==<center>Some Mysterious Letters</center>==
Mr. Newton asked what it was intended to show, and he doubted whether the evidence was relevant.

Mr. Carson said he would prefer to have the letters put in, and they would show that the defendant was acting in the interests of his son.

Mr. Humphreys suggested that the letters should not be read publicly, particularly as in one of them the names of exalted persons were mentioned, and it would be unfair to mention those names in public.

It was finally agreed that the letters should not be put in.

Continuing, the witness said he called at the Albemarle Club about 5 p.m. on February 28th. That was the first place he visited after his returne from Algiers. The hall-porter handed him an envelope, in which was a card. The porter said, "Lord Queensberry desired me, Sir, to hand this to you." The card was the one produced marked "A". At the back of the card were the time and date - "4:30, 18, 2, '95"  After reading the words written upon the card, he communicated with his solicitor, and had an interview with him on March 1st. On the same day he applied at the Court for a warrant for Queensberry's apprehension.
