Thomas Evans was called on his subpœna, and did not appear.
Lord Ellenborough. This entry then will be of no use to you.
Mr. Gurney. No, my Lord; it was mentioned that there were two Napoleons in the letter case: Mr. Wood has those two Napoleons to produce.

Mr. Gurney. This, my Lord, is the evidence on the part of the prosecution.
Mr. Serjeant Best. I wish to apprize your Lordship that I think it will be necessary for the defendants to call witnesses.
Lord Ellenborough. I should wish to hear your opening, and to get into the defendants case, if I can; there are several gentlemen attending as witnesses, who, I find cannot, without the greatest public inconvenience, attend to-morrow.
Mr. Park.. The difficulty we feel, I am sure your Lordship will feel as strongly as we do the fatigue, owing to the length of our attendance here; but we will proceed if your Lordship desires it.
