consequence she caused inquiries to be made at No. 4,
where a person of the name of Adams resided. Agar
went there and found the letter had been left there. He
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. Medburst. 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 at 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 fingere
of the right hand fastened op 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 bad them during the time
Ledger was absent on his wedding trip.
By Mr. Bodkin---He coald not remember if any in-
quiries were made of him at the time of the robbery.
He gave no information entil last Saturday, and after
he bad 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 on the harbour.
He noticed they were very attentive to the arrival and
departure of the boati. He saw them frequently on the
pier, but not in company with each other. They ob-
served he was noticing them, and they then walked
away as if they had no connection with each other. He
saw Agar a week after he lo.t eight of Pierce. He saw
Agar again in October or November after on the har-
bour, opposite the Pavilion 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, 1854.
Mr. Thomas Sharman, formerly booking-clerk at
Folkestone Harbour, but now keeping the Tor-
rington Arms at Mereworth, 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 saw them together
at the Pavilion Hotel. He met them coming from the
hotel, and he spoke to Tester. Agar spoke 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 cigars, and parted. He left
Agar and Teeter together. He saw Agar on the pier
previously. Agar was under his observation at that
time about two or three weeks.
By Mr. Buchanan—He saw Agar first in the spring
of 1854. Re had no notion of what, Agar was. 14 was
on a Sunday about 11 o'clock in the day 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.

Eastern Counties Grand Handicap Steeplechase of 20 soya

Star, 2 to 1 agst Minos, 4 to 1 agst Casse Con.
Minos came in alone. Soon after starting Minor fell, but
was remounted, and went on to the end. Hopeless Star,
after coming down three times, was left sprawling in a
ditch, and was, of course, placed hors de combat. At the
far side, on going over the ;round a second time, Casse Cott
was stopped, seemingly dead beaten. The course was very
heavy, and altogether very trying, the difficulty of the
jumps being increased by the rottenness of the banks, both
on the landing side and the taking-off sido.

h ft, with 40 added, for horses that have boon regularly

at 4to 1. The horse led from start to finish, and won by

opponent's exhibition.
