To Miss Kato.
Uo and forget that Nye have met,
Go to the friends dearest to thee:
Loved as thou art, freely depart
When far away think not of tae,
Others more fair will receive thee,
Oarlands like mine they will weave then,
Smile and deceive they will believe,
E'en as I used to believe thee.
Though my - tears iin - er bidding thee go,
More should I weep user% thou to stay;
Better at once all hopes renounce,
Than see thee change day after day;
no I will never :wee so thee,
Seek hint NVIIOHOHIIIiIor may amuse thee
Ile in Into turn too soon may learn
What, I endure thus to loose thee.
Viewed by the light of my present ex
perienee, 1 rim bound to say that the
whole business in connection with my
early engagement to marry Louisa Lip
pesky seems to me to have been exceed
ingly impraident. Of course now lam
entitled to ask myself and marvel over the
inquiry, as every one else did then, as to
what I. could possibly have seen in her,
or what she could ever have seen 111 le,
to induce either of us to entertain the
opinion that our marriage was in any way
desirable. I may say thiS now, because,
as ;ill the world knows, thd whole affair
has been broken off years back ; because
there is not now the slightest suspicion
of a temlrcssr between Louisa and myself,
the mention of such a thing even sounds
ludicrously ; because she Fong ago mar
ried sorriCbody else (I need not. drtg
11:1M0 into the matter,) and has been, for
all I know to' the contrary (may I say
without being deemed a monster, crri, : to
the contrary ?) a go ,d wile to somebody
else; and -a good mother to sonthody else's
great army of children ; because all gloss
of sentiment has been completely rubbed
off our engagement and the old thread
bare thing is entitled now to no sort of
reverence or regard, and may just as well
lie hung up as a scarecrow, like other
worn out and contemptiblS matters, to
frighten and caution other people from
following in our footsteps. I hope and
believe that, 1 have a faculty for vencra
thm quite as great as any body else can
have. lam -sure that it in that old bro
ken off 'affair there lingered yet the small
est
trifle of real feeling, it should receive
recognition from.me I
AV
011hl qinl it
li.,sanctifyitiz the whole, and not rake
with my pen in sentimental ashes while
they were still warm, but pass on quickly
to other and more indifferent matters
But the truth 'bust be told—reticence on
the 'subject avails not. I never loved,
Louisa Lippesley ; although, rash erca•
!'ture Of iiincteen - ttlat 1:411s, 1 olio', ask, her
• to marry tile, as she—bless her :—never
cared a button about use, notwithstanclim ,
all she said to the contrary.
Iluw, then, came to pass our engage
ment ? Why did I. gaze into the calm,
11:•lit blue, perhaps rather cold looking
eyes. of Louisa,_and ex.press,..haltingly a
devotion I did not feel ? Why did Loni
i
sa glance at toy smooth face (may 1 add,
expressionless face ? I think [ may, em
trasting it with its present looks of power
ful intelligence and vivid sagacity ; if the
reader has any curiosity on this subject,
he has only to know precisely the sort of
man I ant now, to call to mind the pic
ture No. 194:3 in the Catalogue, "Pornait
of Gentlemen," by P. Green, in the -last
Exhibition of the Royal Academy, hung
near the ceiling, in the north-cast room ,)
—why, I say, did Louisa thus ,glance at
ine„whispering reeiprocity she did not pos
sess, for a passion that had only a suppo
sitious existence ? It sce n ts very unac
countable all this, cooly considered so long
afterwards. But it is best to say at once,
that it was all a mistake. \\'e did not
quite understand what was the matter
with Its. We were young practitioners,
and had got hold of an incorrect diagnosis
of our disease. People before now have
fancied themselves threatened with gout
when they have been simply .suffering
front chilblains. We took as a serious affec
tion of' the heart what was really but a
slight and evanescent irritation; and the
luck of the thing was, that no one was a
whit the worse for our misconception. It
was an error without Consequence; I wish
every error was the same. We were were
children, and we played at being in, love.
We played so respectably, that for Ei time
everybody, including .ourselves, thought
the play was earnest. They and wo were
the 'more deceived
Yet she was decidedly pretty, was
Louisa Lippesley ; a man might have
been very fairly and creditably in love
with her, supposing, of course, that per
sonal attractiveness in any way justifies
lovd. Certain ladies, I kiicrw, who just
ly, perhaps, pride themselves rather on
the prepossessingness of their minds than
of their bodies, denounce - :.steadily the
possibility of love being founded' upon so
frail a foundation as a mere pretty face
and figure. Still, treating it as a man's
question, which it really is, after all, I re
peat that a man might have been very
fairly in love with pretty Louisa Lippos
ley. The only: difficulty in my case was
that, perhaps, at the time I was hardly
to be called a man ; I was rather a boy.
Yes, Louisa—my Louisa, I had a sort of
right to call her then; just as people say
my house, although they aro only tempo
rarily in possession, under:an 'agreement
for three years probably—my Louisa was
unquestionably pretty. The next time

higtory, I thought loved devotedly—
only that she had much prettier shaped
feet, did not turn them in so persistently,
was not stuffed with sawdust, and never,
that I am aware of, adopted silver paper
as an article of attire.
She was the yOungest and prettiest of
four sisters, Jane-Ann, Charlotte and
Amelia.—With every desire to regard fa
vorably young ladies who were likely to
become by my niarriage'elosely allied to
Inc, I must say that 1 did not like very
much either Jane Ann, or Charlotte, or
Amelia Lippesley. Perhaps, as it seem
ed to 'me that I had giVeti all my affec
tion to Louisa, I did not appear to have
any ready balance for distribution among
her sisters. Very likely they intended
to be kind to both of us, and I am sure
they were very fond of Louisa, even
Ito spoiling her, if that had been pos
sible. 1 hey always' called her " Pet;"
I " Darling," and " Baby," and were
always making much of lir, and do
tingly, smoothing her splendid amber
hair, rolling her glorious ringlets round
their fingers, fbndling her, putting their
arms round her waist and lilting her off
the ground—for she was very little and
light was Louisa. And she was always
regarded as quite helpless, and unable to
do anything for herself. " You can't do
it, Baby dear, let me," said sturdy Jane
Ann. " It's no use you trying, I'et, you
I know, - Charlotte would explain. "0
you silly Darling, how rou/i/ you think of
doing it by yourself Amelia cried out,
when my Louisa made any exertion for
her own behoof. So, weighed down by
these enostulations; per
haps hail a natural talent fur indolence,
\yds quite willing to abandon all effort to
help herself', and to allow her sisters to
mend her clothes, or make her dresses,
or trim her bonnets, or finish her-dre*-
in7s, or complete lier daily hruir's prat.-
Lice on the piano, or accomplish her sing.
inir lesson, or do anything else for their
fancy oat - desire to aid her could suggest.
One result of this was, that my Louisa
appeared to he wholly unoccupie.., from
day's end to day's end—doing nothing
but lounge about. listlessly,
.and yawn oe
easionally in a distressing manner. She
looked ornamental enough, it must be
owned ; yet, it never occurred tune, even
in the wildest moments of my imaginary
affection fi- her, thit my Louisa was par-'
ticularly useful.
The Leppesleys resided at Ilighbury.
I occupied apartments at Pimlico. How
did we become acquainted Who intro
duced me to the family Y I remember
now, that I was taken there by little
Finlnwood, who was Itlr. Leppesley's
nephew, F believe, at that, time was in the
same office with me at Blotkins and
„lilogburo's, Bedford how. At an eve
ning
y - at the -- "Lipptsloys' , l first met
Louis:l=in it white lace dross, with a sky
blue sash—(sashes were fastened then at
the back, and streamed from a bow of
large size—l remember thinking even on
illy first, introduction, that the sash wits
malched in color with. my Louisa's
'eyes ) Of course, seeing - my - Louisa I
fell straightway in - love with her, or
thought I did, and went home to Pimli
co and dreamt of her; and the very next
Sunday found me at Highbury ch-irch,
shamefully uninterested in the sermon,
and outraging- seriously the feelings of
the beadle N,ho had shown me into a pew,
by my consoles movements and wild en
deavors to round a corner, mnd catch a
gli nip , e of my Louisa's fair lace in a
'white chip bonnet trimmed with farget- .
we-nuts, lier amber ringlets bursting out
in front in a wonderful decorative man
ner. (For et-cry woman then, I may say,
wore profuse curls in haat, and no one
would have thought, of permitting all her
' hair to tumble nut at the back of her bon
net—like
ir sort of cushion covered with
chenille, in the present fashion, which I
admit is pretty, and would he more so if
one could honestly believe that so notch
)gorse hair, in the form of " frizzes," did
not help to swell the chenilled cushion.)
" Ilow I've been deceived in thitt young
feller !" I'm sure the beadle must have
meditated. " I guy-- him a good scat,
right under the pulpit, where he can 'ear
no end—and only see how he's behaving
—bobbing about like anything!" In
truth, I thought the sermon would never
finish ; and I was contemplating the pro
priety of an Act of Parliament to limit
the duration of sermons, making it a
penal offence for any clergyman to 'be
longer than ten minutes in the pulpit.—
Bbt of course, i. was relieved at last ; and
waiting at the church door, and removing
a very shiny hat, and in a series of my
best bows to Mrs. Lippesley and to the
four Miss Lippesleys. " How very sing
ular !" they all said ! and soon I found
myself walking towards their house, and
carrying all their church services for
them, and-still more desperately in love,
as I thought, with pretty Louisa Lippes
ley.
must do Louisa's sisters the justice
of saying, that from the very first mo
ment they quite understood that my ad
dresses were paid to her, and not to tiny
of them. Perhaps my feelings, while
they did not admit of much concealment,
were nor, on the .other hand, liable to
much misapprehension. The sisters at
at once made way for me to walk by the
side of my Louisa, and wore fond even of
obtruding opportunities for my congers=
ing with her. Probably, as the recog•
nixed beauty of the family, she must, they
Iblt, in the first instance, attract tar more
attention, and admiration than they could
ever hope for. I think: her superiority
was so thorougly acknowledged; that they
ptit away from_ thenisolvesTall notion of
jealously or annoyance:-that she a younger
sister should: be preferred to them. They
boilldn't resist teasing her, however, a
little now and then --- on'the subject. I re
member noticing occasionaly a good-deal
of nudging; - and whisporifig and gigling
Would noon - among the - - young ladies';
and sometimes my Louisa, hurt by too
much of this conduct, :would- look rather
as though she was g,oing to cry, and
would e.kplaio- in -a pained voice, perhaps
a peevish voice, "Don't, Jane
wish you wouldn't;" or, "Be 911;4,
CARLISLE, PA., FRIDAY, SE
(Tharlotte—how can you ?" or, "Have
done, Amelia, do, .or I'll toll
. ma.. I
won't be teased, I won't." Then, if any
of these remonstrances came to - tlfe - earof
' Mt's. Lippesley, she would ely. ,- :-but;,- in
rather a loud ; glowing, I may even say a
gurgling : contralto voice, accompanied by
much eatuberanee of gestienlatinn,

on. In this way it soon became evident
to me that my Louisa was her marunia's
favorite child, and that the mann:O.:Was.
not a lady of any extraordinary stretygth
of intellect.
Mrs. Lippesley was a widow, andlad
been in that forlorn condition; it believe
for a considerable number of ydars. She
Iliad long ago given over weeds, it secined
though ; indeed, at the time I had. ,the
pleasure of her acquaintance, it might be
said that she had decidedly taken to.flow
ers instead. She affected a verir decora
ted style of heal dress, and looked some
times as though she had been in a sort
of floral shower bath ; and while some
of them in their descent had lodged upon
her head others were dangling down her
hack or streaming about all parts of her
dress. Frequently she would mix straw
with her flowers, end look for all the
world like a very mature Ophelia,-rather
over made for her mad scene; while now
and then she would abandon flowers in
favor of feathers. T have kniiwn her also
to have mace diversion at times .ia. the
dirretinn of velvet, spanglcs,—steel beads
and gold tmisels. She was partial-to eel

Concerning the late Mr. - , Lippesley,
was able to arrive at no certain informa
tion. From the young ladies I. could on
li ly obtain the vague statement, that their
l'a pa had been " something in the City ;''
which did not afFord me any very definite
idea as to his occupation. To Mrs. Lip
pesley I did not dare to put any que:tion
or oiler any suggestion on the subject.--,
She always produced her handkerehieci i
and betrayed symptoms or , extreme eme•
(ion whenever allusion to her late hus- I
band had been made; and. as I was.quite
sure that she was capable of having a
fainting fit - , or even or sorrc , odoriog,k9T-!
self to an attack of hysterics, I
. otetirrk
from all attempt at divellin4 upon a mat
ter likely to produce such terrible conse•
quenecS. She was a woman rather proud
eLlwr- weak nerves..Arottrer.Sensibililies,
and of her liability to agitation npoicsllght
provocation. She abandoned herself to
lice feelings, and seemed happiest when
gasping and choking, waving her white
laced handkerchief, tears in her eyes, arid
thoroughly surrendered to nervous excite-!
ifitlit. " - Bless - Jon - , my -- darling boy," t
she cried to nic once, very shortly atter
my first introduction, " I feel towards you
as if you were my own—own son) . And
she kissed me on the forehead, almost vi
olontly, and shook hands with me with
exaggerated cordiality. Iler hands were,
very fat, and felt, rather like pincushions
In my most friendly numents I always
had the idea in connection with Mrs. Lip-I
pesley's hands. Au restr, I may say,
that she was fond of reading' tlII•ee vol
erne novels, of' reclining on the sofa, and !
of wearing carpet slippers.' Of course, I
soon informed Fluke wood of the, footing!

I afterwards ascertained. the value of
the last part of his remark.
Certainly the course of the untrue love
subsisting 'between me and my Louisa
appeared to run very smooth. No obsta
cles were interposed. From the first, the
object of my introducing myself4e the
family seemed to be appreciated. I was
a well received guest and a family friend,
and almost an accepted suitor before I
had ventured to reveal to my Louisa how
deeply I imagined that my passion for
her was ploughing up my heart. SoMe
how, it seemed to be all thoroughly taken
for granted by everybody concerned, with
very little effort on my part.
" She's a treasury !" Mrs. Lippcsley
would sometimes exclaim, with a burst of
emotion. " Site's-my only during child.
Don't -think to take .fier from me—don't
dream of partnig, us—don't, you wicked,
cruel, hard-hearted man. I I should hate
yott ; I should indeed—oh !"—atid then
happily, tears, ould some to her relief.
Perhaps it was only natural that after this
I should look out for an opportunity of sta
ting to niy Louisa how fond of her I sup•
posed myself to be. It did not occur to
me then, though I am fully awake to the

tunity for making a disclosure of my sen
timents to Louisa Lippesley. I had great
doubt, however, about finding her in a
state of mind - appropriate to the purpose , :
I remember making a first-attempt at a
declaration, and uttering about a quarter,
say, of a proposal, one Sunday evening in
the summer-time. Louisa was engaged
in eating a green apple in the garden ;
too much engaged for she appeared to
take no notice whatever of my remark:
Perhaps--it-was rather feebly-put find not
very intelligible , and so I was compelled
'to abandon the effort until a more favora
ble occasion. When reommeneed again
my Louisa looked so much as though I
were teasing her, and so strong an incli•
nation to cry was expressed-in her face,
that I again broke down, leaving my feel=
ings only fragmentarily expressed. On
the-next opportunity I dechred myself
as suddenly and thoroughly as I could.
Louisa said simply, " I'll tell ma!" and
hurried away. I could hardly decide
whether the observation was to be inter
preted as an acceptance-or a rebuke; wheth
er she was about to invoke a mother's
blessing or a mother's vengeance. I was
soon relieved, however, if it could be call
•ed relief, by Mrs. Lippesley's falling heavi
ly upon me, and fainting in my arms,
with the woris murmuring on her lips,-
" Take her Bless you—you cruel crea
ture. Oh, how could you ? Be, happy.
0 my own sweet darling pet—my treasure
—my'llear, dear Loney," plc , &c.
Of course, after that event, my Louisa
and myself were formerly considered as
engaged, and people seemed tome to do
all they could to titi•de COntitiu
ally upon our attention, to thorotighly im
press and imbue us—not to say bully us
—with it, and make our lives a burden to
us in consequence. 1 know lalways felt
somehow as though T were branded like a
fehm, and the word "ertgaged" stamped
upon my forehead ; and 1. did not feel
near so comfortable as I had expected.—
Certainly 1 had a good deal of my Loni
gl'S society—perhaps, indeed, rather too
much of it. The family made quite a
business of bringing us together. The
back drawing room was especially devoted
! to the tenancy of the " engaged couple, -
as everybody seemed determined to call
us. There we were expected to sit and
talk and make ourselves agreeable to each
other for hours together.. With every
desire to be charmed with my Louisa, I
began to discover eventually that her
strong point Wil3 decidedly not conversa
tion. ! In-fact, after one had got through,
and knew by heart, and exhausted thoro
ughly the witcheries of her blue eyes,
her
-amber tre ! sses,lier delicate complex
ion and her red button-hole mouth, there
was not much'else of my Louisa that w , s
Worth dwelling upon. These udvanta'jes
were quite unexceptional; but I felt alter
a tinie thlitiVerilirs then.: was something
mere required. I had all the sensations
of having dined off a sottlflet, very pretty,
delicate and nice, but dreadfully deficient
in substantiality. It would have been as
well ytudyubtedly, if I had discovered -all
this Irfenro - fliodght of aedWinginy 10 - Ve !
for Louisa ; and of course 1 could not
breath e a syllable of my ideas on the sub
ject to any one, and meanwhile the family
seemed to be doing all they could to prose
cute the unhappy you g creatures who
had made such a dreadful mistake about
their feelings. "'There's nothing- like
people knowing each other thoroughly be
fore they marry," )1 es. Lippesley user to
say ; "it saves ever so much trouble after
ward's. Bless you, my dear soul !" and
so she drove us together to sit for hours
in the back drawing room, wondering what
we ought to say to,each other, and what
we ought to do to pass the time. Ilow
my Louisa yawned during those inter
views; and sure I was very often on
the verge of sleep. I had always to sit
next to her at dinner, at tea and church.
If 1 accompanied tile Lippesley's to an
evening party, I was chained to my Loui
sa's side all the evening. "Of course
you trust not think of dancing with any
body else l''—so Jane Ann, Charlotte,
and Amelia Lippesley in turn exclaimed
to me. " You must not think of such a
thing, or Loney will be .co angry !" and
I believe poor Limey was threatened by
them with my displeasure if she ventured
to solace herself with the society of others.
So we were together all the evening, dumb
and sulky and wretched; pointed at by
everybody as an "engaged couple," and
giggled at by young people accordingly,
and jested at freely by elderly folks who
had too thoroughly enjoyed their suppers;
and in an entirely false position, and
ashamed. The love we have imagined
lasting as an edifice of stone seemed to be
molting away,like a snow image, and may
Louisa and myself grew to be very sick
indeed of each other.
Of course this is looking at the thing
in its worst light possible. There were
times when we were rather loss bent upon
being so,mutually disagreeable. There
must now and then be a sort of pleasure
in being in the company of a young and
pretty creature such as my Louisa, even
though she had mental deficiencies and
an inclination to be peevish. I did, I
confess, often enjoy the fact of wanking
about Highbury with my Louisa on my
arm,—the white chip bonnet, with its
lining of amber ringlets, close to my shoul
der, and button-hole mouth cooing pleas
ant nothings, merely 'Noes' and 'Yossos'
as a rule, trying to believe that I adored
passionately, and was so fortunate as to
be - about to marry eventually, the woman
of my_ohoiee. Still this-was-quite in
what I may call the• honeymoon of my
engagement. There were after moons
very much less luoious in quality.
In - time, too, I begaa to understand

donment of all formality; but I soon found
it was not quite so agreeable to be regar
ded, wholly as a male member of Mrs.
Lip I esle 's famil a.s I bad been antici la-
ting. I don't know how the late Mr.
Lippesley might have been viewed, but I
found myself considered in the light of a
superior servant to the family, out of liv
ery, and unrecompensed,by wages. I was
perpetually required to ' -be-in,:attendance
on ss. Lippesley. Wherever she de
sired to go, my presence was invariably
insisted upon, by way of, escort; I was
always loaded with shawls, wrappers,
muffs, parcels and umbrellas. I was
shivering outsille theatre doors at mid
night, struggling to get cabs . for Mrs.
and Misses Lippesley; I was compelled
at all hours in the morning to see the
Lippesleys home to Ilighbury from even
ing,parties in all quarters of the town be

to sleep at my lodgings at Pimlico. I
was once; I remember, running all night
about Islington in the vain bope'of ob
taining, change for a sovereign in order
to pay the 'cabmen who had driven Mrs.
Lippcsley'bome from an entertainment at
the house of a dear friend of , hers resi
ding in Peekham. For one serious draw
back on the pleasure of accompanying the
Lippesleyes in .their pursuit of pleasure
was, that I had invariably to pay the cab•
fares, and it was this I found that my
friend Flukewoud so much less solicitous
for the society of his aunt than had for
merly- been the case.— "She's let me
in awful, she has, taking her to evening.
parties ; it's your turn now, old boy !"
so he addressed me. "Take her to Turn
hout Green next week ; all right, go in
and win !" But the tact was going in
and losing; and that was what I com
plained of. For my allowance, in the
way of pocket-money, was not very liber
al, and, of course, I was bound to make
my Louisa a trifling offering now and then
—a silver thimble, a work-box, Moore's
Melodies bound in whole calf, a Scotch
pebble b;ooeh bog wood and Irish-dia
mond bracelets, &c., and really I could
not.elfo•d to maintain this runious expen
diture in respect of cab hire without leav
ing myself postively penniless. It was
all very well flit- my friends in the coun
try to say that they did not understand
my expences being so enormous, and to
decline sending any further remittances
until 'next quarter day, Michaelmas-day.
What was t io . do in the meanwhile ?
How was Mrs. Lippesley's cab hire to be
paid ? and here she was proposing that
we should all go to llamagate for a month,
and would doubtless leave me to pay the
steamboat fare for the whole party there
and back to say nothing of disbursements
for donkeys on thesaudS,Thaekney-coaches,
bathing machines, &c.
row was all this to end ? lam afraid
I must confess .that my visits at-Mrs
Lippcsley's house became nt last less fre
quent ; perhaps I. was haunted by the
fear of liabilities for cab hire I should be
unable-ter meet; perhaps-also- it must be
said by a strengthening conviction that
my love affair"" had been a mistake. A
sham sentiment had been passing current
for real ; it was time to detect and nail it
to the counter. Like one of those pup
pies which look so pretty and thorough
bred in their extreme infancy, and eyen
tually grow up' into very decidedly ugly
mongrel curs, the loves of my Louisa
and myself, deemed to he so gertuinovin
the beginin7, were found in the end to be
simply most unreal and mistaken. The
cilium of our passion was in its youthful
ness ; that gone, only absurdity remained.
My Louisa went out of town ; she was
to spend a month with some relations at
Portsmouth. We made some show of
keeping up a correspondence. Poor crea
ture I We deemed that we were bound
to interchange hollow, flaccid, feeble let
ters; but these dwindled and dawdled.
A month passed—two months, three
months, and for a king time I had heard
nothing of Louisa, and I had not even
been to call upon Mrs. Lippesley; cer
tainly my passion had very much evapor
ated. Suddenly I met Mrs. Lippesley,
with Amelia; they had been at the morn
ing concert at the Hanover Square Rooms.
"It's not been my doing—indeed it
has not," Mrs. Lippesley • Ceclai med vio
lently.
"What'is the matter ?" 1 asked.
"You've not heard, then Ah, I must
break it to you: My poor Lousia—she's
engaged -to be married—Major—, of the
. Bombay Artillery—a dreadtul man! pro
mise me you will not seek to injure him."
Fervently I gave my word I would at
tempt nothing of the kind.
"She's a coquette—l say it though I
am her mother. My poor boy, I pity
you from my heart—lndeed I do. I can
imagine your feelings : lAA time will alle
viate them. Ah, the tears will come my

besought her not to distress herself.
"You forgive her then ? generous heart,
I see you do. Bless you! (then after a
pause) "Will you see me into a cab !
Thank youi!—Have you any silver ?" Sno
I parted with Louisa's mother : my en
gagement was broken off. I don't think
Louisa over regretted it am sure I did
not.
Is it necessary to say that I did not
challenge the Major.
It was all an imprudent business, and it
was very fortunate that we discovered in
good time how much we had changed dur
minds.

A Singular Defense
The following remarkable defense of a
prisoner tried for a highway robbery will,
we doubt not, interest our readers; but
we have no mode of ascertaining when it
occurred. That it is not of recent date is
certain, because it appears in a, work that
was presented to the late Sir John Con
roy when officially connected with his
majesty ; the King of the Belgians. in
1832.
A gentleman, followed by a servant in
livery, rode into an inn in the west of
England one evening, .4.little before dark.
He told the landlord that he should be
detained by business in that part of the
country for a few days, and wished-to
know if there wore any amusements going
on in the town to fill up the interval of
time. The landlord replied that it was
their race and assizes week, and that he
would, therefore, be at no loss to pass
away bis leisure hours. On the gentle
man s remarking that this was fortunate,
for that he was fund of hearing trials, the
other said that a very interesting trial for
robbery would come on the next day, on
which people's opinion were much divi
ded, the evidence being very strong against
the pnisoner ; but the man himself per
sisted resolutely in declaring that,heAvas..
in'a distant part of the kingdom at the
time the robbery was committed.
The guest manifested considerable anx
iety to hear the trial, but as the court
would probably be crowded, expressed
some doubt of getting a place. The land
lord told 'him there should be no difficulty
in a gentleman of his appearance getting
a seat; but that, to prevent any accident,
he would himself go with him, and speak
to one of the beadles. Accordingly, they
went into court next morning, and through
the landlord's interest with the officers of
the couti, the gentleman - was shown to a
seat on the bench. Presently after, the
trial began. _
While the evidence was proceeding a
gainst, him, the prisoner had remained
with his eyes fixed on the ground, seem
ingly, very much depressed; till on being
called on for his defense, he looked up,
and seeing the stranger, he suddenly fain
ted. This excited some surprise, and it
seemed, at first, like a trick to gain time.
As soon as he. came to himself, being
asked by the judge The. cause of his be
havior, he said :
" Oh, my lord, I see a person who can
save my life: that gentleman," pointing
to the stranger, " can prove I am inno
cent, might I only have leave to put a few
questions to him."
The eyes,of the whole court were now
turned upon the gentleman, who said fie
felt in a very awkward situation to be call
ed upon, as he did not remember ever to
have seen the man before, but that he
would answer any question that was asked
" Well, then," said the man, " don't
you remember landing at Dover at such a
time ?"
To this the gentleman answered that
he had landed at Dover not long before,
but that he could not tell whether it was
on the day he mentioned or not.
" Well," said he, " but don't you recol
lect that a person in a blue jacket and
trowsers carried your" trunk to the inn ?"
To th's he answered that of course some
person had curried his trunk for him ;
but that he did not know what dress ho
MEI
" But," said the prisoner, " don't you
remember that the person who went with
you from the boat told you a story of his
beitrg in the service, that he thought him
self an ill-used man, and that ho showed
you a rear he had on one side of the fore
head '!"
During this last question the counte
nance of the stranger underwent consid
erable change. He said he did recollect
such a circumstance, and on the man's
putting his hair aside and showing the
scar, he became quite sure that he saw
the same person. A buzz of satisfaction
now ran through the court; for the day
on which, according to the prisoner's ac
count, the gentleman had met with him
at Dover, was the same on which he was
charged with the robbery in a distant part
of the country. The stranger, however,
could not be certain of the time but said
that he sometimes made a memorandum
of dates in his pocket-book, and might
possibly have done so on this occasion.
On turninc , to his pocket-book ho found
a memorandum of the time be landed,
which corresponded with the prisoner's
assertion. This being the only cirortm ,
stance necessary to prove the alibi, the
prisoner was im media tely acquitted, amidst
the applause and congratulations of the
whole court. Within less than a month
after this, the gentleman who came to the
inn attended by a servant in livery, the
servant who followed him, and the pris
oner who had been acquitted, were all
three brought back together to the same
jail for robbing the mail ! It turned out
that this clever defense at the trial was a
seheine skilfully arranged by the -thief's
confederates to obtain the release of their
accomplice!
