Re-examined by Mr. JAMES-2-411—m I fetched the colt,

,00k him to Mr. Goodman's stables.

James Wilson Feari,7;;;T;Tby Mr. COCKBURN—I am
a livery-stable keeper, carrying on business in Milton-street.
Dorset-square. I remember, in January, 1843, a man bring-
ing a bay colt of Mr. Goodman's to my stables. I saw
him two or three times every day. I saw him at
Mr. Bean's six weeks after he left my stables, in a pad-
dock. I knew him to be the same colt. I never saw him
afterwards, till I saw him at Epsom. To the best of my
belief he was the same horse, but I could not swear that he
was.

Cross- examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL---Mr. Bean's
paddock adjoins the road.
__ _

Wm. Bean examined by Mr. JA3nts—l lived at FinchJey
in January, 1842 ; was applied to by Mr-Goodman to allow
a colt of his to run in my paddock ; ft was inlanuary, 1842 ;
I drove one of my men up to Mr. Pearl's to fetch
him ; he brought him to my paddock, where he re-
mained till the 24th of September. [The witness
here handed to counsel an order for the delivery of the horse.]
Whilst in the paddock, he hurt himself in trying to get into
an adjoining field; he knocked some hairs off between the
knee and the arm ; the skin was also broken. After the colt
was taken away in September, 1842, I saw him at New-
market; it was in 1843. I believed it to be the same colt;

it was my firm belief that it was so. I saw a, colt at Epsom,
which I believe to be the same that ran at Newmarket. I did not
myself deliver the colt to the man that brought the order for
its delivery; I ordered one of my men to do so; I had no
other colt on my premises at that time.
Cross-examined by the SOLICITOR- GENERAL—I deal in
horses, and have done so for thirty years. lamby no means
prosperous in business. I have been bankrupttwice and insol-
vent twice. On my first bankruptcy I did not pay any
dividend. I don't know whether any dividend was paid in
the second bankruptcy. I gave a satisfactory account on
my insolvency. Mr. Hammond was one of my assignees.
I know him well. I don't remember applying to him once
to lend me 751. upon an order of a person of the name of
Allen. I don't remember Mr. Hammond discovering that
the money had been paid to me. I have not the least recol-
lection of the transaction.

The JUDGE—You don't recollect whether 3,0 u cheated a
man of 751. or not?—(Laughter.) Witness—l have no re-
collection of anything of the kind.
By the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I do not recollect Mr. Allen's
dealing with me at all. I remember a person of the name of
Kingscote. I do not recollect representing to Mr.'Hammond,
that Mr. Kingscote had left town without paying me for a
horse I had sold him, and that he would return in a day or Ave.
I swear that I never borrowed money of Mr. Hammond on
such a representation. I have no recollection_ of anything, of
the kind having. occurred.
The JUDGE—I suppose I might venture to ask you whether
you ever committed murder, perhaps you have no recolldc-
tion of it?--(Laughter.) Witness—No, my Lord.
By the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I was in the habit of taking
in horses at Finchley. Sanders was in my service ; so also
was Fanny Page, Mrs. Humphreys, a person called Will
York (I don't know his real name) and several persons
whose names .I cannot recollect. The man whom I went
with to fetch the colt, was Henry Sanders. Fanny slept in a
room near the.box where the horse was put, but she is not
here. I met the person who came for the colt at the gate;
there were two men there together. Mr.-Masson is a next
door neighbour of mine at Finchley. Fanny came into
my service two or three times. I do not recollect
her leaving me and marrying. I cannot say whether
Fanny was at Finchley down to the month of February
1843.

Re-examined, by Mr. CocK,BußN—The box which the horse
was in was detached from the house. Fanny's window would
look over it.

The case was still proceeding when we went to press, and
is expected to last at least another day, and probably two.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.

OLD COURT.

The sessions at the Old Bailey were opened this morning
by Mr. Alderman Farebrother, Alderman Sir C. Marshall,
the Sheriffs, and other civic authorities.
The Grand Jury having been sworn,
The CommoN SERGEANT briefly addressed them as to
the nature of their duties. He said, the cases in the calendar
were of an ordinary description, and idvolved no point of
dfficulty. There was one case which, perhaps, would re-
quire more than ordinary attention, and that was the case of
a man, who was charged with pushing a constable into a
canal, with intent to drown him. By the Ist Victoria, the
act of pushing a person into the water was made a felony.
There was no other point in the calendar which required
comment from him ; and he would, therefore,. remit theni to
their duties.
