I no- ticed that man particularly: I saw nothing of his original dress but his boots: I have been a shoemaker formerly; I heard Dr. B. speak about these land claims and titles, as the man in disguise mentioned: he made use of the same expressions, and there was a similarity in their speeches in certain phrases such as the frequent use of the word “consequently ;” in the manner of his standing and move- ments when talking, I saw a resemblance in Dr. B. tothe man who was disguised, frequently resting onefoot and then the other between the ban of the piazza, 50 that I could see his foot plainly: 1 made up my mind when Dr. B. came out on the piazza it was the other man, or that he'd got the other man’s boots on: there was nothing very uliar about them: oe were half worn, half soled rights and lefts of kip or calf skin: I found just such apairon Dr.B. here, when I was asked to go ond look at them: this was four or five days after: | madeup my mind at the time that these two persons were the same os positively asany iccey could not positively swear to: I have had no occasion to alter my mind: I have not al- tered it.

Cross examined.—I did not stay till the last part of his speech—this was about the middie: I took no notes of the speech : some of their leases he thought were oppressive, aad the reuts and regulations he did not like, as higher than they could pay to support others in luxury: he thought they had a right to redress, to discnssjon and to address and petition the Legislature to investigate the matter : I did not see the man who came out in disguise : I understood him to say that they were not willing to have these suits brought in the county when Mr. Living- son could jingle $1000 into thejlawyers pockets and the judges hands. ir.

Mr. Jonpan —That’s all Direct resumed —I don’t know that he advised the te- nants what course to pursue. Joun Haavicx.—I was atCopake on the 18th December: was in the carriage with Dr. Boughton and the Sheriff on the way in: think I heard Dr. Boughton say he had done noth! fog he could be taken up for; the Sheriff said he had. pointed hia pistol at him: Mr B. said it was no more than any p2rson would have done under similar circum- stances: the Sheriff told him it was, he thought, a bold show that some of the articles contained in the bundle were found in the drawers at young Mrs. Houseman’s. Mr. Granta objected, unless such testimony connected the prisoner. Covat.—If a murder was committed, the motive may be riven fer the commission of that murder ; and if a ro has been committed, and the motive is traceable to )b- bery, Lam inclined to think the testimony is admissible. r, Wxitia.—I put the question in relation toa bundle the contents of a bundie. We want to show that the contents were in the drawers of the bureau at the house ot young Mrs. Houseman the night of the fire. We want to Page thesetarticles to old Mrs. Houseman. If, in any stage ot the case, such testimony can be introduced, we court it; but we will not suffer @ separate issue to come in to esable the prosecution to hunt up testimony, which may have no connection whatever with the prisoner. The yarty must connect the prisoner. I think it the right course, and it may be right to state this to the Court, as J know what was the course of the last trial. Covrt—I am sure the Court and the jury will beable to discriminate ly in regard to the connexion of the prisoner. "It it upon the case you must copnect ‘he prisoner; butifor that matter, during the whole Course cf the trial, az far as we have gone ,to connect tx prison- er, 80 ans may be better to ascertain if there be any- thing in this testimony.
