OUT.
When Calligan finished giving in his
evidence, Dir. Sam. Page asked that ne

should retire, upon the ground of being
A Commonwealth witness, if no other.
After having it placed on record that
Calligan was excused on motion OF the
defence. the Court allowed him to re-
tire. The Commonwealth Attorney
then asked that Mr.. Kidd, father Of the
prisoner. be excluded from the court
room on the ground that ne was wit
ness for the defence. This point was
argued at some length aud oyerruled by
the Court, and the examination again
went on.

Mr.. Mcintyre, but went in with u.s.
Mr.. Dunn then gave history oil the
first part Of the conversation between
Messrs. William Kidd and Calligan,
which, in effect, was the same as given

After Lewis and Mr.. Cslligan had
shaken hands Mr.. William Kidd said
to Calligan, II would like TO see you
and Willie make friends" Cslligan
replied, &" Willie is a Id rascal, aud
| could lick him in two minutes" Mr..
Kidd then said, If nothing but fight
ing will do, you take Mr.. Dunn and I
will take my son Willie, and We will
let you two go out on Spring Hill and
fight it out-whicheyer one gets
whipped to take it for his
share-and let the matter be
settled" Calligan started to strike

rate them, and exclaimed, "My God :
