TIIE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 28, 1866. The Double Murder by a Mother in Somers Town. ADJOURNED INQUEST (THIS DAY.) This morning, at half-past ten, Dr. Lankester, the Cen tral Middlesex coroner, resumed the inquest, at the Rising Sun, 120, Euston-road, on the bodies of Emma and Agnes Butcher, who were drowned by their mother on the morn ing of Saturday last, at Mrs. Sophia Skudder's, a chand ler's shop, Wilstead-street, Somers-town. The inquest on Tuesday had been adjourned for the attendance of the mother, but this morning Inspector Fraser stated that the medical man certified that she was not in a fit state to be moved out of the house at present. The following certi ficate was then put in :--" This is to certify that Mary Butcher, aged 39, who is in this infirmary, has had a very bad night, and is not in a fit state this morning to attend the coroner's court.—W. F. Butt, M.R.C.S., Surgeon to the St. Pancras Infirmary, July 28, 1866." Inspector Fraser said that he had himself seen the woman, who was very ill. John Brown said he was a carpenter, and lived at 67 Willstead-street. On Saturday morning he heard a groan ing in the back yard. He knew Mrs. Butcher, and ob served that she had changed her manners in the last week, being abrupt in her tone towards the lodgers. About half past six witness found her in the water-butt in a half sit ting posture, with the water up round her neck. He knocked a hole in the tub and let the water out, and ulti mately she was got out quite insensible. Margaret Brown, wife of last witness, said Mrs. Butcher had been very dull lately. On Saturday witness saw her after she had been taken out of the tub. On Monday wit ness saw Mrs. Butcher at the workhouse. She asked for her children, and said, " Where's the children ? I want to suckle the baby, you know it don't feed." She also said, " Bill tells me they are at their grandmother's," and wit ness said, " Yes, they were taken there on Satur day." Witness went into the, room, and the chil dren were found to be quite dead. The husband found the children dead and in the bed, and took the eldest out and carried the child about, saying, " Oh, my poor pretty angel, she's dead, she's dead." Wm. Butcher, the husband, said the children were in bed and asleep when he left. The Coroner put it to the jury to decide whether they would have any further adjournment, and to this the jury agreed, and an adjournment was decided on. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde without Juries.) CLINTON V. CLINTON. In this case Lady Clinton obtained a divorce from Lord Thomas Clinton, brother of the late Duke of Newcastle, and alimony had been awarded her at the rate of £llO a year, the income of the husband being £4OO a year. Dr. Tristram, on the part of the petitioner, now applied for a suit of attachment against the respondent, who had not paid the alimony, and was at present in England. The Court granted the writ. WHITE V. WHITE AND BROOKS. This was an undefended suit by the husband, who for merly carried on business as a surgeon in Charles-street, Haymarket, for a dissolution of marriage on account of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, a private in the Dragoon Guards. Mr. luderwick was counsel for the petitioner. It appeared that the respondent was the daughter of an officer in the British army, and them arriage was solem nised in 1853,b0th the parties being young at the time. There were three children issue of the marriage, and for some time the parties lived on goo d terms, but the respondent shortly became addicted to intemperance, and was in the habit of going to publichouses in the Haymarket and returning home drunk. Her conduct at last became so bad that the petitioner was compelled to separate from her, and provided her with respectable lodgings in April, 1863, but she did not remain there long, for the landlady could not put up with her intemperance. In the month of August, 1865, she went to her husband and demanded money. She was accompanied by a man, and was ulti mately traced to a lodging-house in Drury-lane, when she was discovered under circumstances that left no doubt of her criminality. The Court pronounced the decree nisi. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. --This Day. THAMES. ." -- EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF YORGERY.— Richard Nott, an elderly man, who was arrested in Croydon, and who has been recently living in Princes-road, Notting-hill, was charged with forging a bill of exchange for the payment of £3O. Mr. James Scott, of the firm of Scott and Cook, leather merchants, 30, Alinories, said he received a bill of exchange from the prisoner soon after it was drawn. It was dated the 16th of September, 1865, for £3O, and purported to be drawn by Mr. Nott on W. Esterbrook, of Taunton. It purported to be accepted by W. Esterbrook, and was in dorsed by the prisoner end by the firm of Scott and Cook. He paid the bill away in the regular course of business, and it was returned ,to him dishonoured. He sued Mr. Esterbrook, the alleged acceptor, who said the signature was a forgery. In cross-exami nation the witness said he did not know the prisoner was living at Princes-road, Notting-hill, since the bill was re turned to him. He would swear the bill was not in Ester brook's writing. The prisoner had said the acceptance was not in the handwriting of Esterbrook. He told the prisoner the acceptance was not in the handwriting of Esterbrook, and the prisoner said the acceptor was his first cousin, and had authorised him to sign his name to the bill. He was not aware that Mr. Esterbrook, of Tiverton, was the prisoner's cousin. The prisoner was remanded, MARKETS.---This Day. COVENT GARDEN.

(Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.) MURDER. John Grant was indicted, for the wilful murder of Philip Boobier, at Plymstock, on the 9th of Juno. Mr. Lopes and Mr. Clark were counsel for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Bere for the prisoner. It appeared from the opening of counsel that the pri soner was a private in the 13th Regiment quartered near Plymouth. The deceased was a little boy of seven years of age, the son of a labouring man who was employed on the fortifications. The child was an unusually intelligent boy, and was a great favourite with the soldiers. He left his home about 8 o'clock on the evening of Saturday, the eth of J une, taking with him abook to read to Sergealit Parsons. About half-past 8 o'clock the prisoner and the boy went together to the camp, and they were afterwards seen going to a place where the soldiers were playing at pitch and toss. They left that place together in the direc tion of the spot where the body of the child was afterwards found, but as the ground they crossed was undulating they were soon lost sight of. About half an hour after that the prisoner was seen by a person named Atkins re turning, but without the child. He went to Atkins ;he appeared to be much agitated, and asked Atkins if there was any Dublin man who could fight or wrestle. At half-past nine the prisoner was seen crossing a hedge ; he had blood on his hand and cheek, and on his trousers. Nothing more was heard or seen of the prisoner until four o'clock the following morning. He was then coming from the rear of the officers' tents. The pri soner went into No. 7 tent. The mother of the child, who had been seeking him all night, followed the prisoner into the tent. She said, " . oh, Grant, where have you left my little boy 2" He said he had never seen the boy. Shortly afterwards the father of the child came and asked Grant what he had done with his little boy. The prisoner said he knew nothing about the child. The father then asked him where he had been all night, and he said he had been at a publichouse. The prisoner was afterwards taken to the guard-room ; he for some time denied any knowledge of the child, but after some time he said the boy had gone with him to - wash, but he was so drunk he could not tell what had become of him. About 12 o'clock on Sunday the dead body of the child was found under a furze bush in a ditch, in the direction in which the prisoner and the child were seen going together on the previous evening. The body was stiff and cold. Mr. Wilson, a surgeon, was sent for, and he examined the body and found marks of severe contu sions on the face, the neck, and chest; the tongue pro truded. Mr. Wilson was of opinion that the wounds could not have been caused by a fall. or by accident, but must have been inflicted by some blunt instrument and by a repetition of blows ; no single blow could have caused the injuries. The prisoner was apprehended and was confined in a cell, and he then intimated a desire to make a state ment, and after being cautioned he said : "On the Saturday evening I was going down to bathe. I went across the ball -firing ground, and was told there were rabbits and I took up a stone and flung it at a rabbit, but accidentally struck the boy instead of the rabbit. The boy fell from place to place. I went to him and lifted him up, and put him on my knee for ten minutes. He then asked me to put him down, and I did so. He did not appear to be much hurt. I was going to lift him up again, but he said m NO.' I went to the camp. I then returned, and re mained with him till 3 o'clock, when he died." Upon searching the spot near which the body was found there was a stick apparently concealed under some grass. The theory of the prosecution was that the prisoner left the camp with the child, took it to the ditch, and murdered phuist statement the child accidental explicitly act secreta it. That he then returned to the camp, but recollecting that he had left the body expos e d, he went back again and d e ath of the child, and the only ques ti on , therefore, was w h e ther the jury believed the d ea th h a d b een caused by h admitted iitftnt sehpot the prisoner. tphr iastn i nh h ee e r p h ri ad so o n a prisoner e h d a d i n the feioruan l or hour, above in a snore h facts were proved b y several w i tnesses. the eMlwh wilful Bore ad d r essed the j ur y for the prisoner, urging with great force the utter want of motive for the act, g summed up, the jury re a and c k b u t r h n havin g e n fo und the pris on er guilty, and he was sente nced to death.

H e rea d the news to his were of no avail. At length Mr. Wlntosh, medical superintendent, on hearing how matters stood, wont to the men and suggested they should cend a deputation to address him on the subject. Immediately about half a dozen marched up to the doctor, stated their grievances at much length, and demanded more pay and shorter hours. The doctor said it was perfectly true they had a great grievance of which to complain— provisions were high in price, and the hours of labour were by far too long in this warm weather, and then put his hand in his pocket and handed the deputation half-a-crown, This gave complete satisfaction. The deputation returned, informed their associates of their success, and the whole resumed work immediately. Though it might be expected the joke don't end here. The doctor happened to pass the men some hours later, when he was accoated by the man to whom he handed the half crown. Re took the doctor aside and told him in confidence, " They aro a set of disagree able chields, and were quarrelin' and wranglin' wha shud keep the half-croon.

It is hoped that the practice of Mr. Panizzi, in Cases that were under his control, of selecting for promo tion men with peculiar knowledge, will be adopted in this instance, and that no considerations but those of fitness on the part of the candidate will affect the choice of a suc cessor to Mr. Carpenter. THE PRUSSIAN HEAD-QUARTERS.--The Chateau of Nikolsburg, where the King of Prussia has established his head-quarters, is an old possession of the Princes Dietrichstein, and belongs now to the second daughter of that princess, the Countess de Mensdorff-Pouilly. It is one of the finest seats in Austria. It is situated on a height, and commands one of the most picturesque views possible to be seen. The apartment now occupied by the King of Prussia is the same that Napoleon I. used on the 9th De cember, 1805, after the battle of Austerlitz.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) BERLIN, July 27. An address of the inhabitants of Norden, East Friesland, to the King of Prussia, has arrived here for transmission to his Majesty. The address ex-, presses the wish for the union of the whole of Hanover with Prusiia. POLITICAL MEETINGS. Lord SHA.FTESBURY brought under the considera tion of the house the circumstances conuecOd with the late attempted demonstration in Hyde-park, and suggested that there should be an alteration in the existing regulations respecting public meetings for politi cal purposes. He thought it was desirable that there should .be an address to the Crown on the subject, requesting her Majesty to take such measures as would enable the public to have spaces in the metropolis where they could discuss political subjects without in terruption on the part of the police authorities, ex cept where the public peace was endangered. He had the intention of moving the address of the description to which he referred previous to the circumstances that had arisen in respect to Hyde Park. It might be said that the people could assemble at Primrose-hill, but he reminded the house that that right had been disputed. He expressed a hope that the noble lord at the head of the Government would see the necessity of taking some action in reference to this important subject. The Earl of DERBY said that he acceded to the views of the noble earl (Shaftesbury) as to the necessity of taking some steps in reference to this subject, for the p r inciple involved wa s one o f the greatest pu bli c im portance, but he trusted that the noble lord would not say anything more on the subject at present. Lord SHAFTESBURY said he would not ask the noble earl to make such a statement. Lord REDESDALE did not consider that Hyde Park was a proper place for political meetings. STANDING ORDERS. Lord REDESDALE proposed a series of amendments, the objects of which were to afford increased fscilities in the raising of capital, and the carrying out of the con struction of railways and other important undertakings.'"' HOUSE OF COMMONS --TEST EvENING. The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were considered and agreed to :—Brecon and Llandovery Junc tion Railway - , Great Western Railway, Greenock and Shaws Water, Greenock Water, Northampton and Ban bury Junction Railway, North Western and Charing-cross Railway, Tamar, Kit Hill, and Oallington Railway, and Vale of orickhowell Railway. CASHEL JUNCTION RAILWAY BILL. On the motion of Mr. C. FORSTER, the order referring the Cashel Junction Railway Bill to the examiners of peti tions for private bills was read and discharged, and the bill was withdrawn. THE DIFFERENCES WITH AMERICA. A petition was presented from Newcastle, praying that the differences btween this country and America should be referred to arbitration. LADY SLANEY'S TRUST (ESTATE) BILL. On tho motion of Mr. C. FORSFER, the standing orders were suspended in respect to this bill, which was read a second time, and that it be an instruction to the committee of selection to appoint the committee on the bill to meet on Monday next if thought proper to do so. MARKET BOSWORTH SCHOOL. A motion similar to the preceding was agreed to in re gard to this bill. SUPPLY—THE STATUE TO THE LATE PRINCE CONSORT. On the bringing up of the report of supply in respect to the estimates agreed to last night, Mr. MONK drew attention to the sum of £50,000 for the national memorial to the late Prince Consort. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the contracts for the construction of the proposed statue had been entered into by the late Lord Palmerston. It would not be fair to the contractors to break faith with them in consequence of the death of Lord Palmerston. It was agreed also that some gun metal should be sup plied to the sculptor, and the vote was agreed to last night. The report was then agreed to. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Aberdeen Provisional Order Confirmation, Inclosure (No. 2), and Parishes (Scotland) (1844) Amendment. The Railway Companies Securities Bill went through committee, and the house resumed. The Reformatory Schools (Recommitted) Bill went into committee. The amendments on the Railway Companies Securities Bill were considered and agreed to. REFORMATORY SCHOOLS BILL. Clauses 1 to 9 were agreed to. On clause 10, • Mr. POWELL moved the omission of that part of the clause relating to the authority of the Homo Secretary. The amendment was negatived, on a division, by 48 to 22. Clause 11 was amended and agreed to. On clause 12, Mr. WHALLEY moved an amendment to the effect that the religion of the children should be held to be the same as that of the parents, on the ground that Roman Catholic priests in large towns made a practice to visit workmen's homes, and sometimes with the consent of the parents and sometimes without, subjecting the children to the rite of baptism. The amendment was negatived without a division. Mr. O'REILLY proposed an amendment to the effect to tit the managers of every school should, on receiving a vout Lful offender into their custody, enter his name, and also' his reli g ious persuasion, in a book to be kept for that purpose. The motion was negatived by 38 to 27. An amendment w - as agreed to, on the motion of Mr. POWELL, making it lawful on the representation of the parent or nearest adult relative of any offender, for a minister of the religious persuasion of such offender to visit the school for the purpose of affording religious assistance and instruction, subject to the approval of the Home Secretary. The clause as amended was agreed to. Clause 13 was agreed to without discussion. Progress was then reported, and the house adjourned at a few minutes to 4 o'clock. Lord J. MANNERS, in answer to a question of Mr. PowELL, said that the first thing to be done with the ra vages recently committed in Hyde Park was to repair them ; but the source from which the money for that pur pose was to be obtained would have to be considered by the Government. Lord STANLEY, replying to an inquiry of Mr. Oliphant, stated that the armistice between the Prussians and Austrians had been prolonged ; but he was not in formed of the purport of the preliminaries of peace alleged to have been signed by the parties. Mr. D. GRIFFITH called the attention of the President of the Board of Trade to the present system of voting in public companies, by which shareholders whose occupa tion, convenience, or sex prevented them from attending public meetings or polls, hadno means of voting except by proxy before they were aware of what was likely to happen 'at any meeting of the company. Sir S. NORTHCOTE admitted that the question was o f consideration, and thanked the hon. member deser'vi n g for directn: hi s attention to it. The present system of voting in public publio com panies was open to many objections ; noint them out than to apply a re but it was easier to t 1 to co-operate with Mr. Grif medy. Ho cordially des'irt:: satisfactory footing, and fith to put the matter on a mo r e . 7 ould be done to ac he hoped in another year someth in g complish that object. treatment The O'CONOR DON directed attention to the' of emigrants on board the steamers plying between L'iver pool and New York, and to the great prevalence of choler: during the last three mmonths on board many of those vessels. Mr. ADDERLEY remarked that the emigrants who had suffered from cholera on board ships clearing out of the port of Liverpool were for the most part from Holland and Germany, and in all probability predisposed to the malady which hadsubsequently attacked them. As far as ho was aware, the provisions of the Passenger Act had been complied with. Mr. MAGUIRE said that, on the contrary, the provi sions of the act were notoriously evaded, and mentioned Messrs. Wigram's ship the London as having been allowed to go to sea without proper inspection. Mr. GREAVES observed that Liverpool shipowners were perfectly willing that the provision made by them for the health and comfort of emigrants should be sub mitted to the most searching investigation.

T ALARMING FIRE. —This morning, between the hours of one and two o'clock, a fire that at one time threatened very disastrous consequences took place in a large range of premises belonging to Mr. Ford, but let out into workshops and cowsheds, situate at No. 12, Chenies mews, Tottenham -court-road. The fire was discovered by police-constable 142, of the E division, who at once raised an alarm and sent oir for proper assistance. Con ductors Rummens and Arnold promptly attended with the Royal Society's fire-escapes, followed by two of Shand, Mason, and Co.'s land steamers, two manual engines, and three salvage carriages. Plenty of the Grand Junction Company's water was procured, and the firemen under the direction of Mr. J. Jerrard, with the aid of hand pumps, managed to confine the flames to the first floor, used as a cabinetmakers' factory. The origin of the fire is unknown.

A PARALLEL—For the following capital skit on the Reform League Deputation (a jeu d'esprit very much iu the style of the Owl) we are indebted to the Pall Mall Gazette of last evening:—Consequent on the recep tion of the deputation from the Reform League which recently waited on the Home Secretary, an influential body of gentlemen representing the principal burglars working in and near the metropolis sought an interview yesterday with the right hon. gentleman. The interview was readily accorded, although no appointment had been previously made. The deputation was most affably received, and pro ceeded to explain that their feelings were much outraged by the presence of police on duty in the various thoroughfares, and that if they were permitted to ply their trade without in terference all risk of a collision would be avoided and a very great diminution would be at once apparent in the number of annual convictions. The right hon. gentleman said in reply that he felt the force of the argument, and would bring the question to the notice of the Cabinet whether it would not be expedient to withdraw the police force entirely. The question of the disbandment of the force and the substitu tion of the parties represented by the deputation must re main for future consideration. One of the deputation said that they were much interested in the fate of some of the " lambs " who had been convicted on the evidence of the police of various alleged offences on the nights of the 23d and 24th inst., and who, having been sentenced to imprisonment without the alternative of a fine, were now undergoing their sentence. Tho right hon. gentleman, with tears in his eyes, at once said that he would move her most gracious Majesty, whose sympathies with the cause of order and with misfortune were well known, to grant her gracious pardon to all these ill-used individuals, and volunteered to consult the law officers of the Crown whe ther the police, on whose evidence they were condemned, could not be imprisoned La their stead. In reply to another inquiry he said that he doubted whether any action would lie against the surge on who dressed Sir R. Mayne's wounds. The depu tation then withdrew, satisfied with the result of their interview and the courtesy of their re ception. The Connecticut House of Representatives on the 27th ult. concurred with the Senate in the ratification of the Constitutional Amendment. The citizens fired a hun dsod guns in honour of the occasion. • who fort y, to rsag )e au have .diers lone, ['here ,nd I post :,e to you. ,for :nade have D 7 for corn- panic rriv 3 were .-,--,-'' ~.. ay. w ith in ky. - c out Ln the drove r and s *aittlii 1
