BERMONDSEY MURDER.

souraWARK POLICE COURT.-(TIIIS DAY.)

RE EXAMINATION OF MANNING AND

I lIS WIFE.

It was generally understood that the Mannings
would not be brought up until to-morrow, to day
being appointed for the inhabitants in the diocese of
Winchester to humiliate themselves before Gud in
constquence of the contin❑acce of the present
fearful epidemic. No alteration, however, had
actually been made in the day originally fixed
for the re-examination of the prisoners, but no
doubt the impression that a postponement would take
place had considerable influence in diminishing the
number of spectators who presented themselves fur
admission to the court. Before three o'clock, how-
ever, the court was well filled with spectators, who
appeared anxiously to await the arrival of Manning
and his wife.
A telegraphic message, we believe, was sen t yesterday
morning to Edinburgh, reqesting the immediate
attendance of Mr. Moxey in London, and this turned
out to be correct, for at a quarter to three it was
announced that he had arrived, and was in an ante-
room of the Court. It was thought desirable that his
evidence should be given before both the prisoners.
Mr. Binns and Mr. Solomons attended as before for
the prisoners.
The yen arrived with them at a quarter past three,
and they were immediately brought into Court, fol-
lowed by Mr. Keene, Governor of the goal.
Manning looked pale, and appeared as if he had
been suffering from much mental anxiety, but no
change cou"d be observed in the appearance of
his wife. On his way to the dock he re-
cognised Inspector Yates as he passed, and
bowed to him ; and during a long interval
which elapsed before the proceedings commenced,
owing to the absence of Mr. Bodkin, he was engaged
in conversation with Mr. Binns. Mrs. Manning also
had a conversation with Mr. Solomons and Mr.
Keene, to the latter of whom she expressed her de-
sire to have an interview with Mr. Moxey, which she
was told could not be granted without an order from

the magistrate.
We believe they conduct themselves very well in
prison. Manning seems to feel his position the moat ;
whilst, on the other hand, the female prisoner retains
that compete nonchalance which has characterised
her throughout the proceedings in the case.
Mr. Bodkin not being present at four o'clock, Mr.
Hayward conducted the case for the prosecution.
The two prisoners were then requested to stand
up, which they immediately did, Mrs. Manning
having first thrown back her veil.
The evidence of Mr. Coleman, the landlord of No.
3, Minver-place, and Mr. Griffiths, the clerk in the
Bank of England, was read over in their presence,
and they attached their signatures to the depositions.
Mr. Moxey was then called, and he recapitulated
his former evidence.
Mr. Richard Hammond, clef k to Messrs. Killick,
stock-brokers, examined, said (in addition to his
former evidence), that hearing of the murder on the
20ch of August, he proceeded to the secretary's
office, in the Bank of England, for the purpose of
stopping the 1001. No. 15,043, sth June, 1849. I
went t` en to the hall of the Bank to inquire it' the
note had been received, and it was produced to me, and
I identified it as the one which I had given to Bassett.
and which I saw Bassett give to the person who gave
the name of Patrick O'Connor. I recognised
it by the number and the. indorsement. I noticed
that the name of Charles James Buckley was indorsed
upon it, and that independent of the
number enabled me to identify it. When
the 1001. note was given to the person whom
we understood to be Mr. O'Connor, Bassett and
Mr. George Linthorne were present. Linthorne lives
in Dean-street, Sono-square, and he is a share dealer.
I saw him to-day at 'Change. He attends there
every day. The manager of the office, Mr.
Highe, is ill in bed. Ile lives at Elliott's-place,
George's-road, Southwark. I see the person who got
the note present in the Court. lam sorry to say he
was the prisoner Manning. I did not see the
name Patrick O'Connor signed to the transfer of
the shares, but I know of my own knowledge that
transfer represents the transaction upon which the
note was paid.
The witness was not eross-examined.
The case was then adjourned until to-morrow
week, at two o'clock.
