Richard Welsh, a labourer, residing in Vine-yard,
Vine-place, Tooley• street, deposed, theta person came
on the 23d of July to Mr. Wells's yard, in Russell-
street, and asked for sixpenny worth of lime, and the man
asked Miss Msry Wells for it in presence of witness.
Did not know the man before he came f r the lime. The
man wrote his direction in the office of Mr. Wells. Wit•
ties cannot read. The man said. Here is a lad who
will take it up to my house." That was addressed to
Miss Mary. The man asktd for stone lime, and said
he wanted it for a garden. On the 2.5:11 of July witness
took a bushel of lime (sixpenny worth) to 3, Minver-
place, by Miss Mary's direction. Saw the man whom
be had seen on the 23 1 of July. Passed through the
house down to the back kitchen, and shot the lime into
a basket. The lime wes unslaked. Thinks he should
know the man again. Got threehalfpence from the man,
who hid promised to give that on taking the lime to the
house. The sixpence for the lime was paid when the
lime was ordered. The man was fair and very tall.
Manning wrote the address on a piece of paper,. which
witness lost. Manning said, he was to take the lime to
3, Minver-place, but repeated no name. Witness did
not take the lime the day it was ordered, being busy.
Put the lime down on the left-hand side of the. back
kitchen, near the cupboard, in a square basket with a
cover to it.

William Mill, shopman to Mr. George Longlee, 46,
Teoley-street—On last Wednesday fortnight a lady
came into the shop, about three o'clock, and asked for a
coal .shovel. Showed her some shorthandled dust
shovels, which are used for coals. She wished for a
strong one. Asked her if she would like to have a
regular or= longhandled shovel. Believed he put the

nising her. She had a black dress on, with
three or four flounces, rather a common-looking dress.
She hsd a black drawn bonnet. She paid for the shovel.
Asked for a name. She gave the name of Manning.
She had a slight foreign accent. Witness took the
shovel and gave it into her hand the same evening about
seven o'clock at 3, Minver-place. It had the private
mark of the shop, and a selling mark under it. It was
scratched with a bradawl. Has since that time seen
the shovel (which was produced, and identified by the
witness).

past six o'clock, and the jury had been engaged since
eleven in hearing evidence, it might be expedient to ad-
journ at that time.

past ten o'clock he wai to meet Mr. M.aey, the super •
intendent of police, Edinburgh, for the purpose of seeing
whether the friends of the deceased could identify any
of the property as Mr. O'Connor's which had been found
on Mrs. Manning.

ceedings should be adjourned to Monday next, at ten
o'clock. _

six o'clock, to Monday, at ten o'clock.
