case on Wednesday, having spoken at least as much as the first two volumes of Lord Macaulay's history,—much more than any half-dozen printed speeches on record. Mrs. Radcliffe was examined on Thursday and Friday, and Mr. Serjeant Bal- hintine cross-examined her yesterday without even making much attempt to discredit her evidence.
