C —Derby Nada was apprehended on the
111th of November, the inquest was held on the 6th. Only
the two Nola*, and the doctor were examined on tbat occa-
sion. The pantry where the bludgeon was found did not
appear to have been washed recently. There was no fire
in Shea's part of the house on that evening.
Mr. Superintendent Allen went to the hones of the de-
ceased about midnight alter the murder. The clothes had
not then been removed, they were dirty and covered with
blood. In about half an hour witness went to the house
where the prisoner and the Nola= lived. An the people
were in bed except Darby Nolan. In consequence of what
the latter stated, witness went into Shea's apartment and
apprehended him. The prisoner made a statement that he
had been at work until bite, but while getting his tea he
recollected that he wanted a bit of cloth to mend his coat,
and he went to • taller's to get it; that while he
was there his father came in and told them of the
murder. The vitae's then went on to describe
the finding of the bludgeon, as deposed to by the
last witness. There was blood on the thicker pert.
A large blue pilot coat was produced by the prisoner,
which bad four patches upon it, and witness took prisoner,
with the ooat, to the tailor from whom he said he got the
cloth to mend it. The tailor, Edwards, ripped off the
patches in presence of the witness and prisoner, and said
the smallest of the pieces was larger than the piece of cloth
he had given the prisoner. The latter persisted in saying
it was the same cloth, and if it bad not been for that, he
(prisoner) would have been many miles away by that time.
He was asked why, and replied it was the only thing be
had to clear him. He was again asked, "To clear him of
what ?" And he answered, "Of the murder." Subse-
quently, he said his wife bad given a wrong account of the
cloth, for some of it had been got from an old waistcoat.
Edwards, a tailor, residing near the prisoner's house,
deposed that the prisoner eane to him about a quarter past
6on the • of the 6th of November. He seemed
agitated, and as h be was taking his breath from run-
niog. He asked for • piece of black cloth, to mend the cuff
of has black mat. H. was wet and dirty. The cloth with
which the pilot mat was patehd was not what witness had
given to the prisoner. The witness then corroborated the
superintendent as to the prisoner's assertion that, but for
that piece of cloth, he should have been many mile, away,
as that was the only thing he had to clear 'limo( the charge
of murder.
Mr. Heaton cross-examined as to whether the expression
seed was "should " or " would " have beta many miles
away, but nothing material was elicited. Mary (forst cor-
roborated the lest witness.

James Spencer, a police-constable, took Shea to his own
house to change his clothes ; while doing so, the prisoner's
father pointed out • bedstead, from which the bludgeon
was taken. The prisoner afterwards said, " I've thought
many a score of times about that bludgeon ; and if any
blood or dirt had been found on it, it would have been
enough to send me over the water."
Mr. John Anderson, a eon of the deceased, identified
the can which had been found along with the hat in the
ditch, as having belonged to his father at the time he was
murdered. _

A man named Jackson, who had been confined in a cell
with the prisoner, deposed to a conversation with the
latter, in which he admitted that the piece of bedstead
brought forward by the polies was the poet by which the
man was killed. Ha also said that the tailor who had come
forward as a witness for him had been spinet him, by
telling them that Mseemed to have hen in a hurry, and
that the deceased Anderson was a bad man over his work-
men.

On erne-examination, the witness admitted that he had
been seven times in gaol. The first time was for poaching,
another time was for potato stealing, and he could not re-
member what the oaten were for.

At this stage of the prooeedings, Mr. Monk stated that he
was plated in a position of considerable embarrususent,
in consequence of having received a note stating that there
was a person in court who could give very important evi-
dence, but whose name was not on the back of the indict-
ment.

Mr. Baron Alderson said he had also received a commu-
nication from the son of the murdered man, but he (the
judge) could of course hold no correspondence on the sub-
ject, either out of court or in court.
Mr. John Hutchinson' the proprietor of the Alkali
Works at Widow's, deposed that the deceased was one of
his foremen. The prisoner is four inches taller than the
deceased was.

Mr. Heaton then proceeded to address the jury on be-

At four o'clock Mr. Baron Alderson proceeded to sum up
the evidence, which was purely circumstantial, as affecting
