THOMAS LIGHTFOOT, A. and C. G.
Accountant and Comptreller-General's Office,
Stamps and Taxes, March 16, 1842. •

About half- past ten on Saturday morning, Inspector Pearce,
of the A division, received intelligence which leaves very little
doubt. but that the monster will be safe in his custody in the
course of a few hours. The moment the news came to the
ears of Pearce,.he at once went and divested himself of his
ordinary apparel, and put on a suit of private clothes,
an
any resistance on the part of Good, should he be
d for fearp police
of
fe
so fortunate as to capture him, he has obtained the valuable
assistance of police-constables Gough and Brook, who are also
in private apparel, and have all three departed on their jour-
ney, which we hope may prove successful. Pearce, on being
-terrogated as to the road he was going. very wisely refused
became, says he, " If it should reach the culprit's ears,
will of course bolt." So .sanguine was Pearce when he
started of apprehending Good, that he " I am greatly
mistaken if I come back without him." A report was currant
this morring that the murdered female had been owned, but
upon making inquiry at the proper quarter we find that such
was not the case.

A labouring man named Robert M,Evoy applied at Union
Hall on Saturday, and said that he met Daniel Good on Thurs-
day morning last in the City. He appeared greatly excited,
and wished him to write a letter to his master
for him. They went into the Three Tuns, Coleman-
street, for that purpose. The subject of the letter
was that he was going late the country for a few days to see his
friends, and would return to his employment in the early part
of next week. While he was writing the letter, Good seemed
greatly excited ; he exclaimed several times, " Good God,"
" I have done it," " There she is," and several other expres-
sions that attracted the notice of the la-idlord, and several
customers in the house. He afterwards left him in Cheap-
side; Good walked in the direction of Whitechapel. He
was dressed very shabby • he had an old black hat on, blue coat,
brown keneymere breeches, and shoes which appeared very
much worn. Mr. Cottingham bound over the informant, to
appear and give evidence at the-inquest, next Tuesday.
In the course of Friday afternoon Sergeant Col-
Man, of the H division, received information at the sta-
tion-house, Spital-square, that Good had been to call on
his wife, who resides in Flower and Dean street, Spital-
fields. He immediately made inquiries, and found that a
female of the name of Good had been living there some
years, and that it was always believed her husband was
a coachman in a gentleman's service, though he had not
been to see her for years. He then employed several
constables, being perfectly assured from the description
given of Good in the "Police Circular" that he was the
same person who had been to visit her, to endeavour to
trace him out, and up to twelve o'clock this day the
f.llowing are the particulars that have been ob•
tained. He was at her house on Thursday morning
early, having arrived there in a cab, and having,
from the time he left South-street, Manchester-square,
hired three cabs. Upon seeing his wife, he stated
that he had travelled all night .by railway. He had
with him three bolsters, a bed and bedding, and
two boxes, all of which were placed in the house
of Mrs. ood. Shortly after he went with his wife
to the shop of Mr. Soames, pawnbroker, Brick-lane,
where they pawned some gowns, shawls, the bed,
bedding, bolsters, and several articles of female
wearing apparel. The bed and bedding he pawned for
twenty-five shillings. Some of the gowns and shawls
were pawned for the, same sum, and a quantity of
crockery, &c., he sold to Mr. Soma:es. Mrs. Good
told the pawnbroker that they .were the property of
Good, and who, the stated, had just returned from
sea, and that he wanted the money, as he was going
to Ireland. She has been asked where he is, but
while she states that she believes that this is
not the first murder he has committed, she
declines to give any information about him. An
oil skin cap, similar to one that Good had on, has been
found at her room. The gown at Mrs. Soames's is a
light striped lilac-pattern. There are some napkins
which Mrs. Good said her husband left, with the initials

" S." Good spent the same evening at the house of
Mr. Cordell a publican; in Fashion-street. Every ex-
ertion is beiu'g made under the direction of Mr. Pierce,
the Superintendent of the A division. A policeman
traced Good to Flower and Dean-street, and lost him
there. _

It having been currently reported that Good had
taken his passage to New York, per the American linc-
of-packet ship Quebec, Captain Hebard, which sailed
from the St. Katherine's Dock on Friday morning, two
efficient officers were despatched after the vessel, and
having speedily overtaken her, the pasSengers on board
were mustered, and the ship, it is said, searched ; but the
murderer was not found among them.
The statement in some of the morning papers, that
a man strongly resembling the monster murderer had
called early on Thursday morning and had a pint of
porter at the Swan Tavern, London-bridge, and was in
a very excited state, which unusual circumstance at-
tracted the notice of the landlord and some other per

sons, is partly correct ; but the negative answer of the
landlord to the mans inquiry,. " if there-was asteam-
packet going to I-lull that morning" (Thursday), is in-
consistent with the truth, the steam-packet Yorkshire-
man, Captain Reavel, having sailed from CustOm-house
Quay, Lower Thames-street, for Hull that morning,and
in about a quarter of an hour after the supposed mur-
derer quitted the Swan Tavern.
It is now fully believed that the man who visited the
Swan was Good ; and from the fact that he was short of
money, and that passengers in the fore-cabin are con
veyed to Hull for 3s. a-head, it is also believed that he
went a fore cabin passenger by the Yorkshireman, at
eight o'clock on Thursday morning.
Two active .police-officers, engaged in endeavouring
to trace out the retreat of the murderer, have proceeded
to Hulf.

on which the murder was committed,
are
mile to the north of the King-
ston road, and somewhat more than a quarter of a mile
down a very pleasant lane leading out of the road to
T situated premises,
ises
about half
Roehatupton. About 150 yards down the lane is a five
barred gate ; to and beyond this the road is private
property, and the spot is nearly as secluded as Gill's
Hill-lane, where the unfortunate Wears met a violent
death. After passing along the lane rather more than
a quarter of a mile, is the mansion of Mr. Shiell, a very
substantial building, on the right hand. We then de-
scend a gentle declivity into a pleasant little valley, at
the bottom of which the house of Oughton, the gardener,
and the stabling, in which the murder is supposed to have
been committed, are situate. Abutting upon the lane are

_
several cow-houses and cart-sheds,-and near them stands
Oughton's house (about 30 or 40 y ards back from Put-
ney-park-lane), in which Oughton, his wife, and son,
and daughter reside. Passing Oughton's house and
some small buildings adjacent, that have been used as a
brewery, you cross the farm-yard, and enter by means of
a wicket-crbate into the stable-yard, nearly in a parallel
line with Oughton's dwelling. In the direction of south
to north are. the stables ; the first contains four stalls ;
and in the end or easterly one were found the mutilated
remains of the murdered woman. A passage leads from
the stable-door to the harness-room, and between the
intervening space are a flight of stairs conducting to the
sleeping-room of young Oughton, immediately over the
stables, and a second room unoccupied above the har-
ness-roam. Beyond the harness-room, and immediately
facing the stable, are what is termed the poney's loose
box, with four divisions in it, and to the west of that the
coach and chaise-houses. In front of the stables, &c., is
a square yard, and the view of passers-by is completely
shut out by a range of buildings skirting Putney-park-
lane, which are used as cattle sheds.
Good, it was supposed, cohabited with a woman living
in South-street, Manchester-square. This woman it has
been alleged was the wife of Good, and the mother of the
little boy, about ten or twelve years of age, who was
alluded to at the inquest. It is this woman who is judged
to have been murdered. It would appear from the
statements of the boy, that, although she went by the
name of Good, and he called her mother, her proper name
was Jane Jones, and that she was the sister of his
mother, who died about seven or eight years ago, and
that his mother, as she was called, lodiced at No. 18,
South-street, Manchester-square, and maintained herself
by washing and mangling. This woman visited Good
on Easter Sunday last, and was accompanied by the boy
alluded to. She took tea along with the boy and Good
in the harness-room (adjoing the stables), where the
police found the supposed calcined remains of the skull
and arms and thigh-bones of the murdered woman.
Oughton's daughter states that Jane Jones and Good
on that .occasion seemed to be on excellent terms, and
that Jones, who appeared to be a cheerfawoman, shook
hands heartily with her on taking her leave.
Good's son states, that on Sunday afternoon last he saw
his " mother" about two o'clock for the last time at
home (18, South-street, Manchester-square), imme-
diately to Baker-street Sunday
School.previous
evisoauyss tthoathihse gdoidinngot see his father upon that
day, but that his " mother" told him she was going out,
and that, upon his asking her to take him with her, she
refused, saying that his father would not let her do so.
This would appear to be worthy of credit, for the lad
when questioned as to whether Jane Jones told him she
was going to see his father, states, " No, she did not
state that, but I know she was going, because she said
father would not let me go with her." The lad adds that
he went to a friend of his mother's, named Young, who
lives at No: 99, East-street, Paddington, and that he slept
there on Sunday night. He states, his mother wore on
the Sunday a striped, or light-checked coloured dress,
and that the bonnet usually worn by her was a blue silk
one.
We learn that Good drove a part of Mr. Sheill's
family to and from chapel on Sunday morning, but he
did not dine with the other servants*on that day, and we
do not hear of him again until Sunday night, when he
accompanied by a woman, to the.

This woman was observed to have worn a light striped
dress, and what by candle-light is thought to have been
a lilac-coloured silk bonnet. This description, it will
be seen, agrees to a certain extent with the statement
of the boy, who was represented by the Coroner to be
one of the most important witnesses in the investigation.
After leaving the King's Head, Good went to the
Angel, but was riot then accompa&cd by the female.
He there had a pint of ale, and a portion of two or three
glasses of gin and water, and then left.
