face, and witness conjectured that the same must have
occurred in the large boiler. The oil thus thrown out
ran into the lire-place, and required to be extinguish-
ed by water. The ebullition continued ,for ten mi-
nutes after the fire had been withdrawn. The ther-
mometer when the boiling over took place was at 460:1
but the danger of approachiug the boiler prevented
them Prow observing the temperature for the ten mi-
nutes during which the brilliant continued. Sons*
of this oil witness caused to be carried to his own
house, and found that it boiled at 4241. Fresh oil
would nut bare boiled under 600 degrees. 'lshii oil
at 490 was in a state of brilliant combustion, it boil-
ed tepidly, and ran over as it had done before. On
May the 30th another experiment was made at the
same pl ice. The oil used on this occasion had bees
heated 23 days. The boiler used he believed to be the
same as before. The oil at 310 was increased,
and at 400 itsda bk vapour ascended from the
tube. At 435 there ass abundance df vapors,.
The beat went on increasing', and in twenty-nine
minutes it bad risen from 367 to 500, and the
burst of vapour produced a flame two feet long ; at
seven degrees higher the vapour, tired by a light, ap-
Pe • •ared six inches above the end of the tube. At 570
a small tub was placed over the pipe, and the vapour
withise the tub took fire on the appliration of a taper.
In thirty-five minutes the licit hail risen to 543, Ind
the vapour collected in a barrel took fire. .14 565
the barrel was filled with vapour in the spare of 15
seconds ; this was dune repeatedly ; the barrel at
length took flre ; before t..e barrel was used it hail
stool in the yard, and was perfectly wet : some of
the oil used on this occasion, witness afterwards took
h 'me; this gave out volatile oil at 364, having been
taken out before the acression of heat. Another et-
periment was snail's- on July 4, in Whiterross-street.
Tile oil on this occasion had been heated 23 slays ;
the quantity of oil used was 25 gallons ; witness had
examiiii d the oil, and was satisfied that it contained
no sit phallic acid ; in this experiment the volatile
vapour was first perceived at 496 ; at 530 a tin pot
used as a steam I.yne, rapidly collected the vapour ; at
PIO there was a constant flame hurtling like gas; at
680 the oil boiled ; the thine then rase to fiur or
live feet in height ; fifty minutes and a half after
the lire was heated, •it arose to 486, and in
52 minutes and a half it yielded a constant name
some • f this oil when used by witness at home,
! yielded volatile vapour under 3611. A Barth experi-
: went was made at *wl'lsitecrisss-street, in a new boiler,
29 inches in length, 13,i in breadth, and 134 in depth.
Fifteen gallons whic.b had been heated fur twenty-livW
slays, were used when they commenced experiments,
the oil was roll,: a lire eras lighted, and in the course
of fourteen minutes, when the temperature iris under
210, wi:news applied a light to the tube, and it took
dame ; almost at the same time an explosion took
place, and the flame ceased. At 230 the vapour be-
Icame eontionsuus. Until 360 it continued combustible.
s but diminished in effect. At 420 the flame because
I constant for two minutes, this was 29 minutes after
the fire bad been lighted. The vent pipe was length-
ened to about throe feet four inches in length, and a
box suspended over it. 'llse box had a pipe three
incises in diameter fastened at the top, and it reached
ispwaids of eight feet. The temperature being 450,
I
the vapour nut abundant, it descended into the
box instead of ascending the upper pipe. At 570 the
vapour accumulated in such quantities as to burn the
box when a light was applied. At 590 the vapour
was so abundant as to inflame at the extremity of the
pipe above the steam hyng. At GOO the steam byng
was full of dame, anti the oil boiled over. From the
Itime of lighting the fire, to the explosion, was 14 ml-
notes; tee the time when the flame became permanent,
at 420, it was 19 minutes ; andlo the time of boiling
over,:; minutes. Witness has since tried two expe-
riments. On July 6, into a boiler 36 inches wide,
19 broad, and 14i sleep, thirty gallons of oil were
poured t the oil hail been heated thirty-eight days.
At 430 the vapour was inflammable; at 494 the flame
I lasted some moments: and at 575, it was boiling.
In this experiment the thermometer varied sometimes
25 degrees. The last experiment was at Brom-
: ley, and produced nearly the same results. In this
experiment witness observed, that thuitgli at 160 the
vapour would scarcely burn ; yet when the water
was comoleessed front the vapour the flame became per-
' manent. At this period the tipper thermometer teas
only 435 ; at length the vapour became so intim-
, mable that when once lightei, they bad much JA-
I culty in extinguishing it. Witness could never get
indauuuable vapour from it while sugar was 430 de-
grecs. From e parse moist sugar be owe got it at
370. Witness feels satisfied from these cxperim'nts
that the use of -nil in producing, heat is more dan-
Igeruus than the old system. From the safe to the
boiling temperature, oil frequtently rose in the space of
twenty minutes. Being desired to direct observations
to time model before bins, witness said, that had the
Are taken place from the combustion of inflammable
vapour, he thought, that the flume would issue out
in the wanner already described; the flame would
probably be red, but that wcittki depend on the mixture
of atmospheric air.
Cross-examined.—He took no pains to detect any
ingredient in the oil used, except sulphuric acid ; he
never made an esperiment on anr apparatus construct-
ed in a similar manner to the model before him ; he
was not permitted to attend Sir. Park's experiment t
be would hare been surprised if in au apparatus simi-
lar to the one helm-. Idly he could not preserve vola-
tile oil Irons oil previowdy heated to 300 degrees for

ilmtinos.n-cu-STnacr.—The rescue gang onetiv-
went a third examination before Messrs.lo•Ax-r
r, and as the evidence adduced upon former
proceedings is already before the public, u e coutiot
ourselves to the additional evidence.

The irons were taken off all the prisoners but Wein,
whose hardened conduct in prison rendered it neces-
sary to keep them on, and the prisoner Stanley was
not brought up. The woman who was in conversa-
tion with the barglar J.snes in (treat RusseU-street
immediately before the rescue, will, in addition to
oilier testimony not yet disclosed, give important nib'
deuce. Her examination has been taken iu private.

head tied up, and be is lunch altered. Ile %conkl nd
take upon himself to swear to any of the prisoners:ea,
he was knocked down instantaneously, and hail so
opportunity of observation.
Junes, who has been identified as one of the res-
cum, appealed to Kilsby, the keeper of a coffee-shoe
in Great Suffolk-street, St.George's-fiellie, to prove h •
innocence by alibi ; but as •Kilaby did not attend epee
the last examination, a warrant compelled hit *need-
,ance upon this occasion, and instead of proving as
etli/n, he confirmed the testimony of another witne,4,
who swore to Jones. Kilsby proved, that Jones, the
rescuer, introduced Jones, the burglar (con:idea at
the present Old Bailey Sessions) to him on the ever-,
ing of the rescue, and that they slept at his bons.
They made no secret of the rescue, bat on the cot.
teary, Jones displayed the bludgeon which, as lie said,
had done the trick, and boasted of that which he
termed the exploit.
The two Harris's pleaded innocence, and appeshil
to the Magistrates how bard it was that they
he kept in confinement Laltbough they bad been very
often charged with felony, they had always been in-
nocent, and such usage was not right.
The offence is no more than a misdemeanour, fie
which bail cannot be refused; and Mr. Tavkr, a w-
lieitor, tendered bail for Woodgate, hot the Magic
Crates required 4$ hour, notice, in sureties of wand
two of -la Bail was tendered for others, and the
whole were remanded till next Friday.
