The sack .was left at the hospital all night. The
following morning, Bishop, May, Williams, and Shields
came for The body, and I delivered it to them. The night be-
fore May and Bishop directed me not to let it go, unless they
were both present. They took it away in a hamper, which they
brought with them. Shield had rorter's knot.
Mr. J. Appleton, curator of Grainger's anatomical Theatre,
exaMi.;:ed—l know the three prisoners. On Fridas',. Nor. 4, about
half-past seven O'Cl'e•ck, Bishop and May came and said they had
a subject for sale. I aska.! what it was; they said it was a
fresh subject. I asked whether it male or female; they
replied a boy about fourteen years of age; I declined to pur-
chase it. The next morning they called to make the same
offer, but I again declined it. They had not the body with
them;

November, about ten o'clock, May called and offered a set of
teeth for sale ; they were twelve human teeth, six for each jaw.

I obsCrved that one of the front teeth was chipped. He oil red,
as that f&se:s•ed their value, the set for a guinea. He said, " upon
my soul to God, they alt belonged to one head not long since, and
that the body had never been buried." That was said upon my
doubting their being of one set. I gave nird P.N. for the set.—
On examining them afterwards, I found some part of the flesh
was so firmly attached to them, that I imagined they had
been violently taken from the head. The teeth must have
belonged to a female or a young subject. May admitted that
they belonged to a boy of between 14 and 15 years of age.
Those are the teeth produced which I delivered to Mr.
Thomas.
Augustus Brunn examined through the riletlitim of an in-
terpreter—l knew a boy named Carlo Ferrier, and brought him
from Italy two years ago ; he was about 14 years old, and lived
with me about six weeks after he came here. The :2•Sth of July,
k 69, was the last time I saw the boy alive. He then lived at Mr,
Elliott's, No. :2, Charles,?lreet, Drury-lane. On the 19th cf
November I saw the body of the boy in St. Paul's burial ground,
Covent-garden, and I believe it to be the body of that boy ; the
size and the hair were similar, but the face was disfigured.

Cross-examined—lf I had known nothing about this occur-
rence, and had seen the body, I should be of opinion he was
" my own,"

By Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—He was in his Lith year.
I have not seen him for fifteen months. He might have grown
a little in that time, but not much,

By Mr. CUR WOOD—At first sight, if any body had asked
me who the body was, the fare was so disfigured I could not tell.
Joseph Peragure sworn.—l get a living by playing an organ
and pipes in the street. I knew Carlo Ferreir, and used to see
him every day in Charles-street. Drury-lane. His sister lived
in Scotland. and died there. He came to London on the 22d
of May, 18:30, and I have known him all that time; I last saw
him alive in the Quadrant, Regent-street, at two o'clock on
a Saturday, four weeks before I saw his body at the station-
house. When I saw him in the Quadrant he had a little cage
round his neck, with two white mice in it. He was in the ha-
bit of wearing a cap, but I cannot say whether it was of cloth,
leather, or skin. The leather shade of the capproduced was
of foreign manufacture.

THE TRIAL CONTINUED.

Mary Paraguri wife of the preceding witness, stated, that on
Tuesday, November I, she saw the deceased in Oxford-street,
near Hanover-square. He had a cage like a squirrel cage, and
two white mice in it. She did not speak to him. He wore a
cap, but she could not tell what sort f oneo it was. She had seen
the body of that boy at the station-house in Covcnt.garden.
Andrew Colla, of No. 4, Gre it Saffron-hill, bird-cage maker-
-1 knew the deceased boy, by seeing him in thestreets, and saw him
lately in Oxford-street. I have seen the body at the station
house, and believe it to be the body of the boy I have seen in
the streets. When I saw him in Oxford,streef, he had white
mice in a cage, and a tortoise. The cap produced was similar to
that which he wore. He also wore a blue coat and grey trousers,
with a large patch on the left knee of the latter.
(The trousers, which had been dug up in Bishop's garden, were
here produced.)
The witness examined them, and stated he believed them to
be the same as those the deceased had worn, and he poinied out
the patch in the knee of them.
John King. a boy, sworn—l shall be ten years old next Christ-
mas. Igo to chapel, and know the consequences of telling a lie.
I live at No. 3, Crab-tree-road, facing the Bird Cage public-
house, and near Nova Scotia Gardens. I remember one day
when my mother washed, seeing a boy near Nova Scotia Gar-
dens. I believe it was the Thursday before Guy Faux.day. I
was looking out of the window, and the boy had something, but
my mother would not let me go to see what it was. I behave
it was a little cage that he had, and it was slung from his neck
by a string. He was standing still. He had a brown cap, with
the leaf or shade lined with green, exactly like this cap (the one
produced). I was looking at him for a few minutes.
Cross-examined—lt was the first floor window from which I
saw him, yet I could see the lining of his cap shade.
Martha King, the sister to the last witness, aged eleven years,
sworn—On the Wednesday or Thursday before Guy Fawkes Day
she saw the Italian boy, as described by her brother. He was not
one minute's walk from Bishop's house, and she had never seen
him since.

John Randall, a labourer, sworn.—l live near Nova Scotia
Gardens. On Thursday morning, Nov. 3, I saw an Italian boy,
about nine or ten o'clock, near Nova Scotia Gardens. Ile was
standing under the window of the Bird Cage public-house, and
had a box or cage, with two white mice. He had on a blue
coarse jacket, a brown fur cap, but I did not notice his trowsers.
The cap and jacket were similar to those produced.
Sarah Trucby, wife of John Trucby, sworn.—My husband is
landlord of Nos. I, '2, and 3, Nova Scotia-Gardens, and I have
been in the habit of letting the houses, and receiving the rents.
I let No. 3to Bishop's wife In June, 1830. Bishop and his wile
resided there until kie was taken into custody. I have often seen
Bishop there. I let the house No. 2 last July to the prisoner
Williams, who then went by the name of Head. Williams oc-
cupied it six or seven weeks, and it was afterwards occupied by a
person named Woodcock. It was a few weeks empty. There
are gardens behind the houses, and lose fences between, but
there is a communication from No. I and No. 2 to No 3.
because there was a well for the use of the whole in Bishop's
House. There is a privy at the bottom of Bishop's garden. I
hare ssen Williams several times at No. 3, after he lett No. 2.
I have also seen Williams's wife there. . _

William Woodcock, a boy, stated that he lived with his fa-
ther, at Igo. 2, Nova Scotia-gardens, next door to Bishop's house;
he knew Williams, and had seen him there ten times, and hati
also seen Williams's wife washing in Bishop's house—sawW
liam s there two or three days before Guy Fawkes' day, walking
in the garden smoking a pipo. . .

. .
Abraham Keymer, landlord of the Feathers, Castle-street,
Bethnal-green, sworn.—On the night of Thursday, the 3d of
November, Bishop, and he believed Williams also, came to
soy house. It was near twelve o'clock. My house is about 200
yards from Nova Scotia-gardens. They had a quartern of ruin
and half a galloiti of beer, and I lent them a can to carry it. The
con produced was that which he lent them.
Wm. Woodcock sworn.--I went to reside at No. 2, Nova
Scotia-gardens on the 17th October, next door to Bishop. Wil-
liams, 1 have reason to believe, also lived with Bishop. I lived
in No. 2, until after the prisoners were apprehended. I know
Williams, but did not know Bishop until I saw him at Bow-
street.
The first Sunday I lived there I was digging in my
garden, when Williams told him to dig in a certain spot,
where he would find some lillies. On Thursday, the
3d of November. I went to bed about half-past nine
o'clock. In the course of the night, probably about four
hours and a-half after I had gone to bed—l was awakened
by hearing footsteps, which I thought were at the back of my
premises, but I distinctly heard three men's footsteps in the
parlour of No. 3 (Bishop's house.) I remained in bed and heard
a scuffle, which lasted for one or two minutes, at the furthest,
and then all was silent. The scuffling was in the same room in
which I heard the footsteps. Afterwards I heard Bishop's side
&ioor open, and also heard the footsteps of two men. There is a
side door to Bishop's house. The persons after leaving
Bishop's house, I heard come round to the front, and pass
by my house. After they were gone, I heard the footstep ot
one person in the house. When those two persons returned to
the house, I distinctly heard the voices of three persons, one ot
which I knew to be that of Williams, After that all became
still again, and I went to lest.
Cross-examined—l believe the wall between the two houses
are but four inches thick. The struggle that I heard I considered
at the tune to be a family quarrel.
By Mr. Justice LUTLEDALE—Not more than a minute
and a half elapsed from the time of the two men leaving unti
their return.

Hannah Woodcock, wife of the last witness, sworn—She stated
that Bishop, his wife, and family, and Williams and his wife, oc-
cupied No. 3, Nova Scotia Gardens.
Joseph Higgins, a New Police constable, sworn—On the I!Ith
of November, in consequence of some instructions, I went to
No. 3, Nova Scotia-gardens; and on searching it, I found two
crooked chesils, a brad-awl and a file. There appeared to be
blood on the brad.awl, which at that time looked fresh. I
searched May's premises, No. 4, Dorset-street, New Kent-road,
on the 11th, and found a pair of breeches, which had marks of
blood on the back part, which appeared to be fresh. There was
also a waistcoat with marks of clay on it. On the 19th, I went
again to Bishop's house with James Wadey.
air. Mills, the dentist, was recalled, and examined by Chief
Justice TINDAL—The teeth had been forced out; I should
think the brad-awl now produced would afford great facility in
forcing out the teeth. . _

The-evidence of Higgins was then continued.—When we went
to Bishop's house on the 19th we searched the garden behind the.
house ; we first attempted it wag an iron red, but finding some-
thing impeding it, I desired Wadey to dig, and a jacket, tiew-
sers, and small shirt, were found ; that was about five yards from
the back door. In another part we dug up a blue coat, a pair of
trowsers with the braces attached to them, a striped waistcoat,
which appeared to be a man's, and taken in for a boy, with marks
of blood on the collar and shoulder, and a shirt that was torn up
the front.—(The witness here produced all those things.)—
they were buried, about twelve years of age. The clothes are
those which would be useful to boys like the deceased. There
were ashes over the place where the clothes had been buried.
James Wadey, also a constable, corroborated the last wit
ness's testimony.
. .

Edward Ward, a little boy, six and a half years' old, was next
examined—My lather lives in Nova Scotia Gardens. I remember
last Guy Fawkes Day, at which time I was in the habit of going
to school. I remember my mother giving me a half holiday, but
I don't know On what day it was. I went to Bishop's house
Bishop has three children, two of them boys. On that day I saw
the children in the house, and they showed me a cage with two

that he got the body irons a grave; but the reason of not telling
where the grave was, was on accoutt of two watchmen who
knew of it, and had large tamilis.) May was also produced,
