he had come from Grafton-street. I do not know what he meant by
saying that. Ile merely sat down in the chair as usual. I noticed
nothing extraordinary or peculiar in his appearance. I cannot speak
positively as to what took place. Ile spoke to Miss Philps, and I did
not notice all he said. Ile went away a little after eleven. I saw a
watch ; he took it out of his pocket ; the chain looked like gold. Ile
said he had bought it. Ile also had a ring, which he showed to Miss
l'hllps. She said It was too large ; he said it was ; he put it on to
show her. It was, to the best °filly belief, a brilliant ring, and when
he had shown it to her ho put it in his pocket, and the conversation
with respect to it dropped. Ile had a crust of bread and cheese.
Ile did not wash his hands. The water is in the room, and he might
have used It while I was out. I was backwards and forwards several
times. I can't undertake to say he used the water.
Mr. RAWLINSON—Did you see ally mark of blood upon his shirt?
Witness—No, I did not then. I heard something about it afterwards.
Mr. RAWLINSON-7Did you see the mackintosh? Witness—Yes, I
saw it on his arm when he MHO into the house.

Mr. RAWLINSON—i-Shaii not ask you any thrther quostion. It
must be a distressing subject to you.
_ _ .

Witness—Yes, it Is. I have lost my place, and lost my charac.
ter also.

Henry Evans Taylor, a boy, residing with his father, at 8, Allsop-
mews, examined—l live, as errand boy, with Mr. Rudd, of Clarence-
gate. About three weeks ago I found a stick on the Macclestleld-
bridge.
Mr. RAWLINSON—Produce the stick in Court.

(The stick, a very large and light-coloured bludgeon, with a terrific
knob upon it, was shown to the magistrate. Inspector Sbackell
exhibited the marks of blood upon it. The prisoner's face, at this
moment, exhibited the most intense Interest. The features were
contracted in a singular manner, and it was some miinutes ere he
recovered the coolness that so much characterises 1,1 m.)
Witness continued—The stick has not been washed since I received
it. I saw it every day after I found it. It was in the iron work of
the bridge, almost in the water.
Henry Taylor, the father of the last witness, was next examined—
I recollect my boy bringing home a stick on the Bth or 9th day after
the murder.

Thq boy was re-called and said he had not said that he found the
stick on the day following the muwler.
Nathaniel O'Neill—l live at No. 19, Great Barlow-street. lam a
plasterer. I do-not knew the boy. This witness was called to prove
that the boy had made some statement with respect to the bludgeon,
but be failed to do so, there appearing to be sonic misunderstanding
respecting his knowledge. _

Inspector James Gray said—l am an Inspector of the Hampstead
police. From information I received I went to John Taylor's house,
who produced the stick now shown, and gave it to me. On my look-
ing at the stick I saw some marks of bland, which wore very distinct.
The marks arc now hardly legible, which I should think was from
its being washed.

Mr. Taylor said it had not been washed by any one belonging to
him, and explained the reason he had not given it up before he did.
Thomas }locker, the father of the prisoner, was next examined.
He was requested to look at the stick. After looking at the stick he
said, I believe that stick to be my son's—Thomas }locker's. To the
best of my belief it was fetched from my home anti taken to his lodg-
ings about three weeks or a month ago. I had been told that he had
lost it.

James Hocker, the brother, sworn—l know the stick. It was my
brother's, and was solid to be lost at a friends'. I have not seen It
mince that time till now.

This closed the evidence adduced, and Mr. Fell proceeded to read
over the evidence taken on all the previous occasions.
During the reading of the evident, by Mr. Fell, the chief clerk, the
prisoner evinced the utmost composure, but paid the most marked at-
tention. He asked for a chair, and on its being handed into the bar,
he sat down, and tblded,his arms on his breast. Ile slightly contracted
his brows now and then. Mrs. Edwards, on being called on to listen
to the evidence given by her at the last examination, trembled vio-
lently and sobbed aloud. Miss Philps was also much agitated, and in
consideration other feelings she was not asked to came forward. The
prisoner held In his hand a roll of papers, but during the proceedings
ho tied them up and placed them in his hat, thus evincing his deter-
mination to reserve his defence for another tribunal.
Inspector Haynes said—A person named Nash has just:arrived, who
call give some important Information respecting this transaction.
On being sworn, he said his name was Joseph Nash, that ha re-
sided at 17, Old Church-street, Paddington, and that he was a saddle-
maker. Ile said—On the night of the murder I was on business at
St. John's Weed. On coming round to the Swiss Cottage I came
Into the Avenue-road. It was between six and seven o'clock In the
evening, judging from the time I left home. While in the
Avenue-road I heard the cry of " Murder." I stopped and
listened. The sound came front a distance across the fields. I did
not pay much attention to it. I only heard the cry once. I stood
for about ten minutes. :I then saw a man coming close by the hedge
Into the Avenue-road towards me. He was running, and ran
against me. lie stopped suddenly. I said, "Did you hear the cry of
Murder ?" He took no notice, but ran on at a rapid pace. I ant
(said the witness, looking at the prisoner) confident (hat the prisoner
the same man, for I had seen him before. It was not very
dark. He had nothing wills him, and was flurried, as
if he had ran some distance. He might have had
a stick without my knowing it. I can't say that the clothes he has
on now were those he had on then. Ile had dark clothes on. I know
the spot where the murder was committed. The distance from the
spot where 1 met the prisoner was a good half mile. When the pri-
soner ran against me he was running from the direction of the Swiss
Cottage.

Mr. EAWLINSON said—Now, prisoner, all the evidence has been
gone through it is my duty to commit you to Newgatc on my own
warrant, and on the warrant of the Coroner. If you have anything
to say now is the time. -You may either say something or nothing,
but I must tell you that it will be taken down, and may be used
against you.
The prisoner—I decline saying anything to-day.
Ile then sat down, and the vast crowd having partially dispersed,
he was led out of the Court, and locked up in one of the cells attached
to the Court.

Among the gentlemen on the bench we observed Lord Montfort,
Mr. Broughton (the magistrate of Worshi?-s reet), Mr. Pepys, and
other county magistrates, Mr. Long sat with Mr. Raw Nilson.
