Adams said, also, on an other occasion, that Lawrie and gone to him and offered him £3OO, and then £4OO. Witness advised him to be careful of Lawrie, and if he had any conversation with him to have a witness. He knew Lawrie well, for.he had been three years in the police force, He left of his own accord. He did not wish to say anything against Lawrie. He had a poor opinion of him, and objected to him entering the detective force. He did not look upon him as always truthful. The Foreman : Did you ever know Lawrie to swear falsely Witness : I would nob like to say that. I have heard prisoners stand up and accuse him of it. My opinion was that he would pull a case through if he could. Mr Ollivier then addressed the Court for the defence, contending that there had been no proof of suppression of evidence, the fact that Dr. Collins had examined the child having been frequently mentioned ; before the trial of LDnghurst. He would also be able to prove that the evidence of the girl Morrison was quite unreliable. If the evidence of Mrs Allen were true, her conduct revealed a depth of depravity greater than anything that had been brought to light during the hearing of the case. He also commented on the fact that Dr. Collins had stated that he believed it physically impossible for the prisoner Long hurst to have committed the offence with which he was charged, and then heard of his conviction and sentence without coming for ward or raising any protest. He would now call witnesses for the defence. William Mowbray, schoolmaster, of Thorn don, said : In 1880 he had the Sydney-street School. The child Annie Morrison was formerly at his Echool. She was entered in 1877, but had been there before. She was a,pupil early iu 1880. He did not recollect the female prisoner by sight, but her name appeared on the school register in 1879. She left in Feb ruary, 1880. He had not been able to find the name of Bradnock on the school register. He had inquired of both teachers and pupils, but no one recollected the name of Bradnock. The nearest names were Ida Bradford and Lizzie Bradshaw. To Mr Shaw : The names in the book were generally entered by himself.
