SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK.

Cross-examined by Sergeant Parry—lt is a very common
thing to exchange a chain. I had never seen the prisoner
in my shop before. My brother and myself are constantly
in the shop, I cannot say which of us is there the most

frequent. .
Sergeant Parry—Did not the prisoner call at your shop
in November last to have a link put to a chain, for which
he paid is. 63. ?
Witness—l cannot say; I don't know that he did.
___

The Chief Baron—l think, to prevent mistake, we had
better °ill Mr Briggs':chain No, 1; the chain had of Mr
Death No. 2; and the chain pawned by the prisoner
No, 3.

Sergeant Parry—Very well, my lord. Now did you not,
in November last, put a link on No. 3 chain l'
Witness—l cannot say.

Sergeant Parry—Can you judge of your own work in
such a case?
Witness—No, I cannot.
Sergeant Parry—Look at the link that has bees broken.
Witness—l can't remember the chain at all.
Re-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—Until the morn-
ing I have referred to I never saw the prisoner.
Ellen Blyth, of 19, Park-terrace, Old Ford, said—My
husband is a messenger. I know the prisoner. He lodged
at our house, and had done so for about seven weeks, end-
ing the 14th of July. On Saturday, the 9th of July, the
prisoner had not returned home when we went to bed at 11
o'clock. He had a latch key with him. I saw him the
next morning between eight and nine is the kitchen. He
slept upstairs in the first floor back. I heard him come
down before I saw him in the kitchen. On Sunday, the
10th, he remained in doors all day. He went out in the
evening about six. On Monday, the 11th, ho went out
about eight in the morning, and returned before eight and
nine in the evening. On that day ho showed me a gold
Albert chain, the chain numbered 2 is similar to it. ;When
the prisoner came to live in our house he brought a hat-box
with the name of Walker on it. I found it atter he had
left. I gave it to the police.

Cross-exatuined by Sergeant Parry—There was nothing
in his manner on the Sunday dithrent to his usual manner.

I have known him for 12 months, and I have always found
him to be a gentle inoffensive young luau. lle took his meals
with us as usual on Sunday, My husband was with us
when we went out on the Sunday. My husband was not
examined before the magistrate. He has not been examined
at all. The prisoner wore the same dress on the Sunday
he did on the Saturday. I cannot recollect how he was
dressed when he went out on. Monday the 11th. The coat
now put into my hand is the one ho wore on the Saturdays
Sunday, and Monday. lam sure the trousers he wore on
the Sunday were the same as he had on on the Saturday. Ha
wore a slipper on the Saturday when he went out—of ttat
lam positive. I gave that t,liprer, together with tb.., hat
box, to Inspector Tiddy. I don't know that when 'Lie went
out on Monday he was going to the docks. I kr,ew he was
going to America a fortnight previous to the -14th of July.
Ho told me he was going by the Victories. He did not give
me his address in New York, The re,soner is about 23
years of age. The last thing I washeli. fur the prisoner was
six new shirts.
