JOHN MURPHY . I am a watchman. On the 10th of March, I was going by the passage of this house and saw Grimes standing by the side of this bed; I asked what she had there; she said a bed - I asked who it belanged to; she said it must belong to the person of the house; we took it into Mr. Groat - he said it belonged to Parsons: I afterwards saw Ryan, she appeared in liquor when she got near the watch-house, but not stupidly drunk.
