THE FRIMLEY MURDER.

GUILDFORD, WEDNESDAY.—SamueI Harwood, one
of the parties charged with being concerned in the
murder of the Rev. G..E. Holiest, was brought up for
re-examination this morning at the House of Correc-
tion, pursuant to adjournment from Friday last.
Mr. Best, chairman of the bencb, presided, and Mr.
Gib.on, another local magistrate, was present.
Mr. Neale, solicitor, of Guildford, attended to watch
the case for the prisoner.
Before any evidence was adduced some conversa-
tion took place, from which it appeared that the cord
cap produced on a previous day, and stated to belong
to the Frimley Union-house, was not the property of
that establishment. It was made of a better and finer
material than was used by the paupers, and there was
overy reason to believe that it really belonged to Levi
Harwood. It was also stated that the master of the
boy, who had sworn to seeing the prisoner Smith ex-
amining some pistols at Blackmarl's marine storeshop,
in Guildford, would be ready to corroborate/the lad's
evidence if required.
Joseph Plank, a labouring man, was the first wit-
ness examined. He knew the prisoner Samuel Har-
wood well, and recollected meeting him, about seven
o'clock, on the morning after the murder, on
Stringer's-common. He was going towards Guild-
ford, and spoke to witness as he paned. He wore a
blouse and light trousers. He had no basket or
bundle with him.

John Finch produced the cap abovQ alluded to,
which was found about three miles from Frimley,
on the nad to Guildford.
The prisoner—Am I allowed to speak ?
The Chairman—You must wait until the witness
has done.

The prisoner, who evidently understood it was
intended to prove the cap to have been his own, here
exclaimed, "I never wore such a thing in my life."
A young man here proved that he had seen Levi
Harwood and Jones in conversation with Samuel
Harwood several times, shortly before the murder, at
a farm where Samuel Harwood was employed.

After a short pause, the Chairman, addressing the
prisoner, asked him whether he had anything to say
why he should not stand committed to take his trial ?
The prisoner—No, Sir, I know nothing.
The Chairman—Oh, you don't, don't you ? Then
I commit you.
The prisoner—l am committed innocent if you do.
That's all I've got to say.
Mr. Neale here applied to see the token found upon
the prisoner Junes. He had a witness he wished to
call in reference to it.

The Chairman said the application was extremely
irregular. The token had already been produced,
at ,d fully described, and that ought to ba sufficient.
Ho reminded Mr. Neale that at one of the early exa-
minations Jones had said that he had witnesses to
call in reference to this coin, and he had had plenty of
time to do so if he wished.

Mr. Neale observed, that if Jones had said so, it
must have been at one of the private examinations,
when both the representatives of the press and hith-
self were excluded.

Superintendent Hollington here informei Mr.
Best, that when he first went to Mr. Hollest's house
he was told that among the property stolen were
several remarkable copper coins, in consequence of
which he examined the copper money in the till of the
Rose and Crown beer-shop, where the prisoners were
taken into custody. He remembered that one of the
penny pieces had something stamped upon it ; he
thought the name of " Lloyd." It was only subse-
quently that he had received a description of the
stolen coins, one of which exactly corresponded with
the token found upon Jones. One was a Birming-
ham token, and a third was e, penny with the name of
" Lloyd" stamped upon it. On his return to the
Rose and Crown, in order to search for the latter coin,
he found it had disappeared.

The Chairman (addressing the prisoner) here said
—I find there are so many circumstances of sus-
picion against you in connexion with the parties
already committed, that I feel it my duty to commit
you also.
Mr. Neale—Do you commit the prisoner for the
murder?
The Chairman—He stands committed like the rest.
The parties who frame the indictment will see that
the charge is properly laid against him.
Mr. Neale here drew attention to the fact, that the
dress of Samuel Harwood had bee❑ very differently
described by the several witnesses who had given de-
positions on the subject.
The Chairman said that was perfectly possible.
The present was a very different thing from a trifling
case in which such an objection might have some
weight. Having given his best consideration to the
case in all its bearings, he felt it his duty, proceeding
cm the depositions, to commit the prison,,r for trial.
The prisoner was then removed, and a warrant for
his committal to the county gaol havihg been duly
signed, he was conveyed this evening to Kingston.
[ln thus elosing the record of the first official act
of this dreadful tragedy, N ve are deeply pained to add,
that the unfortunate widow of the deceased, vvhose
courageous conduct had. well nigh saved the life of
her husband on the night of the murder, is left, by
the calamity, with two youthful sons, totally unpro-
vided for. A small cottage, near the vicarage is now
being fitted up for her reception—the anticipated
arrival of the successor to the deceased rendering it
necessary that she should vacate her present resi-
dence.

The residence of the Ladies Bernard, 1, Royal-
parade, Cheltenham, was forcibly entered on Wednesday
evening, while the inmates were asleep, but the only articles
removed were the vbetantiale of the larder.
