Mr. WHITE inquired whether the meins taken had been
effectual in discovering how the priwner gained admisstoo
to the Palace.
Cox, the night porter at the equerry's entrance, observed
that he had made the strictest inquiries. No pains 135 a
beeen spared to ascertain that most important point, but,
without success. His door was locked, and witness had
the key in his pocket, therefore it would have been 101-
po,sible for the prisoner to have made his escape that waY,
although, when he looked into the room, he ev.dently roc'
ditated it.

Mr. Steed, an inspector of the A division, said there was
sufficient space under the entrance gates of the marble
archway fn. a boy of the prisoner's size to have passed
under. He observed that there was a quantity of fresh
loam or gravel thrown down at that spot, and the prisoner's
shoes when examined had some of the same kind of gravel
sticking to them.
Mr. Thomas Griffiths, of Coventry-street, Havmarket,
builder, said he knew the prisoner, who came into his ser-
vice as errand boy in August last, and left him on Tuesday
week, without giving any notice. He was much alarmed
on missing him, and made every inquiry, but was unable to
discover where he had gone to until lie saw in the papers an
account of a boy answering his description having been
found in the Palace. He then went to Tothill-fields
Bridewell. and identified the prisoner. His name was n(4
Edward Cotton, but Edward Jones. His age was sixteen.
Prisoner had often told witness that he would go to the
Palace to see the grand staircase.
Mr. WHITE inquired what the prisoner had to say
Prisoner—l wished to see the Palace. It wAs curiosity
took me there, and I went in at the entrance of the left
wing, the one called the tradesmen's entrance. I went in
behind a man dressed in fustian, about six o'clock on Tues-
day evening, and ranged over the Palace without molests"
tion, until I was taken into custody.
Mr. WHITE—Why did you meddle with those articles?
Prisoner—l don't know anything about them.
Mr. WHITE—Nor the money that was found in Sour
pocket ? Prisoner—That I picked up with the other things
on the lawn.
Mr. WHITE—I am going to send you for trial. Prisoner
(composedly)—Well.
The whole of the parties were then bound over to prose'
cute the prisoner for the felony at the next Westrninste
Sessions.
The prisoner heard the whole of the proceedings with
the greatest sang froid.
The prisoner is the son of a poor tailor, who has a fern);
of seven children. We understand that there is no previous
imputation against the boy's character .

THE SPY IN THE QUEEN'S HOUSE.

Edward Jones, otherwise Edward Cotton, was yesterdaY
placed at the bar of Queen-square Police-office for re-ev
amination, charged with having been found in Buckingham
Palace, and stealing therein a sword and divers other
articles, the property of the Hon. Charles Augustus
Murray, Master of her Majesty's Household.
The boy's appearance when placed in the dock was very
different from that exhibited by him on the former occasion.
The whole of the soot and grease with which he bad,
daubed himself had been washed off, showing an open and
intelligent countenance.
Fr:deric Blume, a German, valet to the Honourable
Charles Augustus Murray, having been sworn, was asked
several questions, to which he gave such vague replies as to
go for nothing against the lad.
W. Badcock, 5S A, said that on Friday morning, about
eight o'clock, he was called from the tradesmen's to the
equerry's entrance by a constable of the B division. He
found the property which had been contained in the port-
manteau, together with the sword, lying close to the door
of the gentleman porter's hall. After the prisoner's ar
prehension he searched him, and found on him a small pad-
lock, with a piece of tin attached, which lock he bad com-
pared with the tin case, and it corresponded. He also
found four foreign coins of the same description as those
taken out of the valet's drawer.
