MINES.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'Osoxix.

The mining market is inactive to-day, and
prices in most instances are quoted the same as at
the close yesterday. Wheal Seton shares are very
firm at 142 i to 145, and Marke Valley at 10i to f.
Wheal Lndcott are steady at 9} to 10, and East
Caradon flatter at 49 to 47.
There are inquiries for Scottish Australian
Mining shares, which are firm, and are marked 1
and prem. St. John del Rey have been dealt
in at 54.
At Hingston Downs' two-monthly general meet-
ing yesterday, the cash account showed a balance in
hand of 1241. 12s. 5d., and the estimated account
showed a balance against the mine of 395/. 19s. &I
A call of ls. 6d. per share was made. The next
sampling is computed at 370 tons.

A CH•llsorza.—On Monday a woman named
Harriet Kettle was fined 201. by the Nottingham magis-
trates, and in default committed for three months for ob-
taining a situation es cook by means of a false character.
The document was as follows, and it will be seem that the
spelling was appropriate " Radians, Aug. 11.—Mrs.
Jacks —i can may that H. Kelle is a very stady and honest
and industreee and can cook a diner for any gentlemeos and
if you inquire any more i will call and see you the first
time i come to Nottingham. Mar cannot right for she bee
got a had hand ; and par is not atoms, mar is omen to see
t.
Borne on Saturday. Harriet is gone 0.1" to Botts-
ford but she is cumin back to night co if you right to her you
may drect it to her here.—i remains yeours respecfull Mrs.
FRANCIB SCOFFIRLD."

GIVING UP ♦ THOUSAND ♦ Yana.—A Limerick
paper stake that there uan estate in an adjacent county
the arrears on which amount to 30,0001. An agent was lately
appointed to collect them ; but, having received no less than
four threatening letters, he has resigned, though the ap-
pointment was worth 1,0001. a year.

IRISH THUGS.—The following extraordinary
statement appears in the Waterford Mail :—"lt is gene-
rally believed that the expression used by Beckham at his
execution, lam the first of us to be banged,' did not allude
to his family, but to a party of Thugs, who have under.
taken to act as the ministers of vengeance of a secret com-
mittee ; and there are rumours that the list of victims
amounted to fifteen, of whom five have already been struck
at, and three of them killed. We beard the names of
others, but do not wish to mention them. We are
led to believe that Walsh was not intruded with the
secrets of the body, and was merely engaged to assist in the
assassination of Mr. Fitzgerald, for which he received lOL
Walsh surrendered in order to escape being murdered him-
self, as two of the Thugs bad been told off for this duty,
and bad he not given himself up to the police on the very
day, it is believed he would have been shot that night. We
are told that Walsh, who has acknowledged his guilt, is
not in a position to bring to justice those who are secretly
banded in the execution of the terrible crimes which have
disgraced the country."
CONVICTIONS UNDER THE SALMON FISHERY ACT.
—The salmon fishing for the season is now drawing to a
close, and the societies who have taken upon themselves to
see that the new law is carried iota full operation have
been active in instituting prosecutions where it has been
wilfully broken. At the Tbornbury (Gloucestershire) Petty
Sessions, on Wednesday, the officers of the United Asso-
ciation for the protection of the salmon fisheries of the
river Severn and its tributaries brought several cases of
this kind for adjudication by the bench. The oases were
all of the same class, the defendants, fishermen and fishery
owners on the river Severn in the tidal way at Tbornburv,
being all charged with using their pelts or pokier*, fixed
engines used for taking salmon in the Severn estuary,
during the weekly close time—via., between noon on
Saturday and 6 on Monday morning. One or/mar of 600
of these engines (which are placed to ranks in the tidal
way, and which few salmon can escape in their way up the
river) was charged and convicted of three separate infractions
of the weekly fence time, and was fined IL each case.
His name is Oliver Norris. The following were also fined
If., including costs :—John Curnock, Robert Rummell, John
Canard, and Mark Britain. George Britain was charged
with using putts for taking salmon in the weekly fence
time. H. pleaded that he was fishing for shrimps, but as
the puha were not welled (which would not have prevented
their taking shrimps), and as they were capable of taking
salmon, he was convicted, but let off on payment of 2s. 6d.
and costs.

---
emus IN 1861.-421,891 pereone-3 per cent.
more than in the previous year—wore proceeded against,
summarily or by indictment, in England and Wales in the
year 1861. The commitments for trial for the more serious
offences were 18,326—5 i number which is 14 per cent. more
than 1860, and 8 per cent more than the avenge of the
threesome 1858.60. In regard to that class of crime which
is sacribed to the existence of a criminal class rather than to
the general community, the committals for offences against
property with violence increased 38 per cent as compared
with 1860 ; or, taking some of the items separately, the in-
crease in committals for burglary was 41 per cent. ; house-
breaking, 56 per cent. ; robbery and assaults to rob by per-
sons armed, in company, &c., 18 per cent. In commitmenta
for offences against property without violence there was an
increase in simple larcenies, embezzlement, fraud, and re.
ceiviug stolen goods. In the cases prqieeded against sum-
marily before the magistrates there wiff also ao increase of
17 per cent. in the charges for stealing. In the police re-
turns of the number of indictable offences committed in the
year, so far as known to them, the offences against property
with violence are stated to have been 5,062, one-fonrth more
than in 1860. The criminal tables state that the number of
warms committed for trial in Ireland in 1861 for indictable
offences wee- 5,586, an increase of 3/ per cent. ova 1860; in
Sontlaed, for the same elms of offences, 3,229, a decrease of
17 per cent The convictions in 1861 for indictable offences
were 13,879 in England, an increase of 15 per cent, over
1860 ; in Ireland, 3,271, an increase of nearly 10 per cent.
3,032 persons were sentenced to penal servitude in the
United Kingdom in 1861.
THE SUPPLY OF WOOL—For two or three years
there has been an astonishing increase in the importation of
wool. Last year it appears there was a slight check, but
still the great pmgross made in 1860 wex.7 nearly main-
tained, 147.17 .94 lb. having been im as compared
with 148.396,5 Mb. in 1860. Is 1856 the imports were
116.211,3921 b. ; and in 1851, five years previously,
83,311,9751 b. The regular increase of the consumption of
foreign and colonial wool in the face of the well-
sustained borne production shows that the demand for
woollen fabrics increases much faster than the population.
The British settlements in Australasia never made such
large deliveries as last year, 68,506,2221 b. having been re-
calved from that quarter during the twelve months, against
59,166.01611 a in 1860. 52,062,1391 b. in 1856, and
41,810,1171 b. in 1851. 'The British settlements in South
Africa also advanced to 18,676,2861 b. last year, ea com-
pared with 14,305,1881 b. is 1856, and 5,816,5911 b. in 1851.
The that Indies have made equal pretrial+ they forwarded
19.161,0041 b. last year, easiest 15.386.5781 b. in 1856, and

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two °Twos.

The funds remain very dull, at the reduction
which took place yesterday. The other markets
wear a holiday appearance, and business ie very
limited. In English railways there is no change
worth mentioning. Turkish securities continue to
meet with attention, and have been in good demand
this morning. Italian securities have again given
way, while Pernambuco Railway shares continue
to rise.

day.

yesterday, at 71} to 72 ; the scrip of the
new loan at 1 to 01 dim ; and the paid up
at 664 to 67, but it will be seen by reference to the
list of sales that the beat prices of the morning are
not maintained at the present hour. Italian Five per

extent ; and upon some parcels of good quality a slight ad-
vance was realised, other descriptions brought late rates.

THURSDAY EVISHIG.

The discount market to-day was slightly easier,
some persons having apparently over-supplied
themselves yesterday in order to guard against the
contingency of a rise in the Bank rate to-day. The
terms for good bills, however, were maintained at
11 to 2 per cent., and at the Bank of England a
fair amount of business was done.
There was a better demand for dock shares, and
an advance of about 1 per cent, took place in St.
Katharine and East and West India.

Theol;siTliquotations for shares in new under-
takings to-day were as follows :—Bank of Kudos-
tan, 1 to Of dis. ; Northern Railway of Buenos
Ayres, par to I prem. ; Buenos Ayres, Southern
Railway, to f prem. ; Bank of Queensland, Ito

THE MANCHESTER MURDER.

At the Liverpool Assizes yesterday, before Mr.
Baron Wilde, William Robert Taylor (37) and Anne
Taylor WO were indicted for the murder of Mr. Bran
Moller, at Manchester, on the 16th of May. At an early
hour the court was densely crowded, and the most ab-
sorbing interest was manifested in the case.
Mr. Monk, Q.C., with whom were Mr. Bowler and Mr.
Holkar, was engaged for the prosecution ; and Mr,
Oversod, Q.C., for the female, and Mr. Pope for the
male prisoner. Both prisoners pleaded not guilty.
In opening the case for the prosecution, Mr. Monk said
he should not follow the example sometimes set of
enlarging in very solemn tones and in an em-
phatic manner upon the nature of the crime
charged against the prisoners, became he believed
such appeals had rather the effect of agitating the nerves
than invigorating. the jodgmeot and strengthening the per-
ceptions of the jury. Os. thing, however, he wished to
urge, end if he did not speak as eloquently and powerfully
as his learned friends, be wished to do so no less emphati-
cally and sincerely—viz., that every member of the jury
would discard from his mind absolutely and entirely every-
thing which he had heard and seen in the papers respect-
ing the case. Their duty was to judge of the ease by the
evidence. and that alone. The facts of the case were the...
Mr. Evan Mellor, the decemed, was in partnership with one
of his sons es au estate agent in Manchester, and in an ex-
tensive and respectable way of business. Among other per-
sons the deceased was the agent of Mr. Dunn, • very
mar relative of one of the members for Lancashire.
About the end of October, 1861, the male prisoner applied
to take, and ultimately did take from the deceased • house
and shop in Britannia-buildings, Straugeways, one of the
suburbs of Manchester. He entered into possession and
remained in possession until the unfortunate occurrence
into which they were now inquiring. On the 16th May
William Moller, a younger son of the deceased, who was
also employed in the office of hi father, arrived
at their place of business in Lower King-street, about nine
o'clock, a little before his father. Hs had scarcely arrived
when Taylor came ie accompanied by his wife. Taylor in-
quired for Mr. Moller, and was told that he had not yet
arrived, but was expected in half an hour. Now, the pre-
mises occupied by the Mallets were situated upon the
second floor, and the lower rooms were occupied, amongst
other tenants, by • Mr. Leatherbrow. Meller 's othce
comisited of • general and private office, and
an ante-room partitimed front the general office.
At the time the Taylors entered, no one was
in the office but young William Miller, and, having
learned that Mr. Keller, no. was not in, the prisoners
took seats in such positions that the male prisoner could
command a view of the earIADO) to the premises, sod the
female of the private and general offices, which were ap-
preached h the ante-room. A few minutes elapsed when ;
young Meller heard his father's voice, and saw him enter
sad dose the door of the general office. He heard him say,
"Good moraing, Mr. Taylor ;nand this was followed, almost
immediately, by the extlereerion "Oh, Mr. Taylor !" upon
which young Mallet turned Ind saw his father in
the grasp of the male prisoner, who at that time
seemed to have clenched in his hand something
which William Mellor could not see, but with which ,
the prisoner appeared to be striking at his father's
breast. S'ith a natural impulse William Moller proceeded ,
towards his father, but the moment he did so the female I
prisms presented a revolver, and young Mellor then rushed
baalc again into the office where he was before, end at
to fasten the door. Nobody, however, followed
him. Throwing up the window, he gave as alarm, and in •
short time, hearing • report of firearms on the staircase, he
again came out of the office, and found his father lying
upon the landing of the first floor (the attack had taken
place on the second floor) in estate of insensibility. ID the
mean time it appeared that Mr. Leatherbeow, from hie
office below, had heard the noise as of some person falling,
sad came out to see what was the matter. Observing Mr.
Mailer lying upon the landing, he called to Hooleyt one of
his servants, who came sod raised the deceased a bead.
While Hooley was in this attitude, with his wrist near Mt.
Millers he'd, the male prisoner was observed to come from
behind and fire a revolver, which wounded Hooley either in
the wrist or in the knee. Hooley then let Meller fall down,
and he himself staggered away, propping himself against
the wall. As he was thus proceeding, it would be
shown by the evidence that both the prisoners
very composedly and coolly recommended him to go
to the infirmary and seek medical assistance. Now
about this times person named Pankharet, who was pus-
ing, entered the building, and found Hooley and Leather-
brow, and the male prisoner standing • step or two above
them on the stairs. About the same moment, or imme-
diately afterwards, William Meller rushed down the stairs,
and WY proceeding to his father, when a pistol was levelled
at him by the prisoner. Pankhurst put up his hand, and
said, "Good God, what would you do ?" and young Mellor
ran behind some of the persons present. The prisoner said,
"He has ruined me and my children." Pankburst put his
head to Metier after the shot, and found that the pulse,
which was throbbing before, had ceased- Moller was re-
moved at once in • coach to the infirmary, and it then ap-
paired that he had received no fewer than 11 stabs in dif-
ferent parts of the body, and that there was also a wound
which might have been caused by falling, making 12 in all.
Of the 11 stabs, one had penetrated the heart, and had taken
effect about the chest, and the others were of such a kind as
to be almost immediately fatal. When the police arrived
the female prisoner was found walking about on the ground
floor, and the male prisoner still held the revolver in his
hand. About the time of his arrest he exclaimed, of his
own accord, "Thank God. my work is done ! " and on another
occat-ion he exclaimed that Mr. Meller had murdered his
children. These hidden* however, would be more amply
detailed by the witueeses. Upon the prisoner was also
found • bullet and mould, a powder flask, some percussion
caps, and • sheath of paper such as is frequently used for
knives, and behind a sideboard on the landing where the
attack upon Mr. Meller had taken place, was found a knife
which seemed intended to fit that sheath. The knife was
wet and bloody. Mr. Monk said he should further prove
that the woman who was employed to clean the premiss
was there some half-hour previously, and that no knife was
there then. It would also be proved that on the previous
day the prisoner purchased a revolver and bullet mould, the
same as those found upon him, from • Mr. Jones. The
revolver was an old-fashioned one of six chambers, in which
the whole of the barrels, and not merely the chambers,
revolved. One of the barrels was found to be discharged,
and the other five were loaded. When taken to the polio,-
office the prisoner took from some part of his person three
keys, explained what doors they belonged to, and said,
" That opens such and such a bedroom, and if you will go
there you will find something." The officers, when they
went to the house, found it in a state of great disorder, the
walls and doors sod chimney-pieces having been moth
injured and disfigured. A stern slab had been re-
moved from cue of the chimney-pieces and laid
upon the chimney-floor, and upon that slab were placed the
heads of three children who had ceased to live. How lung,
or by what means, those children had ceased to live was no
part of the present inquiry, and he (the learned counsel)
should have abstained from noticing the children at all were
it not for certain expressions and conduct of the prisoners.
The children were washed and " laid out," each being
dressed in a clean man's shirt, and round the neck, waist,
and wrist of each being tied • piece of black ribbon. Upon
the breast of each child was pinned a piece of paper with
the following inscription :—" We are six. but nee at
Harptry lies : thither our bodies take. Moller and Son are
our cruel murderers, but God and our loving parents will
avenge us. Love rules here. We are all going to our
sister, to part no more." That writing was in the hand of
the male prisoner. On the other side of the paper was
written the name of each child :—" Mary Hannah Taylor,
12 years of age ; Hannah Maria Taylor, 8 years of ego ;
William Robert Taylor, 5 years of age." Upon the body
of the youngest child was another piece of paper, upon
which was written' " Metter our sister slew through
gross neglect." After alluding to some minor
points in connexion with Taylor's selling some
clothes belonging to Taylor's children and his wife,
Mr. Monk came to &insider the question of motive. The
prisoners were evidently intensely imbued with a desire to
revenge the wrongs and injuries which they believed they
bad sustained at Mr. Mellor's heeds. They were unpre-
pared at Christmas, 1861, to pay the rent which was due
for the premises in Britanom-buildings, and they were
threatened with a distress. lint still the rent was not paid.
nor was it pelt until after an umurrenos of a very painful
kind, which he (the learned counsel) would now detail.
On the Sunday before the 24th of January, 1862. an explo-
sion of steam took place upon the promises, which caused
the death of one of Tavlor'a children. Before the explosion
Taylor had complained to Mr. Metier of the leakage in the
pipes, sod Moller gave instructions for the usual repairs;
but whether the pipes were repaired or not, some farther
leakage appeared to have taken place, which continued
until the explosion. The explosion was attributable to the
fact that some pipes, which communicated with the cistern,
had been stopped. The prisoners attributed the explosion
to the negligence of Mr. Mellor, though the latter
said it was Torlor's owe fault, and he therefore

refused to give the prisoner compensation. Another
grievance which the prisoner nourished ;wind
Meller was connected with a dispute as to the
value and removal of some fixtures. There were also two
other sources of complaint. On the 3rd Feb. a distress was
put into the prisoner's premises, and the goods were taken
away. There was little to seize and the goods did rot rea-
lise the amount of the rent, but the prisoner was not con.
sidered by Meller an eligible tenant, and another distress
was instituted. It war intimated, however, to the prisoner
that if he would leave the place he might take anything
that belonged him. All these circumstances seemed to have
excited a very angry feeling towards Mellor in Taylor's
mind, and to this feeling the acts of violence which had
been detailed were attributed by the prosecution. Having
pointed out the legal distinctions between murder and
manslaughter, Mr. Monk reminded the Jury that, in minor
offences, the law presumed that the wife acted under the
coercion of her husband, sad excused her in onisequence,
but that this did not prevail in cases of murder. As an
authority be might mention the ease of Yenning and hie
wife, who were side by side brought boffin a jury charged
with murder, and who suffered together the penalty of the
law. Dwelling upon the points which associated the female
prisoner with the crime, the learned counsel said she was
Lying with her husband, was seen in his society
both at their own house and at Meller's office,
and it would be for the ,jury to say whether
the appearance which the children presented indi.
cited rather the care and attention of a female than a male
band, though the writing was evidently in the hand of

Taylor himself. In conclusion, the learned 'mined said that
if the jury should come to the ensolusion that the present-
tion failed against either or both of the prisoners, neither
of his learned friends for the defence could urge them wore
stroagly than he did to acquit the prisoners. They must,
however, look into the question fearlessly and impartially
by the evidence, and if they found both or either of the
prisoners guilty, he was satisfied that they would not fail as
independent and honest men to dither,e their duty. The
learned gentleman then called witnesses.
William Galloway Midler, examined by Mr. Bowler, Q.C.,
said he was a clerk to his late father, Evan Keller, who
carried on Waimea in co-partnership with his son John
Miller, as estate agents. About a quarter to nine o'clock on
Friday morning, the 16th of May, he (witness) went to the
office, be being first there. Tay and his wife called and
asked if Mr. Mellor was in ; said no, but he would not be
long before he came. Taylor said he hoped he would not
be long, übe had to go by the trio. They then sat down
in the anteroom, the male prisoner sitting with his back to
the window, his wife sitting with her bask to the wall.
Heard hi father come in and my, " Good morning, Mr.
Taylor." At the same time heard him say, in a tone of
alarm, "Oh, Mr. Taylor !" lie saw Taylor holding his
father as if he was throttling him. Witness, getting off his
seat, rushed towards a door Lading to the staircaes; the
female prisoner, who was not far from him, presented a ze-
volver pistol which she held in her hand towards
witness's face. He banged the door, which had
been t.Cletially ors, and ran into the inner office.
He wi up the window and then beard a
report of drearms from the direction of the staircase. On
hearing the shot he ran bank to the atair ; so one was oa
the first landing, but on the second he found his father.
The male prisoner was on the upper landing, with a re-
volver in his band. The male prisoner then rushed up-
stairs, and witness ran to the police-station, which is close
by. When he returned he found the female prisoner walk-
ing up and down the ground floor. She seemed to be
coming out of the building. lie went up to where he had
left has father, and assisted, with others, to carry him into
a cab, in which he was conveyed to the Royal Infirmary.
He did not know what the prisoner had in his hand, but
when he saw Taylor and his father, be noticed Taylor's
band moving as if he was striking. Mellor and Son were
agents for the house in which the prisoner lived. About
sic months previously an explosion of the boiler had taken
place, and one of the prisoner a children was killed. The
prisoner made complaints of the explosion, and stated that
the place required a tboroughrepair. The rent for the place
was due in January, but was riot paid, and on
the lid of February a distress was levied upon
his property. A sale took *m, but the whole amount of
the rent was not realised. Me continued to live in the
place, and the rent due in March was also not paid. Another
distress was levied upon the premises on the 30th of April.
' A day or two before the attack the prisoner called at the
office and saw the deceased ; be said he wanted the account
of the person who had distraMed, u he had not had it ; au
altercation took place, but no quarrel. He did not appear
to be excited.

croesexamination by Mr. Pope the witness said that
soon after the prisoner entered upon the premises he com-
plained that his health was failing, and said he was desirous
of leaving the place if he could find another tenant. He
did find another propped tenant, who was brought to Mel-
lor and Son's offices, but the arrangement went off in conse-
quence of some disagreement as to the fixtures. The male
prisoner had complained of the state of the boiler before the
explosion took place. The distraint was put in for the
January quarter, about a week after the child who bed been
killed by the explosion was buried ; and after that the place
was shut up.
In cross-examination by Mr. Overload, Q.C., the wham
said the prisoner bad been in the office for a quarter of an
hour or twenty minutes before his father came in ; the
female prisoner did not speak to him (witness) at all. His
father was seized immediately he came 10, and the door was
not closed.

In re-examination the witness said be was quite sure the
female prisoner presented a revolver at him ; and stated
that the reason be threw up the window was, that he was
under the impression she was going to follow him, and he
intended to adopt that means of escape.
Joseph Peacock Leatherbrow, wine merchant, St. James's-
chambers, said his office was below that of Moller and Son.
On the morning question, while is his office, ha beard a noise
es of some one falling down stelae. He ran up stain, and
on the first landing saw Mr. Mellor lying on his hack ; he
was bleeding slightly from the mouth. Witness called for
his cellarman, who came up, and Mr. Heller was mind into
a sitting position. While holding him in this position, the
male rawer came down stain with a revolver in his hand.
He pointed the revolver at Mr. Heller'• head, while two or
three feet from him, and fired. Did not nowhere the shot took
effect. Witness said to the prisoner, "My God, what does
this mean !" He replied, '' Oh, he has murdered my
children." Witness then west down stairs, and while there
young Mellor (the last witness) passed him going in the di-
rection of the police office. Hcoley, his °Warman, who
had been wounded, fainted ; and when returning with water
for this man Taylor was there. He mid to Hooley "Young
man, I advise you to go to Use Infirmary," or words to that
effect. The male prisoner had stall a revolver in his hand, a
policeman arrived, and the prisoner was removed. *He was
very calm and composed in his demeanour. Several times
that week he had seen Taylor peas up stairs in the direction
of Holler's office.

Croessexamined—What the men did he did quite openly,
and made noattempt to escape. There war plenty of time
to escape if he had been so minded.
John fiooley, the oellarman referred to by the lest witness,
said be remembered being called by Mr. Lmtberbrow, and
on going up to the first landing he saw Mr. Moller lying no
his back bleeding. When they rained his bead witness saw
two men coming down stairs, one with a revolver in his
hand. This man the prisoner, presented the pistol at Mr.
Mailer's bead, and fired. The snot passed through witness's
wrist, and afterwards wounded him on the right hem
When they had got down stairs the male prisoner came
up. and raid very coolly, he had better go to the infirmary.

Tu Mr. Overend the witear atatedlbat the female
pri-
eooer rid nothing.
Henry Francis Parkhurst, auctioneer. said be heard on the
morning in question, something in Lower Kiog-street which
induced him to go to St. James's.chambers. He saw
Hooley at the bottom of the stain wounded ; sad then
went upstairs, and on the first landing be found Mr.
Heller. He felt his pulse, and found there was very slight
pulsation ; there was a great deal of blood about his
clothes. While young Heller was coming down, the prisoner
had a revolver in his bend, and when Heller saw it he ran
upstairs again screaming. Taylor then raised the revolver
at young Heller, when witness shouted out, "Good God !
what are you going to do r Witness caught prisoner's eye,
which quailed. Taylor lowered his hand, exclaiming, "He
has ruined me and my family." The police subsequently
arrived, and the prisoner was arrested.

Mr. William Heath, house surgeon at the Royal In-
firmary, said that when Mr. ]feller was brought to that in-
stitution be was quite dead. He had made a post-mortem
examination of the body, and found eleven stabs en different
parts of the body. One wuon tberigbtside of thechest, about
2. inches in length, passing obliquely through the breast,
bone, penetrating the heart, passing throug the diaphragm,
and wounding the liver. Another wound was on the right '
side of the chest, about 2 inches in length, passing through
the cartilage of the fifth arid sixth ribs, awl penetrating the
heart. Either of these wounds was @ult.:lent to cause
death. The other wounds were in different parts of the
body. The knife produced (a large, long-bladed knife, pro-
bably need for cutting bacon or cheese) was likely to have
caused the wounds.
Sergeant Thomas Bramall, of the Manchester police, de-
posed to having gone to the office, when the pnsooer was
pointed out as the person who had abut Healey. Another
officer took the revolver from Taylor's hand, and he was re-
moved to the police-station by witness and another. On
their return they found and arrested the female prisoner.
On going upstairs be found in the ante-room the knife which
had been shown to Mr. Heath. The knife had been placed
behind • board in a corner of the room, and was covered
• with blood. He found Mrs. Taylor in the office, and a
I sheath for a knife was taken out of her pocket by the officer
I Bateman.
Martha Woolley, the charwoman employed in cleaning
the offices, proved that when she cleaned the place that
I morning no knife was in the position in which it was after-
.wards found by Braman.
' Police-sergeant Bateman, who accompanied Brunell to St.
James's-chamber,, proved that he took the revolver (pro-
' duped) from the male prisoner. He said his name was
Taylor, and that be lived at 5, Britannia.hoildinga, Strange-
