THE EXHIBITION OF 1851.

Not the least wonderful part of the Exhibition
which is to be opened next year will b 3 the edifice
within which the specimens of the industry of all
nations are to he collected. Its magnitude, the
celerity with which it is to be constructed, and the
materials of which it is to be composed, all combine
to insure for it a large share of that attention which
the Exhibition is likely to attract, and to render its
progress a metter of great public interest. A build-
ing designed to cover 752,832 superficial feet, and to
have an exhibiting surface of about twenty-one acres,
to be roofed in and handed over to the Commissioners
within little more than three months from its com-
mencement, to be constructed almost entirely of glass
and iron, the most fragile and the strongest of work-
ing materials, to combine the lightness of a conserva-
tory with the stability of oar most permanent
structures—such a building will naturally excite
much curiosity as to the mode in which the works
connected with it are conducted, and the advances
which are made towards its completion. Enchanted
palaces that grow up in a night are confined to fairy
land, and in this material world of ours the labours
of the bricklayer and the carpenter are
notoriously never ending. It took 300 years to
build St. Peter's at Rome, and thirty to complete
our own St. Paul's. The New Palace of West-
minister has already been fifteen years in hand, and
is still unfinished. We run up houses, it is true,
quickly enough in this country, but if there be a
touch of magic in the time occupied, there is none in
the appearance of so much stucco and brick-work as
our streets exhibit. Something very different from
this is promised for the great edifice in Hyde-park.
Not only is it to rise with great rapidity, but in every
other respect is to be suggestive of Arabian Nights'
remembrances. In its favourthe window law is to be
ignored, and 900,000 superficial feet of glass, weigh-
ing upwards of 400 tons, are to be used in its construc-
tion. Not a stone nor a brick will be employed
throughout the spacious structure, which is to rest
upon 3,300 cast iron columns, and to be strengthened
and kept together by 2,224 girders of the same ma-
terial. The plan of it which has been published re-
presents an edifice in every respect qualified to be-
come the repository of specimens of the world's in-
dustry ; the basement and two upper tiers diminish-
ing in area as they ascend, and thus securing a
graceful variety of outline, while the monotonous
effect of a façade 1,848 feet long is broken by a
spacious transept. This transept, •=4OB feet long
and 72 feet • wide, will be arched, and will ^rise
to the height of 108 feet, inclosing with-
in it, as in a glass case, a row of trees, which respect
for the park timber has induced the Commissioners to
spore. The roof of the entire building, resting on the
cast iron girders, will be what is technically called
" ridge and valley," and will look like an undulating
sea, the whole being covered with canvas to exclude
the rays of the summer sun and prevent any inconve-
nience arising from excessive heat. This will be the
case in every part of the structure except the transept,
where the presence of trees render light necessary,
and where, therefore, the arched glass roof will remain
uncovered. When closed in and completed, the view
presented by the interior will, it is anticipated, be won-
derfully graceful and splendid. The central avenue,
1,848 feet long, 72 feet broad, and 66 feet high, with
rows of pillars shooting off from it on either side, and
•so arranged that the eye can traverse freely to every
part of the building, must have a very grand appear-
ance. Care has been taken to have the columns upon
which the whole fabric rests distributed with such re-
gularity that no confusion or forest-like effect can be
produ
ced by them. It will be the same in all the
avenues as in the central one, although there, from its
proportions and the entire absence of galleries or upper
flooring to break the perspective, the view presented
will
be mostesidesth imposing.e
immense spice thus devoted to the ge-
neral purposes of the Exhibition, there will be on the
north side of the building a room set apart for the re-
ception of machinery. The dimensions of this apart-
ment are on a scale proportionate to the important
branch of inventive' industry to which it is to be de-
(Heated. It will be 946 feet long, 48 feet broad, and
24 feet high. Another feature of the building will
be the refrushment courts, which, in accordance with
the aristocratic spirit of the country, are to be divided

nto three classes. Those whose means and tastes

incline them to patronise the first will discuss the de-
licacies of the season under the branches of the trees
which occupy thrtiorth end Of the transept; those
whose habits of life are less ambitious, or whose pa-
lates are less discriminating, must move westward;
while for the crowd of humble visitors the requisite
accommodation will be provided on the north-east
side of the building.
To enter into further details with reference to the
interior plan would needlessly complicate this descrip-
tion, and would he inappropriate at present. It may,
however, be right to mention that while from north
to south and across the breadth of the structure the
flooring will be perfectly level, from west to east it
will be slightly inclined, like the stage of a theatre,
though not of course to the same extent. This, it is be-
lieved, will add much to the effect of the interior, by en-
abling visitors at the lower end to see almost at a
glance over the whole edifice. Though from north to
south the flooring will be quite horizontal, the land
slopes a little, and this enables the architect to give
the building on that side the appearance of a raised
foundation, which will be faced with green sod. The
advantage of this to the external beauty of the prin-
cipal facade it is almost unnecessary to point out. A
light iron railing will inclose the building at a dis-
tance of eight feet from its exterior, and beyond that
there will be a footpath. The grand entrance will be
nearly opposite the Prince's gateway, and will bare
seven pairs of doors. Ample arrangements have been
made, however, for the entry and exit of visitors at
other points. The exterior surfaces on the first or
ground tier will not be of glass, but of wood, for the
purpose of greater security, and also to afford a wall
space for such articles as require to be hung up in
order to be seen to advantage. To enumerate in de-
tail all that this great undertaking embraces would be
an endless and perhaps rather a tedious task, but some
conception of the work to be performed may be
gathered from this—that the calculations of Messrs.
Fox, Henderson, and Co., the contractors, estimate,
among other requisites, 34 miles of gutters, 202 miles
of sash leers, and 8 miles of table for exhibiting.
Turning from the building as it is to he to what
has already been performed, it will be found that con-
siderable progress has been made. It is now a month
exactly since the actual work of construction com-
menced. In that time the foundation pieces on which
tie columns rest have nearly all been fixed upon their
beds of concrete, and the earth filled in around them.
The columns required for a large section of the
southern and central parts of the building have been
put up and connected together by girders. The
framework begins to indicate the form of the future
structure, just as the ribs and bones of the mammoth
at the British Museum shadow forth what the animal
must have been when alive. The graduated outlines
of the structure ascending tier above tier, the cathe-
dral-like effect of the transept, and the long extended
avenues and rows of slender pillars, branching off sym-
metrically on either side of them, can already be dis-
cerned. Sleepers and joists for the flooring have
been laid in one or two parts, and one small piece
of window framing has been fixed in its place.
The external facing of the ground tier has been
commenced, and while the framework of about
one-third of the structure is in a forward state nearly
every detail of the work has been begun. Messrs.
Fox and Henderson have already one small crane es-
tablished on the girders for hoisting up materials,
and in a few days theywill have several more. The
rapidity with which the building progresses may be
estimated from the fact, that two columns and three
girders can be fixed in about fifteen minutes. While
the actual labour of construction proceeds a vast
amount of preparatory work goes on simultaneously.
Nearly all the wooden arches required to span
the transept are completed. Sash bar, window-
frames, intermediate bearers and gutters, are got
ready by hundreds of workmen under sheds, formed
hastily of floor planking. The hydraulic press is at
work testing the strength of girders, and a few fires
are lighted to prepare the wrought iron bolts by
which the columns are made fast to the connecting
pieces between them. Piles of material of every kind

the number must be raised to
1,500. No difficulty is found by the contractors in
prJcuring the requisite supplies either of material
or labour. The iron work is all brought from Bir-
mingham, where it is prepared by Messrs. Fox and
Henderson, assisted by two other houses. One firm
furnishes the whole amount of glass required. The
timber used is from the Baltic, and of excellent qua-
lity. A portion of it is prepared at mills taken for
the purpose at Chelsea, and the rest on the grounds.
When the weather is wet, this part of the work,
which is carried on under cover, is pushed forward.
When it is dry the fixing of columns and girders is
proceeded with. Gas has been laid on in the grounds,
and the toils of the day are continued frequently as
late as eleven o'clock at night. Within a commodious
set of offices the heads of departments regulate the

work and prescribe the division of labour to be pur-
sued. Here, too, a room has been established for
draughting plans of the building, in conformity with
which it is to be completed. A considerable
par-
I tion of the work is done by the piece, and no diffi-
culty is found in procuring any amount of hands
that may from time to time be required. Every
morning they assemble in great numbers at the en-
trance ready for employment, and when engaged
they turn out very efficient workmen. Such a sup-
ply must be regarded as one of the most important
feeilirks which a great city like London presents
for the execution of an undertaking like this. An
i.,genious system of cheques by means of variously
shaped brass tokens has been introduced to determine
the number of hours per day for which each man has
been occupied, and the remuneration to which he is
entitled. The whole husine: s of the contractors seems
to be carried on in the most systematic and orderly
manner; and what is very remark able is the little
noise or bustle with which the work proceeds. When
the materials of which the building are chiefly com•
posed are recollected this will be the more easily un-
derstood. Nearly everything is brought on the
ground ready to be put up, and the loudest sound
that reaches the ear is the occasional clink of a ham•
mer " closing rivets up.." Over so large a space the
noise of labour is lost, and the building rises almost as
silently as did Solomon's temple.
The contractors still speak with perfect confidence
of their ability to construct and roof in the whole
before New Year's-day. They have within the last
month done a good deal, but in the two that still re-
main to them they will find their energies fully,
taxed to do all that still remains to be accom-
plished. If within the limits of time prescribed to
them they succeed in carrying out so extensive
and elaborate a plan as that which they at pre-
sent contemplate, they will merit the utmost praise ;
but before even the letter of their contract the safety
of the public must be placed, and we do trust that
every precaution will be adopted to prevent the possi-
bility of accidents hereafter. Of late years many
circumstances have occurred to shake the confidence
which was at first reposed in iron structures. Sus-
pension bridges and railway termini have been giving
way and falling in from comparatively slight causes
—the smallest defect in a part,
.the snapping of a rod,
or the shaking of a pillar, by disturbing the distribu-
tion of forces, often brings down the whole fabric.
The new building in Hyde•park is a novelty in archi-
tecture—and a novelty upon a grand scale. It is to
be provided with' many galleries, where specimens of
industry will be exhibited, and where, therefore,
crowds of visitors will assemble to inspect. Consi-
dering the materials used, therefore, it is most hn-
portant that every care should be taken to insure the
safety of these galleries. Messrs. lox and Hender-
son say that they have adopted every precaution in
this respect, and that their calculations of strength
are such as to render an accident from the crowding
of spectators impossible. 'We trust that it may be
so, and we think it due to them to state that a minute
examination of the progress already made in the work
has impressed us with a high sense of the efficient,
orderly, and expeditious manner in which it is carried
on. This is the more remarkable when the novel
character of the structure is remembered, that novelty
removing it out of the routine habits of those engaged
in the labour of construction.

e
gers had a general cargo valued at 2 000 dollars. All
went on well until the evening of Thusday las., when
the Gunfleet lights were sighted, and, by a fatal error,
were supposed to be the South Foreland lights. The
ship's course was steered under this impression, when,
at nine o'clock, the night being dark and rainy, the
vessel struck heavily on what proved to be the Gunfleet
Sands. In an instant consternation spread throughout
the ship, and every passenger, including many women
and children, hurried to the deck. The masts were
speedily cut away, and other efforts mane to lessen
the heaving of the ship, and to get her off, but all
with no avail, as on the pump being sounded there
was found six feet of water in her hold, besides other
indications that the vessel was hopelessly lost. The
waptain, who throughout behaved admirably, had
a number of ropes passed across the ship, which
the passengers grasped in order to maintain their
footing. In this way a weary and wretched night
was passed, all of them expecting that the vessel
would every moment go to pieces. At eight the next
morning (Friday) they were descried by the crews of
several smacks, who immediately went to their assist-
ance. The tide had left the vessel with but little water
round her, so that the smacks' boats could not get
alongside. The women and children were first lowered
from the ship's side, and, aided by several men, waded
through the water to the boats, by which they were
conveyed to the smacks. In this way all were safely
taken from the vessel, and 140 of them were ultimately
landed at lisrwich, the last number of them landing
as late as one o'clock on Saturday morning; the re-
maining passengers were landed at either Colchester
or Brightlingsea. The captain and two mates re-
mained on board the barque until four o'clock on
Friday afternoon, hoping that the vessel might yet
be saved, but as the sea rose she rapidly broke up,
and became a total wreck. Messrs. Billingsley and
Co., the Bremen vice-consuls at Harwich, paid every
attention to the emigrants, Mr. Williams, one of the
firm, particularly exerting himself. The passengers
are very grateful for the way ih which they are being
treated. It is Supposed that they 'will 'remain in
Harwich until another ship is provided f)r them. The
barque belonged to Messrs. Glogatein and Son,
Bremen, and was not insured.
EXTENSIVE SWINDLING.

- -
BATH, SATURDAY.—George Rowland Hill, a man
about 31 years of age, who bad succeeded in swind-
ling a large number of the most respectable tradesmen
of this city out of goods to a considerable amount,
was placed upon his trial this morning at the quarter
sessions held at the Guildhall before Mr. Jardine, the
Recorder. The greatest interest has been excited in
the case amongst the trading community, in conse-
quence of which the court was crowded in every part.
Mr. Hodges conducted the prosecution, instructed
by Mr. Williams, solicitor, and also by Mr. W. G.
Gray, as solicitor to the Wilts and Somerset Trade
Protection Society. Mr. T. W. Saunders and Mr.
F. T. Allen, instructed by Mr. Cheshire, solicitor, of
Cheltenhsm, defended the prisoner.
There were four indictments against the prisoner,
each containing several counts, in which he was
charged with obtaining goods by false pretences from
Messrs. Reynolds and Holman, linendrapers, of
Union-street; Mr. Clement, ironmonger, of Burton-
street; Mr. Hayden, cabinetmaker, of Stall-street;
and Messrs. Gully, ironmongers, of New Band-street.
The first case proceeded with was that of Messrs.
Reynolds and Holman, from whom the prisoner was
charged with fraudulently obtaining carpeting, &c.,
to the value of between 701. and 801. The following
are the particulars of the prisoner's transactions, as
gathered from the evidence, which was very volunai-
nous :

Tho prisoner, in the latter part of 1849, came to
Bath, and opened shop as a cabinet .maker in Bel-
lance-street, where he employed several workmen, and
appeared to be carrying on a flourishing business.
Having thus succeeded in making himself known, in
the early part of June of the present year he com-
menced his fraudulent proceedings. Going to the
shop of Messrs. Reynolds and Holman, he represented
to them that ha had been employed to furnish a house
for the Rev. Mr. Dangerfield, at Stroud, in Glouces-
tershire. He said the job would amount to b?tween
500/. and 6001., and that he was to be paid as soon
as the work was completed, which would be in five or
six weeks' time. He also told the prosecutor that he
should require carpets and druggets. window-cur-
tains, &c., to the amount of 60/. or 70/, and asked
to be allowed to have such goods as he might re-
quire, to be paid for as soon as the Rev. Mr. Dan-
gerfield discharged his account. Upon the representa-
tions made by the prisoner Messrs. Reynolds and Hol-
man allowed him to select at that time carpeting to the
value of 221. In two or three days afterwards a letter
bearing the Stroud post-mark was received from Hill
by the prosecutors, in which he stated that the
carpeting was not sufficient for his purpose,
and that he must have some more, of the same
pattern, or, if they had not more of that, he must
have the required quantity in a new pattern, and he
would send back that first had. Having no more
carpet of the first pattern, Messrs. Reynolds and
Holman sent a bale of another pattern, but that first
sent was never returned, and subsequently other goods
were obtained by the prisoner, amounting altogether
to between 70/. and 80/. From Messrs. Gully, Hay-
den, Clement, and other tradesmen, the prisoner suc-
ceeded in obtaining goods to a very large amount'
upon the same representation of having to furnish a
house for the Rev. Mr. Dangerfield, and very inge-
niously contrived to make some of his victims re-
ferences, by which he became the better enabled to
obtain the property of others. Suspicion was at length
excited, and in July Inspector Dunne, of the Bath
police-force, went to Stroud to make inquiries, and
the nature and extent of the fraud became at once
apparent. No such person as the Rev. Mr. Danger-
field existed, and the prisoner himself occasionally
went by the name of Dangerfield, in order to effect
his purpose. It was also discovered that he had had sales
at Tetbury and other places for the disposal of furni-
ture. On proceeding to Cheltenham the officer disco-
vered a large quantity of furniture of every descrip-
tion, including a great portion of that obtained from
the tradesmen of Bath, besides between 1001. and
2001. worth not identified. At the railway station
were several articles directed in the prisoner's hand-
writing to persons of different names, and to be left
there till called for. A watch was set, and after a
while a cartload of the goods was fetched from the
station. The cart was followed, and the prisoner se-
cured as he was receiving the goods at a place called
Charlton Kings. Here a bale of carpet belonging to
the prosecutor was found in an unoccupied house,
where it had been deposited by a brother-in-law of
the prisoner, named Thomas Window. On the bale
was a direction to Window in the prisoner's hand-
writing. In another unoccupied house, next door to
where Window lived, more property was found, and
in a loft which the •prisoner's wife had taken for the

On
his way to Bath the prisoner said to the officer, " I
am glad it is stopped, for I don't know where it
would have ended if I had gone on with that Win-
dow." Further discoveries clearly proved that the

The jury found the prisoner Guilty, whereupon
an arrangement was entered into between the counsel
on each side that judgment should not be pressed for
on the other cases if the prisoner pleaded guilty to
them, and so enabled the property obtained by him to
be returned to the owners.
The Learned Recorder, in passing sentence, re-
ferred to the serious character of the offence of which
the prisoner had been convicted, and said he should
inflict upon him the utmost punishment the law would
allow. The prisoner WAS then sentenced to be trans-
ported for seven years.
Hid is a native of Gloucestershire, and well
known in Stroud and Cheltenham. At the Gloucester
sessions in 1838 he was convicted of a felony, and
sentenced to nine months hard labour.
The grand jury has returned a true bill against the
prisoner, his wife, and his brother-in-law, Thomas
Window, for conspiracy.

THE SECRET POISONING CASE NEAR

ABERYST IV1741:

The adjourned inquest was resumed on the 17th
instant. The coroner read the whole of the evidence
from the commencement, and summed up in a most
able manner, especially commenting on that part of
the evidence which bore against the accused. The
jury deliberated for about two hours, and returned a
verdict to the following effect, viz.:--" That the de-
ceased, Ann Jones, met her death through poison,
but that there was not sufficient evidence to show by
whom administered." Upon that fact being made
known, Captain Freeman, chief constable of the
county constabulary force, entered into consultation
with a neighbouring magistrate, the result of which
was that a charge was preferred against the accused

(Elizabeth Jones) fur the wilful murder of her mother-
in-law, Ann Jones. She was forthwith taken into
custody, and conveyed to Aberystwith station-house,
until the following Monday, when the case was en-
tered into before the county magistrates assembled
for that purpose, at Pontrhydfendlged (Ford of the
Blessed Bridge).
Several witnesses were examined, mostly the ser-
vants of Bronberllan.

Th€ accused was remanded until the 29th instant,
in order to afford time for Mr. Iltrapath, of Bristol,
to be again present, and accordingly a summons fir
that gentleman wes issued yesterday.—Cambrian,
Friday.

last, and was attended by Dr. Jackson and Dr. Peacock,
both of Darlington. They Ibund him labouring under
Fevere pains in the bowels, accompanied by violent
retching and sickness, and his symptoms continued in-
creasing in violence until the following night, when he
died. Both doctors were present at his death, and Dr.
Jackson entertained suspicions that poison had been ad-
ministered to the deceased, and intimated his fears on
the subject to Dr. Peacock. Deceased was, however,
buried.
The suspicions as to the cause of his death having got
abroad, and various rumours prevailing as to domestic
discords in deceased's household, owing to the alleged
incontinence of his wife, they were at length formally
conveyed to Mr. Settle, the deputy coroner for Stocton
ward. Accordingly on the 12th inst., the remai❑s of the
deceased were exhumed, where they had lain nearly five
weeks, and an inquiry was held before Mr. Settle, at the
Hope Inn, Sedgetield.
At this inquest, Thomas Hayes Jackson, surgeon,
then deposed that the deceased was a healthy man up
to March last. On the 9th of that month, Dr. Jackson
was called to see deceased, who appeared to be labouring
under severe inflammation of the bowels, and was suf-
fering great pain. Deceased recovered from that illness
in the month of May. On the night of the Ist of Sep-
tember, witness was again called in, and found deceased
in bed, complaining of severe pain in the bowels and
stomach; he continued vomiting violently, and on the
night of the 2d September he died. Witness bad sus-
picions that death was caused by poison, and had, after
the funeral, communicated his suspicions to Dr. Pea-
cock, who had also been in attendance. Deceased had
remarked to witness that he had had a great deal of
trouble in consequence of family disturbances, and had
said he did not think he 'should recover. Witness had_
assisted at the post moltem examination of deceased,
and from the appearances presented, had not the least
doubt that the deceased had died from the effects of
poison.

After hearing this evidence, the jury recommended
that the stomach and other organs should be transmitted
to a competent gentleman for careful analysis, in order
that the presence of poison should be tested.
The inquiry was resumed on Tuesday last, when Dr.
Glover, of Newcastle, gave evidence of having examiLed
the organs to detect the presence of poison, and after a
most careful analysis, he had obtained satisfactory evi-
dence of the presence of arsenic in those organs.
After receiving this evidence the inquest was again
adjourned until next Tuesday, in order to collect further
evidence.

Superintendent Robson, of the Darlington police,
proceeded on Wed! e,day to Coniscliffe Moor House, for
the purpose of searching the premises. He there found
a packet of arsenic, labelled " poison," on the top of
a press. The widow of deceased was present, and ap-
peared considerably agitated, but expressed no surprise
at the discovery. At present the affair is shrouded in
considerable mystery; but it is anticipated that consi-
derable light will be thrown on the subject at the next
investigation.

THE FRIMLEY MURDER.
On Saturday, at 11 o'clock, the examination of the
prisoners in custody charged with the double crime
of murder and burglary at Frimley was again re-
sumed before the magistrates at Guildford. Mr.
Best, the chairman of the bench, presided, and there
was a numerous attendance of magistrates, probably
arising from the expectation that the accused at the
close of the day's proceedings would be finally com-
mitted for trial. This expectation, however, it will
be seen, has not been realised, the prisoners having
again been remanded till Friday next. The evidence
adduced possessed no great novelty or interest, being
to some extent a repetition of details which have
already been made public, and where fresh facts were
adduced they were merely such as supplied blanks
in the indirect proof of guilt. When the prisoners
were one by one brought into the court-room
their appearance was narrowly watched, but indicated
no material change. Samuel Harwood's face looked
paler on entering, and became flushed as if with
strong excitement as the inquiry proceeded. Levi
Harwood also, though the confident daring
recklessness of his manner and expression hid suf-
fered no visible abatement, seemed to be more thought-
ful and concerned about himself. his complexion
had acquired a less healthy hue, and the muscles of
his face and throat were in constant motion. Jones
looked quite as well, if not better than at the previous
examination ; and Smith, the approver, appeared to
be more at his ease, though his eyes were still for
the most part bent timidly on the ground, and he
never once directed them to where his companions in
guilt were standing. This man has quite the slim
active figure of a burglar, while all the rest in build
and expression look like footpads. A curious piece
of pantomime occurred during the proceedings on
the part of the prisoner Jones, which, singular to say,
was only observed by one or two people in a crowded
room. The accused were drawn up in a semicircular
form at the entrance of the court-room, a turnkey be-
ing placed between each of them to prevent commu -
nication. During a pause in the proceedings, Jones who
had managed to fall behind a little, caught Levi ilar-
wood's eye unobserved, and clenching his fist at the
same time, and slightly raising it, with a motion of
his lips, and a glance at Smith, he very significantly
conveyed the kind of treatment the approver would
receive if an opportunity ever offered. The only

of the chairman, Mr. Best.

Mr. Neale, an attorney, in Guildford, who, it:will
be remembered had made several unsuccessful appli-
cations to the magistrates to be permitted to commu-
nicate with the prisoners in a professional capacity,
was present in court, and watched the case on behalf
of Samuel Harwood. Mr. W. S. Holiest, brother of
the deceased, as on former occasions, appeared, and
took an active part in the proceedings. The first wit-
ness called was

George Everest, the gamekeeper, who repeated the
evidence given by him before the Coroner, as to the
finding of the " worm-bit."
Sergeant Kendall, of the detective police force,
proved that the boles in the scullery door broken open
at the Rev. Mr. Hollest's corresponded with the
" worm-bit." He also produced a bolt taken from
this door, and a portion of the window sill, on both of
which he found marks, which in all probability were
produced by the " worm-bit."
Mr. William S. Holiest produced the masks, the
silver communion cup, and several other things
handed to him for safe custody, and the chairman de-
sired him to retain possession of them until the trial.
The witness suggested that some hairs which had
been found adhering to the masks should be compared
with the colour of the prisoner's heads, and this was
acceded to by the chairman.
Inspector Hollington here drew the attention of
the bench to the propriety of making inquiry as to a
corduroy cap which had been found, and which he
believed could be identified as the property of Levi
Harwood by Mrs. Seabrook, in whose house he
lodged.

oc lodm his
with this order, and grumblingly said, that if witnesses
said what was untrue, it was time to speak out.
Sergeant Kendall stated that the cap found was
believed to be a workhouse cap, and in the meantime,
as it was not in court, the inquiries with respect to it
were not further proceeded with.
Harriet Seabrook said that Levi Harwood left her
house on the evening of Friday, the 27th of last
month, and did not return until the
,following even-
ing, between seven and eight o'clock. She saw Jones
there a few minutes after Levi Harwood returned.

He did not come in, but remained in the lane out-
side, and left after a few minutes' conversation with
Levi Harwood. When Levi Harwood arrived he
went into the tap-room and sat down as usual..
Mr. Holiest—Did you speak to him ? Witness—
No.

Mr. Holiest here cautioned the witness to speak
the exact truth, or he would call some one to contra-
dict her. He then repeated his question, and
Witness said she believed she had said to him,
" You have been in a row and lost your jacket."
A long interrogation of the witness ensued on this
point, Lord Lovaine, Mr. Best, and Mr. Holiest, by
turns, putting questions to her, but the only answers
elicited were that Harwood appeared to be in his usual
state ; that she had heard him say nothing to her or any-
one else; that be was always a quiet young man, and
never said much. She admitted that three country-
men who came in during the evening had talked
of the Frimley business in the presence of Har-
wood, but he said nothing about it. She was then
