prisoner there in custody. Witness
took hold •f his (the prisoner's) left hand, and
did so, because in searching the house in Montague-place,
he thought that the murderer must have cut his hand ;
found a cut on the prisoner's thumb near the nail, and
asked him how long it
had been done, he replied about
five or six weeks. Witness examined it and said it was a
fresh cut, and asked how he had done it. He replied that
it was done in cutting some wood. Witness then proceed.•
ed to search his clothes, and told him that be thought the
coat had been sponged. He answered that the person from ,
whom he had borrowed it had 'Toned it. He directed

her razors to Jones before. He had had them all four 0

witness saw• no more of there that night.—(Tbe
razor case found in Montague-place was here PO'
duced by Salmon.)—This is very like the razef
case. She believed it to be the same. It is nor
in the same state. There was a top 'to the sheath
when witness sent it to Jones. Knew it to be the son,
by the sort of waving impression on it. (The razor found
in the house was here produced.) Could not swear to the
razor, as she had two nearly alike, and both with tortoise
shell handles, but the one which she lent to the pre'
soner was certainly very much like the one now pre':
duced. The other two had black handles, which witnes(
now produced. (the witness here tried if the shell halal
razor which she produced would go into the sheath, and
she found that it would.) While lodging in Wootton-street?
witness lent the prisoner a coat, which is the same
that he has on at present. Knew it to he the sari

were up, Charlotte was sitting by the fire, 'and jones was'
cleaning himself to go out. Wished them a happy net

" What do you think of Bill now (meaning himself) cleaning
himself to go out by day-light?" He said that he had met
hind in the City- the night before, who had promised to Dena

He said that if he got it, Charlotte should give witness '
some of it. He then put on his hat and mat, and went
out. Stopped there about a quarter of an hunt after he
was gone. Two shillings were left at her home en

She told him if he would not believe her, to get up‘and
get it himself. She asked him where she could get one.
Witness asked, " What, Sunday's paper ?" he said, " Nos
to-day's, if I could get it." Witness said that
they could not get that, unless they went to
public-house. He said that they could not do
that, •as they did not take any beer. They did not say
what they wanted the paper for. She was going away,
but they asked her to stop and breakfast with thens. Wit-
ness did stop. Jones got up before they breakfaited, While
witness was in the room, and some words passed between
him and Charlotte. The morning was cold, and they
quarrelled about sitting at the fire. Charlotte Would not
make breakfast, and Jones made it. In crossing the room
Charlotte passed a chair which had a Coat On it. The
coat fell on the floor, and rattled as if something' seas in it.
Witness observed Jones to look at it particularly at that
