 the direction, which was much 

 blotted, and not legible. Mrs. 

 Scarborough received it from wit- 

 ness at the bar of the George inn 

 at Bugden, saying, " I know the 

 gentleman for whom it is direct- 

 ed, and will deliver it to him ; 

 you had better leave it." Witness 

 saw Mrs. Scarborough some days 

 after, who informed him the letter 

 had been safely delivered to the ) er- 

 son to whom it was directed. On 

 cross-examination, witness admit- 

 ted that lie was frequently in the 

 habit of deliveiing letters to the 

 prisoner for persons whom he did 

 not know, and particularly for 

 travellers upon the North-road, 

 who put up at her inn. He is

 turned to him. When Dr. Malt- 

 by came to the witness, some days 

 after this letter should have been 

 received, witness told Dr. M. he 

 had no recollection of having re- 

 ceived any such letter. It was not 

 till several months after, when 

 witness received a letter on the 

 subject from the Postmaster-gene- 

 ral, that he recollected that on the 

 day in question he delivered a let- 

 ter to tlie prisoner, the direction 

 upon which lie could not distinct- 

 ly read. The circumstance in- 

 quired into by Dr. Maltby did not 

 bring it to the recollection of wit-

 after, the letter he received from 

 the Postmaster-general brougiit

 received, except the one in ques-

 days after its miscarriage, that,

 mittance, he ascertained the fact 

 of such letter never having been 

 recei\ed.
