THE OLERKENWELL OUTRAGE.

EXAMINATION OF THE CONSPIRATORS
BOW-STREET—THIS DAY.
The prisoners, Timothy Desmond, William Des-
mond, Jeremiah Allen, Nicholas English, John
O'Keefe, and Ann Justice were again placed at the
bar, charged with wilful murder.
The prisoners were brought to the Court in the
prison van guarded by mounted police, and the
precautions taken in the Court seined to be much
increased. The number of constables on duty was
greater, and they were all armed with revolvers.
Although the attendance of the public in court
was very limited, owing no doubt t,) the trouble of
obtaining admission, the atten lance of noblemen
and gentlemen on the bench was greater than usual.
Amongst these present were—the Duke of Man-
chester, Lord henry Lennox, Lord Gordon Lennox,
Lord W'rotteslcy, and General Peel.
Mr. Giffard, QC., and M.r. Poland appeared on
the part of the Crown to prosecute ; ',Nix. Lewis
appeared for 0.K9.3fc.;
and Mr. harper for Timothy
Desmond.
Mr. Giffard informed the magistrate that from
certain facts that had come to his knowledge since
the last examination it had been thought right to
include the prisoner O'Keefe in the charge of wilful
murder.
Sir T. Henry—Very well. O'Keefe, are you pro-
vided with legal assistance ?
Mr. Lewis—l appear for him.
The following evidence was then taken
:
Richard Willes said--I live at No. 6, Hull-street.
On the evening of the explosion I was coming along
Corporation-row. I then saw some men near a
barrel. There was something sticking out of the
barrel which burnt blue. One of the men leaned
over the bartel and laughed. I stood and looked
at it for some time, and then the men appeared to
come towards me. The man, however, nearest the
barrel looked at me and laughed. To the best of
my belief the prisoner (O'Keefe) was the man lean-
ing over the barrel:
O'Keefe—What, me ?
Witness—Yes.
Examination continued—There were some other
persons near the barrel, amongst them a woman and
some boys. The man near the barrel had on a
brown coat and a wide-awake hat. I saw the
barrel near the spot, and on it there was some black
oilcloth. When 1 got up to the barrel the light
burning in it went out. At the back of the truck
I saw the words "To let." 1 did not think much
more about the matter.
By Mr. Lewis —lt was the beginning of last
week that I first spoke of this matter. Two parties
came—one I know was from the City police. Prior
to that I had spoken of the matter to Mr. Spittal,
the City detective. I told him of the circumstance
about a fortnight ago. My mother, I believe, first
mentioned the matter to some person, and then to
Inspector Potter and Mr. Spittal.
Mr. Lewis—When was the first time you men-
tioned the matter to any one ?
Witness—On the Monday.
Mr. Lewis—And why not before ?
Witness—Because I did not want to be mixed
up in the affair.
By Mr. Poland—l cannot say why 1 particularly
noticed the prisoner I have pointed out. I suppose
it was because he looked at me and laughed.
Thomas Reeves Clifford—l lived at No. 11, Cor-
poration-row before the explosion. lam a warder in
the House of Detention. I left duty that day a
few minutes before four, and went home. After I
had arrived I want to the window and looked into
the street. I then saw three men with a truck,
upon which there was a barrel. Two men
were drawing the truck, and the third
was walking on the pavement to the left
of the others. I saw a barrel on the truck covered
over with a tarpaulin. All three men appeared to
have been drinking, as they were all laughing and
smoking.
Mr. Giffard—Did you notice the men parti-
cularly ?
Witness —Yes.
Mr. Giffard—Do you see any of them present?
Witness—Yes; Allen is the man who walked on
the pavement, and I think English and Timothy
Desmond were the men drawing the truck ; but I
cannot swear to them. The cask appeared to be one
of 36 gallons.
Sir T. Henry—Allen, do you wish to ask the
witness any questions ?
Allen—l should like to know how he became ac-
quainted with my name ?
IVitness—By coming here the last examination,
and also from your being in the House of Deten-
tion.
Allen—Who did you speak about me first to ?
Witness—To Mr. Hudson, of the Treasury, when
- he was taking evidence.
Allen—After you had heard the evidence in this
Court ?
Witness—No, it was not.
Allen-1 suppose it was then after you had read
the papers ?
Witness—No, I have not time to read the news-
papers. I now think it was to the Governor of the
House of Detention on the Mouday after the ex-
plosion that I first mentioned the matter, and he it
was who wrote to the Treasury.
Sir T. Ilenry—When did you first see Allen
of ter the explosion?
Witness—At this court. 1 had seen him on the
night of the explosion in the prison, but I did not
notice him very particularly then.
Ann Gillies—At the time of the explosion I lived
at No. 3, St. James's-buildings. On the night
before the explosion I met that person (O'Keefe)
about 10 o'clock in Woodbridge-street.
O'Keefe—What, me ?
Witness—Yes,
you, walking towards me, near
Aylesbury-street.
Examination continued.—lt was near the gas
lamp, and I saw the prisoner's features. He wore a
high hat, and had on a dark coat and light
trowsers.
Mr. Lewis—What colour was the coat?
Witness—l cannot say. It was night. It was
either blue or black. It was not a brown one.
Mr. Lewis—And that you will swear ?
Wituess—Yes.
Ambrose Sutton, recalled—The day before the
explosion, to the best of my belief, I saw O'Keefe
near the House of Detention between 3 and 4
o'clock. He passed through Short's-buildings into
Rosoman-street, near Corporation-row. lie was

alone.
Mr. Lewis—lou have been examined before ;
why did you not ,mention this matter before ?
Sir T. Henry—O'Keefe has not been charged
with wilful murder before to-day.
Witness—l saw the prisoner first in Vine-street,
and it was there I identified hint.
Walter Holgate, a lad about 14 years of age, said
—I work at the greengrocer's at the corner of Roso-
with Chas. Mosely
prison was blown up.
ininacn
0- srtproereat.tiolniieicaonlel etef porlaeytihneg
I was running round the building to keep myself
warm. When I came round the second time I saw
a barrel on the pavement and a truck iu the road.
It looked like a parratline barrel.
Mr. Gifford—How do you know that ?
Witness—Because I've seen them in carts and
at shop doors.
Mr. Giffard
—You wanted to roll the barrel
about?
IVitn ess —Yes. Some of the boys said, " Let us
roll it about," but I said no, the man will come. It
was about three o'clock.
Mr. Giffard—llow do you know that ?
Witness—Because I got home late to my dinner,
and got a good scolding for it.
Mr. Giffard—Do . you recollect playing at cat
the next day, the day when the explosion occurred,
with Charley Mosely ?
Witness—Yes, and with Taylor and Gillies in St.
James's-buildings. It was in the afternoon, a little
after three. Mosely left us to go up stairs to his
home to see the prisoners go round. When the
explosion took place I was sitting on a basket at my
master's door, and I was then blown on my face.
John Smith, another little boy, said—l am nine
years old, and live at No. 6, Northampton-buildings,
Clerkenwell. My father is a printer, and works at
Spottiswoode'o. Un FridtlY, the day o the explo:

Sion, I was at play with Tom Wheeler. He's now
in the hospital. He had his thumb and finger
blown off, and his neck cut. We were playing in
Corporation-lane. I saw a barrel, like a paraffine
barrel, close to the prison wall. I saw a man near
the barrel, and he tried to light 4 squib which was
sticking out of it, but as it wouldn't burn
he took it out and threw it into the middle of the
road. I picked it up. The squib was in a round
hole in the barrel, which had a bit of white cloth
over it. The squib was in the top of the barrel
facing the houses. After I had picked up the squib
a woman toll me to go away. I afterwards saw a
man from the corner of the court throw the man a
hoc of matche3. I ran away with the squib down
to the Jolly Coopers. The box of matches was
thrown to the man at the barrel after I hal picked
up the squib. I saw the man put a second squib
in the barrel, but I did'at see it lighted. A woman
said to me, " My dear boy, you had botter go aw,ly,

's dangdrous."

Mr. Lewis objected to that being entered on the

depositions.
Sir T. Henry—lt is evidence. It accounts for
the boy running away after he hid hem cautioned.
You can object to it at the trial if you think
proper.

Examination continued—After I had got th e
squib I ran down to the Jolly Coopers, where I
dropped it. I had got to the prison wall, when
I was blown up to the. Jolly Coopers, and that
made me drop the squib. I wasn't hurt.
Richard Maskell—l am a warder in the House of
Detention. On the 12th of December I took out
between 80 and 90 prisoners to exercise at half-past
three in the afternoon. We led out at a quarter
past three and led in at a quarter past four. I was
a quarter late that day in consequence of having to
let the prisoners out. Amongst them to take out
was a prisoner named Richard Burke. The pri-
soners walk round and round a paved path in the
form of .rings. After I had been walking round
and round I noticed Burke more particularly.
Mr. Lewis—l must object to that. It cannot be
evidence against the prisoner.
Sir T. Henry—Yea it is, if it's a fact.
Mr. Giffard—l propose to show the motive of the
explosion.
Examination continued—After the clock had
struck half-past four the prisoner Burke fell out of
the rank at the wall near Woodbridge-street. He
pulled off his boot and knocked it against the wall
as if to get a stone out. He wiped his.boot with
his hand, and then put it on again, at which time
he was looking up at the house in Corporation-lane.
He put his boot on very slowly. Having done so,
he fell in in the rank again, and went round with
the other prisoners ?
By Mr. Harper—lt was an hour after the explo-
sion that I again visited the yard.
Mr. Harper—Was not the prison struck with the
bricks, and would not they have cleared the yard of
the whole of the prisoners.
Witness—Yes, some portion of the prison was
hit, but the place at which Burke sat down was not
touched at all. There were no indented marks on
the wall near which he stood, neither were there
any bricks lying about where Burke had fallen out.
James Cape—l am a warder at the House of De-
tention. On Thursday afternoon, the 12th, I was
out in the exercising yard with the last witness
(Haskell) at about half-past three. There were
about 80 prisoners exercising. Burke was one of
those prisoners, and he was under my charge.
Something was thrown over the wall while I was
there. This would be a few minutes after four. A
white ball came over the wall at the point near
Corporation-row. The ball fell near my feet. I
caught it as it rebounded. I put that ball in my
pocket, and the next day after I gave it to my
children. I believe 1 have now the very ball in my
I pocket. _

Sir T. Henry—Produce the ball.
The witness here placed a white Indiarubber ball
on the desk.
Mr. Poland—Where did you get that from?
Witness—From the ruins of my house which was
destroyed by the explosion.
Sir T. Henry—Could Casey have gone into the
yard in which Burke was ?
Witness—Yes, he could then ; but a wall has
been built up at that point since the explosion.
Mr. Poland—Were the prisoners being exercised
in the other yard at the same time that Burke was in
the other ?
Witness—Yes, and Casey was one of them.
Sir T. Henry directed Inspector Thujnson to take
charge of the ball.
[lt will be recollected that one of the lads on a
former examination spoke to having seen one of the
prisoners throw a white ball over the wall of the
prison the day before the explosion.]
Maskel 1 was recalled, and, in answer to Mr.
Giffard, said—lt was about two minutes after four
when Burke fell out of the rank. He reported the
matter to the chief warder. He knew that to be
the time, as the prisoners had just been reversed,
which is always done as the clock strikes four.
James M'Ewen, 5, Gladstone-terrace, Channel-
row, Peckham, a clerk in the employ of Curtis
and Harvey, 74, Lombard-street, gunpowder ma-
nufacturers, said--On Wednesday, the 4th of Dec.,
a man called at our office and asked if we could
supply him with 50 pounds of powder next day.
He said he wauted blasting powder. I told him he
could not have it the next day, but he could the
one following. He' went away, saying that he
would ask his partner if that would do. He came
back again the same day, and said he could increase
the order to 200 lbs, and it would do if he had it on
the Friday. The order was then taken in the re-
gular way. The address to which it was to be de-
livered was " George Smith, 8, Pulteney-court,
Silver-street." Tha powder was sent by a man
named Purchase on the Friday. It was sent in
four half barrels. It was to be paid for on de-

livery.
Mr. Giffard—Look carefully at the prisoners, and
tell me if you recognise any of them.
Witness—l cannot recognise any of them.
William Purchase—l live at Hounslow. I am a
carman in the service of Messrs. Harvey, gunpow-
der manufacturers. On Friday, the 6th of D,:cem-
ber, I delivered four half barrels (of 501bs. each) of
powder to " Mr. G. Smith, 8, Pulteney-court,
Silver-street." I took the van with the pw-
der to the end of the court, and then I went
to No. 8, which is a greengrocer's shop, kept
by a Mrs. Martin, and inquired for Mr. Smith. The
little girl. called " Mr. Smith" downstairs. Ho
came through the open door into the shop, and I
then said, " Are you Mr. Smith?" He said,.
"Yes," and I then said, "I've got four parcels of
gunpowder for you ; are you a ware of it ?" and he
said " Yes." I was standing at the shop door at
this time. I said, " Where will you have 'em ?"
He said, " One moment, and I'll be with you."
When I first went I saw Mrs. Martin in the shop,
and she called to the little girl. She was serving
her customers whilst I was talking to the man.
This person went with me to the tail of the van,
and put one of the barrels on my shoulder
and said, " Follow me." I followed him
back to No. 8. We went down the
passage into a back-yard. He told me to put the
barrel in the corner of it. I did so. I then said,
" Where will you have the others ?" and he said,
" All right ; I'll find a conveyance for those." I
I returned through the passage to the van, and
when I got there I found a man standing there
with a truck. I put the three half barrels into
the truck, and the man I knew as Smith covered
them over with a bit of tarpaulin. I shut the
van up and then the man (Smith) said to the person
with the truck, " All right, you know where to
take them," and the man then drew the truck in the
direction of Golden-square. I then said, " I re-
quire the money now, if you please," but he replied
" What did I do with the receipt." I re-
minded him that he had left it in the
shop. Ho went in and asked Mrs. Mar-
tin where he had put the paper. She told him,
and then she gave it to him from a shelf. He again
walked up the court with me to the tail of the van,
and then he paid me the amount, £3 7s. 6d. He
said, " I'm aware I must not keep more than half a
cwt. of powder on the premises, but I know where
to put the other." When he said this he was at the
bottom of tbc court, and thQ truck had gone off. It

was about half-past ten to eleven in the morning
when the powder was delivered.
. Mrs. Janet Crawford was then called, but not
being in attendance, Mr. Giffard said he must ask
for another remand.

Sir T. Henry—Very well. The prisoners must
be remanded for a week.

Timothy Desmond, Nicholas English, O'Keefe,
and Muflatly v►ere then examined on a charge of
treason-felony. .

Daniel Barclay, said—l live at 6, Pollen•street,
Hanover-square, and am a tai'or. I hold aiease of
the Temperance Ball, 6, Pollen-street. In the
month of May I let the hall to a person calling him-
self Father O'Connor. lie hal all the appearance
of a priest. I was introluced to him by the pri-
soner Engl:sli. English told me he was Father
O'Connor, and the prisoner told me the lecture that
was to be d,liv red wis for a charitable purpose.
Father O'Connor sail the c Alection would be de-
voted to the building of a church in Ireland. English
was present' during the whole conversation. Father
O'Connor, I think, said Templemore was the place
where the church was to be built. I asked how
the people were to be admitted into the hall? He
said he did not know ; but, if there was time, he
should have bills and tickets printed. Father
O'Connor said he was about to deliver other lec-
tures on the same subject in other parts
of the• town. Ile asked me the rent
of the hall, and I told him ss. for
the evening. Nothing further took place beyond
his telling me he should deliver his lecture there the
following Sunday evening at eight o'clock. On
Sunday evening I lit the gas and opened the
doors. I saw several persons come in, and also
saw tickets and bills. English I saw was standing
near the entrance doer. I suppose ho was there for
taking tickets. Just as the proceedings com-
menced I went in, and I then heard the
chairman say, " You know what we have
met for is to collect funds to build a church. As I
passed out of the hall I heard the clergyman intro-
duced to the- meeting, and the applause which fol.
lowed. I heard a few of the opening words of the
lecturer. I mean Father O'Connor. I think he
said something the same as the chairman—viz., that
he was there to collect funds to build a church.
Mr. Mullhny (the prisoner) was at the hall. I
noticed that gentleman because he came into
my parlour to get some water. The hall
is the next door to the public-house
kept by Mrs. Kavanagh. I have seen
the prisoner O'Keefe ence before in the Temperance
Hall, but some time ago. The hall will hold 130
persons, and on the occasion of the lecture it was
nearly full. Numbers kept on arriving and going
out again.

By Mr. Lewis—Any person could have entered

the hall and heard the lecture that felt disposed.
There was nothing that I saw that tended to
keep any person out. I did not see O'Keefe
at the lecture, but I will not say he
was not there. I only heard the few opening words
of Father O'Connor. They were as near as I can
remember, "We have met here to. raise funds to
build a church." I did not hear him use the
words " High Church." There was no applause
after the word " church," it was all before he
began.
By Mr. Harper—Father O'Connor only had one
meeting.
Sir T. Henry—lf there were tickets how could
anybody go in that liked ?
•
Witness—Well, I thought they could.

Mr. Giffard—lf English was there to see that no

person went in without a ticket, how can you say
any person that felt disposed could go iu without
one ?

Witness—Well, I thought it was quite an open
meeting.
Dlullany—Didn't I come to you in your parlour
for two plates ?
Witness—Well, it might be so.
Sr T. Henry—Two plates, as I understand, to
receive the money collected ?

Witness—Yes, I suppose so ; but it is so lot

ago.
Mr. Giffard—You have said something about a
tailors' meeting. \Vas it held after the lecture ?
Witness—Oh, no, not the same night. It was
some time after.
John Thorn, No. 8, Pollee-street, Hanover-
square —I am a carpenter. The prisoner English
lived in the same house as I do, and I have seen him
from time to time go into Kavanagh's public-house,
" the Lion and French Horn." I know Mullany.
I have likewise seen him visit that house. I recol-
lect some months back being at Mr. Barclay's, No.
6, Pollen-street, painting and papering his parlour.
It must have been about May last. One afternoon
Mr. English came to the door ; he had another gentle -
man with him. Mr. English asked if Mr. Barclay was
within. I told him he was, and then Barclay came.
English said, " This gentleman wants to engage
your hall." I left them all together, and went
away. I did not hear the name of the gentleman
who wished to engage the hall. He had a long
black coat on.

Sir T. Henry—Like a clergyman ?
Witness—lt was something like that.
Mr. Giffard—That is all the evidence I propose
to offer to-day in this case.

Sir T. Henry—Then the prisoners must stand
remanded for a week.
