HALL MURDERS.  TRIAL OF RUSH.  (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER)  NORWICH, SATURDAY. (Emily Sandford's evidence, continued from our Third Edition of Saturday.) Examination continued—When the conversation took place with respect to the:poachers, and the anecdote of Bruce and the spider was related, she said she feared there was something more than poachers that took him out; to which he said he should like her better if she did not make any remarks of the kind, telling her " not to ask him any question then." Rush—Now I will ask you who told you I intended to send you to France? Witness (crying)—My Lord, am I obliged to answer that question? he wishes me to expose matters in connexion with my family. Rush disclaimed any intention of the kind; ho merely wished an explicit reply to the question. Witness—One of my brothers told me you had said so: you did say so.  Al the request of Rush Mrs. Bryant (who bad sat by the side of the witness) was directed to leave the court. Cross-examination resumed—Mrs. Bryant had told her to keep her spirits up; that was all she had said to her. Mrs. Bryant was called back.  Cross-examination resumed—lnvariably made copies of all letters sent out by the prisoner to different parties. Had seen letters to the prisoner from Mr. Jenny; but this was sometime before the murder. Ho told her that the letters were Mr. Jermy's ; she only knew his writing from what he bad told her. Knew he received some time ago a copy of an old will in a soiled envelope, on which a number of postage stamps were pasted, from the Rev. Mr. Preston, Mr. Jermy's father. Believed she made a copy of a letter which the prisoner had directed to Mr. Jermy on the subject of the will.  Rush said he had given the prosecution notice to produce the document—it was a lithographed letter. Cross-examination continued—Knew he had in possession a vast quantity of old documents relating to property—they were usually spread on a table in the "living-room." Having been asked if she had particularly noticed any of the papers, she said she had noticed one mysterious letter written by James Rush, the prisoner's son, to his sister, in which her name (witness's) was mentioned.  Mr. Baron ROLFE thought the purport of the letter immaterial. No further question was, therefore, asked with respect to it.  Cross-examination continued—Had seen a small parchment book; but did not recollect his taking some of the leaves out of it to make a parcel. On the day following the murder (Wednesday) Mr.•Winterworth came and took possession of the papers after the prisoner had been taken into custody. She was not told that she would be kept in custody until she had given her evidence. She went with him in a gig, Savory sitting behind. Rush—Was anything said to you when you were going to the hall?
