will he the case for the defence, and it GER
tainlv is an ingenious and plausible one.
Let me now go on with the report OF the
case np to the present moment. On Mon
dov. rs Won are aware, the long croSs-cXaml.
nation of Mr.. Baigcnt was ended; and Tues
day was occupied by his reGNaminatlon by
Sergeant BalIantine. The witness in this re-
examination was able to clear his character
from the aspcr>ions that had Eccn cast upon
il. and TO show that, although he had been
very busy in the case, his motives had been
mljte pure. Sergeant Balant!ne then pro-
duccd and put in the following letter, which
was written by Roger Tich5ornc III Juiy,
1870. when nc was Is! years old. This was
for the purpose of showing how very lmptf'
feet his French education WAS. 1t was writ
ten after his arrival at StOnyhurst College,
and he never received any French education
after this:

In this letter, us you will see, "Juillet
was spelt "Juliete" arrives" "arriver' -;
"preston," "preStone "un," "mc":
etablisspmcnt," ctabliscment"; "magni'
tiquc," magnitfiQue"; " etcndue," "ctan.
du"; "longuer," g longues"; "outre,'
"autre": "classc," clasc"; travaillelai,
"travaira" and "Waterton," "water
tone" &c.. and these are errors that tho
plaintiff makes.
The witness then Went on to give an III
tercsting dissertation upon some OF the pho
togruphs produced in evidence, pointing out
among other things, that in one of the I'M
doubted photographs Of Roger Tichbolne
there was Il remarkable popularity in the
thumb Of one of the hands, Which same
popularity was possessed by the plaintiff
and also remarkable popularity in the eyes,
such as he had never seen in any other man.
He grew very much excited when he was
handed one OF these photographs which had
been in the possession of the defence, and
which, he said, had been tempered with in
the attempt to rub out the hand, so as to con-
ceal this popularity in the thumb. Then,
taking up the question of the similarity be.
tween the claimants handwriting and that OF
Arthur Orion, he succeeded in pointing ont
many essential differences. And finally his
examination closed with the questions put tc
him by the foreman of the jury, which have
already given.
1t was expected that this would end the
plaintiffs case. but Mr.. Ballantine announced
that he had 4 number Of witnesses yet tc
come. Mr.,Ballantinc we'll knows what he
is about. and after five soldiers and soldiers
