Ireeter Williamson being in charge of the case. Mr.
Rway, solicitor, el Trowbridge, watched the case by the

The public hang bees admitted to the complete
of the court,
The Chairman said—Oonelene• Kat, you an brought up

spinet you last week. As I noderstaza, there is • prates-
soma amino= here on your behalf, so I need not say any-

Bash Rogers, the housemaid ; Esther Holly, the washer-
woman, and one of her daughters (all of whom evidence was
takes at the examination of Mim Mast when she was before
in custody), keying bees examined, a keg consultation took
plans between the magistrates sad the clerk. after which
Sergeant Watts, of the Somerset oonstabulary at From
was called, and deposed—From ieformation 1 received I
made a search at Road.lrill Hones the day after the
murder, and found in the chimney-hole of the copper a
chemise wrapped up in brown paper. I showed it to Ser-
geant Foley. It eel not a large-sized chemise. There was
blood on it. I gave it to Sergeant Foley, who said he would
take it to Trowbridge and show It to a medical gentleman.
I have mot emu it since. There was • peat deal of blood on
it, both back and hoot, at the lower port. Ido not remem-
ber whether there was any, except as I have described. I
do not think there was any on the shoulders. The lower
part of the garment was nearly covered with blood.
By Mr. Railway—l don't know whether there was
F any
mediae! officer in the house et the time. Sergeant oley
took it away and said he would show it to one.
Jonathan Whirler was then caned, and sworn. He said
—I was an inspector at the metropolitan detective polioe.
On Sasday, the 15th July, IDA in consequence of a com-
munication made by the magistrate' at Trowbridge to the
Hoene Secretary, I received directions from Sir Richard
Mope to proceed to Road, to assist the local polies in is-
vestigating the ems. On my arrival, Yr. Staascoosbe, the
magistrate, put me in communication with Superintendent
Foley, and I commeseed my inquiries in conjunction
with him. Oa the day following, while making
inquiries at Road-hue-donne, I went to Mine COD-
dimes Kent's bedroom, and found a list of lines.
I sent for her and asked her if that was her list, and
she said it was in her hoodwritinr. I said "Here are three
night dresses enumerated, but I only Ind two. How is
that r' She said, " the other was lart at the wash the week
after the murder." 1 asked her for the two, sad she gave
me thn'ose I Dow produee. Oa the 20th ei July,
athe
warre which I now produce was M Mad for her 'pash.
SW; and I peoceeded with it to Road.billpHouse,on the same
day. I sent for her into the drawing-room, aad said to her
I am a polio" Geiser, aid I bold • warrant for your apprehen-
sion, charging you with the murder of yew brother Fralleis
Seville Kan.
She beau to cry and said she was Mimosa.
I thee conveyed her before the magistrates, who were then
sitting at Road, and she was remanded for • week. At the
next examiatiott she was discharged, her father entering
into swami for 2001. for her attendance. I made every
search in the grounds sad premises win a view of fled*
the miming night-dram, bet was uusnoomsful.
By the Chairmaa—l was acting as the &naive alba
for • fortaglit after the 15th in investigating the ow, sod
I sever beard a single word of any miming praised with
blood on it until shoot three months after, when a private
inquiry took place before Mr. Bounden. I may say is jus-
tice lee Sergeant Watts that I never saw him throughout the

treamacitimi.
The Chairman—l think it should also be known that the
magistrates never knew anything of the Madre present ,
referred to having been foiled with blood on it till long
after, when the isquiry took place before Mr. Saunders.
Cabanas Ann Green said—l am the lady superior of St.
Mary's Hospital 2. Quesn'sequare, Brighton.wish to
say that since Mies Rest, from the feet time she cams—ever
since she has bun there, she and I have been like mother
and daughter, and I do not want to be asked any more
questions thee absolutely summary, as what we have maid
together wee as between moths,. sad daughter.
The Chairmen—You will only be asked such questions as
▪ necemery sad usual in a mart justice,sad thou you
will lave to answer.
Watnees—l think 001111iGA08 Kant came to me on the let
of August, 1863, in the name of Emily. She never said
anything to me about the Road murder previous to her et-
trela wish to give herself up to justice. I spoke to
bg m
about the murder. I had known previously that
she had spoken al it. I told her that I knew of it, bat I
said nothing to Relax her to tusks soy slammed; of that I
am quite certain. I caanot remember what she lint said
exactly. I told her I had heard of it.„ and was sorry for it ;
and I asked her if she fully realised what it involved. I
think there was no oonvernstion Previously.
Then, what do you refer to by it .
Witham—The Bud murder.
Bat did you refer to it
Witness—Neither she nor I referred to it by tams.
Our conversation was chiefly, if ea 'stingy, upon
rel handsubjects. I think she said when I told her I keew
of asked her if she fully realised what it involved,
that she did know what it involved. I think 1 told her
that Mr. Wagner had sold me about it. The next on-
venation on the subject was the next week—but Welly on
religious subjects. She then spoke to me fully ou the
subject. I had been the Ent to speak to her upon reli-
gions subjects. Something in conversation made her tell
me that she carried the child downstairs sleeping--that she
left the house by the drawing-room window, and that ohs
had used a razor. She maid nothing else shout the actual
deed. She said she obtained the razor from her father's
dressing-cue. She spoke afterwards of the night-draw that
was lost. I think she said that she bad taken it out of the
basket. I don't think she told me auytbing else. I don't
recollect that she did.
Did she assign any motive!
Witness—l think she told me it was not her dislike to
the child, but for revenge on her stepmother. She said
that the third time I law bra, when abs told 0313 the other.
I am not quite sure about her dislike to the child.
You are quite sure she said it was in range on her
sloymother!—l am not quite sure but certainly words to
that effect. I don't think the ;aid anything about the
*adroit.
You said she said she had taken it out of the basket again.
Was there any other conversation? I think not.
Witness—l think "rowers speaking upon religious subjects,
and I painted out to her the skis that were aggravated in
God's sight.
Mr. Cane —You say—" I was poietiog out to her the
sins which were aggravated in God's sight."
Witness—l was pointing oat° her the sin that was aggra-
vated in God's night. I never mentioaed the word murder
to hot, Decease she knew very well what I meant, and there
wee no amebae for me to do so.
Mr. Clarke—You said—" Ws were speaking upon reli-
gious subjects. mad I pointed out to her the ens that were
aggravated in God's sight." What sins were you pointing
out ?
Witness—l meant the murder, but I did not use the word.
I think I said to her all sins are aggravated in God's sight,
and then I put that question to bar.
Mr. Tommy you were mean( oil religious sub-
vects, and you pointed out to her the sins that were aggra-
ated in God's sight, and the sin you referred to was murder.
la that correct!
The Chairman—What wee she communication you refer
to that you bad with the prisoner?
Witness —1 tad her that Mr. Wagon had told me about
it, but I never used the word murder.
Tad Minima—What was the subject of conversation!
Witness—l think I said to her, "Did the child cry for
mercy.? She said it was asleep and that she carried it down
stairs asleep, and so on, as I stated before.
Mr. Clarke—Did she say what she did with the razor
Witness—No.
The Chairman—l think you might refresh your memory
on that point.
Mr. Cdrin—Will you try to remember the exact words
that took place previous to your asking her if the child cried
out for matey!
Witaus—Yes.
The Chairman—At that particular time was there any
other communication relative to the murder!
Witness—l think not.
Chairman—Rave you now stated all the convert ation
you had with her!
Witness—l think so.
