" This (Saturday) man* at Ave o'alock, I went to
Imeley'a brick-field, and I watched Emma. I was pre-
test* te be picking herbs, and betimes eight and nine
o'clock, I saw Maims come out of his hous go to a shed or
ruin about 50 yards in front of his house, also in the field,
bring out • parcel, and take it indoors, where be remained
about 10 minutes. He appeared to look about him, to see if
be was being watched. He tame oat spin with a smaller
parcel, about the Watt of • pint pot, and went to the abed,
where he remained about two minute.; and came out again
without the parcel, and went indoors." I said," What do you
think the parcel contained? Mullins said, " I do 't know ;
I'll show you exactly the shed where be her pet it." I then
arranged for him to meet us in Scotland-yard oa
Sunday morning, when I would send • sergeant
for him, which was dome. He then said, " Now, don't go
without me." I said, " No, Mullen, no advantage shall
be taken of any information you giv•-yee shall have the
benefit of it." He then said, "I will take care cf you if
it comes off right " He was understood te anode to the re-
ward offered. On the following morning Thereto" Thorn*
myself, and Mulleus went to Erosley's briadields. I had
told Thornton the statement Mullen/ had made. Mullein
was left at the extremity of the field, in ceder that we
might send for him if we wanted him. Thornton told
Emma what we bed bees informed of. Emma denied it,
and maid that he was not out of bed until 9 o'clock that
morning, being unwell, and that Thornton might seed to
ask his wife the facts before he saw her. I went tome Mrs.
Emma, and she told me that be was not up until 9 o'clock
on Saturday morning, and that he did not go out until 10
o'clock or later. I went to • abed
msZd out by Mullets,
which was filled with all aorta at so much so that we
could sot then make a search. Melissa appeared
in the field about SO yards ail, and Mr. Thanatos directed
me to go to him arid spook to him. Mamas said, " You
have not half searched that
_place • have you found any-
thing r He added, "Coma, PEI altar you when I think it
is put." I said "But the plies is full d lumber ; I don't
think there is anything there." He again wished to go with
me to the shed. I mid, No ; BEMs don't know that you
are the informant, and we don't want him to know at pre-
sent." We walked towards the shed-myself and Mullein.
We halted about four yards opposite the door. Mullen
said, " Look, now ; go into that place ; pull down that
slab at the Ride of the wall, and turn up those
bricks." On hearing that I withdrew, with Mal-
loin, away from the abed. I said to Sergeant Thomas,
I Oo and pull down that stone slab near to the wall,
and look behind it." I had told Mullane to go and
' wait for me at the Rising Sun before the parcel wee
found. Thomas did pull down the stone, and he
found the parcel. I saw Thome hand to Mr. 'Thornton •
piece of paper out of the parcel. Thornton opened it in
Emma's presence, and Emma said, " Good heavens, it is
Pickering's cheque, paid to the old lady on the day of the
murder. I don't understand it-this is • wicked and cruel
plot." Mullein was fetched back into the field. When
there Mullane said, " Have you found anything'" I said,
" Thomas has found something." Mullets said, " Have
you found any money!" and I replied " I can't say
now." Thornton desired me to take him to the intim,
where he was charged ea suspicion of the murder. I
watched him and found on him a handkerchief, a portmon-
naie, • shilling, a sixpence, a silver coin, a memorandum.
book, and spectacles. I desired him to take off his shoes.
One of his shoe, was tied with waxed string. I have com-
pared it with the wax string with which the parcel was tied
found by seant Thorom, and it appears to correspond. I
then proced to Ni, ilarnsley.itreet, Bethnal-green, to •
room occupied there by Mullen,. In that room I found
this piece of tape (produced), corresponding exactly in make
with that with which the parcel was also tied. (The tape
was of a peculiar character, and consisted of three pieces
tied together.)
By Mr. Young-Any one might have put the parcel be-
hind the slab without going into the shed.
Mulleos-Did I not tell you that when Emma went into
the shed he stooped!
Witnese-No, I don't recollect, but you may have said so.
You said he remained in about two minutes.
Mullets-Yes,. that is right. Do you recollect, Mr.
Thornton, that I said Erna/ stooped ?
Mr. Thornton--No • Ido not. (The officer repeated that
porticos) of his evidence.)
Mr. Young-Than is a reward offered, I believe.
Tanner-Yes, 300,-
Sert Thomas add-Yesterday morning I went to No.
17, m-street, Chelsea, where I saw the prisoner
Masan. I beckoned to him, and he followed me into
the Brompamemed. While waiting for an omnibus
Massa said, "Thomas, I took you for Tenter ; you know
lam very clever in these matters. I have been working
very hard day and night to discover the murderer of Mrs.
Rowley, and I believe I have found him out." I said,
" Whom do you inspect!' and he sail, "The man Emma,
who gave evidence on the coroner's inqueet ; he is the man
who is suspected of the murder- no one had • better oppor-
tunity of getting into the house-awl he was in the habit of
going there with sums of money, and would be admitted by
Mrs. briny." I said to him, " Mullein, would she admit
you" He said, "Oh is', she would answer me oat of the
window, or up the area." We then went to Scotland-yard,
and proceeded in a cab to Bethnal-green. On the way I
said to Mullen;" What sort of • parcel was it you saw him
take into the washbouse ?" Ho jumped up on the cab,
palled out his handkerchief, and made up the tort of parcel
he said be saw Emma take. We then proceeded to the
I*kt-field where Emma was. The witneas proceeded to
describe the search behind the flag-stone, as detailed by the
previous witneinee la the parcel he found four spoons and
other article. tied up. There was in it • piece of white
paper folded up, which he foiled to be the cheque alluded
to. He (witness) had been to Mullens' lodgings in Bru-nsley-
I street, where he found a piece of wax and • piece of Anne,
similar to what wax-ends are made of.

By Mr. Young—The slab was close to the entrance. The
parcel was placed between the slab and the brick wall, and
might bare been pet there by any person without going in.
Sergeant Dillon, IC 19, proud the finding of the body on
the 17th ult., at No. 9, Grove-road. He found the deceased
lying on her left aide with her bead against the doorpost,
on which were two dente one near her and another higher
up. The room was "Imbed with blood, and there were
marks of blood on the lauding.
The Magistrate said be 'mild not go into those particulars
that day, as there mast be a remand.
Mr. Young applied that the prisoner Emma might be ad.
matted to bail.
The Magistrate—l see no reason why I should not admit
Emma to bail, if the officers hare no objection.
Inspector Thornton said be had not the slightest ob-
jectice.
Mr. Young said he should propose as bail Mr. Henry
Gordo's, of 84, High Holborn, bootmaker.
Mr. Gordon was called forward.

The Magistrate—Me Gordon, are you worth 200 f. after
all your debta are paid?

Under these circumstances his bail was taken, and the

Rth inst. Emma left the court in company with his friends,
and much sympathy for him was expressed by the crowd
which had assembled in the streets.

- The prisoner Mullen. ;VlCdetermined, intelligent-
looking Irishman, about 50 years of age, with milady whis-
kers arid light brown hair. hie is supposed to bete man
who waa sitting on the swim as spoken to by one of the
witnesses at the inquest. He wore a black frock coat and •
waistcoat of lighter material, which was spattered with
mortar. He fixed his eyes earnestly on the witnesses as
they gave their evident= and durMg nearly the whole time
be was in the dock his face bore a deadly paleness Some
partials of the 'widow= especially the discovery of the
string and the taps at his lodgings, seemed for • moment to
startle him.
The active police-officers who have charge of the ease
hare from the int suspected him, but they had no MOW
of bringing home the crime to him. They knew that he
had two lodgings, one at Chelsea and one at Bethnal-green,
and that he slept at Bethnal-green on Friday night for the
first time since the murder, in order, as they believed, to
carry out the plot against Emma which has led to his own
detection.

phreys, the coroner for Bag Middlesex, and the jury peril-
