" Oh, I'll go." He was afterwards conveyed to
the station-house. Chaplin was then taken to his own

the &pot, but about an hour before I saw Chaplin the
appeared to he singing and amusing themseiees;
but, nevertheless, they made a great noise. The house
th N'•49, is a lodging-house, and I believe some twelve or
thirteen men ledge there. The prisoners, I have since
ke4td, had been working at the gas-works. I was
noeked down immediately after I struck Cane, and
o,then lost sight of the prisoners; but some minutes be-

Pin must have received blows while I was present.

‘l:r do I know such a person. Two men named Burke
!Pe taken into custody, and I was called upon to iden-
j,'Y them, but I was unable to do so. A man named

89 Mr. WOOLLETT—The men had been drinking, but
aeY were not drunk. I had never seen M'Elltott be-
're this occasion.
Re-examined—At the time I struck Cane the deceased

had struck him. No
"tiek-bats were thrown before that occurrence, nor had
1n been thrown before I struck Cane on the head.
William Lowney, examined by Mr. RYLAND—I am a
Nice-constable, and between one and two o'clock on the
morning of the sth of May I was on duty in Glasshouse-
'treet, Vauxhall. I heard the springing of a rattle, the
"tied of which appeared to come from the Broad-street
'lid of Vauxhall-wbarf, and I went in that direction.
When I had got to No. 49, Vauxhall-wharf, I met the
threen prisoners and another man, who is not in custody.

went into No. 43, and Hickey into 49. The other
Pa ran on, and I went on to the spot where I found the
!ceased lying on the ground bleeding. He appeared
`0 be quite unconscious, and I assisted in conveying him
to the Queen's Head. I afterwards went with the other
constables and arrested Hickey and Cane at No. 49.
iliekey had blood on his face and hands, and when asked
0W it came there, he said his nose had been bleeding.
„,
blood was on his forehead trickling down his cheek.

lit the door. Both, however, were secured and taken to
R2O station. W hen Hickey got there he took
handkerchief off his neck and gave it to me. I told him
!Qat he had better wear it, but he said no, ho did not want
He was drunk, but he could both walk and talk.
Cross-examined by Mr. PARNELL—I had known them
1 Lame before, but my impression is I had seen them
together at the White Lion public-house, Vauxball, a
'eve nights previous.
Thomas Streames, another police-constable, gave cor-
toborative evidence.
, Robert Sharp, the landlord of the White Lion public-
!ouse in Vauxhall, deposed that the prisoners Cane and
Mickey were at his house from nine o'clock on Sunday
evening the 4th ult. until half-past twelve on the morning
of the sth of May. They were quite sober when they left.
Cross-examined—Hickey was not dressed as he is
110 w, but wore a hat, with cord trolisers and cord coat.
4 man named Gluey wes with the prisoner. He was
dressed in a black frock coat. Clarey before this oc-
currence was a frequent visitor to the White Lion, but
since then he had disappeared. The prisoners worked
%t the gas-works, and up to the time of being taken into
been out of work, and a meeting of his countrymen was
field at the White Lion to make a collection for him,
as he had been a long time out of work. There were
as many as forty men and about twenty women pre-
seet, but the prisoners being the last in the house he
cad more opportunity of observing them.
Streamer was recalled, and stated that when Hickey
Was arrested he was dressed the same as he was then.
Michael Connor, who resides at 49, Vauxhall wharf,
Itaa also at the White Lion on the Sunday evening,
*here be saw the three prisoners. He left at a quarter
past twelve, and the prisoners remained behind.
Cross-examined—Hickey wore a dark cord jacket.
William Nichol, examined by Mr. RYLAND—I am a
DOlice•constable, and I arrested M'Elliott about half-
Past one, at the door of No. 49. On the way to the
station-house he asked me what I had taken him for. I
said when we got to the station-house the inspector
Would tell him. Ho replied that he knew nothing of the
murder, but I had said nothing to him about any
murder.
William Gough, another police-constable, stated that
%bout 9 o'clock on the morning of the sth, be went to
two gardens in Vauxhall-wharf, and found that some of
the stones in the surrounding wall were missing. Later
to the day he took some clinkers which he received from
Streames and examined them with the holes on the top
of the wall; they exactly fitted.
Streames, being recalled, said be found the clinkers
Oa the spot where the deceased fell, opposite Salamanca-
street. It was about an hour and a half after the de-
ceased was removed that he picked them up.
Mrs. Hans, tee wife of a policeman, residing at 101,
*Vauxhall-road, deposed that the clinkers produced were
similar to those that surrounded her husband's garden.
She saw the wall about half-past 10 on the Sunday, and
it was then complete. The next day, when she examined
the wall, some of the stones were gone and she found
foot marks, as if people had jumped over.
Mr. Theodore Edward Lad, a surgeon residing at
Walworth-place, Lambeth, examined by Mr. RYLAND—
I was called up to see the deceased at his own house. It
Was nearly three o'clock, and I found him nearly insen-
sible. His face was very much bruised, and on his right
eyebrow there was a lacerated wound. On the left side
of his head there was an extensive wound penetrating
to the bone, pressing on the brain. These wounds were
bleeding, and he was also bleeding from the nose and
ears. I ordered him to be taken to the hospital. I heard
afterwards of his death. The cause of death I should
imagine would be the fracture on the skull.
Mr. Watkins Reece, examined by Mr. CLARKE—I was
hospital surgeon to Guy's Hospital when the deceased
was brought there on the sth of May. He was quite in-
sensible' and died in about a quarter of an hour after-
wards. On a post-mortem examination it was found that
there were five lacerated contused wounds, varying in ex-
tent and size. The-blows must have been numerous. I
attribute the death to an extensive fracture on the left
aide of the skull. The stones produced would have in-
flicted the injuries.
This closed the evidence for the prosecution.
The case was procediez when nor report left.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
William Anderton, a cab-driver, was charged before
Mr. Jardine with the following robbery at the Clarence i
Hotel, Charing-cross. On Wednesday, the 11th nst.,
one of the porters of the hotel, William Phipps, saw the
prisoner come in from the street, and walk deliberately
behind the counter. In a fow moments afterwards
Phipps saw him go out again with a coat partly con-
cealed undkr his own; the witness knew that coat to be
ono belonging to himself. Ile followed the prisoner into
the street and gave him into custody.
He was fully committed for trial, and as several men,
apparently cab-drivers, bad annoyed Phipps in the streets
since the robbery, and threatened him in a savage
manner if he should not forego the prosecution,
Mr. JARDINE
.directed the police to give the prosecu-
tor every protection in
,their power, and to bring before
him any person whom I hippy should point out as having
molested him.

ST. PETER'S COLLEGIATE SCHOOL IN CONNEXION
WITH KING'S COLIISGE, LONDON. Yesterday the distribu-
tion of prizes took place at this highly patronised establish
ment, by the Rev. J. H. Hamilton, M.A., and the profi-
ciency of the scholars in every branch of learning gave strong
evidence of the superior system of tuition pursued by its
head masters, tLe Rev Dr. Wilson and the Rev. J.
Son,
M.A. The names. of the successful competitors we ere,

Vines. After the awards of merit, recitations were very
ably given by the pupils, in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French,
German, and English. The exhibition of the drawings, in
various styles, in water colours. crayon, and pencil, reflected
the highest credit on the pupils for their proficiency, and on
Mr. Varley, the master of this department, for the system of
tuition pursued. Altogether, we have seldom witnessed a
greater display of intelligence, alike gratifying to both the
masters and parents.
