TRE TRIAL OF BURKE, CASEY,
AND SHAW.-{THIS DAY.)

(Blurt Justice Keating and Baron Bramwell.)

The trial of Burke, Casey, and Shaw, was resumed at
IU o'clock this morning.

Amelia Tye, being examined by Mr. Giffard, Q.C., de-
posed—l lived at Mr. Kynock'm house at Birmingham, and
saw the prisoner Burke there. He first called there in
December, 1865, and Mr. Kynock being absent from home
!showed him some percussion caps which he wished to
see. He approved of them, and said be would call on the
following morning. He came next day and purchased a
large quantity. In the afternoon he went out with
Mr. Kynock, and in the evening he purchased
'2.30.000 caps and 40 revolvers, which I put into
a cue. Burke ordered them to be sent to Mr. Mullady,
64, George street. They were delivered by Mr. Kynock's
man, who brought hack the book signed. I think the
prisoner Show once brought a letter to Mr. Kynock, but I
would not swear to his identity. I saw Burke at Mr.
K)nock's several times. He was known by the name of
Winslow.

In cross-examination by Mr. Pater, the witness said
she did not know what bad become of the letter which
Mullady brought to Mr. Kynock.
George Kynock wu then examined by the Solicitor.
General. He said—l reside at Birmingham, and am a cap
and ammunition manufacturer. I also sell firearms. I
know Mr. Winslow (Burke) and Mullady, both of whom
I have seen atdmy place of business. The first purchase
Burke made from me was that of 2,000,000 percussion
caps and 2.50,000 revolver caps. The amount of the pur-
chuae was XV., which he paid in cash. I made out an
invoice, and gave it to him. I gave him a delivery
order on the manager of the London and
North Western Railway Company at Birmingham
for the percussion caps, which were then lying at
Curmn-street station. Burke afterwards bought revolvers,
and I went with him to Mr. in St. Mary's-road,
where we inspected some pistols. I purchased pistols from
Mr. Hill and other makers, and sold them to Burke. I
made out seven or eight invoices of goods altogether, end
to the best of my recollection the amount was 1,9701. The
payments were principally made in Bank of England nein..
I gave credit for the invoice of the rifles. The amount of
it was 081. I saw him every day, and was
on very friendly terms with him. I went to
his house in George-street. There was a large
plate on the door, on which the words, "E. C. Winslow,
merchant and commission agent" were engraved. I believe
I saw Casey there. He appeared to be only a workman.
I have seen Mullady at my aloe. I have occasionally
received letters from Burke, and have seen him write.
(Letters written by Burke to the witness were then read.
In one of them he expressed a wish to be furnished with a
list of prices of rifles, &c.)
Cross-examined by Mr. Jonee—Burke and I had fre-
quent conversations about his antecedents. I don't re-
member his saying that be bad taken up his residence for
some time in Chili.

Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—l was examined at the
police court on the 30th of December, and I then thought
that Cuey was the man who had peened under the name
of Malady. I also professed to have seen MuHedy several
tomes. I always had a doubt as to Casey's identity. I
have now no doubt about Casey.
Cross-examined by Mr. Pater—Had I not seen Shaw I
should have been under the impression that Casey
was the man who waited for Burke's letter.
When I saw Shaw at the police-court, I recognised him,
and found I had been mistaken with respect to Caney.
Wm. James Hill, a pistol maker, residing in St. Mary's-
road, Birmingham, corroborated that part of the evidence
of the last witness rilating to the purchase of pistols.
In cross-examination by Mr. Jones' be sad he under
stood that the pistols were to be sent to Chill.
Jules Whitehead deposed to having seen the prisoner
Caney at Burke's offices in George-street-parade.
BD. Day, a house-agent, residing In Birmingham, stated
that Burke rented premises in George-street-parade, on
the representation that he belonged to a mercantile flrm
in New York. He paid the Brat quarter's rent in advance.
The thinl quarter the. prisoner suddenly left without giving
notice. On regaimug possession of the hones witness
found • carboy, from which there was the smell of
petroleum. He also found a door which bore bullet and

;12.11c m:rke7and appeared to have been used as
target.
In croucsamination by Mr. Jones, witness admitted
fusing started to the magistrate that he did not know
whether the carboy was in the premises when Burke took
pouenion of them.
Mr. Mansell, a member of the Birmingham detective
force. produced a plate which he had taken off the door
of lturkv's offices and which bore the following Edwd.
e. Winslow, Commission Agent and General Merchant."
He further stated that in the cellar of the house he found
sertul jam containing a liquid, the nature of which he
did not kuow.
In reply to Mr. Ernest Jones, he said be believed the
livid was used in polishing the stocks of rifles.
The foreman of the "order shed" at Curzon-street
station. Birmingham, proved the delivery at that station
of ...cods consigned by Mr. Kynock, of Birmingham, to
E (ward C. Winslow, at Park-lane station, Liverpool, to
await order."
The looker at Park-lane station, Liverpool, proved
the delivery of twenty CMOs on Dec. 29,1865. The freight
W.. node out from the order (produced)... The signature
in the delivery book was " W. Laurence.'
Mr. Kynock identified the order as being in Burke's
handwriting.
Willi.= Emery, the checker et Curzon-street station,
Eirudngham, produced consignment notes which accom-
panied cues sent to the station. One of the sotto did not
bear the addrus of the sender, and he asked it from the
limn who brought the note. He identified Casey as being

Mr. Knock stated that the notes were in Barka's
lcuidwriting, and bore the sig: "E. C. Winslow."

forwarded to Park-tans Station,
said
In answer to Mr. Lewis, be said that Casey was in his
sighs for about twenty minutes or half an hour on the day
on which he brought the note. Heated never seen him

hear that, on the 29th of December, 1865, Gorey was in
unploT of the Ileum Piektord. There were such
'tr 'nice thin taking place now, that one might believe
bay thing. (laughter.)
