CORONER—If the Jury return a verdict against you, you will be committed to take your trial for the murder.  Johnson (with apparent indifference)—that remains to be proved.  Johnson then put on his bat, and tucking up his sleeves to receive the handcuffs, which were immediately placed on him, walked out of the room in an unconcerned manner. Fare and Cooper were handcuffed together, and with Johnson conveyed to prison.  The CORONER then summed up the evidence, and the Jury, after consulting together a short time, returned a verdict---" That Benjamin Couch Danby was wilfully murdered by William Johnson and John Cooper, at or about midnight of Wednesday, the 19th inst., and that Samuel Fare aided and assisted in the commission of the crime."  The witnesses were then bound over to appear at the Sessions against the prisoners. The executors of the deceased's father undertook to prosecute. Evidence was taken against Fare fur having robbed the deceased before he was murdered, and for which another indictment will be preferred against him. From the evidence which has been adduced in this long and laborious inquiry it would seem that the commission of this dreadful crime has arisen entirely from the free and imprudent conduct of the deceased in associating with almost every abandoned vagabond whom he met at the public-houses, and to whom the exhibition of his purse was a sufficient temptation to commit murder. It was supposed that Danby always carried a great deal of money with him, but that was a very mistaken notion, because it is well known that when he left London, about a week ago, for Enfield, he had only 3!. in his pocket, one of which he had paid on account of a debt which lie had contracted, so that the utmost sum taken from him by his murderers, was 2!.  The statement made by Cooper of the manner in which Johnson destroyed the life of his victim caused a thrill of horror through the jury-room. From the statement made by Cooper, it is evident that when Johnson threw the deceased down he plunged the knife into some part of the deceased's head; a mere push into a soft ditch would not have caused that sudden insensibility which affected the deceased, and the pain and anguish it is evident he endured when he exclaimed to his murderer, " Oh don't, for pity's sake, don't take my life." The circumstance of Cooper's cap being stained with blood, when the deceased fell on him, is a strong circumstance in favour of that supposition. Johnson has for a long time been considered an abandoned character. When in the cage at Enfield on Wednesday he did not appear anxious to enter into conversation with any one, but continued in a sullen reserved state during the day. Fare was desirous to converse with any one, and said he was fully satisfied that the inquiry wauld terminate in his favour. Fare amused himself nearly the whole of Wednesday night, laughing and singing, but his fellow-prisoner was perfectly quiet, and slept nearly the whole of the night. Yesterday evening they were conveyed to the New Prison at Clerkenwell.  The I:adie,3t:,tigeLi.rF hCao:narterisysedofiuNicVhAesitt.lry K anal til,chi.so.,e r, the no their way to Brighton.  The
