stranger, whatever his appearance, to be in that
court without everybody coming out to see him.
Mr. Arnold—Let me understand exactly what
you propose to prove step by step.
Mr. Hutchinson—Firstly, that Saunders has
falsely sworn that he saw the deed done, for that he
was not in the court at all ; and that five persons,
all worthy of credit, will swear.
Mr. Arnold—Again, the two witnesses who were
called upon the trial will swear that he was. Pray
understand me, in a case of life and death like the
present I am most anxious that the fullest and
fairest investigation should be given to the matter
on behalf of the accused; but at the same time I
must observe that only in common justice to the
witness against whom you ate now applying, I
should be exceedingly sorry to cast the imputat;ion
of perjury upon him unless I saw my way vi> ry
clearly. And Ido not think that a jury, with tile
conflict of evidence before them about his not boil ag
in the court, would convict him on that ground.
Mr. Hutchinson My other point is, th; it
Saunders falsely swore before the coroner—and I
have the foreman and four others of the jury to,
prove it—that ho remained at the end of the icourt
till the man was brought out ; that he had IT a re-
freshment ; never went into any refreshment In >use ;
in all of which I will prove he has sworn false ly.
Mr. Arnold—The foreman and jury may speak to
the best of their recollection, but their memory is
not to be relied upon for precise words which may
be very material—like depositions or notes. If t' .ere
was perjury committed upon the trial would it .not
be better to apply to the Judge at Chambers ?
Mr. Hutchinson -- I understand Mr. Just ice
Byles is out of town. I understand that this
is my proper course. Permit me to point out
how very material his statement is, of remaining at
the top of the court, because it is by that he
fixes the identity of the person he saw brought out ;
he was, in truth and in fact, in the pie-shop, and
had not the same opportunity of seeing, although
he went outside with Mrs. Crowe, as though he
had been where he declared.

Mr. Arnold—lt is not material as to seeing the
blow struck, as it had been struck before he went it i.
Mr. Hutchinson—The matter is discussed over
his pudding, and he makes a declaration to 11,1 rs.
Crowe that he bad heard of it, when, if ho is
to be believed, he has seen it. Wo always thought
from the beginning that he never saw the
occurrence, but that he heard of it ; that while li Bak-
ing to a friend the next day he boasted about sen eing
it, was unwillingly brought forward by that fir.iend
to this court, and was then obliged to stand b, s • his
declaration. Maloney now, as before you, ',most
strenuously denies his guilt ; his condemnation, rests
upon the contradicted evidence of Saunders. Re-
member, sir, how strong the evidence was in
Hatch's case, remember what was the result, and.
this is precisely similar.
Mr. Arnold—There was certainly this differot ice,
that the judge ordered the proceedings in Ha t4-_,th's
favour, and that he was suffering his punishin ent
when they were taken. You cannot try this per-
jury before the law should take its effect upon,tho
convict.

Mr. Hutchinson—lf I am successful, as I hope I
shall be, in this application to you, and you gri int
process against Saunders for pel jury, there we ald
be an immediate reprieve while nis truth was be-
ing tested.

Mr. Arnold—This is of course a very serious en se,
and I should wish informations on oath in writing
of all the assignments of perjury ; it is butter titan
viva voce testimony. I shall then see how far the
facts go, how far they are contradicted; and if so,
whether material. In an important matter of ads
description that course would be more satisfactory.
Mr. Hutchinson undertook to supply the infor-
mations as directed, for the worthy magistrate to
give the matter his most careful consideration.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYNE—Ocr. 7.
At this corn market there was a tolerable show of wheat,
which met a healthy demand ; prices rather improved om
the previous week—white making 56s to 638,1 red 48s
to 578. The demand for barley was middling, and the,
same in value. Oats were in small show, with a slow^
sale, from 24s to 30s per 24 stone. Beans met with
firm sale, from 48s to 50s per qr.
