night when the prisoner came home. No one men-
tioned an 3 thing about a reward to me. I have
heard of a reward since this occurrence. Cannot
tell from whom I heard it. I did not inquire.
Would you take any reward if it were offered to
you ?—I would not.

- Would you take £l,OOO if it were offered to you
for giving this evidence ?—I would not take it to
perjure myself. I was examined before the magis-
trates and swore an information. I stated every-
thing then that I have said now.
Mr. Curran then read the information sworn by
the witness. It contained nothing about the striking
of the Mount-street clock to which she deposed on
this occasion.

Cross-examination resumed—My clock sometimes
goes wrong ; it goes fast. I cannot tell what time
Curran came in on the night of Sept. 20, nor on the
night of the Sunday previous to this occurrence.
To a Juror—My horse was of Ei dark brown
colour, I can't say whether the horse had been
hard driven, because I did not see it until the next
morning.

A Jui•or—Were there any coppers in the money
he gave you that night ?
Witness—Not any.
To Judge O'Brien—The cushions of the cab were
of a dark green colour, and the lining a light green
marsella with a yellow flower; the cab has no lamps.
To a Juror—l saw no money with him but what
he gave me.

At the request of Mr. Curran the Court asked the
witness whether she missed a cushion.
The witness, in reply, said—No, your lordship, I
lost no cushion.

Mr. Curran—Did you find an umbrella in the
cab the next morning ?

Witness—l did not.

John Croft, examined by Mr. Walshe, Q.C.—
lam a tailor. I live in Stephen's-lane, in the same
house and in the next room to Mrs. Curran. I
remember the 27th of September last. I was not
at work that day. I came home that night
at half-past 10. I saw Mrs. Curran when I was
going into my room on that occasion. I remained
in the room two or three minutes, and when
I came out I went past Mrs. Connor's door
to the next hall-door, where I stopped some
time talking to a man named Baldwin. I
remained talking to him about half an hour, and
while doing so I heard several clocks strike 11. I
did not hear the church clock strike. I then went
back to my own place. I saw a light in Mrs, Cur-
ran's room. I passed the stable door on my way to
speak to Baldwin, and also on coming back. I do
not know whether the cab was in the stable or not.
I did not see Curran at the stable, but he might have
been there without my knowledge.
To Judge O'Brien—l did not observe whether the
stable door was open or not.
To Mr. Sidney—Mrs. Connor has only the house
and stable; she has no yard attached to her house.:
Acting-Inspector Campbell examined by Mc:
Barry—l am of the G division. I was at the Castle-
yard on the 10th of October, when the cabmen were
there.

The witness was not cross-examined.
Sergeant Sullivan stated that this closed the case
for the Crown.

Mr. Sidney proceeded to address the jury on be-
half of the accused, John Curran. He deplored the
outrage, but on behalf of his client asked the atten-
tion of the jury to the evidence he was about to
adduce, and said hat if that attention were given
he was fearless of the result. He said that the pro-
secution must fail, because he would be able to de-
monstrate that the principal witness, Agnes Wiles,
was a perjurer.
When Mr. Sydney was about half way in his
speech the Court adjourned till Monday morning,
when the trial will be resumed.
