      — g , THE BERMOXDSEY UQEDE& . On Monday another important link to the evil ^ i ? nS t u > r ? » of the house , 2 Jo . fiJSS ? wi . H dtb 0 u « h evei 7 e « rtion has S ^^ w * & S ? S " ^^ P rty they 2 £ m a Hl - ^ Monday , when Burton ^ er con . tumble difficulty ascertained that a younggiri was m the haM of attending several of the Souses in We vicinity for the purpose of washing the steps , and assisting the serrants . He also heard from a neig hbour that she was seen to enter Manning ' s at an early hour on Saturday morning . He accordingly made active inquiriesa . bo . ut her , and succeeded in finding her residing with her relations in Ber-_ _

      mondsey . Her name is Harriet Termer , and she informed the authorities that about nine o ' clock on Saturday morning , the 11 th . of August , Mrs . Manning called her into 2 fo . 3 , Minver-place , and engaged her to clean the house . She cleaned the upper part , and found several spots like blood on the wall of the passage leading to the kitchen , which she endeavoured to wash off . After she had cleaned that portion of the place she proceeded to the back kitchen , and was about to clean it , when Mrs . Manning came up to her and pulled her away , exclaiming , " I cleaned this place yesterday , and it don ' t want scrubbing any more . " The girl says she saw a square basket in the back kitchen , covered with lime , which Mrs . Manning told her to wash . While she was performing that office she found that there was not water sufficient , consequently she left it as

      discovered by Burton . During the time she was in the house that day Mrs . Manning went out two or three times , and about twelve o ' clock at noon Manning came down stairs , and stamped his foot violently as if in a passion , lie called out to his ¦ wi fe , " Give it me directly , " and she went up stairs , and she could not tell what afterwards passed . Manning remained in the house while his wife returned to the back kitchen and fried some beefsteaks for dinner . The girl said that the back kitchen was extremely wet , and the stones in the lack kitchen appeared to have been recently rubbed with a brick or stone . She also found that the dusthole was full of mould , dirt , and some mortar mixed with it- The girl was taken to the Home-office by the police , to make her statement to the solicitor o * f the Treasury . Her evidence will be given on Saturday , the next examination .

      The cholera has suddenly attacked some of the witnesses since the last examination . Mr . Bassett , clerk to Messrs . Eillick and Co ., sharebrokers , Bank-building 3 , to whom Manning disposed of O ' Connor . ' s Eastern Counties shares , was suddenly attacked on Friday ni ght with cholera , and expired on Saturday morning . His corpse was interred on Sunday . Mr . Hammond was also attacked on Sunday , and is not expected to live . Both gentlemen were in good health and spirits on Friday , the 7 th inst ., when at the police court .

      It has been ascertained when O'Connor left his lodgings on the morning of the 9 th of August he had nearly a new suit of clothes on , a valuable watch and chain , and a considerable sum in his possession . Although every search has been made lor the murdered man ' s clothing by the police in the house , 2 fo . 3 , Minver-place , and in the prisoner ' s ooxes , no portion , of . them could \> e discovered . It was clear they had not been burned , as no ashes of linen or cloth were seen among the dirt ,

      consequently the police have made active inquiries among the clothes dealers , and on Tuesday they ascertained that a man fully answering the description of Manning offered several articles of clothing of a superior description for sale to several dealers in Petticoat-lmeon the Monday after the murder . The police are now making very active inquiries about the clothes , and from information received there is every reason to suppose that they will be found , and that the purchaser will come forward and identify . Manning as the party who sold them . EXAMINATION OF MR . AND MRS . MANNING . ( From our Third Edition of last week . ) FRIDAY . The examination of the Mannings was resumed at the Southwark Police-court at eleven o ' clock . The court was not nearl y so crowded as on the previous day . Mr . Bonaix , at the commencement of the proceedings , announced that on the part of the crown he was prepared to accede to the application made on the part of one of the prisoners , to postpone the trLil to the nest October session .

      MIDDLESEX SESSIONS . Tuesdat . —The September general session of the peace for the county of Middlesex commenced yesterday morning at Clerkenwell . There was the average number of prisoners for trial viz ., 80 , including four cases of misdemeanour . On the list of jurors being called over , a number of excuses were made on behalf of persons who had been summoned to attend , but who were unable to do so in consequence of being attacked by the prevailing epidemic . One of the overseers of the poor for the parish of St . Luke ' s was summoned , but on bis mentioning to the court that at the present time his parochial duties were yery onerous , and his time almost entirely occupied , on account of the cholera , the learned chairman directed that his services as juror

      should be dispensed with . Extensive Robbert . —William Johnson , a desperate looking fellow , was indicted for stealing 113 pieces of cotton print , the property of Mr . Hugh Phillips , draper , 61 , Marylebone-lane . — Police Sergeant 7 D , on the 26 th August , was proceeding along one of the streets leading out of Oxford-street , when he met the prisoner carrying a large quantity of cotton print upon his shoulder , and entertaining some suspicion as to the mode in which - he got possession , he asked him where he was going to 1 He replied that he did not know , but that answer did not satisfy the officer , who asked him where ho had got the print from . The prisoner , thereupon , told the usual thief s story—that he had been

      employed to carry it by a man who had promised him sixpence for his trouble . Of course he did not know the man , or who or where he was , nor could he tell where he was to carry it to ; so the officer took him to the station house , where information had already arrived that a quantity of print had been stolen from Mr . Phillips ' , in Marylebone-lane . That circumstance accounted fully for the prisoner ' s possession of tbe property . —The jury found the prisoner " Guilty , ' and the court sentenced him to tbree months' hard labour . Bobber ? op Jewellers . —William Smith , was mdicted for having stolen a gold ring , the property of George William Tyler . —The prosecutor , it ap . peared , was a jeweller carrying on business in

      Hitrhstreet , tamden-town . la front of his shop window there was a glass case , in which were exhibited specimens of his stock in trade ; and in consequence of a number of articles of jewellery havingbeen missed therefrom , he kept a strict watch upon it . On the day named in the indictment he observed the prisoner walk up to the case and knock away a small piece of wood which had been placed over an aperture in the glass , made on the preceding day by somebody who managed to get a couple of rings through it without observation . Tba prisoner then walked on a short distance , and in a few minutes he again appeared at the case , and leaning forward he pretended to be attentively looking at . the articles

      it contained . The prosecutor distinctly observed him take a niece of wire , hooked at the end , out of his jacket sleeve , pass it through the broken square , and pull out a gold ring . The prosecutor jumped across the counter and seized the prisoner as he was walking off , but not before the latter had effectually disposed of the ring , for it had not been found . The prisoner resisted—foug ht , and bit the prosecutor , and succeeded ia twisting himself out of his grasp , but he was again captured , and very shortl y afterwards he was safel y lodged at the police station . The wire was found close by the ^ iT" F isoBerbad nothing to say in his defence , and the jury found him " Guilty . " -Sentenced to three months' hard labour .

      Picking Pockets . —William Flottery and William Jones , both sixteen years of age , and distinguished from tho general mass of youths indicted here for picking pockets , by being described in the calendar as able to read and write , were convicted of attempting to steal a pocket handkerchief from the person of James Pidgeon , on the pier of the halfpenny steam-boats , at Ivy-bridgeJane , Adelphi . The prisoners , as well as the prosecutor , were passengers by the boat from London-bridge pier , and the boys were both seen trying Mr . Pigeon ' s pocket , and one of them drew out the handkerchief and gave it to the other , who immediately concealed it between his legs . Flottery , however , now denied that ne had any participation in the theft , and protested that he had never committed a dishonest act in nis life . Jones said it was his first offence . He did not put his hand into the pocket , but the handkerchief was hanging out—The chairman sentenced them to be imprisoned each six months' and kept to hard labour . r

      Wednesday . —Robbery . —Anthony Bickmore , a stableman , was indicted for having stolen a watch , value £ 8 ., the property of James Branch , from his person . —Mr . Payne appeared for the prosecution ; Mr . rrendergast for the prisoner . —It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor , a baker , residing at No . 9 , Union-street , City-road , and George Blackett , brass finisher , of 31 , Henry-street , Hampstead-road , that on the evening of the 28 th of Aug the former was drinking at the Marquess of Cornwalus , public-bouse , in Warren-street , Fitzroysquare . Thelprisoner was there too , and having got prosecutor into conversation , they tossed for some gin , but the prosecutor , who lost , refused to pav , alleging that lie had no money about him . The

      prisoner , however , insisted upon his paying , as he had ] ust before changed a £ 5 note , and after somerou « h words had passed they came to blows . A reconciliation , however , took place upon the interposition of some women , who seemed attached to the prosecutor s society , and the prosecutor left the house , between eleven and twelve o ' clock at night , leaning upon the prisoner ' s arm . When in Southamptonstreet another altercation took place about the « in , and the prisoner said he would beat in tho prosecutor s head unless ho paid for it at once . The nrosecutor again said that he had no money , upon which the prisoner said he would sound his pockets , in

      ana aomg so , ne took the prosecutor ' s watch from his waistcoat pocket , gave him a tremendous blow on the face , broke the guard-chain by a sudden jerk , and ran off with the watch . Blackett saw all this , and ran after the prisoner . He caught him about 100 yards off , when he threw down the watch , and again got away . He was again captured in a few minutes , and handed over to Police-constable Williams , Io 2 E . The watch was now produced , and identified by the prosecttor . —The iury found the prisoner "Guilty , " but recommended him to mercy on account of bis previous good character . Sentenced to hardlabour for three calendar months '

      THE CHARGE OF BIGAMY AGAINST LOLA MONTES . Maryborough-s treet . —The court and the space before it were densely crowded , in anticipation of the appearance of the Countess of Landsfeldt ( Lola Montes , ) in person , to meet the charge against her of having illegally intermarried with Mr . Heald , she not having been fully divorced from her first husband , Captain James . At about a quarter past two o ' clock Mr . Clarkson , who is retained for the prosecution , entered the court , but no one on tho part of the defendant was there professionally to meet him .

      Mr . Clarkson , addressing Mr , Hardwick , said he was there as the legal repvesentavive of Miss Heald , in the expectation , according to the nature of the communication recently made to him , that the Countess of Landsfeldt , Mrs . James , or by whatever name the lady might be known , would be in attendance in that court to meet the charge against her . The lady , he understood , had arrived in town on Friday last , for the purpose of protecting her bail , he was now prepared to advance tho evidence he had already offered one stage further against the Countess of Landsfeldt , and bethought it but fair to state that he was now in a situation to show , instead of six weeks from the time the last marriage was contracted Captain James was alive in India ,

      that Captain James was alive within six days of that period . He was also in a condition to establish , by the evidence of a copy of the register of the first marriage in Ireland , the fact of the marriage with Captain James . It had however , been intimated to him , that no opposition would be made to tho appearance of the Countess of Landsfeldt at that court on Wednesday next ; but whether it was on account of the thronged appearance which tt » mtt and its approaches now presented , or whether it was to avoid further publicity , it was clear that neither the Countess of Landsfeldt nor her representative was in attendance to meet the charge . The recognizances expired that day , and he begged it might be clearly understood he was there to call for the

      enforcement of the recognizances , the object of that enforcement being to have the appearance in couvt of the party accused . If , however , the bench thought it right to extend a further indulgence to the bail , he should offer no objection . Mr . Hardwick inquired if any one were present on the part of the defendant to ask for a further respile of the recognizances ? Mr . Clabkson said he understood the solicitor of Mr . Heald was present . The solicitor came forward , and said , though he was not acting for the Countess of Landsfeldt , he was able to say that the arrival of the Countess in town last week had not been expected ; that her legal adviser was out of town at the time : and that

      the arrangement fora postponement untU Wednesday had been made on a sudden . After some further consideration the case was adjourned until Wednesday . WEnNEbDAY . —At two o ' clock precisely Mr . Clarkson entered the office and said he had received information of what ho had , already had some reason to believe—namel y , that the person called Mrs . James , who was charged at the instance of Miss Heald with tho felonious offence of bigamy , would not appear that day , and did not intend to appear . The magistrate bad been kind enough to inform him that he had received an intimation to that effeet from Mrs . James ' s solicitor . It therefore became his ( Mr . Clarkson ' s ) unpleasing duty to

      apply to the magistrate to estreat the recognisances . He wished , however , to say one word more in consequence of a rumour that these proceedings were instituted on the part of Miss Heald , not substantially but with a view , which , indeed , was rather confirmed by the arrival of Mrs . James on Friday last under the pretence of undergoing examination , of effpeting a compromise . On the part of the sister of the father of this deluded young man he begged to say there was no foundation whatever for such rumour , and his first proof that there was not might be seen , in the fact , of his now praying that the bail might be estreated . Miss Heald had been , from , the commencement , and still was actuated by the purest motives—motives which he was sure would be sanctioned by the magistrate and by even

      person of proper feeling , that of rescuing the son of her beloved brother from a marriage which was equally illegal and disgraceful ; and if she wished hereafter to enforce proceedings which would have the effect of breaking it when further information from India should arrive bringing the intelligence that Mr . James was alive when the marriage took place , the magistrate , and ho ( Mv . Clavkson ) , and all persons of good feeling , must rejoice if Miss Heald should succeed in rescuing this young man from the fangs of this woman . It only remained for him to call upon the magistrate to estreat the recognisances . Mr . Hardwick . —Under these circumstances I order the recognisances to be estreated . Long before Mr . Clarkson arrived it was reported that Lola Montes and Mr . Heald had left London for Paris on Sunday last . .

Steele attended for the prisoner , many of whose friends , highly respectable persons , were present in court . The hearing occupied the attention of tho magistrate more than an hour and a half . Mr . Steele cross-examined the complainant at some length , and contended that the conduct of tho complainant throughout was such as ought not to entitle him to any degree of credit . —Mr . Broughtonafter

      care-, fully reviewing the whole of the evidcHoe adduced , came to the conclusion that the case was one which he must send before a jury , and upon being applied to with respect to bail , said lie would take the prisoner ' s own recognisance in £ 300 , and two sureties m * . 200 each for his being forthcoming on Monday next . —fhe required recognisances were entered into , and the prisoner was liberated .

      that ou the evening of Monday week , between the Ws of six and seven o ' clock , he was in the Waterman ' s Arms public-house , Little Market-street , Bermondsey , and saw the prosecutor was very much Eicated ; and while in front of the bar dashed down on tho counter a small leather bag , which from its sound evidently contained gold , and said there were fifty sovereigns in it . From the force with which it was thrown the bag fell inside the bar and the landlord requested he would leave it in his hands for safety , and he would give him a receipt for it , so that he might know where ho left it . The prosecutor refused to do so and replaced the bag in his pocket . Murphy , who had

      drank a p int of beer at his expense , and also took up 2 s . which the prosecutor had placed on the counter and put them into his pocket , followed Mr . Stacher out of the house . Witness having no doubt , from Murphy s manner , that his intention was to rob the prosecutor , determined upon following them and giving the prosecutor into the custody of the first policeman he met . While so following them , Murphy made use of the most violent threats to him for interfering , but he continued with them until they met a policeman , named Scott , belonging to the M division , with whom he was acquainted , and to whom he had mentioned the whole of the circumstances of the

      prosecutor having a bag of gold in his possession , and his suspicion that Murphy intended to rob him , and adding that if the gentleman was robbed , after what he had stated , it would be his ( Scott ' s ) fault , left the prosecutor in the hands of that person . Since that time he read an account of the robbery and the examination of the prisoner on tho charge at this court in the newspapers , and having little doubt the parties were the same , he felt it to be his duty to come forward as a witness . —Mr . Eorton observed that the witness had acted a very proper part in the matter , and if the polico-constable ( Scott ) had only performed his duty with equal propriety , the robbery might have been prevented . The case

      was one which required the tact and vigilance of one of the " detectives" to bring forward the necessary testimony to complete it , and he should , therefore , remand tho prisoners to another day , in order that an experienced officer might be employed in the case . The magistrate directed that the landlord of the Waterman ' s Arms , and also the constable Scott , should be in attendance at the next examination . —The prisoners were accordingly remanded , and bail for their appearance refused . CLERKENWELL . — Impudent Swindling . — William Grindley , a young man , who said he was the son of Captain Grindley , of the 40 th Light Infantry , was charged by Mr . Isaac Jacobson ,

      jeweller , of Oxford-street , with stealing a valuable dressing-case . —On Monday morning , about a quarter to ten o ' clock , the prisoner entered the shop of the prosecutor , and requested the shopman to show him a dressing-case . He produced several , which the prisoner carefull y inspected ; when he said they were too inferior in quality . The shopman then told him that he had some silver dressing-cases , and produced one ; on examining which , the prisoner said it would exactly suit , representing that he was a dealer , and he was anxious to show it to a gentleman on approval . The prisoner said that the gentleman resided at North Bank , and willingly assented to the shopman going with him . They evossttl the Resent ' a

' The prisoner then told the shopman that the gentleman who had deputed him to procure him the dressing-case was going to the continent , and was about to let the house , and requested him ( the shopman ) to let him have the desk to show and to wait outside whilst ho ( prisoner ) took it in to show the gentleman . Tho shopman unsuspectingly parted with the dressing-case , and the prisoner rang the bell , and the door having been opened by a female servant , he entered with the property .

      , the parlour window , he found the place destitute of furniture : and , his suspicion being aroused , he rang the bell , which was answered by an elderly woman and , on making inquiries , was informed that the man had entered the house to request permission to get over the wall at the back part of the house , saying that he had lost a key belonging to a desk which he had in his possession . Witness saw no more of the prisoner or the properly until he was m custod y . On the same forenoon , between eleven and twelve o ' clock , the prisoner offered the desk in pledge at Mr . Redpath ' s , pawnbroker , in Seymourstreet , Euston-square , for £ 5 but , being suspected

      ne was questioned as to whether it was his own property . He said he had been sent with it by Mr .

He was the son of Captain Grindley , who served in the 40 th Lkht Infantry with Colonel Chesterton , tho governor of the House of Correction , with whom he was on in-Umvvto and visiting terms . He was also the friend of Lieutenant Tracey , the governor of Tothill-fields Prison , the Governor of the House of Detention and many persons of distinction , and he did not wish to be disgraced by being incarcerated in prison on a charge of felony .-Mr . Combe , however , remanded him until the pawnbroker and other

      necessary evidence could be produced ; and . on being placed at the bav on Tuesday , ho affected to be very much perturbed in mind , paced the bar backwards and forwards , bellowing loudly , whilst holding Ins handkerchief to his eyes and his hand on tho top of his head . —Henry Hall , 264 S , said , he had made inquiries about the prisoner , and ascertained that he had been twice convicted of felony -Mr . Umpe told the prisoner , that all his acting and bellowing nonsenso would not suit there it was all assumed stuff .-Prisoner : I know I am £ I \ ' c ItowMted dishonourably , and disgraced myself .

      consecutively , and ought not to be issued until the slides were empty , when a report ought to be made of the circumstance . The slides were known to bo full on the days in question , which left no necessity for interfering with the drawer ; but the company having some suspicion that tickets had been fraudulently issued , led to the drawer in question being examined . The tickets were alleged to be sold by the prisoner , who acted in concert with the ticket colleotor at Brig hton . That officer , instead of sending them in tho usual way into tho audit-office , handod them to the guard , who brought them to London and transferred them to the prisoner . Not being marked with a strong impression , the latter partially erased the mark and replaced them , in , his drawer for the purpose of issuing them again , not ______

      suspecting that his system of fraud was discovered . —^ Ir . Weatherhead , superintendent at the Londonbridge terminus , produced the tickets , which had evidently been marked and issued . He also produced the slides holding the tickets , and the drawer . The slides would contain more than a hundred tickets—sufficient for any common train . Had the prisoner taken any from the drawer it would have been his duty to report that fact to the accountant in the regular way . —Mr . Edward Blundell , one of the clerks in the prisoner ' s office , said that he saw the prisoner issue tickets for the seven o ' clock Brighton train on the 1 st inst . The prisoner issued tho first and second class tickets , but ho had no ririit to go to the drawer , as the slides were full .

      The tickets now produced had evidently been issued , from the marks thereon . — Mr . Slight , the accountant to the company , stated that there were three clerks in the booking-office—the prisoner , Mr . Blundell , and Mr . Francis . The prisoner had the command over them , and it was his duly to keep account of the tickets and cash , and collect the latter twice a day , and hand it over to witness . The prisoner certified to the other clerks that the accounts were correct . —Mr . Clarkson inquired how the tickets were disposed of after they were used ?—Witness replied that the collector returned them into the audit-office , when they were examined bv him . They were sent in every

      morning . The drawer in which the extra tickets were kept was locked , and the prisoner always kept the keys when the office was closed . Any fraud of the present description must have been committed by other parties acting in collision , as it would be impossible for one person to commit such acts , — Mr . Clarkson said he had no further evidence to offer , and as there was quite sufficient to send the case before a jury , he should ask for a committal , — Mr . Seeker said that he should commit the prisoner for trial , but ho bad no objection to take bail for his appearance at the Old Bailey Sessions . He should , however , require twenty-four hours' notice of the proposed sureties . The prisoner was then committed for trial .

      WORSHIP STREET . — Fokqed Notes . — William Harris , a tall and rather respectable-looking young man , was placed at the bar before Mr . Arnold upon a charge of uttering a forged £ 5 banknote . —Mr . Yann , a solicitor , attended for the prisoner . The note in question was produced stamped with the word '' forged . " It had been paid into the Bank from Mr . Johnson , a flour factor , who had received it from Mr . Bennett , a baker in the Kingsland-road , whose daughter had given change for it to the servant of Mr . Smith , landlord of the Carpenters' Arms public-house in the same nei g hbourhood , and the latter had taken . it from a Mrs . Wilton , a landlady of a house of bad repute in Essex-street , Kingsland-road . —Mary Bird , a girl

      of the town , now deposed , that on Tuesday fortnight the prisoner accompanied her home to Mrs . Wilton ' s , where ho sent out for half a pint of brandy , and gave the landlady a £ 5 note to get changed , which she accordingly did , and the note was afterwards returned as a forgery . She was quite certain of the prisoner ' s identity , having been in his company several times before . Last Saturday night she saw him . again in the Kingsland-road , when she told him that he had given her landlady a falso note , and wished him to go home with her , but he told her not to bother him , and having offered her some half-pence , which she refused , ho went away . She , however , followed him , and she said he gave her in charge for annoying him . —Inspector Pascoe

      said the witness was mistaken in saying that she had been taken in charge , for tac fact was , that since the return of tho forged note , she had been about with some of the police , on the look out for the person who was alleged to have uttered it—Martha Wilton , the landlady , said sue was equally certain that the prisoner was the person who sent her out for the brandy , and to get change for the £ 5 note as stated by the witness Bird . She took it to the Carpenters' Arms , where the'barman sent out and obtained change , which she on her return delivered to the prisoner . It was about eight in the evening , and the gas ali ght at the bar at the time . —Mr . Briton , clerk at the bank of England , proved that the

      note produced was a forgery , and on its presentation at the bank on the 31 st ult . ae stamped it accordingly . Two other notes , now shown to him by the police , were also precisely similar forgeries . —On the part of the prisoner it was alleged that ho was a person of highly respectable character , holding a situation in the City , and- entirely innocent of tho charge made against him bv the female witnesses . —Sergeant Teablc , who had in his possession several forged notes similar to the one produced , said he had no less than six to produce on a future occasion , but was not pvepared with any evidence now . —Mr . Arnold remanded the prisoner ,
