was a mere repetition of that given before t
inquest. Good's son was in the room adjoining the court;
his youthful appearance created a general sympathy. At the
close of the inquiry Good requested to be sent back to Clerk-
enwell Prison ; but Mr. Hall said, he felt bound to commit
him to take his trial. It was his duty, therefore, to send
him at once to Newgate. Richard Gamble And Mary Good
were then placed at the bar. Mr. Hall said, at that late
hour it would be impossible to go on with the case against
them, therefore he should again remand them till to-morrow
(Friday), when the evidence would be gone into. The three
prisoners were immediately conducted to the police van,
which was waiting for them, Daniel Good to be conveyed to
Newgate, and the others to Clerkenwell Prison. The mo-
ment Good was seen by the immense concourse of persons
who had assembled, he was saluted by a volley of hideous
yells and groans. Hundreds of persons followed the van as
it drove away, and continued shouting as loud as they pos-
sibly could.

MURDER,

BOW-STREET POLICE-COURT-YESTERDAY

RE-EXAMINATION OF MOLLY GOOD AND RICHARD
GAMBLE, CHARGED_ AS BEING ACCESSORIES AFTER

THE FACT TO THE MURDER OF
. . _

Yesterday morning having been appointed for the re-
examination of Molly Good and Richard Gamble on the
above charge, the neighbourhood of Bow-street was much
crowded. When the prisoners were brought to the court,
the most discordant yells and execrations broke forth, and
which did not subside until the prisoners had been placed in
their cells.

Mr. Maule said it was his duty shortly to state the case
against the prisoners at the bar. They were charged with
being connected (after the fact) with the circumstances at-
tending the charge of murder, on which Daniel Good had
been committed to Newgate—that they were accessories after
the fact—that knowing the offence with which Good was
charged, they received and harboured the offender, and as-
sisted in his escape for a short time. Perhaps, however, if
the evidence only went so far as to prove that they received
the stolen goods of the murdered woman knowing them to
be stolen, that would be sufficient in law to constitute them
accessories after the fact. Mr. Maule then referred to
the opinions laid down by Mr. Justice Blackstone, and
continued—it would be necessary here to show that Daniel
Good was the offender, and then to prove the connection of
that person with the prisoners. He should prove that he
fled from Roehampton on the 6th of April, after the muti-
lated body was found, that he proceeded to the lodgings of
the deceased, and took away property belonging to her, that
he then went to the house of the prisoner Mary Good ; that
they were seen together there disposing of the property of
the deteased, and he finally left her on the 9th of April.
With respect to Gamble, he should prove that he was seen
at the house of the female prisoner under circumstances the
most suspicious ; that he went at late hours of the night
without a bundle, and returned afterwards with bundles,
At the house of both prisoners property belonging to the de-
ceased bad been found. He should also produce evidence as
to conversations which bad been beard between the prison-
ers, which he thought would clearly prove that they were
cognisant of the offence which Good was charged with having
committed, and they had secreted him, and assisted him in
effecting his temporary escape. At all events of this he (Mr.
Maule) was confident, that be should be able to establish
such a strong case of suspicion, that it would be the magis-
trate's duty to commit them for trial before that tribunal
which could alone finally decide their guilt or innocence.
Evidence was then produced toestablish the truth of these
statements.

Mr. Pelham said, he wished to know how the Court in-
tended to deal with this case. He understood that this wo-
man was the real wife of Good, and if so, then she could not
be charged with harbouring him. He beiieved if he had time
he could show that they were married in Ireland, as abundant
witnesses, he understood, might be called to prove it. So if
Mary Good was Good's wife, she could not be committed as
a receiver of stolen property, in consequence of having re-
ceived it from her husband. These were the two difficulties
he felt press upon him in this case.
Mr. Hall asked the male prisoner if he had anything to
say, and cautioned him against saying anything, as it would
be taken down and used against him at his trial.

The prisoner Gamble then remarked—" I have nothing to
say."
Mr. Hall asked Mr. Maule what course he wished him to
pursue ?„ _

Mr. Maule pointed out the conversations that had been
spoken to as having taken place between Gamble and the
female prisoner at the George and Guy, and between Mary
Good and the female at her own house, and with the potboy
at the Spotted Dog, which, he contended, showed that the
prisoners were aware of the commission of this offence. He
might rest his case upon the prisoners' own declarations ; but
what was the fact? The prisoners were proved to have been
at hide and seek—they both had property that belonged to
the deceased, which they concealed, and denied they had
possession of when questioned by the police. Now if he was
right in the inferences he drew, he thought there was abun-
dant evidence to put them on their trial as accessories after
the fact. On the other hand, if the magistrate thought the
evidence was not sufficiently strong to convict them upon
that charge, then he begged to direct the attention of the
Court to the fact of Good having feloniously possessed him-
self of Jane Jones's property after the murder, and that pro-
perty having been found in the prisoners' possession, was
enough to establish a prima facie case to put them on their
trial as receivers of stolen goods ; and it would then be for
them to give a satisfactory account of how they became pos-
sessed of them.

Mr. Hall said he had not beard the smallest evidence that
either Jane Jones, the deceased, or the female prisoner,
Mary Good, was the wife of Daniel Good, and therefore he
was not bound to deal with the prisoner in that character.
Then, with respect to the man Gamble, there was this strong
fact, that some gowns belonging to the deceased were found
under his bed, and one of them was traced to have been in
her possession the day before she disappeared. There were
also two shirts, which it had been clearly proved had been
entrusted to the deceased to wash. It therefore appeared to
be much more clear to his mind that he should commit him
as a receiver of stolen goods, and the solicitor for the prose-
cution might prefer any other indictment he thought proper.
With respect to Mary Good, the evidence against her was
much stronger as an accessory after the fact, because con-
versations of an important character bad been overheard to
have taken place between her and other parties. She had been
traced to various places sleeping with Good, and the workboxes
belonging to the deceased had been sworn to by the little
boy as having been in the possession of the deceased, even
so late as Monday, the 4th inst., the day after the woman
was missed. This, to his mind, clearly established a case of
receiving stolen property against her, and therefore be should
prefer committing her on that charge, although the evidence
was of a very strong character against her as an accessory
after the murder. However, Mr. Maule might prefer an
indictment against her for that offence as well as for the
one upon which she was committed, if he so pleased. They
are, concluded the worthy magistrate, therefore both com-
mitted for trial as receivers of stolen property.
The voluminous depositions having been read over, the
prisoners were removed in the van to Newgate, amidst the
oud execrations of a dense mob.

The examination did not conclude till half-past five
o'clock.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—THIs DAY

(From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.)

Although several English, Irish, and Foreign vessels have
arrived here since Friday, the supplies of Grain fresh in for
this day's market are collectively but moderate, and of Flour
and Oatmeal very inconsiderable.
The New Corn Bill, having passed through the Lords, is
expected to take immediate effect, which, combined with the
depression in Mark Lane yesterday, and the continuance of
fine, though dry weather, serve to increase the languor pre-
viously noted; we have accordingly to report an exceedingly
dull trade this morning, for English, Irish, and all Foreign,
duty paid, Wheats, and a further abatement generally,
thereby reducing our quotations 2d. to 3d. per 701bs below
the rates of Tuesday last. -Home-made and Irish Flour
hardly sustained late prices, and States, as also Canadian,
declined 6d. per barrel, with a plow limited sale for all de-
scriptions.

Ih bonded grain no transactions have been reported since
Friday ; and except a few hundred barrels for export, few or

none in Flour.

Barley and Malt, attended with occasional sales, retained
their former value. Beans and Pease remained stationary.

The Oat trade having been extremely heavy, was decidedly
rather lower ; and Oatmeal, being taking off sparingly, re-
ceded 6d. per 2401b5.
