Bull's Head, had two glasses there, and went home. When
he arrived at home it wanted two minutes to twelve o'clock.
He said he did not go out again that night. 1 searched his
house, and found this book in the drawers in the house. I
asked him where the trowsers were that he had worn the
evening before: He said they were up stairs in his bedroom.
I found them. There was black mud on them up to the
knees. The knees were split, and there was a pin in one of
the knees. It was such mud as there was in the footpath.
By ,Mr. WILKINS.—The mud in Warrington is principally
black. I cut that pattern on the path, The path was
muddy. I know a man named Boscow. He did not tell me
that the footmark on the bank was his. I have not seen Bos-
coW since. I have not good reason to believe that that is
the mark of Boscow's shoe. After I had heard that Boscow
had been clearing grass out of the ditch, I went and I found
two marks of feet. I told Mr. Stubbs, one of the magistrates,
that I had some doubts about Clough's evidence. At two
o'clock that morning there was a violent hail storm, which
lasted about twenty minutes. Frost came on after the hail,
but the hail had all melted, seeming as if there had been a
thaw. 1 have generally seen Clough in his sweep's dress,—
when clean he generally wears a blue round jacket. The
hedge opposite the body was not 'more than half a yard high.
There was a bottle in the basket wial a colourless liquid in
it, which smelled like gin.
Rose Johnson sworn.—l live at Warrington. On the 14th
November I was sent for to the Ring a Bells. I found the'
deceased there ; her dress was deranged. The sleeves of her
dress were torn out under the arms. She had a-bonnet on
which was terribly crushed. The crown was torn out ex-
cept a little bit. It was tied under the chin. She had a cap
on which was hooked under the chin. The cap, bonnet, and
hair were dry, but the clothes were not. One of her stock-
ings was down. I observed all over her body soil and wet.
She had a little mud about her nose and chin. I helped to
wash her body. 1 did not observe any dirt in her mouth or
nose. There was mud about-her nose and mouth. She
seemed as if she had been pulled by a man. [Some of the
