At half-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon Richard Gamble and Mary Good, who has recently been known to the public as " Old Molly Good," were placed before Mr. Hall, charged with having in their possession certain articles the property of Jane Jones, who was murdered at Putney Park-lane.

He had seen the priomer Gamble go on several occasions to the house of Mrs. Choi, and remain there some time. He had also seen him leave the louse of the woman Good, accompanied by her, and return again with her. On one occasion he saw Gamble come out of sirs. Good's bowie with a bundle, which he took to his own place. On Saturday he went to Gamble's lodgings with Inspector t'earce, and in the front room second floor, he found the three otton gowns produced, hid under the bed. He searched the odgings of the prisoner Good yesterday afternoon, and found i piece of blue silk wrapped up in a pillow-case, as also a black cloth bag, containing a purse, with 3s. 10d. in it, two black mitts, three napkins, a towel, two dinner knives and forks, arid a small knife, a piece of black glazed calico, and two pairs of stockings. Inspector Pearce, of the A division, deposed that he had also watched the prisoners, especially the male prisoner. He had followed him to Tooley-street—trom thence to the residence of Mary Good, where he stayed half an hour. On Saturday evening he met the prisoner in Gray's Inn-lane. He asked him " If he h. .d reeeived a parcel from Good ?" and he said "He had not." He left him in the care of a constable whilst he went to his lodging, and upon searching he found 'wo shirts (produced, one marked S. Perry). Prisoner said they had been given him by a woman named Mary Good. Ile also said he had a bundle as well from the same person. Mary Anne Clarke. of No. 18, South-street, Manchester. square, identified the piece of blue silk produced as belonging to Jane Jones, and part of the piece which she had made the bon_  oet from. She also said that the gowns produced were of the .a me pattern and make as some she had seen Jane Jones wear. Edward Pritchett, of ,\o. :3, Edward's•place, Hoxton, said he knew the two prisoners. and was employed to watch them; he saw them on Thursday last at the George and Guy, Fashion,trect, Spitalfields. He heard the female prisoner say to the male prisoner, The last night I saw poor Dan he said lam afraid I shall be taken," but ho said, " I shall keep out of the way as long as I can." Gamble said, " Hold your tongue, leave it tome, he'll never be taken." _ _  Mary Anne Grayson, of No. 4, Flower and Dean-street, said the female prisoner, Good, lodged with her. Gamble had been there three times. A man, whom Good represented as her husband, came at seven o'clock on the morning of Thursday week. She didn't see him with any bundle. Mr. H. LL, the Magistrate, here observed that. he did not see that a case of robbery could be made out against the primers. If they were at all implicated, it was far being accessories after the fact of the murder. He should, therefore, commit them both till Thursday next, when they would be brought up with the prisoner, Daniel Good.—The prisoners were then removed in custody.
