The reporters then left the jury room, and it was resolved upon examining the witnessas after they had left the room, but on the first witness having bees examined, he was placed in care of several of the county police,who had had orders from the coroner to keep the witnesses from telling the reporters anything. This caused considerable dissatigaction, not only to the reporters, but to the various parties both in the house and in the market place. Four or five witnesses were examined, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, the prisoner Garnet was admitted as a witness. He remained in the room upwarls of one hour, after which he left, and in a few minutes afterward he was again called into the room, where he remained until tventy minutes to five o'check. After that, the inquest was adjourned to two o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday, the 30th December, to be held at the Railway Hotel, near the Rochdale station of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, Rochdale.  After the adjournment, the prisoner Garnet was taken to one of the cells in the H?ywood lockups. The three prisoners have been in the lockups at Salford prison since the Wednesday previous. At two o'clock an Thursday the coroner and jury held another adjourned inquest at the Railway Inn, Rochdale. The three prisoners who had nen conveyed from Heywood in a coach, were placed in one of he chambers of the inn, in care of several county police officers. The prisoner Benjamin Garnet, who had been examined as a w Mess on the day previous at the inquest at Heywood, was recaled, but no other witness was examined. At three o'clock Rio coroner left the room for the jury to decide on a verdict. In ten minutes afterwards he was called into the jury room, where he remained fifteen minutes, and then again left the jury to decide on their verdict.

A large number of peisons were opposite the Railway Inn waiting to see the three prisoners taken back in the coach to Heywood.
