Congregational Unitarian Church in Philadelphia . Boston Phillips, Samp* son, SCo Philadelphia. T.B.Pugh. *' The position of Dr. Furness, os the representa tive head of the Unitarian denomination in this olty for over a third of a oentury, is calculated to oommand attention for the present publication, which contains the matured rofleotioDS of a culti vated and transparently candid mind. However muoh the publio may dissent from the author’s general views, or from the tenets sought to be illustrated in the volume just pub lished, there oan be but one opinion entertained in reference to the oatholio spirit of charity in whioh they are put forth. The usually bitter tone of the religious controversialist is altogether absent, and the most bigoted opponent cannot re sist the oonviotion that the author Is' thoroughly slnoore in every word be niters. In his endeavors to attain the truth—however wide of -the mark those endeavors may he In the judgment of some —Dr. Furness evinces an earnestness of purpose and honesty of intention whioh carry great with every unbiased mind, and preclude all, doubt as to the praiseworthy motives whioh have prompted the effort. The present work is a oorollary to the three vo lumes previously written by Dr. Furness; the first, “ Remarks on the Four Gospols,” published in 1838; tho second, “Jesus and his published in 1838; and the third, “AHistory bf Jesus,” whioh first issued from the press in 1856. Dr. Furness writes with much vigor, and remark able purity of style, very sensibly esohowing all attempts at “ fine writing,” or wire-drawn dispu tations. So far from adopting any set form of pb lemioal argument, he seems to have specially avoided doing so, and to have grouped his ideas' together without referenoe to any pet plan. Through the work, however, a unity of design Is. o/eariy discernible, whioh oan be easily mode out from the disjecta membra. We doubt not the, volume will find abundance of readers, not merely, in the religious world, but in seoular oiioles as ; well. Without endorsing the speoial theological views set forth in it, we oannot holp believing that no ono oan rise from its perusal without haring his heart touched with the divine reality of Christ’s oharootor, and his whole being Btirred to the performance of the highest duties of hu manity. LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF KIT OARBON, THE NESTOR OF THE ROOKY MOUNTAINS. FROM FACTS NARRATED BY HIMSELF. By Ds Witt 0. Peters, M. D. lvol Bvo. pp. 634. New York : W, R. C. Clark A Co. Although the rodoubtable Christopher Carson ji title-paged as a Nestor, whioh gives an Homeric idea of venerable age, he is yet upon tho sunny side of fifty, having been born in Kentucky, on Christmas Evo, 1809- Those who have road tho interesting narrative of Colonel Fromont’s Ex plorations in the Rooky mountains are familiar with the character of Kit Carson—with his bold ness, sagaolty, perseverance, and fidelity. The handsome volume before us, beautifully printed, neatly illustrated, and ably written, gives his whole personal history, which is as interesting os that of Leatherstocking in Cooper’s American ro mances. The wood engravings, executed by N» Orr, from drawing by Lumley, are superior illus trations, and the volume altogether has quite a splondid appearance. Bating the usual tendenoy of a biographer to make the most of his hero, Dr. Peters has shown judgment as well as talent in the authorship,of this book. It Is brimful of adventure, and it is written aslf the author himself delighted in the roxnanoe of real life whioh he so spiritedly nar rates. Kit Carson, at the olose of this Memoir, is left actively engaged in performing tho duties of Indian Agent In New Mexioo, and his activity, shrewdness, seal, and probity eminently qualify him for this position of responsibility and trust. In tracing this brave man’s oareer Dr. Peters pro- • Bents a sketch of a remarkable and extensive dis trict of our oouutry, of tho Indian races who in habit it,' and of the adventurous trAppbrS Bhd hunters of the Far West. Yoar after year the Indians are dying out, and, even yet more rapidly, the whito men of whom Carson is the reoognisod representative are also evanishing. Here, to use Dr. Peters’ words, is Carson, “ a man, who, for fifteen years, saw not the face of a white woman, or slept under a roof; who, during those long years, with his rifle alone, killed over two thousand buffalo, between four and fivo thou sand deer, antelope, and elk, besides wild game, suoh as bears, wild turkles, prairie ohlckens, Aa., &o.', In numbers beyond calculation.” As guide and adviser to the Fremont and other explorations on the Rooky Mountains, the name of Kit Garson will ever be remembered. He Is reoorded, by those who have had dealings with him, as a discreet and sober man, whose word oould always be rqliod upon, who porformod tbe boldest deeds without bolug a braggart, and in deod was as reserved and undemonstrative as if his life had been passed in village obscurity. We oannot devote space to extroots from this bio graphy, full of startling interest as it is, but strongly recommend it as written with ability and earnostnoss, and as abounding in adventures whloh aro not only wonderful but true. NEW AND FORTHCOMING ROOKS. It has surprised us that no man of lottors has thought it worth while to write a continuation of Horaoe Walpole's famous Oatalogne of Royal and Noble Authors. In the hundred years whioh have elapsed einoe that work wqb privately printed at Strawberry Hill, a great deal has been done by noble authors. Among these are Lord Dafferln, great grandson of the famouß Riohard Brinsley Sheridan, Who ran Through each mode or the lyre, and was master of all,” and who is also nephew to Mrs. Norton, the poet ess. Two years ago, then aged thirty—having previously been in aotual servitude, as one of Queon Viotoria’s Lords in Waiting—this gentle man started on a voy&go due North, in the schoon er yaoht “Foam,” taking with him an Iceland gentleman, as companion; an Irish surgeon, who oould take photographs aud botanize; with valet, oooks, sailing-master, mates, seamen, butoher, and so forth. This party visited Iceland, where they saw Heola and the Geyser; orossed the Aiotio Oirolo ; foil in with Prinoe Napoleon, also a tour ist ; went to Jan Mayen, and other Jtrange pl&oos, as also to Spitzbergen, Norway, Denmark, and b&ok again to England—accomplishing a trip of somo six thousand miles, in less than four months, and devoting himself, on his return, to making a book of it, entitled “A Yaoht Voyage of Six Thousand Miles—Letters from High Latitudes.” It hos.run into a fourth edition in England, and having road an early oopy of the beautiful re print, to be published on Saturday, by Ticknor A Fields, ef Boston, vre o&n say that a more agree able book of travel we have never read. By the way, gala’s “ Journoy duo North,” the latest tour in Russia, published by the same house, has gone Into a seoond edition. Tioknor <fc Fields will immediately publish “The Life and Times of Sir Philip Sidney,” with steel plates. The new volumes of their House hold oditlon of the Waver ley novels contains “The Fair Maid of Perth, ’ with engravings after Molan A Faed. This splendid edition rapidly approaeh os its oomplolion. Longfellow’s now poem iB in its 25th thousand. Talking of Longfellow reminds us that a forth ooming holiday-book, to be published by Rudd and Oarloton, of Now York, will be a quarto volume of photographs, oxeouted by Brady, from original drawings by John W. Ebninger, Illustra tive of u The Courtship of Allies Blandish.” This will bo tho first work of the sort ever published in this country. Mr. Longfellow has warmly ex pressed hi B approbation of the work, and Mr. Bry&nt, tho poet, has most enthusiastically be stowed his disoriminativo praiso, in tho New York Evening Post, of suoh of tho drawings as he ex amined. Tho soienoe of photography allows the reproduction of the original designs, even to the minutest touob, aud a oharming work may be looked for. Bomo of our reodors may thank us, perhaps, for tolling thorn that the Christmas number of Dick ens's Household Words will he oallod “ A Houso to Lot.” Wo shall probably republish it in our Weeily Press. Gould & Lincoln, of Boston, announoo a new volume of “ The Aimwoll Stories,” with 40 illus trations. It will be oallod “Jessie; or, Trying to bo Somebody.” The great gift-books of the season, most un doubtedly, are Professor Coppee’s “Gallery of English and American Poets;” published by E. 11. Bailor, of this oity; the illustrated edition of Edgar A. Poe’s Poems, published by Redfteld, of New York; and “Tho Stratford Gallery,” con sisting ef 45 portraits of Bhakspoare’s female oharaoters, desoribed by Henrietta Lee Palmor, with womanly fooling and poetio graoe. The dedloatlon, to her husband, (the accomplished and popular Dr. J. W. Palmer, of New York,) Is quite epigrammatio, viz: “To J. W. P., the most ex acting and moat encouraging—‘ something between a hindrance and a help.* ” It 1b published by I Appletons of New York, who have also issued I Dana’s Household Book of Poetry. We must in oludo, In this mention of attractive Gift-books, Harper’s Poets of the Nineteenth Century. Here is a new book, to be published by Mason Brothers, of New York. We holiove it will not he issued for a few dayß, but an early copy has reached us-. It is written by “Benauly,” (whoever he may bo,) and is oalled “ Matthew Oaraby; a Nar rative of his adventures during the autumn of 1848, among friends aha*strangers, In country and town.” It is a'domestic story, of muoh interest, winding up with a criminal trial, most graphio in Its details, and also correct in its law. We give tho book our full commoudation. #rmn T. B. Peterson & Brothers we have a batch of new books, their own publications. First, we havo“The Modern Cook,” by Frnncatolli, pupil of Care me, the Parisian cuisinitir, and successively chef-db'cuisine to Lord Chesterfield; and other high fashionables, finally being maitre-d'hotel to Queen Victoria. This book, of nearly 600 ootavo pages, with 62 illustrations, is tho most ambitious cook ing* book ever printed in this country. It is almoßt wholly European in its dUhorf, and il has roaohed the",unwonted popularity of a ninth London edition, from which this first American is reprinted. About one;half the dishes here described aro now. Fran oatclH, we are glad to observe, eschews the use of sweet ohampagne in the first course at dinner, and recommends Madeira,Sherry, and Burgundy as hav ing the stimulating qualities whioh assist digestion, leaving sweet ohampagne for the latter part of the second course. One of his novelties is the intro* duotion of the Russian mode of arranging the dinner—with the dessert upon the table nt fita’fc, and the dinner itself on the side tables. He sub joins a -glossary of French terms, and a very op piotis, Index. This is a Cook-Book of no ordinary oharaoter—a standard volume ; for the ordinary library.—A new edition, two volumes in one, of Judge Haliburton’s Yankee Stories, has also been issued by Petersons. This is the original work of the Sam Slick series, and those who want a good laugh will tako vory kindly to it.—Last of all, wo have that surprising story, Wilkie Collins’s (‘Dead Secret,” whioh e&used unusual excitement in the reading world, while in weekly eourse of publication in Household Words. Wo know no work of rcoent fiction in whioh the interest is so soon awakened or so long maintained. The rooder gets exoited as he goes on, and anxiously awaits the denouement. Tho book is handsomely printed. We recommend every one to follow our example, and oarofully tear out the wood on graving whioh does duty as frontispieoe; it is vory inferior. “ The Dead Seoret,” will have as large a sale, we anticipate, as tho most popular works of-Dickons, Bulwor, or Lever. In a Hew York publication, intended to bo is sued semi-oooasionally and entitled “ Pulpit and Rostrum,” tho first number is a report of a Ser mon by the Rev. T. L. Cuyler, very strongly anti theatrioal. We have often wondered at the mi nuteness of detail, respecting theatres and play ers, given by olergymen who, it is olear, ought soth&vo porsonal knowledge or experience of suoh matters, and must argue on the morest hearsay— than which nothing oan be more unfair. Mr. Cuyler’B attack on tho dramatic profession was bc fieroe that it has drawn down a foroible and able roply from Mr. William Davidge, the comedian. In this controversy it is diamond out diamond. The preaoher merely declaimed ; tho responding actor argues, and brings a groat array of authori ties to support his views. He says that it did not oome within tho limits of Mr. Cuyler’s “ convo* nienco to admit that Saint Paul did not oonsider it unworthy to admit a verso of Euripides into the Holy Scriptures ;• that tho early Christian Fathers wrote for the stage, and St. Thomas Aquinas even asserts that ( those amusements were noeded for the conduct of a woll-spent life’; that tho drama existed at Romo, Athens, Jerusalem, Ephesus, and other places, at the time of tho Apostles; and, although they rebuked all other conceivable vices, they said not one word against this form of amuses ment; and that Addison, Milton, Dr. Blair, Dr. Johnson, and oven Dr Milman, (the present Dean of 6t. Paul’s, London;) actually wrote for the stage,’’ In short, in the present state of the con test, the actor has got his assailant’s head 11 Into chancery.” ** Thoughts of Favored Hours, upon Bible Inci dents and Characters, &c.,” written by Josoph Copley, and published by Messrs. Lippincott, oon* tains short essays, illustrative of the loading points of religion, well adapted Tor chamber reading, and very - *, < Tho "Physician’s Visiting List for 1859,” pub lished by Llndsay-and Blakiston, of this oity, is so complete, oompaot, and well-arrangod, as to be a necessity as well as an aid to practising medical men. It oon tains an almanac, a table of signs, with.an explanation of the mode of making en tries, eto., a complete visiting list, diary or day book, with printed hoads for every day in tho year, so arranged that a physician, whether at home or abroad, can tnako bis oharges at tho timo of hiß visit, and have bis accounts for tho ourrent year always in his pocket; a table of poisons and their antidotes; a table for calculating the period of utoro-gostation; Marshall Hall’s ready method in asphyxia; pages for obstetric engagements; pagos for vaoolnatlon engagements; pages for general memoranda, eto., eto. It oocupies no more spaoo than a pooket-book, whioh, indeed, it is intended to supersede. FromW. S. & A. Martien, publishers in this oily, we have received “Noon Prayer Hosting of the North Dutoh Churoh, Fulton street, Hew York,” by the Rev. T. W. Chambers. It is a highly interesting volume, very neatly and libe rally illustrated, containing a striking narrative of a moßt important phase of Revivalism. One of tho obaptors, written by tho Rev. Mr. Daifield, Jun., relates to the noon meeting in Philadelphia. Some day, perhaps, the questio vexata of Slavery may end. Meanwhile, with the liberty of speak ing and printing enjoyed in this oountry, we must expeot to find It disouseed. Messrs. Lippinoott, of this oity, have just issued an ootavo, by Goorge S. Sawyor, a member of the bar in Louisiana, en titled “ Southern Institutions.” It is elaborate and argumentative, and written with good temper and marked ability. It was prepared for the press as far back as 1855, and treats fully, analytical ly, and comparatively of the history of slavery, its present condition in the South, ond its politi cal and judiolal attitudo in the United States. A comparison botwoen tho condition of <( white slaves ” in England and hlaok slaves in the South is drawn—much to tho advantago of tho latter. Mr. Sawyer doos not argue quite fairly when he speaks of naval imprisonment as still existing in England, where it was wholly abandoned more than twenty years ago. Another amusing volumo by “Doestioks” Rudd & Carleton have just published, “The Witohes of New York,” as onoounterod by Doe sticks. This is a very entertaining volume. Doo atioks paid a visit to eaoh of the female fortune telling impostors who advertise in the New York Herald , (a journal which delights to expatiato on publio morality!) and has put his experiences into a book. Uis descriptions of these impostors are raoy and graphic, and well calculated to put un wary persons upon their guard. This book, in very truth, is a heavy blow at tho whole family of fortune-tolling cheats. “Sunshine; or, Kato Vinton,” by Harriet B. MoKoovcr, is a roligious story, published by Lind say & Blakiston. We do not think highly of this speoies of fiotlon. This story, howevor, is as good as any specimen of tho olass wo havo latoly road, and we dare soy it will havo a large circulation. The oharaoter of tho heroino is drawn with deli cacy and discrimination. Orittondon’s Induotive and Practical Treatise on Book-keeping, published by E. 0. A J. Biddle, is tho most complete work of tho sort wo havo over examined—booause it is the most rational, simple, and praotioal.v It givos the art of koop ing mercantile aooounts by both single and by double entry, with forms for every description of publio and privoto business. Tho work is the result of groat oxperienoe, and has gradually grown to its present completeness. It is well cal culated for reforonoo in the counting-house, aB well as for public and privato instruction. Cornell's Grammar-School Geography, publish ed by Messrs. Appleton, of Now York, is one of the best works of the sort, for advanced pupils, in publio or privato sohools, wo have yot mot. It oootains many maps and viows, with tho dags of various nations, and opens with very dear trea tises, with questions on each sootion on Mathema tical and Physical Geography. Tho pronuncia tion of natuos of pl&oes is clearly indicated, tho standard authority being Lippinoott’s Pronounc ing Gazetteer of the World. Tho vignotto illus trations are little gems of wood-engraving. Horo, underlaid by a pile of newspapers, are two books whioh we lately received from Peterson & Brothers. Thoy are published by the Applo tons of New York, and as we read them with much pleasuro, we oan cordially recommend; them. Tho first is ” Tho Ministry of Life,” by Maria Louisa Charlosworth, an English writer, we be- Hove. It Ib a novol of society, without exaggera tion of oharaoter or inoident, and the main in terest revolves around a clorgyman and the excellent woman whom he weds, of ooureo, in the last chapter. The story has a serious tinge throughout, but not overpoweringly. “Bertram Noel,” the other volume, is a story for youth, handsomely illustrated, and written by E. J. May. This, also, seems to he au English book, and shows the penetralia of English middle-olass society, ending, as its fellow does, in a well-assorted mar riage. A sequel Is hinted at, whioh we hope may appear. THE OOUBTB. THE ALLIBONE AND NEWHALL CASE. THIRD DAI. [Reported for The Press.] THCBBDAV, Decerabor 2,1858. Quarter Sessions— Judge Thompson.— The court was opened at 10 o'clock, and the jurymen having answered to their name*. Alfred Coxe re-examined by Mr. Longhead.—l stated yesterday that a settlement took place on September 221 with Mr Newhall, when’’ it appeared he hsd re ceived ebout £52 000 on sterling Account from the hank, and given £60,000; he was credited with the £BO.OOO, and debited with the amount of his oheck, which re presented the sterling accommodation he had received; those two Items, when entered, would leave the differ ence to his credit, which would be a balance in his fa vor of from $lB6 000 to $140,000: I pare Mr. Newhall no memorandum for the draft of £30,000, tho reason being that Mr. Newhall had frequent transactions; the bank bad accommodated him with other sterling ex change before, which were paid for, sometimes large and sometimes small amounts; wbena bill of exchange was drawn by the bank and given to a person, the notes of the parties were taken in two transactions I reool lect, and for others there were only memoranda; cannot say whether the amounts were large or small; the two bills of exchange which Mr, Newhall got> on July 6th and August 14th were not settled 'for until Beptember 22d; the credit then given to Mr. Newhall on those bills was from their respective dates up to September let, when he gave the £30.000 bill nf Brown & Bowen; Ido not recollect that I asked Mr. Newhall to settle these accounts ; I think the first intimation of settlement came from Mr Newhall to methat £30,000 draft given by him on September Ist, was al lowed on September 22d in the settlement: I informed Mr. Aliibone of it, and he said it was all correct: all the knowledge I had directly that Mr. Newhall had actually furnished that £BO,OOO :bill to the hank was its ,being handed to me by Mr. AUibone with A'-request to send it to Peabody & Oo : do not recollect whether AUibone said it was to bo credited to anybody; I do not recollect the steamer that carried the matl in which the £60,000 draft to Peabody was conveyed; I think the letter was mailed on the 16th of September ; I put it in the post office myself. Mr. Thayer. I suppose the account of Peabody Is in evidence ? Mr. Longhead. I consider it so. Witness to Mr. Longhead. The exchange sold to Mr. Stuart, that I spoke of yesterday, was paid for by him. To Mr. Thayer. Under date ot l4. there is a credit to the bank of £BO,OOO in Mr. Peabody’s ac count; I uodersttnd that to be for the £30,000 bill I spoke of ss got from Mr. Newhall; in tbatacoount Pea body credits the bank with the £50.000 draft, on the 2Sth of September; Mr. Stuart paid his bills of ex change by checks, dated, I think, a few days ahead; my belief is that those checks w*»re paid—how long after I cannot say; I cannot say whether they were'paid when duo; I know one was not paid for some time; I think they were sued for; (the District Attorney ob jected to ibis evidence as to Btuart’s transactions, but the court admitted it, saying, however, that it did net see its importance ;) the snit was brought by Mr. Ma c&leßter; the settlement of sterling bills left a balance in Mr. Newhall’s favor on that transaction in hJs gene ral account; I do not mean that there was any inde pendent account of these transactions, but simply a balance in his favor on these transactions in his general account; I settled with Mr. Newhall in this way: Mr. Newhall had hooght of the bnnk four bills, and had sold to the hank a bill for £60,000, and one for ££0,000; I gave him credit for the two bills he had sold, and charged him vrlth the four bills bought by him: the matter was th6n closed in Mr. Newhall’s general account by an entry in bis bank-book to his oredit for the two bills. and he gave a check for the aTount of the four bills; there rvas no separate accountof this matter; it went In bis general account, and the debits and credits would appear In his bank-book ; cannot say that Mr. Newhall had In bank, to his credit, money enough to take up those.bills, not having had oharge of that account; I was prepared to give him credit for the £3O 000 at aoy time when he might come in after September Ist, to wbloh he vras ontltled, and of course he was entitled on the 16th of Seotember to credit for the £60.000 bill. The bill for £60,000. sold by Mr Newhall to the bank, may have been brought by Ur. Newhall; cannot recollect ex actly by whom, it is so long ago ; Mr. Newhall fre quently brought bills to me directly when he bought thorn for the bank. He always paid for the sterling ex change he had before bought from the bank; thona tare of Mr. Newhall’s business, I understood, was such as to require him to buy sterling exohange; so far as I know, the bank did not lose a cent by any of the trans actions I spoke oL To Mr. Lougbead. By the last remark I speak only of my knowledge; I do not know rajeeif whether the bank has lost or is liable to lose ; tbo bank was enti tled to credit for tbe first draft for £17,000, on tbe 6th of July, unless time was specially given to Mr. New hall; ha would ant be charged with Jfc as of that date, unless he bought for oredit. To Mr. Wharton Newhall was charged with hills at 9)4 and 6£ ; the £6O OCO drat sold by him was bouvht by tho bank at 8 per cent., and tbe bank would gain by To Mr. Longhead. Tho rate of on the 16th of September was much higher than S per cent.; pil ▼a*e individuals drawing bills'uerer do command as high a price as bankers. Allen 0 Mitchener affirmed —t was employed in the Bsnk of Pennsylvania from Slay 1,1840, to March SO, 1868 ; I was rt ceiving teller for the lastfew years; the bank suspended specie payments on tbo 35th of Septem ber, 1857 ; Wednesdays and Saturdays were discount days ; daring tho last three or four y«-ars Thomas A’ll bone was president; I think he was eleoted In 1852 or ’63. or thereabouts; Mr Newhall was a director of tho bank while I was in the Institution; I cannot ssy whe ther he was a director at the time cf A llibone’s elec tion as president; he was a director iu 18-57; after the bank suspended, September 26th, it did no regular banking business; lam not positive whether a few da posits were not received tho next day and returned to the depositors? the bank W**-«lofiod for ordinary hanking business, as 1 understood ; Mr. Newhall noted kb presl deat pro tern duiog the yoar 1857. but I c&nnot say at what time; Mr. Foil also noted as president, After Mr. AUibono went home sick in October; Mr. AlUbone left tbo bunk about the 6th of October; I am not positive as to the exact day; he did not, to my recotlectlou. return to the bank after that time; after Sept 25th, .1 received current funds as receiving teller; they were handed to mo by the note clerk, and I may have received current funds in payment of debts due the bank, bat I do not now recollect this; I had some of those current funds in my possession about the 6th or 6th of October; these entreat funds had been received In payment of discounted notes, and for drafts and notes deposited by Individuals and other banks in the Bank cf Pennsylvania for collection; 1 cannot say that Mr. AUibone and Mr. NewhaU came together to obtain current funds eo tho 6th of October; 1 cannot recollect that I ever received instructions from Mr AlUbone as to those current fund*; that is, I never had any orders from him not to part with them. Mr. Thayer. Unless it is proposed to connect uswlth this we object. Mr. Loughead. Ido propose most distinctly to con nect them. I propose to show that Mr. AlUbone di. rected this gentleman to take part of that money bodi ly, and that Mr. Alllbone’s memorandum check, or something answering that purpose, was deposited to represent tho amount which was so taken. Judge Thompson. That Is evidence. Mr. Longhead. Please state that transaotlon of October 6th—whether any instructions were given by Mr AUibone? Witness On the 6th of October, 1857, Mr. AUibono handed to me a $6,060 check of Mr. Nowhall for which he got current funds; he demanded the current funds— Mr. Wh&rton. Onr objection Is a very specific one, and the question of the District Attorney was a very Srecise one—whether any instructions were glvea by (r. AlUbone on a certain point about a certain time ? The question was asked hy my learned friend, who rep resents the other defendant, whether it wss proposed to connect Mr. NewhaU with thoie Instructions, and the answer was, “yes, distinctly.” Of course, there was no objection in law to that form of the question; hut now, Instead of au answer being given to that ques tion,the witness goes on to state what Mr. AlUbone did, ho saylag nothing. That is a totally different thing. Air. Longhead. No, sir I propose to show what Mr. AlUbone said. I will ask Mr. Mitchener to state it. Mr. Meredith. That Is exictiy what la not evidence at all. It J§ of no consequence, unlossMr Newballwas with him, what Mr Allibone said. The witness has stated, not In answer to any question, that Mr. New* hall gave a check for $6,000. Mr. Allibone, it seems, presented that chock In Mr. Newhall'n absence, and It vt as paid in current funds Now, what has Mr New hall to do with that ? It is clearly objectionable. Mr. Longhead. Yonr Honor will readily perceive that there !s the closest possible connection. I pro poso toshowby this witness,and Iso stated, that Mr Al libone came and demanded from the teller—tbat is what I meant by “ instructions”—the motor upon a check of Mr. Newb&U’s. I connedt the two together. I show that Allibone gies to the teller to get the money upon a memorandum check of Mr New hall. I intend to show by this witness that he parted with that money reluctantly, and after retnon* strance, upon the express understanding that Mr. New ball would repay it. I propose to follow that up, and Bhow that upon the same day he got, In the name way, another sumof over $7,000 upon like security—that is, upon these memorandums of Mr. Newhall which are called checks—after the bank had sub pended specie pay* ments and had oloßed. Iproposo to snow that the pre* sldent and the director of this institution now npon trial were taking the funds of tbe bank upon their per* soaal responsibility, the one drawing his memorandum check, and the other taking that check and getting the money for it, against the remonstrance of tbo cusU dian of the funds of the bank. If that does not show a com* blnation, an agreement between these parties, I am at a loss to know where the evidence of It is to be fonnd. Ido not understand the oonrt to bare made any snob ruling as that I can give testimony only of whattheydid jointly together. A conspiracy is a com bination to do a part cular thing; in this instance, it Ib to cheat and defraud the stockholders of the bank. Though I cannot show that these men went bodily to gether. I can show by tbeir separate acta that combina tion, I can show by their separate acta that that agree ment was made between them j that they were using the opportunities of their places as president and as dl ireotor for the purpose of doing that which the bill of ndfetment charges; that at the very time when they wore notifying the community by placards, that cheeks would no longer be paid, thoy were obtaining money by one making and the other drawing checks. If that does not show a conspiracy or combination, I am at a loss to know what does. Air. Meredith. May it please your Honor, the testi mony as given by the witness is that Mr. Allibone pre* sonted a check drawn by Mr. Newhall on the bank, which be paid—not a memorandum cheek at all, but a ebook from the fnmls of Mr. Newhall lyiog 1° the bank. Mr. Longhead. There Is the mistake. It Is not “ which he paid”—the witness is stopped. Mr. Mereailh The offer is to show that ho paid that to Mr. Allibone, who pr“Bent*d It, in curient funds Now, unless a conspiracy is to be made out by the fact of a depositor in tho bank drawing a check on it, and another person presenting tho check and gettieg pur ulent for it, I think it Is impossible to see how this shows any connection at all, oxorpt that Mr Allibone had possession of Mr. Nenhall’a check, and that Mr. Allibone wont aud received tho money from the paying teller. Yonr Honor, of course, will decide whether this testimony is competent. Mr Longhead. This is the receiving-teller, not tho paying-teller—not the man to pay oheokß. Judge Thompson. If the bank had closed so as not to honor ohecks drawn by depositors, and Mr. Newhall drew a check which Mr. Allibone undertook and endea vored to obtain tho money of tho bank for, it would show such a connection as might Mr. Meredith. 17111 your Honor allow mo to r&y an additional word ? I omitted, perhaps, to notice an ob« j servation of the District Attorney on the subject of | di awing checks. I suppose yonr Honor cannot but be i familiar with the fact that probably there wore more j checks drawn on the B&uk of Pennsylvania immediately ! afrer its failure than on the day before, because every I depositor who could sell his deposit and who wanted the ! money would of coarse draw a check for 1 t.and that check . would pass from hand to hand and ba in any hand to whom it might happen to coroo. As your ■ Honor very well knows, there la nothing iu the Btrp- | page of a bank which prohibits the depositors from drawing their cheoks. The stoppage depreciated the checks in depreciating the credit of the bank, and, of course. If they bad occaaiou to use their deposits, they mtißt dispose of their checks. Therefore, it appears to mo that that suggestion of tho District Attorney is not entitled to anything like the force which he supposes. Mr. Loughead After the admission of the testimony the defendant wDI be at liberty to show that it was a legitimate transaction. ....... .. Judge Thompson. I understand that this was the 6th or October, and this check was drawn after Septem ber 25th, when the bank bad suspended. Mr Longhead. Yes Fir. Judge Thompson. Then, I think it is ovldence. Mr. Michener continued. On the 6th of Ootober, Mr. Allibonu came to me, and demanded of me money for a check of Newhall’s for $6,000, and I paid it; I remon strated against the payment at the time; lam the re ceiving teller and not tbe paying teller; the mosey was TWO CENTS. handed over to mo by the note olerk; I can’t say I re fused to puy tho ohook, but I objected' to it, on the ground that 4b® officers of the bank and myself had stated to depositors and others who had notes for col-* lection, that ourrent funds only would be received in pay ment for thoß® notes, and that they would be paid with funds the notes were paid in; AlUbone said he tttuat bavo the money, to the best of my recollection; he said It wouldbe returned in current funds: I lefttbe bank In March, 1858; current funds had not been re turned at that time for that check; Mr. Newhali’s check for $7,310.63. dated October 5, 1867,1 paid also to ;Y r *«!!£ oxie ’ tlie beßt of “yrecollection; Ithfnk the $9,000 was paid in the morning, and th© other after wards; there was no conversation In relation to that second cheek that I now recollect; no remonstrance, that I recollect, on my part; this money that I paid was recetvtdfrom the discounted notes, 4-c; there was more money tr.an that received from discounted notes • I can’t recollect positively thst I saw Mr. NewhaU about the bank that day; I saw him there almost every day; lam pretty positive about the date of these checks; I can’t recolleot positively that I spoke to NewhaU about these checks ; I think I spoke to him once, but never got any reply ; neither of them was redeemed up to the time I (eft the bank. Q. Wore any more ourrent funds given to Mr. New haU after that? ‘ A. Yes, sir. Mr. Wharton. Was that in Mr. Allfbone's presence ? Witness. No, sir. - Mr. Wharton. We object to that, unless the defend ants %re connected in some way, by cheek or otherwise. Mr- Thayer. There is another ground of objection There is not a word about this lost matter in the bUI of particulars. -w . Hr. Longhead. We shall see about that. I am not bound to give in a bill of particulars, time, place, and 'circumstance. • Mr. Wharton. My objection is irrespective of the bill of particulars. Judge Thompson. The objection as made by Mr. Wharton is a good one. Mr. Longhead. On that point I have a word or two to say. I understand that Mr. Wharton objects to my question. Judge Thompson. I have overruled the question. Mr. Lodghead. I should like verymuoh to'say a word or two on that question before the court decides Judge Thompson. -1 thought you had stated every thing you desired. Mr. Longhead. No, sir; I had stated nothing. Judge Thompson. I understood you to ask this wit ness whether Mr. NewhaU had obtained any of the money at any other time Mr. Longhead. Yes, sir, whether he obtained from the reoeivisg-teiler the money which had bsen in the receiving-teller’s drawer at any other time, and If So, under what circumstances. Judge Thompson. If that is to be connected with air. AlUbone in any way, it is evidence, the same as the 2®* i ?„ u .* ** ** was merely money obtained by Mr. NewhaU himself, it c&nnot be given in evidence. Mr. Longhead. Ido not know that I shall directly connect Mr. AUibono with the receipt of that eum of money; but I respectfully submit to the court that this is c 'mpetent testimony in this stage of the-cause. I have shown that those two defendants were intimate; I have shown that one was acting as president of the bank for the other; he was transacting the executive business, knowing theaffslrs of the bank. Ihaveshown them, in one transaction at least, of a similar kind, get ting money. And now I askthe court toadmittestimony to show the individual acts of each of these defendants In teference to these sums of money. 1n order to trace oat by their conduct the common conspiraoy, one combina tion between them, at least, having been already proved. It is for that purpose that I put the question. I pro pose now to prove that the defendant NewhaU obtained a lavge sum of money from the same fund from which Allibnne had before obtained the earn I 'have already proved on Newh<’s check. I propose then to enbmit these facts to the jury as jndges of tho facts, whether they do cot plainly establish a combination between them. They knew that there was in the bank this fund of correct money. They went into the bank and ob tained 513,000 cn Newhatl’s check, not drawn the day. when the panic came, as Mr. Meredith intimated, but drawn at least ten days after the failure of the bank. Mr. AlUbone drew that $lB,OOO. Now, I offer to provo that it was not Mr. AlUbone who went the next time, bnt Mr. NewhaU who went and got $16,600 of that money'whioh was lying in the drawer, from'the receiving teller. I propose toconneot the two together in this way; it was a special fund; they had made one attack upon ft; one conspirator had got $13,000 of it on one day; and on the next dar, or a • few days after, the other went to get $16,000 of it. Tf that does not connect them; if that is not evidence by which the jury may infer this combination ; if that is not what Judge Eing speaks of In the case cited by me in my opening, when he says proof is those single acts which appear to move from one, but which, in reality, when scrutinised, ohow the combina tion of-more, then I am at a loss to know how we are to follow those seoret conspiracies, or how we are able to trace them out. Judge Thompson. Ido not think it is admissible In tbe present aspeot of the case If yon had shown that dti’-ing the time when Mr. Newhall was left president of the bank under Mr. Aliibone’s appointment this thing had taken place, ft would be admifslble lo evfdenoe, be cause that might be a fact to show that there was a combination, that there was a placlngofMr. NewhaU in that position to enable them to do this. It would then be connected with Mr AlUbone Bat that Mr. NewhaU took somebody elie’a check—a separate, distinct trans action—and asked the teller for tbe money, does not seem to me to be In any way connected with the acts of Mr AlUbone. Mr Longhead. Your Honor misapprehends. I pro pose to show that Mr. Newhall went with his own check. Mr Brewster. That is still worse. Mr. Longhead I agree that it is still worse, and therefore I urge ft Mr Brewatoi. It is still worse for the purposes of your offer If he went with hi« own check. That is en tirely disconnected with the other defondant. Judge Thompson. I thick it is not evidence unless you connect them by some kind of tie Mr. Longhead, well, I will ask the witness, Mr. Miohener, if he recollects Mr Newhsll’s acting as pre aidant of the bank alter tho $l3 810 63 was obtained by* Mr. Ail'bonf.' Mr Miobensr. Ido not reoollFct It. • - ■ ' Q. Had you any conversation with Mr. Alllbone in relation to those transactions with Hr. NewhaU ? A. No, air. Cross examined by Mr. Brewster.—The checks I have spoken of were handed over to the assignees of the bank when I left; they wore both dated on the 6th of October, X 867; I took a memoranda of the dates; tbe signature to the checks was T. A. Newhall; I don’t know to whom they were payable; T don’t think they were payable to the order or any one; they were made pavabl® to bearer; they were cot memorandum checks, they appeared t»be drawn regularly; they had not the word memorand on them; my report refers to the date of tbe checks as well as to the date of their payment; they were paid on the same day; we had two receiving telt“rs; Mr. Newhsll’s acc unt was kept by Mr. B:ay; I did not consult bis acocnt or see it that day; I don’t know he had any balance to his credit at that date ; I handed over these checks to the custody of the assign ees about the beginning of the year; I handed over everything in my hands belonging to tbe Institu tion ; l don’t remember if there were any other ohecks except ohecks of our own bank, which were mark ed good; I have no doubt there were checks drawn by other parties .besides Mr. Newhall; there may have been a dozen or not so many; all the checks that were handed over to the assignees were In a bundle, and were not counted by me at the time; tho checks marked good were received as a special de posit, and were kept as a security for some matters in my hands. To the Court. These were checks and notes that were brought to the bank by Mr. NewhaU after tbe bank had suspended but were not put to his credit on the borks of the bank; I have no recollection or any other check that was paid in current fund* after the* bank stopped payment; there may have been some others that wore paid; I recollect Mr. W. P. Newlfn did get somo current foods for his check, which he af terwards returned in current funds in a few days; It may be possible that Mr. AUibone got funds on Mr. Lockwood’s check; I do not reoollect it; I recollect that Mr. Fell instructed me to give Mr. NewhaU $lO,BOO, and he left $lO,OOO in uncurrent funds; I don’t recolleot that any other person, got currentfuods. except parties who left notes for collec tion, aud they, of course, were paid in current funds; I recollect making payments to Mr. Walter for collec tions In current funds: I understood them to be for collections ; I recollect sir. Oox coming to me in rela tion to something that was deposited in Baltimore; I don’t remember the note ol the Schuylkill Navigation Company being there for collection; I say there were some funds deposited fa the ordinary way; none ef them remained more tb&n a day or two after the sus pension; after that, I can’t recollect that any funds were deposited ; I don’t recollect any ohecks beingpald after the suspension; Mr. Fell got no other money fa payment of the deposit of nncurrent funds by Mr New hall, except what was paid Newhall; there were no ohecks either drawn or paid after the suspension, that I recollect; what the other teller did 1 can’t say; I have not been active at all in this proseoutiou; the District Attorney had me before tho Grand Jury: the District Attorney sent for me, and I went to his office : I don’t think I was ever there but once; I have not written to him on the subjeot; I don’t know that I could tell anything by the examination of Mr. Look wood’s account; I don’t know that there was anybody present when Mr. AlUbone got the motley on Sir. Lock wood’s check ; the transaction took place at my desk. To Mr Thayer. I understood that after the failure of tbe bank, efforts were made to set it going again. I do not know that there was great anxiety to get in all the notes of the bank. I know that they were anxious to get in all the debts that were doe to the hank. I don’t know the fAOt that they get in a large snm of their circulation. They got it in »a payment for debts; wbatHmonot I esn’t say They allowed payments to be made in notes of the bank that were due to the bank. Mr. NewhaU brought In some several thousand doUars to deposit, which was made a Bpeclal deposit It amounted to $43,000 in the whole. He brought this sum to deposit in tho notes of the bank and ohecks. The checks that I have spoken of were not drawn against that fund that I know of. Those ohecks were not eba ged against Mr. Nowhall. I supposed that they wore charged against his account. I don’t know that ho had anything there tohla c eiit. fAcconntshown witness.] Have uever seen this account before. It is not in mv handwriting; have never mado it; don’t know anything about it at all. Mr. Thayer. Do you know what transactions are re ferred to in that account? Mr. Longhead. I object to that. The witness says be does not know anything about it; he never made that memorandum; it Is not his account at all, and I object to his being questioned about it. Ur Thayer Do you know Inwhosß handwriting ft is? Witness. TnMr Steelwagen’s, I judge. He was the general book-keeper of the Bank of Pennsylvania. To the Judge. The $26,000 mentioned on the ticket handed to me was composed of checks marked “ good,” and Bank of Pennsylvania notes. What the oheoks were I do not know. Mr Thayer handed the witness two checks, one for $6,000 and $7,310.03. both dated Ootober 6th, 1857, and signed “T.\A. Newhall ” > Witness. I think those are the checks for which I gavo current funds on tho6th of Ootober; I have so dcobt of it. Mr. Longhead. I object to those ohecks going to the jury now Let them come in their proper place—in the case of the defence. Mr. Thayer. These are the Identical checks. Mr. lougho&d. That is a matter for the defenoe. It will be for them to show how and when they got these checks. Mr. Thayer. They have been brought here to-d-iy by the assignees of the bank. They belong to the bask. Mr. Longhead Then you oan Fhow that. Mr. Thayer. But they were drawn against this spe cial deposit, on account of which there was da© to os a very large amount. ... . , Mr Lougheid. Yon are not on the witness stand, my friend. We do not want your statements made in that way. ...... Mr Tusyor. We do not wish to allow your mis statements to go. t Mr. Loughead. We shall pnt you on the witness stand when we want your testimony, sir. Mr. Thryer. I propose to offer these two cheoks in oridonco, may it please the court. The witness says ho holieves thot-o were the two checks which were handed to him for the current funds. Mr Longhead If it is understood that they come hero as the property of the assignees of the bank, and are produced by them, I have no objection to the checks going to the jury at once. Mr. Thayer. That is bo. The assignees have simply lent them to us for the purposes of evidence. Mr. Loughead. The faot of their being produced by tbe defendant would leavo another inference. Cross examination of Mr. Michener continued. The figures on the ticket—sl6,ooo and s26.ooo—wore made by me : I believe these to be the amounts of the Pennsyl vania bank-notes and checks deposited by Mr. Newhall In the bank; $26,631 30 represents bank-notes and checks deposited by Mr. Newhall, aud for the $l6 3861 gave slo,*oo in current funds, by Mr. Fell’s direction: tbe bank notes and oheoks mentioned on thattloket were not credited to Mr. Newhall in bis general account to my knowledge; If those sums were passed to New hall’s oredtt, and the funds paid on accountof them were charged to him, there would be about $l9 000 in his fa vor : after deducting other matters claimed by the assignees, there would be abouts9,QQO, NOTICE TO jCOIKREBFOIfOENTB.

Air. Longhead. May it please the Court, the next piece of evidence that X desire to offer Is a certified copy of the record of the District Court of the city and county of Philadelphia, of December Term, 1857 No -2443. in the case of John Pickersgill to Son against the president, directors, aod company of the Bank ef Pen* sylvanla. It is certified to be the fail and entire record up to this time. Mr. Brewster. That fs objected to. Hr Longhead. X invite the attention of the court to the copy of the instrument on which the suit was brought. Mr.-Brewster. If your Honor Trill glance at the first page of thatreoord you will see that the suit la now pending, now at issue, and tho last entry, I perceive, Is a rule for a commission to take testimony. I am at a loss to understand that the record of a pending suit can be evidence of anytb'ng Inthisinvestlgation. If this were the record of a judgment, it would hardly be admissible; *t would be open to the objection that it was res inter altos acta. But here this 1b not even the record of a judgment. It is merely the record of a pending salt between parties entirely distinct from Ihoßc who are connected with these'proceedings, and cm amount to nothing except the affirmation of a claim upon one side and the denial of It upon the other, 'because ybur Honor wiU see that there is a. copy filed by the plain tiffs and an affidavit of defence on the other side. That can under no circumstances amount to anything but evidence or a demand and refusal, and that is all it Is. in point of fact There is no recovery—nothing that would make it conclus've. If it were proposed to show by a witness that there bad been such a demand and refusal, of coarse I should object to it r it would hare no earthly bearing on this allegation. Mr. Longhead. I offer th : s record in evidence to ahow that the bill of exchange for £50,000 sterling, which your Honor saw yesterday, which was endorsed by tbe cashier of the bank to George Peabady A Co., &od by them endorsed over “ without recourse,” ie now in tho hands of third parties, and that. they have sued the Bank of Pennsylvania to recover the amount of that bUL I offer the entire record,- because if I offered anything less I should be probably met by the ob jection that if was not tbe whole record.. I offer it not for its contents; I do not propose to read to fbo Jury aay of it contents; I simply off* r it toes tsbish the feet that suit has been brought sgricst the biuk by the ho'der of that bill of exchange for the amount of it. That this becomes material evidence for the Commonweal th can be readily p-r**elved It has been shown that the Bank ot Pennsylvania obtained credit on Peabody’s account for that hill upon whioh Newhall had previously obtained a credit from the bank It was sufficient for the bank at the time to be credited with it in Peabody’s account: but that did not relieve the hank from detomd by the holder of the bill* It passed array from Mr. Peabody, aod aulfc has been brought to reoover it from the bank as endorser It becomes important, In that view, tosher* that although this transaction was apparently eloged it 'ls ret really open, and that the hank is still liable fer the bil Pay* tnentof it has been demanded. The feot that the bank reriets is no answer. It is in tbehsuds cf third parties, and soit was brought In tha name cf those Dirties who now own and hold the bill. Mr. Thayer. It i«emi to me, may it pleas* your Honor, to boa very plain matter thattte simple bring ing of a suit between third parties eaunot be given in evidence in a criminal canse to prove anyvfaet what ever. There would be very great doubt, indeed; whether. In case judgment had been given a record of a salt be tween third p*rtles could not be given, in evidence for anything at all. Tbe brlnsivff of a suit dots not prove anything. It does not even prove that the party bring ing tbo suit has the note or bill. Anybody can bring a suit; it requires hut the ncratoh ef a pea to do it; and a party wbo was dlaposed to make evidence might accu mulate any amount of it he desired by bringing suits and then offering the hrlnglog of those suits as testimony. Unless they can show some connection on onr part with this suit, what have we to do with the fact that A. B. has brought a sni t ? Year Honor knows very wel Ith at all that is necessary, in oraerto bring a suit, is for an at torney to write apr© ipe and carry It iato tbe Prothono tary’B office. Are weto be told'that tf-foyfeWof the 400 members of this bar chooses to write a praecipe is a ease between third parties, and to lodge that in the office of the District Court, evidence can be manufac tured against us in that way ? If they could ahow that we had anything to do with this suit, if th<y could connect na with the bringiogof it, this offer might have some plausible ground to stand upon. Bnt even if there had been judgment in the suit, there would be grievous doubt whether a record ef su?h a transection could be given In evidence the record being between third parties. Your Honor ruled out the book of the minutes of the board of directors upon greunds much less strong than those which aro objected to the record of this suit; and your Honor said, in effect, that the board of clrectors could not mike a record of their proceedings which would be any evidence against us. Now,-1 say that no attorney can make a record in the District Court which will be good evidence against ns. Tbe thing itself is an ex parte proceeding; it Is res inter alios acta / it is something that we have had nothing to do with. It is not a suit in whioh there has been judgi'Jent, and the /act of bringing tbe salt c&rnot he alleged to prove any thing whatever, because it Is a thing which, from its nature, any cun may do, and, therefore, from which nothing esn be inferred. Judge Thompson. Ido not think the record is ad missible at present for the, purpose for which it is offered. I suppose the most that can be inferred from the fact of suit having been broeght upon that bill fs that the bill, for some reason, was not paid; bnt I think it would be too strong an Inference to hold that the faotof a bill (which might have-been, for aught that appears, entirely fairly drawn) not having been paid would'form any part of the conspiracy. To allow proof of the mere fact of the non-payment of the bill, or of bringing suit upon it, as part of a conspiracy, seems to me to be giriog too large a scope to this kind of evi dence. 1 think the mere fact of suit having been brought in the Dlstriot Court upon this bill is not evi dence tending in any way to aoy combination, and for that reason I overrule it as evidence. Mr Longhead. I wIU call Mr. Churchman, prove another link in the chain, and then renew the offer. Charles W. Churchman affirmed.—l produced yester day the £50,600 bill of exchange; it Is cow io my fire proof; the bill was sent to me by Wm C. PickersgUL & Oo , of New York, as agents of John Pickersgill & Son’s, of London, for collection : there was a protest for non-payment, which is in the possession of Mr. Pickeragill’s attorney, Mr. George M. Wharton Cross-examined hy Mr. T*»aver.—l am acquainted with the house of Boston Bo Co., of Manchester, the acceptors of the bill, and have been-for some time, about eighteen years; their commercial standing has always been of the highest character; they have a branch at Bio Janerio,at Pernambuco, and at Bahia; it is a house always considered as one ef the first houses at Rio Janerio, where X had correspondende with them for many years; they are yet in good credit: I wee the first person who introduced Mr NewhaU to that house; ;he had very large lm&ineas relations with them; I knew it only by the communications of tbe parties to me; I know the fact from conversations In my presence at the time, and by frequent correspondence; I know the character and coarse of their business transactions; they shipped him cargoes ot coffee, and he shipped them cargoes of llonr. Mr. Longhead. I shall object to going further into the relations of these parties at this time. This may be very good matter ordetence. but it Is not matter ot cross-examination. My question to tho witness was simply whether he had the bill of exchange, and who were the present owners. I asked him not a word about Boston & Oo . or their business, nor is that germane question I put or the answers I eli cited. Witness (to Mr. Longhead ) You did not understand me as testifying to who are the present owners of the bill ? Mr. Loughead. X did moat assuredly. Witness. No. sir. I do not-know who the present owners of the bill are. Mr Irfwghead.. Then you only spoke as to who are the present holders of the bill? Witness. That is all. Air Longhead. That answers my present purpose. A holder is as good as an owner for the purposes of this prosecution. * Judge Thompson (to the witness.) I suppose you would accept payment of it. Mr Loughead. Not on tbe face or the bill Witness. I would take the money, but not Bank of Pennsylvania notes. To Mr. Thayer X do' not know, personally, that John PicketßgUl tb Sous, of London, are the banker* of Rostron 6c tan; I know they ora intimate friends In their business relations. Mr. Thayer I should prefer, before continuing the Cross-examination, to see the protest. The Judge. I see no objection to that. Mr Longhead. Mr. Wharton can produce it in e few minutes Tbe court took a recess for fifteen minutes; and. on reassembling. Mr. Thayer resumed t e cross examina tion of Mr. Ohurchman—l was instructed by Mr PickerfgiU that, if the bank would submit the * cermet to arbitration, and settle Mr Newhall’* account, suit would be stopped; I understood them to mean the general account; Mr Pickersgili said that, fullr be lieving that Mr. Newhall had no intention to commit a fraud on the bask, and that the bill was drawn r».r ihe benefit of the bank, if the bank would pay what it still owed Mr. Newhall on h!s account *(to be decided if deemed proper, by arbitration) the suit should be stopped; this was last September, long after toe bring* lug of the suit, whioh was commenced in January; the reason I did not mention it to the assignees was that, au assignment having been made r I eupposed the an si gnees had no power to make such a compromise; Ido not know, personally, that Mr Newha'l had made large advances to Rcstron Co. at the time of that draft; Mr. Hooker told me so; heisofthe house of Bostron * Go. . Mr. Longhead. I objeot to that. Mr. Booker is the person to testify to that This is not evidence. Judge Thompson. Of course not. To Mr; Longhead. Ido not know of my own know ledge of any suit, for I was never in the prothonotary’s office; the tenor of my principal’s note was that suit should ho stopped; I onplojed counrel (Mr. O. M. Wh.rton) to brio* .nit. on hsh.U ot my principal; I think mv instruction* to hand over .tho acceptance for collection wore shout tho 9th or 10th of Jauutry. To Mr. Brewster. Mr. Wharton has been my counsel for some years, and his employment by me was long be fore the commencement ef this prosecution The protest was shown to Mr. Ohurchman by the District Attorney, and identified by him. Mr. Loughead. I presume that now jay learn-d friends will not objeot to the admission of that record in evidence Mr Brewster. That is a very violent presumption. Judge Thompson. That seams to be superseded by living testimony. Mr. Loughead, We consider the protest in evidence with the bill. We offer It. „ , ~ Mr. Brewster. I speak, of course, only fer my cli ent. I axu not aware that tbe certificate of a firet?a notary is evidence under our aot of Assembly. O- Tta li ly it is evidence of nothing more than the mere fact ef protest. . Mr Loughead. That is all I offer It for. Mr. Brewster. As to the notioe, or any other RV.tSff it is, of course, not evidence. Judge Thompson. .Certainly °tt. [COSnSDID 09 BSCOSD PA9».]
