Counsel meant by rank in life. He pledged himself tia
•he questions were of deep concern.
Witness in continuation, said that he bad no authorit3

'rom Captain Garth to make the offer of 1,000/. Cap.
'Lain Garth wished to get the box. Since this indiettnett
had been found, witness had exhibited the defendant as a
witness for Captain Garth in the Court of Chancery.
Lady Agley was examined as a witness before the Grand
Jury upon this indictment.
Mr. Goodrick, Assistant Master of this Court, Ira*
called by Mr. CAmrBELL. He taxed the defendant's bills
of cogs, and defendant attended once or twice. (I'he
bills and cash account were produced.) Under date of
February 17, 1827, he found 1781. as having been paid
11r. Howard, and there was a question whether it should
❑ot be 2781. Witness investigated it, and found 2781.
ought to have been credited. Under date of 28th D(c.
1827, he found no credit given for 4001. received by de-
fendant from Messrs. Jenner, on Captain Garth's account,
tnd, upon inquiry, he found that defendant had received
that sum.

Cross-examined by Sir J. SCAILLETT-With regard tr
the 1001. witness might have believed it was a mere cle-
rical error. There were several items relating to the war-

rant of attorney, some of which he allowed. Captain
Garth objected to any charge respecting the warrant of
attorney. Witness thought the objection was, tbat it was
all done for Mr. Howard's benefit.
By Mr. CAMPBELL-The taxation lasted for several
months. He found a balance due to Howard of
4681. 188. 6d. on the warrant of attorney, instead of
t,9061. ; but upon the whole transaction he found 510/.
due to Captain Garth.
Captain Garth sworn—l am the prosecutor of this in-
dictment. I preferred the indictment by the advice of
Counsel. I first became acquainted with the defendant
about January, 1826, and I employed him as my solicitor
until October, 1830. In January, 1829, I was at my
father's (General Garth), at Piddletown, in Dorsetshire.
The defendant came there to me on other business, but after
some time he said there was an execution out against me,hy
which my horses would be seized at Melton Mowbray. I said
it would not do to have my horses seized, and asked who
had sued out the execution. He said, a man named
Bonnet. I said I would step into the library and get the
money of General Garth, but he said, " No, don't, for
Bonnet is a great rascal." I said, " Although he was a
rascal, it would not do to have my horses seized." He
asked me if I had a friend who would put in a friendly
execution for me ; I said I had not, for 1 was then at the
General's house under peculiar circumstances. He then
said, " What do you think of me? I have always been
your friend, and confidential adviser." I said "certainly,"
and he pulled out a warrant of atttorney (now produced) ;
it was ready prepared and I believe filled up when he
produced it. He asked me to get a witness, and I pro-
duced my butler. It was never read over to me, nor did
I read it. I executed it in order that my horses should
not be seized. Before that time the defendant had never
delivered me any bills of costs nor had we ever come to a
settlement of accounts, nor had any balance of 1,906/.
been found to be due. I have since seen the bills before

the Master for taxation, and they were the first bills
the defendant's I ever saw. I had a credit at Messrs

Greenwood and Cox's frorn General Gartk, ,nd drew checks
on them in favour of the defendant. I gave the defendant
the order for 278/. dated February 17, 1827, for the pur-
pose of paying fees to Counsel in an action then pending
against me; the indorsement to the order is in the de-

fendant's hand-writing (the order was read). Lady
Astley was at that time living with me; she had an al-
lowance which was paid by the Messrs. Jenners, her proc.
tors, in Doctors Commons. She from time to time ad-
vanced me money to pay the defendant ; I know from the
defendant that he has received money from Messrs. Jen-
ner, which was lent by Lady Astley to rue. In November
1827, he told me he had got 4001. from Messrs. Jenraer.
Cross-examined by Sir JAMES SCARLETT-Captain
Chambers introduced defendant to me for a specific pur-
pose. I wanted some money, and I became very intimate
with the defendant and dined with him occasionally. I
slept in his house in Saekville-street for a month. The
hills of costs are not in the defendant's hand-writing, nor
are his affidavits. The latter were written by Mr Thomp.
son, the defendant's clerk. A short time after I had
signed the warrant of attorney I left Piddletown and went
to Salisbury, thence to Southampton, and came to K. n-
nington. I was then very much indebted to different
people and some of them were in pursuit of me. I have
not been largely in debt ever since I have been in the army ;
I have been in difficulties since 1828. I was greavy
in debt when I signed the warrant of attorney. I cannot
say how much I owed then, I don't think it was as much
as 18,0001. The hills were all sent to the defendant, and
there was a reason why they were then collected. I have
never said I owed 18,000/. then, (a paper handed up.)
That is my writing. Alter the defendant left me in Dor-
setshire I sent a letter and parcel to him, but I cannot
recollect what was in it. I desired Mr. Howard's brother
to go down to Melton Mowbray about the execution. The
defendant's representation was, that unless hi. brother
went down directly the other execution would be there
first. I had a box at the defendant's in which I depo-
sited papers.
Sir J. SCARLETT—Has Lady Astley left you ?
Captain Garth (evidently affected)_fly Lord, am I
bound to answer the question ?
His LORDSHIP said he did not know that it was irre-
levant.

Witness—l bear of her occasionally.
Sir J. SCARLETT—Has she left you? Is she no longer
under your protection?
Witness.—We are widely separated. She has ceased to
live with me, because I have now been a year and nine
months in the King's Bench for debt. I have seen her
twice during that period. She was a witness before the
Grand Jury at the desire of my solicitor. I did not as-
sist in resisting the suit for a divorce brought by Sir Jacob
Astley against Lady Astley. Mr. Howard, my attorney,
was also her common law adviser then, and employed by
herself. I believe that her bill and mine are mixed up
together.
Sir J. SCARLIETT—On your oath, did you not lend her
your aid and assistance in resisting that suit ?
Witness—l did not. She went to Messrs. Jenners
herself. I did all I could to a!low the divorce to take place,
and to prevent the suit being defended.
Sir JAMES SCARLETT.TheII the lady would not
marry you.

Witness—(with astonishment)—My Lord, am I bound
to answer that question ?
Six Jams SCAILIATT...—It is for the purpose of trying
your credit.

His Lordship thought that all ;natters respecting Lady
Astley's and the witness's bills of costs were matters to be

inquired into, but not respecting Lady Astley's choosing
or not choosing to marry him.

Witness-1 swear I was anxious for the divorce, and I
attribute every thing to Mr. Howard. The defence to the
action in the Cowmen Pleas, in February, 1827, was
against my wish ; notwithstanding I continued Mr.
Howard as my attorney until 1830. We had a quarrel
about it, for I had reason to believe Mr. Howard was
playing me some trick. I offered Mr. Howard money to
give up certain papers which he had received notice from
certain suitors in Chancery not to give up. After he refused
them, I once supped with him, and staid until two
o'clock in the morning. I did not attempt to take the
papers away. I did not know where they were ; I would
have got them if I could. I swear I was never discovered
with a candle seeking for them. I was never locked out of
the defendant's chambers. I always went to them the back
way on account of my difficulties. Upon my oath this indict-
ment is not brought for the purpose of getting the papers,
because I have got them. We have got the box which was
broken open by Mr. Howard, and two others. I
brought the indictment for the mere love of public
justice. Mr. Howard had introduced his brothers
to me, and I employed them to make copies of the
papers—the originals I was then going to give up.
I was not very urgent in having them copied. (A letter
produced.) That is my letter, and on looking at it, it
certainly does appear that I was eager to have them copied.
[The witness's cross-examination was proceeding when
our reporter left. The case will probably last the whole day.]

POLAND.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN:

SlR—Although the British Government has
, been prevented from taking any active part its
behalf of Poland, from the peculiar difficulties,
'loth domestic and foreign, by which it has been
embarrassed, it is creditable to the British nation
that it has uniformly sympathized with that coun-
try. Every friend, not only of humanity, but
of the best interests of England, must rejoice to
find that a society has been established, the ob-
ject of which is to advocate the cause of that
' heroic but unfortunate country, and to keep up
the public interest in its favour. In point of
commercial advantages, it is more our interest
to be on terms of amity with Poland
than with Russia. We might carry on
a trade with Poland in all those articles in which
we traffic with Russia, and in many others.
Poland can maintain a traffic in timber, hemp,
and tallow ; and contains great quantities of ex-
cellent iron and more so of zinc. It abounds in
all varieties of grain, in honey, and wax.
But to carry on such a traffic the Duchy of
Warsaw must be enlarged, so as to embrace
Courland, which was once a fief of the Polish
crown, and Samogitia. Without this outlet
and the sea-port of Polangen there could be no
prospect of any commercial intercourse between
Poland and this country.
Language would not be sufficient to describe
the barbarous atrocities practised on this un-
happy people. The Universities of Warsaw and
Wilna are abolished—the literary treasures,
the large library of the University, consisting of
upwards of 200,000 choice vplumes, are
packed up, and about to be sent to Petersburgh,
the collections of natural history, medals, pic-
tures, engravings (for the most part gifts of pri-
vate individuals) have been seized. The Royal
Society, despite its charter, is shut up ; its li-
brary, collection of antiquities, medals, and na-
tural history, are seized, and about to be sent to
Petersburgh.
The following anecdote is too true, and should
rouse the indignation of every Briton in whose
veins flows a drop of British blood that does
not call its owner bastard :—Colonel Lukarinski
was a few years ago seized by order of Con-
stantine, on a plea of premeditated insurrection,
but instead of being sent to the usual courts, was
tried by special judges nominated by the Duke,
yet was he acquitted ! A second court was ap-
pointed ; he was again acquitted! By a
third court he was condemned, was put in irons,
sent to the fortress of Zansky, and condemned
to hard labour ! He was thence brought back
to Warsaw, and examined by a favourite of the
Duke, but confessed nothing. He was then se-
verely flogged ; and when the last insurrection
broke out, he was fastened to the carriage of a
cannon, and thus dragged to Russia, in the
depth of winter. Since that time he has not
been heard of ; and is in Siberia, or no more !
One word of advice to the Poles. Waste
not your strength in hasty, isolated, partial mea-
sures; nothing great or glorious was ever thus
effected by states or individuals. Act with
union, and in concert; and then be assured that
Poland will once again become herself, " great,
glorious, and free.

Your obedient servant,
