IRELAND.
,b AUG. I4.—The prosecution of Mr. Duffy, one of
off 'enal magistrates of polies., in Dublin, for an unname-

thiliiit3;ena once more before the public, and in a more re-
t 'l)4:light than ever. Among the witnesses produced for
eution was a boy named Walsh, who in his direct
tAt, tttion swore dist inctly that on the day laid in the indict-
41k, wit, the 29th of March, he saw Mr. Duffy at a par-
-110", and that he knew him previous to the occurrence.

THE SCOTCH BANKS.
( From the Gazette of last nightl)

READING, FRIDAY EVENING. —The Del uty-Ccroner and
jury re-assembled this afternoon at two o'clo( k, and proceeded
to examine the following witnesses :
Henry Houlton, re-examined—When I had returned to
Spicer's house, and after the body had been examin' d, I told
Spicer that I suspected his wife had come Ober dea'h by some
unfair means, and that I should feel it my duty to take him
into custody on the charge of the wilful murder of his wife.
He said, " I know nothing of it." On Wednesday morning
last I went to Mrs. Cook's, where Spicer had worked, and saw
the witness William Walden? and he showed me a cupboard
that was used by Spicer to keep his tools in. I opened it, and
took out a handkerchief, which Walden stated he had found
there the day before. I produce the handkerchief. Yesterday
I went again to Mrs. Cook's, and in the cellar where the work
is carried on found an apron. I asked Walden whose apron it
was before I examined it. He said it was Spicer's. I took it,
and examined it, and found drops of blood upon it. The apron

I here produce. I found another apron, on the other side of
the workshop, with blood upon_ it, and Walden stated that he
could swear that both the aprons belonged to Fpicer.
William Walden, re-examined, after being cautioned by the
deputy-coroner that he was upon his oath, and should therefore
withhold nothing from the jury, said, to the best of my belief,
these aprons belonged to Spicer. I never wore aprons' and no
other workman besides Spicer and myself were employed ire
the shop whilst we were there. Spicer always wore an apron
when be went to dinner. The cupboard was set apart for
Spicer's use. _ _

David John Conk, living with his mother, basket-maker,
High-street —William Spicer and last witness, William Walden,
are the only two persons employed in the room under the shop.
Spicer always wore an apron, but not Walden. Saw Spicer on
Friday afternoon ; his head was between his hands. I thought
something w's the matter with him. I asked him if it was so,
he replied, " No."
George Essington, of 97, Broad-street, tailor—l knew Mr.
and Mrs. Spicer. Saw her, to the best of my belief, on
Thursday evening, at the bar door of the Royal Oak, talking
to Mrs. Sharp, the landlady. 1 never heard she was subject
to fits. Saw Spicer on Friday, the Bth inst., at the Royal
Oak, about four o'clock in the afternoon. He came in to drink.
I told him 1 had seen his wife, and she was looking better, the
night before. He had told me his wife was not very well. I
should state that he said, " I am going to have a malt tea."
I said, "I do not know but what it is quite as well." He then
said, "I have been home to tea, but could not find my mistress,
and I suppose she is gone out, and so I thought I would come
down here and have a pint of beer."
Martha Gordon, No. 3P, Middle-row—l know William
Spicer. My husband keeps the Odtham beer-house. Spicer
was not at our house on Friday, the Bth inst. I was at home

all day.
William Walden was here recalled—Spicer came from din-
ner on Friday before me. I will swear that I have not burnt
any letter, saying I did not wish to get Spicer into a scrape.
Ht nry Tomkins, a former witness, then came forward and
deposed, that on Monday he saw Walden, who said to him,
" I have just been home and burnt a letter which Spicer had

sent me."
John Heather, sergeant of the Rtading police, said—Walden,
on 51onday, asked me to read a paper. I could not. It ap-
peared to me a mere direction and part of a letter. A young
man, named Briant, read it.
Walden here said, on being questioned, that he put it into his
pocket. He found it in the workshop. Afterwards, on being
pressed, he said he put it on the fire. He had heard Spicer
had been writing to some "gals" in the country. He was
further questioned, and stated that a. man from Sonning, whom
he did not know, brought a letter to Spicer, who was working
at the shop last week. He believed he was a little related to
his wife. Spicer put it into his pocket, and the man said his
wife was coming to the races. 'fhe man asked how Spicer's
wife was? Spicer said first pretty well; but afterwards said
she had had a fail a time back and hurt herself. Spicer said his
wife's sister was coming to the races. I am sure the letter was
not brought on Friday.
The DEPUTY- CORONER then summed up.
The room was then cleared, and after the lapse of a few
minutes, the jury had returned as their verdict—"Tbat Elizabeth
Spicer was w ilfully murdered by her husband, William Spicer."
'fhe warrant of committal was then made out, and the
prisoner will take his trial at the ensuing Lent assizes.
