THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.  RE-EXAMINATION OF MR. AND MRS.  MANNING.  (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. William Flynn, an officer in the Customs, said the deceased was a relative of his, and that he had known him for nine years. He was a second cousin. He was shown a body at 3, Minver-place, on the 17th of August, upon which an inquisition was holding at the time, and it was  that of Patrick O'Connor. He bad not the slightest doubt about it being the body of that person The witness stated, when he called at Minter-place to ask for O'Connor, Mrs. Manning looked pale and rather flurried.  Cross-examined by Mr. Binns—l knew that the deceased had false teeth, because I have seen him without them at his lodgings, at his office, and at my own house. I saw him last two months before his death. I observed by accident that he had fah& teeth. He did not tell me that he had them. I made no observation to him upon making the discovery. Anne Armes, Mr. O'Connor's landlady, was the next witness, and went over the heads of her former evidence. On being asked if she knew Manning, she said she did not recollect him. She knew Mrs. Manning perfectly. She used to visit Mr. O'Connor frequently alone ; sometimes Manning came with her. Her sister usually opened the door. She was on friendly terms, and so was the person that came with her, whom she understood to be her husband. She deposed to Mrs. Manning coming to the deceased's lodgings and taking away the property deposed to have been stolen. Mr. Binns said there was no evidence to show that the male prisoner had ever called at the lodgings of the deceased. The identity was not made out. Mr. Bodkin said he could prove it by the sister of the last witness. Emily Armes was then sworn—She said she lived with her sister. She said she generally admitted the female prisoner. Did Mr. Manning ever come with her ?—He did. Look round the court, and see if you can point him out. The witness (pointing to Manning)— That is Mr. Manning. Mrs. Armes was here re-called—She remembered Mrs. Manning and the person who passed as her husband dining with Mr. O'Connor, and she was in the habit of waiting at the table. About twelve months back sbe heard a conversation between them about borrowing money, and she also heard a conversation on money matters. Mr. Binns and Mr. Solomons asked some questions, but the only thing at all material was that Mr. O'Connor had told her not to let Mrs. Manning in any more. Had seen Mrs. Manning and Mr. O'Connor in the bed-room together. Did not know anything about whether they were intimate or not. On her oath she did not believe that they were on terms of the closest intimacy. Emily Armes was recalled—Recollected Mrs. Manning being at her sister's on the Friday before Mr. O'Connor's death. The cash box was on the table. Mrs. Manning said she should like to buy soma railway shares. He said " You had better buy so and so." She could not recollect the name of the line. Recollected Mrs. Manning coming in on the Thursday at the private door. She came again on the Friday. The time was a quarter to six. She noticed  the clock, because she had to send the boy out ai  that time. She asked if Mr. O'Connor was in. She said he was not. She went out through the shop at a quarter past seven, having bought some cakes. She looked pale and agitated.  By Mr. Solomons—llad known the female prisoner about a year and a half, during which time she came frequently to Mr. O'Connor's lodgings. Mr!, O'Connor was showing her some railway shares whilst they were talking on the day she mentioned  She was not bound to go through the shop, she might have gone out by the private door if she had thought proper. Mrs. Manning and Mr. O'Connor were on friendly terms. She has often taken tea with hint alone.  Re-examined—Mrs. Manning told Mr. O'Connor that she wished to be instructed how to purchase some rail way shares. By the
