have taken this subject a little out of its place in
adverting to it here. To return--

Mr. Lavie says, "I received the parcel, (_that produced by Odell_), in
the Stock Exchange room, in which Mr. Baily and Mr. Wade were present."

Mr. Wade says, "I am Secretary to the Stock Exchange, in company with
other gentlemen, I received from Odell a bundle, said to be found in the
river, which was given to Mr. Lavie; the star was then in two pieces,
and was afterwards sewn together, for the purpose of being exhibited."

Then Solomons, who originally sold the dress, is called; he says, "I am
