THE LATE MURDER AT JHAD WELL.

LATEST PARTICULARS.
On Saturday morning and yesterday (Sunday)
' Inspector Allison and Sergeant Terry, of the K
division, were busily engaged in making inquiry
respecting the late murder of Sarah Hamilton alias
Brown, the unfortunate young woman who' was
stabbed in the abdomen by an American seaman,
named Francis M'Clasky, at a house of ill fame,
situate at 13, Albert-place, Albert-street, St. Paul's,
Shadwell, on Sunday morning, the 2d instant.
The Chief Commissioner of the metropolitan
force (Sir Richard Mayne) gave orders on Saturday
afternoon for an additional number of detective offi-
cers to be placed on duty in the eastern district of
London, in pursuit of the alleged murderer, who is
supposed to be in the metropolis.
Late on Saturday evening information was re-
ceived at the King David-lane Police Station,
Shadwell, to the effect that the man M'Clasky had
been seen in the company of other foreign seamen,
in the vicinity of St. George's street, Ratcliff-high-
way. A number of active constables were sent in
search of the fellow, but after the officers had visited
numerous low dancing rooms, until midnight, they
were unsuccessful in their exertions to find him.
The jury empanneled to inquire into the cause
of the death of thg unfortunate female, requested
Mr. W. Baker, the coroner for East Middleiex, to
communicate with Sir G. Grey, the Secretary of
State for the Howe Department, with the view of
obtainin(-, a reward for the apprehension of
M'Clasky. The coroner accordingly complied with
the wish of the jury, and on Friday morning a
letter was sent to the Home-office, Whitehall, but
on Saturday no answer had been received. It is
fully expected that a reward will be granted by
Government for the apprehension of the accused.
T.vo American seamen were taken into custody
on Saturday morning, on suspicion of being the
murderer. The first man was apprehended at
Liverpool, and the other was arrested at Ports-
mouth, but both were subsequently discharged.
The police have been busily employed during the
last few days in searching various vessels lying in
the docks and on the river Tnames ' • but last
night at 9 o'clock, the accused had not been cap-
tured.

The paddlewheel steam yacht Osborne, master
George H. K. Bowyer, with the Lords of the Ad-
miralty, left Plymouth on Friday evening for the
eastward.

IRELAND.

MURDER OF MR. LITTLE.
SECOND nAY.
DUBLIN, SATURDAY t VrNING.
The trial was resumed this morning at 10 o'clock.
Ann Gunning was recalled for the purpose of
having some questions asked of her by counsel for
the prisoner. From her replies to those queries it
appeared that there were several other modes of
egress from the railway terminus besides that used
by the prisoner as alleged on the part of the
prosecution.
Lucy Spollen, the prisoner's daughter, was next
introduced and placed in the witness chair. The
prisoner, at sight of her, became excessively nerv-
ous, his hands clinched, and his countenance, of
which immobility is the prevailing characteristic,
was suddenly contorted by strong emotioniwhile
sobbing, which an effort of powerful will succeeded
in repressing, Was for a moment quite audible to
those in his vicinity. The little girl was subjected
by the Lord Chief Justice and the Attorney-
General to a most rigid examination as to her
knowledge of the nature and obligations of an oath.
The result of this being satisfactory to the court,
she was sworn, and in reply t) the Attorney-
General, deposed that on the evening of the 13th
of November last the prisoner came home about 8
o'clock, that from the window of one of the rooms
of the cottage she saw her father standing on the
roof of the greasehouse. It was a moonlight night.
Mrs. Spollen was standing at the door while the
prisoner was on the roof of the greasehouse. The
litter was putting some "round thing in a lump"
down the chimney. In about an hour and a half
after she saw him on the roof the prix mer took his
tea. Her father was on the roof about 6 or 7
o'clock. He ascended to the roof by a short ladder,
which he drew up after him and reared against the
window. Identified. a fragment of calico, which
she describes as the remnant of a sunbonnet pre-
sented to her by a cousin, but which was never used
by her in consequence of it not pleasing her taste.
Saw this calico used as a duster about three months
before Mr. Little's death. About the period of
Mr. Little's murder the prisoner told her that if
she were shown a piece of chamois or a red rag, to
say that she had never seen them before. About
a week before the prisoner's arrest her mother
was taken ill at night. The prisoner was then re-
quested by her mother to send for a physician and
a clergyman. The prisoner, in reply, said that he
would not allow a priest or doctor into the house,
and that the first who would leave to go for them
he would " have their life."
Cross-examined—My father was sometimes away
from home when he was down the line, but he
never slept out of our house for two years previous
to the murder. At half-past son the evening of
Friday, the 14th of NOvember, we heard that Mr.
Little bad been murdered. My brother heard it
among the workmen. lam sure it was on the
evening previous to our so hearing of the murder
that I saw my father on the roof of the greasehouse.During the week in which the murder was com-
mitted I think my father came home at the usual
hour, but I cannot say. The lunatic asylum is at
the back of our cottage, and from the windows of
it the roof and Chimney of the greasehouse can be
distinctly seen ; the greasehouse is very exposed,
and is visible from all the spots around.; across the
window of the parlour of our cottage a table ex-
tends ; a chest of drawers is also there. A curtain
covers the window about half-way up. That cur-
tain was drawn across the night of the murder, and
there was a curdle burning in the room. My
brother James took tea with my mother that night,
and afterwards I and Joseph got our tea. The
candle was then lighting. It was after 7, about
half-past, whet my mother and James sat down to
tea. They wire half an hour at it, and then
Joseph and I lore about the same time at our tea.
Upon my solenn oath, as I expect to be believed,
I have used Os piece of calico. I know it by the
pattern. I hale no mark upon it. I never washed
it myself, nor do I know that it ever was washed
by any person. I have heard conversations in the
cottage by men belonging to the railway about
people who coild give information as to who mur-
dered Mr. Litte in order to get the reward. We
were not looling for the reward, but we were
speaking abort persons who were. After I was
first examined at the police-office I never spoke a
word to my rather or any other person about what
I had sworn, ror did my mother say anything to
me about it. : never spoke a sentence to either of
my brothers or to my mother about what I have
deposed to her this day.
On the application of counsel for the prisoner the
informations oithe witness taken before the magis-
trates were hen read.
The Attoenee, General proposed to ask the wit-
ness, had she received any direction not to speak
to any one abort the evidence which she had given
or was to give?
The Court cllined to reieive the evidence.
In reply to cpestions from the Court the witness
deposed that, h order to look out of the cottage
window, she bat raised the curtain which covered
it. There was room at each side of the table to ap-
proach the winder. She had no motive, except to
look out, for going to the window. Did not do so
in expectation ofseeing the prisoner.
The Attorney-General, having examined the wit-
ness as to her informations, elicited the fact that
her brothers Janes and Joseph came to the win-
dow and saw the prisoner on the roof. In the ori-
ginal information theiwitnesi deposed to having
seen the rag which enveloped the money, and
which had been used as a duster in the cottage, on
the day of, or the day before, the murder. She
now said that she recollected it was three months
previously she had seen it. The question was then
put—" What explanation have you to give to the
Court and the jury of this difference in your evi-
dence I"
Witness—l don't understand you sir.
In reply to a question from the Lord Chief Jus-
tice, the witness, however, stated that the discre-
pancy in her evidence arose from her better recol-
lection now.
The child gave her evidence in a singularly cool
and colected manner. She was throughout calm
and self-possessed t, an extraordinary degree, and
exhibited in all her conduct the possession of intel-
ligence to an extent far in advance of her years.
From the moment she came upon the table until
she left it her eyes were studiously averted from the•
countenance of the prisoner. The same ob3er va-
Vous hold good as applied to the next following
witness.
Joseph Spollen, examined by Mr. Fitzgibbon
—The prisoner is my father. lam within a
*month of 14 years of age. I saw my father on the
evening of the murder between half-past 5 and 6
o'clock crossing the lines and proceeding towards
the terminus. He had something swinging in his
hand. Ido not know what it was he carried ;it
appeared to be somewhat lengthy. I next saw him
about eight o'clock on the roof of the forge. I was
then at the parlour window. My father was stand-
ing by the chimney. He was standing on what I
thought was a plank which was raised from the roof
to the set-off of the chimney. We were induced to
look from the window in consequence of our won-
der at my father being so late away from home.
My brother George was the first to see my father
on the roof. I recognise two razors out of the four
now shown me as belonging to my father. Ido
not know the other two. The rag now produced
belonged to my sister. My father told me about
the time of the murder that if the police should
show nee a piece of red rag or chamois leather to
deny all knowledge of them. The hammers I now
see belonged to my father ; one of them he had lent
a short time before Mr. Little's death ; another
was -in the old paint shop ; and the third was'used
for nailincr up scarlet runners. (The witness here
gave evidence in corroboration of the previous wit-
ness with respect to the prisoner's conduct during
the illness of his wife.) The locks now produced
are those which my father used to fasten the oil-
cans. He had them both up to the time of Mr.
Little's murder, but soon afterwards he had only
one.

Cross-examined—Previous to my father's arrest
I took a key from his pocket and opened a drawer,
in which I saw eight sovereigns and 17s. 6d. in
silver ; I counted it over and put it back. I was
in the habit of going to school regularly. I don't
think I was at school on the day of the murder.
I positively say I never swore that I was at school
on that day. I saw Lucy nearly three years ago,
wearing the sun bonnet. I never used it as a duster
myEtelf, but I know it by the pattern. Ido not
think I told my mother what my father desired me
to say about the rag or chamois in case the police
showed them me. I did not on the day of tho
arrest know -what it was for, but asked a police-
' man. I held no conversation with my mother or
any one else about it.
The witness's informations were here read over by
the Clerk of the Crown. In those the witness made
no mention of having seen the prisoner from dinner
time (1 o'clock) till the petiod when he saw him on
the roof of the old forge, aud, in fact, said that he
did not see him within those hours. He was now
asked for an explanation of this discrepancy, as
well as to explain why it was he had stated that he
was at school every day during the week in which I
the murder was committed, while now he said he
was ni.t at school on the day of the murder. He
made no reply.
Mr. Fitzgibbon asked the witness a few questions
arising out of the cross-examination, and elicited
the fact that the prisoner's wife and daughter were
both away from home on the day of the arrest, and
had been so for a week previously.
Inspector Ryan, of the detective division of the
metropolitan police, deposed to statements made
by the prisoner as to his vrhereabout on the evening

MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10, 1857

of the murder, by which he endeavoured to accoun
for his time on the railway premises up to 9 o'clock,-
and then from that hour to ten minutes past 10, at
which time he alleged he returned with his wife
after the purchase of certain necessaries. Th's
witness also deposed to the tinding of the razor
towards the end of June last, with the name
" Spollin" upon it. The blade of this razor was
quite black when taken from the canal, but a red
rust formed upon it upon exposure to the air.

Henry Nagle, Joseph West, James Mogill, and
Donelly,, a constable, were then examined,l but
their evidence wb.s not material.

A locksmith was next put upon the table to open
the brass padlock found in the red lead bucket in
which the silver was concealed in the privy. On
the cap being removed and the interior exposed to
view, it was observed to be quite full of red lead.
Evidence was then given of Spollen having in the
course of his business received red lead, but in a
square box, not a round tub in any way similar to
that in which the silver was fouud.

A witness was also produced to account for only
onelrazor being found in November last. This he
did by showing that the dam put up did not include
within its compass the spot where the second razor
was found.

After the examination of several other witnesses
as to matters of detail, the case for the Crown closed
shortly before 8 o'clock. Mr. Curran will address
the jury for the defence on Monday morning. It
is said that only one witness will be called for the
prisoner—namely, James Spollen, the eldest son.

THE MELLO.
In the Dublin Freeman, of this morning there is
an account of one of those nearly-forgotten inci-
dents of Irish life in the past ages, familiarly known
as "an affair of honour." The cases belli, as in
nine cases out of ten, was "a lady." Here is the
bulletin :

" Mr. John T. Walker, Mr. W. W. King (17th
Lancers), Mr. Francis Edward Thomas, and Sir E.
Hutchinson were brought before the sitting magis-
trates yesterday in custody—the first named two
gentleman charged with having intended to fight a
duel yesterday morning. Mr. Thomas and Sir E.
Hutchinson were also arrested as accessories. The
scene of the intended rencontre was a retired spot
in the vicinity of Kilbarrack churchyard, near
Howth. The police authorities having received in-
formation 'of the intended duel took every precau-
tion to prevent it, and constables selected for the
purpose succeeded in arresting Mr. King and Sir
E. Hutchinson at Kilbarrack churchyard. Mr.
Walker and his second, Mr. Thomas, were taken
into custody on their way to the appointed place of
meeting. The principals in the transaction (Mr.
Walker and Mr. King) were released from custody
on their entering into their own recognisances of
1,000/. each, and two sureties of 2501. each. Sir
E. Hutchinson and Mr. Thomas were discharged on
coming bound in 5001. each to keep the peace. The
cause of the intended duel is said to have arisen
out of a misunderstanding between the principals
relative to a lady, a connexion of one of the
parties."

Af DRAT AT ASTLErs.--A FLYING

SKETCH.

(Prom the A thenceum )
Lord Cardigan, morbidly desirous of the smallest
portion of any sort of immortality, gocs to the small
artists who live over our friends. the thntists, and
buys a shilling's worth for his daily consurnoo°.
His bold face and figure, the model of the " dash-
ing dragoon" in the popular song, are to be met
with at the doorway of every photographer for the
million. To judge from the shop windows, Lord
Cardigan was the very Achilles of the Crimean war.
One would think that, catching grape shot in his
teeth and treating thirty-two pound shot as vulgar
skittle balls, he stormed Sebastopol, slew the Rus-
sian Emperor, and ended the campaign in three Doi
rich vici blows. In one window he is spiking a
gun, exclaiming, "Here goes the last of the Cardi-
gans !" in aother he is leading on his men, with ue
other general insight, the fleet in the distance waiting
for his orders to land and support the cavalry, as all
Irishmen might say. He has been done in collodion,
and with the honeyprocess, touched and not touched;
and in various cases of celebrated men he ranks
with Gordian Cramming, the lionkiller, the Rey.
Mister Sturgeon, missionary from the Deep Sea
Fishery, and Rambo Sambo, the 2Ethiopian
Hln-
dco, supposed to be born in Connaught. Te
crown these two dozen brilliant immortalitiee, •
the gallant hero who took a Russian gun with
each hand, not to mention his feet, has engaged
Mr. Sant, the brilliant and fashionable . painter.
of fashionable children, who will not point the
portrait of an ugly person on any terms, to re-
present him " describing the Battle of Balaklava
-CO the royal family at Windsor Castle." The
picture, apart from the vanity, is a good one.
In a richly.furnished room of the palace, at a
table by au embrasured window, edged in witli
busts on marble pillars, stands. the hero, pointing
with his usual animation to a map, with a plan
of the battle. Prince Albert, with another mat
in his hand, stands near, with his handsome oval
face, a little thinned and flattened by the courtly
and polite painter. The two eldest chilirent
dressed in red and green tartan, with sporrae,
&c., stand near, watching the lordly finger With
wary interest. The youngest son, in the fore-
ground, has dropped a flag he has been playing
with, and stares with childish awe at the wild
Horseman. In the background in Lord Rivers,
and a lady of the court, while the two Princesses,
holding each other's hand, and presenting_ clear
and beautiful profiles, form an interesting group:
Our only objection to the picture is, that, Lora
Cardigan does not fill the whole canvas. The
composition and colour of Mr. Sant's pidure ato
better than the drawing—the touch, for him, 15
b,ld and free.
