L"ONVON, TUESDAY EVENPNG-,

LAW INTELLIGENOE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH,

',Sittings at Guildhall, before Lord Campbell and a
Special Jury.)
THE QUEEN V. BOBINSON—PELTURY.

The further hearing of this extraordinary case was
resumed this morning. The first witness called was

Sarah Grocott—l am the wife of a butcher in St.
John's Wood. I was engaged on 28th June, 1854, by
Field to go to Mrs. King's. I was to be paid 21, a
week; I went there on Thursday the 29th. I
know the defendant. I saw him on that day
about luncheon time. He went to the Crystal
Palace with Mrs. Evans and Mr. Mellins. They dined
that day on their return between 7 and 8 o'clock. I
remained in the house till the following Saturday
week. I had been engaged specially to watch Mrs.
Evans. Mr. Robinson came again on the 30th
about luncheon time. That was his usual time
for calling. Mrs. Evans was in the house, and they
were alone together for some time. He
called again the following day (Saturday) ; they were
alone on that day together for some time. I had ob-
served nothing up to that time. On Sunday Field gave
me a gimblet, and I made a hole in the folding door be
tween the drawing-room and back drawing-room. I
was unable to command a view of the sofa through the
first hole I made. The second time I was more suc-
cessful, and could command a view of the sofa in the
drawing room. On the 4th of July Mr. Robinson came
as usual. Mr. Mellins was there ; they had luncheon
about 1 o'clock, and Mr. Mellins went out. After he
had gone out the defendant and Mrs. Evans were alone
in the drawing-room. I went into the back drawing-
room, where I found Mrs. Price taking an inventory.
I looked through the second bole I had made, and
I saw the defendant and Mrs. Evans sitting
on the sofa, side by side. Mrs. Price
looked through, and in doing so made a slight noise.
On that Mrs. Evans came into the room and asked
what we were about. Mrs. Price said taking an
inventory. I think we then both went down stairs.
After that I heard the drawing-room door shut as I
supposed by Mrs. Evans. I then went up stairs
again with Mrs. Price. I again looked through the
hole and I saw the defendant and Mrs. Evans
on the sofa. Mrs. Evans was sitting astride the defend-
ant's lap. I fetched Mrs. King up, who looked through
the bole also. The defendant came again the following
day, July 5, and was alone with Mrs. Evans for some
time. I again looked through the hole and saw them
on the sofa. I witnessed a similar act to that on the
previous day, only they were in a different posi-
tion. I left, and asked Mrs. King to come
up, and she looked through the hole. I again
looked through and saw tbat they had not changed their
position on the sofa. That night, before going to Liver-
pool, in August; I saw the defendant in company with
Mrs. King. She corroborated Mrs. King's evidence,
relative to the defendant's meeting them in Brogustone-
etreet, previous to the trial in Liverpool, in August, and
the conversation that passed between them. Defendant
did not speak to me ; he did not know me.
Cross-examined—When Field engaged me I was
to have 21. a week for a mouth. I knew I was to
watch a lady. I remained 9or 10 days, and had rey
money, 81. I did my duty very carefully. I did not
look through the keyhole, but I went once to
the door and listened ; that was the only time
I listened. I made the hole in the door in the
middle of the day, when they were all out. I found I
could not see the sofa, and I had to make another. The
familiarity was taking place when I saw them. I went
to Mrs. King in the dining room, and fetched her up.
She came up immediately and looked through the hole.
I was not a minute fetching Mrs. King. I did not tell
Field of it for some time afterwards. Mr. Mellins paid
me the 81, and I had given my evidence to that gentle.
man before seeing Field. I saw Field yesterday, and spoke
to him several times ; once I believe after Mrs. King
had given her evidence. I have been examined twice
at Liverpool and once in Doctors' Commons. I said
nothing about the conversation with the defendant
except on the second trial, because I was not asked
about it.

Re-examined--I was to have 8/. for the month
whether I discovered anything wrong or not.
Mrs. Price deposed: I keep a lodging-house in Ryder-
street, St. James's. My husband is at present in Ass.
tralia. She eorrobated the evidence of the last witness
relative to what she saw on looking through the hole in
the panel of the door. She added that the defendant's
hand was partly up Mrs. Evans' clothes.
Cross-examined—l did not know Mrs. King's real
name, or her mode of life when I became acquainted with
her. I once accompanied her to the Marble Arch to meet
as she said Mr. Evans ; she did not tell me she was
going to meet Field. Ws met -the latter there ; Mr.
Evans was sot with him. 1 did not hear her say,
"Here's my friend, Mrs. Price, perhaps she will oblige
me." I did not hear Field's answer. I always knew it
was supposed an intrigue was going on at Mrs. King's
it was desirable to discover ; I had been separated from
my husband, but I lived with him before he went
to Australia. After the discovery I went to Margate
with Mrs. King. Field spoke to me about it, but I
can't say if it was there. It was before the first trial in
Liverpool.

Re-examined—l have had no conversation with Field
nothing material at all—about the trial. My husband
was a warehouseman. He left me before he went to
Australia.

Margaret Clarkson Saunders, 31, Saville-street--I
was at Mrs. King's house on a Tuesday in July. I be-
lieve it was the 4th. I was in the house-keeper's room
on the basement cleaning paint. I know Eden Davis,
Mrs. Evans's maid. I saw her that day in the house-
keeper's room between two and four o'clock. She was
ironing, and did not go up stairs at all during that time.
Cro-s-examined—l occasionally worked for Mrs. King
in Brydges-street, Covent-garden. lam her cousin. It
was after the first trial that I was asked about Ellen
Davis.

John Clarke, fly-driver, at Cheltenham-1 recollect a
party being given at Lansdowne-crescent in 1845, about
150 yards from Mr. Carrington's. It was a private ball.
Miss Carrington and the defendant got into my fly : it
was between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning. He directed
me to drive to Berkeley.place, where the defendant
resided : it is a mile and a quarter from Lansdowne-cres-
cent. I drove them towards the place, and when near
Belle Vue, the defendant stopped the fly, got out and
paid me, directing me to drive the lady home to 15,
Lansdown•terrace, I did so, and the lady got out, I
have repeatedly seen them walking together in reti red
places in the suburbs of Cheltenham.
Cross-examined—l spoke of it at the time in 1845,
because it was something so unusual. At the request of
a fly-man I went on Friday last for the first time and
told Mr. Evans of it. I saw him at the Assembly.
rooms. The lady and defendant were both in ball
dresses. It was a very common thing to see the de
fendant guing to Mr. Carrington's house on a Sunday
morning between le and 1.3. o'clock.
This was the plaintifl's case.

Sir F, Thesiger, in addressing the jury for the defend-
ant, said he felt certain they were all deeply impressed
with the importance of this case, both as to its character
and its consequences, for they could entertain no doubt
at all that the charge of perjury was one of the most
serious that could be brought against any individual. It
was the greatest offence against scciety, poisoning the
very channels through which justice must flow, and he
was quite sure that their feeling on this subject would
induce them to regard with the most careful attention
all the circumstances of ',this most extraordinary
ease, and to weigh them carefully and deliberately
in their minds before they pronounced an opinion
one way or the other on the important issue they
were called upon to decide. To prove perjury the
evidence nhculd be clear and intelligible. Here
all the circumstances were of a conflicting character, and
he felt certain they would not convict if they had any
doubts on the circumstances of the ease brought forward
by the prosecution. It would be his duty fairly to lay
before them all the cireurnstancss in this case of any
importance, in order that they might fathom its intri-
cacies, and to protect the defendant, if they thought he
ought to be, from the charge if without foundation. Ike
then reviewed the origin of the proceedings up to the
lady's marriage in 1850, and her separation six months
after, on the ground that she refused to live with her
husband if his mother resided in the same house. She,
however, consented to do 60, bet her husband refused
to receive her, and she had not seen him since.
After referring to the evidence of the lady's
alleged conduct before marriage, which, if
true, must have been of common notoriety, and known
to the husband, the learned gentleman made some re•
marks on the conduct of the husband, and the excuse
he had made of that to get rid of his wife. Referring to
the conduct of Inspector Field, the learned gentleman
said that within the last few years there had grown up a
system, unusual in this country, of persons who had
been employed in the police force setting up a private
office, in which they held out that they were ready to
detect matters interesting to others to know. He
believed that that system was likely
to prove one of the
most mischievous description. II these persons confined
their operations to follow up and apprehend fugitive felons,
perhaps they would be the means ofproducinggood rather
