TIE counsel for the Bank objected to receiving the
word Of man who had been robbing them for years,
as to whether he had any confsdera,es or not When
the evidence was all in, however, the Lord Mayor
said:

ment there is nothing in the evIvenee before me ~ an
calculated 10 prove COLLISION completely on tne part
of Lyttleton; but he was, perhaps, guilty OF some
irdscretion in paying large sum OF money 10 the
other prisoner without inquiry But lndscre'ion - no
crime, and cannot, therefore, commit MN. lEonu
apJlause which was cut short by the officers OF te
Court.

against him. Another charge against Lyttleton being
.poken Of the attorney for the Bank marked:
With reference to the other charge against Lytle-
ton nv Lord some evidence has already been gwen,
