Mr. Brady (to the Court)—I insist upon her answering both questions—where she lived in Boston, and by what name she went, Mr. Cutting denounced the way in which the dofence were acting in thix examinati He had even, he said, borne with exemplary patience the impertiaence of per- sons sitting round the counsel—some of them official and suggesting questions. But, said he, I may call upon one of there officia's and find out what he knows. Mr. Brady denied that any person around him had mece suggestions. Mr. Cutting—You have not heard them? Mr. ee the person. Mr. Cutting declined. Mr. Brady—hen | say that the statement ts<—ut- terly without foundation—that not a single official, high or low, bas suggested a single question to me in t care. The only official near him was Alderman Drake, and be certainly made no su in, Mr. Cuttirg insisted that Court should iaterfore with the cross-examination, and tthe witness from. being sompel'ed to answer questions having ne bearing on the case but which would tend to her among ber neighbors. Mr. dy would be the last person to do anything which would hinder a woman from returning to the Han! of virtue, but he was not to be imposed upon by bypocriny and the pretext for reform. He wanted to show by Ler civulging her name and place of reacence that she is leading a fe in Boston quite the opposite of a virtuous one. Witnes:—When we went there we did not dare to go by wy husband’s name, for fear of arrest; we do not now go by that name, and as many ladies have called upon me, I do not want to be thought little of by co Q. What name did you go in — AI gave the name of Conway to my buthe made » mistake and got my right name. Q. What is the name of your landlord in Boston? A, I do not recellect, sir; it was not I who hired the house; it was my husband; that tenement was kept by my eldest sister; I believe there is a written agreement for two ‘ears abi ut the house; I did not read it, and cannot tell ‘he meme of the landlord. Q. Did not your husband hire those premises in his own name? A. He said not, sie. Mr. Brady could not conser t to have his questions as to witners’s name and residence in Bostom remain unan- swered, if be had a legal right to have them anawered. Witness (to Mr. Brady)—1 do not know the Chicf of Po- lice i Boston. Judge Roosevelt considered that as the witness had gone go far in her anawers, she might with propriety go further, but, neverthéless, he could not say that she was legally bound to answer ‘Sh Brasy promixed to prove that the house where the witness lives in Boston is the house of a panel thief. Judge Roosevelt considered that where so much is Ynown of the character of the house, it must be known where that house is. Mr. Brady—Oh, we know all about it; but we want to contradict all that this witness says or intimates about her course of life in Boston. Judge Roosevelt—Then [ think it is unnecessary to in- sist on this witness answering questions which she thinks may be cerogatory to her character, Mr. Cutting suggested that there waa nothing in the threat of coupsei on that print, as all these collateral matters, where answers are given, are conclusive. Judge Roosevel. would recommend the witness to an- swer both questions, but would not insist upon her doing #0, for the reasons she stated. Exception taken to the Judge's ig. AJuror—Will the witness answer as to the street or Josality of the place? Witnese—Well, Boston is a different city from New York, and if I were to tell the street everybody would know me, particularly as being a stranger; it is near the State House where I am living. Q. In October last were you ia company in thiy city with Mrs. Burtis aud Lydia Van Tassel? A, I called upon Mrs, Bortis, Mr. Brady—Yes or no ? Wi ness—I cannot answer in that way. Judge Roosevelt—Certainly the witness has a right to ouswer how she was in company with her. Mr. Brady—Certainly she has not. Judge Roceevelt—Certainly the counsel and Court do not agree. Q Did you see Lydia Van Tassel in the month of Cetoder let’ A. L think I did, at her house: I went oat on business, and when | returned Mrs. Burtis was there by appointment. Q. Were you present when either Mra. Burtis or Lydia Van Tosse}, in October last, was arrested for stealing / A.

He intimated that though Rachel’s engagement had cloeed here, he did not want to see his learned friend take her piace ; Mr. Cutting (to witness)—Have you not stated, and Ix it not a fact, that no minntes of evidence were taken in the Grand Jury room?

Mr. Brady utterly objected to all these dramatic repre- sentutions, which were got up for effect. ‘The next witness called for the prosecution was Rey. Beury E. Montgomery, (the clergyman who married Mr. and Mrs, Connolly, in Philadelphia).—Witneas—1 am minister of the Gospel of the Protestant Episcopal Chiro! in Apnl, 1883, } resided at the corner of Tenth and Fits” weter strects, Philadelphia, then known as Moyay ; my parish was that of All Saints, Moyamensing; 1 duce the parieh register of that chureh: in April, Bs, the 29th, I married Wm. Peter Connolly to Margaret Mary Murphy; this is the original entry; Ihave « private ac account book, where his name is entered; the date ear- responds with that in the parish registry; (certificate bonded to witness) ; the endorsement on that is mine; the signature is mine; the word Apnl ia written over the word Muy; the alteration ix a correct one; 1 am almost certain it ls not inmy handwriting; I'have nov the slightest recollection of the transaction. Dross-«xagpined by Mr. Brady—It is obvious that the ink veed in the alteration ix of a different color from the other; Lhave not the slightest recollestion of the altera- tton in date deing made by me; I have no recollection of correcting a marriage certificate after the night that I gave it, nor have I avy specific resollection of duing it at the time; Ihave not, tomy knowledge, eon, eithor of there parties since; 1 have scon the witness in Court, but being a little near sighted, Lam unable to say whether that is he person. Mr. Brady would wish witness to be allowed to look at ber lonely, to seo whether she is the xarne person he hat married. Witzexs to the Court—The endorsement was mide by me, 1 beliéve, at the time, To Mr. Cutting—What impression does the difference of color in the ink make on your mindy A. It is barely possible vhat I may have aipped my pen in anothor iakaitand and written the word “April” withit. The letter P on the en- Coreement is a shade darker than the other two words, “ Willlean”” and ‘ Connolly.’? Q. Is there a greater or difference of shade between the letter P,” and * William’ and “Connolly” than there is between the words ‘April’? and “Muy?” A. The difference in shade between the letter ‘ P” and the other words is, I think, greater than tho difference be- tween the word“ April” and the word © M Mr. Cutting—Be good enough to look at the words “Margaret M. Murphy’? on the endorsement and ‘20 April, 1863,”” in your register, and say what difference of shade there is between them’ A. The shade in the parish register is slightly darker than the other. Mr. Montgomery #as then conducted into the office of the District Attorney to seo Mrs. Connolly and decide whether she is the same whom he married on 29th April, 1853.

Mr. Cutting informed the Court that he offered this tes Umony so asto cutoff an argumeht which might be made to the jury, #« tothe improbability of the story that aman with a large salary, and not in necessitous cireumstances, would have reesived #500 to procure a notle prosequi in his own Court againxt a criminal, He propored to chow that Judge Stuart was then so greatly Karnrred, that he had the Sheriff at hie heels with execu tions for the paltry sum of $14 and $141. He wanted to meet and rebut any argament that might be mae as te the iwprobability of Judge stuart being actuated by any such motive as the sum of $600. Mir.

CASE FOR THR DEVENCH. Mr, James 1. Brady stated that it wus not the iateation of the Counsel for the defence to make an opening to the nsliering the course of proceeding, the rendy occupied in the trial, and the im material collateral matters introduced by the prosecution, they ‘were not disposed to prolong the investiga ' nov did they deom it necessary to do no. But hqeulmitted to ihe Ce 86 matier of law, that the indictment against Judge rt has not boen in any view sustained by the evidence. He had mentioned to the Court at an iy, stage of these proceedings what the indictment wos in its frame; and he thought then, and thovgbé wtill, that xo fur from’ the indictinent being sus- tained a matter of law in its theory and frame, it is, on the contrary, entirely disproved #4 matter of lag. The low of 186 dees not, he eald, go no fur as to way that the mere understanding of an nceused that he could he approeched for the purpose of de thing in fteolf corsuyt, is of fixelf sufficient to convier him; and ax thin biibery statute is intended to reach persons in office, the sccured ix tried merely for an abuse of his offical ollice, and for an abuse from corrupt motives, This act of 1853 ‘was framed to meet, and only meeta, cases of official cor- ruption; but there can be no couvietion on an indict- mcnt for an act not committed, but only intended to be consummavéd and perfected. Counsel challenged the preduction of any statute which authorizes the couvic- tien of & man on an indictment for having perfected an act by proof of an intention to pi ‘the ment, he continued, wen that th ree! ‘a bribe to have a nolle prosequi enter case of a man bamtd Wm, Cosgrove. Now the prosecu tion have endeavored to prove, and have proved that there was no such man connected with the case, of the name of Wm. Cosgrove. But he would let tha! pass for the present, Mr. Brady then read the indictmont, He would not say that it is skillfully and artistically pre pared, for it is not. But i it meant avything, 1 was, that Juege Stuart received a bride of $500, on the condi tion that in his juatetat capacity, he would procure to be entercd, and did enter, a notle prosequi in tho case of 4 person indicted for an offence; and it was uecexsary on this indictment to prove that the act was consummated. It is proved conclusively, he that there nover was a nolle prosequi entered in the case of Mr, Cowgrove; thnt Indictuzent is still pouting; and the second Indictment inst Mr. Con oolly iy absolutely # nullity. If the evi cence of the principal witness could be searched and some little glimmer of truth found in it, still there would be nothing in it to show that a nolle prosequi wns ever entered by Judge Stuart in his Judicial capmelty. But he would submit. ant cad witnesses for 1) purpose of proving that this woran, Connolly, was not entitled to the slightest credit whatever. « Brady however, as- sumed that the Court would not—as it might do—here ipeharge the prosecution, om the ground that it cannot maloteined, Mr. Cutting insisted that Ifa Jucge of # court ef re- cord should sgree to receive, or should receive, a bribe from @ person, for the purpose of doing any! oor. rvupily, and should afterwards violate bls Pro: » he would still be Hable tobe indicted and convicted. ‘But suppore, enid he, that the law were «o absurd as to pro vide that no person should be convisted who did not ful- fil ida promise and give full consideration for the weibe received, then even #o he would insist in this case that the consideration for the bribe was given in this case. contended that there wax legally a nolle prospui enwertd, Judge Rovsevelt did not think it necosmary for counset to mabe an argument on that point, The offence, he id, is in the fance of the money, with the under- standing. Whether the subsequent proceeding was vulid or not, he did not deem it beceteary now to consider, Mr. Brady with Mr. Cutting ta the full th and breadth of his argument. But he did argue 1 where a statute makes it a State prison offence for Judge to receive a bulbe, and also makes it a State prison offence for a Judge to agree to recelve a bribe, the ac ewed who fs indicted for & bribe, cannot be convicted on evidemes of an {i a eens ee iac, YW P. peodue: Se ae ah? taken in the ind Jury room, r. Cutting denied that any minutes of Mrs. Connolly's evidence had been taken. Prady intormed Mr. Cutting that he (Mr, B.) fad eppiied for, and received a memorandum feom Me Vall of the evidence given by Mra. Connolly. Mr. ¢ sting explained that that peper was a inere meino- randum by Mr- Hall, redueing to writing his recollection of the evidence given by Mrs. Connolly in the Grand Jury 100m, and this, of course, could not he per e evidence in this case, Mr: Hall was in the vickaity of uw court, that if counsel wished to examine him ax to what évt "ence Mra.

Mr Brady (deliperately and resolutely)—There ia not one solitary particle of truth in the statemeot that Sr Ball, ly or indirestly, told me, or hinted to me. thet that memorandum was anything bat the regular minutes of evidence, taken by Mr. Hall in the Grand Jury room. And he (Mr. Brady) thought that where a Dis- trict Attorney privately and steaithily, in conjunction with another Judge, procured an indictment to be found » glocin snd in the dark, against a fellow officer, tt was not loo much to expect that he would laform counsel, for the scensed,of the steps taken by bin toetlect the object Wir.
