settlement made upon Mr. Blackhurst's marriage and the
delivery of the will, codicil, and other documents to the
executors having been proved, John Thompson,auctioneer,

of a few legacies her personal estate would go to the city

de-
posed to Mrs. Blackhurst having told her that, as she
lasgow
had inherited her property through her husband, who was
a G
Glas-
gow, for the purpose of endowing a school ; and the wit-
ness further stated that Mrs. Blaekhurst wished her to:
call upon the Lord Provost,of Glasgow, and request him.
to write to Mr. Noble, her solicitor in Preston, respect-
ing the property, in case of her death. The witness ac-
cordingly saw Mr. Forbes, the Town-clerk of Glasgow,
and communicated to him the statement of Mrs. Black-
hurst. Mr. Seger then addressed the Court for the de-
fendant, and contended that there was no legal evidence
of any forgery having been committed by Mr. Blackhurst.
and that the accusation was only a trick on the part of
the prosecutors to throw their opponent in prison, and
thereby obtain an unfair advantage over him in a civil
court in pursuing their claim to the property. The bench
retired, and after an absence of half an hour returned
into court, when the Mayor stated that the magistrates
had decided on sending the case for trial at the assizes.
Mr. Segar. applied for bail, but the application was re-
fused. The court was crowded to excess during the whole
of the proceedings.
