The father then looked out of the window, and asked me what I wanted—what I had to say ? I told him I bad a message from Watson to his wife, a n d w i s h e d t o see h er. He told me to say what I wanted. I then replied I want to give Mrs. Watson a letter, but I'll call again in the morning, and fear ing t hat an alarm might be communicated to the other houses, in Victoria-terrrce, we, that is Bickerston and myself, watched the house. Soon after I went towards the Victoria-terrace, and met Scotney coming towards me. The distance is about 100 yards. I met Scotney at twenty minutes past one. James Hocker, the brother, was a few yards behind him, but not in custody. The prisoner had on slippers, and he wished to change them for a pair of boots. Ido not know whether a'ou have got down about a watch duplicate and a number of letters produced by Scotney. I returned them to 11, Vic toria-terrace with the others. Coma:mat—Who knocked? James Hocker—l did, Sir. Witness—Hoeker knocked, and the father opened the window. He could see us all about the door. I do not re collect that lie spoke. He threw the key out of the room. I went up stairs to the room with Scotney and the two pri soners. A light was struck by the father in the same room that I afterwards visited with Shackell. The mother came out of bed also. There is only one room, and the bed is there. I said to the father, " It is unnecessary that I tell you what your son is in custody for." I told them afterwards the charge for which" he was in custody was on suspicion of murdering Delarue. The father seemed to be alarmed and fainted, but no remark was made by any one. I was but a very short time there. Ido not recollect that anything was said. Thomas Hocker—No remark was made. Witness--I examined everything there. but found nothing. I did not examine the cupboard, nor did I s3e the macintosh. I looked for weapons merely. I (lid not open the cupboard. I then returned to Victoria-terrace with the two prisoners and Scotney. I found there a number of letters in a table-drawer. Searched different parts of the room, then locked the room up, and came away. The letters do not relate in any way to this inquiry. I have examined the while of them. I then took the prisoner Thomas to Hampstead. James accom panied us a part of the way, and I** vallaequellee of my saying that "he might go if he laktd, butt a 7 Ithld no communication with his brother if he did, and he had better come next morning." He then left. No conversation took place between them ; for one was on my right hand, and the other on the left. I had no hold of Thomas Hocker. He had no handcuffs on, and was under no restraint, but Sergeant Bickerston end Scotney were in the rear close to him. On the same afternoon I told Inspec tors Shackell and llaynes, and we went first to Victoria-ter race. We searched the room in which were two cupboards. In the right-hand cupboard I found the shirt wristband, with a portion of the shirt attached to it. It could only be found on minutely examining the cupboard. I did not search it on the first occasion. In another cupboard I found the shoemaker's pincers. (They were handed in.) No marks o blood are on them. They were lying openly on a shill, and no effi)rt at concealment seemed to be made. The spots o rust that. are observed now were there when I first saw them. From Victoria-terrace we went to No. 17, Charles street, and we found among other things a pair of trousers.- They were on a sofa bed. They were marked with blood at the bottom, and on the left knee. (The trousers were handed to the Coroner.) They were not concealed in any way. I was informed by the father that they were his son Thomas's, and were last worn by him on Friday evening. I produce also a waistcoat belonging to Thomas, and which I under stood from the father and mother was worn on the same night. There is a small spot of blood on the left side. (The waistcoat was also handed round the table.) I also found some note paper and wafers, which correspond with the letter put in. The wafers are marked F.; also found a bottle of blue in.k. The mother remarked that " That was the ink Thomas, poor fellow, used to write with." I have omitted to state that I found a so vereign at his father's lodgings. I producethe watch handed me by Scotney. Inspector Shackell—That is the sovereign offered by the father, which I did not take at the time. _ _ the name of any person who had been with him. He spoke of kis brother James, and of a young lady he was acquain ted with. He did not speak of leaving London for a short time. He made an appointment to meet me on Monday or Tuesday. He said he should either go to Dulwich on Saturday or on the Tuesday. He did not appear either excited or confused on the Friday. She bad not seen him with the watch or ring beforo Friday. I have never been called " Caroline" by him, I never heard him mention the name. He had never come so late as that hour before. I have known him fir some ten or eleven weeks. I never saw him with a large stick in his hand. more than I expected." I rose in the morning and went off, and he came over to Charles street, and began to dispose of his money by giving father some and mother some. He was in their debt, as he had been out of work. That day passed over without any allusion to Mr. Delarue. At night Mr. Watson was invited up •, we were all in high spirits at the idea of having so kind a friend, who had enabled us to liquidate a few debts. Mr. Watson's statement is per fectly correct, with this trifling difference, that I said also, "that murder was a gloomy subject, and ont of place then." I saw, when going to bed, the watch that has been identified as the property of Delarue. He said, " You see it'sgoing." He some time ago pledged a watch for Mr. Delarue for 31. and I thought that was it. I read in the newspapers on Sunday of the murder, and then thought it was Delarue. I could not sleep that night, for I was so excited, and my brother said to me " What's the matter," but I did not tell him then. At four in the morning I told him, and he said " Who is it ?" I told him I thought it was Delarue, and he turned very pale, and said I must get up, but you must get me a pair of old boots. I Went over to Charles-street, and when I returned I could see that he had been crying, as I was myself. We then went over to Charles-street, and my mother said the body has been owned by his brother. Thomas then said, there would be no utility in his going to see the body, as he could give no clue to the murderers. The witness then verified the constable Scotney's evidence as to the proceedings in taking the prisoner into custody. (The letters were shown to the witness, and he said that it might be the handwriting of his brother, but it was not his usual style of writing.) I have heard him speak of "Caroline," and say the poor devil, meaning Delarue, was embarrassed. I know of no one going with him on Friday night to Mrs. Edwards's. Ido not know the Cocks, or where they live. My brother often met Delarue at the corner of henry-street, Portland-town, usually of a morning. About seven months ago he gave my brother 51. I heard from my brother that Delarue had been robbed of a gold watch-chain and ten sovereigns The Provisional Committee of the Paris and Lyons Railway Com pany beg to state, for the information of their Proprietors, and in re ply to numerous inquiries, that the only LINE OF RAILWAY to Lyons is that adopted by the Government, for the working of which this Company has been, for more than two years, in a position to tender.

The Conosmn—Asked the inspectors if they knew -any thing that reflected upon the character of James Hocker? and was answered in the negative. William Watson examined—l am a baker, residing at Windmill-place, Tuniliam-green. I know Thomas Henry Hocker, who was a teacher in a school. His parents lodge wilt me at 17, Charles-street, Portland-town. My family reside. there. Thomas Henry Hocker did not live there. The last time I saw him was on Saturday evening. I was asked up into his father's room about eleven on that evening I went up and found the parents and Thos. Henry Hocker. Shortly after James came in Thomas exhibited to me a pair of boots he had bought. I had coffee, and while I was drinking it I mentioned the murder at Hampstead. The poor father said, " God bless me, how did it happen ?" I .said " I believe they knocked him on the head till his brains protruded." Thomas 'locker said " Don't let us talk of that—let's speak of some thing else." He then sang a song. Afterwards, having a glass of rum, Thomas said, " We don't always do it this way." I said I was glad to see the family so happy, enjoying them selves. Thomas then showed me the wristband of his shirt and the bottom of his coat, and showed me the shirt torn. I said they gave you some rough usage. The father said, it is curious that you can't tell what you have been doing. He said that he was only romping with some girls. When James came in hesaid, "Dear me, there has been a gen tleman murdered, and a letter found in his possession." There was nothing said to that, and, the clock striking twelve, I went down stairs. I gave information to the police, in con sequence of a conviction of mine that I knew who the mur dereagesaltoniart was. - -wens on Tuesday.ilaving a convic tion on my mind that Thomas Nocicer had murdered Delarne, who was his intimate acquaintance, to the parlour of the public-house, and was reading the paper when Ser geant Scottie) , came to the Prince of Wales, and sent for me. He had heard what I had said from Mr. I3attersbv. (The witness referred to a conversation in the parlour of the public house, but not being evidence, was not received in Court.) I gave him the residence of ocker, at 11, Victoria-terrace, and also at 17, Charles-street. The prisoners have been in the habitof taking their meals in my house. lam only now at home on Saturday evenings. I know nothing further. My wife is not here. She was at home on Fi iday evening, but was out from the hours of seven to eight. I never saw Thomas locker with a ring or watch. I have seen him with a heavy yellow stick, but not for some time. I have never seen Delarue at my house. I have seen him, I think, twice in my life. I know nothing concerning any o.'er person implicated in this murder. I was in the habit of seeing a great deal of Thomas and James locker. My suspicions are entirely directed against Thomas. I believe James as innocent as the child unborn. Not one of . the Honker family asked me to withold any information from the pollee: I gaa - e information to Scotney at twenty minutes before eight, and, in less than five minutes, he proceeded in a "bus" to London. The prisoners had no questions to ask this witness, and the jury were, at their own request, permitted to retire for ten minutes. " By Miss F. " James Cooper, Hampstead•road." FUNERAL OF MR. DELARUE. At an early hour on Sunday the body of the murdered man was removed in the coffin from the small cottage in which it has lain since the night the deed was perpetrated, into the parlour of the Yorkshire Grey ; and all the arrang emen t s , under the care of Mr. Neal an Sons, having been com pleted, at ten minutes before ten the mournful procession started for the old church in the following order :—Mr. Inspector Gray, and six constables of the S division ; Mr. Neal and two mutes, with their staves ; the body of Mi James Delarue, borne by four young men, and a police man on either side. Mr. Daniel Delarue, the brother of the deceased, followed next to the corpse as chief mourner, and throughout the progress to the church, and during the service he appeared deeply affected. He was sill ported by the deceased's late landlord, Mr. Kitchener. The other mourners were four in number, consisting of Mi. James Kitchener, the brother of the last-mentioned person, and Mr. W. Teller, Mr. Frederick Teller, and Mr. John Telfer, personal friends of the deceased. On the arrival of the body at the entrance to the new bu rial ground attached to the old church the procession was met by the Rev. W. Ainger, Vicar of llampstead, and one of his curates, the Rev. Mr. Faulkner, and it was preceded by those gentlemen to the third ground, where a new grave, ten feet deep, had been dug for the body. The coffin of the de.: ceased, which was covered with black cloth, studded with black nails, bore on it a plate with the following inscription Mr. James Delarue, died 21st February, 1845, aged thirty-three years." It may be mentioned that police-constable Baldock, who first discovered deceased's body, also followed the corpse to the churchyard, immediately after the mourners. The brother of the deceased left Hampstead shortly after the funeral, accompanied by his friends, for London ; and as soon as the Yorkshire Grey was once opened, it became utterly impossible to close it, in consequence of the crowds of persons which kept continually go:king in. The large spate in front also presented the appearance of a fair. During the day, it is estimated that there could not have been fowerthan twenty thousand persons visiting the scene of the murder. oL oability f isted tbeY was that If it °s e en let it 1 2 11 to wai t r g ' went w 7; ;) thouV t i on of the_ the !O tter contritric Mr. 0Ogg ) ;, it, and , L ' c 'a again ErER PRESERVER FIRE, LIFE, AND FAMILY ENDOWMENT OFFICE, BOND-COURT HOUSE, WALBROOR.

Iti r /3' After the jurymen had re-assembled, the father, wno ap peared very much afflicted, was brought in. The prisoner's fortitude again forsook him, and a second time during the pro ceedings he wept unrestrainedly. Thos. Hocker, of Charles-street, Portland-town, sworn—l am a ladies' shoemaker. I never saw Delarue, but have heard his name mentioned by my son Thomas perhaps fifty times. I had a misgiving of the person who had caused the murder when my son told me that he had taken a watch out of pledge. He told me so on Saturday evening, while we were walking from our house to Marylebone-lane: I saw the watch again on Sunday, when he said he had taken it out of pledge. I was present when my son came to get a pair of boots on the morning when he was taken into custody. (The trousers and waistcoat were shown to the witness.) To the best of my belief these are my son's. This ring I found on Friday last, and gave to the officers. I found it amongst the cuttings of the leather for burning. I was taking a hand ful to burn, when I found the ring amongst them. The cut tings were rolled together on the floor beneath one of the windows. I had never seen the ring before. I never had heard of the ring before. Thomas left his home at half past six or a quarter to seven o'clock on the Friday week. He had dined and taken tea at home, with his mother, myself, and brother. We took tea about four, and after that he was occupied in reading and a con versation with us. Ido not recollect that he took anything with him. It must have been fully half-past six when he left. James was working until twenty minutes after eight that night, then he changed his clothes and washed himself before he left the house. That would take him twenty minutes longer. The brothers hardly ever went together. Thomas was in the habit of using a very large stick which he said he had lost three weeks ago. Ile had brought it from Sheffield some two years before that time. My son had no watch or ring before last week. He bad not worn a ring before I found that among the cuttings. He represented to me for some time back that some kind friend was going to lend him some money, and he told me that he had received a note from Mrs. Edwards, stating that she would lend him some money on Sunday night, but lie said he should go on Friday night, and he hoped lie should get it. I said she must be a great friend to lend a stranger ten pounds. I never knew Mrs. Edwards before this affair. Before he went out he said that if he were successful in getting the money, he would return home earlier. I saw him again on Saturday morning at ten o'clock. That was his usual hour of coming to breakfast. He seemed, as usual, cheerful, and after he came into the room he pulled money out of his pocket. I understood he had got 12 guineas, and I congratulated him, and said, " I hope you'll be careful with it." On that night, going to Marylebone-lane, he said he had got a watch out of pledge; I said, better keep your money in your pockets, or it will slip through your fingers.

I afterwards accompanied the Inspectors to the father's, and, from what I saw and heard there, I was induced to go to Clerkenwell prison, where prisoner was confined. Mr. Kilsby, the go vernor, at my request, sent for Thomas Hocker, and I de sired him to pull off his body coat, which I produce.

LATE MURDER AT HAMPSTEAD. ADJOURNED CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday the Coroner, the Deputy Coroner, and the jurymen impanelled to inquire into the atrocious murder of James Delarue, met at the Yorkshire Grey, Hampstead. The crowd, which had been gradually increasing from a very early hour, was, at half-past nine, the time of meeting, most dense, and the confusion was worse confounded, in conse quence of the mode in which the Coroner's orders, that no strangers should be admitted until the Court had been for. mally opened, had been carried into effect. Considerable chagrin was excited in'tbe unsuccessful applicants for admis sion, by observing that to the few, favoured by local import ance, an aristocratic name, or an acquaintance with the In spector, the door was at once opened. The prisoners were both in attendance, and the principal prisoner, in whom the interest is concentrated, seemed the most cool person present. The elite of the neighbourhood, were, as usual, in attendance. Column—And not examined? Witness—No. The blood is principally on the left knee of the drawers, and on the left knee of the trousers. I examined his person, but found no mark upon him. (The trousers and drawers were produced, and they were much stained with blood. The coat was also exhibited, and the right-hand cuff was stained, as were the inside of the pockets, and the outside.) CORONER—Who had charge of the prisoner at the police court, that the coat was not examined? Witness..-Inspector Partridge and Scotney took him into custody. You will perceive, Sir, that there are two buttons torn off here, and the button I produce exactly matches. There has been evidently an attempt to wash out the blood upon the wrist and drawers. I have nothing further to state. The prisoners had no question to ask of the witness. Inspector Gray examined. Inspector Haynes—l3efore Mr. Gray is examined, I may state that the prisoner's coat is torn, but the mother accounts for it by saying that he had had a lark with a girl. Inspector Gray—At ten minutes past eight on the night of the 21st February I received an intimation from Sergeant Fletcher that a murder had been committed in the Haver stock-fields. Fletcher stated that he had left police-constable Baldock with the body. I immediately procured some men, and directed that the body should be conveyed to the York shire Grey. The men were sent to Bellsize-lane, or the adjoining field. I sent for the surgeon. The pockets of the deceased were examined when the body was lying on the stretcher. I have nothing to add to the constable Baldock's evidence. The note was found in his outer pocket. A button was handed to me, next day, in the fields by a police-constable. It had been found at the distance of two yards from where the body had been lying. I have compared the button found with those on the prisoner's coat, and it corresponds. I found writing in the deceased 's lodgings which resembled the note found in his pocket. and also the letters found with the prisoner. Police-constable Thomas, 53 S, stationed at Hampstead— On the 22d February, I went to search Haverstock-fields, where the murder was committed. I went at seven in the morning, and found at that time a button within a yard of the blood that lay on the ground. I gave it to Inspector Gray. I found nothing else. (..;everal papers were handed in, found at the lodgings of Delarue. They were evidently copies for teaching writing in six lessons.) " The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in herent privileges of mankind, arc frequently marred and prevented through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions.

I have taken no person into custody for the murder, but I saw two in custody for that crime on Wed nesday, the 26th. The circumstances having been com municated to me, I went to the place, and found that a murder and robbery had been committed. I went after wards with Inspectors Haynes and Partridge, to 55, Whit tlebury-street, Euston-square, on Sunday. I examined the premises, the drawers, &c., and in a drawer, among many obscene prints and books, found a roll of paper; among these found the " bill" for a watch, giving a description of it. It ran thus : "Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere routine practitioner would never dream of finding them; traceable to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefield Journal.

My son, Thomas, said, " Don't talk more about that. It's a gloomy subject." He showed his shirt sleeve to Watson and us, but I saw no blood. Thomas was very intimate with Delarue, but I never saw him in my life. —(The letters so often mentioned were exhibited to Witness.) I know writing greatly like this (then bursting into tears)—l believe it to be my son Tho mas's writing. I never saw letters addressed to "James Cooper, Esq , Hampstead-road." Mrs. Watson was at home nearly the whole of the Friday evening. I have heard my son call Delarue Cooper, and afterwards he has told me that his name was Delarue, and not Cooper. I ex, pressed my suspicion that any respectable man should deny his name, or use another; and he accounted for it by saying he was somewhat eccentric. I believe my son was acquainted with him for three years. The CORONER—You say he never visited you himself ? Witness (emphatically)=He never did. The CORONER to prisoner—ls there any question you wish me to ask your father? The prisoner—Everything my father has said is quite true. I have nothing to add. Richard Greenfield said he was u waiter, at the Swiss Cottage, and on the evening of the murder a person came in about half-past seven o'clock, and called for a glass of rum and water. I have looked at the prisoner, but he is not the person. Mary Ffrench, 31, Princes-street, Portman-market. My husband is driver of an omnibus. Ido not know Thomas Henry Ilocker. 1 only know his brother James. He was in my shop (a cigar shop) about nine o'clock. He said then that he had come from his work. He said on Sunday evening when he came again that from the letters found on the murdered man, it must be De lame, but he would not tell his brother that evening, for fear it should disturb him, " as poor Tom's feelings would be so hurt." He said further, he knew it was him, by the identical D on his linen, and by his going by the name of Cooper. The next night, after Thomas was taken into custody, he slept at my house. He did not tell me to deny to the police that he had slept there. It appears that the fire was first found to be burning In the rope. walk at the rear of the factory, but how it originated is not at present known. As alarm was soon spread, and notwithstanding the secluded situation of the premises, assistance in a very chart time arrived. A fire engine was kept on the premises, and this was got to work without loss of time. Mr. Fisher, the high. constable of the Hundred of Blackheath, was at the scene of de. struction very shortly after the outbreak, with two parish-engines and an adequate complement of men. Next came the engine from the Deptford Dockyard, which Sir J. Hill, the Superintendent, or. dered out as soon as the news of the fire was communicated to him, and, with a body of the dock police, under the direction of Inspector Field, it was in a short time got to be of effective service. A body of the Royal Marines (150 in number) was also present, under the command of Lieutenants Forbes and Varlow. and by their working at the engines, and other valuable service, they were to a great degree instrumental in stopping the further destruc. tion of property. The factory was a strong brick building of about 140 feet long by 40 feet deep, facing the river, nearly opposite Blackwall-stairs. This range included the dwelling-house of Mr. C. Enderley at the east end, the contents of which were nearly all destroyed. The entire of the range of premises forming the manufactory, !mend ing the dwelling.house and the greater portion of the rope -walk sheds at the rear, are all down. iill•6iltlb,.,-, - • • ....... ..... ..... ... ...... ..... •• • . 0 13 6 ',l,,mterC.4eA, Athols Peltoes, and every description of Li tt li,i,+°M,liandsom ' 1 trimmed tilttt,4tilvi,lerelrits, in every style• ••••••••• • • • • • • .. .... 0 4 6 e t , ' ;': kis. • . . o . u . s . e . rs . : lined " ........... ::::: :: iiii k 4iti st '' edged.

For this purpose Inspectors Douglas and Miller, of the It division, ordered a,strong body of men under their charge to make an opening in the shed, in order to stop the progress of the flames. This order was speedily obeyed, with the assistance of others present, and the consequence was, that not only wai the fire stopped in its progress towards a tar-warehouse, but a very large quantity of flax was saved from the flames. ...... ......... - - - - ........ 1 8 0 1, , t o • '" ........ ........ . . x , a ny extent can be had at five minutes' notice, at the iji gaits, _, following trousersfrom 1 18 0 j ki , ;. d es coat, vest, and ••••• • • • • • % tti l :kl4;;; c4 et. vest and trousers .................Itemm 0 18 0 •. 0 1). it ked ' - ' 4,11 Y article purchased or ordered, if not approved of, , 2 ,or th in 44t.

" Jno. Curtis, Esq., " May 28th, 1844. " To H. Finer, 48, High Holborn, " 1 watch, &c -X7 7s. " May 28, by cash £7 7a." I took the necessary steps, and on Wednesday morning was shown the watch. The watch was shown me by Inspector Partridge, at the Police-court, Marylebone. After the exa. mination had been finished before Mr. Bawlinson, I pro ceeded in company.with inspectors Haynes and Partridge, to No.ll, Victoria-terrace, Portland-town, to a small back room, which was the lodging of Thomas Henry and James Hocker. I did know either of the prisoners. I examined the place, and found an old flock bed, and the room in a miserable con dition ; a quantity of letters and papers, and two obscene prints. Saw Mr:Partridge find in the same room, in a cupboard, the wristband of the right arm and part of the sleeve of a shirt covered with blood. Saw Mr. Haynes find a button, which he took charge of. It appeared to be off a coat, and was a silk button. The room was then locked, and I proceeded to the father's residence, situate at No. 17, Charles-street, Portland- town, the front loom, first floor. That was on Wednesday afternoon. I told him who and what I was I then asked him if he knew the position in which his son Thomas was placed? He said, Alas ! I do. I asked him to give me the clothes which his son had left. But, before that, I asked if he had seen his son James? and he said he had just left. The CORONER—What time Was that? Witness— Scarcely three o'clock. I asked for the clothes, at the same time picking up a macintosh. I said, is this your son Thomas's macintosh ? He said " yes." Seeing that it was stained with blood and mud, both back and front, I asked him when he had worn this last? He said he had gone out with it on Friday night last, at seven o'clock. (The macintosh was pro duced, and was in the state described by witness.) The CORONER—Did you ask when he returned? Witness He did not again see him till Saturday morning. (The mac intosh was passed round to the jury.) It was lying on a sofa quite openly. No attempt was made to conceal it. I then asked for the body clothes. There were in the room the father, Inspectors Haynes, Partridge, and myself. I then asked for his linen, which the mother gave me, and said he had worn the shirt on Saturday morning. The wristband and part of the sleeve was torn off, as it is now. The DEPUTY CORONET.—Off which arm? Witness—Off the right arm. I examined it, and found on the left wrist band blood, and comparing the shirt with the sleeve, found a mending in the sleeve exactly correspond. (The sleeve and wristband were passed up the table.) The shirt was taken out of a cupboard. It was lying with other linen. The mother herself selected it, and said this was the shirt pulled off by him. I asked for the stockings. Th •'v were brought, and found to be stained with blood. I compf red them with the drawers and trousers, and found the man.% of !blood to correspond in all. I told the father I shoula convey the things away, and he said, "It is only what I expected." As I was going down he called me back, and told me, " My son Thomas told me that he had borrowed 121. of Mrs. Edwards, No. 6, Bath-place, New-road, but I am afraid it is not true." He said I had better go there to ascertain the truth of it. He had got a sovereign, and be would in that case give it up to me. I inquired of him before I left whether his son had taken a stick with him on Friday night. He said " Yes. This is the stick he took with him," producing a black ebony one. (The stick was produced). It was standing in a corner of the room. I then went to Mrs. Edwards and found that it was not true that she bad lent the prisoner any money. I told her the circumstances and she gave me the letters which I produce. CORONER—This stick is cracked at the head. Did you mention that to the father ? Witness—Yes. He knew nothing about it. I received two letters which Mrs. Ed. wards received from the prisoner, and compared them with the letter in the possession of Inspector Gray. They are signed " J. H. Hocker, Hampstead-road." (The letters were shown to the Coroner.) The paper and everything corre• sponds with the letter signed " Caroline." Amongst the papers and letters found at prisoner's lodgings I found a letter from Mrs. Edwards in answer to one of them. The CORONER—That is of no consequence. Witness— That is the whole of my evidence. There is no allusion to " Caroline," but there is allusion to a young lady named Jane Phipps, under the protection of Mrs. Edwards, with whom the prisoner kept company. The CORONER (to the prisoner Thomas)—Have you any question to ask the witness ? Prisoner—None, Sir. Inspector Pnrtridge was next examined—l received in formation from Sergeant Scotney, and the prisoner was brought to me by him on the night of his apprehension. I went from Gardener's-lane in company with Sergeants Scot.. v ne and Bickerston t o th e f at h er ' s h ouse i n the rst instance. That was on the Tuesday night. I went with the two ser geants in a cab to Portland-town. I was told that Watson's wife could give important information, and that induced me to go to Watson's house first, at. 17, Charles-street. I en deavoured to see Watson's wife, but she had been in bed for two hours. I. knocked at the glass of Mrs. Watson's win dow. I am now speaking of the residence of the father. The man Watson gave information to Sergeant Scotnev in the first instance. At last Mrs. Watson spoke, and I endea voured to make her open the door, but she would not, say ing, "Tell mewhat you have got to say." She became alarmed, CORONER—What time was this ? Witness—At half-past one on the last day of examination, at the Police- court. Thomas told his brother to fetch him a pair of drawers and a pair of boots. I mentioned to the parents that Thomas had spoken of proving an alibi, but they said, " No, Mr. Shackell, he left his home at seven, and did not return till Saturday morning." The distance from the prisoners' lodgings to the- Bellsize field is about ten minutes' walk. Mrs. Jane Edwards was in such a fainting state that she was accommodated with a chair, and the evidence was given through the medium of one of the inspectors. She lived at „Pack-place. Knew the prisoner, Thomas Henry locker. and these three letters He had never applied to her for money, and she had not lent him any. Knew his handwriting, were in his handwriting. The note found in the deceased's pocket was shown, and was also stated to be like his hand writing: She saw the prisoner on the Monday after the murder, at her house, and he had then a watch. She never had seen him with one before. There was a brilliant on his hand on the same evening. She had net seen it before. The ConoNF.n—Was Delarue in the habit of wearing only one ring? Inspector Shackell—Only one, Sir. Witness's examinatiou_centinued—l have known him (;he Mpisoner) for about fifteen weeks. I last saw him before that onday on the Tuesday previous. I positively lent him no money. The prisoner had a guard, either gold or imitation, round his neck on the Monday evening. Sarah Jane Phipps was next examined, a young and very prettj , girl—l reside with last witness at Bath-place. I am of no profession or occupation I lest saw Thomas Henry locker on Monday night last, about eleven o'clock. I went with Lim to No. 15, Portland-place. Sir Oswald Moseley re sides there. The prisoner left me there. I slept at Sir Os wald Moseley's. I saw him before that on the Tuesday pre vious. Thomas locker showed me a watch on Monday even ing, and he told me he had bought it. He did say where, but I forget the name. It had a chain. I cannot say whether it was gold or silver, but it was the colour of gold. I should know the watch. Three or four watches were shown to her, and the witness pointed out the watch belonging to the de ceased. The poor girl could scarcely give her evidence, and the prisoner, for the first time during the proceedings, exhi bited some emotion by concealing his face within his hands, nd crying. Examination continued — She saw him with a ring and watch before. Mrs. Edwards—l am d eceiv ed. The CORONER ordered M r s. Edwards to be removed. The witness—l've deceived the Coroner. I saw him on Friday night. Examination continued — l saw the prisoner on Friday, the 21st, at ten minutes past n i ne. I saw him at Portland- place, at Sir Oswald Al os eley's. He saw me i n t h e h ousekeeper ' s room there, in the presence of Mrs. Maria Edwards, sister-in law of the previous witness. I expected him there, but at no particular hour. He was with me till about eleven o'clock or past it. He then left the house alone. During the time he was with me he showed me a watch and ring. (The ring was shown to her.) The ring henheadsabiodu, g ‘ ii r t r t h l e ie r m i - n a g tch that day. He did is too large for my ii is n t g h e e r. o ” ne l l e s s a a w id . not say when he became possessed of the ring. He was dressed on that evening in a black coat and trousers, and a macintosh. He had no new clothes at that time. The mac intosh I should know if I saw it. It was a dark one. I did not see any blood upon his person; but he said there was blood on the front of his shirt, for his governor cut his nose in play. I understood him to mean his employer, and that his employer had made his (Thos.Hocker's) nose bleed. He came in with the macintosh on his arm, and he kept it off. (The macintosh was shown to the witness, who, ex tremely affected, said "Oh, that is the macintosh.") Saw some dirt, but no blood on it. He said he had just come from Grafton-street. He did not show me any weapon, and I don't think he had a stick with Lim. He never mentioned the name of Delarue, nor that of Cooper, to me. (The letters T;le did not meatioa were shown her.) That was li f e writing, Abraham Austin—Lodges with last witness. I saw James Hocker last Friday week, about nine o'clock, in Mrs. Ffrench's ; then he went out with her daughter, and I again saw him about ten o'clock. I saw him going along Elm bank on his way home. He was there again on Sunday from about eleven to one o'clock, and was set to read the paper. He read about the police and about the murder, and when he read that the linen was marked " I)," and that a letter was found addressed " Cooper," he said, " I should not wonder if this was Delarue," and that he was a particular friend of his brother's. The conversation then broke off. I saw him again that evening, but we did not mention the name of Delarue or Cooper. Charlotte Ffrench—l saw James Hocker on Friday even ing at nine, and he remained till nearly eleven. I showed him the paper on Sunday, and he said about the person mur dered that he thought it was Delarue, but he would not tell his brother Tom. Philip Stevens, police-constable, 200 S said, that a state ment was made by James Hocker on the way to the sta tion• house in Salisbury-street, Portman-market. Inspector Greg was behind. James Hocker said, "My brother came home to No. 11, Victoria -terrace, on Friday-night (the 21st ult.) I don't know exactly what time he came home. I was in bed, and he said, James, I have been having a bit of a lark, I have been to see Sarah Cocks. I've been very successful, and obtained the money from the persi,n that promised me the loan of some," and he mentioned Mrs. Edwards, Bath-place, New road, and be showed me ten or eleven sovereigns. He asked if I thou,ght they would take the evidence of a father, mother, or brother. I said I di'l not know whether they would take the evidence of them. He said, " I'm sorry, I don't think he can bring any one else to show when he left his house." I took James Hocker into custody in Marylebone Theatre. Police-sergeant Scotney was called in, and repeated the evidence given by him on the former occasion. Daniel Delarue identified the watch and ring as his late brother's property. He was not aware why he should be called Cooper, or Curteis. The brother, James Hocker, was discharged from custody, and then examined as a witness.—The prisoner is my brother, and 'sleep at 11, Victoria-terrace, but have my meals at 17, Charles-street. I took tea at home on Friday evening, and my brother then handed me a slate, on which was written, " Jem, I received a note from Mrs. Edward this morning, stating that ten sovereigns will be at my disposal this eve ning,'. and he then added that he would be at home in toler able time. He left not later than seven. It was quite dark. I did not see that ,he took any stick with him. He came home between two and three o'clock, and the noise he made on coming into the room awoke me. He said, " Well, Jem, I've been successful ; I've got the money that I so long expected." He then took oil hi-s coat and waistcoat, end spewed me the nght sleeve of his shirt, and said, " I've been skylarking. Jem, as Yen see ; had the sleeve of my shirt torn .off." I said, " How comes that about ?" He said, "I've been to Sarah Cocks." a young, girl he heard 'him speak of before. I forgot to say that he showed me some money, and said, "Here are twelve sovereigns, that'd two. The CORONER then addressed the jury. He said-- 1 Gentlemen of the jury, there are no more witnesses to be examined, and, I think, indeed, that no more wit nesses are necessary. You have heard the depositions taken in the first stages of this inquest read over, and the evidence given to day must be so fresh in your memories, that I need not detain you, after having al ready devoted so many hours to this inquiry. The body of the man has been identified. The period when the cries of murder were heard is deposed to by the witness Hilton as at a quarter after seven. The body was found at twenty minutes to eight, and found exactly in the place where the cries were discovered proceeding from, in the west-corner of the Haverstock-field, and near Bel zize-lane. The surgeon's evidence is also conclusive. Mr. Perry says that the injuries on the head are sufficient to account for his death. You, yourselves, saw what frightful wounds were upon the scalp, reaching down to the bone, and you may imagine the violence done to the brain by the blows that were given. With reference, there fore, to the cause of death there could be no doubt what ever. Then with reference to the suspicions attaching to a party or parties, you heard me detail the reasons which induced me to take James locker into custody. To-day, however, the evidence has been of a very strong character as regards Thomas locker, but I do not think it necessary to go through it. You have heard the evidence with regard to the clothes, the drawers, the trousers, and the shirt. You have been told of the tearing of the right wristband, but it must be confessed there has been no attempt at secrecy. Not one of these articles were kept secret, with the very apparent excep tion of the weapon by which the injuries had been in flicted. What that weapon is, Heaven only knows. There the evidence of Miss Philps, and her evidence is very peculiar, shows that the prisoner, Thomas 'locker, was at No. 17, Portland-place, that same night, at 10 minutes aft: r 9 ; that he then produced the watch and ring, although he was never before seen with either of them, and that he brought in his cloak upon his arm. The evidence of that young girl is particularly striking, because it is ascertained that previously he had not a watch or ring in his possession on that night. True, he said that Delarue gave him his watch to pledge on the Friday morning at 10 o'clock, but to the evidence of the witnesses the prisoner had not demurred once ; he had not asked a single question all the time the witnesses were being examined, and had but once challenged the truth of the witnesses' statements. You have seen the coat produced and that two buttons are wanting. It has been proved that one of those buttons was found in the room, and the other was found within two yards of the spot where the body was discovered. Any person whb has examined them may see, and must believe, that they are from the same garment, as they match in every particular. However, they may not be conclusive of themselves, and only important facts as taken in connexion with other circumstances; yet you have the marks of blood upon the drawers, corresponding with the trousers taken off the prisoner by Inspector Haynes, in the Clerkenwell House of Correction. The father has given his evidence in the most honest way, considering what are the circumstances under which he appears here, and great credit is due to him ; for no man could have given his evidence more fairly—more truly. He states that, at half-past six o'clock, his son Thomas locker left home. His brother states that he left at half-after six o'clock, or a quarter to seven, certainly not later than seven o'clock ; and they were informed that the distance from the fa ther's house to the place where the body was found was only a ten minute's walk. The cries of murder were first heard at a quarter after seven, and no attempt had been made to set up an alibi, and the circumstances admit of Thos. Hocker 's having been on that spot when the cries of murder were heard. In consequence of an expression which Jas. locker used when Scottney, the police ser geant, entered the room, suspicion might very properly have attached to him, more especially when we consider that the deceased's watch was found under the pillow, and part of the prisoner's, Thos. locker's shirt, with a bloody sleeve, was found also in the room. But I et us trace the situation of James Hocker from the time of his brother's being taken into custody. Thomas locker was taken into custody at half-past. one on Wednesday morning. James offered to accompany his brother to the Hampstead station-house, and you are informed that after accompanying the officers and him for a con side - able distance, it was only owing to the words of In spector Partridge that he returned and left them. James locker had a full knowledge of the charge for which his brother had been taken into custody, and he had amide opportunity of making away with everything or any• thing which could by possibility have proved his bro ther guilty. He could have got rid of the clothes, he could have got rid of the shirt, of the macintosh, and of the stockings—in fact, of anything or of every thing which was in the slightest degree calculated to prove his brother guilty of this crime; but so far from making away with anything, everything was left open— nothing was concealed—the shirt was not concealed, the macintosh was not concealed, the stockings were not concealed. Everything was laid open to the view of the officers when they entered; and certainly these circum stances seem to prove, in the most satisfactory manner, that neither the father, or the mother, or . the brother, entertained the most distant suspicion of Thos. locker's guilt. That, I think, fully warrants me in discharging James 'locker from custody, to place him, however, as a witness against his brother ; and in looking back upon all the evidence, I see nothing whatever which ap pears to implicate either the father, the mother, or James locker in this transaction. At the first blush of the case it did seem extraordinary that he should think the person murdered to have been Delarue, but he after wards satisfactorily explained that ; and therefore no suspicion can now attach to the parents or this young man. He has given his evidence as fairly, and as clearly, and as creditably to himself as his parent did. They are both placed in an awful position with regard to their relative; but both have given their evidence as clearly and as faithfully as they could, considering the circum stances in which they are placed. The case, as it now stands, refers to Thomas Henry Hecker alone, and the circumstances adduced are of a very pointed and striking character. At every step they tend to confirm and strengthen the evidence against him. He does not attempt to prove that he was either in one or another place that night. He writes on a slate to his brother, that he is going to Mrs. Edward's to get some money ; she has been in Court, and she states that she has never lent him any, and that she never promised him any. The next time he is seen is in Portland-place, and then he has the watch and the ring which have been proved to have belonged to Delarue ; then we see nothing of him till two o'clock on the suc ceeding morning, when he returns to his lodgings in Victoria-place. He accounts to his brother for the torn sleeve, by stating that he had been rompingysiiii Sarah Cox. Then he produces the twelve so vereigns, ut but he says nothing about the watch, nothingttbo his the ring, but he shows him the sleeve o shirt, which was torn and bloody. The ciotes) are i found and identified, and they are s potted with blood various parts. These circumstances tell fearfully ond against Thomas Henry Ilocker. Subsequently, on t A night, he is with Miss Philps, and on 'Tuesday night or Wednesday morning he is taken into custody. We are told by Sergeant Scottney that on that morning the pri soner took the watch from under his pillow, sayi ng , "Delarue gave it to h im to sell for h im; but we have no proof that it was seen its his possession until we have Miss Philps's evidence that he had it on Friday night. You can come but to one conclusion —namely, that the prisoner, Thomas Henry Rocker, must be placed upon his trial for the wilful murder of James Delarue. If you can come to any other conclusion, you are at liberty to do so. He is not tried here, but he has had every chance of bringing forward wit nesses, and he has not availed himself of the opportunity. James, his brother has availed himself of that advant age , an d has distinctly proved that he did not leave home till nine o clock. The body of the mur dered plan was found at tight, tlaas rendering it impossi- Besides this tortunate preservation there was a great quantity of canvass and twine rescued from the factory, before the fire gained a great ascendancy in that building ; but the whole of the valuable machinery has fallen a prey to the fire. The only engine belonging to the brigade esiablishment present was that from Southwark-bridge-road station, under the superia. tendence of Mr. Henderson, the foreman ; and how one as large could be got along the narrow bank in Itont of the Thames, and thence to the rear of the premises, is almost a mystery. How. ever, it was there, with sufficient force, and rendered most eft°. tive service. The floating engine from the Rotherbithe station was not towed down, probably on account of the state of the tide; but with so hearty a will did all betake themselves to their labour under the guidance of their respective chiefs, that the absence of the float was not noticed. By half-past ten o'clock the factory and dwelling.house were completely gutted, with the roofs (iron) fallen in. The rope.. shed, to the extent of about 30 yards; was also reduced to a heap of smouldering ruins by the time above stared, and had It not been for the prompt exertions of those present, in all probability the tar-warehouse, which is so near to the detached portion of the rope.shed, would have ignited, and the loss would have thereby been greatly augmented. It was impossible to arrive at any other than a rough estimate of the entire destruction of property. Nevertheless, from the nOnt. ber of persons employed on the premises, and the extensive and costly machinery in use, the sum before stated—namely, from 20,000/. to 25,0001.—must be within compass. The premises, dwelling-house, and furniture are insured in the Imperial and Royal Exchange Fire-offices. It is understood that an in q uir y as to the origin of the calami ty will be instituted, combustion. although it is at present believed to have ari sen from DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR OXPORD-STREET.-Still• day afternoon, between one and two o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises belonging to Mr. J. S. Evans, manufac turer of account-books, &c., Berwick-street, Oxford-street. The fire was caused by a child lighting a piece of paper which she had racked from among the mass of shavings made in the trade. The ignition of this, with other easily ignitable arti cles in the workshops, soon caused a general blaze, and so rapidly did the tire progress, that by the time the engines arrived the whole of the stock, benches, presses, welting ma chines, and floors were blazing, and the contiguous manufac tory of Mr. J. M. Leader, coach-builder, of Oxford-street, had caught fire. Unfortunately, the supply of water was ex ceedingly scanty, and the flames mounted most fearfully,threat ening destruction to the whole of the proximate property. Shortly afterwards, however, the supply of water was most copious, and the hose being under the direction of the fire men most judiciously directed, several streams from opposite points were poured upon the fire. Eventually it began to be apparent that the fire would not extend beyond the two buildings in which it was then burning. It was nearly four o'clock, however, before it could be considered safely extin guished, and by that hour it was discovered by the pro prietors that the whole of the stationery department of the buildings was consumed, and the workshops destroyed. The coach-building manufactory was gutted, and about fourteen carriages destroyed, including one valued at 300/, intended for the Earl Delamere, and others for noblemen and gentle men in town and country. -Besides these, there were in the store-rooms several handsome carriage a ppointnaentsof con siderable value, belonging to illustrious persons not in town, besides a great quantity of vehicles in a course of construc tion. Mr. Leader is unfortunately uninsured. Mr. E vans is insured.. Several surrounding buildings were damaged. ---.-~.
