Mr. Henry Feist, editor of the Sporting Life—
The advertisement of the formation of the club was
spoken of at Tattersall's, and I was requested by
several gentlemen to denounce the whole scheme
as a swir.dle. I never heard of him or knew him
before the appearance of the advertisement, and I
had made inquiries about him. I received a mass
of correspondence relative to him. The Victoria
Club in the City is a most respectable club.
Cross-examined—l inquired about Barry of racing
men, and the members of Tattersall's. I made in-
quiries of Mr. Whitmore and Sergeant Langley,
who know him well. The latter is engaged by
the Jockey Club in discovering frauds.
Re examined— One of the communications sent
to the paper was signed by Capt. Potts.
Mr. John Whitmore deposed—l live in Norris-
street, Haymarket. I have known Barry about
two years. My attention was called to him by
seeing his advertisement in Bell's Life. He
was then indebted to me for some bills I
had got discounted for him—he hod then owed me
the money for twelve months. I had not been able
to find him during that time. When I called upon
him, in Victoria-street, I asked him to pay me. He
asked me to call again. He confessed he owed the
money, but he was then short of money. He said
he was gettinc, up a club, and as soon as he got the
funds which he anticipated by it, and pointed to the
advertisement, he would pay me. If he succeeded
in getting a secretary with some money he would
pay me immediately. I believe the words he said
were, "As soon as I get a secretary." He also said
that Lieut. Blackett, of a cavalry regiment, was a
very good wire, and that he was out introducing
the club in all directions.

WHITECHAPEL.

The learned Judge—What is a " wire ?"
Witness—He explained it to me as a man catch-
ing flats and men with money. (Laughter.)
Cross-examined—l live in the Haymarket. I
negotiate money transactions by means of bills
principally. I consider the plaintiff owes me £l7O.
I issued a writ against him for the amount. The
writ was issued for £6OO. When I saw him about
the money I offered to give up all claims if he would
give £25. I found the plaintiff had no money and
I stayed proceedings. I have attended races and
betted. I was a defaulter on the turf through an-
other petson not paying me. I lost £1,200, and ex-
pected to receive £BOO.
Re-examined—£6oo was the nominal value of
the bills. The bills were accepted in the name of
Brown and Co., while he was a partner in that
concern.

BILLINGSGATE.

BREAD.

HIDES AND SKINS.

Evidence was given to prove that persons were
stopped from attempting to take the goods out of
the house, by a cry that there was powder in the
house, and also that there were rumours that the
fire looked very suspicious and very black against
the plaintiff. The Saturday before the fire the
plaintiff sent two or three boxes to the railway
station, to be kept till called for, and on the Sun-
day evening two other boxes were sent there.
A gentleman connected with Brown's Patent
Parchment Company deposed that the plaintiff
used to accept bills in his own name as managing
director.

After some other evidence of a similar character,
The learned Judge summed up, and the jury
