THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1866. • *parting inttiligenft. .NEWSLIRKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. WEDNESDAY. The sport on Newmarket Heath to-day was characterised by every feature of an "off " occasion, the fields through out the afternoon being generally of a moderate descrip tion, and the running of very little interest. During Tleseday night the weather underwent another great =and rain fell early this morning, but although the had a threatening appearance, the rain kept off. In pant of attendance also there was a slight diminution. 'Me demonstration which took place on Tuesday night in favour of Chepstow was renewed this morning as soon as there was a meeting at the rooms, and as little as 7 to 1 was accepted about him. This had the effect of slightly depressing the next favourites, Mathilde and Randamente. The latest quotation, however, on the im portant handicap" will be found below. The only incident of the day eallhng for any remark was the sweets of lintiernake over Leybourne and Stratheonan in the Vjghteenth Triennial, and his subsequent defeat by Knight of the Crescent, who took • seven maiden allowance. This advantage enabled the biter to to win very easily by three-quarters of a length. Savernake not only suffered defeat from " The Knight," but was beaten for second place by Lothario, and consequent upon this performance the baron's horse came into immediate demand for the Cesarewitch, for which event, if this running be porrect, he must have an immense chance, but Baveruake is probably " settled " teethe season, and his form cannot be tended upon .

COLLISION ON THE CALEDONIAN RLILWAY.-011 Tuesday night a collision occurred on the Caledonian Railway between the stations of Abington and Laming ton, fortunately unattended with loss of life, although several persons were injured, and a considerable amount of damage was done to the rolling stock of the company. So far as we can learn, the circumstances of the accident were as follows. A pilot engine, which bad been on the main line at Abington, was taken into a siding to clear the rails for the limited mail, which leaves Carlisle for Edin burgh at 5.30 p.m. The mail was a short time late when it passed Abington, and the pilot engine was driven out of the siding at Abington on to the main line immediately after the limited mail had Feuded ; but while this operation was proceeding, the ordinary train from Elvanfoot to Car stairs, due at Abington at 7.10, came up, and ran with some force into the pilot engine. The stoker of the passenger train was much cut about the face, and several of the passengers were slightly cut and bruised. The pilot engine and tender were thrown off the line, and were much smashed—the line being in consequence blocked up. Workmen were immediately procured, and the re moval of the obstructions to the traffic was at once proceeded with. The first train from the south, due at Captain at 8.25 ' and at Edinburgh at 9.10, was delayed for nearly two hours , and even then the train had to be run from Abington to Lamington on the up line. It had not yet been ascertained through whose fault the accident occurred. It was fortunate that the collision hap pened at a time when the passenger train was about to stop, for had the train been going at full speed past Abington the eonsequencee would have been fearful.— Seaman.

(llcfore Mr. Serjeant Dowling, Deputy-Assistant-Judge.) Eliza Jones, 19, was indicted for sf...ling purse, and the sum of 41. 195., the monies of John Dixon, from his person. On the night of Saturday, the Ist September, the prosecutor was passing along a street at the east end of the town when he was accosted by the prisoner, who took hold of his arm and endeavoured to induce him to go with her, which he refused. He had a purse in his pocket safe at the time containing his money, but shortly afterwards he missed it, and charged the prisoner with stealing it, but she denied having stolen it. The prisoner was described by the prosecutor, and afterwards was apprehended by police-constable William Wells, 687 X. and on being charged with the robbery, she said she bad no money about her. The constable, however, saw projection from her cheek, and found the money in her mouth. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and Mr. Scrjeant Dowling serts• -9d her to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for thre oaths. James Thomas, 18, sou - ,dicted for stealing a watch, value 41., the prolerty of Itichard Whitley, from his person. The prosecutor is a sawyer, living at No. 2, James street, Old-street, and between nine and ten o'clock on the night of the 10th of September he sou in Com mercial-street, where he met the prisoner and another mac, and one of them snatched his watch from his pocket. The watch fell to the ground, and the prisoner picked it up. He was pursued by the prosecutor, and he gave him into the charge of Edward Newell, 46 H, who took the prisoner back to the prosecutor, and found the watch on him. _ . . The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Serjeant Dowling sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve months. Henry Harvard, 20, shopman ; William Hunter, 24, gardener ; Maria Turner, 26, servant ; and Jane Taylor, dressmaker, were indicted for stealing two gold chains and a quantity of wearing apparel, value 701. an upwards, the property of John Butler, and a quantity of wearing apparel and other articles, value 701. and upwards, the property of Robert Sampson, in the dwelling-house of the said. John Butler, with whom the prisoner Turner lived as servant. Mr. Poland and Mr. Taylor prosecuted; Mr. G. J. Grif fiths (instructed by Mr. T. Croker, from the office of Mr. F. A. Foggo) appeared for Hunter ; and Mr. Collins for Hayward. The prisoners Turner and Taylor pleaded guilty. The jury, after a short consultation, found them Guilty. Turner was sentenced to penal servitude for seven years, and Taylor, Hunter, and Hayward to penal servitude for five years. (Before Mr. Payne.) John Ward, 54, labourer, was indicted for stealing a table cloth and other articles, value 7a., the property of Mary Mapleson. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. The prosecntrix, a widow, living at 7, Robereadmildings, Pimlico, said the articles the prison .m was charged with stealing were lying on the drawers in her room. The pri soner came to her and offered some books for sale, and in doing so he pressed his arm over the bundle of clothes. He told a plausible tale about his having been in the Indies, and written his whole life, which tempted the pro secutnx to look at a book he offered to her. She would not purchase it, and he backed out of the room. Another lady who was sitting in the room noticed the prisoner shafts/A the linen from the drawers, and take it away with the books. A constable was communicated with, and the prisoner was given into custody. The jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour. John Fairelough, 25, labourer, was indicted for assault ing Mary Ann King, and occasioning her actual bodily harm. The prosecutrix had been cohabiting with the prisoner, and on the 13th of August they quarrelletL The prisoner struck her several times with his fists about the face, and made it quite black and blue. He knocked her down and kicked her in the ribs and on her face. She went to see him in the House of Detention, and he then promiaed not to do it again. Elizabeth Browning was with the prosecutrix when the prisoner ill-treated her. Sbe corroborated the prosecu trix's testimony. He knocked her down, and said he would do for her. Dr. Bees Llewellyn, a house surgeon of the London Hospital, proved the injuries the prosecutrix had received were of a serious nature. The wounds would not have been dangerous if erysipelas had not set in. She had been in great danger. The prisoner in his defence said he was aggravated by the prosecutrix, and did never use a knife. The point of the knife was broken off four or five weeks previous to this 1 occurrence. _ _ _ _ The jury found the prisoner duitty. The court thought the justice of the case would be met by ordering the prisoner to enter into his own recognisance, in the sum of 251. to be of good behaviour to all her Ma jesty's subjects for six months, and to be imprisoned for three onlontlar months. Charles iforriaon, 4(, described u s tailor, was indicted for stealing spoons and other articles, value 10s., the pro perty of William Ferris. The prisoner was found Guilty.

Having refused to pay for a portrait of her which had been taken her clothes and a pair of diamond earrings were seized, and she was turned out of the house. The defendant denied having any property belonging to the complainant. Police-constable Rosekilly, one of the summoning oMoers of the court, said when he called on the defendant by order of the magistrate to ask why she detained the com plainant's clothes, the defendant threw herself into a violent passion, said she would detain the property, and that she did not care for the magistrate. Mr. Tyrwhitt made an order for the delivery of the clothes and other property detained to the complainant, or 1.0/. to be paid to her. MARYLEBONK On Tuesday Mr. Tubbs made a statement to Mr. Mans- field with respect to the shocking condition in which he found a lunatic at No. 12, Dorchester-street, Blandford. square. His worship, upon Mr. Tubbs'a statement directed Mr. George Benson Baker, the district • officer of Christchurch, Marylebone, to go to the place and examine into the poor creature's state of mind and report to him. Mr. Tubbs, accompanied by Mr. Baker, now attended before Mr. Knox, who was sitting for Mr. Mans field, and presented Mr. Baker's report as follows : " According to an order made by your worship to visit and report the condition of Sarah Lee, at present confined in a tot ea roem at 12, Dorchester-place, Bland ford-square, I to state that I have twice visited the case an ascertained the foliowing fade Sarah Lee, the alleged lunatic is an orphan. Her parents have been dead 25 years. She is supposed to be 52 years of age, and has been under the custody of an uncle for 13 years. For the last 12 years she has been in the sole custody of her °eosin. No one else has visited her, and she has had no medical advice for 20 years. During the last four or five years she boa become totally blind. On entering the top back room where she is kept I was greeted by a yell and most abusive language. She seized hold of anything that came to hand and hurled it at me. I made a careful examination of her. She is suffering from curvature of the spine, deformed chest, extreme emaciation, and blindness. She crouches in the bed, pulls the towel round her, and howls. She has no night-dross, and is almost in a state of nudity. There are deep stains of blood about her. Her elbows are much scarred. The nail' of her fingers and toes have grown like claws. She refused to give any account of her self. The only intelligible words she uttered were tearful denunciations against her cousin. At last I told her that I had an order from the magistrate to report her case to him. She became calmer, and said, 'Then at last, after twelve years, lam of importance.' She at times refuses food, and at others eats most ravenously. She has been confined to her present room for twelve years, and has not once been dressed for that length of time. She has not had her lied made for two months, nor a change of linen for a longer period. There are no blankets, simply a coverlet. Near the bed, such as it is, is • table with a little drawer in it. On opening the drawer I found a few fish bones and two or three pieces of mouldy bread. The other food was neither suitable in quality nor quantity. There was half a bottle of currant wine in the room. No description can give an adequate conception of the condi tion of this woman. With respect to sanity, I have no hesitation in declaring her to be of unsound mind, and that she is not properly cared for.—G. Bffiieoy Bursa, DI. R. C. S." Mr. Tubbs, later in the day, attended, and added that, armed with his worship's order, he went with the medical gentleman to the address. A cab was in attendance with blankets to wrap the poor creature in. He had her at once removed, and she was thoroughly cleansed and placed in the females' infirmary, where at all events she would remain for a time. Mr. Knox said be was glad to boar such a satisfactory termination to so sad a cue. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. George Breen, a Custom-house agent, attended before the Lord Mayor to answer • complaint made against him at the instance of the Commissioners of Customs for having unlawfully made • false description of certain fish that was to be exported to Rotterdam, whereby he had in curred a penalty of 100 f. Mr. Beverly, the assistant soli citor to the Board of Customs, attended to support the complaint. The case stood over from • previous day, when it ap peared that on the 6th inst. the defendant presented at the Custom-house a declaration that a box of salmon was to be sent to Rotterdam by the Waterloo steamer. He was told that salmon could not be legally exported between the lit of September and the lit of February, and he took away the document, and subsequently brought another, which represented that the article he wished to have taken was a box of turbots, and he signed a declaration to that effect. In consequence of some suspicion that was enter tained, the Custom-house authorities directed the box to be opened, and it was found to contain salmon, and the present proceedings were taken against the defendant by order of the commissioners of customs, the object of the act of parliament being not only to prevent the falsification of customs documents, but also to protect the public from being damaged by the taking of fish out of season. The defendant declared that he had acted innocently in the matter, and he asked for time in order to produce a witness who, he said, would prove that he was told that the box contained turbots, and that he was entirely ignorant of its actual contents. . . Mr. Briggs, a fish salesman in Billinsgate, was now ac cordingly called as a witness by the defendant. He said that he told the defendant that the box con tained turbots, and he knew nothing of his having re presented that it contained salmon. He admitted, how ever, that he had requested the defendant to procure the necessary papers for the exportation of a box of salmon on the same morning, and that he told him the custom-house authorities would not permit him to do so unless he pro duced a certificate that the fish was taken within the legal time. The Lord Mayor told the defendant that he appeared to have brought a very unfortunate witness, for instead of disproving he appeared to have proved the ease against The defendant still declared that the fact was as he had stated, and said that all he got for the duty he had to per form was Is. 6d., and it was not likely he would have in curred a penalty of 100/. The Lord Mayor, having referred to the act of parlia ment, said that be found the penalty was 100/., and that he had no power to reduce it below 251. He asked Mr. Beverly what course the commissioners wished him to take in the matter. Mr. Beverly said that the Board of Customs felt it their duty to put tha law in force, as it was of very great im portance that official documents of this description should not be falsified. He therefore had to ask for a conviction. The defendant had memorialised the board upon the sub ject, but they did not consider the facts stated by him sufficient to warrant them in withdrawing from the prose cution. The Lord Mayor said as this was the ease he had no alternative but to order the defendant to pay a penalty of 25/., hut he thought it right to say at thr same time that he believed the defendant had acted innocently. . Mr. Beverley said be wouldreport theo pini on of the Lord Mayor to the commissioners, and be had no doubt they would give effect to the observations that he bad made. The defendant said he could not pay the money, and he was consequently ordered to stand committed until he should do so, or the commissioners of customs should interfere in the matter. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Lewis, brought a good looking young French girl into court, and made the fol lowing application. About iii months ago the young girl came to London, sad was lured into a French brothel in Lisle-street. The keeper of the brothel, after charging her extortionately for board and lodging and fleecing her visitors rapaciously, turned her out of doors after seizing all her clothes for an alleged debt for rent. He wished to know whether the magistrate would allow one of the con stables to go to the house in Lisle-street, to see if be could not Mace the brothel-keeper to give up some part of the clothes. - - -- ifr.Tyrwhitt dinsted Basallly, ass of the summoning officers, to see if he could do anything for the applioutt. itankilly went to lisle-street, and not being able to bring the parties to reason, a snmmoas was granted. Annette Castelle was yesterday charged on s summons with unlawfully detain' ing the property of Blanche Bardo. The ereeplainatit Mated that she vu introduced to the ANOTHER DEATH FROM DESTITUTION. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. John Humphreys, Middlesex coroner, held an inquiry at the Prince of Wales Tavern, Bethnal-green, respecting the death of a destitute man whose name was unknown. . . . . . . Police-constable Webb, 106 11, said that •t 2 o'clock last Sunday morning he found the deceased, a man of about 70 years of age, insensible and destitute in Slater-street, Bethnal-green. A gentleman who was holding him up said that he had found him lying on the pavement face downwards. He did not smell of drink, but witness re moved him to the station. Coroner—tinthetlsualpolice charge? Witness—On the charge of being drunk and incapable. He was bleeding from the nose. The police surgeon was sent for, and the deceased was at once taken to thellethnal green workhouse. James Lille y, gate porter at the workhouse, said that the deceased was brought to the workhouse on a stretcher. He was removed to the receiving ward, where he was stripped, cleaned, anti put in bed. The doctor saw him during the day, and at 6 o'clock in the evening he was removed to the ward for sick men. Mrs. Mary A. Easton, paid nurse at the workhouse, said that the deceased was very ill and insensible when he was brought into the sick ward. Witness had 133 patients under her. All the patients were men. She had one as sistant, named Dun. Coroner—You may be a good nurse, but you can't nurse 133 men. A juror—Sick people ought to have proper attention. There are too many patients for one nurse. She can't nurse them. _ _ Dennis Dun, an old man, 63 yeah of age, said that he was a pauper inmate of the workhouse. He was ill, had a pain in his side, and was not able to work. On Sunday evening he received the deceased man under his care. He had an assUtant. Coroner—Yes, Mrs. Easton has got you as an assistant, and you have another. The witness said that brandy was ordered for the de ceased. It was given by witness's assistant. Dr. John Karnett, medical officer at the workhouse, said that he saw the deceased at 5 o'clock. He was much emaciated, and was insensible. He closed his teeth when stimulants and medicine were being given to him. He never rallied, and after death witness made a post-mortem examination. The stomach and intestines were nearly empty and paler than natural. The blood was thin from privation. The lungs were diseased, and ex posure would accelerate his death. The immediate cause of death was extravasation of blood on the brain. A fall would produce the extravasation, and exposure to cold at night would cause hiiu to fall. Ho had probably been rambling about the streets all night, having no home to go to. He had fallen from sheer exhaustion. Police-constable Webb said the deceased looked as if he had lived on charity ; 24d. was found on him. The Coroner said that the workhouse bad done every thing that could be done for the deceased. Mrs. Easton, the paid nurse, who has charge of 133 patients, saw him, and handed him over to her assistant, and he handed him over to his. lie (the coroner) thought that between them all the deceased got his medicine and brandy. (Laughter.) The jury returned the following verdict :—" That the deceased unknown man died in the Bethnal-green Work house from extraysaation of blood on the brain, caused by a fail in the public street from exposure acting on a low vitality consequent on long privation." DEATH OF A COUNTY COURT JUDGE.—On Tues day morning Mr. Charles Harwood, judge of the County Court for the Folkestone circuit, died at his residence, 1, Bauvere-villas, Folkestone, after a long illness, which in ca ucitsted him from public business. THE BOILER EXPLOSION AT NORWICH.—Some particulars have already appeared of the alarming boiler explosion, which occurred on Tuesday afternoon at Messrs. Stark's dye works. Duke's-palace ' ..Norwith ; but a few fur ther details remain to be added. The explosion occurred during the workmen's dinner hour, or the results would have been still more serious. The works comprise a series of rooms leading into each other, the largest of which is known as the Black-office. Adjoining this stood the boiler, which was attended to by a man named James Payne. Several men were in the premises during the dinner hour, and nearly all these felt the consequences of the explosion. Portions of the premises may be said to have been literally reduced to heaps of rubbish; and as regards the boiler it was severed as completely along the edges of the middle plates as if it had been taken to pieces in a workshop. At the same time the explosion was not attended with any very loud noise, and it is stated that a man who was driv. ing within 50 pints of the spot at the time hardly heard any unusual sound at all. From beneath the rubbish in the Black-office the blackened and scalded re mains of two men named Daniel Taylor and James Taylor, each about 63 years of age, were extricated ; and after an interval of nearly two hours a third corpse, that of one Henry Clarke, was discovered in a dreadfully mangled condition. The man Payne, and four other persons named Henry Browne, John Rump, John Diann and Joseph Lemon were removed to the Norfolk and Norwich Hos pital. By direction of the town scrveyor (Mr. A.W. Dloraat) some portions of the shattered buildings were pulled down, end others shored up so as to guard against further dis asters. The premises were insured in the Royal and Nor wich Union Offices; the amount of damage which they have sustained is estimated at shout 6,8001. The city coroner (Mr. E. S. Bignold) commenced an inquiry on Tuesday evening, and the investigation, which will be of a searchng character, was adjourned for a week. The boiler which exploded was a comparatively new one, having only been at work about nine months. Norwich, Wednesday af ter noon.—Leamon, one of the sufferers taken to the hospital, died this morning, and the four other wounded men are also considered to be in a critical state.

One of the most notable results of the late changes in the military arrangements of India has been the vastly increased demand for transport. Lord Halifax, before leaving office, determined on the creation of a fleet of screw steamers, specially designed for this service, and yesterday the first of five sister vessels was launched at the dockyard of the Thames Ironworks, Ship building, Engineering, and Dry Dock Company, Blackwell. The weather, forming an unhappy contrast to that of the previous day, was not at all calculated to attract persons to the banks of the river, but there was nevertheless a large and distinguished company present. About half-past two the vessel began to move, and she glided majestically into the stream causing scarcely a ripple on the surface of the water. As she left the stocks, Viscountess Cranborne, wife of the Secre tary of State for India, bestowed upon her, with the cus tomary formalities, the name of Serapis. She is a remark. ably fine vessel, and her principal dimensions are—Length between the perpendiculars, 360 ft.; length of the keel for tonnage, 326 ft. 94 in. ; breadth for tonnage, 49 ft. ; depth in midships (from top of keel), 34 ft. 64 in. ; burden in tons RM., 4,173 25-94. Her engines are of 700-horse power nominal, and are under construction by Messrs. Humphrya and Tennant. Immediately after the launch a (gleaner was served in the Mould-house to abaut two hundred and fifty ladies and gentle men, Mr. Peter Bolt in the chair. In proposing lIICCOSS to the vessel, Mr. Rolt observed that she was designed by Mr. Reed, the constructor to the Royal Navy, and he believed that she would be found to possess a high degree of perfection in point of speed, ventilation, capa city, and every other quality that was attainable in ehip building. Captain W. R. Mends, R.N., director of the transport service, in reply, dwelt upon the great import ance of reducing the length of the passage to India. Tell a sick soldier that in a month he would be with his friends at home, and he would very likely rally, but tell him that he would be three months and a half on the voyage, he would probably lie down in despair, and, perhaps, die. With regard to the Serapis he had heard that some per sons had ventured upon adverse criticisms upon her design, but such persons could not be aware of the difficult conditions which the designer had had to fulfil. In the first place be (Captain Mends) had required that she should be large enough to take out a whole batta lion, together with the wives and families of the soldiers ; it had therefore to be made large enough to carry no fewer than 1,500 persona. Next, as she had to make a consider able portion of her voyage through the tropics, he had in sisted that she should possess every possible advantage in the way of sanitary arrangements, and he had also been obliged to restrict her draught to 21 feet, as she would have to enter two bar harbours, Aden and Alexandria. Lastly, he had fixed her speed at 14 knots. It was quite possible that she might not quite attain to that rate, but if she approached it he thought they ought to be well satisfied. As to her construction he might truly say that no piece of work had ever been more beautifully put to gether. She did, in fact, reflect the greatest credit upon the great company by which she had been built, and he trusted that her future administration would be as success. ful as her launch. (Cheers.) The gallant officer concluded by proposing " The Health of Lady Cranborne," with thanks to her for her services. Mr. Reed, in acknowledg ing the toast on behalf of her ladyship, took occasion to refer to the remarks to which he had from time to time been subjected ; and to observe that no greater misfortune could happen to any one in his position than to enjoy ex emption from the freest criticism. A number of other toasts followed, and the proceedings were protracted through the afternoon. THE CHOLERA. The following is the official return of deaths from cholera and diarrlicea registered on Tuesday, Sept. 25 : Cholera. Diarrhoea, West districts North districts 9 Central districts East districts 6 South districts 9 Total in London THE METROPOLITAN VISITING SOCIETY AND THE MANSION HOUSE COMMITTEE. Yesterday afternoon a conference, adjourned from Wednesday, the 19th inst., took place between the representatives of the Metropolitan Visiting Relief Asso ciation, of which the Bishop of London is president, and the Mansion-house Committee, for the purpose of consider ing the best means of uniting the two funds, so as to en able the administrators of both to work satisfactotay together in providing for the relief, permanent and other wise, of the large number of young persons who have been made orphans by the cholera. Lord Ebury presided. Sir Mordaunt Wells said that since the last meet ing be, on the part of the Mansion-house Committee, and Mr. Tilson, on the part of the Metropolitan Visiting Sociaty, had had consultations, and had found that the Mansion-house Committee bad 505 orphans to provide for, and the Metropolitan Visiting Society MO, making together 1,015. He and Mr. Tilson had gone together through the lists, and they had struck off all those they supposed not to be properly charge able to either fund. He then thought that, consideriog the whole of the circumstances, each fund might maintain an independent course of action, a plan all the more advisable, he thought, considering the mixed character of each committee. Even then there would remain the very important question of orphans which each committee must necessarily take up. During that day 19 cases bad come under his own consideration in connexion with the Mansion-house Committee, and these could not therefore be included in such a final settle ment as he intended to suggest that day. He pre sumed that independent of the 1,015 orphans he had men tioned there might be 60 or 80 more in connexion with each society, and the lists of their names being sent by one committee to the other might be dealt with hereafter. If they did not now deal with the lists which had already been prepared, he feared they would never come to an end of their work. Considerable discussion took place, and ultimately the following resolutions were adopted : " That the cord i al thanks of this committee be rendered to Sir Mordaunt Wells and Mr. Tilson for the great trouble they have taken in examining and classifying the list of orphans now laid before the committee, and that the pro position of dividing the lists into two portions as equal as they can be for the separate action of the two committees be adopted. That no application for relief by cholera orphans, children of parents already deceased, be received after the Ist of October, and that it be left to Sir Mordaunt Wells and Mr. Tilson to adjudicate upon any claims th 4 may arise in the interim, and to divide the same between the two funds." THE MURDER AT TOTNES.—The adjourned in quest on the body of Eliza Gepson, who came to her death in a mysterious manner on the second night of the Totnes races, was resumed on Monday. Some further evidence having been taken, the deputy-coroner then summed up, remarking that there appeared to be two questions in the case:—First, the nature and cha racter of the offence ; and, secondly, by whom the offence bad been committed. The first was not at all difficult to answer ; the second was not very likely to be solved. The body was found with such a wound as, if unattended to, was sufficient to cause death. The evidence clearly established that a murder had been committed; there was nothing apparent to reduce the crime from murder to manslaughter, but he did not think there was any juryman could lay his finger upon a single sentence in the evidence, and say " that points to the per petrator." The only verdict they could arrive at, he believed, would be a " Verdict of Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown." The jury, after having been locked up for half an boar, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against some person or unknown," and expressed their condemnation of ti:rrater page used by Gepson respecting his wife. The matter will now be referred to the Home Secretary of State, who it is believed will offer a reward for the apprehension of the perpetrator of the crime.
