Saturday, Jolt, 28. House Of Lords.—Thei...
SATURDAY , Jolt , 28 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Their lordships met at twelve o ' clock to forward bills . At two o ' clock tlie royal assent was given by commission to sixty-five public and private bills A conference was requested bythe Commons with reference to the amendments on the Irish P . or Relief Bill , which was granted . The amendments , as finally agreed to by the Commons , were received and ordered to be considered on Monday , and the house then adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS .- —This house met at two o ' clock ; a lengthened conversation took p lace _rcspecun-r thc precip itate march of leg islation during _lhelastfew davs . Mr . Beusal , Chairman of thc
Committee of Wars and Means , declared he was so overwhelmed as td be incapable of bestowing upon private bills the requisite degree of _vigilant attention ; Mr . Disraeli characterised the scenes which bad occurred through this haste as disgraceful ; Mr . A . GLIOMIY attributed the gush of bills at thc cud of the session to the obstruction created by "too much talk" at the beginning ; and Lord J . Russell delicately alluded to thc same cause , and to the number of amendments on the motions for goiug into supply ; whilst Mr . Disraeli , on thc other hand , protesting against restriction of debate , threw the blame upon the government , whose measures were ill prepared .
Sir J . Graham and Mr . Greene mentioned a practical example of the evils attending hurried legislation . On tliat day clauses had been introduced bv the other house into a railway bill which ¦ were the same , mutatis mutandis , as the abandoned Kailway Audit Bill , and the house was placed in thc dilemma of being _obliged to adopt the principle of that bill without discussion , or of rejecting the rail-• way bill , to the _r-rrievous injury of the parties . -Lord J . Russell , admitting the importance of this case , consented to advise the Crown to postpone theproro'nition until "Wednesday , in order that the subject mig ht be discussed on Tuesday . Affairs of Cevlq _* _-. * . —Mr . Baillie , chairman of thc Select Committee on Ceylon , then moved an
address for a Royal commission to inquire on the spot into the means taken for the repression of the late insurrection in that colony , lie stated the grounds on which the committee had thought it their duty to make this application—viz ., that neither thc minutes ofthe proceedings of the Council of Ceylon nor those of the courts-martial had been forwarded ; and there were , moreover , grave charges _ajpiinst the Governor , -which could not be _inqnire-1 iiito -without the prcsenee of witnesses now ia Ceylon . The committee , in these circumstances , the session being about to close , had instructed him to move for a commission to inquire on the spot . Lord J . Russell said , if tins commission was to inquire into the conduct ofthe Governor of Ceylon , with reference to "the means taken for the repression of the late insurrection , " it must tend to
• weaken nnd impair the authority of the Governor , -who could not carry on _thcaffairs of the colony with a grand inquisitor upon the spot , taking down the complaints of individuals against his conduct in an insurrection not put down without force and summary proceedings . Yery grave reasons could alone justify such a measure , and the governor should be first recalled , in order that he might be impeached and put upon his trial . The evidence taken by the Select Committee had not been reported ; the committee , therefore , asked the house to pursue this course blindly . A motion might be made next session / or a select committee ; or articles of impeachment might be preferred against Lord Torrington ; but tlie house should not adopt a course which would destroy the authority of the Governor , without knowing anything of the evidence upon which it -was founded .
Mr . Hume said the reason why the evidence taken hefore thc committee had not been produced was that the charges were so serious and the evidence " was partial , minutes and other official documents from Ceylon having been withheld . The Governor ought to be recalled and a commission issued ; it behoved the house , after what had occurred , to prosecute thc Inquiry and obtain full information . Mr . Hawes , Mr . V Smith , Mr . Disraeli , Sir J . W . H ogg , Lord HoinAM , Sir J . Graham , Mr . Law , Mr . Roebuck , Major _Blacsall , and thc Chancellor ofthe Exchequer took part in the subsequent discussion ; and Lord John Russell having intimited in the course ofthe debate that if Mr . Hume would
come forward next session , and move for a selec tcommittee , in order to lay on thc tabic ofthe house articles of impeachment against Lord Torrington , Le ( Lord John Russell ) would be prepared to meet the hon . member , but that he must decline assenting to the appointment of a commission which would have the effect of destroying the authority of the governor ofthe colony , without being attended "with any particular or " useful result * the house divided , when the motion was negatived by a majority of 57 , the numbers 33 to 90 . Lord J . Hcsseix then agreed , that if the committee should re-asseaiblc this day , and by a majority point out by name such witnesses as they desired to examine , steps should be taken to secure their attendance next session , when the committee should be rc-anpohited .
A motion of Mr . 'Home , that the evidence taken before the select cominitteo be laid before the house , was postponed . Thc house adjourned at half-past six o ' clock until Tuesdnv
MONDAY , Jdxt 30 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —West India Colonies . — _Eaul of _Uabkowbt , on presenting a petition from the Standing Committee of the West India Merchants and Planters , entered intoalengthened statement as to thc distress prevailing in the West India colonics . Thc petitioners urged upon thc house the necessity of taking steps for the promotion of an _iin-reaseil _uuimgi-atlon of natives of-Africa , into these colonics , and suggested the propriety of extending ihe period of contracts for labour . They also prayed that the tonus of the loans of last year to these colonics might bo modified , and further assistance advanced to thein on the credit of the mother countrv .
Earl Gket stated tbat hc could not hold out any encouragement to the hope tbat the conditions for the advance of money under the loan of lass year ¦ would be modified . He was also _sati-sfied that tho extension of the period of contracts for _labonr would ultimately prove injurious to the West Indian colonies . _BmnEHr at Election Bill . —Lord Milford moved the second reading ofthe Bribery at Elections BilL Lord Staxlet opposed the motion on the ground that the _uic-isure was most objectionable , both in principle and detail . It inflicted the most severe penalties npon a poor voter who niight take a xrifling bribe , -while the wholesale corrupter almost entirely escaped , lie moved , as an amendment , that the bill be read a third time this day three mouths .
Earl Gret did not agree in the view taken of the bill by Lord Stanley , but he thought ii ought not to he pressed during the present session ; he therefore trusted it would be withdrawn . After some observations from Lord Brougham , the amendment was adopted . _Navigation Laws . —Lord _Wiiaiixcliffe asked -whether there would be any objection to place on thc table copies of any communications which may have passed between her Majesty ' s governnicnt and the governments of foreign powers m consequence
of tue passing of the , bill for the Repeal of thelfavigatioa Laws . He conceived it to be the bounden duty of the government of this country , before it carried into effect such large concessions as were made by that act , io take steps to secure something like correspondent advantages to this country . Perhaps this demand ought not to be made as " a matter of right , but he believed that much might be done by negotiations , and certainly the government should make every exertion to obtain this desirable -object .
The Marquis of Lassdowxe said that it was impossible for the government then to present any detailed information on the subject . The period which had elapsed since the passing of the bill had _Tieen so short , that her Majesty ' s government had not been able to make any progress in negotiations -with foreign powers with respect to reciprocity , or - rather an approach to reci procity . The government hadjiot lost si g ht of the subject , and many communications had already passed with various parties previous to representations being made to foreign powers . Lord _Bno-coni-H gave notice of his intention f o bring forward this day a motion respecting the more accurate preparation of hills , as well as the mode in ¦ which they were now passed _through both houses of _-parliament . Irish Poor Law . —The Marqnis of _Laxsoowxe then moved that the house agree to tbe Commons '
amendments in the Lords" amendments on the Poor Belief ( _L-elaed ) BilL Lord MosiEiGLE felt it to be his duty to propose ihat their lordships do not agree with the Commons ' amendments in the 16 th clause , by which arrears of -poor-rates might hc recovered in the superior courts , and if jndgment was obtained the land upon which they were chargeable might be seized and sold without the previous permission ofthe Poor Law _Commissionerfi , as was reqaired at present . He should not propose " that their lordships insist npon their amendments in the other clauses ofthe bill . _*\ \ f - on o conversation , in tho course of which _tneiiarquisof _Laxsdowxe stated that the adoption of the amendment would , iu his opinion , be fatal to thc bill in the House of Common--fl , _» _, i ? _-. 0 CGn _f ' who had ' previously supported _Sv-SX ' ' 6 Cojninea _^ that ft should be

a conventional armistice between Denmark an Prussia . The house then adjourned at half-past nine o ' clock . The House of Commons did not sit . TUESDAY , Jult . 31 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Oraxge Outrage . — The Earl of Rodex made an exculpatory statement respecting the late homicides at Dolly ' s Brae in the county of Down , which went to show that he had been influenced on that occasion by a desire to promote peace . The Marquis of _Laxshowxe declined to pass any opinion on the statement of the noble Earl until the inquiry into the circumstances connected with the affray had terminated .
Some other business was also despatched , and their lordships adjourned till half-past two o ' clock on Wcdncsdav . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —In this Ilouse which met at twelve o ' clock , thc discussion of the audit clauses inroduccd by thcllouse of Lords into thc York , _Newcastle , and Berwick Railway _Amalgamation Bill was anticipated by a motion , founded upon the merits ofthe bill , that the Lords' amendments be considered that day three months , which was carried , upon a division . __ The Lords' amendments upon various public bills were considered and agreed to . Mr . Hume then brought forward again the much agitated question of the claims of the Rajah ofSattara , which gave rise to discussion , and ended in nothing , thc house being counted out shortly after four o ' clock .
_WEDNESDAY , August 1 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Their lordships met at half-past two o ' clock , and after disposing of some preliminary business and giving thc Royal assent to a large number of bills by commission , The Marquis of _Laxsuowxe then read the following speech : — H y Lords and Gentlemen , "We have it iu command from her Majesty to inform you , that tbe state of public b usiness enables her to dispense "with your attendance in Parliament , and to close the
present session . Her Majesty has directed us to express her satisfaction with the zeal and assiduity with which you have discharged the laborious aud anxious duties inthe performance _ofjvhich you have been occupied . Her Majesty has given her assent to the important measure you have passed to amend the _^ Navigation Laws , in full confidence that the enterprise , skill , and hardihood of her people will assure to them a full share of thc commerce of the world , and maintain upon the seas the ancient renown of this nation _. Her Majesty has commanded us to acquaint you , that "the friendl y character of her relations with foreign Powers affords her a just confidence in the continuance of peace .
The preliminaries of peace between Prussia and Denmark have heen signed , under the mediation of her Majesty , and her Majesty trusts that this convention may prove the forerunner ofa definitive and pennauent treaty . Her Majest y ' s efforts will continue to he directed to promote the restoration of peace in those parts of Em-ope in wliich it has been interrupted . Gentlemex of the House of Commons , "We are commanded hy her Majesty to return you her thanks for the provision which you have made for the public service .
The public expenditure has undergone considerable reductions within the present year , and her Majesty will continue to apply a watchful economy in every branch of the public service . M y Lords and Gentlemen- , We are commanded by her Majesty to congratulate you on the happy termination of the war in the Punjaub . The exertions made hy the Government of India , - and the valour displayed by the army in the field , demand her Majesty ' s warmest acknowledgments . Her Majesty has observed with gratification the spirit of obedience to the laws which has been manifested by her subjects , during the period whicli has elapsed since her Majesty last addressed her Parliament .
It is the characteristic of our Constitution that , it renders thc maintenance of order compatible with the fullest enjoyment of political and civil liberty . The satisfaction writh-whicli her Majesty has viewed the peaceful progress of her people in arts and industry has been greatly alloyed by the continuance of severe distress in one part of the United Kingdom . Her Majesty has observed with pleasure your liberal exertions to mitigate the pressure
of this calamity , and her Majesty commands us to thank you for your unremitting attention to measures calculated to improve the general coudition of Ireland . It is her Majesty ' s fervent hope that it may p lease the Almighty Disposer of Events to favour the operation of those laws which have been sanctioned hy Parliament , and . to grant to her Irish p eople , as the re-Ward of that patience and resignation with which they have borne their protracted sufferings , the blessings of an abundant harvest and of internal peace .
The commission for the prorogation of Parliament was then read . The Marquis of Lansdowne : My lords and gentlemen—By virtue of hor Majesty ' s commission under thc great seal to us and other lords directed , and now read , we do , in her Majesty ' s name , and in obedience to lier commands , prorogue Parliament to Tuesday , the Oth day of October next , to be then here holden , and this Parliament is accord _, ingly prorogued to Tuesday , the Oth day of October next . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The Speaker read the answer of the Governor-General of 1 Mia to the thanks of the house , voted on the 21 th of April , to himself , Lord Gough , and the army which took part in the wars of the Punjaub .
Mr . Hawes , in reply to Mr . Hume , stated , with respect to granting a responsible government to the Cape of Good Hope , that the subject was under consideration with a view to carry out that object . Tho hon . member also , at the instance of Mr . M . Milnes and Mr . Hume , stated the circumstances under which the Governor of Malta had felt himself compelled to limit the number of refugees from Sicily and Italy landing in that island . Lord Palmerston replied to Lord Nugent on the subject of General Haynau ' s proclamation that it was unnecessary for him to say her Majesty ' s government , in common with everybody else , had read that proclamation , as it appeared in the newspapers , with the deepest pain . Hut , as the government were not in possession of any information on the subject , it was impossible for him to say whether it were genuine or not .
Lord Nugent desired further to know whether , if the proclamation should turn out to be genuine , the government would interpose its good offices , or its authority , if necessary , to stay the perpetration of such horrrors . Lord _Paiaiebstos answevad that the govermnent must reserve to themselves a legitimate discretion to act as they might think fit under the circumstances , when they came officially before them .
The order ofthe day for resuming the adjourned debate on the Sunday Trading Bill having been discharged , Sir Augustus Clifford , the Gentleman Usher of the Black Bod , appeared at the table , and desired the attendance of the honourable Members in the House of Lords to hear two several royal commissions read ; one for giving the royal assent to certain bills , and the other for the prorogation of the present Parliament .
"Whereupon the Speaker , followed by the honourable Members present * left the house to attend in the House of Peers , and , after an absence of about three-quarters of an hour , returned . The Speaker then read the speech at the table of the house , the Members standing around uncovered . This ceremony concluded , the right honourable gentleman shook hands with the Members , aud the session terminated a few minutes before four o ' clock .

To The Chartists Of Great Britain. Brot ...
TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Brot her . Democrats , —We are compelled to _a-rain appeal to -you in behalf of the wife _andfamUy of Dr . M'Douall ,-who has for the last eleven years devoted his time and money to the advocacy ofthe people ' s rights , and is now suffering imp risonment in a felon ' s cell for his devotion to the sacred cause of liberty . Surely , ifc is the duty of those for whom he has _struggled to alleviate his sufferings as far as in their power lies . The Doctor says , "For himself he cares not , were his family only provided for ; " which , we are sorry to say , they are not ' for they are often destitute of the common
necessaries of life—a fact which renders the Doctor ' s imprisonment doubly severe . The Committee in Liverpool for managing Mrs . _M'Douall ' s affairs , started hor in business in March last , hoping that what she received from the country , together with the profits arising from the shop , would enable her to support herself and children . Unfortunatel y , the remittances from the country are " like angelsvisits , few * and far between ; " and we are sorry to add that , in the way of business , the support has not been equal to the unavoidable outlay , Difficulties , consequently , press upon the Doctor ' s family , and their circumstances urgentl y demand immediate assistance .
Hoping Dr . _M'DoualFs friends will make au effort in behalf of his wife and children , we are , your faithful brother democrats , The Committee , Daniel Cameron , Sec . 45 , Portland-street , Liverpool . Money orders to be made payable to the Treasurer , Andrew M-Fee , No . ( J , Augustinestreet , Martin-street , Liverpool . We add to the above appeal the following letter from Dr . M'Douall , received by a friend in Liverpool : —
Dear Sib , —It would be a very weak acknowledgement of the services you and the memhers of the committee have _ronflered my family , to offer you a string of idle compliments and empty thanks . 1 shall always estimate such kindness and attention more than I shall express the natural feeling in language . I regrot . that such a duty should have fallen upon the few , because it clearly belongs to the many . I have claims upon the Chartist body , and upon the working men , of more than a common character . I did not hesitate to expose the horrors of the factory system , and the poor law ; nor did I for a moment estimate the cost of becoming the people ' s advocate , when the great remedy of all
remedies—the Charter—was first agitated . I have evidence , by accounts , drafts , bills of sale , and bankbooks , to prove an expenditure of upwards of £ 1 , 000 . in hard cash , during the years 1838-39-40 . I ha ve suffered imprisonment twice—exile once—and endured the privations ofa wandering , houseless lecturer , uuring a period often years . I have sacrificed time that mig ht have been more profitably employedhealth , that ought to have reaped a better rewardand talent , that might have secured a far higher and more lasting remuneration . I have Spared neither property , person , nor family . I have been unjust to myself , negligent to my children , and forgetful of private duties , that I might concentrate all upon
the people . ' What is my reward ? I have been betrayed by my own party—sacrificed by pretended friends—persecuted by malevolent manufacturers —and deserted by the whole people , always excepting from them the principled few—the just and generous minority . What had I to expect ? I think the very least the people ought to have done to my family , and to those of all political prisoners , should have been to afford tbem half the income they would receive , or might receive , if all wero at liberty . In justice , every family should . be maintained in full income , just as if the chief breadwinner was at home . But tbat would defeat the intentions of tho persecutors , whom many of the Chartists— or so-called Chartists — have basely served , and now
as basely assist in punishing the families oftho prisoners . lithe Chartist body are so sparing of tlieir purse , why should not all of us be the same ? If they arc so careful of their personal liherty , why should not we entertain the same feeling ? If they will do nothing , dare nothing , pay nothing for liberty ,-why should we make any sacrifice , suffer any inconvenience , risk any loss ? If they respect their families , love tlieir children , prefer their quiet homes , why should not wc do the same ? Are wc not all men ? Have we not all like feelings ? In short , if selfishness is to bo the rule amongst the Chartists , and niggardly aid the law , why should not we be equally selfish and fully as chary as they ? I have never made a parade of sacrifices , or a loud outcry about punishment * but I can form an opinion as well as any man , and make a resolution better
than most men . * # # * There needs but a will—a tax on each localityand an equal share of necessary duties , or privations , to effect what is absolutely required to be barely merciful to the sufferers . I hope you will make this determination public as soon as possible , so that the Chartist body may come up to the test of honesty . Let them be consistent . Yours , very truly , Kirkdale , July 25 th , 1840 . P . M , M'Douali .,

Shrewsbury, July 27. The Alleged Matrici...
SHREWSBURY , July 27 . The Alleged _Matricidi _; . at Bridgsorth . — Mercy Catherine Ncwion was indicted for the wilful murder of Uer mother , Ann Newton , at Bridgnorth , on thc oih of December last . Our readers will remember that at the last Spri _' _.-g As _* izes for Shropshire this case was tried at great length , and the jiiry , after being locked up for nearly twenty hours , were discharged without agreeing to a verdict . The prisoner was now put upon her trial again , and the court was crowded . Mr . Whitmore and Mr . Phillimore were counsel lor the _prosecution , and Mr . _Huddleston- - - and Mr . Rupert Ketile for the
prisoner . At the commencement of the proceedings Mr . Huddlestone took an objection to the rtcord , on the ground that the prisoner havii g been once tried , the jury had been discharged without coming to a decision . — After hearing Mr . Whitmore ¦ in tliis point , Mr . Baron Rolfe sent for Mr . was , Justice Erie , to _cons- > It him , and the result that the record , with some sli ght amendment , was sufficient , and thc trial should proceed , 'lhe indictment was then read . It contained ten counts , varying the charge as to the modes in which death was alleged to h _** ve been inflicted , namel y , b y suffocation , strangulation , burning , pressing , & c . The prisoner pleaded "Not Guilty . "—Mr . Whitmore then proceeded to state the case for the prosecution ,
afcer which be called—Mary Corfield , who stated that she lived in the service of Mr . Dyer , of Bridgnorth , in whose service the-prisoner also lived ; witness slept in Mr . Dyer ' s bed-room-, on a sofa , as he was not able to a tend to himself ; the prisoner usually slept in the next room ; tier mother was in the habit of coming to Mr . Dyer ' s house . On the night stated the witness said she left the prisoner and her mother iu the kitchen , after tbey had partaken of bread and cheese and ale for supper , and a little rum and water after . Witness had fetched a quartof rum during the day . About two o ' clock in the night she was awoke by Mr . Dyer , and found the room full of smoke . She rushed down stairs and went out at the kitchen door to Mr . Doughty ' s , whom she alarmed .
Mr . Doughty came , witness coming soon after , ail the time no * seeing the prisoner or her mother . Some time after that she found the body of deceased on the brcwhouse step , " a charred mass . " A surgeon was sent for , and Mr . Colley at ' -snded . The prisoner was wet and singed . The sofa and chair covet' were burnt ; four pairs of sheets wee also burnt ; a quantity ofdrippiug and grease , which had been in a butter boat and bottle were also consumed ; the kitchen door and passage were covered with water ; ihe prisoner appeared to care little about what had happened . After the prisoner was taken into custody _, witness found a carving knife under tbe cushion of thc chair in the kitchen , and a shawl wrapped up in it . On the Sunday foUowing Mrs . Doughiy pointed out some footmarks in . oil upon the kitchen floor
The witness here detailed various expressions made use of by the prisoner towards lier mother , of a most shocking and unnatural kind , _expres-iive of a wish for lier speedy deith . —The witness underwent a lon « - and _searching cross-examination by Mr . Huddleston , in the course of which she said she was not a married woman , but had had one child . She denied having used any expressions of ill-feelings towards the prisoner . She admitted she had bad money ft oni the Messrs . Doughty , and added _tUat she h > d been unable to _* _^ obtain service in consequence of the excitement arising at Biidgn-irth out of this case . The examination of this witness , together with the legal arguments as to the former trial , occupied the court till a quarter past six o ' clock , at whicli time the proceedings were adjourned .
July 28 . This morning a number of witnesses were examined , the principal portion of whom were medical men , who differed considerably as to whether the deceased was really dead before her body was burnt or whether her death ensued from burning and suffocation combined .-After an ingenious speech from Mr . Hiiddtestone on behalf ot the prisoner . Mr . Baron Rolfe summed up , and the jury were eveutua ylocked _^ p _, Mr . Baron Rolfe remaining hi court tm nine o clock at night to receive their verdict , at which hour he received an intimation from them that there was no likelihood of their agreeing that night , They were accordingly locked up . .

Chad ' s , and shortly before one the court was once more opened , and in afew minutes crammed in every part by the anxious multitude , who surrounded the Court-house and _^ _rrZching _tbTnMl
from an e * rly hour in the morning . At one o ' clock Baron Rolfe and Justice Erie entered the court in their robes . The prisoner was again placed at the bar , and the jury sent for . They entered the _bwj bearing evident traces of exhaustion in their countenances , and having answerea to their names , intimated they had not agreed to their verdict . —Mr . Clement , surgeon , was *« hen sworn , and in reply to liaron Rolfc ' s questions , deposed : " I have attended Mr . Massey , < _-neof the jurors , and given him medicine , but 1 am of opinion that the time has arrived when his confinement longer would be dangerous to his life . - _'— Baron _R'lfe : Gentlemen , is there any likelih ood of your agreeing ?—Foreman : No , my lord . —Baron Rolf e : That is , there is no reasonable
probability ol vour agreeing _ouymir vird ct ?—Foreman : Not the shadow , mv lord . —The Baron : Then , gentlemen , you are _discharged . Goaler , 'let the _pris- 'iiei * remain in custody , —The court then _adjourned , and thus a second time terminated the trial of this most unprecedented case , in which a coroner's jury were discharged without a verdict , and two assize juries also , after confinements of twenty and seventeen hours' duration , tbe conclusion of tvbich witnessed the novel scene of a court of justice sitting on a Sunday , and both judges in the commission proceeding from the altar to the bench to discharge a jury . July 30 .
At the opening of the court this morning Mr , Phillimore . on the part of the croivn , having declared lis int . ntion to i _* . ut the _pris-mer on her trial a third time , Mr . Huddlestone put in au affidavit and made an application for a postponement of the trial until tbe next assizes , to which his _lbrdshif ) assented . . It having been rumoured that Mr . Justice Erie would try her this morning , the court was much crowded . Perjury . —Samuel Adams , aged 25 , a beer-seller , was indicted for having , on the 9 th of February last , at a County Court , holden at the parish of Wallington , before Mr . Uredale Corbet , committed wilful and corrupt perjury . Mr . Huddlestone appeared for the prosecution , and Mr . riiillimore for the defence . It appeared that a brother-in-law of the prisoner , named Thomas Lloyd lladcn Jones , gave his promissory note for £ 19 to one Sarah Sankey , and that the prisoner signed his name as thc _attestin _« r witness . Sarah Sankey sued Jones on the note
in the County Court , and was obliged to call the defendant , tlie attesting witness , who denied that ho had seen it executed , or that the signature ofthe attesting witness was in his writing . The plaintiff was therefore nonsuited , or , in p lain language , lost her suit , and then instituted this prosecution . The facts above stated were clearly proved . The defence was , that what hc had said was true , and he instructed his counsel to call witnesses in support of this position , but the first one called , who was a very respectable looking young woman , " on cross-examination , so palpably foreswore herself , tliat liis counsel refused to call another or have anything moro to do with the case , and he waa convicted by the jury without any hesitation ; and , in consequence of the shocking and aggravated nature of his crime , he was sentenced to one month ' s imprisonment , with hard labour , arid , at the end of that time , to seven years' transportation .. This sentence seemed to take him entirely by surprise , and he burst into tears .
