W►u;:~ Li TE 11.4 TUR E. ic e s ee pleased to find the Berrien Carrie edam] to the li st of Quarterly/ Reviews. The motives which have hd t h e conductors to adopt this plan of publiadion i ss not c fail to be warranted by the result. It was to he wetted that a work which has for its oldect so Inspire t h e popular mind with an attachment to the true Protestant a sts i e d religion, the priciples of which uphold at once t he !lurch and the State, should not long ere this have chang ed the plan of monthly publication, atteaded—as it could not fail le have beet —by evils inseparable from it. It is not poss but that the most valuable works would be those to which it was least in then power to do justice. Th o se who arc accustomed td the ink of reviewing, well know that the conseqnences which lurk within even a sin gle fibs principle cannot be effectively developed without co nsiderable pains ; it ii_utair towards au author to pan sente nce upon a work whi ch has cost him years of labour, ' with such a slight and hasty examination of the evidence as to a monthly critic is Unavoidable,. Tie cannot, if he would, discharge his duty comscientiously. He can neither do justice to his own talents, Nos to those of his author. Ile must pass rapidly over topics which require to be gravely handled, and must dismiss, with slight- notice, works to which his attention is sharpened, not by the mag nitude of the subject, but by the necessity of being pre pared for the first of the intend) ; a necessity which leaves Ito time for intelleetnal efforts, anti to which all the dims of critical justice must be subordinate. It is--- "to remedy these evils, to 'bestow upon the works smiler review greater space, where it is required, Anil in all cases more time for mature deliberation and inquiry ; to meet the growth of literary taste in the public mind with increasing meats and exertiosts ; in Klein, to render their Iteriew more efficacions, interesting, and comprehensive ; and thus give to the principles they advocate, that place sad prominence in public opinion, which they so eminently merit:-much is the end which the Editore .of the Bei GA (*Mir contemplate in the alteratien they are about to make." The Editors hate dose tritely. The progresi of know le Ise in society must be met by adequate exertion ; the ro bust state of intelleet mint be fed with aliment suited to is condition. They hose given sufficient proof of their ability to supply this dernenil in the articles which one. hellis what may be considered the specimen number of their new series. It is refreshing to observe the Improved tone of liberality in which theological controvessy is conducted of late years. We regard this as among the strongest proofs of our ad toncement in moral as well as mental science. In the article, for instance, in the present number, which has maidenly been drawn up at a great expense of thought and investigation—we allude to the " View of the Roman Catholic Doctrinee—a restful 'subject to totrch upon— the writer, t .I.b he is never deficient in earnestness, betrays no unusoing zeal. Ile conducts his arguments with great skill, but without the least asperity ; he reasons ably, and with a conclusiveness that arises entitely from his being master of the gubject. His refutation or Dr. Dot La is complele; and the.thne of clissimal and gentle manly feeling in which it is conveyed makes it doubly im prenive. In proof of this, we will extract what is said nyder the head of " Faith with Heretics. - " It is so Ni' from our intention to write any thing which may tend to irritate, that we would willingly hare avoided the present topic, and have admitted with oat reluctance that the French and English Romanists of the present day do not hold the principle that 'faith t' sot Cu be kert with heretics.' But when we are rid:en:red to produce .ray authentic documents of the church of Rome, in proof of tit.' opieion ewer having been maintained ; when Dr. Doi is, with unparalleled boldness, tejies the idea with indignation, and dictum that it is a 1 tenet ' too blasphemous to be contemplated,' it becomes necesaty to say something, lest we should seem to submit too humbly, and too consciously, to this twofold imputa tion of ignorance and calumny. " Of the light, then, in which heretics arc to be regard ed, we may form a nigicient judgment from the following your, which Dr. Pllll.l.Porrs has qUotisl frt m the Ca tecaun or Taman., translated (as he observes in a note) int) English, by permission, Dublin, 1916. • Heretics and schismatics do not belong to the Church, any move than vagabonds or renegadoes belong to an army from which they ran away. Yet it is not to be denied, but that they are in the power if the church, as those who tray be judged by her, and condemned with an anathema.' There ran be no question, then, that the ancient principle of the Romish Church, ' ( Insole herelicms cat rxrontrunniculits,' is rill retained by the Roman Catholics of !Retests." After proceeding to show most fully that the principle that " faith is not to be kept with heretics" was among the known and received doctrines of the Church of Rome, and after instancing its practical application in the ease of Jolts Huss, having done all that wag necessary in support of the assertion which Dr. Doyle so sweepingly repels, the artiole thus concludes:— " In what Wecaresaid on this part of our subject, we Five not the most remote intention of bringing any insinu ation against the Roman Catholics of France, England, or Ireland. %Vc acquit them of all such principleswe re peat that every word that we have written, has been written in oar own defence--aoti for the purpose of showing, that charges of this kind are nut to be whistled away as horrible imputations, as Prot,stagt calumnies, or to he treated as doctrines which see, r prevailed in the court of Rome. We do not assert that they were cyst, Articles of Faith: nor, is say the truth, do we tare whether they were or not : it Tpent to us to signify very little, if a person be committed the flames, whether he is burned on an article of faith or a priicipic of 1 iw. " There are many other topics on which we should have wished to speak; but, for the present, we must be silent ; and we hope that we have kept the pledge which we gave at the beginning of this article, of refraining from all die courteous expressions, anti from every thing that might tend to czcite any feeling of irritation. We have explained, with what clearness we could, some of the leadmg tenets of the Roman Catholics, anti have assigned our reasons fur rejecting th.ts.—r...it we have brought no charge against throe individuals ot this empire, who adhere to their an cient faith ; we have not willingly imputed to them any tenets they di sc l a i m , or accuse d them, in arty way, of insin cerity, diihonesty, or disguise. Our full belief is, that the Raritan Catholics sf the United Kingt.om, from their long resirleace among Protestants, their ittsuse of processions and other Rornish ceremonies, have been brought gradual ly, anti almost unknowingly, to a more spiritual religion lad a parer faith—that they themselves see with sorrow the disgraceful tenets and principles that were professisi and carried into practice by their forefathers—anti are too hod of removing this disgrat from them by denying the former existence of these tenets, and ascribing the impute- - non of them to the calumnies of the Protestants. This We count allow; and while we cherish the hope that they are flaw gone for ever, we still amert boldly anti fearlessly that they did once exist. lint, while we allow a great degree of impnivemeni. to lire taken place both in the principles and practices of the ltotnanists, there is still enough, and more than enough, l ft in the doctrines of that religion as they are acknow- Ilged and professed to contirm every Acclaratio.. ,t than which is contained in the Articlt s of the Church of Znflimil—and to those declarations wa ndhcre firmly and without restriction, iialificitictl : cr PEACE BETWEEN SARDINIA AND TRIPOLI. The following important lettet was reeeived ytisterday.at Lloyd's from their agent at Genoa, dated October 10 : His Sanlinian 1110esty't ship, the Commerce of Genoa, torn ' mended by Commodore Sevori, arrived in this port yesterday ramm ing, from Tripoli in the 11 - cat, with news that the differences exist ing bettreen the King of Sardinia and that Regency had been settled ins satiafaciory manner fm theforiner, although not with out hoof ng been obliged in have reomirse The following is a statement of what is currently re ported to have taken place on thisoccasiuk Without answer ing, however for its correctness, se nothing official bag yet been published on the **fleet : ' it is said the Sardinian squadron, consisting of the ships as per note at foot, on arrival off Tripoli, sent a message to the Bashal, informing him they had come to land the Consul ; that the Bashaw returned an answer, refusing to receive hint, unless certain sumo he claimed under various pretences were paid to him: on which it seems the Sardi nian Commodore sent on shore his ultimatum, intimating that unless the Consul was accepted without any payment, he must proceed to hostilities, and gave the Bashaw three days time to reflect on the matter ; that on the third day an answer came train the Bashaw, saying that he persisted in his resolution, on which Commodore Sevori made a signal to attack the place, which, owing to the abash; and shallow water,. was chiefly performed by the brig Nerelie and the armed launches, skiff's, and boats of the fleet, which kept a brisk fire on the castle and forts of the place. It is added the boats boarded, took and burnt three of the liashaw's et o'sers, which were laying in the port ready for sea, landed a body of men in the dock, and set fire to a Prig on the stocks, which was partly burnt ; that after this :le Bashes, sent the British Consul off to the Commo dore with a curie blaz4e to make up matters on the beat conditions he could ; in consequence of which hostilities ceased, the Consul was received, and the former treaties were solemnly ratified. It is farther reported, the said ship lost one man killed and hid several wounded en board in the action. lVe have not been able to learn what losses in men the other ships have sustained.

[From the Greenook Advertiser.] OOrIIOCX, TUESDAY, OFF. o'Crocx. There have been six boats dragging all day ; and at a quarter to eleven o'clock, the body of Captain Sutherland, and that of a soldier belonging to the 45th Regiment, were found. The body of the young man, whose linen was marked C. B. S., bras been claimed ; his name is Charles Bailey Sutherland. No attempts have yet been made to raise the Comet, for which the relatives of the missing sufferers arc naturally very anxious, as they anticipate there may be some of them on board. To-day the_Sheriff-Depute, and Mr. Williamson, Pro curator fiscal, have been engaged in examining the Master and Pilot of the Comet. The Master of the Ayr was ex amined last night, and liberated on bail. BRADFORD COJJBERS AND WEAVERS. (From the Leeds ifftelligenrer.l The manufacturers of Bradford interested in the " Strike" of the climbers and weavers met on Friday last, at the Court-house, Parley -street, for the purpose of ascertaining from each other what effect had been produced upon their former workmen respectively by the resolution passed yes terday week relative to the " Union," and the answers sub-. sequently given to the several deputations. Upon examining the master's returns, it appeared that only twelve or ftiurteen men, out of the whole body, had turned in. These, too, were persons of large families, and in very necessitous circumstances. The masters, after some conversation, then adjourned to Monday next, when they will assemble to consider the. propriety of revoking their late resolution, " That the masters shall no longer require their workmen to disclaim bping members of the Union." On Monday last the men held their usual meeting at Fairweather-green, sod passed the following resolution : " That in consequence of the arbitrary, contemptuous. awl an genskonsttly conduct of sac 'employers, in refusing to give us any advance whatever in our wages, we will now pledge ourselves never to return to our emphiment until our masters shall have consented to give us the whole of the .advance. which twenty weeks ago we required of them. (Bravo.) We will not again, under any eon. videration, consent to the least abatement being made in ow state. ment." ........ Though Tester was absent on a foraging excursion to Hull, the speeches were extremely inflammatory, and with the resolution of the assembly, well calculated to put the masters on their mettle. We have been assured, that some of the masters contemplate removing their manufactories to agricultural counties, where labour is cheap; and that Norfolk, whence long wool is mostly obtained, as well as a market subsequently for the yarn, has been under consider ;lion fur the above purpose. Time dullest man may be perfected in the art of combing in six months. Thu fol lowing letter is from our correspondent : BRADFORD, OCT. !6. The contest appears to have assumed a more decided and permanent complexion than it bad previously possessed, and seems as likely to labt twenty weeks as one. The modest langauge of the resolution passed by the workmen last week, was not caused by any failure in their resources; it was caused by more refined considerations. We are informed that the figure of a Hon intended to be places' on the top of the monument now erectiag on the field of Waterloo, was modelled from the great lion at Exeter 'Change, by a gentleman who came over expressly for the occasion.

I saw at the same time one of the Paddington coaches--one of Ball and Salmon's soultes. It was coining on M a very steady pace. It was driving within a foot and a half of the sewer which was raised. There was spaceenough for a coach to pass on the other aide end three or four feet to spare. I saw the gentleman's carriage catch the hind wheel with the splinter bar. The carriages were stopped by the chock. Mrs. liebaum and two or three other passengers and the coachman were thrown off. The panel of the carriage was broken, and the splinter bar of the carriage. The driver of the Padtlington stage called out in the oval wry. Mrs. Smith's coachman must have heard the warning unless he was deaf. Mts. Sebum was taken into a little muffin shop by the side of the way. I have seen the carriage frequen.ly since. It is green. It has the letters B. S. marked on the door, and also on the harness. I have seen it in Abingdon-street, standing at a house. Cross-examined by Mr. GI: ZINET. —The carriages wen going different ways. I cannot say that the panel of the carriage was broken by the wheel of the coach. I was on the aide where the private carriage was; the pole of the coach was broke, and the bones let loose.

I rem 'inks on the Ifith, fleorge Barton, the prisoner's grandson, being at home in the evening, lie liked me for some meat, which I gave him to eat. The prisoner was not at home then, but he came soon after ; I was cutting the meat just an the prisoner came in ; the grandson asked for a bit of lean, and the prisoner said it must be cut fair; I said " nonsense, I was cutting it fair."— The deceased then said " I must have some money ;" the prisoner had previously said that he should never come there again ; the deceased then d.—d his old eyes, he would come there or have his b—v life. The prisoner then desired the deceased to go and not come there any more ; the deceased repeated his former saying, and then struck him a hard blow with his flat I said " fleorge, for Heaven's sake, don't ;" he answered, " d—n his old eyes," and said he would have money, for that was what he wanted ; the pri. loner left the room for a short time ; he had money up stairs, but I do not know if he went for any 1 when the prisoner came back. he said to the deceased, " get out ;" the deceased said be would cot, and then he fetched the prisoner a blow with his list as before; he was a strung, powerful young man, aged ; the prisoner then struck hint with the dagger which lie basin his hand ; the deceased staggered towards the street-door, against which he leant. I told the prisoner to call the watch, or some one to suite ; I took hold of the deceased's hand and said, " George, what nonsense is this ?" what's the mattes ? the prisoner went for an officer and came back again, but did not offer to runaway ; I heard the deceased formerly say that he was determined to flare his grandfather's life, which 1 told the prisoner often ; the deceased threatened to rob the house, and dill rob it once ; he also threatened to have m 7 life ; when the deceased fell, I said to the .prisoner, " Oh, he's killed—llea killed —go and fetch the watch :" the prisoner heard me, but did not offer to run away ; when he came down stairs I did not observe any thing in his band. Cross.examined.—The deceased was a very profligate young man ; bus grandfather behaved to hint with great kindness, and tried to reclaim him ; from the deceased's uniform bad conduct, the prisoner was indeed in danger of his lira.

They would.. therefore, row consider their verdict. The Jury returned a verdict—" Manslaughter, under great Oa vocation." The Reconnect then addressed the ptisoner in a suitable manner, and said, that in consideration of his extreme age—his uniform kindness and humanity to the deceased under such re. petted provocations, the jtulgment of the Court upon him was—to be fined 40s. The prisouer is a very respectable looking person, and bowed to the,Court. When Mr. Harwood was discharged, upon payment of his fine, the' crowd in the court-yard was so great, that a gentleman very judicidusly prevailed on Mr. il'ontner to allow him to go out through the prison. He Was, however, recngr•ised In poising over to the New Inn, and hundreds of his friends and acquaintance pressed round him, to shake him by the hand and congratulate hint on his deliverance. _.....................„.

Three men, of whom the pri soner was one, came up t us anti said. tt Bete are one a piece for us," and the prisoner immediately laid hold of me by the arm, and pulled me about. • My husband then came up, and said I was his wife, and that we were not what they took us for ; if they wanted women there were plenty of that sort in the street, and mid him to desist. The prisoner said, " Faith, I don't know that, I shall do as I like about that." My husband told him to walk on ; prisoner immediately struck him anti knocked off his hat.

Prisoner made no answer, but kicked me in the belly. I was obliged to sit down on the kerb-stone immediately. I slid not see what became of the prisoner. I was then pregnant, and within six weeks of my time. My health had been good. When I sat down on the kerb-stone after the kick—l sou ashamed to mention what took place. (Witness at lam dawdled her situation.) I was led to the watchhouse—and thence home. I was never well after that, ti'l the birth of the child, oo the Wednesday following.

I told the Coroner and the Jury that it was Alfred Flaw la kicked me. The three men that came up were not 'ltitalike; one of rhea bad • lightish coat on ; and appeared t i baker, but I did not tell the Coroner that he was a baker.

I always pointed out Alfred Flower au being the person who kicked me. Daniel Sullivan—l am the husband of the last witness. I was going down Oxford-street on the evening In questinri ; I was be tween Rathbone.pinee and Newman street ; the first thing I saw was a young man pulling my wife by the arm ; I stood where I was till she came up ti me, for I was too Mr off to hear anything. I told him he had better go about his business. He followed me up and struck me on the neck, and knocked my hat off. We both . I struck at one another then. Ills hat was off too. We both tell down. When he got up lie took my hat. I saw my wife near the footway all the while. I told him that was my hat; and my strife, I who was before hint on the footway, said, " that is my husban d 's bat ;" and she put her hand Into the hat. Upon that the prisoner , kicked her in the belly. I had my eyes on the man Who did it, and lam sure the prisoner is the person. I saw my wife sitting down on the kerb-stone. I followed the prisoner, as I wanted my hat. He went up against a (lobe, and I went up to him and de manded my hat, and then the watchman came tip, and said tome. " you fodlish man. you don't know what you are doing ; take him to the watchhouse, and you will get your hat." When i got to the watchhouse. my hat was on the t-ker's head ; I mean by the baker, Alfred 'Flower. I told the watchhouse-keeper that the I i prisoner had my hat. The watchhouse-keeper then took it out of I the phisoner's hand, and gave it to me. lam quite sure the man who took me hat was the person who kicked my wife. The prim nee had a lightish coat on, but I cannot dmeribe the dress of the other persons ; neither of them had a light coat on. My wife com- I plained of being very ill. and 1 remember that the child was pre ' maturely delivered, and died on the Saturday night. Crosa-examined-1 had been this night at a charity chub, and making up some money for some Catholic children. 'Fliefe was some drink going on. The affray occurred between twelve and one at night. We were both struggling together, and both fell, and both our hats fell oft: That was before the kick. My wife Was quite near enough to see the whole affair. There were no per sons there but whst were in the row. There were 6 present, fi of them quarrelling and fighting. When people arc striking one another, that I call a row. Mr. Baron OARROW—In the neighbourhood of St. Giles's the term " row" may be well understood ; but we must know front the witness what he means. When a number of persons assemble to gether, with knives• sticks, and bludgeons, that is what I call a row. There are different degrees in such things. Witness—We struck only one or two blows each. I saw a per son named Gitson there, on Flower's side, but I cannot tell whe. I thee he was knocked down or not. My wife went to the watch. house, and I went there afterwards, anti weer her there. She slid not charge Edward Flower, the prisoner's broti.er, as the person who kicked her. Some of the Irish people came up, but they did not come to our assistance. My sister, Mary Sullivan, came up to us. Re-examined—l did not strike any other man but the prisoner, nor did any other hut him strike me. Cy 31r. Baron Bawstow-1 did not see any other fighting than what took place between me and the prisoner. I aril sure the man 1 fought with was the man who kicked my wife, and that the pri soner at the bar is that man. Simon Sullivan, brother to the last witness, described the affair in a similar manner. (The paw woman, who had been accommodated with a sent at the Counsel's table, fainted during the cvirlmce nt' this witness, and was taken out of Court. Mr. Justice Park desire:l that she might be taken Into an adjoining room, and every attention paid to her. William Nth, the watchman, examined—l saw one maw ran. ing down the street, and another man was down. I gat hold of the TIM that was running, and I then heard a woman cry " watch." I went towards hcr, and met the prisoner and another person running down the pavement. A little woman charged a young man about IU or 17 years old, with having assaulted her, but she would not say what halted done. I said to the woman who was injured, shy cannot you go home quietly ; if you do not, I will take you to the watchhouse all together ; upon which she said, she would gu if lie would give up her husband's hat (pointing to the primmer). The man taid he would give up the hat if he got his awn. The woman then etiargett line with having kicked her. She did not appear to have any thing the matter with her then. I took them all to the watchhouse. I heard the hush:ind there say thgt he 'was on before, and slid not see the man kink her; but she again pointed out the prisoner as the man who injured hcr ; but he declared he never bad witched her.

I saw her next morning about two o'clock ; the child was then born. without my assistance. The funie was round its neck, and caused a great discoloitretion.. The child did not come at its natural time. So far as I could judge the thee of gestation was not completed. saw toe child on the following mooing. There was a little enlarge ment on the child's surn. At Hest I could not tell whether it was a fracture, but I afterwards observed it wee not. There was no other appearance remarkable. I careful! examined the child, to tee whether there was any thing remarkable. The appeamoces were such as would naturally be produced by a premature birth. Cruse examined by Mr. ADOLTUCL-.-All the appearances were such as might resole from hard work, Over-exertion, or passion on the part of the mother, besides beim!, from external injury, except the mark on the arm, which might ham been done after the birth of the child. Ittr. Baron Gmtkew, in summing up the evidence, observed, that the cause had occupied no loner . tome than justice demanded. But after the most p a t ient investigation it hod been nutted by the last witness. whose exprience and scientific knowledge qualified him to speak on the subject, that he cobid not assign to the Jury any one single clrclanstence that would wailent him to say that ths child was prematurely deltvereel in consequ ence o f any externs ! i n . jury inflicted on th e mother. He would not have it go forth to the world, that where any man offered personal violence to a woman in estate of pregnancy, whereby he ncessioned death to the Infant, that he would not be answerable for it up to the full extent of mur der but in the present case he would :Arlie them to acquit the prisoner, upon this express ground, that the death of the child was net.conaidered to be occasioned by any act of his. The Jury accordingly returned a verdict of ~‘'‘d Gatlin/. nuaoci,Antrms IN PREFERRING BILLS BEFORE THE GRAND JCRY. Mr. Justice PARK said, complaints had been ,jade by IFIr. Stir. ling and others to the Judges, of a circumstance connected with the arrangement of the business of these sessions, which he thought ought with great propriety to be mode publicly known, and Le therefore took the present opportunity of noticing it. When ant alteration was lately made for the Judges to attend at this Court on Thursday initesd of Wednesday, at the coesusencement sf the ses sions, it was done upon the suppositioh shit the Grand,Juries would be able to find all the bills for capital offences in the county of Mid.. dime, and also a sufficient number of other bills, that might enable the tuber Court to go ow With the triali dnircenies, without procras tinating those which , were usually tried before the Judges . ; .but complaints had been made, in which it appeared that the clerk of the indictments, or some other person baring the management of this branch of the public business, preferred fire all the pelt cony cases which the Judges did not try,and kept the capitalcaitsis to a hit. period of the session, to the great inconvenience, he woad not say of theJudgea, es that was of no importance, but of•the public, and of Juries. /f Mr. Clarke or i Sr. St irliok should be able to ascertain with whom the fault rested and if it were found tp be with any of the o ffi c er s o f th e C ourt, hence/ publicly assured t hose persons, that en proof of the fact 'some very seriotts punlahenent would be visited upon them. And if he should find that the fault was with the parties themselves whose ditty it was to attend on the Grand Jury on the first day of the sessipn, it was his determina tion ncvei mallow any costs to such pemons whose conduct was so culpable, and tended so much to the inconvenience of the public. Mr. Baron GARROIV also expressed his displeasure at the !rte. gularity in the mode of preferring the bills before the Orand Jury ; and declared it to be his determination to adopt the same line of conduct towards the persona who were the occasion orit, as that which his teem e d B rot h er had resolfed upon . In addition to the inconveniences which had been mentioned as resulting from the practice ebniplained of. it occasioned inany persons to be kept hom their businesses and homes a much longer time than was re. cet.stry a , and put the county to great expense. 4tirliog--Will your Lordship allow me to say a few words in e xplanation ? Mr. Justice PARK said he was not going to enter Into any IMP cussion upsp 2 she isthiet t. He merely mentioned the circumstance that it might - be known to those whom it concerned, what it was the Judges intended to do in case the intesularity enntinued. Mr. Stirling told his Lordship he was not going to make a speech. Air. Justice PARK—We cannot hear you, Sir ; it is quite irre gular. Mr. Clarke explained to the Court that the fault did not rest with him, nor with Mr. Stirling. Mr. Justice PARIC—I dare say not, Sir. I am quite satisfied no Marne attaches to you ; and if either you or that gentleman will ascertain with whom the fault is, and will inform either of the Judges who,shall be sitting here, I have no doubt means will be taken to punialt the parties severely, should such irregularity be per sisted in. CHARGE OF MURDER. Joleis Rankin was indicted for the wilful murder of Mary Ann Hunt, on the 21st of September last, in the parish of White chapel. The priwner was also charged on the Coronet's .Inquisi. Lion of manslaughter. Mr. A NMI Ewa narrated the facts to the Jury, and called Eleanor Hoot, who said. Mary Ann Hunt, the deceased person, wait my mother. On the night that she met with her death we were lodging in 'George-yard, Whitechapel. There were thrre. beds in the room where we slept. One was occupied by the pri soner. another by me and my mother, and the third by Mary 111'Slollin. I ✓rent to bed on the night of' the 2lst of 'September at ten o'clbck. My mother came with me into the room : she was not quite sober. I left her up sitting by the fire. The prisoner was then in the room, and so was 111`Mulfin. My mother went out while I was awake, and came back when I was asleep. She awaked me between two and time ; there Was no light In the room. She desired me to get up and get a light; she said she had been to the young man's bed in the dark seeking for herown lied, and bad laid her baud upon his face. the was ADM with me for not hating had a light. I got up and struck alight, and my mother was then standing up he the side of het own bed. and the trout sitting up in his be". She appeared to me 'as if she hid slept herself sober, and I asked the prisoner if he would be so kind as td hand me a piece of Candle off the table. He made no an. sift, anti my mother then told me to get up and get it myself. My mother hit me anti pet the match out Which I had Just lighted ; she struck mt intentionally. I got into bed again, thinkingshere was no light wanting, as my mother was in such a passim with me. My mother sat down by the side of her own bed. Some words oc curred between her and the prisoner. He called her a d--d dirty old b---h, because she was mating a noise. She called him a d--d ditty thief. The prisoner said, if she repeated those words again, he would make her a d—d dirty merle. She did repeat the words, and he got out, rind I heard him hit my mother a very violent blow. I got between them and told him not to hit my too. Cher again. I held his hand and found he had • board in it ; it was the head-board of the bed. I went to the window to call the watch. lie had only struck me mother once. I otth.,l out for the watch, and heard the prisoner hit me mother again several times ; my mother never spoke after the drat blow. I told him he had murdered my mother, and he said the few blows he had given her cot:ld not have killed her. I then struck a light, and I found him near the bed where my mother was lying upon her back. I per ceived a large cut upon the side of the right eye, and another large bruise or lump upon the forehead, and another large one upon the back of the reek ; and a piece was struck out of the bridge of her nose. There was very little blood, but what them was came trout the eye. My mother appeared to be dead. She did no; speak. The prisoner was standing by the bed side, and I told him be had killed my ntather, and he said he had, and he begat, to dress him. self. There were two pieces of board lying on my mother's bed ; they appeared to be recently broken. I knew it to be the head board of his bed. I then tun down stairs and fetched Brown, the watchman, and left tile prisoner in the room. We met the pri. goner corning down. I told the watchmen that that was the man who bud murdered my mother, and Brow,. then told hint to go back : he accordingly went back, brit said nothing. The watchman followed him up in the room. When we came up my mother was there, lying in a straight position. I went to the watchhouse with the prisoner, who told me to go hack; I refused ; the wideltman then told me to go back; I heard the prisoner say that he had murdered my mother, and I must have justice done; I went to the watchhouse, and he was there locked op; that is all I know. 1 had not struck my mother that night; there had been no previout quarrel between my mother aril the prisoner. When my mother came in I hal such a view of her face that I was able to see that she had no' injure on her. By the prisoner—Hid you before the Magistrate say that your. self, your mother and ;mother woman, hail hail three pints of gin ? I said that there were three or four half pints of gin among lour of us thorn stairs, when my mother went to pay her rent. I said I had drank some of it. Did yon go to bed sober?-1 had part of the figure. !cannot say I was quite sober. The 31sestrate refused to take any eri. derwe the lain time I went. Mr. Il'iatt was the 31agistrnte. It was at the Lambeth Police office. He said I had not told the same tinry I had done before, and that he would not hear are again. The prisoner—She pre,urieatiod. my Lord.
