WORSHIP-STREET.  George Hart was brought up for -fe examination be, fore Mr. Arno:d, charged upon his own confession with having been accessory to the murder of the child Henry Lazarus.  On being placed at the bar, the prisoner looked ghastly pale, and exhibited such a complete prostration of mental and physical energies that he was allowed to be seated during the proceedings. The notes of the evidence adduced before Mr. Hammill, as to the surrender and partial confession made by the prisoner, were now read over, and Alderman, the gaoler, stated that upon conducting him to his cell on the former day, the prisoner displayed the greatest anguish and remorse, and exclaimed in an agonized manner," I wish I was dead and out of this world I"  „ „.. . Inspector Pascoe said that he considered it Leces,ary to lay before the magistrate an anonymous letter he had received sow time before the surrender of the prisoner, bearing initials corresponding with those of the man whom the prisoner had declared to be the murderer, and which in the CLl'Yst po-itive manner retorted the charge upon the prisoner himself in the following words:—” I have just parted company with the man who strangled the little Jew boy. I have promised to meet him at ten o'clock to night, at Shoreditch Church. I give you this information hecause he has lately told several persons in the neighbourhood that he intends to give himself up and split against me. You hail better go in plain clothes if you go at all, and take him. His name is Tom Hart, and he lives in Fashion street, Brick-lane. He is dressed in a tweed coat, drab trousers, hat, and green handkerchief. We sold the clothes in Rosemary-lane. Whenihe is once in custody I will appear against him, and tell all about it, if I am promised a pardon, and part of the reward which is offered. He is a short man, about five feet four inches, and I know he will be at the church, as I promised to lend him some money to go on the tramp. We met the little boy in Whiteehapel, and took him to the arches in Commercial-street, and there we tied a handkerchief round his neck and done hip], and I took the body where it was found." The inspector added, that all their efforts to obtain a clue to the writer of the letter in question had been hitherto unsuccessful, and he considered it most probable that ho was not yet aware of the prisoner's apprehension, or that the Governmens had promised a pardon to any accomplice not being the actual murderer, as the printed handbills to that effect had only been circulated a few days. Mr. ARNOLD then asked the prisoner if be wished to add anything further to his statement, at the same time cautioning him that he was not bound to say anything unless he thought proper, and whatever he did say would be taken down as evidence.  The prisoner, sullenly—l know nothing at all about it. The prisoner was then remanded ; and upon being removed to the cell, he requested to be furnished at first with writing materials, and upon Surgtaut Saunders taking temporary charge of him, in the absence of the officer who had previously dune so, he entered into a minute and lengthened detail of the circumstances attending the transaction and it was understood made certain other disclosures, which it would not be prudent to divulge in the present stage of the investigation.
