Cross-examined by the
accustomed to horses since I was thirteen years of age ;
now seven-and-twenty. Mr. Goodman told me, at New-
market, to buy the colt. He told me to buy him a foal or
two, if they were cheap. He gave me no description of the
toal he wanted either verbally or in writing. He sent me a
letter when he paid me, but did not aek for any description
of the foal which I had bought; I am quite certain that I
had no instructions either verbally or in writing as to the
sort of foal that Mr. Goodman wanted. The white hairs in
the forehead were together. At the time I bought the colt,
he was a shabby-looking animal; but he had large limbs.
The pasterns were not long; the off-fore foot did not turn
out more than that of most horses. I should say it did not
turn out at all. _ _

Re-examined by Mr. JAMES—It did not turn out so as to
attract my notice. At the time I bought the foal, Mr. Good-
man was running several horses; I had two of his horses at
that time. _ _

Wm. Wiles examined by Mr. JA3tEs—ln 1841 I was the
servant of Mr. Henry Stebbing. I went to Mr. Cobb's re-
specting a foal; it was a bay foal, without any white except
a few white hairs on the forehead. The legs were all black.
I paid for it, and directed it to be sent to Mr. King's. The
last time I saw it was at Mr. King's.
His Loßpstitt, here inquired if the horse could be seen by
himself and the Jury?
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said they had applied fur per-
mission to see it and had been refused.

Mr.CocKnuns said he would inform his Lordship presently
under what circumstances.

His LORDSHIP said h• should like to see the horse, and he
thought the jury would also. He was quite sure the verdict
would be set aside if the horse were not seen.

Mr. COCKBURN said if his. Lordship's order had been pro-
perly used there would have been no obstacle.
His LORDSIIIP said Whatever use might have been made of
the order, he was sure it would be worse for the parties if
it were not seen now. _ _ _

.. -
Mr. COCKBURN had not the slightest objection to his Lord-
ship and the jury seeing the horse.
Robert Spanton examined by Mr. COCKBURN—In the year
1841 1 was in the service of Mr. King, the training-groom, at
Melton. In the month of December, 1841, I fetched away a
foal, and brought it to Mr. King's; it remained in the stable
about six weeks, and was afterwards turned out on Mr.
King's paddock. I attended to it during the whole time; it
was a bay colt with blacklegs; there was no white about the
legs, but there was a little about the forehead; it did not
amount to what -we call a star. The heels were cracked very
much. The ears were rather wide.
Cross-examined by the Soycrron-GEDIERAL—The hind-
heels were cracked., It is a very common thing for a horse to
have cracked heels.

John Andrewi, e4aniined by Mr. •Jamas--My brother is.a
training-groom, at Hiinbledon. I reside with him. In
January, 1842, I was at York. I came from Thirsk with
him to meet the foal. I came up to LondOn
by a train, which conveyed a foal. I brought
him to Eusten-square station. It was dark when I arrived in
London. The foal was met either by a man or a lad. I saw
him next morning, at Mr. Goodman's stables in Foley-place.
He was of a bay colour. Some would have entered him bas
or brown, his legs were black. lam not aware that he had
any, white about him. • After seeing him at Mr. Goodman's
stables I never saw him again except at Newmarket. I cannot
swear that the horse I saw" at Newmarket was Mr. Good-
man's colt, but it was just such a horse as the colt seemed
likely to become.
John Andrews re-examined by Mr. JAMES—In December
1841 I was in the service of Mr. Fowlis, attending his
hunters at Cobb's.

Daniel White, examined by Mr. JAMESS—I am-in the ser-
vice of Mrs. Allen in Albemarle-street. In 1842, I was at
Mr. Joseph's livery-stables, in Foley-place. I went to the
Euston- square station for a foal in January, 1842, which I
got on arriving there, Mid took to Mr. Goodman's stables. I
remained there two nights.' I took him every afternoon to
Mr. Pearl's in Milton-street, Dorset-square, and left him
there. I saw him after Wards in the September of that year,
at Mr. Bean's at Finchley. I went to fetch him for Mr.
Goodman. I took him to Mr. Goodman's house first, and
from there to Mr. Haynes's livery stables in Langham-
place, where, according to Mr. Goodman's order, I left him.
Cross-examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I lived with
Mr. Josephs, whose stables were used by Mr. Goodman at
different times. I cannot say how long the colt remained at
Pearl's. George White attended to the colt in Mr. Good-
man's stables. I met hirn about two months since near
Foley-place, and he said he was going to a situation at Paris.
Re-examined by Mr. JAmEs—When I fetched the colt, I
took him to Mr. Goodman's stables.
James Wilson Pearl; examined by Mr. CocKntmN—l am
a liyery-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 Soucrrou-GENERAL—Mr. Bean's
paddock adjoins the road.
Wm. Bean examined by Mr. JAMES—I lived at Finchley
in January, 1842 ; 'was applied to by Mr. Goodman to allow
a colt of his to run in my paddock ; ft was in January, 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 nrdered one of my men to do so; I had no
other colt on my premises at-that time.
Cross-examined by the Soucrron- GENERAL—I deal in
horses, and have done so forthirty years. lamby no means
prosperous in business:- I have been bankrupt twice and insol-
vent twice. On my first bankruptcy 1 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 75/. 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 you cheated a
man of 75/. 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 two.
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 recollec-
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. CoeßnuEN—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
it 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 involved 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 them to
their duties.
The Court then proceeded to swear the common jury.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)

Thomas Riley, a middle aged man of decent appearance,
was charged (as entered on the police sheet) " with attempt-
ing and endangering the life of his wife, by throwing her out
of the second-floor window of the house, No. 4, Dolphin-
court, Oxford-street."
ThomasW ills, police-sergeant No 1, of the C division, stated
that, yesterday morning as he was on duty in Oxford-street,
he heard an outcry and springing of a rattle, in Dolphin..
court, and on proceeding there he found that the prisoner's
wife had been carried into the passage of the house, N 0.4, and
she was there lying on the floor, and seemed to be very
severely injured. Witness was informed by some of the in-
mates of the house that the female had been thrown„,out of
the second-floor front-room window (the apartment they
occupied) by the prisoner, and had fallen on to the flag pave-
ment of the court. She came down feet foremost. Witness
asked her if she persisted in her statement that the prisoner
had thrown her out of the window. She said she did, and he
accordingly took him into custody. The prisoner appeared
to have been drinking slightly but the wife was actually in-
toxicated ; she was taken to Middlesex Hospital, but refused
to allow herself to be examined by the house •surgeon,
or to remain there. She was in consequence removed
back to •her lodging, but this morning she was
so much worse that she was obliged to be
again conveyed to the hospital. Since then she persists in
stating that she jumped out of the window herself, and that
the prisoner had nothing to do with it. A certificate was
produced of the wife being in Middlesex Hoipital, suffering
from the injuries she had sustained, but which, under the cir-
cumstances, are surprisingly slight.
The mother of the deceased said she was quite sure the
prisoner did not throw her daughter out of the window.
He was, therefore, for the present allowed to go at large.
