This wu one of the most at►ocious pro-
ductions that ever issued from the press.
The deposition being completed, and a wanaitillati
up, they were both laid before Mr. Eirnie by tie par-
ties; when the following tlialogne ensued :
Mr. Birnie. (after having road the deposition) " Is
this all ?"—Mr. Harmer replied that it waiot-tMr.
Bionic 46 I ems't issue a worrewt-wpon elirimew
petard evidesee of an accomplice."—Mr. 4tarreer.
Well, Sir, but we are not at present ready nub say
other tostimsay."—Mr. Birnie. I cannot help that,
Mr. Harmer. This man is equally culpable with his
employer, and, if the business proceeds, I shall feel it
my duty to commit him also."—Mr. Harmer. "it
appears to me, Sir, that the person who employs these
poor creatures is the most culpable. We renld have
brought the printer, but his evidence world be liable
to the some objection."—Mr. Dirsie. " Most as-
suredly."—Mr. Harmer. "Then, Sir, Ido not :ee
that there can at present be any other evisiense."--Mr.
Birnie. " I do not know that."—Mr. Harmer.
'" Yes; but while we are arranging that evidence Mr.
Denis O'Bryea may be off."—Mr. Birnie. " I should
not think so; but at all events it is very irregular to
proceed in this way." Mr. Harmer. "Sir, if you
will suffer the apprehension of this person to take
place upon this deposition, I pledge myself to pro-
duce the other evidence when he appears before you."
—Mr. Binde then requested to look at the posting-bill,
and it was handed to him. The worthy Magistrate
reed it, and obey red, that this wa■ one which was pro-
duced last week.—Mr. H. " Yes it wu, amongst many
others, but no specific Information was laid upon it."
Mr. Bi►sie and the applicant parties then retired
into Mr. Stafford's dice, sad were some time in con-
sultation ; when they returned, Dlr. Bin& wrote a
letter to Sir B. Hobbeeee. UndersSecretary of State I
for the Home Department, which he skewed to Mr.
Harmer, who expressed his entire approval of it. The
warrant and deposition were enclosed in this letter
and sent to Sir B. Hobbonse, at the Home Office.
After some tins* the messenger returned with a
note, the purport of which, as we understand, was to
desire the Magistrate to •ee his own discretion.
Mr. *rale immediately signed the. warrant, but
Mr. Harmer was not then present, and it resembled on
the table ready to lie served when the partiteupply-
lag ibseW call for its execution.
Mr. Manta subsequently explaised,'that the only
motive for hesitation on his part in signing the war•
rant was, that the evidence on which it was applied
for was that of an accomplice.
The warrant was to the following effect:—
" Pt:mac-orrice. 1101C-STRFET.
