Call Mr. Pritchard. _Mr. Pritchard_ had known Goodere many years; he always bore the character of a good husband, a good neighbour, and a kind friend. _The Rev. Mr. Watkins_, three months or half a year before Sir John's death, had told Goodere that Sir John had told him that he had made his will and cut his brother off from everything, and had given his estate to the Footes. The witness had found Sir John a good neighbour, and a kind friend; he was a man of strong passions, and if any one affronted him, he would let the party know that he did resent it. His tenants, and those the witness had conversed with, said that he was one of the best of landlords. VERNON--I don't ask you, Sir, concerning his moral character; but whether he was in his senses or not? WATKINS--In his senses! I saw him last Christmas, he was making up his accounts with several of his tenants; he was then in very good understanding. I take him to have been a man that always had his senses in a regular exercise. VERNON--What have you heard the prisoner Mr. Goodere say in relation to Sir John's making his will? WATKINS--I believe he told me that sir John had not the power to make a will; I told him it was my opinion, if they would be reconciled together, sir John's will would not stand. _Mr. Thomas_ and _Mr. Ashfield_ and the _Rev. Mr. Rogers_ spoke in general terms to Goodere's good character. _George Forcevil_ had known him for fourteen or fifteen years; he had a very good character in the neighbourhood; he constantly attended his church twice a day Sundays, and would be there at prayers almost every day. He thought him to be a good man. _Goodere_ said he would not trouble the Court with any more evidence as to his character; he was deprived of some evidence by reason of his sickness in gaol, which prevented his friends from coming to advise him about his defence; also there were witnesses on board the ship who might have been of great service to him, but the ship had sailed before he got an order from the Admiralty ordering them to stay on shore. _Frederick_ drew the Recorder's attention to the fact that there had been several aspersions in the newspapers to the prejudice of Goodere, and that a pamphlet had been published in Bristol called _The Bristol Fratricide_; but he hoped that the jury would not be influenced by such matters against the prisoner. The jury declared that they had never seen any such pamphlet or newspapers. VERNON--Mr. Recorder, we must beg leave to ask Mr. Jarrit Smith's opinion, as to Sir John's being a lunatic or not?
