neatly. I did not threaten to leave him on account of dies
honest practices, and I did not know that he had been eon,
victed. We went to Cottage-lane about a fortnight before
Christmas. I think it was in March when I saw award.
I do not know the day that he called, but it was the mid-
dle of the week, because I was washing. It was my
habit to wash on a Tuesday or Wednesday. lie called
once on a Saturday. Atwell and Seward spoke before
me, but in so low a tone that what they said did not reach
me. I recollect Mrs. Haydon corning into the room when
the cheques were lyinc, on the table not rolled up, but
doubled in half. I only saw the back of them. Atwell
gave them to me the same day, when I put them on the
mante'piece. I opened them. Atwell took them away.
I believe the name of Smith, Payne, and Smith was on
them. I saw them on Monday last. I knew before that that
they were cheques on Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith.
Atwell had them back. I saw them before he got into
trouble. I did not road the engraving on the back. I can
only read a little. I did not read it myself. I was told what
it was by the party at whose house they were left, and
from which place I brought them. I have had a communi-
cation with Atwell since he was convicted. The last time
was three or four weeks ago, before he gave evidence here.
I saw Mrs. Haydon on Monday. I did not have any con-
versation with her in particular. I did not say anything
about Cotta,,e-lane. She told me she should know Seward
again, and I her that I should know him. Atwell did
not say anything to me about Seward after his conviction.
I never saw Seward except at Cottage-lane. He wore a
1 brown coat and a black hat, rather broad in the brim. I
think the coat had a velvet collar. He had no moustache
then. I spoke to him. I have not seen him from that
time till now.

Atwell in Newgate each time that I have been permitted
to go there. When Saward came in I was in the room
Further crosc-examined by Mr. James—lt is not quite
three months a;o that I went to Trafalgar-place. It wis
before the trial, and since which I have not been there.
The cheques were put into somebody's care in a brown
paper parcel after At well's conviction. I took that parcel
to Newgate, and it was delivered to Mr. Mullens in my
presence. The cheques were then taken out of the parcel.
Mr. C. F. Ash—l am an iron merchant, carrying on bu-
siness at No. 20, Upper Thames-street. On the 7th or
Bth of July last my premises were broken into. The nine
cheques produced upon Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith,
are my cheques. I missed a number of paid cheques after
the burglary. I also missed two blank cheques from my
cheque book. At that time I was using the cheque book
No. 15,430. The cheque produced for 911. is taken from
that book. The signature to it is a forgery.
Cross-examined by Mr. James—No ono was arrested on
the charge of the burglary.
Mary Anne Fennell—l live with my mother at No. 6,
Oakley-crescent, City-road. In February, 185 i, we had
the drawing-room floor to let. A gentleman, who gave the
name of Hammond, came to hire it. He occupie t the
drawing room for about two hours on two lays. The pri-
soner Anderson is something like him. When Hammond
was at our house the witness James Humphreys called to
see him. The last occasion was on the 19th of February.
I think Mr. Mullens called upon me the same afternoon.
James Humphreys—I am a greengrocer, living at 14,
Chapel-street, Oxford-street. In February last I was out
of employment, and advertised for the purpose of obtaining
a situation. I received a letter in answer, in consequence
of which I went to the house in Oakley-crescent, where
the last witness lives. I there saw a gentleman of the name
of Hammond, who asked me if I had brought the letter,
and I gave it him. The prisoner Anderson is very much
like that person. He engaged as as a sery itt, and sent
me to the Euston-square station to get his luggage. I re-
turned to the City-road, when ho gave me thecheque pro-
duced for 911. to get cashed. I presented it and was
detained. Ido not know the day of the month, but it was
in February.
At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Mullens said he had
no other witness to produce at that moment, and
The Lord Mayer remanded the prisoners for a week.
