ment, as the defendant, while the officer was addin.o
up the account, left the'Prothonotary's office, to avoid
being served with notice of the allocatur with which
he was charged at the time, under the pretence that
he had an appointment at the Master's Chambers,
but which was not true, as he (Mr. Sergeant Cross) had
an affidavit stating that he was met going in a contrary
direction. The Learned Sergeant then stated that the
plaintiff had frequently called at his house to serve him,
but that the defendant had atudrou,ly avoided all com-
munication, and notice bad-been left as his 04fice, in
Auitisariars, of the iatention to make this application.
The Coma directed a peremptory rule to be dra*n

the day, without tasting food ; she had no money, nor a lodging to
go to; she got over the Park wall into the Kensington Barracks
about half.past eleven o'clock at night; a sentinel on duty and the
prisoner Birmingham were in the barrack-yard ; the prisoner said
to the sentinel,“ Wbo is she ?" the latter replied " that healid not
know ;" the prisoner came up to her, and told her that it she liked
she might come and lie in his room ; she accompanied 1111111 to the
apartment, and being very much fatigued, she threw herself-upon
the led without undressing; the prisoner did nut offer to take any
liberty with her, but remained in the room till it was past twelve
o'clock, when he dressed himself in a fustian stable dress, and put
on a sort of foraging cap; the prisoner at that Orr, she supposed,
believed het to be asleep. and he went to a table and took from
thence a knife, which appeared to her to be a common dinner knife.
(The knife found near the body had a black handle. with a brass
ferule, and was a common dinner knife). He left the rifont without
saying a word to her, and put the door to ; her fatigue was s • ex-
cessive, not having been in bed for many nights, and being without
food fur the preceding 24 hours, the,fell asleep immediately after
Birmingham had left the room, and she did not awake till five
o'clock in the morning, when Birmingham entered the room in
the same dress be wore when he left at twelve o'clock. Site asked
him, as soon .as she awoke. if she should get up and leave the bar.

he would then show her out of the place. She got up at six o'clock,
and going into the barrack-yard, she saw a sergeant sitting on a
seat, who appeared to have just risen from his bed, and who saw
her go out. After she bad leis the barrack she wandered about the
Park, sand in the neighbour hood of Kensington, and on the Friday
morning, about five o'clock, she was lying asleep in the open air near
the magazine, when she was awoke by a soldier' who told her that'
she must come to the barracks, and if she would say that Birming-
ham was with her all the night of Wednesday till Thursday morn-
ing. its the barracks, she would get him out of trouble. She after-
wards saw two persons, one of whom said,,that 'Willingham was
his servant, and if she would swear . . . . . • .
. . . he would reward her handsomly to get Birmingham
off. She consented to do so, awl she stated before-the Coroner, in
consequence of the advice and promises thAt she had received, that
Birmingham was with her all night, and that she never went to
sleep, both of which statements were untrue."
Saturday Sir IN-11MM Blasts and Sir I'ET6II LAMM had an in,
terview at this office, upon the subject of carrying on the inquiry
by summoning the witnesses to Newgate. Sir Panic thought it
best to advise with some of his brother Aldermen, and also to take
the opinion of the City legal Authorities, before he took any steps ;
but he exprefsed himself to be most ansiaus that the fullest 'fewest'.
gation should take place into an affair of suzitpabße importance.
The sentinel who allowed the Witness, Susan Benneat, nago with
Birmingham to his room._ has been tried by a Court.grartial. and
he was tound guilty of the chile ithftited to him, and on Saturday
