By Mr. Lewis, who appeared for Hardy—lt was about-
half-past seven when the prisoner came to his house.
rie did not see him longer than five minutes; He was
clone. The gas was not lit, but there was sufficient light
for him to be positive Hardy was the person who pre-
sented t'ae note. Oa Tuesd sy last, at the station-hause,
he said be believed Brooks to be the person who pre-
,ented the cheque. He never said positively that Brooks
was the psrson who presented the note. Immediately
he saw Hardy he identified him as the party.
Mr. W. Johnson said he re,ided at 26, Dyke-street,
Lincoln's inn-fields, and was well acquainted with the
last witness. The note presented to the last witness was
not in be handwriting:---neither the body of it nor the
sigt*ane. He never authorised any person to write
such a note. The cheque which was ipclosed in the
note he never saw until the present occasion. He did
not kco w Messrs. Chubb and Son. He knew the pH.-
soner Brooks—be lodged at his house about two years
ago. His prop-r name was Keeling. It was from the
circumstance' of his havipg lodged at his residence that
he became acquainted with the fact that he (witnes-)
knew Mr. Wetlierall. He did not know the prisoner
Hardy.
qr. Barton, residing at No. 2, Upper Wellington-
street, Strand, said he was an advertising agent. The
handwriting of both the note and cheque was Brooks's.
Brooks had been a clerk in his employ.
Mr John Bridgewater, cashier at the Strand Branch
of the London and Westminster Bank—Messrs. Chubb
and Son have no account there. The cheque presented
had been torn from the book then in his hand. He gave
the cheque-book to a person who presented a card, but
he oxtail not say that Hardy was that person.
• Mr. Henry—Does the London and Westminster
Bank intend to prosecute in this case I
Witness said he believed not. He had heard of no
Intention of the kind. The bank had been robbed of
nothing but the cheque-book.
Mr. Henry said be thought the bank ought to prose-
cute. The book had been obtained by a forged order.
If a cheque-book had been obtained from the Bank of
England by a false order, he had no doubt the directors
would prosecute. .

Police-constable F 72, said, from information he received
he went to the Victoria Theatre, a few nights ago, and
sw.v the prisoner Hardy in the pit. He took him into
custody for passing forged cheques. He said he had
only passed one, and that he knew was a forgery. He
said he passed it at a public-house in Macclesfield-
street, Soho. He also said, last Wednesday fortnight
Brooks came ta him at his residence, and said he had
heard be was out of work, and he then asked him he if
would mind earning a shilling or two,
ias he wanted
somebody to go into the city for some wine ; but a
horse and cart would have to be obtained.
After hiring a horse and cart they drove to near Temple-
bar, and Brooks gave him a letter to take into the bank;
and be received the cheque book. They afterwards pro•
ceeded tl the London Wine Company, and Brooks gave
him a letter to take into the office. Ho soon afterwards
came to me and said, " Come away, I have given you
the wrong letter ; you'll get transported." He said he
had been living with Brooks ever since. _

yN
A police constable proved that Brooks and Hardy
had been living together. On searching Brooks at the
station-house he found a cheque book on his person.
The prisoners, in answer to the charge, each made a
somewhat rambling statement, the effect of which
was that Brooks raid Hardy via.; the person who first
suggested the getting the cheque-book.
`Mr case having finished,
Mr. Henry said he should remand the prisoners in
orkitr that the course to be pursued by the London and
Westminster Bank might be ascertained.

FEMALE PRACTITIONERS.—From the Bth annual re
port of the Fernr.le Medical College of Pennsylvania,
which is located in Philadelphia, we see that since its
foundation, the institution has qualified for their pro-
fession 164 ladies. This is saying considerable for the
growth of the legitimate cause of woman. There is no
wordy fighting tor, the "rights of woman" here, but wo-
man quietly and gracefully- takes her rights and as
quietly and gracefully uses them.

M. Cioglier. The great illusion in Mickey's mind is
hunting and horseracing, the noise of which he fre-
quenqy mimics by putting his bands to his mouth and
imitating the sound ofa horn. It appears that Dr. Dil-
lor, the highly esteemed visiting physician, proceeded
at the usual hour from his residence on Saturday
morning to inspect the patients, and on arriving at the
front entrance had his mare, as was customary, sent to
a stable in the rear to await his departure. The doctor
had not been more than 15 minutes in the institution
when the lunatic proceeded to the stable and took out
the mare. Having led her to the back gate, he informed
the porter that he was taking the mare round to the
doctor at tj.e front entrancP. Murphy opened the gate
and allowed egress to the lunatic and the doctor's
mare.. Mickey no sooner found himself free, and
the gate I,,cke,d behind him, tban he mounted the
animal, rode fearlessly past the front gate unobserved.
and got into Ballinasloe. lie rode quickly throne;
the Main-street unchallenged, and dashed rapidly up
Drinl,-street.- Here he was observed by one of the offi-
cials of the asylum, who used his best exertions to over-
take and arrest the fugitive, but to no purpose. The
official then proceeded to the asylum and reported the
circumstance. A ear was procured, and two keepers
sent in hot pursuit. By this time, however, Mickey
had passed the suburban district of Brackerna, and bad
the wide country before him. At 10 o'clock at night the
lunatic was brought to prison in custody of the keepers
despatched after him.—Wistern Star.
