rr 8,045/. Is. 1 lid.
J. Ellis, a female s •reant in the family, was ex-
amined as to the furniture and elf.:ets in the house at
the time of Mr. Slide's death.
J. Stakes, Esq , stared that he had known the de-
ceased many years; never had any convenstient wit% •
hint ereliecting has private affairs, but always swish-
dried that hr lived much within his income.

whieb was delivered to hits by Mr. Made. and he
was sent with it to Owl:fork of the Cheque at
Sheerness. The nest morning the principal clerk in
the Cheque-office at Sheerness arrived at Chadians, and
stated that a considerable deficiency had been dis-
covered in Ile lifts of notes sent the preceding day.—
He described a lift to cossist of 60 notes of following
numbers, and of equal value. The deficiency, it ap-
pears, arose from the introduction of sows into these
lifts of a less value than those on the outside, one-
pounds having been substituted for two's or
Mr. Slade said it was a mistake, and without further
observation made up the deficiency, Mr. iikeilevtar-
ther stated, that he alwaysolkod, when the cash in
hand was reduced to abut ,000/. Mr. Slade
evinced great anxiety until the'atrival of a further
supply.
F. S Newcombe said he was once requested by Mr.
Slade to turn down some right hand • a of some
lifts of notes for his (Mr. S.'s) convenience, in doing
which be discovered that the notes on the face were of
greater value that those io the middle of the lifts, on
mentioning which to Mr. N. be said they were some he
had pat together, pushed them aside, and gave him
others, which proved correct.
C. Slade, son of the deceased, stated that he did
not know that his father died possessed of any pro-
perty.
