Mr . Wilson ? aiJ that the increased importation Of wheat during the last two years nearly doubled tlu > increased importation of flour ; and he could not therefore see how an argument could be based on such a . state of things , tbat the miller must have been injured because of the large importation of ¦ wheat . After a few observations from Colonel Dusxe , Lord Kaas replied . > Ir . Macgregor attempted to address the house , but was prevented by their impatience for a division . Ttie house tben divided , and the numbers were—For the motion ., ft $ Against it 12 S—35 The remaining business was then disposed of , and he house adjourned .
WEDNESDAY , Jult 16 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The National Land Company Dissolving Bill was considered , and order « -d for a third reading , along with several other bills . Treatment of E . Jones . — Lord D . Stuart stated in tli < - house that he had been rcquesied by Sir 0 . Grey , owing to the serious indisposition of the laiur / to postpone his motion relative to the case of Mr . Ernest Jones , and that he acceded to the requ .-st . " ne at the same time give notice that he -would call attention to the case on going into Committee of Supply , and more for a return of all the ml * -, relating to Political Prisoners , from 1 S 10 and 1350 inclusive .
__ „ , _ , ' Tvucb Wjhbants . —Mr . T . Duxcombe asked on ¦ what authority the Police Commissioners allowed to ny metropolitan parish twenty-five per cent . < Ji-c « = nt for prompt payment on the police warrant ? Tho parochial officers of the parish of St . Mary ' 8 , Islington , bad issued a notice in which they stated that " in order to procure this discount , which amounted to £ 1 , 291 Os . 4 d ., they had been obliged to allow many tradesmen ' s bilisto remain in arrear , and they therefore reqnested the prompt payment of the rate in order that those accourit . 3 might be dis-harged . _ _
M-. BriuvERre said it was quite a mistake to call this allowance a discount . la the original Metropolitan Police Act , of George IV ., it was enacted that « be rate should not exceed 8 d . in the pound ; and by the subsequent act of the 3 rd and 1 th William IV ., o . 80 , it waa provided that if payment was zna-le bj any pariah of 3 d . in the pound every halfyear , within forty days after it was due , the Treasury should be authorised to allow the remaining fourth of the rate out of the consolidated fund . Mr Bashes moved that the petition of certain electors of Harwich , complaining of government interference at the last election for that borough , be referred to a Select Committee , and Lord J . Russsu . not opposing inquiry , the motion was ai-reed to . The Charitable Institutions Notices Bill and the Arrc-t of Absconding Debtors Bill passed through coi' -mutee .
Tin ! Charitable Purchase Deeds Bill was withdrawn , and the Coroners Bill was rejected . The house went int" committee upon the Law of Evidence Amendment Bill , the several clauses of -which were agreed to , after much discussion . Q : > the order that the Pharmacy Bill be committed . Mr . Henley suggested that the subject should be previously inquired into by a Select Committee next session . Mr . J . Belt , assenting to this course , the order was discharged . 1 The Local Acts ( Preliminary Inquiries ) Bill was read a second time ; and the Stock-in-Trade Bill wa 3 read a third time and passed .
The house then went into committee successively upon ttie Copyhold and Enclosure Commissions Bill , tho Victoria-park Bill , the County Courts Farther Extension Bill , and the Tithe Rent Charge Assessment Bill . The house adjourned at a quarter to six o'clock . rnuitSDAr . . icir 17 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Oaths of Abjoiiitiojc Jews Bill . —The Lord Chancellor moved the second reading of the above Bill . The title of the Jews to admission as legislators he rested upon their recognised position as British subjects , who ,
as such , were entitled to all the privileges , if only thej were able and willing to discharge the duties which society claimed from them in that capacity . "While submitting that the onus of proving that our Hebrew fellow subjects were in any way disqualified the noble and learned lord dwelt upon the length of time during which they had held , and the faithfulness with which they fulfilled various functions of the highest importance , ns magistrates on the bench , as civic authorities , as merchant princes , possessors of vast property , and wielders of enoricous social and political influence .
E irl Nelsok contended that neither the concession , nor the use of merely administrative powers , gave the Jews any riant to claim legislative functions . If this race were allowed to enter parliament without taking the Oath to respect and defend the Protestant Church , how could a formula of that tenor be required from Catholics or other Christian sects ? After briefly dissecting the arguments offered in defence of the bill by the Lord Chancellor , the noble lord moved that the second reading he adjourned to that day six months . Lord "Wodehodse propounded , and supported at some length , the maxim that civil privileges ought never to be made dependent upon religious belief .
The Bishop of Norwich apprehended that the resistance so often repeated against the measure disparaged the character of the country for Christian toleration ; and fearing no real danger from passing it , should vote in favour of the second reading . Considerable discussion followed , and after a reply from the Lord Chancellor , their lordships divided on the motion for the second reading of the bill : — Contents ... ... € 0 Proxies 48—103 Non-Contents 82 Proxies 62—144—36 The bill is consequently lost . After the declaration of the numbers on this division , tbeir lordships adjourned at a quarterpast ten o ' clock . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —In the House of Commons ,
Mr . Stbdtt took the oaths and his seat for the trough of Arundel , Harwich Election . —Mr . Ban'Ses moved that the general committee of elections be instructed to appoint a select committee , consisting of seven members , to investigate the allegations contained in a petition respecting the late election far the borough of Harwich . In this petition a complaint was made against the government of having interfered in that election , and it was due to tin ; character of the ministry that a full inquiry should be instituted into the circumstances of the case . Some discussion ensued , in the course of which Mr . CoBDE . vand other members opposed the motion , on the ground that inquiry was unnecessary , seeing the electoral character of the borough was wholly gone , and its inveterate corruption called for the summary infliction ot the penalty of disfranehiRfimpnt .
Mr . Disbaeli remarked that tho principal object for inquiry was not the purity of the Flarvrich . election , but the conduct of a government official . The house divided , and Mr . Bank ' s motion was Carried by a majority of S 2 to 80—2 . Sufflt . — On the motion for going into committee Of supply . Mr . Sergeant Muhphi , after a prolonged detail Of incidents tbat testified to the insufficiency of accommodation for vessels and steamers requiring repair at Hanlbowline , moved for the appointment of a committee of inquiry . Sir F . Basiss resisted the motion . A miscellaneous conversation terminated in a
division : For the motion 26 Against ... 104-78 Some observations by Mr . P . Miles , in defence of the Bishop of Gloucester , were followed by Mr . Horsuah , who entered into a minute examination of the oharges he had brought against that prelate , the speech made in his behalf by the Bishop of Oxford in another place , and the testimony whereon both the accusation and the defence were based , contended bis allegations were substantially -well founded , and his charges , as originally brought , remained unimpugned , except in aome unessential particulars . Mr . Gladbioxe defended the conduct of the Bishop of Gloucester .
Sir J . Graham , as a member of the Ecclesiastical Commission , stated that in all his transactions and negotiations with the Commissioners the Bishop of Gloucester had acted throughout with unvarying generosity and disinterestedness ; and he held out a prospect , amounting almost to a certainty , that when the persecution against him ceased , the bubo ? would , of Ms own accord , resign the disputed propert y to the Church , although he had ^ - ^ afcgal cWto it , » nd ™> w concede ZSit 0 DS as hls liWali * s ht be a "

In the course of the debate some strictures offered by Mr . Urquhart , elicited from Lord Palmeraton an energetic defence of the consular establishments , whose members the noble lord praised highly for intelligence and utility , and at the same time outlined a few propositions for future modificatioasaa-iretrenchment in thaiflenice .

[ From our Second Edition of last . iveeh ) FRIDAY , July 11 . npUSE OF LORDS .-Lord BnotoHAM , in presenting a petition from Mr . Paxtori praying that mean 3 should be devised to preserve tho Cmtal Palace , which the commissioners were now pledged to remove by a given time ; said he was desirous of supporting its prayer . . .. Lord Campdbli . stated many , objections to the perpetuation of the building . ' Lord Redesdalk presented some petitions , praying for a restoration of the system of convocation , anil said that he brought the subject under consideration with some hesitation , and therefore did so in a manner which would not pledge their lordships to any definite course .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The Court of Chancery and Judicial Committee Bill was , after a short discussion , read a third time and passed . The house then went into Committee of Supply , and occupied a considerable time with incidental discussions of successive votes upon the miscellaneous estimates . The vote of £ 150 , 000 for Educational purposes excited a prolonged and diffuse debate , in the course of which an announcement by Lord John Russell , that he trusted to effect the establishment of a
national system of education , was received with many expressions of approval from various hon . members .

FACTS AND INCIDENTS OP THE GREAT EXHIBITION . Thereceipta on 'Saturday amounted to £ 1 , 589 Ids ., and the police returns gave 11 , 181 persons as the number who visited the building . . On Monday £ 2 , 957 8 s ., was received at the doors of the Crystal Palace , which was visited by 62 , 694 persons . On Tuesday the unprecedented ^ large number of 74 , 122 persons visited the Crystal Palace , and £ 3 , 509 8 s . was taken in shillings at the doors . Notwithstanding this immense influx , consequent probably with the combined attractions at the Exhibition and the cattle-show at Windsor , which have brought swarms of people up from the country to " kill two birds with one stone , " the utmost good humour prevailed , and less inconvenience from overcrowding was experienced than might have been anticipated .
The receipts on Wednesday were £ 2 , 910 4 s ., the numbers of persons who visited the building being
60 , 626 . On Thursday the sum of £ 3 , 023 5 s . was taken at the doors , and according to the police returns 63 , 746 persons entered the building . Among the country visitors of the week have been a party of 160 labourers and their families from Osborne , at the entire expense of her Majesty . The directors of the Great Northern Railway Company nave given all their servants leave of absence for five days each to visit the Great Exhibiwith each a free pass over the company's lines , and permission to the married men to take their wives , and those not married to take a friend .
Among the new objects of special interest must be mentioned the coining machine of Messrs . Taylor , which is now daily at work , striking of commemorative medals of the Exhibition . Upon one side of the medals is Prince Albert , and upon the reverse the Royal arms . By an arrangement made with the Commissioners , the exhibitors are permitted to sell the medals—one-half of the gross receipts being handed over to the general funds . Among the articles looked at with envy is a drinking-glaas divided by a partition , and intended to be used for effervesoing powders , The soda is dissolved in one compartment , and the tartaric acid in the other , and by . applying the mouth to the place where the partition joins the outside of the glass , the two liquids oombine as they flow into the mouth , and effervesce as they are drunk ! The project of retaining the Crystal Palace as a
winter garden is rapidly gaining ground iu public opinion . The town council of Derby have supported their distinguished fellow-townsman by a petition . The Marylebone petition has already received 30 , 000 signatures , and similar demonstrations are progressing in other districts . A party , however , sm ; ill but active , is strenuously setting itself against the general feeling of the public . From being composed chiefly of the inhabitants of the houses on the opposite side of the road , who feel annoyed that regiments of omnibuses should daily pass "between the wind and their nobility , " it is called , in the gossip of the Crystal Palace the " Prince ' s Gate party , "' and its members are straining every nerve to get signatures to hostile petitions , but hitherto with very indifferent success . The following is the conclusion of the lengthy petition which Lord Brougham presented to tho House of Lords from Mr . Paxton : —'
That the advantages derivable from such an appropriation < -f the Crystal Palace would be many , and may be thus briefly summed up : — 1 . In a sanitary point of view Its benefits would be incalculable . 2 . By its various objects it would produce a new and soothing pleasure to the mind . 3 . The great truths of nature and art would he constantly exemplified . 4 . l ' eculiar facilities would especially be given for the development , on a large scale , of the sciences of botany , geology , and ornithology . 5 . A temperate climate would be supplied at all seasons . 6 . Taste would ! be improved , by individuals becoming familiar with objects of the highest order of art , and by viewing the more beautiful parts of nature without its deformities .
7 . Pleasant exercise could be taken at all . times , and in every variety of weather . . . 9 . It would serve »» a promenade or lounge , and as a place which could , at all seasons , be resorted to with advantage by the most delicate . In conclusion , yonr petitioner submits , as his opinion , that having such great public attractions , the Crystal Palace might be rendered self-supporting . The architect has also addressed a spirited and convincing letter to Lord Campbell , in reply to his lordship ' s statement in the House of Lords , that the building would need to be rebuilt , in order to fit it addition to bis
for permanence . In correcting lordship ' s misconception , Mr . Paxton says : — From the very commencement , when preparing my original plans of the building , my views were to make it in every way suitable to be appropriated to a permanent use , which fact I mentioned to Lord Brougham and many others ; the entire framework and strength of tbe structure , a 9 it now stands . Is , therefore , composed of wrought and cast iron fixed securely together , and firmly bedded in a concrete foundation , and , with ordinary attention to painting , this , the most important part of the edifice , will last for ages to come , with but little repairs of any kind being necessary .
Every column on Which the house rests is made of iron ; the intermediate ones in the exterior row are merely placed there for effect , and to divide the sashes , hut have nothiag to do with the support or stability of the building . V All the girders which form part of the framework and security of tbe structure are composed of vroognt and eastiron . There are some wooden girders , but they are only is traduced for effect . Of the permanence of wooden sashes and other woodwork , if kept properly painted and attended to , we have sufficient experience to be able to form a good opinion ; there are some hot-bouse lights ut Chatsworth which have at least been in constant for of 100 and
use upwards years , appear likely to endure for a long time to come . My estimate of duration for the fash and glasswork of the Crystal Palace is fifty years ; but , in my statement of expenditure , provision was made for a renewal every twenty-fire years ; however , with care and attention , ray belief is that 100 yean would be nearer the reality . The duration of woodwork depends very much upon its position , and the attention paid to it . We must not forget that many of our most enduring public buildings have wooden roofs ; for instance , Westminster-hall , Lincoln' > - inn-hall , and the dome of St . Paul ' s , all of which are still in excellent preservation .
In order to render tbe building as it now stands fit for a winter garden , considerable expenses must be incurred , an estimate of which I shall shortly be able to la ; befove the public ; but , without at this time entering into financial particulars , I am convinced that when once formed , the after expenses for maintenance could be easily sustained without a public grant , and that the terms of admission could be made such as to suit the position and wants of all classes of individuals .

Collingwood , of Cornwall House , North Durham , said t I received two Bank of England notes for £ 50 each , to the best of my belief on Thursday , the 17 th of last month , with directions to pay them over to William Law , at Edinburgh . I went to Edinburgh on that day , having the notes in my possession , and attended
the theatre that ni # ht . After I came out of the theatre I met two young women , and walked down Calton-hill with them , and one of them slipped her hand into my pocket and took out my purse . I recovered the purse , but tbe bank notes had disappeared . I saw the comrade of the girl who stole my purse stoop and pick up something , but could not say what it was . I do not know that I ever saw the prisoner at the bar before the present time . — Alderman Wire refused to detain the prisoner upon such testimony , but intimated tb <> t if the officer of the Edinburgh police , who attended upon the occasion , would produce a warrant for his apprehension , that authority nhould be backed , and the case might be regularly brought before the Edinburgh magistrates . —The Edinburgh officer declined the offer of the alderman , who then discharged the prisoner .
GUILD HALL . —Omnibus Exactions . —Herrington , a conductor of one of the Brompton omnibuses , was summoned for charging more than the regular stated fare . —Miss Ingledew , of No . 1 , Burleighstreet . Strand , said that on Monday , the 7 th July , accompanied by her sister , she got into defendant ' s omnibus at the end of Sloan 6-street , to come to the Bank , having previously asked him what his fare was . fle said , to the Bank it was four-pence . When they got down in the City , Miss Ingledew gave him a shilling , which he detained , and refused to give any change . She then proceeded to take his number , but his conduct was so disgraceful , that in her endeavour to obtain it she was thrown down in
the middle of the road . — Miss Mary Ingledew was with her sister , and beard defendant say the fare was fourpence to the Bank . —Mr . T . A . Green , a barrister , who witnessed defendant ' s conduct , on tho complainant expressing a desire to take his number , said that the defendant several times refused to show his badge . —Defendant alleged that he took complainant and her sister up about fifty yards on the other side of Sloane-street , and he was bound , in duty to his proprietors , to charge a sixpetmy fare . He denied having said his fare was only fourpence . —Mr . Green said they were in a groat measure deterred from summoning the con « ductor , on account of the trouble and loss of time
occasioned by having to go to Scotland Yard , the Excise Office , and this court . —Alderman Wilson said this was a most scandalous case , and he would fine defendant twenty shillings and costs , or in default of payment fourteen days' imprisonment , arid further suspend his license for three months . The worthy alderman said he wished it to be publicly known that , in all cases where parties had any complaint to make against omnibus conductors or drivers , if they would come direct to this court they would be relieved of all further incot-venietce , as the officers of the court would make all the necessary inquiries at the Excise Office and Scotland Yard .
Detaining a Buj , of Exchange . —Mr . Wilkinson , a commission agent , of 33 , Throgmorton-street , was summoned for illegally detaining a bill of exchange for £ . 100 , alleged to have been obtained under false pretences . —Mr . Parry stated that the complainant , Mr . Birch , a young man who had lately attained his majority , and who was grandson to tho lato Alderman Birch , heing entitled to a 9 um of money under his grandfather ' s will , at his father's death , and seeing an advertisement in a Sunday paper offering to advance money to the the amount of £ 300 , 000 upon good security , and directing parties to apply to Mr . Wilkinson , he called upon that gentleman for the purpose of negotiating a loan of £ 800 , which it was subsequently agreed should be advanced in eight instalments
within two years , upon the receipt of each of which Mr . Birch was to return to defendant £ 25 by way of commission . Tbe whole amount to be repaid in two and a half years , and instead of £ 800 he was to pay back £ 1 , 600 , just douile the amount . Mr . Birch , however , shortly after repented of his bargain , and wrote to the defendant desiring him not to raiso the loan , but defendant said he had began and must go on with it . Mr . Birch wrote again to the same effect , and then camo up to town and called on defendant , when he was induced by some means to sign an agreement for the loan . Mr . Birch , being in want of money at the time , asked defendant to let him have £ 50 on his acceptance , and gave him the bill in question for £ 100 . Mr . Birch never received one farthing upon it , and
defendant put it in circulation , and then said it waa given to him as a remuneration for his services in endeavouring to effect the loan in the first instance . —Alderman Wilson asked if there was any objection on the part of the defendant to give up the bill . — Mr . Macnamara , defendant ' s solicitor , said not the least , provided tbat Mr , Birch would withdraw the offensive terms made use of in advertising the bill , and pay defendant for his time and trouble in endeavouring to negotiate the advance of £ 800 . —Alderman Wilson wanted to know why any claim was made for expenses , when what defendant undertook was never performed . —Mr . Macnamara said that it was at Mr . Birch ' s request that the negotiation was broken off . —Alderman Wilson said he would rather see them arrange the thing amicably between them , for it was evident that there were faults on both sides . —Mr . Macnamara said he was quite willing to settle it , if Mr . Parry would
withdraw all tbe imputations he bad cast upon Mr . Wilkinson ' s character , and would put an advertisement in the papers retracting the terms already alluded to with respect to the obtaining of tho bill . —Mr . Parry said he could not do that . He was willing to withdraw everything he had said of an offensive character , and to publicly withdraw tbe words " illegally obtained" that appeared in the papers advertising the bill , and he thought that that ought to be sufficient . — It was subsequently arranged tbat the bill and all papers relating thereto should be given up , and that Mr . Birch should pay defendant £ 20 as a remuneration for his services . —Alderman Wilson then discharged the case , and recommended Mr . Birch , when he wanted money again , to go to the proper quarter , and not be led away by such- announcements as that which bad brought him there . dressed

reading a manual of devotion . He decoyed two of the children into a plantation , under pretence of telling them the names of the flowers ; and , having sat between them on the flower-beds , proceeded to commit the offence alleged against him . Suspecting that he wbb ohserved , he snatched up the child , who endeavoured to escape , and removed her further into the interior . The child struggled to escape , and her clothes were torn in the endeavour . The park keopur came up , with Mr . Barrett , just as prisoner was repeating the outrage , and took him into custody , when he assured them tbat he was a person of such moral and devout principles as to render him utterly incapable of committing such an offence , in confirmation of which he pulled out and exhibited a Prayer-book and two other religious publications . —Fined £ 5 , or to be committed for two months to the House of Correction , and also to find bail to be of good behaviour for six months .

Constantino , artificial flower merchant , 135 , Regent-street , was charged with having embezzled monies received on account of his employer to a large amount . —M . Constantine proved that the prisoner had been in his service for three years at a weekly salary of £ 2 . His business was to collect money , and to pay over each day all the money he collected . The prisoner a few days ago was absent from indisposition , and application having been made by one of the workwomen for an account presumed to be owing by Lilly Grey and Lady Howard de Walden , it was
then discovered th : it those accounts had been received by the prisoner some time back , and that he had never accounted for the money . The prisoner was charged with his delinquency , and he at once mado an unreserved confession of his guilt . The prisoner afterwards furnished a list of accounts he had collected and embezzled , which showed that the amount was not less than £ 300 , and tbat the offence extended . over three years .

A Hard Cask . —Ann Hicks , who will be remembered by a considerable portion of the public as the former bustling , burly keeper of the cake shop in the cottage in Hyde-park , was charged with selling eatables near the Crystal Palaoe . She now appeared woe-begone and shabby , bearing a basket of three-a-penny cakes . —Tbe sudden transformation in her condition had been effected by the Woods and Forests , according to her own statement , in this way : —Her grandfather about a century ago had the good fortune to assist in extricating George II . from the Serpentine , and as a reward for liia service he was permitted to have a stand in the p . irk . He kept this atand for sixty-nino years , and left it to her father , who had it for forty-nine years more . She came into possession of the stand ,
having attended it over since she was five years of a ^ e , some years Ago , and , as she said , she never earned a shilling anywhere else up to last November , she being now between forty and fifty years of age . In consequence of the length of time the stand had been established , her good charaoter , and the real service it afforded to ladies who might desire a glass of cool water in summer , Lord Lincoln about seven yews ago gave her permission to build the stone lodge at tho foot of the Serpentine , and to occupy it in the same manner as she had occupied the stand . The lodge cost her the whole savings of her life , £ 130 . la October last , having heard of tho intended erection of . the Crystal Palace near her lodge , she thought its proximity to the Exibition might be turned to account in
affording accommodation to ladies , and she drew up a petition to the Woods and Forests , which was signed by forty of her lady customers , setting forth her wishes . To hor surprise she received this answer : — " Lord Seymour has received Mrs . Hick ' s application , dated the 22 nd ultimo . As Mrs . Hicks is aware she lias been served with a notice to quit and deliver up possession of the place she occupies , Lord Seymour conceives the serving of that notice to . be an answer to her application . The Board have immediate occasion for her removal , and they can do nothing therefore to assist her in extending the accommodation of her present dwelling . Lord Seymour was prepared to recommend the board to maKe an allowance to Mrs . Hicks for house rent for a short period after her removal , in the event of
he ; complying with the notice served upon her . Of course , if tho board are driven to any expense in taking legal steps in dispossessing her , she must abide tho consequppces , Office cf Woods and Forests , Nov . 1 , 1850 . "—Notices were . immediately served on her , and she further received written orders from Lord Seymour and the Duke of Wellington , commanding her to quit the place . She dia not give up possession , and on the 11 th Mr , Mann , the surveyor , visited her and told her , if she did not go the commissioners would do nothing for her . She still kept possession , and a more peremptory notice was sent , to the effect that all persons who had stands in tho park were to be turned out , and that if she did not go away at once tho roof would be taken off and the place
pulled about her ears . In this extremity she wrote again to Lord Seymour , with , no better success . She was at last ejected , the lodge pulled don-n , and , in return for the money she bad expended in building it , the amount of twelve hiontba' lodging at 5 s . a week was given her . She applied for compensation for the materials of her house . Sixteen letters were written , but no notice whatever was tnken of them . Sho laid her case before the Queen , and she received this reply : — " Buckingham Palace . —Madam , —I « m directed bv Colonel Pliipps to express Uid Queen ' s regret that thi : very numerous pressing claims on her Majesty ' s private bounty prevent a compliance with
the request contained in your lotter of the 2 nd inat . —Your obedient servant , Doyno . C . Hell , — Mrs . A . llicka . "—She contrived to interest Lord Ashley in her case , but his interference procured her no benefit . In the extremity of her distress finding her money all gone , and starvation staving her iii the face , she got a basket : md a few cakes hoping to bo able to sell thorn , among her former customers in the park . She was then taken in tho very act , and brought to this court to be dealt witti according to law-Air . Hardwick had some diffi . cnlt . y in nwking hor underhand that it was an offence to sell cakes in the jiaj-k . If » ho woul . J promise never to do th « lilicpgain ho would dis-

A short conversation ensued , during which the prisoner stated that he had not sufficient money in his possession to get back to Colchester , and begged for a small loan upon hia watch , which he proposed to leave aa security , as he did not like either to sell or pawn it . Tho prosecutor then questioned him more closely respecting his acquaintance with Colchester , and soon discovered
that he knew little or nothing about the town or townspeople . He said , for example , that his brother , William Smith , was a voter in the parish of St . Mary-in-the-Kast , there being neither a parish nor a voter of that description . Eventually , Mr .
