THE MURDER IN FALCI►NRER6-COURT.

- -
Darid Evans was brought tip fur a second csaminalitio
yesterday and the Ofike and the avenues leafing thereto
were*, crowded, that it was necessary to keep the doors of
the Office shut.
A full report of that which transpired on the former day
is before the public, and we rise a brief sketch iif the fresh
evidence adduced yesterday to complete the whole.
Mr. Alin, the Vestry Cletk of St. A 1111C.P, who conducts
the prosecution, suggested to the Magistrates that he should
not have an opportunity of bringing on the trial during the
"reseed Sessions, as he did not know whether the Grand
Jury Siffe asp, and if not, whether the Judges would take it
this Sessmis.
Mr. Baker thought that no time should he lost in pre-
ferring a bill, and to give the Judges their discretion in let-
ting the case stand over.
The depositions taken at the Mat examination were read
over lust. Mr. Allen declised taking that which appeared
the strongest touiisiosy (Asa Desmond's). The parish were
actuated by nprigld motives, and the only desire was, to
bring the care fairly, and without pr. jail's-a., before the
public. Desmond sod his wife were proved to have had
*MOW wards with the Prisoner oti his coining home, and after
Desmond had g me to bad, the returned down stairs, lurked
the Prisoner and his wife in the MUM, when she abused the
Prisoner, and accused his wife of infidelity with her bus.
ba,ul. Upon those grounds the Prosecutor rejected her
testimony.
The house apotherary of St. Anne's proved, that the skull
was nut broken, but the blows *night have occasioned death,
ur the inflammation of the intestines iliacuvered.
Joint Davis had no suspicion of any thing wrong, until
when the coffin was brusglit in, a woman its the house ex-
claimed''' that she was certain the Prisoner hail murJered his
wife. He was more suspicious when he saw the undertaker
slid his man take of the deceased's esp. He took • bundle
to his wife to wash on Mouthy morning, and the Prisoner
gave her another (not stating the things were to be washed)
on Monday night, but witness would wit let her have • Mad
in it.
Davis's wife proved that the articles euntained in the first
bundle were covered with blood ; she assisted in Isying the
deceased lint, and she was much bruised from her brad to
her hues", and she saw the marks of • blow upon lbw left
temple. Witness had never area the deceased in liquor but
twice, and she was not an ailing person. She recollected
seeing two men and a winsome quarrelling with the Prisoner
respecting the door on Sunday maiming, and the man had
hold of Prisoner's collar. The deceased was bolding a candle
in the roseate.
During the sitting of the Inquest newt VMS' of Mrs. Des.
mond having bees brought tubed; and cutisequeutly as
either party might avail themselves of her testimony, the
Prise nor was remanded, sad his trial will stand over until
the next Sessions.
