EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated ander 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.

It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.

The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
goached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against less for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.

With this-view an annual investigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fltty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
seen in force for three years.
lasurances against Lose by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Pronerty on moderate terms.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURTEI ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication:—
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England,
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2601.—making
together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.

The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1249, and
the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 Pelicks, amounting to 52,0631.25. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. Gs.
gixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,048/., upon which 3201. 31.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of Juno last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 125. 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 11e. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the let of June last equal to
2,991/. 15e. 11d.

•
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,133/. I Is. 10e1. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
.de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con-
siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An-
nuities both Immediate and Deferred.

After various resolutions, approving of. the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.

THE FRIMLEY MURDER.

NEW WORK, Edited by ELIOT WARBURTON, Esq.
Now ready, In 2 vols. Sro.. with Portraits, 21s. bound,
M ,D EAIOIRS OF
lIIS CO HO RACE
lESWALPOLE,
Including numerous Original Letters, chiefly from Strawberry 11111

The trial of the three men charged with the murder of the
Rev. Mr. Hol'est at Frimley, having been appointed for this
morning, the utmost anxiety was manifested to hear the
proceedings. It was arranged that the court should not be
opened until ten o'clock, but as early as eight the doors of
the court-house were literally besieged by an anxious crowd.
At ten o'clock the Learned Judge took his scat on the
bench, and the prisoners, Levi Harwood, 29, Samuel Har-
wood (his cousin), 25, and James Jones, 29, were placed at
the bar.
The indictment charged them with having, on the 27th of
Sep,ember, 1850, at the parish of Ash, feloniously made an
assault upon George Edward Holiest, and that they dis-
charged a pistol at him cont -iining a substance called a mar-
ble, and thereby gave him a mortal wound of which he lan-
guished until the following day, and then died.
The prisoners all pleaded not guilty.
Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Robinson
appeared for the Crown. The prisoners were separately de-
fended by Mr. Ballantine, Mr. Charnock, and Mr. Follett.
Mr. CHAMBERS, in opening the case for the prosecution,
said it had been thought advisable to admit as a witness for
the Crown a person who was concerned in the dreadful
crime, and when the jury had heard the statement he would
make, and the evidence that would be adduced in corrobora-
tion of it, he was certain they would entertain no doubt that
the charge against the prisoners was fully established, and
that they would feel it their duty to return a verdict of
guilty. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state to the
jury the law with regard to the testimony of accomplices,
and the corroboration which was required to be given of their
evidence ; and having briefly narrated the facts of the case,
the following evidence was adduced :
Mrs. Caroline Holiest examined by:Mr. CLARKSON—I am
the widow of the Rev. George Edward Holiest, the vicar of
Frimley. On the night of the 27th of September, last year,
we were residing at the Grove-house, Frimley. Mr. Holiest
went to bed about half-past ten, and I retired-to the bed-
room about five minutes to eleven. I locked the parlour
door before I went up-stairs. The staircase door and
the bedroom door were not locked. The bedroom door
opened on my side of the bed. The curtains of the bed
were open at the foot of the bed. We used to burn a light
at night. A little before three o'clock in the morning I
was awakened by an increase of light in the room, and
heard the voices of men at the foot of the bed. My hus-
band was also awakened, and we both got out of bed at the
same moment. At the moment I was getting out of bed I
saw two men in the room, and one of them called out to me
to be still, and put his hand upon my knee. That man had
a pistol in his hand—in his right hand. Ile held the pistol
close to my face. The other man also had a pistol in his
hand, and he pointed it at my husband, and said that if he
resisted he would blow his brains out. The man who was
standing by me also told me that he would blow my brains
out if I made any noise. I noticed the voice of this man.
After this I attempted to get out of bed to ring the bell,
when the man who was on my side of the bed laid hold of
me, and forced me upon the floor. This man had a light-
coloured mask upon his face. The other man also bad a
mask upon his face. The mask appeared of a darker colour.
I tried to free myself from him, but was unable to do so. I
think the same man was about me all the time. I knew
him by a peculiarity in his voice—a sort of squeaking voice.
While I was upon the ground I beard the report of a
pistol in the room, on my husband's side of the bed. He
was out of bed at the time. I could not see the flash of the
pistol in consequence of the bed curtains being drawn. I
did not observe what became of the second man I had
first seen. I was sitting upon the floor when the pistol
was discharged, and the man was standing over me, with
the pistol in his hand. After the pistol was dis-
charged I got upon my knees, and then upon my feet, and
struggled across the room towards Mr.Hollest's side. While
the man was still holding me, I managed to get hold of a hand-
bell that was on the fender, and rang it. I then observed
my husband struggling with two men near the fireplace.
After I had rung the bell, the two men left Mr. Holiest, and
went out of the room, and my husband went into the dress-
ing-room to get a gun, which was always kept there loaded.
The other man followed his companions almost immediately
after Mr. Holiest went out of the room. In a very few mo-
ments Mr. Holiest returned to the bedroom, and he exclaimed
" The fellow has shot me !" I bound up the wound, and did
what I could to staunch the blood. This occurred on the
morning of Saturday, the 28th of September, and on the
Monday following I saw the prisoner Levi Harwood at my
own house in custody. I heard his voice upon this occasion,
and I recognised it as being the same as that of the man who
had acted towards me in the way I have described. It was
my custom to receive subscriptions for the Frimley National
School, and a few days before this occurred I had received a
quantity of copper money from the schoolmistress. Caroline
Bullpen, and amongst this money there was a penny token.
I have since seen that token in the presence of Inspector
Hollington, and I now recognise it as the same one that I re-
ceived on the Saturday before the robbery. Among other
things that I lost on this night was a gold watch, which was
taken from my dressing-table. I had also noticed among
the coppers that there was one which had the name of Lloyd
upon it in rather large capitals. An old-fashioned gold watch
had als ) been taken from the dining-room, as well as some
wine and spirits from the cellaret. A cloak and two coats
were also taken from the passage. The cloak was afterwards
found upon the door steps, and two dresses, which had been
taken from a spare bed-room, were wrapped up in it. A
telescope and a decanter were brought to me on the same
morning by a carpenter in the village named Parker. All
these articles were the property of my husband.
Cross examined—l was awakened suddenly, and I imme-
diately observed two men standing at the foot of the bed.
Mr. William Holiest, my husband's brother, has since shown
me two green baize masks. I said upon one occasion that
both the men I saw looked like sweeps. Levi Harwood is
the man who struggled with me, and I came to that conclu-
sion from his voice and general appearance. The man, who-
ever he was, had abundant opportunity for shooting me if
he had been so mind-d. I thought that Smith was the man
who was struggling with my husband, and who shot him. I
think so still.
Mr. BALLANTINX —You still believe he was the man who
shot your husband ? Mrs. Holiest—l certainly do. That is
my deliberate opinion given upon oath.
By Mr. CHARNOCK—The fatal affray lasted but a very
short time, not more than seven or eight minutes. I have
never been asked to speak to any other person than Levi
Harwood and Smith, and I believe that the former was
struggling with me, and that Smith was the man who was
struggling with my husband.
By the COURT—I heard the reports of firearms. I don't
know whether the first was a pistol or a gun. I ascertained
afterwards that Mr. llollest's gun was discharged.
Mr. 11. Davis, examined by Mr. ROBINSON—I am a sur-
geon, residing near Frimley. In consequence of information
I received on the morning of the 28th of September, I went
to Mr. Hollest's house. I found him in bed, and with a
gun-shot wound about an inch below the navel. I attended
him until his death, which occurred at one o'clock on the fol-
lowing day. I made a post-mortem examination, and dis-
covered in the coats of the abdomen the marble which I now
produce. The injury deceased received was undoubtedly the
cause of death.

By commanding the markets, they buy a large stock
Of the best, when the prices are cheap,
And they always take care that the public who flock
To their mart, shall the benefit reap.

Thus the wealth that to some folks would be of no use,
Is employed for the good of mankind,
For MOSES and SON in their buying profuse,
To deal fairly are always inelined.
What they buy is the best, and its made up in style,
And they pay for a thing-when it's done ;
The smallest of profits content them the while,
They sell filty to any shop's one.
See the price at which MOSES will sell a geod coat,
Or a vest, or a hat, or a shawl,
Or trowsers, or boots, or a habit, and note,
They are cheaper and better than all.
Then MOSES and SON, may they long keep their health,
And of money the benefit reap,
For they share with the public the use of their wealth,
And supply them with clothes, good and cheap.

Richard Giles—T was in the service of the late Mr. Hol-
iest at the time this occurrence took place. I slept at the
top of the house. On the morning of the 28th September
I was awoke by the report of a gun. I was about
to go down stairs, when I beard a second report. I then
saw my master, but at that time I did not know he was
wounded. Upon going down stairs I found that the thieves
had got into the house by the scullery window. I after-
wards looked over the premises on the outside, and on the
gravel walk near the front door I saw the prints of naked
feet, which went in the direction of the lane to the entrance-
gate. I also saw at the front-gate the appearance as
though some one bad slipped down. Upon the lawn I
found an umbrella, and also two pieces of stocking. I also
found a piece of handkerchief over the scullery window. I
gave all these articles afterwards to Biddlecomb, the con-
stable.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Eleanor Vanner—l was housemaid in the family of the
deceased. On the Tuesday before this occurrence I remem-
ber a man coming to the house with dishes for sale. Hiram
Smith was that man. I did not purchase anything of him.
He asked me for something to eat, but I did not give him
anything. I had fastened all the shutters and windows be-
fore I went to bed on the night of the robbery. About three
o'clock on the following morning I was awoke by the report
of firearms, and when I went down stairs I found the rooms
in a state of confusion, and the property in them disturbed.
I found some pieces of green baize and an exploded gun near
my master's bed-room door, and also an old piece of hand-
kerchief.
Hiram Smith was the next witness called. He wore the
same forbidding, senseless expression as when on examination
before the magistrates, combining in a remarkable degree
the slight, active figure of the accomplished burglar, with a
cast of countenance at once cunning, cowardly, and cruel.
For a moment, on entering the witness-box, he looked
abashed and unable to raise his eyes or to confront the
furious glances which his associates darted at him from the
dock, but by degrees his confidence returned, and it was
quite remarkable to observe the cool, easy style in which he
surrendered himself to the examination-in-chief, and the
half petulant air of injured innocence with which he replied
to the searching interrogatories of the counsel for the
accused. He said—Richard Trowler is my real name, and
I am a labourer. On the 27th of September last I lived
at the Wheatsheaf public house in Guildford, and Jones
lodged in the same house. Levi Harwood put up at the
Swan beer-shop in Gower-lane. I did not know where
Samuel Harwood lived. Some days before the robbery (on
Tuesday) I and Samuel Harwood went to Frimley expect-
ing to see a fight. Jones gave me two dishes to take and
find out where the clergyman lived, but did not tell me
why. Samuel Harwood did not go into Frimley,
I called at about sixteen houses, and at last found out where
the clergyman lived. I did not sell the dishes there, but I
did at a little low house on Frimley.green. I saw 2:female
servant at the clergyman's. I met Samuel Harwood where
I left him, and we went into the Wharf public-house bard
by. We had a pot of beer, two pennyworth of bread, and a
pennyworth of butter. After this we went towards Guild-
ford, Samuel parting company with me at Woodbridge. I
saw Jones the same evening, and he asked me if I had found
out where the cleegytnan lived, to which I said "Yes."
That was all that passed on the subject then. The same
night Jones asked me if I would go to Frimley ; that him
and Sam were going; and I said I would go too. 'Nothing
was said as to what it was for, and it was agreed that who-
everfwas first on the road should wait for the rest. On Fri-
day evening, at half-past five, I and Jones left the Wheat
shea', I going first with a halfquartern loaf and half a pound
of cheese. I looked down by the station and across the fields,
and caught sight of Jones ahead of me, under Woodbridge-
hill. I never saw anything of the two Harwoods until I
had got to within two and a half or three miles of Frimley,
on the top of a hill which leads on to a common. We were
there all four together, about nine or half-past nine o'clock.
Levi llarwood then loaded two pistols, which he had in his
pocket, with marbles. Jones asked him what he had got to
put in them, and he said that he had three stone marbles
one was rather larger than the other two, but they would fit
the barrels. We all were standing close together, and must
have heard what was said then. He asked for a piece of
paper, which I forget whether I or Sam gave him. When
the pistols were loaded Levi put one in his pocket, and gave
one to Jones. I had the baize with which the masks were
made. Jones made his., and I made mine, and no others
were made. Jones carried a small parcel, which he said
contained a white Guernsey. We then went on towards
Frimley. Levi, Harwood, and Jones went first, and Saul

and I remained 200 yards on the other side of the bridge,
where I left him on Tuesday. We remained there five or six
minutes, and when we got in Frimley we found the other
two standing under a tree on a little bit of green in front of
Mr. Robert's house. It was then between half-past 10 and
11 o'clock. While we were there I cut some of the bread
and cheese I bad. Jones and Levi Harwood went round
Mr. Hollest's house, and then came back and fetched me and
Samuel. I went to the back of the House and left Samuel
standing under a cypress in front. I pulled off my shoes near
the scullery window, and Jones and Levi took off theirs and
carried them to Samuel Harwood.
Mr. M. CHAMBERS—Did they wear their stockings? Wit-
ness—l never saw Jones with stockings, and I had no feet
to mine in summer time. Samuel had his shoes and stock-
ings on. There had been a window troken before I arrived
there, but I could not say who broke it. I got into the
scullery.
Mr. M. CHAMBERS—How came you to get in ? Witness
—Being the smallest I got my hand and leg through, and
they pushed me in as well as they could. With a worm I
worked holes inside near the iron bar, which the others forced
from its place and then got in. We all got into the kitchen,
and began to look about. I held the candle, which was a
piece Jones had in his pocket. Levi Harwood took 2s. from
a workbox in the kitchen, and we then went into a sitting
room, where we found an old-fashioned gold watch and
a sWer bungling watch, engine-turned, a large silver snuff-
box, a small silver snuff-box with a fine hinged lid. We
drank some wine, but I can't say who it was taken by. It
was not by me. They told me to take a decanter out and
give it to Sam, while he stood under the cypress tree, which
I did.
Mr. M. 0/AMBERS—Did you take anything else? Wit-
ness—A humberellar and a telescope.
The telescope was produced, and he was asked to identify it.
Witness (with an air of great candour)—lt's something
like, but I would not like to swear to it. (Laughter.)
When I went back to the house I found they had cut their
way out of the room where I had left them, and were in, a
room on the other side of the passage. Jones went down
into the pantry and brought up some bread, cheese, and
meat, which, however, I did not cut, and it was carried
away. We then went into a room upstairs where there was
no one sleeping, and we took out of it one dress hanging on
the bed, and two out of a chest of drawers. We then went
downstairs, and I went outside to fetch Samuel Harwood
in. Jones put on a green baize mask and a cloak. I did so
too. Levi Harwood put on a white mask and his white
guernsey. Samuel Harwood put nothing on. Jones then
went upstairs with a pistol in his right hand; Levi Har-
wood, with a pistol in his right hand ; myself third with the
candle, which was lighted; and Samuel Harwood fourth,
with a screwdriver. In that order we entered the bed-
room, Samuel Harwood remaining at the door. Mrs. Hol-
iest awoke first, and Levi Harwood said, " If you don't lay
still, my good woman, I'll blow your brains out." We were
all standing at the foot of the bed then. Mrs. Holiest got
out of bed, and, to my best belief screamed. Jones catched
hold of her, and thrust her up in the corner. Mr. Holiest
then awoke, and was getting off the foot of the bed to lay
hold of Levi Harwood. Levi fired the shot.
Mr. M. CHAmhEns—What did you do? Witness—l took
the gold watch off the stand, which was on a washhandstand
or table at the foot of the bed. We then all four ran down
stairs. Samuel Harwood was first, and we went out at the
front door, which had previously been fastened back with the
door mat. Samuel had pulled off his boots when he came
into the house, and had bare feet when he ran away. We
ran into the road, then along the main road, and over a gate
into a stubble field, where we put our shoes on. Levi Har-
wood said there, " I hope to God it's not killed the man."
After that we crossed the common, and carrying the bread
and cheese and meat, which I threw into a ditch when I had
got some distance. We went in company together for four
or five miles across a common, which brought us out against
the canal. I gave the gold watch, two miles before we
parted, to Levi Harwood. Jones and Samuel Ilarwood took
with them to Guildford the two pistols, two boys'
great coats, two umbrellas, and a bag of copper
money. Jones gave Levi his pistol, who took the
contents out and gave both back to him or Samuel
(I cannot swear which) to take to Guildford. I did
not see where the bag of copper money came from,
but it was handed to me, and I gave it to Sam at the same
time as I took him the telescope and umbrella. Jones said
he had been bad with the yellow jaundice, and thought I
had better go to London with Levi, and accordingly we
walked on. We had got about a mile from Kingston to-
wards London when Levi said that I had better go back by
a road waggon, and gave me sixpence. I found a waggon—
Mr. Roker's, of Godalmin— at a public-house, and after wait.!
ing I got back in that to Guildford. I went to the Wheat-1
sheaf, and saw Jones there, who asked me where Levi Har-1
wood was. I told y
him he would not allow me to go any;
further than Kingston. Levi on returning from London
came to the Wheatsheaf, and called Jones out about a quar-
ter-past eight. They were out together about twenty mi-
nutes„ and when Jones returned he asked if I was inclined
for a walk. I said I was. He then said that the goods had
fetched W., and Jones gave me three halfcrowns. I took
some things out of pawn with this money. On the Sunday,
about a quarter to ten in the morning, I saw Levi Harwood
and Jones. That evening Mr. Hollington took us into
custody.
Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—When I received
the three half-crowns I had no money, and had been with-
out any for some days. On Tuesday I had a penny, on
Wednesday I earned is. 3d. by work, on Thursday I had
some coppers, and on Saturday 6d. from Levi Harwood.
had no notion why Jones wished me to find out the clergy
man's house.

Mr. BALLANTINN-Why did you not ask? Witness—Be-
cause I were in a hurry to find out whether there was a fight
there or not. I was only thinking cf being in time to see the
fight. I can't say if I asked for anything to eat or drink at
the clergyman's house. I might have done so; but I was
not angry when I left.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Did you say to a person named Hon-
ley, that you had been up to the parson's, and that he
would not give you so much as a drop of beer? Witness—
I can't say that I did so or I did not. I should not like to
swear that I did not.

Mr. BALLANTINE—Did you not say you hoped something
would happen to the b— b— before the week was out,
and that he might die within the week? Witness —Them is
expressions I never made use of. I might have said it or I
might not. I will not swear.
Mr. BALLANTINE—He did die within the week? Witness
(confidently)—lt was not through me.
Mr, BALLANTINE—We'II see presently.
Witness—l should think it was, as near as I can say, about
three o'clock when I was at Frimley on the Tuesday. I got
back to Guildford about eight o'clock. I never inquired the
price of a pistol at any time.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Did you ever go by the name of Fly-
man? Witness—Some people call me that. I did rot go
to Mr. Blackman's shop on Wednesday, the 25th, or in my
life. I don't know it. A boy came from his shop to say so.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Were you not bargaining for a pistol in
his shop ? Witness—Never in my life ; and the man said
so, though the boy said I did. It was on Wednesday I was
first asked to go to break into a house at Frimley, and I did
not know what house was meant till I got there and was on
the green, and they asked me where the parson's house was.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Did you not ask them what house they
intended breaking into? Witness—No, because it did not
come into my head.
Mr. BALLANTLNE —You were indifferent as to what
house? Witness—Just one as well as the other as I was
after it. The parson's was not the only house I glanced
into.

Mr. BALLANTINE—And did you not say what you thought
the best house to rob? Witness—No; my object was to see
the fight.
➢ir. BALLANTINE—And you called to sell your dishes too,
and at sixteen houses, to know where the parson lived?
Witness—Yes.

Mr. BALLANTINE—Did you give no suggestion Did
they not say to you. " Flyman, you have been in this neigh-
bourhood, and must know all the houses ?" Witness—They
never asked such a question, and on my oath, with a clear
conscience, I can say I did not know we were going to break
into the clergyman's house till we reached Frimley.
Did you not find out how many servants lived at th•
clergyman's house before leaving for Guildford? Witness—.
I did not. I did not know Ns hat they were loading the
pistols for. I was lighting my pipe at the time and I made
no remark. I could not say what they were going to do
with them.

Mr. BALLANTINE—Who pushed ➢lrs. Holiest into the
corner. Witness—Jones and Levi: Harwood and I were
standing at the foot of the bed—Mr. holiest was getting off
the foot of the bed, when the shot was fired. Levi was
standing to my right, and I had a candle in one band and a
watch in the other. Levi was about a yard and a-half off
when he filed, and ➢lr. Holiest was going to make a grasp
at him with his right foot first.

Mr. BALLANTINE—There was no struggle at the fireplace
with Mr. Holiest? Witness—That I can't say—not to my,
knowledge.---I bad no struggle with him there. Levi, I
think, did not. Samuel was at the door and could not. I
can't say as to Jones, for he was last.
Mr. BALLANTINE —You made no attempt to save Mr.
Holiest? Witness—l did not know Levi was going to fire.
I was looking at Mr. Holiest at tUe time.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Did any one fire at you? Witness—
There was a report of a gun, but I don't know that any one
was hit.

Mr. BALLANTLNE —Why are you called the " Flyman ?"
Witness—l can't tell you. If anybody had told me I would
tell you.
Mr. BA LLANTINE —You have no notion why they call you
the " Flyman ?" Witness—No, I have never been told.
Mr. BALLANTINE —ls there any other name you have
gone by? Witness—l don't know; I can't prevent people
calling me names.
Mr. BALLANTINE—IS your father alive? Witness—Not
to my knowledge.
Mr. BALLANTINE —Don't you know if your father is alive?
Witness—When I was young he wait away; but that is
not a proper question. I have not seen him for some time.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Were you ever a witness in a court of
justice? Witness (indignantly)—Never in my life.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Were you present when your father
was tried ? Witness—No, I was only five or six when he
was sent away.
Mr. BALLANTINI—This is the first scrape you ever got out
of by giving evidence against other people? Witness—Yes.
Mr. BALLANTINE—You were tried last arch at Maid-
stone—what for? Witness—On suspicion M
of highway rob-

bery.
Mr. BALLArrINEWith cutting and wounding ? Witness
—So it was stated.—(Laughter.)
Mr. BALLANTLNE--Were you not in again since? Wit_
ness—l was walking along the road, and was taken up on
suspicion of breaking into a house two or three weeks before

this matter.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Who were you taken into custody with
then? Witness—l don't know; he was a stranger to roe.
He met me on the road when we were taken, and I have for-
gotten his name.
Mr. BALLANTINE Pas his name Isaac? Witness—l don't

know.
Mr. 13ALLANTINE—Are these the only times you have been
in custody? Witness—Yes; I never was in a gaol except
the:e three times.
Mr. BALLANTINE—When did you take the name of Hiram
Smith? Witness—When I was taken, and going with this
man Isaac to Brighton.
Cross-examined by Mr. CTIARNOCK—I have no recollection
of saying
to Macey, at Frimley, on the Tuesday, that the
gentleman, the parson, was " a tight fit," and that I had
tried it on for a bit of " chuck," and it was no go. I don't
know what "chuck" means.
Mr. CitAn?'ocx —Did you tall Hollington, " We had ar-
ranged previously on the Tuesday to commit this robbery ?"
itness—l don't recollect saying so, but I might have.
