• THE DAGENHAM MURDER.
DAGENIIAM, TUESDAY EVENING.—This forenoon, at
ten o'clock, the inquiry into the horrible and mysterious
murder of the police-constable George Clarke, was re-
sumed, fbr the sixth time, before Mr. C. C. Lewis, the
coroner, and jury, at the Cross Keys Inn, facing Dagen-
ham Church.
It would scarcely be imagined, considering the long
period which has elapsed since the perpetration of the
murder, that public excitement should still prevail. So
far, however, from having subsided, the interest felt in
the proceedings appears to have increased with each
adjournment of the inquest, more particularly amongst
the resident gentry, and more respectable classes, resident
in the vicinity of Dagenham and the surrounding villages.
Notwithstanding the early hour at which the resumption
of the inquest was appointed to take place, long before
that time not only was the inquest room, but every avenue
leading thereto, densely crowded.
Mr. Superintendent Pearce was again in attendance to
watch the case on the part of the police commissioners.
Mr. Rawlings, solicitor, of Romford, attended on the
part of Sergeant Parsons (still under the strict surveil-
lance of the police); and Mr. Superintendent Macquard
and Inspector Richardson, of the K division, as also
several officers of the detective force, were in attendance.
The Coroner took his seat a few minutes after ten
o'clock, and the jury having answered to their names.
Police-constable George Dunning was first called and
examined—He said, my number is 397 K. I have been
on duty at Dagenham rather better than nine weeks.
Parsons has not during any part of that time been in my
charge. During the time I have been at Dagenham
station Sergeant Parsons has been there. I recollect the
night of August the 27th. Between eleven and twelve
o'clock on that night I was at the station, in a back
room, and I heard quarrelling between Sergeant Par-
sons and his sister, who were at the time up stairs. Ido
not know what they were quarrelling about, but I heard
her accuse him of something. I could not distinctly un-
derstand what it was, but the reply Parsons made to that
was—" Do you mean this affair?" but what affitir he
alluded to I don't know. When he said " this affair,"
she replied, " Yes, this affair, and others too." Parsons
then began to cry, and I heard no more. I knew that
he was crying, for he cried out loud, so that I could hear
him. I spoke of this to Sergeant Pearson, who was at
the time in the charge-room, and to Sergeant Corvin,
the acting sergeant. I was called on to make a report
about it on the Tuesday following, which I gave to Ser-
geant Pearson.

By the CORONER—I heard Parsons and his sister quar-
relling when I was in the street, and I then heard Par-
sons threaten to throw his sister down stairs if she did
not hold her tongue. I heard no other threat. I think
this was a quarter of an hour before I heard them when
I was in the station. I have told you all I have heard, to
the best of my recollection, and all I reported to Ser-
geant Pearson.

- CORONER—Don't you know that you reported to Ser•
geant Pearson that you heard Parson's sister say, " You
know that you are guilty of it ?" Witness—No, I did
not report the word " guilty " that I recollect.
CORONER—You must recollect either one thing or the
other, and if you do not you are a most unfit person to
give evidence either before this or any other jary.
George Corvin, police-constable 100 K—l am acting
sergeant of police, stationed at Dagenham. On the
night of the 27th of August I was on duty at the Da-
genham station. Between the hours of 12 and 1, Dun-
ning, the constable, called me to the stairs to listen to
Sergeant Parsons and his sister quarrelling. They were
up stairs and the door closed. I could not hear one
word distinctly that they spoke. Dunning stated to me,
whilst standing at the stairs, that " Sergeant Parsons'
sister had said, You know you are guilty of it." That
Sergeant Parsons made answer directly, "In this
affair? " His sister then said, " Yes, and many
more." Sergeant Parsons then called her an oppro-
brious epithet and burst out crying. That is the report
Dunning made to me. lam certain every word I stated
is correct.

By the CORONER—I heard a noise as if some one was
crying when I was at the bottom of the stairs. I could
not tell if it was a man or woman crying.
Dunning was recalled, and said he had no recollection
of making use of the word " guilty,"
CORONER—Why, you repeated to me, word for word,
in the yard of this house, that which Corvin has now
stated. I was very particular in questioning you, and
the statement made by Corvin is exactly the report you
made to me.

Sergeant Pearson was next called, and declared that
Dunning said to him that Parsons' sister had said to him,
" You know that you are guilty."
Julia Parsons, the sister of Sergeant Parsons, was
here called in and sworn —She said—l recollect being at
the Dagenham station on the night of the 27th of
August. I was with my brother up stairs on that night.
His wife was away from him, at her father's, at Barking-
side. We had a few words on that night concerning
our own family. I don't know how long we were quar-
relling, but should say half an hour.
CORONER-Do you happen to recollect what you said
to him during the quarrel? Witness—l said very little
to him. During the time we were quarrelling there
was no allusion made to the death of Clarke. My brother
was making allusion to his brothers not writing to him
ever since he has been under arrest. Ido not remember
what I said to him, but I was in a passion. Ido not re-
collect saying anything about the murder of Clarke. I
did not say that he knew he was guilty of it.
CORONER-Will you undertake to swear that you did
not say so? Witness—Yes, I will. Ido not remember
having said anything like that. He called me some
names I cannot mention, and at the end of the quarrel
he cried. All I accused him of was concerning our own
family.

COiIoNER—Do you recollect his asking you, when you
accused him of several things, " Do you mean this
affair ?" Witness—l do not recollect his saying so. I
would swear he did not say so. I admit I was in a great
passion at the time, and may not recollect all that was
said between us.

By the CORONER—I will swear that I know no more
about the matter than I have already stated. I have no
reason to believe the statement I have previously made
about my brother being at home on the night of the
murder is untrue,

Edward Langley examined—l am a sergeant of the
detective police force. I came to Dagenham on the 16th
of last month. I recollect going to the spot where
Clarke was murdered in company with sergeant Par-
sons, on the 18th, two days after I came here. On my
return I picked up this handkerchief (now produced) in
a meadow adjoining the field where the murder took
place. On attempting to pick it up it stuck to the grass,
and I then found that ft was clotted with blood as it is now.
The handkerchief was here produced to the jury. It
is of silk, having a blue ground, with a figured orange,
yellow, and crimson border, very old, and much torn.
There was a great quantity of blood stains upon it.
The CORONER directed that the handkerchief should
be left at Dagenham station where it could be identified.
That might in all probability lead to some discovery as
to the owner.

[Mr. Rawlings here expressed his wish, on the part of
Parsons, that Inspector Richardson should be examined
as to certain words alleged to have fallen from Sergeant
Parsons, whilst sitting at a public-house at Romford, by
a witness named Clements.]
Mr. Inspector Richardson was then sworn—lle said,
on Wednesday, the Bth of July, I was at Romford, with
Sergeant Pearson, who was in front of me walking, and
we went into a public-house with Clements. When
there, I asked Clements what his name was? and told
him to sit down. lle turned round and sat down upon
the form, and in doing so Clements gave a very heavy
sigh. Sergeant Parsons was sitting a little to his right
reading the newspaper. I told Clements that I had heard
he had received a heavy blow in the neck. Ile said,
" No." I asked him to show me, and he took off his
handkerchief. I then observed just under his ear an old
abscess. I examined his chest all the way down, and I
then let him go.
Mr. Rawlings—Will you ask the witness whether he
heard anything drop from Parsons on that occasion?
CORONER—The most important thing is whether
Clements got into the room before Inspector Richardson.
Inspector Richardson—When I arrived Parsons was
reading the newspaper, and Pearson and Clements were
in the room.

Mr. Rawlings wished to know if the inspector heard
Parsons say anything, as stated by Clements ? The
reason be wished to have this question answered, was
the fact that ho believed he could show that Sergeant
Parsons was never left alone in the company of Cle-
ments. It had gone forth to the world that Parsons and
Clements were alone when the alleged observation
(" Ah, poor fellow ! I wish I had not done it, now,')
was made.

Inspector Richardson, in answer to the Coroner, said,
he certainly saw Parsons in the thoughtful position de-
scribed by Clements, but he did not hear him make the
statement alleged to have been heard by Clements.
Thomas Pearson—l am a police sergeant, 32 K. On
the Bth of July I went to the Lion public-house at Rom-
ford with the man Clements. I first entered the room,
avid Clements followed me. I found Sergeant Parsons
there, sitting on the left-hand side of the room, reading
the newspaper. I remained in the room, I think, about
three or four minutes, and then left and went to the bar.
I was not absent I should say more than half a minute.
I returned to the room, and myself and Inspector Rich-
ardson then examined Clements, and I remained there
until Clements went away. Parsons was reading the
paper the greater portion of the time, but I heard nothing
fall from him during the time I was there.
By the CORONER—When I left the room, Inspector
Richardson was standing at the door of the room with
the door-handle in his hand. Parsons and Clements
were, at the time I left them, sitting close together, with
Clements on the left hand side of Parsons.

The CORONER here inquired of Mr. Rawlings if he
desired any more witnesses to be examined, or if Par.
sons desired to make any statement to the jury.
Mr. Rawlings replied in the negative.
By direction of the Coroner, Kimpton, Ferns, Hick-
ten, Butfoy, and the other constables placed under the
surveillance of the police, were here sent for from the
Dagenham police-station. On their arrival,
Kimpton was first called, and said, in answer to the
CORONER, that he had nothing further to state, and that
the last evidence he gave was true.
Ferns was similarly questioned, as were also Ilickton
and Butfoy, and they also said their last evidence was
true, and they had nothing further to add.
There being no further evidence,
The CORONER proceeded at some length to address
the jury. lie observed that the charge which they had
so long had in hand could only be viewed as a murder of
a very atrocious and mysterious character. Ile had no
doubt they were aware that it was their duty not to
allow their minds to be swayed by any reports they
might have either heard or read concerning this lamenta-
ble occurrence, but to be guided solely by the evidence
adduced before them. They would bear in mind the
circumstances of the case. The unfortunate young
man George Clarke was but 20 years of age. He had
only been in the police about six months, and had come
to Dagenham about six week* before hi sdeath, in cora-

pany with Hicicton, from the police station in Arbour-
square. Nothing particular occurred until the night
of the 29th of June (the night of the murder).
On that evening it was proved that the deceased
~vent on duty with his brother constaldrs at
nine o'clock, and proceeded to his boat. The last consta-
ble lie was seen in company with was Sergeant Parsons
about half-past nine o'clock. The sergeant was then in
the road on horseback, and Clarke onfoot, and at this
time the wife of Sergeant Parsons and his sister came
along, and Mrs. Parsons having complained of being
tired, the poor fellow Clarke, who was in good spirits
as the time, offered to lift her on to the sergeant's horse,
but did not do so. Parsons' wife and sister left Clarke
and Parsons together, and he was not seen again until
half-past ten o'clock, when Clarke was met by a man
named Luke White. That was the last time, so far as
the evidence showed, that the deceased was seen alive.
He was missed at one o'clock in the morning, and at six
o'clock on the 30th the deceased was reported by the
police as missing. The body, as the jury were all un-
fortunately aware, was not discovered until four days
after, when it was found in the corn-field where the
murder took place. Upon reference to the medical evi-
dence which the jury had heard, he (the Coroner) wished
particularly to direct their attention to that portion of
the case, as it was most important, clearly proving that
the murder was the result of revenge. The murderer
was not satisfied with killing his victim, but mangled
him in the frightful manner seen by the jury, and de-
tailed in the medical evidence. Had the deceased been
killed in an ordinary quarrel, or in the performance of
his duty, his assailants would have been satisfied with in-
flicting on him a single blow or cut, such as had been de-
scribed, and then left him; but when the jury reflected on
the horrible wayin which the unfortunate man was muti-
lated, they could come to no other conclusion than that
this most atrocious murder was the result of revenge,
and nothing else. The Learned Coroner here pro-
ceeded to read over the voluminous evidence, commenting
on it as he proceeded. In reference to the evidence of
the police, he said that it appeared clear that during
portions of the night of the murder Sergeant Parsons
was not on duty. What became of Parsons between
half-past ten and twelve o'clock on that night, and be-
tween one and six o'clock on the following morning, did
not appear, nor did Parsons exhibit any disposition to.
inform the jury. Again, the constable Butfoy endea-
voured to make it appear that he was not on duty on the
night of the murder, having, as he said, got drunk at
Romford, and that he was in bed from five o'clock in the
afternoon of the 29th of June, until six o'clock the
next morning, when he heard that the deceased Clarke
was missing. Now this was positively contradicted by
Kimpton and by Parsons himself, who said Butfoy came
to the station at twelve o'clock, and said, " All right,
sergeant." If Butfoy could prove he was really in bed,
why then his time was accounted for on the night of the
murder ; bnt if he did not, then there must be some sus-
picion attaching to his conduct. They had it proved, that
on the morning after the murder, when Clarke was re-
ported missing, Parsons left the station-house with the
constable Kimpton, and before he had proceeded 200 yards
from the station he proposed to Kimpton what tale they
were all to stick to in reference to his being on duty on the
night of the murder. Now that had struck him (the Coro-
ner) as a very strong and suspicious circumstance in
the case, but it would be for the jury to say, what
importance should be attached to it. With reference to
the conduct of the police generally in the case, there were
no words strong enough in the English language to ex-
press the disgust which must be felt by all right-minded
persons at their conduct. He applied his observations
to those policemen who had been guilty of the foul and
heinous crime, to say the least of it, of wilful and cor-
rupt perjury. The unfortunate circumstance was, that
these very men, the servants of the public, had in the
first instance been engaged in tracing cut the perpetra-
tors of the deed and in forwarding the ends of justice,
and they had been the principal means by which the
ends of justice had been defeated. They had been en-
gaged to ascertain the perpetrators of the diabolical
deed, and they had done everything in their power to
repress the truth. In consequence of these circum-
stances the greatest difficulty and mystery had been
thrown around the case; but it would be for the jury to
consider whether there was suspicion founded on the
evidence sufficiently strong to warrant them in returning
a verdict of wilful murder against any person or per-
sons. He need not again caution the jury that they
were bound to come to a conclusion without any hatred
er malice, but that they were bound to do so solely from
the facts adduced in evidence before them. If they did
not think that the circumstances were sufficiently strong
to inculpate any person or persons in a charge of wilful
murder, then it would the duty of the jury to return an
open verdict of wilful murder against some person or
persons unknown. With these remarks he (the coroner)
would leave the case in the hands of the jury, doubting
not but that they would come to such a conclusion as
would satisfy their own consciences, and the minds of
the public at large, in so important a matter.
The inquest-room was here cleared of strangers, and
after a consultation lasting upwards of an hour, the
Court was re-opened, when the Coroner announced that
the jury had come to a, verdict of " Wilful murder against
some person or persons unknown."
Mr. Rawlings said, on the part of Sergeant Parsons,
he now wished to know if he was to remain in the cus-
tody, or under the surveillance, of the police any longer?
Mr. Superintendent Pearce said he had no authority
to answer that question.
The CORONER said he would undertake to say, that
not only Sergeant Parsons, but the whole of the men
who had sworn falsely, would be indicted forthwith for
perjury. _ - - -

kr.-Rawlings said, on the part of Sergeant Parsons,
he was prepared to meet any charge which might be
brought against him. _ _

The CORONER remarked, that no doubt a few days
would decide the matter, and if Sergeant Parsons still
remained in custody he had no one to blame for it but
himself.

The proceedings in this protracted and truly mys-
terious affair then terminated.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.

(Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman Gums.)
ASSAULT, WITH INTENT TO DO GRIEVOUS BODILY
lIARM.—John Morgan, aged 19, a last-maker, was
charged with having feloniously stabbed and wounded
Martin O'Hara, an officer in the service of the Great
Western Railway Company, with intent to do him grie-
vous bodily harm.
Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Prendergast attended for the prisoner.
Mr. CLARKsoN having opened the case, called
Martin O'Hara, who said that on the 22d of August
he gave evidence in that Court, and on leaving he called
(looking for a friend) in a public-house near Golden-
square, and, not finding him, was coming out,
when the prisoner, who was inside, said, " There goes a
b-- railway policeman," at the same time drays ing the
weapon out of a sword-stick and stabbing him in the
back. Witness said " you have stabbed me in the back."
The prisoner said nothing, but the landlord said. t' I
hope not," and wished them to make it up. Witrkes%3 re-
fused, and the prisoner was given into custody.
Police-constable 185 C said that he was ca!►.erl to take
the prisoner into custody. Ile was not quite sober, and
when told what he was charged with, he said, " Oh, it's
only a lark, and I'm sorry for it." On tl.ic way to the
station-house the prisoner said, " I'll go -with you, but I
won't go with that b---."
Mr. PRENDERGAST then addressed the jury, and cha-
racterised the whole matter as of the most trumpery
kind. The grievous bodily harm resolved itself into a
trifling puncture of the skin, for •which no surgeon had.
been consulted, and which would never have been heard
of, if the person aggrieved had not been a policeman.
Witnesses were hoard to character.

The Learned ItEcouumt summed up, and the jury,
after a brief consultation, returned a verdict of guilty of
an aggravated assault. The jury at the same time ex-
pressed their reprobation of the use of such instruments.
The prisoner was sentenced to six months' imprison-
ment, with hard labour, the Learned Judge regretting
that the Court could not shut its eyes to the fact that
this crime was greatly on the increase, and, therefore,
the public safety required that every such offence should
be visited by severe punishment.

POLICE INTELLIGENCIC,
MANSION-HO USE.
A young man named John Seymour wog brought
before the Lord Mayor, charged with the offence
specified in the following evidence:—
William Norman, coffeehouse keeper in St. George's-
street East, stated that on Saturday week the prisoner
came to the house, and said t!-tat he wished to board and
lodge there a short time. 'Witness asked him for some
security as to the disc.narge of the amount of the ex-
pense, and he offered an advance note, which witness
returned to him on Saturday, receiving from him at the
same time the advance note produced, for 31. 55., pur-
porting to be signed " F. Richardson," commander of
the British Queen, and addressed to Mr. Angar, 7,
Fenchurch-street. The prisoner had his board and
lodging with witness for ten days, which amounted to
1/., and witness gave him the remainder of the sum at
different times. The prisoner wrote his name on the
back of the note.
Mr. John A. Angar, merchant, of Fen-court, Fen-
church-street, said that he had no vessel called the
British Queen, nor was he agent of any such vessel, nor
did he know any commander of the name of Richardson.
The prisoner said that the writing on the back of the
note was not his.—Committed for trial.
William Hall, cab-driver, No. 4,033, was charged with
having violently whipped a lad named John Noble.
As the complainant was drawing St truck in Fen-
church-street a waggon was passing by, and the prisoner
wanted to drive his cab between witness and the pave-
ment, and then began to lash the lad most desperately,
and struck him in the eye with his whip. A person
who witnessed the brutal conduct of the defendant
readily appeared to 'give evidence of the fact.
Alderman MusG ROVE said he should inflict the penalty
of 30 shillings upon the defendant, who refused to pay,
and said it way quite ridiculous to say that any assault
had been conamitted.—The prisoner was committed.
GREENWICH.
aORSE STEALING.—John Johnson, a cab driver, re-
siding on Blackheath-hill, was broughtlbefore Mr. Trail!,
charged with stealing a gelding and harness, the pro-
perty of William Attersley, hackney master, of No, 73,
Strutton-ground, Iforseferry-road, Westminster, and also
a horse, the property of W. Walker, of Yokk-road,
Lambeth, cab proprietor.
Mr. Attersley identified his horse, which was safe in
the stable on the night of Monday fortnight last, after
the gates had been closed and barred.
James Rapsey, police-constable, 102 R, deposed that
the horse in question was handed over to him by a per-
son named Crutch, at the Sun Inn, Blackheath-hill, who
had agreed to purchase it after inquiry, and had paid a
deposit of ss. on account. Witness, from information
given, followed and apprehended prisoner in the Black-
heath-road.
John Crutch, michquaker, Blackheroh, deposed that -

the prisoner called upon him about ten in the morning
saying he had a horse, &c., for sale,•the property of his,
uncle, by whom he had been commissioned to dispose of
it.- Witness agreed to the terms, and paid ss. on account
conditionally. Ile (witness) made inquiry, but could
hear nothing of the party referred to. He then went to
London with the prisoner to see his uncle, but hi.;
quirks were unsatisfactory, and on their return to Black"
heath •hill he gave him into custody.
The prisoner, in answer to Mr. PRL
he had nothing to say to the
thatepli elide that
drunk at the time.
Mr. Crutch said the prisoner was not in liquor, and
that he knew perfectly well what he was about.
Mr. Attersley said he would prove that the prisoner
was seen to leave his yard mounted, at a quarter-past
three o'clock on the morning of the robbery, the horse
at the time wearing the harness, and gallop away. Th,el
prisoner must have bean secreted about the stables al
night, as the gates were closed and barred at eleven
o'clock.
Mr. Thomas Clark, chemist and druggist, Blackheath;
hill, identified a great coat, value about 41., which had
been stolen out of his gig during the time the prisoneir
was employed to assist in the stable. The coat hau
been sold by the prisoner to John Straw, another Cab'
driver, for 175., and was traced by the police-constable to
Mr. Brown's, White Hart, in the Borough, where it had
been left.
The prisoner here pleaded guilty to taking the grelit
coat. _

Rapsey, the police-constable, said that another stolen
horse had been traced to the prisoner, taken from the
stable-3 and of Mr. Walker, a hackney master, residing
in York-road, Lambeth.
George Young, of the Black Horse, WhitechaPfl9
proved purchasing the horse of the prisoner. Tho Wit-
ness disposed of it to Mr. Sammy, of Portland Town,
who deposed to again selling it to Mr. Tomlinson, of the
same place, for 61. 10s.
The prisoner was committed for trial.
WANDS WORTH.
William Wilson was brought 'up for re-examination
upon a charge of embezzling various sums of money be;
longing to his employer, Mr. Cavenay, a milkman, and
corn and coal merchant, No. 1, Britannia-place, Wands-
worth-road.
It appeared that the prisoner was in the prosecutor's
service about two months, and almost from the first day
he commenced robbing him. The prosecutor took the
prisoner without a character, and when he had only beer;
a week out of prison, to which be had been committen
for six months for breaking into a dwelling-house.
Three distinct cases of embezzlement were profs"
against the prisoner, who was committed to take his
trial at the present sessions of the Central Criminal Court.

SO to 50 per Cent. Saved !

TO be had at the Patentees. 60, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-eross.
The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following Facts,
1111 e advantages resulting from the invention are various and
ZLriking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com-
)T,lVon is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light
ip,dorto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and bums
444tilily for any period; and such is its purity, that it neither affects
soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have
7._irtinegto the introduction ofas in dwllin:-houses, to the expense of
, to its destruction off urniture,e draperies, gold moulding, Ice. ;
ess are entirely obviated by the " PATENT 'UNIVERSAL GAS
11294E1t. As the cost of laying on gas is muck lower than is cam-
csilY supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for
.o-ho hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the
Lrnall 'Primers is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum
,:"I,cra.surably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of
asie or trouble.
ere other
merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing
l"Jr other known light, aro shown by the annexed authentic
,tract
of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER.
fAtract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers,
Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, Sir Jonri RENNIE, President, in the Chair.
A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited.
LThe Principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the
.titre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner.
The
air passing up through the hollow stein of the button, was
"eat ed , and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery,
and impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards
the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with
t,
thrburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion,
Lim flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady,
,7 was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution,
where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption
of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying
the Power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a
.eetter light, with a saving of rather more than one-third."
