door I found open was at the back part of the
building. I did not go into the cellars on that
occasion, as they were very dark. The inspector
of polico was not with me then. I went over
the premises frequently after I had taken pos-
session, but when I first entered the premises
after you had quitted them I saw the carboy I have
spoken about. It is now in the possession of the
Birmingham police.
Burke—Could the contents of the carboy have
been used by the previous occupiers of the house in
their business?

Witness—l don't know. I should say, however,
we were not agents for the premises at the time.
Burke—Your Honour, I will defer further cross-
examination until I have procured counsel. The
witness, of course, will be in attendance on the
next examination.

Sir T. llcury—Yes, certainly.
Ferdinand Fredrici--I live at No. 9, North-
crescent, Bedford-Equare. On the 28th of Jan., in
the present year, two persons came to lodge at
my house. They occupied two rooms on the se-
cond floor. The two persons went by the name of
Coleman and Fletcher. The rooms had been en-
gaged for them previously by another person.
Fletcher remained a fortnight, and the other five
weeks and a half. Whilst they remained at my
house some persons came every day to see them.
I afterwards went to Dublin. I there saw
the person whom I knew as Fletcher.
It was General Halpin. I was present
at his trial when he was convicted. I be-
lieve him to be the person who lived in my house
in the name of Fletcher. Whilst the person lam
speaking of remained with me I had a servant named
Emma Leyton. She would open the door to all
visitors. Coleman always paid the rent.
Sir T. Henry—Do you wish to ask the witness
any questions ?
Burke—l think it will be judicious in me not to
invade, the province of my counsel, so I will defer
all further cross-examination of the witnesses.

Eliza Coppins—l live at 65, Norfolk-terrace,
Bayswater. In the January of the present year
I was living at 107, Great Portland-street, with
my father, brother, and sister. My father rented
the house. In January of the present year I re-
member a man coming to live there in the name of
Farioli. He occupied th 2 parlours. Whilst Farioli
lived there, another man used to come to the house,
who also gave the name of Farioli. I saw that
person in Dublin. In Court he pleaded guilty
as General Farioli. Farioli used to visit the other
person in Great Portland-street every morning, and
remained until about six in the evening. They
generally appeared to be engaged in writing all day.
Whilst the two persons I have spoken of remained
in Great Portland-street they were visited by other
persons.

Mr. Poland—Call Massey into court.
On Massey making his appearance the wit-
ness at once identified him as one of the
♦isitors to Farioli. She further went on to say
the other man was a tall, fair person. I used
to open the door to all visitors. They never gave
any name when they came, but always walked
straight into the parlour. I never recollect any
other persons calling upon Farioli but Massey and
the tall, fair man. When Farioli and his friend went
out they always locked the door and carried away
the key.
Mrs. Ann Lambert—l reside at 51, St. Anne's-
street, Liverpool. In Sept., 1866, I kept a commer-
cial hotel, 40-42, Lord Nelson-street, Liverpool. I
recollect Inspector Home and Major Gregg coming
to search the house. Previous to that I believe a
person like Burke lodged there. I cannot swear it
is the same person. If it is, he is much altered.

Mr. Giffard—You are not asked to swear. Have
you any belief that either of the persons lodged
with you ?
Witness—l cannot say.
Mr. Giffard—Pray, madam, be careful. Have
you not told Mr. Poland that you believed the
pris)ner Burke to be the man ?
Witness—No, I've not.

Mr. Giffard—What? have you not slid you be-
lieved him to be the man. I must have an answer
to the question. lam afraid you know you are not
answering it, -What is your belief ?
Witness--I said to the gentlemen you point to
(Mr. Poland of the Treasury), that I thought it
was the man, but I could not say for certain. The
person I was speaking oft gave the name of
Winslow.

Mr. Giffard—Have you never told Constable
Clark that you were certain the prisoner was the
man ?

Witness—No, I have not.

Mr. Giffard—Pray, be careful. Have you seen a
person here named Corydon, and shaken hands
with him ?

Witness—Yes ; but I've not shaken hands with
him.

Mr. Giffard—Have you never seen Corydon and
the prisoner Burke together ?
. . _

Witness—l cannot say for certain that I have.

The witness then went on with her evidence in
chief. She said—l recollect some haversacks being
found in our house. I knew a person named Deasy;
he lodged at the house at the time, and also another
man named Thomas Burke. A person named
O'Brien lodged in the house also at the period I am
now speaking of, and also a Dr. Beadier. His
luggage was in the room occupied by Winslow.
By the prisoner Burke—l kept the hotel for 12
months. It is nothing unusual for persons of the
n tme of Deasy, O'Brien, and Burke to lodge at my
house. All the lodgers invariably partook of the
meals at one table in my house, as I had but one
dining-room.
Mr. Miles Lambert—l am the husband of the
last witness, and at one time kept a commercial
hotel at Liverpool. I recollect a person named
Winslow using the house in 186 G. The prisoner
Burke is the person. I don't take the active manage-
ment of the house, so I cannot speak so positively as
to all persons who sleep in the house, as I carry
an another business in the town. I recollect
the police searching the Lord IN elsou, and
finding the haversacks. The prisoner was at the
Lord Nelson one or two days before that time. At
this time I saw Timothy Deasy, Thomas O'Brien,
and O'Connor at the Lord Nelson. But I don't
know Corydon.
Mr. Giffard—But didn't you shake hands with
him this morning in this court?
Witness-1 don't know him for all that. Corydon
said he knew me, and with that I shook hands with
him. I did not see Winslow when he left the Lord
Nelson for the docks.

William Horne—l am an inspector of the Liver-
pool police. On the 12th of September last year I
went to the Lord Nelson Hotel at Liverpool. Major
Gregg, the chief of the police, was there also. We
went armed with a warrant to search the house of
Miles Lambert. On going into a room on the third
floor I found 23 haversacks ; they were lying loose
underneath the table. I have seen the prisoner
Burke, or, as I know him, Winslow, on several oc-
casions iu Liverpool, and also at Lambert's last
year, before the search.

Burke—Will you swear that you have seen me at
Lambert's?

Witness—No ; but, speaking to the best of my
belief, I have seen you there prior to the search.
Burke—Do you know how I was dressed?
Witness--No, I do not.
Burke—Do you recognise me by my features?
Witness—Yes ; you might have been a little
stouter then than now, but I recognise you princi-
pally by the features.
Burke—Then I am not much changed ?
Witness—No, beyond being somewhat thinner.
You wore a moustache and whiskers at the time I
am speaking.
Emma Leyton—ln January of the present year I
was servant to Mr. Fredrici. I recollect two per-
sons coining to lodge in the house of the names of
Coleman and Fletcher. They occupied two rooms
on the second floor. I used to attend on them.
Fletcher remained about 14 days, and Coleman six
weeks. I don't know tbs names of the persons who
visited them. I was present at the trial of General
Halpin. lie was the person whom I knew as Flet-
cher. I recollect Massey coming to my mother's
house on Sunday morning. At that time I think
Fletcher had left, but Coleman was still stopping
