Otherwise called Burdcl, was continued yesterday
tbs second day-in the Court of Oyer and Terminer.

possible, the publication Of such repetit,ons con-
fning the report a. much a. possible to what is
either new or of some importance in the case. The
witnesses examined yesterday were DR.. Francis
Hannah Conlan, the cook; Mr.. Stansbury, the lady
to whom Dr.. Burden was about to rent his house;
