IRELAND,

MURDER OF MR. LITTLE.
SECOND DAY.
DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING.
The trial was resumed this morning at 10 o'cloek.
Ann Gunning was recalled for the purpose of
balling 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 characterietic,
was suddenly contorted by strong emotion while
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 to the Attorney-
General, d-posed that on the evening of the 13th
of Novemb-r 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
latter 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 pris Hier 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 prisorer 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 lie
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 had 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 candle 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, when my mother and James sat down to
tea. They were half an hour at it, and then
Joseph and I were about the same time at our tea.
Upon my solemn oath, as I expect to be believed,
I have used this piece of calico. I know it by the
pattern. I have no mark upon it. 1 never washed
it myself, nor do I know that it ever ev,s washed
by any person. I have heard conversations in the
cottage by men belonging to the railway about
people who could give information as to who mur-
dered Mr. Little in order to get the reward. We
were not looking for the reward, but we were
speaking about persons who were. After I was
first examined at the police-Office I never spoke a
word to my mother or any other person about what
I had sworn, nor did my mother say anything to
me about it. I never spoke a sentence to either of
my brothers or to my mother about what I have
deposed to here this day.
On the application of counsel for the prisoner the
informations of the witness taken before the magis-
trates were here read.
The Attorney General proposed to ask the wit-
ness, had she received any direction not to speak
to any one about the evidence which she had given
or was to give?
The Court declined to receive the evidence.
In reply to questions from the Court the witness
deposed that, in order to look out of the cottage
window, she had raised the curtain which covered
it. There was room at each side of the table to ap-
proach the window. She had no motive, except to
look out, fur going to the window. Did not do so
in expectation of seeing the prisoner.
The Attorney-General, having examined the wit-
ness as to her informations, elicited the fact that
her brothers James and Joseph came to the win-
dow and saw the prisoner on the roof. In the ori-
ginal information thejevitness 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 bad 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 ?"
Witness—l don't understand you sir.
In reply to a question from the Lord Chief Jus-
tice, the witness, however, stated that the dis.cre-
pancy in her evidence arose from her better recol-
lection now.
The child gave her evidence in a singularly cool
and collected manner. She was throughout calm
and self-possessed to 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 observa-
tions hold good as applied to the next following
witness.
Joseph Spollen, examined by Mr. Fitzeibbon
—The prisoner is my father. lam within a
mouth 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 h;s
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. illy, father told me about
the time of the murder that if the police should
show me a piece of red rag or chamois leather to
deny all knowle lge 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 wasi•Used
for nailing 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 neve-z used it as a duster
myself, bas I know it by the pattern. I do 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 the
arrest know what it was for, but asked a police-
man. I he'd no conversation with my mother or
any one else about it.
The witness's iaformations were here read over by
the Clerk of the Crown. In thoFe the witness made
no mention of having seen the prisoner from dinner
time (1 o'clock) till the period when he saw him on
the roof of the old forge, and, in fact, said that he
did not see him within those hours. Be 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 w hicti
the murder was committed. while now he said he
was n t at school on the day of the murder. lie
made no reply,
Mr. Fitzgibbon asked the witness a few questions
aris'ng out of the cross-examination, and eltcl,3(l
the fact that the prisoner's wife and daughter were
both away from home on the day of the arrest, and
had Leen so for a week previously.
Inspector Ryan, of the detective division of the
metropolitan police, deposed to statements mado
by the prisoner as to his whereabout on the evening

•
of the murder, by wilich he endeavoured to accoun
for his time on the railway premises up to 9 o'clock,
snd th9n from that inur to ten minutes Fast 10, at
which time he alie2•ed horeturned Lis sr-r"";
after the purchase of cerLain necessaries. rilt,s
witness also deposed to the liLidin,:4- 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.
Ile•2ry Nagle, Joseph West, James Mogill, and
Donelly, a conqable, were then examined, but
their evidence was 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 found.
A witness was also produced to account for only
one razor 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
shordy before 8 o'clock. Mr. Curran will address
the jury for the defence on Monday morning. It
is said that only one witneas will be called for the
prisoner—namely, James Spollen, the eldest son.

THE DUELLO.
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 "au affair of honour." The cases belli, as in
nine cases out of tan, 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. Th©
scene of the intended rencontre was a retired spot
in the vicinity of Kilbarrack churchyard, near
Howth. The policy authorities having received in-
io:mation of the intended duel took every precau-
Con to pravent 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
1,0301. 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."
