Charles Henry Larburg, cutler, 5, Brampton-row
Knightsbridge, remember the prisoner; She
brought-me a.razqr to. grind •on the. 31st of July for a
gentleman. She said she believed the servant bad spoilt
it. She told ins that she expected the gentleman in town
that day, and wanted it done as soon as possible. She
came again soon, and said, "You never sent that razor
home I expected ;" and, repeating henstatetaient about
the gentleman, said the would be much obliged to ms if
I would do it, and I did, and sent it home to her. Last
Thursday morning she came again with the same razor,
and said she wished to have it set again, as it had gone
off the cut. A woman who was in company with the
prisoner said, " Come along ; you can go without the
razor this morning," butprisoner replied, " No, I must
take it with me." The woman then made motions to me
not to let her have the razor. I told the prisoner she
had better leave,it with. me that day, and I should be
able to put a better edge on it, but she refused, and wait-
ing till I had set it took it away with her. She left the
razor with me in the name of Jackson or Jolley.
• Mr. Arnold—Was it blunt when she brought it back
to you ?.
Wituess—l did not look particularly.
By Mr. Lewis—She told me where she lived, and where
to send the razor. She was in'my shop twice before I saw
her on Thursday tnirn in g,, but would not leave the razor.

Mr. W. Bird, of 13, Arthur street, greengrocer, said—
The prisoner, whom I had known as a neighbour for 18
tro,ntlis, came to my shop on the 9th inst. in a very de-
jected state. She said she bad a deal of trouble on her
mind, and that if she bad a razor in the house she would
have cut her throat. She told me she was involved in
debt, owing to not being able to get any lodgers, and
that everybody, now she owed ,a trifle, seemed to be upon
her. She said she owed ooe quarter's rent. I told her
that if I could get 101. on anything she should have it,
and I should be mist happy to assist 'her in any way I
could. I told her, when she complained of lowness, that
if she trusted in Providence she would get the better of
it, arid rim nutnended her when she felt dejected to come
to our house. She did not succeed in getting any lodgers,
and came again on the Saturday following in a very do-
j-cted state. She told me she could not bear up against
tier troubles, and that what few pounds her mother had
had been spent to keep them upon, and that there was
nothing more coming in, and there was nothing but
ooverty staring her in the face. I said, ." If you make
away with rurself, you will leave your peor mother to
the mercy of the world," when she replied that she could
nut see her want nor leave her behind to want.

In answer to a question froM Mr. Lewis, witness Faid
ibat be bad always heard the prisoner speak in the
highest terms of her mother. She•appeared to be very
fon•i and aff:etionate to her.

Mr. Beckerson, an inspector of the A division, having
intimated that there were other witnesses, whose evi-
dence upon certain facts might he given on a future day,
Mr. Arnold expressed his wish to hear all the evi-
dence that could be produced on this extraordinary case,
and remanded the priAonfr till to-day.
Prisonied deportment was very calm.

Another first-class ship of the line is to be built at
Pembroke Dockyard ; and, in order 'to lay her down,

one of the slipa has been lengthened. -She is to carry 130
bruadt.ide and one pivot gun, and will class with the
Marlborough, Royal Albert, and Duke of Wellington ;

and will be considerably larger than the latter vessel.

4uti-ship of that uatne, taken to pieces two or three

men of war are being rapidly proceeded with, and when
the new slips now in course of progress are finished this
yard will be able annually to produce a squadron of men
of war. The establishment at the beginning of October
is t) be lighted with gaP. The dry dock is rapidly pro-
gressing in its enlargement.
