Tne Bermondsey Murder, The Following Add...
" _aUsMSG was then _requested to stand up on a ehair , but being a great , big , hulking fellow , he sat upon the side ofthe dock in a careless attitude , his feet resting upon the chair , and his hands on his knees , upon whieh laid his hat . He looked much "better than on the last occasion when he was bronght up . He had on a kind of thick blue paletot , "buttoned closel y up to the chin , and a pink siik 'kerchief round liis neck , which was tied in a flash fashion . It may , perhaps , he mentioned tbat his countenance has altogether a repulsive appearance , and that his neck is very short , and so thick that ,
looking at it from behind , it seems to project out almost as far as any part of the head . Airs . Manning was requested also to stand up on a chair , bnt declined , observing that it was too high , and she * was allowed to stand on the ground . " She looked exceedingly well , and entered into an animated conversation , previousto thc examination commencing , with Mr . Keene and Mr . Solomons , in the course of which a continued smile played upon her countenance . When she was requested to lift up her veil , and show her countenance , she immediately complied . The colour then seemed to leave ber _counte"Sanco , and it afterwards looked pale .
Mr . _Boi'Ki * -. * having briefly adverted to the horrid nature of the crime with which the prisoners were eharged _, stated that , ih addition to the evidence taken hefore the coroner ' s inquisition , he was iu a condition to bring forward something of an important nature , which had not already transpired . lie bad placed the legal advisers ofthe prisoners in possession ofall the new facts which Avould be disposed to , and be had also afforded thera every information which was necessary to conduct thc defence . If . Barkis was the first witness examined bv
Mr . Bodkin . lie said he Avas a police-officer in the E division , 256 . On the loth of August he went with another officer to 3 , Minver-place . Found the bouse empty . Obtained an entrance , and went to the back kitchen . Noticed a peculiarity—a damp mark—between two of the stones . He removed them and the earth . The first thing lie found was the toe of a man , about eight inches from the surface ; the body eighteen inches , lying on the face . The legs were tied behind tho thighs . The body was buried in slack-lime . Mr . Lockwood , the doctor , who was called in , took a set of false teeth from the body . " Soon after he was jomed by Mr . Oddling , surgeon of the police office . Air . Flynn Baw thebody before it was removed into the front kitchen . An inquest had heen held on the body , and
a verdict of wilful murder found against the prisoners . On the day the body was found went to the lodgings of the deceased , in Hemming ' s-plaee , 3 file-cnd . James Burton , police-constable , corroborated his former evidence with respect- to the inquiries after Mr . O'Connor , andthe finding of the body in _conjunction with the last witness . Some trunks , carpet-6 ags , and linen were in the kitchen , and the stone under which the body was found was partially covered by them . —By ' Mr . Binns : Had made a memorandum ofhis evidence before he gave it . lie did so the day following the finding of the body . He could not say where he did so , or who was present . Bad a good memory , nevertheless he could not recollect "where he made thc memorandum . It was , he believed , among his papers at home . — _3 fr . Binns said the witness should 20 and fetch
it . —The Magistrate said , if his opinion was asked , it Avas unnecessary . —By Air . Solomons : Bid not find a broken shovel . Bad not had any communication whatever with the other witnesses . Mr . Lockwood , the surgeon referred to , spoke to being called ia to 3 , Minver-place , on the finding of thc body , and to the appearance which it exhibited , as already detailed in his former evidence . The head was fractured extensively , and the scalp divided in several places . The wounds ¦ must have heen inflicted by a blunt instrument . Hc and Mr . Odling made a post-mortem examination of the body . Either the wound with the bullet ( which he produced ) or the fractures were sufficient to cause death . Mr . Stow , the coroner ' s summoning officer , produced thc teeth taken from thc mouth of the deceased .
Mr . _Odmjxg was here called for , hut not appearing , a delay of a few minutes took place , during which Mr . Edwin told the female prisoner , who was suffused with perspiration , to sit down . She at first expressed that she did not wish to do Bo , but immediately after she sat down , and during the delay conversed with her professional adviser . —Not arriving in a quarter of an hour ( during which time Manning remained perched on the edge of the dock , and exhibited wonderful self-possesion ) , Air . Walsh , was called , and deposed to calling at thc house in Minver-place several times to inquire after the deceased , who had been Bussing some days . Tie knew hini well . Last saw him at about twelve o ' clock on the nijrht of
the Sth of August . The deceased was very friendly with the Mannings . —By Mi * . Solomons : On the evening the witness accompanied O'Connor io the house he was sober . lie fainted in the course of the evening , which appeared to arise from smoking , and from the driuk he bud taken during the day . Ue did not think there were any money transactions between the deceased and the Mannings . On the evening in question Airs . Manning spoke about the receipt of some money by Afr . O'Connor , and asked him if hc intended to proceed against some person for the three weeks owing .
Mr . OiuMJXG , surgeon to the Bermondsey police force , deposed to having seen tlie body of the deceased on tlie 17 th ult . afc 3 , _Alinver-jilace , shortly after it had been excavated , and to having examined it . Ho then stated that he discovered no less than eighteen wounds on fhe head , and saw the ball extracted from the forehead , hut could not trace the hole through which it had entered . Thc blows he said had been committed with great violence , and were sirZi' _/ _icni to cause _hisLintuueous de : ah . There was a jdacc at the beck of the head ¦ winch had the appearance of discharged gunpowder . ¦ —This witness was not cross-examined .
Mr . Keatixg , Custom-house officer , in the Examine- ' s office , was next examined , and spoke to having seen the deceased last on the Oth of August , on Lund _w-bridge , at about a quarter to five o ' clock , srhen witness was accompanied by Mr . Graham , another Custom-house officer . He then repeated his evili nee _wiih _respect to O Connor showing bim a letter signed "Maria , " aud to his saving that hc was going to dine wi h her . O'Connor wa * at the _tunevr dkiug to the Surrey side of the bridge . Witness had frequently seen the female prisoner in the company of O'Connor . On calling at 3 , Minverplace , on the Suuday following the disappearance of the deceased , he saw Mrs . Manning , and she admi ' ted that she bad been 10 O'Connor ' s lodgings on
the _Friday , but said that she had gone there for the purpose of _-eehig whit had become of him , as she had invited him ' 0 come to diuner on Thursday , and that ler husband thought it very ungentlea > anly of him t _' _nat he did not make his appearance . She said her _husband ltd gone to chmch , and tbat lie wonJd not he kotae at six , as tbey were going out 10 tea . Ue noticed that she appeared slightly ne .-rous at the time—Cross-examined by Mr .

* * r . Wm . Flvxn , also an officer m ihe Custom ? , said the deceased was a relative of his , and that he hai known him for nine years , lie was a scemd cousin . He Avas shown a body at 3 , Minver-place , on thc ITth of _August , upon which an inquisition was hoi -ing at the time , and it was that of Patrick O'Connor . Ue had not the _slightest doubt about it being the _bad ** of that person . Tbe witness stated , whan he called at Miuver-place to ask for . O Connor , Mr 3 Manning looked pale and rather Hurried . —Crossexam " ned by Mr . Binns : 1 knew that the decensed had _fatse teeth , because I hive _ssen bim without thein at his lodgings , at his office , and at my own _houic . I saw htm last two months before his death I observed «> y accident that he had false teeth . He did not tell me that hc had them . 1 made no obser--vation to him upon making thc discovery .
Axve Arjies _, Mr . O'Connor ' s landlady , was the next witness . On being asked if she knew Manning , she said she did not recollect him . She used to _visit Mr . _O'Conuor frequently alone ; sometimes Manning came with her . Her sister usually opened the door . She was on friendly terms , and so was the _person who came with her , whom she understood to he ier husband . She deposed to Mrs . Manning coming to thc _deceased ' s lodgings and taking away the prjp rty deposed to have been stolen-Mr . Disss said _the-e was no evidence to show that tlie m . ie iiri « 3 uer had ever c . dled at the lodgings of the dc eased . The identity was not made out . Mr Ha max said he could p : ove it by the sister of the i -wt witness .

About twelve months back she heard a conversation between them about borrowing money , and she also heard a _conversation on money matters . —Mr , _BiuttS and Mr . Soiomoas asked some _< iuesti * ons , but tho only thing material was that Mr . O'Conuor had told her
Tne Bermondsey Murder, The Following Add...
not to lot Mrs . Manning in any more . Had seen Mrs . Manning and Mr . O'Connor in the bed-room together . Did not know anything about whether they were intimate or not . On her oath she did notbelicve that they wore on terms of the closest intimacy . Emily Armes was re-called . —Recollected Mrs . Manning being at her sister ' s on the Friday before Mr . O'Connor ' s death . The cash-box was on the table . Mrs . Manning said she 6 hould like to buy some railway shares . He said , " You had better buy so and so . " She could not recollect the name of the line . Kecollccted Mrs . Manning coming in on the Thursday at the private door . She came again on the Friday . The time was a quarter to six . She noticed the clock , because she had to send tbe hoy out at that time . She asked if Mr .
O'Connor was in . She said he was not . She went out through the shop at a quarter past seven , having bought some cakes . She looked pale and agitated . —By Mr . Solomons : Had known the female prisoner about a year and a half , during which time she came frequently to Mr . O'Connor ' s _lodgings . Mr . O'Connor was showing her some railway snares whilst they were talking on the day she mentioned . She was not bound to go through the shop , she might have gone out by the private door if she had thought proper . Mrs " Manning and Mr . O'Connor wove on friendly terms . She had often taken tea Avith him alone . —Re-examined : Mrs . _Manning told Mr . O'Connor that she wished to be instructed how to purchase some railway shares . —By the Magistrate : Knew Mrs . Manning wentinto the bed-room , because she used to push up the window
and water the flowers . Mr . William Massry , the medical student who lodged in Manning ' s house , was then called and sworn . He repeated his evidence as to the conversation with Manning , when he asked him what drug would _produce stupefaction or partial intoxication , in order to induce a person to put his hand to a promissory rote for £ 500 , and also as t _< other conversations both with the male snd female prisoner . His ( witness ' s ) reply to the question whether laudanum or chloroform would produce stupefaction was , that he believed tho _^ e drugs had been used for bad _purposes . On anotiier occasion Manning asked which was the most dangerous part of the head to hit ? and he replied , under the car ; and al _* owhen
, he was talking about Bush , whether he thought a murderer would go to heaven ? Manning observed , at the fame time , that he thought he would go to Madame _Tassau-i ' s and see the figure ofthat murderer . Another question was asked about the noise mado by an air-gun . Witness tl . ought tbat these questions were asked with the view of getting him to become a party to their acts . —Cross-examined by Mr . Binns : I wrote two or three letters to O'Connor , by the direction of the Mannings , inviting Mm to ( Turner . I do rot know when the first letter was written ; the second , I think , was written in the middh * of July . Mr . O'Connor came to Manning ' s house after the second or third letter was written . I cannot swear whether he was there three times !
but I think lie was there three times , I don't believe I saw him after the last letter . I went into the country on Monday , the 5 th of August , and I wrote the lust letter to O ' Connor very nearly a fortnight before then . To the best of my recollection , it mis-lit be a week or more before the 5 th . I put my name to that letter . The male prisoner and I were not on bad terms before I left London . There was some dispute about money ; be claimed £ 13 , and I found that he afterwards sent a bill _ii-t _* > the country for £ 15 . —Re-examined .- I once had a quarrel with him in the _Presence of some medical students about a _bst . We left on tolerable terms . I lodg . d with the prisoners altogether nine or ten weeks .
Mr . Coleman , the owner of 3 , Minver-place , gave a repetition of his former evidence . At the conclusion ofhis examination , Mr . Bodkin said he understood it was tbe intention of one oftho legal advisers ofthe prisoners to apply for the postponement of their trial at the Old Bailey until tho session after next . He ( Mr . Bodkin ) would be prepared to state to-morrow ( Friday ) morning whether he could consent to tho application on the part of the Crown . Mr . Solomoxs said his client ( Airs . Manning ) desired hiiu to state that she wished tlie fullest and most ample inquiry into the matter concerning the death of the deceased , and he had no objection to the course proposed by Mr . Bodkin . It was understood that Mr . Binns coincided in the
suggestion , and at a quarter past four the magistrate adjourned tlio further hearing ofthe evidence until twelve o ' clock to-morrow ( Friday ) , when Mr . Bodkin will give a reply . The court Avas nearl y cleared beforo the prisoners were removed from the dock . Manning did not once move from tbe position he first took on the side of the dock , and he onl y spoke once to his solicitor during tho examination , to which ho gave great attention . He looked pale , but appeared quite at Irs ease . Mrs . Manning , on the contrary , several times turned round in the course of the evidence , and consulted with Mr . Solcmon 3 . Towards the close of the proceedings she looked very fatigued ., More than once she \ va 3 noticed to turn slightly round and give a searching glance into her husband ' s face , but when he observed her hc hung down
his head
FRIDAY . The examination of tlie Mannings was resumed at the Southwark Police-court at eleven o ' clock . The court was not nearly go crowded as on the previous day . Mr . _Bodkix , at the commencement of the proceedings , announced that on thc part of the crown he was prepared _t- > accede to the application made on the partof one of the prisoners , to _postpone the trial to the next October session . _RiciuuD Welch , a workman in the employment of Mr .

MARLBOROUGH - STREET . _Charqb op _CnuELiv to a Dog . —Mr . Henry Winder , a silk mercer , residing at No . 29 , Oxford-street , was charged with having wontoniy ill-treated a dog . — Dr . John Bond stated that he was a physician , and resided at * No . 15 , Grafton-streefc , Fitzroy-square . On the previous afternoon about half-past five , be was passing by the Boar and Castle , in Oxfordstreet , when his attention was attracted to a crowd of person who were torturing a little dog by setting a larger animal to worry it . He went up to them , and by persuasion succeeded in getting thc smaller dog aAvay . The latter ran up thc street followed by the larger dog , and when near the defendant ' s shop tviedtorunin for protection . Not succeeding , it
ran round the corner and jumped up at ono of the windows , the . g lass of which was cracked . Tho defendant then came out of his shop with a long polo in his hand , and struck tho dog 111 a most Avauton and cruel manner . Witness remonstrated with him and begged him to desist from such cruelty . He , however , turned a deaf ear to his remonstrance , and taking up tho dog by the skin of its back , threw it with great force into the road . The dog struck a man who was passing on the chest , and having recovered its legs , again ran to defendent _' s shop , who struck the dog again with the polo , broke three of its legs , and almost knocked out one of its eyes . Complainant seeing the dog in great agony , begged of defendant to kill ifc outright ; . He said , in reply ,
withan oath , " I shall do as I like . " Witness then at the earnest solicitations of several gentlemen who had witnessed the transaction , sent for a constable and gave him in charge . Witness added that he did not prefer the charge to gratify any vindictive feeling , but solely on the score of common humanity . —In corroboration of his evidence complainant called several witnesses , avIio proved that tho defendent ' s conduct towards the dog was wanton and cruel in the extreme . —The accused , in defence , said ho was in his shop on Tuesday afternoon , when ho saw the dog , which appeared to be in a rabid state , enter bis shop . He immediately seized a pole used iu lighting thc gas , and drove the dog out . His wifewho Avas in the shop at the time , became
, much alarmed , and as she had only recently recovered from a severe nervous attack , he was afraid it would cause a relapse . The dog then ran round the corner into Perry ' s-place , and tried to jump through the window . Not succeeding , tho animal , which was foaming at the mouth , then came to the shop-door again , and he being much alarmed for tho safety ofhis household laid hold ofthe dog and threw it into the street . In doing so the dog bit him on the back of hia right hand . The animal subsequently camo back again , and in the agony of pain he certainly did strike it with the poll , in order to kill it outright . In support of this statement he called three gentlemen who had witnessed
the whole transaction , ail of whom stated that the dog had been tortured into a state of madness previous to its running into defendant ' s shop ; that the animal wa _* 3 foaming at the mouth , and betrayed every symptom of being in a rabid state , and that defendant had only acted as he had done to secure his and his famil y ' s safety . —Dr . Richardson , 36 , Bedford-square , said , after defendant had been to the station , ho came to his house in a state of considerable excitement , aud , opening his hand , said he had been bitten by a mad dog . On looking at his hand he found a punctured wound just as would bc caused by the bite of a dog , and as it appeared highly inflamed he at onco cauterized it . Dr . Richardson added that ho would not answer for
'the consequences , neither would ho havo such a hand for-E 5 O 0 . —Mr . Hardwick said defendant was acting at the time he struck the dog under the most awful impression regarding the consequences arising from the bite of a dog which , from its having been previously cruelly tortured , might have been in a rabid state . Such a state of mind no doubt totally unnerved him , and under these circumstances he did not think defendant had wontoniy and _crually tortured or ill-treated the dog . Ho should , therefore , dismiss the caso ; but he must say that the complainant and the other gentlemen had acted perfectly right in bringing tho case before him .
Capture of ax Escaped Burglar . —John Teal , a noted burglar , who recently escaped from the Middlesex Hospital , where he had heen confined in cousequence of a serious accident which he sustained in attempting to escape from the police about a fortnight ago , was brought up in custody , having been _re-talten by the police on Tuesday morning last . The prisoner was detected with a companion on tho top of some houses in Argyl ** - street . Thc prisoner made his way over the tops of the houses and into a house , from tho first iloov of which he leaped , and seriously injured the bones of one of his feet . His companion fell from the roof
of a house and was killed on the spot . The prisoner , it appeared , contrived to elude the vigilance of the constable avIio had charge of him in the hospital , and secreted himself for several days with success . Felice Inspector Whall and police-sergeant Gray obtained a clue to his hiding-place in Corbet-place , Brick-lane ; and making their way into thc house by the back premises , in order to avoid an attack from a large and ferocious bull-dog kept in the passage , they took the prisoner as he was lying in bed , playing a game of cards with 0110 of his companions . —The prisoner was remanded till Saturday , and removed tor the present to the inlinnarv .
SOUTHWARK . — "Two of a Trade sever agree . "—Mr . Lewis , of New-street , Kennington , was brought before Mv . Seeker , charged with circulating a placard defaming the professional qualifications of Mr . Bennct , an aurisfc , of Stamfordstreet , and also with threatening to assault him . — The complainant stated that he resides in Stamford-street , and that for somo days past ho has been subjected to much annoyance in consequence ofa man having heen stationed opposite his house bearing on his shoulders a printed placard , designating him an impostor , and cautioning the public against him . That day he went into the street to _expostulate with the man who carried the offensive placard , and was met by the defendant , who applied
language to ' him of the most insulting description , and threatened to break his legs , adding that be had been for some time on the look-out for him to pay hira off . The placard referred to was produced in court , and commenced in large letters "False Aurists—Caution to the Public , " It wont ou to describe the complainant as an impostor and quack , and that he was in the habit of defrauding tho public by pretended cures of deafness .

Sho was on tho most intimate terms with the prosecutor ' s family , and not the slightest suspicion was ever entertained that she ( defendant ) would bc guilty of p lundering them . At intervals during tho last ten years past property had been
missed from the til ! , < tx-., to the amount of several hundred pounds , and on some occasions , in consequence of the losses of the prosecutor , he was unable to meet the demands of the miller and malster .

_( 2 UTLDIIALL . —Ixtra Mural Interments . —Two inhabitants residing in London-Avail entered the court , and inthe midst oftho business addressed Sir Peter Laurie in an agitated manner , and Avished for his interference to cause the removal of a coffin , which was understood to contain a cholera patient , in the churchyard of St . Alphage , in Philip-lane , London-wall , They stated that tlie coffin had been brought there and laid upon tlio ground with the lid off , there _being no grave in fcbe churchyard at tho time , and it heing understood that it bad been removed to that place by order of the coroner of London , merely that it mi g ht be viewed by the gentlemen composing the coroner ' s jury . One of the inhabitants said one ofhis children was now ill , and
he did not know how it might aggravate thc disease . —Sir Peter Laurie said tlie people ' s mind Avas fed by the newspapers with accounts of cholera . Be should order ltoe , the officer of the court , to go and see the churchyard , and report as to the facts stated . —On the return of Roe he said that from the 1 st and 2 nd floors of the houses close to the churchyard the coffin could be seen as described , but it could not from the pathway in the street , in consequence of there being a very hig h wall Tho lid was off , and he certainly thought that instead of exposing it in the churchyard it might have been taken into the church . —Mr . _M'Lcllan , one of the churchwardens , said that application had been made to him to allow the body to be placed in the churchyard , but he
positively refused ; but having occasion to go out on business ho handed the keys and communicated his views to his brother churchwarden . During his absence the ward beadle repeated the application in such a Avay that the churchwarden felt bound to obey the coroner , and gave up the keys . —Sir Peter Laurie asked why an inquest was being held on the body . —Mr . M'Lcllan explained that in going round to inquire from house to house as to the health of the parish , ho found a woman was dead whose sickness he had not heard anything of . Finding thc shutters were not open as usual on Sunday " some children had pulled them open , and seen the body . As it was known her husband was entitled to £ 16 from his club , the neighbours we're greatly Dscited ,
suspecting thc poor woman might have been mur dered . As this information was being given to him tho man walked up tho court with a wipe in his mouth , as unconcerned as if nothing had happened . —Sir Peter Laurie then said he had no doubt this was a proper case- for inquiry , and observed that with respect to these house to house visitations they did moro harm than good , as thoy continually reminded the tenants oftho pestilence that was going abroad ; and whatever trilling indisposition betel them , tliey wero frightened that it might bo the cholera . —Mr . M'Lellan said the inquisition was
then assembled . The jury had viewed the body in tho open yard , being afriad to enter the room whore tho death had occurred . —Sir Peter Laurie said he did not see that ho could interfere with the coroner to any purpose as the inquest would soon bo over and the body removed , but he should like the churchwarden to assure him that such was the fact as soon as tho jury gavo their verdict . —In about half-anhour afterwards Mr . M'Lellan returned to say that the jury had given a verdict of death by cl _iolcra , and that tho body had been instantly removed to the GoIdcn-Ianc burial-ground to remain until a grave could be din ** .

received , I was about taking the prisoner into custody when ho pulled out a pistol from his jacket pocket , and said , " Stand off for your life ; ono step , and I'll fire , " at the same time presenting thc pistol at me . I rushed at him , and afc about one yard , or a yard and a half , ho pulled thc trigger , and tho powder flashed in the pan and missed " fire . I threw the prisoner down . —This evidence having been eorro _borated , by two witnesses who were present at tlie affair , Sir Peter Laurie said lie would commit thc prisoner for sending the threaten ing letters , and also for attempting to take the life of the policeman . —Mr . Lovell : Ho * presented a pistol nt 1110 on Friday last , and used threats . —Tlio prisoner was then remanded for the purpose of having the depositions made out ,

to tho abstraction of tlie property , but he disclaimed all knowledge of it , and told her that if she suspected him to hc a thief she had better send for a policeman .
