I MURDER or Mrs. SrtrueNs.—Yesterday a farther investi
gation of this horrid transaction took place at Bow•-ttreetOffice.

William Corn:yell, the ostler, was brought from the House of
Correction, where confinement does not appear in the least to
have brought him to a sense of his situation, as his behaviour
during the whole of the day displayed the greatest levity, besides
making use of the most obscene and blasphemous language. lie
swore be would not walk to the Office if they pulled hint to
pieces : he was, therefore, brought double-ironed and strongly
handcuffed. He was placed: at the bar about half-past twelve
o'clock, and, during a long examination, his countenance exhi-
bited a continual laugh, or rather a sneering grin—it was the
most hardened it is possible to conceive.
A great number of depositions were taken, the substance of
which is already before the public. We subjoin only the folio*.
isg,as communicating some new circumstances:—

Mr. Ridley, the watch-maker at Woodford, proved that the
watch belonged to the deceased.
Mr Pattingale, a coach-master at Woodford, and -nester of the
prisoner, stated the prisoner to have been in his employ during
the last six weeks, as ostler, at 15e. a week : he alway► appeared
to be a very fleet), man ; he never let a week pass without bor-
rowing money. He m ver paid him a Bank note during the
time, but always with silver; he paid him Gs. on the night of the
murder. On Monday morning, when the murder was disco-
vered, he was very urgent to go to London, but his master re-
fused to let him: he asked him what he wanted to go for; he
replied, to fetch his clothes. On the Wednes-lay following (the
day he changed the deceased's watch) he went on the outside of
his coach, and returned the same evening; but too much intoxi-
cated to attend to his work. He corroborated the account the
prisoner gave of the way in which his breeches were marked
with blood, by stating, that the prisoner had bled a horse a week
' or ten days previous to the murder: be caught the blood in a
wooden bowl, rnd it tan through it on to his breeches. Ihs wife
saw him washing the breeches in water without soap, and ex-
pressed her surprue at his attempting such a thing, and offered
him some soap.
Vickery, the officer, proilueed a jacket belonging to the pri•
soner, which he had found since the first examination, one of the
arms of which was marked with blood.

Mrs. Davis, the wife of the landlord of the Sun public-house,
stated, that when the prisoner first came into her house on the
Wednesday, he bad on a new hat and blue coat: she observed
to him, that she was glad times were better with him (as he was
&eased in much better clothes than she had been in the habit of
seeing him in when he lived in that neighbourhood), and hoped
he would then pay off his old score of I 4s. td. He replied, that
although he was dressed better he had no money, but showed
her a watch, and said he had given £2. 1.55. for it (at another
time he said £2. 10s.), and if she would give hint £2 for it, and
clear off the score, she should have it ; which she not listening to,
he proposed to let her have it for £l.: her husband and he at
length exchanged watches.

'1 he Ostler at the Axe and Gate Inn In Holborn, stated, that
the prisoner called on him on the Wednesday morning, previous
to his going to the Sun public-house, and paid hint a shilling that
he owed him ; 'hewed also a watch, which he believed to be the
same as had been Identified to be the deceased's. Prisoner told
him he had given upwards of Xs for it, but did not say how
much, and pressed him extremely to purchase it, or 'CO exchange
it for bis watch; but be declined doing either.
Mr. E. aville, , a shopkeeper at Wuodf ird, stated, that on the
Sunday morning alter the murder, he sold the prisoner a hat and
waistcoat for Ll. ls.: he paid him a Li Bank of England note
and a shilling.
Mx. Pattingale, the prisoner's master, In addition to the above,
stated, that alter the prisoner returned from London, he ob-
served a visible difference in his behaviour, he frequently ap-
pearing very dejected.
The prisoner, on being asked if be had any thing to say, re-
peated his account of his having found the watch near the pond.
On his being asked, bow he came to give different accounts of
hiving possession of It ? he shortly replied, he had swapped the
watch; that was all he had to say, and they might hang him up,
if they pleased.
1 he Churchwarden was bound over to prosecute him for the
murder, in a recogninance of £100; and the witnesses were
bound over to appear, in £5O each.
