To this Mr. Pearson raised no - objection, but
wished to be assured that the new service oftheautn.
mans -mould be real, and with that 'ew accompanied
the messenger himself to the hour of Mr. Peach,'
which they reached between twelve knd one o'clock
in the morning. The family had retired to bed; but
a servant having come out. Mr. Pearson wrote a note
to Mr. Peech, and received his answer, in which he
distinctly denied having been summoned. before ; and
he further added, that he believed his name would
have been struck entirely out of the panne', as he was
unable to attend, being then very ill in bed. The
duplicate. summons which was then serve,' upon Mr.
Peech riquired:itis attendance on. the 29th of July,
the first day of the Assizes. ' ' ' .
Mr. Serjcant VAUGHAN said he would, with the
permission of the Court, examine :`,lr. Under She-
riff Lee. '
Mr. Lee being sworn, stated that he had made'out
his warrants on the 27th of July, directed to the offi-
cer for issuing the summonses, grid dividing., the JU
• rors by hundreds. Of the service of the summonses
hewai unable to say anything .of his own know-
ledge. The witness then stated the substance of tie
conversation which Mr. Pearson had with him, in
the same manner as had been sworn to by Mr. Pear-.
son himself. He made out a new summons, whkh.
he caused to be served tipon Mr. Peech ; believed lAN.
Pearson was with the messenger, but had, not seen
him since the min's return.
In answer to a question by Mr. DENMAN, the wit-
ness repeated that the warrants were certainly made

Jose, h Smith said he was thepeison who went to
Mr.Peech's house with Mr. Pearson. When they came
the family were in bed, but a Lady, who he believed
to be Mrs. Peech, put her head out of the window;
and witness said he had a summons from the Sheriff,
for Mr. Peech to attend a Special Jury. The Lady
answered, that he hid already had summonses, but
that he was so ill, it was quite impossible for him to
attend. This was said in the hearing of Mr. Pear-
son. Indeed, Mr. Pearson .said he knew as much,
for he had been speaking to the Lady the same morn-
ing, and then asked to see her again. He said he
would call at six in the morning. Witness saw Mr.
Pearson there with a chaise the morning before,
and he had a letter, as he believed, (tom Major
Cartwright.
'Cross-examined.—Mrs. Peech said her husband
had got summonses, but she did not say in what
cause. The name of the King and Cartwright was
never mentioned. Mr. Pearson only said he knew
Mr. Peech had got summonses, not the summons.
Re-examined.—The butler said his master had a
summons before, !it he was unable to attend. It was
only for, I believe, a Special Jury. .There was no.
name of a•catise mentioned. lam almost sure there'
. was a letter from Major Cartwright.

The CHIEF BARON.—Major Cartwright, I don't
know that it is quite regular to allow you to ask the
witness a question ; you have an able Counsel ; and r
"would rather you would leave your cause in his
hands. I make all Ross litle 4icovants for your feel-

..• Tlr,Cnter :BA aox.—Sir, I have already told you
:that I cannot displace Counsel from the, table.
MG. Wooler (after a short interval).—My Lord, I
have to request that you will giye me some directions
'how I am to act'?- -
The Cnser-BAam—Sir, I have only to repeat to
you what I have already Said.
Mr. Wooler.—My Lord,
.I beg you may give pe-
remptory orders for my accommodation.
The CHIEF BARONI wonder that you persist in
this way. I shall give peremptory orders for mom—

priated to the defendants. . ~
Mr. WOoler.—Your Lordship sees there is no con-
venience.—(This, like the former appeal, ended, in
Mr. Wooler 's remaining in the same place.)
After the letters were read, Mr. DENMAN claimed
a right of examining Mr. Pearson upon oath. As
they were tied downto the words of the affidavit, it
was but just Mr. Pearson should have an opportunity
of explaining parts of it.
The Citrar Liatow.--I can have. no diificalit is
allowing you. .
Mr. Pearson being sworn, denied
.that he evee'c'ar-
vied a letter from Major Cartwright to Mr. Peed), .4
that he knew of any such letter having been written.
Ile had never said to Mr. Peech, or the servant, that
lie knew of such a letter. Never saw Mr. Peech be-
fore in his life. When witness said he knew of Mr.
Peech having received summonses before, he meant
in other causes, not this.

Mr. Lee was again called, to know whether a se-
parate summons had been issued to Mr. Peech for
this cause, or if the cause was only mentioned amongst
others upon which he was to attend. The witness
could recollect tiotbin but having directed the war-
rant to the proper Officer.
Joseph Sailing was the person who received the
Sheriff's warrant, but he had not time to have all the
isuiarnonses served. Sent some of them by common
carriers. Believed there was only one summons
