Did not say to Mr. Taylor that she could not swear it was Seddon she had seen.  of the deceased was subsequently found. The ynunger prisoner carried a box and a stick, both of which were subsequently found near the body ; and a witness deposed to a noise being heard, as of some rubbish being thrown into the brook, and two persons answering the description of the prisoners, were seen leaving the spot in the direction of Ormond-street. About four o'clock the body was discovered, laid in such a position as gave reason to believe that it had been carefully deposited, and the circumstances forbid the idea being entertained that the deceased had fallen in. A contusion was found on his temple, which accounted for his death. Several articles, identified by the mother of the deceased, were found in Seddon's stable, some of which were claimed by Dean. The box in which the deceased carried his money was found carefully secreted in the stable, and in various parts of the stable money was found hidden, and some in the box of Seddon.
