THE CARDEN. ABDUCTION CASE.

DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING.
The proceedings in the case of "Arbuthnott 1-•
Carden," were resumed this morning at Kingstown
Police-court. Mr. Jones, a stipendiary magistrates
was examined on the part of the defendant, and
positively swore that he believed Mr. Carden in-
capable of committing any act of violence towards
Miss Arbuthnott. The woman Keating, alias
Douglas, was also examined for the defendant, and
deposed that she had no authority from Mr. Carden
to offer money to any person for any purpose re-
specting Miss Arbuthnott, except what was con-
tained in letters found on her person. Miss Ellen
Arbuthnott was then called and examined by Mr.
Walsh, Q.C. She said, " The last witness came to
me on the first occasion, and had an interview of
abut ten minutes, when she stated that she had
been offered a situation as housekeeper to Mr. Car-
den. Mr. Gough was present at the time, but not
concealed. Mrs. Keating purported to have come
to know if I recollected a certain promise that I
made to her to place her children at school. I re-
plied that I did not. • She said she was trying for
a situation as lady's-maid, and I said I hoped she
would be successful. Mr. Carden's name was cer-
tainly not mentioned at the second interview. I
was alone, and Mrs. Keating said that she had
come to inform me and Mr. and Mrs. Gough also
that she had been offered the situation of house-
keeper to Mr. Carden of Barnane, and she wished
to know whether it would be offensive to me and
to Mr. and Mrs. Gough if she should accept it ?
said that I was surprised at her mentioning Mr.
Carden's name to me, but that I had not any wish
to interfere with her, arrangements, at the same
time saying that she should never attempt to hold
any communication with me again of any kind, and.
I desired her to leave St. Helen's at once, or I should
be under the necessity of desiring the servant to
turn her out. She then went away. and I have
not seen her since. Nothing further occurred after
the mention of Mr. Carden's name. I should think
the interview did not last over five minutes."
After a lengthened discussion the magistrates
decided on holding Mr. Carden to bail in the sum
of £5,000 to keep the peace towards Miss Arbuth-
nott.

benefits. The chairman said this could not be adopted
without altering the charter, which mentioned nothing.

taken only as a notice of motion for the court to be held 01
January next,
