Plymouth. The Malabar, it is said, is to be converted into a
troop-ship.
Large drafts of seamen volunteers are :daily brought to this
port, and lodged on board the guard ships St. Vincent and
Victory, for general service. Orders have also been received
to obtain serviceable landsmen.

Accounts have been received here, reporting the arrivals at
Malta, on the Ist April, of Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Owen,
K.C.8., ►n her Majesty's ship Queen, 110, last from Gibral-
tar, and of his having assumed the chief command of the fleet

The Wellesley, 72, Capt. Maitland, by letters of the 15th
January, may be looked for in England next July, to be paid

SPRING.-At this period of the year Cutaneous
Diseases very frequently occur, and thereby shows the
absolute necessity of preserving the skin in a pure and
healthy state, so that its functions may he duly per-
formed,—Obstruction of the Fluids through the pores of
the skin very often take place, and from the acrid and
ponderous particles which are left behind, the disordered
state of the secreting office is disturbed, and thereby
.produces symptoms of great virulence, which are not
only distressing, but most unpleasing to the sight ; and,
above all others, when the face is attacked, the suffering
is often extremely great. In stating this well known
fact, we beg to call the roader's attention to that admi-
rable and unique discovery—ROWLAND'S KALYDOR, a
mild and most efficacious preparation, that dispels all ir-
ritabilityfrom the skin, gently assists in opening the pores,
rtteves the secretions, and gradually establishes a white
and perfect skin of transparent beauty 1

ADMIRAL liEepEL.—We understand that a, niche
in our naval and national biography is about to be filled up by
the publication of the memoirs of this distinguished Com-
mander, written by his descendant, the Hon. and Rev. T.
Keppel (son of the Earl of Albemarle), who possesses for his
task an extensive collection of family papers of great historical
value. This narrative of the Admiral's career can, therefore,
hardly fail to become one of the most important contributions
to our naval history ever given to the public. As a midship-
man, Keppel went round the world with Anson. In 1778,
being Admiral of the Blue, he commanded the Channel Fleet,
and commenced the war against France, and in 1782 became a
Cabinet Minister and First Lord of the Admiralty. The Ad-
miral was the contemporary and friend of Hawke, Eoscawen,
Anson, Howe, and Rodney, many letters from, or respecting
whom, together with several other distinguished characters of
the time, will enrich these volumes.

greet him on his arrival.
The excitement which existed in the public mind, and which
manifesited itself in so conspicuous a manner on the occasion of
(isod's previous examinatione'has not one whit allayed since
that time; and by ten o'cldels the whole of Bow-street was
densely crowded with living beings, all anxious to catch a
glimpse of the wretched man.
At the former examination we had occasion to notice the
discourtesy which was exhibited towee ds gentlemen of the press;
it ii our eleasine duty to-day, however, to have to express our
high gratification at the manner in lich the whole business
was conducted. The representatives of the public press were
admitted shortly after piste o'clock, and every convenience was
afforded to them. Mr. Alexander O'Driscoll, au artist of
some celebrity in this pat thular line, was also present for the
purpose of taking a sketch of the prisoner and the Court.
Every available part of the Court was filled with well-
dressed individuals, and the platform was crowded with gentle-
teen of rank, amongst whom we noticed the Earl of Uxbridge,
Lords George and Willia.n Lennox, Sir George Wombwell, the
Hon. Captain Ryder Burton, Lord Montfort, and other gen-
tlemen of fashion. '
Mr. HALL, the sitting Magistrate, took his Feat at half-past
ten, when Daniel Good was placed at the bar,,,eharged with
the wilful asurder of Jane Jones, alias Good.
Mr. Maule, the 'solicitor to the Treasury, attended on behalf
of the prosecution ; and Good was unrepresented.
Good appeared at the bar today dressed in a rough blue
Petersham coat, waistcoat and trousers, and a blue neckerchief
round his throat. lie looked well on entering the dock, and
was quite calm. Ile stood, as on the former occasion, with his
chin resting on his hand.
Mr. Maule said he had the honour of attending on behalf of the
Crown to carry on this prosecution. It was not his intention to
enter into the te,atares of the case at any great length, as they were
all well known to the Magistrate and the kingdom at large.
He should content himself at present with calling the attention
of the Magistrate to a few dates, and the first was Wednesday,
6th April. On that day a search having been made at the
stables of a Mr. Shiell, in Putney Park-lane, a discovery was
made of the remains of a female ; at the search the prisoner
was present, and whilst it was going on he made his escape.
On Sunday, the 3d of April, a person of the name of Jane
Jones, or Jane Good, who resided at No. 18, South-street,
Manchester-square, left her home, meaning to return, as he
should show, early next morning. She was in company with
the prisoner in the afternoon of that day from the hour of four
till half-past eight or nine in the evening, which was the last
time this unfortunate person was seen alive. She was then in
the neighbourhood of Roehampton. From the afternson of
the Sunday up to this day per tidings had been heard of her being
in existence. Ile should show what became of the prisoner from
the 3d up to the 6th ; and fie would now call the attention of
the Magistrate to the 1 lth of April, and he would show what
became of the prisoner from the 6th up to that day when he
offered himself in the capacity of a bricklayer's labourer at
Tonbridge, and was accepted. He remained there till the
16th, when he was taken into custody.
The first witness called was police constable William Gardi-
ner, V 279, who deposed as follows:—On the 6th April, I was
on duty in Wandsworth town. On that day I went to the
stables of Mr. Shiell, in Putney Park-lane, for the purpose of
taking the coachman into custody on the charge of stealing a
pair of trowsers, Two lads, named Dagnall and Speed, ac •
companied me. (The witness here recounted the same evi-
dence precisely as was taken before Mr. Hall on the morning of
Monday last, and which appeared in The Sun of the same day.)
L Whtlst this witness was giving his evidence, and reciting
the circumstances attendant on the finding of the mutilated
remains of the unfortunate female, the prisoner appeared
exceedingly uneasy, and trembled very much. Mr. Hall oh•
serving this, told him that he might sit down if he chose to do
so. Prisoner availed himself of the oepoitunity, and leaning
his head upon his hands on the front of the bar, almost imme-
diately went off in a tainting fit. The handkerchief round
his neck was loosened by the gaoler, and some water having
been procured, in a few minutes he recovered himself, and re-
sumed his standing posture.]
The prisoner said he had no questions to put to this witness.
Robert Speed was nt xt called, and confirmed the evidence
he gave on a previous occasion, and which has a'so already ap-
peared in The Sun of Monday last and other dates.
Thomas Houghton,sen., late gardener in the employ of Mr.
Shiell, was also called, and his evidence was similar to that
given on Monday last, except in one particular. On that occa-
sion he stated that on the morning of Tuesday he perceived a
great quantity of smoke issuing from the chimney of the liar-
ness-room,
accompanied with an offensive smell, such as is
raised from the singeing of horses; to-day he . tated that there
wes no smell at all perceptible.
Samuel Palmer, Police-sergeant V 6', was next called, and
deeosed as follows :—On the night of \Veda( sday, the 6th
of April, I was. stationed at Priest-bridge, Putney, on the
Richmond-roail, which is about one mile from 11.1 r. Shiell's
stables. On that night, about half-past eleven o'clock, I went
to those stables. I found police-constable Gardiner, Houghton,
his son, and Speed there. They showed me the trunk of a
female, which was lying in an open stall. I searched the
stable, and in the next stall I found a mattress and two
blankets tied up with a piece of cord.
Mr. HALL (to witness)—From your observati in of the
body could you tell whether the injsry had been lately done to
the body? Witness--I should say it was not at any great
length of time.
Examination continued—l went to the harness-rooom ;I •
searched the stove, and found some pieces of bone, which I
now produce (they were here handed an, and had the appear-
ance of calcined bane). When I went into the harness-room
I perceived a strong stilling stench, like that which would
arias from burnt animal substance. I have smelt that smell
before from meat being burned in the tire. I also found on
the corn-bins in the harness-room a parcel of keys, some loose
and some tied together, which are now in the possession of Tee,
the parish constable. I put the keys in my pocket, and lost
them; but I have seen them since in the possession of the
parish constable.
Mr. HALL (to the prieonet)•--Do you wish to ask this wit-
ness any question? Prisoner—No, your Worship, I don't.
Robert Tee was then called, and said, I am the constable of
Roehampton. Having heard of the circumstance on Thurs-
day evening, I went to the stables of Mr. Shiell, after I had
been to the Coroner ; it was about four in the afternoon.
There were many people present, Barnes, the policeman, and
others. I saw the trunk of a female lying in the stable. On
Friday night I went again ; and in the stable, opposite to where
the body was found, 1 found some keys. 1 took possession of
them, and now produce them, eleven in number.
Palmer was re-called, and identified the keys produced, as
those which be hail found.
Tee re-called—l was present at the inquest. I burled the
body on Friday last in Putney churchyard, between 2 and 3 in
the afternoon.
Mr. HALL (to witness)—Who pointed out the body to you?
Wituess—l do not know, Sir.
Police constable Josiah Tye, V 199, deposed as follows :—I
was stationed at Wandsworth on the night of Wednesday, April
6th. I went to Mr. Shiell's stable at a quarter to 10 that
night. I found Gardiner there, and made a search. I saw
the trunk of a female there. I afterwards went to the harness-
room, and observed a very fulsome, sickly smell. like the burn-
ing of the rind of a piece of pork, or burnt hair. I searched
the fire-place, 'and I found two pieces of a skull in the ashes,
which I now produce. I found other fragments of human
bones in the furnace of the fire-place, which 1 also produce.
They have been in my possession eser since. 1 went on the
Tuesday following (April 12) again to the stables, and made a
search in the coach house. I examined the four-wheeled
chaise, and on removing the cushions, and opening the lid of
the driving-box, a very bad smell rose from is, and on the out-
side of the box was a small piece of flesh. I not got that
with me, but it is in my possession.
The prisoner would put no question to this witness.
John Houghton, jets., was next called and spoke as follows.
I am the son of Thomas Houghton, sen., and was in the em-
ploy of Mr. Shiell as under gardener. I was in my father's
house on the evening of the 6th April; about half-past nine on
thatnight, the prisoner's little boy came up with my sister
crying, to my.father's house, and an consequence of what he
sad I went the stable, when I found my father, Gardiner, and
Speed ; I did not see the coachman. At twelve o'clock
that night my father told me what was in the stable,
end I then went to the stable and saw the trunk
of a female in one of the stalls : there are four
rooms over the stable. I occupied one of them. The
door of the room which I occupied was always left open. It
was over the space between the harness-room and the stable.
There was a furnace in the harness-room. On Tuesday morn-
ing
at five o'clock I came down from my room about half-past ,
six. The prisoner was in the stable. I smelled a very uncom-
mon smell, and I asked him if he had been singeing the horses,
which the smell led me to imagine had been done. He said he
had been in liquor over night, and had bean toasting
some cheese for refreshment. The fire was lighted
at that time in the , harness-room. I heard it burn-
ing. Prisoner said it, was for the purpose of dryirg the
harness. The prisoner kept the key of the harness-room.
have known the prisoner for two years and a quarter, during '
which time he acted as coachman to Mr. Shiell. He has told
me that his little boy was at school in London, and was in the
care of hit (prisoner's) sister. He did not say what part of
London it was at, more than that it was at the West-end. 1
lean: seen the female he called his sister at the stable three
times ; the last time 'was on Easter Monday last, about
ten o'clock in the morning. I do not recollect when
the other visits were paid, but they were about
three or four months since. He introduced her to me as
his sister. I have seen the little boy with her on one occasion. '
I have seen Susan Butcher at the stables also, in company with
the prisoner. 1 have seen her there four or fire times. The
last time was about a month since, and the first time I should
think was about ten or twelve months ago. I never knew either
of the females to stay there at night. The prisoner has
always told me in conversations that I have had with
him that he could neither read nor write. Good had the
key of the stable, but I could get to my room without going
through it ; he always kept the stable door locked. The woman
he called his si-ter, when she called, used always to wear a
light blue bonnet. I slept in my room every night. I was
there on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday night. I heard no
noise during any of those nights. Those were the only two
females that I ever saw in the stable.
John Busain examined-1 am an Inspector of the V division
of Police. On Wednesday, 6th April, I was stationed at
Wandsworth. On the night of that day, I went to the stable
of Mr. Shiell. I found Mr. Bicknell, the Superintendent, Ser-
jeant Pella-lan, and police constable Tye there. I went into
the stable on the right hand ; and, in the stable, under the win-
dow, I saw the trunk of a female lying. I afterwards went into
the harness-room, and broke open a box which was locked, 1
found nothingein it save some man's clean linen. I then reacted
the table-drawer, and found the knife I produce—(it is a knife
with a long Spanish blade. The knife appeared to me to be
smeared with something, which I believed at the time to be
blood. It also had the appearance of having been lately
sharpened and rusted since, though it still kept the edge.
afterwards searched the fire-place, and on the right side of
it I found this axe, which I now produce. It appears to me
to be a common chopping axe. Upon each side of the edge and

Mr. Maule said—Sir, that closes the first class of evidence
on the night of the 6th. I will now take you, Sir, to the second
class of evidence—that is, the day of the 3d.
Jane Brown examined—l am the wife of -John Brown,
he is a greengrocer residing at No. 18, South-street,
Manchester-square. I knew a female- of the name of
Jane Jones three years last October. She took a
lodging in my house, the front and back kitchens. She lived
with me as lodger up to Sunday, April 3, occupying the front
kitchen. I know the person at the bar. I saw him about
three years ago occasionally call to see Jane Jones. He
used to come about once a day generally. He was then living
in service; but I thought he left then for the country, and
in consequence he did not come for some months. Jane Jones
had two lodgers with her when first she came, but bad no re-
lations with her. She had a little boy with her about
two years ago. He came to live with her. His father
left him there. He went by the name of Daniel Good. He
appeared to be about 8 years of age then. He continued to
live with Jane Jones till she left the house. She changed her
name about six months after she came to live with me. I have
seen the prisoner with the little boy at the house. He used
to come and visit the boy ; he went to school in Dorset-street ;
his mother I believe placed him there. The boy called Mrs.
Good' mother," and the prisoner "father." When the prisoner
came of late to visit her he generally drove in a pony-chaise, and
that would be about two or three times a week. Prisoner told me
the hoy was his son. The prisoner paid the rent of the
lodgings to me for the last three years. I saw Mrs. Good
last alive on Sunday, April 3, between the hours of two and
three in the afternoon. I heard her lock her room-door, come
up stairs, and go out at the private door. I walked into the
street to see who it was, and I saw it was she ; she went in the
direction of Manchester-square. She wore a blue bonnet ; I
had seen her in that bonnet many times before ; she also wore
a mingled dark brown or red cotton gown, and a shawl with
coloured flowers, on a Week ground, and black boots.
She had no one with her. heard the little boy go out about
two; he was gone, as I thought, to the Sunday-school.
During the time Mrs. Good lived with me, except on Easter
Sunday, she had never been absent before. I have not seen
her since. I did net see the little boy again that day. He did
not sleep at home. I saw the prisoner the next morning about
eleven o'clock. He came on foot, and came into the shop.
He asked me if he could have the room three weeks longer,
and he told me Mrs. Good was gone, and would not return.
He had told me about a fortnight before that she was going to
take care of a gentleman's lodge. On Monday morning he
said she would not return, as she was gone to her place. He
said he wanted the rooms three weeks longer, because there
was a mangle to be disposed of and a bed, which she would want.
He added that he was going to take the little boy away. He came
again in the afternoon with the little boy, and he staid re few mi-
nutes. He only called with the boy; and when I heard the little
boy was going away, I called him back and gave him an orange.
He and the boy then went away together. I aw the prisoner
again the next night about ten o'clock. lie went into the
kitchen by means of the key which he had. The kitchen door
was fastened with a padlock, and I heard him unlock the door.
He said he had come to town to take his family to a ball. I
asked how Mrs. Good was? He said he did not know; he
had not seen her that day. I did not see him afterwards till
now. On Wednesday night, about twelve o'clock, I heard his
voice at the street door of my house, but I did not see him. Illy
husband let him in. (A blue silk bonnet was here produced 111
Court.) This is the bonnet Mrs. Good wore, on the 3d of
April, when she left my house. This is the dress she left my
house in. She wore boots similar to those produced.
Mr. HALL—What is the reason of your speaking so posi-
tively to the bonnet? Witness—Only from the colour and
make.

Mary Ann Clark examined—l am a married woman. My
husband is a tailor. We went to lodge in the same house as
Mrs. Good. We occupied the second floor back room. Jane
Good lived in the front kitchen. She had a little boy named
Daniel Good with her for about two years. He used to call her
mother. She kept a mangle and took in washing occasionally.
I was acquainted with the prisoner. He used to come once a
week. She told me that he was her husband, and the little boy
called him "father.," The bonnet produced is blrs. Good's. I made
it myself about two years and a half ago. It is the
same silk, but it has been re-made. I last saw Mrs. Good
on Sunday morning, the 3d April, about ten o'clock.
She was then in the back-yard. I have never seen her
since. I have seen her dressing, and I think I saw a
mole just above the collar-bone. I produce a piece of silk
which is the same as that of which the bonnet is made. The
handkerchief which was produced by Inspector Busain, and
was stained with blood, I have seen her wear upon her neck,
or one similar to it. The flannel also produced by Inspector
Busain, I believe to be Mrs. Good's. I know it by its peculiar
make—the wide band and the narrowness of the top. This
key (one of the bunch produced by the Inspector) I knew ; it
is the key of the street door, and the worsted guard, with
which the keys arc tied, I also know; Mrs. Good used to wear
it round her neck every day.
Elizabeth Christie examined—l am the •.vir e of Mr. Christie.
We lived in the saute house as Mrs. Good, and occupied the
first fluor. I knew Mrs. Good. She had al ittle boy named
Dan. Good living with her; I knew him; he called Mrs. Good
mother. The prisoner at the bar I also know ; he used to
visit Mrs. Good ; the little boy called him father. I last saw
Mts. Good on Sunday, the 3d of April. I saw her at twelve
o'clock. It was at her own door. She came there to speak to
me. She did speak to me. I did not see her go out. I did
not see the boy that day. I saw the prisoner on the sth of
April, at half-past ten in the evening. He was unlocking Mrs.
Good's room; a little boy was bolding a light to him. I
spoke to him. I called over the stairs " Who is there ?"
He answered " Me." I said " WhO is me ?" He said " Good ;
we're at a ball this evening." I then saw that it was the pri-
soner. I asked him if that was his little boy with him, as his
back was to me ; he answered "My little boy is in the coun-
try with his mother." When I saw Mrs. Good last time I
had some conversation with her; she did not tell me where
she was going. These articles (bonnet, gown, handkerchief,
and shawl) I- know to be those belonging to Jane Good. I
speak positively to them ; I altered the trimming on the bonnet
about nine months ago; it was a blue bonnet. This key I know;
it is the key of the street-door; the guard, too, I know; she
always wore it round her neck.
Sarah Young examined—l am a widow. I live at No. 99,
East-street, Manchester-square; that is only a few steps from
South. street. lam a near, neighbour of Mrs. Brown's. I
knew Mrs. Good; she lived at Brown's, the green-grocer's.
She had a little boy with her. I often saw her. I saw her last,
about half-past twelve, on Sunday, 3d April. Ihave never
seen her shwa. She came to me then, and asked me to take the
little boy, and give him a night's lodging. I refused, and she
begged of me for God's sake to take him. She said, she dared
not takeihim with her. She was to return on Monday morn-
ing. I did take him. He slept at my house till Monday more-
ing, eight o'clock, and then .he went to school.
Mr. Lavender Leyton examined—l live at Putney. lam a
confectioner. I know the prisoner at the bar perfectly well. I
met him on Sunday, April 3, on the road leading to the Sus-
pension-bridge, Hammersmith, about half-way between the
Suspension-bridge and the Red Lion. He was in company
with a female. it was about a quarter before four in the after-
noon. He asked me how I was. He introduced me to the
female that was with him, and said, " My sister, Mr. Leyton."
She had on a dark dress and shawl, I did not notice her dress
particularly. They were going towards Barnes, and I was
going towards Hammersmith.

John Brown examined—_l keep the Coach and Horses at
Barnes. I know the pi isoner at the bar. I saw him on Sun-
day, April 3, about four o'clock, at my house. He had a
female with him. I had some conversation with him—that
he asked me how I was ? I said, " How do you do, coachman ?"
and be introduced me to the woman, and said, is my

- Nike Constable Robert Payling, V 2-18--I was on duty on
Sunday 3d April, on the Richmond-road. I know a place
called Priest-bridge. It is about half-a-mile from Putney
Park-lane. I know the prisoner. I saw him on Sunday on the
Richmond-road at half-past six in the evening, about a quarter
of a mile from Priest-bridge ; there was a female in his company.
They were going towards Putney Park-lane. The woman
wore a blue bonnet and a dark-coloured gown. I could hear
the woman discoursing very loudly, apparently in an angry tone.
By Mr. HALL—It did not occur to me at the time that they
were having any words with each other.
George Royal examined—l keep the King's Head, at Roe-
hampton. I know the prisoner at the bar. I saw him on
Sunday, the 3d of April, about seven o'clock in the evening.
He had a female with him. She was dressed in a light
bonnet. I could not see the colour as it was dusk.
He called for a glass of gin and water, of which they partook.
I observed nothing particular about the drinking, more than
that the female drank reluctantly. I mean by that, that he
pressed her to drink oftener than she seemed to wish to take
it. They left the house together a little after 8 o'clock. I
do not know which road they went.
Lydia Susannah Butcher.—( When this witness was called
the prisoner sat down in the dock and leaned his head upon his
hands on the front of the bar. )—I am the daughter of W. Butcher,
who is a shipwright at 13, Charlotte-row, Woolwich. I
am a single woman, living with my-father. I have known the
prisoner for some time. I have been intimate with him. He
has several times visited me at my father's house, Woolwich.
I have been at Putney Park-lane three times, when he sent
for me. I went once to him to the stables ; I remained there
all night, and returned home the next day. That was about a
fortnight before Wednesday, the 6th of April. I saw him on
Wednesday, the 6th, at my father's house; he came there in
a small pony- chaise.—( The prisoner here resumed his stand-
Mg posture, but still kept his face covered with his hands.)
lie had a little boy with him who called him father. It was be-
tween three and four in the afternoon. He stayed till five. He
brought me five or six articles in the chaise and those boots,
bonnet, handkerchief, gloves, &e., were the articles he brought
me. (These were the things which had teen identified as the
property of Jane Jones.) He said he had brought them as a
present to me, if I would accept them. Ile said they had been
his wife's. ( The prisoner here raised his hand from his face,
and looked affectionately at the witness, the effect of.which Wa3
a shower of tears from her.) He had promised to bring me
some things about a month or six weeks before; and all
he said when he gave me the things was, that the bonnet would
fit me, and that he had more things for me. He did not say
when he should bring them. Ile also had some little squares of
silk, shot colour, made like shawls, but these he did not leave.
He had tea with us. When he went away, I went with him,
and my sister, a little girl, also went half way to Greenwich.
She then got out. I went on as far as New Cross. Ile told
the little boy then that he was to call me mother, because his
aunt was gone into the country. At New Cross we
all got out, and went to a public-house, when
we remained a short time. He and the little boy then went
home in the chaise, and I returned home also. The next (lay
a policeman named Parry called on me, and I delivered to him
the bonnet and other things. Prisoner said, in the course of 1
the drive, something about a mangle, and I was to go to see it
either on Saturday or Sunday. I was to meet htm at Putney,
and we were to go together.
Mr. HA LL—Do you recollect any place in London where he
said you were to see the mangle? Witness—He told me, but
1 forget. If the place were mentioned to me 1 think I should
recollect it.
Mr. HALL—Was it North-street or South-street? Witness
—I think it was South-street.
Mr. HALL—Do you recollect the name of the square?
Witness—lt was Manchester-square.
Mr. HA LL—Did he say to whom it belonged, or why you
were to have it ? Witness—No. He said his sister was gone
into the country, that was an.
Mr. HALL (to the prisoner)—Do you wssn to ask Butcher
any questions ? Prisoner—Your Worship, 1 have got a good
deal to say yet, but not this time.
Police-sergeant James Parry, BR, examined—l went to the
house of the last witness on Thursday, 7th. I received front
her all the things now lying before me (gown, bonnet, &c.
before referred to).
Prisoner—Your Worship, I have one word to speak to you :
will you ask Susan Butcher where the shawl is ?
Susan Butcher was then re-called, and
The Prisoner said—Susan l've one question to put to you :
you've brought all tin so things, why not as well bring the
shawl? I gave it to you, as well as the other things, and you
might as well have given it up. Witness—l have nothing of
yours; Sir, I have given all up.
Prisoner—You had a shawl, a large shawl ? Witness—No,
I have not.
Mr. HALL—Did the prisoner give you a shawl at the time
when he gave you the other things? Witness—No, he did not.
Prisoner—She put it on her, your Worship—l've got a great
deal to say, but not now. She might as well have brought the
shawl as the other things.
Robert Goulding, police-sergeant V 31—I searched the
kitchen in South-street, in company with Inspector Busain, on
9th April, and found these articles which I now produce.
( They are small pieces of printed cotton, of the same pattern
and material as the dress before alluded to ; and some strips of
blue silk, which were of the same colour as the bonnet. )
Mr. HA LL—Do you wish to ask this witness any questions?
Prisoner—No, your Worship; I know nothing at all about
h:m. rye nothing to do with him.

Daniel Good, jun., was then called, and the prisoner here
sat down and wept bitterly : he appeared to feel deeply. I am
10) ears of age, and have been to Sunday School and learned to
read my letters and say my catechism.
By Mr. HA 1.1.—1 f 1 were to take an oath. and were to tell
you a lie, I should go to hell. My father was coachman to Mr.
Shitil. Till within the last fortnight I used to live with my
mother in South-street, Manchester-square. My father used
to come and see us sometimes. That is my father (look-
ing to the prisoner). 1 last saw my mother on Sunday
before last. She was in South-street then. I went to
church on the morning of that day. I did net see
my mother after I came from church. I did not expect to find
her at home when 1 got front church. After church I went
to 99, East. street, in consequence of some conversation I had
had with my mother- I slept there that night, and the next
morning I went to school. I saw my father that day. My
father went to South-street, and I was sent. for front school.
My father told me my mother was gone to service, that I need not
expect to see her for 6 months. He stayed at South-street about
a quarter of an hour, and then he took me to Blandford-street,
and then to George-street. He took me to a carriage, and we
rode a little way. lie then asked a man to put me into at,
omnibus, which he did. The omnibus took me to Itochamp-
ton. Aly father did not tell me that the omnibus would take
me to Roehampton. I went to Mr. Bakes's, a publican, and
he took me to Mr. Shiell's, where I got about nine o'clock,
and slept all night. Ott Tuesday 1 went to Priest-
bridge, to see Mrs. Hester, with my father. I
stopped at Putney that day, and slept at Mrs. Hester's. On
Wednesday morning I went to Putney Park-lane, and saw my
father there ; my father and I then went. to Woolwich in a
pony-chaise. Father took a small bandbox with him in the
chaise ; there was a blue bonnet in it ; I knew the bonnet ; it
was my mother's ; 1 had seen my mother wear it ; 1 do not
recollect how long she had had it. but it was a long time. My
father also had with hint a small basket, with some tea-cakes in
it. We then went to my cousin ; my cousin is Susan Butcher ;
my father told me that she was my cousin. We stayed there
about a quarter of an hour. My father took the things out of
the chaise into the kitchen. 1 went into the kitchen to have
tea, and I saw the things there ; they were left there. When
we left there, Susan Butcher and my cousin, who is a little
girl about 13 years of age, went with us; the little girl did not
go a great way with us ; Susan went as far as the railway.
illy father told me that I was to call Susan Butcher my
mother. We stopped at the railway. My father and Susan
Butcher got out and went into a public-house, where they re-
mained about ten minutes. I stopped with the potty. Susan
Butcher then went home, and my father remained with me.
We went through Wandsworth on the road home, and made a
stop at Mr. Collingborne's, the tailor. My father bought a
pair of breeches there, and put them in the chaise. Ile then got
into the chaise again, and we drove to Putney Park-lane. We
got there about nine o'clock. I then went into the stable-ysrd,
and was going up to the house, when a policeman came and
said he wanted Mr. Good, the coachman. I then went into
the stable, and the policeman searched the stable. Father ran
out and locked us in. I did not see my father any more that
night. 1 have not seen hint since till now.
Prisoner—Your Worship, will you allow me to question him I
Mr. lIALL—Yes.
Prisoner—Oh, my dear boy, don't cry'
The little fellow here began to cry most piteously, and the
prisoner also seemed very much affected.
Mr. BALL (to the prisoner)—You'll have an opportunity
by and by.
Prisoner—Thank you, Sir.
Mr. Maule—This, Sir, closes the second part of the evi•
deuce, up to twelve o'clock of the 6th. I shall now enter upon
the third part, and trace him up to the time that he was taken
into custody.
The Court then adjourned for a few minutes to take re-
freshment ; and, on re-assembling,
Mr. Maule intimated that he thought they should not be able
to proceed with the cases of Ann Good and Gamble to-day,
as it would be late before this would be eoneludeg.
Richard Salmon examined—l live as a potman at the Bed-
ford Arms, South-street, 111anchester-stitare. I know the
rimer. tic came to our house in a cab, No. 700, a few

Mr. HA 1.1.—D0 you with to ask this person any question ?
Prisoner—l never gave her the things, Sir. She pinned
'em. 1 didn't know that she had so many things. She
pinned 'em for herself, unbeknownst to me.
Daniel Good, jun., was recalled, and recognised the two
boxes produced by the last witness, as his mother's. He said
I've seen them every day. I saw them on Saturday, April 2.
William 11I‘Evoy sworn—l reside at No. 2, Laundry-sard,
NVestminster. lam a pavior. I was at work in the Poultry
on Thursday morning, April 7. There were two others with
me at work. Igo to work at six o'clock. I saw the prisoner
there about three minutes past six in the morning . ge
was on foot and had nothing with him. He asked
us to do something in some language whirl we
did not understand. He then asked my conv.ade, in
English, to write a direction. He said he could nut do that
neither. lie then asked me if I would do it. I. said I had no
objection. We then went to the Three Turfs in Coleman-
street. We had a quartern of gin, and he called for a sheet of
paper and pen and ink. I then wrote according to what he
told me. I asked him what name I should put to the bottom
of it, and he said " Daniel Good." He said it was to go to Mr.
Shiell's, Roehampton (tine letter was produced). When
had written it. 1 inclosed a duplicate in it, and folded it 'up.
The letter, as far as it could be read, was to this effect
"My dear Sir,—l hope you will take care of my little boy.
I took tea on Sunday evening at Cox's Fields, Deptford. I
kept company with SUSS/I Butcher since Christmas last ; she
is the cause of all my misfortunes. I am not a single man.
but I buried my wife seven years ago. You will find a -mat-
tress and two blankets in the straw in the stable, ishisSii Susan
Butcher and me slept on since Christmas last."
The prisoner appeared exceedingly anxious
chat this letter
should be read ; but no one could make s:'emore of it than
the portion we have given, which was rer( by the last witness
who wrote it.
Anthony Tyc examined—l an sa hair-dresser, at Bromley
in Kent. On Sunday, 10th ',it,Sl.ll, a little after eleven o'clock,
the prisoner came to nisi. liouac to be shaved. He had a hod
and a large bundle with him. I partly shaved him, but
ore of us became agitated, and I did not finish him. The first
thing that attracted my attention wassthat when he came in,
instead of sitting dovvir where my chair is always placed in the
light near the door, he turned the chair round, and sat with his
back to the light. There was a proclamation for Good's ap-
prehension exhibited at the police station opposite my house.
Being impressed with the idea that the prisoner was like Good, I
made some observations to a young,' man trained Addis, who was
in the shop, about the murder at Roehampton. I did not ob-
sure that the conversation affected the prisoner. He gave
tire a penny for shaving him ; he said that he had been travel-
hug about for a good many days, and he hoped that would be
sulliti ant. lie said that he was going into the country to took
for a job. I said it was very strange that a bricklayer's
labourer should go to look for a job on a Sunday
" and to tell you the truth," I said, "I don't think you've been
a bricklayer's labourer at all for the last three months." Ha
said, " Well, to tell you the truth, I've not been a bricklayer
long, but I've been in a capacity which made it necessary tor
me to shave every day, and I don t feel comfortable without it."
Prisones•—"What was my dress ? Witness—A fair of low
shoes .nd white cotton stockings; a pair of fustian overalls, and
a black waistcoat.
Prisoner--Yes, that's quite right.
SVillianin Addis examined—l am a market-gardener, living
at Plaistow, in the parish of Bromley. 1 was in the shop of
the last witness on Sunday, the 10th of April. I had a conver-
sation about the murder. As soon as it began, the prisoner
turned his chair from the light, and trembled very much.
Mr. Mauls (to the Magistrate)-1 will now bring you to the
end of this long inquiry, Sir.
Thomas Rose examined—l live at Tonbsidge, and am a
bricklayer's labourer. I was working for Mr. Barrett t the
railway station on the llth April last. I saw he prisoner
there on the 15th ; he had been to dinner, and I thought I
knew him ; and on the pith 1 saw him again, and was certain
that I had seen him before at Putney Park-lane, about 16
months ago. lie was coachman then to Mr. Shiell ; I was
then so uneasy that I could not go to work ; 1 knew there was a
proclamation out for him, and I communicated all I knew to
police-constable Lidlow. I afterwards saw him in custody at
the Angel at Tunbridge. The prisoner at the bar is the man.
Stephen Lidlow, policeman No. 4 on the South Eastern
Railway, examined—ln consequence of all I heard from the
last witness, I, in company with Mr. Humphrey, went in pur-
suit of the prisoner on Saturday, the 10th. I found him at work
on the border of the Railroad. He was searched by Mr. Hum-
phrey, and nothing but sonic halfpence found upon him. I after-
wards searched him and found a watch upon firm, and a purse
containing three sovereigns, and a half.sovereign and three
half-crowns, concealed in his stockings. On the left shoulder
tinder his shirt there was a jackonet apron. I cannot :ray
whether there were any marks upon it. He wore trousers and
a jacket which appeared to be made of fustian, and a black
waistcoat.—(They were produced.) On the collar of the
jacket there is an appearance of blood. There are also tuafla
of blood upon the trousers. This is a spoon which the p.ti-
soner produced himself.
Prisoner—l bought those clothes on Thursday morning I it-
tween the borough and Tooley-street, at a Jew's shop. I
never wore them at my master's.
George Hoare, examined—l am the chief-warden of the
House of Correction, Clerkenwell. These clothes I took fr tan
the prisoner when he was given into my charge. There s
Cr e
marks of blood upon all of them.
Mr. Maule—l propose to close my case here, and to submit
to you that there is sufficient evidence to send him to trial.
Mr. HALL (to the prisoner)—There is no obligation on 3 ou
to tell rue anything, unle,s,you wish it. If you wish to In 041
your tongue till the time of your trial arrives, you can do ssa.
Whatever you say now will be taken down and used agai ast
you. After what 1 have said, it rests with yourself to say wl ne-
ther you will make any statement or not. •
Prisoner—The clothes 1 wore at my master's have been tal ..en
from me. Those clothes I bought at Tooley-street.
Mr. 11A LL—Then, if I understand you, the clothes now pi in-
duced you never wore in your master's service?
Prisoner—Exactly. My finger bled, and that it was tl sat
marked those clothes with blood.

Mr. Maole—Perhaps I had better go on and call anotlier
vritness.

Maria Ardry examined—l am the wife of John Ardy, a
basket-maker, of Tunbridge. On Monday, the 11th of April,.
the prisoner came to my house at seven o'clock and took
lodgings. He asked if I had any lodgings. I said I had:
halt a bed. I a ..keit him his name. He said it wasss
" James," and added that he was a bricklayer's labourer at
pr. sent, but he had been a hawker of hare-skins and rabbit-e,
skins. I told biro my rules were that I would not take any
lodger unless he p.oduced some property ; he said he could do so,.
and he then want away and returned with the bundles ; one he
said he should want when he went to bed, and the other I was *
to take great care of, and not give up to any one. Ile slept at my I
house then till the day he was apprehended. I then gave the s
bundle 4 up to Mr. Humphrey the inspector. Prisoner wad
very lidgetty and restless all the time that he lived with me—
When any one came to the door he wanted to know who it wafaa
and what was their busines, and 1 was very much offended at it_.
Prisoner—Have you brought my wages, 9s. bd. Witness,
\o, I have not, but I can.
Prisoner—But why not you give it in ? 1 worked for that
money, and I ought to have it.
Mr. Humphrey, a special constable on the South Easteru
Railway, was next examined. The bundle before me is one
I had from Mrs. Ardry ; it contains a black cxJat, a child's
handkerchief, a dark pocket-handkerchief, plush waistcoat,
a pair of drab small-clothes, a small glass, a pair of drab gaiters.
The witness then paid 9s. 6d. over to the inspector, which
was given to the prisoner at his request.
Mr. iNlaule—Well, that's my case, sir,
Mr. Ha I.l,—Those clothes will be produced on your trial, if
that is what you wish.

Prisoner-1 wish, Sir, you would make the man who took
the money from nun give it to the Governor at. Coldbath-fields
for my chilld, because before 1 am tried 1 wish to give there
over.

Mr. lIA LL—I can give no order of that sort.
Prisoner—Might I request, Sir, that you would let me go
back now to the same prison that I have just come from (Cold-
bath-fields ?)
Mr. HALL,-_I cannot do that, if you are committed, you
must go to Newgate.
Mr. Maule then said, thatas it was a quarter past six,' and
the depositions mold have to be read, if they went on, he should
submit that are prisoner be remanded till to-morrow morning.
Mr. said he should rather finish to-night.
Mr, Burnaby, the Clerk, having read the depositions,
The prisoner was then fully committed for trial, and the
witnesses bound over to prosecute at the next Old Bailey
Sessions.

Prisoner—Your Worship, will you please to send use to
Coldbatti- fields ?

Mr. HALL—I can't. If 1 had to remand you I should send
you there ; but }ou are now out of my hands.
Prisoner—Will you allow me, your Worship, to see my little
boy for a moment, just to shake hands with him?
MH r. ALL—Certainly.
The prisoner was then removed at a Quarter-past Seven.
Mary Good and IL Gamble were then brought in, and
Air. HAL!, informed them that they 'were remanded till to.
morrow.

Several statements have already been-put before the public
relative to the apprehension of Daniel Good, and of the causes
which led to the result, all of which abound in inaccuracies.
The following correct version of the facts has been takes from
111 r. Humphrey, the Superintendent of the South Eastern
Railway police for Tonbridge district, by whom he was appre-
liended :
Mr. Humphrey's statement is as follows :—" On the morn-
ing of Saturday last, about 10 o'clock, I was on the line of the
South Eastern Railway, near to the town of Tonbridge, when
one of my men came to me and said that he had seen a man
named Rose, who worked on the line, and who had told him
that he had observed a person at work at some cottages ad..
