XI. OLD BAILEY PRACTICE. In the middle and towards the end of last century, there figured at the Irish bar a Mayo man, @ passage in whose life will interest. He was a descendant of the ancient and honorable Norman house of Costolloe (your Nagle and your Nangle are varieties of t/« Costelloe, be it nown.) He had received an excellent educa- tion, and possessed considerable legal know!- edge. He was shrewd; of much seeming gravity; “<a fellow of infinite jest’’—a living joke; witty himself, and the cause of wit in other men. He was, although his family had resided during six centuries in Ireland, a true Norman. He had been, in the year 1745 and subse- quently, a student of the Middle Temple, Lon- don, and had not denied himself any of the pleasures, or, indeed, any of the adventures, of which the English meiropolis afforded—that is, to the utmost extent of the means supplied by his family. Ie thus acquired a vast reputation of a particular kind among his cotemporaries, and even became the hero of a tale in which he was made to appear a staunch Jacobite, guilty of high treason; in short, in harboring the Pre- tender in his chambers. In juatice to the counsellor’s character for loyalty, it must be stated, however, that he wes maligned in that respect. I had heard and laughed at the story myself, and had even told it ence or twice with mach success. I had oo- casion to refer one day, however, to some of the old chroniclers of France, and found in Bran- tome the adventure which had been ascribed to Costelloc, related of the Duke of Urlcans, the brother of Charles VI. Continuing my inves- tigations, I hit upon it also in the «+ Esrai His- toriques of St. Foix,”’ and in an English ver- sion of it by Dr. Gilbert, in his + Views of Soci- ety in Europe.” This story was a specimen of a hundred anecdotes of * The Counsellor,”’ which I refrain irom giving here, not, however, because there is any doubtof its correctness. Fortunately, there is one which is not liable to the objection that imposes silence on me respecting the others, and which will serve to portray my hero in his Proper colors Ilis terms served, Costelloe was called to the bar in Dublin, where he gave unquestionable proofs of talent; but whether through indo- lense or taste, eschewing equity or common law, he devoted himself to what is termed Old Bai- ley practice, and in which he was unrivaled Une morning, at the time when Costelloe was in the height of hit reputation, the city of Dub- lin was frightened from its propriety by the announcement that Gleadowe's bank had been plundered of a large sum of gold, by the chief eushier, to whom its charge had been entrusted The alleged culprit was immediately taken into custody, brought before the city magisirate, interrogated, and the proofs of his guilt being held manifest, committed to Newgate. The whole process was terminated by 11 o'clock a m. Before the prisoner had reached his destina- tion, Costelloe was made aware of all the cir cumstances of the case by one of the cummit- ting magistrate’s clerks, whom he kept con- tantly in pay. This man had hardly left Cos- telloe's house after acquitting himself of his duty, when the Counsellor received a letter in- viting him to repair forthwith to Newgnie to eee Mr. ——, just brought in, who desired his advice. Costelloe proceeded at once to Newgate, for such a course was not then interdicted to prac- titioners by private resolutions of the bar; but even had it been be was not a man to be turned from his purpose by any rule that interfered, however slightly, with the indulgence of his humor He was there introduced to the cashier of Gleadowe’s, a man of serious, sanctimonious mien, and of some Gilty years of a The usual salutation over, and the door carefully closed. Costelloe, with that wonderful coup etl for whieh be was celebrated, saw at once the species of person he had to deal with, and begged to be infurmed why his presence had been requested * You have heard, probably, sir,” said the man, “that I bave been the cashier of Glea- dowe’s bank, and that it is suid a large deficit hag been discovered in my accounts?” ** That you bad been clerk of vld Gleadowe. I was ignorant,’’ replied Costelloe; “ but t have just been informed that his cashier has appropriated to himself one of bis money-bags, in fact that the bank has been rubbed by the rascal of a whole heap of gold.”” “Rascal! That is a harsh word, sir.”” “Not if applicable.”’ “Well, sir, [ shall not dispute terms, how- ever painfal toan honest, conscientious man to bear them. I am the party in question.” “* And you done the trick ’”” ~ a * You sacked the swag?” “*T don’t understand you.” “ Yeu've gotten the money *”” * Really, sir, 1 cannot comprehend you.” “ You robbed the bank ?”’ “Do you mean to insult me? I rob the bank! Lcieat my employer! [ plunder my benefactor, and preserve the fruits of it! No. sir; no! I bave not a shilling in the worid.” “Then, by » You'll be hanged.” “ What can you mean ?”’ “PU make tt as clear to you as that those fetters are of iron, If you have robbed the bank, you must have, at least, some of the money, and can afford to pay me well for aay- ing your life. If you are innocent, and con- sequently penniless, you will be weighed, as was Chir ua Gappul.” * Weighed !"’ ‘+ In the city justice scales. This case is <po- ken of everywhere, with this addition, that the Proofs against you are irrefutable.” ~* Then there is no hope?” “None, if you be what you say yourself— guiltless‘ for you cannot afford to retain me. who, probably, of all the bar, could alone give yeu chance.” Overwhelmed and horrified, the hypocrite, after some hesitation, admitted that he was in condition to remunerate the counsellor for undertaking his defence. “ What is your fee, eir?”’ he asked. ~* Ten per cent.!"” “Ten per cent.? pounds!” “So much the better for both of us.”’ After many futile uttempts to bea counsolior’s demand, the prisoner it, and gave an order upon his wife for the enormous sum of a thousand pounds, on an understanding that if the counsellors exer- ous should fail, he would return nine hun- dred and fifty younds of it to—the widow ! Immediately upon receiving this draft, Cos- telloe left the prison, and, without waiting to present it. proceeded to the Crown Office, situ- ate on South Cope street, on the site of the rear | orcourt-yard of the present Commercial Bu | jogs, which at that period resembled in its | functions the head police office of medern | times. ‘the sitting magistrate had rison, but the chief clerk was xt lis desk when Costellue entered. ‘Good morning, Mr. Johnson,” said be. The clerk returned the salute. “ Any- | thing in my way w-dsy, Mr. Juhuson?” he asked with the most pertect nowchalance. | “What, Counsellor! Have you not heerd of the robbery at Glealowe's?" : {,Gleadowe's ? dhe bank? ." “Yes; the cashier, who was deemed the | most trustworthy of men, has plundered the | cbest.”” * #lundered the chest ’’’ - * Extracted from it teu thousand guineas in | ay made up ia rouleaux, and has substituted jor them as many farthinzs.’’ } “ And got clear off?”” | Yo.

The evidence against him is conclusive ; for part of the stolen property was found ina secret draw of his desk, at home.”’ “ Did you not say that the money abstracted was ia gold?” ‘ é Yes; but those pieces have been identi- jos. * How’? One guinea is so like another ‘”” Why, that is a thousand Not a word of “True; but mark the finger of Providence! Along with the L panes the villain carried off ten foreign gold coins, Dutch ducats, which were also in the safe, and these have beon sworn to by his deputy, and will hang him. See here.” The clerk opened his desk, and took from it a small box. committed to his custody for pro- duction at the trial of the accused, and poured its contents into the hands of the apparently wondering Counsellor. Costelloe examined them, piece by piece, with the most intense interest, turned and re- turned them in his hand, and again regarded them with the concentrated attention of a Jew money-changer. The scrutiny lasted so long that the clerk manifested impatience. At length Costelloe restored them, observing, “The fellow has undone himself.” “What a fortunate foresight! Was it not, Counsellor?” ** Providential, as you just now properly re-" marked. Never was proof more clear.” After a few words further on general sub- jects, the Counsellor left the office, with a mind seemingly disengaged. That evening his oon- fidential clerk and secretary was seen to goon board a Liverpool packet which lay at Sir John Rogerson’s quay, and sailed half an hour after- wards. Some weeks later the prisoner wag brought to trial at the Commission eourt, Green street, andin the presence of as numerousan andience as had ever been congregated init. As usual, the counsel for the accused sat immodiately in front of him. On one side of Costelloe was placed his clerk, with whom in the course of the proceedings he frequently conversed, and whose hat was on the table before him; on the other hand of Costelloc was the attorney of the prisoner. When called upon to plead, the un- fortunate man, at the bar, with much emotion exclaimed “ Not guilty.” With a solemn severation he added, that the rouleaux of coin (farthings) found in the safe were those which had existed there for years and formed part of “the rest,” as he had been given to under- stand, and he had received them from his pre- decossor at the value indicated by the ticket sceched to each packet. He had never opened em. Costelloe cross-examined, but only slightly, the witnesses who deposed to the preliminary facts. At length came the turn of the deputy cashier, who swore that he had frequently seen in the chest the identical ten Dutch pieces of gold which the Counsellor had 20 curiously ex- amined at the Crown Office, and which the wit- Less bow again identified At this testimony Costellce looked serious. The examination in chief of the de ty cashier being over, and no movement made by Costel- loe, who seemed deeply absorbed in thought, the counsel for the Lies was led to believe that no cross-examination was intended, and accordingly told the witness that he might go down. “Stop a moment, young man,”’ said the Counsellor, rising, and with an abstracted and vacant gaze; ‘stop a moment. I have 2 ques- tion or two to ask you on behalf of my un stp- py client,’’ who now, feeling the peril in which us life was placed, began to weep bitterly The witness reseated imself, and Costelloe went on: * And so, sir, you accuse your friend of robbery ?”’ _ 1 am sorry that my duty compels me to give criminatory evidence against him.” *‘No doubt, no doubt. His conviction will gain you a step, eh?” “Sir, do you think it was under such an im- pression, and with such a view, that I gave my testimony ?” * Certainly I do.’ A murmur of disapprobation ran through the court at this insult to the witness. The counsel for the prosecution looked towards the beuch for protection. The judge, however, did not interfere, nor did he reprove the warmth with which they exclaimed against the “inde- cent insinuation of Costelloe towards a witness whose testimony, from all that Appezred, could not be impugned ;"" but his lordship evidently looked with interest to the development of Co:- telloe’s motive, knowing well that he would not have committed an indecorum go powerful Without some powerful secret reason. The wit- ness himselt, disappointed at the failure of the counsel for the Crown to interest the court in his feelings, beoame red with indignation. Of these circumstances Costelloe took no notice, but proceeded : _‘* And so you swear, sir, that those identica! pieces of goid in your hand this moment— where are they?” he asked rudely of the sol- icitor for the prosecution. They were again handed to the winess, and Costelloe resumed : “‘ And so you swear, sir. that those identical pieces of gold in your hand were in the prison- ers keeping?—now mind, you are on your oath!” * I do swear it.” _ ‘land me those coins, sir,”’ snid Costelloe, in a tone that os premed rage and fury. The witness complied, and handed them to the counsellor, who looked upon them with dismay. The witness was triumphant. The prisoner tre:nbled. The court was hushed. Costelloe sighed “You have sworn positively, sir,” said he, “‘and it will be well for you, if truly. Here, Sir, take your blood-inoney.”? He stretched out his hand, with a countenance half-averted, as with disgust; and, missing that of the wit- ness, let fall the mass into the hat before him, by the sheerest accident in the world. “I beg your ace sir, for my awkwardness,”’ said ‘ostelloe to the witness; the only approach to civility he had as yet manifested towards him. Then, putting his hand into the hat and taking up a single piece, he said : * You persist in swearing, sir, that this piece of money, the property uf Mr. Gleudowe, was in the prisoner's custody? Now mind, sir, none of your assumed contempt.’” “I mean nothing of the kind, sir.”’ “Then why look it? Recollect that you are swearing away this poor man’s life. Do you still say, fellow, that this. piece of money was in the keeping of the prisoner ?”’ The witness, brow-beaten and bullied, be- came more irritated. He took the dueat into his hand, and scarcely deigning to glance at it, said; +1 swear it!” “And this also?’’ said Costellue, taking up another one, and presenting it to him. * And that also ?”” “And this, and this, and this?” said the knave, producing from the hat, in succession, twenty other pieces of a similar kind. witness was horror-stricken, his hair stood on end. Th» counsel for the Crown looked blank ; the judge faintly smiled. The case was abandoned, and the robber saved. The affair was quite simple. It will be rec- ollected that immediately after his scrutiny of the ducats at the Crown office, whieh enabled im to fixin his memory their dates and effi- gies, Costelloe returned home; and that in the evening of that day, his confidential clerk sailed tor Liverpool, the least observable of routes. On arriving there the man went by inail to London, and thence by a Dutch packet | to Rotterdam, where he bought up a score of ducats of the dates indicated by bis master, with what effect I have just shown. — e- N>w.—Mr. Emerson,in his lecture on “Works and Days.’’ said many things worthy to be re- pexted # thousand times. Among the numer- ous striking passages that lodge in our memory is the ager; —The days are God's bust gifts to man, but like many, other ifts, pass by un- heeded and unappreciated.
