Mr. No: Rearly ond oi iy ve ‘fal allusion to the matter in the ped the slippers up, and the ladies left the store. The note they gave me was very much t laid iton my shelf behind the counter, (ter the ladies lett the place I pasted it, as i torn notes, and in to dry it entirely, ron. je.—This is all very interesting. Mr. Carrington, (to the witness.) —Come to the nt. Witness. Well, the note was wife on the followt morning on her way to market, which was the day before Christinas. She passed iton a man by the name or Bogus. Mr. us returned the vote to me inthe atter- hoon ut o'clock. It was returned to me with word that he bad deposited it in bank, and the clerk had discovered it was counterfeit, and returned it to him; I redeemed it. Q. State whatoccurred between you and Mrs. Hume and Mr. Hume. A. I was hot aware of who the lady was, and my only chance to find her-out was by the reappearance of this red- haired lady, which took place the followin, March. She came into wy store, and I asked her the names of those two iadies who purchased the slippers two days before last Christmas; she replicd one of them was her sister, and gave me her name as Mrs. Thomas L. Hume; I then stated my reasons for asking the question, and she begged me to say nothing about tt. Mr. Kiddie.—I object to the details of this conversation. Q. What did you do next? A. Two or three weeks passed by, when I went to Georgetown to see Mrs. Hume; I enclosed the $10 note in a let- ter which I had written her; I found that she wasin, but could not be seen; the colored girl returned to the door, and handed me the note; two or three weeks atterwards I presented the note again; I took the note and gave it to Squire Plant for collection, with instructions to present it to the lady as he would a bill. &. Did you give any instructions to arrest the lady, or anything of the kind? A. No, sir; i told him that was a thing 1 wanted to avoid above all things. Q. You went to see Mrs. Hume? A. Yes, sir, but not seeing her I gave it to Justice Plant to collect. Q. Did you afterwards collect the note? A. It was paid to Mr. Plant by Mr. Hame. Q. He redeemed the note? A. ir. x2 And thatis all you know about it? A. es, sir. You were asked whether you made any agreement with Mr. Prince, the pawnbroker, to sue the Star; the word “agreement” ts a rather technical word, will you please state all that occurred between you and Mr. Prince, the pawnbroker, in reference to it? A. Mr. Prince, the pawbroker, hadn't seen the piece when [ went to his store; I showed it to him in the store and he became very indignant, very much ex- cited; he wanted me to go with himto Mr. Noyes’ house at night; I said, “No, we will see him the next morning,” the next morning [ was at his store at ten o'clock precisely; 1 know it by the clock hanging up there, because { am very punctual; we walked together to the Star office; he asked me for the privilege of cominenc- ing the conversation with Mr. Noyes, and he did commence the conversation when we arrived at rhe office. . State what the conversation was? A. He told Mr. Noyes that he felt very much grieved at this piece; be stated that he bad been a heavy advertiser with the Star, and be did not see why he should pick at him and me, as we neither of us deserved it; and that he was not a manof that kind, who would settle a matter ef that kind with a drink, as the Star had represented be did. Q. You have stated what occarred between ou and Mr. Prince and Mr. Noyes; I want to now what occurred between you and Mr. Prince in regard to this agreement? A. Mr. Prince stated the night before that if the Star did not deny this thing and set him right before the public, that he would sue him, and asked me if I would join him in the matter, and L told bim cheerfully. There was nothing further given to my said. He did say that he would spend his last — but what he would be set right before the public. Q. Did you both enter into an oral or written agreement to the effect that you would employ counsel, and share the expense, or anything of thatkind? A. No, sir. By Mr. Riddle:—Q. Mr. Prince, did you say, yy the last trial, that before this publication itr Hume had been pointed out to youasa man who was going to give youathrashing? A. I might hav it, from this fact that he ap- — at my store on the — after Mr. nnett had presented the note to his lady, in a very excited state, and when he discovered — Mr. R ddie:—[am not now asking you about that, but] am asking you whetber you did not before as I have just stated. A. I cannot Temember; if the question was put to me I should probably auswer as 1 am answering now. By Mr. Carrin; :—Q. What did you swear to ai the last trial about that, tothe best of your recollection? A. I never saw Mr. Hume, but on the morning after the presentation of the $10 note, by this man Bennett, the collector; Mr. Hume came to my store, while I was out. Q, Did you swear at the last trial that Mr. Hume ever thrashed you, or threatened to thrash u, or di@ you have anysach apprebension. A. Titve no knowledge of it. Q. You did not say that he was pointed out to you across the street asa man who was going to trash you? A. No, because if I had, 1 would have been very apt to have gone and seen him. _Q. You did not swear to any such thing? A. (0, sir. By Mr. Riddle :—Q. Did the other Prince tell you about Mr. Hume having had him ia the cella A.

How far it will go in that direction’ is another quese tion. Ihave nothing to say about that; bat it appears to me that the whole of this COMBDY OF ERRORS, for that is the proper designation of it, may be given in evidence to show the real truth ot the matter. Q. Will you state if he told you about the transaction of Mr. Hume having him in his cel- lar? A. No, sir, Q. What did he ssy to you about that?
