her will. When he was called before his lordship
on the 2d February his lordship asked him to tell
all that had occurred, and he did so. His lordship
asked for a letter, which the witness had received
from Mary Tyler, which witness fetched. A por-
tion of the writing was torn off—perhaps to light
his pipe with, and his lordship on seeing it said :
"This is just what I expected. You've been burn-
ing this."
[The letter was read. It was without date, and
requested Farrow to send her all her letters as she
was going to leave that part of the country, and •
did not wish to trouble him to write any more
letters. It also upbraided him for having done her
" the greatest injury," but that part of the letter
was torn.]

His lordship repeated that he (witness) had torn
the letter purposely, and said he should send for
the police superintendent (Raby), and have him
locked up, that he should have prison diet—bread
and water—and that he would have him sent for
penal servitude. He added that he would make
him an example for the rest of the establishment.
Supt. Raby afterwards came and handcuffed him,
and took him to the police-station in the village,
where he was kept until Monday morning (this
being Saturday afternoon). He.had meals there--
supper of bread and cheese, breakfast of coffee and
bread and butter, dinner a slice of mutton and
potatoes, and tea in the evening. He slept in a
room up a ladder—(witness afterwards described.
the ladder as steps without any sides)—and had a
mattress and rug. There might have been four rugs
—he did not remember. On the Monday morning
he was taken to Witley Court, before Lord Dudley
and Ward, Sir Thomas Winnington, and the clerk
to the magistrates. The regular petty sessions are
held at the Hundred House, about a mile from Wit-
ley Court. After hearing the statement of the girl
Tyler, and the cross-examination by Mr. Pullen,
who attended as witness's attorney, the case was
dismissed. After that Lord Dudley said witness
was a worthless fellow, and that he had killed two
valuable horses for him. As he was leaving the
room with Mr. Pullen, his lordship said he should.
detain him, and he was detained for a few minutes.
while the clerk took down a description of him.
His lordship said he believed that the statement of
the girl was true, that he had forced her, and that
he ought to be indicted for perjury.
In cross-examination by Mr. Huddleston, the wit-
ness admitted that he was guaranteed against all ex-
pense in this case, but denied that he had ever told.
Lord Tredegar's coachman so. He did communi-
cate with some one when at the lock-up, but declined.
to say who, lest he should get him into trouble.
It was a fellow-servant. Two persons came to the
police station and saw him, Mr. Hammond (who
sent him some cider) and Mr. Arthur, landlord
of the Hundred House Inn. The girl in her de-
position stated that witness had said that he had to
pay to four bastard children, and that he made it
his boast that he seduced every respectable girl he
could. Witness denied that he had ever made such
a boast.

Mr. Pullen, attorney of Worcester, who defended
Farrow when before the justices at Witley Court,
gave his version of what took place there, which
corroborated the evidence of Farrow. There was
some conversation between Earl Dudley and himself
as to his presence there. Lord Dudley said he was
there only on sufferance, but Mr. Pullen claimed

to be there as of right, as his lordship had made his
private house a justice room. When the charge was
dismissed, and his lordship said he should detain
Farrow, witness told him that if he did Farrow
w,ould have his remedy against him and that he
should defend him. His lordship said Farrow was
a worthless fellow and a liar, and ought to be
charged with perjury—that he would do what he
could against him—that he would take care the
girl swore the child—and that he would take the
girl's deposition on that allegation at once. This
was done, and it appears a summons was issued at
once, citing the plaintiff to appear before the magis-
trates on the 29th of August next (which would be
about a month after the child will be born, in the
natural course of events).
Some other evidence of a formal nature, and not
materially altering the above facts, having been
given, the plaintiff's case closed.
Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., then addressed the jury
on behalf of the noble defendant, justifying his con-
duct in every particular.
The Earl of Dudley and Ward was next called,
and gave his version of what took place before him.
He considered the plaintiff's statement as to his
connexion with the girl, that it had taken place in
a public highway, between an inn and a turnpikes
that he had repeated his conduct thrice in the
same evening, so improbable, that he could
not believe him. He considered he was a
liar and a bad man, and had called him
so. Farrow was only a weekly servant, was paid
weekly, and was at liberty any week to leave
his service. Considering the gravity of the charge,
therefore, he (Lord Dudley) did not feel justified in
disposing of it by himself summarily on the Satur-
day, nor did he feel justified in setting him at liberty
after his threat to leave the country. He had there-
fore ordered him to be kept in custody until the
Monday, when he had the assistance of a brother
magistrate. It was very likely he had called him
a worthless fellow, for that was his impression.
Had never threatened him with penal servitude or
prison diet. When Raby came he told him he must
be answerable for the safe custody of his prisoner,
and that he had better, therefore, put the handcuffs
on him.
His lordship was under cross-examination when
the last train left for London.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

BRI ST OL-JuLy 16.

At our market to-day there was a very fair attendance of
millers, who were buyers of wheat to a moderate extent, at
last week's prices. Oats and barley rather dearer. Peas
not so much pressed.
