with being concerned in the daring robbery of gold
bullion on the South-Eastern Railway in May, 1855,
were again placed at the bar before the Lord Mayor for
further examination.
His Lordship, in order that no delay might arise in
proceeding with the ease, sat half an hour earlier than
usual for the disposal of the ordinary night charges.
Since the last examination a brass wire fence or screen
has been erected at the back of the dock between where
a prisoner stands and the public, which prevents any
communication with the prisoner without being instantly
detected. .On the last occasion a serious charge was made
against a man named buckombe, livery-stable keeper,
of-Lower Mitcham. It was stated by a witness, but
denied by Duckoinbe, that Pierce said to him—" Make
'way with thetn—destroy them," which it was
su;:posed referred to something connected with
the charge. The public interest appears to increase
as the case proceed•, and, as on the three former occa-
sions, a large crowd of persons congregated around the
Mansion-house.
Tester, late a cle!k in the superintendent's office,
implicated in this affair, is not yet in custody. It will
be recollected that he left the company's service some
mouths since, and is at present engaged on one of the
Swedish railways. Sergeant Thornton, and another
detective officer who has charge of the case, left this
country on Friday last and proceeded to Sweden, but
it is feared that, as no treaty of extradition exists
between the two countries, that some difficulty and
delay will arise in apprehending him. Saward, alias
the "barrister," continues to elude the vigilance of the
police.

Mr. Bodkin, itistru3ted by Mr. Rees, appeared for the
prosecution ; Mr. Wontner for Pierce ; and Mr. Lewis,
Ely-place, for Burgers,
Several of the directors and officials of the South-
Eastern Railway Company were present during the

examination. A
At half-past one o'clock, the prisoners were placed at
the bar.
Mr. Bodkin said that the prosecution had ascertained
that for certain Tester would be in custody and placed
at the bar on the next examination. On a former occa-
sion he suggested that this should be only a formal exa-
mination, because he believed it would be a saving of
much valuable time, but the advisers of the prisoners
objected to it, and he thought it advisable to fall
in with their views. He was now prepared to go on
with the case, and should call evidence to trace the Bank
of England notes, and also certain articles found in
Pierce's houne.

The Lord Mayor said he thought that, after the state-
ment made by Mr. Bodkin with reference to Tester,
that it would be much better to further remand the pri-
soners till next Monday; or, if they went on to-day, not
to take evidence to affect Tester, because, when he was
in custody, it would have to be gone all over again.

Mr. Bodkin said it would be impracticable to take tl

evidence as suggested.

Mr. Wontner said that he should have no objection
to a remand, provided Mr. Bodkin could assure him
that Tester would be in custody by tho next examina-
tion.

Mr. Bodkin said it was impossible for him to give
such a promise.

Mr. Lewis asked if Tester was now in custody in
Sweden?

Mr. Bodkin—No.
Mr. Lewis—Then we shall gain nothing by the ad.
jonrnment.

Mr. Bodkin--The government of Sweden has inter-
fered in the matter to a certain extent, and we have the
strongest grounds for believing that Tester is in custody.
Mr. Lewis aked how the Swedish government had
interfered or could interfere in the matter

Mr. Bodkin—They could interfere, either by appre-
hending him, or by preventing his leaving their juris-
diction.

IL WM ultimately arranged that the further examina-
tion of the prisoner 3 should be adjourned.
Mr. Lewis complainei that Burgess had not sufficient
exercise in the gaol, and that his health suffored in con-
sequence.

The Lord Mayor said the prisoners should have every
facility given them for exercise that the accommodation
of the gaol afforded.
Mr. Bodkin the-i called the following formal evidence.
Mr. C. Bessell, who prove) that his wife died on the
18th of May, when he resided at Shepherd's-bush.
(This evidence was given to confirm the statement of
Agar, Fanny Kay, and the servant girl, relative to what
occurred about that time.)

Mr. P. Long, No. 5, Crown-terrace, Haverstock-hill,
said Pierce lived with him. He took the lodgings on
Dec. 18th, 1854, and remained there until the 18th of
June, 1855. Witness received rent from him, and from'
his appearance he believed him to be in very prosperous
circamstances. He paid witness very well, generally by
instalments. Ho paid about 131. altogether. Oa the
21st of May he owed 31. 10s., which ho afterwards paid,
and cleared up everything befcre he left.
Mr. John Carter, of 14, Upper James'-street, Camden-
town, said he was a beer retailer. The prisoner Pierce
rented a house of him, No. 3, Crown-terrace, and entered
into possession on 4th of June, 1855. His engagement
was from the 18th June, but he entered it before. He
remained there about 12 months. The prisoner Pierce
was the person of whom he spoke. He then wore his
hair much shorter than now.

Mr. John Charles Rees, the solicitor to the prosecu-
tion, deposed that, in consequence of information that
he had received, he proceeded on 22d of September last
to No. 3, Cambridge-villas. There were two storeys to
the house, and he described the number of the rooms
and the general appearance of the house, particu-
larly that of the wash-house in the garden, and which
agreed with that of former witnesses. He examined the
fire-place in the front room of the first floor. He had it
taken out and discovered three fire-bricks, and between
them a piece of iron was found. The chimneys were also
examined. They were perfectly white and calcined-
The flooring boards in front of the fire-place were exa
mined, and found to be burnt in various places. They
were such marks its meal in a fluid state were likely to
produce. On the next day the boards were taken up,
and beneath them he discovered a quantity of small
particles of gold, which witness produce& The par-
ticles corresponded in size with the cracks in the floor.
He had not had them tested.

Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—There was no
mortar in the chimney, and the bricks seemed to have
been calcined. That might be a curious description of
chimney, but he did not know. He was a judge of gold
but not of chimneys

By Mr. Lewis—He had found such a hole on the
premises
last Good Friday, to be examined about the rob-
bery. He did not tell him it would be bet-
ter for him if he would disclose all he
knew about the robbery. He fixed on that day
as being a quiet one. He did not mention to
him to the best of his belief the Secretary of State's
name, and that he might obtain a pardon. He certainly
did not use the Secretary of State's name in the seese
conveyed by Mr. Lewis's questions. Nothing was said
that if he would make a disclosure of the robbery he
should go free. The general effect of his answers was
that " he knew nothing and bad nothing to disclose."
Witness did not reply to him, " You had better tell me
and I will apply to the Secretary of State." ' Witness
took down some of the prisoner,s statements, but lad
not got it with him; ho doubted if he had that exami-
nation by him now.
By Mr. Bodkin—At that time he bad bad no commu-
nication with Agar. He examined others as well as Bur-
gess. He found no gold in Pierce's house, but ho found
a hole there, as described by Agar, where the gold was
deposited. The hole bad been recently filled up with
dust, amongst which, was some green fresh-looking
loaves.

Mr. Rees—Yee.
The prisoner was desired id remain silent.
Burgess—l can stand here ae;l hear many things but
this Is too much. It was when Hall one of the supposed
receivers of the goki).was in custody.
Mr. Rees—Yes.
By Mr. Bodkin—Burgess persisted in saying he knew
nothing about it.
Bmma May, of 18, London-street, Greenwich, domes-
tic servant to Mr% Olding, said, she formerly lived A't the
Marquis of Granby public-house, New-cross. Ohe,
identified the prisoners, described two others, supposes
to be Tester and Agar, as using the house about the
time of the robbery. They used to go into the bar
parlour. She had seen them there many times. When
the parlour was full they went into the next room. They
used to come about 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening.
Sometimes they came between 11 and 12 in the morn-
ing. She saw them there a short time before the left
(two years come February next).
By Mr. Wontner—The room they used when the
bar parlour was full was a public one.
By Mr. Lewis—The Marquis of Granby was near
Burgess's residence.
He frequently used to be alone.
He used to mix with the public generally.
By Mr. Bodkin—When he came alone he used t 6 say,
" Emma, are my friends come ?" She replied, if they
were there, "Yes," and be joined Pierce and the other
two.

•Mr. Bodkin slid that that was all the evidence he
proposed then to give.
The prisoners were then remanded till Wednesday
(to•morrow) week.

POLICE INTELLIGENCL'.—(This Day.)

SOUTHWARK.
IMPUDENT ROBBERY or A WATCH.—JuIia Neal, a
young fellow described as a hawker, was brought before
Mr. Burcham, charged with stealing a watch and chain,
value five guineas, the property of Sarah Dennis, under
the following, circumstances
The prosecutrix stated that she lived with her husband
in Foxall-street, Bermondsey, and she knew the pri-
soner as coming to see his grandmother, who also resided
in the same house. On Tuesday last, the 25th ultimo,
about six o'clock in the evening, he came and asked for
his grandmother. Witness told him she was out, when
he said he had got some shirts!to make, and would bring
them to her in the course of the evening. Na caine and
sat near the fire, and witness hal occasion to go back•
wards and fetch scene coal. While there she heard the
prisoner cull out that he would go and fetch the shirts,
• and that he would soon return, at the same time he left
the house. On her return to her room she missed
her watch and chain, which she had left a minute or two
previously on the mantelpiece. She immediately went
in pursuit of him, and could not find him. She then
gave information to the police, but nothing could be
seen or heard of him until last night, when a constable
took him into custody in the Borough.
The prisoner here said that there was another female
in the room when he left, and she must have seen if he
stoic the watch and chain.
Mr Burcham asked the prosecutrix if such was the
fact ?

She replied that there was a young woman in the
room, but she was not near the tire.
Mr. Burcham said it appeared to him to be a very
impudent robbery, and be should remand the prisoner
until Friday, for the other young woman's attendance,
and to enable the police to make further inquiries about
him.
