DUBLIN, June 25.
The trial of the action of " Harris v. Bagot"
proceeds more rapidly than upon the last occasion,
and continues to attract a large share of public
attention. Mr. Macdonogh, Q.C., who is ably
conducting the case for the defendant, resumed his
cross-examination of Mr. Sidney yesterday. The
folloviag were the chief points of the evidence.
Early in 183 i the witness owed £7,000 or £B,OOO.
The defendant knew that he was deeply embar-
rassed, and accepted some bills for him. Either in
the spring or summer of that year he gave the wit-
ness the general authority, as he alleged, during an
interview in his garden. The defendant had pre-
viously stated that he would go security for £3,000,
and when he gave the authority witness understood
that it was limited to £3,000 ; but no amount was
mentioned. A number of letters were put into the
witness's hands, and among them one with the date
written upon it, 15th of August, 1865. He swore
that the " 15th of August" was in his handwriting,
but warmly insisted that the " 1863 " had been put
to it since the last trial, and he protested against
being held responsible for the figures. When writing
the defendant's name on bills the witness imitated
his handwriting as closely as possible. He wrote
one of the two bills now sued on in Charles Bagot's
presence. He simulated the defendant's handwriting.
If the words " per pro " were on the Lills that would
have given notice to the world. Before he went to
London he wrote to a ftiendlo take lodgings for him
for a mouth. During the bedroom scene between
Mrs. Hinds and her son, in which she insisted
that he should disown the bills, the witnes.q listened
at the dobr, and looked through the keyhole. Ile
afterwards made a memorandum of the transaction,
and showed it to the defendant and others. Ile did
not say at the last trial that he had made memo-
randa. Ile was not asked the question then. He
had written Hinds's name for about £1,600 on bills,
and the defendant's name up to £2,578 before he
went away. Ia February, 1866, he had a pistol,
which he had purchased two years before, and said
he felt inclined to commit suicide in consequence
of an offensive letter which he had received from
Charles Bagot about money. One of the bills he
had put Hinds's name on (Granly's) was coming
due on the Saturday before he left the country.
He note the name " Henry Hinds" on that bill,
but the words " New Grove, Granard," were not
in his handwriting, and were not on it when he
passed it to Harris. He wrote the name of James
Blake, his nephew, on bills for £BOO. Hinds him-
self accepted three bills for him. He did not burn
any of defendant's bills in Hinds's presence.
There was no discussion as to the bills being.

forgeries until it was said that Hinds so stated,
but he never stated so to witness. Hinds told
his mother in the bedroom scene that he never
signed bills for the witness, but his sister contra-
dicted him. Witness went to Ryan, the detective
police-officer, and asked how a warrant for arrest
for felony would be executed in England. His ob-

ject was to hear if there was a warrant for his own
arrest. Ryan explained to him in answer to the
question, and he then knew that there was no
warrant out against him, and that Bernard Bagot
was stating what was false. He signed about 70
bills in the defendant's name between May, 1865,
and August, 1866, about a dozen iu Hind's name be-
tween March and August, 1866, and about the same
number in James Blake's name. He never admitted

in the presenceof Mrs. C. Bagot, Bernard Bagot, or
thedefendant, that he had committed a forgery. The
" death warrant" letter, dated the 19th of August,
1866 (stating that defendant's bills were forgeries),
was all in his handwriting. He copied that letter,
.and Bernard and he posted it. Bernard dropped it
into the post along with another which he forced
the witness to write to James Blake to the same
effect. Witness wrote letters to the postmaster at
Ballymoe by Bernard's desire, and would not swear
that he did not post it in London, but thought he

left it with his servant to post. On that Sunday
Charles Bagot showed him a policeman, and he
thought that Henry Hinds was in earnest. On
Saturday night Bernard got into a passion, and said

that the witness should write the letter to John,
and on his refusing to do so took up his hat and
ran to the door, saying he would bring in a police-
man and hand the witness over to him. At last
Bernard yielded, and said he would." let him off"
that night if he promised to go to Bargen next day.
He had been living on port wine since the previous
Tuesday. He had hardly eaten anything, and
drank about two bottles of port each day. His
clothes had not been off from four o'clock on Wed-
nesday morning until he went away on Sunday
evening. On re-examination Mr. Butt, Q.C.,

sought to prove that Bernard Bagot used threats
to the witness on Friday evening to make him write
the letter, and also that the witness corresponded
with Charles Bagot after he went to London. Mr.
M'Donogh objected to the production of the letters,
and the Court rejected them. Mr. Daniel Collins,
one of the defendant's attorneys, was called for the
plaintiff to prove that he made copies of letters
in the house of Mr. Wilson, the defendant's junior
counsel, and Mr. Butt complained that informa-

ion had been extracted from strictly private

letters which Mr. Sidney had been obliged to fur-
nish to the benchers. Mr. Findlater and Mr.
Bloomfield, solicitors, were examined in corrobora-
tion of Sidney's evidence as to the conversation
about his affairs. Mr. Butt then applied to have
Mr. Wilson examined. That gentleman expressed
his willingness, but asked for liberty to consult his
senior counsel. Mr. Macdonogh, after consulta-
tion, said that, although the course was unprece-
dented, yet, jealous for the honour of the Bar, and

lest the interests of his client should suffer, he ad-
vised Mr. Wilson to tender himself for examination.
Mr. Wilson accordingly entered the witness-box,
and deposed that he got the book of letters from a
solicitor, to make such extracts as he thought fit,
and, after consulting Mr. Heron, Q.C., he made use
of it. He was pressed to tell who the attorney
was, and declined to do so until required by the
Court. He then stated that he got the book from
Mr. Thomas M'Kenna. The trial was again ad-
journed. On the last occasion also a witness was
called from among the defendant's senior counsel.

Evening.
In the bead police-office to-day Mr. Curran ad-
dressed the magistrates for the defendants. Con-
stable 82 E was examined, and contradicted the
evidence given by the military. lie swore that
Ruddock did not assault Colonel Stanley ; that he
and Ruddock gave their numbers when asked; and
that he was violently assaulted and his watch
snatched from him in the barracks. On cross-
examination, he admitted that he bad been reduced
from the rank of acting sergeant, but denied that
he was violent in the barracks and used the lan-
guage deposed to. After other witnesses were
examined, the magistrates suggested that the case
ought to be settles, and it was adjourned until
to-morrow to afford an oprortunity for consulta-
tion.

LYCEUM THEATRE.—Mr. L. G. Lewis, the
obliging acting box book-keeper, takes his benefit at this
house to-night. From the large amount of patronage
bestowed on the Japanese troupe now performing here,
combined with the courtesy always displayed by Mr.
Lewis, we doubt not but that a bumping house will be the
result.
ADVERTISEMENT.] —Rollo way's Pills. -Medicine for the
Suunner.—Diseases latent in the system throughout the
spring will manifest themselves on the approach of warmer
weather unless the blood be freed from impurities and the
body generally from noxious Matters. Holloway's pills
have long since established the highest reputation for the
full and efficient manner in which they accomplish this
purifying purpose. These excellent pills search every
organ, pervade every tissue, and successfully grapple with
all deleterious substances, either by neutralising them or
extruding them. Holloway's medicine promotes comfort,
cheerfulness health, and strength. The medicine is ad-
mirably adapted for the weak and delicate, whose frames
are relaxed, whose nerves are unstrung, and whose diges-
tions are upset alike by spring's variations and summer's
„heat.

The decision of the committee appointed to try the pets-;
tion against the return of Mr. J. W. Miles, the Conserva•
tire candidate, for the seat rendered vacant by the
resignation of Sir Morton Peto, was awaited with great
interest in Bristol. From one o'clock, at which hour it
was supposed the result of the deliberations of the commits
tee would be made known, large crowds assembled infront of
the Commercial Rooms and thevarious newspaper offices in
anxious expe station of the telegram which would decide
whether the petitioners had succeeded or failed in making
out their case. The general impression among legal men
appeared to be that, although there was abundant evidence
of bribery, the necessary proof of such undue practices
had not been made as regarded the recognised agents
of the sitting member. Politicians of all shades ad-
mitted that the exhibition made by Dr. Robertson
and Mr. N. Alsop, two of the witnesses called on behalf
of Mr. Miles, was anything but creditable, and it was
stated that the petitioners might have strengthened their
case had they ventured to call Mr. D. Parsley, whose
name was mixed up with many of the transactions which
formed the subject of complaint by the Liberals, and
who, having been served by them with a Speaker's war.
rant, was in attendance, and ready to be examined.
About 2.45 p.m. a telegram was received at the Commer-
cial Rooms with the intelligence that Mr. Miles was
unseated. The announcement was treated with mingled
cheers and hisses by the large number of Liberals and
Conservatives who were present. The Liberals, who
were satisfied with one member for nearly two years
during the financial embarrassments of Sir Morton
Peto, can hardly wish to have a contest for a
seat the occupancy of which would not exceed a month,
and the Conservatives profess the desire that the next
appeal should be made to the enlarged constituency under
the Reform Bill of 1867. Mr. Miles and his opponent at
the late election, Mr. S. Morley, are now both placed in
the unfortunate position of members who have lost their
seats—the one for Bristol and the other for Nottingham--y
through the indiscreet zeal of their agents. The Liberal
Association held a meeting on Thursday evening, at wkich
it was to be proposed that Mr. Morley should be brought
forward as a candidate in the event of a writ being issued.
Mr. Morley has already issued an address to the electors.
After stating that the committee have declared the recent
election to be void, he again offers himself as a candidate
for the representation of the city. He has little to add,
and nothing to withdraw, in the statements which he has,
so recently made of hi, political principles.
