"I do not think that child is mine , and I do not think she knows anything about the sacrament . I he child was accordingly questioned as to her knowledge of the nature of an oath ; and her answers being satisfactory , the examination was allowed to proceed . She said her name was Lucy Spollen , and that she was the daughter of the prisoner . On the evening of Mr . Little being murdered , she recollects her father coming home between seven and eight o ' clock . He held in his hand some pot or other article of a round shape , but . of what material she could not say , as it was dark at the time Her father took a ladder and put it up to the roof . Her mother was at the door during this tuna . She ( the -witness ) then proceeded : — "l had a sun bonnet winch I never wore . It went about the house as a duster . I last saw it ia the house , I think , the day before Mr . Littles murder" ( The piece of calico found with the money was here produced , and was identified by the girl as the bonnet which had been referred to by her . ) " I never saw that bonnet after the murder . Since the murder , my father told me that if any person showed me a piece of chamois leather , or rag , to say ' I never saw it before '" On cross-examination the child denied that she had ever been told what to say when questioned on her oath . She also denied that her mother had held any conversation with her since she was privately examined on the previous Thursday , further than to ask , Have you been swornV Her mother , she said , had enjoined her to tell the truth , and that was all . On being pressed further , the child admitted that she had informed her mother of the fact of the piece of calico having been shown her . This piece of calico she recognised by the colour and the shape . A couple of nights after the murder , ' she asked her mother what it was her i ^ er had been doing on the roof , but she refused to tell tor . "I do not remember , " continued the girl , anybody being present when my father desired me to ^ Y ^ Z knowledge of the calico . No person has ever spoken , o me about this business , except what my mother said to me , to tell the truth . " Daniel Ryan , an inspector of the detective police , related some circumstances which haptue j
pened at the station on eveumg . u . ^ ~~» """ Spollen was arrested . Between nine and ten o clock at n £ 'ht , the inspector went to Frederick-lane . station , where fae ° found Mrs- Spollen , who , on her husband being brought into the room said , " Oh , you wicked mani , you have destroyed your family ; what I have done I did for the -ood of your soul .

but she instantly , ** .- * . ""— -, " ~ r him back ! " Spolk-n , having been informed by Mr . Guy of the charge against him , said , " I deny it m toto . lhe charge was then formally made , and the woman said , « Search him well ; leave nothing with him . Give him a fair trial for his life , for I know-his words when he was on his sick-bed . He is determined not to confess it . " Confess what , woman ? " asked Spollen . His wile answered , " You know you murdered him ; you told me all about it at a " quarter past nine o'clock on the luiday snui io umi ^ l *
morning-after you me . uo ..... — — tales '" To this her husband made no reply , but partlyhung his head . Mr .
