PRICE SD.  Mr. Higgs would grant the order. A subsequent application was then made to Mr. Higgs, but that gentleman still refused, stating that he had no power to give a second order, having already employed Mr. Parrott to make the post mortem examination. The result of this communication was conveyed to Mr. Mayne, who immediately waited upon Sir George Grey, the Home Secre tary, and informal the Right Hon. Baronet what steps he (Mr. Mayne) had taken in the matter. Sir George Grey agreed with Mr. Mayne that he had no power to order the contents of the stomach to be forwarded either to Professor Taylor or Dr. Letheby, but at the same time ordered him to send Dr. Fisher. the physician to the Metropolitan Police-force, to Mr. Parrott, to ascertain whether they could not make the analysis. In accordance with these instructions, Dr. Fisher had an interview with Mr. Parrott yesterday, and, after having been informed by that gentleman of the inflammatory state of the intestines (which showed evident indications of the presence of poison), Dr. Fisher said he thought it would not be politic for him to make the analysis. Mr. Parrott still declining to make the analysis, a further communication was sent to Mr. Higgs last night, requesting him to give an order to Professor Taylor or Dr. Letheby, but the result has not yet transpired. Last evening, Mr. Smith and Mr. Field, the two active officers of the detective force, who have the case in hand, received information from a source on which they can place the greatest reliance, that a man was seen to leave the house in Claremont-place, a little before one o'clock on Sunday, and from the description given of him there can be no doubt he is one of two men who were seen lurking about the neighbourhood early on Sunday morning. The police yesterday made a most minute examination of the drawers and cupboards which were broken open by the thieves, and they are decidedly of opinion that the robbery was never perpetrated by regular housebreakers. The implement used for forcing open the drawers was a small chisel, the blade of which is not more than two inches long, and, what is a most extraordinary fact, it is the property of Mr. Meddle, and was kept in a small tool. chest in the back kitchen, from whence the thieves must have taken it into the drawing-room, where it was afterwards found. The police are convinced that bad the robbery been perpetrated by professed " cracksmon," they would have taken their tools with them, and not have depended upon the chance of finding implements in the house. _  The manner in which the drawers and cupboards have been broken open, confirmed the police in their conviction that the thieves were not expert hands. The chisel was not, as is usually the case, applied near the locks, but was put in at the side of the drawers, and the fronts forced out, an operation which would occupy a much longer period than forcing them from the locks. In the event of Mr. Higgs still refusing to give the necessary order for the analysis, there is no doubt from what transpired late last evening, that Sir George Grey will take upon himself to do so, as, until the analysis is made, the Government are precluded from offering any reward for the apprehension of the, supposed murderers.
