replied, "Father went out at four o'clock." The cook
inquired how he knew it was four o'clock. Ile answered,
" I know it was four o'clock, because father told ms it
was."

The younger Oughton says, that in the morning a very
disagreeable smell came from the harness-room, and that
he mentioned the circumstance to Good, who said, " Oh,
it is the toasted cheese you smell ; I have been having
some for breakfast ; I am very fond of it,.and usually
have some with my breakfast after gettinq a little too
much over night." This is the place where the burnt
bones were found.

The cook states that about half-past eight o'clock in
the morning Good came into breakfast I; terally covered
with smoke awl soot, to use her own expression, " as
black as a sweep ;"—that she said to h:ni, " What have
you been at ? you are not fit to sit down to breakfast."
Ills answer was carelessly given in these words :—" Oh,
nothing ; I'll go and shave after breakfast."
On the Tuesday night the child did not sleep with his
father, but with the younger Oughton, in the room im-
mediately over what are no doubt the remains of his un-
fortunate aunt. The boy states that on the Friday or
Saturday preceding the Sunday on which he last saw
Jane Jones, he saw his father sharpening a large knife.
A knife of the description stated has been found, ,with
some spots of blood upon the blade, in the drawer of the
harness-room table. - • - -

The boy further states that he has since Monday last
seen in a black leathern trunk, belonging to Good, which
is in the harness-room, a dress of his mother's. , The
very one, or as Ale says, exactly like the one she bad on
Sunday.
It is a very natr"al supposition that the whole of-the
stables about the premises were on such an occasion as
this thoroughly searched by the policy ; the more parti-
-cularly so as the Coroner before he left the premises,
after viewing the mutilated remains on Friday, gave
strict injunctions to that effect, and directed the con-
stables in charge of the stable to remove the straw or
litter, and see if any of the paving stones had been re-
moved. This the police did in the stable where the body
was found, but did not extend their examination to the
ponies' loose boxes, and the summoning-officer, Mr.
Tighe, at a late hour•on Friday evening, found upon the
ponies' bins a bunch of, eight keys, among which Good's
son says he recognised several belonging to his •' mother,"
and be names several boxes and cupboards to which they
respectively belong.
Another corroborati►e, or rather conclusive proof, that
the woman has been murdered by Good we learn from
Mr. Allen. Among the remains of the calcined bones
found in the harness-room, are what he deems to be
those of the human thigh hone, and others which he is
quite satisfied are a portion of a human skull, and the
bones of the toe of a human being. A further fact noticed
by. Mr. Allen on his second examination of the body is,
that the cut which was supposed to ex tend only across the
abdomen, reaches round the back to the spine, the evi-
dent intention of the murderer having been to divide the
body in that part for the purpose of more conveniently.
burnin4 it.

It has been spoken of as a very extraordinary circum-
stance, that the woman should have been murdered and
remained concealed in the stables without any one person
residing in the outbuilding knowing or suspecting any-
thing of the matter. But this will appear the .less sur-
prising from the fact that Good had the entire manage-
ment and control of the premises, with the exception of
the-house of Oughton, the gardener. Mr Sheill is. a very
infirm man (upwards of 80 years of age, we believe), and
was in the habit of spending a great portion of his
time at his tors n residence in. Clarges-street, Piccadilly,
and-Good, it would appear, went in and out of that gen-
tleman's residence at Putney-park-lane at all hours. He
had in his possession a.latch key, by which hecould gain
admission whensoeverhe pleased, and there is little doubt,
from what our reporter heardyesterday, that Good,:after
having gone, as it was supposed, to bed, not unfreqnently
left the house and went.' down. to the • stable, and
slept with various women. with -whom he was ac—
quainted. This suggestion is strengthened by- the cir-
cumstance of a bed and pair of blankets.. having been
found in the stables, and beneath: which a-flarinel petti-
coat was discovered by inspector Busain. _ The garment
has no mark upon it, and whether it belonged to the.
murdered female, or some Other woman; is a matter of doubt.
GOOd's father was an Irishman, and his mother a native
of Devonshire ; and he is described' by the female do-:
mestics of Mr. Sheill's house, and by Oughton s wife and
daughter, as " a bad, morose- man,' and one-With.whom
they had as little to-do as they could possibly kelp.
The Oughtons, upon being interrogated as to lus visits
toV4kables,. say that it was his habit .to come 'in ,and,
go out at all times. He had heen two years and .four
months in the service of Mr. •Sheill, who_ will remote
from the mansion on Tuesday next, the premises having
been taken
,by Mr. Boddington and Colonel Webster; his
son-in-law, who are' to have possession on Friday; the
15th inst.

lt,Sras stated at the inquest, that when Good locked
the door upon the policeman; and the lads Dagnall and
Speckt, and the elder Oughton, he had a lantern in his
han-d.- This has been found, and shows his route on quit-
ting' the stables. The lantern was picked up in a field
south of the cart-sheds, anti from this fact it is inferred
that'he crossecrthe Upper-road, Wandsworth.'
-Good's son remains at the gardener's house.
-The frightfully mangled music of the victim of the
murderer was deposited in an elm coffin yesterday, and
removed by Tighe, the summoning officer, from the sta-
bles, the Coroner having directed the police to place it in
charge of that functionary. The house to which it has
been removed is kept a profound secret, as it is thought
if it were known the thousands who will no doubt visit
the spot to-morrow, would occasion probably many pain-
ful scenes.—Sunday Times.

THE DECEIVER GENERAL.
(From the Examiner.)
When first the project of the income tax was broached
it was pleaded that it was very l'ttle and very short-lived
—only sevenpence in the pound, and only for three years.
Sir Robert Peel, having upon these pretences felt his
footing, has already dismissed one of them, and he now
boldly declares that the tax may be for five years or for
longer, if need be. Its duration is thus already length-
ened, and so full surely will be its amount. It will grow
in magnitude as well as in years, and will be the prop of
its worthless parent, the Corn-law. And so it is that
Sir Robert Peel makes his way—" give him the inch and
he takes the ell," every step being gained under cover of
false pretences. By false pretences he got the Govern-
ment •, by false pretences he obtaiued his large majority;
with false pretences he ushers in and gains sufferance for
his measures. What wit was to Falstaff false pretences
are to him, and he not only deals in them himself but is
the cause of them in others, and all his followers find
themselves under the necessity of breaking the pledges
and engagements by which they obtained their re-
presentative trusts. Their last trick has a very common
parallel. A countryman falls in with a very smooth-
spoken gentleman, a true farmer's friend, who warns him
against the cheats of London, and promises to show him'
how to take care of his money. Hodge is full of grati-
tude and confidence, puts his all in the hands of his be-
nevolent adviser, who makes a parcel of it and sees that
Hodge secures it carefully in his fob ; in due time the
honest farmer opens his pocket and finds copper for his
gold, notes on the Bonk of Elegance for his notes on the
Bank of England. Loud and vehement is the agrest bel-
low at this discovery, loud and vehement as the bellow of
farmers at the substitution of the new Corn Bill for the
old one, the new Tariff for the old protections. They
confided in the farmer's friend, their representative, and
Sir Robert Peel, his chief, as the countryman in the street
trusted to the sharper, believing in his promise to place
in security the very things which he takes from them,
and in addition to the smart of the loss they feel the trea-
chery of the deceit.
The new Corn-law is better than the old law ; the
proposed tariff, with all imperfections, better than the
existing one ; but we may make these admissions with-
out any approval of the deceit which has been practised
on the interests concerned to induce them to convey to
the existing Government the power which has been
turned against them. The last general election was, as
we stated at the time, a general take in.
"Do you see how that fellow is cheating you ?" said
a spectator to a gamester. " Hush," replied the latter—
" don't concern yourself about the matter ; I intend to
pick his pocket as he goes home." .
This, at the best, is Sir Robert Peel's morality. lie
saw how the monopolists were cheating the, country,
and, instead of breaking up the game, he bethought him
of picking their pockets on their way home from the hus-
tings. A roguery is made the means of the restitution.
There are practices iu politics to which no better, no
apter name than sharping or swindling can be given—
sometimes it is the hidden card up the sleeve, or the
cogged die, sometimes the obtaining goods under false
presences. We see advertised a publication called the
History of Great Public Deceptions, it should be the
Life of Sir Robert Peel ; but the title would be rather
mild, for the doings the most analogous to those of Si*
Robert Peel we are accustomed to see figuring in Police
Reports.
When Sir Robert Peel was pressed to divulge his
views of financial and commercial policy before the gene-
ral election, his answer was, that there was not a topic
on which he had not at some time or other explicitly
stated his opinion. This naturally referred back the
farmers to what he'had not very long before declared on
the corn question, in a debate on one of Mr. C. Vitmlier's
motions :
", If you could convince me that the Corn-law was pro-
ductive of evils, which you have failed to do, I would not
trust to the lottery of legislation for a better bill."
But the farmers having, on the faith of• arch pro-
testations, given Sir Robert Peel. his large 'majority, he
feels that he can afford to put into the lottery of legis-
lation in utter recklessness of his pledge against such a
venture.. We are glad that the Corn-law is thrown into
the lottery, we are glad to see this bad law so sported
with, so unsettled, so given to the chances of change—
whatever the ticket may be drawn, it must disappoint
one-half or the other half of the country, and there
must he a fresh scheme with lower terms for the land-
lords ; but though we rejoice in the present distur-
bance of• the law; and the' prospect it opens of more ex-
