(Wad ; I am sure they are not. Mrs. Clifford had not sue't a
hatolkerehiel to my knowledge. On the Sunday night, I went
home about half-past nine o'clock, and was awakened at aboitt
twelve, by Mr'. Clifford coming in : she smoked a pipe, and went
to aril. I heard of the murder about Hine o'clock the next
morning. I also learnt, in the course of that day, that the children
(Mrs. Clifford's) had tbend sonic bank-notes in or near the fire-
place; Mrs. Clithird carried them to M'Lauren. I do not re-
member whether she said to me, or I said to her, that M'Laoren
shoad keep it a serrei, but something was said aaout its hcil!f4
kept a secret I observed to some one ( e could not catch the
name,) that she was a deep one no one knew what money bIIC
had." —The above was the Aibstance Of Slattery's evidei.ce.
Mrs. Hannah Singleton, wife of James Singleton, of N0..4,
Church-street, St. G le's, was then sworn. Clitiora the do eased,
and his wife, lodged with her. Her lodgers go in ant. out. day am ,d
night; as they please . Could not say at what time Mra. Clifford
came home on time night of the nutr'er.—Whal eoi,versalion had
yno with Mrs. Clifiimrd on the Mooday morning? I asked her,
where is \ our h>cu'l? site said, he is gone home to Ireland, and I
nmst go to the parish nffieeis. She offered to sell her goods .o a
s'nong woman who also bulges in my house :at this time it was
between 7 and Rin the montiog of Monday. We had !Ka heard of
the murder. She asked me VI would go to the workhouse, and tell
of her distressed state, and endeavour to get a pass for her: all timia
was betimre we !ward of the murder : T desired her to uo herself. I
heard of the murder between 8 and 9, at which time Nlrs. oar .1d
•' crone out. Mrs. Clifford never ,•poke to me of any money she
had, and we believed them to be very poor. She heard Slattery
say that the children had picked op some money in the fire-place.
Mrs. Hoe, a lady whose appearance bespoke great respectability,
was then sworn. Site stated that site lived near the•place where the
murder was committed. Her bed-room window looked towards
the spot where the deceased was found. 44 1 got up (she said). at
four o'clock in the morning, and looked out of my window; it was,
quite light : I know it was four o'clock, because 1 tmoked at my
I watch. • I saw a man walking crom the spot where the murder was
committed ; he walked up towards the houses where there was no
wav out ; he was not like a workman ; I ant sure 119 one was there
but himself: lie had on a dark coat but I could not speak to the
rest of his dress."
Leary, the prisoner, who bad not been present during the whole
of the above examination. was now sent for, and Mrs. Hue was
asked, ‘1 Do you think that the person you saw ?" Answer—" He
was not dressed any thing like that man.' Leary was asked what
clothes he wore at the time of the murder : he answered, " I wore
a grey great coat, an under coat, this waistcoat, (a blue one), and
a pair of black velveteen breechea."
Shuttle north, who found the body at an early hour, and his man,
were then called ; and Mrs. Hue was asked if she thought either of
them was the person she saw ; lint she answered in the negative.
Mrs. Griffith, the wife of James Griffith, was next examined.

house, on the Sunday night. Michael Harrington and his wile
were present. She never saw the deceased.
Mrs. Champion said, she was double cousin to Mrs. Clifford ; and
she called on deponent before the molter, and Clifford told her,
that his wife hail had forty shillings from him.
Mr. Turton, the Magistrate, thought that the Bank-notes which
Mrs. Clitford had itatosted to MtLearen, and which she had since
got back, should he forthcoming. They were sent for, and de-
posited with his clerk.
• The evidence of Mrs Clifford now became necessary, for whbFe
convenience the Magistrates had adjontned their pi oceedings from
Hatton-Garden to the House of Correction; but site was taken
in
labour while the examinations were going on ; the 'further inveatia
