THE DitOYIADEN Muls.DErt.—At the Ashton-
under-Lyne county petty eessimm, on Wednesslay,Timothy
Faherty was brought up for further examination on the
charge
_of having wilfully murdered Mary Hanmer, at
Droybilen, oa the 25th ult. Mary Brodrick, a widow.
living in Moorceoft-street, said that the deceased, who way
believed to be about thirty-six years of age, and Was a
slubbing.tenter, lodged with her. On Christmas-day wit.
nem left her house at about a quarter or half-past two
o'clock. When she returned, about two hours afterwards.
she found her house full of people. In consequence of
what her daughter said, witness went upstairs, and found
Mary Haunter there. She was lying on the door, and
the prisoner was supporting her with one of his arms under
her neck. She was covered with blood, and there was
blood on the floor. Witness asked the prisoner what
made him do it. He replied, " I have done it ; she is
mine and I will die for her." He bad many
times told witness that the deceased had promise(
to be his wife, but had afterwards refused him.
Bridget Brodrick, the daughter of the first witness, re-
peated the evidence which she gave before the coroner's
inquest as to the prisoner coming to the house on Christ-
mas afternoon, and murdering the deceased with the poker
which was produced. The prisoner asked this witness ,
whether she recollected Mary Haunter bringing hints
paper with the portraits of Allen, Gould, Larkin, and
Belly. Witness replied that she recollected that paper,
but the fourth portrait was that of Brett, not of Kelly.
When she showed Ishii that paper, the prisoner said,
" Yee, you have Allen, and Gould, and Larkin, and you are "
fender of them than of me." Mr. Hall, the magistrate
clerk, asked witness if she recollected the prisoner,
at any time when he, came to the house, pressing
Hamner about marriage, or anything of that kind.
Witness said she did not, and then added, " I Inly
he said in my presence, and m 7 mother's and Mary
Hammer's, when he came in tipsy, and stripped his
arm, Mrs. Brodriok, before I leave Droylsden I will
let blood flow down with these arms and hands. ' "
Prisoner—Was it to let blood flow from my own arms,
or did I mean to let blood flow from any other perm& !
Witness : He said neither. He took up his shirt sleeve
to his elbow, and said, " I will let blood flow with thee
arms." Mr. Chadwick, the presiding magistrate, asked
the witness whether she knew that the prisoner wished I
courtto the deceased. Witness said she knew th.,t, '
bat he had threatened her so ninth on their floor that
deceased was frightened to go out with him. Joseph
Groovy, a blacksmith, said he went to the hone of
Mrs. Brodrick on Christmas-day about four o'clock.
Hs found the last witness there and a man named
Thomas Brown had hold of her. Several other
persons were there. Witness went partly up the stairs,
and saw • man in a stooping position. He came down,
and went up again with Brown. When they got Up-
', stairs they found the deceased lying on her back on
the floor. The prisoner was kneeling by her side. Be
, gemmed to be in a sorrowful way. Several times be said
he loved Mary, but she had alighted him. The deceased
never spoke nor moved her eyes, bat she sighed several
times. The other witnesses called were Thomas Brown, a
neighbour of Mn.s Brodrick's ; George Lord, • police-con-
stable ; George Barrop, • police tompoctor ; and Mr.
1 Ltobert Slater, surgeon, of Droilsden, the substance of
whose evidence has already been published. The pri-
soner was committed for trial at the neat suixes at Man-
i cheater. He was taken by the next trdo to Manchester,
and at both the Ashton and Droylsden stations many per
sons were waiting_ to see him.
