsel hero
read a letter from the prosecutor to the defendant—
written after the time when he now said he had insti-
tuted proceedings against him—in which he apologised
for unfriendly expressions which he had made use of,
and acknowledged that be had spoken under feelings of
irritation, when it was most likely he was misled. The
prosecutor's statement as to the way in which the 7,3001.
had been arranged could not be true, for it was incre-
dible that he should have become half owner of the mare
without exercising his right, or calling upon the defend-
ant to exercise it for their common benefit.
Mr. HUMFRET addressed the jury for I.l.‘Geachy Al-
leyno, who, at the time of the original bet, was in Ame-
rica. It was only by forced inferences that it could be

of felony. There was no pretence for imputing fraud
at all, and still less for saying that M`Geachy Alleyne
was privy to it. The character of the mare was excel
lent, and if she had been well there could be no doubt
that she would have won the race; and even as it was,
the lameness would have gone off as she warmed in ex-
ercise. Under these circumstances it was monstrous to
impute fraud and conspiracy to the defendant 11‘Geachy
Alleyne.
Mr. SIRR, for the defendant D'Arcy, said that, even
snpposing the other defendants to be guilty, there was
nothing to fix guilt upon his client. The only fact
against him was that he had received payment of some
money from Alleyne, which might have teen due upon
some turf r.,
to pay out of the money received from the prosecutor.
The facts were quite compatible with D'Aroy's
