Who was the Magistrate?—I must refer to the book—(_Witness produced a book_.) That is your minute book in which you enter the proceedings of the day?—Yes. Who was the sitting Magistrate on that day?—Mr. Serjeant Sellon appears to have been the Magistrate on the 19th of November, as it appears by the book. This being a charge of misdemeanor, do you find by your book that any account was committed to writing of what the witnesses said?—No; it was not. It is merely a note, or entry of the names, as follows: “Warrant for a misdemeanor, parties appeared by the Officer, and ordered to find bail.” _Cross-examined by_ Mr. MARRYATT. Was that the Magistrate by whom the warrant was granted?—Yes. Was the oath administered before the warrant was granted?—Yes; there had been an _ex-parte_ examination to grant the warrant on the oath of the party. That is in another book?—It is; that is left behind; I do not know any thing of it. But there is a deposition on oath prior to the granting of the warrant?—Yes. _Re-examined by the_ COMMON SERJEANT. The depositions in cases of misdemeanour you don’t take in detail?—No. Were the depositions taken in writing in any book which you have not here?—I am not aware of that. Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—You were not told to bring it?—No. Was that the only information upon which the warrant was granted?—There was nothing taken down in writing when all the parties were before the Magistrate. Were the depositions taken down before the warrant was granted?—Yes. Then, after the warrant was executed, and at the time of the examination when the Defendant was there, you took no minutes?—No farther than the names of the parties; and what I have here. Mr. WOOD _sworn_. _Examined by_ Mr. Gurney. Were you present at the examination of Mr. Church before the Magistrate?—I was. What are you?—A hatter, near the Elephant and Castle, in St. George’s Fields. Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—Did you take the testimony of the witnesses down in writing?—No. Mr. GURNEY.—Did Foreman, the boy, in the account he gave before the Magistrate, say for what purpose he searched the house?—He said that he went out to the Potter and told the Potter that there were thieves in the house, and that the Potter and he came to search the house. He was asked a question by Mr. Sellon, whether or no he searched the room where Mr. Church slept. He said, No, he did not search that room. Mr. Sellon said, “Why not search that room?” What answer did he give to that?—The answer he gave was that the Potter wished to break the door open. Mr. Sellon said, “Did you try the door to see whether it was open, before the Potter talked of breaking it open?” He said, No: he did not wish to disturb his mistress. Whilst the Potter was examined, did he say what was the alarm that Foreman gave to him; did he say what was the alarm?—I cannot charge my memory as to that.
