Mr. Minshull to the prisoners.—Have you any questions to ask either of the last witnesses?

Bishop.—Nothing particular now.

Mr. Thomas was the next witness examined. He stated that he went yesterday (Sunday) to Bishop's house, for the purpose of making a more rigid search. On examining the front parlour, he found among a heap of old clothes and dirty linen, the cap which he now produced.

Mr. Halls.—In what part of the room did you find this cap?

Mr. Thomas.—In a corner, where there was a heap of soiled linen and children's dresses.

Mrs. King was recalled, and the blue coat last found submitted to her view.

Mr. Minshull.—Was that such a coat as the Italian boy had on, whom you saw in Nova Scotia gardens, on the day you have already mentioned?

Witness.—The coat is to all appearance exactly like the coat which the boy had on, but there is no mark about it to enable me to swear positively that it is the same coat.

Mr. Minshull.—You are not called upon to swear so positively to it, but only to the best of your knowledge and belief.

Witness.—All I can say is, that the coat is exactly like, as far as regards colour, size, and shape, and it has every appearance of the coat which the boy had on, when I saw him on Thursday.
