• STATE TRIALS.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WESTVINSTF.R.
THIRD DAV—WITNESDAY, JUNE rt.
Though this v►as, in many respects. an important
day in the trial of patron, yet it proceeded but s:only:
rhe examinatio:► of Castle, the Accomplice, lasted
frcm ten o'clock in the morning till half past .six in
the evening.

Tice Court az different dim this day was filled
persons of rank acd cote among others were
Lord Gam, with his sc,n, 2 te,ly about nine years old;
Lord fi,:i.t.Aoo, Load Goosvcson, Lord Ewa:nowt.
Lord Bissau°, Lord CAstms, and Eis on Lord
Butt:loom Lord Moiiminu, Mr. LAI:EII'ON, Mr.
Maim, Mr. RICHARD WELLIgatEY, Mr. LAW. Mr.
CORDON, Mr. %woos:up, Sir WittiAsi SCOTT, Sir
E. KNATCHBULL, Sir It. WILS2N, Mr. BRUCE, and
the PORTUGUEOC ANILASSADoIt.

The Arrommv-Gskaitar., about five o'clock in
the afternoon, observed, that he was happy to see
one of the Sheriffs in C.itut, as he had no doubt he
would feel it his duty to attend to what was passing
in the Ball. At that moment he understood hand
bills were in circulation, two of which he held in his
hand, and which contained the lollosving words: ••
'4 gal I'ONS ALIVF.!
g; A FEW ►lll. ItlC.l.lNtalAbl% IS WANTED."
"uIU I'ONS ARISE
is NO POltiotTV IN A rime COUNTRY !"

- - - -
There were about five or six of these placard:, in
manuscript, brought into Court, and shewn to the
Judges and the Jury. Mr. Sheriff Ktitey imme-
diately withdrew, and returned soon atter, without
making any report of what he bad done or discovered.
The number of these bills, being in m touscript, was
probably not great. The author or distribUtor of
these abominably absurd, as well al wicked placards,
was not, as far as we could leant, discovered at
late hour last night.
At the conclusion of the examinition in chief of
Castle, Lord ELLaNnanot cot addressed himself to
Mr. Wetherell, and asked whether it was his wish
then to enter upon the cross-examination of Castle

Mr. Wantritet.t. replied, that it would certainly
occupy much time t and if it were postponed, as the
witness was described in the li►t as in enstody, it
would not perhaps appear an unreasonable request,
that no persons but the guard and gaoler should have
access to him, until the cross.examinntion were
finished, in order that he might not be able to see
any notes of his evidence, or to have communication
with any persons who had been present during his
examination in chief.

Lord ELLExpottouoit raid it was certainly to be re-
gretted that vie cross-exasrsination could not be com-
menced to-night, but the Court could make no rule
such as was requested ; his Lordship would rather
adiress himselt to the Attorney-General, who ho
doubt would take care that alt proper precautions
were used. His Lordship trusted that Mr. Wetherell
would not understand that the remark that had fallen
Iron the Court regarding postponement proceeded
from any other motive than a wish fur his personal
accommodation. The Court would continue its sitting
to any length with perfect readiness and saiisfretiuo.
WEctretteu. proposed to put a few quettions
to the witness before the Court rose.

The Arrousev GtNUAL coasidered. that if the
cross examination were begun. it.could slot be di-
vided, but must be concluded that night. lb was
quite indifferent what course was pursued ; but he
would undertake, as far as his direction had force,
th4t the witness should have no communication,
either in writing or otherwise, with any persons but
his jailor ant: the gloat!.
Lord ELLEN. onovoir—., I hare no doubt of it ;
add I rather think that Mr. Atu Genes 41 is right
that it you begin, Mr. Wetherall, you must conclude
your cross-examination.

Mr. WErnxiteu. suggested that the sittiag of the
Court might be prol,,nged, as tit. Mil, 10 si•ven or
eight o'clock, and in the mean time the cross ezami-
nation might proceed.
Mr. Justice 11.-tvcav observed, that that hour was
now nearly arrived.
Lord ELLEN:moot:Gil—We are ready to (timid'
such bodily strength as we hare: Gun knows we
have none to spare. The object being to obtain
truth, it is right to consider also the biddy state
of the witness, and to take care that he is not entirely
exhausted. 1 certainly never recollect so long as
examination in chief in my liw. You Will
.dispow of
our time as you think fit.
Mr. WETUERALL added, that after the fatigue the
Jury had undergone as well as the Court, he would
not then commence the cross-examination. lle
thought, however, that such questions as the Jury
was disposed to put might be answered.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that this was not
the fit stage for the questions of the Jury. He again
assured Mr. Wetherell that every step should be taken
to prevent any kind of comsaunication with the wit-
ness.

Lord ELLEN1101401:01I recommended Mr. WicruErt.
ELL to accept this assurance, as the Court could not•
interpose to lay down any rule upon die subject.
One of the Jury took this opportunity of asking,
if they could not be allowed to take a little fresh air,
in custody of the Officers appointed to attend them :
this might be done either early in the morning, or
late in the evening; but unless it were permitted, it
was nbt impossible that the Court alight be delayed
by the rlecessity of medical attendance upon some of
the Jury!?
The C.:ourt assented; but suggested that the direc-
tion taken by the Jury should not be made knoWn.
Mr. WUTHILRELL requested that some otlicer might
be sworn to keep the witness Castle secure from all
communication; and again Lord Ewt.voiouovcri
recommended that the Counsel for the prisoner
should be satisfied with what the Attorney-General
nad wicks-taken.

Mr. W rriitan.c. begged that some person on thv
part of the prisoner might be allowed to watch the
witness.

Lord Etxxszonotxu observed, that if it were his
caw he should entertain no doubt or jealousy, ate,
%tint bad been said by the other side.
Mr. WILTHISELL expressed himself quite satisfied
under the cirCerattelKet, and agreed to eomn►tn:.
his cross.examination to-morrow (this (14)1 M►.
Justice B,►tr.r:t observing, that the witness migl►

Con he had had with other. peivms than thc;e ap •

On leaving the Hall the prisoners were as unit
