ceased. It was such a glass as that produced. There
was no particular smell in the glass.
The CORONER here said it would be necessary to
adjourn the case, and he would fix the adjournment
for Wednesday.
Mr. Williams said, that before the court rose, he
wished to apply to the Coroner for an order to allow
his solicitor to see the prisoner.
The CORONER had no objection to grant the per-
mission sought for, only the interview with the pri-
soner must be in the presence of the officer.
Mr. Williams trusted the Coroner would be satis-
fied if the officer stood outside the door, so as that the
prisoner should not be able to make his escape. He
trusted this request would be granted.
The CORONER —Oh, no; that will not do. The pri-
soner must not be out of sight of the officer.
Mr. Wilaams was quite sure that the officer was
far too respectable a man to wish to hear anything
that passed between the prisoner and his legal adviser
in their interviews together.
The CORONER concurred in what Mr. Williams had
just said. All the officer was hound to do, and all
that he would wish him to do, was to take care that
the prisoner was never out of his sight.
At this mom-mt Mr. Montagce Chambers arrived
from London, and begged before the court rose to
make an application to it. A sum of money, and
other articles, which had been found on the person of
the prisoner, when taken into custody, had been
taken from him. Now, as these could not have any-
thing to do with the guilt or innocence of the prisoner,
he trusted the Coroner would order them to be given
up to him.

The CORONER said that, as the prisoner required
some money to support him while the present charge
was pending, the 225. in silver found on his person
must be given up to him, but he would not feel justi-
fied in ordering the remainder of the money, or other
property, to be handed to him in the present state of
matters.

Mr. Chambers then applied for copies of the depo-
sitions against the prisoner, in order that he and his
counsel might be able to understand the nature of the
evidence against him.
The CORONER said he could not comply with the
request of the Learned Gentleman. The prisoner
and his counsel, however, could learn the nature of
the evidence brought before the Court through the
reports which appeared in the newspapers. The in-
quest was adjourned till Wednesday, when much
additional evidence is expected to be brought forward.

The prisoner is a rather tall man, and approaching
his 60th year, but looking older than he is in reality.
His hair is of a greyish colour, and very short. His
face and features are small. The expression of his
countenance is not pleasing; there is something
sinister about it, which may, however, be partly
accounted for from a slight squint in one of his eyes.
The prisoner left this country for New South Wales
many years ago, under very peculiar circumstances.
During his residence in that part of the world he is
said to have amassed a large fortune. He has been
twice married. His first wife died some years since.
By her he had two sons, both of whom, it is said,
were brought up by him for the medical profession ;
but they died in early life. He married a second
time, a little more than a year ago. By his second
wife he has one child. It is said that she visited him
in Windsor Gaol, and manifested the deepest grief
at the distressing circumstances in which he
is placed. It is right to mention that he himself dis-
plays the greatest composure. 11, hen he arrived
yesterday morning, in the custody of the officer, at
Salt Hill, and entered the room in which the inquest
was to be resumed, he drew out his handkerchief, and
wiping his face with it-, remarked with the greatest
coolness, that they lied arrived too soon, there being
no appearance of the Coroner or the jury. The house
was crowded all day by persons anxious to get a
sight of him. Indeed, the desire to see him was so
great, that it was with difficulty the officer could
prevent persons forcing themselves into the room ad-
joining that in which the inquest was held, in which
he was kept in custody. It is said that the prisoner
has an extensive establishment at Berkhamstead,
keeping no fewer than six servants.
