t keeps the White Hart. On the night of 29th- April, a man
and woman came in and drank at my bar Should know 00
woman, but not the man. The woman had on a grey boa+
and a cottage straw bonnet, with a dark shawl bordered. I
saw the face of deceased on Sunday, the sth of May, as she
lay in her coffin, and I think it was the same person whom
saw in my shop. I cannot say what was the man's appear-
ance, as he turned and walked up the passage while ihs
payed for the beer. I saw the left side of his head, and think
I should know him again.
Mr. CiavE—Just leave the Court for a little
The witness did so.
• The prisoner was then ordered to stand among the persons
in the body of the Court, and the witness, having been again
admitted, was desired to point out the man he supposed to be
the person who had been in his house with the deceased.
The witness looked round the room, and, after a careful ex'
amination, pointed to the man Dalmas as the, person. The
prisoner was again placed within the bar. -
Witness cross-examined—Did not read the description of
the, risoner in the newspapers. He bad no great coat, ai far
as I could judge, but would not swear to it. I think his coat
was buttoned up. Am not sure that it was a drss or afroek
coat. Have not read the newspapers, but. have heard that
there was a doubt as to what coat he had on. Thinks, as far
as he could see, that the man had on a satin waistcoat.
Could not say what was round his neck, but thinks it was a
fancy silk stock. I was not at the inquest, and have not seen
the prisoner since that day—the day of his being at my,bar
—up to the present time.
Edmund Rogers, waiter' at the White Hart, Duke-great',
Chelsea, said on Monday night, the 29th April, at half-paa'
eight, he was standing with Elizabeth Meninham, and oh'
served a man and woman passing. The woman had a light
dress with a dark print, a black shawl with a light border;
She had on a straw bonnet. The man had a dark coat and
trousers. I should not know the man again if I saw him.
Cross-examined—Elizabeth Meniugham did not draw ml
attention to the parties. She had come to ask after her liar
band. I did r.ot hear the persons say anything. Meninglia,nl
said nothing then, but I have spoken to her twice since;
first time was on Tuesday morning. She then said she coal
swear that it was the man and woman who had passed an
Monday night.
Elizabeth Meningham followed the man and woman: to'
wards the bridge ; she told me next day that she had g°
over the bridge and seen the woman. I heard the man is 32
" Will you go there to-night," and she said No, I can't
stop out to-night." I mentioned these words at the station-
house. I noticed that the coat was a dark blue or a black,
but I cannot say whether it was a frock coat or flat'
I then, after they passed me, went in doors;
Mrs. Meningham did not mention the hour, and never helm
at all what time it was. I did not come our again' till after
eleven o'clock. I did not notice whether the bonnet was a
large or a small one. I have heard many persons mention
the females dress.
.1 could not describe any dress so poll"
cularly as the deceased female's; perhaps the reason will
that 1 thought the deceased's words were curious, and I Pat'
more attention to her.
By Mr. an-E—l noticed Mr. and Mrs. Meningham lea
our house after that hour. I did not notice Mrs. Meninghlar
dress.
By Mr. Gilham—Did not notice whether Mrs. Meninghant
had a boa, and cannot describe any pert of her dress.
Charlotte Dalmas was recalled—l am the prisoner's 'Olll
daughter. He has only been married once. I was oft
afraid my father meditated self-destruction, as he was !relit
unhappy: I will swear that nothing was said that nig"
about poisoning, and that I never said anything about poison'
He did not say to me that night what he had been doing
before he called upon me.
Mr. CLIVE said he should be obliged to remand the hr
quiry, as the time of the Court was limited. He would, ho,'
ever, hear the remainder of the evidence to be adduced tn'
day, to which time the Court was adjourned.
The prisoner evinced, throughout the whole examinatiem
the most callous indifference, and, in fact, seemed a mere ob-
server, and not the principal person concerned in the Por
ceedings.

good, namely, 5,940 quarters, and of fair average qualitY•
Most descriptions were taken off readily, at very full prices*
There was more business doing in foreign Wheat, both for

though upwards of 20,000 quarters of, Foreign Barley has'.
been received, the sale for that article, as it goes to the dit
tillers as received, was steady, at full prices. The Malt trim,'
ruled dull, at barely late rates. Oats, Beans, and. Peas,
