CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Crompton.)
The case of Mr. Glover, ex-M.P. for Beverley, was
resumed this morning.

The case excited no interest whatever. The proof
the facts were of the driest and most tedious descrip
tion ; and, except the parties actually interested in the
case, and those connected with the Court, there were
not 20 persons perseat.
Mr. Hussey, of Cork, land agent, deposed that be
collected, &c., the rents of the Irish estate. The income
averaged about 1811. per annum. After deducting cer-
tain charges, such as rent tithe, head rent, poor rates,
receivers' fee., la w charges, &c., he paid the balance
into the Court of Chancery by order of the Master of
the Irish Court of Chancery. The amounts so paid are
varied. For March, 1854, the balance amounted to
161. 2s. Od.; for a year and a half, up to September,
1855, it was 1381. 15s. 3d.; and for September, 1856, to
941. 4s. Od. He had heard the estate was to be sold.
He had never received instructions to pay Mr. Glover
any cf the proceeds of the estate.
Mr. Turner, solicitor, Gray's-inn, deposed that on
Sept. 14, 1854, he was consulted by the defendant rela..
tive to
,a marriage settlement between Captain Toker
and Miss De Burgh, defendant's aunt. The properties
included lauded estates in Kent and the whole of the
properties in Cork belonging to Miss De Burgh. Wit-
ness was to act as solicitor for all parties. Oa the 14th
or 15th defendant said a part of the Kent property was
mortgaged to the extent of 10,0001. He only
then referred to the estate as a co-trustee. He
!.aid it was impossible to obtain the title deeds, and
witness must be satisfied with the instructions he
had received without requiring an inspection of the
title. He gave witness no information of other incum-
brances on the Kent property, or to whom the 10,0001.
was owing. He said nothing about a rent-charge to
himself.
Cross-examined—The instructions for the marriage
settlement were in writing—part in Miss De Burgh's
handwriting, and part in the defendant's. She gave
them to witness. No part of the written instructions
from the defendant related to the Irish or Kent proper-
ties.
Re-examined—Mr. Toker was about 65 years of age
when witness was introduced to him.
Mr. Justice Crompton--I thought this gentleman
was a very old man, fl om your opening.
.Ir. James—This was in 1854.
Mr. Justice Crompton—l don't think you will call it
very old when you arrive at that age.
Mr. James—Not if I'm a Judge, my lord. (Laughter.)
Witness—The defendant represented the Kent pro•
perties as Mr. Toker's. He met Mr. Toker and Miss De

Burgh at the defendant's residence, Stafford House,
Maida-hill.

[The deeds and documents relative to the properties
and the marriage settlement were put in and read.]
Mr. Henry Bathurst, solicitor, Feversham, Kent,
produced a deed of settlement, dated 16th Nov., 1853,
between Miss Margaret Grace Toker and Philip Cham-
pion Tuker. It was a voluntary conveyance of the
Oakes estate fur herself for life, with remainder to Philip
Champion Toker; reserving the power during her life

to lease for any term not exceeding 21 years.
Cross-examined—He held the deed fur both parties,
who were now living. lie could not say if the parties
were not friends owing to family disputes.
Re-examined—He considered the outside value of the
house and ground was 801. a-year, the cottage and
garden let for 251., the orchard land for 601., the wood-
lands were in hand about 30 or 40 acres, and were worth
about 201. a-year—together, 1851. a-year.
By Mr. Chambers—The Feversham Railway was now
(Ten. There was a difference of opinion whether rail-
ways improved the property, through which they passed.
The property was about a mile and a half from the rail-
way station.
Mr. Francis Ocomaney produced a mortgage deed of
13th July, 1849, on the Oakes property, between Mr.
Metcalfe and Mr. P. C. Toker and his first wife, Mr.
Hasler Hollis, and others. It was a conveyance by
Metcalfe a prior mortgagee of 2,0001., and Toker and his
wife by way of mortgage of the property to Hollis and
others as security for the repayment of 1,5001. and in-
terest at 5 per cent., borrowed by Toker of Haig. Wit-
ness produced other deeds connected with the property
recited in the last mortgage.
The Court was occupied a considerable period in
proving by documentary evidence the ownership and
dealing with the Oake's property, including mortgagee,
ejectments, &a.
The witness said the annual interest on the two wort.
gages on this property was 1251. It was mortgaged
altogether for 2,5001.
Cross-examined—The estate was sold in 1852 for
7,5001. to Messrs. Toker by Mr. P. C. Toker, in whose
favour she afterwards made the voluntary deed. The
interest was in arrear in 1856. In September of that
year he believed he first received rent under the mort-
gage.
Mr. Robarts was called, and said that he had never
been called upon to pay rent to Mr. Toker or his true.
tees.

Mr. J. Payne, former occupier of a portion of the
Oakes property, deposed that in October and November,
1855, Mr. Glover claimed to be paid the rent of the land
he occupied under Miss Toker, and he paid 251. The
witness was cross-(xamined as to the value of the land
in his occupation.
After some further evidence was taken relative to the
real value of the property, the case for the prosecution
closed. The defence will likely occupy the remainder
of the day.

tographic portraits for her Majesty in connection with
the late royal marriage were taken yesterday morning,
