FURTHER PARTICULARS.  LAMBETH POLICE-COURT.--(YESTERDAY). On Thursday evening, about a quarter past five o'clock, a horrid murder was coolly committed in Peacock-street, Newington, on the person of Daniel Fitzgerald. Samuel Quennell, a labourer, was taken to the Lambeth station-house on suspicion of being the murderer, and was brought up for examination yesterday morning before Mr. Henry, at the Lambeth Police-court. The prisoner is of a very dark complexion, ruddy countenance, stands about five feet seven inches high, firmly built, and may be about twenty-eight years of age. When put into the dock he appeared depressed; his small dark eyes heavy with trouble and sadness. During the examine. tion he was observed to weep. _ .  The first witness called was Owen M`Carthy. He said he was a labouring man, living in Queen-street, York-street, Walworth. Has been working for Mr. Quennell, but not for the last nine days. Understands the prisoner is brother to Mr. Quennell. Saw prisoner yesterday in Kenningtonlane about twelve o'clock, near the Horse and Groom, but had no conversation with him. Did not see him again till the time of the murder of Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald is a labouring man. Has worked for Quennell many years. Yesterday witness was at work down Kennington lane, came up to the yard with a barrow, when he met deceased about five o'clock. He and decestaes walked out of the yard, down Kennington-lane, and crossed over into Peacock street. They had just come up to where the pump stands, when some person came up and met Fit* gerald in front. Witness and deceased were then both abreast. Immediately a bright flash of light completely dazzled his eyes. He thought he heard the report of a pistol, but for the moment he was stunned. The instant after he saw the deceased with his hand pressed against his left side and bending double to the left. Deceased said " I'm a dead man." He said no more. At that time witness and deceased were close together. Prisoner came up right in front of Fitsgerald. Prisoner said nothing. Deceased bent down sideways, holding his side, and said, " I'm a dead man." After the shot prisoner did not run. Witness saw him walk quite leisurely away, as the light dazzled in his eyes, He continued walking till witness bolloed out —" A man shot ; stop him." Witness heard nothing before •r after the shot, except the exclamation from Fitz gerald. Did not overtake the prisoner, and did not come to the station-house with prisoner after he was caught, but went and told Mr. Quennell that Fitzgerald had been shot. Did not return to the spot where Fitzgerald was. Witness does not know of any quarrel between Fitzgerald and the prisoner, or bad feeling, or heard any angry word ever pass. He did not see whence the prisoner came from at the time of the murder. The road where they were has no footpath. Is not a thoroughfare for carts. It is very narrow. Henry Cottin is a messenger in the Court of Bankruptcy, Basinghall-street, and lives in Vauxhall. He said, yesterday evening, about five o'clock or a quarter past, he was going down Kennington-lane, towards Vauxhall, when he heard a pistol report. He was then just by the corner of the lane and the Kennington-road. He had not walked above a hundred yards before he saw a crowd and a man advancing towards him, running. He went and took hold of him, and had him taken to the station-house. Prisoner is that man. He made little resistance. As another man came running up hurriedly, prisoner said, "Take me to the station-house." From first to last he heard him say nothing except that. He had a hat on, but nothing in his hand when running. At the stationhouse a pistol was taken from him out of his trousers' pocket on the right side. Henry Martin Allam—Lives in Agnes-street, Waterlooroad ;he was passing down Kennington-lane, last night, about five o'clock ; saw the prisoner running as if against him ; immediately after heard a cry " Stop him." Witness could not  stopped him. He did not  come up with him ti hear any report. Ann Westwood—Lives at 11, Peacock-street, with Mrs. Brentwood, a greengrocer, in the same house as deceased lived at.
