On leaving the place to make the alarm. on her return the door was shut ; never heard the deceased expiesi any uneasiness about any circumstance of this • kind happening, or of her having spy money in her pos. 'session. Witness was no relation to the decease:l. The 'habits of the deceased were well known in the neighbour 'bond: Never knew Mrs. Bell to sleep out all night ; if tile did it was very seldom ; would know the potter she `found on entering the gate. (The poker was here pro dared). —Witness had not the smallest doubt but that - Sias the poker, and that it belonged to Mrs. Richards. 'lt was generally kept in the parlour.

The mere of the deceased appeared to be • nice woman. and was much affected by the circum stance-. She told witness, without solicitation, that she and her husband were innocent.

She further observed, that" she would not mind if they bad taken the whole .of ter *nut's property, so that they bad not murdered her." 'rbere was no one else present during the conversation. The Coroner here suggested to the witness that she need not e trertain the least fear of disclosing her suspi cions to the Jury, if she felt any impression who were the murderers. Witness thought the niece and her husband were inno cent, but she was satisfied that the deed was performed by a person or peruses who knew the house well.

She said she had a light. Wit ness and deceased merely converged together concerning .a. house which she resided in. There was a gate at the back part of the house through which the deceased used occasionally to pass for water ; if any one had passed through' that gate, witness must have heard the 'noise "from the close connexion of his and the d i eceased's house.

He could nut say any thing in elucidation of the affair. Mr. William Glasier, of Clapham, lived three doors from the deceased. On Tuesday evening, about a quar ter past eight o'clock, lir.
