Chasles S•br lives at Little Stnkely; has known the
prisoner five years. Prisoner goes upright, but rather
lobs a line is his walk. On the morning of the murder
witness saw a person walk towards the gate of Mr.
Waterhouse; he wore a short slop or a jacket of a light
colour. When the person arrived at the gate, he fum-
bled a little at the top of the wall. as if to find a key,
which Mr. Waterhouse used to leave in the wall for
the convenience of his people. The person then got
over the wall which joins the gate and the garden, and
witness lost sight of him very soon; the great dog
barked once, and only once. Observed the pit of the
persin; he lobbed a little ii his walk; he was as nigh as
possible five feet six or seven inches high, and a young
man. Won't swear the man was Joshua Slade, but he
was as much like him as any one witness ever saw in
his life.

Ann Elby—Was walking from the Horse Shoes at
Great Stukeley to Littic Stukeley on the morning of the
murder. Saw a man come from the direction of Mr.
Waterhouse's house, and enter the tunnel. When wit-
ness saw him he was walking fast. Saw him enter the
tunnel. He wore a :bolt slop or jacket. Kept looking
towards the tunnel all the way to Little Stukeley, but
he did not come out of the tunnel. Knew the psi.
Boner, but can't say it was he. There is a deep dike at
the other side, into which the person might have entered
without being seen from the road. The dike was cowered
with bushes.

John Crane—Knows Joshua Slade. Upon one occa-
sion witness and prisoner were speaking together of a
robbery which had been committed upon Mr. Water-
house, and Slade said that he (Slade) could open every
lock upon Mr. Waterhouse's premises.
John Richardson is a constable, and had Slade in his
custody. Slade told witness that he had been playing
at bowls, and left the house at one o'clock in the morn-
ing. He said that he went from the Swan at one in
the morning, and proceeded to Godmanchester to invite
his sister to a fast; he said that he had slept in a hay-
field on the way side, and arrived at Godmanchester at
half-past seven in the morning, aid breakfasted with
his brother and sister, and left Godmanchester at half-
past ten, before which he had some beer at the Rose
and Crown at Godmanchester; that be then Mlle IQ
the Horse and Jockey at Huntingdon; after }alio be
proceeded to Little Stukeley, where be arrived at seven
o'clock in the evening. Such was the account which
Slade gave of himself. Witness then deposed, that he
went with the prisoner to the Horse and Jockey, and
asked the landlady if the prisoner had been there upon
the day stated ? Witness asked for all the persons who
bad been in the habit of drawing beer there, and pri-
soner pointed to a girl, and said, it was she that had
drawn the beer for him on Tuesday. She utterly de-
nieclit, and said, he had not been there at all on Tues.
day. The landlady came down and said, addressing
herself to the prisoner, 4. Oh I it's you, is it ? I know
you very well by your pug nose. 'Yon have not been
here since you were with Hawke:, drinking wine."—
Witness then went to the Rose and Crown, at God.
manchester, taking with him the prisoner, who said
that it was the landlady who had drawn the beer
for him
.there. The landlady asked him where be
sat ? he replied near the clock. The landlady upon
this disclaimed having seen him on the day in ques-
tion. Witness then went with prisoner to the Swan in
Godmanchester, and asked the landlady if she had
seen him on the Tuesday? she said be had not
been there at all. The Swan is next door to the house
of prisoner's sister. Was in company on Monday, the
9th of July. with prisonq and a person named Cole.
Witness said to prisoner, Slade, you bad a knife; what
have you done with it?" (He, Slade, had previously
said that he had given the knife and his watch to his
mother, and witness went next day to the mother's
house, but did not find the knife.) Slade then put his
hand into his pocket, and gave the knife to witness.
Upon searching the mother's house for the knife, in the
first instance, witness found a bill-hook in a cupboard,
which is only accessible from the inside of the house.
Gave the bill hook to Mr. Sweeting. On the Sth of
July took two shoes off the het of Slade in the prison.
Gave the shoes to a person named Butler, having marked
them previously.
Cress-examined—Does not know that the prisoner resided in his
stotber's house. _

William Butler—Received the shoes from the last
witness, and compared them with the foot marks near
the • indow, which is not blocked up, in the Rower gar-
den. SAW a shoe print near the window, with which
witness compared one of the shoes. The shoe bad some
nails; on the left side two rows, but none on the tight.
Tie shoe answered the foot mark as near as possible;
saw traces of a human foot across the garden, and back'
of the hay-stack, in a direct line to the tunnel. There
was a stile on the path, over which somebody bad lately
passed, and leaving the beaten path on the left side of
a large hedge, went to the right. A person would be
visible from the premises of Mr. Waterhouse in going
by the usual path, but not in going by the way in which
the person went.
William Woods is a constable at Stukeley ; received
from the last witness two shoes, which were given to
him as Slade's. (Here the witness described the shoei.)
Took the shoes to the window that was open, and put
one of the shoes into a mark which appeared under the
window: thought the fout.print corresponded with the
shoe. Went then to the stile, with William Francis (a
former witness) who took the shoe s'
out
of witness
hand, and compared them with the marks; they seemed
to fit well; the nails went exactly into the nail marks.
Ccose.examined—Ft Is common for one person to make shoes for
a whole neighbourhood, and all upon the same pattern.

Thomas Sykes lived in the house of Wrn. Slade, the
prisoner's lather. Has seen a bill in the house. Witness
used the bill in March last, at the bean sowing. After
the bean-sowing, pnt the bill into the cupboard. Before
putting it up, he scoured it with a piece of whet.tone
to keep it from rust. Has not used it from that time
till now. It was clean when the witness put it up.
Should know the bill again, if he saw it. Recollects
the night before the mureer. Can't say if the prisoner
slept at home that night.
Ceoes-enattahted—Other pawns may have mere into the house,
and taken the bill, without the komekdge of witness.
Mr. John Coie is the Glamor of the county gaol of
Huntingdon. When the prisoner was given into his
custody, witness told him he must give up his knife,
and prisoner then took the knife out of his pocket and
gate it to witness. Produces the knife, which is in tbe
same seat" as when witness received it.
Mr. Wilson, the surgeon, was then re-examined, and
the knife was put into his hands. He said, there is al
