Michael Skaife,. of the Liverpool detective police,
on the Gth of September, 1865, had received
information which lei him to go to a Mrs. Black-
more's, Salisbury-street: In the house he found
veral bottles containing a hini I, sine of whiet
falling upon his clotnes caused th.nn at once to
burst into a flame.

Inspector Horne, who had accompanied the hat
witness, corroborated his evidence. The bottles were
found placed in tubs of water. When poured on
cotton the liquid itnua,,,diately set it on fire. When
one of the b)ttles waa tarowa ag Liast a wall it
caused a flame Si great that a hose hal to ba em-
ployed to extinguish it.

who was executed at .thaehester, at the sane

place.

Dr. Davis had examined the bottles spoken of by
the last two witnesses, and found they contained
what was called Greek fire.

A member of the Irish constabulary, named
Morrisey, remembered the seizure of two packages
containing rifles from a vessel at Cork, and his
evidence was borne out by the resident magistrate
who had caused the boxes to ba broken open. He
marked one of the Enfield rifles, which was
now produced and identified by Mr. Kynoch
as being one that had passed through his
hands, and similar to those sold to Burke. The
packages were addressed to T. Daly and Co.
On M.r.Daly being called, he stated he was a draper
and wholesaleafurniture dealer. The goo Is in ques-
tion were not ordered by him, nor had he given
authority to any one to order them.
The shipment of the two packages, addressed to
J. Daly and Co., in the, Halcy4.,n, was proved by a
clerk at the Nelson Dock, LiVerpool.
• A member of the firm of Cooke and Townsend,
of Liverpool, in whose name the packages were
shipped, denied all knowledge of them.
Evidence was 'then given by various lodging-
house keepers for the purpose of further identify-
ing Burke, and proving the terms of intimacy upon
which he had lived with men now known to have
been members of the Fenian Brotherhood.
