thence to the public-house, and waited the arrival of
Mrs. Jarvis, who shortly after arrived with the child,
she had a half pint of porter and a quartern of gin, and
started towards Islington. They next went into a shop
in Lambeth Walk, where they bought a pair of shoes
for 7s. 6d., which they paid for in silver. When they
left the shop the prisoner was going to throw
the old ones away, but Mrs. Jarvis said, Don't do that,
Dick, I'll sell them ; if, they only fetch a quartern it's
better than nothing ; they next went into a shop to
sell them, but they would not buy them. They then
went into another shop in Oakley-street, Lambeth,
where they sold them. The prisoner asked her going
along if she had said anything to the girl Taunton,
when she met her, and she said, I asked her what was
the matter, but she did not stop to answer me.
Mrs. Jarvis said that as she came there, a
man named Ellis met her, and she told him
she was going to her sister's for a screw, aed the
prisoner told her to go, as then she could account
for herself if there were any suspicion. She went, and
the prisoner waited at the General Wolfe public-house,
Gray's-inn Lane. They then went to the Belvidere
public-house, where Mrs. Jarvis obtained a quarterh of
gin on credit, and from that to Thomas-street, Islington,
where they met Ellis. Mrs. Jarvis spoke to him, and
the prisoner then left her. As she went
home, the prisoner went to the Rainbow, and he
was to have gone to Jarvis's to tea when it got
dusk. Mrs. Jarvis also came to the Rainbow, and de-
sired him not to come that night, as there was a rare
stink about it. Tire prisoner shortly after went home
to bed, and was apprehended about half-past eleven the
same night. Jarvis left behind him, in the deceased's
cottage, an old handkerchief, which he had when a pot-
boy, and it was washed nearly white, and Jarvis took
it for the purpose of tying the old man. That was the
whole of his statement.

Mr. He LL asked if he wished to ask any questions.
The prisoner asked, did the witness say that ho
would be entitled to 2004 and a free pardon if he
would make the statement ?

The witness said that he should have the order of the
Secretary of State, which he read to him, and drew
his attention to that part which mentioned except the
person who participated in the murder and robbery.
The prisoner—You had stated that if I related all the
circumstances I should be admitted as evidence.

Witness—l told you that you could not be tried a
second time for the murder ; but said nothing respecting
the robbery,
The prisoner said when the witness first saw him he
said he wa s sent by the Secretary of State to offer a
reward of 200/., and a free pardon, except to the pee-
son who actually committed the murder. lat the same
time declined, and the witness sat for a long time per-
suading ►ne, and I said I wanted to get away and not
to hare anything more to do with it. The witness then
asked, would I give him such and such information for
a certain snm of money, whether there was a conviction
or not ? On your oath have you not done so twice or
thrice

Witness—No. You looked at the papar, and throw-
ing it down said you had told one person. I said if
the gentleman came down and offered the reward, would
you give information ? You then said, if they gave you
1001. and paid your passage money you would make
a disclosure. You saw me write this statement.
The prisoner was then ordered to be remanded until
ednes6.ay next.
