London, England, 1862-11-20 00:00:00

I did not hear Brown say who it was that caught him. I
heard frequent conversations between Burnett and Brown
about the paper. Brown asked Burnett who he was giving
the paper to, whether it was to Fred Lancaster, because
Air. Brewer wished to know if it was so. Burnett told him
it "'Was not. After the conversation Brown brought more
paper, which Burnett put with the rest in our clothes box,
I recollect the day of the fire in Tooley-street. Burnett and
I came to London on that day, whence:we went to Strat-
ford, and stopped at Burnett's brothers, the Railway Hotel.
While we were there Brown came, and I then obtained
lodgings for ourselves and him. We stopped at Stamford
six weeks, during which time Burnett went to London. I
did not go with him. I know he took some of the Bank
paper with him. He had money when he returned. I
don't know whether he had any when he went
away. On leaving Stamford we returned to White-
church. Brown did not go with us. Brown stayed
in London because he said he was going to his sister's.
I knew from Burnett that Brown afterwards returned to
Whitchurch. I saw him on the day he came down. I
recollect just after Christmas, 1861, Brown came to our
lodgings, which was then in Long's-court, Leicester-
square. He came about seven o'clock in the evening.
Burnett was not at home. In consequence of what Brown
told me I went to the Victoria Theatre, where I saw
Burnett, I told him Henry Brown wanted to see him, as he
had brought some more paper. We then returned home,
when I saw Brown give Burnett the paper, and they exa-
mined it together. Brown stayed that night with us, the
paper being put with the other in the clothes-box. Bur-
nett went out the next day with the paper that .Brown
brought. On his returning he gave Brown some money,
but I don't know how much. Brown stayed with us a day
and two nights, when he left, telling me he was goingito
Portsmouth. About a fortnight after this Burnett left
London, telling me he was going to Portsea to see Henry
Brown. On his return he told me he had seen Brown, and
in a short time after that I went with Burnett to Portsea
in the month of March. We went to a brewery where
Brown was working. We saw him working there, as also
his brother James. We all dined together that day at
James's house. Burnett and I returned to London the
same evening. I think Burnett went once again to Port-
sea. The next time I saw Brown was shortly after Easter,
when he came to our lodgings in Thomas•street, Lambeth.
I did not hear what he came up for, but he remained with
us two or three times after that. We next removed to
Angel-place, Blackfriars-road, and shortly after this Brown
went down into the country. On his return to London he
brought some more bank paper. I saw him give it to Bur-
nett. Burnett and Brown both went out together the
night Brown came, They went out the next morning,
when they returned with a joint of meat' and
some money. I went once with Burnett and
Brown to Westminster. Burnett left us, but I
did not see where he went. I and Brawn waited at a
public-house near Tothill-street. We then went to King-
street, Soho, and waited again, while Burnett went some-
where, and afterwards went to a butcher's shop in Tothill•
street. Mr. and Mrs. Buncher were there. Burnett and
Buncher talked together, but I did not knew what passed.
I don't know whether he brought the paper back he took
with hire, but I never saw it afterwards. Burnett on one
occasion sent me to Buncher's and gave me some bank
paper to take there. I gave it to the person whom I un-
derstood was Mrs. Buncher. She gave me money in return.
She left the room before she gave it me. I don't know
what the amount was. It was in gold. After that Buncher
came in. On several occasions after that Burnett has sent
rue to Buncher's I took bank paper, which I was directed
to leave there. Sometimes I saw Buncher, but Mrs.
Buncher always gave me the money. Buncher gave me a
joint of meat. I recollect the publication of the reward.
Before that Brown went into the country. Burnett told
me he was going to Laverstoke. When he came back he
told Burnett he had to go again on Sunday. Burnett and
Brown was together. Brown was only absent three or
four days, but Burnett stayed a week. Brown took a
black bag with him. When Burnett returned to London
Brown and he had a canvera Alen together when
they went up stairs, and afterwards in that room
I saw the bank paper which Brown had brought. I don't
know what became of all of it, but after this I was sent to
Buncher's. I know I took more paper to Buncher's after
this. While we were living at Angel-place, Wm. Aubery
came to visit us in the latter end of June or beginning of
July. It was on a Sunday evening. Aubery and his wife
took tea with us, and then we all went for a walk towards
Battersea-park. The next day Aubery came again. I did
not hear what he said. Burnett told me he had given
Aubery some of the paper t o give to a person named Robert
Cummings, who was going to Birmingham, and, that he
had supplied him with money for his expenses. I recollect
a letter coming for Burnett. It was directed to " Mr.
Johnson." Burnett told me he had given that name to
Cummings. After he had read the letter, he said Cum-
mings wanted some money, but he should not send any.
The next day Burnett went to Birmingham alone, and re-
turned the following Saturday. He said he and Cummings
had had words, and that Cummings had tried to choke him.
About a fortnight after this a person calling himself Cum,
wings came to our place. That is the man at the bar
He asked for a person named Johnson, and I told him he
had left. Burnett was then up stairs in bed. I afterwards
saw Cummings in Orchard-street, Westminster. He ac-'
costed me and asked me if I had seen " Johnson." I said
No." After this Burnett and I went to different places ;
ultimately toWhitechurch. Recollect the reward. Sawßrown
and Burnett reading the paper. In October of the present
year, some days" before I was apprehended, Burnett told
me to go to Buncher's house to ask him to lend him 'some
money. I saw Mrs. Buncher. She told me to call next
day. I recollect the evening before I was apprehended on
the 27th, Burnett went out and afterwards sent me a note
telling me he should not be at home all night, as he was
going to Birmingham.
By Mr. Pater—lt was after the 24th or 25th of October
that I went to Buncher's. On every occasion that I went
I had my dealings with Mrs. Buncher, but Buncher used
to come into the room. I never received anything from
him but the joints of meat. I was convicted with Burnett
in 18i7 in the Central Criminal Court. James Sankey, a
policeman, was convicted with us, It was not for bur-
glary.
Mr. Bennett--Mr. Freshfield, I hope you'll stop that,
It has nothing to do with the case.
Mr. Freshfield—The witness is in the hands of the Lord
Mayor.

dross-examinel-1 was convicted at the Middlesex Ses-
sions, in 1854, for stealing a gold watch from a gentleman.
I was living apart from Burnett at the time. I have
always passed as Mrs. Burnett. I never was called Mrs.
Mills. That I swear.

Mr. Pater—Have you never given the name of Williams;
now, were you not convicted at the Middlesex Sessions in
that name ?
Witness—Well, now, I recollect I was convicted in that
name. It quite slipped my memory. I own the mistake
at once,

Mr. Pater—gave you not given the name of Ellen Day
as being yours ?

Witness— Not in court. I have been called " I
am at present living under the surveillance of the police. I
first spoke to Sergeant Moss about this matter. My object
was not one of reward,
Mr. Pater—Was it not for the purpose of obtaining a
shorter term of imprisonment for Burnett.
Witness—No. Nothing of the kind has been held out to
me by the police. But I do hope through my evidence that
may be the result.
Examination continued.—My statement was first taken
down by Sergeant Moss. I did not relate it all at once. I
stated par' of it to Inspector Hamilton and Sergeant
Moss.

Mr. Pater—Then it was cooked up between you.
Mr. Freshfield interposed.
Mr. Pater, Moss, Hamilton, and you, I suppose, agreed
whot was to be taken, and if that is not nooking I don't
know what is.
Mr. Freshfield—The witness is anxious to speak the
truth, and I think the application of the term " cooked,"
as it is understood in the City of London, is highly im-
proper.
Alderman Cubitt—The police have had a very difficult
duty to perform, and supposing there had been 20 inter-
views with the witness, and after that had reduced the
information to writing, it could not be called " cooking.%
Cross-examination continued—l have not had frequent
interviews with Burnett while he was in prison.
Cummings, to witness—When I came that morning you
speak of, did you not tell me that Johnson was gone to
work ?

Witness—No ; I said he had left, but I thought my hus-
band could find him.
Cummings—When you saw me in Westminster, was it
not near the White Horse ?
Witness—l don't know. You were with somebody, but
I did not hear what you were speaking about.
Cumming—Now we only want the truth. Do you mean
to say I accosted you first in Westminster, or did you not
recognise me,
Witness—l might have made a mistake about that.
won't be co tain, but you seemed to recognise me as soon
as I saw you.

Cumming—Did you ever see me and Burnett in conver-
sation in your life.

Witness—No, never.
The evidence of Smith, City detective, who accompanied
Sergeant
Moss to Mrs. Campbell's, at Stratford, was next
given. It was merely a repetition of that given on the
last examination, when Moss said ho heard Buneher say
that he had got £30,000 the right stuff, ane the ---
Bank of England could not touch him. fie also said that
when Burnett was arrested in Birmingham he denied all
knowledge of the robbery. While he was conveying Bur-
nett to London, while waiting at Rugby for the train, he
he (the prisoner) became much excited, and exclaimed
two or three times. "I am a persecuted man. If 1 find
they have rounded upon me. let the whole lot into the
hole." After he had conveyed Burnett to the Mansion.
house he said, in reference to the detention of his wife,
4, It's a pity you should have Nelly here ; you had better
make ber evidence."
Caroline Finrh—l assist my uncle at the Bull's Head,Barnett
Moor-street, Birmingham. I recollect Cummings hiring
bad there in August last. A few days after that B
came and asked if an old man named Cummings
Lug there. I said there Was. 4150 bird Was stay"
a bed. I alter-

Sarah keep a lodging-house in Birmingham.
I recollect Cummings and Burnett coming to my house in
August last. They asked for something to eat. After
this they went up to a room on the second floor, and then I
heard them quarrelling. I went up stairs a few minutes
after, and then I saw Burnett getting up from the floor.
He (Burnett) told me Cummings had been trying to
strangle him. Burnett went out, but Cummings stopped a
short time after he had left. I saw them both on the fol-
lowing afternoon. _ _

Cummings—When you saw me, was I drunk or was I
sober P—Drunk.

William Darby, a cab driver in Birmingham, identified
Cummings and Burnett as the persons who had hired him
to drive them to the London and North-Westem Railway
Station.

Alderman Cubitt—Do you wish to ask any questions
Cummings—No. I don't recollect anything about it; I
was too drunk.

Mr. Freshfield said that was all the evidence he proposed
offering to-day. On the next occasion he hoped he should
be able to close his case against the prisoners.
Cummings—I should like to know whether any more
evidence is to be brought against me, as I think I ought
to have a legal adviser. I ought to know. They've been
long enough about this case.
_ _

Alderman Cubitt said there was no objection to a legal
adviser appearing for Cumming, if he wished to have one.
The prisoners were then remanded till this day week.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The supply of beasts on offer in to-day's market was only
moderate, both as to number and quality. Selected breeds
sold steadily at full prices ; otherwise, tho beef trade was
in a sluggish state on former tetras. Prime sheep com-
manded extreme currencies, but inferior breeds met a slow
sale at late rates. The top price was 5s 8d per 81bs. The
supply was by no means extensive. We were heavily
supplied with calves, which changed hands slowly at a de.
dine in the quotations of 8d per Blbs. Inferior calves Bold
as low as 3s 2d per Blbs. Pigs moved cif steadily at full
prices, but mulch cows were very dull.

• In a fog, in a fog,

.itow What to do, what b think,
What to eat, what to drink;
For everything is stated, •
To be so adulterated,
That if you wish to live,
You from eating must forbear,
And the best advice to give,
Is to live upon the air :
Only that is full of blacks,
And so very far from pure,
That salubrity it lacks,
And so what to do Pm sure,
That through his brief existence man may comfortably jog,
Would the greatest of philosophers envelope in a fog.
In a fog, in a fog,
In a wretched state of fog I
Are the makers of our laws,
For effect to find a cause,
When they try to give attention,
To the subject of Prevention,
Which is better than a Cure,
If they can but find the way,
But though every one is sure
He can something on it say,
Still, when Parliament we seek,
To help us, shall we not
Find the orators who speak
All collectively have got
Through the hazy, mazy blue-books, that the clearest head
would clog,

Into what we may denominate a legislative fog ?
In a fog, in a fog,
In a frightful state of fog I
Is the man who wants to know,
Whilst year after year we go
On boasting that the latest
Stage of progress is the greatest,
That there never was a race,
That made commerce stand so high,
With integrity its base;
When he asks the reason why
So constantly we read,
Strange accounts of money made,
By a process which, indeed,
Seems the thimble-rig of trade?
With the Bankrupt-list appearing, like an awful catalogue,
Of those who from the right path far, have wandered in
a fog.

In a fog, in a fog,
In a dreadful state of fog I
With those vagabonds about,
For our watches looking out,
From the prison liberated,
With their servitude abated,
Who our neat are nightly twisting,
As we home are walking fast,
Puzzled whether we're existing,
In this century or the last.
In a fog about the meaning
Of the talk of better dealing,
With our criminals, when leaning
To false mercy, they go stealing
More than ever, twice as clever, when for burglary agog
They shroud the prison chaplain in hypocrisy's dense fog.

lying hero, en going to his quarters found the door fastened
on the inside, and, having obtained help to break it open,
found his servant sitting dead in a chair, having committed
suicide by shooting himself. The unfortunate man had
seated himself in the chair, and resting his chin on the
muzzle of a gun, drawn the trigger with his foot, the shot
going upwards through his head and killing him instantly.
The only reason ass:gned for the rash act is a disappoint-

THE WILD ARROWROOT OF INDIA.--It is not
easy to decide whether the wild arrowroot of India is idea.
tical with the cultivated species from the mere feoula or
starch. A cup of arrowroot made of the one is not distin-
guishable from a cup made of the other, except perhaps by
a slightly earthy taste and smell observable in the wild
arrowroot, which is easily accounted for by its imperfect
manufacture. The process is as simple as can be. The
tubers are taken up in the cold season, washed, put into a
let ge wooden mortar, and mashed. The mash is then taken
out and well washed in cold water, the water drained off,
and set to stand in large flat vessels, in which it depositsa
i large. proportion of this arrowroot flour, which is re-washed
in cold water, and set to dry in the sun,-2/4 Owen
