Q. Were yon advised by your Counsel that the,
Jury would find it impossible to.give a verdict on
such :testimony as bad been giveu.by the Plaintiff's
brother and Mrs. Clarke ? A." I . understood
from Mr. Garfield that ins Counsel were satisfied
Else Jury were with me. that the insurance had
settled he business, and that they were satisfied
there would be a verdict; if I .would leave it to
them.
Q. f ask you again, whether your Counsel
SAVE 'that opinion ? A. I have given my an.
aver, that they dud think the Jury was with me ;
that the insurance business had settled the ques-
tion, and that if the management of the business
,021 left to them, it would be right. I received a
rinte from Mr. Corfield, saying, that Mrs. Clarke
had sworn that 1 had given orders for the furni-
ture, in the presence of Major Dodd. I imine-
diately exclaimed, " The business is settled ; I
" hare the verdict are ; she is convicted of per.
" jury." I took my pencil, and was going to
write ; bet said, this is a matter of such come.
quencc, that I must not truat it to a pencil ; and I
ran over to the King's Arms, wrote a note to Mr.
Coyield, as strung as I could pen, requesting that
Major Dodd might be examined, saying, "press
him home, you have nothing to fear ;" meaning
that the rumour about the Duke of Kent was false.
I read that note to Mr. Wright.

plied for a now trial ? A. Yes.
Q. Did not you at the trial leave it to the dis-
cretion of your Counsel to call witnesses, as in
their ktd:tnent they thought best ? A. I never
saw my Connie! previous to the trial but once.

it to the discretion of your Counsel ? A. Till I
received that note I did.
