WORM DEMONSTRATION AT WHITSCHAPEL. Yesterday afternoon, in accordance with a request of the Bishop of Landes. a meeting was held at the Vas - room of St. James's Church , Piocedilly, for the purpose of considering the propriety of raising a tton, me monal of the Right Rev. Dr. George Lynch Co seventh Bishop of Calcutta, who was drowned a few weeks sines while engaged in the work of his diocese. The very Her. the Dean of Westminster presided. The Rev. E. Parry, M.A., rector of Act*, moved the first resolution, "That this meeting, called toliment the heavy loss which the ohurch at large has sustained (tithe death of the late t a m e **op of Calcutta, desires to tender its respectful an fervent sympathy with Mrs. Cotton and the other membere of his family under the calamity with which it has pleased God to afflict them." This was seconded by the Rev. Dr. Mullins, late missionary of the London Missionary Sooiety, ' Calcutta, and unanimously adopted. The Rev. Dr. Kay, f or , principal of Bishop's CoLege, Calcutta, moved the appointment of a committee to carry out the resolution. Sir C. Trevelyan seconded the proposition, which vase also adopted, and it was agreed that the committee should consist of the Dean of Westminster, the Dean of Norwich (Goulburn), Mr. Giischen, M.P., Mr. T. Hughes, M. Lord Ernest Brace, Profaner Conington, Dr. Kay, Dr. Temple, prebendary V e nn , Mr. Godfrey Lushington, Mr. Few, Mr. A. G. Watson, Mr. T. Salt, and other gentlemen, with power to add to their number. The R ov ev. C. Bradley. head master of Marlborough Sc, hen med that it was desirable that contributions received for the purpose of raining the memorial of Bishop Cotton should be chiefly devoted to the permanent establishment of the schools founded by him, and designed for the Christian education mainly of European and Eurasian children in India, with the hope that the group of shools might, cordance with Indian precedents, bear the name of the Cotton Schools. The Rev. Prebentlery H. Venn, 8.D., secretary of the Church Missionary Society, seconded the motion, in support of which the meeting was addressed by the Rev. W. Bullock, secretary of the Propagation So. ciety ; the Rev. J. D. Glennie, secretary of the Chris tian Knowledge Society ; and the Rev. Prebendary Storks. The resolution was unanimously adopted, and on the motion of the Rev. J. P. Gall, Incumbent of St. John's, Notting-hill, a cordial vote of thanks was passed to the Dean of Westminster for presiding. The Dean of West minster, in acknowledging the compliment, said he con sidered that this was very much more than a personal question, and the main thing theyhad to consider was how they should stamp on the mind of the public both in Engler d and India a sense of the 100 which the country and the church had sustained. For himself he was indiffe rent to the nature of the memorial. Whether they were to combine the bill schools with those on the plain, whether the schools were to bear Bishop Cottin's name or not were to him matters of comparative indifference. Mostly gladly would he welcome the name of Bishop Cotton's Schools, but that mat depend upon the will of the people of India, and on the amount of impression which Bishop Cotton had left behind. If the people of England wished them to be called BishopCottoia's Schools, Bishop Cotton's Schools they would be called to the end of time. (Hear, hear.) He would add that there had been no one more instrumental in giving to the church in India the episcopate of Bishop Cotton than the Bishop of Lon don. (Loud cheers.) The Bi sho p of London had done many great things for the church of England, but Cott no on ne greater than in promoting the appointment of Dr. to the bishopric of Calcutta. (Cheers.) The meeting then separated, and the committee appointed immediately held a sitting for the purpose of making the necessary pre liminary arrangement'. Last evening there was a reform demonstration, hold at the instance of the Tower Hamlets bean" of the Reform Leaps, at the Pavilion Theatre, Whiteolaspel road. Thp au dience was a very large on e, the &depletion bang by ticket. Kr. BLUM occupied the chair, and on making his ap pearance on the stage was greete d with loud cheers. Re was accompanied by Colonel Dickson, Messrs. Baxter Langley, George Potter , Bradlaugh, Rethwell, Connolly, Cleban, Wicliartow,Bovkett, Weston, Mantel], Davis, and the Rev. J. Thomas. Th e estalitoUN, in opening the proceedings, said that he was rejoiced to meet the men of East London, for the reform movement bad met with many earnest supporters at the Fret-end. He itongratunted the meeting on the present potation of this movement for securing to the great body of the people their constitutional rights as ye.' prded the franchise. (Cheers.) The most talented, philosophical, sad respectable of tho tory pub lications, the Quarter , y Review, had stigmatised the Reform Association as a most arrogant society, which disgusted all who were not members of the association itself. If he could judge by the warm reception which the Reform League bad met with at the various meetings held In England, Scotland, and Ireland, they might congratu late each o ther upon the enthusiastic manner in which the people had Wren up the question, while on the other hand, no one had ventured to convene meetings to It ; and so far as he was aware only one man, Mr7iC e , had ventured to miss his voice against it, in a room attached to his own brewery, but which was complete l y drowned by the disapprobation of the meeting. It could not be alleged that among the hundreds of thousandsof men, in eluding merobanta, capitalists, clergymen, and others, w ho ho su pported this movement there were not many who Something to lose. He repelled with indignation the charge that bad been made against him, that be had rendered the cause unpopular, nor could it be said to be unpopular when they saw an English, an Irish, and a Scotch Reform League. He claimed for every man morally responsible the privilege of the suffrage, which was the only thing that could place the people in the position of free citizens. e Their meetings, which bad been distinguished by the g regard foe law and order, had abundantly refuted the charges made spied the people by those who only wanted an excuse to continue the system of oppression which ' ex i s ted. It but been said that manhood suffrage would enable the working classes to dominate over all other dames. That was merely an assumption based upon the opinion of their opponents that the interest of the work ing. clangs was opposed to that of all other classes of moiety ; and, secondly, that if they bad the suffrage, tion they would use it for evil purposes. I t the first assump were correct, it only proved how imperative reform was, because it was evident that the interests of the go• warning classes were opposed to the working thane. He denied that there was the slightest reason to believe that if manhood suffrage was granted it would be used for evil purposes. Shame upon those who made the allegation, and shame upon the working classes if they submitted to it. (Cheers.) Had there been say iniasinces of manhood suffrage in America or any n of our eolonies being used for evil purposes ? It had bee con einsinly shown by Mr. Hutton, for many years a mem ber of the Australian government and legislature, th he at before the introduction of manhood suffra g e and t ballot the elections presented the same features of violence and immorality as existed in this country at the present time—a system which had been completely put an end to by the adoption of those two principles. Yet there were members of parliament who sneered at the reform move ment, and among them the member for the Tower Hamlets. (Hisses for Mr. Ayrton, and cries of " He'll be turned out next time.") Th en, again, the Adullamite member for Lambeth had thought proper to sneer at America, and to say, " God forbid that this country should ever be brought to the condition of that country." Just conceive a man sneering at a country which had just conducted with remarkable ability ens of the most gigantic wars on record, and yet imme diately it was ended had set itself to work, and had already reduced the public debt by 30,000,000 i. while in time of peace our government had never been able to reduce our public debt, which was incurred for the most part in foreign wars, in any appreciable degree. (Hear, boar.) Conceive a man sneering at a country in which every child was educated at the expense of the state, and in which pauperism did not exist, when, if he chose to look around him, he would find the most frightful pau perism and the most deplorable ignorance. (Hear, hear.) He concluded by urging upon them that, inasmuch as par liament would never reform itself, it was their bounden duty to support the Reform League, which would enable them to bring such a pressure upon the legislature as must compel them to do the people justice. (Cheers.) Mr. GATF.S then moved, and Mr. Bea-ND seconded, the following resolution :—" That this meeting, whilst expressing its unfeigned contempt and in dignation at the means resorted to by a tory faction, aided by a clique of sham liberals to stifle and overthrow the moderate measure introduced by the late government, records its want of confidence in the prewnt ministry, and pledges itself to accept at their Bands no measure as a settlement of this question that does not hilly and satisfactorily restore to the people their natural and constitutional rights—manhood suffrage, re gistered and residential, and protected by the ballot." Both the speakers were working men, and made very effective adaresses. The latter, with respect to the claim made to limit the franchise to household suffrage, put it to the meeting whether, supposing a prosperous tr adesman occupying a house for a long period of his lifo was sud denly reduced by unforeseen calamity to occupy lodgings, he was less competent to vote for a member of parliament than be was before. Mr. BRAPLATOII supported the resolution in a speech which produced consider-ie effect. The resolution was also supported by Mr. MANTELL, and carried by ac elantation. Resolutions were also passed to the effect that a petition to parliament, based upon the first resolution, should be presented, and that the meeting record its earnest thanks to the champions of the cause of the people—Wm. (;wart • Gladstone, John Bright, and John Stuart Mill—with . others, in and out of parliament, who supported them in their efforts on behalf of their toiling fellow countrymen, • and who vindicated the character of the working men from the most infamous slanders. All the resolutions wore agreed to. The other speakers were Mr. Jones, Mr. Baxter Langley, Colonel Dickson, Mr. Payne, and Mr. Davis. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro ceedings. - TSB BISHOP OF CARLISLE ON ".RITUALISTIC INNOV ATION." The Bishop of Carlisle has addressed to the clergy and laity of his diocese a pastoral letter upon " Ritualistic Innovation." Ills lordship begins by ob serving that " there can be no longer any doubt that there exists at this moment within the pale of the church of England an organised combination, the object of which is the reinstatement among us of those distinctive obser vances and doctrines of the church of Rome which were cart forth at the time of the blessed Reformation. The sacri fice of the ma's, with all its attendant vestments, lights, censings, and prostratious—au r icular confession, with all its consequent sacerdotal influences, loosening family ties of God's Institution and working through fraternities and sisterhoods of man's invention—these, and other essen tially popish teachings and practices, are now inculcated and defended by men who have subscribed to the forum lanes, and who retain their position as ministers of the protestant establishment of our land. With these for mularies themselves an actual dissatisfaction is no longer denied ; while the endeavour is made to supplement what is held to be defective, if not to neutralize what is considered to be erroneous, by the introduction of hyn-us of ominous doc trinal import, in unaccustomed but highly significant places, in the celebration of divine worship. Nay, more than this, services are held, over and above the usual daily prayer and communion office, for which there is no legal warranty whatsoever, and in which the Itomeward ten dencies of the devotee meet with more satisfaction than he could otherwise attain within our borders. Nor are there wanting plain indications that even Mariolatry itself is regarded as that to which a close approximation may very desirably be made." Although many protested that the movement was not Romanic but Anglican, the end must be " the absorption into the Papal vortex of the more art less and impassioned spirits of the ritualistic school, while its disciples of deeper guile and sterner resolve will tarry within our communion, to do the work of the enemy by u ndermining our scriptural faith ; until, in another generation, the bulwarks of our protestant church shall be sought for in vain. Under these circumstances the people, clergy and laity alike, naturally look to their bishops ; hut it was more easy to state the problem than to dis cover its solution. An appeal to the courts of law had been advised, but would that appeal be successful? Even suppose a verdict obtained un one or more points, the question would with Protean vitality he mooted afresh in new forms ; and recent experience of the practice of our ecclesiastical courts did not encourage the idea that the decision of any case should be obtained upon its simple merits. Legislation had been contemplated ; and legisla tin of a directly or indirectly declarative character might prove ultimately to be the only e ff ectual cure. But the appeal to the magistrate ought to be the last and the forced resort Moral and spiritual influence should first be used; and upon this principle his lordship now ventured to address to his dock words of emphatic and timely wanting to put them on their guard against the stealthily *deeming foes. The questions at issue were of vital import. They seriously unff-r-estimate the evil who %weld !peak Of it simply as one of liturgies and ceremonial. " Dogmas, as these ritualists themselves openly avow, apart from which, candles on the miscalled oftalar lighted at noonday, stoles, and chasuhles, and copes costly fabric and gorgeous hue, fragrant iucense and melting music, would not be worth contending for. And what is that dogma? One which they may indeed them selves believe to be distinguishable from transubstantia tion, but which no scripturally instructed Christian mind can discover to differ from it in reality." His lordship urges the laity to meet the introduction of the evil among them by " firm, and fearless, and withal affectionate and respectful remonstrance with the pastor." THE C. 4 TEE AN EPISCOPAL CHURCH AND THE ROYAL PREROGATIVE. GUILDFORD ELECTION.—The official declaration of the poll was made yesterday morning at 12 o'clock. Mr. Garth. Q.C., the successful candidate, and his opponent, Mr. Pocock, were both present, and the former was loudly cheered by his suporters upon his enteriug the hall.

THE 81111:71 , 1ELD MIIRDFIL Haan/ Oabbiks, 16, draper, was indicted for the wilful murder of Arthur A llen, at She ffi eld, on the 22 0 d of N ove mber last. He ha d pleaded guilty to the charge on Saturday, but by the mince of his counsel he afterwards withdrew that plea. Mr. Campbell Footer and Mr. V.Blaokburn were counsel for the prosecution ; Mr. Waddy for the defence. Mr. Foster said the prisoner was charges with She murder of another boy , abou t his own age, o was fellow-apprentice, both being in the servioe of Mr. Edmund Draper, hosier and draper, Fargate , S heffield. The de ceased had been nine months in Mr. Draper's service, and the prisoner two years and eight months on the 22nd of November. Allen was aged 15, and the prisoner 16 or 17. The prisoner was a tolerab l y steady and good lad. ande Allen.occupied one bed, and there was no reason to believe that there was any ill-blood between them. They had been accustomed after business hours to go out until ten o'clock, but their master had deprived them of that pri vilege, because Allen, while the prisoner waited outside, went into a confectioner ' s shop, and had a glass of wine and a tart, though he had no money with which to pay for it. For this misconduct he punished both of them by keeping them in doors each nig ht. Nothing, however , , had tr spired to show that the prisoner entertained any animosity towards Allen because of that deprivation. On the night of the 21st they went to bed as usual, and there was nothing to excite any suspicion ; but at seven o'clock next morning Mr. Draper was awoke by a knock at his door • and on inejuiring what was want ed, he was answered by the r pisoner saying, •' I've killed Arthur." Mr. Draper said , " What have you done?" and prisoner answered, I've killed Arthur . ' "Oh ! what do you mean!" exclaimed Mr. Draper, and the prisoner answered, " I've hammered his head with a hammer , and stabbed him with a knife ; I have killed him." Mr. Draper got out of bed, and enter ing the apprentices' room he found Allen welteand ring on in his blood, on the dressing tab l e a bloody hammer, the bed a carving knife, bloody and broken. A surgeon was sent for, and the prisoner taken to the police-office. On the way thither a fellow-apprentice named Moss said to the prisoner, " Why have you killed him ? and "Do you not know what you have been doing ? " and the prisoner's reply was, " I did it for revenge." The surgeon (Mr. Favell) found that on his left temple the deceased had received a violent blow, which had driven in part of the skull, and on the crown of the head another blow, which had fractured the skull. In the neck there was a wound of a superficial character, which might have been inflicted by the carving knife. The knife and the hammer must have been carried up to the bedroom the night before by the prisoner, for the hammer was in constant use downstairs, and the knife belonged to the shop ; so that it had re quired some degree of contrivance on the part of the prisoner to secrete those weapons in that way. He asked if that did not show a degree of premeditation indicating contemplation of the deed in question, and proving that the murder was wilfully and intentionally done. Mr. Draper, the master of the deceased and the prisoner, in the course of his evidence said, on the Saturday fol lowing the going out at nights had been stopped the prisoner spoke to him, saying that it was very hard he should be deprived of his liberty through the fault of another, but he (Mr. Draper) told him that he considered both to blame. The prisoner had been a good and dutiful apprentice. When at the police-office he said be was very sorry for what he had done. Cross-examined by Mr. Waddy With regard to his apprentioeship I have had no communication with his father, though he signed the indenture, which was sent to Hull to him for that purpose. His father has paid no attention whatever to him during the two or three years that he has been with me. I cannot say that be has had a single letter from his father during the whole time that he has been with me. He has been remarkably docile and amiable. He has always been deferential to me aril kind to his brother apprentices. This continued up to the night of this terrible tragedy. I did not observe that on the night of the 21st be was very heavy and pensive. I did not see him after half-past seven. During the day I had observed nothing of the kind. He has been deaf, and treated surgically for it. At the Town hall he flung his arms round my neck and kissed me, and bads me " good bye." Re-examined by Mr. Footer—There was nothing in my family to make him unhappy. By the Judge—He has a step-mother. By Mr. Waddy—The gentleman who has taken most care of him, so far as he was taken care of by his relatives, was his uncle on his mother's side, Mr. P. Platt, of Gains borough. Mr. Favell, surgeon, described the wounds, and said in two or three days after he had received them, Allen died from the hurts to the head. Mr. Waddy cross-examined this gentleman at length in a way suggesting that the defence would be insanity. Moss, the third apprentice who has been spoken of, in cross-examination, said the prisoner went quietly to the Town-ball, and was not flurried. Once or twice be had beard him complain of being neglected by his father and mother, aid that his stepmothe r had behaved cruelly to him. He bad not been subject to fits of passion. By Mr. Forster—On the night before the murder, prisoner complained twice of pain in his head, and was dull and melancholy. Dr. l'yemont Smith, of Mount Stead Retreat, near Ilkley, said he had visited the prisoner that morning, and talked with him. Prisoner talked rationally, certainly, but with a slight degree of reserve. He answered all questions, but volunteered no information. His appearance altogether was defective, but there wan nothing about the heed indicating disease of the brain. His face was the worst, the lower part being very receding. The conversation turned on the present accusatidb. (His lord ship would not allow it to transpire what that conversation was.) Mr. W. N. Price, surgeon to the Leeds Gsol, deposed that he had had several opportunities of conversing with and noticing the prisoner. and he believed he knew right from wrong, and was able to understand the consequences of any act he might do. Mr. Waddy said they had before them a young man, a boy, a child almost—for although a boy of 16 in point of years, they hod been told by the surgeon who had been called for the prosecution, that the prisoner was a compa ratively undeveloped youth : and they had also the fact that this lad—of whose character, bearing, and demeanour up to the period of this crime being committed it was impossible for him (Mr. Waddy) to speak too highly— that was this youth charged with a crime the most atro cious both in the eyes of God and man. As to the motive, there was not one which could occupy the attention of the jury for an instant, and this had been shown in the case for the prosecution. The jury might natur-illy inquire what was the meaning of the act the youth had committed. He should attempt to explain that by the evidences of the witnesses he should call. He should call before them those who had known the boy from the tine of his birth. He was the child of a very fond, affectionate, and devoted mother, who was consumptive, and who died and left him when he was only about five years of age. He should also show that the prisoner had had a constant succession of fits, these afflictions extending over some length of time, and drawing from his own mother at one time the expres sion of the wish that the Lord would take him first, in asmuch as she considered he was mentally and physically ruined by this ailment. After prisoner's mother died, the father, unfortunately for the lad, married again, and when that event took place, the whole course and history of the lad's life was changed. He was then treated with great cruelty, and made to undergo considerable hardships. The stepmother systematically illtreated him, and soured his life. Prisoner himself had declared, in unguarded mo ments, and when he was suffering from this shameful treatment, that his stepmother had told him she knew he was doomed to the gallows. From his early days, that appalling vision had haunted and darkened his life, until it culminated in the horrible crime about which they had that day to inquire. He should show to them that there had been some terrible delusion on the part of the patient. Medical men would be called who were familiar with cases of homicidal monomania, and their testimony would be entitled to the most careful consideration of the jury. He had no right to ask them for mercy on the part of the prisoner, but if they came to the conviction that at the time he did that act he did not know what he was about, and did not know its nature and quality, it would be their duty to acquit the prisoner. Eliza Minty, publican, Hull, was called to show that the stepmother, Mrs. Gabbites,had systematically treated the youth in a very brutal manner. Remembered her breaking a toasting fork over his head, and other inci dental acts of violence which witness considered bad made the boy nervous. During the period of her knowledge of him he was always goodnatured, and his temper never ap peared to be moved. Christiana Standing, of Owaton Ferry, had known the prisoner since he was a week old. She was asked whether his mother's health was not feeble, but the judge rejected such evidence as not legitimate, because there was no evi dence of the prisoners insanity. At twelve months old he had fits, which, from the description she gave of them, must have been epileptic. The fits left him with a very singular " daft " appearance. The fits left him at three years old. His mother died when be was seven years old. She believed neither his father nor his stepmother were in court. Mary Fielding, of Owston Ferry, said she knew the pri soner as a child, and bad heard his mother pray about him. He we. kind and good, but a dull, daft boy. She knew moat of him from four to eleven years old, when he went to Hull, and she never noticed that his hearing was imperfect. Thomas Hargrave Fletcher, schoolmaster, of Crofton• bridge, said the prisoner was formerly one of his scholars. He did not remember anything vindictive in his conduct, or passionate. Scarcely any other boy was so constantly well conducted. Robert Sharp, a Sunday-school superintendent, consi dered that when a boy the prisoner was of weak intellect. Cross-examined by Mr. Forster—He seemed to under stand the teaching when he was taught to pursue the good, and avoid the evil. By the Judge--Though there was mental imbecility, he knew right from wrong. Mrs. Sharp, wife of the last witness, said she had noticed the prisoner to be soft, and to laugh sillily when he was eight years old but he was very land to cats sad birds.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 19. (Before Mr. Justice Smith.) .Robert Reid was charged with the murder of his wife, Ann Reid, on the 3rd December, 1862, in LiverpooL The case derived an additional interest from the fact that after the murder Reid escaped from England and was only cap tured in August last, the arrest being made in the city of New York, and the prisoner being brought to Liverpool by detective officer Marsden. Reid, when in Liverpool, worked SS a tin-plater and lived with his wife and child din a cellar in Myrtle - street. About midnight of the re cember, 1862, the prisoner entered the cellar in company with his son. His wife was sitting there together with a female neighbour named Rogers. The pri sonerjsat down. The cellar was dark,ithe only light being a faint glow from the fire. Reid appeared quiet, and Rogers did not notice any appearance of intoxication about him. Pointing to his lad, he said to Rogers, " Mary, is not that a fine boy ?" After a while Reid asked his wife to sing a song. She did so, and when she ceased Reid, aft s er look ing at his wife in a wild m anner, began himself to ing, " Rambling round the world for 'port." He stopped in the middle of the song, and rising from his seat seized his wife by the hair and dragged her towards the door. Rogers implored him not to do her any harm, as she had not pro voked him in any way. Reid did not speak, but he loosed his hold of his wife. What followed is best told in the words of Rogers herself. "He left hold of her, and she crawled along the wall to the fireplace, and lay down with her back to the wall. She was not able to stand. When she sank down I saw two little fountains of blood coming from under her left side, right under her arm, like water from a tap." The prisoner steed a moment in the door way, and when Rogers said, " Oh, Bob, you have mur dered the woman," he came forward a little, and saying to the boy, " Johnny, come on," he took him by the hand and left the place. Rogers then gave the alarm, but Reid could not be found. The wife bad been stabbed twice under the arm, the wounds being from two to three inches in length, and she died in a few minutes afterwards. A witness named Adams saw Reid coming out of the cellar with a bloody knife in his hand, and noticed that be after wards dropped it down a sewer grating. The jury found the prisoner Civilly, and he was sen tenced to death. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant -Judge.) Philippe Rewsont, 23, a Frenchman, was indicted for stealing a cash-box, a pair of gold sleeve links, three shirts, e nd other articles , 1001., the property of Augustus Wilkie, in a d we lli ng -h o use. There wer e other indict ments of a similar nature against bim. Mr. Platt prosecuted Mr. Brinley defende d the prisoner. Although only four oases were sent for trial, from the Marylebone Police-court, there were about twenty ready to be preferred against him, and it was ascertained that hundreds of pounds would be required to cover the prisoner's robberies. The modus operandi was precisely the same in each case, and was most successfully carried out. The prisoner went to houses where lodgings were announced to be let, and, having looked at them, ex pressed his satisfaction with the arrangements and ancom. modation, decided at once up on takin g them, and by way of securing them he wished to pay a week's rent in advance. This offer in every case took the persons letting the lodg ings off their guard, and they did not take the usual course of making inquiries as to his reference, but accepted him as a tenant of furnished lodgings at once. The prisoner having got possession of the premisee did not remain n ig more than one night st each place, but in the course of the ht, having secured everything valuable he could lay his hands upon, decamped the next morning to dispose of the property, and then to seek out a fresh victim for plunder. Mr. Brinley having made a short address for th e defence, The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Platt said these robberies had been carried on to a very great extent, and it was believed, from the descrip tion given of the prisoner to the police, that he was one of a gang who had been engaged in other robberies. The Assistant-Judge sentenced the prisoner to be kept in penal servitude for five year+. THE POLICE COURTS. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Taylor, a chimney-sweep, living in Market-street, ; Fitzroy-square, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing 501. in soveriigns and half-sovereigns, the moneys of Charles Hall, greengrocer, of 28, Upper Charlton-street. The prosecutor said that he had 50/. in sovereigns and half-sovereigns in • purse ready to pay his rent, and for security he put the purse and contents in a shell, and placed it a little way up the chimney, in a kind of recess. On Monday last, while he was out, his wife had the chimney swept. On going for the money the next day he missed it, and then heard from his wife that she had had the chim ney swept, and his little boy told him that he had seen the prisoner with the shell in his hand. Upon this he went to the George-street station, and on the prisoner being taken into custody told him that he had better give up the money, and that he did not want any bother about it. The prisoner said he knew nothing about it. Sergeant Banger, i.i E, said he went to the prisoner's house last night, and found the prisoner and his wife lying oa a bed drunk. On telling the prisoner that he was charged with stealing ro. from a shell, lie said, " I had the shell, but I put it back again." There was a large ham on the table, and the prisoner and his wife appeared to have been enjoying themselves, as there were cans and bottles about the place which had contained beer and gin. He found on the bed half a sovereign and some silver. Prisoner denied having had the money. Sergeant Banger asked for a remand, which was granted. prisoner. The parties in this cue were man and wife, and from the evidence of the prosecutrix it appeared that on the night of the 20 th of Oc tober they had been out together, and when they returned home the prisoner was somewhat the worse for liquor. Some sort of struggle or scuffle, the precise nature of which did not very clearly appear, then seemed to have taken place between the parties, and by some means or other a large kettle contain ing about six quarts of boiling water that was standing upon the fireplace fell upon the prosecutril and burnt her very severely on the arm, and injured her so much that she bad entirely lost the u se of the limb.
