MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, DEC. 2.

In a case of perjury, of na public interest, a.ques-
tion arose between Counsel as to the admission of
oral evidence as to the contents of a deposition on
which the perjury was assigned.
Mr. BOLLAND and Mr. ALLEY contended that it
was inadmissible; and

Mr. PRENPERGAST contended the contrary.
The CTIAIR3IO decided it was inadmissible.
Mr. PRENDERGAST, however, refused to acquiesce,
and repeated his arguments.
The Outwits. again decided against him.
Mr. PRENDERGAST—Then am I to understand
that is your judgment, Sir ?
The CHAIRMAN—It is.
Mr. PRENow.4.44sT—You cannot, Sir, have so
decided.

The Ch AIRMAN-But I have, Sir, so decided.
.._

Mr. PRENDERGAST—YOU cannot have understood
the 9nestion, or you would not so have decided.
CHAinipi who had hitherto replied to Mr.
Prendergast with his usual mildness 4nd snavity of
manner, now rose, and with some energy said, " I
tell you yes; it is my decision."
Mr. PRENDERGAST—Then, Sir, before you de-
cide Ilpir or? be allowed to repeat my observations.
de-
cide,
CHAIRMAN littenteci to Stop Mr. Prender-
gast, but his voice was completely drowned Ity that
of the learned counsel, and the Chairman actually
stood for more than a minute with his arm out-
4retfAcd, and in an attitude to speak, but without
a possibii4y c,f 4ein2; heard from the vehemence of
Mr. Prendergast's manner.
Mr. IttwuNsoN. loudly called to Mr. Prender-
gust, and demanded of him whether he would not
prmit the. Chairman to be heard.
Mr. iIIEVHEEAST paused, but in the mean time
the Chairman had thrown l;imself back into his seat.

Mr. ALLEY rose, and begged the Court to 4ssert
its dignity.
CILURMAN made no reply, and
Mr. P.RT,Nitzu.c4,7 resumed, and'eon tinned speak-
ing some minutes.

-The CitAtamAN, on his concluding again, repoat-
ed his former opinion.
?.,!;-, PRENDERGAST, however, still declined acqui-
escing in the 4c:cision, and the discussion was kept
up till a clerk, who had hegn devAtched for the
deposition had arrived in the Court with it.

Mr. PRENDERGAST now claimed to give evidence
on the depKition.
The CHAIRMAN appparcd astonished—" More
unfair conduct," he said, " I never witqcssed. I can
now account for that which before I could not ac-
count for with decency." .•
11:fr. Prtf.spwi4sT (turning to the Bench) said,
" If a gentleman of my own station attacks me, I
know how to defend myself ; but against the
Chairman of 07. g Onirt I have no reply."
The CHAIRMAN—Ves you can, by explaining
your conduct.-
Mr. PRENDERGAST—If am allowed to reply, I
must Fay my conduct is not unfair.
The CIIAIRMAti took no direct- notice of the an-
swer; but observed, that businep was conducted
there in a strange manner. An alteration must be
made, as he found that all his attempts to in-
dulg,e and eccommodate only led to increased irre-
gularities,
The case then proceeded, and ended itt the de.
fpgdgnt being acquitted.

AWFUL LESSON TO giVE4lq44.—A. few
days ago, William Green, an old pensioner, who wa much
in the habit of violent swearing, was suddenly struck dead
in the New Town street, in Bridgnorth. He had only left
his house a few minutes before he was carried back a corpse.
