EXAMINATION OF GOOD'S ALLEGED WIFE, AND THE MAN GAMBLE. At half-past three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon Richard Gamble and Mary Good, who has recently been known to the public as " Old Molly Good," were placed in the dock before Mr. Hall, charged with having in their possession certain articles the property of Jane Jones, who was :murdered at Putney Park-lane. Mr. Heywood, cleric to the Solicitor of the Treasury, con, ducted the case for the prosecution. Police-serjeant Thornton, 4 E, stated that he had been employed to watch the prisoners, the premises of Mrs. Good being in Flower and Dean-street, Spitalfields, and Gamble's at No. 2, Tindale's-buildings, Gray's Inn-road. He had seen the prisoner Gamble go on several occasions to the house of Mrs. Good, and remain there some time. He had also seen him leave the house of the woman Good accompanied by her and return again with her. On one occasion he saw Gamble come out of Mrs. Good's house with a bundle, which he took to his own place. On Saturday he went to Gamble's lodgings with Inspector Pearce, and in the front room second floor he found the three cotton gowns produced, hid under the bed. He searched the lodgings of the prisoner Good on Tuesday afternoon, and found a piece of blue silk wrapped up in a pillow-case, as also a black cloth bag, containing a purse, with 3s. 10d in it, two black mitts, three napkins, a towel, two dinner knives and forks, and a small knife, a piece of black glazed calico, and two pairs of stockings. Inspector Pearce, of the A division, deposed that lie had also watched the prisoners, especially the male prisoner. He had followed him to Tooley-street—from thence to the resi. dence of Mary Good, where he stayed half an hour. On Saturday evening, he met the prisoner in Gray's Inn-lane. He asked him " If he had received a parcel from Good ?" and he said "He bad not." He left him in the care of a constable whilst he went to his lodging, and, upon searching it, he found two shirts (produced, one marked S. Perry). Prisoner said they had been given him by a woman named Mary Good. He also said he had a bundle as well from the same  person. Mary Anne Clarke, of No. 18, South-street, Manchestersquare, indentified the piece of blue silk produced as belonging to Jane Jones, and part of the piece which she had made the bonnet from She also s;:id that the gowns produced were of the same pattern and make as some she had seen Jane Jones wear. Edward Pritchett, of No. 3, Edward's Hoxton, said he knew the two prisoners, and was employed to watch them ; he saw them on Thursday last at the George and Guy, Fashion-street, Spitalfields. He heard the female prisoner say to the male prisoner, " The last night I saw poor Dan he said I am afraid I shall be taken, " but he said, " I shall keep out of the way as long as I can. " Gamble said, " Hold your tongue, leave it to me, he'll never be taken." Mary Anne Grayson, of No. 4, Flower and Dean-street, said the female prisoner, Good., lodged with her. Gamble had been three times. A man, whom Good represented as her husband, came at seven o'clock on the morning of Thursday week. She didn't see him with any bundle. Mr. HALL, the magistrate, here observed that be did not see that a case of robbery could be made out against the prisoners. If they were at all implicated, it was for being accessories after the fact of the murder. He should, therefore commit them both till Thursday next, when they would be brought up with the prisoner, Daniel Good. The prisoners were then removed in custody.
