This deponent further says, that se far as he intervened in any part of sail discussion, it waa to complain of the attemp's to encumber the case with irrelevancy, and that hs vever in apy way claimed the om bebalf of his clien! w object tothe aforesaid qpe to ssid Caleraft. This deponent further says, it throughout said -risl hi: to aveiding exceptions whice some and expensive consequ-noes of a new tria!, than to ny other subject, aud that iti wholly impoasi vie ‘rom the feeling by which he was uciuated in this respect, that the could have made the obj-ciion snove referred to. So was this epprebensina that repeatedly during the ‘tial this deponest omi'ted to svail oimeelf of valuable evidence silowed by the Cours, because an exception being tekem, he ((his deponect) foagined there was a re- mote possibility thata Court of A» pesl might deem the ex- ce; welltaken. This cep nent says, that the case or ofexceptions prepared in the cause was very lengthy ‘that more than 8 0 amendments were proposed to ic, and thst tho drawing and setting of such amen iments in- volvede great amount of labor, and cceupied some two years, ceponent further s4ys, that the bill o° exsep- tions as propo-ed, com'ained a very great number of points of law not raised at the trial, and tor waich there ‘waa no pretence or celor in anything which occurre: at the trial, and net iv any way susisined by the HkRALD report bereinafter mentionec. {his deponeut drafted the amendments to the proposed bill of pxceptions, ani as to the matter aforessid did propo-e by the 79th amend ment te insert the words, ‘oo the ground that it would tend to degrade him.’ H» further says tuat imme iately fier the word * decision,” a» i vow appears in che said folio of the said princed bid ot exceptions, thee was in sorted in ube propure: bill the foilowicg matier:—* De- fendant cHlered to prove by this wituess the sdulterour habits end associati ns of witness ac the time of the adul alleges in the ¢ rapi-int setweee the pluintil sud wituers. the plain iil’s coucse| objected.

That this deponent had never previvusis ‘o that tinue reed the printed case or re- perused the bili of exerpuoms, not deeming such precaution mecersury, in consequence cf his great familiarity with the facts occurring at the trial. This deponeat further sayr,«n im‘ormation and belief, that said Granby Calcrat has departed this lif: since #aid trial. He furtoer says that he said bill of excep- tions is erroneously reitled; acd teat the words, “the laintif’s counsei onjected to the wi'nese’s,’’ in the suit ,856th folio of the seme, as printed. ought to be s‘ricken out, end instead thereof there ought to be i:serted these words, f.. “the suid witness opj-cted to.” Ana this denonent says that the said bill of exceptions, if thus swonuded, would be true in tha’ respect. [his deponent further ssys that if sueh untrue und erroneous sta‘e- ment should — in aa bill of exceptions. it may materisty ani unjustly prejudice piaintif in this case. ¥ CH. O’CONOR.

This deponent assented to the amendment of said O’Conor, ttuiking sid exception from tac bill, be- cause he dio not consider the same vi'al, an¢ with a hope of @ more speedy settlement of the till; that the o>ee- tion on the trial to the quesiten put to Cutcratt (‘atio 1,886), “For what pu did you visit ber?” (meaning Mrs. Robinson) was wade by the raid 0’Conor, ‘and was not made i the said Calcraft; that this deponent well recollects the occurrence, and to confirm his recollection in this respect, has referred to a report of the trial made with unusual general accuracy by the reporters of the Hit, at 98, to a report oi the trial pudlsted by Stringer & Townsend, page 65, and has caused references to be made to the report of the New York Daiw Times of Janvary 10, 1852, end a report of the New York Eren- ‘ing Post ot January 9, 1852, by every one of which re- ports it appears that the objection to said question was made by the said O’Conor apd not by the said Calsraft: end this seponent bas been able to find no report of the said trial which states differently; that this d+ ponent re- pus the necessity of opposing bis sta.ement thus direst- ly to that of seid O’Conor, and wuld besitate to do so, although sustained by the examinations he has made, and by his own clear recollection, if be had not had oc- casion to observe on the argument of the case and previ- ous'y, the inaccuracy of aaid (’Comor’s recollection in reference to the facta occurring on sxid trial; thi a8 ome instance of such inuccuracy, he states that at folio 1,787 of the case appears the following admission: *‘l lainiiff’'s counse] admitted that Mr. Forrest arrived from that tour in company with Mrs. Forrost, on the 17th ot July, 1844,” that one cf the amendments proposed by said O’Conor was to strike out said admiasi a; ‘that on the settlement of said bill said O’C mor not only utterly denied having made said admi,sion, bu® offered to make an affidavit that no such admission had been made: on recurring, however, te Judge Uakiey’s notes, which are not remarkably full, said admission was foun? insert: ed therein, and the admission was therefore oraored to stand as a part of the bill; that in roerence to the statement of said O’Conor that his a:tention was givea to avoiding exceptions on the trial of aid canve, aad that with this view he repeatedly during the ‘rial omitted to avail bimselt of valuable eviderce allowed oy th» Court —2 statement frequently made by said O'Convr, and now confirmed by bis oath— this ceponent states ttat with bis attention thus cailed to the subjec!, he bas been quite unable to recol.ect any such absteminusness oa the pert of said O'Conor, but to the cortrary thereof, th» impression made upon the mind of this dep»nent by the course of raid O’Conor en tne trial of said cause was very vivid that said O’Conor was determined t> get'a verdict in said cause by the use of any and ew mears that the said O’Cenor considered allowable. I eponent dees recollect that, said O’Couor declined to read, under the exception of this dep ment, tue testi. movy taken on a commisti n which Judae Ouk'ey desided that he might read, but this cep n-nt suopoed that such omission was owing not only to tho knowledge that the decision could not ve sustained, but that the t-sti- mony, from it: scurrilous and fil_hy character, would damage the respondent more then (re appellant; and this ceponent re‘ers to the numerous excep!i ns now cvutaic- ed in the bill as settled, for proof of the fact that if said O’Conor’s attention was given, a0 he states, to avoi ting exceptions, he was signaily uns ccesful in accomplixt ing bis purpose. Ana th.s deponent furtker states that the original bill of exceptions pr posed in this case was intended to present, and this dep ment bolieves did pre- sent, @ substan iaily accurate bistory ot the sase, so far as it was proposed to review the same; ‘hat in prepa-ing it the Hekatp report of the trial was much relied on, frem its krown general accuracy, conceded, as this deposent believes, by said O'Coner, and from a belief thas Justice Oakley would prefer this report in settling the bill, to his own imperfect novex; that it is quite possible that in preparing and revising so volumi nous a bill in so short « time, errors way have ocearred, but the statement ef said 0’Conor, thar the propo-ed bil. ot exceptions ‘contained g:eat number of points of law not raised at the trial, and for which where was 00 pretence or color in anything which occurred at the tial,” isuntrue. Faqvally untrue is the statement in said affidavit, ‘that it was well understood early in the tral’ or at apy time on the trial, ‘that if questions not relevant to the issue, and tending to degrade the witness were put on cross-examination, it was the privi- lege of the witness only, snd not the right of the party producing him, to object.” No such uncerstanding ex- isted: but, on the contrary, Justice Oasiey, at £1. 375 of the bill as now tettled, expressiy refused ao to instruct the witness Anna Flowers, and this rofasal far‘hor states that of the large number of amendments propos- ed by respondent to appellant’s bill, very much the largest portion were disposed of by agree- ment between the ssid O’Conor and this deponent: that any of said amendments were agreod to by this deponent because of their utterly triviel character; many were abandoned by said O’Conor for reasons of his own; thet those which remaine¢ were settled by Justice Oakley, and that if the argument of the case is now to be arrested and an amen¢ment proposed by Mr. O’Conor and to by this deponent is to be stricken from the ease, or any other amendment made, this deponent shall ask for a resettlement of the entire case, in the settlement of which, as it now stands, as this deponent believes, injustice has been done to app+llant. J. VAN BUREN. Sworn before me this 16th day of January, 1856. Taos. J. OAKLEY. The Chief Justice here read hi: own minutes of the tes- timony of Capt. Granby Caleraft, by which tt appeared that the witness was arked who the person was that he went to see, and the witness objected to answer because it in- volves his private affairs; it was a woman; he did not re- collect her name. Q by Mr. Van Baren—Do you know Mrs, Robinson’ Witness declines to answer; the Court Groote him to aero A 140; suareaiied some months ago in Watta street, &e. (. For what purpose did visit her! (Objected to, and excluded.) a Mr. Van Buren—The whole point at issue in, whether coursel or C Caleraft, the witness, objected to the witnese onswe: wr that to thet last & ‘Tho Chiet Justice—It dees not ap question Calcraft objected. All that I can doin set- tling this exeeption is to send a copy of these minutes to the Court of Gencral Term. Mr. O'Connor said it was undoubtedly true that the pee bill of exceptions was +ent to bis cflice and lily glanced at by him. He asked no bette: proo’ than the Brat report to bear him out shat the objection to answer was made by the witnes: The following ex‘ract from the pamphlet report of the trisl, a4 published bv the Hera» law reporter, was read in part by Mr. O’Conor and in part by Mr. Van Buren. It is on the cross-examination of Capt. Granby Caleraft :— Q. Whore were you going that evening? A. I was going to visit a triend in the upper part of the city, but ihe name of the person Ido not think It necessary to mention: T decline to answer tt Mr. Van Buren said there was contradiction between the wi “oe and Garvin a8 to time and be insisted on his right ton reply. Chief Justice to Captain Calcraft~Why do you decline to answer! Wimess—It involves my private business, and I don’t wieh to mention it in a conrt of justice. Chiet Justice—Kuswess of what character? All witnesses: ere bound to answer, unless it would Lend to degrade them. ‘W itwess eaid be had no dist Tecoliecdon ot where it was. Mr. O'Copor said that if the visi was on ich would tend to affeet him. be is not bound to auswer when (he aaswer is not relevant to the issue. Mr. Van Huren said that be felt all a'ong the embarrass men's that w: uld arise from those inquiries; out He submittec that as rimiler questions were permitied to be put to the de- fendant’s witnesses, he was cutitled io pursue this inquiry. ‘he Chiet Justice ruled that the witness "as not privieged ty decline answering, unless the visit would sunject him to any ciegrace. Q. What was the neme of the perarn you had tosee? A. I realty, at this period of time, dom’t recoliect. Q. Was it» mau ora woman! A Iiwasawomen, (Laughter) Q. Was itm woman whem you had seen bet re?

Witrces—Then, on those grounds. I ¢ecline 'o answer. Mr Nan Bureufsaid lie unders ood the rule was that the wit Desa Was bound to answer, unless it subjected him to a criminal prosecution, snd it certainly wonld be to the defendant's ad vantage, if, at this poriod of the trial, any other rnie was made ‘The Chiet Justice said Mr. Van Buren waa mistaken; he did not then recollest any witness who had declined to anawer on Uigee grounda. Mr. Vao Buren—Anna Flowers was asked as to her scaling, and as to her having had @ child, ‘Chief Justice—A nd she wast old she might answer or mot, ax she pleased, and she answered. An to tbe circumstance of her having bad & child, she ead Yoluntartg told that, and therefore there was no question of degradation about it. Mr. 'Cono? ald the rule was substar tially laid down in the outset of the trial, in regard to Mr, Forrest. A very little re fiecdon on the state of society would show that ingairie« of this description would not tend to the ends of justice. He submit- ted that that question, nor anything tantarrount ta it, canoot de pat. ‘The witness bas declined to answer, on the ground that the faite’ youd degrade him; and the counsel has the benefi: of bis refusal, ‘the Chief Justice said that he did not ee the necessity of going into the particniars cf this visit; he did not see the rele varcy of It, Jourt would, however, postpone its final de cision on it til] morning. ‘They woud bear in mind that Capt Calcrafi dees not remember ihe name of the per-on he went to see. and therefore the further inquiry on that poiat would be unnecessary. Van Buren—But I intend, plewwe your Honor, to brio the name of the lady distinctly 1 bis recollection.

Mr. (Conor continued to say that the only way in which ho is shown to participate in the objection was that it appears at @ late period of the crons-examination he (Mr, 0°C.) objected, “even if the witness was willi to amewer.’’ He had no objection to the whole of this bog Ay the Dena report which be had read being the exception. He ited bis error in not amend- Ing the exception on that point.

Mr. Ven Buren continued to cite from the priated beok of the bill of exceptions, and the reourt of the pro- ceedings, and rid that the question before this Court was distinctly as to by whom the ob. ection was vaixed, as to the witness giving the name of the fady. He referred to the report pubiished by Stringer & Townsend, which states that to the question ‘Mr. O’Conor onjected,"and the Heri report, in which it aprears ‘Mr. ©’Conor ehjectei, ev-n if the witness was inclived to answer.’’ He thought this motion should be denied; be onjected to its beiog grant. ed; and if it were granted, he would appeal from the ce- ciston of the Judge. The coun-el for the resp ndeot havirg had thirteen months to umend the case, uod nav ing amended thie precise exception, it is for the Juage to say whether he would re open rhe case, Sir O'Conor replied, contencing that by the reporta of the case it was apparent that the onjection was made by the witness himself, and be submit ed that this bil of exceptions cught to be correcte1. ‘The Chief Justice had already stated that this part of the Lill of exeeptions was never under his con-ideratioa it was @ part that had been ag eed up:n bs the couare:.
