As the Supplement extends to upwards of an hundred closely-printed Imperial Octavo pages, it is sold at nearly the same proportionate price as the " Post Office London Directory " itself, which, as stated in an able Review of the book for the current year, published in the " Times " on the 30th of November last, " is necessarily a bulky volume ; but its bulk, contrary to the general rule, is an advantage, and it may be said to contain no superfluous pages whatever." The Post Office Lon don Directory " is, beyond all comparison, the cheapest work which isQues from the press, taking mere size into consideration, and without reference to the various classifications, and other matters too numerous to be detailed here. This Directory was characterized by the " Examiner," of the 16th of December last, as a " perfect marvel of arrangement, accuracy, and fulness of information." And the " Morning Herald" of the 30th of the previous month, likewise re viewing the " Post Office London Directory for 1849," described it as " an authoritative Directory of the capital of Great Britain, laughing rivalry to scorn." The " Supplement" now published at the price of one shilling, contains the " Postal Directory," furnish ing all the regulations of the Post Office as affecting the receipt and dispatch of letters to the five thousand principal places throughout the world, copious Money Order information, &c., &c., &c., and the " Parliamentary Directory," likewise contained in this " SupVe meat," furnishes the usual information with reference to Teets and Members of the House of Commons.

THE NICOLL.—REGENT• STREET and CORNHILL. BESIDES the above Patented Article, there is another Novelty introduced for this Season which is however, Registered, and consists in a BODY GARMENT some what in the form of a Dress-coat, that is to say, a Gentleman can wear it in the evening without distinctly infringing the laws of costume recognised in Society ; but as it is more especially in tended for morning wear, when Riding or Walking, it necessarily avoids the stiff formality to Ds observed in the cut and form of_the Dress-coat. The price is TWO GUINEAS. the same as charged at 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL, for THE REGISTERED PALETOT, wkich is likewise new ready - for the Spring months, with all the new and patented improvements included in the above moderate price; thus it deservedly bears the name of being not only the most fashionable but also the cheapest and most durable garment ever offered to the Public, the intrinsic value of the material known as NICOLLIAN or LLAMA CLO 211, being, within the last few months, much enhanced, the same durability being retained, with an increased fineness and beauty in appearance. It can be seen ready for imme diate wear, in every size, at 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL, bat IT is impossible to detail in an ordinary Adver tisement the many advantages appertaining to the above gar ments. In the first place, Messrs. NICOLL purchase the wool direct from the foreign grower, and it does not leave their possession until it is produced in a complete form and ready for the inspection of their Patrons. Messrs. NICOLL are honoured with the patronage of their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert, Prince George of Cam bridge, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, his Grace the Duke of Wel• lington, and all others distinguished in Rank and Fashion, the Court, the Pulpit, and the Bar. At 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL, there is to be seen THE NICOLL.—A patented garment and pos• sessing this peculiarity, that whilst in its exterior it preserves every characteristic of the Registered Paletot, it can, by simply detaching an inner lining, be conver ed from a warm to a light 0. ercoat, or vice versa, at the pleasure of the wearer. This same inner lining, when detached, of itself forms a most comfortable reading or dressing jacket. There are many other advantages con allied in THE NICOLL, rendering it as a garment a most valuable adjunct in a variable climate, also for travelling, &c., but it should be seen and worn to be fairly appreciated, but it can be had in Lon don only at 114, 116, 120, REGEITT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL, an 1 TT is perkaps unnecessary here to state that Messrs. NICOLL will endeavour to deserve and retain the eminent position they have attained through the employment and liberal payment of the best skill and talent tkat can be met with in order to introduce articles of gentlemanly costume in the most perfect taste. Messrs. N. are well aware that their great popularity induced by the high character exhibited in every point of the Registered Paletot, Etc., &c., has caused many to assume a somewhat similar title for their goods, but the copy has consisted only in a close re semblance of tke name but not of the article ; a careful observance of the annexed address is therefore respectfully solicited, where the above garments can only be obtained in London. 11.

THE STANFIELD-HALL MURDERS. CONVICTION OF RUSH. (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) NORWICH, WEDNESDAY. The Court was not so crowded this morning. Rush, we understand, was busily engaged during part of the night in writing, and preparing for the continua tion of his defence to-day. He ate a hasty breakfast at eight o'clock. Mr. Baron ROLFE took his seat at a quarter to nine. The jury then entered the box. After the lapse of a few minutes Rush was placed at the bar; he looked well. Rush continued his defence. —Having reminded the jury of what he was saying when he broke off last night (the prisoner spoke sometimes in so low axed guttural a tone that we could only gather the purport of his remarks with great difficulty), he complained that all the witnesses had been tampered with , and asserted that in many most important points they bad clearly and grossly contradicted themselves. Had Howe been a respectable man his evidence would have been most im portant for the ends of the prosecution. He had received a letter yesterday, signed by several respectable per sons, stating that he had offered to come to Norwich to give evidence on either side for twenty pounds. He regretted he could not put it in evidence. Of course, only having been informed at the last moment that Howe would be called, he could not be ex pected to obtain all the evidence that he could wish to show the character of 00 fitness. lie should, how ever, produce respectable Individuals who would inform them who and what Howe was. Then, the boy Smith, who littered the straw, gave different evidence in this court to that he had given before the Coroner. The COURT intimated that the depositions taken before the Coroner were not in evidence. He had simply to answer the evidence that had been adduced in this court. Rush said, then, he would not allude further to that discrepancy in the testimony of the witness. He clearly showed that the " slack " had been littered some time before the day of the murder. The straw had been there more than a fortnight. The COURT intimated that the witness said he could not swear that it bad been there more than a fortnight. He could not speak to the exact time, whether it was a fortnight or a day or two before the murder. Rush contended that the witness meant to say that the straw had been there a fortnight. The assertion that he had said " young Jermy was his enemy," was got up for the purpose of colouring the case against him, and was altogether opposed to truth. He complained that the papers in his carpet-bag had been thrown about for the purpose of rendering them as valueless to him as pos sible. Ho then referred to the evidence of Pont and Mortar, the constables. Great mystery was endeavoured to be attached to the wigs. Why, they were kept in an open box, to which access could be easily obtained, which would not have been the case if they had been kept for the purpose of disguise. The pri soner then proceeded to deal to painful tediousness with the most trivial matters which cannot affect the posi tion in which he stands to any extent. Speaking of the evidence of Hubbersty with respect to Emily Sandford signing her deposition, he said he knew by the man's eye that he was telling a lie. He complained much of Mr. Cann's interference with his private papers, and of the secret examinations of Emily Sandford by him. The fictitious signatures of Mr. Jermy were so unlike the real, that no person of the s li g htestsense could mistake the two. Let them look at them and say, as men of business, if they would not at once be detected. I t was said that he intended to murder Mr. Jermy, and to make use of the forged deeds in order to get possession of the property, which was as horrible and as gross and un founded a charge as could be brought against any man in a court of justice. His signature was a most uncommon one ; it was well known, and the forgery could, therefore, be detected at once. He implored the jury to examine the two, and to judge for themselves. So much evidence had been adduced, and that of so contradictory a nature, that he trusted the :jury would bear with him. He saw they were patient, and he was obliged to them. Ho was utterly at a loss to understand why Savory, who spoke to meeting him at five o'clock on the night of the murder. was produced, except it was to prolong time. He put it to them, as men of common sense, if it was likely that he would make the inquiries he had as to whether or not Mr. Jermy was at home on the night of the murder, if he intended that same night to commit the horrible crime of murder. It was not feasible, and he could not ,make it out. He defied any one in England to say, after looking at tho way the pros ecu ti on had been conducted, go justice his importanceaht hteet had p ar idv t" a a ht k ae i d n t s s examinationse done n defencesoinoe t him—everybody i o amt f d and had— e o m withholding y c te u arky e e b n n o t dp s yla o ckt f ehn,e t ethmwoe that a u ay ntmdthat had not. [A juryman here asked for a glass of water, and the prisoner, who had a glass beside him, immediately raised it, and, bowing, drank with him.l The prisoner returned to the different points of his defence again and again, going over the same ground, and interlarding his observations on the evidence of each witness with appeals to the Almighty in proof of his innocence. He repeated that ho never used stronger lan guage to any one with respect to Mr. Jermy than he had to that gentleman himself. Howe had been kept back until the last moment, and at a time when the counsel for the prosecution knew that he would have but little tine to bring forward evidence to show the value of his testimony. He had now gone through the remarks which he had to make upon the pricipal evidence adduced against him. Instead of its being to his interest that Mr. Jermy should die it was to his interest that he should live, entered ou nt with him with respect t o the property. The of the agreements into which prisoner uttered this with muc h ve hemence, striking his o h n e a° hand as ho said it emphatically on the dock before him. The facts he had already stated showed that an at tempt to take possession of the hall Witi not unlikely. The parties who had tried it before bad bad nothing done to them, and there was an idea that had they held pos session they would have succeeded. He hoped the jury would consider the whole bearing of the subject, and think of nothing that had appeared in newspaper re ports, for they must see the difference between those re ports and the evidence. And first, as to time, they would bear in mind the conflicting evidence which had been given in that respect. A great fuss had been made about his not cross-examining Miss Sandford the second time she was brought forward as a witness. He asked the jury to consider the situation she was in. She went to the hall for twelve hours, and there she was made to believe all these things, and to turn round against him, Still, on the first deposition made by her he was willing to stand or fall. If it was the last word he had to speak, he would show that he went no further than he h already stated; that it was c l a m r po o si sible for him tort gone further than the b + five minutes therehe w fe e r n to bed al only. Emily Sandford stated thaiisi e, and that would his farm; and tint he stopped ways at nine o'clock or half-pas_t double that time fire But, supposing he was -line, fi th v e e j m u l y beard what time Pont took to walk the distance between r the hall and Potash in the open day. But Pot ashshow that he was not out mere than twenty or twenty laud was not like common walking land, and the time was night. He hoped the jury would consider whe ther Emily Sandford's evidence given before them ought to weigh against his life. Had he contemplated such an act, did the jury think that he would have had her there at all? She said that ho trembled; but he was frightened by what he had told them about. However, when that was over and he had got into bed and begun to warm he became as calm and collected as he was at the pre sent moment.—(Sensation.) He knew that his con science was clear ; and did they think that he would have had God Almighty's protection in standing there as he had done it he was guilty ? He could not have looked them in the face ; he should have been mad be forethat the now.—(Renewed sensat i on. ) His Lordship said (the prisoner) put to Emily Sand ford were not important ; but he said they were. They showed she was the last person he would have thought of using for such a purpose as the forgery of these questions hhe papers. As to those papers they must bear in mind the different evidence which she had given with regard to them. He hoped that after that evidence the jury would not (indeed they could not) think that such was the case. He had always been in the habit of going to the White Hart at Norwich, and could always get a bottle of wino there to dinner when he wa n t e d i t ; and as to the brandy, considering that she was in the family-way, it was necessary that she should have some when she was ill, and be told her so.—(Sensation.) The effect, however, sought to be produced by the counsel for the Crown was, that he gave Emily Sand ford brandy in order to make her sign the papers. The JUDGE —I don't think there was anything in that evidence. You may address the jury on the point, but it has produced no impression on my mind. The prisoner—No one could read that evidence with out thinking that what he had stated was the effect of it. That brandy evidence was introduced into the trial to make the forged papers of more consequeLce. He only wished to cheer her up, poor thing, when she did not feel well.—(Sensation.) The JUDGE—It seems to me most absurd that any inference such as you have stated should be drawn from this. But lam glad you mentioned it, because it strikes me that you would be more likely to cheer her up with wine than brandy .—(Sensation.) The prisoner thought it would be material to show the dress which he really did wear upon the night of the murder. Some of the parties who had been produced as witnesses before them had seen it. It was held up be fore them in the yard at Potash, where, knowing the eircumstances that were likely to fix suspicion on him, he had ,put it before the police arrived. Whether it was that, after the evidence which had been given as to the appearance of the man seen at the Hall, they thought it ROYAL POLYTECHNI INSTITUTION, REGENT-STREET.

Everything he had said were facts, and plain facts. He now wished to apply for Mrs. Jermy's deposition. The JUDGE—If you read that deposition as part of your evidence, you read it as evidence of some true fact. The prisoner did not say that Mrs. Jermy had given truthful evidence. The jury would have to say whether she had or not. He would have the evidence read, as he thought it would throw light upon the value of the other evidence which had been given. The JUDGE—Very well. I should like you to repeat what you stated about the dress worn by you on the night of the murder. The prisoner had no secret to make about it. It was a blue frock dress which he used to slip on after his knowledge of the transactions of parties who were about to take possession of Stanfield-hall. H a ving guile out with it, and hearing guns, and knowing that he might be suspected by the police, he put the dress in a certain place in the yard.—(Sensation.) Yesterday he had sent for the dress, in order to show that it would contradict the evidence which had been given as to the dress which the man wore who was seen at the hall. He also wished to show the place in the loose frock where he could put his hands, and the manner in which he put it on by put ting his neck through. That he had no doubt was the dress spoken to by some - of the witnesses. It accounted in some measure for the evidence which had been given on the subject. That having been described in some way accounted for the evidence as to the length given by the witnesses, who stated that the cloak did not come over the knee. They might have known, after seeing that cloak on him, that such evidence must have been given.—(Sensation.) The judge stated that Mrs. Jermy's evidence was against him; but the jury were men of sense and understanding, and he said that that evidence was not against him. They would com pare her evidence with that of Watson and Chestney. She said, " I did not see his face at all, but it struck me immediately it was Rush." Now here it was again. Mr. Jermy's favourite time for seeing him was after dinner, and that might strike Mrs. Jermy and give her the idea. On the cross-examination, if they thought that evidence against him, why then God Almighty knew it was the worse for him, and they would give a wrong verdict. He would prove that Mrs. Jermy was the person who had given the best description of that man, and par ticularlyi - ticularly of his dress. He had no hesitation n statin that she had given a correct description of the man ' s dress; there was not a question of it.—(Sensation.) They could not for one moment suppose that the person Mrs. Jermy saw at the Hall was the same as Watson saw, He said again to the jury that they ought to take time, and for the sake of his children, whose hearts were breaking, and for the sake of themselves and their families, to divest their minds of all prejudices which they might have contracted before they came into court. They would consider if it was possible for him to be the man seen in the Ball that night. They would consider the discrepancies between the evidence of the different wit nesses, and the remarks which ho had made upon them. Let them consider the distance from the one place to the uther and what had been stated on that point, and he was sure God would lead them to decide in his favour. He trusted that God would guide them; and if there was a difference of opinion they would think it the happiest day of their lives to stand firm and give no verdict; but if they found him not guilty, they would be blessed for it in their dying moments that they did not return a ver dict of guilty against an innocent man. He said again to them, let them trust in God and do their duty, and let them net be led away from the facts by the false evi dence that had been given against him. Might God Almighty bless them and make them discern, and give them a wise and understanding heart. Ile desired and expected only justice at their hands; and he asked them this for the sake of his poor little children, who were des titute of a mother, and who were looking to them to return their father to his home.—(Great sensation.) This was the prisoner's defence ; the concluding sen tences being read by him from a brief, and delivered in a slow and even manner, amidst the breathless silence of the court. Once or twice his voice seemed choked with emotion, but, after a pause, he recovered, and through out his long defence ho appeared calm and self• possessed. The JUDGE—WiII you repeat, prisoner, what you said about Dick, Joe, and the lawyer? The prisoner produced in evidence a letter, stating how he came to know what had happened. The JUDGE—It can be no evidence; it is a letter from you to your solicitor. That is no evidence at all. The prisoner here said, I want to ask Mr. Cann once more if he has any more letters to produce. There aro Letters of his written to me which I wish particularly to have in evidence—particularly two written in October. He was in the habit of sending letters to me very often, but I don't recollect the dates. Letters from Mr. Jermy to the prisoner on various matters connected with the farm, and a notice sant by the prisoner to Mr. Jermy requesting valuators to be appointed for the Felmingham farm, were next given in evidence. Mr. George Waugh, solicitor, of London, was then called, and examined by the prisoner—On the Ist of December last he went down to Wymondham in conse quence of a letter from the prisoner. He sent up his card to announce his arrival. He saw the prisoner im mediately afterwards. Could not recollect what room it was in. The police were present at the time. Several similar questions having been put to the wit ness, The JUDGE at last said—l cannot allow you to pro ceed with those questions. They have nothing to do with the case before us. All you have to show is whether you are or are not the person who murdered Mr. Jenny. Prisoner—Yes, my Lord; but I wish to show the un fair way in which I was treated by the magistrates. JUDGE—I really cannot allow it. I have listened very patiently to all you have had to say, but really there must be some bounds to this discussion. Examination continued—Returned from the Bridewell in about two hours. Mr. Cann, the solicitor, was with him. An inspector of police was sent to the Bridewell along with him. The inspector went to give directions that witness should not see the prisoner without a police man being present. Mr. John Caun went into the room where the prisoner was with witness. The police had retired into the passage The prisoner made some ob servations to Mr. Cann. Prisoner—What was said by you when I made those observations to Mr. Cann? Mr. Sergeant BYLES—I really must interpose now, my Lord, for all this is quite foreign and irrelevant to this inquiry. Prisoner—My Lord, I want to show tho villany of Cann. He knew he was acting as nay solicitor up to the time — The JUDGE —You cannot ask the question. It is im possible for the prosecution to be prepared with evidence to refute such statements, and I really am at a loss to know what all this evidence is coming to. Prisoner (to witness)—Did you make use of words to the effect that I could not put my case into better hands than those of Mr. Canny—l said you ought to put your case into the bands of some respectable solicitor, and that I know of no one better than Mr. Cann. The witness was not examined by the Crown, and he retired, but WiLS called back by the prisoner. Who is William Frederick Howe—he says he has been a clerk of youro?—Yes, he has. Is he a man you would believe on his pith?—Certainly not, if he was contradicted by respectable testimony. What did he leave your employment for? The JUDGE would not allow the question to be put and the witness left the court. Arthur Hyde called and examined by the prisoner. What is your profession?—l am au accountant and arbitrator. Do you know William Frederick llcwe?—l do. When did you first see him?—On the 4th of December, in the coffee-room of the Wheatsheaf Tavern, about 8 o'clock in the evening. Had you any conversation with him on the subject of the Stanfield-hall murders?—l had only one conversa tion with him; but I heard him make several remarks about it. State the expressions ho used?—The witness was pro ceeding to do so, when Mr. Sergeant BYLES objected, and called on the priso ner to put to the witness only such questions as would enable him to affirm any statement the witness Howe as serted he had denied. The JUDGE—Those questions certainly are irregular. (To the prisoner.) You have been without counsel during this trial. You had the means of having counsel if you thought fit, but you did not do so. An enormous latitude has been allowed to you all through, but there must be bounds to it. If you call one witness to contra • diet another, you must only call him to say that another witness said something which he says he did not say. Prisoner—How could Ido so? How could I know what the man would say? You tic my hands because I am not a lawyer like these learned gentlemen below me. The JUDGE—You should have asked Howe at the time. Prisoner—But how should I know what Howe was going to state? How could I tell what he was going to say? It is most cruel and most unjust to treat mo in this way. The JUDGE—It is very unjust to the other parties in this case to allow you to do otherwise. Witnesses must be protected as well as the party accused. It you can show Howe had money it is another question. The jury here got together in their box and consulted for a moment, and The JUDGE said—Perhaps the hest thing you can do is to have Howe called back, and ask him what he said; that would be the most re; ilar course. The Counsel for the Crown having agreed, Howe was sent for, and meantime Maria Bianchitower was called and examined by the prisoner. What aro you?—l was nursery-maid at Stanfield-hall. Were you there the night of the murder ?—I was. Where were you when you heard the first report?— In the nursery. How long were you before you came down stairs?—l did not come down till I heard three more reports. How did you go down?—By the back stairs from the nursery. Pid you see Eliza Chestney lying at the bottom of the stairs?—No; I think they had removed her. Where did you go when you went down stairs?—To -e 7 17 ' [PRICE SD. The JUDGE—What assertion are you speaking of? Witness—He said, my Lord, he had evidence to hang _Rush; and I sai it L. vry sari. us assertion unless he could sustain it. The JUDGE—But you never said anything of this be fore. All you said was, that he offered to go duwn to Norwich for 201. on either side. Mr. PRENDERGAST—What did Howe say he knew of Rush? The JUDGE—You cannot ask that question—it is ir regular. The prisoner (who seemed rather impatient at the cross-examination of this witness).—See that, now. All this, I say, is taking advantage of me, after the whole of this fact has been found out. I say it is most shameful and disgraceful to go on so. The JUDGE—But there was nothing irregular except the last question. The prisoner—l say their objections to this witness at once shows what they are. They are irregular. The JUDGE—The irregularity of examining these witnesses at all is ono I committed at your request. Cross-examination continued—Witness'e expenses had been paid by the agent to the prisoner's solicitor. Had received 31. for coming down to Norwich. The witness retired. The JUDGE then asked the prisoner—Whom do you call now? The prisoner—Oh, there's no use in my calling wit nesses, my Lord. What is the use of my doing so? There's this man Howe never has been brought in till the last moment. Why? Because this man was coming against him. If I had time I could get other witnesses in the same way. The JUDGE—But you cannot ask this witness to con tradict anything the other has not said. Prisoner—Yes, they keep him back to the eleventh hour. Is that the way to have justice done ? No, they only care about getting up their case ; when this man comes forward, every one knows how they have treated him. The JUDGE—I cannot hear you make a speech. Call your witnesses. The Prisoner, sitting down—l have no more witnesses. At the request of the prisoner, a letter dated 6th of January, from the prisoner to Mr. Jermy, in which he stated he would give Mr. Jenny one more chance bbfore he published the pamphlet alluded to in the course of the trial, was read by the clerk of the court ; also another letter of the 26th of April, from the same to the same. The prisoner applied to the Court to have a copy of his application to the magistrates to have certain papers and documents necessary to his defence given by Mr. Cann to his (prisoner's) solicitor given in evidence. The magistrates refused ; but stated that his solicitor should see the papers at any reasonable time. The JUDGE decided that it was not an admissible document. The evidence in support of the prisoner's case was closed about three o'clock, when Mr. Sergeant BYLES rose to reply. When he ad dressed the jury at the opening of the case he had ex pressed his regret that the prisoner had no counsel to defend bins. He could not, however, help saying that the prisoner had had advantages he would have been denied if he had not conducted his own defence. The inquiry which had been inflicted oirlhem in 'Consequence was, he thought, one of the longest that hisd ever been inflicted on a jury in the annals of judicial suffering. He would make one observation, and one only, on the pri soner's line of defence. He would then allude to some of the evidence given in the case. The prisoner had fallen into two very great mistakes. The one was that of confounding the conduct of the prosecution, to which most of his observations and evidence applied, with the question whether he was innocent or guilty. He could not help saying that the ma gistrates who were intrusted with the public safety, and who were the guardians of the peace of the county, had an extremely difficult duty to perform. They had to conduct the examination of Emily Sandford in the presence of the prisoner, who, they were told, conducted himself so violently that he had to be removed. He (Sergeant Byles) trusted that the jury would n t t; be of opinion that anything coming out i n th e pris ner's cross-examination reflected on the conduct of the, magis trates. He could not help saying also, that as to the accusation against Mr. Cann, it was denied by that gentleman, and disproved by Mr. Waugh. It was quite unusual for the prosecution to give the accused copies and documents such as the prisoner's solicitor had been furnished with. The prisoner's solicitor had been allowed to ransack all the documents of the prosecution, and was allowed to make any copies that might be useful for his defence. The prisoner hero interrupted, when The JUDGE said—l must have you removed, prisoner, if you interrupt. The prisoner —Well, then, I must be removed. Mr. Sergeant BYLES continued—He had another ob servation to make. The prisoner seemed to have pro ceeded on the notion that if there was any variation in the details of the evidence when the evidence of one wit ness was compared with that of the other, that evidence was to go for nothing. He would make only one obser vation to the jury on that point. When three or four witnesses spoke to a fact which they had seen, if they gave trustworthy testimony they would agree in sub stance, but differ in minute details. If an accident took place on the Castle hill, and four persons saw it, and came in and gave the jury their statements on the sub ject, they would agree in substance—in minute details they would differ. If that was so in an ordinary trans action, how much more when four or five wit nesses were called, and stated that an armed man ap peared in a dwelling after dark, when they were struck with fear—when they had received a shock which perhaps permanently unhinged their nervous system? It was not to be wondered that, under such terrible circumstances, in minuter details these four or five witnesses should disagree. The real question was, did they in substance agree the one with the other? He (Sergeant Byles) proposed to call the attention of the jury not to the evidence of two or three, but five, eye-witnesses of the transactions at Stanfield-hall. It was perfectly clear that the prisoner knew the house, that he was in the habit of coming in at the door with out rapping or ringing. He believed that at one time the prisoner occupied the house. It now appeared, also, that he had bought Stanfield-hall, and that it was ac tually his property for nearly two years. He begged the attention of the jury to the direct evidence which had been given as to the murders. He would be ex tremely short. He would brush away the chaff, and come to the corn and substance at once. The Learned Sergeant then proceeded to read in a very clear and im pressive manner the direct testimony given by Eliza Chestney, Watson, the footman; Margaret Reed, the cook; Blanch Flower, the nurserymaid; and Mrs. Jermy. Ho then in regular order directed the attention of the jury to all the leading facts of the case. He explained that the straw laid down on the way to the hall would be a guide to the prisoner in a dark night until he got either on the gravel or greensward. He pointed out the long and formidable circumstantial evidence affecting the prisoner. If ho was not the man, who else could be? The story he had told to-day bad never before been heard of. It was not mentioned before the magistrates. The prisoner—l had then no idea who it was, and had e men could not know the no b r u . s s in e e r s g s e t a o nt ac ß c y u L se Es a — ny T o b n e e. s intricate apartments of the Hall. But there were pa pers in the case.—written agreements, which purport , d to be signed by Lerner and Jermy, neither of whom had signed them, and the latter of whom could not even write. Joe, Dick, and the lawyer did not represent Jermy and Lerner, and the story of the prisoner was entirely without proof. Human affairs are so constituted that, looking back, no one could fit a false tale so as to fit the facts of the case. The prisoner said that the frock he wore on the night of the murder was hid in the yard. Why was this done? Then the wig and whisker* were left in the room with the cloak, while the boots and the frock were missing. As to the evidence given by the witness Howe, he did not think it altogether destitute of weight, though, if his Lordship told them to dismiss it from their consideration, they would do so; but he would refer them to the statements of the witness Bacon, to the letters and pamphlet of the prisoner expressing strong hostility to Mr. Jermy, and to the forged agreements witnessed by Emily Sandford. The,c documents would be produced with a greater chance of success if Mr. Jermy, his son, and his son's wife, wi re dead. He (Sergeant Byles) did not think that the pri soner intended to injure Eliza Chestney. He gave the butler a hint to get out of the way, which the other very prudently took. He had proved malice and motive. The fact of the murder was beyond dispute. There was no one to whom suspicion could, by possibility, attach except to the prisoner, for Jermy and Larner had both been produced before the jury and examined. The case, however, was before them, and he was quite satisfied that they would do their duty to the prisoner and their duty also to public justice and the Crown. The JUDGE (turning to the jury)—lf I have an mation from you, gentlemen, that you think your atten tbieofnories you t a b n e d r e that ul a n you g cannotbours of co nsider the t evening,he case must, at any inconvenience, adjourn.

It is detailed by a number of witnesses, and of the fact there he murdercame a by y Isaac his wJdeeriamethhy: to as show from th h a e t dPeeectiti took place, I shall call your attention to what each wit ness says on the subject. [The Learned Judge read in succession the evidence of Watson, Eliza Chestney, and Margaret Reed, the cook.] He then continued, —That is the account of the murder given by the three witnesses alluded to. It is confirmed by two pieces of evidence put in on the part of the pro s( cution. I allude to the depositions of Mrs. Jermy, one of the unfortunate sufferers, and of Maria Blanchflower, the nurserymaid. Therefore, you have now the account of five people, who were more or less witnesses of what took place. Again, the testi mony of Edward Harvey, the young man who was call ed ed early on Friday, is not unimportant. (The Learn Judge read the evidence.) The testimony of Heuer Holmes differs from that of Harvey, in this respect, that she did not see anything, and that when they got 145 yards they heard a sound like the slamming of a door, and that when 200 yards away the sound was repeated. I may say here, by way of a nticipation, it being certain that only four shots we re fired, that the difference of the witnesses prepares us f or what human ex p erience shows, that when people are giving an account of transaction* which excite them strongly, they never give the same account of them. This is admirably illustrated by the present case; and you, gentlemen, must not attribute) the least importnice to such discrepancies. God knows if a; 849. the servant's-ball; then from the back kitchen into the cooking-kitchen. Were you walking quick?—Yes, I went as fast as I could along. The JUDGE—Did you hear or sea any one in your way?—Yes, my Lard; I heard a person bustle along the passage. Could you tell who it was ?—lt was like a female, but I could not tell whether it was a girl or a woman. The JUDGE—What way was it going ?—Towards the servants'-hall, my Lord. Did you see anything or any one in the servants'- hall when you went there?—No. Did you look back when you got in the servants' hall door?—Yes. What did you see?—l saw a low stout man—no hat on. Did you stop to look at him at all?—No. The JUDG II —Where was he?—When I camp down the back stairs he was within about two feet of it; he kept near to the back staircase, but nearer to the side door. The JUDGE—You brushed by him?—Yes, my Lord. The JUDGE—And when you got to the aervants'-hall you saw him turn. The prisoner —My Lord, she did not say anything about turning at all . The JUDGE—I thought she said so. Witness—No, my Lord. The prisoner—Well, then, is it correct what you stated in your depositions, that you had not time to see it was any one whom you knew?—lt is. You did not see Reed at all?—No, _ _ Cross-examined by Mr. Sargean't BYLES—Did you observe the colour of the man's dress at all?—It was a dark dress. How long was it before the 28th that you went to Stan field-hall?—On the 4th of November previous. Then you had only been 24 days there? Did you know the prisoner at all; had you ever seen him?—No, never to my knowledge, sir. To the Learned JUDGE—When I saw him the man was coming towards the servants'•hall, straight on towards roe. Ido not know whether he had passed the door in the passage, or not. _ Solomon Savory was then called and examined by the prisoner. (He is a resolute-looking lad, and gave his answers with clearness.)—Now, Savory, I have to ask you a few questions about this business. The JUDGE—You must first get out what he is, and that he was in your service. The witness, on being examined by the prisoner, stated —I was living as servant with the prisoner's son, at Pot ash, at the time of the murder. I had been living there about three months before. There were at the time some old stacks of straw about. Several gateways and tracks had been littered over with straw about that time. I re member prisoner giving me a pair of boots to clean the day of' the murder. I recollect seeing those boots next day. There was a light pair, the sides of which were wet, except at where they had been next the fire. The light pair had been left at the fire that night. Prisoner—l have heard a great deal about a wedge, but Witherford is not called to prove it. If he had been I could have shown the evidence was got up. The JUDGE—What wedge are you talking about? It is the first time I ever heard it mentioned. Prisoner — No matter, my Lord. How often were you examined before the magistrates? —Three times. Have you been confined in Bridewell at all.—Yes, Sir. How long were you confined in consequence of the evidence you gave?—Six days in all. What reason did the magistrates give for confining you?—They did not say, sir. The JUDGE—You cannot go into this. He was not there for any crime, but on account of his evidence. Did you sit up at all at the commencement of the sea son to watch the farm ?—I did one night, my Lord. Did you know I suspected the game was brushed off the farm at night? The JUDGE—You cannot ask that question. You must ask him it you ever did anything—such as giving direc tions about the game. Did I ever set you to watch ?—Yes. Did you ever see any one on: the farm poaching? — Yea, I saw a man, and I thought that was what he was after. I saw a man put a dog over on the lands, too, and told Mr. Rush of it. I remember some barley straw being stacked about the time. The cook had left Potash about a week before the murders on account of illness. The prisoner then put a great many questions as to the positions of the farm and its boundaries, which could not be rendered at all intelligible to the public. The JUDGE —When you were asked before the ma gistrates what was the latest time you saw the prisoner that day you said it was between seven and half-past seven &clock? Was that the case?—Yes, my Lord. Prisoner—Will you swear it was about eight o'clock when you saw me?—No, sir. The JUDGE —What do you mean by that?—l swear it was not eight o'clock, my Lord. Prisoner—Did you not swear— The JUDGE—No, you cannot ask a question in that way. You are examining now your own witness to the truth. Prisoner—Do you not contradict your evidence? Who told you to do so? Contradict, sir? No. The JUDGE No, I tell you you cannot ask such questions; yon are tendering this man as the witness of the truth, and as ono whom we are to believe. Prisoner—Who told you to make alterations in the time you spoke about? No; who told you to make any alterations in your statement, and speak different from what you did at first?—l don't know I did make any alterations. The JUDGE—Really I cannot allow this. Prisoner—When I spoke to you at the back door had I my indoor dress on?—Yes, sir; it was about seven or half-past seven o'clock. To the JUDGE—The prisoner gave me his light boots to clean about five or halt-past five o'clock, but I don't clearly recollect, and I washed them. The prisoner again asked the witness some questions as to discrepancies in his depositions, which the Learned Judge would not allow to be answered, considering them quite irrelevant. At the request of the prisoner, a lapse of 10 minutes was allowed, and on the return of the judge, jury, and prisoner to court, William Frederick Howe was recalled and placed in the witness-box, but before he was examined The JUDGE said—We consider you have no right to this privilege, but I shall allow you to ask him a few questions. Prisoner—My Lord, certain parties whom I never saw wrote me word about this witness, and I want to ask him if what they say of him is true. The JUDGE—You may ask him if he ever said or I made use of certain expressions which have a bearing on the case, but you cannot go into matters not in evidence. Prisoner—lf lum not allowed to ask him questions I think important what is the use of it at all? How could 1 know what evidence he would give till I heard him— he never was produced till the last moment? There is no use iu it. The JUDGE—WeII, take your own course about that. Every witness does not come prepared to answer all the questions about himself you like to ask him. Prisoner—Well, I believe I will ask him a few ques tions. William Howe, do you know John Lincoln—No, I don't. George Blean 2—No. James Barkey ?—No, I never heard of him. Nor of Mr. J. R. Smith ?—No. Nor of Frederick Grey?—No. I never heard of his name to my knowledge. The JUDGE—Have you never stated you would go to Norwich and swear one side or the other for 20L? Wit ness—Never, to my knowledge. The JUDGE—Never to your knowledge ? Could you have said such a thing without knowing it? Did you ever say such a thing ? Witness—Mr. Hyde told me I did so, but I never did. Some people were talk ing about it, and it was said in a joke that a, man might get 1001. for coming down, but I did not say it. Prisoner—Did you ever say anything about getting money for it?—l never expected any money. I have received none. I have never mentioned anything about it. Indeed I could produce my surgeon to show I was most anxious to avoid coming d'iwn, but that he did not think me ill enough to give me a certificate. Prisoner—Oh, then, you felt some compunction at coming down?—l did not wish to come down. lam perfectly a stranger in the place. It was against the wish of my friends I came. The JUDGE.-The witness denies he ever said any thing to the effect that he would come down and swear one side or another for 201. Witness—l deny that I ever said such a thing. I was told by a witness I said so, but I deny it. The JUDGE—Now call your witness., Arthur Hyde was then placed in the witness-box and examined by The JUDGE—Did you ever hear William Frederick Howe say he would come down to Norwich and swear at either side for 201., or anything of that sort ?—I did, my Lord. Prisoner—Well, I don't know I have anything else to ask you. The JUDGE—You cannot ask the witness something which the else unless you wish to ask him . anything other witnesses stated be never said . Prisoner—No, my Lord. I have got quite enough for what I want. The witness was then subjected oi.to anda searching state d h e crosslived at_ IS, James street, N ew. at the top of Baker-street, but had his office as ac countant at 39, Lamb' s Conduit street. The Prst time he had even see n H owe was on 4th of December last, when the latte r use d t h e ex th re esson His name wa s no t on the door, p ii n question. but there was an office-bell; he paid 254 a-year rent for the first floor as offices, and had been in occupation since the Christmas before last. Would swear he kept s clerk; the clerk's name was Williamson. Witness beside keeping books and accounts was an estate-agent. He managed the estate of Laxton, in Shropshire; it was a brewer's. He went to the Wheatsheaf, because there was an Elocution Society there. He was chairman of the society on the 4th of December. Before he became an accountant he had been a publican. Had never kept a coffee-shop, but had the lease of a house in which a coffee-shop was kept. Had been once in the police of London, but had resigned. Originally had come from Ireland. When Howe used the words in question they were all joking and laughing in the coffee-room of the Wheatsheaf. They all treated what ho said as a joke. Witness said that the assertion made by Howe was very serious. ~ r
