THE 'SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER, 14, 1861.

Castle-yard, where they were mixed up witti4V
other persons.
By Mr. Kearns—l first met him at his own resi-
dence on the 7th. I put the question in the stable
to him that I have mentioned. Doyle put questions
to him also. While Doyle was speaking I did not
ask questions. I did not go into the room with
Doyle at the prisoner's own residence. I stopped
in the hall. Doyle was five or six minutes in the
room before he and the prisoner came out. The
stable is about 50 perches from the prisoner's resi-
dence. The prisoner did not appear dissatisfied.
He was not in custody. If he did not satisfy us
we would not like to part with him. On Thursday
morning we paraded him for the satisfaction of the
parties complaining. The parties saw him. I did
not know what was said. He was let go. The
parade took place for the purpose of seeing if he
could be identified.

Maria Connor examined—l live at 3, Stephen's-
place. lam a widow. lam by occupation a nurse-
tender, and am the owner of a cab and horse. I
know the prisoner, he was in my employment. He
ceased to be in my employment on last Tuesday
week. He was in my employment for a fort-
night and three days. I recollect the night of
the 27th of September. He was in my employ-
ment that night. He returned to my house
between eleven and twelve that night. (Sen-
sation,) He put up the horse and cab in the
usual way. He was sober. Some evenings he
.came in early, and some later. Generally speaking
he game home about 12 o'clock. He settled with
me about the fares. He paid me about 7s. Gd.
There was nothing more passed between us. He
fed his horse, and went about his business. The
feed was ready in the stable. He was about 20
minutes attending to the horse. It was a very wet
night. He was regular and sober while he was
with me.

By Mr. Kearns—l was not particular in watch-
ing the boy, except that he did his business. I re-
collect the night of the 27th and 28th. He came
home earlier on Saturday night. He was not in
before 11 o'clock on that night. I have a clock
which does not go right. Had no particularity in
watching that night more than any other. He had
left my service before I had heard of this occurrence.
I did not hear of it till four days after it took place.
It was a day or two before I heard of the occurrence
that he left me.

By Mr. M‘Dermott—He complained that the
horse was bad when he was going. I said, " You
are going, Johnny, I suppose, on account of the
horse being bad ?" He said, " Yes." I parted with
the same horse since. He complained to me before
that the horse was bad.

By Mr. Kearns—l have only had one driver
since he left me.

By Mr. M‘Dermott—He left my service on Tues-
day. He had been driving between the 27th and
that day. He drove on the Sunday and settled his
fares with me.

Agnes Wyles, examined by Mr. Armstrong, jun.
—I live at 9, Off-lane. I recollect Friday night,
Sept. 27. I was in Sackville-street from 7 o'clock
in the afternoon, till after 12 that day. I noticed
a cab with two persons going into it. It was be-
tween 10 and 12 o'clock at night I observed the
person who drove the cab.

To Mr. M‘Dermott—l saw a lady enter the cab,
and a gentleman remain outside. I think I would
know the man who drove the cab.—Look about and
see if you can observe him.—Yes, that's him (point-
ing to the prisoner).
Examination continued—l have often seen him
in Sack ville-street before.

By Mr. Wllermott—The night was both wet
and stormy.

By Mr. Anderson—l could not say whether
the last buss had left ; I did not mind
the busses. I saw the lady enter near Bewley
and Evans's. It was on the same side of the
street ; the horse's head was turned towards Carlisle-
bridge. I saw a lady enter the crab ; the gentleman
pushed in her clothes and shut the door. The
driver had a -whitish coat on him. I think I would
know the lady or gentleman,—Do you see the gen-
tleman P That is the gentleman. (Ifere the wit-
ness pointed out Mr. Joly.) I am certain that is
the gentleman.

:135- Mr. Kearns--I never saw his worship heti)re, •
on my oath I was never before a magistrate. I
was in Offtlane a fortnight. I was in Samson's-
lane before that. I was a month there. I was
visited before that at my father and mother's. I
have left my father and mother about three months.
They live in Kilkenny. I will not tell you what I
was doing in Saekville-street that night. I had
had nothing to drink that night. When I was
near Bewley and Evans's, I was standing at a hall
door. It was wet. The lights were out at Bewley
and Evans's. I think it was a greyish horse that
was under the cab. I cannot tell you what kind of
harness it was. I cannot tell you the colour of the
cab. I never saw the lady and gentleman before.
I last saw the prisoner in the Castle-yard, A detec-
tive asked me if I saw a gentleman and lady take
a cab on the night in question. I told him I did,
and described the circumstance to him. Mrs. Toler,
my mistress, keeps a house for young ladies.
(Laughter.) I did not see the Post-office clock
that night, but to the best of my belief it was be-
tween 10 and 11 o'clock. I saw other parties go
into cabs that evening. I would not know them
again. What attracted my attention to the lady
and gentleman in question was that I was nearer
to them: Did you ever see any other gentleman
with a beard that night (pointing to the prisoner) ?
He's no gentleman, nor you either. (Laughter.)
Mr. Andersen asked to have the case remanded
at this stage.
His worship said he thought there was evidence
sufficient to justify him in remanding the case.
The case was then remanded till Friday next.
The prisoner has a cadaverous looking face, and
appears one of the shabbiest of his order. He is about
the middle height. The upper lip protrudes con-
siderably, giving a sensual animal look to the face.
His whiskers consist of a few tufts of sandy hair
at either side. He wore a long whitish coat.
Sir Robert Peel and Sergeant Murphy came into
court during the hearing of the case, and remained
some time on the bench.
