slapped his face, but although she continued struggling with
him and screaming out he did not desist. Afterwards he
stood by the side of the bed for a few minutes, and then
tapped her on the shoulder, and put his head down to her to
kiss her, but site would not let him. He then said he should
kaverer, Ifttl-Nrent'ont-of ftrrslsm.—Witness then got out
of bed and locked the door. Witness remained in the house
all that night. The. next morning- (Saturday) she got up
about seven o'clock, and got the prisoner's breakfast, and he
went out about nine o'clock. Witness then left the house,
and went to Mrs. George, her.laundress, and told her what
the prisoner had done, and she advised witness to write and
inform her (witness's) brother-in-law of the prisoner's con-
duct, which witness did. On the 'same_Morning witness also
told- MrS. Symons, a publican's -wife, of it. Witness went
out for the purpose of quitting, having no relations about
there, but Mrs. Symons persuaded her not to leave until she
heard from her friendS. On Sunday her brother-in-law
come with her sister, and took her. away. Her brother-in-
law saw the prisoner on the Sand'ay afternoon, and she beard
him tell the prisoner that, ihe had written to him to tell him
that the prisoner had been to her bedroom and acted impro-
perly to her, and she heard the prisoner reply that it was
quite right, and that what she had stated to him he (pri-
soner) would not deny.
Cross examined by Mr. Todd—The bedroom door was not
closed, as was in the habit of leaving it open, in
order to hear the clock strike. Entered the. prisoner's ser-
vice on Easter Monday, eight weeks ago, and left on Sunday
last. Mrs. Hislop had given her warning to leave on Tues-
day fortnight. Had been visited once at the prisoner's house
by a journeyman baker, whim she had known for eighteen
months. Told Mrs. Hislop that her brother was cooling,
but it was the' baker. Had not been intimate with the
baker, and she was not enciente. On her oath she was not.
Asked the prisoner beibre she went to bed if he wanted any-
thing more. Ile said "No." She did not tell him that the
would be undressed and ready for hint in a few minutes.
Would swear that she did not invite him to her room,
neither was she on the top of the stairs waiting for hint.
Weald swear that she did not meet him on the top of the
stairs and clasp her arms round his neck. She slept on an
iron bed.tead,sufficient for one person. She struggled and
screamed,but the prisoner was too powerful fur her. Witness
was discharged because she had a sweetheart. Recollects
that anonymous letters had been sent to the house about
her. Mrs. Hislop showed her one. Would swear that she

answer to his questions, explained that she had made up her
mind on Sunday not to stay another night in the house; had
her brother-in-law not come, she would then have gone over
to him in the evening. She certainly did agree, on the Sun-
day, to wash the prisoner's stockings out on the Monday
morning, but she did that as a blind to deceive the prisoner.
Mr. Cervit said there certainly were one or two extra-
ordinary circumstances in the case which would require
inquiry, and for that purpose the prisoner must be re-
manded.
Mr. Todd applied for the prisoner to be admitted to bail.

Mr. CLIVE inquired what was the prisoner's position in
ife?—Mr. Todd said the prisoner was secretary to a public
company, at a salary of 2001. per anuu•r..
Mr. CLIVE said he would then take bail; the prisoner in
2001., and two sureties in 1001. each, for the prisonet's ap-
pearance on Monday next.
Mr. Todd and Mr. Henry Rumball, civil engineers, of
Seething-wells, Kingston-on-Thames, Surrey, entered into
the required sureties.
On the application of Mr. Todd, the brother in-law of the
complainant, was called in and examined, in order to see if
his version of• the interview be had with the prisoner would
differ from the complainant's, but he used the very words
she had.

Mr. CuvE dirested Inspector Morgan to summon the two
witnesses the complainant had told of the affair, and also to
have her examined by a medical man.

THE SUSPECTED MURDER AT
SHADVVELL
Yesterday the adjourned inquest on the body of Anne alias
Jane Sloman, who was found dead under such mispicious cir-
cumstances,on Tuesday, June 2d, at the house, No. 6, Latvour-
in-Vain-street, Shadwell, was resumed at the Halt Motm,
Lower Shadwell. _ _

It will be remembered that Gibbing, the man with whom
she cohabited, was at first charged with the murder, and
was examined at the Thames Police-court, and is still in
custody.
After several witnesses had been heard, the court was ad-
journed till seven o'clock, and was resumed about eight. The
principalfacts have been already very fully stated.
The jury retired at a quarter past eleven o'clock, and after
an absence of nearly two hours, at five minutes s o one o'clock
this morning, returned an open verdict of—" Wilful Murder
against some person or persons unknown."
The interest excited was intense, and the verdict appeared
to give general satisfaction, leaving the inquiry still open u
regards the parties guilty.

ON THE MERSEY.
(From the Liverpool Courier of yesterday.)
Yesterday the inquest on the thirteen persons buried in
LiscardChapel-yard, who were killed-by the late awful steam-
boat collision, was resumed at the Royal HO,g zines,
before H. Churton, Esq., the M
Cheshire coroner,
Mr. Harden appeared for the captain of the Sea-Nymph,
and Mr. Myers for her owners; Mr. T.la.ssall and Mr. Duncan
appeared for the owners and captain of the Rambler.
Mr. Askew, Captain Sarsfield, Captain John Jones, and.
other professional gentlemen, were present.
The evidence taken -at the former inquest only related to
the identification of the bodies; on this occasion the follow-
ing witnesses were examined as to the facts of the collision;
George Hunter, chief mate, and Peter M'Farlane, second,
mate, William Jones, seaman, and. James M'Gregor; en-
gineer, all of whom belong to the Rambler, and David
vanah, a passenger. Their depositions substantially agreed
with what they had previously stated before the borough
coroner, which we gave at great length in our last publica-
tion. No new facts in elucidation of this terrible event wet%
elicited.
At a quarter to six o'clock the Court adjourned until this
day at ten o'clock, when Thomas Evans, captain of the
life-boat, it is expected, will give some important testi-
mony; and John Hughes, one of the life-boat crew, who
was on the shore, and saw the whole transaction, will be
examined.
