Q. Now tell us distinctly as far as you can what you heard? A. I heard two men quarrelling, and a woman crying murder, but not in such a way as would lead me to think she was in danger. She continued to do so for a few minutes; then something gave three cries as if it was strangled. Q. Did it resemble the sound of a person or animal that was strangled? A. Yes. Q. What did you hear after this? A. I heard no noise on the floor, only speaking loud. After these remarkable sounds, I heard the female voice who cried murder, strike her hand as if against the door and call for the police, they were murdering her. I went immediately for the police, and could not get one. I returned and went down the stair a little way. Q. Did you hear any thing after? A. Nothing but the voices of the two men which appeared at a great distance. Q. While you were listening, did you hear feet moving on the floor? A. Yes. Q. How far might you be from Burke’s door when you heard those remarkable sounds? A. About three yards, or ten or fifteen feet. Q. Was the outer door shut? A. I think it was, and that on the same door the woman struck her hands. Q. When did you hear a body had been found? A. On Saturday evening, and that fixed my recollection of what I heard before. _Cross-Examined._ Q. You said you went in search of the Police? A. Yes. Q. How far did you go? A. Only to the mouth of the passage. When I returned I did not consider it necessary to interfere farther. Q. Was the voice you heard of murder the same you heard when you first went down? A. Yes, it was like the voice that said, for God’s sake go for the police, there is murder here. I since sent a person to strike on the _inner door_ to see if it sounded the same as I heard before, and I think it did not. _Re-examined._ Q. Was the last cry for the Police? A. Yes, and that there was murder there. _By the Jury._ Q. Have you any doubts the cry of murder you heard in the passage came from Burke’s house? A. I have no doubt of it.

Yes, my brother sent me for Burke, and I went and inquired for his house at Mrs Law’s. DAVID PATERSON, _Examined_. Q. Where do you live? A. At No. 26, West Port. Q. What is your occupation? A.
