'Who instmota yon, Mr. ClincberT' "Mr. Bentley, my l«rd." The judge looked more astonished than ever. My name was ftwitrtfar enoagh to him as a judge, and he had known it even better when, as a leading barrister, he had held many a biief from me. "1 am peisuaded," taid he, "that a gen tlman of Mr. Bentley's repate and experi- ence has good reascn for what he does. Bat so eztraorduary and anheard-of I will ask Mr. Bentley himself if he really con- siders that duty requires him to offer him- self as a witness, and when and why he came to that conclosion!" "My lord," I replied, "I am certain that, believing what I have had canse to believe within tne last five minutes, I should be greatly to blame if I did not testify on oath to certain facts which are within my own knowledge. Bat if the prisoner chooses to call me as a witness, joor lordship will pres- ently understand why it is that, with all submission, I cannot at this moment, or un- til lam in the box, give my re awns. And I niust add that the value of my evidence to the prisoner will greatly depend on his answers to certain qaestions which I wish, with your lordship's tanction, to put to him in writing. And if he answers me as I ex- pect, I believe my evidence will put an end to the case against him." "Really, gentlemen of the jury," siid his lordship, 'tnfs matter is assunUng a more and more remarkable aspect. I hardly krow what to say. Ti at a piieoner on trial for his life should answer qaest'Jons put to him in private by the prosecuting solicitor is the mest extraordinary proposal, I am bound to say, which ever cem3 undtr my notice. It is the more difficult fcr me to decide be ciuse the prisoner has not the advantage of coun- sel's assistance. -^Prioner, is it your wish that this gentleman should be called ai a witness en your behalf Yoa have heard what he has said about certain questions which he wishes to put to you belorehand. Of course you are not bound to aiiswcr any such qucsiions; and may nevertheless cill him. What do you say? '-I am in G3d's hands, my lord," answered the prisoner, who was quite calm ai;ain. "It may be that He has raised up a deliverer for me â€" I cannot tell. Bat I know that it He wills that I shoald die, no man can save me; if He wilis to save me, nought can do ire harm. So I am jeady to answer any questicns the gf^ntleman wishes." "I piopoEe," said the judge, "before de- ciding this extraordinary point, to consult with the learned Recorder in the next court." All lose as the judge fetired; and daring his absence I escaped the qoestions which assailed me from every side by burying my- self in a consultation with my counsel. When he heard what the reader knowq, he fully upheld me in what I- prop}8ed to do; and then threw himself back in his seat with the air of a man whom nothing could ever astonish again. "Si-lencel" cried the usher. The judge was returning. "I have decided," said he, "to allow the questions to be put as Mr. Bentley proposes. Let them be written out and submitted to me for my approval." I sat down and wiote my questions, and they were passed up to the judge. As he read them, he looked more surprised than ever. Bat all Le said, as he handed them down, was, "Pat the qaestions." I walked up to the dock and gave then into *he prisoner's hands, together with my pencil. He read them carefully thioagbi, and wrote his answers slowly and with con- sideration. With the paper in my hand, I got into the witness-box and was sworn. My evidence was to the effect already stated. As I described the man I had seen under the Jamp, with my face averted from the prisoner and turned to the jury, I saw that they were making a careful comparieoh, and that, i^Uowing for the change wrought by twelve years, they found that the de- scription tallied closely with the man's ap- pearance. "I produce this paper, en which I just now wrote) certain qaestions, to which the prisoner wrote the answers under my eyes. Theee are the qneetions and answers: "Question. Were you smokin? when you came up to the comer of Hauraki Slreet? â€" Armoer. No. "QMSlion. Did you afterwards smoke? â€" Answer. I had no light. "Question. Did yoa try to get a li;ht? â€" Answer Yes, by climbing a lamp at the comer; but I was not steady enougn, and I remember I broke my hat against the cross- bar. "Question. Where did you carry your pipe and tooacco? â€" Ansaer. In my hat. " Those answers. " I concluded, "are ab- solutely correct m every particular. Ihe man wbom I saw onder the iMnp, at eight o'clock on the night of the murder, beliaved as the answers indicate. Tbat concludes the evidence I have felt bound to tender." And I handed the slip of paper to the vmha for inspection by the jury. "Prisoner," inquired the judge, "do yon call any other witness?" "I do not, my lord." "Then, gentlemen," said the jadge, toni- ing to the jaiy, "the one rematk that I shall mwce to yoa is this â€" that if yon believe the â- tory of the priaour's witness, there can be' little doubt bat tiiat the prisoner wis the man iriiom the wifeaeai caw at the comer ol Hanraki Straatat ej^t o'dc^ on the nif^t inqaeetion;aadif ttatWM 00^ it is elaar, m the oaee of the prowwiithm.

I think the prisoner's eld master would have cumbed into the dock, with the view of personally delivering his servant out of the house of bondage. Bat be was restrained by a sym- pathetic constab'e, while John Harden was re-conveyed for a short time to the jail, to nnder«;o certain necessary formalities con- nected with his release from custody. I volunteered to take charge of Mr. Slooum, and took him to the vestibule.of the prison, overwhelmed during the short walk by thanks and praiees. We were soon joined by Harden, whose meeting with his aiaste; brought a lump into the throat even of a tough criminal lawyer like myself. I taw them into a cab, and they drove off to Mr. Slccum's hotel, after promising to call on me the next da v, and enlighten me on certain points as to which I was still in the dark, As strange a part of my story as any, has yet to be told. I had hardly got back to my office and settled down to read over the various letters which were awaiting my signatnre, When my late client (Harden's piojecntor) wasannouncsd. I had lost sight of him in the excitement which followed the acquittal. He did not wait to learn wheth- er 1 was engaged cr not, but rushed aftsr the clerk into my room. He was ashen white or rather gray, and his knees shook to that he could scarcely stand; but his eyes positively blazed with wrath. Leaning over my table, he proceeded, in the presence of the astom'shed clerk, to pour upon me a flood of abuse and invective of the foulest kind. I was a swindling thief of a lawyer, whom he would have struck off the rolls, c.; until I really thought he had gone out of his mind. As soon as I could get in a word, I curtly explained tbat it was no part of a lawyer s duty to try to hang a man whom he knew to be innocent. As he only replied with abusive language, I ordered him out of the office. The office quieted itself once more â€" being far too busy, and also too well accus- tomed to eccentric people to have time for long wonderment at anything â€" and in an hoar I had finished my work, and was pre- paring to leave forborne, when another visi- tor wss announced â€" Inspector Forrester. "Well, Mr. Forrester, wbaVs the matter now? I'm just going off." "Sorry if I pnt you out of the way, sir; but I thought yoa'd like to hear what's hap- pened. The prosecutor in Harden's case has eiven himself up for the murder!" "What?' I shouted. "He just has, sir. It's a queer day, this is. When I. heard you gat up and j;ive evidence for the man you were pre seen ting, I thonght cariosities were over for ever; but seems they ain't, and never will be." "How was it?" "Well, he came into the station quite quiet, and se«med a bit cast down, but that was alL Said fate was against him, and had saved the man he thought to hang in bis stead, and he knew how it must end, and couldn't wait any longer. I cautioned him, of coarse â€" told him to sleep on it be- fore he said anything; but make a statement he would.. The short of it all is, that the idea of murdering the old lady for her money had come into hia mind in a flash when he saw that poor drunken fool exhibiting his knife in the tavern. He followed him, and picked his pocket of the knife, end then hung about the house, meaning to get in after dark. Then he saw the girl come out and go off, leaving the door closed bat not latched, the careless hussy I Then in slips the ^eatleman, and does what he'd made u|i his mind to-â€" for you see the old woman knew him we]l, so he couldn't afford to leave her aliveâ€" gets the cash and sb'pi out. All in gold it was, two hundred and fifty pounds. When he heard that Harden couldn't be found, he got aneasy in his mind, and has been getting worse eve since, though he did well enoagh in trade with the money. Sesms he considered he wasn't safe until some ore had hew hanged. So, when he recognised Harden, he was nataially down on him at once, and was intensely eager to get him convicted â€" which I noticed myself, sir, as of oourae you did. and thonght it queer too, I don't doubt. He took too much pains, yoa see â€" lie mast employ you to make certain, instead of leaving it to us;' whereas if he hada't come to you, your' evidence would never have been given, and I think you'll say nothing could have saved the prisoner.' It was trae enough. The wretched man had insured the failura of his own fiendish design by employing me, of aJl the solicitors to whom he might have gone! I learned next morning, how Harien, af- ter trying in vain to light his pipe on that m;m-.rable evening, bad wandered for hours through the hard-hearted streets, until at daybreak he had foand himself in the docks, looking at a large ship preparing to drop down the river with the tide. How be had manaced to slip aboard nnaesn and stow himself away in the hold, with some idcia of bettering his not ovar-bri^t fbrtones- in foreign parts. How he had aappoitel bis life in tbe held with ttray fragnunts of feis- eait^ which he hupened to have in his pook- ets, until, after a day or two of weary bH- ing aboat against baffling winds, whatt Huf were oat in ipld-obanael, the onuil aeai^ for ttomwfqra. had nneacthad 1dm.

This nugaifioeat strnotare, oooapyingan en- tire cqnare 675 feet in length, boilt aroond half a dozan interior patios, or open ooarts, was commenced by the Aztecs and finished by Cortez and hia Spanish vioe-ro^ aacoeas- ors. It is situated in the east side of tl» square, which is south of the ^eathediaL Tais square is the most beaatifal in the city, baing laid oat after the European fashion, ornamented with flowering shrabs and encalypius trees aod adorned with stataes by ti^e nnfortanate Carlotta. This is also the place where the famous Teocoli, or sacred place of the '^Aztecs, was situated, and where at least twenty thousand of human victims were annaally slaughtered. Passing in at the central entrance of this building, where dusky soldiers were walking their beats, manyothers "off duty" were lounging around giving it more the appearance of a monarch- lal palace than a repaolican capitol, we saw before as the central patio or court. It is about one hundred feet sqaare, surrounded by large, heavy stone pillars, thirty feet high, supporting on its round-headed arches a magnificent balcony. This also being faced with arches produces a very imposing aspect. Here we were introducad to the officer of the day, who.kiadly showed us the interesting parts of the pa}ace. An opportunity was here afforded as for seeing Maximilian's carriage of state, con- cerning the magnificence of which to much has been said. As the guard opened a heav- ily-locked door oar eyes fell upon a car- riage ofigreat splendor, at least ten feet high and{tweaty feet long, ornrmentad with rich gildings covering all the wood-work, figures of cherubs, arms of Mexico, surmounted by heavy silver-work and eight very large paa- nels of plate glass. These are thick enough to deflect a rifle ball not striking it psrpen- dicularly, and even then the only danger there would be from the pieces of broken glass. The inside was trimmed with rich white damask and silver bra-'d. This ele- gant carriage, drawn along the pasoe with its prancmg steeds, with uniform drivers, .liveried footmen, and the royal personage clad in rich robes of state, was designed to impress the lovers of parade and show. A magnificent flight of stone stairs, twelve feet wide, leads up from the patio to the main irooms in the second story. Going up this stairway we find the offioes of the republic. The pre.identand thu secrehar- ies of the army and nayy have offices htsi-e. Here also is the hall of thd senate and ab.Td on the roof the central meteorologicol ob- servatory with the best ttlescope in Mexico. We passed through Scveral ante-rooons in which were huge marble vases, exquisite! a VI orkmanship, with the arms of Mexico up- on them. This coat of-arms, which was also painted on the window shades, consists of an eagle with extended winga eitting on a cactus plant and coatending with a serpent. It is the old symbol of the Aztecs. We then came to the ambassador's haU, three hundred feet long and twenty-five wide. Tbis room is lighted by fifty candel- abra and six very large chandeliers covered with crystal psndants. It is ako arraoged tto as to be. capable of division ia- to smaller rooms by mtaos of crimson cur ains. Mexico has sought to impress its own history on its foreign ambassadors by pat- ting on the walls of this puitheon the por- traits of its repablioan heroes. First uomts Hidalgo, an insurgent priest, who was kill- ed while endeavcring to secure the liberty of Mexico. Bis portoait is accompanied by that of another pnest, Morales then Gaer- Jdro Iturbide, who attempted to bacome emperor Juaras, the famous Indian presi- dent Diaz, who is likely to become' (resi- dent again next Jane Mina Arista, who was prominent in the negotiations that bi ought the war with the United States to a class, and lastly, another priest, named Matamoras. One American has traen ad- mitted to this hallâ€" -namriy Washington. In this hall is a large paintLDir twenty-seven feet Ions, showing the battle of Paeblo^ on tbe CincB de Mayo, when the Mexicans, ea- feated the French. It is to be remembered that in this battle, when the cational exis- tence was at fitike, the Mexicans, especially the Indians, fought with more oouiage than everjbefore. At one aide of the paiotiog is a*.bast of Gen, Largo oza, the leader of the Mexicans in this battle. Tnus this imposing room is designed to preserve tbe important facts and facte rs of the history of the repablic, to immortalize, Its Mexican heroes, to stimulate patriotism andinanrethe devotion of all ibseivers to the future welfare of the state.
