MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—LEEDs, ACCOST 16. (Mare /Ir. Julio. Kestisg.) was 11171DILl AT BRIFTIZI.D. . . _ J.isty)A dyers, taNs bails nder , ;as placed at the bar, charged with the murder of his wife, Nancy Myers. He was evidently very week. breathed heavily and suffered from a slight cough. la a weak 'Moe be pleaded guilty" to the indictment Whilst the jury were being sworn, he was supported by a turnkey, but ass afterwards accommodated with a meat. Mr. V. Blackburn and Mr. Barker coodacted the prosecu tion ; nod, at the request of the learned judge, Mr. Middle ton defended the primmer. Mr. Blackburn said the prisoner had been married for some years to Nancy Myers, and they lived together at Sheffield. He was about forty-three years of age, and at the time of her death, the deceased was about forty-four. They bad several children, hut at the period in question only two of them resided with them. It would appear from the evidence that for a long time they bad lived unhappily together, and this reached its climax on the 10th of June, which was a day to which the atten tion of the jury was especially called. On the morn ing of that day, about Moe o'clock. the deceased went down stairs dressed, with the exception of one boot. Shortly afterwards, her husband went down with the boot in his hand, and threw it at her feet. The deceased made use of en ex pression to the effect that if he did not like it be might out the boot down his throat, and this appeared to be the oaly angry expreesioe made use of by her. Nothing further was then said, and t h e prisoner went out. Presently afterwards his little girl entered the house, and in consequence of some thing she said, Mrs. Myers went out. The prisoner was in the yard attached to the house, and appears to have desired to see his wife. She went to him. but ultimately returned to her own house, and was seen by a neighbour stooping down by the Maltese' leading from the house pert up to the chamber. The priaooer was seen to ga into the house and to stab his wife suddenly and rapidly two or three times. The poor woman was on the ground, but she jumped up, and a venom l i named Hook, attracted by the cries and the scuffle, observed that the deceased was bleeding from the throat and lama and that the prisocer was cutting his own throat with a table knife. The deceased was taken by Mrs. Hoole to the home of Mrs. Marshall, but died in a few minutes. The primmer was taken into custody by • police-officer, and alth ough bleeding from a wound in his throat, he was able to speak, and asked.. , is she dad; I have done it. and I hope (using • foul expression) she'll die." The weapon with which the fatal wound was inflicted, the prisoner himself told the police officer, wee a scissors blade. On the name morning the prisoner had been seen with a pair of scissors eodeavogring to take • Gail from his boot. The scissors were whole at that time, but the demend apparently was stabbed by one of the blades after they were separated. The blade was afterwards found in a tab in the boon, where it bad evidently been thrown by the prisoner, and the other blade was found, • day or two at ter wardsin the neighbourhood. There wee only on Other fact which it was coronary to lay before the jury. On the evening of the 15th of June the deceased went to Mrs. Marshall's, and made some communication to her. Shortly after, her daughter Polly went there, but in came queom of what the deceased had previously told her, the little girl was sent away. Later the same evening the pri mmer went to Mrs. Marshall's, and asked her to lead him • pair of razors, but owing to what had previously been told her, she refused to do so. . . . . Soma. vrituesses having proved the shove facts. Mr. Middleton addressed the jury for the prisoner, with the view of inducing them to find the prisooer guilty of uumslaughter only. The jury, however, found the prisoner Civilly of murder. The prisoner having been asked in toe usual form whether he had any thine to say why sentence of death should not be parsed, replied, •• I was drunk the niAt before. I bad had snout of ale the morning I committed the deed. My wife mid she would throw my bond up, and have 020 com mitted to prison. I aid not know what I was doing, or I should not have killed her. His lordship than passed sentence of death is the usual form The intoner was !emoted, apparmitlt little affected by his awful positios. THE RI7DDEISFILLD Y I'RDLE. Jomph Hai;/A, sired 31. cotton toaster, .as indicted for the Iselinl murder of Joseph Pomo. at Huddersfield, on the ith of May, 1864. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Wed.'s and Mr. Bettye were counsel for the prosecu ting, ; Mr. Vernon Blackburn and Mr. Wand foe the . . . Mr. Weekly stated the case, tad he expressed an opinion that the facts which would corm out in evidence would leave no doubt whatever tie the minds of the jury that on the 7th of May the deceased, Joseph Person, met his death at the hands of the primmer at the her. The main questioo would be the state of the mind of the primmer. He lived at Coln. Bridge, two and a-half miles from Huddersfield, and worked there with Samuel and Jonathan Haigh. His family consisted of himself, wife, two childreu, and an old man, his uncle, the deceased, who was 61 pats old, and very weakly and diminutive, and had been • widower twelve years. During the whole of that time be had resided at the hoe of the prisoner, paying him for his board and lodg ing. No doubt for a considerable tiros they had lived together on teems of the greatest friendship, and except with regard to what appeared occasional delusions on the part of the prisoner they lived together on the best terms. At least that would awes: to have beau the case until some short tiroe before the terrible occurrence into which the jury had to inquire, when the poisoner conceived reasons for wishing that Pugsou should leave his house. He thought something was going on to his prejudice—that • plot was being ester- Lined in which Porton had • part, and be was anxious that Pogrom should go away. He appeared to have mentioned this to his wife, and also to witnesses who would give evi dence in the case. When he was told that there would he no use in Popon going away he threatened that he would go to America. sod that took place • vary few days before Pogsoo was killed. The learned counsel believed that Popo!) had treated the prisoner with great kindoess,asd that no motive in the world could be suggested for the murder. Pompeii, indeed, bad made Ida will, and left all he had to the prisoner. Perhaps that was not knows to the prisms', but such was the cue, and the way in which the deceased had ever regarded the prisoner was of the kindest and moat affectionate character. In the house of the prisoner there lived two daughters, Alice and Francis, who slept in a little room on the right hand side of the passage. Om the other side of the passage Popon, the deceased, slept, and downstairs the prisoner and his wife slept in the house place. OD the morning of &Duthie, the 7th of May, all the family bavicg been in bed, sod all having been quiet up to that time, the children were awoke by • scream, and immediately after the wife rushed into the children's room, and turning rapidly round endeavoured to fasten the door. She could not do so because the primmer burst She door open. and rave her two severe blows on the side of the heed. What had been the beginning of the quarrel was not known, and it did not affect the question. The wife sod one daughter endeavoured to prevent the prisoner from going on in this way, and tried to hold him down, when Pogsoo, who was alarmed at what was going 00, cues from his room into the room where the struggle was going on, and immediately the prisoner burst away from his wife and the girl, rushed upon Pogsoo, knocked him down, and as he fell Porsou's head came in contact with a chest of drawers ; the prisoner then planed his foot capon his head, and from that time be (the leased counsel) should tot be able to give • clear account of what took place. After that a little girl tried to stop Lim from doing Linn to Popov, but be threatened her, and then it appeared that all left in fright, and called for assistance. A brother of the prisoner. Thorns. Haigh. then came in, whet he ran midair., and found the dammed !Meg on the floor in a great quantity of blood—blond from the moreb—and be was moaning and appeared to he dying, whilst he noticed also that the naked legs and feet or the prisoner were splashed with blood. The brother took the prisoner dowirstaire sod Joshua Drabs, • polio*. man, having came in, he gave the pr moose to him, and told him to take charge of him. He again went op stairs sod Lit Poison to bed, where he was seen by the surgeon. hut recovered, sad in three hones after was deed. The surgeon would tell them that be died in conseonsoce of the severe wounds upon the bead, the shall, he (Mr. Waddy) believed, being battered in. Vibes the primmer was takes down stairs and washed • conversation look plane, and statement. wars made by the prisoner which would leave Do doubt whatever as to the mode in which he attacked the deceased, or as to the means by which he aims LI his death. There would be sbandame of prime facie evidence to substantiate the crime of murder. There was not the Semi provocation suggested, nor any means by which the crime could be reduced to maualaughter. But there would be • question as to the sanity of the prisoner, and there was not the slightest desire on the part of the poor cation to press the cue unreasonably mallet the pri mmer. If it should be made out, either by the withemes he (Mr. Waddy) might call, or by those the prisomer's counsel might call, that the prisoner was imam, and that his insanity amounted to sufficient in the eye of the law to axoevrate him from criminal responsibility, then the jury must give him the benefit of it, mod no persons would be more delighted than the parties to this preemie-lon if they could couscieniiously and honestly 6iol their way to such a merciful verdict. Bat at the same time, while the prosecu tion desired to deal honestly and liberally with the prisoner, it was their duty meet before the jury those facts which appeared to have • bearing in an °meads direction, and to set before them those statemeota of the prisoner which ap peared to intimate that be did at the time know the caterer and quality of the crime he perpetrated. About sixteen months beforethia he had been for • short time odder the care of Mr. Clerk, surgeon, end be had melancholia and delusions. At various times, too, be had had delusions of an inoffensive and harmless character. They would hear from • higher authority than himself (Mr. Waddy) what the nature of those delusions must be to entitle the ma. to an acquittal. With regard to the qualities of insanity generally. probably they might be toll that it consisted in • man not knowing the oatureor quality of the crime be was emu- In this case, unfortunately, there were eminences which would indicate • peeled knowledge of the act which the man committed. When asked by the police what he had dare it fur, Le replied "Oh they know : we should have hoes separated two or three days sines ;" and 11111•13 asked what he had done it with, he said " I knocked him dove . I .' l stamped Moo him with my heel." Moreover, be said, "Are you not going to bike me to Haddonfield ; I know I shall have to go ;" mid be said " I hare killed the old ruse. I followed my wife upwards. Payola mine into Sherwin, and !threw him downandetamped,opes his head.' 'RESS, WrIIiESDAY TINGE , . AUGUST 17, 1864. And the be added, "He would set leave." Whoa asked by • fotwfahl• if Oa knew the cooseq uence of what he bad doue be said " Yes. and I wish you would take me to Huddersfield before any one gets up." Another alatemeot, the brained comma said, showed that be had premeditated the Ming. It was, "I told her two days's° I should do it. I =peat Isbell be hanged ; sod I don't want to get aff ; I did it M a sion." If the man's maid was unreliable such arprsasioas were not to be pressed against the prisoner, but the jury must exercise their judgment upon them. thee bearing from his lordship what weight was to be attached to them. If they thought he was aware of the 'amputation asd of the criminality of his act they mast say so, het if they could see their way to believing that at the time he committed Mu fearful act be was by no mains in possession of his faculties, then he was to be excused from the coesequences, and if such should be the case no one would - rejoice more than those who roodected this prosecution.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE NORTH LONDON. The thirtieth half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders of this resopouty was held yesterday after noon at Dub') Statioo ; Mr. if. Woourezotr Birk' in the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, The Casnoux, in moving the adoptioe of the report. an abstract of which ban appeared, said that it must he very gratifying to the shareholders to observe that there had been an increase in all three branches of traffic—namely, pas senger, goods, and minerals : and the increase in the pas senger traffic was the more gratifying because it proved that the opening of the Metropolitan Medway had not injuriously affected the receipts of this railway company. There had, it was true, been a small diminution in the peasetivir traffic on the opening of the Hammersmith line, bat that had been more than made up from other sources. They had made considerable peognr in the works of the ass lies to the City, and had expended 5,0001. far land at Bow. In coasequemee of their 'mein three halls in what:mat last session, and having to watch the progress of other bills in parliament, their parliamentary expenses had been unusually heavy.

Several brushes and other articles were branded with the broad arrow, and as the prisooer failed to give • satisfactory account of their posies 'ion wits/ma took him into custody. end removed the property is • cut to the police statioe. Jobo Watling, R.

The Prisoner : I wish to say that Mr. Watling gave me the white cloth and the calico produced some years ago. Wit....: Well. I might have done ao.

The government was pretty liberal, they all knew that, sal he had no doubt that the muter tailor might have a considerable quantity of materials left after he had supplied the articles. At all uteri the muter tailor gave satisfactioe to whams, Rod he believed also to the government. With regard to the shirts produced, I witneu most observe that the proceeding was irregular, am the shirts ought no to have come out of the muter-tailor's shop, but eat of the stores. The large quantity of articles now produced could not have hen car. fled oat of the barracks et use time, as they would have been stopped by the military polies.

The CHAIRMAN, IR moving the adoption of the rep xi, after alluding in terms of regret to the retirement of Mr. Beale ' from the chairmanship of the beard. on which he will am tieue to sit, ungratalated the shareholders on the large er ne= in the traffic receipts, and on the fact that so large • proportion of that excess was available for dividend. The increase had ben over every department except cattle ; as urinal the largest ratio of increase had been to the tumoral traffic • in merchandise it had been 40,00dt. ; in minerals, 79,01704 The increase in the passenger traffic) had been very satisfactory, amounting as it did to 2401101., and that in the face of large reductioaa in the passenger fares over a consideralle portion of the railway. This large increase of 128,0001. had been tamed at • rearm able cost ; it had amouoted to no more than 52,0001., leasing 76,001.0. available for dividends ; hews the large increase in the dividend as umpired with the oorrespoadiwg half of last year. The increased expenses over Dio3 sad bees ceased onnapally by maintenance of way, renewal of road, he., all at the ant of revenue ; as had also drugs' for carriages and waggon, and an increase in the charge for traffic ex penes had lieu caused 1,, reason of the line having bees opened fur the whole ball year to Bowsley and Bastes. Among the general charges of increase was the item for fire ' iiieursoce. The terms upon which they had borrowed this money were favourable, considering the high price of mosey during the past halt-year. They had borrowed nearly ball a million, about cowbell of which was at 4 per cent., the re mainder at 4f, the average being 41.2 a. 7 fd.,which was below the rate of some of the leading railways. The new lieu is course of construction were programing satisfactorily, and their northern frauds would be glad to bear that there was • prospect of the Ottley and Daley line being opened in the autumn. Considerable progress had been nude in the line from Siszoingbain to Nuneaton, which would open up a aim way, via the Midland, from Birmingham to London ; and although it would not be so abort as the route by the London and Norte- Westeru it would lilted a third means of communicative about equal in distance with the Great Western. la the last parliamentary campaign, so far as the Midland Company was concerned, they bad had • protracted and espies:we seseioa, and that too from quarters from whicb they had • right to expect eomethiog else ; he alluded ehiedy to the opposition at Sheffield and Burton ; but, thanks to the zeal of their oolicitors sod officers, they had had a sucontaful seadoe. The works at Sheffield would be proceeded with as speedily as pos sible ; be hoped that any bad feeling which might have existed against the Midland in that tows would sue, sad that the inhabitants would soon opine to the cowrie:Soo that what had bean dose was best for their interests. He concurred with Mr. Beale as to the satisfactory position which the Midland line occupied ; it had a most important wgrapliical petition, in the centre of a great commercial district ; their traffic had increased of late at the rate of nearly 4,0011/. per week; but tbosigh that advance had takeu place, and it had enabled them to raise the dividend at the rate of 14 per cent., they must pot be too mambos that that tureens would continue. Many circumstance. might militate against it. They wars laying out • great deal of capital. sod had consequently more to pey upon. They bad raised more than 1,000,000/., having • deferred dividend that would bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent. in July of sett year. Be runtime:id that among other reasons why the increased dividend ninth; not continue.
