the jacket sown up by a woman drinking at the bar, and,
after going again to the public-house we were in first we
returned to our lodgings. I was there when the prisoner
was taken, about hall-past five. I did not take sufficient
notice of the key to swear to it, but it was about the size
of the one produced.
Superintendent Jervis—l produce the key identified by
the last witness. On Sunday last, the 29th of May, I took
the lock produced from the front door of Marshall's house,
which opened into the room where the bodies of Mrs. Mar-
shall and her sister-in-law were found. I tried the key.
It fitted the lock. There is white paint on the key similar
to that on the lock. The lock appeared to have been
painted with the key in it.
Daniel Love, warder of Reading gaol, deposed that the
prisoner was discharged from that prison on the Bth of
January last. Ele gave him the cord jacket produced
(which was found in Marshall's bed-room) and a pair of
boots similar to those produced.
Prisoner—Those are not the boots. _

Witness added that when the prisoner was discharged
he said he knew a man who had got some money, and he
would have it, and rather than have eighteen months
again he would murder him. Witness told him not to do
such a thing as that.
Mary Ann Sparks, sister to Mrs. Marshall, who ap-
peared in deep mourning, identified the coat, trousers,
braces, necktie, shirt, collar, and knife found in posses-
sion of the prisoner, as having belonged to her brother-in-
law, Emanuel Marshall. She knew that he had a pistol
like the one produced, but not so bright. She could not
swear to the watch and chain, believing the chain was
more solid. Mary Ann Marshall had a silver watch and
gold chain.
Thurra Spooner, sister to Marshall, said the watch and
chain produced were very much like her sister's. She
found £2O and a wedding-ring in her sister's box and
drawers. .

The Siagistrate—Have you not a brother in America ?
Witness—Yes.

The Magistrate—Does this man resemble him in any
?
way
Witness—No ; he is not at all like him ;my brother was
taller, thinner, and much fairer.
(While saying this, hoWever, there seemed to be an un-
easy feeling about witness.)
Mary Ann Sparks identified all the articles except the
pistol. Thought the chain seemed more soiled than her
sister's.

Sergeant Jervis produced a key sent by Harriet
Willis. Witness went to Denham, took off the lock of
Marshall's house, and compared the key with it. The
key opened the lock, and the two corresponded in every
particular.
At the close of the evidence the Chairman of
the Bench put the usual questions to the pri-
soner, who fumbled at a written scroll which had
been under his arm all day, but said he had nothing to
say. He was then committed to the next assizes in June
on the charge of wilful murder. Before leaving the room
prisoner asked to have the ss. 9d. returned to him which
the police had found upon him, and except when one of
the witnesses pointed at him he never flinched throughout
the examination, although evidently impressed at times
with the weight of evidence against him. He scanned
most of the witnesses narrowly.

HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE BILL:

Lord CAIRNS gave notice that on the bringing up the
report of amendments to this bill, he should move a reso-
lution with respect to the further progress of the measure.

This bill, the object of which is to amend the law with
respect to the forfeiture of the property of felons, and
which was introduced in the other House by Mr. C.
Forster, was read a second time.
NORWICH VOTERS' DISFRANCHISEMENT
BILL.

The House went into committee on this bill.

On clause 2 being proposed, Lord CAIRNS moved an
amendment to extend the exceptions set out in the clause
to the name of Mr. Arthur Bignold, as the evidence
brought forwards-to show that he was implicated in the
corrupt practices that took place at the late election was
less than that upon which Mr. Stracey was acquitted.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had looked into the
case of Mr. Bignold, and he did not think the evidence
was brought up to conviction, and therefore he would not
object to the proposition.
The other clauses were agreed to, and the bill was re-
ported with one amendment,
The Churchwardens' Liability Bill passed through com-
mittee and was reported with amendments.
On the motion for going into committee on the Bridg-
water and Beverley Disfranchisement bill,
Lord FAVERSHAM thought the bill a very severe one,
and asked whether any arrangement had been made with
respect to the disposal of the vacant seats.
Earl GRANVILLE said he was unable to answer the ques-
tion, and then their lordships resolved themselves into
committee on the bill, which was afterwards reported
with amendments.
In reply to Lord Redesdale,

The LORD CHANCELLOR said with respect to the Real
Estate Succession Bill it was intended to go on with it at
the earliest opportunity.
Their lordships adjourned at five minutes past seven
until Monday week.
