Ever mist, the last examisiatior, which was three weeks
since, every effort has sheet' made to discover every thing re-
lative to the carder, sod some iinpOrtalll loaners have.bora
traced which ultimately may bring the real perpetrator* 1.
justice.
The following appeared in evidence yesterday, before Dr.
Owen. in the Justice room :
Elitsbeth Hopkins, who resides at Highgate with her
husband, who is a labourer, in earsoemairrire of hearing that
Barrett was suspected of the minder, came forward, sad
slated as follows:—She remembered the asurniug that
Sellers, Mr. Hale's watchman, was murdered; at about
lialtpast six o'clock the sonic morning she was going with
her husband's breakfast to a field where he was mowing
for a Mr. Thmnpron, tga ilornsey-lane; on proeseding
along she saw the Primmer Bdrraitt turn down the lase,
and lie stopped to consider shirk way be would tura ;
be crossed a Geld called Ashbott's Field, exactly at the bark
of Mr. Hale's honer, sad near rogue hay-stacks there was a
black man sinus, is a hollow ; Ba ran, who appeared as it

lion to the point where she had first seen kiln ; the black
man went away.
The witness was closely questioned by Dr. Owes as to her
knowledge of Barratt's person.
She answered that she could not be mistakes as to his
person ; she had kaolin him previuosly to that morning,
and knew that it was Barran ; she saw Mtn in the Add near
the hay slack, at the back of Mr. Hale's house.
Dr. Owen re...eked that it was node, suspicious
eiresm-
stances that a shirt with marks of blood upon the sleeve, had
Men found ander the hay-stacks mention' d, and it was in •
filthy condition.. It was fooud by • man named Field, who
hail it in his possession. A man named Murphy had been
apprehended on suspicion of its being hi., consequence
of hii having pot anew shirt on, said in order that he should
give au account of the old shirt he had left off. It was,
however, involved in a mystery. and for the wast of evi-
deuce be was discharged. A bloody stocking was also pro-
duced here, and Mapccied, which had been fouud at Bar-
ratt's lodgings.
The Primmer, Barran, denied 'nosey that the witness
Hopkins saw him cross the field and climb over the stile.
He went in the vioroing to tell the deceased's sou that his
father was died.
Dr. Owen asked the witness whether she considered the
way which the primmer Barran woe going the nearest to
Crunch End, where Barran said he was going to, or would
she have gone that way to Crouch Egad ?
Witness said that it was sot the way to Crouch Ead; she
would net have gone that way had she been gulag there; she
saw him get over some fences.
Barran was again asked whether be wished to say any
thing ? He answered, all that hr had to say was, that he
was going to the deceased's sow at Crolich End, but he ismer
went oat of the road all the way, as Gad was his jodge.—
Dempsey's son met him the same smarming on the rood, sod
he denied that she saw him.

Mrs. Barran eiselalused, " false ! God forgive you,
you are speskiag false!"
Dr. Owen could not perceive say motive tint the wanes
might have in saying she saw the Poisoner (who had not ac-
counted for where he was on the night of t►e murders. Mut
swore positively that it was Barrett she sow.
Mrs. Hopkins said he was dressed in' • abort shooting-
jacket, and the same dress as he sow had on.
Hermit said he had a nephew residing at Tottenham, sad
they had • pint of porter together at the Swats public-Moose
the same night.
Mrs. Hopkins said that she afterwards saw Barrett, and
she pointed him out to a man as the person she saw model
suspicious circumstances on the morning of the murder;
that man had removed from Highgate, but be could be
fou nil.
A buy was again examined, and swore that he raw a block
man on the morning of the minder, in a bulkier mar the
WIC in which Ba►rett passed.

A man named Lewis afiko saw a black man on the amuse
morning; be was dressed like a sailor; he bad been lurking
about in a very suspicious .

ante.
Miss Mary Percival being sworn, said that she holds Ilse
situation of governess in Mr. Rotchschild's family, and had
been in that capacity for the last twelve mouths. The ladies'
linen was not under her notice, and could mot identify them
if they were produced. A child'. gold coral now produced
resembled one which had been stolen from the nursery, but
she could not say positively whether it was the same • she
believed it not to he A small box which was produced she
believed to be Miss Rothschild'e, but could net say positive-
ly. The witness seemed to hesitate in giving • direct an-
swer.
Dr. Owen was very sorry to say, that the witnesses seemed
to come there under mime restriction, and &mettles the
ditty they owed to their oath, a Supreme Being, themselves,
and the
Witness bad missed several articles and some books.—•
[Two hooks, entitled "Classic Tales," were produced.j—
She could not remember what books they were.
Dr. Owen said, she seemed to have received some km
strections.
Miss Percival burst into tears, and said that not being ac-
customised to attend such places, she thought theta very se-
vere upon her; she had Ken plates like those 'produced at
Mr. Rothschild's, and were she to see them any where else
she should say they were his property.
Miss Percival was bound over to prosecute at the Old
Sarah Jordan, the ladies' maid, ideatifsed two books u
Mr. Rothschild's property.
The names of the witnesses were called over, and they
were each bound over to give evidence at the Old Bailey in
the sum of 410 L each. _ .

The Prieosters were folly committed fur trial on the
charge of robbery, and remanded on suspicion of the murder
until further inquiries are made into the affair.
Mr. Henson, Jun. on the part of Barrett, requested that
be might have some of hip imeoperty, his watch and
clothes, &r.
Mr. Harmer had no objectimkpeovided the watch was his
own prom sty.
An officer said that be had bees at the place where be bad
purchased it, and he was satisfied.
Barrett requested to have his desk and papers, with the
key of his house, and there was au inventory of some things
which he wished to have.
tie was refused the inventory, but it was embattled to let
him have the other articles.
He requested to have some silver spoons which were
marked with his initials.
Dr. Owen, who suspected on a former occasion that they
had been stolen from Mr. &intuit, Barreles late master, in
consequence of the initial correspoesdieg. was satisfied they
were not his, and gave them hack to the kisoner.
The reason Barrett gave fur his Ravi superior fureitere
was, that a Captain Davidson bad 'pertaining in his house,
and being etehervassed, and out enabled to pay him his rent,
be restraml Wpm& to him (Barrett), and left the lodging.
His Ifilistliiieteimb MOM was Elias Brantoe.
The Prisomr,lss the course of the day, was conveyed to

The Defendant, who is a respectable looking man of the

ridge had sworn was utterly false. It was true that the let-
ter had offered him the coat fur sale, and inched premed has
to buy it, bet be (the Defendant) was well aware of the pe-
nalty, sad that numbers of his brethrrn had suffeed wwwt
