THE MURDER 1N HEREFORDSHIRE.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

This morning the magistrates resumed their
examination of John Isaac Jones, the accused mur-
derer.
The first witness was Jesse Hughes, clerk to the
guardians of the union of this town, who deposed
that prisoner became porter at that union on the
6th November, 1856, and remained in that employ-
ment until March 24, 1857, at a yearly salary of
£l2 and rations. When prisoner went to be clerk
at Mr. Masefield's witness lent him £3, which
prisoner repaid him.

The magistrates refused to admit upon the depo-
sitions a testimonial to character which witness had
received from the Birmingham workhouse. When
prisoner became a porter here, stating that after
what the master of the Birmingham workhouse
had on the day before said with reference to the
incomplete extent of the information of himself and
others who gave testimonials to Jones when he
left Birmingham, such a testimonial was of no
value. Their worships, however, consented to record
upon the depositions the application of the pri-
soner's solicitor that the testimonial might form a
part of the depositions.
J. H. Deakin deposed that at about half-past
nine on the morning- that the murder was disco-
vered he waa in the back kitchen of Mr. Maze-
field's offices when the child Payne was brought
through out of Mr. Bowkett's house to be examined
by Superintendent Tanner and others in another
room. Prisoner was also in the back kitchen, and
said, " What is the use of that child's evidence ?"
Witness replied, " Her evidence would be as good
as anybody's." Jones repeated his former
remark. As soon as the child was taken back into
the inner room prisoner proceeded to the closed
door, took off his hat, and bending down his head,
listened to what was going on inside with consider-
able eagerness. Prisoner then opened the door and
went in. He seemed a little agitated and looked
examined—Prisoner knew that witness
pcould ob-servehim listen.

Superintendent Geo. Tanner of the Herefordshire
constabulary, was next examined. He deposed to
what he saw at Mr. Masefield's office when called
in on the morning after the murder, especially with
reference to the appearance of the body and the
state of the house and drawers. Was satisfied that
the house was not entered by violence. Found on
a shelf at the back of deceased's house a black wine
bottle containing about a pint of gin. The burning
body, when he found it, seemed to be clad in the
customary daily garb. Produced the bludgeon that
had been found locked up in prisoner's box, also
the cord found under the body, and a large knife
that might have broken open the drawer in Mr.
Masefield's office. The knife he found in a chest of
worth f
drawers in Mrs. Baker's sitting-room. Found
xl
