Hathyrusy, lately president of the Hungarian ministry, ace
from Count Ciudmir, now in the field in daises of the Wei- I

ADJOURNED INQLJEST.—MES.THE EVIDENCE OF
Di !CS. JA
Before entering into the details of the evident*
adduced before the coroner's jury after the despatch of our
parcel on Tuesday night, it is necessary to state that the
secret proceedings of the magistrates and the corooer having
led to the promulgation of the most unfounded statements,
the representatives of the various newspapers made a forma
application to the magistrates to be placed in a position to
correct the inaccuracies, and were refused in the most posi-
tive manner ; the magistrates declining to state their reasons
for adopting this unusual course. Shut out of the Bridewell
by the coroner, and thus forbidden to take the evidence of
the most important and prominent witness, the widow
James, the reporters were compelled to adopt the best mesas
in their power of ascertaining its value, and with little diffi-
culty our reporter obtained a note of her evidence. This
hrcibly shows the extreme folly of &Tempting to keep pri-
vate important proceedings in which the public are so deeply
intended.
Mn. James, on the jury assembling in the board-room et
the Bridewell, was brought in by the matron, and having
been accommodated with a seat (being enceinte), was en.
*mined nearly as follows : " My name is Emily James, and
I have been living at Potash farm as Mr. Rush's house-
keeper. I have acted in that capacity fur the last three
weeks. On Tuesday evening, the 28th ult., Rush agreed
with me to go to Madame Duleken'e cutout at Norwich
seven milee distant), and ordered an early tea. I got myself
to accompany him, when shout five o'clock he CMS
home and said, ' I don't think I shall go to Norwich now.
for I don't feel ve"y well. Do you mind going, because, if
you particularly wish it, we'll go.' I said • I had no wish to
go,' and after some further conversation it was agreed we
should remain at home. The tea was prepared about six,
and we chlayedl over. it until eight o'clock, when Rush got
up and said, ' I want to go out fora short time ; and as he
was leaving the room I said,' You had better not, as you'll
increase your cold.' He made no answer, and went
to the back kitchen, and thence up stairs to hie bedroom-
end after remaining some few minutes he came down and
went oat. The door not fastening properly he said, " Emily,
Nue and fasten this door." I went and closed it. I did
MK ISO how he wu dressed. I did not s.• him at all, as he
held the door outside so close as to prevent me seeing him.
I am not positive u to the exact time he went out, but it
was somewhere about eight o'clock. I retired to the sitting!
rum, amiss soon m I had cleared away the tea-things I
semmeneed reeding a novel, and about nine o'clock I heard
Ruh return to tie door. It was fastened. lie knocked
with his knuckles, and I went and unfastened it. lie paused
malside for a moment or so. I said "It is undone." He
made some reply. I returned to the sitting-room, and after
remaining at the door probably a minute he came in and
went direct up stain to his bedroom, saying as he passed
the door of the room, " Yon had better go to
bed." He went 'up stairs in the dark, and I
heard him immediately loth his door. (A juror
i•op do kil if he was in the habit of locking his bedroom door,
bat the Coroner declined receiving the answer, it net being
evidence.) Not having a light when I unfastened the door.
I (mould not see how he was dressed. I did not see hint, for,
as I walked into the sitting room, he followed behind, and
proceeded hastily up to his room. He kept patent wan
tapers in his room, and could procure a light at his pleasure.
In about five minutes he came down stainin his shirt-sleeves,
having his coat off. He looked in at the sitting-room door,
sad add, " What a large fire you have got ; take the head
off and put it out." I saw he was agitated, and looked very
pale. I remarked to him, "Is there anything the
matter with you. ? " He said, " Nothing," and turned
his face away. After a pause he aid, "If any one
oaks you about me, say I was not out more than
10 minutes." He then went up stairs to his bedroom, and
I having quenched the fire with a can of water, also went
to my own bedroom, which adjoins Rush's. When I
was about half undressed, I heard Rush unlock his door
and go down stairs without his shoes. He went very quietlf
and I could hear him as if he was feeling his way down. 1
deal know whether he took a light with him, or for what
he went down. He might have been down two or
=inutes. I heard him come back and go into his room
again. I arum: my if he went out. I don't know if he
opened the front door. I did not hear it opened. I heard
nothing more until the following morning. About 6 o'clock
I heard a bell ring, a rather unusual circumstance.
Heard Savoy say, " Master, come to the window." Rush
opened the window, and said something I could not hear.
Afterwards he said," I'll be down directly." I opened the
door, and called down stairs, " What's the matter ? " He
said, " There's something up at Stanfield-hall." I got up,
dressed myself, and went down stairs. Saw the police had
Rush in custody, He said, "They suspect me for the mur-
ders of the two Mr. Jermvs." He was handcuffed ; and look-
ing down at the handcuffs he said, " I don't like these." I
asked Rusk tithe chem.-matt had some. He replied" No."
Soon afterwards the police took him away. He was not in
the habit of wearing a cloak. Never saw masks or pistols in
the house.
A labourer named Stubbs was eramintd, who had been in
the late Mr. Jump's employment for the but seven years. He
stated that on the thy after the auction ore the Stanfield-hall
farm (when a distress had been put in by the deceased
against the effects of the prisoner), he head the elder Mr.
Jenny say to the latter, "Come, Mr. Rush, let us go in
and settle our business without lawyers. I don't like law-
yers at all. Rush said, " I will bring that fellow Clarke
hMr. Jenny's solicitor) to his recollection," weaning "to
is senses." Mr. Jermy added, " I hate lawyers; they aro
just like we barristers in London. They quarrel all day, and at
night they have dinner and wine together, and shake hands."
This witness further deposed that a trial took place between
Mr. Jenny and Mr. Rush last spring about a breach, of
eovenant, when a verdict was returned against Rush, with
Mg. damages. He had heard Mr. Jermy say that he and
Mr. Ruth could not agree as to the Potash farm. This w
ness angers to have participated in the general apprehe it-
nrion
whiskies been entertained for some years past in the tooth-
beuthood, that Ru,h was a man who would not shrink from
sesentithag wens desperate deed to attain his ends or satisfy
his revenge ; and he states that he warned Mr. Jermy to
beware of Rush shortly before the murder. Stubbs deposed
that about a fortnight since, be said to Mr. Jenny,
"If I were you, I would not allow Mr. Rush on my
premises after dark." The witness continued —" I
would not speak to him after dark if I were you,, or
I Pink, one day or another, he will do you some serious
' Stubbs was asked by the coroner how he came
to entertain so singular a presentiment, or, what
semen he bad for giving the deceased gentleman so singular
a caution. He replied, " I don't know hew I came to
guse
such an expression, but the thing was impressed ely
on my mind. I thought at different times that Mr. Ruth
would do him a serious injury. I knew Rush
cling exis was sated t!!
l agl
about the distress, and that a good deal of fe
his mind towards Mr. Jenny in cmsequence of the distress.
It does not appear that the deceased Mr. Jenny attached
any importance to the prediction of his servant, or that he
