place and saw three dead bodice, those el the two boys and

body. The prisoner said to me, " Oh, policeman ; here le •
eight ; what shall Ido '" He stepped towards me, and I
told hint to go and dress himself. He had on his night-
shirt at this time, and I noticed that the right sleeve was
torn sad the wristband was banging upon the back of hie
boat The primmer told me that his mother had done it
all, at the enre time that he said, "Oh, policeman ; here's
• siht." He AP said, " I wtruck my mother, bat it was in
self' iisfasee—weeld not you have done the same ?" He
added, " That is kw."
Mr. James Dam, an impactor of the P division of police,
said he west to tbebassearompanied by • constable named
Lack, and saw the prisoner standing on the landing of the
second floor, and he told him it was his mother's doing. She

ing. killed his brother, and made • stab at him, and in his
own defence he wrenched the knife from her hand and
killed her, if she was dead. The constable Lack prated to
the body of the deceased, and asked the prisoner if that
young woman was lying there at the time be killed his
mother ! The prisoner hearted • little, and then said he
did not know. At this time three bodies were lying oe the
landing. Thomas was lying with his head close to the top
of the stairs, on his back. He was in his night-shirt, and bar
right leg was • little drawn up. Thera was a good deal of
blood near him. The young woman, Mary Streeter, was
lying on the landing with her head inside the doorway of
the hack room. The body was lying on the right side.
She was also in her night-dress, and she had no
slippers or anything on bet feet. Close by her hand
there was • great deal of blood, and it had flowed
into the room under the bed. The body of the prisoner's
mother was also upon the landing, with her face down-
y wants and close to the thigh of the young woman, and her
shoulder rested firm!7~ uppoon her body. 'rhe older woman
was also in bee nighidreas and without anything on her
Sit There was a great deal of blood close to her radar
and it bad spread for a considerable distance. Upon
into the front room witness saw the body of the
youngest child lying upon the bed outside the bedclothes
and quite dead. The body was lying on the right side, and
the feet were towards the bead of the bed. The bed-clothes
were soaked through with blood. There was no pool of
blood in any. part of the floor of this room, but blood ap-
peared to have been trodden into the floor by the foot of a
grown-up person. Upon examining the lad I.
the bask room witness discovered some snares of
blood r though wiped off some person's halide.
" There was no pool of blood about this bed, but some blood
' appeared to have been trampled about the boor of the
room, besides the flow of blood that bad gone through the
door. Witness observed that both the prisoner's hands and
feet were bloody, and his night-shirt was also very blooity,
lie did not see any wound upon the prisoner, and he did
not complain of being out or wounded. On the same day

longing to the prisoner, and found in it the policy of as-
surance upon the life of the deceased, which he produced.
