THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 14, 1867.

or carboys then on the premises. I had a new door made
at the request of Mr. Winslow. He wished it to be made
larger than the old one to enable him to get the casks in
and out. The door was very old so I consented. This was
on the ground floor. I received 201. for the rent, besides
the two received in advance. The letter produced I
received by post only about Novenber, 1866. It is not
dated. It is signed the same way as the agreement. I
believe it is written by the prisoner. The endorsement on
the back is in my own handwriting. [The letter was read
then.] I answered it, but got no reply. The letter was
to the effect of the prisoner giving up the premises. I took
possession about Dec., 1866. We forced the doors open; then
took possession. We had the new keys made. I sent
one of the persons and took possession of the premises
with Inspector Martin. I did not go into the cellars.
I went over the premises about six or eight
weeks ago. They had been left unexamined till
then. There was • carboy in the upper rooms and
some liquid like, petroleum. In consequence of what
heard I was suspicious of their object. I asked Inspector
Martin to go and remove it. I bad no idea what it was.
I requested Mr. Martin to search the place. I saw no gas,
and there was • door marked like a target, and supposed
to be perforated by the bullet-holes. That was on the
first floor. The room]was about half the size of this court,
and lay at the hack of the premises, and the room was, I
think, about :10ft. by 12ft.
Sir Thomas Henry—Do you wish to ask any questions,
Burke ?

Burke—l would propose to postpone the body of the ex-
amination till I can get legal advice. But I wish to ask
one or two questions now.

Sir Thomas Henry—You can do that.
Cross-examined by Burke—l did go on the premises with
you. The house was on let when you applied for it. It
wee on let about six months. It was let to a wood turner.
I think I first examined the house in December, 1866.
Inspector Martin was not with me then. I forted the
ground floor door open. I went into the upper
rooms, but I did not go into the cellar. They were very
dark. I saw the carboys when I first examined the house
in December, 1866. I presume they have removed the
petroleum. Ido not know whether the petroleum would
be used by the former tenants of the house in their Mod-
ena.

Burke—l suppose when I get legal advice I can call this
witness for cross-examination'

Sir Thomas Henry—Certainly. He shall have notice of
attendance.

Ferdinand Federici—l live at 5, Nortb.creaent, Bedford-
square. On the 2fith of January, the present year, two
persons came to lodge at my house. They occupied two
rooms on the second floor. They went by the names of
Coleman and Fletcher. The rooms had been taken
for them a few days previous by another person.
Fletcher stayed a fortnight, Coleman stayed five weeks and
a half. People came to see them while they were staying.
I went afterwards to Dublin and there saw Fletcher. I
was present at General Halpin's trial when he was con-
victed. He was the person who lived in my house
by the name of Fletcher. When those people
were stopping at my house I had a servant named Emma
Layton. She would be the person to let the visitors in and
out. Coleman used to pay nie for the rent.
Burke requested permission to postpone his examination
of this witness till he had procured counseL

Eliza Coppice—l live at 65 Norfolk-street, Bayswater.
In January I waa living at 137, Great Portland-street. I
was living with my father, mother, brother, and sister.
My father rented the house. In January this year I
remember a man coming to live there. He went by the
name of Farriola. Ho occupied the top room. The
rent was 15e. ; the parlour and bedroom communi-
cating. Another man need to come to the house, so
visit Fariola. I know him by the name of Farriola also.
I saw him in Dublin. I saw hun at the trial. He pleaded
guilty as Fariola. This person used to oome to our place
every morning. I had rented the lodgings for a month
or three weeks. The men used to stay till about 6 in the
evening. I think they were writing all day. Two other
men used also to come to visit them. (Massey was here
called into court.) I recognise Massey as one of the two
persons who used to come. The other was a tall, fair man.
Mr. Giffard—Please. witness, look at Sergeant Clarke.
Did you not tell him that you once swore the prisoner was
your man ?
Witness—l said I only believed.
Mr. Gifard—You have heard the prisoner speak ; do
you recognise the prisoner's voice ?
Witness—No.

Examination continued—l saw Corydon outside. I
spoke to him. I did not see Corydon and Winslow
together. I did not see the haversacks found, but I saw
them after they bad been found. There was a person
named Timothy Deasy who also lodged there. There was
also a Mr. Thomas Burke but I think not at the same
time. There was • Mr. Beecher who lodged there.
By Burke—lt is not unusual for us to have persons lodge
with us by the names of Winslow, 011ryan, &c. It was
the rule of the house for the lodgers to take their meals
together.
Mr. Miles Lambert—l kept a commercial hotel in Liver-
pool. I remember the person named Winslow as a
customer in 1866. The prisoner Burke is the man.
Neither of them gave any name. I let them in myself
several times. They always went into the parlour. I
never saw any other persons with the Farrioli,
except Mr. Casey, and the tall fair man. When the
man who first came to him with me left the
second Farriola (General Halpin) occupied the same room.
I think Massey visited him once. I am not certain.
Whenever they went out they locked the door and took
the key away with them.
Burke also wished to reserve cross-examir.ing this
witness._ _

Anne Lambert, wife of Miles Lambert, of 81, St. Anne's-
street, Liverpool, deposed—ln September, 1866, I kept a
commercial hotel at 40 and 41, Lord Nelson-street, Liver-
pool. Inspector Hall came and examined our place.
I cannot Fay that either of the pnsoners lodged
there. I cannot swear that the prisoner Burke lived at
our place. I don't believe that Burke is the man.
I say he is a little like a man who stayed at our place
about a fortnight. I thought it was the same man, but he
is so much altered.

After farther evidence Sir Thomu Henry remanded the
prisoners for • week. _ _ _

Casey on leaving the dock, expressed in the strongest
terms his abhorrence of the " come"—which is the ex-
pression he used—committed yesterday.
