--
ease of pistols found appeared to have fallen off the table.
Our was in the case when found. Besides these I saw a
small pair of ieory.handled pistol. in the officers' Minds.
The deceased was fouod in the front room, which is tho larger
of the two, the folding doors opening towards the hack
room window. The three windows of the front room open
on to \orthumberlend•street. The gentleman made no
remark when I caught hold of the tail of his coat and
tried to prevent hint from getting over the wall.
When in the street, in the door of 16, somebody
said to him, " You are shot ;" and in reply to that he
%aid, "Had I two pistols I'd have shot him also."
Some one said, " The man who has done it may
escape." upon which be said, "I have served him
out too much for him to make hie escape."
The distance from the all of the window, where I first saw
him, to the mound is 14 feet, but there is a water spout
beneath, which might help hint down. He put his foot
through the window of the ground floor in getting down.
By Mr. Humphreys—The lint expression of the gentle-
man was "There been murder here ;" bet I cannot pledge
myself to the exact words. I do not think be said " I'm
being murdered here." I believe the pistols found on the
door were horempibtols ; but I cannot say whether they
were losdrd.

By the Coroner—There were no window 4 broken in the
beck room.

Wm. Clark, a 'otter in the employment of the Catalonian
Cork Company, gave evidence confirmatory of that of the
bat witneen.

By Mr. Htunphreys—Rid heard pistol shore from the
mom or in the house for • fortnight before. Had heard it
several times in the fortnight.

street fur the last five or six yearsomid she had heard noises,
" like planks being thrown down" during the
last fortnight, but could not say whether it was
the report of firearms, nor where it came from. On
Friday week she hadbeen out, and on her return borne about
holy-pest 11, while in her sitting room at the bottom of her
house, and at the back, she heard some high words. It
seemed to be men's voices, and about ten minutes
later she beard a noise like • plank falling,
and five minutes later the same wise again.
Almost immediately she heard the crashing of glass., and
then saw the legs of a man coming over her wall. To the '
beat i 4 her knowledge, the noise and the voices she heard
came from the aarne place. The faced the man was covered
with blood, and there was blood trickling from his beck.
Saw • workman in the yard at No. 16 pull
his coat, hot the gentleman (lopped from the wall.
Did not see him go through her house, but afterwards saw
drops of blood on the floor of the r"49.
Sergeant Ookleo, A 46—On Friday week I was passing
neer No. 16, Northumberland.street, when some one
told me there was murder being done there, and at the
mine time • gentleman came out of No. 15, with
hie face covered with blood, who told me be had been shot
by • man in the first floor of No. 16. At the same time
two people railed out, "Stop that man, we don't know
who he is." I detained him. He was corning towards
me. H. said, " The man is the first door of that
house (pointing to the windows) has shot me ;
go and take him." Finding he was wounded, I handed him
over to a gentleman present, who volunteered to take him
to the hospital. I then entered No. 16, went to the first
door, tried both doors, and found them fastened. The
polls 1 bad sent for came to my assistance,
and I directed them to enter at the back. The door was
by • policeman from within after
Zreleider four minutes, and on going into the front
mom I saw Mr. Robert*. I said to him, " How did this
happen" He replied, "It was done by that
man wbo bas gooe downstairs." Those were the only
wools be spoke. Both zooms were in very great
confusion. In the hack room close by the mantel-
piece was • large pool of blood, and in the opposite corner
was another large pool. I saw a brace of
Etta, which I sow prostate (producing a use of
piltoish Irthe cm the floor close to the
woad pool of blood. I saw also four bullets,
two broke, bottles, and • quantity of paper smeared with
bleed. The table was broke. as if by a scuttle ; and
in the treat room was a pile of carpets and
a pillow, also smeared with blood. There
was also • their which looked as if broken in •
recent struggle. Neither of the pistols I found
had been recently fired, but I did not try whether
they were loaded. I found six bullet marks is the
room—four on the marble mantelpisee. red twe
that had prostrated the wall close by. The drawee*
la both rooms were all thaws out, as if they had bees
ransacked ; sad there were papers on the top of the
drawers and sane ea the Seer. The frost roes was la
very great esalissea, bat it did sot appear tow to be heal
any great draggle. A female residing in the bowie broeiht
to me a pelts,
el a broken toep (produced) covered with Wood.

By Mr. The four bullets I found as the floor
had not hew iYebar and had probably fallen from
the men with the pistols. When in the street, the gen-
tlemen who was wounded said, "Am I much
hurt ?" Mr. Roberts had his hand on the knob
of this door et the trout room opening on to
the landing, bat the door wee locked, and there was no key
in It. Of the door of the back room the key was in the
door, on the outside, next the passage, the door itself being
fastened by • bolt inside.
By Mr. Humphreys—l dwl oot see any moans of opening
the door of the front room.

flaperintealent Durkin maid the door bail some vole
of bleed oe it., and had been left exactly as found, he be-
lieved, for the inspection of the jury.
By Mr. Humphreys—There was a small chair in the hack
room, !gar an escritoire, cu which some ism had ap-
parently been sitting. There was also a high chair
close to the table and that wee the nearest
to the pool of Wood. It woo about 4 feet aer as the side
opposite to the folding doom. I saw eo marks of blood on
the mat of either chair ; they might have seamed soy notice.
[The inquest was preassakag whoa our report left.]

be could place very little confidence, after the impales
which had been made in his behalf that he committed
perjury
Mr. •
Francis preyed that his client might be dismissed
with costa. There was sufficient suspicion against
Dermot to justify his bein„.• made a co•respedent,
although there might not be sufficient evidence to
faddy a decree. But if a person indulged himself
iss loose talk and in romping with a young married woman,
be must not complain if he was left to pay hie own costs.
Ultimately the cue stood over for fur tbse consideration.

THE FIRE IN Toomv-eraser.—(Tetra
At a meeting this morning of the hioners of fit. Mayes,
Southwark, held under the pre idency of the rector, a testi-
monial wee premeted =Superintendent Brandford. Various
smell rums it was agreed should be distributed amongst the
firemen who distinguished themselves at the late fire.
INDIAN MUNEUM, WHITEHALL—The collection
of native products, and the specimens illustrative of the arts
and industrial pursuits of the people of media, which for
several years past had been on view at the old India House
in Leadenhell-street, have been removed to Fife House,
Whitehall. The museum, newly arranged, under the di-
rection of Mr. Dishy Wyatt, Dr. Forbes, and Mr. Down-
lug, will be opened to the public on Wednesday next.
SUDDEN DEATH or • SUZGEON.—On Friday
evening, about 10 o'clock, as Burgeon Rya' =a driving
into Dublin through the village of Clostart his phaeton
accidentally threw down a woman at • turn of the road. Sur-
ge= led y= and his servant alighted to render her assistance,
and =finding that she had sustained no serious injury,they
were about to resume their journey, when they were stopped
by two men, said to have been in liquor, who insisted upon
satisfaction for the fall which the woman had received. This
interruption naturally excited the gentleman's ire, and he
dispatched his servant in search of a policeman, upon seeing
which the fellows let go the reins; but Dr. Rynd, deter-
mined to keep them in view, followed them along the road
in the direction of town. He bad not, however, proceeded
many perches when he was leen to fall forward and lie
motionless in the vehicle. The horse dashed forward es the
reins slackened, but had not proceeded very far in his flight
before he was stopped by some persons coming in the oppo-
site direction, who were horrified on finding the ill-fated
gentleman quite dead in the bottom of the carriage. At a
pout ?stollen examination it was ascertained that the cams
of death was aggravated disease of the heart—death having, it
is supposed, been accelerated by the excitement consequent
upon the occurrences just detailed.
FATAL ACCIDLYT.—Ou Saturday a frightful acci-
dent occurred in Eaton-square, resulting In the death, under
deplorable circumstances, of • young lady earned Jane Ann
, Cooper 19 years of age, who had resided at 114, Warwick.
street, Pimlico. About midday she was seen riding through
the square at an alarming speed, the horse she rode
being apparently beyond her controb A man in charge
of the bar at one end of the outlets from the square, swing
her coining towards that point, and believing the horse had
run away with her, closed the barrier. On approaching it, the
hone turned abruptly round and the unfortunate lady was
thrown from her seat. She fell with terrific violence upon
the iron palisades of the square and received such frightful
iejuriee that she died almost instantly. 8000 people who
had seen the accident had her immediately conveyed in
• cab to St. Oeorp's Hospital, close by, but she died before
arriving there. The body was seen, in a few momenta
after being taken to tho hospital, by Mr. Lae, the house
surgeon, end Mr. Hewett. one of the principal medical
officers. It was found to have sustained • dreadful spike
wound in the left groin, and others on. the forehead,
just over the left eve, and on the left side of the face. The
remains, which were those of a young =neat of great per-
sonal attractions, were recognised by • relative in the
course of the day, and a telegraphic message was sent to
Brined to her father, apprising him of the lamentable cir-
cumstance. Others of her friends visited the hospital in
the emu= of yestenlay and saw the body, which lies there,
awaiting a coroner'', inquest, which will probably be held
to-day or to-morrow.
Flax ire Cr.mtErewirt.E.—Yesterday evening a
fire, attended with a serious destruction et property, broke
out in the premises of Mr. John Dawson Ashworth, iron
sad brass founder, end Mews. Whitmire sad Co., steel
mill makers, No. 11, Rey-street, Clerkenwell, near the
seesionshouse. The fire originated from some unexplained
cause in the first floor, used es the factory, and, when dis-
covered, hail obtained such a firm hold as to endanger the
neighbouring premises. Engines were 0000 GO Steep*, and
there wee a good supply of water, but the flames were not
extinguished until Mr. Ashworth's premises, and those of
Messrs. Whitmee, steel mill makers, and the dwelling-
houses of both firms, were partially consumed. The loos
will fall upon the Sun and Union Fire-offices
THE YELvEavorr Cis& —On Saturday the First
Division of the Court of Session gave judgment in the re-
claiming notes against Lord Ardmillan's interlocutor in the
WAG of " Velvertoo r. Yelvertoo." The Lord President
said that a certain relaxation of the rule in regard to the
exclusion of hearsay evidence was made where the state-
ments made were truly part of the re* gesem, bat the relaxa-
tion must he carefully watched, otherwise the rule would
be mainly broken down. Ia the present ewe he thought
the pursuer had got the fall benefit of the relaxation. In-
deed, there were ow or two of the evidences in her favour
which the Lord Ordinary. had erroneously admitted. The
Lord Ordinary was quite right in allowing proof as to the
footing on which the parties were living. The declaration
of mains,. was partly laid on the grouted of habit and
repute, and therefore evidence of the footing on which the
parties were living was quite admissible. As to the com-
petency of examining the pursuer in order to prove the lees
of certain documents, his opinion wee clearly
_spinet it. It
wee settled law that a party to a cons action could
not be examined as a witness. In regard to the question
proposed to be put by the defender to the pursuer as to an
alleged osetdienee of shown by her to the priest,
that could sot be allowed. *question was plainly pointed
et
the eartifioate bring • forgry, and for that no foundation
hod beau laid by the defender. As to the domino= is the
