Prism .—The Colonel is a witness for my defence, there' .e for the present I shall decline asking him any more questions. But I hope the plea of non nd ricordo when the proper time arrives will not be allowed. Re-examined—.l sent the letter to Lord Wynford, after it had been read by his Royal Highness. Thomas Quick examined—..l am a police-officer. On the 17th of July, about seven o'clock in the morning, I saw the prisoner come out of a house, at Kensington. I followed him from place to place, until he got to Kew-green. I then saw him accost a servant dressed in mourning within about two hundred yards of the Duke of Cumberland's house. The servant afterwards went in the direction of the Duke's gate, but I cannot.tell whether he wont in or not. A carriage drove up. I saw the prisoner look into the carriage very earnestly. The servant came back to the prisoner, who afterwards walked backwards and forwards before the Palace for an hour and a half, and then walked away. By the prisener—l was instructed to follow you by order of the Superintendent. I was told to watch you. Prisoner—What were your instructions? 'Witness—To follow you wherever you went. Prisoner—Did he tell you for what purpose ? Witness—Not at first.  Prisoner—Was you not told that my object was assassination ? Witness—Not directly. Prisoner—Was you not told my object was a malicious ene? Witness—l had no instructions on that point. I had no instructions to prevent you doing any thing, only to watch you. Prisoner—Could you have prevented ma from murdering the person I addressed on that day or any other ? Witness—l would if I could.  Prisoner--That will not do. Was you near enough to have prevented me? Witness—No, I was not if you had fire arms. I thought from the manner of the servant that he was an acquaintance of yours. On the day in question I believe there was a marriage to be celebrated at Kew. There was no other public festival. Prisoner—Did you not know on that day that Mr. Jelf, tutor to Prince George, was to be married to a Lady in Waiting ? Witness—l did not. Prisoner—Were there not a great many carriages going to his Royal Highness's on that day fi Witness--I only observed two. In the carriage that you looked at there were three or four individuals, two of them ladies. I  cannot tell whether you bad any arms about you.  Now none.  Prisoner—Could you not from my bulk form a correct judgment whether I was or was not armed? NVitness—] could not; you had your arm in your coat-pocket behind. I could not tell whether you had arms in your pocket. I  . • did not ace you speak to any other person than the servants. Prisoner—lf you had seen me attempt to murder any one, could you or tiro ild you have prevented me ? Witness—Most certainly, I could. John May examined -I am It superintendant of the New Police.
