LA FFINTELLIGENCE.—Dec. 10.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Guildhall, before Lord Camp•
bell and Special Juries.)
CLEGHORN V. MACNAMARA AND OTHERS.
This action was brought to recover compensation in
damages for an injury which the plaintiff alleged he had
sustained in consequence of the defective construction of
one of the defendant's omnibuses.
Sir F. Thesiger and Mr. Hawkins were for the plain-
tiff ; and Mr. E. James for the defendants.
The plaintiff was a hemp merchant, carrying on busi-
ness in Billitsr.street, in partnership with Mr. Dunbar,
and the defendants represent the General Omnibus Com-
pany. On the 12th of April last the' plaintiff liailed
one of their omnibuses in Cheapside, and took his seat
on the outside for the purpose of proceeding to Putney.
fie sat at the end of the front seat, on the near side,
another gentleman being between him and the driver.
This portion of the seat extends on each side about 10
inches beyond the omnibus, and is attached to the other
part by means of hinges, so as to enable the vehicle to
pass through any narrow entrance. It appeared that
these hinges had become weakened, and when the
omnibus had reached the Opera House, in the Haymar-
ket, the seat underneath Mr. Cleghorn suddenly—and
without the slightest warning or apparent reason—broke
off, and he was precipitated to the ground He was
enabled to get to his house at Dalston, but he suffered
severely from the shock and bruises he had received, was
confined to his bedroom a fortnight, and could not now
move about without the assistance of crutches. The
learned counsel (Sir F. Thesiger) stated that in conse-
quence of the injuries he had sustained the plaintiff, in-
stead of going backwards and forwards between his
residence and place of business as formerly by railway,
was compelled to hire a carriage at considerable expense ;
that he had to pay a very considerable sum for medical
attendance ; and that owing to his inability to take the
active share he previously did in the business, the profits
of the partnership had very'much diminished, and son-
tended that, under these circumstances, he was entitled
to a large amount of damages.
Mr. Cleghorn, the plaintiff, who was a tall and very
stout gentleman, gave an account .of the accident, and
of the injuries which he had received. He fell to the
ground like a sack of sand, his knee was lacerated, and
the muscles of his legs and feet bruised and weakened.
If he stood five minutes the pain in his back, hips, and
knees was so great that he must either sit down or fall
down.

Cross-examined by Mr. Edwin James—l believe that
the new Omnibus Act allows only 16 inches for each
passenger. Do not you think you could well fill up that
space t (Laughter.)
Witness —Yes, but you would not like to fall seven
feet. The gentleman who sat between me and the driver
was rather thin, and, seeing I was stout, he gave me
as much room as possible. I cannot say whether any
portion of my person rested on the iron railing round
the end of the seat.
Mr. Edwin James—l should have thought you would
never have forgotten having ridden on a sharp iron rod
from Cheapside to the Haymarket. (Laughter.)
Witness—l can only say that I had plenty of room.
I received the first chock of the fall on my right foot. I
then fell upon my knees, and prevented my head striking
the ground by throwing out my hands. I c3nsider I
had a providential escape. After the accident I walked
to Regent-circus, in Oxford-street, to get the Dalston
omnibus. About 12 months previously I had suffered
from gout and was laid up a day or two. No medical
man attended me on that occas►on. I always doctor
myself for gout.
By Lord Campbell—There was no jolt of the omnibus
when the accident happened.
Mr. E. James said the defendants were ready to con-
sent to a verdict for 4001., and the other side were dis-
posed to accept that sum. This was the first time any
accident had occurred since the company had been formed;
and they were now constructing new omnibuses, on a
plan which would, as far as possible, secure the safety of
the passengers. The omnibus in question was an old
one ; but before it went out in the morning it was in-
spected by the police, who pronounced it to be perfectly
safe.

Lord Campbell observed that the company had behaved
in the court with very great propriety. They had given
tile plaintiff a sum which was, probably equal to what
the jury would have awarded, and he had no doubt they
would take precautions to prevent such accidents in future.
A ♦erdict was then entered for the plaintiff—damages,
4001.

viously partially opened was not a breaking and entry
sufficient in law to constitute the offence of burglary,
and that, unless the jury were satisfied the entry had
been made by the cellar window and not by the kitchen,
they could scarcely be justified in finding the prisoner
guilty even of the breaking ; but he further told them
that, even granting they were of opinion that the pri-
soner had come into the house through the cellar, there
would yet remain for their consideration the question as
to the intent with which the prisoner had entered it.
They must, in order to make out this offence, find that
his motive was to commit a felony.

The jury found the prisoner Not Guilty ; and
His Lordship gave him a strong caution not to repeat
such drunken freaks any more.
(Before Mr. Gurney, Q.C.)
Henry Harrison, aged 40, was indicted for bigamy, at
Leeds, in May, 1846, in marrying Sarah Ann Brown,
his former wife being then alive ; and also for having, on
the 14th Oat., 1850, married Maria Steel, his former wife
being alive.
Mr. Blaushard and Mr. Johnston prosecuted, and
Mr. Maule and Mr. Greenhow defended the prisoner.
This first marriage of the prisoner, in 1833, with a girl
named Braybridge, both the prisoner and his wife being
at that time only 17 years of age, and his subsequent
marriages, were fully proved, and also that his first
wife was still alive, and within his knowledge so when
he married a second time, and also at his third marriage.
The girl he had last married had since married again a
man named Sutcliffe.

The only feature of interest in the case was that the
prisoner is the Leeds wizard who gave evidence on
Dove's trial.

The learned counsel for the defence addressed the jury
at considerable length, contending that but for Dove's
trial the case would never have been heard of.

The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and a previous
conviction for felony having been proved against him,
His Lordship sentenced him to four years' penal ser-
vitude.

LIVERPOOL, Dzo. 10.
(Before Mr. Baron Alderson.)
Bridget Kelly stood indicted for the murder of Wm,
Moran, an infant child, at Manchester, on the 21st o
October last.

Mr. Wheeler appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Tindal Atkinson (assigned by the Court) defended the
prisoner.

Mary A. Howell said—l am a nurse at the Canal-
street Workhouse, in Manchester. In August last the
prisoner was admitted, and on the 7th of October she
was delivered of a male child. She remained till the
21st, when she left, taking the child with her. It was
at that time in good health. The child had on clothes
belonging to the workhouse. It was christened before
it left the house by the name of Wm Moran. The pri-
soner called herself Mary Moran. I told her that I
thought she was going out into the air too soon, but she
would leave.

William Pembray—l reside in Manchester, and work
near an arm of the Ashton Canal. On Saturday morn-
ing, the 25th of October, about half-past 8, I saw the
body of a child in the water. It had been brought up
by the line of a boat which had just come in. The body
was taken out of the water, and it proved to be a malQ
child with a tape round its neck. The tape was not
very tight.

J. Hall, police-constable on duty, took charge of the
bcdy. It had on a pair of socks, cotton binder, and a
tape round its neck. It was not tight. There was no
mark upon the neck. It appeared to have been in the
water for some days. It was a fine child.

Ann Phelan—l know the prisoner. She lodged with
me. She went by the name of Kelly. She left my
house, telling me she was going to Birmingham. She
left her box. She returned to my house, and after be.
ing there a week she was taken into custody. She
came back without her child. I showed the box to the
constable.

Sarah Oath deposed to giving up the child and the
clothes to the infirmary.
The matron of the workhouse then identified the
clothes.

I. Kirkwood, police constable, took the prisoner into
custody. She was at work in Gorton-lane. I said I
was informed she had had a child, and asked what had
become of it. She said, " I have bad no child. While
I was away I was at my uncle's at Birmingham." I
then went to Mrs. Phelan and took the clothes I now
produce from a box. There are the remains of the
workhouse mark on them. Upon taking her to the sta-
tion the inspector charged the prisoner with drowning
her child. She replied, " I have nothing to say but
that I did it. I went through a brick croft and threw it
into the canal. It was covered with thrush."
Thomas Rayner, house-surgeon at the infirmary, saw
the body of the child. It had the appearance of death
by drowning. It was covered with thrush ; that is what
it is popularly called—thrush. From the state of the
intestines it appeared to have suffered from diarrhea.
There was also a bruise on the back of the head. My
reason for supposing that the child had been drowned
arose from the membranes of the body and the brain
being much congested. Another statement of the pri-
ner was then put in, where she said she did not know
who the father was, and necessity'compelled her to doit.
Mr. T. Atkinson, on the part of the prisoner, earnestly
insisted that the body which had been found had not been
clearly proved to be the child of the prisoner. He also
made a strong appeal to,the jury on behalf of her forlorn
condition in life.
The learned judge summed up, telling the jury that
though the case was undoubtedly one for great compas-
sion, nevertheless it was their duty to consider the case
entirely with respect to the evidence which had been
laid before them.

The jury, having deliberated, returned a verdict of
guilty with a recommendation to mercy.
Judgment of death was then recorded.
His lordship, addressing the prisoner, said the case is
perfectly clear ; the jury have done their duty, though
they have done it kindly, and as Christian men. I shall
recommend your case to the merciful consideration of
the Crown, and I trust my recommendation will be at-
tended to. You may have to leave the country. I only
wish I could punish the man.
The prisoner, who seemed much affected, was then
removed.

W. Robinson, J. Thompson, T. Ward, and J. Woods
stood indicted for highway rubbery from the person of
G. Thomas, at. Liverpool, on the 11th of October last ;
and J. Hayward and J: Irvine were indicted as receivers.
Mr. %air and Mr. Aspinall prosecuted ; Mr. Sowler
defended Robinson, Mr. Simon defended Thompson, Mr.
Sco'ct, defended Ward, and Mr. Brett defended Woods.
Prom the evidence of the prosecutor, who is a book-.
keeper in this town, it appeared that he went to a brothel
kept by the prisoner Ward about 2 o'clock in the morning
of Saturday Oct. 11, and passed some hours there in
company with three women, indulging freely in
champagne, and at that time he Lad with him
about 801. in bank-notes and sovereigns. He left this
house about 19 on the following morning, and went to
a publichouse in the same street kzpt by a person named
Hills, where he bad breakfast, and again met Ward,
and both here (where he slept some time) and at Ward's
he had exhibited his purse containing money on paying
for the articles which bad been supplied to him. Ward
then left the house, but returned shortly afterwards,
being followed by the landlord and five other men,
among whom were the prisoners Robinson, Thompson,
and Woods. They did not come together, but appeared
to be strangers, though they talked together. In a
short time two of the party commenced quarrelling, upon
which it was suggested by one of them that it would be
disgraceful to fight, and they had better settle the
matter by a foot race, and the prosecutor, who at first
declined, was eventually persuaded to accompany them.
A car was then procured, and the whole party set off,
four of them inside and two on the box. On their way
they stopped at a publichouse in Boundary-line, and the
prosecutor treated them all to ale, for which he paid.
The race was soon over, but the prosecutor was not
aware who the winner was ; nevertheless he had a race
with Robinson for is., which he lost, and the party
again repaired to another publichouse, the prosecutor
once more paying the score. At this time all the
prisoners were with him, and it being about 8 o'clock
the prosecutor proposed to go home, upon which Robin-
son very kindly offered to show him the way, and,
taking his arm, they left the house. The party, how-
ever, had only proceeded a short distance through
what was described as a " near cut," when the prosecu-
tor was suddenly seized from behind, and Robinson hav-
ing seized his purse from the pocket the whole party
ran away. The prosecutor then called out "Police !"
and followed after the prisoners, and meeting with
some person he was advised to take a cab and give
immediate informatian to the police, with a description
of the prisoners. Robinson was afterwards taken at his
own house, and Thompson was also apprehended about
1 o'clock the same morning. He saw several other per-
sons in Thompson's house, but did not recognise them as
parties concerned in the robbery.
The prosecutor was subjected to a severe cross-exami-
nation by the different counsel for the pri.oners, in which
he admitted he bad been drinking very much upon the
day in question, and that his employers had since dis-
charged him for his misconduct.
It appeared that the other prisoners were all appre-
hended from information which the prosecutor had given
to the police.
After the case for the prosecution had closed,
The learned judge intimated that he thought the
evidence was not sufficient against the prisoners Wood,
Thorop-on, and Ward, including Hayward and Irvine,
who were indicted as receivers.

Mr. Sowler then addressed the jury for Robinson.,
urging the state of intoxication in which the prisoner had
evidently been in during the whole day.
The learned Judge [Rimmed up, and the jury found a
verdict of not guilty.

TII.B COLD BIILLtOY ROBBERY.

FURTHER EXAMINATION OF THE
PRISONERS.
• MANSION-HOUSE—YESTERDAY.
The following ap2eared in part of our impression of
yesterday :

The sixth examination of the prisoners L", Less and
Pierce, charged with the robbery of gold bullion on the

South-Eastern Railway in May, 1855, took place this
afternoon at the Mansion-house, before the Lord Mayor.

The same excitement prevailed on this as on the former
occasions, which was probably owing to the rumour that
had been current for some days past, that Tester, who
was in London, and who was implicated in the robbery

by Agar's evidence, would surrender, by the advice of
his legal adviser.

The detectives, Thornton and Smith, who have charge
of the case, were somewhat thrown off their scent in

regard to Teeter ; for whilst they thought he was in
Sweden, and had actually taken a voyage there in the
hope of getting him into their power, he was quietly,
securely, and snugly located in London, well supplied
by the newspapers with every movement that was going
on in reference to the case and his apprehension, and no
doubt much amused at the wildgoose chase of the acute
and wily detectives. •
Pierce and Burgess were placed at the bar at half-pas
one o'clock, when Tester, accompanied by Mr. Beard,
entered the court, and formally surrendered himself to
answer the charge. _

It was intimated by Mr. Buchanan that the prisoner
Tester would waive his right to have all the previous
depositions taken in his absence read over, and that he
would reserve his cross-examination of the witnesses
until they came up to sign their depositions. Agar, the
convict, was in attendance, in case it should be found
necessary to put any questions to him relative to Tester.
Burgess's appearance has suffered very much since
his imprisonment. He looks much paler than be did
when he was first apprehended, and he has a more
anxious and care-worn expression of features. Pierce
betrays much anxiety, but the change is not so great in
his general appearance as that of Burgess. When Tester
was brought into Court, (he having in fact surrendered
by the advice of his friends, in consequende of his
protestations of innocence), be was taken into custody and
placed in the dock with the other prisoners. Tester is
a tall, slight young man, 26 years of age, though he
appears much older. He is of a dark complexion, with
a high forehead and prominent nose, and wears a small
quantity of whisker and moustache. He was dressed in
black, with a black silk scarf, and his shirt collar turned
down over his scarf. Tester, whose general appearance
and demeanour is rather gentlemanly, was, it will be
remembered, a clerk in the superintendent's office of the
South-Eastern Railway Company at London-bridge,
and had, therefore, access to the keys of the sa"e.
At the request of Mr. Buchanan, as the question of
Tester's guilt mainly rested upon identity, the witnesses
were ordered out of court, with the exception of the
banker's clerks.
Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Wont-
ner for Pierce ; Mr. Lewis for Burgess ; and Mr.
Buchanan for Tester.
Mr. Bodkin having stated the nature of the evidence
he should produce to-day, called the following witnesses
Mr. Bailey, of the Bank of England, in the bank-
note-office, deposed Opt on the 28th May, 1855, 600
sovereigns were exchanged at the Bank for six 1001.
notes. They were all dated 9th Jan., 1855. They were
exchanged in the name of Edgington, Duke-street. All
have since been brought back into the Bank of Eng-
land and paid. One was paid in on Sept. 14, and bore
Tester's endorsement.
Mr. White, clerk in the audit office of the South-
Eastern Railway, proved the endorsement. " G. Tester,
for C. Page," was in Tester's handwriting.
Bailey in continuation Three others were paid in on
one day, and on 11th Sept. another was changed in the
name of Tester for ten 101. notes.
Mr. White also deposed,. to his belief, that the signa-
ture was in Tester's handwriting. (The note bore the
endorsement William George Tester, 26, German Villas,
Lewisham.)
Bailey continued—Another note was paid in through a
banker on 21st of Nov., 1855, having the endorsement
George Rails, 72, Warren-street, Fitzroy-square, and
also the name of Fisher. On 9th Jan., 1156, three 1001.
notes came in as part of a total paid by Messrs. Roberts,
and Co., bankers. The name of J. Burgess was on
the face of each of thorn. On 29th February, 1855,
Messrs. Currey and Co. paid into the bank two 1001.
notes with other moneys. The name of Stearns was on
the 1001. note (this is the name of the publican to whom
Burgess gave 6001. in notes to take care of for him, and
who deposited them with Messrs. Reid, his brewers.)
Mr. White, clerk to Messrs. Roberts, proved that one
of the three 1001. notes with Burgess's name on it,
came from Messrs. Hutchinson, stock-brokers.
Mr. C. Cousins, clerk to Messrs. Hutchinson, proved
that he sold to Mr. Lee, for Burgess, a quantity of
Turkish bonds, which were paid for principally in Bank
of England notes. He resold them at a profit of 10 per
cent., and paid the money over to Mr. Lee.
Mr. G. F. Phillipson, another clerk to Messrs. Hut-
chinson, identified the notes paid by Mr. Lee for the
Turkish bonds, and also Burgess's connection with the
transaction.
Mr. Richard Lee, of 2, Charles-street, Camberwell,
deposed that he was a stock-jobber. He had seen Agar
three or four times, but he did not know him. He knew
the three prisoners at. the bar. He had known Bur-
gess about nine years, Pierce seven years, and Tester
three or four years. He first knew Agar about three
years ago. Witness was once a clerk on the old Croy-
don line, in the company's employ, and Pierce, part of
that time, was ticket printer at the Londmi end of the
line. Burgess was a guard, and Tester was a clerk at
the London end. Witness had never seen them toge-
ther, or together with Agar. He had seen each of them
at Stearne's publichouse, in Thomas-street, at different
times, except Tester. He never saw Tester there. None
of the others were present at Stearne's with Agar when
he saw him there. In the early part of the year he
made a purchase of Turkish Bonds for Burgess. He
bought a 500/. bond for him, through Messrs. Hutchin-
son, for 4071. 10s. In the evening of the same day he
brought Burgess the contract. It was afterwards paid
for by 4051. in notes, and the rest in gold. He re-
ceived the notes and money from Mrs. Burgess at
Burgess's house, at New Cross and gave the money to
Hutchins,. Burgess told him to get the money of
his wife when he wanted it.
Mr. Lewis objected to the evidence of tracing the
notes. The possession of the notes by the wife was no
evidence of Burgess's dishonesty. She might have got
these notes from another person, and substituted them
for money Burgess had honestly become possessed of.
The Lord Mayor, however, admitted the evidence
tracing the note through Hutchinson to the Bauk of
England.
Witness continued—The name of Burgess, and the
date on each note, was in his handwriting.
By Mr. Wontner—At times he frequented Stearne's
house, and he only knew the prisoners from their being
servants of the railway company.
Mr. John Smith, cashier to Messrs. Reid and Co.,
brewers, deposed that Mr. Stearne, on the 19th Feb.,
1856, paid 5001. in Bank of England notes to Messrs.
Reid and Co., in two 100/., five 501., two 201., and one
101. notes. The amount was paid the same day by us into
the Bank of England, with the name of Stearns on them,
from Messrs. Currie's. He identified the notes produced
as the same notes.
Mr. C. F. Sirnmonds, a clerk in Messrs. Currie's
bank, proved receiving the notes from Messrs. Reid
and Co., and that they were paid the following day at
the Bank of England.
George Reffan deposed that he lived at 72, Warren-
street, Fitzroy square, and carried on the business of a
fruiterer. He was acquainted with Pierce, and changed a
1001. note for him. He did not know who wrote the
name of Fisher that was now on it. He changed it at
Mr. Fisher's, of Cranbourne-street, Leicester-square,
who paid it into his bank to get it changed. He received
it from Pierce about 12 months since. He changed
other notes for Pierce about the same time
for 2001. ; he obtained the change at the Bank
of England ; Pierce instructed him how he was to get
the notes changed there. He knew nothing of the
other prisoners.
Cross-examined by Mr: Wontner—He put his name
and address on one of the notes at the Bank of England.
A conference took place between Mr. Bodkin, the
Lord Mayor, and Mr. Goodman, the Chief Clerk, dur-
ing which time Burgess and Tester conversed together
very intently. On neither of the previous examinations
has the prisoner Burgess or Pierce held any communi-
cation with each other.
Mr. Bodkin said that be had now concluded tracing
the notes, and he proposed that the depositions that had
been taken in the case should be read over for the in-
formation of Tester.
Mr. Wontner asked if the prosecution had any more
evidence to produce.
Mr. kodkin—Oh / dear, yes. •
Mr, Wontner thought it would be better to conclude
the evidence before reading the depositions as it would
take a considerable time.
Mr. Bodkin said the Lord Mayor intended to sit till
half-past 5 o'clock, and he thought that it would be
better that the evidence that had been taken in the case
should be now read over, which would occupy till that
time.

Agar was then called and !`a-sworn. He looked ra-
ther intently at the prist
:hers at the bar, as if anxious
to recognise their
but they avoided his gaze. He
thenrepeAtp-
:tiy, leisurely, and calmly surveyed the
friend
13°Itc"Thrt, ay if anxious to diecover some old familiar
-.monflit the crowd.
.ctis deposition was then read over. It occupied one
hour and a quarter.
Tester took full notes of the parts that referred perso-
nally tt him.
In answer to questions frown Mr. Bodkin, Agar iden-
tified Tester as the person he spoke of, and it was then
for the first time their eyes met on each other.
In reply to questions by Mr. Buchanan, Agar said he
first saw Tester at Canterbury, where he was a clerk in
the ticket office, but he bad no conversation with him at
the time. He formed an acquaintance with Tester
three or four years since, and he then went by the name
of Adams. He had gone by the name of Archer, and
another which he forizot, by whioh Tester hirwelf
introduced him at Folkestone when they were
planning the robbery. Just previous to the robbery
Tester knew him by the name of Agar.
Mrs. Hooker was then called, and deposed that she
resided at No. 27, Victoria-terrace, Folkestone, and
was the wife of a fly-driver. She knew Pierce, but not
by any name. He came to her home on the
9th May, 1854, and took lodgings there for a friend
who was coming to Folkestone for the benefit of his
health. He brought his friend the ntxt day, who went

by the name of Adams. [Agar, who was brotight into
c ant with several other persens, was identified by the
witness as Adams, the Person whom Pierce brought
with him. to bet hetsel They remained :..7
some time together. Pierce left a week before Adams. 1"
She saw nothing of them after Adam
,left: They hAd
sitting rooin and two bed rooms. They went out teo
gtAber in the daytime, and usually went in the direction
of the pier. Whilst they were there, Agar asked if a
letter had come for him on several occasions, and in
consequence she caused inquiries to be made at No. 4,
whereA person of the name of Adams resided. Agar
webt there and found the letter had been left there, lie
returned with the letter, and said it was very unpleasant
to have his letters opened. The letter had been opened.
Mr. Charles James Chapman, export agent to the
South-Eastern Railway Company at Folkestone—He,'
had been in their employ about three years. He re-
membered the robbery in May, 1855. Some time before
that he was at the Rose public-house, in Folkestone,
kept by Mr. Medhurst. He saw Agar there in the
corner of the coffee-room at the time he spoke of. Wit-
ness was accompanied by a person named Ledger, be-
longing to the company. Agar made some remark, but
he did not recollect what it was. Myself, Ledger, and a
Frenchman went to the Rose to play at billiards. Agar
spoke to Ledger. Witness never saw Agar there after-
wards, but he saw him on the quay rA all times in the
day, more especially on the arrival and the departure of
the Boulogne, boats. Mr. Ledger married on 28th Oct.,
1854, and witness then saw Agar, who said he had
come down by the special train. He walked into his
office and asked after Ledger, who, of course, was not
there. Agar said he expected a valuable parcel from
London ; but none had arrived. Witness saw him again
the next day or the day following. The parcel reached
witness on the Monday. Witness looked at the bullion
way bill, and there found it entered. He opened the
iron safe containing the bullion, and gave the parcel to
Agar. He took the keys from the bullion room, in
which they were hung up. The door of it was kept closed,
and he carried that key about with him. Witness re.
quested a receipt from Agar for the parcel, and it was
given to him. He signed "E. R. Archer" to the receipt
produced. A gar had then two of the finger.
of the right hand fastened up in a black
silk bag. Agar took off the outer cover
of the parcel, and took it away without my seeing its
contents. The bullion room or safe where the keys were
kept was on the ground floor, and about 60 feet from the
pier. Ledger and himself were compelled to leave the
office on the arrival of the Boulogne boats.
By Mr. Lewis—He had read Agar's evidence in the
newspapers. He did not read the whole of it. He had
read parts of it at different times. He gleaned no infor-
mation from what he read.

By Mr. Wontner—He kept the bullion keys in the
safe, and the key of the door in his pocket, the week he
was in possession of them. Ledger had them before
and after that time. He had them during the time
Ledger was absent on his wedding trip.
By Mr. Bodkin—He could not remember if any in-
quiries were made of him at the time of the robbery.
He gave no information until last Saturday, and after
he had read Agar's evidence.
Mr. James Steers, Superintendent of Police at
Folkestone, deposed that he saw the prisoner Pierce
on the harbour of Folkestone in May, 1854. On one
occasion he saw him half-way between Hythe and
Folkestone with Agar, and once together sn the harbour.
He noticed they were very attentive to the arrival and
departure of the boats. He saw them frequently on the
pier, but not in company with each otter. They ob-
served he was noticing them, and they tben walked
away as if they had no connection with each other. He
saw Agar a week after he lost eight of Pierce. He saw
Agar again in October or November afer on the har-
bour, opposite the Pavillon Hotel. He saw him on
one occasion in company with a young man, whom he
did not think he should know again. He saw Agar and
Burgess together at Folkestone on one occasion. He
thought it was October or November, 1E54.
Mr. Thomas Sharman, formerly booking-clerk at
Folkestone Harbour, but now keeling the Tor-
rington Arms at Merewortb, Kent, deposed that
he saw Agar at Folkestone in October or
Nov., 1854. Agar was then in company with the
prisoner Tester, who was well known to him from his
being in the company's employ. He say them together
at the Pavilion Hotel. He met there coming from the
hotel, and he spoke to Tester. Agar sake to Tester,
but witness did not speak to Agar. They all three, with
a friend of his, walked to the Pavilion, and had some
sherry and biscuits. They then left and went to a cigar
shop, and smoked some eighrs, and carted. He left
Agar and Te3ter together. He saw Aar on the pier
previously. Agar was under his obstvation at that
time about two or three weeks.
By Mr. Buchanan—He saw Agar first in the spring
of 1854. He had no notion of what Afar was. It was
on a Sunday about 11 o'clock in the city that he saw
Agar and Tester together.
The prisoners were then remanded till Saturday, when
the case will be completed.
Several bankers were present during the day to obtain
a sight of Agar, who has• gained so much notoriety
from having so long and so successfully victimised so
many of them.
