BENNETT—I heard Ryan (Puck) and Kelly say that in presence of my uncle. John Crowe (a boy aged about twelve years)—l know the prisoner at the bar ; he is my uncle ; I am brother of James Crowe ; the night Mr. Watson was murdered, William Ryan (Puck), Wilkinson, and a boy named Michael Cruise, slept at my uncle's house ; Kelly, my uncle's servant, did not sleep in my uncle's house that night. My uncle came home in the morning, and was home before breakfast ; we were then all up ; the children were all there, and Ryan (Puck), Wilkinson, and the strange man ; my uncle and he came to the house mostly together. the strange man took five bullets off the dresser; after that my uncle, the two boys (Ryan " Puck" and the other boy), James Kelly and Wilkinson, went out to the cowhouse; they were there about half an hour. They all came into the house again but Wilkinson ; when they came hack I beard Ryan (Puck) ray that there were " good charges in them ;" I can't say who was then present, but I was there when this was  said. and my uncle and Kelly, and the strange boy. I went with Michael Cruise for the horses to go and plough, when I brought them back, in half an hour, none of them were in the house; my uncle and all of them were gone. When I was coming back I saw Ity an (Puck) and Kelly, and the strange boy going down the field together, towards the high road. My uncle was at Ballyquin that day, at Mr. Arthur's. Cross-examined—My uncle turned me out about th3cee months after this.  Andrew Quilinan—l know Ryan (Small). I remember lending him ls. 6d. I saw him at Killaloe four or five days before the murder. We went into Crowe's house, and he called for some spirits, and when it was nearly drank the prisoner came up. He asked who I was, and said to Ryan he wanted to have some words withhim. I then left the place. Before I left I asked him for the ls. 6d.; he did not pay it, but said he would have it in a very short time. After Mr. Watson's murder he showed me 51., but he had not change to pay me. I cannot read. Garret Shaughnessy--I live in Limerick; I was committed to the gaol there before last Christmas. The prisoner was in the yard of the gaol with me. We slept in the same cell for three nights. I asked him what brought him there ? He said it was suspicion of Mr. Watson's murder. On the next day he said he was glad he had a friend to speak to, and told me that when he was Coming to prison he was going to give his wife some money he had about him, but the constable told him he might want it. We slept together. He told me that there were 13 head of cattle of his canted, and that before Mr. Watson was murdered he brought his note to Mr. Watson to raise money, and that he refused him. He then said he expected " God or man would not blame him to kill that ruffian ;" after that he stated that ,he went to Glonomera on the day of the murder; he said his wife's cousin told him to be there that day, and have good witnesses, or he should suffer for all; the prisoner also spoke of his servant, James Kelly, being charged with the business, and that, " thank God, nothing was got out of him ;" we used to talk together from breakfast to dinner ; he said something about a gun ; he stated that he gave it to Hayes, and only got the barrel of it back. Cross-examined—l told all this in about three days after ; I told it to a man named Forrest—a man who is married to my own second cousin; Mr. Browne then came to me, and I made the information; I heard very little of a reward, and it had no influence on me ; I was never charged about anything but the butter; I am not tried yet; my trial stands over; I believe Forrest was convicted ; I believe the prisoner told Forrest something about the business. Michael Whelan—On the day of Mr. Watson's murder the prisoner called to see my master, Mr. Arthur; he waited there, off and on, until the report came that Mr. Watson was dead.  Mr. O'
