In July, 1864 he timer a eap of hot coffee over sitars, Wenn she expand en unfavourable opinion of Bettnetes sister, who hat also cone to the house. In another dispute about Inman the respondent threw a cup of cold water on her. On eanher occasion hs gave her a violent blow on the heed. On another occasion he refused for several hours to let hoe lager, which had bees badly cut, be dressed. In July, 1866, he abused her for having spent 16s. in walking for herself and children daring five weeks which she had spent on a visit to hee father- In-law. Barnet was often insolent to her, and was supported in it by hee teener. When her father•in•lsw died Mr. Anthony gave bar only the same kind of mourning as the eersants. Once he offered witness 601. a year to go away and laws him. BM sallied Dim bow she ma to live ? Hs replied that to did not see any neoesity for her living at all. On one occasion, when witness charged Bennett (who always kept the keys) with attempting to put something late bar beer, she (Bennett) seat toe a policeman, but les rotund to interfere. When the respondent cease In he nil it would here does whites' good to have been pat in prima. la 1666 Mr. Anthony told the servants, so he was lsadag boos to go to Paris, that they seed not do anything for witness that wee disagreeable to them, and they never did wait en lam Witnees and her husband had other disputes about Been" and at length her health failed her so mach that she deer. mined to break up the establishment. She aostedlegly left horns with her two youngest children on the 6th of Niger, 1866, and at ere she lived with a sister of reeponden et Kentish-town, but she afterwards leek aperlsonis of her own. Respondent wrote to witness begging of her to rears, and promising that Bennett should be dieninesd if she be haved dinspectfally to her, but adding that oleo wee . valuable fervent, probably placed by circumetenote In a false position which she by net properly understood." Petitioner =1 that she would not until Emma had left, and rscepi her compleinta against Bennett. [The conraspon. deuce was read.] On the 19th of Not - ember he cases to witness and asked her to return, but on learning that Bow sett was still in his service she refused to go back. Me. Anthony then took Constance away with him Phoebe and Constance hod been sent to see her by Bennett. Dr. Norton, who wee called in to see the petitioner In 1866, depend to the great state of excitement in which he found her. Ohs said it wee owing to Mr. Anthony's ill-treatment. In Agar eha raw away, sad vitas. found hes in Weed- She mid that she would throw herself in the bi en:al n a i r ' next day Mr. Anthony masa to witness, end mule some strong remarks shoat horeewhipping. Witness replied that he should always feel it his duty to attend en woman, if he was celled upon. Jane Dawes, a needlewoomn who had wotked for the fa ally, said that Mr. Anthony behaved worse to his wile then say other husband she had ever seen. Had never hums a lady of such reflood taste or of such a Christian eiseacter as the petitioner. Some other evidence of lase importance was sip) eves. For the delete* Emma Bennett was *maim& lthe woe still in Mr. Anthony's service, where she had been sines 1861. At first her manor and esistress lived en darwant a change. Her I beams very vio list and obscene. Had seen her *hasten to stick , her husband with • carving-hulls, and had seta her throw • knife at his acress the sapper stile. The respondent had Riven orders not to admit Mrs. Winston, a sister of his wide ' hat Mrs. Anthony used to receive bar in a clandestine =le. ner, and send things oat of the house to her. She used to drink the wine in her husband's absence, and when be found ft out she said that the servants must have got to it by sous of false keys. She was an extravagant housekeeper. Witness's room wee next to bee master's. One Sabi she came into wintered bedroom and charged her with having her master there. It was utterly untrue ; respondent had never bane la witness's room. Had never sat on his knee. Pe titioner refused on one occasion to make tea for him, bat threw the toys at him, and told hiss to make it himself. Respondent than told witness to make it, but petitioner pushed her sat of the room. After this she ease down stairs sad maid that her meats had boxed her ears. On one woad= she behaved so violently to her husband that he threw • jog of water over her with which be was washing • negative photograph. He then fetched another jug. but him wife came to him with • poker, and be threw the second jug of water over her. Then there was • scuffle, in which the jag was broken, sod Mrs. Anthony had bee Elope cot. Mr. Actheny strapped it up himself. Crowe-examined—Had never told witness's slater that Mr. Anthony had broken the ice. Her riser had never written to congratulate wins,' on Mr. Anthony and his having broken the mid ice. . . _ -- Dr. it:Mika—Did you sot receive s letter from your akar, to which a►e mid, " I have received a letter from dear Eliza, ia which she Mateo that Mr. A. and you have at last Mohan thaoold ice." _ _ . Witnew ( mach kited)—l bag your pardon, sir; it was with Mr. I —. (A burgh.) Had gent fora policeman to the petitioner; but witness was very much excited and en raged at heeled beau charged with mixing poison with her beer. Mrs. Anthony bad made a einailar charge three days before, and witnew bed seen her pouring out her huband's chemicals. Mrs. Anthony. PM., and Eliza Bury, another servant, gave confirmatory evidence. Mr. Mark Anthony had considered it imperative on him to forbid his wife to have any communication with Mrs. Winston, but afterwards when he discovered that his wine cellar bad bees emptied, he learned that she had nevertheless ecetinaed the want• ins. Petitioner accrued the serviette of faldag the wine, and then they informed him that she had been Is the habit Dot only of drinking it berastf, but of send leg it to her mother and sateen After that wit:Daep took pommel= of the ostler key ; but op to that time she had had his fall othildeece. Had also discovered that there was a moot larger consumption of groceries than thin ought to be, sad was therefore obliged to take charge of the keys himself. The result wee an immediate saving of one-fourth. One day when witncie come home from a photographic excundiu to Burnham Beeches, witness requested his wife to make tea. She refused in the manner already described. Thad to pre vent her freak turning Bennett out of the them; a scuffle ensued, Ii which witness regretted to say that be toned his wits's earl, and turned bar ad of the room. On the occasion on which he threw esid water en her ohs broke the jog, • valuable cake basket (whit:Abed cost Eve gulasas). and a butter dish. Wes ashamed to may that he bad cm that occasion struck her with his flak ; bat could net say where. Was en pained by that oceturence that wit ness never timid any violence towards her afterwards. Was eery much sanoyed at her going to • friend's end askiag hie wile for mosey. She had plenty. She hod some small matters of jeweltery, but witness • taste did not lie in that direction. Could not pay what became of them, Bha was well supplied with clothe* and with everything else. She had the Met of medical aasistanoe whenever she wonted it. Had lived from January to October, 1856, on the best of ' terms with her ; for when any little difference arose, wit nem either requested her to leave the room, or left it himself. Was at Burnham Beeches when •le went away. Had re ceived an intimation by telegraph, and came up to town im mediately. Urged her strongly to return home. fibs seid she would not go unless he seat Emma Besaset away. Pro mised on witness's honour to send he, away if she would cams beet ; but she refused. Thought the piece I. which she was living was not a it one for the children, and therefore took Constancsaway. Petitioner kid been lately eery jost ins of Emma Bennett, but the was not so till after the affair of the wins cellar. Petitioner had never then witness come out of Emma Bennett's room. There was no truth in the statement that an improper intl. macy had existed between witness and Emma Bennett. It was most Wes. Had not adept with the petitioner for • year before the eeparaticiu. She had need such revolting language that witness told her he would never consider her as his wifesgsin To thatdetarmination be bad 'adhered and would adhere. An strongman was toed* in October, 1854, by which witness agreed to pay ber 701. a year for herself, and 121. • yew for the child Orem. It was also agreed that the child should leave her when eke was seem pare dna Petitioner had regularly then the children mice a wrath, se had been eppointed by those who had arbitrated between witness sad his wife. Cross-examined—Emma Bennett took them there was no one else. Had directed Bennett to send witness his wife's letter. Thought that his pro. peaty and honour were not cafe with Mr.. Anthony, and worn therefore anxious, it possible, to obtain some evidence, bet did not want to have such learnt as Bennett sent him. That was what wither. referred to when be spoke of Emma Bessett being a valuable servant but not having undersood her position. Hod cartainlv ref used to diecherge Bennett. Re-examined—Mn. Anthooy had charged liver:eft ith stealing, which was wholly unjastifieble. Considered Boo nett SA a protection to him. By the Judge—Recollected Mr.. Anthony coming no stairs one night.

Mr. Metcalfe said he was instracted by the pariah autho rities et lilarylebone to prosecute this, women for • fraud spa the retepsyere in obtaining relief as a destitate person, visa the had meats of her own at commend, but they bad no wish to press for any punishment , the real object being to teach her and others who carried on these practices, not only in Merylebone but in other parishes, that they were able to:punishment for obtaining relief by false pretences as to their destitute condition. The prisoner by her plea admit ted the set, but seemed to think, as no doubt otters did, that there was no berm in it. It was necessary that they should be taught that aura were, as, the money the ratepayers hod to pay wee intended for the really destitute sad poor, and, to meet the claims of those they had quite calls enough from the collector. The evidence having been given, by which it waii proved that the prisoner had received money and breed ea relief for a considerable period, by representing that she was destitute sad distressed, white ■he htd this money in the bank. the Jury Mond 1.1 Gaalty, but aroma, rocommeaded her to . . . . . . ii;.Metcalfe said be wee Instructed to say that the parish officers did not wish anything to be done with this old woman, more than that she should be held by a recognisance to appear for judgment should it be found necessary to bring her up. It would be a warming to ahem. Mr. Cressy said the prisoner had been convicted of en cffsece for which she wee liable to a severe punishment; but as the jury had recommended her to mercy, and the perish carers bad kindly suggested that they would be satisfied that she should enter into a recogniesoce merely, he had no Ida to take any other coarse than that, especially consider ing the prisoner's years. But, at the same time, it was a very mischievous fraud upon the ratepayers, who ware heavily taxed to support the really pew sad destitute, and they most be protected from snob impoultion. The parish bad done only i ts duty iv directing this prosecution ; but after what bad been soggeatecl, be should direct the prisoner to be discharged after entering Into a comelier:ice to appear . • .

The Rev. 8. H. Whittington, having been called upon by his lordship, mdd—My Lord, I think the prisoner has made • mistake. I had been ooneulted, being his spiritual adviser, both by himself and his friends, and it has been by my advice that he has pleaded guilt y to the committal of the atrocious crime with which he is charged. Indeed, I should not have offered him my advice and assistance had that advice and assistance been instru mental in helping him to evade the troth. Having sd. Wand the fact, I thought It fit your lordship should be put into poseession of what may be termed palliatives of the men; therefore the paper which has been reed by year lordship has been drawn up and the court. I felt, my lord, that reirolt.d to d not enome from the sharp of having committed • veer stmeinse murder, and as a ciergyman of his p.Ukt advised him to take the course he me rosar teem. I thought the circumstances which are represented in the paper might, if it were possible, weigh with you, and that the awful sea- Immo' the law might IM substituted by a sentence of • less esteems ohmmeter. I have nothing to say, my lord, in de fuses of the prisoner's crime and his previous character. I merely advised him as his minister.

The ledge—Was the paper drawn up under your advice? The Rev. Mr. Whittington—Yes, my lord. The Judge—l have read it, and It seems to me that it would not be desirable to have It reed In public. Rev.

Mr. Whittington went round to the dock, spoke to the prisoner, sad as the rev. gentlemen removing from the dock, The indite, addressing the prisoner, uld—What do you my now? Shell this poper be read? The prisoner—No, my lord. The prisoner was thee asked if he bad anything to say why the sentence of death should not be pronounced by the court upon him. No answer being made, The Mimed Judge proceeded to pass sentence. Re said— Prisoner at the bar, you have been found guilty upon your own orafeesion of the murder of your wife. I have read through the depositions of the wit nesses taken before the coroner and the committing megistrates. Having done so, and ending their evidence con ciliates, It is not a matter of mambo or regret to me that you should have thought it beet to plead guilty, not in the hope of obtaining mercy by taking snob a course, but from the consciousness that to deny your guilt would only lead to hearing the witnesses clearly prove it before the hos of the public against you. The paper which you have handed in I have read, and will take oire that it is forwarded to the proper quarter. lam bound to say that nothing I have read In that paper would justify me in holding out to you the elighteat hope that mercy well be extended to you. I have begged of you not to bait on having that paper read in public. I did so, because it eon. taina imputations upon others of the most horrible Mad. which I believe to be unfounded, and I should indeed regret that your last act in the world should have bean one so dreadful as to Impute to any living helot the crimes which are mentioned in that paper. It is no part of my office to increase your misery by stating before you the heinousness of your guilt. My duty is simply to pronounce the awful judgment of the law. Before Ido so I think it right to say that for snob a crime there can be no hope of mercy in this world. The sentence of desalt was them passed in the usual manner. The Rev. J. B. Whittington privately spoke to his lordship. The Judge, addraming Mr. Spooner, the counsel for the prosecution, said that the Rev. Mr. Whittington wished it to be understood that it was not owing M any way to hie suggestions that the objectionable passages appeared in the document.

The reason why they were not married was that the defendant always stated that he could sot make so comfortable a home for the plaintiff as he desired I while his mother lived, and declared that so Krouse his mothee s li death took place he would fulfil his promise and merry her. He continued to 'ilia plaintiff as usual, until the month of August in the present year, hie mother having died a month or two before, when to plaintiff's great surprise he ceased his visits and married another pencil, one permuted of ccm @likeable property.
