The Committee wish it to be clearly understood that theydo not recommend the esta blishment of such cholera hospitals on the ground of effecting the separation of the sick from the healthy, and of thus preven:ing the spread of the dis case; but solely in order that, should the epidemic prove severe, proper attendance and prompt treatment may be insured for the sufferers from cholera among the poorest and most destitute class. The existing hospitals, even if the authorities should consent to the admission of e so n o s d a i l t l i h o n f h h o h l e l e r s a s , c t o h u e l y d nwoetfre urnish ht th e g e h r i e n clu i s e t it ac comm e persons labouring under other severe diseases; a measure which, at the approach of winter especially, would add much to the distress of the poor. 6. In conclusion, the Committee would urge on the rich, who have comparatively little to fear fur them selves, the great duty of generously and actively minis tering to the relief of the poor while the epidemic pre vails; Leering in mini that fuel, warm clothing, and sufficient nourishment, are powerful safeguards against the disease. They deem it most desirable that the parish autho rities should at once improve the diet and irci ease the comforts of the poor under their charge, and that the w ea l t h y should form societies for the supply of tood, clothing, and fuel, to those who, though not pau re, still need charitable assistance in the present reel geecy. z is S tetce u d ch of m p e o a v, st e ir r e a s, which nd it is wealth to a t d h o e p d t, ut v‘ y of .hhld, th th o h se c p o o m s : Com mittee believe, if liberally carried cut, deprive the cholera of half its victims. J 0 II N A YltT 0 28 7 PARIS, President. H FRANCIS AWKINS, Registrar. College of Physicians, Oct. to 335. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon a public sale of 2,072 bags 494 bkts Penang Sugar went at a reduction of nearly Is per cwt, but the whole sold; good yellow at 343 to 34s 6d, greyish syrupy yellow 30s to 31s, one lot brown 295. Of Bengal 3,813 bags were offered and sold at a reduction of Is for grainy, Lut other sorts generally fetched full rates. Of Madras 1,244 bags were taken in at 353 to 36s for middling yellow, tine 401, damp 32s to 39s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.—The private operations in Foreign Sugar for the week are, a cargo of yellow Havannah at 20s; one of Bahia at 16s 3d for brown, and white 203; also small parcels of yellow Havannah at 36s to 40s, duty paid. To-day at public sale 843 boxes white Havannah Sugar were taken in rather above the value—good and fine at 31s to 32s per cwt. MOLASSES.—The low rates current for West India cccasion a good demand to prevail, and the sales for the week are 300 puns Barbadoes at 143 6d, Cuba 15s to 163 per cwt. Bengal Treacle is in fair request at 15s to 16s 6d, and at which holders are not so willing to sell. The stock of Molasses is nearly 3,000 puns smaller than last year, and deliveries are getting better, whilst prices rule very low. TEA.—There has been no arrival this week, and mer chants refrained from - übmitting any at auction. No improvement is visible in the position of the market, and privately a large amount is on offer. For black prices remain much the same as on this day week, the amount of business concluded has been of little moment, as the trade on ly p urc h ase su ffici e nt for their present wants. Congou of ord qua lity can b e bought at 7d, and good common at lid to 8d per lb. Green is readily offered upon former low terms, yet there is much dulness in the trade for all sorts. For Scented Teas th e market ex hibits some sig ns of improvement. TEWIIESBURT.—Mr. Humphrey Brown, M.P. for Tewkesbury, has taken means which do him much credit for the preservation of the health and comfort of the persons employed in the silk mills which he has recently established in that borough. The lion. Member has given notice to his workpeople, who are about 250 in number, that '1 it is particularly regnested that any per son suffering from illness, employed in these mills, will every morning report to the inspecting surgeon to the establishment the nature and particulars of such illness ' that imm e di ate ass i stance may be rendered; and it is also quested that pc rsons unable to attend from illness may give . notice as rom ptly as possible, that advice may be g i ven.

His llonour took his seat in the court at Westminster betwek:n one and two o'clock. There were but a fctv motions, turning on point of practice, which were speedily disposed of. The list of causes was called through, but none of them being ready for argument, the Cuurt rose early. A young man, in passing through one of the roads at the west end of Ashburton, last week, perceived a couple of hawks in the hedgerow in full combat. He immediately took off his coat and put it on them, and secured both without injury. Their talons were so firmly fixed i❑ each other that eventually one must have fallen victim to 114 antagonist.--Exeter Gazette. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 2. TRANSFER OF SHARES—THE QUEEN V. THE CLERK OF THE OXFORD CANAL COMPANY. Mr. Sergeant MANNING moved for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue to the clerk of the Oxford Canal Company, requiring him to register in the books of the company the transfer of certain shares under the following circumstances: — ln 1778 the corpo ration of Oxford and a gentleman named Wykeham, en- Bowed four lectureships with the profits arising from certain shares in the Oxford Canal Company, and by a deed of covenant it was provided that after the expiration of certain interests in the shares be longing to Mr. Wykebarti,, those shares shoull be transferred to the corporatioh of Oxford for the purposes of the endowment. iA gentleman named Ryder, who had an interest in these shares, died in 1805. his daughter and her husband, who had.succeeded to his interest, died recently, and the present Earl of Har rowby, upon their deaths, having become the proper per son to make the transfer, it had been made by' him pur suant to the provision of the deed; but the clerk of the canal company had refused to register it. An applica tion on the subject was then made to the Bail Court, and there being some irregularity in the transfer Mr. Justice Coleridge had advised that.the shares should be returned to the Earl of Ilarrowby, and that he should again transfer them to the corporation. 'This had accordingly been done, but the clerk of the canal company having again refused to register the transfer, on the ground that the matter had been asleep so long that it required the interference of the Court of Chancery, the present ap lication had become necessary. Lord DENMAN—What has been done with the divi dends? Mr. Sergeant MANNING —They have been paid regu larly.—Rule granted. BAIL COUR7; Nov. 2. (Sittings in Banco.) Mr. Justice Pattison took his seat on the Bench about a quarter before two o'clock;when he disposed of several motions of an ordinary and uninteresting character. THE QUEEN V. THE LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. M. D. Hill moved for a rule to stow cause why the rule obtained by the prosecutor in this case on the 11th of May should not be discharged—why the writ of mandamus issued in pursuance thereof, dated the 12th of June, should not be quashed—and why all further pro-• ceedings thereon should not be stayed. It appeared that a partnership existed between three persons of the names of Browne, Ward, and Dunne. They were the lessees of certain premises included in a schedule of an Act of Parliament obtained by the London and South-Western Railway Company, who gave them the usual notice requiring possession of such premises, The partners were at first desirous that the question should be determined by arbitration, as was au thorised by the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, and accordingly served a notice upon the railway company to appoint an arbitrator without delay. Subsequently the attorney to two of the partners, Messrs. Browne and \Verde, served tke company with the usual notice requiring them to cause the sheriff to issue his precept for the summoning of a jury to determine the value of the property in question. The company having omitted to comply with this notice, submitted to the writ of man damus being made absolute from the b. lief that the at torney had been instructed by the whole of the partner ship. The writ accordingly issued, and the company would be in contempt this day if they did not make a return to it, or obtain the rule now sought for. The facts stated in the affidavit upon which the present ap plieation was made, were to the effect that Mr. Dunne, one of the partners, had been kept in perfect ignorance of this transaction, and was not a party to the proceed ings taken by the other members of the firm; that he kept a solicitor to transact his own special business; and that he was always desirous that this matter should be settled by arbitration. He therefore served a notice upon the company that he was no consenting party to any proceeding for the summoning of a jury, as was re quired of them by the former notice. Un ter these cir cumstances, the company were prevented from comply ing with the writ of mandamus, inasmuch as the jury would have no power to entertain the question unless each member of the firm was a consenting party, the property in question being partnership property. Application granted. COURT' OF EXCHEQUER, A , ov. 2. Lord Chief Baron Pollock, Mr. Baron Park, Mr. Baron Alderson, and Mr. Baron Rolfe toek their seats upon the bench at quarter to two o'clock. REEDY V. THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. This action, which was brought to recover compensa tion for loss of life occasioned by an accident on the Leeds and Dewsbury line, was tried before Mr. Justice Cresswell at the last Yorkshire assizes, and a verdict found for the plaintiff: Mr. KNOWLES, with the le.ve of the Learned Judge who tried the case, moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be entered for the defendant, or why a nonsuit should not be entered, on the ground that the company were not the responsible parties for the injury sustained by the accident. The COURT granted a rule. BOGSEY V. PURDAY. This was an action for an alleged infringement of the copyright of ten airs in La Sonnambula, which was tried before the Lord Chief Baron at the last Middlesex Sit tings. The plaintiff was the assignee of the composer of the airs, who was a foreigner. This Court decided lately in a case of " Chappell v. Purdy," that a foreigner who publishes a work abroad before he publishes it here can have no copyright here. One of the airs in question was published contemporaneously in London and Paris. The other nine were published in Milan a few hours be fore they wore published here. The question then wav, could the plaintiff maintain his action in respect of either? The Lord Chief Baron ruled against the plaintiff at tho trial. The Court, thinking that the question, whether the lapse of a few hours between the publication at Milan and the publication in London brought the case strictly within the principle of their recent decision, was one worthy of consideration, granted a rule nisi. ARCHES' COU1?7; Nov. 2. (Before Sir H. JENNER FusT.) This being the first day of term, the civilians and proctors, with the Court, according to usual custom, heard prayers before the opening of the Court. SIMMONS V. SIMMONS. This was an appeal from the Consistory Court. Dr. Lushington, in the Easter Term, 1847, gave an elaborate judgment, and decided that neither cruelty nor adultery had been legally proved; that therefore the wife must return to cohabit with her husband, and that each party must pay their own costs. The wife now appealed to this Court against the judg ment of the Consistory Court. Dr. ADDAMS was heard at great length in favour of the husband, contending that neither cruelty nor adultery had been committed. Dr. PHILLIMORE addressed the Court in reply, in be half of Mrs. Simmons. He contended on this, as on the former occasion, that adultery had been proved against the husband, and that the wife was, therefore, entitled to the relief she sought for at the hands of the Court. The case was adjourned to a future day. Dr. Say ford remains to be heard. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL.

Sir PETER LAURIE asked:Mr. Whitmarsh what b ad become of the wife of ;Henry Christophe? Mr. Widt marsh replied, that after he gave her husband into cus tody, she left his house, but that ho had seen her otrts:ide the court. Sir PETER LAURIE ordered her to be brought in, upon which Henry Christophe pretended to be in great trouble, and tried very hard to shed a few tears. On bis wile (a good-looking black woman) entering the cot HI, he at once addressed her in French, telling her site did ❑ot know the English language. Sir PETER LAURIE (to the prisonrr)—Do you antler. stand the English language?—Christophe (with r:eat vehemence)—No, no! I do not.—(Great laughter). Sir PETER LAURIE—Can the wife speak Engli sh? Mr. 'Whitmarsh—They all can, as well as you or I, Sir Peter. Sir PETER LAURIE (to the male prisoner)—So, :you want your wife not to speak the truth? Christoph e-- No, no.—(Laughter). Sir I'ETER LAURlE—Before proceeding further, he should like to know from the wife how long it was tyi nee they put up at an hotel in Jermyn-street, at the W 4 St end ?—The wife, in very fair English, said they put up at many hotels, but did not keep their names. Sir PETER LAURIE—I dare say not. It would not be convenient. William Tracey, from the Hotel of Strangem in Sherrard-street, said the prisoner came to him on. tthe 2151 of October, and remained with him until the 2G th. Christophe said ho had just come from the St. liw4 a . tine's Docks, and that his luggage was on board t he ship, which could not then get in ; and also added a at he was a prince, and had plenty of money in the bat .k, the whole of which story turned out to be a fabrics Ai on. The prisoner Seymour was often there with him. Sir P. LAURIE—What bill did they run up at . yc ur place ? Witness—To the am ount of 4/. 103. The ott ler h prisoner, Seymour, wanted to take apartments, but; he was refused unless he paid daily. An offer was made to send a porter for his luggage, but he made various e x cuses, and at last he and his wife and child were turn ed out. Sir P. LAURIE here asked another question of `the wife, when the prisoner Christophe vehemently sai.l to her in sentence good English, " H o ld your tongue—they will u." George Ransom, waiter at Gerard's Hall, deposed! ;to the prisoner hiring the best bed and sitting-re 41Ins in the house, and saying that his luggage was at ale / Custom-house. They remained a few days, and ran up a bill to the extent of between 61. and 71. Sir PETER LAURIE—How did they live? Witness— Ou the best of everything. The wine and all they called for was of first-rate quality. On one occasion they brought another gentleman and his holy, when their chief drink was wine, and after dinner they enjoyed themselves with a first-rate dessert. Christophe—Ah, I recollect. We did not have the bes wine. The Wife—We only called for the best ale, not for wine. Sir PETER LAURIE—Are there any more unfortunate innkeepers who have been swindled? Mr. Whitmarsh said he believed not, although he had been round to many. Sir PETER LAURIE—I suppose they are ashamed to come forward? Mr. Whitmarsh thought it most pro bable, they had been so completely done. Sir PETER LAURIE observed that he was much as tonished that so many persons should suffer themselves to be` so imposed upon. The Wife—We do not wish to stay in this country, only it is the money that detains us. Seymour is our countryman, and only arrived about three weeks ago. Sir PETER LAURIE—WeII, we will Fettle that ques tion, for here is a gentleman who will give some infor mation so as to place the public on its guard against your systematic impositions. Mr. James Dingwell Fordyce, of the firm of Reid, Irving, and Co., said that he knew nothing of the pri soner beyond what lie intended stating, which was that about twenty-five years ago, Christophe, King of Hayti, entered into a correspondence with one of their houses, and invested a large sum of money. He died a few years after, and his widow and her two daughters came came to Engl.ind, and the former having taken out let ters of administration in due form, the money Ras paid to her. Shortly after the prisoner Christophe called at the bank, when he was informed of what had been done, whereupon he became most abusive, and was eventually turned out of the bank. He still continued his annoy ance, and at last threatened to shoot Sir John Reid, when he was given into custody; but that gentleman did not appear against him, and he was discharged. A few months after he was sent for by Alderman Gibbs, in consequence of more complaints, when ho showed him the letters of administration, and explained to him that he had no claim. The Chief Clerk said he perfectly recollected the cir cumstance of the widow of the King of Hayti coming here to take out letters of administration, as she and her daughters were introduced to him by Mr. Allen, the phi lanthropist, and it was by his advice she pursued the course she did, and the money was paid to her in his presence. Since the prisoner was remanded, a gentle man, who held for many years an official situation in Hayti, had called and obtained an order for seeing him at the Compter. After conversing with him that gen tleman returned and informed him (the Chief Clerk) that the King of Hayti never had a brother, and that the prisoner himself had never been at Hayti. The fact was that the King hed two sons, one whom was killed iu battle, and the other died of fever. The wife here said that there were papers at a solici tor's, which would put all to rights. Mr. Whitmarsh said he had been to the party, who admitted having some papers, but was most anxious that they should be out of his possession, in consequence of the annoyance he was subjected to by the numerous re ference to his offices. Sir PETER LAURIE said that, as that wag the case, he should remand the prisoners for the production of those documents, as they might throw ;some light on the matter. ChristophQ—Ah! the . papers—they will show who I am. Sir PETER LAURIE—You do not understand I see.— (Much laughter, in which both prisoners joined.) Sir PETER LAURIE to ChriSlOphe—There is no doubt you are a very designing man, and this system of swindling must be put a stop to. I hope that the publi city of this case will also make innkeepers more cautious as to wbona they take in, particularly alter the exposure of to-day.—Remanded accordingly. BOW-STREET, EXTZNSIVR ROBBERY OF PICT URE B.—Yesterday Susan Cook, a servant, was placed at the bar for final examination, charged with stealing about 150 pictures, the property of Mr. Richard Gale, picture-dealer, 47, High Holborn, her master, and 'I hontas Miers, a Ger man Jew, with receiving them, well knowing them to have been stolen. A man named Joseph Roland, carrying on business as a picture• dealer in St. Mary-axe, who attended to produce a portion of the property, and to give evidence, was also placed at the bar, charged with having pur chased pictures from the male prisoner for much less than their value. _ _ _ It appeared from the evidence, which occupied the court a considerable time, that the prisoner Miers con tracted an acquaintance with the female prisoner when she was only a short time in the prosecutor's service, and was frequently observed by the neighbours loitering about the door, and leaving the house before the shop was open for business in the morning. The prosecutor kept a picture gallery on his second floor, to which there was an entrance from the rear of the house, to which cook had always access, from which he had no reason to suspect any property had been removed, until he saw two pictures exhibited at the door of a cigar shop for sale, which induced him to inquire how they had been obtained ; and having ascertained that they had been purchased from Idlers at a fair price, the stock was looked over, and the remainder of the property was missed. Information was immediately given to the po lice, and on the prosecutor accompanying the officer to the shop in St. Mary-axe, a vast quantity of pictures were discovered, respecting which the prisoner Roland gave a very equivocating account, declining to give the name of the person ft orn whom he had obtained them, and pretending that he did not know his address, although he had dealt with him several times. The prosecutor informed him that a great number of pictures in his possession had been stolen from him, and gave him notice that he would be required to give evidence, there being persons in custody for the robbry; and on a subsequent visit ho paid, the greater number of pictures had been stripped of the frames, at the same time ho admitted that he had pur chased 50 pictures at various times from Miers, (only 22 being produced), which was very different from the ac count he gave on the first occasion. Mr. IlEbnav having ascertained that other portions of the property had been disposed of in other parts of the town and at Birmingham, upon the application of the prosecutor, consented to remand the prisoners, and to hold the prisoner Roland to bail, himself in the sum of 801., and two sureties in 40/. each, to answer the charge at a future day. MARYLEBONE. ARTFUL AND EXTENSIVE SYSTEM OF ROBBERY AT THE HOUSES OF MEDICAL GENTLEMEN. —CAUTION TO SERVANTS. —Yesterday a well-dressed young man, who gave his name Charles Copeland, was pl aced at the bar before Mr. Long, charged with having idol( n various articles of plate, the property of Dr. Henry Savage, 34, Dorset-place, Dorset square. Sarah Ruth, the servant, deposed that on the same morning, between seven and eight o'clock, the prisoner came to the house and inq u i re d f or Dr. Savage. She asked him the nature of his business, telling him at the same time that her master was in bed, upon which he said that he was desirous of ascertaining it the doctor attended a lady named Jackson, in Portman street, and that if he did so, she (Hrs. Jackson) aas anxious to see him as early as possible. Witness went up stairs, leaving him sitting upon a form in the hall, and on her returning through the dining-room to speak to him, agr e e a bly to the directions of her master, wh, felt satisfied that there was something wrong, she missed ft ern the table therein four silver spoons and a pair of silver sugar -tongs. Upon seeing the pri soner, who had removed from the form to the hall door, she itnraediattly locked the same, taking out the key, and told him he had something in his pocket which he had stolen, when he at length produced the spoons and tongs, saying that he was a very unfortunate man. Dr. Savage speedily came down Stairs, and having sent for a policeman, the prisoner was conveyed to the station house. Sanders, 921 D, brought forward the articles of plate, and they were identified as belonging to the prosecutor. The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say, admitted having had the plate in his possession, but denied that he intended to take it away. Inspector Porter said that a great number of rob beries of a similar nature, effected at the dwellings of medical gentlemen, had recently been reported at the stations of the Metropolitan Police, and ho was of opinion that if a little time were allowed, he should be able to get up other cases against the prisoner. The prisoner was committed on Dr. Savage's charge for trial, but will be brought upagai9 . r Thursday next. MARLBORO UGH-STREET - SPURIOUS CHEQUES.— William Woodward Miller, of St. Albans, was brought up for final examination, charged with defrauding various tradesmen and publicans by means of spurious cheques. John Howard, collector to Mr. Robert Dixon, of Pro vidence-wharf Belvidere-road, said the prisoner called at the countinghouse on the 11th of October, and said he was well acquainted with Mr. Dixon. He said he wanted change for a cheque of 41., and witness, be lieving his story from his respectable appearance, gave him 41., and received a cheque which he ascertained subsequently was spurious. A clerk from the London and Westminster Bank, on which the cheque was drawn, proved that tho prisoner never had any account at the bank. The prisoner declined to make any defence. Mary Ann Phillips, baker, 12, Archway-place, Hol loway, said she cashed a 51. cheque for the prisoner on the 22d of July. The cheque was spurious. William Chaplin, licensed victualler, Wells-street, Oxford -street, said. on the 21st of October the prisoner came to his bar, and said he had been requested by Mrs. Harrison, a neighbour, to ask him to cash a small cheque. The prisoner said his name was Woodward, a miller, at St. Alban's, and he added that Mr. Ilarrison had been working at the mill for some days. The pri soner further observed, that he had given more for a horse than he expected, and that this had obliged him to get the small cheque cashed. The prisoner pulled out a cheque on the London and Westminster Bank, and gave it to witness, with the remark that it was all right, and he could refer for his respectability to Mr. Pitt, of Great Portland -street, who was his uncle. Witness gave the prisoner 41., and on presenting the cheque the next day he found it was spurious. Ile met the prisoner soon afterwards in Villiers-street, and gave him into custody. The prisoner made no defence, ant was committed fully on all the charges. WORSHIP-STREET. ALLEGED ROBBERY BY A PORTUGUESE BARONESS._ An elderly lady, named Mary Carlota Alves Cabral, who was stated to be a Portuguese baroness, and Mari a R osa, her servant, were placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged on suspicion of having stolen a gold watch and appendages, a silver watch, and a variety of other pro perty, belonging to Mrs. Hester Pitman, the proprietress of a boarding establishment for distinguished foreigners, in Finsbury-square. The proseeufrix stated that the elder prisoner, who was closely connected with a noble Portuguese family had resided in her house with her servant for the last four months, and during that period she had repeatedly missed rings, trinkets, and other valuable property. On the preceding day she discovered that her gold watch, which she had left upon the mantelpiece in the back par lour, to which the accused lady and her servant had ac cess, had also disappeared, and she accordingly obtained the assistance of the police, who set on foot an immediate investigation, which resulted in the apprehension of the prisoners. - Sergeant Brannan, of the G division, stated, that in consequence of information he had received, ho repaired that morning to the house of the prosecutrix, :aid having, through an interpreter, made the prisoners acquainted with the suspicions against them, he proceeded to search their apartments. Ho first examined the bed•room oc cupied by the girl Rosa, and on turning down the bed clothes discovered beneath them several pairs of stock ings, towels, and remnants of torn sheets, the whole of which were recognised by the prosecutrix as her pro perty. He then proceeded to the sleeping apartment of the elder prisoner, and having observed her, as he en tered, i❑ the act of secreting something under her dress, he mentioned the circumstance to Mrs. Pitman, who re quested to search her, and took from her, bosom a pair of stockings, a towel. and a small pair of scissors, the first of which articles she identified as her own, and the latter was claimed by one of her servants. Witness at the same time observed something glittering in the prisoner's hand, and having taken it irons her, it was foand to be the silver brooch, which formed part of the missing property. The prisoner, who wa3 greatly agitated, accounted for the possession of the brooch by stating that she understood it had been picked up by her servant, from whom she had received it. The whole of the artieles produced were then secured, and conveyed, with the prisoners, to the station house. The purport of the evidence adduced by the wit nesses was explained to the prisoners through the medium of an interpreter, who afterwards intimated to the magistrate that the friends of the lady having offered that morning to indemnify Mrs. Pitman the full amount of her losses, it was her most anxious wish that she might be premitted to abandon the pro secution. Mr. ARNOLD said that he could not for a moment entertain such a proposition, so the case must be pro ceeded with in the same course as any ordinary one of the like description. lie should order the prisoners to be remanded for a week, but had no objection to accept sub stantial bail for their future appearance. The prisoners, both of whom appeared to be painfully excited, were then removed to the cells; but in the course of the afternoon the consul general of Portugal, le Commandeur Fransisco Ignacio Van Zeller, entered the court, and having tendered himself as their surety, his recognisance was taken in the amount of 1001. for their appearance, and they were both released from custody. SOUTHTVARK. John Mahony, an Irish labourer, was brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged on suspicion with having mur dered Mary Riordan, in the parish of Halstead, Kent, Inspector Yates, M division, described that a woman was found murdered in the parish of Halstead, Kent, in a field upon the London and Hastings road, on Wednes day, the 18th ult. She was apparently about 40 years of age, and had all the appearance of having been pre viously engaged in hop-picking. Her body was lying near the side of a ditch; and, on examination, her head, face, and shoulders exhibited one mass of bruises, the blood from which had completely saturated her clothing, and here and there ou the ground were pools of blood, which, coupled with the strong fact that the turf and ground about the spot were trodden down, bore a conclusive proof that the wretched creature had had a deadly encounter with one or more parties. Close to her feet was a bundle, which was found to contain a handkerchief, a man's dirty cotton shirt with linen front, a black-handled table-knife worn down at the blade, and an old tobacco-box filled with tobacco. A large flint stone was found underneath her right urn], and from the marks thereon it is supposed that it was used by the murderer. The inspector then proceeded to detail the circumstances which gave rise to the supposition that the prisoner was the man who had perpetrati d the deed, by stating that a woman, named Ann Riordan, living at No. 6, King's-row, Horselydown, had within the last few days given such inf,rmation at the station house of the R division as to lead to the be lief that the murdered woman was her own sister. Her statement with reference to that impression arose from the fact of her having read in the Hue and Cry a short account of the circumstances of the murder, toge ther with a description of the deceased, and that it cor responded with her sister, who had lost some front teeth, and who left London about four months ago in company with the prisoner Mahony, and that he re- turned a few days since without her, and on being ques tioned on the subject he gave such an unsatisfactory ac count about her that it was considered advisable to take him into custody. Inspector Yates added that the sup posed murdered woman's sister was then in attendance. Ann Riordan was then called forward, and, on being sworn, her statement was to the effect that her sister and the prisoner had been living together for some length of time, and that about four months ago they left London together, for the purpose of seeking harvest work in Kent. That since that period she (witness) had never heard from either of them, and that at the beginning of last week she happened to see an account of the murder of a woman near the village of Halstead, in'Kent, and that the description of the deceased so closely resembled that of her sister, both in point of features and dress, that she was fully impressed with th e conviction that wa s ' the murdered person. That she (witness) immediately set about making inquiries relative to the prisoner, to ascer tain w hether h e h a d b een seen in town by any of his acquaintances, but found they were all equally ignorant as hers elf as to wh ere e i t h er h e or her sister were; the only fact known respecting them being that they left them four weeks ago, and had not since returned. Yes terday morning, however, as the witness was walking along Tooley-street, she met the prisoner, who endea• voured to avoid her; but she went up to him, and inquired !healer her sister was in London. He replied to the ques tion in a surly tone, saying that she was not with him. The next question was, " Where did you leave her when you went i n t o th e coun t r y together!' His answer was that she left him at Croydon, three days after they quitted town together, and that he did not know where she was. In reply to further interrogations on the sub ject, the prisoner said that it was not likely witness would see her sister the next Sunday, or the next after that; and added that, in fact, he did not know where it was likely she would be seen in London again. The witness added, that the prisoner then left her; and after hearing the very unsatisfactory account hahad given of her sister, she was more than ever impressed with the belief that the unfortunate woman found murdered near Hal stead, in Kent, was her sister; and she, therefore, pro ceeded to the ,station-house, and having mentioned the grounds of her suspicions against the accused, he was accordingly taken into custody. She further said, that being very poor she was not in circumstances to go down to Halstead, otherwise she would have proceeded there to identify the body of her sister, if it was she that had been murdered. A police-sergeant of the R division stated, that he saw the body of the murdered woman the day after it was found, and thst he had an opportunity of witnessing her features, which very much resembled those of the woman whe had just given her evidence. Mr. COTTINGIXAM inquired if any of the unfortunate woman's clothes were in court, as upon their production the witness Riordan would be enabled to idt-ntify them, it they belonged to her sister? Inspector Yates replied that all the murdered woman's garments were in the possession of the constable at Halstead. The inspector added that he considered it important to mention that when the prisoner was taken into custody, he was fol lowed by a countryman of his own, and that on the way to the station-house, addressing the latter, the prisoner asked him in the Irish language whether Mary Riordan was buried yet or not. The policeman who had charge of the prisoner, being an Irishman himself, understood the nature of the question, and he therefore communi cated the fact to him (the inspector) when he arrived at the station-house. Mr. CoTTINGIIAN, addressing the prisoner, said that at the present stage of the examination he was not called upon to say anything in reference to the charge, as the body of the woman found mur dered had not yet been identified. That the woman Riordan's description of her sister resembled that of the female who was discovered murdered in a most brutal manner in a field near Halstead, and the circum stance of her sister having left London for Kent with the prisoner, his coming back without her, and the ex traordinary account he had given when spoken to on the subject, altogether threw such a degree of suspicion upon the prisoner as to justify his being taken into custody. The prisoner, who manifested no eoncern while at the bar, said that he had nothing further to say than that he knew nothing of a murder at Halstead until be heard it spoken of. That with respect to the woollyn with whom he left town to go harvesting, th e y parted with one another at Croydon three days after they le 3 London, and that he had never heard of her since, bet supposed she would be making her appearance again one of these days. Mr. CoTTINCHAM said that he should remand the pri soner, and he at the same time directed that the clothes found upon the person of the murdered woman might be sent down for to Halstead, in order to be produced in court for the inspection of the witness (Ann Riordan)► who would be in a condition to identity them if they be longed to her sister.
