TEE PEPRPSENTATION OF

SOUTHA M PT ON.

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY EVENING.
A second address to the electors has to-day been issued
by Mr. Edwin James, in which the hon. gentleman
says

"The meeting of Wednesday last having been ad-
journed, in order that Mr. Weguelin might have the
same opportunity of expressing his political sentiments
which yon kindly afforded me, I thought it fair, pond-
that adjournment, to suspend my canvass.
" I trust that the electors will appreniate my motives
and approve of the course I have adopted.
" After Tuesday evening I shall have the honour of
paying my personal respects to every elector."

Placards have been issued convening a meeting of the
-lectors of St. Mary's this evening at the American
EL.tel, to consider the respective claims of the three can-
ti lates—Mr. James, Mr. Weguelin, and Sir Edward
Butler. The parish of St. Mary occupies more than
alt of the town, and comprises within its boundaries
-.in immense number of the working men employed in the
docks, the various steam companies, and other large
is centredmanufacturing and commercial establishments.
But the m'imdiate interest of the whole constituency
isßidi
both Mr.
in the adjourned meeting to be held at the
ng.,ch 01 to-morrow evening at 7 o'clock, at which
I. pr raises to be the greatest and most exciting assem.
Weguelin and Mr. James are to be present.
i'laqe ever held in this most excitable borough.
Sir Edward Butler has again been canvassing all day,
tom
rvn boenlisevaetutrty the,v)teg
hnite.other candidates returned
tae "Anti-Poor Law Board League," 0 London,
have addressed the elector:7, calling their attention to
" the importance of requiring from all candidates an
explicit declaration of opinion as to the unconstitutional
authority of the Poor Law Board in affairs relating to
the poor, and of supporting those only who pledge
themselves to oppose in Parliament the continuance of
its despotic power."
At no election in this borough for the past 2 years
have ouch strong arid powerful feelings been evoked
as on this occasion. Liberal sentiments are so over-
powering in Southampton that but for the unfortunate
split which at present divides the Liberal party into sec-
tions a Conservative candidate would not have the
smallest possible chance of success.

The further examination of the prisoners, William
Pierce and Jams Purgess, charged with the gold bul-
lion robbery on the South-Eastern Railway Company,
in Mey, 1855, was resumed yesterday morning before the
Lerd Mayor. The publication of the evidence of Agar,
detailing the adroit and daring manner in which this
robbery was effected, has much increased the curiosity of
the public in respect to him and the parties implicated,
and a more numerous crowd of persons than on either
of the former examinations assembled in Mansion-houee•
street several hours previous to the commencement of
the business, eager to gain admission to the court. A
Tumour was in circulation early in the morning that
Seward, alias the "barrister," was in custody, and
would he placed at the bar with Burgess and Pierce,
which probably tended to increase the number of
persons assembled in front of the Mansion-house.
The same admirable arrangements for the accommo
dation of the representatives of the press were made by
the Lord Mayor, assisted by Mr. Goodman, the chief
clerk, and Mr. Sewell, as on the two former examina-
tions, Precautions were taken to prevent the court from
being overcrowded.
Twenty-five witnesses were summoned to give evi-
dence to-day ; and in order to prevent confusion or de-
lay in their attendance, they were provided with printed
cards, stsvir3g they were witnesses in the case, signed by
Mr. Rees, solicitor to the company.
Mr. Bodkin, instructed by Mr. J. C. Reesi solicitor
to the South-Eastern Railway Company, again appeared
to prosecute. Mr. Wontner defended Pierce, and Mr.
Lewis, of Ely-place, defended Burgess.
Alderman Sir R. W. Carden, Alderman Salomon%
and Alderman Carter were on the bench during the
exarainatioreof the prisoners. Mr. Tuolon, Mr, Coles
Child, and other directors of the line, with Mr. Abel, to
whom some of the stolen gold belonged, were also pre-
sent, and accemrnodated with seats on the bench.
At half-past 10 o'clock the prisoners Burgess and
Pierce were placed at the bar. They were both as cool
and collected in their demeanour as on the previous
ocea,ions, though they looked somewhat paler. Bur-
gess still retains his dress as a guard of the South-
Eastern Rail way. Pierce anxiously looked round the
court, and both prisoners evidently appeared surprised
after what was said at the last examination that Seward
and Tester were not placed in the dock beside them.
Mr. Bodkin said he intended, to-day, first, to com-
plete the case as regarded Pierce's house, and if there

was time then to go to another branch of the case. It
would be necessary for him to ask by and bye for a
further remand of the prisoners.
Charlotte Painter was the first called—She deposed
that she was 15 years of age, and resided at 15, South-
ampton-street, Vauxhall. She lived with two persons
named Adams, in Horleyford-street, and bad to nurse a
child. She was there by day and went home to sleep at
night. She had seen the prisoner Pierce, at Adams's
house iu Harleyford-street, and he went by the name
of Peckham. Mr. and Mrs. Adams removed from
Harleyford-road to Cambridge Villa, Shepherd's-bush,
but at what time she could not say. Pierce assisted
Adams to move his furniture. Soon after that she
left Agar's serviee ; it was jest before Christmas, 1854.
She spent her Christmas with her parents, and after
that Agar called on her parents, and she was taken by
him by cab and 'buss to Cambridge-villa. She slept there
then, and took care of the child. She was mostly out
by day with the child. She recognised Fanny Kay as
Mrs. Adams. Pierce continued to visit Agar at Cam-
bridge Villa whilst she remained in Agar's service the
second time, about the 18th May, 1855. He then came
more frequently than at the Harleyford-road. His visits
were sometimes at meal times, and others not.
She bad known him to be there the best part
of the day. Agar was sometimes at home
when be came and sometimes not. When Agar was at
home Pierce and he used to go to the wash-house, but
she did not know what they did there. On one or two
occasions she heard hammerin and knoekines ss—
occa‘ion she went to the wash-house to fetch an article,
hut Agar refused her admission, saying she could not
come in. She saw two boxes in the wash-house about
that time. One was a green coloured one, which she thought
she would know again if she saw it. She went into
the wash-house for anything she wanted when the men
were there. She had moved the boxes to sweep tinder
them, and from that she found the white one was heavy.
Whop Pierce and Agar were at work in the wash-house
a vice was fixed on a piece of board against the window.
She found it fixed when she went there, and it remained
when she left. Once she saw a leather courier bag in
the house. It was brought into the back parlour by
Agar. She never saw any other bag then but that.
Agar and Pierce went out together with the bag on one
occasion towards evening, but she could not say when
it was. She used to sleep in the first floor back room,
which had a common small stove in it No fire was
lit there to her knowledge. She used to retire at vari-
ous hour'', sometimes as early as eight o'clock. Pierce
had always left before she went to bed.
Examin. d by Mr. Woirtner—She could not re
member the date when she left Agar's. The
child had gone to nurse before she left. She was cer-
tain Mrs. Bessill, who resided next door, died before she
left Agar's. She left a few days after that. The can-
vas bag was drab colour. Agar and Pierce brought
the bag into the back parlour whilst she was having
her tea She had great difficulty in moving the
boxes in the wa-hhouse. She had to push them along.
Both boxes had been there as long as she
lived at Shepherd's-bush. The sashhouse was kept un-
locked, and she could go there when she liked.
Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Her mistress was at
home when Agar brought home the bag. He put it on
a chair behind the door. She believed Agar carried the
bag out openly later in the evening. She did not see
him go out of the street door. She did not recollect if
he wore a great coat or cloak. She believed Agar re-
turned after she was in bed. She had never since
seen the bag. She was first asked about her evidence
about a month since. She first male a statement to

of the robbery. If she had not read them she should not
have recollected it.

Mary Ann Wilde deposed that she resided with Mrs.
Bessill at the time of her death at Cambridge-villas. She
left a few weeks after. Whilst she lived there she knew
Mr. awl Mrs. Adams. Witness used to sleep in the back
bedroom, and could see from it into Mrs. Adams' wash-
house. She bad seen Agar go into the wash house on
several occasions. She once saw him go in in company
with another man whom she could not now identify.
She saw nothing carried into the wasbhouse. There
was a garden behind her master's house, and from that
she could see the balck bedroom-window of Agar's house.
There was a white blind to the window, which was
there when she first went to Cambridge-villas. Her
master on one occasion borrowed a hammer of Agar.
Witness fetched it. It was a heavy hammer, and was
afterwards returned by Mr. Bessill. Her attention was
attracted by hammering in the wash-house when Agar
was there, but she could not recollect if Pierce was there
then.

Cross examined by Mr. Wontner —The last witness
left Agar's service before Mrs. Bessill died.
Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Her master was in
the habit of hammering once or twice a week, and made
a great noise.

Be-examined by Mr. Badkin—She did not see Pain-
ter leave. She teought it was before her mistress died.

Pierce visited them in the name of Peckham. He came
there very frequently. Pierce assisted in packing ham-
pers when Agar left. Pierce stayed there sometimes
half a day, and sometimes not so long. She did not see
Pierce or Agar ever use tools.
Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—Agar came to her
lodgings a week before Christmas, 1854.
Wm. Ellis Wood deposed he was a cabman, residing
s.t, 7, Hawley-mews, Hawley.road, Caden-towe, No 01G. In the spring of 1855 be was m
Out with one of
hie cabs, near Chalk-farm, about 7 o'clock in the evenine%
As be was driving along, lookin4 for a fare, he was
bailed by a man, and drove to the corner of Prince of
Wales'-read, Haverstock-hill. He could not say if the
man walked or rode there. Crown-terrace is about 200
yards from the corner. When be got to the corner he
waited there a quarter of au hour. The man went to-
wards Crown-terrace, and returned with another roan.
They had two or three carpet bags. One was a little
square leather bag, with something like a dressing case
in it. They got in and ordered me to drive to London
bridge Station. He did so, and drew up at the Bridge
Hotel. The shortest man of the two got out and went
towards the station. The other man remained in the
cab, and ordered him to drive to St. Thomas's-streets Re

did so, and was ordered to pu up near Guy's Hospital.
The one that got out had on o cloak er a mantle. He
heard them shuffitng about iu to cab before he pulled up,
as if they were about to get or. The short man did net
take a bag out with him, but)e had no cloak on when
he took him up first. After retaining in Thoinas'--stri.iet
about half-an-hour the man reurned from Tooley-street
through thearches. Hegotin spoke to the other man,
and then got out again, and 9.s absent a quarter of an
hour. He did not hear what the said. On his return he was
ordered to drive them back, ad to go down the Prince
of Wales-road, round by Metier Shipton. He did so,
and got within 200 yards of ;rows-terrace. They got
out with their luggage, paid lyn, and left. He did not
notice their luggage then. Che same men hired him
again. It was two or three dye after, and they then
took him from the rank at Calhfarm. He was hired
by the Caine short man, and abut the same hour (seven
o'clock) in the eveeit:g. He drcre to the corner of Prince
of Wales-roadas before,wheu tL man who hired him lefr,
and returned with another ma; and luegaro comprising
two carpet bags and a leather bag. One had a brown
frock coat on, and the other IA dark clothes on. They
each had cloaks on their arms, le drove to S. Thomas's
Hospital. The short man got tot, and was absent about
half-an-hour, the other rernainiig in the cab. He went
towards the station. On his rourn he got into the cab.
One got out and went away, aid he drove the other to
Prince of Wales-road, Haversock-hill. He was hired
once or twice after in the saint way and by the same
men. He took them to St. Thames-street, and the same
ceremony was performed, and hi drove them back again
as before. On one occasion he lifted one of the carpet
bags, which appeared heavy. It took place either in
April or May, but he would no; swear which. ft was
always dusky when he returned. The short man was ef
light complexion and light whilters, and looked like a
servant out of place. He was admit 5 feet 5 inches or
5 feet 6 inches in height, and aeout 28 or 30 years of
age. He thought he should know him again if he saw
him. He wore a brown frock cow, heahought, on every
occasion. He coald not identifiSr the-tall man. He Was
a tall, spare man. As soon as he came to the cab he got
in, and he had no opportunity of seeing much of him.
He was generally dressed in a black coat, with
a- cloak on - his arra. He would not swear
to either of them. He 6ought the tall man was the
master, and the short one his servant, as he always
hired the cab.
Joseph Carter deposed—He was a cabman, residing
at 22, Baker-street, Camden-town, No. 4,477. He
recollected being on the rank with his cab about 16 or
17 months ago, when be was hired by two men ; the
prisoner Pierce is one of them, and Agar, who was
here last Monday, was the other. They had two carpet
bags—if not three, with them—each man carrying one.
Re did not notice their dress. They put the bags into
the cab and got in. The bags were heavy. He drove
them by their direction to St. Thomas-street, in the
Borough, and pulled up at the bottom of the bill past
the two hospitals. On the cab stopping Agar got out,
and turned round at the left towards the railway arch,
leaving the other man and the bags in the cab. Aear
returned in about half-an hour, and said to Pierce, "It
wasn't going down to-night," He then got into the
cab, and witness drove them to Mother Shipton, on
Haverstock-hill. They got out and discharged him.
They took the bags into the public-house, and witness
pulled over the other side of the road, and on looking
round he saw one of them carrying both bags. He
did not notice how the men were dressed that night.
Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—He had not read

any account of this robbery in the newspapers. He did
not hear Agar give his e'idence, or any part of it. He
,aw Agsr in the Court for a few minutes on the Jut
examiLation. He was hired about 5 A'clock, but he
would not be positive as to the time. He could not re•
collect a fare he had before this on that night or the one
after, nor any that he drove for the week. This was the
only one be could recollect for the week. He cud tell
by a man's actions if a bag he was carrying was heavy
or not. He would not swear if the bags were made of
carpet or leather. He knew Pierce's face well, because
he hal seen him several times in Camden-town.
Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—He had never had any
of the circumstances of the robbery read to him. The
first application he had was from the waterman on Friday
week. He had never been in this court before.
Mr. Lewis—Were you ever in any court before ?
Witness— Yes, once at Marylebone for being " intes-
ticated"—(laughter)—and he got off.
Witness was cross•exaroined by Mr. Lewis as to his
noticing the men when they hired him, and the dress
they wore, and he excused himself for not being able to
answer hisbquestions by saying that when a man was
called off the ranks and had t ) twist about with a
" spirited horse," he had to be on the look out and take
care of " hisself." (Laughter)

Mr. James Clements deposed that he resided at No. 3,
Stanmore place, Gr.,ve-otreet, Camden-town. Last
year he kept a coffee-house adjoining the Southampton
Arms. He left in July, 1855. Ho recollected that
threeahn it i mcicla hanra he loft tcr,, -- --
to hishouse with carpet bags. It was about seven
o'clock in the evening, and to the best of his recollection
he had never seen them before. They remained about
an hour or an hour and a half. Tan minutes or a quar-
ter of an hour after they came in one left, and the other
remained an hour or so. They had some refreshment 4
then. Witness put a question to the man that remained
about his friend being so long absent, and received an
answer. On the return of the other man they took the
bags and left. Ile could not recollect if they came to

other had dark hair. [Agar is a fair complexioned man,

left with the bags.

John Honour deposed he was a hairdresser, residing
in Lambeth-walk, near the Walnut tree-walk. He had
known Pierce for four or five years, and when he lived
at Walnut-tree walk he ofte❑ came to his chop. Wit-
ness dressed a dark, very near a black, wig for him.
He said he wanted it for a friend Of his, an elderly gen-
tleman. Pierce left Walnut-tree-walk about two years
since, and the wig was dressed for him shortly before
that.

This witness was not cross-examined. •
John Alday, a lad, deposed that he resided at No. 2,
Newbury.mews, in the neighbourhood of Haverstock-
hill, and near Crown-terrace. He remembered Wing
a double handful of shot in Princess-place, by the side
cf the kerb of the pavement; there were some other
boys with me and they had some also; the shot was strewed
all along Princess-place. A person walking from Crown-
terrace to Kentish-town would walk along Princess.

found the shot a good while after tha'.

Mr. W. S. Sterne, of the White Hart, Thomas-street,
deposed that he ki ew Pierce perfectly ; he ales knew
Burgess, and a man who calls himself Agar. He never
knew him by name. He had known Burgess nine years,
Pierce seven or eight, and he had seen Agar three or
four times within a very short period, in his house, with
the other two, previous and up to the time of the bullion
robbery. Pierce and Burgess frequented his house.
He could not say if he saw Agar there previous to the
robbery. He had seen Burgess and Pierce at his house
at all hours of the day. Agar came there generally
about 7 o'clock in the evening. On 17th February last
he received a parcel from Sarah Thompson, who was
then his barmaid. In consequence of what she said to
him he put the parcel in his cash box and there kept
On the following night, or the night after, Burgess asked
him it he had a parcel
for him. Witness renlied he had,
and handed to him in bis bar parlour the parcel he had
received from the barmaid. He opened it in witness's
presence, and it was found to contain bank notes, There
were several, and they appeared to be valuable ones.
His impression at the time was that they were more
valuable than 51. notes, and he asked bins why he had
not previously made him accpiainted with the value of
the parcel. He replied he did not because he felt per.
fectly satisfied it was safe in his hands. He then asked
witness to take care of it ; it was the savings
of years, and he wished witness to invest it for
him. Witness said he should be glad to serve
him, because ho had always had a good opinion
of him. Witness suggested his opening a banking ac•
count, and depositing it there ; and as a friend of his had
a banking account he would introduce him. Burgess
declined, saying he knew nothing money matters, and
would be satisfied by his (witness 'f o-
s) taking charge of it.
It occurred to witness to take the money to Messrs.
Reid and Co., his brewers, who would allow 5 per cent.
on all moneys deposited with them, and ho mentioned it
to Burgess. He appeared satisfied, and on the following
morning witness deposited the money, 500/. He told
Messrs. Reid that the money belonged to a friend of
his. It was al! in Bank of England notes. He gave
Burgess the book he had received at Messrs. Reid's.
Witness receive • d the interest on the money, and handed
it over to Burgess.

Burgess never said to him that he had been fortunate in

the part of Burgess—not the slightest.

Sarah Thompson depo-ed she was barmaid to the last
witness in February last. . She handed to Mr. Sterne a
parcel she received from Richard Lee ; was a-ldressed,
as near as she could recollect, to Mr. Burgess. She give
it to Mr. Sterne in the same state as she received it. She
was not present when the parcel was given to Burgess.
She [minded on one occa-iion to Burgess St. Os. id. inte-
rest. Mr. Sterne had received from Messrs. Reid and Co.
Mr. Bodkin said his next course would be to trace
these notes, bat at that late hour he thought it
was not advisable to enter on that part of the
case, and therefore he proposed an adjournment,
and a further remand of the prisoners. A circumstance,
however, occurred at the last examination which might
lead to defeating the ends of justice, and he
therefore thought it right to mention it. During
the interval of Evijournment on the last occa-
sion an opportunity was watched by a man
in court to communicate with the prisoner Pierce. What
that man said to Pierco he coulct not prove ; but he
should call a man who hoard Pierce's answer, and that
ho proposed to make evide, ce in the case.
The Lord Mayor asked who had the prisoners in charge
at the time.

Partridge, one of the gaolers, said they were in the
custody of Mundy, the other gaoler.
Mr. Bodkin then called

James Porter, who deposed that ho was the husband
of sirs. P,.rter, already examined. He was in court on
the last examination of the prisoner. During the ad-
journment, on the former occasion he saw a man now
in court speak to Pierce. What he said he did not hear,
but he dis' inctly heard Pierce say in reply " Make away
with them—destroy them." The man shortly after left
the court.

A stout, big man, with a ruddy complexion, was then
ordered to stand forward, and he was identified by
Porter as the man. In repty to questions from the Lord
Mayor and Mr. Bodkin, he said that his name was
Robert Dackombe, and that he was a stable-keeper,
residing at Lower Mitcham. He denied that he had
any communication with Pierce, as alleged. He said
that he knew Pierce, having on one occasion bought a
horse of him. He' also denied leaving the Court till 5
o'clock, at the end of the day's proceedings.
From inquiries made by the Lord Mayor, it appeared
that the detectives who had charge of the prisoners were
unavoidably absent from the court at the time that they
were left in the charge of the two gaolers, whose.

duties were divided —on that occ,;.;ion in con
sequence of Alderman Wire sitting in another part o
the Mansion }louse fur the disposal of the ordinary night
charges.

Inspector Mitchell, who at this period came into court,
said he had distinct recollection of seeing Dackombe
lean over the board at the back of the prisoner, and
communicate with Pierce. He leant forward, but coul
not hear what he said. It was just, before five o'clock.
After some remarks from the Lord Mayor, who said
that police officers in charge of prisoners ought not to
leave them during the time they were under
examination, and that he would take mea-
sures to prevent the public from communicating in
future with prisoners in the dock,
Mr. Bodkin said be had thought it right to mention
the matter, leaving it to the Lord Mayor to deal with
Dackornbe as he thought best.
Dackornbe denied that he came to the Court other
than from curiosity, like many others.
The subj- ct then dropped.
Mr. Bodkin then applied for a formal remand of the
prisoners to Monday next, and that then they should be
further remanded for a week. Such a course, he
thought, would save time, for by that time no doubt
Teeter would be in custody.

That course was resisted by Mr. Wontner and Mr.
Lewis, and ultimately the prisoners were remanded
till Tuesday next, when evidence will be proceeded with,
and the bank notes traced.
