An Interesting Expbriment.—At One Of ..T...
( Concludedfrm our jijt / t jrapeL dce . h . on of eminent judges in similar cases , and he c- > s : ti-: ciitly left that part of the case with the jury , as lr .-niL'cted his clients . The learned counsel then prodded to coinjncist upon the evidctlCP , UUd COD . * tern *? ' ! that the conduct of his clients throughout the whole struggle bad shown that they were not wilful or malignant violators of tbe law—tbat they had acted w-tuin tbe scope of that statute which was the Magna Charter of working men . That in persuading five men to unite , not for an advance but an assimilation of wages , and an uniform book of prices ; they were perfectly justified by the law , and that his lordship himself had elicited tho important fact that no man had been molested by them . The evidence also Droved tbat long previous mat
to April 1850 , when they first appeared in tne - ter , an agitation had prevailed in the tin-plate ti am for that purpose-that they did notmterferc : uncal led for ; but , on the contrary , were expressly invited av the members of the tin-plate society conlea jv ™ in eraeereu Th eir conduct throughout nected with their boay . in < - " ^ " ,,- > , from the first letter sent to Mr . Feajuad the ° ther Manufacturers had been characterised by no offensive spirit of dictation ; on the contrary it had 1 „ t-. ; most moderate and conciliatory ; hut how had thev been met by the prosecutors ? George Perry said he was sincere in his desire to get an uniform 6 o ; -k of prices , if it was possible . Edward Perry 0 : 1 the contrary , said he was not sincere , he was proud of having deceived them , and chuckled over known insinceritv . Edward Perry told them
that lie deliberately- went about this business , not only on tbe principle to deceive Peel , Green , and T / inters , not only to'deceive his own men , but the other masters of the town . All that he did was a sham . This man was talked of as a wealthy and resectable manufacturer ; but he ( Mr . Parry ) would rather stand that day in the position of any ot . s oi tbe defendants , ttian such a man . Had there been the slightest spirit of truthfulness or conciliation on the part of Edward Perry , they would not have been there that day . But he could tofily believe that Mr , Perry was hardly so bad as he would represent himself , that it was rather the after thought of samecunning fellow , who had complimented himself how cleverly he hadjlone these
working men , and that he was not so mean , crafty , and cunning-, as he said he was . Had the jury marked how proud he was of his single metaphor about the pinnacles of the church being tho foundation , and its base in the air and other nonsense of tbat sort ? But taking him on his own showing and granting , that he was not deceiving the jury , as he boasted , he had deceived the defendants , the other masters , and even his own brother and father , 'it would only prove him to be a vulgar , low , cunning-minded man , who consented to do mischief , and after having done it , thanked God he had succeeded . He said that man ba'd so conducted himself there , that he asked the jury to reject his eviiieiice ; there was no doubt of his dealing with
facts on the basis of that evidence ; but he had interlarded it with a great deal which was not evidence . The learned counsel , after commenting Tery strongly on the conduct of Mr . E . Perry at the meeting of the masters , aud his proposal to Mr . "Wahon io discharge Duffield to gratify his malignant feelings , said that he would put Mr . "Walton into the box to prove that aud other facts denied by Mr . Perry , and he would also call the late mayor , to prove the manner in wbicb the defendants had act , id , and tbat Jfr . Perry , after applying for the arbitration of the mayor and magistrates , had declined to be hound by their opinion . After commenting on other parts of the evidence , and referring to the conduct of Mr . Perry with reference to
the bringing over of Trench workmen and causing them to enter into agreements which subjected theiu to liabilities and penalties of which as forreigners they could not be expected to know anything ; and contending that the use of tin * words ** force , and coercive measures " in the appeal for an extra levy , issued by the Central Commitee , did not mean physical force , hut employ the force of public opinion , as migot be appealed to by Mr . G . F . Young or Mr . Cobden . The learned counsel said , that the jrliole conduct of the defendants was opposed to the idea of force . That they had—and
they rested their defence upon that ground—done everything openly , within the provision of the law ; they believed they were justified by the law ; and if , upon the legal question being tried in another place ; should the decision of the jury be against them that day , that they were found to have acted illegally , he pledged himself that they would never act in that manner again . lie would leave the case with the jury , in the belief that they would deal with it fairly and liberally . It was an important one both to masters and men ; he hoped—and he Delieved—that they would hold the scales of justice with an . even hand .
Mr . Kbatixg followed , in behalf of the defendants Duffield , VJoodnorth , and Gaunt , travelling over the the same ground as when he addresssed the jury on their behalf in the previous case , lie contended that there was no evedence worthy of credit to support the counts charging them with having used Violence , threats , or intimidation . Witnesses were called for the defence , as follows- — -.
Mr . P . Walton examined by Mr . Mac . namaiu . — "Was a i . in-plate manufacturer at Wolverhampton , and al-iu a . town councillor . He employed between 200 aud 300 men . Was at a meeting at the Swan Inn , Wolverhampton , called by Mr . E . Perry , in April of last year . Mr . E . Perry filled the chair . Mr .. Pc-rry said there were many obnoxious men in the trade , who ought to be discharged by the masters . He proposed to witness tbat the latter should discharge a workman named G . Duffield . Mr . Shooibbed , examined by Mr . Parbx . —Was a t in plate manufacturer at Wolverhampton ;
employed about 300 men . Attended the meeting at the Sivan referred to by the last witness , when Mr . E Perry proposed a list of obnoxious men ; to be discharged by the different masters , and driven out of town , and never re-employed . The first man BO mentioned was George Duffield . In many points the book of prices , proposed by the men was lower than the prices previously paid by witness . —Crossexamined by Mr . Sergeant Aixbn : The only man mentioned by Mr . E . Perry to be discharged was Duffield ; but Mr . Perry proposed to form a general list .
Samuel Bum ? , examined by Mr . Mac . namara . — Called , in company with Green and Peel , upon Mr . J 3 . Perry , as a deputation , in April , 1850 , to talk about the assimilation of prices . They were courteously received by Mr . Perry . Thought Mr . Peel told Mr . Perry they were opposed to strikes . A book of prices had been talked of fci the trade for two years and a half . Believed that Mr . Perry complimented Peel and Green on the manner in " which they conducted their business . John Swischeti corroborated the evidence of tbe previous witness , as to what passed at tbe interview of the deputation , of which he was one , ¦ with Mr . Perry . Mr . Perry said that he had long known v ? hat " was going on , aid anticipated a strike ; and tbat he had got some tin kettles to ring them out . Mr . Perry shook hands with Peel , saying it ¦ was customary to do so before fighting . Tbe same
articles lor which Mr . Perry ; paid 2 i 3 . Mr . Shoolbred paid 31 s . for . J . Emor examined . —Was president of the Wolverhampton Tin-plate Workers Association , and a member of the United Trades'Association . Messrs . Feel , Green , and Winters were invited to come down to Wolverhampton bythe Tin-plate Workers ' Society . They recommended all hired men to fulfil then ? -. contracts to the letter . Had never known them to use threats or intimidation , or to recommend others to do so . Peel first came down in April , when he stayed a fortnight . He came again in August or September . Believed Peel was not at Wolverhampton iu July . Peel lodged at the Seven Stars , iu John-street , and not at the Star , as had been stated for the prosecution . It was ' always their object to avoid interference with the hired men ; and a placard to that effect was posted up in 'various factories . , . - - .
Jons Hhb , examined . —Remembered the strike of Mr . Perry ' s hired men in November last . Called the attention of Winter and Green to the fact , who advised the men to return and fulfiltheir engagementsj- la consequence of this they did so . Evidence to the same effect having been given by Other witnesses , Mr . 6 . Bobinson was examined by Mr . Pabrt . Was an attorney . " Was mayor of Wolverhampton in 1850 . In October last Mr . E . Perry claimed bis
protection by letter , witness suggested the mediation of . the-magistrates . A meeting was consequently held , at which several magistrates attended . Mr . E . Perry was there , and also witness , Green , and others . - Green spoke on behalf of the workmen . Uo satisfactory arrangement was arrived at . The magistrates- gave an opinion , which was not accepted b y Mr . Perry . A few days after , Winter or Green requested witness to interfere to prevent Mr . Peril ' s -hired men from breaking their contract . =-

"O back to France from a society to which Green belonged . Green went with them by railway to London . ¦ ; 1 By Mr . Piymr . —The money was to he repaid within one or two years . They -rtn » t theimc when tho money was offered about to . apply for assistance to their ambassador . Mr Perry sU held their passports and " character books , : without which they could get no work in France . Claud * Laurent Pabceuf , also a . Frenchman , corroborated the above . Ho had signed a contract which Mr . Perry told him was merely . aform of the country to insure him six moths' work . It was not till afterwards that he was told he would be liable to imprisonment if he broke the contract . Was told tbat he must give six months' notice before he could leave . He left Mr . Perry ' s service of his own free win .
Several other Frenchmen gave similar evidence , which closed the case for the defence . Sergeant Alien then addressed the jury in reply . He asserted that a conspiracy had commenced with the letter sent from London on the 2 nd of April , to which Peel and the other defendants were parties .. He eulogized the conduct of Mr . E . Perry , and called for a verdict upon all the counts of the indictment . The learned Judge , in summing up , divided the counts of the indictment into four classes : about three of wbicb , viz . .- —conspiring to leave Mr . Perry's" service by threats and intimidation ; - conspiring to intimidate Mr . Perry , and conspiring to induce men by drunkenness to leave Mri Perry ' s
service ;—there could be no doubt in point of law . But there was a fourth class upon which a doubt existed—although not' in his mind—viz : —conspiring to persuade others to leave Mr . Perry's service . On this class of counts , he would take the opinion of the jury , if any oj the defendants should be acquitted upon the other classes . The learned judge then called the attention of the jury to the evidence of the various witnesses ; summing up favourablyfor Winters and Rowlands , against whom the only fact proved , was paying money to men after they had struck work ; those two defendants , therefore , could come only under the fourth class of counts * , and he had said before against Thomas Pitt no satisfactory evidence had been offered .
After a few minutes deliberation , the jury returned a verdict of Guilty on all the counts , although the judge had directed to the contrary with respect to Winters and Howlands . Tho learned Judge said nothing more- could be done there , ' and the matter now ' stands till- ' next term . . The two indictments occupied the Court during the whole of three days .

. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT . ( "Concluded from our seventh page ) . THURSDAY , July 31 . HOUSE OF LOKDS . —The Stock in Trade bill was read a third time and passed . The Charitable Trusts Bill was also read a third time and passed , after some complaints from the Earl ofMALMESBTiRT as to the late period of the session at which the measure had been introduced .
The Court of Chancery and Judicial Committee Bill was read a second time on the motion oUhe Lord Chancellor . A discussion then took place as to the continuance of metropolitan interments , " in which the Board of Health was defended by the Earl of Shaftesbury and the Earl ' of
Carlisle . . A return of the reports of inspectors of collieries during tho last year was ordered to be laid before the house on tbe motion of Lord WHAIVNCUFFTI * HOUSE OJF COMMONS . —Afc the morning sitting , in reply to Mr . Osbobne , ' who intimated that there had been some misunderstanding upon this point ; The Chancellor of the Exchequer repeated , in fuller and more explicit terms than he had used on Tuesday , his Statement respecting the Crystal Palace . Whether the Commissioners were at liberty , under the terms of the memorandum , to apply any
portion of the surplus in their hands to the purposes of a winter-garden he thought very doubtful . ; , whether , if they had the power , they had the inclination , he could hot say . If they were unable or unwilling , the public could only purchase the building for a sum which might probably amount to £ 70 , 000 . Then to put it in a fit state for permanent preservation would cost a considerable sum , and there must be an annual outlay for keeping it in repair . So much for the building . In addition to this expenditure , there must he a certain outlay for the winter garden itself , and then there was the cost of maintaining it . These five charges must fall upon the public .
The Metropolitan Sewers Bill was read a third time and passed , after a protest from Sir B . Hall and Mr . Wakley . The Metropolitan Interment . Bill went through committee , not without a division upon its merits . . The House then went into committee upon the remaining clauses of the Petty Sessions ( Ireland ) Bill , and , after a protracted discussion upon the tenth clause , the Chairman reported progress , to sit again in the evening , the CHANCELLOBoftheExCHEQUER consenting to abandon that portion of the clause which gave new powers to a single magistrate .
At tbe evening sitting , on the order for the second reading of the Episcopal and Capitular Estates Management ( No . 2 ) Bill , Colonel Sibthorp objected to the further progress of the bill this session and moved that the third reading be deferred for three months . Sir B . Hall called for some explanation respecting this bill , and thought ; that the house should have time to consider the manner in which the interests of leases were proposed to be dealt with . The Chancellor of the Exchequer said , a bill which had been introduced in the other
house by Lord Carlisle had been referred to a Select Committee in the House of Lords , who had come to the conclusion that it was not desirable to proceed with that bill , and had recommended this measure , which was permissive only , providing for the possibility of getting rid 6 f the objectionable system of renewals of finable leases subject to the check of the Ecclesiastical Estate Commissioners . - A prolonged discussioawaaulosed by a division , when there appeared—For tbe second reading 45 Against it ... 34—11 Some further discussion ensued , after which the bill was ordered for committal on Friday . ; ,
Several other bills were forwarded a stage , and the house adjourned at half-past twelve .
FRIDAY , August 1 . HOUSE OF LOBDS . —Several bills were pushed ^ through a stage of progress without discussion . The royal assent was given by commission to a large batch of public and private Bills . Ambng the number the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill then became the law of the land . . Their lordships rose at eight o ' clock . HOUSE OF COMMONS .-The New Zealand Settlement Bill was read a third time and passed . The Metropolitan Interments Bill was reported from committee , and ordered to stand forthe third reading on Saturday . The County Courts Further Extension Bill went through committeei
On the motion for the committee of the Episcopal and Capitular Estates Management ( No . 2 ) Bill , a prolonged discussion ensued . Sir B . Hall deprecated proceeding in so summary a fashion with a bill that largely compromised private interests . Warmly approving the principle of the bill ; he wished to have it delayed for the present , since a bad or imperfect measure passed now would exasperate the public , and render future legislation impossible .
A long debate , in which many honourable members shared respecting the propriety of throwing the bill over forthe present session , was interrupted by two divisions on . successive motions aimed at that result . Both were negatived , and the house resolved itself into committee . Some further opposition being made , Lord J . Russell suggested that the bill should be committed pro forma , and be pre

Deeded with on Monday next . This being adopted , the chairman reported progress , with with leave to sit again . The General Board of Health ( NO . 4 ) BiU went through committee . Sir J . Pakington moved a resolution declaring that in the opinion of the house the importers of sugar ought to be allowed to refine that article in bond , and afterwards enter it for home consumption , upon paying the same duties that are now levied on refined sugars
imported into this country . The hon . baronet explained the effect of the practice now existing , which he declared operated much to the injury of the British importers and the growers in the colonies . He . challenged the ministry to show that the revenue could possibly suffer to any serious extent , contending at the same time , that he had established a claim to justice which ought to he conceded , even at the hazard of some loss to the Exchequer .
Mr . Labouchkre remarked upon the extensive alterations—amounting in the total to nearly , four millions a year—that had very recently been effected in the sugar duties . Mr . MITCHELL briefly supported the resolution . The house was counted out at nine o ' clock .
Limehick Election.—According To Saunders...
Limehick Election . —According to Saunders ' News Letter , Mr . Francis William Russell has reaigned , and . Laid Arundel , it is expected , will be declared to be duly elected , this day ( Saturday ) , for Limerick . Another Murder in Norfolk , —The . village of Oatwell , near Downham Market , has . been the scene of a most deliberate and heartless murder . Hannah Neale , wife of John Jfeale , had formed an improper attachment to a man named Cato , who induced her to live with him . Ultimately , her husband succeeded in inducing her to return , and it appears that , in a short time , her affection for the man Cato returned . The husband wus seized with purging , vomiting , < Sso „ and the prisoner ' s sister deposed ibat she had seen the prisoner ghe to her husband a liquid of a whitish colour a few days before his death . The depositions of other -witnesses . iaving
been taken , Hannah Neale was committed on the coroner ' s warrant for the wilful murder of her husband , to take her trial at the next Norwich assizes . Great Fire in CLBRKHNWEMi .-rLast night ( Friday ) a fire of a rapidly destructive and alarming character broke out in the manufacturing premises Of Mr . White , the extensive wood and brass ; turner and mahogany timber merchant , Yardley-street , Clerkenwell . Plenty of water having been obtained , the engines were set to work ; by half-past twelve o'clock this morning , no further extension of mischief was apprehended , The premises in which , the misfortune commenced , however , were fay that period nearly gutted , ; and considerable' damage ddne to those adjoining . The origin of the flro is unknown , and , unfortunately , the sufferer was only partially insured .
Assize Intelligence. Maidstone. . ' . Se...
ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE . MAIDSTONE . . ' . Seduction — Watson v . Sellers . —This was an action to recover damages from the defendant for having seduced and debauched -the wife of the plaintiff . Several witnesses proved the charge , and the jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff . —Damages
£ 50 . . , Charge op Mohdkb . —Susan Royal , 25 , a goodlooking young woman , was indicted for the wilful murder of her child by suffoeating . it . The jury found the prisoner Guilty of concealing the-birth of the child , and she was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six calendar months . PerjuBT . —Fanny Jones surrendered to take her trial for wilful and corrupt perjury . Tlie present charge arose out of a proceeding which has created a great deal of interest in the city of Canterbury , namely , an accusation against a respectable inhabitant of that city , named Saker . of having committed
a felonious assault upon a little girl natneu mil , on the 7 th of July , 1850 . The defendant was tried at the summer assizes last year , and acquitted upon the charge , the learned judge who tried the' case remarking , at the close of the trial , that he would leave tbe court without the slightest stain upon his character . The present defendant was examined as a witness on his behalf , and tho indictment for perjury arose out of matters which it was alleged she had falsely deposed to upon the trial . At the close of the case for the prosecution tho jury expressed an opinion that the charge- of wilful perjury was not at all made out by the evidence ; and thev accordingly returned a verdict of Not Guilty .
NORFOLK . . . Forgery at Lowestoft . —William Pearson Davidson , a mariner at Yarmouth , was charged with having feloniously forged a warrant or order for tho payment of £ 5 , purporting to be ah order upon Messrs . Wm . aud Chas . Temple ] shipowners , Blakeney , with intent to defraud Messrs . Matthew and LTenry Butcher , of Yarmouth . —^ Mr . Dasent briefly addressed tho iuvy for the dfifeuoe , but admitted he could not alter the facts . —The jury found the prisoner Guilty ; and the chief barou in addressing tho prisoner said the offence of which bo had been found guilty was a short time ' ago a capital offence . He would take time to consider what sentence he should pronounce .
Arson at Risbv . —John Hammond , 25 , described as labourer in tbe calendar , a half-witted looking young man in appearance and demeanour , was charged witb having set fire to a stack of straw at Risby , the property of John Denton Payne . — The prisoner was found Guilty , and sentenced to be transported for fifteen years .
Facts And Incidents Of The Great Exaibit...
FACTS AND INCIDENTS OF THE GREAT EXaiBITION . ' On Saturday £ 1 , 478 was taken at the doors , the number of visitors being 10 , 899 . , . The Exhibition . —The last arrival was on Saturday , when , in addition to its numerous attractions , were added three elephants' tusks , from Southern Africa . Their dimensions are eight feet six inches long , and twenty-two inches in circumference , and weighing 1 G 4 pounds each . They are the property of an English gentleman who resided in that quarter for the last twenty-five years , and only arrived in town a few days ago , per Bosphorous , steamer , ex-Cape of Good Hope .
The tusks were brought from the immediate vicinity of the great lake lately discovered in Southern Africa , and will for some time be a matter of great speculation amongst naturalists and scientific men , as to the age and size of the animals to whom these monster tusks could belong , On Monday £ 3 , 19413 s . was taken at the doors , and 67 , 170 persons entered the building . Of these a large party came from the town and neighbourhood of Reading , They came by the South Western Railway , and marched in procession from the Waterloo Station , to Hyde-park , headed by a band of music and rendered conspicuous by a profusion of banners .
The eclipse of the sun seems to bave inspired the Executive Committee with formidable apprehensions of the diminutba of light which was likely to take place in consequence . From an impression that the 67 , 000 visitors who flocked there would have to grope their way through a darkness hardly visible , they had all the gas lamps in the interior put in requisition . Some amusement was caused by this excessive amount of precaution for a great transparency like Mr . Paxton's Palace of glass . On Tuesday , 68 , 496 persons visited the building , and £ 3 , 281 10 s . was the amount of money taken at the doors . By the sale of season tickets £ 6 Gs . was realised .
On Wednesday the receipts at tbe doors of the building amounted to £ 2 , 835 6 s ., and the number of visitors , according to the police returns , was 58 , 382 . The Times has the following : — " We understand that the price of season tickets is reduced from £ 3 and £ 2 , to 30 s . and £ 1 , and that the Commission bave come to a resolution by which the Bale of those tickets ceases on the 31 st of August . As we recommended a few days ago , the five shilling entrance fee on Saturdays is to be reduced immediately after the prorogation of Parliament to two shillings and sixoence , but tbe immense crowds tbat still flock to the Exhibition on the shilling days renders it in the meantime impracticable , in the view of the Commission , to adopt measures for admitting a larger proportion of the humbler classes than now find their way into the Crystal Palace . "
On Thursday the number of pwaofts fita eutered the building was 57 , 849 , and tbe receipts at the doors amounted to £ 2 , 800 16 s . A serious question has arisen as to the period at which the Exhibition should close . On the one hand , exhibitors from Russia and the Northern States of Germany are anxious to bave the power of removing their goods after the end of September aa if the Crystal Palace remains open till thu middle or end of October , the winter frosts will have set in before they can possibly hare them conveyed back to their respective countries ; on t he other hand , the French aro desirous to have the ftnal closing delayed as long as is practicable .

Fatal Occurrence Near Buckingham Pai/Ace...
was knocked down by a mail cart , and , " . 'from the injuries he received , died on the 28 th ult . John Giles , of Pimlico , carpenter , stated that on the 18 th ult , he wag walking from St . James ' s Gate to Buckingham Palace , when about half way between the two palaces , " he saw deceased about two yards from the path . The road here is about twenty feet wide . A mail cant was behind deceased , and going in the same direction , namely , from Buckingham Palace , and towards St . James ' s . At this time the driver of the cart was going ahout five miles an hour . "When he got within
about nine yards of the deceased he shouted loudly , as did witness , to him . _ Several persons , however , were between witness and the cart , hut he perceived the driver try to avert the impending accident . Witness then saw deceased on the ground , and directly ran to him .. Deceased : was lying on his leftside , with a severe cut on the left temple . Witness raised him up , and found him quite insensible . —William Martin , of the Scotch Fusileera , stated that he saw the deceased just before
the accident , standing with others , and waiting to witness the Queen leave Buckingham Palace . I should think that the driver was going ahout five miles an hour . Heard him halloo to deceased , and saw the wheel pass over , the left side of his head . —Police-constable Grey said , at the time of the accident , the driver was going about ten miles an hour , and in such a manner , as to render the neighbourhood dangerous to passers by . Thought he heard deceased scream when he was knocked down . He did not hear the driver
halloo . He ( the driver ) was on the wrong side of the road , and pulled to his right when he saw the deceased . Witness , however , viewed the occurrence at a distance of one hundred yards , He saw deceased knocked down , aud conveyed him to the hospital . —Mr . C . Murray , house surgeon ,-said he received the deceased , who . had on the left side of the face several severe bruises , and a fracture of the base of tho skull . He continued nearly insensible from the time of his admission to his
death , which occurred at two . o ' clock on the morning of the 28 th ult . —Mr . F . Kelly , brother of the deceased , stated that the unfortunate man was rather deaf , hut not particularly so . His landlad y had told him he was subject to fits . —The coroner said it appeared from the surgeon ' s evidence that the skull fracture was the cause of death . He thought this being settled they should consider that Grey was at a distance which prevented him from judging so accurately of the driver ' s rate as the two other . witnesses . The jury returned a verdict of ' Accidental death . '

WESTMINSTER . —Sir J .

been murdered at Kewport about two months since , he instituted inquiries , and from information he had received , he went : about one o ' clock in ' the afternoon , on Sunday , to a house in Parson ' s-court , Rosemary-lane , where he took the prisoner into custody , telling him the charge . He admitted that his name was Wolfe , and that he had been present at the case alluded to , but said he had taken no part in the transaction , as the blow was struck by a man named Murphy . Tho sergeant then told him that tho superintendent- of tbe Monmouth police ; had been over to Ireland to look for him , on which he replied that he was aware of that fact . Kelly then called Ellen Lee , who said she had known the deceased man . Dowd , who lived close by her at Newport about two months since . She saw him alive
in thestreetgoing . to work the day before his death , but . was not presentwhen he waskilled . —Prisoner She knows nothing about it . I will tell you all if you like to listen . —In answer to Mr . Yardley , the witness said she had not seen the prisoner after the murder until Sunday last nor ¦ had she inquired after him . —Prisoner : Let me speak , and I will tell all about it . —Mr . Yardley : I must caution you that there is no evidence as yet against you . To Sergeant Kelly j : You had better take the man back and consult . with roiir superintendent as to the course you had better pursue , for as the case stands I have no evidence before me under Sir John Jervis's Act , either to remand him or send him to Monmouthshire . —The prisoner was then taken away in custody ,-and it was subsequently
understood that he was to be sent down to Monmouthshire , under charge of Sergeant Kelly . SOUTH WARK . —Extbhsive Robb ' ert . —Sarah Frances Winter , a middle aged respectable looking woman , was brought before Mr . Seeker , at the close of the court , charged with having in her possession a box containing 200 sovereigns , a valuable gold watch and chain , two gold rings , fifteen silk handkerchiefs , and a large quantity of black spun silk , supposed to , have been stolen from one of the railway companies near . the metropolis . —Rebecca Sergeant said she was the wife of one of the officials connected with the Eastern Counties Railway at Stratford . Her husband kept a house at West Ham ; and the prisoner ' s brother , who was employed on the railway , lodged with fchem . A few days ago the
prisoner came to lodge with her , and on Sunday morning , while her brother was absent on duty , the prisoner showed her a handsome gold watch and chain , and entered her brother ' s room . When she came out she told witness-that she was compelled to leave suddenly , as something had happened which made her uneasy ; ° that she had left the watch and other property for ' her brother , and that as soon as he came home she hoped witness would send him after her . She left the house a little after eleven o ' clock in the morning , but her brother did not return home till eleven at night . As soon as he entered , the house she informed'him that his sister had suddenly quitted the house , but she had left a gold watch aud other property for bim . The brother seemed astounded , and exclaimed * * ills sister could have no gold watch to give him , and whatever property she has left for me you must come and look at it with me , as I will have nothing to do with her or her property . " Shortly
afterwards they entered his room ,. and found tbe gold watch , two hundred sovereigns , and other property , when a police constable was called in to take charge of them . —Prisoner : I did not intend to give the watch to my brother . I said my brother was to keep it in use until my husband came home . I dare not give it away . —Sergeant John William Manning , of the Stratford police , informed-the magistrate that he had been to the South-Western Railway Company ; and had ascertained that the prisoner ' s husband was discharged on account of an immense quantity of silk having been lost on the line , ' and suspicion was attached to him .. Ho hrid every reason to believe that in a few days some further clue would be obtained which would show that the property found was the produce of the plunder , and that he should be authorised to apprehend the husband . —Mr . Seeker said , that , according to the sergeant's evidence , the case was one for investigation at the Lambeth Police « courfc , therefore , he should remand the prisoner to gaol .
