' ... g = g"Sgg _ . _^___ w ^ m Masxisg was then requested to stand up on a oponthe side of the dock in a careless attitude Ms oS Xn nn « l V ^ lo ° kc ( 1 mUeh S , f fu ^ ksfc occasion * " <* he was &A i ? ba ( 1 On a kind of *«*• Woe Paletot , buttoned closely up to the chin , and a piuk siik kerchief roundels neck , which was tied ma flash tasnion . It may , perhaps , he mentioned that his countenance has altogether a repulsive appearance , aid that his neck is very short , and so thick that , looking at it from hehind . it seems to project out almost as far as any part of the head . Mrs . Mannin g was roqsestedalso to stand up on a chair , hut 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 , previous to the examination commencing , VfithMr . KeeneandMr . 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 her countenance , and it afterwards looked pale . Mr . Bodkin having briefly adverted to the horrid nature of the crime with which the prisoners were charged , stated that , in addition to the evidence taken before the coroner ' s inquisition , he was in a condition to bring forward something of an important nature , which had not already transpired . He had placed the legal advisers of the prisoners in possession of all the new facts which would be disposed to , and he had also afforded them every information which was necessary to conduct the defence .
H . Barxes was the first witness examined by Mr . Bodkin . He said he w ^ s a police-officer in the K division , 256 . On the 15 th of August he went with another officer to 3 , Minver-place . Found the house empty . Obtained an entrance , and went to the back kitchen . Noticed a peculiarity—a damp mark—between two ot 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 legswere tied behind the thighs . The body was buried in Black-lime . Mr . Lockwood , the doctor , who was called in , took a set of false teeth from the body . Soon after he was joined by Mr . Oddling , surgeon of the police office . Mr . Flynn saw the body before it was removed into the fron t kitchen . An inquest Lid been 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 Hemmmg ' s-place , Mile-end .
James Burton , police-constable , corroborated his former evidence with respect to the inquiries after Mr . O'Connor , and the finding of the body in conjunction with thelast witness . Some trunks , carpetbags , 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 of his evidence before he gave it . He did se the day following the finding of the body . He could not say where he did so , or who was present . Had a good memory , nevertheless he could not recollect where he made the memorandum . It was , he believed , among his papers at home . — Mr . Binns said the witness should go and fetch
it . —The Magistrate said , if his opinion was asked , it -was mmecessary . —By Mr . Solomons : Did not find a broken shovel . Had not had any communication whatever with the other witnesses . Mr . Lockwood , the surgeon referred to , spoke to being called in to 3 , Minver-place , on the finding of the 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 been inflicted by a blant instrument . Be 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 . Slow , the coroner ' s summoning officer , produced the teeth taken from the mouth of the deceased . Mr . Odduxg was here called for , but 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-posseaon ) , Mr . Walsh , was called , and deposed to calling at the house in Minver-place several times
to inquire after the deceased , who had been missing some days . He knew him well . Last saw him at about twelve o ' clock on the night of the Sth of August . The deceased was very friendly with the Mannings . —By Mr . Solomons : On the evening the witness accompanied O ' Connor to the house he was sober . He fainted in the course of the evening , which appeared ' to arise from smoking , and " from the drink he had taken during the day . He did not think there were any money transactions between the deceased and the Mannings . On the evening in question Mrs Manning spoke about the receipt of some money by Mr . O'Connor , and asked him if he intended
to proceed against some person for the three weeks owing . __ Mr . Oddlixg , surgeon to the Bermondsey police lorce , deposed to having seen the body of the deceased on the 17 th ult . at 3 , Minvcr-place , shortly after it had been excavated , and to havin" - examiued it . He then stated that he discovered no Ie 33 than eighteen wounds on ihe head , and saw the ball extracted from the forehead , but could not trace the hole through which it had entered . The blows he said had been committed with great viohnce , and were sufficient to cause instantaneous death . There was a place at the beck of the head which had the appearance of discharged gunpowder . —This witness was not cross-examined
- Mi- Keatisg , Custom-house officer , in the Examiner s office , was next examined , and spoke to having seen the deceased last on the Oth of August , on Lomton-bridge , at about a quarter to five o ' clock , when witness was accompanied by Mr . Graham , another Custom-house officer . He than repeated his evlltnce with respect to O'Connor showin" him a letter signed "Maria , " and to his saying that he was going to dine wiih her . O ' Connor was at the time wlkiugtotbe Surrey side of the bridge . Witness had frequently seen tks female prisoner in the company of O'Connor . On calling at 3 , Minverplace , on the Sunday following the disappearance of the deceased , he sa ' w Mrs . Manning , and she admitted that she had been to O'Connor ' s lodgings on
the Friday , but said that she had gone there for the purpose of teeing what liad becomeof him , as shehad invited him to come to dinner on Thursday , and that lifer husband thought it very ungentlemanly of him tbat he did not make his appearance . She said her busba-d h id gone to church , and that he wo . ihl not be home at six , as they were going out ; o tea . lie noticed that she appeared slightly nervous at the time . —Cross-examined by Mr . Binns : I have , to the best of my belief , seen a letter besides the one shown to me on London-bridge , signed " Maria , " inviting Mr- O'Conuor to dinner . The landlady of the de ed
ceasshowed me me ; I won ' t swear that I saw tue signature , but it was in the same handwriting . The landlady said it had been received on the Wednesday . I have seen many of Mrs . Manning s letters —By Mr . Solomons : I have seen Mrs . Manning m the company of O'Connor many times . I have altogether seen them together over five years , sometimes walking together , and sometimes at the deceased ' s lodgings . 1 have seen her halfa-dozen times at his lodgings without her husband , and about three time 3 in company with her husbmd . They appeared friendly together . I do not know of any transactions between them .
Mr . Wm . Fltjtx , also an officer in Ihe Customs , said the deceased was a relative of his , and that he bad known him for nine years . He was a second cousin , He was shown a body at 3 , Minver-place , on the 17 th of # ugust , upon which an inquisition was holriingat the time , and it was that of Patrick O ' Connor , lie had not the slightest doubt about it being the body of that person . The witness stated , whet * he called at Minver-place to ask for O'Connor , Mm . Manning looked pale and rather flurried . —Crossexamined by Mr . Binns : I knew that the deceised had f ilss teeth , because I have seen , him without them at bis lodgings , at his office , and at my own house . I saw him last two months before his death . I observed t » y accident that he had false teeth . He did not tell me that he had them . I made no observation to him upon making the discovery .
Axxe Armes , Mr . O'Connor ' s landlady , wns the next witness . On being asked if she knew Manning , she said she did not recollect him . Site used to visit Mr . O'Connor frequently alone ; sometimes Manning came with . her . iler sister usually opened the door . She was on friendly terms , and sa was the person who came with her , whom she understood to be her husband . She deposed to Mrs . Manning coming to the deceased ' s lodgings and taking away the prop rty deposed to have been stolen . Mr . Bi . v . vs said there was no evidence to show that the male prisoner had ever called at the lodgings of the deceased . The identity was not made out , Mr . Bodkin said he could prove it by the sister of fhelast witness .

On her oath she did not believe that they were on terms of the closest intimacy . Emily Armes was re-called . -RecolIected Mrs . Manning being at her sister ' s on the Friday before Mr 0 Connor s death . The cash-box was on the table . Mrs . Manning said sho should like to buy some railway shares . He said , "You had better buy so and so She could not recollect the name of the line Recollected 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 the boy out at that time . She asked if Mr .
O'Connor was in . She said he was not . She went out through tne 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 w C £ ? . e freo - ueI % t 0 Mr- O'Connor ' s lodgings . Mr . 0 Connor was showing her some railway shares 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 were on friendly terms . She had often taken tea "with 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 went into the bed-room , because she used to push up the window and water the flowers .
Mr . Wiimam Massey , the medical student who lodged in Manning ' s bouse , was then called and sworn . He repeated his evidence as to the conversation wiih Manning , when he asked him what drug would produre stupefaction or partial intoxication , in order to induce a person to put his hand to a promissory note for £ 500 , and also as ti other conversations both with the male and female prisoner . His ( witness's ) reply to the question whether laudanum or chloroform would produce stupefaction was , that he b-dieved tho * e drugs had been used for bad purposes . On another occasion Manning asked which was the most dangerous part of the head to hit ? and he replied , under the ear ; and aUo , when he was talking about Rush , whether he thou- 'ht a murderer would go to heaven ? Manning observed , at the same time , that he thought he would goto Madame Tassau-i s and see the figure of that murderer . Another
question was asked about the noise made by an air-gun . Witness thought that these questions were asked with the view of getting him to become a party to their acts . —Cross-examined by Mr . Brans : I wrote two or three letters to O'Connor , by the direction of the Mannings , inviting him to dinner . I do rot know when the first letter was written . ; the second , I think , was written in the middle 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 , bnt I think he 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 lest letter to O'Connor very nearly a fortnight before then . To the best of my recollection , it might 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 ; he claimed £ 13 , and I found that lie afterwards sent a bill into the country for £ 15 . —Re-examined : I once had a quarrel with him in the nresence of some medical students about a bet . We left on tolerable terms . I lodgrd with the prisoners altogether nine or ten weeks . Mr . Colemas , the owner of 3 , Miaver-place , gave a repetition of his former evidence . At the conclusion of his examination , Mr . Bodkin said he understood it was the intention of one of the legal advisers of the prisoners to apply for the postponement of their trial at the Old Bailey until the session after next . He ( Mr . Bodkin ) would be prepared to state to-morrow ( Friday ) morning whether he could consent to the application on the part of the Crown .
Mr . Solomons said his client ( Mrs . Manning ) desired him to state that she wished the 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 the further hearing of the evidence until twelve o ' clock to-morrow ( Friday ) , when Mr Bodkin will give a replv .
The court was nearly cleared before the prisoners were removed from the dock . Manning did not once move from the position ho first took on the side of the dock , and he only spoke once to his solicitor during the examination , to which he gave great attention . He looked pale , but appeared quite at h ; s case . Mrs . Manning , on the contrary , several times turned round in the course of the evidence , and consulted with Mr . Solomons . Towards the close of the proceedings she looked very fatigued ., More than once she was noticed to turn slightly round and give a . searching glance intohe / husband s face , but when he observed her he hung down his head .

MARLBOROUGn - STREET . Chakob op Cruelty to a Doo .-Mr . Henry Winder , a Bilk mercer residing at No . 29 , Oxford-street , was charged with having wontonly ill-treated a dog . — " - John Bond stated that he was a physician , and resided at No . 15 , Grafton-street , Fitzroy-square On the previous afternoon about half-past five , ho was passing by the Boar and Castle , in Oxfordstreet , when his attention vraa attracted to a crowd ot 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 the smaller dog away . The latter ran up tho street followed by the larger dog , and when near the defendant ' s shop tried to run in for protection . Not succeeding ft
ran round the corner and jumped up at ono of the windows , the glass of which was cracked . The dofendant then came out of his shop with a Ion ? polo m his hand , and struck tho dog m a most wanton 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 the dog by the skin of its back , threw it with groat force into the road . The dog struck a man who was passing on the chest , and havin" recovered its legs , again ran to defender ' 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 , begeed of defendant to kill it outright . He said / in replv with an oath , " I shall do as I like . " Witness then at the earnest solicitations of several centlemen who
nad witnessed the transaction , sent for a constablo and gave him m 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 , who proved that the defendent s conduct towards the dog was wanton and cruel m the extreme . —Tho accused , in defence said he was in his shop on Tuesday afternoon , when no saw the dog , which appeared to bo in a rabid state , enter his shop . He immediately seized a polo used in lighting the gas , and drove the dog out His wife , who was in the shop at the time , became much alarmed , and as she had only recently recovered from a severe nervous attack , lie was afraid it would
cause a relnpso . The do . " then ran round the corner mto Perry' s-plaee , and tried to jump through tho window . Not succeeding the animal , which was foaming at the mouth , then came to the shop-door again , and he being much alarmed for the safety of his household laid hold of the do " and threw it into the street . In doin » so the dog bit him on the back of his ri g ht hand . Thc animal subsequently came back again , and in tho an-ony of pam he certainly did strike it with tho poll , in order to kill it outright . In support of this statement ho called three gentlemen who had witnessed the whole transaction , all 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 was foaming at the mouth , and betrayed every symptom of being iu a rabid state , and that defendant had only acted as lie had done to secure his and his family ' s safety . —Dr . Richardson , 36 , Bedford-square , said , after defendant had been to the station , he came to his house in a state of considerable excitement , and , opening his hand , said he had been bitten by a mud dog . On looking at his hand he found a punctured wound just as would bo caused by tho bite of a dog , and as it appeared highly inflamed he at once cauterized it . Dr Richardson added that he would not answer for the consequences , neiihcr would ho have such a hand for £ 500 . —Mr . Havdwick said defendant was acting at the time he struck thc doer under the most
awful impression regarding the consequences arising from the bite of a dog which , from its having boon previously cruelly tortured , might havo been m a rabid state . Such a state of mind no doubt totally unnerved him , nnd undcv these circumstances ho did not think defendant had wontonly and crually tortured or ill-treated the dog . He should , therefore , dismiss the case ; but he must say that the complainant and tho other gentlemen had acted perfectly right in bringing i \\* case before him . Capture op as Escaped Buiioun . —John Teal , 1 } note < l burglar , who recently escaped from the Middlesex Hospital , where he had been confined in consequence of a serious accident which he sustained in attempting to escape from tho police iuuus
< a lortnight ago , was brought up in custody having been re-taken by the police on Tuesday morning last . The prisoner was detected with a companion on tho top of some houses in Arcyhstreet . The prisoner made his way over thelops of the houses and into a house , from thc first floor of which he leaped , and seriously injured the bones of one of his foot . His companion fell from the roof of a house and was killed on tho spot . The prisoner , it appeared , contrived to elude the vigilance of the constable who had charge of him in the hospital , and secreted himself for several days with success . Pelice Inspector Whall and police-sergeant Gray obtained a clue to his hiding-place in Corbet-place , Brick-lane ; and making their wav
into the house by the hack premises , in order to avoid au attack from a large and ferocious bull-do < r kept in the passage , they took the prisoner as he was lying m bed , playing a game of cards with one ct his companions . —The prisoner was remanded till Saturday , and removed for the present , to tho iutirmary . ¦ .

CLERKENWELL . —Inheceni Assault . —A respectable-looking middle-aged man , who gave his name George Harrison , but whose real name was subsequently discovered to be George William Dovlinff . was placed at the bar , before Mr . Combo ,
charged by Mrs . Amelia Hodge , a respectable married young woman , residing with , her husband at No . 2 , Victoria-place , Pentonville , with having indecently and violently assaulted her . —The prosecutrix deposed that her husband was ill and confined to his bed . On Sunday morning , about half-past one o ' clock , she had been with some of her friends at Hoxton , and was returning home along the Cityroad , when the prisoner asked her the way to Henry-street . She said she did not know . He followed her as far as the gates at the New River , leading to Duncan-terrace , when he seized her hy the wrists , and dragging her violently through tho gates , he conducted himself towards her in a most violent and indecent manner . She called for
assistance , when he called her a vile name , and she released herself from him . Sho was greatly terrified , and proceeded towards the Angel Tavern , Islington , where the prisoner was given into the custody of Harris , 112 N , who took him to the station-house , where he refused to give his name and address , and he was locked up . —By the prisoner : I did not willingly walk with you ; you dragged me violently . You dared mo to give you into custody . You exposed jouvself to me . —Harris , 112 N , confirmed the prosecutrix ' s evidence , and added other facts which left no doubt as to the prisoner ' s disgraceful conduct , and he was confirmed by other ofiicer 3 who spoke as to his conduct when in the station-house . —Mr . Combe asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge ?—Prisoner : I deny it altogether . She walked with me some distance , and wantod
money of me . —Mr . Combe : Why did yon refuse to give your name and address at the station-house ? —Prisoner : I had my motive in doing so . I confess now that Harrison is not my name , but I can satisfy you of my respectability ; and he handed to Mr . Combe some documents showing that he was entitled to a yearly income . He hoped that by giving a wrong name his case would be prejudiced . —Mr . Combe inquired if the woman was respectable ?—Harris said that he had made inquiries , and ascertained that she was a highly-respectable married woman . —Mr . Combo : Can you send for anybody to speak as to your character ? Tho prisoner said he would decline doing so . —Mr . Combo : Then you are committed to the House of Correction as a rogue and a vagabond , under the Vagrant Act , for two months with hard labour .
Charge op Robbery . —Margaret Batchelor , described in the police-sheet as a gentlewoman ( married ) , of Breckham-green , near Reigate , Surrey , was charged by Mr . E . T . Jobbins , watchmaker , and also carrying on the business of a baker , at No . 15 , Charles-street , Hatton-garden , with having robbed him extensively . —The prisoner W . 13 a woman of considerable property , and was living with her husband on their freehold estate at Breckham-green . She was on the most intimate terms with the prosecutor's family , and not tho slightest suspicion was ever entertained that she ( defendant ) would be guilty of plundering them . At intervals during the last ten years past property had been missed from the till , &c ., to the amount of several
hundred povrads , and on some occasions , in consequence of the losses of the prosecutor , he was unable to meet the demands of the miller and malster . Suspicion at length fell on the prisoner ; and a quantity of marked money having been placed in tne till , the greater portion was proved to have been abstracted by her . —Mr . Trotter , a gentleman related to the parties , said the prisoner was connected with parties of respectability . Her father held a situation of the greatest responsibility in the Court of King ' s Bench for many years , until he became superanuated , when he was pensioned ; and her brother was connected with the Common Pleas . —Mr . Combe remanded the prisoner for a week .
GUILDHALL . —Intra Mubal Interments . —Two inhabitants residing in London-wall entered the couvt , awl intho imuat oithe business addressed Sir Peter Laurie in an agitated manner , and wished for his interference to cause thc 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 the coffin had been brought there and laid upon tho ground with the hd off , there being no grave in the churchyard at the time , and it being understood that it had been removed to that place by order of the coroner of London , merely that it might be viewed by the gentlemen composing the coroner ' s jury . One of the inhabitants said one of his children was now ill and
ho did not know how it might aggravate the disease —Sir Peter Laurie said tho people ' s mind was fed by the newspapers with accounts of cholera . He should order Roc , tho officer of the court , to go and see tho churchyard , and report as to the facts stated . —On tho return of Roe ho said that from tho 1 st and 2 nd floors of the houses close to tho churchyard thc coffin could be seen as described , but it could not from the pathway in the street , in consequence of there being a very high wall . The lid was ' off , and he certainly thought that instead of exposing it m tho churchyard it might have been taken into the church . —Mr . M'Lellan , one of the churchwardens said that application had boon made to-him to allow the body to bo placed in the churchyard , but he
positively retusou ; but having occasion to go out on busiuess he handed the keys and communicated his views to his brother churchwarden . Durinn- his absence the ward beadle repeated thc application , in such a way that tho churchwarden felt bound to obey the coroner , and gave up tho keys . —Sir Peter Laurie asked why an inquest was being held on the body . —Mr . M'Lellan explained that in going round to inquire from house to house as to the health of the parish , he found a woman was dead whose sickness he had not heard anything of . Finding the shutters were not open as usual on Sunday some children had pulled them open , and scon the bodv As it was known her husband was entitled to £ 16 from his club , tho neighbours were greatly excited suspecting the poor woman might have been mur dered . As this information was being given to him the man walked up the court with a pipe in his mouth , as unconcerned as if nothing had happened . —Sir Peter Laurie then said ho had no doubt this
was a proper caso for inquiry , and observed that with respect to those house to house visitations they dul more harm than good , as they continually reminded thc tenants of the pestilence that was going abroad ; and whatever trifling indisposition befet them , they were frightened that it might be tins cholera . —Mr . M'Lellan said thc inquisition was then assembled . The jury had viewed the body in the open yard , being afriad to enter tho room where the death had occurred . —Sir Peter Laurie said he did not see that he could interfere with the covoner to any purpose as tho inquest would soon be over and the body removed , but ho should like thechuvchwavdon to assure him that such was thc foot as soon as the iury gavo their verdict . —In about half-anhouv afterwards Mr . M'Lellim returned to say that tho jury had given a verdict of death by cholera , nnd that the body had been instantly removed to the boldon-lano burial-ground to remain until a grave could be dug . *

She remained there along with the prisoner for upwards of two hours , and on rising to leave at tho expiration of that period sho discovered that her gold watch and chain , to which two costly seals were attached , and which was suspended from her neck at the timo she entered the room , had disappeared . She immediately charged the prisoner with having been privy to the abstraction of the property , but he disclaimed allkriowledgo of it , and told her that if she suspected him to be a thief she had better send for a policeman . On proceeding dowa stairs she communicated her loss to the landlady of the house , and the latter having also advised her to send for the
police , she called in a constable who was passing and gave the prisoner into custody . —In answer to questions from the magistrate , —The complainant said that she was perfectly sober at the time , but admitted that she had sent out for some wine , which she paid for with a half sovereign , and having partaken of a portion of it with the prisoner , she dozed off to sleep , and found that she had been robbed soon after she awoke . —Mr .

He immediately searched tho prisoner , and also the anattavent & vihich . tUft robbery was said to have been committed , but without being able to discover the missing property . The comp lainant , however , insisted upon pressing the charge , but stated on her way to the station-house that she had herself taken the watch and chain from her neck , and placed them upon the table shortly before
she missed them . —In answer to the charge the prisoner earnestly protested his innocence , and said that if was impossible he could have committed the robbery , as the property was not forthcoming , and he did not leave the place for a moment until he was given into custody . —Mv . Tyrwhitt said , that he did not feel himself justified in committing the prisoner upon the unsuported testimony of the complainant ; and he should therefore order him to bo discharged : but if she was not satisfied with his decision , she was at liberty to carry tho case to the sessions . —The complainant said that she was not actuated by any vindictive feelings against the accused , but felt satisfied that ho had taken her watch , and she considered that it was a most cruel robbery . —Mr .

From the movements of the girl her suspicions became excited , and at the corner of Bridge-street and Parliament-street sho put her hand into her pocket and missed her purse , which contained the above amount , bub she did not say anything about her loss until she arrived at tho police-station in the Brixton-road . when sho told
the conductor that sho had been robbed . The vehicle was in consequence stopped , and the prisoners were taken into tho station-house and carefully searched , but neither the purse nor the money was found upon them . The youngest having been recognised as an expert thief , both were locked up . —In reply to the questions of tho magistrate , the prosecutrix said that soon after she missed her purse a man got out of the omnibus , who sho since suspected to be a confederate of tho prisoners . The youngest prisoner was recognised as having been charged at this court with having plundered several females during the services at tho Catholic church , St . George ' s-fields , on which occasion sho had hern sentenced to two months' imprisonment . Both tho
prisoners stoutly denied the charge . —The Magistrate observed . that though there could be but little moral doubfc of the prisoners' guilt , yet , as the evidence was not sufficiently strong to justify their detention , he should discharge them with a caution as to their future conduct .

" In thc course of the morning Mrs . Manning was made acquainted with the capture of her husband at Jersey , and that Wa arrival . vashourly expected . On receiving the unwelcome intelligence she turned pale , and a slight tremor was perceptible , but these symytoms only lasted for a few seconds , and she became as cool and as calm as if she was really innocent . "When informed that Manning had charged her with firing the pistol she said it was false , for she knew nothing of the murder—that she was quite innocent of everything connected with it . The authorities of the prison state that the prisoner the most
possesses extraordinary nerve they ever witnessed . Sho eats her meals heartily and retires to bed about eleven o ' clock at night ; and her sleep remains unbroken until about eight o ' clock in the morning . She makes no allusion to the murder , nor has the name of O Connor or that of her husband once escaped her lips . From some circumstances which have transpired , the police are of opinion that a third party is mixed up in the murder ; and on Thursday , Mr . Massey was questioned in reference to a Frenchman . He informed the police that he had often heard Mrs Manning speak of , hut that he never saw the person ; and this opinion is confirmed by a letter beiii " found , written by her , directed to the British Hotef , Boulogne , the contents of which hare not been allowed to transpire .
The circumstance of Manning ' s flight from London , on the loth nit ., have been stated as follows : — " It appears that , on leaving Bainbridge the furniture broker , he got into a cab , which conveyed him by back streets and a circuitous route to the South-Western Railway . There all trace of him disappears , and he is not again heard of till on board a steamer bound for the Channel Islands where a young woman , to whom his person was known , recognised him . She had not then heard of the murder , the news of which only reached'her after landing in Guernsey . When she became aware ofwhathadhappencd . sheimmediatel y communicated with the governor of the island , who , in his turn forwarded the information to the Home-office . In
the meantime , Langley , an officer had been despatched along the South Western line to follow up the clue supplied by the cabman . When the police authorities heard that Manning had been reob- ' - riised on board the steamer to the Channel Islands they despatched Langley thitherin quest of him — Soon after landing at Jersey , the officer found the murderer ' s box in a lodging-house , where he had slept for two nights after landing , and which he had left , with a carpet-baa m the company of another male lodger Some papers found in the breast pocket of a coat which was among thc contents of thc box , clearly established the fact that the property belonged to Mannmg . But the question then arose , what had become of him since ? At length a gentleman saw two of whom
men , one carried a carpet-bag , at St Malo , endeavouring to strike a bargain with a boatl man te carry them over to Guernsey . He wished himself to . go there , and thinking that the persons m question , might be disposed to share the expence with him , he went up and addressed them On asking themif they wisheS to cross Guernsey , he was answered in a verv surl v inannwttattliCTdidiw ^ aiid he lefttlMMnVshH after the remarkable resemblance of one of them to the description of Manning struck him , and he commumcated the fact to the proper authorities TMs confirmed the suspicion that Manning wai rtiU in ( From our Third Edition of last weehl
