Mr. Knight was examined, sad stated that is the month following the publication, his business diminished to the ex tent of W.. and he ascribed this result to the article in the Builder. There was no privy in the yard, which was of the sit- described in the article, bat there was a water.closet which was properly suppl ied with water. There was no door to it, the men having broken down the door because the place gees so dark. It was impossible for the next door neighbour to see into tbo water-closet, or to see any person sling it. There never had been mix bushels of rotten cab bage there. The refuse vegetables were removed from the yard every day by the dustman. The only miscellaneous rubbish there were four small carriage wheels, two doors, a meat screen, and a lamp iron. These thing' were placed sigaiut the wall. Soles, mackerel, Am, were never left on the Hags to cool, because they were served up hot. (A laugh.) The fish was generally brought borne from market in a basket, which was placed upon the flap. The yard was mot made nee of aa • urinal. He never knew it to have been so used. There were three waterelosets in the house. The only cinder dust that there ever was in the yard was that which was made whilst using the copper, and that dust was taken away by the dustman every day. He gave the dust man le. Cid. and a quart of beer weekly for his services. The yard was flooded and scrubbed with a birchbroom every day. The walls were lime-washed every eight or twelve mouths, so as to throw light into the oyster-room. The cinder dust was put into a basket generally, and was never lying about the yard. The rata which were in the yard were used for oysters in their season. Water was let into the vats every morning and run off again about the afternoon. The lobster copper was in the yard—bat as to • mop, there had not been one there for four years. The vats ware done out with a broom, and the boiler was cleaned with vitriol end bnckdust. There were seven windows at the back of the adjoining house. The medical officers of health bad visited his yard in their official capac n ty. They visited in March last, and espoused the yea satisfied. Wm. Harebell, a person in the employ of the plaintiff, pre similar evidence. He added that he could not say that be had never uaed the yard as • urinal, but he did not remember having done so. Mr. Hancock, the load inspector of nuisances. said that be had visited the plaintiff's yard, sod he never saw any thing in the yard more than would be there in the usual course of business. In 1862 there was a complaint from 8, Craig's-court, as to the boiling of lobsters in the yard, and the smell of them whilst cooking. Then were also rotated out to him on that occasion a few cabbage leaves that might have been in the yard 24 hours. He should my that the quantity was not half a bushel. There were also there a few fish baskets. The plaintiff was summoned before the magistrate at Bow-street in 1862, in reference to his copper, and before the magistrate it was arranged that there should be a hood to it. Cross-examined—Twelve months after there sou a com plaiot from some parson living at 8 Otis's-mart Mr. Bails, the medical officer of health, said that sines the summons at Bow.ssreet be bad received oomplainte of the yard from Craig's-court, and he had vented the place on those occasions, and also upon others when there hod bees on complaint. Except the effluvia from the shell fish, he never experienced anything that would warrant him is giving notice to the vestry of a !miasmas to be remedied.

Cole appeared for the plaintiff, and lir. Digby Sey mour , for the defendant. . The rilfeOdant was a gold chain maker, kyles at Saiosbnry read, Ilkeston, sod on the 24th June last, Mrs. Chase was walking quickly pest the defendant's house, and trod upon the iron plate covering the hole leading to the owl cellar, when it pre way under her, and rolled along the pavement. Her foot went through the hole, and both the ankle and have were sprained, sad the ligaments of the knee joint were a good deal hurt. Shs remained in bed for three weeks afterwards, and even at the pre- sent time she felt very noesiderable inconvenience from the hurt. Mrs. Chase, in her evidence, said that the defendant came out of the house while she wee sitting by the imilinss in great pale, and picked up the iron plate and put it in its place, without making any inquiries as to her in jury or offering any assistance. Mr. Chase also said t►at when he called on the defendant to compl►in, the defendant said it was the d—d servant's fault. Mr. D. Seymour, in answer to his lordship, said his &s -hore was that the plate was fastened with a rope in the ordinary way. Yr. Justice Willem said that that would be no defence, be cause a penou having a plate like that in question was bound to use efficient means to ensure safety, if such were reasonably to be had. The defendant. however, desired to be examined, sad he described the mode in which the plate was (*Atoned with a rope. The plate never came away, but only slipped a little on one side. He sent his niece out to Mrs. Chase to in- quire how she was, and she said she was not much hurt, and would be right in a few initiates. He denied what Yr. Chase had said in reference to its being the servant's fault. A verdict was entered foe the plaintiff for 20!. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. —DEc. G. SECOND COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Martin and a Common Jury).

The defeudant disputed his liability on the ground that be took the shares on the understanding that the contract with refs:woe to the building to be used in the City should be given to him, but that agreement had not been carried net. - The jury. however, ultimately returned a verdict for the plainttlf for the 301. 12e. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—WiNcazsTza, Dec. 6. (Mon Mr. Baron Charm*Ll.) A German mariner, named Adolph Bjornaen ' amid 22, was iodicted for the wilful murder of Heinnett Leonhard Paul B:lumina. cm the high saes, oo the 21at Juno, 1864. The prisoner was described in the calendar es able to reed and write well. The court was crowded throughout the day, the trial exciting greet public interest An interpreter was sworn to moist in delineating the evidence. Mr. Prldesux. with Mr. Montague Bere ' appeared for the prosecution ; sod Mr. T. t; UMW watched the case on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Pridesux. in Maim the case to the jury, said the Gustav Adolph was registered in the name of a gentleman named Rader, who was the solo owner thereof. Hr. Rehder was a German by birth, bat he had received letters of denizatioe, and therefore was enti tled to be the °woer of a British ship. Sint* the prose cution bad been commenced a doubt bad Wm rll/ sod whether the ship was such a morel as to give this court jurisdiction and hn considered it due to the anion., that this point should be mentioned. He should agree to put io the agreement upon which the doubt had arises. There was a menthol* arm at Hoag Ken, named Ehlers, and they wee also Germ**, and it would appear that the sh originall belonged to them, but they bad parted wi th their rig ht of proprietorship to a certain extent, to the Yr. Rehder, but were liable to bear 6-7ths of the lose of the venture. The ship in question sailed from the port of London on the 7th Hay last, bound foe Hoog Kong, and wee making for the moth coedit of South America, in order to retch the trade winds and enjoy the benefit of the glorious run there to be obtained. The prisoner was the mood mate on board the ship. and the unfortunate deceased was the muter. There were three of the crew who had been wet over to this country fogies midis*, as witnesses for the mown, named Petencia. who was the first mate, Rattea, one of the sailor*, sod a may named Alton, the ship's atewanl. With the evidence of these men he should en deavour to prove the following facts Os the night of the 21st of Jut* the first watch, running front about Ito 12 THE EXPREK WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 7, 1364. I o'clock, fell to the lot of the prisoner. The first mate, Peterson, had bad his watch, and had turned into his berth. During tun prisoner's watch it was hie a uty to be on the deck, hut, abort o'clock, Peterson was • iurlad 1 .• a noise. lie Liiely jumped • ut of his Leith, and keaieg out be saw the prieuser in .se captain's cabsa with • pistol in his band. The primmer pointed the pistol at Peterson on wiciug him, and tried to tire it off, bat the weapon missed try, a.d to mischief resulted on that OCCOMiOO. The first mate then rushed on deck in a stets of feu and excitement, saying, •• I cannot tblsk lb hat has happeeed to oar second mate. but he has tried to shout me." The prisoner thee came on deck, and walked up and down io an excited state, and on some of c Le sailors asking him what was the matter, replied to the effect "that the old man (meaning the captain) Ills been trying to stnks me." The ciptun at this time came up, and called out, " Where's the wooed mate; have 3uu boo d him!" The prisoner upon that tarried round, and pointing his pistol at the captain tired at his heed, and the captain then NIL Pnsoneesgain went below, and the rest of the crew became much alarmed, as they on their part had no arms or ammunition on deck, and they heard the prisoner kindle d arms below. In the meantime Alice, the steward, had tendered artistahce to the wounded captain, still lying on the deck by the compeniou ladder, and bathed he had with vinegar sad water, but he laid there all but dead. He several times opeocd his mouth, se At trying to speak, but he could not utter a single word. Alton induced two of the crew to assist in carrying the wounded captain forward, and in three-quarters of an hoar after he had bees shot the no. happy man died. On examining his body, sot only were two bullet wounds found in his bead, bat his right urn had been banked or cut nearly off, as if by a hatchet or some heavy weapon of that tried, and there were other wounds about his body. The crew remained in great slum, and the prisoner did not again come up until half-put two o'clock in the morning. He then brought op with him some of his clothing, end some provisions, and other things. He carried a double-barrelled gun in one band, a double barrelled pistol in the other, and had a dagger stuck in his belt. He ordered the crew to pet hie things in the lifeboat, and he then got into the boat himself. He was very impatient at the slow lowering, and he cut away the tack ling and the boat dropped in the water, and the prisoner then went off. This was on the 21st Jane, bat it was mid winter in the southern hemisphere. After the ship had been left by the prisoner it was found he bad left one of his guns upon the deck, and Alton took it up and fired at the pri soner in the boat. The prisoner fired in return several times. but no mischief ensued on either aide. The crew found the ammunition was gone, sad the captain's gold wateh end the prisormes watch were also mining. They saw blood in the captain's cable, and marks of violence on the ceiling and on the sofa, which had been damaged by a hatchet or toma hawk. They foetid • hatchet near the companion ladder, which ought to have been and had been in the prisoner's cabin. The next day the ship again came rip with the prisoner in the boat, and fired on him, they having in the meantime made some bullets, and they succeeded in making his bat leak. They then put out the jolly-boat and seized the prisoner, brought him on board, and put him in irons. The first mate took the command after the captain's death, and proceeded to Pernambuco, where a naval court was held for the purpose of an inquiry, and the result was the send ing of the prisoner and the witnesses to England, in order that be might be tried on their evidence. Mr. Gun°e addressed the jury for the prisoner, arguing the general absence of motive, and that the injury was the result of •quarrel is the cabin, sad that it was done without premeditation, in the heat of blood, and in self-defence, and was therefore no more than manslaughter. The jury retired, and were abseat about as hour, when they returned with a verdict of ManalaugAter. The Judge reserved his sentence, subject to a reference to the Court of Crown Cases Reserved, as there were some points of law raised as to the precise ownership of the ship. The prisoner, who had preserved a calm demeanour throughout, and was of most respectable appearanoe in dream and manners, was then removed. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—STArroaD, Dxc. 6. (Moro Mr. Ja•Mos 8y!...) Charles Brousih, 24, miner, was arraighed, charged with the wilful it,urd«r of George Walker, on the 27th of Jol7 last, at Biguall Hill, in the parish of Audley. Mr. Boughey and Mr. Bradley were for the prosecution , and the prisouer haying engaged no counsel, Mr. Pritchard wee instructed by the court. Deceased wee 74 yews of age, sad wee • brokeadown farmer, living in • but on the verge of • farm of same L 1) acres, which he had at one time held for many years as tenant. He had well•to-do friends, but his hermit Ide was his own selection, from choice and not from neces sity. He slept upon • rude couch, with hay for his bed, and eoltiveted the pleas of wires land on which his hovel stood. On the night before the murder a relative had given him half-a-crown ; and • friend named John Noroop, a labourer, spent some time with him in his rude homy Deceased ap- Credto be in his usual robust health. In completion of promine, Noroop resumed his visit on the following evening between six ford seven o'clock. Noroop thee foiled the dreamed lying • corpse in trout of his but, with his skull frightfully fractured. His has was also much disfigured, and there was • large quantity of blood both within and without the but. Two 'meths before, • gamekeeper mauled theory bartered so old watch with the deceased, who wrote down the number (45,17?) with chalk on • beam in his hovel. This watch was goes, and there was no money on the old man's person, or in his wretched teoeturot. A drecription of the watch was con. veyed to the pawnbrokers, at Tuamtall, and at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon of Friday, the 29th of July, the prisoner offered it in pledge at the shop of Mr. Hahne, of thet tows, which is only three or four miles from the scene of the murder. He was detained, and at eight, when in custody, he seat for • policeman and merle the following confes sion :—" 1 took the watch from the old mw. I had a quarrel with my father. He (the father) struck me, and I left the house and went to the hut to get • sleep. The old man came to the door, but would not let me in. I struck him with a piece of wood on the heed. I don't know if I knocked him down. He began to call out, and 1 bit him spin. I then struck • match, and took the watch from him ; it was about mid- night. I did it myself. Nobody was with me. Is he dead'" This confession he repeated iu satsumas to &pith°, sergeant, after he had been cautioned. The prisoner is suffering from diabetes, and is evidently in nearly the lost stage of that wasting disease. He had to sit whilst in the dock, and Lad to be helped out of the court by the gaoler several times during the trial. The jury bound the prisoner Guilty of wilful murder, sod, Mr. Justice Spies sentenced him to death in the usual form. - 11te prisoner did not display much emotion at the result, his disorder seeming to hare made him so thoreughly AZ in valid that he was unable to duvet his attentmo for any length of time to what was going on. quenees of her going to prison ought not to be taken into coosideratioa. There was no doubt eke would be degraded thereby, but when she came out o pi ‘1.113 she ought to nuke up her mind to pursue so hottest row , ' of life for the future. He senteoned her . be ituprtti....d sod k.pt to hard labour for twelve ntonti.e. TIM TM/ Johnson, 36, wearing the Crimean medal, was indicted for maliciously wounding Elizabeth Booner, and committing grievous bodily harm. The proescutrix said she lived in Charlton-Arad, Easton road, and on the lot of December, at 25 minutes past 8 in the evening, she wax walking aloes Mindleswetreet, Somers-towo, when the prisoner, who was a complete stranger to her, came up in front of her and attempt.] to her throat with a knife. He said that he had got ber then. Witness bid a pared iu her hand, which put up to protect her throat, when he cut her tioger with the knife to the bone. It was a long table knife be had in bee hand, and be attempted to cut her across the throat with it. Wittier said, "Oh, Ood, what have you done?' when the prisoner immediately replied, "Oh, Christ, what have I dope! I thought you were my wife ; I want to cut her throat.' Police-constable 163 S said be took the prisoner into custody. The jury foetid the prisoner Guilty. The Assistaat-Judge said it was so *eliding thing to sentence a man who bad faithfully served his country, for he had gone into the street with an intention of stablinng his wife, but had mistaken the prapeautria for her. Most provi dentially she had this bundle, or he would have bees fried fora most clear cased murder. He should send him toe place where he would be kept from drink, and when he came out of prison he would advise him to avoid drink as if it was poison. He esetenced him to nine months' hard labour. THE POLICE COURIS. ithiiirsv iii. . . _ Frederick Guy, • constable of the X division of the metropolitan police, stationed at Rotherbithe, was placed at the bar before Mr. Woolrych, for final examination, charged with robbing several other constable of wearing apparel and other property under very disgraceful circumstances. Mr. Branford, th e superintendent of the division, attended to prosecute by direction of the Commissioners of Polioe, lied stated that the prisoner was • single man, and had been ably six weeks in the force when he was detected. He was stationed at the liotherhithe subdivision, and lodged with other single men io the station•house there, and before • week had passed he commenced his depredations. At last the robberies became so numerous that he made inquiries, and about a week ago the prisoner was given into custody. Several eases were then gone into. Mr. Superintendent Branford informed his worship that there were about ten other cases of a similar nature, but he presumed the evidence he had produced was sufficient for the ends of justice. He understood the prisoner wished to be dealt with under the Criminal Justice Act. - lii:ifoolrych remarked it would be unnwerary to ermine any more witnesses, as there was quite sufficient evidence for trial. He asked the prisoner whether he pre ferred being tried by him to going to the seetions for trial. If the former he must plead guilty. Mr. Woolrych accepted his plea of guilty to two distinct charges, and told him that his sou not an ordinary cue of felony. He sou a os-constable, sworn in to protect the property of the public, but as soon sa be obtained that posi tion, be commenced to rob his comrades. For the first offence be sentenced him to six months, and the second three months, making altogether nine months, hard labour in Wandsworth house of correction. THAMES. William Thomas, a lad about 17 years of age, was charged with usaultiog Eliza Prebend, • married woman, of No. 1, Bidden-street, Canniog.town, Laser. The complainant, who bed a bandage round her head, said she was walking home with her husband at 1 o'clock that morning, and were close to the iron bridp over the Lea river,erhach divides the two counties of Middlesex and FANS, when she saw the prisoner, who was intoxicated, and a men in his company approaching in • contrary direction. The Prisoner threw his arms round her neck, sad she said to him, '• Get away, you drunken fool," and pasha him. He im mediately struck her on the eyelwith bin clenched Li, and knocked her down. The blow rendered her insensible. When she recovered the prisoner was in custody. At the request of the magistrate the woman uncovered her eye, which was much swollen and discoloured. Mr. Paget raised his hands , and laid—That is the most frightful black eys I ever saw in my life. Are you in much Witness--I Witness—l am in great pain, indeed, sir. The husband of the complainant, and Butler, • polios con stable. No. 80 K, confirmed the statement of Mn. Prehaed in every particular. The prisoner said he was a lighterman's apprentice. He did not know that he struck the woman. If be did he was sorry for it. He hoped the magistrate would look over the matter and not punish him. Mr. Paget—Not punish you, indeed. A young roman striking that respectable woman quietly walking home with her husband. This is • monstrous thing. If I were not to visit this case with severe punishment the public streets would be impassable for women. It is a vary bad cans indeed. For this brutal and unprovoked assault I motels* you to be imprisoned for two months and kept to bard labour. George Thomas, a rough-looking boy, not quite IS years of age, and who was described as a striker at an iron factory, was charged with indecently assaulting Amelia Harrison, a married woman, of So. 2, Nelson-street, Bromley. The complainant said she was pasting over Bromley-bail fields on Monday night, at half-put 10 o'clock, when the prisoner came behind her, suddenly raised her clothes with one band and with the otter seized her person in • grossly improper manner. In answer to questions by the mama. trite the witness most reluctantly described the infamous outrage committed upon her, and said the prisoner hurt her. She warn five months advanced in pregnancy. The prisoner denied touching the woman at a►l, and said she hit him on the lip. On her denying this and the magic trate intimating that he must commit the prisoner for trial for an indecent assault, he began crying, admitted his guilt, asked forgiveness, and requested that his mother should be sent for. Mr. Paget said be should not send for the primped"' mother. He consulted with Mr. Per, the chief clerk, and mid he had been in doubt whether he should not mama the prisoner for trial at the sessims. The prisoner was • grossly profligate young blackguard, and must be punished for laying his hands on • woman so iodematly. He sen tenced him to be imprisoned two months and kept to hard labour. ANOTHER Flag IN THE Crrr.—Tmat evening a fire broke out in the warehouses of Mesas. Bennock and Co., silk mercers, &c., No. 80, Wcodutreet, at the corner of Silver-street, Clisapside. The premier in question were of great extent, and eciotained many thousand pounds worth of property. A number of engines were soon on the spot, and the flames were extinguished before they had acquired any strong bold. A vast number of rolls of silks, however, have been either totally destroyed or considerably damaged. MURDER AND SUICIDE AT SL.-I.IV&APOOL, TUESDAY EtTNlNG.—Another dreadful double murder has been commitWd on the high seas. By the receipt in Liver. pool this afternoon of a telegram from Queenstown we learn that early this morning the ship Akio" under command of Captain Walker, had pot into that port for orders. The captain at once went on shore, and communicated with the authorities in reference to • fearful tragedy which had occurred on board his ship. It appears that on the night of the 2nd November, at half-past tine o'clock, two of the crew (Frenchmen) attacked the chief mate and the mrpen. ter, and brutally murdered them. The captain, who was in his cabin asleep at the time, was aroused by the noise out side, bat before he could get out of his cabin be was attacked by one of the murderers, who struck him a desperate blow on the head with • hammer. A scale then ensued, during which the captain managed to get to the forecastle, where he called upon the crew for help. On mustering the men, he at once proceeded to the after part of his chip, when he found the dead bodies of his chief oßese and carpenter dreadfully mutilated. A march was then made for the murderers, who were discovered in the rigging. Seeing that escape on their part was hopeless, one of them deign ratelT jumped into the sea and was drowned, whilst the other, determined on doing as muck damage as possible before he submitted to be put in irons, had a desperate fight with the remainder of the crew. lie wee eventually secured, but such were the nature of the injuries he sus tained in the fight that be died shortly afterwards. The cause of this tragedy is at present unknown, but no doubt an inquiry will take place into the affair. The Alciope was bound from Demerara, which port she left on the 11th October, to Queenstown for orders. THE BAKEHOUSES ACT,—Yesterday afternoon a deputation from the Operative Bakers' Vigilance Commit tee waited by appointment upon Sir George Grey at the Home-offios, and laid before him statement. showing the complete failure of the recent act passed for the better regulation of bakehouses in the metropolis, and with the view of obtaining its strict enforcement. The deputation consisted of Messrs. T. Martin, H. Webb, E. Slakemors, and W. Pidgeon, secretary, and were accompanied by Mr. Layard, M.P., and by Mr. Gedbold, late inspector coder the act for the Islington district. Sir George Grey, after hearing several members of the deputation, said the vestries were bound to carry out the act, and if the deputation would draw up a written statement detailing the districts where the act was inoperative, the names of those employers vio- lating the act, and the names of the parish authorities who had neglected to put the act in force, such statement should have his most serious attention with a view to remove the evil complained of.

The inquest on the body of Caroliue Sophia Colborne, who was murdered in bar own bowie at Shirley, near Soathamptom on Saturday evening, was opened at the Shirley Hotel on Monday afternoon. before J. H. Todd, Faq., the county coroner. The horrible 000urrerme has created intense excitement in Southampton and nei i ihbour. hood. I Frederick Colborne said—l am a plumber and painter, • and live in Union-road, Shirley. I shall be 24 years of age in January next. The dammed was my wife, sad we lived very happily together. Nothing unpleasant had ever taken plane between us with respect to Broomfield. I had men him once before. After my wife I.ls Mrw Onslow's she received two or three letters from him, bat wrote mat j told him that all corresmoodence most coney as she had made it up with me. In January last he came to Shirley ' and went to her father's house, she having met him as be ' got out of the 'hue. A day or two afterwards we mode it up, and mutually agreed to get married as soon as possible. The deceased told me that. Broomfield had come uoexpec- Sadly, and made harm offer of marriage, which she declined. She did not know at that time that he was a married man. ' From that time our acquaintance went on pleura_ ,tly sad we were married on the Bth of May last. Tbe deceased sever sew him again sari Saturday semis& when I was informed by Mrs. Powell, of the Shirley Hotel, that some one had been inquiring for ma or my wife ; and from the description given I thought directly it was Broomfield. I went home se quickly as possible, and there saw Broomfield I sitting by the window in the book room. My wife was standing at the opposite side of the table, mar the fireplace. She said, " This r Mr. Broomfield, Fred. ;" and he said, " Well, sir, there has bees a little difference between Carry and me." I replied, " Don't mention it—it's all past, and let it drop." Broomfield then said, " 1 came in to ask your wife fora cup of tea—l era going to America." I told him to draw up to the fire, and added, " Whatever there is in the house you are welcome to." At my request the de oared cooked • flat-fish for him, and I remarked that as she had to get his tea ready, I would go and pay the net, which I accordingly did, and having made a call or two, m turned home shortly after 7 o'clock. Broomfield was still in the some room with my wife. He was sitting on the right of the fireplase, and she was sitting near the window, levities. _She told me that he would like a little brandy, and I fetched half • pint, some of which be drank with his tea. I commenced smoking, and fetched a clean clay pipe for him, which he smoked. Mrs. Wing had just . preverialy ware up, and I asked her indoors. My wife irs& " I most go out, Fred." I replied, "I know you must, but if you write down what you want, I can get it." Broomfield said, "If she goes out you can stop and smoke with me." My wife remarked that she could Dot go out slope, sod I told her that I would not let her do so. I then told Broomfield to make himself as comfortable as he could while we ware away, and he said he was going to ask me to allow him to May there. Mrs. Wing, my wife, and myself then left the house together, leaving him there smoking. As we were going out of the gate my wife said to me, jocularly, " Hs says he's going to die for me, Fred.," and while we were out she said, " I Wink he is cricked—l don't like hie meaner, but don't much mind it." We returned borne about nine o'clock, when my wife said "We have got all we want except some potatoes and off, will you go sod get them r I replied that I would. She followed me to the door and said, "Don't be gone loos, Fred; I should like to get him out of the way as soon as I Gan." I replied, " I won't be long," and left her at the (root gate. She turned and went in, and that was the last time I saw her alive. I was gone about ten minutes, and when I got back to the gate I saw Anne Wheeler. who said to me, "Oh, Mr. Colborne—Mr. Colborne." I went to the front door, and there saw Mrs. Wing. She said, "Oh, your poor wife, Mr. Colborne." I heard no more, bat rushed through the house to the back door, where I saw my wife in Mrs. Harris's arms, dead. I took her up and carried her into the room, where I put her down. Mr. Wheeler had a pistol is his hand. I said, "Seed for a doctor." Broomfield was lying on the Boor, and I did not Me him move or bear biro speak. I thought be was dead. I took my wife and carried her upstairs. When I came down there wee a doctor on either side of Broomfield, and as I saw he was not deed I sprang at him and caught him by the throat, exclaiming, " You villain." The witneis;wio bad throughout eodeavonred to restrain his emotions, here burst into a flood at tsars, and, address. Mg the Coroner, said, " Have yon dose with me, sir? I can say no more." He then lett the inquest-room crying bitterly, and evidently suffering great mental agony. Mrs. Ann Broomfield said she was the wile of George Broomfield, who limo at No. 7, South Moltou-street, Gros venor-square, Loodon. He west to Old Alreetord as butler to Min Onslow in October, 1863, and remained there till March, 1864. Since then be had been ill. sad had lived at home with witness. She lest saw him on Saturday morning, when he left home between twelve and Coe. He wan then as mad as a March hue. During the last nixie months ee. veral doctors had attended upon him, and had desired her to keep him moving about. He had been in such • nervous state that she was afraid to trust him alone, and the doctor said he thought she would have a peat deal of trouble with lum. They had been married sir years last February. He had told her upon returning from Aline ford that there was • little attachment between him and Miss Wing, but nothing more was said about it. He was about 46 or 47 years of age. Witness did not know that he intuited to go to Shirley when he lett home. He said he should return between seven and eight. She saw him on Sunday at the Southampton Infirmary, when he seemed very penitent, and said, "I most have been mad when I did it." SergeantCheyney cirposed that be remained with Broom. field until the medical gentlemen directed hie removal to the infirmary. Before his removal witness 'eked what he had been rot with, and ltr. Wheeler hooded him a five. barrelled pistol. Three of the banal' appeared to have been recently climbs:fed. The other two were loaded with powder and ball and capped. Broomfield requested him to telegraph to Miss 'tiddler, of 7, Bishop-terrace, Newingtoo peen, Islington, and also to Mr. Brown, 47, Great Maryleborstreet. Portland-place, the latter of whom he said knew the whole of big affairs. Up= him were found • gold watch and chain, a pin, a finger ring, SL lOs. gold, one lit . Hank of Boland not;, 9s. in silver, aid 4d. in copper, together with the bitten which hare already been published. He told wittier he was sorry for what he had done, and that be did it for love. At the infirmary on the following aftersooo Broomfield said he wired to make a statement, ad the following was then taken down in writing by wirer: —"I am guilty of shooting Caroline Sophia Colborne. wife of Frederick Colborn, 170i011. street, Shirley, a Saturday, Dee. 3rd, 1864, but was not in • sound state of mind. The letter found ou me I wish to be sent to my wife. It was written by the deer creature, Caroline Sophia Colborne, in the cottage at her own boar and if you stay over to-day (Suede)/ I bor. lota so tell you. Sergeant Cheyor, after lam gone tell my wife I should never have erne to this if I had not gone to Alresford. I blame to re but myself." Earl' of the. statemeois wee Mined, "George Broom field.° Evidence wu then given by Drs. Weston and Nott as to the nature of the fatal wound sustained by the demand, who was stated to have been seven months 'dammed is pregnancy, and also aa to the injury iallicted by Broomfield upon himself, after which the inquiry was adjourned until the following day. The impost wu resumed yesterday afternoon. when a letter was reed from Mr. Lancelot Brown, of Great Karyle hooe-street, stating that on Saturday afternoon, about hall-peat one, Broom fi eld called upon him, and borrowed 10/., for which he gave an I 0 11. After he had obtained the money be bunt out ening, and hastened away. Mr. Brown did all he could to detain him, when he said that he had broken his poor wife's heart and his own, and that he was mad. He then bade him good bye, and said be wee off to iOlOlOll 4 remarking, "I have left you to manses all my affairs. ' The only additional evidence wu that of Polioe-mostable Brown, of the Heats oonstabulary, who stated that he had charge of Broomfield at the infirmary daring a pan of San. day, when the prisoner said to him. „ Thu is a ad affair at Shirley, shit it r Winans replied that it was. Broom. field then said, " I suppose it is all the talk at Shirley now. How's the poor man r Witness asewered that he bad not sees him, upon which Broomfield said, "Had the woman time to speak after I abet her " Winne, mid he believed she bad not. Broomfield then stated, "I !asked her if she would go to America with me. She said, 'No and then I said to her, 'We must die together.'" He seemed to be perfectly mesible and collected, and told witness that he wu not in an much pen as he bad been. ":i;; in his evidence on the previous day that when he left his wife at the gate, the last time of seeing her alive, she said to him, " If I had known I would never have let Lim into the house." The Coroner then went through the endows remarking upon its conclusive character, cad the horrible nature of the crime. After about five minutes' consultation, the jury returned a verdict of "Wilful Murder against George Broomfield." Superiutendeat SillOlllllA, of the Hants constabuLu7, was requested by the oorooer to prosecute. but be positively re fused to do ea, and the polio@ were ordered to leave the room. Mr. Henry Junes Wing. the father of the deceased, visa then bound over to pimento. This prisoner therefore stands committed for trial on the coroner's warrant at the neatassises at Wier-boater. The report of the death of the murderer, forwarded to us on Monday night, does not seem, by the above proceedings, So have been well•foonded. COMPENSATION CLAIMS AGAINST THE MITAO POUTAS Ranwae.—Yerterday at the Lord Mayor's Cour% before Mr. Commissioner Kerr and a special fury, two arm. =tire cases against the Metropolitan Iteileey were la the first, "Buck v. the Metropolitaa in which Ms. Serjeaot Parry and Mr. H. JSMOS appeared for the *kismet, a collar maker in Cradle-court, Redinces. street, the claim was upwards of 2,0001. After the ruse bad occupied some time, the jury by comsat of the parties awarded 7301. lo the seaport ease, " Pima r. the Metro politan Railway," the claim was 1,3301. Mr. H. James appeared for the claimant, a house furnisher, Finsbury pavement, where he only had an office, mod Mr. Lloyd (Mr. HoUway with him) for the company. It was exoplaiDed by Mr. Lloyd that this was as attempt to extort mow for a mare tenancy for a business which could be carried en as when in the osighbourbood. Mr. Commiserate Kerr LA it to the jury to say what compensation, if any, the etainmeti should receive, sad they gave 2504 MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Bobxe the Assiatant-Judge.) - • Annie Alexander , 19, very good-looking young woman, wee indicted for stealing 150 yards of lace, and other articles, vales 801., the property of Frederick Wootton litacroa, her master. Mr. itiontagu Williams appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Sleigh for the pnaoaer. Upoo being placed at the bar the prisoner pleaded guilty to the inclactineat. Mr. Montagu Williams said the prosecutor in this case was Mr. Frederick Wootton Llano:moo, carrying on busioees as court milliner, under the name of Madame Elise, in Re gent-street, and the prisoner was in his employment u shop woman. Sbe left in November, and from circumstances which afterwards came to Mr. Isaacson's knowledge be found that he had been robbed of property to the extent of 801. The prisoner was a respectable young woman, and the pro- secutor, believing that she had yielded to a sudden tempta tion, recommended her to the merciful consideration of the court: for he felt horrified at what might be her future life if she was subjected to the contaminating influences of a prison. There was a gentleman ready at once to take her into his service, who wee well acquainted with all the cir cumstances, and his application was that she should be given up to him, and that any property which was in the possession of the mother should be given up to the prosecutor. Mr. 111111C100, in answer to questions, said the prisoner bad been for five months in his service, and it war the prec• tic, of his house to take all the young women who might be sent to him from NW Bramwell's institution, in Marlins. roughstreet, which was an establishment of the highest respectability for the reception of young women from the country, until such time ae situations were obtained for them. They were there taken care of,aud with amusements they formed bible claws in the evening. The prisoner said she had come freni Mile Bramwell's, and as she brought with her references *blob he coseidered to be very satis factory, he offered to take her into his service as ahopwoman, his terms being two years, and a premium of 50 guineas. Finding, however, that her parents were in poor circum stances, he waived the premium, and took her i without for twelve months as a learner. He bad in his employment from eighty to ninety young ladies, and all except a few day workers slept in the house. She behaved very well, with the exception of showing no over-anxiety to go out with young meg. One evening a young person was waiting for Mir Alexander to go out with her for a walk, when he noticed this young woman wan wearing an article which he identified as belonging to him, and on his making her where she got it she said that it bad been given to her by Miss Alexander. The prisoner's box was exa mined, and a large quantity of articles were found, bat not sudicient to account for the whole of the property that bad been missed, there being still a deficiency, as far es the examination of the stock showed, of from 301. to 40/. He believed that mere vanity had induced the prisoner to take these things, for in her box was found the body of a dress most elaborately trimmed with lace and pearls, and more At for a countess than a person in business. This body of • dress was worn by the prisoner when • young man took her to • theatre. ._, The Ammutiat.Judge laid, whilst yielding all doe weight to what bad been said in favour of the prisoner, yet the court must do its duty to the public. In this case there was a total abeam of all those excuses on which the court was usually oppialed to for mercy, sad it appeared that she bad formed some improper monition with some person, which had led her into the habit of robbing her master. It tram clear from the evidence that she bad been doing this for some time, sad it was the duty of the court to mark its moss of km conduct ; and whatever might be the moor IRON LAST NIGHTS GAZE2'2'I. riArLs 0P roucrTo9 UM rumors rAirrtanazo TO as ORTAIJID AT THIC ofTICY OF TOR Mit TAGUITILAS, Como . or sumaurrcT, rAnoosaam.-origer.j _HANKROPTO. . hams RICHARDSON, Bei.endeo , Heut, miller, to a .rrender Dee. 19, at 11.

G. —For 'hi pi yarns there was a fair amount of Waimea iu the early part of the day, and the market opened strops at very extreme prices, bat on the report of • quieter market for cotton at Liverpool coming to hand (node:stood to be mused by sp. prehension of dearer money) there was perceptibly lies buoyancy. The extreme poem asked, and in some cases obtained in the momma, were scarcely obtainable towards the close of business. Prime were decidedly weaker at the does, with only a moderate business doing. The market for borne trade yarns was affected by the same muse. Ha. smear men, since the late panic, are disposed to watch the indications of the motley market more narrowly than under ordinary circumstances, and buyers of home trade you appeared to lack coofidenoe more as the day wore on, and business was shozlied. The rather higher prices asked tended to prevent mach business being done. In the cloth market we Mire bad a hardening tendency io prices ever since last Tuesday. Idsanfacturen had be e . obliged to advance their prices in proportion to the high eaten of cotton, but we have beard of few merchants du. posed to respood. The high rates had also again the effect of bringing 'into competition with manufacturers the resale lots which bad temporarily hem withdrawn. The result was that up to last niOt very little business was effected. This morning we beveled a more Liberal inquiry for cloth, bat the high rata necessitated by the advance of cotton on Saturday, and yesterday, to • ling extent have stopped business. There have been some operations, but only of moderate sztent. In yarns the business was under an average.
