UNDER ROYAL PATRONAGE.
BEWLEY, FISHER, AND CO.'S
CONCENTRATED ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER.
—This Preparation contains, in a highly concentrated state, and
without the addition of any more heating stimulant, all the car-
minative and restorative properties of this useful and grateful aro-
matic, separated from the ligneous fibre which constitutes the bulk
of the root. As few stomachs are able to bear a sufficient quantity
ofthe powder to produce the desired effect, BE WLEY, FISHER, and
CO. conceive this form of exhibition the most convenient, when
taken in water, tea, beer, wine, &c. ; or for combination with other
medicine, ten drops being equal to eight grains of the powder. It is
recommended to persons of Phlegmatic, Gouty, Dyspeptic, and Ner-
vous habits. Its beneficial effects are quickly diffused throughout
the whole system, relieving cramps, spasms, flatulency, pain, and
sense of oppressi,a after meals, arid restoring the tone of the
stomach. Its utility is also manifested as an adjunct to other medi-
cines, and in correcting the chill which soda and other aerated or
mineral waters give the stomach, as well as in adding to their tonic
property.
In bottles at 2s. Gd. and 45., prepared only by BEWLEY, FISHER,
and Co., Dame-street, Dublin, Chemists to the Queen and Princ e
Albert, by Special Appointment.
Also their Anodyne Lettuce Lozenges, for coughs, colds, asthma,
and affections of the chest.
Doctor Duncan, of Edinburgh, and other leading members of the
profession, have strongly recommended Lactucarium (the inspis-
sated juice of the garden Lettuce) as possessing peculiarly soothing
and quieting properties in the above complaints, and especially in
the troublesome cough attendant on consumption. To increase its
efficacy, Bewley, Fisher, and Co. have combined it with hippo and
demulcents, and have adopted the form of a lozenge as being the
most agreeable mode for its administration.
Sold in packets ls. Iy, d. each, by all Chemists in the United
Kingdom, and prepared sololy by Bewley, Fisher, and Co., Dame-
street, Dublin, Chemists to the Queen and Prince Albert, by Special

T O A N OL D
Come, venerable musket, come, GU N.
And have a song from me ;
For certainly I owe a sum
Of gratitude to thee.
Thou and myself for years have been
Companions of the field,
Where oft thy shooting powers were seen,
And mine alike revealed.
How often have I lifted up
Thy barrel and thy stock,
While Master Dash, sagacious pup,
Has marked some hen or cock.

And now, once more, respected piece,
Thou'lt act with Dash's snout,
For leaves are scarce, and summer's lease
Is very nearly out.

My shooting coat, from M. and Son,
Is ready for the sport,
Aad such an admirable one
Of Moies have I bought.
As long as thou bast marked In alr
The children of the wing,
I've never had the luck to wear
A better sort of thing.

Moses and Son may well be sought
By every sporting Don,
When such prime garments may be bought,
As that which I have on.

THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.
ARRIVAL OF MANNING IN LONDON.
Frederick George Manning was brought over from
Jersey yesterday in the South-Western Steam-
packet Company's mail steamer the Despatch, Cap-
tain Childers, which ran into Southampton Docks at
ten minutes past seven o'clock last evening, having
left St. Helier's at eight o'clock yesterday morning.
The last train for the metropolis having left
Southampton at six o'clock, he was brought on to
London by a special engine, to obviate the incon-
venience of detaining the prisoner in that port
through the night.
The special train arrived at Vauxhall station at
ten o'clock precisely ; and a cab being in readiness
the prisoner was placed in it, and conveyed in the
custody of Inspector Haynes and Sergeant Langley
to the police station at Stone's-end.
The following authentic particulars of the arrest of
Manning in Jersey are given by a reporter, who
accompanied the prisoner from Jersey :
Manning arrived in Southampton about two o'clock on
Wednesday, the 15th ult., and took up his quarters at
the Oxford Arms Inn, near the railway terminus. Here
he remained the whole afternoon, and at midnight left
for Jersey, by the South-Western Steam-packet Com-
pany's mail ship the Despatch.
During the voyage he appeared on deck very little,
confining himself to the fore cabin, and drinking brandy
immoderately. On reaching Jersey he disembarked, and
in company with a fellow-passenger, named Turk, with
whom he had contrived to scrape acquaintance, walked
into the town of St. Helier's. Arriving at the Navy At ms
Inn, near the harbour, he walked into the house, and,
with Mr. Turk, applied for the usual accommodation.
Mrs. Berry, the landlady, happened to have only one
double-bedded room disengaged, and this apartment hav-
ing been offered to the two applicants was accepted—
Manning agreeing to pay Bs. per week for the rent of
the room. On Thursday Manning went out in company
with Mr. Turk to see the island, as he described it.—He-
returned hpme in the evening and partook of tea with
the landlord and landlady, subsequently joining the com-
pany in the parlour, and entering freely into conversa-
tion with all who came into the room. There was a pecu-
liarity about him which was not at all agreeable to the
landlord, and he was even less liked by the company.
He was particularly overbearing in his manner, and fre-
quently got into altercation with the parties to whom he
addressed observations, and with Mr. Turk, the indivi-
vidual who accompanied him to the Navy Arms, among
the rest. On Friday night ho was particularly rude to
this person, and some conversation having arisen on the
subject of money, Manning contemptuously addressed
his companion in the following terms:—" Why,
fellow, I can show more 501. notes than you can sove-
reigns." Mr. Turk at once put down all the gold in his
pocket (five or six sovereigns), upon which Manning rose
from his seat and said, " Oh, never mind, old fellow, why
should you and I quarrel?" After which the conversa-
tion dropped. During Saturday Manning went out as
usual, returning in the evening to the Navy Arms, and
on the following morning he asked the landlord where
he could go to church. In the course of the day he
had a great deal of conversation with Mr. Berry,
telling him that he had lost all his money in the
French revolution, and that he must go to Paris to
settle his effairs. He inquired what it would cost to
go across to Granville, the opposite port on the French
coast; and upon ascertaining that he could go for
about 20e, he expressed an intention of doing so, and
begged that Mr. Berry, who we should add is a sea-
faring man, would accompany him as an interpreter.
Mr. Berry declined, and advised Manning, if he wanted
to go to Paris, to return to London and go by the
usual route to that capital, which he seemed to accede to,
desiring to be called in time for the packet leaving
Jersey on the following morning. He was duly roused,
but declined to get up, and Mr. Turk having left Jersey
on that day, Manning remained the occupant of the
double-bedded room alone. He seldom dined at home,
but took two or three meals a-day in the house, and
always ate most voraciously—to use the landlord's own
words, " As much as any three ordinary men."
On the Sunday evening Manning entered the parlour
of the Bath Hotel, kept by Mr. Seward, one of the most
respectable hostelries at St. Helier's, and joined in con-
versation with several tradesmen there assembled. The
same overbearing manner which had rendered his
company so disagreeable at the Navy Arms distin-
guished him here. In the course of the evening
he complained bitterly of the difficulty of obtaining
good living in Jersey, and said he had had
but one good dinner since he had been on the island,
and that was off a conger eel. He added that he ought
not to feel surprised, fur before he left town his brother
clerk had said to him, " Fred, my boy, you'll find the
Jersey people a d-----1 set of humbugs." The super
cilious tone the fellow adopted in making this observa-
tion was not very gratifying to the persons assembled,
and one of them, named l'urkis, who it will be seen sub-
sequently took an active part in his apprehension, sar-
castically replied, " I tell you what, sir, you'll find Jer-
&-y a very healthy place, for where there is one die there
are 20 bolt." Manning, still in the same supercilious
tone, rejoined, " What do you mean by ' bolt,' Sir?"
Mr. Put kis told him that in plain English it meant ab-
sconding; upon which Manning threw himself back in
his chair and laughed heartily. In the course of the
evening a gentleman present having mentioned that he
came from Derby, Manning asked him if he knew the
family of Massey, of Swarkstone, near that place; and
with a singular fatality he went on to explain that the
old gentleman's son had lodged with him in London
while walking the hospitals; that he was a sad dog,
and, suiting the action to the word, he took up his hat,
and said, " Look here; the fellow changed hats with
me before he left my house, and here is his name in
the one I wear." This conversation, it must be re-
collected, took place before any news of the Ber-
mondsey murder ,had reached Jersey, although it was
known in London; the newspapers published on Satur-
day (in which the account first appeared) not reaching
Jersey until the Tuesday following. During the re-
mainder of the evening Manning preserved the same
swaggering manner, boasting of his position and describ•
ing himselt as a traveller for a cloth warehouse. One
gentleman, more sceptical than the rest, expressing him-
self doubtful of something that Manning had said, he, in
a domineering tone and manner, pulling at the same time
from his pocket a large card, said " If you are not satis-
fied, here's my card." He, however, took care not to
exhibit the card, and it is not known what name was in-
scribed upon it. While at the Bath Hotel, on this even-
ing, he drank a quantity of brandy and water, and when
the company broke up was rather intoxicated. He had
previously said that he was staying at the Union Hotel,
and when he left the house Mr. John Henlis, who sub-
sequently took part in his apprehension, observing that
he turned in a wrong direction for the Union, said, "I
beg your pardon, sir, but I think you are going out of
your road." Manning turned round and replied, " I know
perfect well where I have got to go to. Good night." On
the afternoon of the following day he called again at the
Bath Hotel, and asked Mrs. Seward's permission to walk
into the bar parlour. She allowed him to do so, and the
fellow, seating himself in a chair, entered into conversa-
tion with her. The want of tact ho again exhibited
while talking to Mrs. Seward was, it will be seen, most
extraordinary. Had he desired to secure his own ap-
prehension he could scarcely have taken a more likely
course to obtain. He began by describing himself as a
traveller for Sir R. Burnett's British gin, and spoke in
high terms of Sir Robert's establishment. Mrs. Seward,
knowing that her husband obtained his gin from Sir
Robert Burnett, was naturally surprised at this statement
and sho at once told him that Mr. Seward ob-
tained all the gin lie had from Mr. Mann, the agent for
Sir Robert, on the island. Manning, without exhibiting
any alarm at this fact, threw himself back in his chair,
laughed heartily, and exclaimed, .' How very strange!
My name is Mann—;" and then stopping short, Mrs.
Seward did not catch the last syllable. He remained for
some length of time, spoke of the island as a most de-
lightful place, and said he should bring his dear wife
with him the next time he came. He also took occasion
to tell Mrs. Seward that his wife was a very fine woman
—that she was passionately fond of him, and that she
always addressed him as her " Dear Fred."
Before leaving Bath Hotel Manning ascertained
that Mr. Seward was in England, but that
he would return on the following morning
(Tuesday). He said he should be glad to make his ac-
quaintance, and would call the next morning, and or-
dered a grilled fowl for lunch, which Mrs. Seward pro-
mised to get ready. On the evening of this day, while
walking in the streets of St. Helier's, Manning met a
gentleman whom he formerly knew at Taunton, and who
is staying in Jersey, passing his honeymoon. The gen-
tleman observed Manning first, and not wishing to re-
cognise him turned his head away before the other saw
him. It is supposed that Manning having remarked his
presence on the island felt that it would be unsafe to
remain in St. Helier's, and determined to go further in-
land. He kept his appointment, however, at the Bath
Hotel on the following day, arriving about eleven o'clock.
Mr. Parsons, the late clerk of the Hampton racecourse,
with another gentleman, was seated in the room at this
time, and whether Manning recognised his face or not is
uncertain, but after looking into the room be hastily
withdrew, and was seen no more at the Bath Hotel.
The landlord of the Navy Arms, where he lodged up
to this time, states, that he noticed a remarkable change
in his manner after Monday, and his altered appearance
was also remarked and observed upon by the company
who met him in the parlour on the evening of each day.
On the Sunday afternoon Manning hailed the driver of
the St. Aubin's omnibus in St. Helier's, and taking his
seat on the box rode along the coast in the direction of
St. Lawrence. He talked freely to the driver, a man
named Phillips, during his ride, and remarked on the
beauties of St. Peter's Valley, through which they passed.
On arriving at the hamlet of St. Lawrence he waved his
hand in token of recognition to a gentleman who was
walking by the roadside. The gentleman not recognising
him as a friend failed to acknowledge the salute, upon
which Manning said to the driver, " Is not that gentle-
man's name Ford?" The driver replied that it was, and
that he lodged at the British Lion, a small road-side inn
near at hand. Manning hereupon exclaimed, "Dear
me, how very odd; he's a most particular friend of mine,
I knew him most intimately four or five years ago." The
omnibus proceeded on its journey through the valley,
and on its return brought Manning back as far as the
British Lion, where he alighted. On entering the house
ha immediately went up to fir. Ford, who was seated

near the entrance, and said " Ah, Ford, my dear fellow,
how do you do? lam so glad to see you." Mr. Ford
at once recognised the person who addressed him as
Manning, and recollected having frequently met him at
the Globe, in South Audlev-street, where Manning's
hriiimaesrelybtaormdianinde,-ra, and where she was visited
by her brother. Mr. Ford having shaken hands, Man-
snisintgerinll'v.aistedfohimself
a
and dine with Mr. Ford and a widownd alac,tiuyany didwbok remain
the
house. During dinner he spoke freely to Mr. Ford,
and appeared (pito at ease. After dinner he asked
Mr. Ford if he understood the French languega ?
Mr. Ford said he did slightly, upon which M an-
ping begged that he would acco:npany him to
France, as he wanted to go there and arrange several
matters relating to some property.uch obliged to Mr.
lie said he would
pay all expenses, and be very
Ford if he would go. Mr. Ford declieed, and enter-
taining some suspicions as to Manning's honesty asked
him, " Are you married, Mr. Manning ?" Manning re-
m
plied " Yes." Mr. Ford said, "Where is your wile ?"
Manning rejoined, " Oh, she is in London. The fact is
I have 200!. or 3001, to lay out, and I have come over
here to see how I can invest it best. When I have de-
termined upon a course I shall return to England and
fetch my wife." He added that he was then in treaty
for the purchase of a brewery at St. Heiler's. Mr. Ford
asked him whose brewery ? Upon which Manniug re-
marked that he was not at libery to give the name at
present. In the course of the afternoon Manning ex-
pressed a strong desire to see Mr. Ford on the following
day. Mr. Ford said he was engaged on Monday and
Tuesday, and ultimately an appointment was made for
the following Wednesday, when Manning promised that
he would dine with Mr. Ford at his lodgings. He came
at the hour appointed on that day, but Mr. Ford not
being at all anxious to renew his acquaintance with his
quondam friend, was not at home, at which Manning
expressed some surprise, and asked whether he had not
left a message for him. The landlady said he had not ;
and ultimately Manning remained to dinner with this
lady and her daughter, and in the course of an hour_ or
' two left, as-was supposed, foi St. Helier's.
Within about 300 yards of the British Lion, on the
same line of road, stands a neat little cottage, over the
door of which are inscribed the words, "Prospect House,"
the windows looking directly into the bay of St. Aubin,
and commanding a view of Queen Elizabeth's castle and
all the picturesque scenery on that part of the coast.
This house is occupied by an aged couple, natives of
Jersey, named Berteau, the old man tilling a little land,
and his wife increasing her store by letting lodgings.
Two rooms in the house are occupied by a carpenter and
his wife, also natives of Jersey, named Wieldon, and
neither of the families speak more than a few words of
English, generally conversing in the Jersey patois. To
this house Manning appears to have gone after leaving
the British Lion on Wednesday, and observing a bill in
the window he inquired what apartments they had to let.
Mrs. Berteau showed him a large bedroom which he ul-
timately hired at 4s. per week, and he arranged to take
his meals with the wife of the carpenter, who was to
make his bed and wash for him. Having promised to
return the same night he went away.
On arriving at St. Helier's he informed the landlord of
the Navy Arms that he should go away on the following
day for a short time to stop with his old friend, Mr.
Ford, at St. Lawrence, but that he should leave his
trunk and probably send for it on Saturday. He begged
at the same time that his bedroom might not be let, and
that the door should be kept locked. On the Thursday
morning he left the Navy Arms at an early hour, and
the landlord beard nothing more of his lodger until in-
quiries were made for him by Langley on the following
Saturday.
The first information the authorities in Jersey received
of the supposed arrival of Manning in that island was
through the following letter, addressed by Mr. Uter-
marck, the Crown Prosecutor of Guernsey, to his Ex-
cellency the Lieutenant-Governor of Jersey, Sir James
Reynett. This letter was posted at Guernsey on the
22d ult., and received by the Lieutenant-Governor on
the following day. We give the letter, as we consider
great credit is due to Mr. Utermarck for the part he
has taken in the affair:—
" Manor-place, Guernsey, August 22.
" Sir,—l forwarded by this day's mail to her Majesty's
Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department
the following circumstances, which were communicated
to a constable of this town yesterday, and by him laid
before me for my advice.
" You will, probably, deem them of sufficient import-
ance to justify certain inquiries being instituted in the
island of Jersey, and the communication of the result of
such inquiry to the Home-office.
" The London papers which reached this island yes-
terday—l allude more particularly to the Times of Sa-
turday and Monday last—contained accounts of a
dreadful murder at Bermondsey, of which a man named
Manning is suspected.
" The description of this man contained in the Times
of Monday exactly corresponds with the appearance of a
' person calling himself by the same name, who lived in
this island for four days in March last, at a respectable
lodging-house.
",The sister of the lodging-house-keeper had seen this
person there, and on the night from Wednesday, the
15th, to Thursday, the 16th of August, she was passen-
ger on board the Despatch steamer from Southampton,
and is convinced that she saw the man Manning passen-
ger on board, and that he did not land at Guernsey, and
therefore must have reached Jersey on Thursday,
the 16th. _ _ _

" The description of the person, as I have had it from
the lodging-house keeper (and I have no doubt he is the
same person who lodged in her house in March last as is
suspected of the murder), is a tall stout man, full face,
age 30 to 35, hair straight and long. with some peculiar
mark or swelling over the eye.
" I trust, Sir, that the very serious nature of the case,
and the disappearance of the suspected person, will jus-
tify my intrusion in thus addressing your Excellency.
" I have the honour to be your Excellency's most
obedient, humble servant,
"JOHN DE H. UTERMARCIC,

" Her Majesty 'a Comptroller.
" To his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, Jersey."
On the same day that Mr. Utermarck wrote from
Guernsey, Mr. Mayne, writing from the office of the
Police Commissioners in London. addressed to the Go-
vernor of the island, Viscount Beresford, the following
note:—

-- •
" Metropolitan Police-office, 4, Whitehall-place,
"August 22.
"My Lord,—The Commissioners of Police of the
metropolis beg to enclose a printed bill of the particulars
of the murder of Mr. Patrick O'Connor, with a &scrip.
tion of Frederick George Manning, the supposed mur•
derer, for whose apprehension a reward has been granted.
"The Commissioners have some ground for believing
that he has gone, or will go, to Jersey, and they beg
that your Lordship will be good enough to have such
steps taken as may bo in your power to discover
Frederick George Manning, and, if any information be
obtained, that au immediate communication may be made
to the Commissioners.

" I have the honour to be, my Lord, your most obe
dient servant, " RICHARD MAYNE.
" Viscount Beresford, &c."

This letter being addressed to the Governor officially,
was opened by the Lieutenant-Governor, Sir James
Reynett, who immediately conferred with Sir Thomas
Le Breton, Chief Justice of the island, on the subject,
and he, after consulting with Mr. Dupr 6, the Attorney-
General, Mr. Hammond, the Solicitor-General, and
Mr. Le Sueur, the chief constable, placed the
letters in the hands of Mr. Chevalier, the chief
centenier of the police, requesting that he would
adopt the best measures to discover whether the
suspected murderer really was upon the island, and if so
to prevent his escape. Mr. Chevalier, on receipt of the
letters from Mr. Evans, private secretary to Sir Thomas
Le Breton, at once informed that gentleman that he had
already received an intimation of the same kind from
Sergeant Thornton, of the metropolitan police, dated
Southampton, whither that officer had been dispatched to
look for Manning. Mr. Chevalier at once took such
steps as seemed to him best calculated to arrest the mur-
derer if in Jersey. On the following day he ascertained
that two persons had engaged a small steam-boat to take
them across to St. Malo's, one of whom bore a strong
re semblance to the advertised description of Manning.
Mr. Chevalier watched the parties down to the pier, and
after questioning them, not feeling quite satisfied with a
statement thty made, to the effect that they were about
to proceed to St. Malu's to attend the funeral of a rela-
tive who had died of cholera, he requested them to
accompany him to the Mayor or chief constable, M.
Le Sueur. One of the gentlemen observing a placard
in the hands of Mr. Chevalier, offering a reward for
the apprehension of the murderers of Mr. O'Connor,
asked if he was mistaken for Manning ? Mr. Che-
valier said it really was so, and he must request
them to accompany him to the Mayor. Although not
at all pleased at the detention, the two gentlemen did
return into the town and went before the Mayor, who,
after hearing their explanation, advised Mr. Chevalier to
allow them to depart. The same evening Mr. Chevalier
received information that Manning had been seen in St.
Helier's by a man named Trenchard, who had known
him formerly at Taunton; and about eight o'clock he
was further assured of his presence on the island by as-
certaining that the gentleman who had met him on the
Sunday previous had again seen him walking in the
streets of St. Helier's.
On Saturday morning Inspector Langley and Sergeant
Lockyer, two officers of the detective police, to the former
of whom Manning's person was well known, arrived in
Jersey by the Despatch mail steam-packet. Langley
had so closely tracked Manning on his way d3wu, that
he felt perfectly assured if he had not escaped to the
continent he must still be in Jersey. The captain and
steward of the Despatch, from the description given of
his person, felt satisfied that they had brought him over
among their passengers on Wednesday, the lfith ult.;
and their description of the man fully satisfied Langley
that he was on the right scent. On landing in the
island, he proceeded at once to the police• station,
where he had an interview with Mr. Chevalier, and
ascertained all that he had done. Through the in-
formation of Trenchard, in the course of Saturday
it was discovered ;that Manning had dined on Wed-
nesday at the Old Robin Hood Tavern, in St.
Helier's. Mr. Burnham, the landlord of this tavern,
on being applied to, gave such information as led
to the discovery that Manning bad been lodging during
the week previous at the Navy Arms, which, by the
way, it may be mentioned is intreedicttely opposite Mr.

Chevalier's office. On proceeding thither the officers
learned that he had left early on Thursday morning, as
previously stated, and that he had promised to send for
his trunk and some o:her things on the Saturday. It was
at once determined to examine his trunk, and for that
purposs:thepandlord conducted Langley and Lockyer to
the bedroom he had occupied. Among the articles left
was a dark-gresn paletot, and the moment Langley
caught sight of this coat he exclaimed—" That's M In-
ning's coat, we are on the ri,;ht se, nt." As it was ex
pected that he would return or send for his things on
Saturday evening, the house was closely watched until
after midnight, but no person came to make any iLquiry.
At an early hour on Sunday morning Mr. Chevalier
proceeded with Langley and Lockyer to St. Lawrence,
and called upon Mr. Ford, who related to them all the
circumstances within his knowledge as to his interview
with Manning. The British Lion, where Mr. Ford
lodges, is, as before stated, only about 300 yards beyond
the house where Manning was at this time lodging.
The officers therefore passed the place where he was
lying concealed twice on Sunday morning. So completely,
however, had he shut himself up at this time that neither
Mr. Ford nor any other person had any suspicion of his
being upon the island. Mr. Chevalier now came to the
conclusion that ho must have escaped across the Channel
from the northern coast of the island, and after confer.
ring with Langley and Lockyer, he determined on ape
plying to the Lieutenant-Governor for the loan of a
small steam-boat belonging to the Harbour Commis
sioners, for the purpose of proceeding to Granville, and
giving such information as might lead to the murderer's
detection, if he had taken that route. The permission
sought was instantly granted, and Mr. Evans, by direc-
tion of Sir Thomas Le Breton, addressed a letter on the
subject to Mr. Turnbull, British Consul at Granville,
hisreq requesting. thTathhe
e would
officers on board,
left Jersey at nine o'clock on Sunday morning, and
reached Granville before noon. But no traces of the
tehe officers all the aid in
assassin were discavered there, and after taking all ne-
steamer, aff
° width °
cessary precautions to secure his apprehension if he ar-
rived on thai part of the French coast, the steamer
returned to Jersey. What Mr. Turnbull did will be
gathered from the following reply to Mr. Evans' com-
munication, which Mr. Chevalier brought with him from
Granville:—

" Granville, Aug. 25.
" Dear Sir,—l received your note, by Mr. Chevalier,
respecting the arrest of Manning; I have taken every
means at Granville for his detention, and have written
to the Vice-Consuls at Cherburg and St. Malo; and the
authorities of Reyneville, and Portbail, and Avrauches,
will also be immediately requested to arrest him. Should
he be arrested on this
_coasS I will immediately advise
you.—l remain, dear Sir, yours very truly.
" JOHN TURNBULL.
" Sir T. Le Breton."

On the Monday morning Mr. Chevalier, accompanied
by Langley and Lockyer, proceeded to various points
round the island from which it was supposed likely he
might have crossed the Channel. All the public-houses
al ,ng the main road as far as St. Brelade's bay were
visited, and every inquiry was made to discover the fu-
gitive, both in the interior and along the coast; but as
unfortunately no traces could be discovered of him, the
impression that he had either gone to France or de-
stroyed himself began to obtain.
In order to preserve the connexion of the narrative,
we must now return to the cottage of M. and Madame
Berteau, where Manning was all this time quietly
secreted. He arrived at M. Berteau's house about eight
o'clock on Thursday morning, and was shown into his
room by Madame Berteau, who told him that it he had
any friends call upon him he might receive them in her
own parlour downstairs. Ile thanked her for her
civility, but said that he should not have any one call
upon him, as no one knew him in Jersey. He had not
been long in the house before he sent out for a bottle of
brandy, of which he drank frequently during the day.
He remained in doors all day; took his meals with Mrs.
\Veildon, and conversed with her on various subjects.
In the evening he went out into the garden at the
back of the cottage, putting on, for the first time, a
blue Guernsey frock and a green felt hat, and re•
mained there some time talking to M. Berteau, who
was pursuing his ordinary avocations. He drank the
whole bottle of brandy on Thursday, and early on
Friday morning sent for a second, which he con-
sumed in the course of that day. The same course of
living was pursued by hire on Saturday and Sunday,
without any suspicion on the part of M. Berteau as to
whom he was harbouring. On Sunday a friend of
Madame Berteau came in to see her, and having heard
something of the habits of the lodger, she remarked that
his conduct appeared to be very strange, adding that she
hoped he was not the perpetrator of a dreadful murder
which had happened in England. Madame Berteau
had heard nothing of the murder, and thought little of
her friend's caution, and so the matter dropped for this
day. Fortunately, however, Madame Berteau's friend
was not the only person whose suspicions were excited
by the murder, r. The brandy consumed by Manning
was; procured from the house of Mr. Heulin, a respect-
able inhabitant of Jersey, who lives in a small house in
St. Peter's Valley. Mr. George Lieulin, one of the sons,
was in the habit of serving the girl who fetched the
brandy, and he also thought it remarkable that so much
of the liquor should be consumed at M. Berteau's, who
he knew was a very temperate man himself. He asked
the girl certain questions, and ascertained from her that
the person who drank the liquor was a lodger, who con-
fined himself to the house all day, and drank brandy,
as he said, to keep the cholera away. Mr. Heulin
having heard in St. llelier's that the murderer of
Patrick O'Connor was supposed to be concealed in
Jersey, at once suspected this to be the man, and deter-
mined to satisfy himself, if possible. With this view
he watched daily for his appearance in the garden,
where the girl had told hint he generally went in the
evening for a short time. He saw him on Sunday even-
ing, and again on Monday night, and was the more
assured that it was the man in questiop, in consequence
of his evident desire to escape observation by palling
his felt hat over his face as he walked up and down the
garden. It should be stated that the garden in question
is an open piece of ground, and can be overlooked from
the high road as well as from many other points of view.
On Monday evening Mr. Heulin made so distinct an ob-
servation of Manning, while the latter was digging in
the garden, that he felt no doubt of the identity of the
man. About an hour after, and just as it was becoming
dusk, Mr. Heulin went to the back entrance of M. Ber.
teen's house, determined to ask him who and what his
lodger was, and what name he passed under? Mr.
lieulin found Manning sitting with M. Berteau outside
the backdoor in a little..yard, smoking his pipe. On
seeing Mr. Heulin, M. Berteau advanced a few paces
towards him. Manning rose at the same time, and
retreated into the house. Mr Heulin put such
questions as he thought necessary to M. Berteau, and
communicated his suspicions to him. M. Berteau, who
is in very weak health, was somewhat alarmed, but he
was also unwilling to believe that his lodger was the
suspected party. He said the man appeared a very nice
gentleman, and had given tho name of Jennings. That
he certainly did not go out much, but this might be ac-
counted for by the fact of his being unwell and afraid of
the cholera, and no doubt when better he would go out
as usual. Mr. Heulin was not satisfied, and at once pro-
ceeded to St. Helier's in order to communicate with his
brother Mr. John Heulin on the subject. When the
latter heard his brother's suspicions, he felt perfectly sa•
tisfied M. Bateau's lodger was no other than George
Frederick Manning, and at once proceeded in quest of
Langley, whom he met within a few paces of the Bath
Hotel, where his brother had detailed the circumstances
to him. Mr. Langley felt so satisfied of the correct-
ness of Mr. Heuliu's suspicions, that he directly took
that gentleman to Mr. Chevalier, and urged the pro-
priety of going over to St. Laurence directly, and ar-
resting the man. It being now past nine o'clock, Mr.
Chevalier suggested that the man would, in all proba-
bility, be gone to bed, and that, perhaps, it might be as
well to deter his arrest until the morning. Mr. Langley
at once objected, remarking, that delays were danger-
ous, and that as they were now so near their mark, they
had better hit upon it. Mr. Chevalier at once con-
sented, and Mr. Purkis, whose name has been men-
tioned before us having offered the use of his carriage,
Mr. Chevalier, Mr. Langley, Mr. Lockyer, the two
Messrs. Heulin, and Mr. Purkis, at once left St. Helier's
for M. Berteau's cottage, to which our narrative must
again recur for a few moments. While Mr. George
Heulin and M. Berteau were conversing together, Man-
sting, who had merely retired from their imme-
diate observation, remained in the back kitchen, the
door of which being open, he overheard all that passed.
The moment M. Heulin had gone, Manning went up to
Mr. Berteau in the back kitchen and asked him who the
man was he was talking to, what he came for, and why
he wonted to know his name? Mr. Berteau stated to
the reporter that while asking these questions the assas-
sin trembled from head to foot and appeared scarcely
able to articulate. Mr. Berteau adds, the thought in-
stantly occurred to him that he was harbouring a mur-
derer, and as soon as he had satisfied Manning that the
person who asked him the questions was a neighbour,
and that his motives were only those arising from
curiosity, he exclaimed to his wife, in French, " That's a
murderer." Mr. Berteau confesses that he was now very
much alarmed; and in order to prevent, as far as pos-
sible, the man from destroying himself or committing
any other crime, he put away a hatchet and some pieces
of rope which were lying about the house.
Manning, it appears, retired to bed as soon as Mr.
Heulin had gone, and at about half-past nine o'clock
the officers arrived. They alighted from their carriage
about 200 yards on the St. Helier's side of Mr. Berteau'.
cottage, and walked thither on foot. By a previously
concerted arrangement Mr. Chevalier and Mr. George
Heulin went round to the back of the house and explained
to Mr. Berteau that they were now come to arrest his
lodger on a charge of murder, an announcement which
appeared to give both the old man and his wife very
considerable satisfaction. It was agreed that Mr. Che-
valier should return to the front of the house and knock
et the door, which Mr. Berteau promised tho open,ca and
andle,
that he should hand to Mr. Chevalier
with which he undertook to prere_oduunadP irtes to Man

ed that the Messrs. Heulin
should remain outside the cottage and prevent the escape

the windows, of which there were-

followed Mr. Chevalier, and close behind them was Lang-
ley, wko could alone identify the murderer, with another

lighted candle. Contrary to expectation the door of the
murderer's room was found ajar, so that on reaching the
landing the officers entered immediately. Mr. Chevalier
pushed the door open hastily, and placing the candle he
held in his hand on the table he rushed towards the bed
in which the man laid. At the same instant Langley,
who had m, rely caught a side glance of his face, cried
out, "That's the man—seize him!" Lockyer, and Mr.
Purkis instantly seizsd both the murderer s arms, Mr.
-;lievalier having thrown himself upon the bed. and thus
disabled him ffoin making any resistance. The s,
me-
what rough seizare to which ho was sii4jecteil appeared
to give l‘lanning some annoyance, and he cried out,
" Hallo, what are you about? Do you mean to murder
me?" The moment he saw Langley, however, he reco-
vered his composure, and said, " Ah, Sergeant, is that
you? lam glad you are come. I know what you are
come about. IF you had not come I was coming to town
to explain all. I am innocent!" Ho then asked, "Is the
wretch taken?" alluding to his wife, as Langley
supposed. The officer replied in the affirm:vise,
upon which.
Manning remarked, " Thank God, I
am glad of it; that will save my life. She is
the guilty party; I am as innocent as a lamb."
Mr. Chevalier directed him to dress himself in the
presence of the officers, and when he had done so he
proceeded to handcuff him. *Manning, as soon as he
saw the irons, said, "I hope you are not going to
handcuff me." Mr. Chevalier explained the necessity of
doing so, upon which he held out his hands, which
were immediately pinioned by Lockyer. Manning con-
fessed that all the property in the room belonged to him
and seven sovereigns having been found in his carpet bag
he said they were all that was left of a sum of 12!. which
had been paid to him for his furniture by a man in Lon-
don, "and that," he added," was all the money I had to
start, with." Having, been conducted out of Mr. Ber-
teau s house he was placed in the carriage which had
brought over the officers, and conveyed them back to St.
Helier's. On his way, although no questions were asked
him, he volunteered several observations in reference to
the crime with which he stand charged. Among other
remarks, in allusion to his wife he said, "he hoped she
would not destroy herself before he got to London, for
when there he could soon clear himself." Again he
said, " I suppose she must have 1,5001. upon her; at
least she ought to have. She has often told me that she
would be revenged upon O'Connor?' Mr. Chevalier
here asked what she meant by being revenged? Upon
which Manning rejoined, " Why, he induced us to
take the house in Minver-place, and to furnish it, on the
understanding that ho vk ould come and live with us,
which he did not do ; and my wife got in a great rage,
and said she would be revenged." I said. " Dun, t be
angry, dear, and advised her to forget and forgive."
O'Conner got off his agreement by paying a few weeks'
rent. A little before this time, my wife went to his
house, and he showed her notes and railway coupons,
and promised that he would leave her the greater part
of his property under
.his will." After a pause, he
added, " She frequently went to his house ; and about a
fortnight before the murder she invited him to come and
dine with us, but he did nut come. She wrote him
another letter, asking him to dine with us on the fatal
day. The dinner was laid up stairs when he arrived.
My wife asked him if he would not go down stairs
and wash his hands, as was his custom before dinner.
He replied, " Yes," and immediately went down stairs,
followed closely by my wife. As soon as they had
reached the bottom of the staircase my wife put one of
her arms round O'Conner's neck, and with the other
hand she fired a pistol at the back part of his head.
O'Connor immediately fell dead. I fainted, and do not
know what became of the body. Mr. Chevalier asked
the assassin if he had not seen a hole dug in his back
kitchen ? Upon which he said, "Oh ! yes. I had seen
it and I believed that it was intended for me. I believe
my wife intended to murder me."
After arriving at the gaol the prisoner complained of
indisposition, and the medical officer having been sent
for, recommended that be should be allowed to have
some brandy and water, after which he speedily re-
covered himself, and retired to bed in good spirits.
One remarkable fact in connexion with his apprehen-
sion on Monday night should be mentioned. It appears
that during that day he had asked Mrs. Weildon, the
woman with Whom he boarded in M. Berteau's house,
whether that old gentleman had much money. Mrs.
Weildon, it is supposed, did not satisfy him, and in the
evening he visited an old man named Trachy, who lives
in the next cottage, and whose back premises commu-
nicate with those of M. Berteau, and asked him the same
question, adding a remark to the effect that as the old
couple had no children, probably they might have some
money by them. Trachy thought the question strange,
but took no notice of it. When the officers entered his
room an open razor was lying upon the table, and the
door of his apartment, for the first time since he had slept
in the house, was ajar, and not lacked as it had previously
been. Coupling these facts, is it too much to suggest
that probably the assassin contemplated a second cold-
blooded murder on that very night, in the hope of obtain-
ing more funds to enable him to pursue his flight from
justice? Such is the opinion very generally entertained
at St. Helier's.

There being no warrant in Jersey against Manning,
the Chief Justice and the other authorities were plact d
in a very awkward predicament. Legally they bad no
power to give up their prisoner to the London officers;
nor, we believe, would they have done so, but for the
unfortunate ow break of cholera in the gaol on Wednes-
day last. Ong fatal case occurred on the evening of that
day, and three other prisouers were carried off to the
hospital on Thursday morning. The very awkward
consequences of anything serious happening to Manning
while in gaol at St. Helier's were felt by the Governor
and the Chief Justice, and after long consideration it
was determined to send the prisoner to town in charge
of the detective officers, without a warrant.

Persons were not allowed to see the prisoner in the
gaol, but there were some few exceptions, of course, to
this rule, but when a party was admitted the accused
appeared greatly pleased to exhibit himself, walking up
and down an enclosed corridor with his hands behind
him and seeming to be perfectly at ease with himself.
Sir Thomas Le Breton visited him on Thursday, and
when the prisoner recognised the worthy knight, he
said, " Sir Thomas, how long am I to be detained here?
I wish you would let me be sent on to London. When
I get there I shall be able to make it all right in a few
hours." Sir Thomas said that matters were not quite
arranged for his removal, but that no time would be lost,
which appeared to satisfy him. In the course of Friday,
a gentleman named Evans obtained an order to go into
the gaol, and being curious to observe the prisoner's
person, be approached the corridor very closely. Man-
ning observed him do so, and, instead of retiring, he
came up close to the iron railing, and, in a sort of whis-
per, said to Mr. Evans, " Come closer, I want to speak
to you." Mr. Evans, upon this, went up to the corridor,
upon which Manning remarked to him, " This is an
awkward place to be in, is it not?" Mr. Evans said, in-
deed it was. Manning replied,'' Ab, I shall be all right
when I get to London—l shall be all right in a work."
He then said, " Have you seen to•day's news-
paper?" Mr. Evans said he had not. Manning said,
" Well, look at it to-morrow, you'll see all about it."
He then asked, " Has my wife comfessed?" Mr. Evans
replied that he did not know. Manning then said, "It
was a bad spec of mine leaving London, was
it not? If I had not left London, I should have
been all right.,' After some other strange observations
to the eft, ct that he was getting " peckish " and should
be glad of his dinner, he mentioned to Mr. Evans that
the turnkey was approaching, and walked away. Dur-
ing Friday morning two prisoners were seized with
cholera in the gaol, and in order to convey the to the
hospital it was necessary to pass through the corridor oc-
cupied by the prisoner. Manning appeared much inte-
rested at this incident, volunteered to assist, and did
direct the persons employed how to place the patients in
stretchers.
We have omitted to state that ono ground of suspicion
against Manning arose from his anxiety to see the news-
papers. During the whole of his stay in St. Helier's he
was always observed to be most anxious to see a copy
of the Times or any other London newspaper; and on
the Tuesday after his removal to St. Lawrence he sent
out the girl two or three times to obtain a newspaper
(local or London), and offered to give a shilling for the
sight of one. The girl went to Mr. Heulin's to see if
she could get one; hence the suspicions his son had pre-
viously entertaind were considerably strengthened.
At seven o'clock yesterday morning Mr. Chevalier and
the detective officers proceeded to the gaol for the pur-
pose of conveying the prisoner to the packet. He made
a particular request that he might be allowed to walk
through the streets of St. Helier's, and, as it was very
early in the morning, Mr. Chevalier consented to allow
him to do so, Langley and Lockyer walking on either
side cf the accused, and Mr. Chevalier immediately be-
hind him. He asked as a particular favour to be allowed
a cigar. This request was also complied with; and it is
a fact that the suspected murderer of Patrick O'Connor
actually walked a distance of nearly half a mile from the
gaol to the pier through the streets of St. Helier's smok-
ing a cigar, with all the ease imaginable, and exhibiting
the insolent bearing for which he is so remarkable.
Manning was highly delighted at the notice ho excited
e
on shipboard, and with one woman he conversed afc:r_s to
hat
time, remarking that he had " had two wives, d
was one too many."

The special train arrived at the Vauxhall station at

having announced the prisoner's exp(cted arrival, a
crowd might be assembled at the Whterloo station, the
prisoner was removed from the carriage at this place,
and conveyed by Inspector Haynes and Sergeant Lang-

against him having been entered by Lisp, ctor Yates, he
was placed in one of the cells, closely watched by two
officers,
It is understood that he will be brought up for exa-
mination before Mr. Seeker this day.
Of the prisoner's personal appearance, let us add one
word, He is a bull-headed, thick- necked man, with a
half effeminate expression, arising from a very fair cora-
