that it was at the corner of the Market Place.
1t produced a powerful impression on my mind
at the time. DR.. Kenealy had passed on to
review the testimony of Mr.. Bulpitt, Captain
Ounlife, Lieut., Colonel Norbury, and Captain
Saukey. Captain Sankey was a Captain in the
Royal Navy, and he identified the defendant as
Roger Tichborne. He was introduced to the
Defendant by Mr.. Spofforth without any previ-
Gus notice. The Defendant first said that the
witness was Captain Kellett but almost directly
afterwards said, "Oh, no, you are Captain
Sankey." The Defendant correctly answered
several test questions which we're put to him
by Captain Sankey, and which l say it is i'm
possible could have been anticipated, or the
Defendant coached TO reply to, Captain San
key showed Defendant 8 portrait of Captain
Moreton, and he recollected him in a moment,
saying, "This is poor Sam" Would Arthur
Orion have dared to do that2 a few remarks
on the evidence of Lady Burrard concluded this
part of the case. A conversation then insued
between the Bench and the learned counsel as
to the progress of the case, on the conclusion
of which the court adjourned.
For many DAYS past the court has not been
so crowded as it was on January Is, when
DR.. Kenealy arose, and in those subdued and
solemn tones which he reserves for certain
features of his case, proceeded to attack the
third and concluding portion of his address
the episode of the sealed packet. lie addres"
sed himself to the evidence, oral and dooumen-
tary, contending that it showed that Lady
Doughty had a maternal desire to see the Two
cousins united but, to adopt a phrase of Roger
TichbOrne's, she was ." diplomatic perS0n;'
and there came a time when all her intentions
in this respect we're changed. Gosford, it is
true, had told US that the packet contained g
vow about a church but why on earth should
a promise about q church be put In sealed
packet Look at the mystery and secrecy IN
the correspondence, all indicating a Jesuitlcal
St0nyhurst education. Then read the defea-
dauG's cr-oss-examlnation in the Court OF Com
mon Pleas, and mark "the e~vasions, the equl-
vocations, and the fencings' which it contained,
and who could fail to come to the conclusion
that the Defendant had been brought up IN a
Jesuit school : "Why," exclaimed the learned
counsel, with an indignant glance at his learned
opponents as if anticipating an emphatic denial
in that quarter sin almost every page OF that
cross examination you can smell Stonyhurst."
No; the packet had nothing to do with the
church. But there is a letter of Roger itch
borne's," remarked a juryman, sin which ne
says he has left a paper about building a church
at Tichborne, in Mr.. GOsfOrd'S hands " and
Mr.. Justice Lush pointed out that there was
another letter written at the same PERIOD
(January, 1852 to his solicitor, Mr.. Slaughter
in which the young man said that his "private
wishes and intentions if he lived" had been
oonfded to Mr.. Gosford. But "that," DIR.
Kenealy urged, was another matter"-as the
Defendant had himself observed in answer to a
question Of his counsel. Hereupon a consider
able discussion ensued-the learned gentle
man insisting that that answer indicated that
there we're different documents, though only
one sealed packet, left with GOsford and. the
Lord Chief Justice and his colleagues pointing
out that the Defendant never limited anything
of the kind until he came to be examined by
his own counsel but, on the contrary had
repudiated Sir John Coleridge's suggestion that
he had left a promise to build a church.
and had distinctly sworn that he never left but
one document. From this point DR.. Kenealy
turned again to passages in the correspondence
which. he contended. indicated q knowledge on
the part of Miss Doughty's mother of the out
rageous, u~nforgivable and never-to-be-mentlon-
ed act which had necessitated the Punishment
of Roger from his uncle's house. True, the
lady gave different and less serious reasons
but that was only her diplomatic and J%eSultlcal
habit. With some warmth the Lord Chief
