FURTHER EXAMINATION OF BURKE AND
CASEY AT DOW-STEEET.-(THIS DAY.)

The prisoners Burke and Caaeywere againbrought
before Sir Thomas Ileary this morning.
Mr. Giffard and Mr. Poland, instructed by the Tram",
solicitor, appeared for the prosecution.
Mr. 'Merriman said that his firm (Merriman and Buck-
Lard) had just been instructed for the defence, but he had
k. recently received those instructions that he was wholly
unprepared to do anything as yet. He had not yet retained
counsel.

Sir Thomas Henry mid the ease must go on. It could
not b ar.tin delayed. The cross-examination might be
Mr. itfard here observed that it would be convenient if
a time was fixed for the crost-examination, if any was in.
tont&
sir Thomas Henry said Mr. Merriman could instruct
comaed to cross-examine at the next hearing.
Mr. Merriman would rather eounael should 6x a time.

Sir Thomas Heury—You shcnld intimate that it must
be at the neat hearing ; strictly speaking counsel ought
to cro.-caamine at the time. The delay is inconvenient
because no one can tell what points are disputed.
William Greening—l live in Steelhouse-lane, Binning.
ham. In December, 1865, I was in the employ of Crowley
and Co., carriers. I have with me a delivery sheet. I
had this sheet 29th December, kts, and loaded the vans,
but whether I delivered them or not I don't remember. His
usual for the person receiving goods to sign a receipt on
that sheet. There is a signature here which would not be
unless the goods had been delivered. They were for 24,
lteorge•street Parade. They were 25 cases marked "E"
in a diamond.

Thomas Wakeman—l am foreman of the order shed at
Corwestreet railway station, Birmingham. Goods are re
ceived at that station waiting orders. I remember on the
day after Christuuseday, 1865, a man coming to me about
cases from Mr. Kylock. I remember it on account of the
gentleman having to wait so long, as the ledger clerk who
should have attended to him was out on his holiday-
I have got • transfer order relating to twenty
eases laying at the order of Kylock and Co. I re-
ceived ten cases on the 13th, and ten on the Istb,
December. The transfer order is to hand them over to
Winslow. They are marked " F. D." in a diamond. (Order
read.) The gentleman who came down ordered them
away, and I sent them away on the 27th December to
Park-lane, Liverpool. I produce the carriage note. (Note
read.) I think I should know the gentleman again. Upon
the authority produced the goods were sent off on the 27th.
I produce the original delivery orders received from
Kylock. The carriage note produced would show the
numbers by which they want to Liverpool. They were
forwarded on the 27th of December.

William Amory—l am a checker employed on the
London and North Western Railway at Birmingham
station. I produced a consignment order of the 28th and
2.nh. I received the goods mentioned in the order, and
checked them. I received eight cases marked in a dia-
mond, sad they were sent to Park-street, Liverpool, to
E. C. Winslow. Ido not produce a carriage note. I only
posies' the two consignments. One of these is not yet
come. It was the first I received ; it stated no name of
the sender. He gave hie address George-street, Parade.
George Stokely, an invoice clerk at the Curzon-street
railway station. stated that in January he was a clerk
there, and produced a transfer order relating to twelve
easel, marked " P.W.D.," to be sent to the Waterloo
railway station, Liverpool, to the order of E. C. Winslow.
They were checked and forwarded.

Mr. Amory recalled—l identify the prisoner Casey as
one of the men that I met at the station about the goods I
have spoken of. I had a good opportunity of seeing
him.

To Mr. Merriman—l am sure the prisoner is the man.
I don't know his name. I had never seen him before to
my knowledge. He was about half an hour on the ground.
I could not say bow long be was under my eye. Perhaps
be might have been out of my sight a quarter of an hour
of that time, and under my eye about the other quarter.
To Mr. Giffard—l have no doubt about his being the
man. The particular goods I signed for for the prisoner
Casey are those referred to in the order produced.
James Noreodd,a checker at the Great Northern Railway,
Cannon-street, deposed that on the 9th January, 1866. he
received 12 cans marked " 8 K " in a diamond, and
" W "in the corner, to await the orders of Winslow.
Thomas Barker was in January, 1816, a checker at the
same station, and that on the Bth of that mouth received
twelve eases marked " W RB" in a triangle. The con-
signment note produced is signed E. C. Winslow,
the goods to be forwarded to Liverpool to his order—and
on the 11th of Jan. twelve more, marked "0 S" in a
diamond, with • W under also to be forwarded to Liver-
pool to Winslow's order. Both consignments were for.
warded accordingly.
Joseph Burrower, clerk at the Waterloo station, Liver-
pool, explained the mode of transacting business in
delivering goods at that office, and proved the delivery of
the eases referred to by the above witnesses. The goods
were made out to the order of Winslow. The crane -book
is signed R. Lawrence. S. P. Hatchell is the supposed
address the goods were taken to.
Matthew rL rin, another servant of the company,proved
that he saw the person who took the goods sign the name
" R. Lawrence" in the crane book for three of the con-
signments, and take the goods away in a cart.
By Mr. Merriman—Don't see Mr. Lawrence here. Can-
not my that either of the prisoners is the man. Cannot
my that neither of them is the man. Cannot say that
I should recognise him if I saw him. I don't think I
should. There was nothing particular to notice as
the marks wear similar to those used by the best firms in
Birmingham and Liverpool, and the goods were delivered
in the ordinary way.
Henry Leather, James Lockett, and Samuel Marriott,
also employed at the Waterloo station, gave similar evi-
dence with regard to other consignmeats.
Marriott, being much praised in cross-examination by
Mr. Merriman as to whether he could swear that either of
the prisoners was the man who took the goods away, said
that he thought the prisoner Burke was the man.
Francis Sheridan—ln March last I was a sergeant in the
Dublin metropolitan police. I was on duty, In charge of
three constables, on the 4th March, at the village of Alit-
town, which is about 24 miles from the General Post.
office. I went on duty at 9 o'clock at night, and about 12
o'clock we met a body of armed men, about 700 or 800
about iOO with pikes and revolvers, and the others
with Enfield rifles and bayonets. They disarmed
we and the constables and marched us off at the
point of the bayonet. They were marching four
deep in military array, and commanded by • man
named Lennon. They proceeded to a place called " Step-
aside," about four miles from the metropolis, and beyond
the district. There Is a constabulary barrack there.
Lennon went with some others to the barrack door,
knocked and dernauded that it should be opened
and surrendered in the name of the Irish Republic.
They tired several volleys through the door, and
window', and every place they could get a shot. The
door was broken in and the place was set en fire. They
broke the door open with a sledge and took the constables
out of the house. There were four constables and a ser-
geant I think. They took away all the arms and accoutre-
ments, and I saw some of them putting them on. We
then marched to Glencullen, which is about eight
miles from Dublin. The insurgents again called on thecon-
stabulary to surrender in the name of the Irish Republic.
They fired, and the constabulary returned the lire from
within. It continued for about an hour and a half. One
of the insurgents was shot by me, and was afterwards
apprehended. They got into the barrack and took away
the arms and ammunition. The sergeant from Stepuide
was sent to parley, and to state that if the men in the
barrack would give up the arms and acoontrements the
insurgents would release the constables they bad prisoners,
and allow them to enter; which was done.
Sir Thomas Henry—Yon were exchanged for the arms!
Witness—Yes. when that exchange was effected they
marched away with the arms, he.

Daley and Co.. 84, Grand Parade, Cork. I had the cue
put on one side and fetched Courtenay, my brother
constable. We went to the store. The case was opened
is my presence, and was found to contain rifles.
Mr. Hamilton was then sent for. I believe Constable
Courtney went for him. The case had been fastened
down, but we opened it agsin when Mr. Hamilton came.
I handed him a ride, which he examined. He put it
back in the cue, and the case was fastened up again.
APer some further proceeding's,
Mr. Gifford mid that was all the evidence he was pre-
Masi to offer to.dny.
Mr. Merriman said the prisoners at the bar wished it
to be understood that he appeared only for then, and not
in anywise for the others, whose acts they now again most
mini* disclaimed.
