" Mr. Simmons—" How did you learn any thing respecting the silver tulle?" Gidduns—" In a general conversation amongst 30 or 40 people I heard It spoken of; but I never heard either of the prisoners say any thing about it." In answ er to several qnestions from Mr. Kinnard, niddons said, that, to the best of his recollection, the day of the mur der was either Thursday or Friday. He was dressed in a blue jacket and cauvass trowsers, at the time, being employed as a rigger. His accomplices, Hutton, Raines, and the strange matt, were dressed in the same manner. At this period of the investigation Raines was removed from the other, and the Magistrate asked Hatton whether lie h any question to ask the witness.

Mr. Jolinson, brother to the deceased. was then called upon by Mr. Kinnard. and he stated. that the idea concerning the silver tube was quite crmncous. The murder of his brother Look place on the first Friday night in February. Ile weft down to the spot in which the body lay on Sunday morning. Pere a Gentlemen named NVillits. who retid4 in Brewer-street. Golden-square, stepped Mrwani and said, that Lieutenant Johnson had dined with him on that Friday. and left him at four n'eloek, with the intention of going in the coach to Gravesend. The w 4 tnnis heard nothing of the lieutenant iurtil he heard of his death. He supposed that the lieutenant was too late for the coach, and that he walked to wards Woolwich, for the purpose of taking leave of rapt. Ellison. who was his intimate friend. %Viten he left Mr. %Mats he was per - hall) sober. Mr..lohnson then resumed his statement.

Thelma'', was greatly nianglocl. upwards of half a dozen gashes in the throat ; the thumb of one hand was nearly cut off: anti the other hand was almost cut to pieces. Mr. Brown, Elder of the Eiot India Pepper warehouses, Black. wall. that Baines was, about the time of the murder, a punctual workman there. The hours of work were from eiiht to thee, and the name of Raines was marked in attendance until three o'clock in the afternoon on the day of the night of the nnirder. Mr..lohnsoit, being a professional men. was regretted to examine the wrist of Giddons. Ile did so, and reported that the joint ap. {eared to have been much injured, but he did nut think the arm had been broken. The Magistrate asked Gidilons (who was not pre. rent when Mr. Brown gave his evidence) at what hour Haines and Hatton went to him at the Lowder Water-gate, previously to their 1 ,-ering to London to look ter work at the India-house.

R tore Gidilons left the office, be solemnly repeated that every score he bad said was true.
