Attired who the person was, sad borate be received

privy in a very bloody condition, with bit Mod
nearly detached from his body. He went to she
main gates of the prison and told one of the tors-
keys to go for Mr. Box, the surge.. H. then
returned to the privy to look for the instrument
with which the deceased inflicted the wound, and
when he got to the door be saw Manning stoop
down and pick op a razor (then before the Jury)
off the ground, which was covered with blood.

there were the rennin* of another tome which ap-
peared to be scratched oat in great part, so that he
could not make it out. He was certain it was the

and it was then in the same state (except that thl;
blood was wiped off) as when given iota hi hands
'by Manning, and it was never out of his palmate°
until it was produced to the Jury.
R. Smith. polar, belonging to Bow-street or.

he was the first person Neat took hold of him,
Harry Adkins was with him. and took him into cut:
tndy. Adkins and himself took him to Bow-street
and searched him. He was searched a second time
when put to bed; ill 'his clothes were esamitied,
but he did not look into his shoos, where he sup-
posed the deceased concealed the eszor. On the
following dew Mr. Adkius searched the deceased a
third time, and between his shirt and skin he fooled
the half of an Observer newspaper. of last Sunday.
which contained the account of the murder, and
described his person.
When the deceased was in bed at Bow-street, he
said, " it is very singuler that I mei the•deoeuved
the first time at the Chapel, in Lislaireet. and
that is the place I was take° front for murdering
her. It is very proper I should suffer for it. If
my father or mother had committed murder. 1
wauld not save them. No, blood for blood." On
the first examination of the deceased, two books
were taken from him, but afterwards were returned
to him.

ums had brought the razor into Newgete. and gave
it to the deceased.

Mr. Brown, keeper et Newgate, said, he knew
that great responsibility attached to him for the act
of the Prisoner; but, in the present instance, he
lisped the Jury would exculpate him from the least
blame, for he did all be could to prevent such •
citeesstenee taking plate. He asked the Bow.
street officers when they brought him (the deceas-
ed) to Newgate, if they hod- searched him, and
they said gist they had. Bishop sod Adkins both
said that he bad been searched before he was
