XIII. and Marshal Saxe; the value of the ornament being. 2001. The other portion of the silver was the produce of a microscope and stand, worth 40/., before being melted down, and sold to Mr. Seymour at 4s. 6d. per ounce. The silver articles and the vase (valued at 101.) had been stelen from a bookcase in a closet adjoining the library of the Palace, to which the prisoner had access when employed there, but from which the property had not been missed until the present transaction became known at the Palace. Some furniture had been also found in the prisoner's house belonging to her Majesty—the royal initials being obliterated. The witnesses having been severally hound over in the sum of 100/. each to appear against the prisoner at his trial, Mr. HALL remanded him for further examination if necessary. A remarkable circumstance has been disclosed by the above inquiry. About a year ago two women servants in the Palace, named Lindsey, were brought before Mr. Hall on suspicion of stealing furniture from the royal residence, and acquitted, although discharged from her Majesty's service. Subsequently, a cabinet-maker, named Fletcher, was accused of the theft, but net taken into custody. Still the imputation affected his mind so deeply, that he soon afterwards committed suicide by hanging himself. The furniture then missed has been now discovered in the above prisoner's house.  The CHAIRMAN said the Committee were of opinion that if the Counsel who produced the • witness conceived this evidence im. portant to their case they could go on with it.

He said the observed traffic to Smithfield would not, in fact, give the actual traffic at all in cattle ; he, therefore, employed persons to ascertain the amount of that traffic from other sources, such as the returns of Mr. Herbert and Mr. Thompson, professed traffic takers. It often happened that there were weeks during which no cattle came from some counties to Smithfield, and, therefore, the observed traffic could not be relied on, for it would be entirely fallacious. The tables contained no account of live stock brought short distances, but those only which came the whole distance from Lincolnshire, Nottingham, Cambridgeshire, and the other counties, to Smithfield. The table did not include calves, lambs, or swine, as no accurate information could be had in respect to the number of those animals that came from those counties.  , . and Co. 20.686 Colchester and Essex Bank, Withani and Essex Bank, and iladleigh Bank, Suffolk, Colchester —Mills, Bawtree, and Co Cornish Bank, Truro—Tweedy and Co, . 40,521 Coventry Bank, Coventry—Little and Wood cock - 8,520 City Bank, Exeter—Milford and Co 21,243 Craven Bank, Settle—Birkbecks and Co.
