THE ALLEGED ABDUCTION CASE AT BATH.

The hearing of the case, " Yescombe v. Roche and
another," seen° particulars of which have already ap
peered is The Sun, was resumed on Friday, before Mr.
J. Smith, judge of the county court, and concluded cn
the following; day. The defendants, Mrs. Roche and
Mademoiselle Koch, the goveiae-s for the loss of whose
services the action was brought, were examined and
cross-examined at great length, and their evidence may
be describe l as almost amounting to a point-blank denial
of that which had been given by the plaintiff and his
witnesses. According to Mademoiselle Koch she left
her situation in c •nsequence of illtreatment, and had
gone to Mrs. Maddock's hoe: a unt;i tae affair wa3
settled. Mr. Roche's conduct towa! :s h. r had never
been anything but that of a gentleman. At the conclu-
sion of the defendants' case on Seturday Mrs. Yescombe
was recalled, and solemnly denied Leveral of the state-
ments made by the governess on the preceding day.
During the course of Mrs. Yescombe's examination Mr.
Walter Savage Landor came into count and was at once
called as a witness for the plaintiff. He deposed to
being present at Mr. Yescambe's house when the gover-
ness said she would write a letter to Mr. Roche that
would make him ashamed of his attentions to her, and
that she went upstairs apparent'y for that purpose.
Mdlle. Koch had stated that this letter was weitten at
the dictation of Mrs. Yeromba. He (Mr. Lander) had
addressed a letter to the e:overnr -s, giving her very good
advice. He could neither rebut nor subs'ant;ate the
charge of abduction against Mr. Roche. The plaintiff

(From the Pittsburg Gazette, Dec. 2.)
Our readers may not have been aware--indeed we did
not know it ourselves until yesterday evening—that the
dull smoky city of Pittsburg has been honoured for two
weeks past with the presence of distinguished nobility from
England—blooded gentlemen, and of course exceedingly
wealthy. Notwithstanding the general ignorance of the
community on this point, a few of the fast young men of
the city, and some of her staid English residents, became
posted, and have paid the distinguished guests due honour.
We are sorry to see, however, a desire manifested to deny
having paid these honours, which arises, probably, from
excessive modesty.
Lord Arthur John Hudson and Sir Charles Miller
Their position did not carry them away, and instead of
sporting it at the Monongahela they contented themselves
with the more humble accommodations to be procured at
the Fulton-house, Diamond. This moderation was charm-
ing. They were somn3unicative, too, and their admirers
were confidently informed that they had 40,0001. sterling
deposited with S. Jones and Co„ bankers. Drinking, eat-
ing, and riding were the order of the day. Money flowed
like water; everybody was urged to participate with them
in the good things of this life, and everybody accepted the
invitation.
Sir Charles owned a sand bank in Missouri, and such sand
for glass making ! " D —me, sir, said Sir Charles, exhibit.
ing a goblet, " did you ever see such glass ; my sand bank
will make the fortune of any man !" His admirers never did
see such glass, of course, and the glass merchants of the city
gave extensive orders for this magnificent sand, determined
to excel the a orld in the matter of glass. Then Sir Charles
dealt in patents, and disposed of a right for selling saws to
a druggist in this city, and got the money for it. Lord
Arthur John was not engaged in sand or patent rights ;
his views were more in the agricultural line. He doubtless
saw in the distance a large advance in real estate in this
vicinity, and determined shrewdly to be in a condition'
to realise the anticipated profit. So he visited the
well-known farm of Mr. Peter Perch meut, Wilkins town-
ship, and was posted as to terms, examined the grounds,
the horses, the waggons, implements, &c., and concluded
to purchase at 15,000 dollars for the farm and 2,000 dollars
for the stock. My lord would give Mr. Parchment a
cheque for the amount on his bankers, S. Jones and Co.,
who had 18,0001. sterling on deposit when the deed was
made out. In the meantime Mr. P. must give up his
contracts, for the horses could not be used, and Mr. P. did
so at a loss of about 4,00) dollars.

His lordship and Sir Charles frequently visited the farm.
A pig would please their fancy, and to town porker would
go ; now a fat turkey excited his lordship's desire, and to
town it went ; and a pair of elegant blankets followed
suit; and any number of bottles of real old Irish whisky
were also sent to the city. Things went on accordingly.
My lord and Sir Charles also cultivated the acquaintance
of Mr. M'Laughlin, shoemaker, Fourth-street. Mr.
M`Langhlin has the honour now of being their creditor for
goods and cash to the amount of 45 dollars. We believe
the transaction originated in this wise. Lord Arthur John
and Sir Charles dropped in to bny a pair of boots, when his
aristocratic eyes beheld in the toe of his stocking a hole.
A half reproachful sigh escaped his lordship, and he said,
"It is a d—d shame for a Hudson to wear a stocking like
that." This attracted the attention of Mr. M'Laughlin.
A pair of shoes too fitted the feet of his lordship, and hid
from his mortified vision the rent hose. " What is the
brass?" said his lordship, running•his hand into his pocket.
Sir Charles said, "My lord, my lord, this will not do ;
charge this to my account, Mr. M`Latighlin." And it was
charged.
His lordship told his friend that Judge M'Clure advisad
him to remove his deposits from Messrs. Jones and Co., as
they were not safe; he recommended in their place the
old Bank of Pittsburg. But his lordship was fearful that
the old back could not receive it all, so he bought on ac-
count, at Burke and Barnes's, an iron safe which is now
in his room at the Fulton-house, to hold at least his daily
spending money. The safe is worth 150 dollars.

On the whole these representatives of England's nobility
met with an exceedingly warm reception. Their acquaint-
ances were only too proud to accommodate them with small
sums of money—fives and tens—and they were not too proud
to accept such accommodation. Theyhad no pride to talk
of. For instance, Lord Arthur John, instead of allying
himself to some noble daughter of a noble and ancient
house in his own land, plighted himself to an interesting
young lady, daughter of his lordship's landlord of the Ful-
ton-house. And the marriage ceremony was to have taken
place last night.

If we were disposed to moralise at this point, we might
choose two subjects—the importance of " blood" in free
&merica, and the marvellous facility with which free Ame-
ricans can distinguish that same " blood" in noble visitors.
Alas for them, however; but the sequel will explain.
Yesterday Mr. Perchment's lawyer finished the deeds,
and Mr. P., documents in hand, waited upon his lordship
for the cheque upon Messrs. Jones and Co., for 17,000 dole.
But his lordship was out of funds, and could not pay him.
So Mr. Perchment waited upon Messrs. Jones and Co., and
found that they never had a cent of his noble lordship s
money. In the space of a short half-hour what a change !
The farm was not sold, but he was. Mr. Perchment ac-
eoTdingly brought suit before the Mayor against Lord
Arthur John for swindling, and the warrants for his arrest
were placed in the bands of the officers. Unfortunately
his lordship had hired a buggy from Mr. Jacob Gardner
to go to Brownstown, to return in time for the wedding.
He did not return, and it is supposed he seized the oppor-
tunity to roach some country railway depot and leave the
vicinity. We sincerely sympathise with the bride and her
parents. The guests were invited, the minister was in the
parlour, the supper was laid ; Mr. Lougarey, who had ad-
vanced his lordship 18 ► doll.irs in jewellery, was to act as
his groomsman, and he was there. The police officers were
there also, to watch the arrival of his lordship. But his
for t ship disappointed all.
Notwithstanding the seriousness of one or two phases of
this occurrence, it is as a whole the moat laughable affair
we have ever heard of transpiring in this city. The money
losers have not the least sympathy, and they will be targets
for 'roasting" for six months. His lordship's attorney
was also deceived, but rather had his ej es open towards
the last.

We have the pleasure of recording the arrest of the titled
gentleman by officers Hamilton and Wray, about half-prst
ten o'clock last night. They reached the stable at that hour,
and as soon as they saw the police they ran, but they were
so gloriously drunk, drunk as lords, that they were soon
overtaken. When taken to the mayor's office, 50 dole. and
a gold watch were found on Lord Arthur John. Beth were
committed for a hearing to-day. In the police office they
still retained their hauteur. My lord said dictatorially,
" Hand me a chair." The officer replied, "You are old
enough to help yourself." So he did help himself.
