more, when writing again he asked for mo
ney, because he did not know how heshould
live until they received letters from England,
and said that he was more like ga manic
(maniacl than B. of B. Z. probably be-
rol,et OF the British kingdom) Qaughter) to
think that his wife should be brought to bed
in such howell" This the jury were asked
to believe was the man who had plenty of
money In two of the first commercial houses
in the world. They were asked to believe
that the slightly-Inade Roger Tichborne had
in twelve years developed into the mass of
flesh which they had for so many years seen
before them. This might be possible; but
was it possible that the high-minded, chival-
rous Roger could in that time have developed
into the rascal the plaintiff was admitted to
be? He was tried for horse-stealing; he was
a common Australian thief; and it was i'm
possible that Roger, with no reason to COM
pei him, would have become the low ruffian
and the associate Of rlIfiians that the plain
tiff undoubtedly was? His mothers and
his aunt's names were all gone from
him, whilst at the same time he rcmem-
bered fully the names of thirteen or
fourteen persons at MellipiLla, where he
said he had only been for three weeks. Where
also did the plaintiff, the heir to the great
Tichborne family, go, when at Christmas,
1866, he landed in this country? He went
to the Globe Inn at Mapping, asked ques-
tions rs to the Orion family, with members
of which he put himself into communication
next day. He went down to Tichborne muf-
fled and in disguise, and he did not even
know the house when he saw it until he ask
ed old Charley Grey. He went to see his
own mother also, i'll company with q strlnge
attorney and a gentleman whom he had
picked up in n billiard-room near London
bridge, and who introduced him to the
strange attorney. This was the way in which
he ran to the yearning embrace of his mother,
who was said to have recognized him in the
presence OF Holmes, of Leet, and Of Coyne !;
no one Of whom had been called to give evil
dene rs to it. After this the plaintiff saw va.
rious persons to identify him ; but at this part
Of the case no one witness was seen alone.
and none seen without a previous appoint
mcnt. He had seen each pretended friend
of his in company wthan attorney; but was
this natural or proper proceeding? Roger
Charles Tichborne would rather have well
coined his friends openly, freely, and without
fear.

They should see more Of the letters Of Ro-
ger and the plaintiff, and they would form
their opinion on comparing the expressions
and thoughts of cultivated gentleman and
Il low backstlard like the plaintiff. The is
sue, it must be remembered, also was upon
the plaintiff. The defendants were in posses
sion of the estate, and they could not be
turned out unless the plaintiff showed that
he had better title than they had, and un-
less he made ont the affirmative issue that he
was entitled he could not succeed in this
action. He submitted confidently to the jury
that the tone and character of the PLAINTIFF
letters bore no similarity whatever to the let
Roger was tall and thin, with thin dark
brown, almost black hair, as he should prove
over and over again, and show that he was
marked with tattoo marks. He should, in
deed, call before them nobleman who would
tell them that he tattooed Roger, and Roger
tattased him; lie would show them his own
mszks, and he would point out to them the
p!ace where the marks Of Roger would be if
would remember, was for three years at
Stonyhurst, which was by far the
grandest Roman Catholic college in this
country. No doubt his education had
lie Il neglected, and hence, no doubt also,
his education was not thorough. Still,
he bore his part, and | shall show YOU to de-
monstration that he had reasonable amount
Of Latin. that he attended various lectures
on chemistry and other things, and asso-
ciated there with Lord Arundel, the Berke-
lcys, the BeaumontS, and various other
young gentlemen of the leading Roman
Catholic families, and il short he was not at
all the person that Dir. Mcyrick chose to paint
him. lie visited also at various places whilst
there, several Of which places the plaintiff
did not even recollCct when they were put
to him. He became very intimate also with
Mr.. Nangle, and accompanied him on his
love-making expeditions to the young lady
whom he afterwards married. Another cir
cumstance worth notice was that Roger, cX-
cept when quite child, never used the
words "malnna and "papa," but always
"father" and "mother," whilst this fellow
used the word "mamma !" fifteen times in
the course Of one letter to Lady Tichbornc.
The learned gentleman read number of let
tiers written by Roger simply to show the
style in which he wrote and to contrast it
with that of the plaintiff; and he also read
two letters from him to Lady Doughty-two
out Of hundreds-though the plaintiff could
not recolect that he had ever written to that
lady in his life. Could man possibly have
forgotten that he had written such letters?
AS to his military life it could not he pre-
tended that he was good and accomplished
| officer, but he was never that lout that the
learned sergeant (Mr. Sergeant Ballantine)
represented him. The plaintiffs position
was that in the witness-boX he could not de-
| vcop more than few most miserable scraps
Of military knowledge. Near one of Rogers
quarters there was the famous Michaelstown
| Cavern, and there was also the Rock Of Ca
shcl, the centre Of Il great deal of the civil
and ecclesiastical history of Ireland, and both
these places Roger went to see, and wrote
well about them, and his letters showed that
he could not have Leon the low, dirty ruflian
and lilr that Mr.. Baigent and the learned
sergeant had pretended that he was. AS he
had said, Roger wrote hundreds of letters to
Lady Doughty, but not one to Miss Doughty,
whilst the sham man could not rccOllect
writing any single letter to Lady Doughty,
whilst he thought it probable that he wrote
to the young lady. There was no doubt an
intimate relation between Roger and his cou-
sin Kate, and the real facts were these. 1t
must be promised that Mrs. Radcliffe will on
her oath deny every particle of the great and
abominable SANDER that had been uttered
against her by the plaintiff.
The jury intimated that it was desirable
that the arrangement that they should not
sit after 4 o'clock should be adhered to
strictly.
The Attorney-Gene said that it now only
wanted five minutes to the hour; and rs this
particular branch of the subject must take
some time it was better that they should adj
journ at once.
