out of the train, and claimed them, saying it was
their luggage. He said the train they came
by did not stop at-Freshford, and they had walked
on to Limpley Stoke, and the luggage was sent on
from Freshford, I made a charge of 3s. 10d. for the
luggage, and he refused to nay it. I told him he
had better leave the boxes in the parcels-office for
the nightz and perhaps Mr. Miner, the clerk, would
free him in the mqrn4lg. He took my advice and
left with the woman.

By Mr. Harris—l did not see the prisoner speak
to any woman. I saw the prisoner and the woman,
who appeared to be in company with him, go away
together. I did not observe how she dressed.
Ite-examined--I had no dispute about luggage
in that train with any person but the prisoner. I
have no doubt he is the person.
Henry Yiner—l Am parcel clerks at the Bristol
station of the Great Western Railway. On Thurs-
day morning, the 10th of Sept., the prisoner came
to my office for three boxes in the name of " Beale,"
which were lying there. I have seen and identified
these boxes at the Central Police-station, Bristol.
We had a good deal of conversation about the
3s. 10d. charged for the luggage, and I recommen-
ded him to go and see the station superintendent
about it. He went away, and on his return he paid
the money. He then asked me to allow the boxes
to remain in my office, as he was going to Liver-
pool. I recommended him to take them to the Mid-
land office and put in the cloak-room, and he went
and got a porter, and they were removed from my
office.
Thomas Silverthorne—l am porter in the Mid-
land cloak room to the Groat Western Company. I
remember seeing the prisoner on Thursday morn-
ing, Sept. 10, about 11 o'clock. I received 3 boxes
from him addressed " Mr. Beale, to be left till called
for ;" he asked to leave them in the cloak room, and
I did so, and gave him a ticket, for which he paid
6d. I produce the receipt ticket. I have seen the
boxes and identified them. The prisoner told me
he was going to Liverpool when he brought the boxes.
There was a woman standing outside the door at the
time; whentheprisoner went out shejoinedhim, and
they went down the street together. The ticket I had
given the prisoner was returned in the course of the
12th of September.
By Mr. Harris—l am certain the prisoner and
woman went away together ; they went down the
street arm in arm.

Robert Miller, butler to Mr. S. W. By theses, of
Freshford, proved that on Wednesday, the 9th of 1
Sept, he accompanied the prisoner and Charlotte
Pugsley to Limpley Stoke station, where they got
into the train together andleft Bristol, as he under-
stood, on their way to Southampton. Beale asked
itness to go back to Freshford station and have
the boxes fetched down from the house, and re-
directed "to be left till called for," at Bristol.
Louisa Davey—l am the wife of Corey Davey,
of No. 2, Ayre's-buildings, New-cut. I knew the
prisoner when I lived with Mr. Way, of Clifton-
down, about ten or eleven years ago. I saw
him about half-past eleven in the morning of
Thursday, the 10th of September. I was stand-
ing at the gate of my house which looks out
on the Cut. The prisoner was coming towards
Rownham. He had a young woman with him.
I did not speak to the prisoner because I ;was so
dirty. My mother was with me at the gate. She
was going home, and I wished her " Good bye"
because John Beale was coming. lam quite confi-
dent it was the prisoner I saw. I saw them again a
few minutes afterwards. They were then going to-
wards the priEon, which is the straightest way to
Rownham-ferry. It leads in other ways to Bristol.
The woman was dressed in an alpaca dress. I did

not obkerve her bonnet. I thought what a tidy per-
son it was he had with him, and I looked after them
because I had known Beale for so many years.
Wm. Jones—l am a tailor in the employ of Mr.

Apl n, of Wine• street, Bristol. On Monday the 7th

Sept. I saw the prisoner in the evening In Wine-
street, and went itli him to the King's Head
Tavern. He remaloed about an hour and a-half,
and left saying he was going to the Casino. The
next morning he came to Mr. Aplin's shop
after a pair of trousers his 0013111 was making
for him. While he was there he pulled a very
small pistol out of his pocket. I SAW that the
pistol had a cap on it ; the prisoner told me it was
loaded. I gave the pistol to his cousin to measure
the length of it, as he was going to have a pocket
made in his coat to hold a pair of pistols. Tile pri-
soner afterwards put the pistol into his waistcoat
pocket. The pistol produced by Inspector Norris
is very similar to the one I saw. The prisoner said
tie was going to Bath when he left, and that he
might came over on the Wednesday and go to
A.,2liton.
Mr. Lucas, surgeon, recalled, stated that a pistol
of the description produced by Inspector Norris
would inflict the wound and discharge the bullet
found in the head of the decea ed. A bullet received
from Inspector Norris weighed with the bullet taken
from deceased's herd was about 2 grains heavie
Some of the otter bullets in prisoner's powder flask
weighed the sune, or only differed ab )ut a gfaiP.
Part of the bullet taken from deceased's heal was
cut off in extra:Aim).

John Hill, son of John Hill, tailor—l am 13
years of age. On Thursday, the 10th Sept., I was
at the top of Nightingale-valley, inside the wall,
between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Four
other b,-)ys were with me. I saw a man and woman
at ilia top of the valley. They were comm; from
the wall towards the river. I am sure I should
know that man if I saw him again. I took notice of
him ; he was walking after a young woman ; I was
up in a tree at this t me with ano-her boy, looking
down upon them as they passed under. The pr►-
soner is the man. I saw him here on Saturday
last. I bad given a description of him bel.re to Mr.
Gould, the chicf constable, and
.I afterwards saw the
prisoner and identified him. • I know the woman
had on a dark dre3s, but I did not see her bonnet.
About a quarter of an hour of er I had seen the
prisoner and woman together I heard the report of
a pistol or gun. It came from the direction in
which they went.
By Mr. Harris—The prisoner hai on a dark
brown coat and a cap. The woman was a short
woman. The man and woman coul I have seen me
where I was.

Wm. J. Collins, son of J. P. Collins, of Wilson-
street, another 14d who was in company with the
last witnus, confirmed his evidence.
Inspector Not-Aid, in addition to his former state-
ment, handed in a c.mplete invent )ry of the thing;
found in the prisoner's bedroom and pantry, and in
the Loxes of the deceased, several of which were
identified by Miss Ford, the housekeeper, as the

property of -Charlotte Pug-alley.
Notris also st ate i that on taking- the prisoner
into custody and charging him with the murder, he
said, "I know nahing at all about it."
The prisoner, acting under the advice of his soli-
citor, declined saying anything in his defence, and
was fully committed for trial at the next assize.

his room my mother and two brothers and the men
servants were there, and my married sister followed
me. My brother Thomas had on his trousers, but
nothing else, and my brother James was in his
night shirt. The house was examined by the men,
and my brother Thomas told me that the kitchen
door was found open. They found no trace of any
robbers. The dining-room door, which was not
locked at night, was open, and my brother James's
desk had been broken open, and 141. 10s. taken
from it. I never saw the money in the desk, but
my brother James told me it had been left in it the
night before. A drawer belonging to the cupboard
in the kit Chen was also opened, but nothing was
missed from it. A " collie" dog was kept in the
house, and my brother Thomas told me that on
Tuesday night it slept in his bedroom. Sometimes
it slept in Thomas's bedroom, and sometimes in
James's. It does not make any alarms at strangers
except when out of doors.
Jean Henderson—l am the widow of the de-
ceased. I went to-bed about 12 o'clock on Tuesday
night. My daughter Jane went upstairs with me,
but I slept with my married daughter Jessie, who
had gone to bed before me. The deceased went to
bed about nine o'clock. I left my son James in the
sitting-room. I fastened the outside kitchen door
before I went to bed, and I knew that the front one
was also fastened. I fell asleep shortly after I went
to bed, and afterwards awoke when I heard my son
James coming upstairs, but cannot say how long it
was after I left him downstairs. I fell asleep again
shortly after he went into his room, and did not
awake till I heard the report of a gun, about two
o'clock in the morning. The next thing I heard was
James opening his door and firing a gun down the
stairs. There was not more than half a minute be-
tween the first and second shots. I next heard
sounds as of persons running down the stairs, either
in their stockings or with something over their
shoes. Directly afterwards I heard James calling
to his brother Thomas in the attic to come down
stairs immediately, as there were robbers in
the house. I and my daughter got out of bed
and held the door, fearing that the robbers might
come into our room. Afterwards my two sons
came into my room ; Thomas had on only his trou-
sers, and James was in his night-shirt. After they
went down stairs they fired two other sleets from
the kitchen door, in order to frighten the robbers.
Mr. Roberts, for the prisoner, here applied to
have the inquiry adjourned, on the ground that he
was not sufficiently instructed to cross-examine the
witnesses. He also applied that at the next sitting
the prisoner should be present.
The Coroner said that he intended to take the
evidence of all the inmates of the house to-night.
As yet nothing had been stated tending directly to
implicate the prisoner, and as soon as anything was
given that affected him he would adjourn the in-
quiry. He was always anxious that a person who
was charged with a criminal offence should be pre-
sent when the evidence was given against him, but
Le did not see that he could order the accused to be
brought before the jury.
Mr. Reddish (clerk to the niagistratee for the
Stockport division) said helthought there would be
no objection on the part of the magistrates to
allow the prisoner to be present at the inquiry
when anything was proved that affected him; but
at present there was nothing that implicated him,
and he could not see how the inquiry could be ad-
journed at this stage.
Mrs. Henderson, in reply to Mr. Roberts, stated
that her son was now in custody on the charge of
murdering his father ; but he was a good and kind
son both to her husband and to herself.
Mr. Roberts then renewed his application for an
adjournment, but the coroner decided upon taking
further evidence.
Thomas Henderson—l am son of the deceased. I
went to bed in the attic on Tuesday about half-past
11 o'clock. I was disturbed by the report of fire-
arms about 2 o'clock on the following morning, and
I immediately jumped out of bed and awoke the ser-
vant-man and the boy. I heard my brother get
out of bed and walk as if to get his gun and then fire.
As soon as I could get a light I and the man went
half way down the stairs leading to my father's room.
I heard the second shot in about half a minute after
the first, and then my broth: r James called out
there were robbers in the house. I am not sure
whether he called before or after the second shot. I
cannot recollect. While I was standing on the land-
ing, half way down the garret stairs, James weut
went back into his room and re-loaded the gun. It
was a double barrelled gun ; but one of the barrels
had been discharged the morning before, when my
brother shot at a sparrow in the pear tree by the
sale of the house. I know that lie shot at a sparrow
because I saw him do it. I distinctly heard him
ramming both barrels while I was on the stairs ;
and as soon as he came out of his room he and I
and a man went down stairs. I went first, carrying
a candle and a stick. The outer kitchen door was
standing open. It was fastened the night before
with a lock and wooden bar. The bar was resting
against the wall, and not broken, so it must have
been placed there. The lock was not injured, and
the key was in it on the inside. We did not 1 )ok
at the windows until we had knocked up the two
Irishmen who slept in the granary. None of the
windows had been broken or interfered with. I
looked into the lobby and saw that the front door
was fastened. In the sitting-room we found that
my brother James's desk had been broken open and
14/. 10i. belonging to him taken from it. I never
saw the money, but he told me he bad left it there.
We next went up stairs into our father's room, into
which we had not gone before. We found him lying
on his back, with his head upon the pillow, and
his arms folded across his cheat, as if he had been
asleep when he was shot.
After hie evidence hal been read over, and before
he signed it, the witness stated that after his bro-
ther tire 1 he hard foot steps on the stairs, and they
appeared to be 'hose of 3or 4 persons, who had
something ems their shoes. After he and his brother
had been into his father's room, hie brother gave
him the gun, and he discharge.l both lyArrels at the
back door. Previously to this he had been to his
mother's and sister's rooms and told them that his
father was dead. All thisoccupieclabeut a qua: ter of
an hour. The powder and shot were sometimes kept
in the sitting-room, and sometimes in James's bed-
room. He recollected hearing his sister Jane say
that his 'brother James had fired one of the barrel
of the gun at a sparrow, and killed it on Tuesday
m-orning, and he (Thomas) atferwards saw the dead
bird in the kitchen.
Jassy E trlam—l am the wife of Edward Earlarn,
a farm r of Woodford, and daughter of the de-
ceased, at whose house at Brame' I lived. I slept
with my mother, and on Tuesday night I retired to
rest between 8 and 9 o'clock. I was asleep when
My mlther came to bed. I was awoke about tNO
o'clock the next morning by the report of fire-army.
Immediately afterwards my brother James opened
les door and shouted, but I am not sure whether
be fired ; I think he did. Between the first and
s(c)ud reports I heard footsteps in my father's
room, and they sounded as if the persons had some-
thing on their shoes. After the second shot I beard
foot tops going doWn. the stairs.
Th;s.was the last le itness :examined; and the
coroner adjourned the inquiry to Tuesday next.

LOVE AND MARRIAGE.—It would be well did experi-
ence justify us in saying, "once a lover always a lover,"
and that the wife never becomes less dear than the bride;
but although the husband may not find all the perfec-
tions his excited fancy may have portrayed in the object
cf his choice when a lover, we still believe and hope the
cases are rare in which any man, however depraved,
could part with her who had once loved him as women
only can and do love, without a pang of remorse. There
is a curious fact related of the Reign of Terror in France
when the law of divorce was made so easy, that it was a
very common occurrence to find persons who had availed
themselves of this privilege, again re-entering into those
bonds with their first partners from which they had once
so eagerly sought to be released.

delicious Revalenta Arabica Food admirably adapted to
remove all disorders of stomach and bowels to which ins

was very delicate and wasting away, and milk, sago, and
arrowroot turned sour on its stomach, causing great suffer-
ing. We then fed it upon Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica,
which agreed wonderfully with her ; and she is now, at the
age of nine months, a plump and lively little girl.—Daniel
Servas. Wildervank, Holland, Sept. 20, 1853. Dear Sir,-
Oar baby, which Heaven presented us with ten months back,
was attacked, when four weeks old, with a disease of the
stomach and glands, by which our seven previous infants
had all been carried off, and this last child seemed destined
to follow its sisters and brothers before many days, for our
doctor, a very able practitioner, had, during three weeks, ex-
hausted all his skill, and was at a loss what to prescribe
next, when he advised Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, which,
I am happy to say, worked a groat change for the better in a
few days ; and, iu six weeks' time, the child was perfectly
well, and is now a cheerful, blooming boy—a source of the
greatest happiness to us all. Tuis delicious remedy may
fairly be considered one of the greatest blessings ever disco•
vered.—With eternal gratitude, yours, &c., L. H. Vaalmau.

POLICE INTELLIGENCT.—Oct. 2.

MANSION-HOUSE.

[The following appeared in a portion of our impression
of yesterday :—]
THE ALLEGED LIBEL ON THE LORD MAYOR ELECT (SIR
R. W. CARDEN). —Mr. Thomas Plant Rowe, deputy
bridgemaster, and connected with the Fellowship of
Porters, 102, Cox's-terrace, Lower-road, Bermondsey,
appeared in answer to a summons obtained by Alderman
Sir R. W. Carden, M.P. (Lord Mayor elect), charging
him with having attempted to extort money from him
by threatening to. print and publish, or offering to abstain
from printing and publishing a certain libel affecting the
said Sir R. W. Carden. The case arose out of the late
proceedings connected with the election of Lord Mayor,
the money being claimed to abstain from issuing placards
to incite the livery against the return of Alderman Car-
den as Lord Mayor.
Mr. Humphreys appeared for the complainant, and
Mr. Lewis (Ely-place), for the defendant.
Mr. Humphreys said that Sir R. Carden appeared be-
fore his lordship to complain of the defendant's conduct
relative to the late election of Lord Mayor, wider a sta-
tute that made it an' offence for any one to (directly or
indirectly) attempt what was charged against the defen-
dant. The learned gentleman having detailed the facts
he should prove, said that no other construction could
be put upon the defendant's conduct than that stated in
the summons, because no opposition was offered by the
Livery to the election of the alderman. Ee then called
the following witnesses, and said that if he proved his
case he should ask the prisoner to be held to bail to
answer any further charge that might be brought against
him.

Mr. Secondary Potter deposed that in the early part
of last week (Wednesday or Thurday) the defendant
called on him. Witness, knowing him, asked him if
there was to be any opposition to Sir R. Carden. He
replied, certainly, that he had been appointed agent by
the publicans or victuallera for that psrpose. 4,0001.
or 5,0001. was subscribed, and he was certain that a poll
would be demanded and Sir IL Carden rejected. Wit-
ness said he was sorry to hear it; that was all that
passed between them. Sir R. Carden afterwards called
on wituess, and be communicated what had passed
between them to Sir R. Carden.

By Mr. Lewis—The conversation on the subject arose
from his asking Mr. Rose if there was to be an opposi-
tion. Witness had previously heard a rumour (as was
the usual case) that there was to be an opposition.
Mr. Thorpe, King-street, Cheapside, chairman of the
Navigation Committee—Some days before the election
he saw the defendant in the lobby of the Guildhall, and
had a conversation with him relative to the then pend-
ing election of Lord Mayor. He asked the defendant
if it was probable that Sir Robert would be opplsed.
Defendant replied he thought so, as 1,5001. had been
subscribed by the publicansaor licensed victualler, and
that it would take 1,6001. to beat it, but Sir Robert did
not feel disposed -to meet it. Defendant expressed
sorrow at such being the case, because Sir Robert was
a very good man, and ought to come in. He after-
wards communicated the conversation to Sir R.

Carden. .
By Mr. Lewis—Most likely he commenced the con-
versation, and, in consequence, what followed took place.
He had had conversations with others as to the sup-
posed opposition to Sr Robert ; he heard it frequently
mentioned, but he did not think he heard that as Sir
Robert was a rich man he ought to spend a little
money.
Alderman Hale deposed that previous to the election
—about a fortnight—he had a conversation with the
defendant about the election ; seeing Mr. Rose at the
Guildhall and knowing he took an interest in the
elections of Lord Mayor he asked him if there was to be
any opposition at the ensuing election, and he replied
there was, because Sir Robert was very obstinate.
Mr. Lewis submitted that the defendant ghoul l only
be called on to meet the charge specified in the summons
committed on the 27th September, and not a variety of
charges such as that now deposed to.
The Lord Mayor said he must have the whole of the
evidence first, and decide the case after.
Alderman Hales continued—Rose said there would be
an opposition unless an arrangement was made with him.
He said 2,6001. had been subscribed, and alluded to
the licensed victuallers, who he sale were very angry at
Sir Robert's conduct. Witness afterwards communi-
cated the conversation_ to Sir Robert.
By Mr. Lewis—He had no previous communication
with Alderman Carden before he saw Mr. Rose, Wit-
ness commenced the conversation partly from inqusi-
tive motives and partly from a desire not to see a con-
test. He was not on that occasion professing to act as
a friend of Sir Robert's. He saw Sir R. Car len about
three or four days after the conversation. He didn't
think that he asked others about any opposition. He
asked Mr. Rose because he was the person who generally
conducted the oppositions.
Mr. Deputy Kebble deposed that he saw the defend-
ant previously to the 21st September. Defendant called
on him and said that he had come to know if anything
was likely to be done, and that he supposed witness
knew the object of his visit Witness suspected what it
wag, and replied that he had nothing to say to him,
because he had not seen Sir It. Carden, but that he was
Ito see him at half past 10 o'clock that day,
and if he would call on him (witness) at 12 o'clock he
might have something to say to him. Defendant called
-at that titre; and witness told him he had nothing to
say to him then, but that he should see Sir R. Carden
again, and he had better call the next day. Defendant
did not on either occasion say anything about his being
employed in reference 'to the election. Defendant called
the next day, the 224 when witness toll him he was not
in a position to say anything to him, but that be height be.
At the first interview defendant produond a MS. paper,
which he stated had bean sent to a printer by a publican
of high standing. He had calmed on the printer and
asked to see it. He at first refused, but as it happened
to be a printer who had printed for him for 20 years, he
said to him, "if you don't show it to me you shall never
print another line fit me." Upon that the printer pro-
duced the MS , and he snatched it out of his hand and
placed it in his pocket, at which the printer was very
angry. He read the paper.
Mr. Humphreys asked the defendant to produce the
paper.
Mr. Lewis said he had not got it. ~
Mr. Humpreys handed the witness a printed placard,
headed, " Who are we to have for Lord Mayor ?'
Mr. Deputy Kebble said the MS. he bad read was
similar to the first part of the placard produced, but
stopped at that part which stated that Alderman Car-
den's evidence " was offensive to ourselves as men, and
disgustingly so as regarded our wives and daughters."
The placard has been already. published. At the
third and last interview with the defendant,
witness informed him that " Sir Robert Carden
would do nothing ;" on that defendant polled out a
paper, but whether it was the one witness saw before or
not, he could not say; and replied, " this shall be posted
to-night, and Sir Robert is out and no mistake." He
communicated the conversation to Sir Robert.

had subscribed towards an One he said
resided at leliegton, and another elsewhere, but

witness did not recollect them, because he paid no atten-
tion to it, considering it a little bAnbast on the d.fen•
dant's part. He was the deputy of Sir Robert's ward
and his friend. Witness had a conversation with Mr.
Millard, senior Under Sheriff, with reference to the de-
fendant. Before ko saw him defendant said to witness
at the first interview that he had been rent to him by
Mr. Millard. He had a conversation wi h
_Sir

R. Carden relative to the engagement f Mr.
Roe as an electionageLt before he had an interview

with him ; Mr. Millard was present with Witces3 and
Sir R. Carden, and they urged on &r it4sert that he
should be employed, to prevent trouble and expense.
gr. Lewis—What was he to ba employed to do I
Witness—to pack the hall.
Mr. Lewis—With what
Witness—With long-shore men. •
Mr. Lewis—What were they. to be paid; and was he
to have any remuneration for his services?
Witness—Oar propositioa went to that extent, but I
believe no snm was named. •
Mr. Lewis—May I take it that Sirß. Carden concurred
with you and Mr. Millard on the propriety of packing
the hall with long shore-men ,
Witness—Quite the .reveroe. It was not afterwards

arranged by him and Mr. Millard, in the presence of Sir
R. Carden, to send for Mr. Rohe. Witness had only
one interview with. Mr. Millard on this suiject. After
the first interview. with the defendant witness appointed
the subsequent ones. Witness never saw Mr. Millard
afterwards on the matter. He did not see what was on
the paper Rose produced at the last interview.
Mr. Lewis—Why did you tell Mr. Rose to come to
you on three successive occasions
Witness—That I might in the meantime communicate
with Sir R. Carden.
Mr. Lewis—Did you not state to the defendant that
you had the whole management of the election ?
Witness—l can't recollect if I went so far as that.
Mr. Lewis—Had you the management of the elec-
tion ?
Witness—l thought so, but it afterwards turned
out I had not.
Mr. Lewis—When did you discover that ?
Witness—When I thought myself and Mr. Millard
bad wrung from Sir Robert a reluctant compliance with
what we wished to carry out. On Monday, 21st Sept.,
witness called on Sir R. Carden, by appointment, when
be repudiated the idea that he had given witness any
authority to enter into an arrangement with Mr. Rose.
In my first interview with the defendant he told him that
he thought he had carte blanche from Sir R. Carden,
but that he then found he was mistaken.
Mr. Lewis—Now, from the first to the last, did you
not seek the interview with Mr. Rase

Witness—No, he sought me.
Mr. Lewis—Was it your proposition, as deputy of
the ward, that the hall should be packed ?
Witness—Yes; because Sir Robert Carden was
threatened with an oppositirni.
Mr. Lewis—Then the object was to fill the hall with
men to keep out the voters ?
Witness--No; because they are voters, and ::e paid
for voting.
Mr. Lewis—Then to have the voters all on ono side ?

Witness—Yes.
Mr. Lewis at this stage (three o'clock) asked for an
adjournment, on account of his being compelled to leave
the court.
Mr. ilumpbreys resisted the application.
Mr. Lewis said such a course was usual, and he ap-
pealed to Sir R. Carden not to proceed with the case in
his absence.

Sir R. Cardeti—l have nothing to do with the case,
I leave it in the hands of my solicitor.

Mr. Humphreys:—l shall not allow yon to interfere
with me in conducting the, case. If any odium arises
from this proceeding let it rest entirely on me.
Inspect )r Mitchell was then called, and proved the

posting of the bills in question on the walls of the
Guildhall.

After some other eviience of a formal character,

Thomas Wicking, bill-sticker, said that he obtained
the placards from a gentlema❑ is Guildhall-.yard, between
seven and eight o'clock at night on Tuesday, the 22d.
Ile met the gentleman by appointment.
Mr. Humphreys—Who wai the gentleman wha gave
you the bills ?

"Witness—l can't swear to him ;he was a NtOUti,l2
man.

Mr. Humphreys—Do you see him in court
Witness--If I was to see him again I could not identify
him.

Mr. Millard, senior under sheriff, deposed that before
the election he sent for Mr. Else, and he called on him
and had a conversation with him on the ensuing election.
I asked him what would be his retaining fee in the event
of his being engaged as agent for Sir R. Carden, in con-
sequence of a threatened opposition to that gentleman ;
the answer was he left it to me ; I told him I was de-
sirous he should name the sum, but as he appeared un-
willing to do so, I asked him if 1001. to cover all the
expenses of the poll wooll be a sufficient remuneration,
with the addition of 501. in the event of Sir R. Carden's
election ; he made no reply, and I said I would com-
municate with Sir R. Carden if he would give the answer,
and•if his services were required he would be sent for ;
defendant left and called again on the 18th September
after I had seen Sir R. Carden. I told him then that I
had nothing further to do in it, and I sent him to Mr.
Deputy Kebble ; I had no communication after with
the defendant.

Mr. Millard wished to state what passed between him
and Sir R. Carden, to clear his character from any im-
putation that might rest on it from the part he had taken
in these proceedings, but
Mr. Humphreys said he could not ask him, nor let him
state it. No doubt Mr. Lewis would ask him on the
next examination.

Th© further examination of Mr. Millard was then
deferred.
Alderman Sir R. Carden was then called and sworn
He deposed that ho never autborised or even thought of

the defendant being employed in refer-nee to his eat:firm
For Lord Mayor ; he was the next Alderman in rotation

or the civic chair.

This was the case for the complainant, and the further
hearing was adjourned till to-morrow (Saturday) at one
o'clock.

BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, OCT. 2.

The Right Hon. the Lords of the Committee of Privy
Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through
the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a de-
spatch from her Majesty's Minister at St. Petersburg,
reporting that masters of foreign vessels arriving at any
port in the Black Sea, will no longer be required to deposit
their ships' papers at the Custom-house of the port, but
must deliver them to the officers of quarantine, who will
at once forward them to the Consul of the nation to which
the vessel belongs, and who will return them to the master
ou the production of a proper permit of departure from
the Custom-house.
