11-lArri3N-G,lancs.—Yestfrday the fcur rersrait,
who are charged with tie murder of Parni,hlir. in
Cernpton7street, a short time since,
.underwent
final examination, in the course of which, Sini:h nt-
fering to confess the whole business, the Magistrates
accented his offer, and he was admitted an c;idencz
for the Crown.

The following is the detail of his evidence : That
he had only been paid from the Lyon, 71 few
days before he became acquainted with the Prisoner
Briscoe, which acquaintance took place in encase-
(pence of both their mothers living in the same court.
On the day the murder was committed, he met Bris-
coe at some public gardens, where he, at Briscoe's
request; lent a man in company with them a shilling
shortly after which Briscoe and himself were on
their return home, when Briscoe said, "the fellow has
stolen my knife," and immediately feeling in his
pocket, he pulled one our, and opened it saying,
" no ; he has not," and that the knile he then pul-
led from his pocket, had a blade Neu like the one
found upon the prisoner Baker, and now produced.
In the evening he met Briscoe, his wife, and his
wife's sister, wiith the prisoners Denham and Baker;
at the Harrow public-house, in Compton-street,
where they weredrinking,&c. In the course of the
evening the women went twice out to buy some
fruit ; the last time they went out, he, the Witness,
had occasion to go to the door, and when there, saw
Mrs. Briscoe and her sister 'peaking 'to two men,
and heard. one of them say, in answer to some very
indecent expressions made use of by the men, "eve are
notyour sort." Some further cony ersation passed, when
one' of the women said, " I'll go and fetch Jen)
and directly afterwards Briscoe and the two other
Prisoners rushed out of the house together ; at which
time Briscoe had an open knife in his hand, and •
Denham took an instrument out of his coat pocket,
which appeased to the Witness to be something like
a razor or lance : -Briscoe, Denham, and Baker
diredly attacked the two men, 'and he saw Den-
ham and Briscoe both stab them in the side with the•
knives they held in their hands. After they were
Separated from the men, they all returned into the
public-house, when he saw Brieeoe give his knife to
Baker. The knife was produced, and die Witness
said it had a blade resembling the one Briscoe had,
which was found upon Baker when he was first 'ap-
prehended, and on being fitted to the Waistcoat,
corresponded epaly with the opening made in it,
and to the wound of which the deceased died.

Shivenen, the man who was in company with the
deceased, and who was also severely wounded by a
stab and a cut from some sharp instrument, which he
supposed tobe a knife, swore positively to the per-
sons of Denham and Smith, both of whom he sal'
attack the deceased and himself, and give Several
blows ; but whether with a knife or not, he was
not prepared to say.

A confession, which a man of the name of Hurst
had, a *day or two after the murder, heard made by
the prisoner Briscoe, which he, Hurst, has stated Up-
on oath, teas read, and in every. respect it corrobo-
rates the evidence of Smith, and a ariety of otnet
circumstantial matter, which ifas before been given.
Upon the whole of the evidence, they were fully
committed for trial.
