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 ade a charge of 3s. 10d. for the
luggage, and he refused to pay it. I told him he
had better leave the boxes in the parcels-office for
the night, and perhaps Mr. Viner, the clerk, would
free him in the morning. 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.
lie-examined—l hal 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. 101 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 Great 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 goingto Liverpool when he brought the boxes.
There was a woman standing outside the door at the
time; whentheprisoner went out shejoined him, 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. Bythesea, o:
Freshford, proved that on Wednesday, the 9th 01
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
m 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 prison, 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 observe 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.
Aplin, of Wine-street, Bristol. On Monday the ith
Sept. I saw the prisoner in the evening in Wine-
street, and went ith him to the King's Head
Tavern. He rema‘ Jed 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 ccisin 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, ss he was going to have a pocket
made in his coat to hold a pair of pistols. The 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
he was going to Bath when he left, and that he
might come over on the Wednesday and go to
Ashton.
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 head was about 24 grains heavier.
Some of the other bullets in prisoner's powder flask
weighed tie same, or only differed about a grain.
Part of the bullet taken from deceased's head was
cut off in extraction.
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 the top of th'e valley. They were coming 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 time with another boy, looking
down upon them as they passed under. The pri-
soner is the man. I saw him here on Saturday
last. I had given a description of him before to Mr.
Gould, the chief constable, and I afterwards saw the
prisoner and identified him. I know the woman
had on a dark dress, but I did not see her bonnet.
About a quarter of an hour after I had seen the
prisoner and woman together 1 heard the report of
a pistol or gun. It came from the direction in
which they went.
By Mr. Harris—The prisoner hal on a dark
brown coat and a cap. The woman was a short
woman. The man and woman could have seen me
where I was.
Wm. J. Collins, son of J. P. Collins, of Wilson-
street, another lad who was in company with the
last witness, confirmed his evidence.
Inspector Noriis; in addition to his former state-
ment, handed in a complete inventory of the things
found in the prisoner's bedroom and pantry, and in
the boxes of the deceased, several of which were
identified by Miss Ford, the housekeeper, as the
property of Charlotte Pugsley.
Norris also stated that on taking the prisoner
into custody and charging him with the murder, he
said, "I know nothing 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 mon,
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 kitchen 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 marriQd 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 fattened. I fell asleep shortly after 1 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 shots 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 ho could older the aczused to be
brought before the jury. .

Mr. Reddish (clerk to the magistrates for the
Stockport division) said he thought 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 of or
the first, and then my brother 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 went
went back into his room and re-loaded the gnu. It
was a double-barrelled gun ; but ono of the barrels
had been discharged the morning before, when my
brother shot at a sparrow in the pear tree by the
side of the house. I know that he 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 s'airs. 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 do a.
was fastened. In the sitting-room we found that
my brother James's desk had been broken open and
141. 10s. belonging to him taken from it. I never
saw the money, but he told me he had 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 his evidence had been read over, and b3fore
he signed it, the witness stated that after his bro-
ther fired he heard footsteps on the stairs, and they
appeared to be those of 3 or 4 persons, who had
something on their shoes. After he and his brother
ha-1 been into his father's room, his brother gave
him the gun, and he discharged both b irrels at the
back door. Previously to this he had been to his
mother's and sister's rooms and told them that hie
father was dead. All this occupiedabout a quarter 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
morning, and he (Thomas) atferwards saw the dead
bird in the kitchen.
Jessy Eat lam—l am the wife of Edward Earlam,
a farmer of Woodford, and daughter of the de-
ceased, at whose house at Bramal 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 mother came to bed. I was awoke about two
o'clock the next morning by the report of fire-arm,.
Immediately afterwards my brother James opened
his door and shouted, but I am not sure whether
he fired ; I think he did. Between the first and
stcond. 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 heard
foot teps going down the stain.
This ;was the last ai itness examined, and the
coroner adjourned the inquiry to Tuesday next.

LOU AND MARRIAGE.—It would be well did experi-
ence justify as in saying, " ence 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 of j set'
cf his choice when a lover, we still believe and hope the
cases are rare in which any min, 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 avails I
themselves of this privilege, again re-sntering into those
bonds with their first partners from which they had one.
so eagerly sought to be released.

[The following_ appeared in a portion of our impression

THE ALLEGED LIBEL ON THE LOUD Tl/2. TAYC.R ELECT (SIR
R. W. CARDEN).—Mr. Thomas Plant Rose, deputy

bridgemaster, and connected with the Fell)wship of
Porters 102, Cex's-terrace, Lower-road, Thrrnondsey,
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. Toe 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-plact), for the defendant.
Mr. Ilueephreys said that Slr R. Carden appeared be-
re his lordship to compl tin of the defendant's conduct
relative to the 1 ate election of Lori Mayor, under a sta-
tute that made it an offence fur any one to (directly cr
indirectly) attempt what was charged against she defen-
dant. The learned gentlemau having detailed the facts
he should prove, said that no other construction could
be put upon the defendant's con lust than that stated in
the Huma:ma, because no opposition was offered by the
Livery to the election of the alderman. He 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 la,4t week (Wednesday or Thurday) the defendant
calied 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 pubicans or victualler.; for that purp lse. 4,000/
or 5,0001. was subscribed, and he was certain that a poll
would he demanded and Sir R. 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 he communicated what had passed
between them to Sir R. Carden.

By Mr. Lewis—The conversation on the subject arose
from his asking Mr. Ro,c 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 savv 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 he opp ,sed.
Detendant replied be thought so, as 1.500/. had been
subscribed by the publicans or licensed victualler, and
that it would take 1,6001. to beat it, but Sir Robert did
not feel disposed to meet it. Defendant expresse I
sorrow at such being the case, because Sir Robert Wfti
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, inconsequence, what followed took place.
He had had conversations with others as to the sup-
posed opposition to Sir Robert ; he heard it frequently
mentioned, but he did ❑ot 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 shoul 1 only
be called on to meet the charge specified in the sum►nons
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 Hiles contiened —Rose said there wouli be
an opposition unless an arrangement was made with him.
He said 2,0001. had been subscribed, and alluded to
the licensed victuallers, who he said were very angry at
Sir Robert's conduct. Witness afterwards c)intnani-
cated the conversation to S r Robert.

By Mr. Lewis—Hs had n) previous communication
with Alderman Carden bef xis ho saw Mr. Rose. Wit-
ness commenced the conversation partly from ingesi-
tive Inntives 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 11.,bort's. He saw ST R. Car len about

ttlihrinoke

conducted the oppositions.
Mr. Deputy Kebble depo7ed that he saw the defend-
ant previously t) the 21. st September. Defendant called
on him and said that he had co,no to know if anything
was likely to be done, and that he supposed witness
knew the object of his visit Witness suspected what it
was, and replied that he had nothing to say to him,
because he had not seen Sir It Carden, but that he was
to see him at half past 10 o'clock that day,
and if he would call on him (witness) at 12 o'clock he
atm that

say to him then, but that he should see Sir R. Carden
nothing

called
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 22,1, when witness tol I him he was not
in a position to say any thing to him, but that he might be.
At the first interview defendant produced a MS. paper,
which he stated had been sent to a printer by a publican
of high standing. He had calved 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 fur 20 years, he
said to him, "if you don't show it to me you shall never
print another line fir 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 real the paper.
Mr. Humphreys a,ked 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 had read was
similar to the first part of the placard produeed, 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 infostned him that "Sir Robert Carder
t.ould do nothing ;" on that defendant pulled 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." fie
communicated the conversation to Sir Robert.
By Mr. Lewis—No sums of money were Dien-
tioned—except some reduced sums that were scat-
tired in the hands of I:ceused victuallers, who
had subscribed towards an opposition. One he said
resided at I:lington, and another elsewhere,
but
witness did not recollect them, because he paid no atten-
tion to it, considering it a little bombast on the aleten'
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 ;,he d&-
fondant. Before he saw him defendant said to manure
at the fist interview that he had been sent to him by
Mr. Millard. He had a conversation wi h Sir
R. Carden relative to the engagemet tf
Rose as an election agent before he had an interview
with him ; Mr. Millard was present with witness and
Sir R. Carden, and th-y urged on Sr it shot that he
should be employed, to prevent trouble and expen.e.
Mr. Lewis—What was lie to ha employed is do ?
Witness—to pick this hall.
Mr. Lewis—With what?
Witness—With long-shore men.
Mr. Lewis—What erere they to be paiil,,,and was he
to have any remuneration for his services?
NVitness—Oar proposition went to that extant, but I
believe no sum was named.

Mr. Lewis—May I take itthat Sirß. Carden concurred
with you and Mr. Millard on the propriety of packing
the hall with long shore-men ?
Witness—Quite the rever,e. It was not afterwards
arranged by him and Mr. Millard, in the presence of Sir
R. Carden, to send fir. Mr. R sae. Wituass hal only
one interview with Mr. Mill ird on this subject. After
the first interview with the defendant witness appointed
the subsequent ones. Witness never saw Mr. Millard
afterwards on the matter. Ile did not see what was on
the paper R)se produced at the last interview.
Mr. Lewis—Why did you tell Mr. Rose to come to
you on three successive occasions ?

Witness—ToaTlmight in the meantime communicate
with Sir R. Carden.
Mr. Lewis—Did you not state to the defendant that
you bad the wnole management of the el,ction ?
Wi',-.ness—l can't recollect it I went so far as that.
Mr. Lewis—Had you flat) management of the elec-
tion ? •

Witnegg—l thought P.o, but it afterwards turned
out j bad not.

Mr. Le When did you discovor that I
Witness—When I thoug!it mysill and Mr. Millard
had wrung from Sir Robert a reluctant
complianca with
what we wished to cirry out. On Monday, 21st Sept ,
witness called on Sir R. Carden, by appointment, when
he repudiated the idea that he had given witness any
authority ti enter into an arrangement with Mr. Rm.
Iu my first interview with the defendant he told him that
he thought he Lad carte blanche from Sir R. Carden,
but that he then foun 1 he was mistaken.
Mr. Lewis—Now, front the first to the last, did you
not t•eek the interview with Mr. Rase?

Witness—No, he sought tne.
Mr. Lewis—Wa.4 it your proposition, as deputy of
the ward, that the hill should be packed
Witness—Yes ; Sir Robert Carden was
thriAtened with an oppoiiti
Mr. Lewis—Then the objet was to fill the hall with
men to keep out the voters
Witness-.No ; because they are voters, and are paid
for voting,
Mr. Lewis—Theu to have the voters all on ont; fide ?
Witness—Yes.

Mr. Lewis at this stage (three o'clock) asked for an
adjournment, on L.coeunt of his being compelle,l to leave
the court.

Mr. Humphreys resisted the application.

Mr. L3wis said such a course was usual, and he ap-
pealed to Sir R. Carden not to proceed with the case in
his absence.

Sir It. Carden—l have nothing to do with the case.
I leave it in the hands of my solicitor.
Mr. Humphreys—l shall not allow you to interfere
with me :in- conducting the case. If any odium arises
from this proceeding let it rest entirely on me.
Inspector Mitchell was then called, and proved tLe

posting of the bills in question on the walls' of the
Gui!dhall.

After some other evidence of a formal character,

Thomas Wicking, !Al-sticker, said that he obtained
the placards from a gentleman in Guildhall-yard, between
seven and eight o'clock at night on Tuesday, the 22d.
He met the gentleman by appointment.
Mr. Humphreys—Who was the gentleman who gave
you the bills ?

Witness—l can't swear to him ;he was a stmtish
man.

Flumphrays—DJ you sea him in court ?
Witness—lf 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. Rose, 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-
eiratts he should name the sum, but as ha appeared un-
willing to do so, I asked him if 1001. to cover all the
txpen.es of the poll wool I be a sufficient remuneration,
with the addition of 50/. in the event of Sir It. 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 It. CArden. I told him then that I
had nothing further to do in it, and I sent him to Mr.
Deputy Bebble ; 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 loubt Mr. Lewis would ask him on the
next examination.

The further examination of Mr. Millard was then
del erred.
Alderman Sir R. Carden was then called and sworn
He deposed that he never authorised or even thought of
the defendant being employed in refer -nee to his election
for Lord Mayor ; he was the next Alderman in rotation
for the civic chair.

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