him, and his lips quivered. His appearance excited my

curiosity. As he got near me he crossed the road and

passed close by me. I stepped cn one side and took my
hands out of my pockets, and then he stag-

gered , back. What I had seen induced me to commu-
nicate with the police at Robert-street, about 10 days before
he was taken into custody. I afterwards went to the House
of Detention, and on being shown the cells in which the
prisoners were confined, one in each, I found the prisoner
in one of them. lam certain he's the man I saw on the
morning I have referred to.

Mr. Wood said he did not wish to ask any questions.
By Mr. Selfe—lt was on Stepney-green I saw
It was at the end of Garden-street. I was going to the
East India Dock. The prisoner was coming up the Mile-
end-road. The prisoner would have to come round by the
Gas-house to get to the spot where I met him. Mullins
would have to go out of the direct road from Grove-road to
get to Where I met him. I have not been examined before
the Coroner.

Caroline Brimson—l live at 33, Barnsley-street, Bethnal-
green. I went to live there the day before Mrs. Emsley
was supposed to have been murdered. The prisoner lodged
in the same house. He occupied a back room on the ground
floor. There was no proper fastening to the front door, and
the lodgers came in and out as they liked. I saw him the
first time on the Wednesday night.
Sergeant Thomas,- 8 F, re-called—l entered the room
spoken to by the last witness. . I produce a key which I saw
in the honse of the deceased on the 18th of August. When.
I took the prisoner into custody, he had no key of his lodg-
ing upon him. I had authority to break open the door of
his room. I have tried the key I hold in my hand with. .
the prisoner's room door. It both locks and unlocks it. I
also produce a spoon whisk I found at the prisoner's lodg-
ings at Chelsea. It corresponds with one I found in the
parcel found at Emms'. It bears the same stamp, and also
is marked by the initial of the maker " W. P."
By Mr. Selfe—l found the key I have spoken of in de-
ceased's bedroom.
Elizabeth Fuke—l reside at 17f, James's-street, Com-
mercial-road East. lam tenant of a house, No. 14, in that
street which belonged to Mrs. Emsley. The prisoner set a
copper in that house some days before Mrs. Emsley's death.
He told me deceased had sent him to do the work, but had
not allowed him materials to do it with. I asked what he
wanted, and he said, " about a peck of cement." I gave
him the money to get it. The prisoner said Mrs. Emsley
was a miserable old wretch, and would neither allow them
materials to do the work or half pay them for what they
had done. He said " I was at her house this morning, and
I give you some idea what a miserable old wretch she is.
She was sitting down to a breakfast that he would not sit
down to himself. She would not even allow herself a
farthing's worth of milk to put in her tea, so she drank it
without. It's a great pity such a miserable old wretch
should be allowed to live." Mullins told me I need not
take any notice of it to Mrs. Emsley.
Mr. Wood declined to put any questions.
By Mr. Selfe—lt was not until Mullins was in custody
that I told any person about the conversation I just
related.
Robert Went, K 160—On the 20th of August last I was
sent to search the coal cellar of the house of the deceased,
No. 9, Grove-road. I found an old handkerchief in a
tin. It had a quantity of money in it, viz., £32 in gold,
and £l6 2s. in silver.
Dr. Gill—l examined a boot that was produced on the
last examination. I found some human hairs projecting
from between the welt and the sole. (The witness pro-
duced it, it consisted of three hairs only.)
Walter Thomas Emms—l occupy a cottage at Emsley's
Brickfield, Globe-town, Bethnal-green, and am a shoe-
maker. I collected some rents for the deceased. I last
saw her about two o'clock on Monday, the 13th of August,
at the end of Barnsley- street, just as she was leaving it.
She made a communication to me that.induced me to go to
her house on the Wednesday afternoon. It was her custom
to go to Stratford with me on that day. I went to fetch
her. I knocked at the door I think about three times. I
did not get an answer, and I went away. I went again in
the afternoon; then I went to Stratford, collected her
rents, and returned to her house about half-past nine in
the evening. I knocked at the door, but could not gain
admittance. I did not go again myself until the evening
of tho next day. I could not then get any answer. On.
the following day (Friday) I communicated with Mr. Rose,
Mrs. Emsley's solicitor. I was taken into custody on
Sunday, the 9th of September, and I saw a parcel then in
the possession of the officers. I had never seen that parcel
before. I did not know such a parcel was in the shed
adjoining my house. I was surprised when the officer
showed it to me. On Saturday, the day previous, I was
unwell ; I did not get up until half-past nine. I left the
house for the first time that morning at half-past ten. I
am certain it was not before that time. The place
from which the parcel was taken is on the left hand
side going out. I did not go near the ruined
cottage at the back of my house that morning. I did not go
into the ruin early that day, get a parcel, go back into my
own house, and then return with it to the shed. I declare
I did not, heti:go God and man. I was not near the place,
and I had no parcel in my hand that day.
Mr. Wood—l have no question to ask.
Witness—Has Mullins any question to ask me ?
Mullins (laughing)—l'll have, a gentleman to talk to you
in another place.
By Mr. Selfe—Mullins has visited me frequently. He
has more than once had tea with me, and he knows it. If
he wanted to borrow a shilling or two he knew where to
come to, and he's had it.
Mullins looked at the witness and smiled, but made no
reply.

Susannah Emms—l am the daughter of the last witness.
I was at home on Saturday, the Bth of September last. My
father had his breakfast in bed that day. He did not get
up until about half-past nine, and then commenced work-
ing in the same re ,m as myself. He went out about half-
past 10, but he did not remain longer than 10 minutes.
The window of the room in which we were working looked
into the brick-field. Any one going into the shed must
have passed the window, and I must have seen them, as I
was working with my face towards it the whole day. My
father did not pass the window that day. On the afternoon
of that day I saw Mullins in the brickfield ; he was near
the school wall. He was looking down on the ground, as
if in search of something.
Walter Thomas Emma, a little boy, the son of Emms,
about 10 years of age, said—l recollect father being taken
into custody on a Sunday. Before that I saw Mullins in
the brickfield on Friday, about half-past two. He was
lying down, with a handkerchief up to his eyes. It wa
against the school wall. He stayed there about half an
hour. I was minding my pigs. I saw him again on Sa-
turday, after dinner. He came towards a heap of sand,
where they are putting in drain pipes. I saw him there
for about 10 minutes, and then I went in and told my
mother I had seen him. I was not at home when my
father got up that morning. I was out with the pigs.
Mr. Wontner—That, Sir, is the whole of the evidence
for the prosecution..
The prisoner was then asked, in the usual manner, what
he had to say to the charge, and he replied that he should
reserve his defence.
He was then fully committed for trial.
