THE MURDERS IN !lATCLIFFE-NIaIiWAT.

- - ,
The sensation excited by these most ferocious mur.
tiers has become -so general, and the curiosity to see
the place where they were committed so intense, that
Ratcliffe-highway was rendered almost impassable
by the throng of spectators, before ten o'clock yester-
day morning. ' The crowd continued to thicken until
about two o'clock in the afternoon, when Mr. UNwIN,
the Coroner, arrived at the Jolly Sailor public-house,
to preside at the Inquest over the dead bodies. The
witnesses were immediately called, and gave their
depositions as followi
WILLIAM SALTER.—" I am a Surgeon, and live in
the parish of St. Geotge. I viewed the bodies of the
deceased by desire of the Coroner—found them ia
the following state :
" Timothy Marr, the younger. The left external carrotid ar.
tery divided, the left side of the mouth laid open, with a wound
three inches in length, with several marks of violence on the left
aide of the face.

" Cecilia Marr. The left side of the cranium fractured, the
temporal bone totally destroyed, wil h a wound just above the ar-
ticulation of the jaw two Inches in length, theu winding into the
hit ear, and a wound at the back of the ear.

" Timothy Marr, the elder. The nose broken, the off occipi-
tal bone fractured, and a violent blow on the right eye.
lames Giten. Several contusions on the head and nose, with
the occipital bones dreadfully shattered, and the brains protruding'
No other marks were found. I saw sufficient cause to occasion
death in each of the parties."

MARGARET JEWELL.—" I lived servant with Mr.
Marr; I went to the counter to my master 'oho !Rai'
behind it ; he gave me a pound note ; it wanted a
few minutes to twelve ;
_I left him busy behind the
cr unter ; I went out of the door, and turned to the
left to Taylor's ; they were shut up, and I returned
again past the window, and still saw him behind the
counter; I went to St. John's-hill, to pay the baker;
they were shut up likewise ; I went with the intent
to get some oysters, but found the shops were shut
up ; I returned again to the door of my master's
house, 'I found it closely shut up, and no light to be
seen ; I think I was out about twenty minutes ; I
rang at the bell, and no one answered ; I rang re-
peatedly ; whilst I was at the door, the watchman
went by on the other side of the way, with a person
in charge ; 1 certainly heard some one coming down
stairs, which I thought was my master coming to let
me in ; I am certain I heard the child cry very low;
I rang again, and knocked at the door with my foot
repeatedly, when a man_came up to the door and in-
sulted me ; I thought I would wait till the watch-
man came, which he shortly did, and called the hour
of one, at the same time desired me to move on, not
knowing who I was ; I said I belonged to the house,
and thought it very strange I should be locked out;
he then observed they had not fastened the pin of the
window ' • the watchman then knocked, rang at the
bell, and called Mr. Marr through the keyhole; Mr.
Murray, the next door neighbour, then came out and
asked what was the matter? The watchman then told
him that I was locked out ; I continued at the door
with the watchman till Mr. Murray came out again,
and said there was a strong light backwards ; Mr.
Murray went backwards, while another watchman?
who had joined the first, made an alarni; Mr. Murray
got into the house backwards and opened the street-
door, when the watchman and myself entered."—
[Bere the poor girl, struck with the remembrance of
her mistress's mangled and bleeding body which pre-
sented itself on the opening of the door, was so over-
powered, that she fainted on the spot, and was car.
sled out in a state of insensibility.]
JOHN MURRAY—" I am a pawnbroker, residing at
No. 30, Ratcliffe Highway, next to the louse of the
deceased, Mr. Marr. About ten minutes after twelve
o'clock on Sunday morning last, I was sitting at sup-
per with my family, and heard a noise in Mr. Mary's
house, which appeared to be on the shop floor, and re-
sembled the pulling of a chair, and the sound of a
voice, as if proceeding from the_ fear of correction,
like a boy's or a woman's. This all occurred in about
a minute's space, a little before one as far as I can
recollect; I heard a ringing, at Mr. Mary's
which continued at intervals till a quarter past one ;
we were then about to go to bed ; I heard a bell ring
with additional violence, and went to the door to
know what was the matter ? I was then informed by
the watchman that the shutters were not fast by the
omission of a pin ; that the girl was shut out ;—that
she had rang at the door, and no one came to an-
swer ; 1 told the watchman to pull hard at the bell,
and that I would go at the other side of the house,
and endeavour to wake them, or make them come to
the door ; the watchman did 'pull the bell very hard,
and I went to the back of the house, and called out
Mr. Mary ! three or four different times ; no answer
was made, and I came again to the front of the
house ; I saw a light at the back of the one pair ; I
told the watchman to ring louder, and that I would
endeavour to get. into the. house by the back door ; I
scent to the back of the house, and threw self over
the fence, and finding the yard door open, immediately
proceeded mire. landing place of the first floor, where
I found a candle burning ; seeing the two doors open
where Mr. Marr used to sleep, I called out to Marr !
Marr ! your window shutters are not Listened," but
nobody answered me; and on account of its being the
bed-room I did not go in ; with the candle I went
through the shop to the front door, to let the watch-
man in ; when I got to the door, at the foot of the
stairs which leads into the shop, I raw the boy, James

. .
Moen, lying dead on the door, just within th.tt door,
and within six feet of the foot ot the stairs ; his head
was bletdin,,,,, and Ifs brains were visible going on
