TO DANIEL O ' COSNELL , ESQ ., M . P .
&r , t—No very material change has taken place in yonr position anee I last addressed yon , save and exeept ihexieh token that yon Bare received of Irish confidence , and the large refresher given to yon for increased exertion . And I think , Sir , that I may take the opportunity which has jnst presented itself of , at one and the same time , making a comparison between yonr situation and mine , and of replying-to another of yonr charges against me and some of the Chartist leaders , to the effect that we were in the pzy of the Tories , Jest as I was reading . the gratifying' mkSEgenoe of your pecuniary prospects for the present year , and your ability to purchase
delay , from the proceeds of a national contribntion , I wss presented with a . Bill of Costs amounting to £ 569 9 s . 2 d . for & Tery Ehort period , —in addition to many other BQls of Costs which 1 have also paid , independently of traTelling and other expence ? , —at the suit of the Crown ; and I beg to asssnreyon , Sir , that while yon can draw npon an Hxcheqner "where yonr drafts will he hononred , the C&rhon Chib-would be the Tery last sortree from whence I would be able to ensure the means of paying those Expences imposed npon me by a Tory Government . Bat no more of that , Sir . I merely mention it as a angle item of Chat persecntion xo wiich I have been exposed by a Tory Government on ihe one-Ji&nd , ftQd by yonr nsjnst insinuations , ob the other .
I shall now refer to-jrha ; I consider the most important question for yonr consideration at the present moment . As long ago as Jane last I told you that the Irish Arms Bill would be the signal for transferring the power ef the Executive into the hands of the Irish Orange faction . TTiiat law came into operation s fortnight since ; and from the simultaneous demand of the Orange party for more troops , whether regular , mih ' tia or yeomen , to protect the Irish Protestants , yon may learn that , as I predicted , ihe Irish Atdb Bill would be the standard Tonnd which the Protestant party would rally , not only to secure Protestant ascendancy , bnt also -to ensure a market for Protestant butchers . The
Berlin fees may or may not hsrre been demonstrations of yonr triumph over the cantanktrous Attorney-GeceraL If they were intended as snch , they were not only justifiable , but praiseworthy The faction srould have triumphed over Ireland ; and why should Ireland net triumph over them ? But before I answer the charge of concert and conspiracy , of which the English < Cory press assert those demonstrations to be proof , I would now caution you against permitting their continuance ;
and for this reason : no farther demonstration can be required of Irish devotion to their eonntry ' B eanse than has been already unmistakably manifested by the whole people ; while they furnish the Tery best trap fbr leading the vmarmed peoplt into a Conflict in the dead hoar of the night with their aimed assailants . Therefore , if £ hoss nocturaai fflnminaiiofts aie to be continued , let them nencefbrih be the sport of faction , TSther than illustrative « f national feeling .
Depend npon it , Sir , that whatever precaution yvu take , those 5 res w 31 nevertheless be con tinned as a means of arousing the Protestants and the Government to a Eenss of their duty ; and yon should caution the people against even attending those fires ; and for this reason : the times are coming when nightly domiciliary Tisits will ba made to the poor man ' s hovel ; and when to be absent , inred by a sop of straw or "furze bash , " fit by some Protestant yeoman seeking employment , may subject iheTictim to transportation , or some severer punishment ; while a saDgainary conflict may lead you , in
ignorance of the real cause , to the fulfilment of your thxat to abandon the -people . * For these ressons it becomes yoar duty to dissuade the people-from the continuance of such a practice . I presume that jon are thoroughly acquainted with the mode and manner in which evidence is got up by the Grown whereon to ground an application for powers btyoad the law : but as a few facts which have come to my own knowledge mav be serviceable , tven to you , I Ehall here relate them . In the recess of 1833 , after the Iriih Coercion Bill had been enacted by the Whigs npon the testimony of policemen , police Serjeants , and
police eoiDXcisFioEer ? , the following fact came to my knowledge , and cn&er the folio-wing circumstances . Yonr present Secretary , Jlr . O'Neill Daunt rode to my hou ? e . Shortly after his arrival , my preserce was required at Conakilty ; and I said to him , ** Daunt , as my horses sre TratcreJ , 1 * 21 ride jour ' s to Giomakslty ?* ¦ to -srHeb bs assented . Oa my way , the horse snunbled and fell upon me , and so far L-jured me , that I was obliged to hobble up to the house ot Captain DaTis , a friend of mine , who very kindly Eent me home in > . I 3 gig , driven by ope of his servants . Upon ihe road the following conversation occurred . Ths man waB aware that I had
been tried in 1 S 32 , in . C ^ rk , upon charges ansrog out of the Tithe agitation ; and he said to me , ** I hope and trust in God , ycur honosr will take care what you do for the future ; for believe me ^ you have a power oT enemies against you . " I replied , " I know 1 have , but I'll bfat them all . " " You might , " he rejoined , ** if you knew them ; but you don ' t . " 1 asked jjim what he meant 1 and the man wept and said , "Ism ashamed to teli jour honour . " However lie did tell me ths following story : —" God knows , its little I thought -when I -was forced to turn out one night , that Ifc would be the means
of injuring jou or Ireland ; but I was foolish and didn ' t think . During the Tithe agitation , I lived with Captain S , and one day after dinner Msjor s and some other-gentlemen who were stopping at the house , had me sent for ; and we all had our faces blacked , and went ont ia the conntry to several houses , and took arms and - powder whereever we could find them , and money in some cases is buy more ; and we swore them to be true to the cause , and to abolish the tithts . " I asked the man
why he had not communicated those facts to a magistrate ! and his answer was , that "ie might as well ; ihoot himself j for he would never get another plaee , if he betrayed , the gentlemen . " I then asked him if he would swear to ihe facts and give evidence , if 1 assured him protection ! He told me hs would . ; 2 communicated the whole affair to Mr . Littleton , , the then Irish Secretary , and asked Mm to proseente j ihe parties , and to ensure the man protection ; but ; with him it has rested np to the present moment . i
I need not dwell further npon this ease ; but shall now put you in possession of a circumstance that occurred in 1823 , daring the Wiiteboy note . A Bun of the ni » e ef Febees , whe w * b known to have ajrivate still , received a Irtfc « - « gn « d " Seek , " «<« Banding bin , under severe penalties , to Meet * Obtain Bock" at a given place , upon a certain Bight , with two gallons of " EingBoff ? , * ' OT "Ure * efcat , " » hlrii mesas the besi description oi illicit * &&j . Peheen obeyed the order , but took the prettution to lake a neighbour with him ; and to his astonishment , he recognised the Captain of a YeoEinry Corps in the person of Captain Bock . I Dow pass on to ttitsidtr whether or so those signal Swa furniiii spy prooil of eoncm . n conEpir&cy .

When I was returned for the County of Cork , in 1832 , & man named Ceghl&n , whose family had lived for several generations under my family , said : "By Jasus Mr . Fargas , but 111 go and set the eountry oa fire . " I knew perfectly well what he meant . He went to a cabin and procured a spear , like a pike with a lonjr handle , commonly used for searching for bog timber . He put a Email bundle of lighted ftjxzs ob the Fpear . and stood on a hill j and in less than twenty minutes , the whole country appeared in a blaze , which spread lhreijghoat the County of Cork , and to Kerry and Limerick , without any understanding or concert whatever ; and I . will . venture to assert , that any man anxions for Euch amusement , can , of himself , on any night of the year , produce the Tery same spectacle in Ireland .
I mtntion these things firstly , to set you thiniing ; and secondly , to tiis&ra those who would make such occurrence a pretext for the further Coercion of Ireland . Meantime , Sir , neither slumber , nor be deluded ; for rely upon it , that you havb a vindictive and revengeful faction in the field , and party in the Cabinet to deal with : neither of whom will be satisfied with anything short of your total destruction JLrgue you not kk > favourably from the law ' s delay . Be assured that its Tijpour will not be lelaxtd , aor its hold upon yon loosened . We have already seen
the apparent change produced in the temper of the Attorney-General after his consultation with Sngden ; but we have seen nothing to lead us to a belief that he has abandoned any portion of hia project . Believe not , Sir , that the naval and military array is not intended to facilitate the collection of poor-rates ; while even was it so , the Orange faction wonld not allow yon to separate resistance to poor rates from Repeal agitation . B = lieve me when I tell you that the GuverBment will attempt to persuade all moderate men , all sensitive men , all timid men , and all interested men , that your destruction i 3 indispensable to the tranquilky of Ireland j while they cannot meet Parliament without beiiyr able to give a better account than total defeat in the Queen ' s
Bench , increased contributions , and increasing enthusiasm as a-Bet-off against the alarm , anxiety , expenditure and risk incurred in the suppression of the Repeal agitation . 1 shall not now further trespass upon you than once more to implore you to take ycur own position into your most serious consideration ; and while you are fencing with the law , be prep&red to meet the next step , which will be the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act , if you beat the Government : and to justify which the Orange faction will get up a riot of their own , by concert and oonEpiracy , which they would be better paid for keeping secret than divulging : for believe me that the very same spirit whica actuated those ruffians in 1798 is still to be found amongst their representatives of the present
dsy-I learn iba-: our Griffin , who swore against tha Chartists at Lancaster , is one of the witnesses to be produced against you ; butvou may rely upon it that the Tosr Cbjlbtists of Manchester will take good care to send a deputation to recognise him , in order that our friends , the Tories in Ireland , should not u ran the back" npon yon nnder another

Mt Feiesdb , —You have now had time to deliberate Tipon the address of the ExeculiYe , published in lasi week ' s Star . Since then I haye been to Leeds , and witnessed the most cheering and inspiring revival of Chartism in that once apathetic town tovra . The Chartist * hare taken the largest hall in England , for vrtiieh they pay sisty guineas a year ; and ia jn 3 tiee to the leaders , I may say , that never was there a more raited band . . You Tfill see an aceauat of the proceedings for the two glorious nighrg in this "week ' s Star .
Two of your Executire have started on their mission You have read onr pn jcet ; we wait your response , in order that nine oihers may ba added to the agitating corps . Tso whole expense of your machinery , Executive and all , will then amount to no more than £ 15 103 a-week ; while the weekly subscriptions paid by the number of members that I have enrolled myself , would amount to between £ 8 and £ 9 of the money . If yon impose duties upon us and require the fulfilment of them , we have a right to demand the full performance of your own duties ; while not a single locality , with the exception of Coventry . haB transmitted the ona-foerth
of their weekly colleciious to the Executive . I now call upon yon-by Ell that is sacred , by all that is righteous , and by all that is dear toyou , to arouse , and by your exertions enable the Executive so to perform their duties as will ensure the success of your cause . Yob have bo rixht to impose duties upon men and to withhold from them the mean 3 of dischMging those duties . The Executive seek not to touch your local fund ?; but they demand their own share as & righ- ' ; while I think that my long standing and perseverance , and unremuDera'ed services justify me in makiog this appeal to yourselves upon your own bfchalf .
ISow , working men , i have never deceived you ; and trust me that if you enable na to prosecntfl our object by the moderate contributions we require , you ¦ will gee Cbarti 3 m in such a position when the forthcoming Contention mtet 3 as it never occupied before . asow THfcy to the woEK . In one day Irishmen ^ an subscribe £ 40 , UUU ; white every week they cheerfully contribute bs ; wcen a thousand or two tbou ? aud tOWardB the SUiiUort of their e&ase j -and , more than thai , ibfcrB aie few towns in England ¦ wberbiu the few Irish resident in each town do not of themselves contribute more than you are called upon to furnish as a nation to carry on ; yonr own principles . It would be insulting to say moTe . than merely to remind yon that CHaRTI&M REQUIRES EVERY MAX 10 DO K 1 S L » Di Y . Your faithful Friend , Fkakcus O'Connor .

les- " Vertop , Gharenton , and Yincennea . The last for res 3 appears to be tbo special subject of hie Royal solicitude ; for since the close of May , 1841 , that is since the changes made in the old structure , and the creation of the new one , which commenced in March , 1842 , Louis Philippe has six times visited the works of Vmoennes . " SPAxw- ^ Accounts from Madrid of ttio 14 h lust ' state , that in the morning of that day General Narv&cz proceeded to the Palace , and presented to the Queen his resignation of the post of Captain-General of New Castile . Tiie motives for this resolution were not exactly known . The Eco del Comerdo announces , that its editors had been removed from the Barrack del Soldado to the former Convent of the B ^ silios , where they were still detained in solitary confinement .
M . Palmo , former commander of a battalion of Luohana , and M . Savifa , an officer of the garri on , had been arrested as participators in the attempt against the person of General Narvacz . A letter from Perpignon of the 15 h ins . states , that General Prim on arriving at Figueras had summoned the castle to surrender ; but that his demand had been met by a peremptory refusal , and that the batteries had opened a fire upon his quarters by way of defiance . The Castle was BuppUed with provisions for twelve months . .: :: < The Montross steamer bring 9 advices from Ljgbon to the 15 th , and from Cadiz to the 13 sh insV The suppression of : the insurrection in Galicia had ^ been complete , and neither at Vigo nor elsewhere ttere there witnessed any fresh symptom of outbreak . *
After the defeat of Iriarte , General Cotoner , having arrived at Redondella , prepared to attack Vigo , when the insurrectionary Junta , perceiving the entire defeat of its adherents , requested the Consuls of England and Portugal to serve as mediators for them with the Commander of the forces . The Consuls both readily ler . t themselves to this task , which was satisfactorily accomplished , and the Government troops shortly afterwards entered Yigo , without effusion of blood . " Order was established throughout Galicia .
There had been undoubted supplies of arms , ammunition , and money , sent out by Espartero ' s adherents jn London to the northern and southern coasts of Spain . At Seville many new arrests had been made , and npon the persons of the sergeants of the Regiment del Rei . imprisoned for endeavouring to effeot a demonstration aeaiust the Provisional Government , was found 200 , 000 reals ia gold . The disturbances at Algesiras , like all others , had led to nothing . At Lisbon all was quiet , and the Cortes were opened aa the packet left .
VngggD STATES . —The new plan of the Amoricanjgfiecuiive for issuing 5 , 000 , 000 dollars in paper monejHl the subject of angry comment on the part of the democratic press , who refer to it as pregnant with fa tore mischief , and compare it to the issue of a 5 signat 8 and mandats during the French revolution . Tae measure is ascribed to the influence of Mr . Webster , who , though he basqnitted ihe Administration , is said to retain his influence with its present members . The whole plan , indeed , is affirmed to huvc been concocted between him and his former colleague , Mr , Spencer , during a recent visit to Washington . A better idea of the subject cannot be siren than It < juonirg Bomo of the remarks Of the
Opposition journals npoa it . The Harrisburg Democratic Union has the follow ing : — " "We observe that the Secretary of the Treasury is about to ieuue 5 , C 00 , 000 of Government paper Ojoiity , under the name of fifty-dollar Treasury notes . The rate of interest on these notes is to be merely nominal , and tliev are to be redeemable ob demand inthe banks of New York and New Orleans . The intention is openly avowed of making them a circulating medium , instead af bank-nates ; and this barefaced violation of the Constitution is to proceed from an Administration which xbries in the fact that its chief has twice vetoed bills to [ establish a bank of tho United States !
"Treasury notes have been often issued by the Government ; but such notes are as unliko thosu of Mr . Spencer as a bond for money loaned , beariiijt an interest of six per cent ., and payable iu one year after date , is unliko a bank-note payable on demand . ThO Constitution gives to Congress tho power ' to borrow money on the credit of the United'States ^ and this power ha ? souk times been carried into execution , by borrowing for one year . inste&d of a longer term , at such a rate of interest as could be agreed on by tbo parties , and issuing Treasury notes to the lender or erednor of the Government for the amount . These Treasury note ? have never heretofore been redeemable at any bank before they were due ; and it is this redemption of them on demand , before they have reached maturity , together with the mure
nominal rate OT . interest they bear , which changes them from a Government loan into a Government paper circulation . The secretary in this manner expects to evade the provisions of tho act of Cougrens , and to escape tho censure of the Democratic party and the country . But the attempt will be unavailing . So hostile were the Democratic party to a Government paper circulation , that when the independent treasury law was before Congress , although the rkbt of the Treasury to draw draughts upon its agents ia payment of the public debts was unquestionable , yet to avoid tha possibility that these draugbtB-might become a . circulating medium , it was expressly enjoined on the Secretary of the Treasury , by the 231 section of that act , to provide fox . their speedy presentation and payment at the different depositories .
11 No Government on the face of the earth has ever resorted to the miserable expedient of issuing paper money without suffering from the experiment . It is created so easily , that it produces unbounded ex travagance in expenditures , as well as the most corrupt peculation . It has made a bankrupt of every Government which has resoried to it extensively ; and the people themselves have always had to suffer the loss . The assignats of the French Revolution , and our own continental paper money , are the most memorable examples of the truth of this assertion . Theframers of the Federal Constitution , warned by the fata of this paper currency , ami having it
before their eyes , wisely withaeld from Congress tie power of ever again issuing it . They thought thp old example OQsiht fos ev « to be enuuued ; and . therefore , the only power over the currency which they conferred upon Congress was that ' to coai money , and to regulate the value thereof , and of foreign coin . * They were emphatically hard-monev men . Bnj why should Mr . Secretary Spencer re ^ ai-d those things ! The Constitniiun is now but an antiquated scroll ; and the exposition of I * by the Virginia and Kentncky resolutions , and Mr . Madison ' s report , is entirely out of date . The modern , ultra-latitudiuarian construction by the ' God like' Daniel has superseded ihese inus : y records . "
Tiie Missourtan says : — " All tho details of the new paper currency of the Federal Government are now before the country , and it now turns ont to be a naked issue of paper money upon the credit and revenues of tho Government . The notes are still to be called Treasury notes , bat have all the characteristics of bank notes . Like bank notes , they are to bear no interest , for the 1-IOth of 1 per cent , is nothing , and is only intended as a fraud upon the act of Congress , which required tb » m to : bear interest . Like bank notes ,
they are payable to bearer ; but here another fraud is perpetrated to cheat the act of Congress , which required Treasury notes to be payable to order ; anrf by this second fraud the bearer is put upon the back , instead of the face , of the note . Like bank notes , they are payable on demand ; and , like bank notes , they are intended to pass from haad to hand , to bo re-issuable , and to constitute a paper-money currency . The amount now to be ismed is 5 . 000 . 0 G 0 dols ., the new deficit in the revenue amounting 10 that sum , and the whole to be payable at New York . These are the fft&tures of the new Government
paper-money ; and the first thing that strikes us is its ntter unccnetituiioaaliiy , its gross perversion of the act of Congress for issuing Treasury notes , and theboldnes 3 of thus putting into operation the main part of the Exchequer Bill , which Congrcs 3 so peremptorily rejected , and of which the main object was to issue a Government paper currency . " Tho Constitution knows nothing but a hardmoney currency for the Federal Government ; and all Administrations up to tho present day have rejected a federal paper currency , not only as unconstitutional , but as the most fatal and dangerous of jail the descriptions of paper money . Mr . Tyler ' s Administration is the first to do it ; and in doing so . hascommitted a violation of the Constitution , and
a fraud upon , the act of the Congress for issuing treasury notes . In doing thiB he has cancelled the list feeling of regard which ' -anybody felt for the two bank vetoes ; for Government banking is certainly worse than corporation banking , bad as the latter IS . He had nearly cancelled the debt of gratitude Which BQBje felt , by proposing the Exchequer echeme , bat now ho has put the worst part of that scheme ; into operation , after Congress bad rejeoied it ; and thus shows ^ that he was governed by no - principle whatever In giving his vetoes . Unconstitutional and fraudulent as this paper currency , is , it i& subject to all the objections of a Icc&l currency ; tor , being payable at New York , it wil' all centre thenand will require a concentration of specieitat that point to redeem it .

" There never was , and there never will be , a Government paper currency whioh will not be abused Tne present issue is an abuse ; and though they be ^ in with five millions , it will rise to tens and hun tfreds of millions , if permitted to go on . Every new debt and every new extravagance will be covered with a new is ? ue of paper money , to avoid the alarm which loans and taxes would create ; and thus a great national debt wil be created before tho country is aware of it . Thus it is now . Every session of Congres « Bince ihe ohan » e of 1840 has been met by deficilB , loans , taxes , and treasury notes , until tho new public debt amounted to
27 , 000 , 000 dollars . In a short time Congress is to mt ; nt again , and would be a ^ ain informed of a deficit of 1 , 000 , 000 dollars , and nsw loans or taxes called for to that amount ,. But to avoid this call , and to deceive the people , an issue of pap ^ r money ia determined upon , and these 5 , 000 , 000 of Government bank notes are issued . Tho Democracy were for a national gold currency ; the old Federalists are for a national paper currency . The old Federalists wure for a back to issue this currency ; the new Federalists , of the We-bbier and Tyler bohool , are for the Government to issue it ; and ot the two , we deem the old , Federalists the most honourable and the least dangerous .

A black fellow , named Dave Gridley , had been for some weeks committing many depredations upon the property of the citizens , when he was at length caught , with the assistance ot" dogs , and delivered to a guard . Subsequently he was taken from the guard in the night , dragged into the woods , and hung . His body was then thrown into an old hon ^ e , which was set on fire and burnt , together with the body .

isAJ- ^ pOlsJ ^ / f ' 4 ~» s& ^ t ^ Mr . Hall , sapcrviss ? of excise , said ihat , in consequence of tbe inforjoiiioa which be had from Mr Hose , be went to that gemleman ' a shop on tha 1-8- a of July ; he there found a bag which , oa upeniQg , he found to contain an article which was made to imitate tea . There was better than forty pounds of it . He plaoed it under seizure , and sealed it up in Mr ., Rose ' s presence .
He went to Mr . Rose ' s again , on the 2 ( h . h of July , and sat ? tho defendant's son there ; aiid in answer to questions put to him , the sou said bis father h % & the leaves out of Lancashire : they were dried orainariiy on a kiln , but sometimes in the sun . Oa tho -29 : h of Juiy , he sent two samples by post to ihd Commissioners of Excise in London , and yesterday ho gave another sample to Mr . Phillips . The composition appeared like tea leaves , which had been used , redried , and coloured , to imitate black tea .
Mr . George Philips , chemist to tbe Board of Excise m London , said he had received from the Commissioners of Excise a sample under seal . [ The packet waa produced , and identified by Mr . Hail , as one of those which he had fijrw-rde < i to the Boird , ] He had examined tbe ctmteuts of that package , and lud submitted it to analysis . Tae l »> Uowing 13 the result : — lv The cea is compoied of redried tea leaves , both black and
green , aud the leaves of other plants , not tea euch as may be derived from Pouchong i ' he leaves have b . en died with a , vegetable rsd dyij apparently Brazil or logwood , and the dust or bjdiU part of the sample contains yellow ochre , both raw and burnt , and sand aa well . It is of no value , ? . ii con'ainti no tanuitig . " That was the result of the ays !; sis , taken down at the time . The ce-mposidon was undoubtedly spurious , but contained nothing positively injariou 3 .
Mr . Naylor cross-examined each of thewitnessr ? , aud also took one or iwo objections to the prceedmgs during their course , but he failsd either to shake any part ot tbe testimony , or to make a siugle point in his client ' s favour . He also addressed the Bench : u some length in reply to the evidence which had been adduced , and contended that no case , as affecting his client , had beeu made out . The Bencl ) , after a shore consultation , said they were of opinion that tbe charge in the firsc couat of cbe information had been fully sustained , and they should thcrefovu convict the defendant in the highest penalty of £ 5 fot every pound of the composition .
The fine , therefore , is £ 200 , afld Is . damages , fu defauU of payment the punishment to be six moutiis' imprisonment .

Stead and Simpsons , of Kirkgate , Leeds , curriers , and wholesale and retail boot and shoemakers . The evidence disclosed a most extei aive 1 system of plunder , which ha 4 been for a length oi lime carried on : the following is a very brief summary : —i'he younger prisoner has been in the employ ot Messrs . Stead and Simpsons for about two years ; though not confidential , he had access to , and was
entrusted with , at different periods , the care of the sale shop , and with tho kojs of the warehouses . For some time , sums of money hav been missed from the till ; but , until very recently , no suapioion attached to Hinley , and it was not until some gold was missed from a disk in the counting-houso , on which it had been only temporarily left , that a thought was at all entertained unfavoarable to him . On Monday morning lagfc , however , from certain circumstances which occurred , silver which amounted to . £ 2 , was privately majked by Mesars . S ; ead and Simpson , and placed in tho till ; the prisoner being 8 ooa afterwards left in charge of the shop , aud a watch being kept upon hi 3 movements . He was sp . fn to go to the till , and
'o tvke scmetniDg from it , upon which he was soon atter charged with the theit , wbicb of course he denied ; hut on an offi > er being called in , and his pockets searched , 13 « . of tbe marked money was louud upon him . On this charge he was the same day committed to Wakefieid House of Correction fur trial . Suspicion being thus confirmed , a wairaot was applied for to search his lodgings at . K'irkstali , where he lived with his brother in-Iaw , George Aliugley . Hfre , on breaking open Ms 6 ox , was found a large quantity of materials , of the best quality , fur making boots and shoes , eome very expensive suits of new clothes , and threg purses , one of which contained £ 77 m gold , and the other two £ il 3 s . 64 . in silver . A hamper ,
a ' so the prisoner s , which was Iockedj was likewise opened , and this wad found to be filled with leather aud other materials , all of which Messrs . Stead and Simpson were able to identify . There were iu addition about fifty letters , dated Pr-eat&s , which bad been written to the prisoner by bis father , and from the in f ormation contained in these , a search warrant was obtained , and Mr . Stead , in company with Stubbs , tha j police © fileer , set off the same night to Preston . Thoy obtained the assistance of another officer there , and proceeded to thg old man ' s house on Tuesday morning , where , after a careful search they found about 440 pairs of boots aud . shoes , a large quantity of Wellington and Clarence fronts , fifiy-sevon pieces of silk galloonfifteen
, pieces of siik shoe-ties , a quantify of lasting ; black cloth , carpetting , Russian bristles , buttons , shoe piarors , punches , size stick ? , knives , and other shoemakers' tools , leather of vsrirng kinds , silk * twist , and other materials , ftltngether abont eeVea huadred wtijxht , and in valncil 50 . This property Mr . Stead could identify as belonging to himself And partmrs ; it was , therefore , taken possession of , and thscla raan was taken into euttody , andbrongntto Lseds . The depositions of the various witnesses to substantiate the case against both father and son , were taken on Wednesday , Thars ^ ay , and yjotmiay . It should be mentioned , also , that a larxe number of letters were found in the old
mau e possession , which he had received from hia son ; iiis expressions in theee clearly establish a gausy kROwiedge oa his part ; and afteT matnre da . iberation . both the prisoners were committed to York Castle for trial at the ensuing assizes .
