TILE ÜBLIN. An inquest was held on Monday on the body of Margaret Black, aged about 35, who was murdered by her husband in Dublin on Saturday last, as reported in The Sun of yesterday. The result of the inquiry was a verdict- of wilful, murder against Thomas Black, the husband of the deceased, who did. not appear at the inquest. During the continuance of the proceedings the street opposite to the house was crowded with people. James Black, the surviving child of the deceased, about six years old, examined—My father's name is Thomas Black. My mother's name is Margaret. I remember last Saturday night. My father and my mother went out together, as aunt Mary told me, for I was out. I was over at Molony's, in Patrick-street, where we formerly lived. I had not got my dinner when I went out. At Molony's I got a bit of bread from Maryanne Ryan, and that was all the dinner I got. When I came here first I found my mother's room door shut, and I could not get in. The door of this, my aunt's room, was also shut, and not being able to get into it, I went back to Molony's. I don't know how long I was at Molony's the second time. I came again to my mother's room and found the door shut. I tried my aunt's room, and finding the door open, went in. Before my father and my mother went out, there was no quarrelling or fighting between them. After I came home the second time, and had gone into my aunt's room, I went again to my mother's room door and said, " Dada, let me in." He said, Go along out of that," and would not let me in. The door was locked. I did not hear my father speak ing to any one, 'and I did not know whether my mother was then in the room or not. Before my father told me to go along out of that, I had been in father and mother's room. On that occasion my father desired me to light a candle, and I lighted one with a bit of paper. Then I saw my father kicking my mother on the head, she lying on the floor. I ran away. I did not see my mother after that. I ran away for Maryanne to try that my father would not kick my mother, and I was afraid he would beat myself. My mother did not scream or say anything when she was kicked. My father was kicking her a long time. He was drunk. My mother was drunk. I have often seen my mother drinking when she took drink with my father. I saw my father beat her in Sandymount a long time ago, and that is the only time I ever saw him beat, her. Mrs. Mary Quin, examined—My husband is a painter, and we occupy this room. The deceased was my sister. She was married to Thomas Black, a painter, and they occupied the back top rooni , adjoining this one. Black was in .Mul lingar, and . on his return, about a month ago, broke his temperance pledge, which he had pre viously:taken, and he has been drinking ever since. He always lived on good terms with his wife only excepting when he got drink. They were not on bad terms excepting that when he got drunk he beat her. He would take her out and give her a sup, and when they came home he would beat her. Last week, sitting at the fire, the deceased said to me that her husband had told her that sooner or later he would kill her and kill himself afterwards. Coroner—Was be jealous of her ? Witness—She often asked him when he was sober why he beat her, and he used to reply that he could not account for it, for that he loved her above the world. About eight o'clock on last Saturday evening I was coming into the house with coals when Black passed me in the hall, and he was roaring like a bull. He was standing at the foot of the stairs roaring, and a shopboy from Summers's came out and asked him what he was doing. He was calling his wife, and I said she was above. He made no answer. He was very drunk then—at least he let on to be drunk. I could not tell whether he was or not. I came upstairs, and putting my head into my sister's room, told her he was calling her. " I hear him," she said, and added that she was oing to him. I heard her going down stairs. I looked out of the window and saw an outside car a little below the door. They both got on the car. They had an image between them, which she had carried down stairs and given to him at the door. They both sat on the same side of the car, which drove down towards Patrick-street. She was surely sober at that time, viz., about eight o'clock. About four o'clock in the evening there had been a slight difference between Black and my husband in Black's room, about a reckoning of money. I heard it from this room. My husband went out after his dinner to Dempsey's for the purpose of inquiring how much Black got for a job. I went after him for the purpose of keeping him from getting drunk, because I knew that if he got any drink there would be murder between him and Black, for they were con tinually quarrelling. When I got to Dempsey's I was told by Mr. Dempsey that my sister and Black had just left. My husband was standing in the shop waiting to see Mr. Dempsey. It was before deceased and her husband took away the image on the car from their hall-door that they were drinking at Dempsey's. From the time they drove away on the car I did not see my sister until I put my hand on her person in her bed about half past 11 o'clock the same night. I kept my husband out on Saturday night until half-past 11 o'clock in order to prevent quarrelling. At that hour we came up here along with Kenny, of Black Pitts, who remained here a good while and sang two songs. While they were singing I slipped into my sister's room to see how they were going on. There was no candle in the room, only the light of the fire. I saw Black standing at the bedside with only his shirt on, and my sister was lying on the bed on her mouth and nose, and quite naked. I did not speak to Black, nor did he speak to me. I went forward to the bed and put my hand on my sister, and felt that she was cold. I thought they , were only going to bed. He stood motionless. I did not stay a moment in their room but came back here. I had no thought in life at that time that my sister was then dead. In a couple of minutes afterwards my sister's son came into my room. I asked him why he was not in bed in his own room, and his reply was, "My dada would not let me in." When Mr. Kenny went away I stripped him and put him to bed here. My husband and I afterwards went to bed. We arose, :ito the best of my opinion, about ten o'clock on Sunday morning. I got breakfast ready and was preparing to go to prayers. I told James Black to go into his mother's room for a loan of a cape for me. He did so, but immediately re turned, saying, " Oh, aunt Mary, come in, there's something. hen I went in and saw deceased lying on her back, with her head turned backwards. The bedclothes were over her, but when I raised them I found that her body was naked, and that she was in gores of blood. To the best of my opinion this was about half-past 11 o'clock, or closing 12. I instantly came back to my room, and said to my husband, " She is no more, ; he is after murdering h er ." M r . C oone y, a t the opposite side of the street, heard my screams, and came over. My husband went down for Mrs. Neil, and brought her up. Mrs. Cooney, Mrs. Neil and my husband went into the room. I can't say whether I went in or not then, I was in such a state The room was knocked and. tossed about ; the fender was broken and I found all my sister's clothes includ ing her chemise, torn into atoms and scattered about the bed and floor. The lid was off their tea pot. Dr. Ryan, I think, was then sent for, and came soon afterwards. Deceased had a new pair of boots on her, which I know her husband had bought her , on Saturday night, and which I took off. When the child went to the room on Sunday morning the door was open. Deceased only had stockings on besides the boots, and a piece of her chemise about her arm, at the time she was found. There was a chisel lying on the coalbox in the room, but there was no blood on it, and there was also a poker. At the time I went into the room on Saturday night a piece of the clothes tripped me up, and the rest were on the bed. When I saw Black standing at the bedside I thought that he was waiting to get my man, and returned to my own room. Surgeon George Porter—l have examined the "body of the - deceased; it bears the foll ow i ng external marks of violence, viz., a bruise on the right temple,. a bruise on the upper lip, an abrasion of the skin on the lower lip without the skin being broken, another abrasion immediately under the chin, another slight abrasion on the upper part of the chest in front of the left shoulder, a superficial cleanly incised wound passing from the right nipple about six inches across the chest, Laid lastly,. a wound about an inch and an eighth in length in the left side, just a little above the ter mination of the ribs. I attempted to pass a probe through the last mentioned wound, but could not for the following reason—the instrument that had inflicted it bad passed through the cartilage of the rib, which i s so elastic that as soon as the instru- went was withdrawn the edges of the several car tilages must .have come together so tightly as not to admit the probe. I opened the body, and, on open ing the abdomen found a large quantity of clotted blood. I found that the in s t rumen t th a t h a d in _ flitted the wound in the side had passed upwards, backwards, a: nd inwards towards the spine, passing through both anterior and posterior sides of the stomach, imn iediately above its great curvature, and had cat a cross the left renal artery--a large vessel that sal plies the kidneys—just close to the abdominal . aorta, which is the largest vessel in th e body. Fro ra -that wound the blood flowed which destroyed 1 ife. Blood must have flowed in such quantities is to have caused death in a minute or Iwo. The 1 lungs and heart were healthy. ' I found some little 1 )lood poured out under the scalp, cor responding to the • bruise on the right temple. There is no injory to the skull itself, and the brain and its ir len ibraner were healthy, The woman , a wound died of Internal haemorrhage producedky of-, the left renal artery; which must nave., been caused by a sharp cutting instrument.. There is no appearance of pressure on the neck, but I an't tell you how the abrasions on the chin or lips have been caused. A Juror—Would a kick produce them ? Witness—lndeed it would ; there also some hair in her teeth. I think the woman must have fainted almost after she got the renal wound. I really could not say what description of instrument caused the renal wound ; it must have been a sharp knife, and the instrument went in a good distance, but a chisel would have done it. I measured the wound with the chisel in the room, and found the wound to be a little longer than the edge of the chisel. The appearance of the lungs gives no indi cation of suffocation. The stays of deceased was produced; it was much torn, and had something like a long tear or cut on the right breast, and also a small incision on the left side, but there was no mark of blood whatever on it. _ Dr. Porter took the stays into the room where the body lay, for the purpose of making a further examination, and on his retnrn said that, by fitting the torn stays to the body, it was possible to make the tear or cut in it correspond with the wounds on the deceased's chest and side, but he could not swear that the stab was inflicted through the stays. The circumstance of the stays being wholly free from blood was not easy to account for, if it were on the deceased's person at the time of the infliction of the wounds. There were three slight abrasions on the knuckles of the left hand. The renal wound is very clean throughout, and the renal artery is quite cleanly cut. To a Juror—At the instant she got the wound she might have screamed. Anoiker Juror—There was no one in the room at the time. John Salmon examined—l live at No. 10, Deane street. lam a clothes broker. I knew deceased by sight perfectly well, and I also know Thomas Black by sight. I saw him getting shaved on yesterday morning in the shop of Browne, a barber, at about ten o'clock. He got shaved by Browne. He appeared to be sober. I heard Black say some th:_ng about a grey linen jacket which he had in his hand rotted up. He said that it went astray the night before, and that he had got it again. He was not more than five or ten minutes in the shop. I was sitting on a form at the time. Black did not get his whiskers shaved off. He did not appear to be excited, but spoke in a cool, regular manner. Mrs. Catherine Kelly examined—l live at No. 12, Deane-street. I know Thomas Black. At very near nine o'clock on Saturday morning I saw Thomas Black standing at his own hall-door for about five minutes, after which he walked up New row very quickly, with his right hand thrust into his breast, and his left hand swinging. He seemed excited—in a great hurry like—and I thought he wanted to be in time for mass at the Nunnery. Constable Thomas Bell, 164 A, examined—l was on duty on Sunday about 12 o'clock on the side of the street opposite to this house. Hearing a scream apparently proceeding from the house, I crossed over and asked a little girl at the door what was the matter, and she told me that there was a woman murdered. I came up stairs here, and on my way I heard a woman say that "he murdered her, and that he was gone." I went into the deceased's room, and saw Mrs. Quin there, crying; laid my hand on the body of deceased, which lay on the bed naked, and on her back, and found it to be quite cold. I saw the wound in her side, and the sheets stained with blood. I looked about for any instrument that might have inflicted the wound, and found the chisel now produced opposite to the bed, lying on the upper of two boxes placed on one another. I found no trace of blood on the chisel. I found her stays and some of her clothes on the foot of the bed, and more of them on the ground. Her chemise was on the ground, torn in pieces, and with blood on a portion of it. Her cape was on a chair at the foot of the bed ; it was not torn. I did not observe the fender or notice a poker. I left a con stable to take charge of the body, while - I made a report at Chancery-lane Station. I saw a straw bonnet on the table, which appeared uninjnred. Several chisels of various sizes and gouges, which belonged to the husband of the deceased, were pro duced to the jury, Catheiine Walsh examined—John Walsh, my hus band, is a labourer. I live in the front dining-room of this house. I knew deceased and her husband. I heard them coming up stairs on Saturday night ; I think at about eight o'clock, but could not exactly tell the hour. I heard Black giving his room door two or three kicks, and in about ten minutes after wards I heard deceased come up the stairs and call out " Tom" twice. He muttered something which I did not hear, and when she got to the top of the stairs she tuned up some sort of a song to please him, and after that I heard no more of them until she was found dead. To a Juror—l could not say whether or not either of them was then drunk or sober. The Coroner recapitulated the evidence, and said there appeared to be no doubt that the deceased had been murdered by her husband. The jury, without hesitation, unanimously found " that Margaret Black was wilfully murdered by her husband, Thomas Black, on the night of Satur day, the Bth of January." An order was made for the interment of the body of the deceased, and the coroner issued a warrant for the apprehension of Thomas Black, for the murder of his wife, who surrendered him self to the police yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon, and he was committed to gaol on the coroner's warrant. FIRALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) In the week that ended last Saturday, Jan. Bth, the number of deaths registered in London was 1,338. In the ten years 1849-58 the average num ber of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,227 ; but as the deaths returned for last week occurred in a population which has in creased, they should be compared with the average after the latter is raised in proportion to the in crease, a correction which will make it 1,349. The actual number of deaths in last week approximates very closely to the result obtained by calculation. The deaths from zymotic diseases, which in the previous week were 400, decreased last week to 317; but they are still rather above the corrected average, which is 299. Measles declined from 53 to 43, scarlatina from 135 to 119, whooping cough from 61 to 45, typhus from 52 to 31. Last week there were 15 deaths from small pox. There were 2 from intemperance, besides 4 in which the cause is returned as delirium tremens. A woman died from destitution in the Westminster workhouse, to which she had been removed before her death. Last week the births of 886 boys and €352 girls, in all 1,738 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1849-58 the average number was 1,561. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.421 in. The mean daily reading was above 30 in. from Dec. 31 to Jan. 8, both days included, and last Saturday it was so high as 30.526 in. The barometrical read ings varied from 30.25 in. to 30.56 in. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 35.4 deg., which is 0.6 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years. The thermometer in the shade attained its highest point, 43.5 deg., on Tuesday ; and fell to its lowest, 29 deg., on Saturday. The range of the week was, therefore, 14.5 deg. The mean daily range was 7.4 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 1.8 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 94 ; on Sunday and Tuesday the humidity 100 (or complete saturation). The mean tempera ture of the water of the Thames was 40.8 deg. On the last four days the wind blew from the north east. The amount of rain in the week was only 0.04 in. Fogs were prevalent. QUARTERLY SUPPLEMENT TO THE RE. GISTRAR-GENERAL'S REPORT In the 13 weeks that ended Ist January the mor tality in Lond on was high. The deaths registered in that peri o d rose to 17,688, whereas in the four corresponding autumnal periods of 1854-7 they ranged from 13,840 to 17,238, the latter number having been in part the result of cholera and scar latina in 1854. The excess of mortality in the quarter that has just passed arose from two causes • as scarlatina (including diphtheri a ), which has been extremely prevalent throughout th e period, and in the earlier part of it carried off about 160 persons in a week ; and bronchial complaints which became unusually fatal towards the end of Nove m b er, t h e air at that time having been remarkably cold for the season. Though the mean temperature for the quarter, 44 degrees, was high, the early severity of the weather and its quick transitions proved fatal to young and infirm constitutions. Pulmonary diseases, which include chiefly bronchitis and pneu monia, carried off 4,075 persons ; in the four corre sponding quarters the numbers ranged from 2,510 ' to 3,732. Scarlatina was fatal in 1,814 cases, 70 of which occurred in Westminster, 141 in .Marylebone (59 of these in the sub-district of Christchurch), 206 in Pancras, 84 in Islington, 88 in Poplar, 110 in Lambeth . These are some of the parts in hich it was rife. Of 471 violent deaths,.366 were by accident or negligence, 12 by murder or manslaughter, 63 by suicide, LAW IN: —Jura. 11. COURT OF QUEEN'S 'BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Campbell and Jug tines Wightman, Crompton, and Hill.) scuLLY V. INGRAM. time r i ßv r .. o mo il v l in a g pp o lid to n e beh the alfo fCourtthe to edef la en e d n an r t g f e or th a e new trial. He said the action was brought by Mr. Vincent lly against Mr. H er b ert I ngram, M.P. fraudulently re p resent i ng that he of the Castl e Hyde estate, in the forw as Bostth e S o Son, ownerf o ' county of Cork, whereby the plaintiff sa id he was prejudiced by being prevented from enforcing the payment of £9,000 owing to him by the late John Sadleir, and by losing the advantages of the estate. At the trial there was very little evidence to show how Mr. Ingram could have been benefitted by the alleged misrepresentation, or what motive he could have had in making it. The jury, however, gave a verdict for the plaintiff with £3OO damages. They came into court twice, and said that they could not agree ; and it appeared that half, or a certain number of them, were not prepared to find that the defendant was an accomplice with Sadleir in the fraud. Lord Campbell—They stated the ground of their doubt—viz., whether Mr. Ingram acted as an ac complice with Sadleir in the fraud; but I appre hend that they had no doubt as to his having been engaged with Sadleir in the scheme to deceive Mr. Scully. Mr. Bovill then said that the transaction tcok place in 1853, and that at the trial a mass of corre spondence was produced by the plaintiff for the first time, of which the defendant was entirely ignorant, and that the Lord Chief Justice kindly adjourned the cause early on the first day, that he (Mr. Bovill) might have an opportunity of perusing it. Before the trial the defendant applied for leave to administer interrogatories to Mr. Scully, which was refused; and the defendant never received the usual notice to inspect and admit these letters, which were for the first time brought to his notice at the trial. Since the trial the defendant has taken every means in his power to obtain infor mation as to the truth of the evidence given at the trial. Mr. Bovill then went through the affidavits to show what Mr. Baxter, the solicitor of Mr. Ingram, had done to obtain an inspection and examination of the papers of the late John Sadleir, in the possession of Mr. Norris, of Bedford-row • Mr. Doyle, the secretary of Mr. Sadleir ; and Messrs. Morrogh and Kennedy, soli citors of Dublin. It appeared that Mr. Scully was desirous that Mr. Ingram should have every par ticle of information that existed in connexion with the case. There was a mass of papers that the de fendant's solicitor had not been able to examine at present, but an entry had already been discovered in the books of Messrs. Morrogh and Kennedy, under the date of June 28, 1853, to the effect that they had received instructions to prepare an out line of the Castle Hyde estate, with a view to its sale to Mr. Dargan, and that there had been an at tendance upon Mr. Scully in respect thereof. If that be correct, said Mr. Bovill, there is an end of the plaintiff's case, as Mr. Ingram had abandoned the purchase in May, 1853, and Mr. Scully in the June following was dealing with the estate as his own. Mr. Justice Crompton—You can use that dis covery on the motion for a new trial. Lord Campbell—And for the present motion it is quite irrelevant. Mr. Bovill—We have asked for the papers re ferred to in that entry, and we want an opportunity of examining them, as well as the other papers of the late Mr. Sadleir. This is a question as to Mr. Ingram's maintaining his position in society and his character for integrity and honour. Lord Campbell—Mr. Ingram was engaged in various transactions with Mr. Sadleir. I believe Mr. Ingram stands in a most respectable position in society, and that his character was never im peached until this unfortunate transaction. - Mr. Justice Wightman—ls there any precedent for postponing a motion for a new trial in the hope of obtaining additional evidence ? Mr. Bovill mentioned the case of the " Duke of Brunswick." Mr. Justice Hill—The, language of the rule of court is very strong,--that the motion must be made within the first four days of term,—and there is no exception engrafted on it to let in an applica tion like the present. Lord Campbell —You had better be content with the intimation that this application cannot be granted, and that we desire to say nothing to prejudice your motion for a new trial. Application refused. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, Jan. 11, GUILDHALL.—George Gibson, who is charged with being concerned in the burglary and robbery of plate, money, and jewellery, to the value of about £2,000, committed in 1856 at the house of Mrs. Humphreys, a widow lady 80 years of age, residing at Stamford-hill, was again examined relative to that charge. Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared f or th e prosecu ti on ; and Mr. Beard, of Basinghall-street, conducted the defence. Eliza Cook, the young person whose hands and feet were tied by the burglars on the morning of the robbery, was recalled, and said,—l produce a silver watch which I saw my mistress wearing on the evening previous to.the robbery. Mr. Lewis—When you went upstairs in the morning and found your mistress half-smothered had she that watch about her ? Eliza Cook—She had not, sir. She usually wore it on a tape round her neck, but the tape was cut and the watch gone. Alderman Humphery—Had your mistress any other watches in her possession at the time ? Eliza Cook—Yes, sir. She had two gold watches, which were taken from a drawer. Alderman Humphery—Where did you get this watch ? Mr. Lewis—lt was taken from a warder named Payton, belonging to the Stirling Castle convict ship, from which the prisoner and a man named Slark were discharged. Alderman Humphery—But how did it get into Mrs; Humphreys's possession again ? Eliza Cook—lt was returned to my mistress after the trial and conviction of Fleckart, and my mis tress gave it to me. Inspector Langdon, of the N division, said,—The burglary took plac e i n Ap r il, 1856 , and in the May following I went down to Portsmouth and obtained a warrant to search the house of the warder Pay ton. I then went on board the Stirling Castle con vict ship, where I saw Payton. Alderman Humphery—How long had he been a warder there ? Inspector Langdon—About three years, sir. Alderman Humphery—But he is not a warder there now, is he ? Inspector Langdon—No, sir. He has been tried for receiving this watch knowing it to be stolen, but he was acquitted. I afterwards want to Payton's house, and his wife gave me the watch produced in his presence. I went down to ascertain if a man named Slark and another man named Elliott were discharged together, and if a remand is granted I shall be able to prove that the prisoner is the man who went by the name of Elliott. Alderman Humphery—How will you prove that? Mr. Lewis—l will prove it by Kelly, the officer from Birmingham, who saw the prisoner convicted in the name of Elliott. Mr. Beard—As these questions are put for the purpose of a remand, I will just ask Inspector Langdon a que.Aion. Were not all the facts which you have now stated in your possession on the last examination ? Inspector Langdon—They were. Mr. Beard—Then I contend there is no reason able ground for a further remand, as the prosecution have had ample time to get the evidence they now say they require. Mr. Lewis—lt is trifling with justice to object to these remands. This robbery took place two years ago, and I have to trace out the witnesses, who are scattered in all directions. Mr. Beard—The Newgate Calendar will give you the names of every one examined on the trial of Fleckart. Mr. Lewis—But it is two years ago, and the difficulty now is to find them. I shall on another occasion be prepared with two most important witnesses that I cannot produce at present. Mr. 'Beard—lt was intimated on the last occasion that a former conviction would be proved against the prisoner, but there is no evidence of it. Inspector Langdon—l have a letter here about it. Alderman Hnmphery then read the following letter : " Convict Prison, Lewes, Jan. 10, 1859. "Sir,—Your letter to the 'Governor of Portsmouth Con vict Prison has been forwarded to me. In reply to your inquiry, I have to inform you that George Elliott was con victed at Birmingham, March 17, 1852, of stealing a horse and dog-cart, and was sentenced to 10 years' transporta tion. Henry Slark was. convfcted at Maidstone 17th !of March, 1851, of- maliciously wounding, with intent, &c., and was sentenced to 10 years' transportation. "Both the above-named convicts were released on license from the Stirling Castle hulk, Gosport on the 31st of March, 18.56. " Warder Payton of the Stirling Castle, was tried in the same year at the entral Criminal Court for receiving a silver watch, the produce of a burglary, but was acquitted of guilty knowledge. ---I am, sir, &c. This letter was signed by the Acting Governor, and addressed to Inspector Langdon. Mr. Beard—l submit, sir, that is no evidence that this prisoner was ever convicted. Inspector Foulger, of the City force--We have traced the prisoner from his conviction at Birming „ . haul; in the name of ~Elliott;in 1852, to Ali an ft prison in the same year, and from there to Portland prison in 1853, and in fact up to his discharge from the Stirling Castle. Alderman Humphery—What has become of Slark ? Mr. Beard—lt has been intimated that he is in America ; but you must bear in mind, sir, that Slark has never even been tried for this robbery, so that there is no evidence that he was implicated in it at all. Mr. Lewis—The latest advices inform us that Slark is keeping a rat-pit in America. Alderman Humphery—Here is a description of Elliott in the letter addressed to Inspector Foulger by the Governor of the Birmingham Borough Prison :—Age, 25 ; height, 5 feet 41 inches ; com plexion, fair ; brown hair ; light hazel eyes, and long visage, marked with the small-pox. An officer present said the prisoner answered to that description. Prisoner—You had better put a rope outside and hang me at once. Alderman Humphery—You will hang yourself the way you are going on.' Prisoner—Well, you may as well hang me, for all the justice I shall get here. Alderman Humphery—You shall have justice. The Government have already given you two chances. Prisoner—Two chance ! The Government never gave me a chance at all. Alderman Humphery—lt is proved you were convicted in the name of Elliott, and transported for 10 years ; but you have been liberated long before your term expired. Prisoner—Well. if I was, it has nothing to do with this case. Alderman Humphery—But this young woman swears that you were the man whose mask fell off while tying her feet on the morning of the robbery. Prisoner—She cannot say that before God and man. Alderman Humphery—But she has said it. Mr. Lewis—Fleckart, whose sentence was death recorded, made the same asseveration. Alderman Humphery—l suppose, Mr. Beard, you are going to prove that the prisoner was' not there at all. Mr. Beard—Certainly, sir. am instructed that it will be proved beyond a doubt thiit he was else where when this robbery was - eommitted. Alderman Humphery—ltis a very serious case, . and I shall remand the pri for another week, for the production of furtlC aidpice. BOW-STREET.--Three stirs, named Thos. Fuller, Charles Orton, and Gebrge Hayller, the two first being corporals and theibird a private in the Ist battalion Scots Fnsilier Guards, were charged with stealing a £2O check, forging an in dorsement thereon, and uttering it. The case for the prosecution was conducted by Morgan (Humphrey, Son, and Morgan), who had been instructed 'by Mr. E;= Ouvry, solicitor to the Scots Fusilier Guards. Mr. Morgan explained,that the check in question had been enclosed in a letter to the quartermaster of the regiment, for the pur-. pose of paying for the discharge of a soldier named Thripland ; but Mrs. Coutts, the lady who had sent the remittance from Edinburgh, had addressed the letter to Mr. Walter Allan instead of Mr. George Allan, which was the name of the quarter master. It consequently miscarried, and got into the hands of the prisoner Fuller, who, after keep ing it five days, opened it, and abstracted the check, which he handed to the prisoner Hayller for the purpose of getting it cashed. The check was accordingly presented on Chiistmas-eve by Hayller, who was accompanied on that occasion by Orton, and who signed the document with the name " Walter Allan." Mr. Morgan then called Mr. C. Turner, cashier at Coutts's Bank, who stated that on Christmas-eve Hayller entered the bank, accompanied by another soldier, and handed him the check now produced, which was an order, in the usual form, drawn on Messrs. Coutts and Co. by the Royal Bank of Scotland for £2O, and dated December, 15. Witness asked Hayller if he was the person to whom the order was payable, and on his replying in the affirmative witness desired him to endorse his name on the other side of the paper. He accordingly wrote down the name " Walter Allan," and witness handed him the amount of the check. The prisoners being asked if they wished to cross examine the witness, replied in the negative, Orton observing, "Not at present," and Fuller adding, " We will reserve our defence till our trial, if we are to have one." He then turned towards the re porters' box and said, " Don't be afraid to put it all down ; give the right name to it, and write it in big letters." Policeman Anscombe, 102 F, the officer on duty in front of Messrs. Coutts's bank in the Strand, was then called to identify Orton as the soldier who ac companied Hayller on Christmas-eve. They paused at the door to ask him if that was Coutts's. The next witness examined was Sergeant-Major Edwards. He said,—l am sergeant-major of the Ist battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards, in which Hayller is a private. He was absent without leave from Christmas-eve to tho 28th of December. On the 29th, in consequence of information I had re ceived, I sent for him to the guard-room and questioned him as to whether he had cashed a cheque at Coutts's Bank. He denied having done so, but I replied that he had, and that Corporal Orton was with him. He exclaimed, " Oh, you know all about it, then ?" I answered, " I know a good deal about Eit, but I want to know a little more." He said it was a cheque for money for Thripland's discharge, and that it was given to him by an old comrade who was on board ship with him in the Baltic. I said, " That must be Corporal Fuller," and he answered, " That's the man." He also said he gave ss. to Orton, and had spent the rest. I then sent for Orton, who acknowledged that he had been with Hayller to cash the cheque, and said Hayller had given him £B, but that he had got none of it now. I then sent for Fuller, and •I asked him if he had given Hayller a cheque for £2O. He said he had. I asked how he became possessed of that cheque. He hesitated for a long time, but at last he said he got it out of a letter that had been delivered to him by the drill sergeant in waiting, whose duty it is to take letters from the postman and distribute them in the barracks. He said he could not find Walter Allan ; that he had inquired through the battalion ; that he had kept it by him so long that he was afraid of getting the censure of the commanding officer for neglecting his duty in not taking it back to the guard-room and marking it with the cause of non-delivery ; and that he then took the liberty of opening it. He said he found in the letter a cheque for £2O, and gave it to Hayller. Hayller also mentioned that Fuller asked him if he was game to get the cheque cashed, and that he replied he was game for anything. Hayller also said to the commanding officer that he received ten sovereigns and two £5 notes, and that he gave Orton the notes to get changed, and that Orton returned him only two sovereigns, keeping £8 for hirmself. Mr. Jardine—Were the other prisoners present? Witness—No ; there was only Hayller. Wm. Shaw, corporal in the battalion, stated that he was present when the drill-sergeant gave Fuller the letter addressed to Walter Allan. Fuller showed it to me, and asked if I knew an Allan. I said there was an Allan in my company. I called Allan, and asked if the letter was for him ; and he said it was not. The letter bore the Edinburgh postmark. Mr. Morgan observed that the envelope had never been found. Witness—l took the letter back to Fuller and showed him the postmark, observing that I thought it must belong to some recruit who had lately joined the regiment at Croydon ; that he had better try to find the man, but,thttt if he could not, the only thing he could do was to return the letter to the sergeant. Captain Gordon, the adjutant, de osed that on the 29th he sent for Hayller and into op,-ated him. He said the letter was given him by Corporal Fuller, and he thought he had a perfect right to it, being given to him. Witness said he must have known that it was not for him, and 'he answered that he " did not care." He acknowledged going to Coutts's with Orton to cash the cheque, and . at once gave ... up the letter in which it had been en- closed. He - said before the commanding v officer that the order was made payable to Walter Allan, and was for Thripland's discharge, adding that he signed it " Walter Allan." Charles Thripland, a private in the Ist battalion,' said the cheque was for his discharge. He expected it. He knew the handwriting. It was that of Mrs. Pay, who wrote for her mother, Mrs. Coutts, an old lady. He had given no authority to the pri soners to draw money for him, and indeed only knew them from seeing them during drill here. Mr. George Allan, the quartermaster, stat e d that he was the person for whom the letter was in tended. He had never received it, nor authorised any one to receive it. At the request of Mr. Morgan, the prisoners were remanded to affbrd an opportunity of sending to Edinburgh for Mrs. Coutts, if her evidence should he thought necessary to the case, though his wor ship expressed a strong opinion that it would be wholly superfluous. WORS HIP • STREET.—Th omas Williams, alias Dutton, twice convicted, and suspected to be a ticket-of-leave man, and Robert Frost, alias Wil liams,• also previously convicted, were charged with burglary and the following outrage : 'A lady named Bowers said—l reside at No. 6, Devonshire-terrace, Victoria-park•road, and am a widow. At two in the morning of the 30th Nov. I was awoke by cries " Murder !" and " Stop "thief 7"'"aliirfi - tettinA. up d looking - but 'cif the window t saw" the liack of a constable in the front garden, who was running out through the gate info the road. I ran into the sitting-room and found the chlfrpnier, which I had locked the night before, broken open, and its contents scattered about the floor, excepting two decanter-stands, which are now paiduced. I also found a window wide open in the stone passage and an iron bar which went across it taken away. At half-past 11 o'clock the night before I saw the window and the whole of the house secured. At to'clOck the same constable came back to me, bleeding profusely from the head, and showed me the decanter-stands produced, and which I can identify as mine. Alfred Evershed, 137 N, who, notwithstanding the length of; time that had elapsed, still pre sented a shocking appearance of suffering and debility, and wore an overcoat which was patched with blood-stains on almost every part of it, said— About 3 in the morning of the 30th Nov., while passing thq house, No. 6, Devonshire-terrace, I saw for nearly 5 minutes a light glaring through the fanlight over the street door, and then I saw it gra dually go out of a blue colour. I found the front garden gate fast, and also that of the next house, No. 5, but that of No. 4 was open, and I entered and went across the gardens to No. 6, the area door of which was fast. I turned my light down the garden towards South Hackney Church, and then turned it out while I got on the wall to try the wicket gate leading to the back garden, but found that fast too.. I then examined the wall for nails, and on again turning my light off saw Williams through the staircase window, coming down stairs with a candle in his hand. He was dressed in a suit of black with a black hat, and I thought he was master of the house. I jumped off the wall; and was getting to the house, when I saw a window open sufficiently large to admit a lad. On reaching the back of the house I found the door ajar, and on entering the passage saw Williams on the last step but one, opposite the front kitchen. lat once caught him by the throat, and turned my light into the kitchen, where I saw Frost, dressed like a midshipman, standing near a table with plate on it and with a lighted candle. I called out " Thieves," and Frost immediately rushed at me, but I struck him full with my lamp, and he fell; he rose and ran at me again, but I repeated the blow with the same effect ; he got up again, and tried to force himself between me and the other prisoner, whom I still held fast, but did not succeed, and then passed under my arm and got to the area door, which he tried to unlock, but I struck at him repeatedly with my lamp and knocked him down. I still held Williams, but he and Frost both got out into the area, Frost trying several times to pull the other man away from me, but when we got to the area steps I pushed them both down. Frost, however, got up and seized me by the belt, which gave way and let him down behind me, but he got up and pulled at me by my coat. - Williams now. called out " Here it is," and Frost immediately struck •me such a severe blow with something that my hand has been still ever since, and is so now. I then hit Williams with my lamp in the face, and Frost struck me with what I believe to have been a life-preserver, or iron jemmy, four or five blows on the hat, which at last came off, and he then repeatedly struck me on the head with the instrument, making my head bleed very much in deed. Williams by that time had got half way up the steps, but I got him down them, and he kicked me several times so severely in the chest that I have suffered very much from those kicks. Frost then made his escape, and Williams's neckscarf, by which I held him, having given way, I snatched at his shirt-front, but that tore, and he got away into the next garden and, escaped, dropping the two waiters now produced. I followed him, calling " Police !" and " Murder !" as loud as I could, but I was so faint, and was bleeding so'profusely, that I was obliged to cling to the fencing until the ser geant came up and assisted me into the lady's house, when she identified the waiters at once, and I was then taken to the station to give a descrip tion of the men. Williams dropped his hat while we were struggling together, and I produce it. I can swear to both men. Each prisoner said that he did not wish to offer any defence, and both were committed for trial. MARYIEBONE.--rEsther Griggs, the woman charged with throwing he r c hild out of the window while under the alleged influence of a dream, was again examined and remanded. A surgeon stated that the child was not yet out of danger: Lady Hamilton, in whose service the prisoner has lived as housemaid, has sent to Mr. Broughton, the magis trate, a Post-office order for 10s., and at the pri soner's desire the money was given to her husband. SOUTHWARK.—Catharine Atkins, a middle 'aged woman, residing at No. 18, Revels-row, was charged with telling fortunes and committing a violent assault on Mrs. Gardner, the wife of a tradesman at Mile-end. Airs. Gardner said that Mrs. Hunt was on a visit to her from the country, and on the previous night they left home unknown to her husband, and pro ceeded to the prisoner's house. As soon as they entered, the prisoner asked Mrs. Hunt if she wished her fortune to be told ? She replied that she did, when the prisoner produced a pack of cards, and demanded ls., which was paid to her by Mrs. Hunt. They were about then to leave the house, and as soon as Mrs. Hunt got out the prisoner shut the door and locked witness in. She then seized her by the throat, and took up a poker, saying she would smash her brains out ; and she was rendered almost insensible by the violence of the prisoner, who was at the time under the influence of drink. The prisoner declared that she never told fortunes, and did not receive any money for that. Mrs. Gardner gave her Bd., with which she fetched gin and cloves and they all drank it. Mr. Burcham asked Mrs. Gardner whether she had any previous knowledge of the prisoner ? She replied that she once came to her house and told her husband's fortune. He was silly enough for that. Mrs. Hunt said she foolishly accompanied her friend to the prisoner's house to have their fortunes told. She gave prisoner is., when she shuffled the cards and told her a lot of rubbish. Mr. Burcham—Are you married ? Witness—Oh, yes, and she asked me that. Mr. Burcham—Then I suppose she told you what colour your second husband was tobe? (Laughter.) Witness—Yes, sir, ;;he said he was to be a dark gentleman, with an immense fortune. (Laughter.) Mr. Burcham—Did you believe her ? Witness—Oh no, sir ; I was very foolish. Mr. Burcham—There is not any doubt of that; and it is indeed wonderful to see two respectable women go to, a person of prisoner's description. Prisoner—We are all acquainted, your worship. Mr. Burcham (to Mrs. Gardner)—ls that so ? • Mrs. Gardner—l only know her by her coming to my hous . e to tell my husband's fortune ; and I am very sorry that I went to her house last night. I did not want my fortune told, and that was the reason the prisoner attacked me. Mr. Burcham sentenced her to one month's im prisonment for the assault, and another month as a rogue and vagabond, with hard labour. [AnvEnTisEmEsT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Sore throat, quinsy, ulcerated throat, diphtheria. The sore throat, with More or'less hoarseness, prevailing at this season of the year, has for twenty years been treated with the above remedies with a degree of success far surpassing that of any'other mode of treatment. The cures have been so remarkable, speedy, and numerous, that it was predicted the new disease, diphtheria, consisting of small ash-coloured ulcers in the interior of the throat, attended by fever often fatal, might be arrested by the same means, and such has been the case. This disease in its first stage seems even more amenable:to Holloway's Ointment and Pills than the simpler forms of inflammatory sore throats. [ADVERTISEMENT.] SIGHT AND HEARING..— SPEC.
