WHAT I SAW AND HEARD AT THE TRIAL OF THE TICHBORNE CLAIMANT.

[from our special correspondent.]

(Continued). London, May 16.

The claimant left Wagga Wagga for Sydney in June, 1860, but ho left. hi 3 wife at Goulburn. At Sydney he saw P.oglo, and got from him the Tichborne and Doughty crests, and some information about the Upton property. After his departure from \\ agga Wagga, a letter was received from Lady Tichborne by Mr GibbeSj which raised some doubts. The claimant replied, and said that his brother was at "Winchester College, Yorkshire ; and that Allan of Bridport, Devonshire, was his father's agent. MrGibbes was not satisfied ; he went to the office of Mr McCarthy, who was thesolicitorforthe bank, and the claimant was questioned. He said he was in the (Kith Regiment Light Dragoons (blue), only thir teen days in the regiment. "My mother went to France soon after I was born, to Cherbourg." g Early in May, ISGO, Lady Tichborne wrote to Mr Cubitt, of Sydney. In the course of her letter she wrote—"He (Roger) is a Roman Catholic, and used to be a very good one ; I do nob know what his religious feel ings may be now."

The claimant, who was married in 1865 by a Wesleyan minister, upon the receipt of this letter went to Goulburn, and was re-married according to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church. In signing the certificate he began to write T-i-t-c-h, and corrected himself.

On the 24fch July, 1866, he wrote to Lady Tichborne, telling her that he had seen Guifoyle, an old Servant of uncle Edward's. He says he cannot find "Bougie," and commends the soul of Lady Tichborne to the Blessed Maria.

Shortly after the mopey was found to enable the claiment to leave Sydney, and in September, ISGG, he left with hi 9 wife, children, a maid servant, Roßina M'Arthur, Pogle, and a lad named Butts. On the voyage he was very friendly with aMr Jones, and des cribed the miseries of his youth, his neglected education, and the St. Vitus's dance. There was another passenger, a Mr William Henry Stephens, a reporter for the New York Times ; both these gentlemen are to renew their acquaintance with the claimant during the course of the trial. On the 25bh December, 1866, the claimant "was on English ground, and there for the present we will leave him to follow his for tunes. THE CLAIMANT IN ENGLAND. "Immediately upon his arrival the claimant, "with the faithful Bogle,, went to Ford's Hotel. After a hasty meal he proceeded to No. G9, High-street, VVapping, the once re sidence of George Orton, but George was dead, so he went to the Globe, public-house, kept by Mrs Jackson. He was served with sherry and a cigar. '' Does Fre,d Cronin live over there yet?" he asked. "No," said Mrs Fairhead, who was present, " He got into trouble, and broke up." " Very sorry," said the claimant; "Are the Shotton's going on still ?" "They are broke too," was the answer. "About young Warwick?" "Oh, lie is dead." "Is young Wright, the ship, chandler, dead ? did he ever come back from sea?" "No, he never came back." "Doyou know anything about the Orton family here ?" The lady had known them. " Let me see," he said. "How long have you had the house—you took it of a Mrs Mac?" She said. " Macfarlane." He said, "Yes, Mac farlane, that is right." He wanted to get the address of Mr Tredgett (formerly Orton). The landlady said, " You look very like an Orton, and you seem to know the place well." " No," he said, " I am a friend of theirs , it is fifteen years since I left." He got Mrs Tredgett's address, and so finished the first day of his return to England, but on the following morning he was again at Wap ping. |)|jHe went direct to the address given him by Mrs Fairhead, GG, Alexandra Terrace, East India Itoad, but neither Mr Tredgett nor Mrs Jury happened to bo at homo, but an obliging neighbour sent her daughter with him to Mrs Pardon, a sister of one of the Jury's who had married ono of the Ortons. He sent up a card to Mrs Pardon ; the card ■was that of "Mr W. H. Stevens" his fellow passenger to England, but the word " Aus tralia " was .added. He asked Mrs Pardon about the Ortons—she said " Why you look very much like one of the Ortons." "Oh, no, I am one of the greatest friends of Mrs Tredgett's brother —he i 3 on© of the wealthiest men in Australia —I am a reporter of an Austialian newspaper, and have come to report the Fenian trials." Mrs Pardon said, " You certainly do look very much like an Orton." He left a letter for Mrs Tredgett, dated Wagga Wagga, June 3rd, 18G6,. in troducing Mr Stephens, his friend, who had promised to find out, and write all about the writer's friends. He hopes his sister will make his dear friend, Stephens, welcome, and signs " Arthur Orton." This letter has the remarkable double " G " heiroglyph. On the 30th December a letter was sent to Mrs Pardon, signed " W. H. Stephens," ask ing her to inform the lady for whom he left the Wagga Wagga letter that if she will com municate at once to the writer she will hear of something to her advantage, adding, " Please send what information you can con cerning Miss Loder and her own family, and what became of her brother Thomas's chil dren. Address, R. C. T., Post-office, Gravesend." On the 7th January a letter was sent to Mrs Jury, from Gravesend, again signed W. H. Stephens. He says :"I received your think you should be so mistaken as to think kindletterthis morning, and was very sorry to lam your brother. He sent the likenesses of his friend Arthur Orton's wife and child, gives them his addresses, R. G. T., Post office, Liverpool, and hopes to have the plea sure of becoming soon acquainted with his friend (Orton's) sisters before long, remain ing, W. H. Stevens. The claimant has already admitted that all these letters were written by him, that the photographs sent were those of his own wife and child, and he asserts that Arthur Orton never was married. Writing in October, 1867, to his friend "Rous," the claimant says — " The other side are very busy with another pair of sisters for me ; I wonder who lam to be next ? The man they think I am is still living at Wagga Wagga. They say I was born at Wapping. I am glad they have found out a respectable Eart of, London for me. I never remember aving been there. Signed, It. C. D. Tich borne."

He did not see Mrs Tredgett and Mrs Jury until 18G8, but before that he had been allowing thorn money. He says " whenever they wrote to me, and were in distress, I used to send them some." He did not see them, but he sc-nt them money and they never divulged the fact. But there was a Charles Orton, who found out the claimant at Croydon, and he received £5 a month up to August, 1868. When the claimant com municated with Charles Orton he did so as

to "Brand," the name Charles agreed to

assume in his intercourse with the claimant. Jn the latter part of 18G8, the claimant left I on a voyage, and he left no instruc •^lons for the payment to Charles Orton alias Brand. Charles was so ■ indignant that he gave information :to the attorneys of the infant baronet, and with this the Wapping Story may be closed.

THE SEALED PACKET.

In attempting to give an outline of the Tichborne trial it will be impossible to fol low the immense mass of carefully prepared details placed before the jury by Mr Hawkins in the opening of his case, but as the cele brated "Sealed packet" is one of the most important features aii outline of the story becomes necessary. The claimant, "on his examination in the Court of Common Picas, swore : That before going abroad he g;tve a sealed packet to Mr Gosford ; that he wrote the contents in Mrs Gosford's parlour ; that he read it over to him, sealed it and left it with him. He also swore that he was able to repeat the substance of the contents. Mr Gosford had already stated that in the full belief of Roger Tiehborne's death he (Mr Gosford) had'destroyed the packet. The claimant was, however, quite in ignorance of the fact that Miss Doughty had a copy given to her by Roger. The original was, as we have seen, a vow to build a chapel or church to the Holy Virgin, if the union between Roger and Catherine was brought about. The claimant's account of the packet is that he instructed Mr Gosford not to open it except in certain events, one of which (he said) I know has nobhappened, and the other I hope has not happened. He swore that ho did not give his cousin a copy of the docu ment. He Avas asked " What was the event you hoped had not happened," and after much pressing, he answered —"The confine ment of Miss Doughty." At the examination above referred to Miss Doughty, now Lady Eadcliffe, was in court, and the Attorney - General said, "Do you mean to swear, before the judge and jury, that you seduced your cousin." He replied, "Before my God I do." "This lady 1" said the Attorney-General, indicating Lady Rad cliffe. "Yes," replied the claimant, "that lady." " Where?" "At the mill." " When ?" " About July or August, 1552."

The claimant subsequently gave what he said was a copy of the document he left with Mr Gosford, as follows:—" Cheriton, Novem ber, 1552. If it be true that my cousin Kate should prove to be ericiente you are to make all the necessary arrangements for her to go to Scotland, and you are to see that Upton is properly prepared for her to live in until I return, or she marries. You are to show great kindness to her, and let her have every thing she requires. If she remains single until I come back I will marry her. In the event of my uncle and father's death you are to take full charge of all the estates on my behalf ; to keep the home farm, and repair the cottage at Prior's Dean. —Signed—R. C. TICHEOENB."

In whatever other particulars the memory of the claimant is at fault he claims to re member word for word a document ho says he wrote nearly twenty years since.

EXAMINATION OF THE FRENCH WITNESSES,

The Abbe Salis: Knew Sir James and Lady Tichborne well. Knew Roger Charles Tich borne well. Lived in the same house with him. Saw him after his return from Stony hurst, and before his departure for America. Knew him intimately and perfectly. Chatil lon was his first tutor, La Foret next; I followed for six weeks, then M. Jolivalt for three years, then M. Comet for ten months. After this he went to the seminary of M. Dupanloup. I taught Roger Scripture, history, geography, grammar, and a little of everything. Hl3 capacity was slow. He translated Latin with difficulty, but not bad for a beginner. Roger never confessed to me. He corresponded frequently with me. He spoke French well; much better than he wrote it. I saw him in 1853 several times before his departure to America, and dined with him at his father's house. We parted as we had lived, on the tenderest terms. In ISG6 Lady Tichborne was living in Paris. She spoke to me several times of her son, who was expected, when he arrived in England, and did not at once visit his mother. I told her it was very strange, When he arrived she proposed tome|to go and sec her son, andrecog nise him. I declined, saying " Madame, the truth for me is ' Yes' or ' No.' " She offered me a reward if T would go and i-ecognise him. Ido not remember the exact words. I re member seeing a tattoo mark on Roger's arm in 1850-51. I saw it after dinner at his father's house in Paris. I said, disapprov ingly " Oh, Roger, why did you do that?" The colour was blue. I saw the claimant in 1871 in London. I saw him yesterday. I see him now. He is not Roger Charles Tieh borne. There is no resemblance.

DOMAIN BOARD.—This Day

The meeting of the Board was held this day at noon in the City Council Chambers. Present : Messrs P. A. Philips, (chairman), Heale, Mitford, Stewart, Hughes, May' Warren, and Fenton. The secretary, Mr Browne, read the min utes of the previous meeting, which were confirmed. REPORT ON A PROPOSAL BY THE REV. D. BRUCE. The committee appointed to report on the advisability of the road being made accord ing to the proposition of the Key. David Bruce, stated that such a road would lead into the highest part of the Grafton Road embankment; and as it would also lead down a precipitous descent from Symonds-street, the committee express their opinion that such road is quite impracticable with any funds likely to be available for such a purpose, and would be useless to the public if made, dbti.l-shed. ■ It was moved by Mr Fenton, and seconded by Mr Heale, and carried " That the chair man be authorised to secure a provision in the Improvement Commissioners' Bill to the effect that the proceeds of the Drill-shed when sold shall be paid to the Domain Board." APPLICATION. An application was read from Dr Bulmer, asking for a supply of trees and shrubs to plant in front of the Keefton Hospital, which was granted.

ACCOUNTS. The several current accounts were pre sented, and ordered to be paid forthwith. This was all the business.

SUPREME COURT.—This Day.

SITTINGS IN BANCO

(Before His Honor Sir G. A. Arney, Kt.)

LOVEDAY AND BAIN V. S. JO2TKS. This was an application to dismiss an action for want of prosecution. Mr J. B. Russell appeared for the defen dant, and briefly stated the circumstances under which the application was made. _ The plaintiffs—Messrs Loveday and Bam —had been engaged in business transac tions with Mr Stannua Jones, and the action had been commenced for an account, and proceeded as fur as a settlement of issues, and a reference to arbitration on the 6th May last. Before the reference Mr Bain had left the colony, and it was believed had since be comebankrupt. Mr Loveday had since become insolvent, and no further movement in the ac tion had been made. Notice had been served upon the solicitor who had acted for the two plaintiffs, Mr W. L. Ilees, and an answer had

been received that no further proceedings would be taken by him in the mattef. Mr T. Macffarlane, the Provisional Trustee for the estate of Loveday, had also been commu -1 nicated with, but there was no .inti mation of any intention of the action being carried through. He therefore prayed that it might be dismissed. ; His Honor granted the application sub- I ject to cause being shewn by the plaintiffs, j or the Provisional Trustee, within fourteen j days, why the action should be continued. ' This was the only business.
