Since the inquiry before the coroner relative to the murder of Andrew Border and his wife, the prisoner, Timmas Miller, has been gradually recovering from the wounds ho inflicted upon himself, and it was expected that in the course of a few days he would be able to be removed and undergo an examination before the magistrates. In order, however, to avoid the excitement of a police court it was determined to conduct the investigation at the residence of the prisoner, and accordingly, tni. Tuesday last Mr. P. C. Sheppard, a county magistrate, proceeded to Warleigh and took the depositions in the prisoner's bed-room, in which he was lying. Mr. Skritie, of Warleigh-house, accompanied by Mr. Phelps, his solicitor, was present but took no part in the proceedings. Mr. Slack, solicitor, of Bath, was present on behalf of the prisoner. All the witnesses, who gave evidence at the inquest were again examined, in addition to the prisoner's mother, who until to-day was too une ell to undergo an examination. She gave her evidence in a collected manner and without the le -is t indecision. Her name is Elizabeth Miller, and, being sworn, she deposed,—l am the wife of Thos. Miller. The prisoner is my son. He is 27 years of age. He has never been a ;dieted to drinking, nor have I noticed anything wrong about his state of mind further than that after he has been reading I have heard him remark that he felt his head rather light on the top. On the night of Friday preceding the murder I had no rest in consequence of the state he was in. He appeared to think there was some one fighing with him all the night. I thought ho was going to have a fever. He said the Philistines were coming to him. I sat by his side all the night, and whenever I went away for a moment lie called me back. He got up between 6 and 7 o'clock, and I gave him some tea. He seemed much better afterwards. I then went to the Shepherd's-farm, having business there during the day ; before I went I told Mrs. Hancock to send for me if she observed my son to be worse. Daniel Hancock cameto me in the afternoon and said Thomas was very bad. I came home at 5 o'clock and gave him some tea. I then made preparations for him to put his feet in hot weather, and when I was upstairs getting the water ready this circumstance happened. As I was upstairs Ibe ard the door open and then a scream. Iran downstairs as fast as pos. sible ; but when I got down I found no one in the kitchen. The scream I heard appeared to be that of a man. I rushed out of doors, and as I got to the door I fancy I touched some one's coat. It was quite dark, and I could not tell who it was. I think it was Tom. The door was wide open. When I got out of the door I saw that some one taid fallen down on the pathway, and I called to Daniel Hancock to come out to see who it was. It was the body of Mrs. Border. She was lying alsoet 3 yards from the door. Mrs. Hancock brought a .ight, and said, " Why, here is Mrs. Border lying on the ground 1" Mrs. Border neither spoke mr moved. I went into Bradfield.'s house, and remained there until my son was found. After my sor was got into bed I returned home. My husbandremained in bed all night, and asked me on the following morning what the noise was about. I said that Tom bad been ill. The knife ,roduced belongs to my son, and was usually kept, in the kitchen window. I did not see the knife that evening. I never knew my son speak in any arry way inregard.to the Borders. I had not heard him mention their names for some time. My son NinS a very saving young man, and had some mone: in the savings-bank. The money found in the box belongs to me. I think there was 921. in the b sx. Be was always a good and dutiful son to me. 3y Mr. Slack.—He was as harmless as a child ; la acted sometimes more like a child than a man. Xy husband was not capable of taking c ire of the rr iney, as he has not been right in his mind during the last 9 years. He is now in the lunatic ward of the workhouse, he was removed there a few days since. By Mr. William., magistrates' clerk.—l don't mow what caused my husband to become insane ; hi lust some money about 24 years ago. He has toll me three or four times that he had attempted to tommit suicide; on one occasionhe tried to drown aimself at Dundas. The depsitions h tying been ead over to the prisoner, who was cautioned in the %nal way, he made no reply, Mr. Slack advising hin to say nothing. The prisoner was then fullycommaed for trial. The magistrate (Mr. Sheppard) decided to make any order at present respecting the mo.ey standing to the prisoner's credit in the Bath Savings-bank (471. 3s. Bd.) or the 92/. found in the hot's,. Mr. Edwards, surgeon, stilted that he could not give a certificate for the removal of .he prisoner until the following day.  M. England, in answer to Mr. Travis, stated that they had evidence to collect from London and other parts for the prosecution; and it would require a remand to Wednesday. Mr. Wells asked if the court intended to fix the adjournment to Wednesday. He should have liked a shorter period than a week.  Yr. Travis said be had just reosived intimation that there was another charge to be preferred aga;nst the prisoner. Ur. Wells then applied for the prisoner to be admitted to bail.  -
