THE CASE OF ROSINA HERBERT.—A lady, one of
several others, came forward yesterday to leave 1/. for
the sampstress Rosina Herbert.

Mr. YARDLEY—I do not know whether you have
seen to-day's papers, and perhaps you are not aware
that we have received a good deal too much on her
account already. The consequences of bestowing
donations so liberally on persons who have committed
offences may be very serious. If you take my advice,
you will bestow it upon some other object.
Lady—ln that case, as I have another application,
I will bestow it there.

In two or three other instances where money was
proffered, Mr. Yardley having made similar observa-
tions, the amount was ordered to be put to the general
poor fund.
An acknowledgment of the following donations has
been requested :—J. 8., 105. ; A. Y., 10s. ; 11., 10s.;

LIVERPOOL PLATE ROBBERIES.

THIRD INVESTIGATION.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—According to the adjourn-
ment made on this day week, another investigation of
these charges took place to-day. From the various
statements and disclosures which have been made
during the past week, the public anxiety to be pre-
sent at this investigation was very great, and long
before the hour appointed for opening the court there
was a large number of persons present; and it was
with the utmost difficulty that the legal gentlemen,
or the reporters, of whom there was a pretty strong
muster, could obtain seats.

At five minutes to eleven o'clock a cab drove up,
containing the prisoners Sirrell, M'Auley, and
M'Guire. They were immediately put into the dock
in charge of an officer of the county police, and one of
the turnkeys of Kirkdale. They did not appear the
least altered. Sirrell had a small carpet-bag, which
he carried into the dock with him. Both M'Auley
and M'Guire wore travelling caps,
Soon after eleven o'clock the magistrates began to
take their seats on the bench. There were present
J. A. Harden, Esq., chairman ; J. B. Yeats, David
Hodgson, J. B. Moore, J. T. Bourne, R. Theak-
stone, J. B. Barclay, J. A. Tinne, and J. Rosson,
Esqrs.
The prisoners were defended by the same legal
gentlemen as appeared for them on the last examina-
tion—namely, Mr. Lewis, solicitor, London, for Mr.
Sirrell ; and Mr. Simon, barrister, for M'Auley and
M'Guire. Mr. Dowling prosecuted.
The proceedings to-day were commenced by read-
ing over the depositions taken before the magistrates
on this day week.

John Lund sworn—ls an inspector of the detective
police in London. Remembers the 2d of October.
Went on that day to the corner of Barbican, Long-
lane, No. 54, occupied by the prisoner Sirrell. I
there saw a person whom I knew to be in the em-
ploy of the London and North-Western Railway enter
the shop of 54, with two parcels under his arm and a
book in his hand. Followed in immediately behind
him. Sirrell was standing near the counter when we
entered. The porter placed the two parcels in Mr.
Sirrell's hands. Mr. Sirrell, on looking at them,
banded them over to n person whom he called John,
behind the counter, at the same time telling him to
pay two shillings on one of the parcels—the smaller
and the lightest one of the two. The delivery book
was then handed by the porter for Mr. Sirrell to
sign. Mr. Sirrell then handed it over to John to sign
for the delivery. lie did so, and handed over the
book, with twoshillings, to the porter. The porter then
left the shop, and John then placed the two parcels at
the side of the desk on the counter. At that moment
the officer, Kehoe, from Liverpool, with Sergeants
Witcher and Shaw, of the London detectives, entered
the shop. I immediately bent over the counter and
took possession of the two parcels, and pointed out to
Kehoe where Mr. Sirrell had gone to, which I after-
wards found to be the counting-house. Followed
after them with the two parcels, and said to Sirrell,
" You must be present when I open these." Was
then in the counting-house. Sirrell said, "No, no,
one of my young peen will do. I will have nothing
to do with it." At that time we had walked from
the counting-house to the other shop, which I be-
lieve is in a line with the counting-house. It is not
the shop by shish we entered. Plated the tw,)
parcels on the counter and commenced undoing them,
when Sirrell immediately left and walked back to the
counting-house. I then called out and said I must
insist upon his being present when these parcels were
being opened. The officer Kehoe then went and
brought him back to the counter. I then opened the
parcels. Sirrell, Kehoe, and Sergeant Shaw, of the
London detective police, were present, and there might
have been one of the shopmen present. Gave the
parcels over to the officer Kehoe. Saw the parcels.
They were plate. One parcel was in a tin canister,
wrapped in paper. After I had opened the parcels I
said to Sirrell, " Have you any letter from Liverpool
this morning ?"
Mr. Simon here said that he objected to such evi-
dence as regards M'Auley.
The COURT—It is no evidence against M'Auley of
course.

Witness—Mr. Sirrell stepped back three or four
paces, made no reply, but brought a letter which wit-
ness afterwards handed over to Kehoe. The letter
was handed to witness, which he identified. Asked
Sirrell if he knew the person who wrote the letter.
He replied that he thought not ; but that he had had
20 transactions with him. Witness then conveyed
him to the King-street Police-station, Westminster.
The letter was open when he saw it.
Cross-examined by Mr. Simon—Was not five miles
from John. Sirrell handed the parcels to John.
Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Kehoe had not the
opportunity of hearing all that he did. Kehoe could
not see what took place in the shop before he entered.
Cannot say what Kehoe said when he went into the
counting-house. Did not follow i❑ immediately.
Was not close enough to hear what passed. The letter
was banded to witness without. hesitation. The par-
cel was opened by witness. Before the parcel was
opened, can t say whether I told him under what cir-
cumstances I took possession. He said he would call
the police in. The place of business is extensive,
and contains a large amount of property. Witcher
had not the same opportunity of seeing what passed as
witness had.

Llewellyn Roberts—Resides in Everton, near Li-
verpool. Is a mercantile clErk. Has known the pri-
soner M'Auley for 20 years or more. Has seen him
write frequently, hut not for 12 years. Identifies the
writing as that of M'Auley.
Cross-examined by Mr. Simon—Has a good me-
mory.
Cross examined by Mr. Lewis—Has seen jewellery
in his shop in Basnett-street, but knows nothing of
his dealing in plate.
-C. Kehoe recalled (sworn)—llss some letters in
his possession which he got in Sirrell's counting-
house,
which he took off a file while Sirrell was
present.
Cross-examined--Cannot say whether they were in
the same state as they now appear.
To Mr. Dowling—Removed the letters before he
left the counting-house, and in presence of the
prisoner.
Mr. Roberts recalled, with the view of proving the
handwriting contained in the number of letters now
produced.
Mr. Simon objected to their admission as affect-
ing the case of his client M'Auley, as their contents
had no reference to the charge now under investi-
gation.
The Chairman could no say so until he bad exa-
mined the letters.
Mr. Lewis was most anxious to lay before the
Court every item of evidence both for and against
his client.
The whole of the letters were read by the clerk of
the magistrates. One of them contained the follow-
ing in reference to Californian gold, of which the
following is a copy :
" No. 4, Hope, St. Jude's, Liverpool, Aug. 21.

" Mr. Sirrell,
" Sir,—l have forwarded some silver, about 38 oz.,
also some uncertain gold, which you will please to
remit for as usual. I now wish to draw your atten-
tion to the enclosed 2oz. of Californian gold. It is a
part .of a large quantity which a friend of mine has
brought with him to this port. He wishes me to have
it assayed and the value ascertained ; please do so.
Remit the value and a separate invoice. I imagine
the party is trying for the best market, and please say
if quantity is an object to you.—Yours respectfully,
" Wm. M'AULEY.
_ _

" The bank post bill came safe to hand."

Mr. George Slee—ls a clerk in the Money-order
office in Liverpool. Produces a number of money-
orders, six in all. They are orders sent from London
to Liverpool, and paid by witness at different dates.
Recollects seeing the prisoner M'Auley. Cannot say
whexe. His face is fAuailiar to witness.

!lei

The witness Roberts recalled—He said he belies
the signature to the post-office orders were ie
handwriting of M'Auley.
Mr. S!ee's examination was resumed—He marlisthidi
orders as paid. The dates of the orders are three 0!
tl e Bth of August, one of the 22d of August, and tit k
of the 13. h of September.
Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Has no post-4c:
order for 4/. 7s. Bd. on the 30th of August ; nor of
sl3'
order for 21. 13s. 11d, on the 221 of August; pore
for 6/. Os. 9d. on the 18th of July. not
Mr. Dowling—This closed his case, and be -
asked fur a committal.
Mr. Dowling then proceeded with another chef
against the prisoner Sirrell, for receiving stolen go-
a table spoon, knowing it to be stolen.
Mr. Dowling. stated the case, from which it aPPeRSO,
that a robbery took place at the residence of tbe,o
Mr. Gardner Stanley on the 27th of July, from 01
a quantity of plate was stolen, and out of which,l,o
certain silver spoon, which was found in Mr. Sal"
possession. ole°

Mr. Lewis objected to the case going on,
Mr. Dowling would first state upon what grouadsi
intended to connect Mr. Sirrell with the robbery,
having a guilty knowledge thereof.
The Court briefly consulted, and ordered *
arwling to proceed. Dff'

Mr. Simon addressed the Court on behtnot
M'Auley, and Mr. Lewis on behalf of the pr'
Sirrell. .001
The Bench at once intimated that it was of 014 d
that there was" sufficient evidence to send the
for trial elsewhere. 03'
Mr. Lewis applied that his client should wei of

M'Auley, but the bench declined doing so. bid
Mr. Simon applied to the Court to have a cotAculell

by the police. The application was refused.
ell
M'Auley was then committed, and Sirre
mantled to Friday next.
After the county magistrates retired, Dlr. nipo#

of hearing and determining upon the case 11/ Or
M'Guire and Sirrell, but on the application for

for a formal commital, so that he might apply
