The same learned gentlemen attended as before.
Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mr. Edward Lewis, of
Marlborough-street, for the prosecution ; and Mr.
Lewis, of Ely-place, for the defence of Jordan, with
Mr. Evans, John•street, Bedford-row, for the
others.

The facts of the evidence on the previous exami-
nations have been already fully reported, and so
recently that it is not considered necessary to re-
trace them.

Mr. Sleigh, in a brief speech, having re-opened
the case, the depositions of the first hearing, affect-
ing-thestnan Welzenstein, was re•sworn to and read
ovex,fox his guidance.and inforpation, This done,
flea prosreetor
Madame Welzenstem lived in Charlotte-street.
She had said the child I saw, and which she on one
occasion brought to my shop, was hers. After the
redemption of the pledged articles she fell ill, up
to which time I had not seen the husband. She in-
troduced him as Sternfeldt, and she sent him to me
to consider what was best to be done for her affairs.
He came to my house. He is the prisoner now at
the bar. He said ho was a friend of Madame's
husband, and had served in the army with him in
the same regiment, and took great interest in her
welfare, and he himself lived out of town, allowing
her the use of the apartments in Charlotte-street.
That this was through the illness of his own wife.
He said her husband went in the May previous to
America, to find or look up his uncle, and he was
surprised he had not returned, for they had had no
communication from him since he had been away.

He told me he had himself relieved her as far as his
circumstances would permit, but that was insuffi-
cient—that she was very clever in needlework and
such like, and if she were aided by means could get
her living. He said he himself was a refugee, and
could not go home. He would give her a good
character, and he said that her husband was a most
excellent man. At that time she was ill, and I
sent at my own expense Dr. Love, my own physi-
cian, I called very often on her. I saw him on one
occasion at Charlotte-street when I called on her,
and it was early in December. That time I had
some information from others that Sternfoldt was
her husband. That information was from Capt. Korn.
On seeing her I told her what I had heard; this was
in a cab in which I had gone because it was wet. She
said Korn was a disreputable character, and I ought
not to listen to him, denying strongly there was any
foundation for the assertion. I requested Freick to
come to the German club, and he said" why you ought
to have known Korn was a liar," and he regretted
his sister was Korn's wife, and said the statement
of Korn was altogether untrue, for Sternfeldt and
Madame Welzenstein!wore not man and wife. The
following day I saw Korn again and had a convert
sation with him on the subject. Two or three
weeks after I spoke to the defendant Jordan, whom
I had first seen at Charlotte-street, while Madame
was ill. She was in her apartment. She was then
calling herself Madame Poulouska. I told her what
I had been informed, and she requested me to tell
her who had informed me Madame and Sternfeldt
were married. It had been told me the child was
a borrowed child, and this Madame Jordan said was
not true. I told her who had informed me, and
she said he was a disreputable person. Two or
three days after she called and requested me to go
to Madame's, and test the story of the child. I did
so, and found Madame Bordfeldt in the room with
Madame ; the child was playing about the floor,
and had been sent into an adjoining room for
MadameWelzenstein, and then Madame Jordan said
" I hope you are now satisfied." The child had
been told to fetch her mother, and said in German
" That," pointing to Madame Bordfeldt, " is my
aunt Bordfeldt." It was between eight and nine in
the evening Madame Welzenstein expressed much
gratitude to me, when alone in the room, bending
over me rather low, and taking my hands and kiss-
ing them, calling me her " saviour." While evinc-
ing her feeling this way, the door opened, and she
ran towards it. I saw uo one else for five minutes.
I said, " Who is that ?" She said "It is Stern feldt,"
and she went into the adjoining room, where I
heard his voice, saying he would not permit such
familiar intercourses. I waited some time longer,
and no one coming in I left the room, and the house.
I heard the defendant, Madame Welzenstein swear
in the Court of Queen's Bench, that in effect I en-
deavoured to take liberties with her on that occa-
sion by trying to get her on my knee.
Mr. Beadon said if Mr. Sleigh intended to go into
the case of perjury, distinct evidence must be given
for that, but if he stated he intended to indict for
that, he must be asked to bind over for that speci-
fic offence. It would be better to take that which
he considered the strongest case, and keep to it.
Prosecutor continuing—The evidence she gave
on oath was utterly false, The male defendant
Welzenstein's evidence on this subject was also
false.

Bench, Messrs. Bennett and Ibbett, here put in a
