ceding one run frost to back ; A passage miafrom left to right across the oentroof the building , intersecting the servant * * - passage and leading to tie- dining and drawing rooms . Mr Jenny , Mr Jerray . jun .,. and Mrs Jermy dined together on Tuesday avaning . The bntler , two female servants , and a man servant were on the premises . Two female servants hid gone to Wymondbam , and had returned to the park ,, but were not in the hall before eight o ' clock . Aboil half-past eight o ' elook , Mr Jermy , sen ., left tha £ s » ing room , and walked through the hall rathe front of the building . On returning , just as he entered the poreh , a man wrapped np in aclosk , and wearing a mask , fired a pistol at him . asd the shit lodged in the upper part ot his left breast , close to , the shoulder .
He fell down and instantly expired * The assassin went to the servants' entrance to the right , passed through the passage from the frost ,, turned to ike left into the passage acrojS the building , and met the butler . With a pistol in eaohhand ^ he beckoned the bntler to go back . Being greatly alarmed , the but . ler retired into his pantry . The assassin proceeded onwards to the turn ot the passage , where there was a dark recess and a door opening intoanother passage , leading to the back of the premises . He appears to have arrived in the recess jus 4 as Mr Jermy , jan . alarmed at the report of a pistol , left the dining room ; The young gentleman went to the door opening inte the back passage , and there the man fired at hia and shot him through thetright ' breast . He instantly fell down dead . Mrs Jermy , hearing a noise , west to the same place , and while standing over the life * less body of her husband , the same diabolical assassin fired a pistol at her . The shot shivered one of her
arms and wounded her in the breast . Tier maid went to the same spat to tee what was the matter , and while supporting her mispress , the murderer discharged a pistol at her and severely wounded her in the thigh . The female servants , thinking they should be all murdered , hid themselves . The man servant , who was then in the stables , hearing all this firing , and supposing that the house was attacked by A number of ruffians , swam across the moat and set off to Wymondham , where he gave the alarm which caused a telegraphic message to be sent to Norwich police , station . The murderer had , therefore , no difficulty in making his escape . The two women servants who had gone to Wymendham returned with two young men , and while they stood outride of the moat talking they heard the report of a pistol , and saw the flash . They thou ? ht Mr Jenny , jam , was trying to frighten them , and they went to the ledge . ' , ' ¦ .

The house was searched , and a cloak , quite damp , was found upon Mr Rush ' s bed . ' Constable Mortar took the cloak into his possession , and Pent took charge of a pair of Mr Rush ' s boots , which were quite wet .

He then asked her whether Mr Jermy and his son were at home , and she answered in the affirmative : after some further sssl
conversation , he went through a gap into a meadow . This meadow was not far from Stanfield gate . Emily James deposed , thatshe lived with Mr Rath , bat . not as a servant ; she had' gone to live ' with him as his housekeeper , but that . arrangoments had not yet been made .

She was readin g a book , she said , which interested her very much , and she did not keep a trery accurate account of the time . '
Solomon Savory , a yon , 'h in Mr Rush's em ployment , said , that he tired in the house , and was in the habit of cleaning Mr Rush ' s boots , and he sometimes cleaned them with a wet cloth , which accounted for the pair found being damp .

OOROHXR ' S INQUEST .
Wyhohdham , Thursday , Nov . 30 . — At twelve o ' clock at noon , this day , Mr Edward Press , one of the ooronora for the county of Norfolk , held an inquest upon the bsdies of Mr Isaao Jeriny' and his son . The jury was composed of the yeomanry and other inhabitants of the district . It was stated that in the early part of the day the coroner forwarded to the accused ( Rush ) a list of the jury summoned to attend , with a view of ascertaining if ho objected to any ofthem . The list was returned with four names erased .
The deceased gentleman , Mr Isaao Jermy , was described as sixty-nine years of age , and his son , Mr Isaao Jermy , jnn ., as thirty . The jury , having been sworn , proceeded to view the remains of the unfortunate deceased , which lay in the drawing-room of Stanfield-hall , and presented a melancholy sight . Both bodies were stretched on the carpet in the apartment , and death apparently with both of them , had been in stantaneous . Mr Jermy , sen ., had been shot _ by the agiaesin in the leftside , the ball passing through the heart . The son received the ball in his right side , whence it passed through his body . The coroner and jury were shown by the domestics the mode and place in which the murders had been committed ,

The only ayidence gone into before the jury was that relating to the identity of the deceased . The investigation was then adjourned until Fri'day . A vast number of labourers are employed empty , ing the moat whpi '; surtotpis the mansion , in the hope of deteotingitnefire ' aifmsof , the murderer . ., < . :- ' \ . ; , : ' ^ , TH ¥ fABJOtmNlD'i *« UBST . £ ? % ' FRiniv , Deo . lV «* -. The second , , day ' s inquest' was held on Friday , at the King ' s Head , when Mr Press the coroner , stated that he should take the evidence in each caa » perfectly distinct from the other , as it would be necesearj , and would facilitate busi-. . . _ .. a
ness . The first case proceeded ^ in was that of Mr Isaac Jermy / when the following ' evidence was given : — ; Mr iW . P , Niohols , surgeon , '¦ . of Norwich , upon being sworn , stated—Onremoving the drcss . l found a large wound , situated about two inches above the nipple , of the left breast . The wound passed through the skin , three ef the ribs—the fourth , fifth , and sixth—directlyjftckwards , destroying tbeentirebody and apex of the heart , thence through the . posterior part of the left spine , ' where there were several portions of singular shaped pieces sf lead lodged . They were lodged in the muscular mass behind the .
tubercles of the fifth and sixth ribs on the leftside , both of which were destroyed . In the substance of the lungs I found a foreign body , which I will produce to the jury . I believe , that substance to be the covering of a cartridge ,. ( The substance was exhibited to the jury , who minutely inspected it . ) Mr . Tunaley assisted me fa the examination , and will produce the pieces of lead . 1 toek them out and gave them to Mr Tonaley . " ' ' - " '• ' ' "' . , . ; The Coroner . —Can you state the cause of death . . Mr Nichols ~ I'have no doubt that death ensued from the result of either gun or pistol shot .
Mr Robert James Tunaley , surgeon , of Wymondham . confirmed this evidenco . ' ; ¦' ¦ The following evidehcewas given with reference to the death of . Mr Jermy Jermy ;—Mr Nichols spoke to being [ called to the hall as in the previous case . ' Upon examining the body ef Mr Jermy Jermy , I observed a small hole in the waistcoat covering the right side of the chest I yesterday , with Mr Tunaley , made ipott mortem examination of the body . In removing the dress I found a small wound , about an inch above and to the inner side of the right nipple of the breast . The wound I found Went'backwards between the third arid fourth ribs , through the base of the heart , a portion of the right lung , destroying the body of the slxth'dorsal vertebras
into the mass of muse ' e situated behind the spine . At the back of the spine were deposited several portions of lead of irregular shape , which I gave to Mr Tunaley . It was those pieces which caused the y round 1 have just described . The wound , was pro . 4 V iced by a gun or pistol shot , which must have been gJi d very close to the deceased . , ' . j ^ V & subsequent st ate of the inquiry , it having fe « a requested by the juroira " thai the lead should be weigh * * d > it was stated that the two pieces of lead t » te »\ ' rem the body of Mr Isaao Jermy -weighed , the en * . thirteen grains and the other , eleven . The iflvo piece . 3 taken from the body of Mr Jermy weighed Itwo talrt * grains , and the others eleven each . 1 Jkaw 9 \ & tB & a stated—I am butler at Stanfield

I got up on Wednesday morning between five and six o ' clock . I was called up by the team man , Who told me that the police were there , and they wanted to see Mr Rush . I went down and spoke to the police ; I then went to call Mr Rush up . After I knocked I said , ' I want to speak to you / I called out two or three times .

To the beet of his knowledge , Mr J * mea Roshwas at Felmingham on the Tuesday evening . Mr Bailey was called , and she repeated the statement she had made before the magistrates , that on Tuesday afternoon Mr Rush spoke to her at theKetteringham Lodge gate , and then left her abruptly to speak to a young woman . £ liz % Cooper repeated the evidence she gave before the magistrates on Tuesday afternoon ,
. John Mortar deposed—I am a city constable . On Tuesday night , 'November 23 th , there was some information sent to our , station-house at Norwich . Myself and seven other ' policemen were seat by Mr Hudson , the magistrate , to Stat > fie ] d Hall . On arriving there I received instructions from Inspector Amiss ; and about two o ' clock I accompanied him and eight others to a place called Potash Farm . We got to this farm , and we surrounded the house . About a qnarter after six in the morning I saw , Rush come to the door . After hearing the bar slip 1 opened the door and went in ,, and seized him by the arm , saying ,- ' Tea are my prisoner . ' Inspector

There were no more witnesses present ; and the coroner sent the parish constable to , the Bridewell to ask the magistrates , whather they would allow either the constable Pont , or the housekeeper , to come and give evidence?—On his return , he stated that they were . beth under exasainatien andould not attend . The inquest was adjourned to Tuesday ; the coroner issuing his . warrant for the apprehension of Rush ' s housekeeper .
ADJOUBNBDINOUBST . Wiuosdham , Tuesday night . —The proceedings before Mr Coroner Press , adjourned from Saturday last , was resumed this morning at ten o ' clock , in the potty sessions of the King ' s Head Inn , in this town . On the jury re-assembling , the coroner commenced the business by remarking that since his arrival that morning he had received a communication from the magistrate , stating that a witness for whom he had issued a summons , Emily James , was at present in the Bridewell , for safe custody , and it appearing to them ( the magistrates ) very essential that her evidence should be placed before the coroner ' s jury , they suggested that the coroner and jury should adjourn
to the Bridewell for that purpose . From the peculiar nature of the case it was deemed advisable that no one should be admitted to the inquiry butthe coroner and the jury , and he ( the coroner ) therefore hoped the gentlemen of the press would not consider him as exercising any nndue power , or wishing to inter , fere with the right they claimed as representatives of the press to attend any public inquiry , by not permitting them to be present . He , however , should be happy to afford them all necessary information as to the general purport of the inquiry , and he trusted that they would not press their right to be present , nor think they were excluded from any improper motive .
The coroner and jury then proceeded to the Bridewell ^ where the inquest was resumed , bat the inquiry being conducted privately , and the representatives of the ptess being excluded , it fellows that the sketches of the evidence given must be based on hearsay information . Such being the case , and feeling assured that any unauthentioated accounts of the evidence must greatly prejudice the case of the unfortunate indif idual whose life is at stake , we forbear from giving at any length the information received , and we caution the public to receive with caution the outline which we publish of the statements made heforce the coroner at the Bridewell . Mrs James , on the jury assembling in the board , room of the Bridewell , was brought in by the matron , and having beea ngconnodated with a teat ( being < n «

Tsb PsiwNKR . Rusa . —A local papcpsays : ' JamfS Bloomflold Rush has long been knows in that part ef the country , having been for many years a farmer and land agent , to which he added , till within the last four or five years , the business of an auctioneer . He was a natural sob , ais reputed father being a gentleman near Wf mond « ham ; and bis mother subsequently married Mr Rush , of Felmingham , who was found dead in his kitchen , his gun being near bim , ' and a coroner ' s inquest returned a verdict of Accidental Death , or felode . se , we cannot ( remember which . James Bloomfield , after his mother ' s marriage , always went by the name of Rush . He married early in life a lady of Aylsham , and occupied a farm in that
parish under Mr Pitman . From thence he removed to Wood Balling , where he rented a farm belonging , we believe , to Sir Richard Paul Joddrell . A fire took place on this farm during his occupation , which he was sispeoted of having earned . He was tried for arson and acquitted . From Wood Dallicg he removed to Wymondham , where he farmed nearly 200 acres under Mr Jermy , who had so muoh confidence in him that he appointed hi * his bailiff or steward . He also occupied a farm at Felmingham , the property of Mr Jermy , and the Potash " farm at Hethel , which is hia own property , but was mortgaged to Mr Jermy . Things went on very comfortably , tillOoN 5 th , 1847 i when distresses were put onthe farms ; and ultimately Mr Jermy obtained possession of tha
stanfield Hall Farm ; and also , in an action a gain ) Rush for breach of covenant , obtained a verdict , th damage and costs amounting to £ 477 10 ' Rush ' s lease ef the farm at Felmingham expired : Miohaelmss , 1848 , and he ought to have given it « f but he refused , and a distress was issued . He resisie It , but ultimately paid the money . Rush had bee twiee married ; both his wives are dead , but he ha a large family , it is said , of nine children , One < his sons lives at the 'Potash Farm / bnt he and hi brothers and sisters were notat home on the nigh the murders were committed . The Norwich Msb cuby has tho following : — ' For some time past ther
have been legal differences between him and the l » t Mr Jermy . Rush was not long since the tenant of farm now in the occupation of Mr Colmac , asd thet became bankrupt . A mortgage of £ 5 . 000 , due to th deceased gentleman , ought to have been paid off c Thursday , the 30 th of November , on the ssoond da after these atrocities took place . We learnt hate Sunday last , in the afternoon , the prisoner came I Stanfield Hall , and saw the late Mr Jermy . and ths his object was to induae the ill-fated gentleman < allow the mortgage to remain for three years morethat this request ww reiused , and that very hij wordaeasued , *
