THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 30, 1849.

Prisoner: HOW long did you see thee's% before you were
Bred at I—Witness : As I saw them the man scot at me.
Primate: Did Ise take one or two hands io Mad them ?
Witte's : I shish MN hand
I Aeon's, : What deseript;ou did you first eve bel.:se the
magistrate as to your belief that I was the men /—Witnese :
The width et your shoulders and your middle height led me
to that ballet. I could not me the sasn's fees, but I saw his
hair. I bare mid peerionzlY that I knew You by your had
mad shoulders.
Prisoner—Now, I ask you solemnly before Ood, how you
an swear to my hair, when you previously said you mill
saw say heed.—Witness: I said I saw yoar head and
shoulders, and if I saw your head I must have seen your
hair.
Cross-examination continued—Miss Jermy_passed meatier
I was wounded. I first saw the wig that Mobbersty, the
pollee superintendent, put on about a week before the emend
examistatioe.
Bosh here stopped putties any (other questions to her,
and she was then removed out of court in the same way she
had been eon/acted thither. Notwithstanding the precarious
condition of the. poor girl, she gave her evidencein a very
ury alter and cosele manner. The prisoner displayed but
little feeling during her examination. Towards the lAN the
positive evidence of the witness, as to hie identity, evidently
had considerable effect upon him, and, for a time, he seemed
to have lost the composure be had evinced in the early part
of thl day in conducting his defence.
The neat witness milled was
Margaret Bead, who was examined by Mr. Evan—ln
November last I was housekeeper to Mr. Jersey, at Stanfield-
hall. I bad been there about five months at that time. On
the 28th November I was in the servants' hell there. I
heard the report of a gun; that wee about half-pest 8 o'clock ;
soon afterwards I heard another; the second was inside the
hoses. I then heard a noise, like the rustling of • cloak.
That appeared to come from the aide door,—that is, the
outer door. After Bliss Chutney left' the servant' ball
heard another discharge. It was almost immediately after-
wards I went to the servants' hall door. When I got into
the passage I sew Miss Jenny run into the servants ball • I
then saw a men wain down the ;Mine towards me. Me
had fire-arses in his right band. They appeared to me
to be larger than the Neal sized pistols. Me had on
a cloak, but I am not sure whether there was
a caps to it or not ; the men was a short, stout
sea. I have often seen Rash at the ball. The man
was of the height, and size, and carriage of Rush. The mo-
ment I saw him I knew It was Rush. That is my impres-
sion still. Miss Jersey and I tau out of the servants' ball
into the stable. I did not see by what means the man went
oat.
Cressczamined by Reek : I saw Emily Sandford the next
day. I had no sonvereation with her except that she asked
for • ems at water. I saw her in the cook's pantry at Stan-
fleid.hall. I did not see her in the butler's pantry, nor in
any other room of the house. She was several hours in my
pantry
wareneml. o there nly

saw her. I don't know if she bad anything else in that pan-
try except the water I pve ker. I saw her yesterday, hav-
ing called upon her. Ido not remember that I have net
sees her at any other time. Probably I smelter at Wymond-
ham Bridewell • I cannot recollect.
Rash : My bed, her statements are at variance with those
which were made before the coroner at his inquest.
The Judge—Ton can have the depositions read if you
like.

Bush—lf you please.
The clerk of the wort read the depositions before the ma-
gistrates and the mow, ar d the crowaxamination was
proceeded with.
Witness proceeded to eay—There was time to go up stairs
sad back again between the first and @mad shots ; I stated
that before the coroner, but not before the magistrates. I
do not know the meaning of the word " interne." I
never make use of it. (The word " intervene " occurs in the
depositions taken before the coroner.) The laundry-
_maid,
housemaid, and kitchen-maid, were absent from the hall on
the evening
.af the murder. I went to the Ledge alter the
murder. Kw Jermy was with me. The man I saw in the
age was walking quick. The man had not reached the
back stairs when I fin 4 saw him, but he had before I lost
sight of him. On my oath I have not stated differently.
The distance from s beck stairs to the purge is but a
few feet, perhaps about 20. Re was about two yards beyond
the foot of the stairs when I lost sight of him. I cannot tell
whether it was a short gun or a long pistol the man bad in
his hand. I was not els:mined by any one on the night of
the murder. I was not examined till I went to Bridewell.
I found no pieces of lesd in the hall at the time of the mur-
der. I saw the cloak on you at Bridewell, and it did not
come below the knee. When I saw it mi you in the passage
it cams below the knee.

hash when did you first disoorer that I carried my head
on one side ?

li'itniss.—Whan you cam backwards and forwards to our
boon.

Rush.—Did you tell any one before the day of the =ado
lat I carried sty head on one side ?
Witness.—No, not that I reoolleet.
Rush.—When did you first make that statement ?
Wititem—l don't know

Cross-examination continued—l cannot write my name. I
cannot my whether the cloak I saw on you (the prisoner) at
Dridewell was the same I saw on the man in the pump. I
have never heard that you had circulated pamphlets about
the late Mr. Jenny. I did not know you had been to law.
I know there were some disagreements between you and my
late muter.

Rs-examined by Mr. Evans—The man who fired the
pistols carried his head on one aide.
Mr. William Nicholls, of Norwich, surgeon, was the next
witness examined. On the 28th November I was sent for to
thaefield-hall. I saw the bodies of Mr. Jenny, sen., and
Mr. Jermy, jun. Mr. Jenny, Mn., was wounded en the left
breast. The charge had passed through the entire body of
the heart. The shot was lodged in the muscular part of the
beet. I took out several portions of lead. They were
angular pieces. I gave that shot to Mr. Dannelly. I
examined the body of the younf Mr. Jenny. His was a
i small wound about half an nch diameter on the right brsut.
It paged through his neck first. I found the shot. It was
precisely the same as that I found in the body of Mr. Jenny,
sen. The wounds were such as would cause immediate
death. Besides the lead,l found in the lungs of Mr. Jermy,
ten., some paper resembliog cartridge paper. I think it is
the covering of a cartridge.
Croat-examined by Rush—l think I took from ten to a
dozen portions of lead from each body. I have never said I
gave all the pieces to Mr. Tunnelly.
Rush—My lord, I am sorry to waste time, but I must have
the depositions in this cave also.
The depositions taken before the magistrate and coroner
were then put in and read, but there appeared to be no
difference between them and the statements of the witness in
his examination in chief.

Crom-ezernination continued—Some pieces of lead Were
found in the hall on the night of .he murder. I have seen
shots fired from guns and they are not always angular. My
impression is that I have seen round shots after being fired
off. I have *Ran seen a cartridge, and I think a cartridge
tired from a gun would be similar to that I have produced.
Rickard Tunnelly, surgeon of Wynivadham, examined by
Mr. Prendergsat.-1 made an examination of the bodice of
Mr. Jersey and Mr. Jassy, Jun., on Nov. 30. Mr. Jersey,
sea., was wounded in the heart b a gun shot. That was
quite saddest to occasion death. I have some pieces of lead
that were found in the body of the elder Mr. Jermy. I took
some shot from the body of the younger Mr. 'any, five
please. The pieces taken from each body appeared to be of
the same kind. They were all irregular angular pieces of
lead.

orese-onmined by Rush—l arrived at Standsld-hall
about 10 o'clock on the night of the murder. Ido not know
how many phi's of lead I have bad in my possession at one
time. Other pieces were taken out of the bodies, but I have
not preserved them all. lam *edified that there are many
more pieces in the bodies which we did not take out. I have
not swots that I took eight or ten pieces from Mr. Isaac
Islay. I have no doubt that as many pieces were taken

Ruch—)[y herd, I must have the depositions read.
The Ju4te—Really this is very irregular, and I don't see
what useM end it can answer.
Rush-0, I don't think so.
The Judge—Well, then, let them be reed.
The Clerk of the Court read the depositions lakes before
the coroner.
Cross-exaaination continued—l cannot tell what became
of the other pieces. I know nothing of those, except those I
produce. Many more pieces than those produced were takes
out of the bodies. The two pieces I produee were taken
from the body by me. The pieces Mr. Nicholls gave me I
put on the table or sideboard. Thome I produce did not go
out of my hands.
Rush—l wish, my herd, to ascertain, what has been dons
with the, other pieces, and whether they all lay together in
the body ?
The Judge—The witness cannot tell you that, sad if he
could It would be quite unimportant.
Rush—When you have seen shot fired at game, for in.
stance, have you ever seen it round ? Witness: Yes.—
Rush : Oa your oath before Ood do you say that ? Wit-
ness: Yee.
The Judge—l do not see what is the object of such an
is wry material, in connexion with certain other
evidence that will be brought before the court.
The Judge.—Oh, then, very well ; if you think it material,
go on.
Crosoexamination continued.—l haveseen shot round after
having been tired. I have not heard of any evidence that
Emily Sandkrd is about to give.
On a witness named being called, Rash said he
had been proneked the dapositiens in that case more than a
week, and had .at get them. Re bilged his lordship would
not allow him te be exaselned at
Tbe Judge.—Ciertainly not, those circumetances.
At Ave minutes pest seven, the molt adjourned until to-
morrow (this) morning.
