RAWIANSON—Did he answer nothing when taken into custody ? Witness—He said he knew Delarue. 1 asked him to show his apartments, and he said, "Follow me ;" and I then searched his apartments. His brother was in bed in the room to which he took me, on the second floor, and the prisoner told him to get out of bed and dress himself. During the time I was searching, his brother said, " Tom, tell the policeman all you know about it." The prisoner then went to the bed-side, took the watch from under the pillow, and said, " That was Delarue's ; he gave it to me last Friday morning, about ten o'clock, to sell it for him." We then came down stairs, and I got some duplicates referring to other property, which the prisoner said belonged to Delarue. (The property consisted of duplicates for rings,watch-guard, &c.) After going to where I had left Inspector Partridge, and telling him what had occurred, we returned to the prisoner's lodgings to renew the search. He said he had only some letters from different females, but he did not couple the deceased's name with them. The prisoner was then taken to the Hampstead station.  Inspector Partridge produced a bundle of letters. The last witness gave him the information alluded to. He went to the prisoner's father's house, at 17, Charles-street, where he expected some important information, but in that he failed, and fearing that some alarm might be given to the prisoner, he (the inspector) sent Scoltney alone to his lodgings. When he saw the prisoner, he informed him of the charge against him. Went up into the prisoner's room, and found some old clothes and sacking under the bed, and also above it. In a table drawer found papers and other documents. There were 76 of them, apparently written by a young lady, and all in the same handwriting. On the mantel-shelf found half-a-sovereign and a shilling. He said he had more money, and supposed he dropped a sovereign on the bed. He was then taken to the station-house. He should be able to prove that he had mad• several purchases of clothing on Saturday. Inspector Shackell, of the detective force, received information of the murder on Saturday, and on the Sunday after examined the place where the murder was committed. Proceeded to deceased's lodgings, and found a number of obscene prints, and, among bills of account, found one from a watchmaker for the very watch produced in Court that day. This watch was seen in the deceased's possession on Friday, at two o'clock.  Mr. RAwLiNsoN—Who proves that /—The girl, Sir. Sarah Kitchener was re-called—She saw his watch on Friday at dinner time. Did not know the watch, but the chain resembled the one he wore. Mr. Delarue got up at a little after nine on Friday morning, and he remained at home for about half an hour. Be breakfasted almost as soon as he got up. The brother of the deceased said the watch was the one he wore till the Sunday previous, but the guard was not the same. ,Deceased's was a solid gold one, and that was only coloured".  Mr. RAWLINSON asked the prisoner if he wished to say anything:' The prisoner said at he could bring witnesses to prove that he did not leave his home till a quarter or ten minutes to eight on Friday night. That was all he wished to say that day. Mr.
