street, about a varter of a mile from the place where
he accosted the pri-ioner.

Charles Matthews, a carman, stated that he went over
the fence and recovered the watch.

The watch was produced and identified.
Mr. Yardley asked if the prisoner was known, to
which Roche, tho gaoler, replied that he had been in
custody before for felony, and he believed was once
convicted.

Robert Wheeler, a young man formerly in the army,
and whose toes were shot off before Sebastopol, said he
was present two years ago when the prisoner was con-
victed and sentenced to imprisonment and hard labour.
The prisoner said that Wheeler was a lying vagabond.
He had not been convicted before—it was a lie.

Mr. Yardley lectured the prisoner on using such dis•
graceful language to a man who had served his country,
and who was now pensioned for his services. He wished
the prisoner was as good a man as the witness. He com-
mitted the prisoner for trial.

WORSHIP-STREET.
THE MURDER IN ARTILLERY-LANE.

Daniel Lordon, the man charged with wilfully mur-
dering his wife Catherine Lordon, at 15, Parliament-
court, Artillery-lane, Eishopsgate•street Without, was
placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt for further
examination.

The same excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood
of the police-court as on the first examination of the
prisoner.

On the prisoner being placed in the dock some of his
children who were in court burst into tears, and had to
be removed. The prisoner looked extremely pale and
appeared to feel his unfortunate position more acutely
than on the former occasion.

The depositions taken at the first examination were
read over to the prisoner.

Mr. Shaw, the surgeon, gave similar testimony to that
he gave before tie coroner at the inquest on Wednesday
last, and fully reported in The Sun of that day.
The prisoner paid particular attention to Mr. Shaw's
description how he thought the wounds with the knife
must have been inflicted on the deceased ; and in answer
to questions from the magistrates, whether he bad any
questions to put to the witness, he answered, in a firm
voice, "No." _ _ _

John Davies, who resided on the same floor with the
deceased and the prisoner, at 15, Parliament court,
deposed being disturbed on Tuesday morning last by
cries of " Murder " proceedirg from the prisoner's room.
He recognised the voice to be that of the deceased.
He also heard a wrestling against the door and the
prisoner call his wife a "b- bitch," and other
epithets of a similar character. He heard the foot-
steps of a heavy person leave prisoner's room
descend as far as the landing. Immediately fresh
cries of " Murder," and the person return to the room
He got up, and on getting outside his door he
saw blood near the prisoner's door, and a slipper in it.
He looked into the prisoner's room, but saw nor heard
no one there. He then described the appearance of
the stairs from blood, and the position in which he
found the deceased sitting on the stairs, in nearly the
same terms as at the inquest. The prisoner was not a
drunken man, but the deceased was much addicted to
drinking.

By the prisoner—He knew it was prisoner who used
the language deposed to from the sound of his voice ; he
was in his bi xi at the time, which was about 5 or 6
yards distant_

Prisoner t o the Magistrate—There were no loud words
passed between me and my wife.
`Witness- —Prisoner and his wife were often quarrelling,
and she fre ,quently screamed " Mur,ler,'!
Sarah F;lias deposed she resided on the floor below
the prisoner. About 2 o'clock on the morning of the 18th
she was disturbed by the prisoner, who was quarrelling
with hi s wife and a man in the street. She thought de-
ceaset-1 was in liquor. She heard nothing after that.
Beta' teen seven and eight o'clock she saw deceased
site ,ng in a crouching posture on the stairs, but did not
sP eak to her. Blood was on the landing, near where
.eceased was sitting. `Witness had no idea she was
dead, but thought her tipsy. It was only when she
heard persons in the passage, and saw a policeman and
a doctor there, that she knew deceased was dead.
By Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did you ever see Kingstone
with her ?—No.

How long have you known her t—Six years, and she
was continually tipsy.

Is the prisoner a sober man I—He is not altogether a
drunken man and was not a sober man.

Have you ever heard him express feelings of jealousy I
—No.

Have you ever heari:him fteeme dceasedjof iefidelity !
—No.

Margaret Lor3on, daughter of the prisoner, deponed
she was 18 years of age. She went to the Green Dra-
gon, Half Moon-street, Bishopgate-street, on the night
before the murder ; there found her father and mother.
A raffle had been got up there for the benefit
of her mother. Her father and mother being
both out of work. Her mother was sober, but

her father bad been drinking. Kingstone was
there, and also Daniel Crease, her uncle. Her f ,ther
had been put out of the house by her uncle, and abiut
half-past 12, when witness, her mother, Kingstone, and
her uncle left the house, they saw her father outaitle.
Kinghtone took no part against her father in the Green
Dragon. He and her father were then on the best of
terms. After leaving the Green Dragon, witness and
her mother went home, and by the time they bad reached
the door Kingstone bad overtaken them. He asked ber

and her mother where her father was : her mother re.

plied, "Gud knows." Kingstone sent her for a pot of
beer, which was drank between them on the door step

The public-house being closed she took the pot up stairs
and returned to the street door to her mother and King-
stone. Immediately after her father rushed between
them. Kingstone called out "Dan," but he made no
answer, and went up stairs. Shortly after something
hard was thrown from her father's window, which struck
Kin stone. Her mother male a noise, and asked
Kingstone to have her father taken into custody,
Kingstone asked her father " Why he did not come
out like la man, and be would fight him fair." Her
father came down stairs, and Kingston went up the
court. Kingston said, " Here's the b— vagabond,"
on which her father struck him with a poker, without
making him any answer. A scale ensued between
them, and her father was thrown on his back by Kings-
ton, who, finding he could not get the poker from her
father, let him go, and he then got up and went up
stairs. Kingston then spoke to a policeman, and asked
him to take her father in charge, but he declined to do
so. Kingston then said he would go to the police
station, and left. She saw no more of him that night.
By Mr. D'Eyncourt—ls Kingston a friend of your
father's I—Yes.
How long have they been acquainted ?—Twenty-
eight years. They have always been on the best of
terms.
Have you any reason to believe your father was
jealous of Kingstone beside' from what you saw this
night ?—I believe there was a little grievance between
my father and Kingstone about three months' since, but
I was not at home then.
After some further evidence, the prisoner was re
manded.
