perty to be dispo el of at the west end of London, to be upon their
guard against the applications of persons volunteering their services
as agents professing to have purchases to offer, and to make inquiry
of those whom they do employ before they permit themselves to be
committed in any correspondence, as the best means of not only
checking an interference productive of much inconvenience, and
greatly detrimental to foe interests of owners whilst negotiations
may be pending, but as a security against claims to commissions
perpetually set up under false pretences, which generally double in
amount the regular and established charges, and occasion constant
litigation. Mr. Rainy begs to add that he has no connection with
any other office in his profession, and that no individual has autho-
rity for using his name as an introduction.

them good bye, before I destroyed them. In less than a minute
after I got into the room, I began ; I took the youngest (Mark)
first ; I twisted my handkerchief a bit, and put it round his neck
and tied it in alast single knot. I drew it tight, but did not
pull it at ail afterwards. I then left hold of the handkerchief.
I had a candle with me in the chamber. I stood in the cham-
ber, but do not know that I looked at it whilst it was string-
ing. I believe I did not look at it. I kept the handkerchief
on its neck five minutes. I then took it off, and the child ap-
peared to be dead ; I did not see that it bled at the mouth, as
I did not look at it in the face. It did not scream. I went to
Ann next, and tied the handkerchief round her throat in the
same way. When I had throttled Ann, I went down stairs,
and staid against the fire for a few minutes. I stood conside-
ring, and thought I might as well stiffer for them all as for
two. I then went up stairs again, and was going up to the
bed where the other two lay, when William jumped out of bed,
ran across the floor, and got into the bed where Ann and
Mark lay, which is the cause they are all in one bed. I thought
he had seen me strangle the other two. As he ran across the
floor, he said " Pray you, father, don't do me so." I then
tied the handkerchief reyind the biggest boy's neck, (John's)
I did not look to see if John struggled, but went and sat down
on the bed. side against William and said to him. " My lad,
we'll all share our fate—when I've done you, I shall
have nobody to think of but myself, and it will be my turn
next" and he never spoke more. They none of them ever
winced, and I will take my oath, never cried out. I then went
and took the handkerchief off John, and tied it round William's
next. When I took the handkerchief off John's neck he ap-
peared to be quite dead. William made no resistance ; if he
did it was the least in the world, as I gave him no. chance, and
he never screamed out at all. As soon as I had tied the hand-
kerchief on William's neck I went down stairs, where I staid
for more than an hour; I. then went up stairs again, and sat
on the bedside where William, Ann, and .Mink, lay, till about
five o'clock. I then took the handkerchief off Williams, neck,
and put it in my hat ; this is it (taking a cotton handkerchief
out of bis hat, and holding it up to show the Coroner.) I
shook hands with them all, as I thought it would be the last
time I should see them, and started. On my return home on
Monday night, I went into the Forest Tavern, by the Forest-
side,,to see if there was any Basford people there. I saw and
spoke to Mary Lowe, the servant girl, and asked her if she
wanted a place, as I knew who wanted a servant. She said
No," and I left her at the door.
