URDERS AT G R EENNICH.

aofher examination took place before
th nriegtra.tens at Greenwich. Hussey has for the ,
present escaped the vigila..ce of the Police.
Mr. John Lutton, cooper, has the care of the house
of Mr. Young, the late Greenwich Academy ; he
knew Charles Hussey from his living with Mr. Ste-
venson of No. 1, Vansittart-terrace, next door. Hus-
sey used to come to the pump to get water, and fre-
quently used to enter into conversation with him.—
About a fortnight before Christmas last, Hussey in-
formed him that he had left Mr. Stevenson ; he
brought a box, and requested him (Mr. Lutton) to
allow him to deposit it in his house until he got a
situation, and if he did not procure one shortly he
would have it removed to his brother's, at Peckham.
It was a leather trunk. While it was in hiskhouse he
frequently came and took out change of linen and
other things. Hussey was very lively in spirits both
before and after the murders were committed. Before
the murders were committed, Hussey said he ex-
pected a sum of money left him shortly, but did not,
say the amount of it. About a week before the mur-
der was committed Hussey came into his house, and
cleaned his shoes, and his paataloons with pipe clay.
He did not see him after that time until Sunday
(the day after the murders) between three and four
o'clock in the afternoon. He tried the side doter and
could not get admittance, and then came to the front
door ; he did not enter their apartment, but said ,
that he wanted to go to the privy. He came out or
the yard in about a quarter of an hour, and sat by
the fire ; the murders had been then discovered only
a few hours. Hussey was rather intoxicated, he
asked him were he had been ? and he said that he
had dined that day with his washer-woman. He setit
for a pot of porter, and took a sixpence out of his
pocket to pay for it. When he came into the house
he had a small bundle, and he went to his box with
it and left it there. He; witness, spoke to him about
the dreadful murders; he replied, "it is a most
shacking affair," and turned the conversation by
saying, that he had promised to go to his brother's,
at Peckham, to dine ; but he had disappointed them,
for he went to the Ship and Last, a public house at
the back of the Tigers Head, with a man named
Jesse)', and they had some egg-hot together. Hussey
_then left his house, and went towards Peckham,
saying; he was going; to his brother's; he did not see
. Hussey after that for four or five days. He 'called,
and during conversation, he said, that he had no
situation, and that he had slept as usual at the Tiger's
Head. He then went to his box, and having cleaned
his shoes, he left. the house. Hussey did not call
upon him for more than a fortnight after that, his,
witness's. wife let him in, and he brought a very large
bundle into thehouse, and took it to the room where
his box was; he remained there about five minutes,
and then left the ho-u,,e. Jah:oat three weeks ago he
came to his house, and corded the box ; and asked
Mrs. Lutton if she knew any one who could carry
the box to his wife's ant, at Deptford, Mrs. God-
dard, of Hughe's-tields; Mrs. Lutton called him, and
asked him, the witness, if he would carry it? he said
yes ; he carried it, and lla sey paid hires one shilling,
for it. About a fortnight bttfo:e the murder VAS
committed he was using a cot-;per's hammer in his
kitchen, and missed it about three o'clock in the af-
ternoon, and never could rind it afterwards. It was
a hammer of that description which might have been
• used by Hussey to commit the murders. It was
sharp for the purpose of riveting at one end, and a
hammer' face for driving nails at the other. He in-
formed the officers when they were searching his pre-
mises of having lost a hammer. He believed Hus-
sey was at, his house on the afternoon when he lost
his hammer. _

_
Magistrate—Did you ever see.Hazelton and Hus-
sey together ?
Witness—They had called at his house frequently,
being servants out of place. Hazelton used to sit in
his apartment while Hussey was cleaning himself
and changing his linen. lie believed they were nearly
always together.
Mr. Twamlaw, the landlord of the Tiger's Head,
was interrogated by the Magistrates, Colonel Foltz-
MAN, and Mr. Ssterri.—lie stated that Hussey had
lodged at his house occasionally for nine weeks. On
the Saturday night the murders were committed,
Hussey was at his house, in the lodge-room of Odd
Fellows, he being one of the order. He did not
know what time Hussey went into the lodge-room,
but he was there at ten o'clock at night, \viten the
lodge closed. He believed that Hussey did not go
out of the house after that time ; he could not be cer-
tain ; he was positive that he slept at his house that
night. He got up neat morning (Sunday) and had
his breakfast at his hous:: he did not pay for it then,
he owed a trifle at that time, and shortly after paid
all together that he owed. There might be some-
thing different in Hussey's behaviour after the mur-
ders, but he never noticed it, as he was, above all
others, the last man he should have suspected, from
his general mildness and simplicity of manners.
William Sparks, bricklayer (the person who was
ex.:mined on suspicion of being concerned, sonic,
weeks ago), was again examined as to his knowledge,
of the connection between the prisoner, Hazelton,,
and Hussey, but no evidence of any importance was
elicited from him.

The M:v_-istrates ordered the constables to bring
forward, to be examined on a future day, the washer-
woman with whom Hussey dined Cu the Sunday.—
The vessels in the River have been minutely searchzd,
but no person answering Hussey's deseiiptioa
From no information having been received from Ad-
kins, who set off last Sunday morning into Dorset-
shire, it is conjectured that he has received some clue
to his retreat, and has proceeded further in quest of
Lim. On Tuesday week he was seen in 14 :-.,!0a by
many persons, and some think it probable that lie has
concealed himself in town. From ilussey being such
a remark4le person, it is not likely he can long se-
creie himself : he has an impediment in his speech,
is very fair, and pale faced. He does not look to be
more than '24 years of age, and is most remarkable
fvi having an extraordinary large hand and foot.—
His shoes (a pair of which he left at Mrs. Lutton's),
measure between 13 and 14 inches from heel to toe.
N 9 other examination will take place until Hussey is
in custody.

The will orthe late Mr. lhau was proved yesterday. The
?mount of personal property was sworn under 8,006 f. the bulk of
ss hick is settled on hls son, and hi's son's children :' there is no le-
y to the unfortunate person who lived with him as houeekeeper.
