the newspar.er on the first day, I arid the other servants
used to read it down stairs. John and I have held the
newspaper whilst Sir Gregory ul it. The newspaper
always came wet, and it was whilst he refused to elialee
Inincls wish people that lie would not read the newspa-
per wet. When Lady Tuener came Sir Gregory was
completely altered in many respect:. lie did not dress
more for dinner when her Ladyship came thn he did
in "sore. The morning after the night on which he
came home drank he got up at his usual time and
breakfaated.
Mrs. Francis Freeman—l entered the service of Lady
Turner as lady's maid in the autumn of 1839. I accom-
panied La ly Turner to the house in the Alpha-road,
where, for the first time, I saw Sir Gregory. At that
time Rook and Barton were living in the house. During
the time I remained there I saw Sir Gregory daily.
Sometimes when lie wanted a holiday, and was granted
that, he would pat Rook on the shoulder, and say,
he was a good fellow. I have heard him use violent
language to both those men. His habits were different
• from those of other gentlemen; for instance, he always
took hold of the skirt of his coat with which to open
doors, one of his trousers legs was always turned up
when he came down of a morning, and his trousers
pockets were very much filled with papers.
Ann Walker—l am in the service of Mrs. Fryer as
lady's maid, and was with her i.,ten she lived at
Cheltenham. I remember also living with
Lady Turner in the Alpha-road, for about three
months, where I had opportunities of seeing
Sir Greg ory. I have frequently made his Led.
His clothes were in the bed. 1 slept in Ll.° adjoining
room to Sir Gregory's. Twice I got up one night, and
three times another. He called nn, up to have his hand-
kerchief tied round his head. He used to disturb me
very much by talking loudly, and I got no
sleep at nights.—(This witness corroborated the pre-
ceding witnesses as to Sir Gregory's dislike to his bed
clothes falling on the floor, and to his being shaved.)
His peculiarities continued down to the time I left, is
June, 1841.
Cross-examined by Mr. CIIAMBERS-I have lived
twelve or thirteen years with Mr. and Mrs. Fryer.
Elizabeth Butlin—l am a widow, keeping the George
Inn, at Luton, Bedfordshire. In July, 1841, Sir Gre-
gory Turner and a largo party came to my house.
William Paxton was ono of them. They remained
there about a fortnight. One Sunday whilst they
were there Sir Gregory was seized with an
epileptic fit of a very violent kitid. Dr. Wal-
ler (now dead), a resident medical man, was
sent for and came. Tho fit lasted full half an hour, and
he suffered very severely. I saw him after the fit passed
away; he was then taken to his bed-room. After
the fit was over his countenance was very much
affected, as was also his speech. The whole
party left my house on the Tuesday after this occurrence.
Before the fit occurred Sir Gregory did not give any or-
ders at the inn like any other gentleman. Lady Turner
and the party treated him as if he was not competent to
manage his own affairs, nor did I think he was. Every-
thing was done for hirn. The waitress who attended the
party was now married and had gone into Scotland.
(The case was proceeding when our report left.)

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, stWestminster, before the LORD
CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.)
CRAWFORD V. COCKS, AND OTHERS.
Sir Frederic Thesiger appeared for the plaintiff, and
Mr. Watson and Mr. Lush for the defendants.
The action was brought by the plaintiff, a gentleman
possessed of large estates i❑ Scotland, against Messrs.
Cocks and Biddulph, the bankers, to recover the sum of
103. Gd., the arnouut of several payments which he
alleged had been made out of his private account to a
person named Caulfield, without his authority. The
matter in dispute arose on some executory transactions
as far back as January, 1839, while the plaintiff was
absent abroad, and the action had been delayed to the
present time to enable the plaintiff to pay off a mortgage,
which the defendants had on his estates, and which they
threatened to use as a set-off against his claim.
At the conclusion of the opening statement of Sir
Frederick '1 hesiger,
Mr. Reginald Cocks, a member of the banking firm,
was called, and he stated that two of the defendants had
become connected with the firm since 1841, and that one
of the old partners had died.
The CHIEF BARON said it was his opinion that the two
new partners could not legally be made responsible for
transactions which had happened long before their con-
nexion with the bank, and they ought not to have been
included among the defendants in the action. Ho
should, therefore, direct the plaintiff to be nonsuited.
Nonsuited accordingly.
