A man's shirt, covered with blood, was found in a
privy in a small wood near Ravenswharf, about two
miles from Mr. Wraith's house, by a woman, on the af-
ternoon of the day on which the murders were com-
mitted, and before news had reached so far. The breast
of the shirt was much bespattered, and the sleeves were
the same, while the wristbands appeared as if they had
been steeped. The body of the shirt also bore marks as
if bloody hands had been wiped upon it. This garment
the woman showed to her neighbours; and, unfortu-
nately for the ends of justice, one of them, in ignorance
of what had happened, and believing the marks to have
been produced by a far different cause, burnt the gar-
ment, and thus rendered inquiry fruitless as to whether
it could have belonged to either of the prisoners charged,
or to any other person.
The scene of the murders still continues to be visited
by large numbers of persons, who have been allowed to
see the house, and otherwise gratify their curiosity
touching the dreadful tragedy. The house is at present
occupied by Mr. Benjamin Wraith, a nephew of the late
Mr. Wraith.
The prisoners, who have been removed from the
Dewsbury lock-up to the Wakefield,House of Correc-
tion, in order to their safe keeping, were not present at
the adjourned inquiry.
The evidence was much the same as that adduced be-
fore the magistrates at Dewsbury on Saturday last.
Two of the witnesses said, that one or two scissors'
grinders were in the neighbourhood in which Mr.
Wraith's house is situate about noon on the 12th instant,
but there is no reason whatever for supposing that they
were connected in any way with the dark deed with
which the two prisoners are charged, and that, after the
minute investigations which the police have made, the
prisoners are the only parties on whom suspicion rests.
As the inquiry is still further adjourned, and the princi-
pal new facts developed are stated above, we shall not
give the examination of the witnesses, except those of
the two following:—
Mr. W. West, F.R.S., analytical chemist, of Leeds,
stated—On the 14th of May I received certain articles
from Mr. Green, superintendent of police. They were
a dark green coat, a pair of fustian trousers, a pair of
stockings, and a pair of shoes. I have subsequently
received other articles, namely, a brown coat, a basket, a
piece of paper, a sack, a soldering-iron, with a handle
and key. There were several marks on the dark green
coat which had to the eye more or less of the appearance
of dried blood. I cut out several portions, and sub-
mitted them to a variety of experiments. Some of the
marks showed no chemical signs of having arisen from
blood; others I am perfectly convinced were marks of
blood. (Mr. West here pointed out remaining portions
of some marks on the green coat which he had found to
be blood, and also portions of which he had found not to
be blood.) I think, upon the whole, I found five spots
which proved dewily to be blood. As far as I recollect,
they were all on the right lap of the coat. On the
left sleeve of the brown coat I found one spot which
I proved to be of blood. It was a small spot, but
I have no doubt of its nature. I have not found
satisfactory proof of blood upon any of the other
garments which I received from Mr. Green. On
the key which I received I find clear proof,
by several experiments, of the presence of animal
matter. On the soldering iron I find proof of the pre-
sence of animal matter, and also on the handle; and I
have established to my own satisfaction that that animal
matter is fibrin. Fibrin is the principal portion of
muscle or flesh, and also of that portion of blood which
after coagulation resists solution in water. I wish to de-
cline at present to give an opinion as to whether
the blood on the garments is human blood, though I
may at a future day be able to decide positively on that
point. I consider the presence of blood upon both the
coats, and the animal matter upon the two instruments,
to be of the nature of a fact rather than of an opinion,
and I wish to avoid, if possible, mixing up in my own
mind what does not come further than an opinion with
a fact. There was a small speck on the handle of the
basket, which I proved to be blood. I wish to reserve
my opinion as to the paper at present, but I intend to
to pursue my investigations further. The blood spots
ont
vehegr3 clearly, re, encrolay, and I in
tinthe
tshtatek do so still,inwhich thatrece theyive
d it did
show were
not from wipes or smears, but from splashes or jets. I
would not undertake to speak precisely as to the number
of days which the blood-marks had been upon the green
coat, but in my opinion the marks had been on only a
few days. I found no chemical proof of blood upon the
stockings.

but I could not say whether he was walking or standing.'
He looked to be walking. He bad big basket on his
arm. I did not see where he went to, but I am quite
sure it was he, from the dress he had on. I saw
Michael M'Cabe first, and Patrick at the same time. I
saw them both at the same time. M'Cabe was on the
road leading to Mr. Wraith's house. He was about ten
yards from John Miiinnell's garden, in the private road
leading towards Mr. Wraith's house. It would be half
way between Water Royd-lane and Mr. Wraith's house,
I should suppose, but I have never been that road.—
[Here, at the request of the coroner, the witness went,
in company with Mr. Clapham, surveyor, and Superin-
tendent Green, to point out the place where he saw
M'Cabe, and to ascertain the distance the prisoner had
gone from Water Royd-lane in the direction of Mr.
Wraith's house. On the witness's return he stated as
follows] :—M'Cabe, at the time I saw him, was going to-
wards Mr. Wraith's house. I have pointed out the place
to Mr. Clapham, the surveyor,where I saw M'Cabe at first.
It is about 58 yards from Water Royd-lane. M'Cabe had
a basket with some pots in it. There was a smart shower
of rain came within a few minutes after I saw the two
prisoners, and I went forward. I did not see them join
each other. I had not seen Reid and M'Cabe so nearly
together before that day. I knew them both well, and
Reid especially, because I had a strong argument with
him last summer on the Roman Catholic system. I
know M`Cabe from having met him when hawking, and
I have several times spoken to him. I am sure they
were the two men I saw in this lane. I have shown Mr.
Clapham the place where I saw Reid. The usual dinner-
hour in Mirfield is from half.past twelve to one o'clock.
I did not see either M'Cabe or Reid in Water Royd-lane
on the 12th, nor did I see them before I saw them in the
private road.
Charles Flint, of Robert Town, Liversedge, labourer,
stated—l recollect the 12th of May. I got home about
three o'clock in the afternoon of that day. Michael
M'Cabe was in my house when I got home. I heard of
the murders at Mirfield as I was going home, and I
asked my housekeeper, Mary Scorey, if she had heard
anything about the murders at Mr. Wraith's house. She
said she had not heard anything about it. M'Cabe heard
this, and said there wal nothing so sure, and that he had
been at the place. I asked him what he had seen? He
said he rapped at the door, and heard a footstep on the
stairs; that there was a good -like young fellow came and
opened the door; that he (M'Cabe) asked him if he
wanted anything in the pot line? and that he said
" No, ;sir; that he asked him again, and got
no answer, and that the man then shut the kitchen
door. I asked M'Cabe if he had seen nothing? and he
said, " Yes lots of blood behind the kitchen door." I
asked him if he knew the person who came to the door?
and he said he did not, but that he could not tell the
person again. I said, " Was it not t'old master, think

AWFUL ATTEMPT TO MURDER.
(From the Manchester Times of yesterday.)
A shocking and most extraordinary attempt was made
yesterday (Thursday) morning, by an old woman in
Hulme, to murder her son-in- law, while asleep in bed,
by cutting his throat. The name of the woman is Eliza
beth Jackson, and her daughter and son-in-law, Thomas
Royle, lived with her, at No. 43, Caton- street, Hultne.
Jackson is a married woman, but separated from her
husband. She slept in the same room with her son-in-
law and daughter, and at an early hour went to the bed-
side of the young couple, who have only been married
nine mo:.ths, and leaning over the body of the daughter,
with a large table knife cut the throat of Royle, who
lay next to the wall, and who, as well as his wife, was
fast asleep. Fortunately the knife was not very sharp,
and the young man was awoke by its passing across his '
throat before a sufficiently deep incision had been effected
to prove fatal. He put out his hand to save himself,
when the end of one of his fingers was nearly cut off,
and he then sprang out of bed, and ran into an adjoining
house for help.
The prisoner, in the course of yesterday morning, was
brought up for examination at the Borough Court, when
the following evidence was given:—
Thomas ltoyle said he was the prisoner'a son-in-law,
having married her daughter in October last. The
prisoner slept in the same room with him and his wife.
The prisoner went to bed first on Wednesday night,
about ten o'clock, and he and his wife followed shortly
after. No ill-words or quarrel had taken place, but
they had all been comfortable; that (Thursday) morn-
but the prisoner did not

something drawn across his throat, and on looking up,
saw the prisoner leaning over the bed with the knife now
produced in Court in her grasp, which she was drawing
backwards and forwards across his throat. His wife

William Court, a police officer, stated that he was

house, when he found her sitting by the bed-side. He
told her what she was charged with, and took her into
custody. She accompanied him willingly, merely ob-

The knife produced in court was very blunt, but of
large size, and the wound inflicted on Royle's throat
WAS from two to three inches in length,

had examined the wound, was not present, and ultimately
the case was remanded, that his evidence might be ob-

Sir E. Walker said ho had also participated in the
feeling. On the opening day he had au invitation ticket
presented him, but many persons telling him not to trust
himself upon the bridge, as it was dangerous, he had not
dared to venture on it.

Mr. Lee, clerk of the works of the Chester and Holy-
herd Railway, said—l superintended the construction of
the bridge. The abutments on the Salteney side are
piled for a foundation. Upon the piles were placed a
strong flooring of timber, and upon that platform we
built the abutment of Ashlar-stone facings, ten feet in
thickness. The piers are built on hard clay. The wit-
ness then went into a lengthened detail of the construc-
tion of the bridge, and described the materials as of the
most sound description.

say. The breaking of the girder would cause the fall of
masonry. Never had any complaint as to the insecurity
of the bridge. Believed it to have been perfectly safe.
Tested the deflexion of the bridge before and since the
accident, and found it to range from an inch to an inch
and three-eighths. Did not try it before the accident
in consequence of anything he had heard.
Mr. Tyrell—l believe you have seen three-coupled
engines pass over the bridge ? Witness—l have so.
The weight of which, with the tenders, exceeded 100
tons. It was about the weight of any train that could
travel over it.

is doing its part; and if the people do not do theirs,the

or the want of water.
THE POTATO BLIGHT.—The piercing winds at the
latter part of last week cut up the growing crops in the
low grounds round Newport and Carisbrook, and put on
them all the appearance of their old enemy—the potato
blight. The gardeners all were frightened; some of
them still will have it that the potatoes were struck on
Thursday and Friday mornings; others say it was a
frost; but certain it is they are fast recovering, and that
the potatoes all over the island never gave promise of a
finer crop. Every description of grain and grass looks
well; the weather is everything that could be wished, and
there is more corn in rick and store than the holders are I
willing to acknowledge; many who could hardly be
spoken to a week since are now running about with their
samples, anxious to sell.
JUVENILE OFFENDERS.--Orl Tuesday, about 80 of
these aspirants to fame, having completed their reform-
atory education, received a conditional pardon, and were
sent from l'arkhurst Prison, and embarked in the John
Somes, for conveyance to Hobart Town. They all go
out as free settlers, and having a knowledge of various
trades, may yet become good members of society. They
marched down in good order, and were under no guard
or restraint excepting the two wardens.
Mr. James Whiteside, Q.O , the Irish barrister who
so eminently distinguished himself in the State trials of 1844,
and who has, since that time, being in so precarious a state
of het.lth, has now returned from Italy, after an absence of
nearly two years. The Learned Gentleman's health is, we
are happy to hear, restored ; and it is hoped he will be able to
resume his place in that profession of which he has been so
distinguished an ornament.
SIR JOHN BECKETT.—The health of the Right
Hon. Baronet, we understand, continues to decline, notwith-
standing his removal from his residence in London to the
salubrious air of 13rigliton.

After some considerable discussion the jury agreed to
postpone the taking of Mr. Stephenson's evidence until
the Government officers had given their opinion as to
the cause of the accident.
At fire o'clock the proceedings were adjourned, the
Coroner being directed to summon General Pasley and
the other inspectors.

LINCOLN, MAT 28.—The City Crier is just now
going round with his bell to announce to the inhabitants
that the price of wheat has fallen full 155., 165., and 17s.
a quarter sinco last Friday, the market-day, and in
consequence flour will be cheaper. The writer of this
heard a farmer say he never saw such a market in his
life—all sellers, but no buyers. Samples of wheat—
white and red—in great abundance were shown ; the
weather hot and sunny.— A Correspondent, in haste.
GREAT FALL IN THE PRICE OF WHEAT.—At
Uxbridge market (one of the largest in the vicinity of
London), on Thursday last, the price of wheat fell 3!.
per load, taking the average prices which were obtained
at the previous market day. At this reduction not so
many sales were effected as might have been expected ;
the buyers holding back in the expectation that a con-
siderable further reduction will take place next week.
A great fall also took place at Maidenhead market on
the previous day. The present splendid weather has
had a very material effect in keeping down the prices.
The growing crops throughout the counties of Berks
and Bucks appear to be in a most flourishing state. A
most abundant harvest is generally predicted.
ANOTHER FALL IN TEE PRICE OF BREAD.—Yes-
terday evening. the bakers throughout the metropolis
reduced the price of the 41bs. loaf id. The best bread
at the west-end is now charged Is. Ofd., second rate 11d.
and lofd.• in many parts it is only 10d.; and the League
bread 9id. per 4lbs. loaf, weighed on delivery, and good
holesome quality.

FATAL ACCIDENT WHILE DATIIING.—Last even-
ing, between eight and nine o'clock, several youths and
young men were bathing on the south bank of the
Thames, opposite Cheyne-walk, Chelsea. One of them.
a young man, named John Eldershaw, living at No. 19,
Livingstone-street, Newington, who was an expert
swimmer, ventured out nearly into the centre of the
river, on reaching which he was observed to rise some
height out of the water, and giving a shriek, he sunk,
and was not seen to rise again. Th© body has not been
found,
