(. 0 17111 OF ALDEB3I.E. N A Court of Aldermen was held yesterday at one o'clock. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided, and there was a fell atteudance of members of the eourt. Alderman and Sheriff J. C. LAWRANCE made a report of the state of the City gaols, and the number of prisoners confined therein, by which it appeared that there are at present in Newgate, 138,in White cross-street 87, and in Holloway prison, which is unusually full, 422 prisoners. It was also stated with regard to the last mentioned prison, that there were 8 of the prisoners in the infirmary, and 47 out-patients. Alderman HUMPIIERY said he thought the last statement required some explanation, He did not understand what was meant by the "out" patients of a gaol. Did it mean patients who were at liberty, and came to the gaol every morning for their medicine ? (A laugh.) Mr. Sheriff LAWRANCE explained that the return Was made according to tho printed form. All that was meant by " out" patients was prisoners who were not ill enough to be sent to the infirmary, but who were seen specially by the surgeon. (Hear.) Several members of the court expressed an opinion that the form of the return should be amended, as at present it seemed rather ambiguous, and Mr. Sheriff LAWRANCE said there would be no difficulty in carrying out the wishes of the court with regard to future returns. LEET JURIES. The leet juries of the ancient manors of King's Manor, and Guildable Manor, Southwark, made their usual presentme Ana uisances, inconveni ences, and obstructions, also as to the sanitary condition of these manors, and they were referred to the General Purposes Committee for considera tion. CITY BROKERS. The following gentlemen were sworn in es brokers of the City of London :—Messrs. Frederick Clark and William Sheldrick ; Messrs. Robert M. Nicholas, C. H. Greeves, and Joseph De Castro were allowed brokers; and Mr. W. H. Skelton was discharged from the office upon his own application. STORING OF PETROLEUM. The General Purposes Committee made a report in reference to the application of certain parties, in conformity with the statute, for permission to store, in one case, 200 gallons, and in the other, 400 gallons of petroleum upon their premises, and they recommended that both applications should be re- jected. Alderman Sir F. G. MOON having put a question with reference to the report, Alderman FINNIS said that the committee had come to the resolution that was before the Court partly from their own knowledge of the dangerous and inflammable character of the material in ques tion, and partly from a very careful report made by Mr. Catty, their own officer, as to the unfitness of the premises respecting which the application was made for the reception of such a material; and as they believed it would be dangerous to the public if the applications had been acceded to, they felt no hesitation, upon the grounds he had alluded to, in recommending the court to reject the applications. Alderman SIDNEY observed that there was not the least doubt that this article was of the most dan gerous description, and this was so mach the opinion of practical persons, that in every case where petro leum was permit ted to be stored, the insurance offices required an extra premium for insuring the build ings on each side. This court was acting solely in the interest of the public in refusing applications like those now under consideration, and any parties who felt themselves aggrieved might go to the Court of Queen's Bench and review the decision that had been arrived at by the magistrates of the City of London, if they thought proper to do so. (Hear.) Alderman W. LAWRENCE said it appeared to him that a very grave responsibility devolved upon the magistzates in reference to this matter. It was their duty to take care that no inflammable and dangerous material like petroleum should be stored in places where an explosion might be productive of most serious mischief. The act of Parliament gave a power to any one to store petroleum to an extent not exceeding 4n gallons in any place without a license, and in his opinion this was too large a quantity. (Hear, hear.) The magistrates of the City of Lon don were, however, determined to do all in their power to protect the public, and the dt cision arrived at by the committee was calculated to effect this object. (Hear.) The report was then unanimously agreed to. Some matter of a private character was then dis cussed with closed doors, after which the court ad journed. 711 E REALM OF LONDON. (From the Registrar General Report.) The mortality of London was still high last week, but it showed a decrease on the excessively high mor t a lity of the previens week. The deaths in the last week of November were 1,745 ; in the week that ended last Saturday they were 1,619. The mean temperature of the air in the former week was 37.1 deg. ; last week it was 44.8 deg. The average number of deaths in the first week of Dec. in ten years, 1852-61 is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,393. Hence it appears that the deaths of would have occurred week were 226 in under the excess of the nu mber that average rate of mortality. Pulmonary diseases, exclusive of phthisis, were fatal in the week to 341 persons, against 470 in the week that preceded it (the corrected average being also 341)_ Bronchitis caused more than the ave rage mortality, but notwithstanding the late cold weather, the deaths from pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs) did not exceed 80 last week, whilst the corrected average of that complaint is 118. . . The excess in the total mortality rises to a grea extent from the zymotic diseases, measles, scarla tina, and typhus, to all of which numerous fatal cases were referred. There were 91 deaths from measles, 5 of which occurred in the east sub-district, of Islington, 4 in Camden-town, 5 in Houton, 7 in, Bermondsey, and 4 in Battersea. Scarlatina wa fatal in 88 cases, 6 of which were in the sub-district of St. Mary, Paddington, 5 in that of Kensington 4 town, 4 in that of Whitecross-street, 7 in Peckham. Disease of the heart was returned in 92 cases, and showed a large increase on the average, which is 53. The deaths of nine nonagenarians were recorded in the week ; the two persons of greatest age were respectively 95 and 96 years. Two infants, one in Marylebone, the other in "Pentonville, were suffocated in bed " from want of fresh air." I Lis+ week the births of 914 boys and 915 girls, in all 1829 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding wee''s of the years 18 52 _ 61 the avera g e R number (corrected) was 1840 . At -• the height of the yal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean barometer in the week was 29 . 647 in.

They are.to be of black walnut, clear of knots, 4ft. long, and lthn. wide. D. W. Kolbe, of Philadelphia, advertises to furnish artificial limbs at 50 dollars for each limb amputated above the knee joint, or 35 dollars if amputated below the knee Jilagaztne. 7 COMMISSION OF SEWERS• Yesterday at 12 o'clock the Commi , sioners of Sewers met at the Sewers Court-room at Guildhall, for the despatch of public business. Th , Chairman, Mr. H. De Jersey, presided, and amon the commis sioner, present were Alderman Copeland, M.P., Alderman Sir F. G. Moon, Alderman Sidney, Alder man Hale, Alderman Allen, Alderman Besley, Al derman Conder, Deputies Elliott, Harrison, Gam mon, Harker, Cork, Read, Unwin, Fuller, Butler, Bower, Fry, Hawtrey, Lott, Pewtress, and Rath bon e ; Messrs. G. Walter, H. L. Taylor, S. T. Young, Kebbel, Israel, T. S. Owden, Stillwell, Farlow, Brass, J. Waterlow, Humphreys, J. Saunders, &C. ELECTION OF SOLICITOR TO THE COMMISSION. Some routine business having been disposed of, The Court proceeded to the election of a solicitor to the commission in the room of the late Mr. C. Pearson. A discussion took place, which was originated by Deputy Harrison, as to the desirability of the Court ordering the withdrawal of strangers whilst the Court discussed the provisions of one of the stand ing orders of the Common Council referring to elec tions. _ _ _ Alderman COPELAND and Alderman SIDNEY op posed the proposition, urging that the Commission was a public body, appointed under act of Parlia ment, and not responsible to the Common Council for its acts, The proposition for the withdrawal of strangers was, however, carried. Upon the re-admission of the public, it was de cided that the number of candidates should be re duced to two by show of hands, and that the elec tion should then take place by poll. There were five candidates, viz., Mr. A. J. Baylis, ward clerk of Cripplegate ; Mr. Jenkinson, Mr. Gresham, Mr. Poutifes, and Mr. U. M. Roche. Upon a show of hands the names of Messrs Gre sham, Pontitex, and Roche were struck out of the list. Upon a poll being taken for the remaining two candidates the numbers were—For Mr. Baylis, 28; for Mr. Jenkinson, 22; majority, 6, The CHAIRMAN then informed Mr. Baylis of the decision of the Commissien, and complimented him upon the position he had attained. Mr. A. J. BAYLIS returned thanks for the honour conferred upon him, and said he trusted that his future conduct as the solicitor to the Commission would fully justify in their estimation the choice , which they had made. THE CAREITRETTING PROCESS. A memorial was read from the inhabitants of Bow-lane and vicinity, complaining of the deficiency of the public lamps in that neighbourhood by rea son of the application of the carburetting process. Deputy LoTT denounced the process as a complete failure. _ Mr. H. L. TAYLOR admitted that a sufficient ligh was not given in the public lamps in the City, bu expressed his opinion that the gas company was to blame, they not liking to supply a smaller quantity of gas than that heretofore required. (Hear.) Mr. SAUNDERS maintained that the carburetting process was by no means a failure. All that was re quired was a proper supply of gas and a proper ap plication of that process, and then, he said, the best and cheapest possible light would be obtained. The memorial was ultimately referred to the General Purposes Committee to consider and report. The Court to-day received proposals for the supply and keeping in repair 1,770 gas meters, to be affixed to the public lamps in the southern dis trict of the City. THE SANATORY CONDITION OF THE CITY. Dr. Letheby, the medical officer of health, pre sented his quarterly report on the sanatory condi tion of the city of London, which was as follows: " 642 births have been registered during the quarter, and 606 deaths. In the corresponding quarter of last year there were 839 births and 640 death ; and the average numbers for the summer quarters of the last 10 years are 808 births and 780 deaths. The falling off, therefore, in the proportion of births has been at the rate of nearly 20 per cent. and of the deaths about 23 per cent. " The distribution of the births has been as fol -1 'vs :-287 have been in the eastern division of the City, 155 in the western, and 200 in the central. These numbers are in the annual proportion of 28.2 per 1,000 of the inhabitants of the first-named dis trict, 22.8 of the second, and only 17.5 of the third, making a total of 22.7 for the entire City. In the whole of England the mean proportion of births in the summer quarter is at the annual rate of 32.8 per 1,000 of the population, and in the metropolis it is 32.5. In the city of London, therefore, the pro portion of births is considerably below the average. This is remarkable as regards the eastern and western divisions of the City, for in those districts the birth-rate is generally a little in excess of the average. " Of the 606 deaths in the City, 262 were regis tered in the Eastern division, 145 in the Western, and 199 in the Central. These are in the annual proportion of 25.7 per 1,000 of the inhabitants of the first-named district, 21.3 of the second, and 17.5 of the third—making a general total of 21.4 for the entire City. In all England during the summer quarter, the annual death rate is in the proportion of 20.4 per 1,000 of the population ; and in the chief towns of England it is 23.8 per 1,000,—50 that, excepting the Eastern division of the City, which is the most densely populated, the mortality has not been equal to the average of a town death rate. " As usual the largest mortality has been among children of less than 5 years of age, and next to these the largest mortality has been at the ages of from 60 to 70. Of every 100 deaths in the quarter, 38 have been among children under 5 years of age, 10 at from 5 to 20 years of age, 14 at from 20 to 40, 19 at from 40 to 60, and 19 at 60 and upwards. The infant mortality, although large, has not been "ex cessive ; for in the whole of England it is about 41 per cent. of the total deaths ; and the average num ber for the corresponding period of the last seven years in the City is 44. It is only in the Eastern Union that the proportions have been large : there it has amounted to 45 per cent. of all the deaths. " These are classified in Table 111. of the appen dix, and the chief facts of interest are the follow • ing :—Tubercular diseases have declined from a general average of 156 in the quarter to 138, (t hi ne flux from 66 to 33, and chronic maladies from 187 to 164. Inflammatory affections of the lungs, ex clusive of phthisis, have, however, advanced from 56 in the quarter to 64, and zymotic diseases from 114 to 132. Tho chief increase in the latter has been from continued fever and measles ; the former has advanced from an average of 28 deaths in the quarter to 38, and the latter from 15 to 42. The exact causes of this are not apparent. " Fever of a low typhoid character has been very generally prevalent throught the country, and we in the City have not been exempt fromhere it. were but 18 In the cor responding quarter of last y t deaths from the dise ase ;in the succeeding quarter the number advanced to 39, then to 44, and lastly to 53. That was the number returned in the spring quarter of the present year. So that, although the summer quarter is generally more prolific of this malady than the spring quarter, the number of deaths has actually declined from 53 to 38. The sickness returns among the poor do not, however, show so favourable an aspect. In the correspond ing quarter of last year the number of fever cases attended among the poor of the City by the union medical officers was but 46, in the present quarter it has berm 263 ; in the spring quarter the number was 223, in the winter quarter 129, and in the au tumn quarter of la s t y ea r 141. There has, there fore,reached been a pro gress i ve i ncrea se of the malady for the last 12 mon th s , an d d ur i ng t h e l as t th ree M onths it ha hedts o alsocim of power whi c h i s not Measles a a s e le s h a e o x x a . li si i l b y it a e o d oo n o n ne e t r a ra f t o ic r. ou l t u bu t r h s e t summer quarter of last year there were but two deaths from th e diseearse, and in each of the two suc ceeding quarters ther e we re but seven death s ; th en however the number r ose to 36 ; and in last quarter it was 42. The rise and in i p n r a o t g ed re b ss o y t f h d these maladies appear to be clearly d decline of the mor t ali ty but the tahevraenacel cause an d returns of these fluctuations are not di scoverable. That the worst localities of the City ha ve b een as usual the chief seats of the disease is an undoubted fact; THE RUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENTING, DEOEMBEIR IQ, WM Railway Station, and booked for Cherry Tree Sta tion, near Blackburn. When we got to the station we walked forward to Blackburn. We separated at Banksop, in Blackburn, and I went home. When we were on the road to Preston, we stopped, and George, who had the money, said there would be about £4O; but when he opened it, it was not all gold. He had the money tied up, and some of it was silver. He divided the money amongst us. Weeach got £4 Ns. 6d. The money wa s i n a fl anne l. H e threw the flannel away. The day after we returned to Blackburn I went down to Dan's. He said that George and M'Phail were out drinking, and that they had hired a cab. When Dan struck the old woman's head he made it rattle. The crowbar was thrown away over a hedge, not far from the old woman's house at Ribchester. When we got out at the Cherry Tree Station we met Bill Lanklen, flagger and slater. This is all I have to say. I have given this statement without any promise or reward. I have been very uneasy in my mind ever since. I thought of making this confession before I was ap prelicuded, but I have not done so until now." Mr. Higgs, superintendent of police, said that he intended to rest Hartley's case upon his own con• fession, and he asked_the magistrates to give their decision. but then again there is no part of the City which has been entirely free from either of the maladies. "The mean temperature of the quarter, 59.1, has been a little below the average, 62.7; and the range of temperature has been from 76.2, that of the first day of August, to 48.9, the temperature of the 11th of September. The mean fluctuations of tempera ture during the day has been 15.5 degrees of Fahrenheit; but in many cases the daily range has been above 17 degrees. Nothing peculiar has been noticed in the pressure of the atmosphere, for the range of the barometer has only been from 29.49 to 3028, the mean of the whole quarter being almost exactly the usual average, namely, 2991. So also with respect to the humidity of the air, its condition has not been remarkable. In the first week of the quarter the amount of moisture was nearly 90 per cent. of saturation, but frequently it has been less than 70, and nearly always less than 80. The total rain-fall of the quarter has been 5.84 inches, and the number of wet days 42. These are almost the average for the corresponding period of the last four years. The temperature, therefore, as well as the rain-fall have been such as to keep the Thames in a wholesome condition. " The details of this are tabulated in the last two tables of the Appendix. Altogether there have been 1,295 houses inspected, and 796 visits made to the common lodging-houses of the City. These have resulted in the issuing of 622 orders for sanitary improvement. " The markets and slaughter-houses have been duly inspected, ' and the officers have seized 30,8591b5., and 1,357 head of game and poultry, as unfit for human food ; 19,3381b5. of the meat were diseased, 7,9351b5. were putrid, and 3,5861b5. were from animate that had died from accident or disease. It consisted of 100 sheep, 33 pigs, 5 calves, 207 quarters of beef, and 162 joints of meat. Lastly, it may be mentioned that 20,3941b9. of the meat were seized in Newgate and Tyler's markets, 6,9501b5. at Leadenhall, and 3,5151bs of it at Aldgate. All of it was at once sprinkled with carbolic acid—the creosote of coal-tar—and then sent to the boilers. The magistrates then committed Hartley to the next Lancaster assizes for trial. The prisoner, William Woods, who had: been apprehended as an accessory, was then placed in the dock ; but there appeared to be no evidence whatever against him, and the magistrates dis charged him " without the least taint upon his cha racter." The examination of the prisoners was resumed yesterday,when about 30 witnesses wore examined, all of whom, more or less, corroborated the state ments made by Hartley, who has been received as queen's evidence. GROSS INHUMANI7Y OF A MOTHER. Yesterday morning Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, the deputy coroner, resumed the adjourned inquiry at the Wellington Tavern, Cannon-street, St George's in-the-East, respecting the death of Margaret Jack son, aged 15 months, who died, from starvation and negket, in the workhouse of St. George's-in-the- East. The mother of the child was present by the authority of Sir G. Grey, the Secretary of State, in charge of the police inspector (Allison) of the K division. _ _ _ "During the quarter, three persons have been brought to justice, and convicted for having sent diseased meat to the City markets. They are Win. Samuel Speller, of Woodford, in Essex, who was sentenced to six months' imprisonment ; William Neville, of Kingston, in Surrey, who was sentenced to three months' imprisonment and £5O penalty ; and William Crust, of Ashford, in Kent, who was fined £lO and costs." The Court after transacting some other business adjourned. It will be remembered that the mother had been charged with a violent assault on Mrs. Johnson with a poker, because she remonstrated with her on her bad treatment of the deceased, although she was married and drew £2 ss. a month from her husband's half-pay. She earned money besides, and was con stantly in the habit of leaving the child without food, locking it up in a room, so as to prevent any access to the child. She would go out drinking at public-houses and leave the child for days together. Upon the resumption of the inquiry, The A. , ,sistant to Dr. Turtle was examined at length, and said that he knew the mother as a drunken woman, and when he was called to see the child she was lying dead drunk under the bed. The deceased was quite naked, with the exception of a few dirty rags upon it. He found the deceased dying, and much emaciated from long-continued neglect and starvation. The child died on the fol lowing day, and when he called he heard that the mother was in custody for an assault. After some other evidence, ♦ The Coroner summed up the case, and remarked on the evidence, when the jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter against Margaret Jackson for caus ing the death of her offspring. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial at the ensuing sessions of the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey. - and observed that since a better perfame could be received not a fraction for his money beyond the had from essence not containing the poison, there sample quantity manufactured under his own ob was no reason why any t hat did con t ain i t should nervation, and he further ascertained that M.Farina introduced to him was a person named Imhoff, and continue to be sold. In this case the chemist had . that the labels, &c., shown him were the genuine marked "poison" on the bottle containing the es- labels used by the veritable Cologne film. A diffi sence, but probably it was that word which sug- culty occurred in the case with regard to the iden gested to the deceased to make use of what she had tification of M. Farina, it being stated that there w purchased for a perfume as a m eans for destroying were no less than 34 vendors of eau de Cologne of life. It was notorious that t he p oisonous essence the name of Farina in Cologne, and three or four of the same name as the firm personated by Imhoff. was very generally sold. Other cases were then gone into, from which it ap- The jury found that Constance Vanden Alleele peered that Pearson, with the prisoner's assistance, committed suicide by taking essence of bitter al- had obtained goods of Mr. Haliley, a manufacturer mends contained in hydrocyanic acid, and that when of Earl's Heaton, in Yorkshire, to the amount of £3OB. He held a bill of £l5O at four months, and she did so she was in an unsound state o f mind. there was still an open debt of £l5B. The bill was not yet due. Mr. Ellis, of the firm of Demas, Ellis, and Co., of Dudley-hill, Bradford, Yorkshire, said he opened an account with Pearson in August last to the amount of £l5O, and was afterwards introduced by him to Newman, with whom he represented he was about to make arrangements that would place him (Pearson) in a splendid position. He explained that Newman's brother-in-law, who was a gentle man farmer, was about to retire from business, and that he would place £1,500 at his disposal. New man!slso said he was going to assist Pearson in his business, and asked witness to oblige him by dis counting some bills which he had by him to the amount of £473. He advanced Newman £7O on the bills, and he had not been able to find any per sons whose names were on them. Mr. Tolson, of Dewsbury, said in August last Pearson, Johnson, and Newman selected goods to the amount of £134. The two former, particularly Johnson, represented Newman as a man of means, that he had a farm at Dorking, and that his wife's relations were very rich. Witness asked for refe rences, and the names of Demas, Ellis, and Co., Walton and Co., and others who are now prosecut ing the prisoner, were given. He drew on Pearson for the amount, and afterwards Newman and John son called and wanted him to supply a quantity of inquiries, grey blankets, but from other which did not prove satisfactory, he was induced to stay the execution of the order, and told Newman he would supply no more goods until Pearson's bill was re tired. Newman produced a quantity of bills which witness had previously seen in Pearson's possession, and left three of them with witness, and on the fol lowing day deposited £7O (the same money re ceived from the last witness on the bills to be dis counted), with him to induce him to execute the order for the blankets, and to give him references for other firms to supply him with goods. When, however, Newman found he could not get the re ferences, he threatened witness with law proceed ings to recover the bills and the £7O, and sent him in a bill for watches and musical boxes, which were not worth a third of their invoice prices. The £7O and the watches, &c,, value £27, were all he received for his £134, as the bills were valueless. Walter Penn Francis, formerly under clerk to the prisoner, was called to prove that, so far from his master being a man of means, he had frequently been denied to persons coming for money, and that when sought by the sheriff's officer he concealed himself beneath one of the desks of the office, when his clerk gave out that he had gone to the Exhibi tion. He produced the prisoner's letter-book, con taming copies of letters written by persons who used to come to the office in Fenchurch-street on business. Very few of the letters were written by the prisoner. Some of the bills referred to bore the following names, which were read aloud in open court—Lewis Robess and Son ; Bernet and Co,, Southampton-street, Strand ; Martin and Co., Hat ton-garden ; Chabry and Co., B loom field-street ; Kennicke and Co. ; Clarkante and Co. ; Humphry and Co.; Poloek and Co., Bush-lane, City; Bernard and Co., St. Mary-at-Hill; and Clermont and Co., Fenchurch-street. The prisoner, in a most excited manner, declared his innocence, and challenged inquiry into his bank ing account at the London and Westminster Bank, where his transactions were entered to the amount of £4,000 and upwards. They had made him a bankrupt since he had been in custody, although he was perfectly solvent, and he therefore insisted upon the case being closed at once or his being admitted to bail, so that he might carry on his business. He complained that the prolonged imprisonment was undermining his health, and he therefore demanded to be sent before ajury. Alderman Besley said the case had been thrown into great confusion, and it was necessary, therefore, to remand it till Saturday, on which day he would accept bail for the prisoner if any further remand were applied for. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—DURHAM, TUESDAY. THE BROADMIRES MURDER. The jury found a verdict of guilty againet Cox and his wife. They were both sentenced to death. The bitter, however, was respited, being enceinte. It was a late hour before the case concluded. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—SIIREWSSUAY, Dec. 8. (Before Mr. Justice Mellor.) Elizabeth Boughey, a married woman, aged 35, was charged with the murder of Clement Boughey, on the 13th August, at Drayton-in-Halls. Mr. Boughey and Mr. Warren prosecuted ; Mr. Benson defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner, while a pauper in the Drayton Union, was delivered of a male child, the subject of the present charge, on the 28th July. On the 13th August she left the Union, taking the child with her. Previously she had remarked to a witness named Stubbs concerning the child, that " it would not take much to kill a little buffer like that." This observation was supposed at the time to be uttered in jest. When she was about half a mile from the Union she was seen to beat some thing in a bundle against several gates. The bundle was opened, and the child was found dead within it. Dr. Saxton examined the Ludy bhui Ely after it was discovered. He found many bruises on the head, and one very severe one behind the right ear,- from which blood was oozing. He made a post-mortem examination the next day. He found that there was a fracture of the skull, and gave it as his opinion that the death was caused by violence such as might be inflicted by striking it on a gate. The child was in a healthy state. It was scarcely cold when first examined. The effusion of blood under the skin satisfied the doctor that the bruises were caused during life. There was a ligature round the neck of the child, but not sufficiently tight to cause suffocation. On cross-examination Dr. Sax ton said that the total suppression of milk (a sign observed in the prisoner) was a bad sign. This would indicate fever. Puerperal mania might be re ferred to hereditary causes. Dr. Saxton, who knew the prisoner's family, said her mother was weak in in tellect, and the sister an idiot ; that in puerperal mania a person might be under an irresistible im pulse to commit an act which she knows to be wrong. In his opinion, the woman was allowed to leave the Workhouse too soon. From what he heard he thought the prisoner very likely to have been t subject to the puerperal mania. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and sen tence of death was pronounced. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—WINCTIESTER, Dec. 9 (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) Joshua Oldham was indicted for maliciously wounding Martin Gibbs, with intent 'to murder him. There were other counts in the indictment charging different intents. Mr. H. T. Cole prosecuted, and from his state ment, which was afterwards proved in evidence, it appeared that the prisoner was a convict in Portsea convict prison. On the 17th of November the prisoner, with other convicts, was employed in the dirt ground, sorting rubbish that was taken out of the ships and putting it into carts. The convicts were furnished with shovels for the purposes of their work. On the morning in question the pri soner neglected his work, and picked up bits of biscuits and carrots, contrary to the prison regula tions. Gibbs, the warder who had charge of that party of convicts, desired him to attend to his work. For a short time he did so, but then he again picked up bits of biscuit. Gibbs then told the pri soner he shouid report him. In it minute or two after this the prisoner came across to Gibbs and said, " Master, are you going to report me ?" Gibbs told him to go on with his work. The prisoner said, "I will, sir;" but almost immediately after he turned round an struck Gibbs a violent blow on the side of his head with a shovel. The effect of the blow was to fell Gibbs to the ground. The prisoner then struck Gibbs another blow with his shovel on his head while he was on the ground. The prisoner was about to strike a third blow when a workman named Slade rushed forward and pinned the prisoner's arms and made him drop the shovel. Gibbs then called to the convicts to assemble and go in. The prisoner then said, " There are too many hero for me to complete my business." This observation, however, was very differently related by two persons who professed to have heard the prisoner's statement. Gibbs had suffered very much from this ill-treatment. The prisoner, in his defence, said he admitted having struck Gibbs, but he did not intend to kill him. He was irritated because Mr. Gibbs had threatened to report him. The learned Judge, in summing up, said it was for the jury to say whether the prisoner's real in tention was to kill and murder the officer, or whether his intention was such as was charged in the other counts of the indictment. It was a very serious case, and they must exercise great care. The jury found the prisoner guilty, with intent to do grievous bodily harm. The prisoner was then sentenced to 15 years penal servitude ; but, as he was being taken from the bar, asked how it was to be carried into effect. We presume, if he does not obtain one of Sir Joshua Jebb's tickets, ho will in time discover how the sen tence will be carried into effect. Robert Oldham was indicted for uttering a forged check. Mr. Way prosecuted; and Mr. H. T., Cole ap peared for the prisoner. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Way said he was instructed by the directors of the London and County Bank that this young man, staying in the house of Mr. White, and being in want of money, and knowing Mr. White had an account at the London and County Bank, had been tempted to utter this check. The directors said it was a case in which they would wish to recommend the prisoner to mercy on account of his extreme youth. No loss had occurred to any one, and he rusted his lordship would be es merciful as he ,hought would be consistent with the ends of jus ,ice. MARYLEBONE.—DESPERATE ENCOUNTER.— I A determined, desperate-looking fellow, apparently about 35 years of age, who gave the name of Henry Hearne, bootmaker, of Somers-town, alias Wells, the sweep, was charged with breaking and enter ing the house No. 9, St. George's-terrace, Regent's park, and stealing therefrom a large amount of property belonging to Mr. G. Dalzell, Prisoner was also further charged with a series of despe rate assaults in order to effect his escape. Mrs. Dalzell said—l returned home last night, having been out to dine, about half-past eight, and found the house in the possession of an inspector of police. From the cupboard in my bedroom T missed a deal of property. (Witness enumerated a large quantity of property, consisting principally of male and female wearing apparel.) The wardrobe and drawers were pulled to pieces and ransacked, but nothing taken out. There was fresh blood on the shirts, which had been pulled about. There was also blood on the wall and on the stairs, and on the mantel-piece and table in the drawing-room as well as on the door there were marks of bloody fingers. Nothing had been taken from this room. In fact there were blood marks all over the house. Thomas Brady—l am minding the house No. 1, St. George's-terrace. Yesterday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, I went out for an errand, and on my return found the area door and window broken open. This induced me to search every room in the house, and on look ing out of the attic window I found an umbrella. Standing in the gutter of the roof of No. 2 was the prisoner without hat or shoes. He spoke to me, but Ido not know what he said. I closed the window and ran downstairs, with the view of getting assistance, when he (prisoner) dashed open the window and pursued me. As I got to the foot of the stairs into the hall the candle dropped, and prisoner seized me by the neck. He placed his hand inside my collar and neckerchief, and with great pressure forced his knuckles into my throat. I struggled heard with him, holding him by his clothes, until at length I managed to open the street door and raise an alarm, when the pain and pressure on my neck, as well as his blows, caused me to fall down quite disabled and almost unconscious. Two men came and took him, and with these he fought desperately. Prisoner, on being asked by Mr. Mansfield if he had any question to ask, replied sullenly, "I do not think it was me. I was drunk." Barry showed his neck, and there was a very severe bruise from the pressure. John Blower said—l heard a guttural sound of " Murder" and " Police," and on going to 1, Glou cester-terrace, I saw the last witness and prisoner struggling on the step. Prisoner had his hared in side Barry's neckerchief, who was nearly strangled. 1 seized him, and with assistance held him in the hope that a policeman would come, the prisoner struggling and fighting desperately all the time. White, a park-keeper, came up to assist, and after waiting some time longer for a policeman, and find ing none coming, they proceeded with the prisoner to the station-house. On the way he resisted ter ribly, and said to me, "I daresay you think you are doing a good thing for yourself, but a fiver' will do you better." This offer I declined. ['The route to the station which they took the pri soner was about a mile, and during the whole of this journey not a single police. officer was seen.] Prisoner—He has told a great many lies. Jeremiah M'Cormick stated—A lady came out from 11 in the terrace, and implored us to go in as there was thieves in the house. I went through the house and rooms, and on the roof of No. 1 I found a pair of boots and a " billycock" hat. By the side of the door of the cock-loft of No. 2 were all the articles produced, and identified by Mrs. Dalzell. At the cock-loft door of one of the houses a gentle man came and pointed a pistol at me, which very much frightened me, Wm. Welsh, a labourer, heard cries of " Murder" and " Police," and as he ran to the door prisoner ran against him, and he seized him. Sergeant Mason, 28 S, stated—This morning I went to Mrs. Dalzell's house, and found the attic window broken open near the fastening (Witness then described the marks of blood about the house, as stated by Mrs. Dalzelt.) On examining the pri soner at the station his left hand was found cut in a great many places, and smothered in blood. At the station he claimed the hat and boots as his property, he having been taken to the station without h a t or boots. The sergea nt asked for a remand, as he be lieved he should be able to bring other housebreak- Mr. Ma( against r o h e t i m h m e t d s e d u the iv is 0n ) prisoner was fora istpgaa,kokteo former convEctions, casespresentWeelt{o. and also to h . being a ticket of leave. Mr. Cole said the family of the prisoner was most respectable. The learned Judge, in passing sentence, said he felt himself placed in a very painful position, This was a commercial instrument—a check upon a banker. It was necessary that such cases should be treated with severity. He had been re commended to mercy by the directors. His parents had suffered more severely than any severity of punishment he could inflict, and they were very anxious he should be treated with leniency. Taking everything into consideration, and that no money loss was incurred, the sentence would be three years' penal servitude. Several uninteresting cases have been disposed of during the day. Alfred Smith was indicted for burglariously breaking into the workhouse of the guardians of the poor at Southampton. Mr. Bere conducted the case for the prosecution. The evidence went to show that the workhouse bad been broken into, and a very large quantity of articles stolen, and that the prisoner two days after wards was found offering the goods for sale at Winchester. The jury found the prisoner guilty of larceny, and he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. POLICg INTELLIGENCE.—Dec. 9 , GUILDHALL.—ALLEGED CONSPIRACIES TO DE FRAUD.--Ferdinand Arthur Newman, alias De Nie mann, described as a merchant, of Fenchurch street, residing at 48, Coleshill-street, Pimlico, was brought up before Mr. Alderman Besley for further examination relative to the charge of conspiring,wit h a man named Pearson, to defraud Mr. Jeremiah Walton, a woollen manufacturer of Yorkshire, of goods to the value of about £l,OOO. There was al©o another charge against the prisoner for conspiring with a man named Imhoff, to oefrand Mr. Reginald Chauncey, a retired army officer, of several sums amounting to about £6O. The circumstances with regard to the first charge have already appeared, hut With reference to the second charge it transpired that a person of the name of Imhoff, alleged to have been acting in col lusion with the prisoner, represented himself as the well-known manufacturer of eau do Cologne, Johan Maria Farina, and agreed to sell the recipe for making the scent for a sum of £lO, Newman under taking, on b e i ng a d m i tte d a partner with Mr. Chauncey, to manufacture the eau de Cologn© at such a low figure as to leave a very considerable profit. A s amp l e quant i ty was manu f ac t u red i n Mr. Chauncey's office with success, upon the strength with gth which Mr. Chauncey was induced to p a other su ms , am o u nting in the whole to about r £6O, the purchase of materials for ,manufacturing pur poses. 'lt however appeared that ,Mr. Chauncey SOUTHWARK.—THE ANTI-GAROTTE MOVE MENT.—'Thomas Johnson and Sarah Johnson, his wife, the former a shoemaker, living in Barron's place, were placed at the bar before Mr. Combe, charged with being drunk and disorderly in the public streets, and the female was Also charged I.TIE BIBCHES7ER MURDER. Five men, named Duncan M'Phail, Daniel Carr, William Woods, and Benjamin Hartley, who stood remanded on the charge of murdering an old woman named Ann Walne, at Ribchester, on tho 11th ult., -- . were again brought up on Monday, at the Black. burn Police-court. __ The court was crowded, and the greatest excite ment prevailed on account of it being understood that the prisoner Hartley, who had previously in timated as much, would make a full confession. Benjamin Hartley was first placed in the dock. Mr. Higgs, superintendent of police, said that hey would first take the case against Hartley, who had made a statement of the whole circumstance Inspector M'Nab said, that at the request of the prisoner Hartley he visited him in his cell. Heard him say that he felt very uneasy, and that he wanted to make a clean breast of the affair, as he had no rest for several days. He was duly cautioned, and he then said :—" I am a steam-loom weaver, and live in Blackburn. I have known Duncan M'Phail about three months. I became acquainted with him at Thomas Bowling's. I have known Daniel Carr for about 15 years. I have known Geo. Woods about 6 months. We were al) friends. M'Phail came to my house in the week before the murder of Mrs. Walne, and said that he had been over to Ribchester ; that he had seen an old woman who kept a beer-shop ',Mrs. Walne), and that she had sold a cow for her . .. rant. He then said, 'We must have the money, for I am fast for it.' He said, 'Dan and George and thee and me will be enough.' I then said that I cared nothing about it. He told me that he had seen the others, and that we were to meet on Friday night following, at six o'clock, on Salford.bridge, in Blackburn. On the night named M'Phail brought his trap to the bridge, where we all met him; but we objected to go, as it was moonlight. We did not go to Ribchester that night. We went home, and on the road we arranged to go on the following Sunday evening. We met at Dan Carr's on the Sunday evening; but George Woods was drunk, and we decided not to go to Ribchester that night, but that on the following Monday evening, whether the weather was wet or fair, we would go. M'Phail accordingly came to my house on the even ing of the 10th ult. He said he had seen the others, and they had gone on to Salford-bridge. We then set off together, and on the road met the other pri soners, Dan Carr and George Woods. William Woods was not with us. Carr had a cane with lead on the end of it. George had a stick like it. He had also a crow-bar with him. M'Phail had a dark lantern and a pistol with him. I had no wea pon. We then started for Ribchester together. It was a rough night. We got to Ribchester about eight o'clock. We went through the village, and as we were going on M'Phail said, There's a foot path up to the old woman's house; let us take it ; it will be the quietest.' As we were going up the fields we came to a barn. We went into it, and stayed there until about twelve o'clock at night. M'Phail had some rum with him, and we all drank of it in the barn. At twelve o'clock we left this barn, and went to that belonging to the old woman on the opposite side of the road to her house. We laid down on some hay near the cows. When we had been in the barn for some time M'Phail said, It's time to begin.' He then went out. Carr followed him, and then Woods, and I last. They told me to stand at the end of the house for the purpose of seeing if any one came up the lane. They said they would go and examine the window at the back of the house. tihortly after M'Phail came and shouted, ' Come here.' Then he said, ' I will get up the steps at the end of the house and jump over.' M'Phail said they bad got the back window out, and then he said, 'ln with you.' George Woods got in first; I followed ; and then Dan Cerr and M'Phail. Dan lighted the lamp, and he and M'Phail plundered about downstairs. George and I went upstairs. As soon as we got upstairs we saw the old woman. She was sitting up in bed. George said, Where's thy money ?' She began screaming, and I got hold of her and held her down on her back. George then commenced rooting about the bed. Then we went downstairs. When we got down Den and M'Phail were looking about into the clock and the cupboard, and all around the house. They had a lighted candle. At this time the old woman screamed, and George and I and Dan went upstairs. I held the old woman on the bed, and D w a oak n mea d nle, re ss h w sde o ia u ud. c this cane and said, "I'll make her m but t e htheemniaasied it, med a abulodweaatugthhte my hand. Ho hit my left hand. [Hartley has a bruise on his left hand, apparently caused by some heavy blunt instrument.] I asked him what he was doing, and he replied, Have 1 hit thee?' After that he struck the old woman twice on the side of the head, and she screamed out, Oh, dear me, you have killed me!' George Woods held a light whilst this was going on. We all then went down, when Dan said, ' She must be tied.' George then got two handker chiefs, and he and I tied the old woman's hands. Whilst we were tying her down Dan and M'Phail were searching the room. We then left the old woman moaning. When we tied her hands we had no light. When we first went upstairs and when George asked her where her money was, she made no reply. We then left the house and ae alked up the road, thethrough L f, o o n m g r d o g n e g , r a i nd on t d g et o r Preston. eston7 a n Whilstdwh when u la ° te n Ribbleton Moor, near the latter place, George took the lead out of his stick and put it in his pocket. Dan Carr gave his stick to George, and he took the lead out of it, and then threw both sticks away. M'Phail and George went through some brickfields. When we got to Preston we went into a publichouse near the House of Correction, and had two glasses of whiskey each. We paid for our own drink with silver. After that we walked down to the Preston MYS7ERIOUS SUICIDE. On Monday Dr. Lankester held an inquest touch ing the death of Constance Vanden Alleele, a foreigner, aged 33 years, who died at the house No. 90, Newman- street, Oxford-street, ou Thursday evening last, under very melancholy circumstances. The first witness examined was Mr. Bernard Zuccatti Bulliotte, who deposed that the deceased had lived for some months in his employment as housekeeper; that she left his service three or four months ago, and went to live at the house No. 67, in the same street ; and that on Wednesday last she came and applied to him to allow her to occupy an apartment in his house. He permitted her to do so, telling her at the same time that, an he was about to leave this country, he could only give her tem- porary accommodation. She went up to a bedroom in his house on Wednesday afternoon, and as she did not come down on Thursday, he proceeded to the room about seven o'clock on the evening of the lat- ter day, when he found her in her night-dress, leaning against the side of the bed, and working in violent convulsions. Observing at her feet a small bottle labelled " Essence of almonds—poison," be raised an alarm, called for milk and vinegar, and sent for doctors. He poured quantities of milk down her throat, and Mr. Harding, surgeon, and another medical gentleman were speedily in a!- tendance, but she died within an hour. He had no doubt that she had taken the poison herself. Why she had done so he knew not. This witness was closely cross-examined by some of the jury, but all they elicited from him was that he was unmarried, kept a housekeeper and another servant, and some times let out portions of his house. The next witness was a girl named Fanny Clarke, who said she was servant in the house No. 67, Ne ro man-street, which was kept by Madame Dermer, a dressmaker. There were several young ladies in the house. She could not tell how many ; she hg a h atek i h Constance, gre. e or Some f h They also worked at the d mm lived in the house. m d t e hm c e eased, was housekeeper t r o ea sudst o o e tu ofr. the deceased, there for the three or four months previously to Wednesday last. Witness lived as servant to Mr. Bul'iotte when Constance was his housekeeper. In the beginning of last week the deceased purchased a marrow-bone, and asked witness to buy her two ounces of castor oil and sixpennyworth of the essence of almonds. She did so, and the chemist who sold her the latter marked it " poison." The bottle found at deceased's feet was the one which contained it. Previously to Madame Constance leaving No. 67, she had partly made the marrow I which she had extracted from the bone into a pomade. For some weeks deceased had cried in cessantly, and complained of headache. Witness had no master at No. 67, but she sometimes saw Mr. Bulliott© there. Bertha Wetzler, a native of Berlin, was exa mined through Mr. Albert, the interpreter. She said she was one of the ladies in the house, No. 67, Newman-street. Each of the ladies there had a " friend." Deceased was housekeeper there. She also had a " friend." Constance had frequently told her that her life was a burden to her, and about three weeks ago she asked witness whether she would like to take poison with her. Witness declined. Shortly before Constance left the house she heard loud words between her and some other person, but she was in her own room at the time, and could not tell who that other person was. Constance had been crying perpetually for some time, but on being asked the cause said she could not tell. An old Frenchwoman, named Madame Steiff, who was also examined through M. Albert, stated that shortly before her death a Madame Delamere went to deceased's room and asked her whether she would have anything. Deceased said she would take some coffee, and within half an hour afterwards, while it was being prepared, M. Bulliotte went upstairs and found her in convul s i ons . Mr. Harding, M.R.C.S , proved that the caus e of death was hydrocy an i c ( pruss i c ) a cid, contained in essentill oil of bitter almonds. This witness ex• plained that the latter article need not of necessity contain the hydrocyanic acid, and that when it did not, it was not only free from poison but - also a bet ter perfume than when it contained that deadly poison. He had made several experiments on dogs, and found that in no case did the essence of almonds without the prussic acid kill the animal, while four drachms of it with that acid killed one within an hour, and five grains killed a very strong dog in stantaneously. Dr.Lankester concurred in Mr.llarding's opinion, with having in her possession firearms for an us% lawful purpose. Police-constable 142 L said, that between 11 and 12 o'clock on Monday night he was in Webber etret t, Blaekfriars-rood, when be saw a crowd col kcted at the end of Barron's-place, He proceeded there, and saw the prisoners in a beastly state of intoxication, abusing each other and causing a mob to assemble. As soon as he went up to the female the latter said he was a garotter, and should not take her at present, and took a pistol from under her shawl. He soon wrested it from her, and took them both to the station-house, and charged them with drunkenness and riotous conduct. Mr. Combe asked if the pistol was loaded. tiV itness replied that it was, right up to the muzzle. The female said that if it was loaded there was no cap on it. The constable replied that when he took it from her the cap was on, but for safety he threw it off directly. Mr. Combe asked the female why she carried such a weapon. She replied that it belonged to her father, who left it at her house on Sunday night, and she had taken it up for the purpose of carrying it to hitu, when unfortunately she got too much to drink. Mr. Combe asked why her father brought such a weapon to her house. She replied that he lived a long way off, and she supposed he was afraid of the garotters. She, however, promised not to get drunk again. Mr. Combe discharged the prisoners with a cau tion, and directed the pistol to be detained by the police until the rightful owner claimed it. LAMBETH.—JEALOUSY AND ITS FATAL CON' SEQUENCES.—Frederick Pearce, a mechanic, wee brought up on remand, and placed at the bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton, on the serious charge of causing the death of Thomas Searle, by kicking him on the head with his hobnailed boots. Police-constable Joseph Brewer, 118 P., said that on the night of Saturday week, while on duty in the Old Kent-road, he was called in at No. 1 2, Wood's-buildings, where he found the deceased , Thomas Searle, lying on the stairs, with three e%" tensive wounds on the head, from which the blood was streaming. He found the prisoner in the nest room, and asked him why he did it, and he replied, " Because he went with my wife." Searle appeared to be in so dangerous a state that witness felt it to be his duty at once to remove him to Guy's Hos pital, where he had since died. The witness here produced the heavy hob-nailed boots worn by the prisoner, and pointed out sever al marks of blood on the right-footed one. In reply to a question from the magistrate the witness said , that a coroner's jury was appointed to investigate the case on the following day. a Ann Wheatley said she was a single woman, lived in the same house with the prisoner and I wife. On the night of Saturday week shd was downstairs when the prisoner, his wife, an the deceased, were upstairs, in the prisoner's roore• She heard a quarrelling, but did not see the injuries done to Searle. Mr. Norton—Prisoner, the charge against you is one of a very serious description, and it is therefor: my duty to caution you that anything you may sea will be taken down in writing, and may be us e ' against you elsewhere. Having heard this caution' you are at liberty to say what you please. Prisoner—Well, Sir, he was always after 03 1 wife, and took her away no less than three tiree e l while I was obliged to take away my children en " provide for them. After that she came back tome; and said we should go to live at some place wh et ( ' he could not find us out. We took a place en, brought home the children, but he soon found ni out, I have no doubt by watching me home, en e came there as before. On the evening/of Satur day week I came home at four o'clock, when I foun d 113 4 wife was out drinking with Searle, who came h e m with her, and of course I did not like to find th eoi together. t? Mr. Norton—How many children have you g ° a Prisoner—Three, Sir; and the oldest is bets/ Ye eight and nine years old. Mr. Norton—l must reman d y ou t o a future d m l: o have the medical and other testimony before — The prisoner was accordingly remanded.
