and asked for coffee. He went out, as it was not ready, and
came in twenty minutes after. He saw a policeman passing,
and he turned his face away- from him, then pulled out a
penny, threw it down, and went away again. The witness
was directed to look round and see if she could identify the
person. She.could not, and Mr. Clive at once directed that
her evidence should be struck out.

John Robert Davies, a pawnbroker's assistant, produced a
dress coat pledged at 4 o'clock on the 30th of April, the day
after the murder. It was pledged by the prisoner in the name
of John Watt.. There were stains upon the sleeve, but did
not think they were those of blood. .
William Cumming, sergeant, 3 D, was then called, and his
evidence was read over to him. It simply stated that the
prisoner. had surrendered. himself at the Marylebone station,
and made a statement in which he denied that he had at all
gone upon thebridge wit . the female, and that his daughter
Augusta was the only witness who had spoken truth.
Mr. Gosling was then, recalled, and identified several letters
as some of those he had received from the deceased's brother,
Andrews. Among them were those marked 12 and 13.
Augusta Dames proved them to be in her father's hand-
writing. . .
The letters were then read. The first was addressed to
his "ardently-beloved Sarah," and concluded "Your affec-
tionate husband, Augustus Dalmas." The second was signed
"Your most affectionate, A. D." They contained references
to his daughters, and a desire that the deceased would meet
him at a place appointed, that he might introduce hes to.
"Dr. Morrison as a most respectable widow, and who ,was
acquainted with the most religious persons in Battersea." •
Charlotte, the prisoner's eldest daughter, was then called
in, and briefly confirmed her evidence taken on the last
occasion.

All the witnesses, thirty-two in number, were then called
in and sworn, when the evidence was read over seriatim.
On reading over the evidence, of the witness Cook, and
where he stated that " he had told the potman at the Swan
that he had on the same night (the night of the murder)
seen a man (Mimes), who had said that a woman had cut
her throat upon the bridge," .
Mr. CLIVE asked what was the man named to whom the
communication had been made, and being answered Good-
child, directed that he should be called as a witness at the
Old Bailey.
After the witnesses had been bound over to attend at the
trial,
_ _

Cuv asked the prisoner if he had anything to say in
defence? _ _

. -
Mr. Gilham said that his client, by his advice, had deter.
mined to reserve any defence for another court. •
The prisoner was then removed.

As we anticipated yesterday the general body of the Court
of Proprietors of Bank Stock accepted the terms of the Pre-
mier for the renewal of the Charter of the Corporation. The
opposition offered by only three parties out of so large a Pro-
prietary as those who hold Bank Stock can scarcely
be considered as having any weight at. all, and
indeed, if the Governor had early in the day ex-
pressed his strong opinion upon the impossibility of
having better Anne, it is probable that even Mr. Cook and
Mr.. Blackburn -would not have offered
,the slightest objec-
tion to the motion for accepting the terms of Government.
As it is the proprietary,,and indeed the public at large, may
congratulate themselves upon the first step being taken for
placing the currency:of the country upon what may be eon-
sidered a sound foundation. .
The West India body are again in the field, as strongly as
heretofore, in favour of protection to their monopoly. ,They
are about to petitiou the Legislature against any alteration,
in the duties on sugar, coffee, and cocoa, unless thepresent rate
of import is diinimshedpro rata with that of foreign growth. To
the general body ofconsurners of thoSe articles, it matters not
how low the duty is, but after having received twenty mil-
lions sterling, it is rather too bad that the planters and mer-
chants interested in the British West India Colonies should in
the lilesent_ day boldly come forward to ask further conces-
sions In their favour. •
