COCRT—I am quite certain that the prisoner is the men I_followed. _  lames Mlialion, gutta perches worker, 13 years of age deponed—l was in the High Street early on Sunday morning, the 30th Dec. last, in company with Charles Donnelly and Peter Ballantyne. I saw a great crowd near the Cross in High Street. I went near to where two men were standing „awl heard one,whom I now know to have been Gall, say "If I had a mrui like myself here I would not see him auused." the man he meant was the prisoner, and Kyle called Gall aside to him. I then saw the pri• goner hit Gall on the leg nesr the bottom of the belly with his right-hand. I then heard Gall exclaim,"o, ffify God! he has stuck me, send for the doctor." Then Gall came up the street holding his leg, and supported by • man, reached a lamp-post, where he fell down. As soon as the prisoner had struck Gall he 'walked away a piece, and then broke into a run. He ran straight down the Saltmarket in the direction of the Waverley Close. Erskine and others ran after the prisoner, and I stayed beaide Gall at the lamp-post. I saw the prisoner soon after in the hands of the police. I saw him in the Police Office, Albion Street,;on the Sunday morning, and identified him as the man who stabbed Gall. There was no scuffle at all between Gall and the prisoner. I saw the prisoner take his hand from his right hand pocket before he gave the blow. The nearest person to Gall was a yard distant. From what I saw there was nobody else could have stabbed Gall. Before the prisoner broke into a run, a woman called out, " Hook.it now, you have done it at last,' meaning by "hook it" to run off. ' Peter Ballantyne, gutta-percha worker, 13 years of age —I was in the High Street at the time of the murder. I saw the prisoner speaking with Gall near the Cross. I saw the prisoner draw his hand and strike Gall on the lower part of the belly, just upon the top of the thigh at the right side. The prisoner then moved away, and I heard Gall cry "Murder, police; get the doctor; he has struck me." Charles Erskine called out, "Follow me, chaps; I'll catch him." The pfisoner had been moving away. I remained at the Crme ; but Erskine and the others went after the prisoner: Gall was leaning upon a man till he dropped down at the lamp-post. I soon saw the police come past with the prisoner. The man whom I saw pass the prisoner lam sure was the man who struck Gall.  John Connor, turner —1 was in the High Street between twelve and one of the Sunday morning of 30th Dec. last. I saw a crowd. I stood five minutes. I saw a man corning up from the crowd, which was composed of more than a dozen of persons. I saw another man come out of the crowd, and the second man put his hands on the shoulders of the first one. The first man I saw was the prisoner, and the second was Gall. I saw the prisoner take his hands front his pockets and draw his right hand back, and then thrust his forward upon the thigh of Gall. Gall drew back, saying he wished a doctor, for he was stabbed. Another man came forward to prisoner and told him to run. The prisoner then ran towards the Saltmarket, which was in the direction of the Waverley Close. I was standing on the Trongate side of the street, and some young men came up, -and I pointed out the prisoner to them. Went for two policemen, who went up the Waverley Close and brought out the prisoner in custody. (Looked at the prisoner.) He is very much altered if the prisoner is the man. (Shown the two policemen, whom he identified as they who had brought out the prisoner.) The man whom they brought out of the close was the man whom I had seen push his hand against Gall. By Mr
