THE MURDER AT MARY-LA-BONNE. FURTHER PARTICULARS.. The sensation caused by the dreadful murder of Mr. Cooper is indescribable, and is the general topic at the west end of the town. especially is the immediate neigh bnirrhood of High-street, Mary. la-bonne, w here, N 0.26, Mr. Cooper resided. During the whole of yesterday, that past of the High.' street where the deceased lived was crowded to such excess that it was rendered impassable, and in the course of the day innumerable inquiries were made at the house after the health of Mrs. Cooper, who is obliged to keep her bed in consequence of the dreadful injuries she received from the assassin. The answer to the in quiries made was, that s• she was considerably bett.r, and is in a fair way of recovery; but the' - fright which the horrid circumstance was calculated to occasion, had operated very much upon her mind," &c. She is stab bed in t.o places at the back of the neck, and another on the fleshy part of the right arm. Mrs. Pilgrim (not Bickoellh who was. the cause of Pollard's jealous rage, is at presenfin the Mary-la bonne Infirmary, with lour wounds on her right arm. She i 4 in an exceedingly weak state, and was much affected on hearing of the death of Pollard, and exclaimed " GOD forgive him-1 do." Pollard, after having com mitted the act, was apprehended by the Office's, and taken to the Office and placed in the outer avenue, when he almost instantly fell upon his knees, and appeared to be in a dying state. On examination he was found wel. tering in his blood. He was removed to the Mary-la bonne Infirmary, where he expired at three o'clock on Saturday morning. Prior to his death. he was sullen and reserved in his manner, and refused to answer any ques tions that were put to him, but exclaimed once or twice, s' I have done it, what more do you want !" and putting his hand to his side, where he had stabbed himself, "I am satisfied." He died in great agony. Pollard was originally a butcher, residing in Oxford street, and was in a very respectable way of business, but having failed, his circumstances latterly were very much reduced, and be became the associate of abandoned wo- men, and indulged in the most depraved habits, was generally intoxicated, and for some time past was heard to exclaim in a violent manner against Mr. Cooper, %rho frequently forbade him his house, in consequence of his improper conduct towards himself and family. It appears that he had been cohabiting with Mrs. Pil- J who is elated to Mr. Cooper; and the circum stance of having left him to reside in the house of Mr. C. led to the jealousy w h ich caused the fatal act, he conceiving that the latter %Tea instrumental in causing their sepas.tion. . ' The 'crowd continued to increase until a late hour, and the utmost indignation and horror seemed to be felt by. the popul ace. It waslound necessary, the multitude was so great, to have the attendance of the police and parish officers to keep order and disperse the throng ; but no sooner did parties- leave, than other occupied their places, and the passage was nearly blocked up during the day. - Pilgrim-has no doubt that Pollard, who was of a most ferocious and sanguinary disposition, intended to destroy her, because she refused to go back and live with him; and, Iron, her own account, it was not her -1 self merely, but her property that Pollard coveted. Mr. Cooper pos-essed a freehol I property, situate at Kensall Green, which brought him in about 3501. per antrum, and his sister, Mrs. Pilgrim. had become entitled to some property adjoining. The latter had formerly been possessed by Pollard's mother, who kept an Inn at Ken salt qteen. Mr. Cooper and Mrs. Pilgrim became the puichasers of it, when Mrs. Pollard d:ed. When the sale of this property took place, Pollard, and Mr. Cooper and his sister, were introduced to each other, and that circumstance led to the intimacy which has terminated in sO tragical a manner. Pollard had several times attempted to obta'n pos session of Mrs. Pilgrim's interest in the property in ques tion, and with this view he called at Mr. Cooper's house to endeavour to renew the acqu iintance with Mrs. Pil grim. Mr. Cooper, however, refused to allow him to see Mrs. Pilgrim, and when he repeatedly called, be told PAUL d tb it Mrs. Pilgrim did nor wish to see him, nor should she see him again. The knife with which this dreadful the.' was per petrates' is a butcher'slcsife, worn away in the middle by its being so frequently _ applie i to the steel, and is atsout eight inches long, . with a point, like a dagger. It is now in the possession of Mr. Hewitt, the Chief Constable of Miry-la-bonne. It is a fact, that Pollard showed the knife to several persons, and said, " thi;J *mild cut a throat." P, lard, after he failed in business as a butcher, was appointed an a-sistant patrol, or police officer, during the late Queens trial. Since then he has collected debts as an agent to the• Corm of Requests; but his dissi pated habits had reduced him to great pecuniary difficulty. Saturday, the body of Pollard, was viewed at the In firmary hy seser al sus eon... There were the marks of three st,sbs on the left breast. Tne•tvt o tirst stabs pene trated no lartber than the rib bones, and the latter appea , ed to Wire turned the sharp edge of the knife. The body of P. Rani was very bloody, and presented a most appalling spectacle. He appeared to be a short and very stout muscular man, about forty five years of age. When alive his complexion was florid, and he was pitted with the small pox ; the lips were closed, and there was a very remarkable expression of determined ferocity in , the countenance. Numbers of persons have visited the body of Mr. Cooper, which lies in one of the attics of his house. Mrs. Cooper received four wounds: one in the left shoulder near the joint ; one behind the ear, which left the ear attached only' by a piece of skin; the third - on the right side of the throat, which divided some of the superbcial vessels, and is still attended with a good deal of tusnefaction, from the effused blood; the fourth wound is on the right arm, beginning near the wrist joint, and continuing nearly to the elbow, separating the integuments, and doing some injury to the muscles. William Thomas Cooper, the youth who gave evi deuce nit the Cotoner's Inquest, on Saturday night, has, since been seized with a fever, which is supposed to have arisen [tom the frightful impression left upon his mind by the late catastrophe. Pollard's body was opened on Saturday night. The , heart, as was espected, was net penetrated. The knife entered high up in the ribs, about the . situation of the beat. .and passed obliquely dot nwards through the diapbsagin,and punctured the stomach.. died from beenorrtrage. There was ne :sly &gallon of coagulated blood found in the cavities of the chest and abdomen. The intercostal artery, was not divided, as by some was imigined, when be plunged the knife between the ribs. 1 1Pr THE CORONA'S INQUEST. • At five o'clock on Saturday afternoon, the Coroner% Precept, foe summoning a Jury for the same evenini, was received by the beadle, and in less than two hours the Coroner, T. STIRLING, EA. and a full and respect able Jury were assembled, at the Rose of Normandy public-house, in High-street. The swearing in of the Jury being completed, the Jury and Coroner proceeded to the house of the unfortunate Sir. C!..per, where his body was exhibited to their view, and thence to the Mary-la-bonne Infirmary, where the body or the mur derer was lying. it being the intention of the Coroner to proceed with the evidence as to the cause of both. On the return of the Jury, they found Mr. Thomas,_the junior Clei k of the Mar y-la-bonne Police Office, waiting with a message from Mr. Griffiths, to the effect that if it would be any accommodation to the Col oner, the public office was at his service. The offer was im mediately accepted, and the Jury having adj -toned accordingly, the following evidence was taken : Mr. William Chapman, surgeo I, of 57, !Ugh-street, stated that about a gnat ter before eight o'clock on Friday evening he was sent for to W. Cooper %, where he was told a man was desperately wounded: On .getting there, he found the drc, a ed, Mr. Cooper, hal been re moved to Mr. Chadick's, a chemist, living opposite s whither be then went. He foUnd Mr. Cooper lying on the floor, which was' much market with bloid. He was quite dead. He cut off his clothes in front, in order to discover the cause of his death, and on examining the left side found an incised wound on the breast. It was about an inch is length, and had penetrated through the cartilaginous termination of the ribs, and thence had passed into the heart. The Coroner suggested that as the witness could not speak positively to that fact, it would be better that he should retire for the purpose of opening the body. He retired accordingly, and on his return, resumed his evidence by stating that he had examined the wound, and found that it had entered the heart, and had caused an internal hemorrhage, which was the proximate cause of death. A knife had been shewn to him on Friday evening (the Coroner here pro. duced it.) Witness continued—lt was the same now produced, and was of a form and make exactly adapted for producing the wound in question. George Jepps, porter, of Great Barlow -street, st fled, that about half-past seven o'clock a Mrs. Elsmore ac quainted him that Cooper had been wounded, and was lying stretched on the floor of his shop ; he, in conse quence, went to the place, and found the boiy lying partly over *the pavement in front of the shop, and partly-within the door-way. In the middle of the shop he saw Pollard; he had no weapon in his hand, and witness jumping ovk7abe body of Cooper, went up to him, and took hol&N - him, saying, " You are my pri soner ; you must go with me." He ma 'e no resistance, but merely said, " It was me that did it ; I shall be a dead man before long; I have not long to live." Smile of the officers of Mary-la-bonne Office came to witness's assistance, and helped him to convey Pollard to the Offer. They did not at that time know that he was wounded; but 'on getting into Grotto-court he fell down, and witness, in raising him, supposing it was the effect of liquor, said, " You were not so drunk just this minute, - when. you were standing in Cooper's shop." On looking at him, however, witness now saw that he was wounded, and in consequence they carried him the re mining distance on their shoulders. He did not say a word. Witness helped to carry him to the Infirmary. Mrs. Mary Jones, the mother of Mrs. Coo a ter, stated she resided in the same 11 , use with her deceased son -in law. On the morning of Friday, she saw Pollard come to the house and inquire of Mr. Casper to allow him to se! Mrs. Pilgrim. He was told that she was not then within, and after some grumbling be went away, saying that he would call again at seven o'clock in the evening. Ile returned at the time he named, and wit ness being in the shop he rd bin, inquire for Mrs. Pil grim. Mr. Cooper went to him and told him he should not enter the house, and Mrs. Pilgrim, who at the time was sitting in the parlour, at the tear of the shcy, on 1 hearing this, rose -up, and said she would go into the' passage and speak to him. Mrs. Pilgrim went accord. ingly, and Mr. Cooper in the mean time returned into the parlour, leaving witness alone in the shop. In a few minutes after, witness heard the passage door shut, and an instant afterwards saw Pollard enter the shop door, and go toward; the parlour, at the door of .which he was met by Mr. Cooper, who said," I must go out. and take in the goods that are ha-iging without the shop." Pollard replied, " you shall not go out, unless you let Inc in," and both of them withdrew into the parlour ; but in an instant alter, Mr. Cooper came out, crossed the shop, and just as he reached the shop door fell down, Pollard followed with a knife, streaming with blood in his hand, and seeing witness said to her, "ycu Need not be frightened, I won't hurt you." He then struck the knife into his own left breast, and withdraw- Mg it, flung it behind the counter. At this instant the witness, Jeops, came into the shop and secured Pollard. William Thomas Coopei', a boy about 13 years old, son to the de-ceased, Cooper, said that his father, mother, a- , cl Mrs. Pilgrim, and him-elf were sitting talking in, the parlour when Pollard called in the evening. His father went our to him but soon returned, and Mrs. Pilgrim then left the room. About a- minute after words, Pollard came to the door of the room, where he Isiwi met by Mr. Cooper, who said, " must go and take in my goods." Pollard said, " You shan't go out, unless you allow me to come in?' And at the same instant drawing a knife from his breast, he struck wit aess's father on the left side. Witness took up a poker and struck him with it, but where, owing to his ccnfu sion at the time, he could not say, and then rushing past him, got into the street, and there gave an alarm, and afterwards ran-over to Mr. Chadwicks, and begged him to come to his father's assistance. Oa returning to the shop he found his father lying in the door way. Juror—Was there a quarrel between your father and Pollard? Witness—Yes; Pollard wanted to come into the parlour, but my father would not let him pass. _ _ • Cosousft—Did you see Pollard strike your mother? Witness— No. I did not. Juror—When Pollard attempted to strike you, bad be a knife is Lis hand ?—Yes, biked. Juror--Vid you see the knife in your father's body? Witness —Yes, I saw Pollard draw the knife from his chest. Henry Parker, a lad thirteen years of age, was next ' examined—l live at No. 4, Mary-la-bonne Court, with my mother ; I was errand-boy to the late Mr. Cooper. FridAy afternoon, Pollard came to my master's shop and said he wanted Io see my master s sister ; a lady answered that she was out with my Illiattess ; Pollard said he would call again. About half-past seven, Pol lard returned, and met me, and tried to lay hold of me, iv3t I hid behind the door, and saw Pollard take out a knife from his bosom, and pass his hand over it, to see if it was sharp. I mar my master fall down by the door ; Pollard was standing in the middle of the shop. Cosonza.Dist you see Pollard sulks your misuess?—No - I did nor. . • -:. • Juror—Did yeti how, your master call out ; 'hoe:led out lli pod," , Did yea Mar your mistress tail ; I did not. A long discussion now took place among the Jury, at the close of 'which they addressed the Coroner, and said they wished the room to be clewed, as they could not esactly agree as to their verdict. The Conover expressed his astonishment at their in. d••cisiou ; they ha I asembled for the put pose of ascer taining how Mr. Cooper _came to his de.th ; they had bad before them evidence to prove beyond a doubt that the man Pollard had murdered him with a deafly in. strument ; what now could they %%01 for ? A Jitryman observed, that himself and some other of his brother Jurymen thought the sister of Mr. Cooper did nut give an alarm when she could have dose it; and they theretore ',cry doubtful as to whether she was not in some measure inculpated iu the guilt of Pollard. The CORONZR said, that any woman, placed in her situation, would have been dreadfully al:tined ; she might have been incapable of crying out; it was evi dent that she had been dreadfully injured by Pollard. It would be impossible at that late hour, to pro:Feed to inquire into the state of the murderer; and he should therefore adjourn, for the purpoe of pursuing that in quiry, till one o'clock on Tuesday. With respect, how ever, to the other object of iliquit y, the death of Mr. Cooper, he thought they could have no &mist. The Jury, at a quarter to to o'clock, after again consulting, re turned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Pollard. The Inquest on the body of Pollard was postponed until - Tuts ! day, at one o'clock, and the Court then adjourued, at a quarter before 12 o'clock. At the close of the Inquest, it was proposed by the Jury to raise a subscription to reward Jepps for his bold and manly conduct, in taking Pollard into custody. CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE.

BO ROU G 11-STREET. • Joseph hull:osier, jun: the proprietor of a booking-06u, la Ili& eadilly, corner of the Regent's Circus, called the Steam Packet Office, was on Saturday brought before Sir Geosog Faaaawt, and enderwent a fourth rumination, upon the charge on which he if held in custody. namely, breaking open parcels booked ..t this offi to be forwarded to different places, and appropriating the come' is to his own use. Charles Abbot, the booh.-kreper, who is also in custody nn charge preferred against him by Jo.eph Lancaster, sen. th•? r of the 'other prisoner, who, on the last examination, directly accuse,l Abbot of breaking open a parcel of Mr. Addison's, and taking a 101. no e from it, was also brought before the Magistrdtg, Lancaster, sen. on Saturday, abandoned, by the advice of his So licitor, the above charge against Abbott, but produced-an old wo man to support another charge of 1 similar description against him. This old woman, who goes by the name of u Judy," being sworn, stated, that she had been for some time in the service of Messrs. Lancaster, sen. and jun. at the Steam Packet office, as servant of all•work—that she knew Charles Abbot very well, and that out the eve of Christmas day, the said Charles Abbot, in her presence, brofe open a large parcel that bad just before been booked at the dice. and dragging oat of it a pair of blue trowsers, and a black velvet waistcoat, gave them to her to pledge for what they would fetch, and that she accordingly did pledge or pawn them at the shop 1 pawnbroker, whom she named, in Princes-street, Leicester-squire, who advanced her 425. on the articles. The pawnbroker in question was in attendance, and produced the trowsers aid waistcoat as described, and said that the old woman did certainty pledge them on the eve of Christmas, as she had stated. Charles Abbot, in answer to this fresh charge, declared that this old Judy never pledged an arttcle for him in her life, but that she was in the constant habit of pawning hundreds of things for young Lancaster, and that the latter must have [sent her with these trow sera and Waistcoat, and not he, Abbot; but the old woman was now brought forward to make this charge against him because he had disclosed the practices• Several questions were now put by Mr. Harmer, who attended for Abbot, to old Judy, and she confessed that this was the only oc casion on which Abbot had ever asked her to pledge any thing.. She also acknowledged that she has often taken Abbot's Coat, which be has stripped oll'his back for the purpose, by desire of young Lancas ter, to raise a few shillings on it for the use of the latter; but she still persisted that it was Abbot, and no one else, who sent her to pledge the trowsers and waistcoat produced ; she denied positively ' that she had ever pledged articles for Lancaster, or in his name. Several pawnbrokers,whu were in attendance with property named on duplicates found in the possessitst of young Lancaster when ap% prehended, declared, in opposition to the assertion of Judy, that she was in the constant habit of pledging at their shops in the name of Lancaster. This part of the case ended with the committal of Abbot fur fur ther examination on Wednesday, and also the committal of old Judy fur gross prevarication. There were, as at 'bit former examination s Iseveral persons present whose property vanished through the Steam 'Packet Office, but none of them could identify any of that produced by the pawnbrokers.
