The prisoner was first put upon his trial for the mur der of &fr. Parker. The Comstom SICItORIRT and Mr. CHITTY conducted the prosecution. and Mr. Artnazws appeared for the prisoner. At the first sitting of the Court, an application was made by the prisoner's Counsel to postpone the trial, on the ground of the absence of a material witness, hut Mr. Baron Wow) being of opinion that ample time had al ready been afforded to the prisoner to prepare for his defence, refused the application.

The following witnesses were then called in support of his statement. Isabella Johnson proved, that on the 3d of March, between one and two, she saw the deceased Sarah Brown. the house-keeper of the deceased Mr. Parker. Witness spoke to bor.

At half-past one, on an alarm of fire, he came to the house; he broke open the door, and went in —it was locked svithinside, on the spring, as in the day time; the house and furniture were on lire—the front parlour was burning, full of smoke; he threw water in to the room. When the smoke was dispersed, two bodies were placed on the table; could distinguish that one was a woman hot not the man ; there was only one leg of the man left unhurt ; a IMIIS's shoe was on the foot of that leg ; there was blood on the floor behind the par lour door—no great quantity—it was then wet. t:n his cross-examination he said, that there was a crotv.l of twelve persona at the door when he first went up—did not see any windows open.

(In his cross-examinatioa, could not be sure as to the state of the beds. John Hay proved, that on the 4th of March, at two in the morning be went to Mr. Parker's house; took the eagine ; went in; right or ten people there went into the front chamber; there had been fire about the bed, but it was out. The fire there did not communicate with the Gee in the parlour. The bedding was not much burnt ; [the bed tras thrown out of the window before witness ar- Lived. The drawers in room had been opened (ex mar in the parlour), so as to show what they contained, ;Mid the articles dropped on the floor just under the ,drawers ; there had been fire in the room over the chant , that was a bed-room too, and more burned than the er one. The fire here could not have arisen from ether of the rooms below ; the bed-curtains were nearly destroyedi. lii t he t e time.e fe t a t a h n e ' r i s h ; e 1 i t . c i l t ° lu t s h t e s h y & e v r e y b m ee n n c l l ' s n i r nj u " i o r t j i g n ' This witness described the state of the bodies more janicularly, bat not materially differing from the former iskiesses: William Campion, a countable, proved, that on the lei floor there was a box containing a considerable Iruatity afloat*, some of it marked T.

He killed the woman by striking leer, but he did not like to hear of it. Prisoner often went to the play after he returned from London, and dressed differently to what he dad done before-e-4 hat instead of a rap, and white top boots--let his whiskers grow, which he did not before, and wore silver spectacles. This witness underwent a very long and severe cross examination, but she did nut deviate matelially from leer original story.

Witness brought back the watch the same day—it had stopped—he called for it again in a few days—he asked its value. Witness said it was worth 51.—be said, " Is it not gold ?" Witness said be had thought it was. Prisoner said it had been in his family 100 years—lie had the watch away. Baraard Solomons, pawnbroker, at Portsmouth.
