THE NATIONAL REGISTER

heard two men, both journeymen bakers, talking to the
last witness in her room, after which they went out, and
Mrs. Chem), went out the moment after, and heard her
knock at the deceased's door, which was opened by the
deceased, and she heard them talking, and knew their
voices. Shortly after Mrs. Cheesy returned into her own
house, and in less than five minutes after she-heard the
screams of murder four different times. She first thought
they proceeded from Mrs. C.'s room, and went down
stairs to know the cause, and met Mrs. Chessey in the
passage ; she asked her if she had not heard the cries of
murder; she replied that she bad not. %Yitness then
went up stairs to Mr. Wilson, a shoemaker, who was at
work over-head, and asked if he had heard any cry of
murder? he replied he had not, nor could he, in conse-
quence of die noise, as he had been using the lap tune.
Nut satisfied, she again went to Mrs. Chessey, and told
her the was site there was something wrong at the next
door. Mrs. Chessey then replied, it could not be, as it
was not more than five minutes since she had been talk-
ing to Mrs. Donatty. Witness repeated again her sus-
, vicious to Mrs. Chessey, that something was wrong.—
They went to the door and knocked, ;id called on Mrs.
Dmiarty, and leceived no answer, and they took no
further notice till the watchman came round calling the
hour of nine, which was very soon after. When the
witness first heard the shrieks, she then heard the street-
door of deceased's house violently slammed to, and then
she heard the cries of murder.
Mr. John Mona, the constable of the Light, William
Walton, the watchman, and Vt Bolson, the patrol,
were next examined ; their evidence went as to their
entering the house, and finding the body, arc.
Mary cone Young, thy young woman who, with her
stepfather, were in custody, on suspicion of the murder,
was next examined. Site deposed as follows:—She
lives at No. 16, Baker's-row, Clerkenwell ; she occa-
sionally attended un the deceased near two years ; they
agreed very well together, but sometimes there might be
a trifling difference about something. Witness lived
with her mother, but came sometimes to do odd jobs, or
go of messages, for the deceased, but came to sleep there
every night; she sometimes came there at eight o'clocka
and sometimes not till half past 11 or 12. On Saturday
last witness left the deceased at half past seven in the
morning, and after leaving her a loaf of bread, did not
return until about half past ten at bight, when she found
a crowd collected beliire the door, and then heard of the
murder. ‘Witness had nu sweet-heart or any other per-
son come to visit her at the deceased's, neither did she
ever describe the situation of the house to any person,
nor had she any suspicion who the murder was commit-
ted by; the back door was always bolted, both day and
night. All wituese knows of the :,ourneytnen bakers is,
that one used to visit Mis. Chessey—Mr. Donatty, the
no phew, heed 011 very gcod :eons with the deceased.—
Witness does not know of any property the deceased
might have in the home.
Elizabeth Ryan, la, Hubert-street, next door to the
deceased, was in her back kitchen a little before nine
o'clock on Saturday night. She heard a great noise in
deceased's house, and the street door bang violently to,
and heard something heavy fall, but took no notice at
the nine.
The Jury at ten o'clock, returned a verdict of Wilful
Murder against wow peritin or per,ons unknown.
