The House then went intoaCoinmittee of Supply, Mr,
Bernal in the Chair.

Upon a rote of 50,000/. beinproposed for the new
Houses of Parliament.

Mr. OSBORNE said he wished to draw the attention
cf the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the house to
this vote. They were now called upon regularly every
year to vote larger sums of money for the new Houses
of Parliament, and he thought, if the Finan-
cial Reform Association of Liverpool, instead
of troubling themselves so much about soldiers
coats, bad directed their attention to this subject
would have done a great deal of good.—(Hear, hear.)
Already this had exceeded that estimate by 800,0002
He had heard that those Houses of Parliament could
not be finished under leas than three millions
and a half. He thought it would be exceedingly de-
sirable that the Chancellor of the Exchequer should call
for a vote of a large sum to finish those Houses of Par-
liament at once.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. HUME thought it exceedingly desirable
that before they proceeded any further the House
should be
.provided with an estimate of the
probable expense that would be required fur com-
pleting the works. He thought it was exceed-
ingly _ objectionable to ♦ote that or any sum
of money until the House was furnished with such an
estimate.

THE STA_NFIELD-HALL
MURDERS.

TRIAL OF RUSH.

(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER)

NORWICH, SATURDAY.
(Emily Sandford's evidence, continued from our
Third Edition of Saturday.)
Examination continued—When the conversation took
place with respect to the:poachers, and the anecdote of
Bruce and the spider was related, she said she feared
there was something more than poachers that took him
out; to which he said he should like her better if she did
not make any remarks of the kind, telling her " not to
ask him any question then."
Rush—Now I will ask you who told you I intended
to send you to France? Witness (crying)—My Lord,
am I obliged to answer that question? he wishes me to
expose matters in connexion with my family.
Rush disclaimed any intention of the kind; ho merely
wished an explicit reply to the question.
Witness—One of my brothers told me you had said
so: you did say so.

Al the request of Rush Mrs. Bryant (who bad sat by
the side of the witness) was directed to leave the court.
Cross-examination resumed—Mrs. Bryant had told
her to keep her spirits up; that was all she had said
to her.
Mrs. Bryant was called back.

Cross-examination resumed—lnvariably made copies
of all letters sent out by the prisoner to different parties.
Had seen letters to the prisoner from Mr. Jenny; but
this was sometime before the murder. Ho told her that
the letters were Mr. Jermy's ; she only knew his
writing from what he bad told her. Knew he received
some time ago a copy of an old will in a soiled envelope,
on which a number of postage stamps were pasted, from
the Rev. Mr. Preston, Mr. Jermy's father. Believed she
made a copy of a letter which the prisoner had directed
to Mr. Jermy on the subject of the will.

Rush said he had given the prosecution notice to pro-
duce the document—it was a lithographed letter.
Cross-examination continued—Knew he had in pos-
session a vast quantity of old documents relating to pro-
perty—they were usually spread on a table in the
"living-room." Having been asked if she had particu-
larly noticed any of the papers, she said she had noticed
one mysterious letter written by James Rush, the pri-
soner's son, to his sister, in which her name (witness's)
was mentioned.

Mr. Baron ROLFE thought the purport of the letter
immaterial. No further question was, therefore, asked
with respect to it.

Cross-examination continued—Had seen a small
parchment book; but did not recollect his taking some of
the leaves out of it to make a parcel. On the day follow-
ing the murder (Wednesday) Mr.•Winterworth came and
took possession of the papers after the prisoner had been
taken into custody. She was not told that she would be
kept in custody until she had given her evidence. She
went with him in a gig, Savory sitting behind.
Rush—Was anything said to you when you were
going to the hall? Witness—Nothing further thun
some generalobservationv.

Rush—Did you see Hubbersty, the police officer,
;herd? %Viincss—Yes, I did.

Rush—Was there any conversation about what had
passed th© night before? Witness—Not the least.
Rush—Had you any tea when you got back to Pot-
ash after going to the liridewell ou Thursday? Witness
—Yes.

Rush—What took place? Witness—l don't recollect
anything that took place, I don't know anything more
about it than you do.
Ru►h—llo you not recollect when I asked Mr. John
Cann whether he took down your examination on oath
in December, he turned round and spoke to you?
W itness —Mr. John Cann never did tura round and
speak to me.
__ _

Rush—Do you not recollect that Mr. Thomas Jermy
refused to sign the agreement which was drawn up fur
him and Lanier in blylne street? Witness—l think he
expressed great reluctance to the inquiry.
Rush—How long do you think I was at breakfast the
morning after the murder? Witness—l can't say.
Rush—Do you recollect me saying to the policeman
that Mr. Cann was my enemy? Witness—l do not re-
collect it.

Rush—Do you recollect Mr. Salter coming to Potash
on the Ist of December, 1847, when my poor mother
was there. Witness—Yes.

Rush—Were you there when he passed through the
room where my mother was? Witness—Yes.
Rush—Do you likewise recollect taking ninety-nine
sovereigns and fourpcace off the table? Witness—Yes,
I believe I did.

JUDGE-What passed? Witness—Rush said, " I
have tendered these sovereigns to Mr. Salter."
Rush—Did I not tell you to keep that money, as I
wanted to prove that I had tendered it to Mr. Salter?
Witness—Yes, you did; and I took it and made a little
memorandum of it.
Rush —Have you, since your examination, had any
communication with Mr. Wilson as to what was to
of
be-
come you after this trial? Wltness—Yes, I have.
Rush—Have you applied to Mr. Cann? IV ituess—
Yes.

- Rush—To any other solicitor? Witness—No.
Rush—Have you received any money since I left you?
Witness—No.

Rush—Have you been promised any?—Witness said
no, I have not.

Rush—Do you know who was in the room when I was
examined at Bridewell? Witness—No, Ido not recol-
lect all of them.

Rush—What did the coroner ask you when he examined.
you? Did he look to any papers for his questions? Wit-
ness—No, I saw none.
Rush—On the night of the sth of October, when I
went from Potash, did I not tell you that I was going to
see Mr. Jermy, and what it was for? Witness—No,
you did not.
Rush—Did we not come to an understanding that
all letters between us were to be burned? Witness—
You used to say that if I would burn your letters you
would burn mine. When you wrote to me in London
you shays persisted in having the letters burned.
JUDGE—If you press these things, which are imma-
terial, I shall confine you to the strict line of examina-
tion. Not one-third of the questions you have put have
been relevant.

Rush—ilave you not told me that I should never
marry any one else, if I did not marry you? Witness
—You told me that, and I
„charged you with being un-
faithfuL

Rush—Did you not tell Mrs. Stacey that I was going
to get married to an aunt of y ours, who resided at Maiden-
head? Witness—Yes, I did so, but it was by your di-
rection. Between ourselves, I always treated the matter
as a mere joke.
Rush—Did you not cry very mach about it? Witness
—Yes.

,
Rush—Did I not say, " Come to me and kiss me, and
I will forget all ,bout it." Witness—l went up to my
room, and presently you came up, and said, " We must
make it up; think no more about it."
Rush—A paper marked C, dated October 10th, has
been produced; what did you copy that from? Witness
—I copied it from another paper.
Rush—Rave you not said that a piece of paperp!
copied from was a copy of certain of my writings? w"
ness—l copied it from a rough copy of yours.

The witness here exhibited signs of faintness, and a
medical gentleman, who bad been in court from the
commencement of her evidence, spoke to her on the
subject.

Itush (to the witness)—Did the medical gentleman say
anything to you except as to the state of your health?
Witness—No, nothing.

Rush—On your solemn oath, did you copy any paper

fur me, at Mrs. Stacey's, and read it afterivards-.
ness—Certainly I did. I remember it distinctly.
Rush—What paper was that ?—(Three documents
were handed to the witness).
JUDGE—Which of these papers was it you wrote at
Mrs. Stacey's? Witness—That was the one (handing it
to the Judge).
Rush—You solemnly swear that is the document you
wrote at Mrs. Stacey's Witness—l do swear that.
Rush—Which of them did you write at Potash? Wit-
ness—l wrote at Potash the paper about the Felming-
ham leases.
Rush—Upon your oath, was not all, you have stated
about drawing out these papers prepared for you by,
Mr. Cann ? In other words, is it not all false? Wit-
ness—No.
Mr. Pensen, the Governor of Norwich Castle, was
then called and examined—l was present at the cross-
examination of Emily Sandford, on December 3d. I
heard the prisoner say, "If she signs that (her deposi-
tion), I hope her hand may rot off ; and if she has a
child by me, I hope it may be born with a brand on it."
After I heard those expressions, I received a letter
from him. I received one from him before.
Cross-examined by Rush—l received a note from Mr.
Cann, which I showed to the prisoner. I produce a
carpet bag which the prisoner handed to me. The
lock was removed. It is in the same state as when the
prisoner gave it me. That is all I know of it. I know
the magistrates to some extent prevented communication
between the prisoner and Emily Sandford, but still the
prisoner saw her.
The next witness called was Honor Holmes, ex-
amined by Mr. Evans—ln November last I resided at
Stanfield-hall. On the evening of the 28th of Novem-
ber, in consequence of something said to me, I went to
the bridge over the road. That was about
half-past eight o'clock. Near the bridge I found two
young men, Harvey and Todd, and also Clark and
Leach, two of the maid-servants at the hall. We all went
through the gate at the end of the bridge, towards
Kettringham.gate, but after I got through the gate I
heard the report of a gun or pistol. I was looking from
the house at that time. I did not see anything. We
all went towards Kettringham-gate. Just after we got
through the gate I heard the bell ring. I immediately
turned back. I went into the house by the back way
and the stables. In doing so I should not cross the
bridge. I went in by the stable-yard. On going in I
left the shrubbery on the left hand. I heard Chestney
call when I got in. I found her at the bottom of the
staircase. Some time afterwards, about twenty minutes,
I picked up the paper produced. It is as follows:
" There are seven of us here, three of us inside and
four outside the hall, all armed as you see us two. If
any of you servantsoffer to leave the premises,'or follow,
you'll be shot dead. Therefore, all of you keep in the
servants' hall, and you nor any one else will take any
harm, for we are only come to take possession of the
Stanfield hall property.
(Signed) "THOMAS JERXT, the owner."
The document was written on the cover of an account
book. I picked it up by Elias Chestney's feet, in the
passage leading from the kitchen to the staircase-hall.
Some few weeks previous to the murder I heard a noise
in front of the house. It was like a person walking past.
It was about eight o'clock in the evening. The kitchen
window looks out towards the front of the house. I have
heard this noise three or four times. When I heard it
I looked out to endeavour to see any one. I observed a
person going across the lawn. It appeared like a man
in a cloak. The man was going towards the Wymond-
ham Lodge. It was about two hundred yards from the
house. About a week before I saw a man on the lawn.
Eliza Chestney was with me at the time.
Cross-examined by Rush—Before I met the parties
en the night of November, the cook, Reed, was with
me, and I left her in the servants' hall. When I went
to the bridge I bad no bonnet or shawl on. No one
went back for the bonnet and shawl. Mary Clark told
me there were people at the gate who wanted to speak
to me.

Rush—Whenlyou went out where was I standing?
Witness—Outside the gate.
Cross-examination continued—Clark said she would
go back for her shawl and bonnet, but I told her not to
do so. At that time Clark was outside the gate with
three young men. We all left the gate when we heard
the report of a gun. I recollect Thomas being there
when we heard the report of the first gun. I was stand-
ing next to him when the gun went off the first time. I
heard a groan. Harvey said he saw a man near the
door, and that he beard somebody. I heard the door
bang very loud. I knew it was the banging of the door.
It was not like the noise of a gun. Two or three minutes
afterwards I heard two more reports. Before I hoard
the bell I was about 150 yards from the hall. We all
stopped when we heard the bell. I afterwards went
back. Eliza Chestney was at the foot of the staircase.
I went in. At that time I did not see Wilson. I knew
her. I heard of the papers being picked up when Mr.
Stanley came in. I heard the two reports quite plain.
The paper which I picked up I gave to Mr. Clark.
From the time I left the bridge to the time I reached
the hall on the night of the 28th of November I did not
see the hall. There was a light in the butler's pantry
when I returned.

Rush—lf any one after the report had passed along
by the right side of the porch would you not have seen
it? Witness—l don't know, I was not thinking of it at
Om time.
Rush—Did yon see Miss Sandford, or the " widow
James," as she is called, the day after the murder ?
Witness—Yts; I saw her in the cock's pantry, at Stan-
field .hall.

Rush—What was she there for ? Witness—To be
examined.

Cross-examination continued—Emily Sandford told
me she felt ♦ery faint, and I got her some water. Sho
asked how Mrs. Jermy was. She did not ask me any
questions as to how it happaned. She said it was a
dreadful thing. She did rot mention your (the prisoner's)
name. I have not seen Emily Sandford between the
time of her leaving the hall and the trial. We have the
newspapers to read at the hall.

Re-examined by Mr. EvANs—We all turned round
when we heard the report, and then ran on.
Rush objected to some questions put by the Learned
Counsel.

The JUDGE—When you beard the two reports, how
far had you got from the bridge ? Witness—About ILO
yards.
Mr. EVANS —Which did you bear first, the two reports
or the bell ring? Witness—The two reports.
JUDGE— When you heard the bell ring, how far had
you got from the bridge? Witness—About 140 )ards.
John Stanley examined by Mr. PRENDERGAST—He
said I was at Stanfield-hall on the night of the murders.
I went there about 9 o'clock. This paper (the threaten•
ing notice dropped in the passage) was given me by
Watson.

Cross-examined by Ilush-,lt was about 9 o'clock. I
was at my brother's in the early part of the evening,
near the church at Wymondbam. I went to the hall by
myself. I passed Mr. J. Cann as I was going up. I
don't remember seeing any one at Wymondham Lodge.
On arriving at the hall I saw Mr. Jcrmy lying dead at
the porch. I bad not heard any report or a gun. I left
Wymondham seven or eight minutes after I heard of
the murder. It was about twenty minutes after eight
that I heard of it. I ran home and got my horse, and
started immediately. I was told that the man who
committed the murders was a short stout man. I had
no description of his dress. I have seen pamphlets by
you (prisoner) relative to your disagreement with Mr.
Jermy.
Jesse White, examined by Mr. Sergeant By-LE3—I am
an accountant, residing at Wymondbam. I have known
the prisoner ten or twelve years. At one time he was
an auctioneer. I acted as his clerk part of the time.
About four years, perhaps. He made inventories and
other papers in his business. I have copied some that
he has made. I have seen him write a good many
times. I have seen his writing since he left off being an
auctioneer, but not very frt quently. I have written for
him since I left him.

Sergeant BYLES —ls this his handwriting? (handing
a letter addressed by the prisoner to Mr. Cann.) Wit-
ness—lt is.

Sergeant BYLIS—Is that his handwriting? (banding
up two letters, one dated April 28, 1848, and another
October 2, 1848) Witness—lt is.
Rush—What are your reasons for thinking that it is
my handwriting? Witness—Certain letters in the
words, particularly the j, f, and p.
Rush—How long is it since you did any writing for
me? Witness—Last Lent Assizes.

Rush—How long were you writing for me then?
Wituess—One day, besides copying some manuscripts.
I hai not done anything for you three or four years
before that.
Rush—Will you swear that is my handwriting?
Witness—l will swear I believe it to be.
Mr. Sergeant BYLES re•exasnined the witness at con-
siderable length on the subject of the handwriting, the
formation of the letters, and directed his attention to
several figures in the documents. Brom the general
character of the writing, and from the peculiar forma-
tion of certain letters, the witness fully believed the
handwriting to be that of the prisoner Rush. 1

Those covers (the

are unusually wide fur ordivary accounts. The lines
are
ruled before the books are made up. I have no doubt
the cover produced is from one of the books made at our
house, one set of which was sold to the prisoner.
Cross•examined by Rush—He had made one hundred
sets of books previously, but that they had larg+ r labels
than that from which the prisoner had his. The lines
perceptible on the cover of the book were not alone on
that which was sold to the prisoner.
Rush—Will you cut a piece of paper exactly the size
of the one on your books now produced, and see it it
corresponds with the size of the label torn off the book
thrown into Stanfield-hall, and on which the threatening
notice was written?
J uDoE —You can do that in time for your defence.
Rush—l have a right to have it now.
JUDGE—No, you here nut the right; but you shall
hive it.
Some further conversation ensued upon this matter,
which eventually dropped.
' Samuel Bignold, Esq., mayor of Norwich, proved that
certain documents found in Rush's possession, and pur-
porting to bear the signature of the late Mr. Isaac
Jerroy, were forgeries, the signature:sllK4 kelog ill OA

handwriting of Mr. Jermy. He knew the handwriting
of Mr. Jenny well.
Mary Ann Roe was next called, and examined by Ser-
gesnt Byles. She was the attesting witness to a deed
executed between Mr. Jenny and Mr. Rush. It was the

last mortgage.
Emily Sandford was then recalled, and Rush pro-
ceeded to examine her at great length upon her deposi-
tion taken before the magistrates. The Learned Judge
had frequent occasions to call him to order for the irre-
levancy of his questions, and for the improper manner in
whisk be pat others to the witness.
Rush (to witness)—Do you recollect me ever putting
my name to any paper with Mr. Jermy's signature to it?
Witness—No.
Rush (to the Judge)—Have you put that down, my
Lord? Judge—Not yet.
Rash—Then put it down.
J k d you ever see hint sign a paper on which
the. Mr. Jermy appeared? Witness—l can't
recollect whether or not I did, my Lord.
Rush (to Judge)—Put that down.
JUDGE—CouId you see whether blr. Jenny's name
was attached to the documents when they were filled up?
Witness—Not always, my Lord.
Rush (to witness)—Have you not in some of your
letters to me written in different hands? Witness—
Possibly.
Rush—Can you write different hands? Witness—l
can if I please.
Rush—Have you not committed some material errors
in the particulars of your going to Stanfield Hall on
the 10th of October ? Witness—Not that I am
aware of.
Rush—Have you never told any one that you went to
the ball that night? Witness—No.
Rush—Why did you so much want to go to Stanfield
Hall that night when I told you you could not? Wit-
ness—Why you knew very well it was to accompany

you.
Rush—l cannot understand it; it is quite mysterious
to me altogether. You know I had a square wooden box
with George Preston on it? Witness—Yes.
Rush—Have you not a gold watch in your possession
that I gave you to take care of? Witness—Yes, I have
it in my possession.
Rush—Did I not give you five sovereigns some time
ago? Witness—Yes.
Rush—Did you consider that it was for yourself or for
you to keep fur me? Witness—For myself.
Rush—Did you ever buy any household furniture your-
self? Witness—Yes, I bought a bed in London.
Rush—Out of your own money? Witness—No, out
of your money wiliest you gave me.
Several receipts for beds, household furniture, and
other things were handed in. It appeared that the wit-
ness had paid for them out of money given to her for that
purpose by the prisoner.
Rush—Did you not know that I had no money at the
time, and that what I spent came from my mother?
Witness—No.
Rush—Have you not put an "s" to the Mr., so as to
make the bills made out to Mrs. James. Witness—
Never; you have frequently been out with me, and have
introduoed yourself as Mr. James. I have kept them in
your possession since.
The prisoner then closed his cross-examination of the
unfortunate female, and she was allowed to retire, after
being in the witness-box altogether, on Friday and to-
day, upwards of 17 hours,
The next witness called was William Bowjen, and ex-
amined by Mr. PRENDERGAST—I was at Stanfield Hall on
the night of the 28th of November. I found a ramrod
there, which I produce. I found it in the hall, near to
the place where Mrs. Jermy was lying. I noticed the
wall was marked by a shot. It was near the doorway of
the staircase hall.
Cross-examined by Rush—l knew the hour, because
a gentleman pulled out his watch, and said it was ten
minutes to nine.
Rush—Was there a light? Witness—l did not see one.
Rush—When you were in the garden could you see a
light? Witness—No.
Rush—Did you see Mr. Jermy lying in the hall?
Witness—l did.
Rush—When you got out of the fly did you know Mr.
Jermy was lying in the place? Witness—No; I only
heard he was shot.
Rush—Was it a dark night? Witness—Yes, very
dark and windy.
JUDGE—Was the ramrod broken when you picked it
up? Witness —No.
[The ramrod was a short thick one, rather heavily
mounted with brass, and seemed more to have belonged
to a blunderbuss than a pistol.]
William Bailey, examined by Mr. EVANS —I was in the
service of the late Mr. Jermy. On Friday, the 24th of
November, I saw the prisoner as I was coming over the
fields. Ho asked me if Mr. Jermy or young Mr. Jermy
was at home. I had been thrashing out some corn for
the prisoner. He has not paid me for it.
Rush—When I asked you the question before the ma-
gistrates, did you not say that you were not sure, whe-
ther I asked you whether Mr. Jermy had been to Nor-
wich or not? Witness—No.
Rush here insisted upon having the depositions
taken before the magistrates read, which was accord-
ingly done, but his testimony was not shaken in the
slightest degree.
John Chapman, examined by Mr. Sergeant BYLES—I
am gate-keeper of the gate over the Eastern Counties
Railway at Kettringham. On the Saturday before the
murder, the prisoner asked me if I knew whether Mr.
Jermy was at home. I told him I did not know.
William Frederick Howe said I live in Marlborough-
street, Greenwich. I was a clerk to Mr. Waugh, solici-
tor, of Theobald's-road. In December, 1847, I was at
Jessop's, in Catherine-street, Strand. There was a con-
versation going on about boxing. The prisoner said to
a fighting man who was there also, "If I could strike
like you," addressing the fighting man, "I would knock
Jermy down like a bullock." On one occasion when he
was talking about the action that Mr. Jermy had brought
against him for ejectment, he said " He would soon serve
him with an ejectment for the other world," or " that it
will not be long before he has an ejectment for the other
world." He was alluding to Mr. Jermy. He frequently
used words of a very unfriendly character towards Mr.
Jermy.
Rush said he did not think it fair to examine this wit-
ness until he had made some inquiry concerning him; it
was only within the last few days that he had heard of
ho could not, therefore, cross-examine him until he
knew something about him.
JUDGE—Do you wish to postpone the cross-examina-
tion, it so, you can till Monday. Prisoner—Certainly.
JUDGE—Very well; I should have thought he did not
require cross-examining.
Alfred Atkinson, assistant clerk at the Wymondham
station, proved the sale of Rush's pamphlet at the
Wymondham station.
Robert Smith was next called—l recollect the period
of Mr. Jermy's murder. I know the way by Potash
Farm to Stanfield-hall. I should go by the footpath,
and thence across the turnip-field. I scattered straw
alongside the paths, by Mr. Rush's direction—(it was a
long 15 acres field)—about halfway along it, and also
in the worst of the places where it was done. I laid the
straw down on the Tuesday, when Mr. Jermy was
kil:ed. I laid some straw down there on the Friday
before. I saw some ono else laying straw down on the
previous Fridny. There was some lying down there
when I was putting it down.
Rush ea as-examined the witness, and he was re-ex-
amined by the Recorder, but there was nothing to shake
his testimony.
A policeman, whose evidence was disallowed on ac-
count of its confused and contradictory character, hav-
ing been examined, an application was made for a
postponement.
Baron ROLFE assented, and informed the prisoner that
the case for the prosecution would close on Monday
morning. The prisoner would therefore be ready for
his defence at that time, and he hoped that on Monday
it would close.
The Court then adjourned until Monday morning.
