HIGH WATER AT LONDOE-BRIDOL Tzes DAT —26 a. To-mortow Morning, lb. not....Attankooq lh. atm LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29. BROTHER IGNATIUS must be a very clever man. Wherever he goes he gets people into trouble, but always seems to come out well himself. At Clay don he embroiled his rector, the Rev. Mr. Davit; with the Bishop, and was also the cause of that gentleman's appearance before the magistrates. But his doings there only prepared the way for him at Norwich,where he opened his Monastery with great &hit, and soon found contributions rolling in upon him from all sides. There, however, he got poor Mr. HILLTARb, the chaplain to the onion, into trouble, made a fool of Brother Auot - snsx, and produced a local commotion, of which our columns this week have supplied the evidence. The ambition of Brother IGNATIUS is not very high, but his success, such as it is, most silence those who say that we of this enlightened age are no longer governed by outward show. He has furnished another illustration of the "clothes " philosophy" of a celebrated living author. By the simple expedient of dressing himself in a rugged garb and assuming &fanciful name he has beenable to exercise a power which as the Rev. Mr. Lusa, an unbeneticed clergyman in deacon's orders, he would never hare acquired. To this he owes the crowds which flock to him in the great towns of the north, and without this it would have been difficult for him to hare assumed that license of reproach in which he indulged so freely. His cowl has seemed to take him out of the category of the ordinary clergy, and to exempt him from comparisons which would certainly have been instituted if without it he had attempted to play the part of an agitator, and pass from town to town entertaining audiences with wholesale censures, and bringing against his more sober brethren grievous charges, such as always gratify the pride of large numbers of hearers. The Rev. Mr. HILLY -tan, whose performance of his duties as cf the Norwich Workhouse was last Tuesday and Wednesday under investiga tion before Sir Join WALSH, an inspector of the Poor-Law Board, was requested, by an unanimous resolution of the Guardians, passed last April, to resign that appointment, on the ground that he had lost their confidence through identifying him self with Brother Inxsairs and his friends. It appears that before that date the guardians had ex pressed dissatisfaction with the manner in which he had discharged hs duties. He bad not visited the workhouse ofct u enough, nor paid sufficient attention to the instruction of the children in the "homes" it, connexion with it. There can be no d 'Wet, however, after the evidence that was pr. , duced at the inquiry, that the great objection to Mr. HILLY.%RD was the peculiar chi racter of his churetinauship as shown by the ex cessive ritualism of the services at his church, St. Lawrence, Norwich. I t seems that whereas the Holy Communion was formerly celebrated at this church every six weeks, after Easter-day there was a daily celebration, attended by the monks ; incense had also been introduced, and about thirty lighted candles were pieced ou and about the altar. Persons were encouraged on entering the church to dip their fii.ger in water and cross themselves. All these tVm;s displeased the Cuardiana, who withdrew a certain class of the children from atten dance at Mr. HILLYARD'S church. Tothis step that gentleman could make no objection. but he ap pears to have resented tlio attempt of the Guar dians to make hi,, responsible to them for the manner in which ho conducted the service at St. Lawrence. Ths was only a natural professional feeling. It was not alleged that Mr. HILLYARD had introduced improper observances into the ser vices of that workhouse ; and over them even the law gives the Guardian,' no direct authority. They are to be the services of the Church of Eng land ; but, as we know, these vary much in different hat is. The only guarantee of their appropriate performance in workhouses appears to be a clause in the Act of Parliament under which the consent of the Bishop is made necessary to • chaplain's appointment. To the Bishop, therefore, the Guardians appealed by carrying to him a copy of their resolution condemning their chaplain's connexion with the monks, and calling for his resignation. A letter addressed by the Bishop to Mr. HILLYARD was read at the en quiry on Tuesday, in which the conduct of that gentleman as Rector of St. Lawrence was condemned iu severe terms, and it was alleged on behalf of the Guardians that this letter withdrew THE EXPAESS, SATURDAY the Bishop's approval of Mr. Huz.visigillpoln t ment as chaplain. The letter contained a formal admonition of Mr. HILLY• 11.1), and the Bishop, in informing a deputation of the Guardians of that fact, authorized them to communi cate it to the Poor Law Board. The con duct of which the Bishop complained is, strangely enough, the too frequent celebration of the Holy Communion. The Bishop writes : " I require you at once to discontinue the daily " celebration of the LOAD'S Supper, and to minister " that holy sacrament only at such times as before " the present year customary in your church." This inhibition may be recorded by the aide of the memorable notice, " You can't pray here," given three or four years ago by theverger in St. Edward's Chapel, at Westminster. It gives Mr. HILLY•YD a certain controversial advantage, of which he avails himself, writing in his reply, " I must most re " spectfully decline to comply with your lordship's " request to discontinue the daily celebration of the " Holy Communion." However, the question, as far as the workhouse chaplaincy is concerned, is not whether the Bailor or the Rector of St. Law rence is ecclesiastically right as to the proper mode of performing service in that church, but whether the Bisuor's approval of Mr. HILLY•ED as Chaplain is withdrawn. It seems that a cler gyman may discard the comely usages of centuries, and deck himself with alb and chasuble for altar service, and go about the streets in a strange black silk dress, and not only justify himself, but claim to be considered a better Churchman than his neighbours, on the ground that he is observing canons and rubrics which they have allowed to fall into forgetfulness. After what we have seen of late it is impossible to foresee for what practices some obsolete ecclesiastical rule may not some day be quoted. Happily, however, these things may be left to those whom they concern. The guardians of our unions want pious, moderate, and sensible men, to instruct the young, visit the sick, and conduct the services in their workhouses, and the Bishops have every reason to further their wishes. It is very likely that Mr. HILLYARD has a right to make his church so nearly like a mw-house as he does, and that the Bishop can do no more than issue an admonition, which he may decline to accept ; but there is no reason why the Norwich poor should be committed to the charge of an impracticable and eccentric chaplain. be Court.

Sir C. B. Phipps. K.C.8., General Grey, Lieutanant•Colonel the Hon. Fitz Gerald de Roe, Lady A. Stanley, Lady Jocelyn, Hon. Miss Lamellas, and Dr. Jininer, arrived this morning at Windsor at 9.30. The quiet aspect of the station was extremely striking, the public, who are geterally admitted, being on this as on the last occasion, moat rigorously excluded. There was thus no public reception on the platform, much to the dis appointment et the more loyal portion of the inhabitants of the town. None of the town officials were on the platform, but Thames-street, near the station, and the Castle-hill were, however, thronged with spectators. Lord A. Paget, Colonel Biddulph, of the Qatietes household ; aedCaptria Bulkeley, one of the directors ; Mr. Grierson, the general manager; Mr. Kelley, and Messrs. Barlinsou and Matthews, representing the Great Western Railway Company, were in attendance, and received her Majesty and the royal family as they left the train. Both the Queen and Pliocene Helena looked fatigued. Her Majesty very graciously returned the loyal salable of the spectators as she passed through the town. As her Majesty reached the cattle the royal steuderd wear an up on the finstriff of the round tower. His Royal Highness Prince Alfred, accompanied by his suite, left Windier Castle yeeterday morning, and drain down to the Windsor station of the Great Western Railway.

A., left England for the East on Saturday Wt. It is his intention, it is said, to remain there some months, with a view to collect materials for the execution of other works of a similar character to that which has excited so much admiration in the Peen' Robing Room. Mr. Herbert is accompanied by his son, Wilfred, who is an artist.. The report of a dissolution of parliament, and the appearance of a liberal candidate, induced the conger satires of Cambrid:e to bold • meeting on Wednesday night, which was numerously attended. The speakers ex pressed themselves coofideet of returning their present con servative members, mid while they repudiated all attacks on the personal character of Mr. Christie, the liberal can didate, they had no doubt of keeping him out of the repre sentation. A preliminary meeting Las been held in Birming ham to consider the arrangements for the visit of the Bri tish Association to that town next year. A correspoudeut of a contemporary, ➢lr. G. W. Stone, says that be has attended several of the perform. micas by the Daveuport Brothers in America, and that they then distinctly professed to be assisted by disem bxlied spirits.

Hood's army has made a formidable demonstra tcton in Sherman's rear, and has destroyed the railroad for twenty miles between Tunnel' Hill and Reams and between Big Shanty and Allatoona. Hood demanded the aarrendbr of Rama, which was refused. He subsequently advanced and cap tured Dalton and a coloured regiment stationed there. Hood then moved southward, and was con fronted by Stanley's corps at Snake Creek Gap. Severe fighting ensued, the result of which is unknown. Sherman's latest despatch of Sunday states : " We took Ship Gap to-day with a portion of a North Carolina Regiment Two rebel corps are at Lafayette, one went south from Villanova Plain ; they obstructed Snake Creek Pus, but by to-mor row I can move in any direction in the rear of Hood's army, which moved south from Lafayette on Monday." Official despatches represent Sherman's troops at Atlanta as amply supplied. Ten thousand Con federate cavalry are reported round Chattanooga and Dalton. Hood's army is estimated at 30,000 strong. Sheridan reports that Early'e army, now com manded by Longatreet, appeared near Strasburg on Saturday. He found them drawn up in four lines, and attacked them ; but they withdrew with out giving an opportunity for a serious conflict. The Confederates are fortifying Fisher's Hill. Sheridan continues the destruction of barns and mills. Two divisions of Grant's army made a reconnais sance on Thursday to Darbey Town Road, where they found a new formidable line of Confederate works. They assaulted them, but having been re pulsed they withdrew, pursued by the Confederates. The Federal loss was 400 men. General Lee reports that the assault was easily repulsed with a alight Confederate loss. Price has captured Lexington and the Northern Missouri Railroad has been cut. Price's move ment has caused alarm in Kansas, where the militia has been called out. Considerable excitement prevails at Memphis. Forrest is expected to attack the city. Mosby's camp, with four guns, has been captured in the Blue Ridge Mountains. A committee from Tennessee has presented a petition to President Lincoln asking to be relieved of the test oath required by Governor Johnstone's proclamation. The committee have written a letter stating that Lincoln replied that he supposed that New York politicians had concocted the petition. He expected that M'Clellan's friends would manage their side of the election in their way; he would manage his in his way. He might or might not hereafter write something about the matter. The military authorities have closed numerous extensive business houses at Baltimore and Wash ington and arrested the proprietors, it is supposed, on account of contraband trading. The military authorities at Alexandria have arrested prominent I Southern citizens and placed them upon the plat forms of the Manassas railroad cars to prevent guerillas from firing upon the trains. The final result of the Pennsylvanian election k yet undecided. The soldiersivotes show a large republican majority. The Maryland home vote showed 1,600 majority against the adoption of an anti-slavery constitution. This was defeated by 3,000 soldiers' votes, and an anti-slavery constitu tion was adopted. The governor of Maryland, however, decided to throw out the soldiers' votes as unconstitutional. Mr. John Bright has written a letter to Horace Greeley stating that the English well-wishers of the Southern rebellion prefer the election of M'Clellan. The friends of the Union prefer Lincoln, and think they have observed in his career a grand simplicity of purpose, and an unfaltering patriotism knowing no change. Judge Holt has issued a report to the Secretary of War, asserting that an extensive conspiracy against the Union, and the formation of a North- Western confederacy throughout the West exists. The privateer Florida is reported off Saltkey Bank, steering towards Havannah. Fears are en tertained for the safety of the steamer Columbia, overdue at Havannah. The steamer Bat has been captured. The Scotia, City of Washington, and Damascus have arrived out. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE NEW YORK, Om 19, Mominga. Money easy.

The prisoner appeared to be u calm es .anal. EVIDENCE FOR THE DEFENCE. Mr. Thomas Lee rid—l live in King Edward's-row, Hack ney. lam a private gentleman. I knew the late Mr. Briggs. I had known him three or four years. I last eaw him on the 9th of July, at Bow station. He was fa a first class earriege. That was about 10 &clock. The train was earning from Fenchureb-street and it stopped at Bow station. I sew kin in • first-elar oarriage. I did not notice how close to the engine the carriage was. Three or four away I think. I said " Good night Mr. Briggs," and he answered me and said " Good night, Tom." The train stopped rather longer than usual that night. I got into a seoond•claw carriage to go to Hackney. There were two persona in the oompartinent with Mr. Briggs. There was a light in the carriage. I believe Mr. Brigp had his hat on, otherwise I think I should have noticed it. One of the men was sitting opposite to Mr. Briggs, and the other was sitting on Mr. Briggs' left hand side, on the same side of the carriage. I saw sallcient of the man to give a description of them—one in particsilar. He was • stout, thickset mum, with light whiskers. He had one hand in the loop of the carriage, and I notioed he had • large hand. The other appeared to be • tall, dark man. To the best of your belief, is the prisoner one of those men can't swear to him. I should rather think not. The persons In the carriage did not appear to have any intention of leaving the carriage. I gave information to the police. I first gave informition nearly as loon as I heard of the murder. I spoke to a friend first. I was examined before the coroner, and the deposition is what I stated at the time. The coroner told me to be present. I gave my evi dence first to Superintendent Howie. Cross.examined by Sir R. P. Collier—l was not before the magistrate. I live about twenty minutes' walk from Hackney station. How came you to go to Bow !—For a cheese. Was that roar only object!—Yea. I think I left my house about 8 o'clock. I walked up Hackney a little way before I want to my house. What did you walk up Hackney for!—Amusement. I think it wee the quarter to 9 train I left Hackney by. I went to Bow. What did you do at Bow !—I took • stroll to Bow Church. Wu that you object in going to Bow fore stroll'—l went to Bow for • .trop. I went to a house it Bow. I behoove I did not go to more than one house ►t Bow. I be- lieve I did not-1 cannot swear it. Was that your only object in going to Bow, for a stroll —I only went for amusement. Yon don't remember seeing anybody you knew exoep Mr. Briggs believe not. I cannot go beyond my belief I know it was that Saturday night, beasusta heard of the murder on the Monday. I don't know what time it was— about the middle of the day. I don't know where I heard of it ; it might have been at Mr. Ireland's, in Fetterlane, or at Mr. Lake's, io Cheapalde. lam not certain at which place I dined. I live in the immediate neighbourhood. I am positive I did not hear of it on Sunday. I believe I beard of it on Monday. It might have been Tuesday. Will you swear it was Monde, ?—I cannot swear on which day I heard it. I say I believe it was Monday. Ton saw Mr. Brim a few minutes before the murder. Why did you not at first inform the police of it!—Because I did not wish to be brought in, and did not consider my evidence was material. I adhere to that answer. I did not sea there was any need. That answer you persist in °—Yes. I &nit mentioned that I had seen the two men in the car riage ton friend of mine, Mr. Toinkins. I think it was Monday night. I cannot swear to what lam not certain about. Mr. Tomkine is a doctor. Hot my doctor. I told Mrs. Lee. I told ber mit, I believe. Then, I think, 1 spoke about it to Mr. Ireland. These facts did not strike me at the time, u I did not know I should be wanted. I think I told Mr. Ireland on the Tuesday. I believe the neat was Mr. Howie, the superintendent of police. I did not go to him. He came to me in consequence of what I bad been talking about. Bo that lam to take it, you having seen two men in the carriage with Mr. Briggs on the night of the murder, and knowing he wan murdered, did not give information until • week after !—Juat so. I should not have given the infor mation if I had not been applied to. I did not want to be bothered. Did you think it a bother to give evidence for your own friend who had been murdered!-1 - es, I did. I gave the same evidence before the coroner. I don't re member who wee the ticket collector on that night. When I first saw Mr. Brigp the carriage wee stopping. It had not stopped. I got into my carrier immediately after I bade him good night. I have been it. Mr. Brigp's company • good many times. I have dined with him. I never took • meal with him. I have met him in the City, and have frequently ridden with him in the carriage. He wee in the habit of calling me Tom latterly. 1 swear he called me Tom on that night. I got into the next carriage. I got out at Hackney. I did not observe any commotion in Mr. Briggs's carriage. I heard nothing of anything extra• ordinary having occurred in the carriage next to me. Re-examined by &desist Parry—Hackney is not far from Hackney Wick. lam able to swear that I heard of the murder either on the Monday or Tuesday. Oa the following Sudsy, Mr. Superintendent Howie called upon MO, and I gave him the ume account I have given to-day. I have, ' I believe, always given the LIMO account. I was examined twice before the coroner. I afterwards went to Bow sta tion. I was told to go by Mr. Howie. I went to identify Muller, and when I could not I was not called. I could not identify him. I have never 11013 n or beard of Muller before the murder. I have known Mr. Briggs two or three years. He was • man of affable disposition. He generally need to sleep in the railway carriage. When I arrived at Hackney I left the station just as an ordinary passenger, and went away. One of the jery—When Mr. Briggs used to sleep did be have his bat oo or off ?—lie had it oa. George Bryon examined by Mr. Bosley—l am a better by buds. I have been in the trade from a boy, and am acquainted with all the branches of the trade—the second-band trade particularly. In the second-hand trade it is usual with me and others to alter second-hand bats by stitching them when they have been cat down. The hat produced (said to be Mr. Briggs's) is done as I should have does it. I should have done it with dissolved shellac as well as sewing it. Not cross-examined. By the court—l should stitch and then lutes it with shellac, independently of stitching I would do it that way. That is the usual way to do it io the trade. By cue of the Jury—lt :night have been done as this is done if it were done in a hurrv. It would have been stitched in this way. To gum it independently of the sewing, to make a good job of it, would probably take half an hoar. Should cut the lining down as well ?—1 should take the loather out, sod if I had a job of that east I should pots new leather is. William Lee, examined by Satiate t Parry—l am a batter. I have been six or seven years in the trade. It is ► MUM* thing in the second-hand trade, after cutting down bats, to stitch them. I always do. The object is cutting down is that the hats are worn lower now. There is another pro. was besides stitching. Varnish is used. (Mr. Briggs's hat produced.) I have done a great many hate in the same way as this is dose myself. If the hat had been cut down by me, I would put in the old lining. It is cheaper to sew the hat, because we have to buy the shellso. I have never seen this hat before. Serjeant liallantio•—Look at the liaise of the hat—is it cut as you would hare cut it!—lt has certainly been eat, but I dust know why it ham bees cwt. Re•esamined by ti;rjeant Parry—As regards the stitching to this hat I have done many myself in a similar manner. By a Juror—lt is done es I should have done it. I should not have put so many stitches in it. It is cut down rather lower than ►ats are now wore. Alfred Cooper Woodward—l am clerk la the Sheltie Intercational Telegraph Office.

(It was ruled that Serjeant Parry could not elicit what winter said to her.) I should say it was more than half a mile to Camberwell-green from my house. Cromr-examined by Serjeant Ballantlne—Miss Eldred is here. I have moved since that time. lam dill living in the same name. I don't know whether my husband his taken the house in the name of Kent or Joao. My hus band's name in Kent. I have been called Jones many years. He is my second husband. A person wanting to go to King William-street by omnibus would go from the Varian road towards Camberwell-gate. That would take a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes. The omnibuses from Peck ham peas the Lord Nelson. The Peckham and Camberwell omnibuses both go over London-bridge. I took the telegram in from the messenger. I had to sign for it, I be- Love. I don't remember ; it is so long ago. I only recoL lect it earning on that day. I took it up to Eldred directly I received it. I generally dine about lor 2, not later than 2. It came after dinner. I don't recollect how long after dinner. I know it was the 9th by what Mire Eldred told me. Muller came about half-peat 9, half an boar after Miss Eldred went out. I know what time she went oat, because she asked me the time before she went out. I looked at the clock and told her 9 o'clock. It is seven or eight weeks ago that anyone called on me to ask about it. A German gentleman and soother gentleman came. I don't know how long it was after Muller called. It was some weeks after I bad seen Muller. She bad heard at that time that Muller was suspected. I did not know it was the man we knew as Muller until the German gentleman came. Miss Eldred had the telegram in her box. Miss Eldredremembered having the telegram on the same day that the murder was committed. Eldred bad no idea—not for some time—that the Muller was the man she knew. She fancied from the description given that he was the same. She said she recollected having a telegram on the day Muller last came, and she looked for it and found it. That was only two or three weeks ago. She did not think of it before. I re member that the telegram was received on the last day Muller called. The German gentleman was not told about the telegram the tint time he came. I did not think of it at the time. It might be three weeks ago that Eldred and I had any conversation about the telegram. She remembered she had a telegram the same night that he called the last time, and she said she could tell by that the date on which he called. My husband gave it to the German gentleman. I think it was a fortnight come Toes. day. Miss Eldred generally want' to know the time before she goes out. Re-examined—We knew that Moller called on the Satur day before the Tuesday we heard of the murder, and that telegram fixes the date. One of the jury—Had be a bat or cap on 7—A hat. Mary Anne Eldred said—l lived in July last in Lent. street in the Borough. I now live in Peckham. Before I went to live in the Borough I lived in laliogton. I have lived in Camberwell with the same landlady I live with now, at Stanley Cottage, in James-street. I was living there in July last. I have known Muller 12 months. I was often in the habit of seeing him. I remember receiving the telegram produced. On the Saturday before I received the telegram I met him in Old Jewry, Chespeide. On the day I received this telegram I went out at 9 o'clock, and did not rehire until 12. I saw my landlady the next rooming. lam sure I went out at 9. I generally went out at 9. He did not call before I went out. I knew of his going abroad several weeks before he went. He asked me to go with him. He said be was going to see his sister, and if I did net go with him he would only remain six months. I don't remember telling anyone of his having called. I was told some German gentleman bad called. I have sells Mr. Beard. I think I gave the telegram op two or three days ago. Orose-ermined-1 saw Mr. Beard a few days ego. It ia not so loag as a month same I saw Mr. Beard first I don't remember bow bog after I had seen Muller that I spoke about it. I taw two gentlemen at Mrs. Jones's three or four weeks ago. I did not give the telegram then. I did not know that I had it, natil I looked over my letters. I first found it a few days ago. Until that time my attention had not bean drawn to the date. Muller came to see me. I remembered going out from home that night, because I received the telegram. I don't koow what time I received it. I don't think I dined until after 4 that day. I might have breektaated at 10 or 11. I ' get up often at 11. I went to bed much after 12. I think half•past 1. I am positive I went out at 9. I went out every night at that time. I remember so well the land lady telling me that Moller called in the evening. I know I went out at 9 because of the telegram. I don't know what that has to do with it. A juror—Wen you ie the habit ul seeing Mallet's het ? —No, I have not ootioed it. Mr. Thomas Beard, solicitor, said—l bare omplacted the &Noce of the prisoner, instructed by the Genoa. Society. I have heard Miffs'. (+sidearm. Heard him say that whets Muller left him at Bon the Satardsy be told him be wee going to ace his sweetheart, Milli Eldred, at esmberwell. Haifa made that statement to me before Muller arrived from America, and I instructed one of my clerks to make inquiries, and he brought the result to me. The teletrani was first handed to me twelve or (Nutrias days ago. lam not quite sure. Cross-examieed—lt was under my jadanneet that neithe r of there 1/itemises were called before the magistrate or the COCOON'. Charles Foreman said—l am omnibus eel:Quota. to Mr. Barwick, Camberwell-g►te. My omnibus runs from Peckham Rye, rip the Camberwell-read, through the gate, and so to the City. There are other omnibuses sterile% frost New Peckham that go part the Lord Nelson to the Heot•road. My omnibus Marta from Camberwell gate about five minutest* 10 of a night. I leave on my previous journey at 7 o'clock. From Camberwell-green to Camber mallets is about a quarter of a mile, sod from the Yuma n:ad to Camberwell-green is about s quarter of a mile. The Vsmal•rad is at the other sad of the Camberwell-road. I recollect having a gentleman riding ia my omnibus oue night. It was the Let journey, sad he got in at Camberwell-gate. I could not fix any Mate. I don't know how long ego. It was is the rummer. I can not tell the day of the week. My attention wee not called to it until five weeks ego. The ma appeared to be lame. To the best of my belief it was a carpet slipper. I remarked to him be bad a tom* of my oomplaint—the gout. He Last rather heavily on my shoulder. He had light hair. This was the ease for the defame. The Bolicitor-Geormil they proceeded to reply. He said it gave him great eatidaetion to lad that the prisoner had been so ably amisted. If he had been undefesded mow thing might have bees omitted which would have Imes is his favour. As it no, every circumstance that would be adduced to his interest bad been laid before them. The crows mold have no interest is prosecutiog the pri. non, but it was his duty ea the part of the crown, who are the awhile, to me the *videos* was rightly appreciated. His liaised friend bed dwelt upon probabilities. It wee important that they should bear is mind not merely facts bat probabilities. therefore ►is Inroad friend was only right ; but ha blamed him for having dose so in his inning speech. He would mil the attention of the jury to some of the facts. The first and stain fact was "Aye" or " Nre—wea that bat found is the railway carriage the bat of Muller. If it wen his bat worn by him of that night, what followed but that Muller was is that NORTH carriage with Mr. Briggs, and that was proved as much as if he had been wen in the carriage, so that it was impoesible to menete the significance of that fact. He ex pected to have heard a theory that the hat was Muffler's, but that he did not commit the murder. He would have been glad to have head such a theory suggested. The mi. dines upon the subject of the hat had turned out stronger than be was aware, and Mosier than he had stated. He bad stated that the lining in the hat was one usually pot is bis hats by Mr. Walker ; bat it turned out, ►nd that too by the cror.examin►tion for the prisoner, that there were only one or two of that pattern, end he contended that the effect of the whole cross-examination on that subject had tended to corroborate the evidence. Mr. Walker had said the lining was • peculiar one he had from France, and he believed there were only one or two. Mrs. Repsch noticed Muller with • hat with that particular lining. His learned friend had made some attempt to impugn the evidence. He had said she gave it vehemently, but he could not say she was not telling the truth ; but he thought there could not have been • fairer witness. She had had no quarrel with the prisoner, and no reason could be suggested for discrediting what she bad maid, and unless she had com mitted perjury Muller had • hat with that peculiar lining. Aooording to Mr. Walker there were only two hats made with linings like that, and if Mr. [Scilicet were correct the murder must have been committed by one of two men—Muller or the man who wore the other hat. Then where was the other hat, and how about the other hat and the watch and chain. Muller must have bought the watch and chain of the man who wore the other hat, and that on the Monday morning, and then came the fact of Mr. Bitigp's hat which had been cut dews. He submitted that the fact of Muller having been in the car riage with Mr. Briggs and left that hat behind was folly proved, and what more wee wanted? He wee glad to find that his learned friend disowned any intention of im puting the murder to the witness Matthew.. Still, he must say his oross-examiostion tended to give him the suspicion that he bad that object in view. What is the imputation against Matthews? Why, that be was influenced by a desire to obtain a reward, but what was the use of offering • reward for the discovery of a crime if a witness was to be discredited? Muller acid Matthews had never had aay quarrel, and it could not be suppoted that Matthews had been actuated by any feelings against the prisoner. Matthews bad been asked in crommamination where he was on the night in question, and it was not likely that any cabman could tell, until he made • reference, and Matthews had evidently given • satisfactory explanation. Matthews had been asked • good deal about his hats ; but be had fully explained. He contended there could be no doubt that Matthews had bought such a hat for the prisoner, and that was confirmed by Mrs. Matthews, who could not be mid to be actuated by hops of reward or • desire of revenge. The Solicitor-General then proceeded to minutest on the evidence of Matthews with respect troth* hat,•od said it would appear from the mode of defence that if Matthews had not thrown away his hat like Muller's, be or Muller must have committed the murder, or if Matthews had thrown hie hat aw►y, that the mac who bad committed the murder moat have picked up that hat and worn it, but then it must be re membered that Matthews 's hat would not fit Muller. Salami Parry—That has not been proved. Sir 8.. P. Collier mid it was In evidence that Muller hid tried it on, and mid he must have one a sine larger. Mr. Briggs's bat had been miesed.and it was mast conclusive that the man who committed the murder had gone away with Mr. Briggs's hat, and had Mr. Briggs's bat been toned That was a question for the jury to decide. Mr. Divorce bad been called, and it was proved that the hat bad been cut down, and although witnesses had been called, one of whom said he would have done it is a similar manner, he said he would not have sewn it so closely. The hat bad been cut down very low, evidently not to make it fashionable, for it was much lower than hate ware worn now. Then came the ques tion, why was it cut down. If it had been Mr. Briggs's hat, and had not been cut down, Mr. Briggs's name would have appeared in it. This, he argued, was a very important fact. The prisoner had said that be had bad the bat twelve mouths, but be bad not attempted to give any explanation as to where or of whom he pur chased that hat. Muller was at Bepsch's on Satur day afternoon, and up to that time it was noticed there was no difference in his clothes or his bat, but at Monday morning when he again goes to Repech's it is noticed that be had a different bat. This was the evidence in regard to the hat, sad it the jury were satisfied that the hat found was Mullet's, and the one found on him was Mr. Brigp's, probably they would not require additional evidence for the promotion ; but then unfortunately there came the watch and chain. The watch was found in his box, and there was no pretence for saying that be bought It on the voyage. The prisoese had been spoken of as • vain men, and fond of boasting. and was it Dot likely that if he had such a valuable watch and chain, and bad come honestly by it, would not he have boasted of it to his friends? The evidence which he had brought before the jury was strong circumstantial evidence, and he thought his learned friend bad failed to battle with the strong facts that had been brought forward. They were too strong for any advocate to battle with. His learned friend had tried to show that it was highly improbable that Muller had committed this murder. He agreed with him that it was quite improbable that any man or number of mu should have committed such a crime. If any man felt himself safe say where It was in a railway carriage. One of the most improbable crimes had been committed, and must be dealt with. He argued that be warn not bound, as his learned friend had tried to show, to produce the weapon used or the manner i• which the blows were inflicted. That would be too much to undertake. He was not able to show with what instrument the blows were initiated, but that they were indicted with some blunt instrument, and in that carriage, there could he no doubt. His learned friend had represented Mailer aa a weak man, and Mr. Bcigga as • (Atomic, heavy mac. The prisoner was a young man of the age when physical drug* was most fully developed, and Mr. Drips had only re cently recovered from a severe Mown, and ha argued that Mr. Briggs woad have no thaws with such • man as the prisoner. Hie learned friend also said there was no doubt • terrific struggle, but he submitted there was so Wag. gle, the only evidence of a struggle having taken place was his shirt frost being • little crumpled, whereas if there had been • terrific struggle, as his friend had proposed. his clothes would have been torn to shrub. Mr. Briggs might have been asleep, and theta is very little doubt that the first blow indicted rendered Mr. Briggs immediately in sensible. A good deal had been said about the prisoner's clothes. There amid be no doubt that Muller, oe the Sunday, wore the same clothes he wore the day before, and that was certainly a point in his boom, but it might be that the man who committed the murder would not have any blood on his clothes. Still it was quits certain that neither the trimmers nor the oat with the velvet collar were forthcoming. Having commented upon the evidence for the prosecution, he proceed to glance over the case for the defence. Mr. Lee had been called, and be bad not bees celled by the prem. cution, because his evidence was not deemed sum. Meetly trustworthy. The evidence Mr. Lee had given was the most remukable be bad ever beard in • court of justice. He represents that be saw Mr. Briggs, who called him " Tom." Mr. Lee saw the men is the carriage with Mr. Briggs two or three minutes before he was murdered, and had not given information to the police, and he said he thought it immaterial, and he supplemented that by saying he thought it • bother to attend. Such a witness was not deemed fit for the prosecution. The evidence of this witness was most extraordinary. He went to Bow, spoke to no one, saw no one, and went back again, accord ing to his own account, having spoken to no one. Mr. Lie was in the next carriage, and he heard nothing of the circumstance at Hackney. Wu he there that night at all, or was he speaking of some other night. With regard to the alibi that bad been attempted to be set up, he said it was ussatisfutory. If Muller bad called at the hours of Mrs. Jones half an hour earlier than was said that would have given the prisoner time. There was Duthie( to fix the exact time be called upon the mind of Mrs. Jones. Mn. Jones said it was about half an hour after the girl went out, which she knew was 9 o'clock, because she looked at the clock, and the girl thinks she went out at 9 that eight, because she always went out at 9. If the girl had gone out • little before 9. and Moller went • few minuted after—what then? How could Mrs. dome re collect so king after whether be called a few miontes or half an hour after 9. Muller was at ftepech's, and left about half-past 7 or • quarter to 8, end it was said by Haifa that he said he was going to see this girt. Supposing he did, if he had taken the omnibus, be would have been there about ball-past $ or a quarter to 9 perhaps • few minutes past 9. He did not stay loop sad if he took an consibus and started about a quartr•past 9, he mild have arrived at Kin William• * * et abet by in t he pe w the 6 04 Air which had omega. which iod ei the Prh t h e @video e nd abidiz i ociety gum The oou d the 00C the eew I whir oar Yeater a fire was kilns of I Side, at E thossead fall.
