she became acquainted with a Mr. Sissison, of Hell,
who was is every respect her equal, and who soon
afterwards paid her every-attention whirl. generally
precedes a more intimate reslatios. Ile will tell you
that a titne was fixed for their Marriage before her
father's death, nhiels took place in 1920, and that
duly last year was ai, .in appointed, and that the mar-
riage would Am have taken place bat for the ao•ny-
mous letter now to he proved to hare been sent by the
defendant, Early in July Mr. Sissisun st rote a letter
to Miss Bell, ',high indicated a change in his opinion.
She wrote for explanation, and he stated that the
change imbis mind arose Dons information reflecting
us Ler character and virtne. She naturally inquired
what Information bad been revived, and from what
platter it bad estate. Iler brother went to Hull, and
Mr Sissisun stated that he had reeeirmittro anonyment
letters, An gement was made, by which he gave
up Cie letter this slay produced before you. It is
•
mams io obscuredanguage; sad the imputations aryl
cesn4t4l in ambiguous terms; her is,esottains imputa-
tions which rendered it imprudent in Mr. S's. views to
hare any further connexion witlva female of inch eh*-
, reeler. The defendant, you will be surprised to bear, is
a miniver of Methodist*. and has peen in that rharae•
ter in North Shields fur about s year and a half.
Surely, if the case is made out to you satisfaction, no
damages can be thought too large leer such a libel. I
understand the defence to be set up is, that Mr. Hill
is not the author of this lettrr. I cannot help wishing
for the credit of human nature, that it could be proved
that he is not the author. The effect of his being
proved she rime met be to make him infamous all
his life. I will read to you the letter ; it is dated the
Bth of 1821 ; it is add ol to John Sissison,
evidently by mistake for Isis brother. " Sir, excuse
haste, brevity. Mad obscurity ; you are engaged in an
affair in this place which will prove your rain except
Providence prevent. As a friend, I warn you of your
danger. May Ood help you, you are cruelly deceiv-
ed ; instaatly break off the connexion ; better spend
your days in a prison than coatings it. The prudent
man foreseeth the evil, and bidet!. himself.' Ark any
respectable person in North or South Shields for the
truth of this letter, except Dr. 0. omy friend, be
advised ; I .could end this with a name that would
easily convince you, but I forbear. Pray make fur-
ther inquiry."
The same qttotation.—" The prudent man foreseeth
the evil, and hideth himself," is found in a letter ad-
mitted to be written by Mr. Hill. The expression
" 0 my friend be advised," was also found in a letter
of his writing. This gentleman seems to have con-
sidered himeglf Providence, and was therefore to pre-
vent the marriage. If this letter be proved to have
been written by the defendant, I need say nothing
with respect to damages. As fathers and brothsts,
you caoconslaot no damage too much for such as in-
jury.

collect baring any conversation about Hill's hand-
writing. I am a Methodist.
By Mr. aergeant lIULLOCa. Mr. Berl is a trust..e
for the chapel. I went expressly on bodies, re•pect-
ing the chapel. The number of tickets biped in my
presence was 13. I have seen several letters from Mr.
Hill to us official men in the society. I am one of
the stewards.
By Mr. Scanairmr.--Tbere are six stewards. I
am a class leader. The class leader gives lectures
end .ecelvrs from the sentiments of their minds what.
,ewer they he. I am not a Deity to receive confe•-
siuss. 1 don't pretend to give absolution; that be•
fowl to a higher power, you know.
Wan. lAule.—l have known Mr. Hill tea years.
He has been two years Methodist minister at North
Shields. I have seen him write frequently. and I re-
milted one letter from him. I am circuit steward. •I
have often sat beside him when he wrote at circuit
meetings. The last time he took care not to elite.
He sometimes forgot him, and`asoit ilia pea up
sad threw it down as if he wee scalded. It was lifter
this hominess began. I believe that letter to be in the
hamlwritiog of Mr. Thomas Hill. I know his heed
perfectly. I had toe much reason to know it.
By Mr. Bnothansist-1 am a draper. Not more
active in this ease than I ought to be. I have not
paid money for it. I talked' about it. I was not
equally for both sides. My conscience would not al-
low me. To be impartial I—l have been one of four,
not a committee. I went about showing the letter t o
six or seven people in vindication of my character.
You have been charged ?—No. Stop, now. It is my
time now, that is our way here. though not yours.
Ton have been charged with taking part against Mr.
Hill, and you showed the letter to six in your vindi-
cation ?—Yes. Precious Mr. Owen was one at the
consultation; accepted Mr. Potter was anoth►r. An
arbitration was proposed. They would object to me.
I swear I never said I thought the halide rising w se
Mr. Beet's. I did say it was like a woman's hand, :t
was so small. I won't swear that I did not a month
after I saw it, and at a politic leader's meeting, say
it warn a woman's hand. I never said it after dil-
covering it was his hand. I mean by discovering, per-
ceiving it to be his writing. I don't recollect saying
before 20 persons that I believed it to he a woman'a
hand. There have been differences on this occasion
among us. The congregation hare been divided in
opinion respecting Mr. Hill. He and I never had say
disputes before this. On the Oxley qoestion—on the
Oxley controversy—l think we did not take opposite
sides, There was soma conversation atoll' Mr. Oxlef
not attending to rule as a leader, by not attending
meetings and payiag looney.
By Mr. Sergeant HeLLoCK.....I had a conversation
about a disagreeable business at Bligh. The friends
there had a missed ding with Mr. 11111. I blomei
him, bat I had no dispute. Ue apologized, for ex-
pressions in letters he wrote. We had a meeting.,
and thought we settled it, bat it was not fully settled.
I must confess it was by comparing I discovered the
letter to be Mr. Hill's writing. I arrived at belief bf
comparison.
The witness wished to go into comparisons of ex-
pressions its the letter, but he was not allowed,
Michael Cook.-1 have seen Mr. Hill with the p•n
in his hand writing, more than once—more thin
levier, I cannot say more than thrice. 1 hail no letter
or sou from him. I did in the order of writing, but
not bound up. I have seen a letter of his confession.
:hat is atitnitted to be his band-writing., Tbat letter
is T. Hill's handwriting. , .
By Mr. SCARLIITT.-1 am a bricklayer. I b we
seen that letter three times before. Jane Bell those
it first. and I said I thought it was Mr. Hill's. Not
loag after I said I thought I might be mistaken. I
swear l did not say I did o st believe it to be his hand-
writing. I did ■ot write it—+h-1 did sign me
name that it was not his hand•writiug. Dlr. 11111
caws to me and said, " Friend Cook, you used to be
my friend, bat you have said the letter was my hand-
writing. Perhaps you have changed your mind—
others have t" and I signed the paper fur the sake of
peace among the congregation. 1 did not sign that
it was cruel and unjust to say that it was Mr. Hill's
writing. I did not see those words. Mr. Hill said,
TIIOIIIIII Boddam wrote the paper I signed, and
said if he did, then Boddam wrote the anunymou
letter. Mr. Hill said he himself wrote that part at
he top.
By Mr. Losu did not read the paper I signed
It was not read to me. I did nor know what it eon
wined. I aimed It to keep dews tumult in th
country and for peace. Thomas Hill told me tiler°
would be tumult.
Win. Oxley.—l know the defendant. I saw him
write, perhaps 5 or 6 times. I saw him write when
I visited professionally. 1 am a doctor of physic.
saw him writing at quarterly meetings. I receive.'
letters from him. That letter I believe to be Thomas
Hill's. the defendant's. I know Miss Bell. She has
been for the last eight months in a very ill state of
health. She is now better, after a sea voyage. Ile•
health had been previously very goad. Her min i
has been very bid, ander great nervous irritability,
bordering on derangement, owing to anxiety an I
want of rest.
By Mr. TINDALL....4 never had doubts about the
band-wilting. I never thought it Mr. Moss's. I
charged Mr. Moss wit'u writing the anonymous letter
lik.fore I saw it. I never, to my recollection, said it
was like Mr. Moss's handawritisq. To the best of
my knowledge t said I did not believe it to Le
Mr. Ili.l's. I have practised in North Shields for 20
years. Before this I was os good terms wi.ll Mr.
liill. I said to Mr. Wingrave " If this action-will
not do, something else will." I bad heard the plain.
tiff say she should bring as action unless the whole
e•err►spoadence between Sissison and Hill was laid be
fore her. My proposal to Mr. Wingrave was to bring
Mr. 11111 to be tried before the district meeting of
preachers. I have Net bee, very active in getting
wit . 1 was in Hull, going toss, my children in
Lincolnshire. I brought letters to show Ale Siesisol

John Bell.—l am the brother of Jane Bell.
know William Sissison of Hull. There was an en-
gagement between them. The marriage was delayed
by the death of my father. Early in July, 1821, it
was afterwards fixed to take place. That time was not
kept, I went to Hull. I recei►ed the payer produced
from Mr. Sissison.

By Mr. SCARLETT.-1 am 40. My sister may be
33. She is not 39, She lived with me since my fav
ther's death. We always lived together, My father
was • ship builder. I am a ship surveyor. The
property was to be divided between us. I can't say
what property else has. I can't swear what property.
As far as I can tell, my father left 801. in money,
and the furniture of the hoes.. I have three sisters,
bat one of them was unfortunately married, and
received her share before my father's death. I had
the 801. in stock as • glass and china merchant. lam
sow declining business. I am selling off at prime cost.
My sister has got part of the 801. in valuables, clothes.
nod furniture. I can't tell bow mach, our interests
have been so interwoven together. I borrowed no
money, and she borrowed none for clothes, 1 cannot
tell what my sister did. I believe she has borrowed
money for clothes, with an idea is leave this country
when our business is wound up. There aas about 1201.
left in furniture. My eldest sister may have received
201. or 301. I don't know haw she is to pay the ex-
p f this action. She has many wealthy friends.
I believe she has borrowed money, I don't know that it
was with the express view of paying the expenses
of this action. I gave no security to the attorney.
I believe I may give on my oath that I am nut se-
curity for money borrowed with the express view of
paying this action. lam joint security with her
for 301., which I received from Mr. Spence. and
rave to her. I believe I cannot answer what she did
with It. That that money has not been paid to the at-
torney Ido not know positively. 1 don't know into
whose hands the money has gut. I can swear I un-
derstood it was a delicate business, and spoke little
about it. The attorney told my sister be could not go on
without money. I cannot say that I believe he got the
money. Mt father died in Oct. 1820.
By Mr. Sergeant MIILLOCII.—Her health is very
