Horrible Murder And Suicide. On Tuesday ...
HORRIBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE . On Tuesday evening , between the hours of four and five , a most fearful tragedy was enacted in Hickman ' s Folly , B _2 rdmondsey , by which the whole neighbourhood has been thrown into a state of painfol excitement . It appears that a cooper named Griffin resided with his wife and family * at So . O in the Folly . For soum time past a daughter of Griffia ' s . named Matilda , had been corresponding with a , person named Henry Parker , wbo lodged in the same house . During the past few days Parker had appeared jealous of some other attachment , and said more than once that rather than any one else should gain her affections he would kill her and himself .
In tha afternoon the people living in the place Vfero alarmed by hearing screams from the upper par t of the house . A Mr Cramer hastened np stairs _andniet Mr ( _Wffin _' _-i little boy , who was crying out , "My sister ia killed ! " and on going into the back attic discovered upon the fl 3 or the bodies of Matilda GnSn and Henry Parker torered with blood , whieh was still issuing from their throats . Mr Cremer immediately ran out to obtain medical assistance . In the space of a few minutes Mr _Jtfartin _, surgeon , of Bermondsey , arrived , and he at once pronounced life in both cases extinet . A razor covered withblood was found lying by . the side of Parker , with which tte deed had been _accomp'ished . There can be no doubt but that the man first cut the woman ' s throat , and afterwards added to his crimft that of suicide
_Sup : rintendent Evans and several policemen _immeuruuely repaired to the place , and it was with the greatest dif . iculty lhat the crowd , _numbering several Hundred persons , could be kept from filling the house . The police , _veryjndiciously , would notallow any one unconnected with the family to enter . Tbe _yonngman accused of committing the dreadful deed was in the linen-drapery line , but his place ot business could not b _; ascertained . The two _badies have been taken in charge by Mr Slow , the coroner ' s ofliccr , who will keep possession of them until after the inquest .
FcaxHwi P . aYRTic \ -L » 3 S . —A sensation , whic * h it is LnpnssiKe to _descrite , has been created since the perpetration of the above deed . Wednesday so treat -was the crowd , tbat tbe police were obliged to be kepi on duty . The parents ofthe unfortunate young -woman are in a state of heartrending distress ; and the father is obliged to be watched , as be has several times since attempted to destroy himself . From _inqairies made , it appeared that "Matilda Griffin and Uei . rr Parker had been keeping company together for 13 months or two years . On Monday night , the female went ont with a male acquaintance ti some place of entertainment without Parker , _irho , on hear _ing o- it , threatened to do something de s peratc .
On Tuesday , about half-past four , the girl was sent by her-mother up stairs to make the bed , at the same time telling her , in the event of Parker coming in , to leave the rocm , ss she did not like his manner tbat day . She went , and it is presumed , that whilst she was kneeling down , making the 6 ed . Parker entered the room _uu'ibsei ved , and that be then _infiieted thc fatal wound . Upon examining the neck of Parker , there are three gashes in the throat , one of _whteh is very extensive .

" _¦"¦ _qi _MUHKlalH " , Thrse Hobses _Kilujd . —An unlucky accident has occurred at a ballast-hole , near the bridge where the Burton road crosses the railwav . A number of hopes are required to draw the waggons from this hole up the incline to & sliding . whence the waggons are fetched by an engine , and the horses then _returt to be ready to draw np other waggons . By a mistake of » boy in turning the points , __ Je _raggCM , instead algous , ;* , _uito the _slid . ngs , rushed down the inolint _asain with fearful velocity npon three of tbe horses ( the property of the contractors ) , and destroyed every oneof the animals . Two were killed ou _thosprt , and three legs of one hone were actually cut off by the waggons .
LASCASHIRE . Asothsb . _Colmkut Explosion . —Two lives were _sacrificed again on Friday evening , by another _explosion of Sulphur , in Aberdeen Pit , near Adlington , and _aiily a few miles distant from tke Kirkless Halt colliery . Tho Brinks pit had been stopped in consequence of its having been flooded , but last week the water having been pumped out , an attempt was made to work again . The colliers , however , reported that the sulphur was present in the workings and _facings to such an extent as to render it impracticable , and on Friday the underlooker turned a _strea-n of water .
which came from an upcast shaft down this , which is a downcast shaft , to dislodge the sulphur .. It had thc desired effect , but part ofthe dislodged sulphur warforced into tbe workings of _tte Aberdeen pit ( the workings of both pits being connected ) , where the colliers were in the habit of getting coal with the H _*» lced candles . In thia state of things , two _toUieta , John and Elijah Rutter ( father and son ) , were going to work at 1 o ' clock on Friday evening , with naked candles in their hands , came in contact with the sulphur , an explosion ensued , and they were killed . It would seem to lie unsafe to allow colliers to work wiihout « afety lamns nnder anv circumstances .
_BUBBTSniRE . _JB _akbmioijs _MmuiER suae Harewood . —A most diabolical murder was committed at Weeton , near ITarewood , on Monday week , by a man named Francis Britton , bis victim being his ownoliild , a little girl about three years old , named Maria Britton . It appears the murderer had been in confinement as a lunatic for some weeks , and on Saturday evening he returned home . On the following morning a person named Bright , who lodged in the house , and slept np stairs , beard a heavy tread in the room below , occupied by Britton , bis wife , and child . Shortly after , Bright heard a heavy stroke , and a
moan ,- he immediately went down stairs , when he saw Britton bit tbe child three times with tbe poker He held tho poker in both bis hands , and hit the deceased on the forehead as she lay in bed . Bright immediately seized Britton . and handed him orer to the custody of the constables . The poor child' s hfe & o was awfully mangled , and blood and brains were scattered on the floor and walls of the cottage . It appeared the wretch had taken the opportunity of committing the dreadful act during the temporary absence ef his wife . An _inquest has been held before Mr Lee . coroner , when a verdict of " Wilful murder against Francis Britton" wa 3 returned .
The _Chbstbrfibud Murder — ArPBBHENflnw _, oj Mit R . Statham . —Thc town of Chesterfield has again been thrown into a state of excitement by the apprehension of Mr ft . Statham , a master butcher , charged with _aiding and abetting in the murder of George Collis . A fortnight ago Anthony Launt , a butcher , was apprehended on the same charge . Evidence has now been given against Mr Statham ( who found the money , and evinced great interest in the defence ofPlatts , executed as oneof the murderers of Collis ) . A witness swears to seeim- Mr Statham ia the yard at the back r . f Morley ' _s shop , and to certain conversations ; _assl -g between him and Marley , at tho time Platts and Collis were in the shop , and immediately afterthe " scuffle " and " blow" were heard , and the shop _ doors _banned to . He also swears to Staham removing his dog from the yard into the house , and to
seeing him looking thromih a pane o glass into the shop . In fact , if the evidence bz correct , it would seem that Statham was in reality an aider and abettor of the murder . He was taken into custody on Monday . When the warrant was read over to him in his shop , he made no reply , but accompanied the policeman to prison . Ue was on Tuesday taken before the magistrate , when tho witness ? 8 examined at Platts' trial were _a-jain examined and the new evidence adduced . At tbe close the mayor said the bench felt bound to commit tbe prisoner to take his trial at the next assizes . An attorney , who appeared forthe prisoner , asked the magistrates to take bail , but they peremptorily refused to doso , " unless compelled by a judge . " Statham said the evidence . as regarded himself ) was false , and that it was " a hard cafe . " He was taken to the county gaol , at Derby , and both he and Launt will be arraigned at the
ensug
_KOTIINGnAMSniKB . _ Attempted Murder of a Wife —Great consternation has been created in consequence of a man named Jacob Parrott having attempted to cut the throat of his wife , in a bye Jane near _Snent-m church . The circumstances of the case were stated by the prisoner when token to the lock-up . P nnott has been married about four years , two years of which period he and his wife lired together in Nottingham , as comfortably as could be desired . At the end ol that time she absconded with another man . The prisoner ultimately went to Manchester , where he learned tbat his wife had been living at a house of ill-repute : that she had been obtaining _clothe nnder false pretences ; and that , after other misconduct , she had made her
escape unobserved . Parrott was so exasperated , that he returned to Nottingham , with the _determinatio _* - of murdering his wife . He slept with her on Thursday night , and on the following morning they went out together , and were oat during the whole of the day , except for a short time whilst they were getting something to drink at two or three public-bouses , which they visited for that purpose . _Ab-iut f o'clock the- * walked down the lane at the back of _Sneuton church , and sat down together . While seated the prisoner took out a razor , and drew it across his wife ' s throat . She then asked him to forgive her , aud he
dropped the weapon in her hand , and went to procare assistance and to give himself into custody . The first person he met was an old man , whom he told what he had done , and requested to be taken prisoner ; but the man would have nothing to do with him . The prisoner walked ou and met many ether people , to whom he related what had occurred ; bat it was not till after a great crowd had collected that he was taken into custody and conveyed to the county lock-up . The woman was conveyed to the General Hospital , and was reported likely to recover . The prisoner was examined before the magistrates , but no new facts were elicited . He was remanded .
NORFOLK . More _Poisohisgs . —On Monday last tho inhabitants of Stokeferry were alarmed by a report that a diabolical attempt had been made on the lives of the family of Mr John Mayes , butcher . On inquiry it was found to be but too true ; for breakfast was barely over before each and all who partook of the tea , of which it chiefly consisted , were taken suddenly and violently sick , with acute burning pains in the throat and stomach . Of these , Mr Mayes was the greatest sufferer , though all were more or less affected . At first it was thought to be something in the tea-pot , bnt on examination by Mr fl . B . Steele , _gnrgeon , arsenic in a large quantity was easily detected in the kettle from which the tea-pot had been supplied ; this kettle Mr Steele immediately secured . Of course prompt and , we hope , effective measures , were resorted to ;
for on inajuiry the whole of the sufferers ( seven in number ) were stated to be better . We regret to add that the effects of this horrid act have been visited on an eighth person , Mrs Tindale , ofthe Crown inn , wbo , cal'ing on her neighbour , Mrs Mayes , _unguardedly swallowed a small quantity of the water from the tea kettle ( tbis was before it was known or even suspected to contain poison ) , and has ever since been in a _suffering , not to say alarming condition . Had she , like the rest , taken enough to cause immediate reaction , sho might possibly have suffered less ; for the ultimate safety of tbe intended victims , if saved they are , may besaid to be owing to the strength of the poison ; and thus the very bane becomes the antidote . Measures are being takon by the police which , it is hoped , will soon afford a clue to the perpetrator of this vile attempt .
BERKSHIRE . _Witosor . —Lamentable Case op Drowning . —On Monday an inquest was held before W . J . _Marlin , Esq . coroner , at the King ' s Arms , Thames-side , on Mr Julius _Jacobsno , ofthe firm of _Jacobson Brothers , merchants , Great St Helen's , _Bishopsgate-street , who was unfortunately drowned while bathing in the _Than-es , a short distance below Windsor-bridge . D ? 11 . Sckerer _, the gentleman who accompanied deceased , _deoosed as follows : —The deceased and I arrived in Windsor on Monday , and shortly afterwards engaged a boy to take us in * a punt to a part of the Thames where there was plenty ofrooni forswiraming . I had no doubt the deceased could swim , as we had been bathing together last _wesk at Richmond . We told the lad we could swim . I lirst plunged into the water
, close to the weir , from off the bank ; the deceased shortly after following me . I soon after , while 1 was standing upon the weir , saw him struggling through the stream , but I heard him utter no cry . I immediately sprang into the water to his assistance , but was unable to reach him for a minute or two , in consequence ofthe rapid nature of the current . I found him sinking and exhausted . I managed to get hold of his shoulder , the whole of his body being under water , but such was his wcHit , and so deep was tho river , thai ; my own _strength failed , and it was with dilBcuityl saved myself stiwl reached the shore , when 1 fell _t'owntVomVxhaiistton . The body was afterwards found in a deep hole , within a few yards whence it sank . Seme other _witueases wore examined . Verdict , "Accidentally drowned while bathing , "

The man went away without making any further remark , but returned again in the afternoon with a ht twsik to

The Wkathek And The Ubps.--1.Ne Latestac...
the _wkathek and the UBps .--1 . ne latestaccounts bring tbe highly gratifying intelligence that the weather has again " taken up . " The heat continues excessive . The reports from all "" Wis of the kingdom continue to describe the crops , including the potato , as luxuriant and fast ripening , giving every promise of an early and abundant harvest . The very heavy rain wbicb had fallen on the 11 th inst . had been productive of great benefit to the crops , particularly oats and turnips , which are very abundant . The critical time for the potato has approached ; bnt all accounts dwell upon the freedom of the crop from disease , and describe the _fieldsasmostluxuriant
in appearance . . ¦ » .,. . Statu of thb _CouHTnr , — -On account of the intcn . 3 o heat , fever ia increasing in B 0 IW _6 localities ; but , owing to the efficient arrangements for the supply of food and the extent of hospital accommodation , the mortality has greatly diminished . This has been adverted to by Mr Justice Torrens , at Longford . Tbe learned judge , after congratulating the grand jury on the lightness of the calendar , made the following gratifying observations on thestate of tbe country : — "Some lime ago it was apprehended by Van Judges tbat aa fe ** er prevailed to a certain
extent throughout Ireland , it would be dangerous to have large numbers of persons assembled at the different assizes throughout Ireland , preferring tbeir claims for damages under this ( the Labour Rate ) Act , some of whom , it was thought , must be more or less affected with that contagious disease , fever , which it was natural to conclude others soattending wonld imbibe ; but he was happy to state that they had received information upon which tbey _OQlildl'ely that fever was greatly on the decrease , so that . they became satisfied that those persons might withsafety attend without the tear of any bad consequences resulting therefrom . "
Importation of _Paupsks from Enound . —At the recent meeting of the Health Committee of Cork , it was announced by the inspector that the first batch of paupers transmitted nnder the new act bad arrived , and that the roaster ofthe vessel told him ** tho majorit" of hia cargo were just come outof all the fever hospitals in Liverpool . " The members of the committee determined to appeal to the citizens of Cork for voluntary contributions to meet the increased demands upon their funds . _Abosbs w the Relief System . —Some very shocking disclosures of abuses in the out-door relief system are given in the following extract from the Galway Mercury-. — " At a meeting ofthe Ardfahan Committee , held on Wednesday , the 23 rd ult ., the
ratepayers attended in a body with a list containing the names of a number of persons who were on the relief lists who had ample means to support themselves and families , and insisted on their names being strackoff , as they would not suffer themselves to be robbed . Major Burns , G . I . O ., immediately insisted on a scrutiny , whieh ended in striking off avast number—an example whicii should be held Up to other committees as praiseworthy oonduot . Can it be true that coachmen in the employment of gentlemen , gate-keepers , _wood'rangers , and , for all we know , ladies ' maids , are receiving relief ? On thc followiug day a very opposite proceeding took place at Killeenavre committee . No less than four of the members , two ratepayers and two poor-law _guardiiins , clamorously insisted on having gratuitous relief . Major Burns commented on their conduct in tbe m st indignant terms . We have the name 3 ol these
parties , holding each from eighty to one hundred and tlirty acres of land , at a valuation of from £ 50 to £ 80 ; and if * conduct of this kind be persevered in , we must discharge our duty by placing them in the proper light before the public . We can state from good authority that the relief laws are means of getting rid of the poorer cottiers . On one gen tieroan ' s property , not one hundred miles from Kilchreest , a poor family , consisting of tbeman , his wife , and Seven children , were lately ejected , the house tbey lived in pulled down , and ( orders having been issued by tbe relief committees in that neighbourhood not to admit lodgers into tbe houses ) the unfortunate family alluded to were compelled to seek refuge _i ' b an adjoining electoral division in theGort union , where we bear they bave been refused velief . If we mistake not , the affair appeared before the Ardraham committee . "

HOME CIRCUIT _.-Chelmsford , July 13 . Poisoning bt a Wife . —Emma Elizabeth liume , 24 , was indicted for attempting to administer to Thomas Hume , ber husband , a quantity of sugar of lead , with intent to kill and murder him . The prisoner ' s husband was a widower at the time he married the prisoner , and had grown-up children . Prior to April he had been suffering from a liver complaint , and Marchant , wiio lived in the same village , and had the reputation of being able to cure the disorder in question , had made him _some pills . On tho 7 th April the prisoner was observed by her daughter-in-law to be mixing up _soree Hour and water to a thick paste and she then moulded it to the form of two large pills , whicb she placed upon the oven to dry , and when
they were dried she pnt them into a box which contained some ot the pills that had been sent by Marchant * At this time her husband was bedridden , and it appeared that she tried to persuade bim to take some of thc pills she had made . From circumstances that bad previously occurred , he had some suspicions of her _iutentions , and after observing that the pills wero too Jar » e and stron _ r for him , lie refused to take them . The prisoner pressed him to do so and told him tbat Tom Warner had said that they were just the _things for his complaint ; but he persisted in his _refusal . The next day she again pressed him to take the large pills , but lie refused , and it appeared that after this they were handed over to the police . The prosecutor also stated that a short time before this happened , the prisoner had brought him
some _frird potatoes , and he found they had such a nauseous taste that he was obliged to spit out what he had taken ; and _uponanother occasion she brought him some broth , which had the same taste , and he refused to drink it . The prisoner ' s daughter proved ehe saw her mother mix up tbe large pills . She also stated npon the occasion when her mother made the mutton broth , she first put some white powder into a basin , and mixed it up , and then poured the broth into it . When her father refused to drink it , the prisoner told her to throw it away , and directed her to wash the basin and saucepan quite clean . The prisoner said it was not true that she asked her to wash the sancepan ; she did it heiselt .

It was then given in evidence that the two pills referred to were found to contain
264 grains of sugar of lead , and thut , in the state of health of the prosecutor , that quantity would certainly hare caused his death . The prisoner , in her defence , merely denied the chime . Mr Baron Parke , having summed up , thejury , after deliberating for a few minutes , returned a verdict of Guilty . The learned judge , after addressing the prisoner , said he felt it to be his duty to pass upon her the most severe sentence fixed by the law for this offence ; and he , at the same time , observed that be knew of ro other _crimesadreadful thntwas not visited with the punishment , of death _, lie then ordered the prisoner to be transported for tho term of her natural life .

The annual excursion of the Printers' Pension Society took placo to Brighton , and all proceeded well , giving satisfaction to all parties until the return of the train , when near the New Cro * s Station , a collision took place . A Croydon train was but a short distance before the excursion train , and so near that the latter train wasfrequently slackened ; but on _nearin- ; New Cross station , the engino of the excursion train ran with great violence against the _hindermost carriage of the Croydon train . The engine rebounding at the same moment against the long train attached to it , consisting of
about twenty er twenty-four carriages , the _snocic was tremendous . Tiie party was thrown into the utmost alarm . Affer a delay of an hour the train was again set in motion , and on its arrival at the terminus at _London-bridse several persons were conveyed to Guy ' s and" St Thomas's Hospitals , where assistance was rendered . One man had his ribs broken , another his teeth knocked in , and fractures were numerous . The accident is supposed to have arisen from the absence of the red or cautionary light on _^ he last carriage of the Croydon train , which being stationary at New Cross leaving passengers , the engine driver of the following train was not aware th : » t lie was so close npon it .
Fumnzn . _Pabticuubs . —From further inquiries it appears . that a " pick-up train " arrived at the New CrosB station at thirty-lour minutes past nine o ' clock , and a Croydon train was then due . The " pick-up train " was not able to get away in time , and a signal was given to stop the Croydon train ; that hiving been done , the Brighton excursion train came up , when a . coliision took place , by which it appears that some injuries of a serious but not dangerous character have taken place to parties in the first and second class carriages of the Croydon _traini Two gentlemen had their ribs broken , one passenger haB received a severe cut over the eye , and another a wound on the leg , and three ladies more or less hurt , but no
danger is apprehended in any case . Only one of the parties injured was taken to Guy ' s Hospital , and he is doing we ) 1 . The greatest attention was paid to the sufferers , medical aid being immediately obtained , and as scon as possible they were sent to their residences in cab * . Mr Rothwell , jun . a one of the printeis' committee , had five teeth knocked out , and h ' m mouth severely cut . Some f ' _emalis , also in the excursion train , received slight ii jury , but the damage done to the carriage is trifling , A strict investigation into all tbe circumstances of tie case will take place before the directors and of licet j of the company at the New Cross station . Fatal Accident on thk Great Wbsters _Railwat .
—A melancholy accident occurred on Saturday evening at the Reading station , on the arrival of thirdclass trains at the intermediate stations passengers are allowed to be supplied with refreshments at the carriages . Tie deceased , William _Waugh , 18 , was employed as potboy at the Great Western Hotel tap , and was supplying refreshment to one of the _passengers by the up mixed train , which _reaches Reading at ei- _* lit urinates before 6 o ' clock , when , while alighting from the step of one of the carriages he rebounded on a heap of coals just by the side of the line , which « iving way , he slipped en the nearer rail at thevery time the train had started , The poor boy was kept waiting . on the carriage afterthe train had started , owin _** to the delay ofthe passenger in handing thc
money and a glass . Shocking torelate , the wheels paused over several parts of deceased's body , which was dreadfully mutilated . The poor fellow ffiUSt havo been crushed to death instantaneously , without happily any attendant sufferings , for on the immediate removal of the body not the least apparent motion was visible . The body was conveyed to the Railway . Hotel tap , to await nn inquest , wbich has since taken place before the borough coroner , and a verdict . of " Accidental Death " returned . A general feeling was expressed against the practice oi allowing persons to approach so closely to the trains just on their arrival and departure , and even at a time after the _starting signal has been given , when it ought to bt * least permitted .
Bromlbv v . Eastern Coontiks Railway . _—Cojis pk . vsation . —Thin was a writ of inquiry to asses damages in an action to recover compensation for certain injuries sustained by the plaintiff while a _pusseni-er on the defendant ' s line of railway . On the 18 th of J oly last a passenger train on the Eastern Counties Railway was run into when near the Stratford station by another train , and the consequences were the loss of one life , and serious bodily injury to most ofthe passengers . Amongst those hurt were the plaintiff and his wife . ' The wife was seriously bruised , and tlie plaintiff received severe contusions , had a fractured leg , and other hurts , from the effects of which he kept his bed for 24 . weeks , entailing medical and other contingent expenses to the amount of £ 250 . . The plaintiff had carried . oa tho business of a corn factor , merchant , _miltstcr , and brewer , at
Colchester , neat- which town he held a farm of about ISO acres . The whole together realised him an income of about £ 600 a year , but in conscqueuce ofthe injuries he received by the above accident the greater portion was *_ iren up , as the pluintifT could not attend to it , and the profits diminished in proportion . The Attorney-General , for the defendants , said he was instructed by his clients to ask the jury to award full and even liberal compensation ; but , in forming their estimate of the damages to be given to the plaintiff , they must be guided by facts , and not insinuations . The jury found for the plaintiff—Damages £ 050 . BbomI / _EV and Wife v . tub Same .- —In this case a verdict was taken by consent for tbe plaintiffs—Damages £ 150 . It was nn action brought by the plaintiff , jointly with his wife , to recover compensation for injuries sustained by the latter or _» the same

The premises in Leadenhall-street were _thuse in which tbe robberr was committed , and the moment the discovery t _<_ _4 place the pro- _* ecutors employed Haydon and Webb two of the most vigilant officers ofthe city police , ia the woik of detecting the thieves and recovering ' th . stolen goods .
Mr Charles Brown said : I am in partnership with Mr John Brown , and _carryins on business as jewellers , dsc , at 92 , _High-Street , Whitechapel , and also at 110 , Leadenhall-street . Tho male prisoner was shopman to us up to Saturday _nif-ht last , and had all the property in Leadenhall-street , under lmcare . The _atiicles were iery valuable . It was the male prisoner ' s duty to sleep upon the premises every night , and it was his duty every Sunday _ramnitif to bring the keys to u _» , and to come in the ev _e ning for them and return to sleep in the house . De _brousbt the keys as usual last Sunday morning to our house in WhStechapel , but he did not return in the evening . 1 visited the _premise on Mond . ay mornini * at eight
O ' clock , and saw tbat they were locked up according to custom . 1 found my lad at the door , and he sail Mr Daniell had not arrived . I opened the premises , and , as the shop was dark , directed that the shutters should be removed . I then perceived that a number of articles had disappeared , and the tickets _vhici had belonged to them were scattered about tbe place ; and I said to the lad , "I see how itis . " Itben brought in some gentlemen . [ Hero tbc offioer produced several bundles , _containiii- ? Jewellery of vari . ous kinds . ] I can identify the ( . old watch found by one of the officers upon Daniell as our property , and part of that which had been on the premises on Saturday , and had not been accounted for by Daniell .
Mr John Walker said : I went on Monday morning to _Leadenhall-strtet , and found _everything there ia a state of confusion , the property stolen , and tha tickets about the premises , I instantly commenced a course of search , accompanied by Haydon and Webb , the officers . I went with them for the purpose of identifying Daniell . After having ( -one to a variety of places we at last called at 21 . Grove-place , _Lisson-grove , where the officers knocked at the door , and inquired whether Mr Johnson was at home . '' l _es , " said the person who opened tbe door , " walk in . " Upon entering we saw the female _prisoner , and asked her whether Mr Johnson was at home ? She replied in the _negative . I said , unon Inula- * i . „ . "
her , *' Your Dame ia " Daniell . " "' No ,- ' said she , "itis Johnson , and Mr Johnson is out . " I at once recognised a particular book , which was on the table , as Darnell's , and I said , ** That ' s his book " and one of the officers said , "That ' s his hat . " We then searched the next room , and Webb discovered Daniell under the bed , and pulled him out . I said to Daniell , " Sou _scoandrel , where is my property ?" and he replied , " I see it ' s no use—it ' s in that box " pointing toa heavy trunk . The trunk was then opened , and wo found almost all the property which had been stolen in a carpet bag in it , done up in U parcels , and we took an inventory of the property Daniell made no statement , but tho female prisoner inquired of him what it was he said , to which he
