EXAMINATION OF THE CONSPIRATORS BOW-STREET—THIS DAY. The prisoners, Timothy Desmond, William Des mond, Jeremiah Allen, Nicholas English, John O'Keefe, and Ann Justice were again placed at the bar, charged with wilful murder. The prisoners were brought to the Court in the prison van guarded by mounted police, and the precautions taken in the Court seined to be much increased. The number of constables on duty was greater, and they were all armed with revolvers. Although the attendance of the public in court was very limited, owing no doubt t,) the trouble of obtaining admission, the atten lance of noblemen and gentlemen on the bench was greater than usual. Amongst these present were—the Duke of Man chester, Lord henry Lennox, Lord Gordon Lennox, Lord W'rotteslcy, and General Peel. Mr. Giffard, QC., and M.r. Poland appeared on the part of the Crown to prosecute ; ',Nix. Lewis appeared for 0 . K 9 . 3 f c . ; and Mr. harper for Timothy Desmond. Mr. Giffard informed the magistrate that from certain facts that had come to his knowledge since the last examination it had been thought right to include the prisoner O'Keefe in the charge of wilful murder. Sir T. Henry—Very well. O'Keefe, are you pro vided with legal assistance ? Mr. Lewis—l appear for him. The following evidence was then taken : Richard Willes said--I live at No. 6, Hull-street. On the evening of the explosion I was coming along Corporation-row. I then saw some men near a barrel. There was something sticking out of the barrel which burnt blue. One of the men leaned over the bartel and laughed. I stood and looked at it for some time, and then the men appeared to come towards me. The man, however, nearest the barrel looked at me and laughed. To the best of my belief the prisoner (O'Keefe) was the man lean ing over the barrel: O'Keefe—What, me ? Witness—Yes. Examination continued—There were some other persons near the barrel, amongst them a woman and some boys. The man near the barrel had on a brown coat and a wide-awake hat. I saw the barrel near the spot, and on it there was some black oilcloth. When 1 got up to the barrel the light burning in it went out. At the back of the truck I saw the words "To let." 1 did not think much more about the matter. By Mr. Lewis —lt was the beginning of last week that I first spoke of this matter. Two parties came—one I know was from the City police. Prior to that I had spoken of the matter to Mr. Spittal, the City detective. I told him of the circumstance about a fortnight ago. My mother, I believe, first mentioned the matter to some person, and then to Inspector Potter and Mr. Spittal. Mr. Lewis—When was the first time you men tioned the matter to any one ? Witness—On the Monday. Mr. Lewis—And why not before ? Witness—Because I did not want to be mixed up in the affair. By Mr. Poland—l cannot say why 1 particularly noticed the prisoner I have pointed out. I suppose it was because he looked at me and laughed. Thomas Reeves Clifford—l lived at No. 11, Cor poration-row before the explosion. lam a warder in the House of Detention. I left duty that day a few minutes before four, and went home. After I had arrived I want to the window and looked into the street. I then saw three men with a truck, upon which there was a barrel. Two men were drawing the truck, and the third was walking on the pavement to the left of the others. I saw a barrel on the truck covered over with a tarpaulin. All three men appeared to have been drinking, as they were all laughing and smoking. Mr. Giffard—Did you notice the men parti cularly ? Witness —Yes. Mr. Giffard—Do you see any of them present? Witness—Yes; Allen is the man who walked on the pavement, and I think English and Timothy Desmond were the men drawing the truck ; but I cannot swear to them. The cask appeared to be one of 36 gallons. Sir T. Henry—Allen, do you wish to ask the witness any questions ? Allen—l should like to know how he became ac quainted with my name ? IVitness—By coming here the last examination, and also from your being in the House of Deten tion. Allen—Who did you speak about me first to ? Witness—To Mr. Hudson, of the Treasury, when - he was taking evidence. Allen—After you had heard the evidence in this Court ? Witness—No, it was not. Allen-1 suppose it was then after you had read the papers ? Witness—No, I have not time to read the news papers. I now think it was to the Governor of the House of Detention on the Mouday after the ex plosion that I first mentioned the matter, and he it was who wrote to the Treasury. Sir T. Ilenry—When did you first see Allen of ter the explosion? Witness—At this court. 1 had seen him on the night of the explosion in the prison, but I did not notice him very particularly then. Ann Gillies—At the time of the explosion I lived at No. 3, St. James's-buildings. On the night before the explosion I met that person (O'Keefe) about 10 o'clock in W oo db r idge-street. O'Keefe—What, me ? Witness—Yes, you, walking towards me, near Aylesbury -street. Examination continued.—lt was near the gas lamp, and I saw the prisoner's features. He wore a high hat, and had on a dark coat and light trowsers. Mr. Lewis—What colour was the coat? Witness—l cannot say. It was night. It was either blue or black. It was not a brown one. Mr. Lewis—And that you will swear ? Wituess—Yes. Ambrose Sutton, recalled—The day before the explosion, to the best of my belief, I saw O'Keefe near the House of Detention between 3 and 4 o'clock. He passed through Short's-buildings into Rosoman-street, near Corporation-row. lie was alone. Mr. Lewis—lou have been examined before ; why did you not ,mention this matter before ? Sir T. Henry—O'Keefe has not been charged with wilful murder before to-day. Witness—l saw the prisoner first in Vine-street, and it was there I identified hint. Walter Holgate, a lad about 14 y ears o f age , sa id —I work at the greengrocer's at the corner of Roso with Chas. Mosely prison was blown up. i ni n a c n 0 - s r t p r o e r e a t. tio l n iie i c a o n l e l et ef p or la e y t i h n e g I was running round the building to keep myself warm. When I came round the second time I saw a barrel on the pavement and a truck iu the road. It looked like a parratline barrel. Mr. Gifford—How do you know that ? Witness—Because I've seen them in carts and at shop doors. Mr. Giffard —You wanted to r o ll th e b arre l about? IVitn ess —Yes. Some of the boys said, " Let us roll it about," but I said no, the man will come. It was about three o'clock. Mr. Giffard—llow do you know that ? Witness—Because I got home late to my dinner, and got a good scolding for it. Mr. Giffard—Do . you recollect pl a yi ng at cat the next day, the day when the explosion occurred, with Charley Mosely ? Witness—Yes, and with Taylor and Gillies in St. James's-buildings. It was in the afternoon, a little after three. Mosely left us to go up stairs to his home to see the prisoners go round. When the explosion took place I was sitting on a basket at my master's door, and I was then blown on my face. John Smith, another little boy, said—l am nine years old, and live at No. 6, Northampton-buildings, Clerkenwell. My father is a printer, and works at Spottiswoode'o. Un FridtlY, the day o the explo: Sion, I was at play with Tom Wheeler. He's now in the hospital. He had his thumb and finger blown off, and his neck cut. We were playing in Corporation-lane. I saw a barrel, like a paraffine barrel, close to the prison wall. I saw a man near the barrel, and he tried to light 4 squib which was sticking out of it, but as it wouldn't burn he took it out and threw it into the middle of the road. I picked it up. The squib was in a round hole in the barrel, which had a bit of white cloth over it. The squib was in the top of the barrel facing the houses. After I had picked up the squib a woman toll me to go away. I afterwards saw a man from the corner of the court throw the man a hoc of matche3. I ran away with the squib down to the Jolly Coopers. The box of matches was thrown to the man at the barrel after I hal picked up the squib. I saw the man put a second squib in the barrel, but I did'at see it lighted. A woman said to me, " My dear boy, you had botter go aw,ly, 's dangdrous." Mr. Lewis objected to that being entered on the depositions. Sir T. Henry—lt is evidence. It accounts for the boy running away after he hid hem cautioned. You can object to it at the trial if you think proper. Examination continued—After I had got th e squib I ran down to the Jolly Coopers, where I dropped it. I had got to the prison wall, when I was blown up to the. Jolly Coopers, and that made me drop the squib. I wasn't hurt. Richard Maskell—l am a warder in the House of Detention. On the 12th of December I took out between 80 and 90 prisoners to exercise at half-past three in the afternoon. We led out at a quarter past three and led in at a quarter past four. I was a quarter late that day in consequence of having to let the prisoners out. Amongst them to take out was a prisoner named Richard Burke. The pri soners walk round and round a paved path in the form of .rings. After I had been walking round and round I noticed Burke more particularly. Mr. Lewis—l must object to that. It cannot be evidence against the prisoner. Sir T. Henry—Yea it is, if it's a fact. Mr. Giffard—l propose to show the motive of the explosion. Examination continued—After the clock had struck half-past four the prisoner Burke fell out of the rank at the wall near Woodbridge-street. He pulled off his boot and knocked it against the wall as if to get a stone out. He wiped his.boot with his hand, and then put it on again, at which time he was looking up at the house in Corporation-lane. He put his boot on very slowly. Having done so, he fell in in the rank again, and went round with the other prisoners ? By Mr. Harper—lt was an hour after the explo sion that I again visited the yard. Mr. Harper—Was not the prison struck with the bricks, and would not they have cleared the yard of the whole of the prisoners. Witness—Yes, some portion of the prison was hit, but the place at which Burke sat down was not touched at all. There were no indented marks on the wall near which he stood, neither were there any bricks lying about where Burke had fallen out. James Cape—l am a warder at the House of De tention. On Thursday afternoon, the 12th, I was out in the exercising yard with the last witness (Haskell) at about half-past three. There were about 80 prisoners exercising. Burke was one of those prisoners, and he was under my charge. Something was thrown over the wall while I was there. This would be a few minutes after four. A white ball came over the wall at the point near Corporation-row. The ball fell near my feet. I caught it as it rebounded. I put that ball in my pocket, and the next day after I gave it to my children. I believe 1 have now the very ball in my I pocket. _ Sir T. Henry—Produce the ball. The witness here placed a white Indiarubber ball on the desk. Mr. Poland—Where did you get that from? Witness—From the ruins of my house which was destroyed by the explosion. Sir T. Henry—Could Casey have gone into the yard in which Burke was ? Witness—Yes, he could then ; but a wall has been built up at that point since the explosion. Mr. Poland—Were the prisoners being exercised in the other yard at the same time that Burke was in the other ? Witness—Yes, and Casey was one of them. Sir T. Henry directed Inspector Thujnson to take charge of the ball. [lt will be recollected that one of the lads on a former examination spoke to having seen one of the prisoners throw a white ball over the wall of the prison the day before the explosion.] Maskel 1 was recalled, and, in answer to Mr. Giffard, said—lt was about two minutes after four when Burke fell out of the rank. He reported the matter to the chief warder. He knew that to be the time, as the prisoners had just been reversed, which is always done as the clock strikes four. James M'Ewen, 5, Gladstone-terrace, Channel row, Peckham, a clerk in the employ of Curtis and Harvey, 74, Lombard-street, gunpowder ma nufacturers, said--On Wednesday, the 4th of Dec., a man called at our office and asked if we could supply him with 50 pounds of powder next day. He said he wauted blasting powder. I told him he could not have it the next day, but he could the one following. He' went away, saying that he would ask his partner if that would do. He came back again the same day, and said he could increase the order to 200 lbs, and it would do if he had it on the Friday. The order was then taken in the re gular way. The address to which it was to be de livered was " George Smith, 8, Pulteney-court, Silver-street." Tha powder was sent by a man named Purchase on the Friday. It was sent in four half barrels. It was to be paid for on de- livery. Mr. Giffard—Look carefully at the prisoners, and tell me if you recognise any of them. Witness—l cannot recognise any of them. William Purchase—l live at Hounslow. I am a carman in the service of Messrs. Harvey, gunpow der manufacturers. On Friday, the 6th of D,:cem ber, I delivered four half barrels (of 501bs. each) of powder to " Mr. G. Smith, 8, Pulteney-court, Silver-street." I took the van with the pw der to the end of the court, and then I went to No. 8, which is a greengrocer's shop, kept by a Mrs. Martin, and inquired for Mr. Smith. The little girl . called " Mr. Smith" downstairs. Ho came through the open door into the shop, and I then said, " Are you Mr. Smith?" He said,. "Yes," and I then said, "I've got four parcels of gunpowder for you ; are you a ware of it ?" and he said " Yes." I was standing at the shop door at this time. I said, " Where will you have 'em ?" He said, " One moment, and I'll be with you." When I first went I saw Mrs. Martin in the shop, and she called to the little girl. She was serving her customers whilst I was talking to the man. This person went with me to the tail of the van, and put one of the barrels on my shoulder and said, " Follow me." I followed him back to No. 8. We went down the passage into a back-yard. He told me to put the barrel in the corner of it. I did so. I then said, " Where will you have the others ?" and he said, " All right ; I'll find a conveyance for those." I I returned through the passage to the van, and when I got there I found a man standing there with a truck. I put the three half barrels into the truck, and the man I knew as Smith covered them over with a bit of tarpaulin. I shut the van up and then the man (Smith) said to the person with the truck, " All right, you know where to take them," and the man then drew the truck in the direction of Golden-square. I then said, " I re quire the money now, if you please," but he replied " What did I do with the receipt." I re minded him that he had left it in the shop. Ho went in and asked Mrs. Mar tin where he had put the paper. She told him, and then she gave it to him from a shelf. He again walked up the court with me to the tail of the van, and then he paid me the amount, £3 7s. 6d. He said, " I'm aware I must not keep more than half a cwt. of powder on the premises, but I know where to put the other." When he said this he was at the bottom of tbc court, and thQ truck had gone off. It was about half-past ten to eleven in the morning when the powder was delivered. . Mrs. Janet Crawford was then called, but not being in attendance, Mr. Giffard said he must ask for another remand. Sir T. Henry—Very well. The prisoners must be remanded for a week. Timothy Desmond, Nicholas English, O'Keefe, and Muflatly v►ere then examined on a charge of treason-felony. . Daniel Barclay, said—l live at 6, Pollen•street, Hanover-square, and am a tai'or. I hold aiease of the Temperance Ball, 6, Pollen-street. In the month of May I let the hall to a person calling him self Father O'Connor. lie hal all the appearance of a priest. I was introluced to him by the pri soner Engl:sli. English told me he was Father O'Connor, and the prisoner told me the lecture that was to be d,liv red wis for a charitable purpose. Father O'Connor sail the c Alection would be de voted to the building of a church in Ireland. English was present' during the whole conversation. Father O'Connor, I think, said Templemore was the place where the church was to be built. I asked how the people were to be admitted into the hall? He said he did not know ; but, if there was time, he should have bills and tickets printed. Father O'Connor said he was about to deliver other lec tures on the same subject in other parts of the• town. Ile asked me the rent of the hall, and I told him ss. for the evening. Nothing further took place beyond his telling me he should deliver his lecture there the following Sunday evening at eight o'clock. On Sunday evening I lit the gas and opened the doors. I saw several persons come in, and also saw tickets and bills. English I saw was standing near the entrance doer. I suppose ho was there for taking tickets. Just as the proceedings com menced I went in, and I then heard the chairman say, " You know what we have met for is to collect funds to build a church. As I passed out of the hall I heard the clergyman intro duced to the- meeting, and the applause which fol. lowed. I heard a few of the opening words of the lecturer. I mean Father O'Connor. I think he said something the same as the chairman—viz., that he was there to collect funds to build a church. Mr. Mullhny (the prisoner) was at the hall. I noticed that gentleman because he came into my parlour to get some water. The hall is the next door to the public-house kept by Mrs. Kavanagh. I have seen the prisoner O'Keefe ence before in the Temperance Hall, but some time ago. The hall will hold 130 persons, and on the occasion of the lecture it was nearly full. Numbers kept on arriving and going out again. By Mr. Lewis—Any person could have entered the hall and heard the lecture that felt disposed. There was nothing that I saw that tended to keep any person out. I did not see O'Keefe at the lecture, but I will not say he was not there. I only heard the few opening words of Father O'Connor. They were as near as I can remember, "We have met here to . raise funds to build a church." I did not hear him use the words " High Church." There was no applause after the word " church," it was all before he began. By Mr. Harper—Father O'Connor only had one meeting. Sir T. Henry—lf there were tickets how could anybody go in that liked ? • Witness—Well, I thought they could. Mr. Giffard—lf English was there to see that no person went in without a ticket, how can you say any person that felt disposed could go iu without one ? Witness—Well, I thought it was quite an open meeting. Dlullany—Didn't I come to you in your parlour for two plates ? Witness—Well, it might be so. Sr T. Henry—Two plates, as I understand, to receive the money collected ? Witness—Yes, I suppose so ; but it is so lot ago. Mr. Giffard—You have said something about a tailors' meeting. \Vas it held after the lecture ? Witness—Oh, no, not the same night. It was some time after. John Thorn, No. 8, Pollee-street, Hanover square —I am a carpenter. The prisoner English lived in the same house as I do, and I have seen him from time to time go into Kavanagh's public-house, " the Lion and French Horn." I know Mullany. I have likewise seen him visit that house. I recol lect some months back being at Mr. Barclay's, No. 6, Pollen-street, painting and papering his parlour. It must have been about May last. One afternoon Mr. English came to the door ; he had another gentle - man with him. Mr. English asked if Mr. Barclay was within. I told him he was, and then Barclay came. English said, " This gentleman wants to engage your hall." I left them all together, and went away. I did not hear the name of the gentleman who wished to engage the hall. He had a long black coat on. Sir T. Henry—Like a clergyman ? Witness—lt was something like that. Mr. Giffard—That is all the evidence I propose to offer to-day in this case. Sir T. Henry—Then the prisoners must stand remanded for a week. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Her Majesty,'s troopship Orontes, Capt. Henry Phelps, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday morning from Malta, sailing thence on the 3d inst. She has brought home Col. Romer, R.A., Lieut. Jerrard, 2d battalion Bth Regiment of infantry ; 59 invalided soldiers, and 37 time-expired soldiers from various regiments serving in the Mediterranean, and a number of naval invalids. She anchored at Spithead yesterday, and steamed into Portsmouth harbour this morning and lauded the troops at the dock yard. The Ranger, 5, screw gun vessel, Commander W. A. Cambier, just arrived in England from the coast of Africa, went into Portsmouth harbour from Spithead on Saturday, to take in a supply of coal, and afterwards sailed for the Nore to dismantle and pay out of commission at Sheerness. We regret to learn that Commander Charles G. Nelson, now commanding the Castor, Royal Naval Reserve Drill ship at North Shields, who commis sioned the Ranger and commanded her through the first part of her service on the West Coast of Africa until invalided home, after successive and persistent attacks of coast fever, is still suffering very much in health from the effects of his old sickness caught in the Ranger. The iron armour-plated screw steam ship De fence, 18, at Devonport, is ordered to be put in commission to-day. She is of 3,720 tons burden, and has engines of 600 horse power. Her present naval lieutenant is Mr. Compton, and chief engineer Mr. P. Wood, both borne on the books of the Indus. The paddle wheel steam vessel Vivid, Staff Com mander Sullivan, which left Plymouth some time since on special duty, returned to the Sound on Thursday and left for Woolwich on Saturday. The two men belonging to the receiving ship Canopus placed under arrest on Thursday on board the filgship Royal Adelaide in Hamoaze on a charge of Fenianisin arc called Allen and Anderson, but as Allen alleges that for self protection only he pre tended to join the movement he has been released. According to his statement it was intended to blow up the magazine of the Canopus on Saturday night, but for what object is not clear. It is not often in the depth of the winter that the strength of the Aldershot division is much affected by exchanges of station or orders of removal, but the present season is an exception. For some time past several regiments have been expecting a sud den route, and the 44th, 56th, and 68th are now under orders to leave the camp.
