IVESTMINSTER.

Thomas Davis was brought before Mr. Broderip
charged with' being concerned with Thomas Sale, George
Thomas Doyle, and John Lloyd, in the murder
and rubbery of Mr. Bel(chambers.
The priAoner Davis is ‘. the man in the plaid shawl,"
mentioutd in the early part of this investigation, of
whom the police have bren in quest for the last six
eeks. Ile was apprehended yesterday morning at the
Bell, in York str, et, by Charles Tapping, 43 B, when
he admitted that he was in company with Mr. Bellcham-
hers on the morning that he meet his untimely end, but
left the King's Head before that gentleman,
The following i►nportant evidence was yesterday given
against the accused:--

-Henry Beese-J-1 am conducting the King's Head,
Orchard street. On the 11 th of October, about two
o'clock in the morning, the prisoner came into the house
with two or three others. One was Doyle. I don't
know the others. They had two or three glasses of
brandy and water together. Prisoner was drinking some
time outside the bar, until there was a dispute with
Doyle and a woman. I went out, and put the woman
out et` the house, and when I came back I found the
prisoner had forced his way into the bar. Mr. Bell-
chambers was sitting in the bar at that time; he had
been there about half an hour. I told the prisoner that
I did not allow any strangers behind the bar. Prisoner
said, I hope you'll excuse me, Sir, I only got inside out
of the bother. I had to turn my back again directly
afterwards to serve a customer at the bar, and when I
returned to the bar parlour the prisoner was seated by
the side of Mr. Bellchambers, talking to him. Mr. Bell-
chambers treated him to some ginger beer andlthey had
a glass of brandy and water. Prisoner went out once
or teice whilst Mr. Bellchambers was there, and re-
turned again to the bar parlour. Mr. Bellchambers paid
for what they had, and also lent the prisoner Is. Pri-
soner remained till half-past four, when he left Mr.
Bellchambers in the bar parlour. Mr. Bellchambers left
at about a quarter past five o'clock.
Henry Meyers, who was serving in the bar of the
King's Head on the morning of the 11th of October,
after confirming the first portion of the previous wit
ness'e statement, said, prisoner tried to come behind the
bar, but Mr. Beese objected to it, telling him that he did
not allow strangers there. The prisoners M'Coy,
Doyle, and :Sale, all went out together, but previous to
their dying so, M'Cuy and Sale had no money to. pay for
what they had, but on their return in fire minutes I
ehelleneed them in the pretence of the prisoner, and
said, " Just now you had PO money," when Sale replied,
tt He had now," and then paid for some ale.
Witness here went on at some length to confirm the
statement of Beese, and then repeated the statement
given on the former examination, that the prisoner
Davis invited Mr Bellchambers to go and take a cup of
tea ‘vith him, which Mr. Bellchambers declined. Whilst
the prisoner was sitting near Mr. Bellchambers, he had
silver money in his possessive, ;although he borrowed
Is. of Mr. Bellchambers, as aitness distinctly saw the ,
prisoner drop half-a-crown._

Mr. 131101;ERIP, haring askel the prisoner whether he
wished to put any questions to the witness ? The pri-
sonwr replied in the affirmative, and elicited the
following answers :—" I did hear you speak to the
others (the prisoners)." "You left the house by
yourself." " You were in after the others were turned
out.'

The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said, " I have
nothing'tnore to say than that I drank with Mr. Bell-
chambers, and then bade .him good night. I have never
seen him since. I have drunk with him before."
Mr. BRODERIP said it was his duty to remand the
prisoner upon this very seriots charge until Thursday
ntxt.

Henry Spicer, a low fellow, who bas been repeatedly
brought to this court for vari9us offences, was charged
with having caused the death A Philip Birch, by strik-
in:: him on the head with tt.pir of firetongs.
It appear: d from the testmasny of two witnesses, that
deceased, who was intoxicated, was at the Admiral
Keppel public-house, Chelsea, on the 4th of November,
and insulted several persons :11 the parlour there, after
which he insisted upon a min named Cook fighting
with.ea Cook said, that if he re-
ediiii4.healwidoushtlr'sltcrkikheihnim with a large file which be
hd w ail him, and upon deceased continuing his offensive
struck at him with ..he file, when the deceased
4teb.sd it from his hand and gave him two or three
tilows-with it. The persons in the room took the file
2!dlay from the deceased, when he seized the man by
the throat. Prisoner, who was in the room, then went
behind -the deceased and crick him twice with the
fire:ongs, the latter time upon the head. Deceased bled
copiously from the wound, and was taken to St. George's
the house surgeon,
oeaudte'd to persuade him to
remain, but Hospital, where
the 24th, be coming much
worse, he again went to the hospital, and died on the
