Yesterday, at the Hammersmith Police Court, Thomas Humphrey was re-examined on the charge of absconding with a large sum of money belonging to his employers, Messrs. Fuller, Smith, and Turner, brewers, of Chiswick. Mr. G. Lewis conducted the prosecution; Mr. Martin defended the prisoner. Mr. 11. Smith, one of the partners, s tated that the prisoner had been in their service as collector for about three years. The money and cheques which he received in the course of his collection weekly were kept in a safe at the office, the key of which was under his sole charge, until each Friday, which was the regular day for banking in the Union Bank of London, Argyle-place. On the 12th inst. he went to Barnet, in Essex, but he never returned to his duties, neither did he k during the week on the followingban the day. money T c h o e l collected deficiency was £1,349 2s. 4d., which was exclusive of a sum of £llO odd, which he had embezzled. Witness next saw the prisoner Oxfordshire, on the 19th inst., w a t Banbury, e nh eg a nveh r , in nin c harge of the superintendent of the constabulary. When the prisoner saw witness he started, and said " I was driven to it." Mr. Lewis then read a letter which Mr. Smith had received from the prisoner while he was in the House of Detention. It was to the effect that the act was a momentary one, which he never thought of com mitting until ho found himself intoxicated and very late in returning home. The thought of being dis charged drove him to act so desperately. He wished to make all amends in his power, and asked to be dealt with as leniently as possible. It appeared that the prisoner's whereabouts was discovered in a somewhat singular manner. Ou the 7th inst. ho deposited the sum of £664 6s. 6d. at the Banbury branch of the London and County Bank, in the name of Thompson. This sum in cluded two of the cheques which had been stopped, and on their being sent up to the London branch they were at once detected, and information of their recovery was forwarded to Mr. Smith, who hastened to Banbury, and communicated with Mr. W. Thompson, the superintendent of the constabulary. The prisoner was found at the Town Hall Tavern, and on being taken into custody the sum of £1,393 3s. 2d., which included the deposit at the bank, was recovered. Mr. Lewis said the embezzlement had been going on from January last. Mr. George MlNaughton, of the Red Lion, Chiswick ; Mr. R. Grigsby, of the Rose and Crown, Hammersmith ; and Mr. W. Warren, of the Cla rendon Arms, Broadway, p r oved three payments to the prisoner on account of the prosecutors, the payment in the case of the last-mentioned witness being on the 22d of January in the present year. That sum, together with the one paid by Mr. M‘Naughton, had not been accounted for ; but in the other case he accounted for the receipt of £5O, though he had paid £6O. Mr. B. Dowsett, of the Waggon and Horses, Kew Bridge ; Mr. Thomas Hartley, of the Star and Garter, Kew Bridge; and Mr. Edward David Matthews, of the Coach and Horses, Turnham green, proved three other payments in the pre..ient month, and which formed part of the money the prisoner ought to have banked. The depositions were then read over, when Mr. Dayinan fully committed the prisoner for trial at the next Middlesex Sessions on both charges — embezzling and stealing' Kid ( DI Di ARIUS. ettr:rract.lW.E ii 3onsolldated, 6 per cent. stock, , to, Bristol and 131 rm., 6 per cent., -.. tto, 411 per cent. rd., 931 PREFERENCE SHARES AND STOCKS.

Wharton have given notice of their intention to visit Birmingham on Wednesday next for the purpose of inquiring into the boundaries of the borough, with the view to ascertain whether the same should be enlarged so as to include within the limits of the borough all premises which ought, due regard being had to situation and other local circum stances, to be included therein, for the purpose of con ferring upon the occupiers thereof the Parliamentary franchise such borough. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. — This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. ROBBERIES AT THE CA:MON-STREET STATION.—Amide Briffant, a ferocious-looking foreigner, was charged by the South-Eastern Railway Company with having stolen a bag from the waiting-room of the Cannon-street Station. It appeared that the bag was the property of Mr. Benthall, a draper residing at Farnham, in Surrey. Mr. Benthall was sitting on the table with the bag beside him, when a gentleman told him that the prisoner had taken it up. He follow3d him and sail, " Why did you take my bag?" He ropliod , " I am a foreigner." Witness then milk' the detective ofd:or attached to the station and gave him iuto cu , tudy. _ Sergeant Moss said that he was called to take the pri soner into custody, and found him with the bag. ll,r took him to Bow-1 tne Police-stuiou. s..arching him he found a few dirty things up m 11,1 had for a long time been hanging about the station, and was suspected by the witur.ss, who was a detective sergeant attached to the Cannon-street Station, of the numerous robberies which have taken place there lately, and the personal ap pearance of the prisoner Wing peculiar he had been specially remarked. Mr. Lewis, the . solicitor' to the South-Eastern Railway Company, said he appeared to prosecute on behalf of that company, and as they must necessarily have many suspi cious characters amongst the number of persons travelling, and as they had reasons for suspecting the prisoner beyond others, ho would ask the Lord Mayor to grant a remand. The prisoner, who professed no knowledge of English, said nothing—the evidence being communicated to him through one of the ushers, who acted as interpreter—was then remanded till Tuesday next.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TOATRILD.—EIward Robinson, a butcher, in business at Bath-street, City-road, was charged to-day before Ald.3rlnan Bosley with running over a boy aged eight years, whose name was unknown, and who is at present lying in a helpless state in Bartholomew's Hos- pital. Hardy Payne said that he was a dialer in hay, and about ten o'clock this morning he was in West Smithfield He saw the defendant driving .a cart at the rate of about four or five miles an hour. The boy was walking across the road, and when he came within a few feet of the horse's head ho stumbled and fell down, and the off wheel of the cart passed over his head. The prisoner endeavoured to pull up, but the road having been recently watered, the stones were•very slippery. There was a boy in the cart with the prisoner, but they were not talking at the time the accident occurred. The magistrate said that the road was very wide, and the boy might have been some yards off. A gentleman named Staff, in business in Bankside, said that ho witnessed the accident, ,and the boy was lying down when the cart passed over him. The magistrate said that butchers were proverbial for reckless driving. The magistrate said he must;remand tho prisoner for a few days, but would accept bail. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Ringe and Hugh Jones, two carmen in the employ of Messrs. Holland and Hannen, builders, of Duke-street, Bloomsbury, were charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a quantity of lead, the property of their employers, and Richard Garrett, a marine store dealer, of No. 12, New Compton-street, was charged with receiving the same with a guilty knowledge. Mr. Louis Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared for Garrett. John Ellkin, foreman carman in the employ of Messrs. Holland and Hannan, said that having suspicions that lead was being taken from a job in Piccadilly, he yesterday evening followed the prisoners Ringo and Jones, who each had charge of a cart containing lead to take back to the yard in Duke-street. On their reaching Now Comp ton-street ho saw the men stop their carts near Garrett's shop, and a piece of lead (produced) was taken into the shop by one of them. The men then went away with their carts, and he (witness) spoke to a constable (Cording, 154; A R), who went into Garrett's shop, and demanded the lead, which Garrett produced, stating that ho had just purchased the lead of a man named Jones. Ho afterwards saw his employers, who gave the prisoners into custody. Alfred Cording, 154 A, said that on being spoken to by the last witness ho went into Garrott's shop and asked him if he had purchased any lead, and he said he had, and that he gave lls. for it, and produced the lead from behind the counter. He looked in Garrett's book, but there was no entry cf the transaction,' but subsequently there was one put in. Garrett afterwards said that he purchased the load of Ringe, who gave the name of Jones. lie took the prisoners to the station-house, and on searching Ringo and Jones he found on the former 4s. 4}d., and on the latter 2s. Gd, bat a part fell down the leg of Binge's trou sers while he was sitting in the yard, and could not be found. Ringe and Jones said when ho took them into custody that they knew nothing about the log]. Mr. Holland said the value of the lead was about 19s. Mr. Lewis addresed- the magistrate in Garrett's behalf, urging that the evidence was not sufficiently strong to de tain him, and stating that ho had at times rendered assist ance to the police. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners, but consented to take bail for Garrett. THAMES. A YOUNG TUMBLEIL—John Barlow, aged six years, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with throwing summersaults iu the Commercial-road, and begging of per sons riding on an omnibus. Henry Slingsby, a p o li ce con stable, No. 394 IC, said nu merous complaints had been made of the tumbling boys in the Commercial-road, and many of them had been arrested and punished. Tho practice was attended with danger to life and limb. The prisoner was tumbling alongside om nibuses last night, and w h en b e made his last summer salt ho lost his balance and nearly went under the wheel of a cart. The poor little fellow was without shoes, stockings, and shirt, and covered with filth la-t night. Ho took the boy to the workhouse, and he was cleansed and provided with clothing. Ho understood that whatever the boy had earned by t um bli ng h o gave to his mother. Mr. _Rolston, ono o f the relieving o verseers of St. George-in-the-East , sa i d the mo ther received relief fro m the parish for herself an d c hild re n. Mr. Benson asked th e b oy, w h o was put on the solicitors' taug ht him to tumble ? The prisoner repli e d_ S ome big toys taught me to throw table for his inspecti on, who somersets alongside th e b usses. Mr. Benson—You w il l b e killed if you continuo this dangerous pursuit. The mother was called, and said she got her living by needle-work. She had two other children to maintain, and received three loaves and ls. Gd. weekly from the parish. Sometimes she earned Is. GI. per week, and at other times ls. Gd. per day. She had been three years a w'dow. Mr. Benson —I cannot allow you to send this boy into tho street to tumble and bog money of omnibus passengers. You should send your boy- to school. The mother said she could not afford to send the boy to school. Mr. Rolston said the family received out-door relief on tho express condition that tho mother sent hor children to school. There was an excellent school, under the control of that excellent and zealous ph i lan thropist, tho Rev. Mr. M'Gill, of Christ Church , w a t ne y-street, and ho would educato the children gratuitously. If the boy would go to sr.thool Mr. M'Gill would receive him. Mr. Benson lectured the motherof tho boy for neglecting her child, and upon her promise that she would send him to school discharged him. MARKE TS. ---This clay. METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

That at present the Post-office officials in Southsea are employed on the Sunday as well as on other days ; and that such employ ment is unnecessary, as in London and numerous other places the Sunday delivery of letters, &c., is entirely dis pensed with. The memorialists therefore pray that the delivery of letters, &c., in Southsea b 3 entirely stopped on Sundays," CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Lush). THE ALLEGED MURDER AT LIMEHOUSE. The trial of John Wiggins was resumed this morning. Mr. Horton, the surgeon who first attended and afterwards examined the body of deceased, was re called, and the following questions put to him by LThe le.trued Judge.—Yon examined the body. Did you discorer any bruises about it ? Witness— Only an old bruise under the arm. The Judge—Then we miy take it that there were no marks of external violence about the body? IVitnes3—Yo. The learned Jndg•.—No marks at all to denote that she had fallen backwards ? IVituess—None, my lord. The learned Judge—No indica:ion of anything having come in violent contact with the head ? Witness—None, my lord. Edward Dillon, 19 K, said he was on duty at the station house when the prisoner was brought there on the 3d of August. The charge was read over to him, and he then made a statement, in which he said he was innocent of murdering the young woman, that he knew nothing about it. The statement made by the prisoner was a voluntary one. No questions were put to him, and he was cautioned before he did so. Mr. Richards, the deputy-coroner, was examined as to the statement the prisoner made before him at his own request. _ . . Sergeant Brady said—When he charged the pri soner with the wilful murder of Agnes Oakes at the hospital, he replied "Just so." By Mr. Ribton—The prisoner was not in bed when he went to the hospital to remove him to the station. He received the clothes of the prisoner from the head nurse, and gave them to Professor Taylor. Professor Alfred Taylor said—l have been in court during the whole of the trial. I heard Mr. Horton's descripeion* of the wound on deceased's throat, and I agree with him in the opinion that a person in a state of frenzy or delirium might inflict such an injury. Mr. Poland Assuming that the deceased in flicted the wound herself, would the injury to the arteries or that to the spine be done first 2—The injury to the bone. The injury to the spine could not have been done after the vessels had been cut through ?—No. The learned Judge—ln your judgment after the wound had been inflicted would the deceased have had power of motion ?—Yes, to some extent. Mr. Poland—ln what period in your judgment, after such an injury, would death have followed ? In a very few minutes. You have heard Mr. Horton's description of the state of the body; can you form any opinion how soon before Mr. Horton saw her should you say death had taken place ?-111y belief is that she could not have been dead less than two hours ; it might be five hours, considering the time of year and the condition of the health of the deceased. There is a great difference in the time a body takes to cool in the two cases of a person dying suddenly in full health of body and one dying slowly. The Learned Judge—Does the loss of blood affect the cooling of the body ?—No, the loss of blood does not do so. The Learned Judge—l believe that you and Dr. Wilks, of Guy's Hospital, have paid great attention to the time the body takes to cool ?—Yes, we have paid particular attention to it. Mr. Poland—You have examined the handker chief the prisoner had about his neck, and the cut that appears through the folds; should you expect, if that had been made at the time the prisoner re ceived the cut on his throat, to find blood on th e edges of the folds ?—Yes, supposing it was worn in the ordinary way. You have also examined the cut on the shirt ? Yes; and I should have exp-cted to find blood ou the edges of the cu) also. You have examined the prisoner's boots ?—Yes, I have. I found one or two drops of blood on the instep, showing that it had fallen there when the boot was not worn. There was also a spot of coagulated bloo,l which had fallen just above the toe. There was none on the middle of the sole of the boot inside the boot, there was no appearance of blood, but on re moving the dirt from the leather, a very small par ticle was found —only enough to see that it was blood. I have examined both boots, there was only a small quantity of blood on either. There was a good deal of blood in the stockings. That was probably owing to the prisoner being in his stockings. Cross-examined by Mr. Ribton—With respect to the time the body takes to cool, I have had many cases of violent death to found my experience on. Mr. Ribton then read a case from Dr. Taylor's book, in which death had not occurred until half an hour after the arteries had been severed, and asked the witness whether he adhered to the case still, as the book had been published in 1865? Professor Taylor—l adhere to that statement still. Every case has its special conditions. In the case you mentioned the windpipe was not severed. When such an injury is done the blood gushes into it, producing suffocation, and death is almost in stantaneous. By the learned Judge—Might not the first plunge of the knife have caused the injury to the spine ? Yes. The wound, then, could not be inflicted but by a person suffering under great excitement ?—By a person suffering from frenzy, delirium, or insanity. Mr. Ribton—ln cases of undoubted suicide have you not met with cases of very severe injuries ? Yes, but not involving the spine and the vertebras. Dr. Wilks—l have, with Dr. Taylor, paid parti cular attention to the time at which rigor mortis sets in, and having heard Mr. Horton's description of the wound on the throat of the deceased, and his d escr iption of the state of the body, I should think that death must have taken place at least from two to three hours previous to his seeing it. That would be rather under than over the mark. I cannot re collect a case in which rigidity set in under three hours. Mr. Poland—Do you think it possible that the deceased could have inflicted the wound on her throat with her own hand? itness—lt is barely possible. My reason for saying so is, that I have known such a case in a man, but never in a woman. Mr. Ribton—Thank you, sir. I shall ask you no further questions. Witness—Do you properly understand me ? Mr. Ribton—Yes, I do. Mr. Scott having been called to speak to the cor rectness of the plan produced in court, Mr. Poland said that would conclude the case for the prosecution. The learned Judge said there was another witness who had not yet been examined. Mr. Poland said ho did not intend to call her. Mr. Ribton thought the witness ought to be examined. Mr. Poland said, under the circumstances, he would at once call the witness. Fanny Wiggins said she was a relative - of the prisoner. With respect to the condition of the chemise worn by the deceased she tore it in removing it from the body after death. By Mr. Ribton—She bad never heard deceased threaten to destroy herself. Mr. Poland then summed up the evidence he had adduced on the part of the prosecution, and con tended he had fully made out the truth of the charge preferred against the prisoner ; but if they were not of that opinion, and entertained any doubts on the matter, they would, of course, at once give him the benefit of the doubt, and return a verdict of not guilty. At that part of the learned gentleman's remarks which alluded to the fact which had been established in evidence, that although the soles of the prisoner's stockings were saturated with blood, the inside of his boots which he had on when he first gave the alarm that his life had been at tempted by the deceased were nearly, if not entirely, free from marks of blood, the prisoner betrayed the greatest anxiety. And Mr. Poland proceeded to remark that he could not but come to the conclusion that the deceased had been dead some time previous to that prisoner bad stated, be. .~~ cause, had he put his boots on at the time he said he did, the interior of them would have been very extensively marked with blood. The prisoner hastily exclaimed, " Beg pardon, may I make a few remarks." Mr. Ribton at once told his client to remain silent, and listen without making any fur ther appeals to the Court. The prisoner at once remained silent, but became evidently moved again when Mr. Poland referred to the fact that although the deceased's hands were found bloody both inside and out, yet the h tndie of the knife which the pri soner said he had found sticking in the woand was quite free from blood. At the conclision of the su . nntio,g up of 7,1 r. Poland it was proposed to a - ljolrn for rJreslnuent, but— Mr. Ribton said he wished t.) be allowed at once to proceed to address the jury on behalf of the prisoner, an I the learned Ja.l.;e havi Irr ° assented, the learned counsel commenced and slid- His firni impresbion was that the pros.ention had started with the theory that the prisoner's statement was a sham, and that therefore they had decided upon calling every particle of evidence which wo u ld f avour th at view of the case, entirely throwing on one side any thing that could tend to dissipate the view of the transaction they had taken up. One of the first things the jury would have to make up their minds upon was the value of the evidence of the witnesses relative to the alleged cry of murder, said to have been heard at 2 o'clock in the morning. He thought it would bo extremly hazardous to adopt the version that had been given in evidence, because the neighbourhood was a very disturbed one, and it might be possible the witnesses had confounded the cries which undoubtedly took place at 5 o'clock in the morning with those they imagined they heard at two. The witness James Williams did not hear the alleged cry at two in the morning, neither did Police-constable Bannister, and he contended that the latter was a far more experienced constable than Tucker. Further, if the cry had come from the direction stated by Tucker, Bannister must have heard it. No less than four of the witnesses brought forward by the prosecution must have heard the cry had it occurred at two o'clock in the morning, yet, iu the most distinct manner, each ono as ho put the question to them in the most positive manner stated they had heard nothing of the kind. Then there was another exclamation heard at the same time and spoken to by some of the witnesses for the prose cution, viz., "You old bitch you are murdering me!' But by what logical argument he should like to know could that be construed to apply to the prisoner. It ap peared to him that the whole matter arose from some drunken quarrel that had occurred in a totally different part of the neighbourhood, and that so far as the cry of " Murder" coming from the direction of the prisoner's house at the time stated it was a mistake altogether. With respect to another proposition put forward by the prosecution, that the woman had been dead at least two or three hours before Dr. Horton saw her, he felt certain they would well consider a circumstance that was of the highest importance, and that was that on the one side you had plain unskilled witnesses whilst on the other they had gentlemen of the highest scientific attainment& One witness said, in the course of her evidence, that she saw the body prior to the arrival of Dr. Horton; that when she felt the feet and knees of the deceased they were cold ; but was there anything to show how the unfortunate woman had laid in her bed on the night the tragedy occurred. It might have been that her feet were exposed, and that thereby they became cold. If such was the case it was not to be expected that they would become sud denly warm at the precise time the unhappy woman inflicted the wounds upon herself with her own hand. Dr. Horton said, in his examination before the Coroner, that when he first arrived the body was stiffening, and that ho was of opinion that death had taken place about an hour before he arrived. In his examination in that court he came to the conclusion that death bad taken place at least two hours when he saw the body. He should like to know upon which of the two statements Dr. Horton took his stand, ibecause if a scientific medi cal man made such an important difference in his evidence, of what reliable value did his opinion become ? If Dr. Horton made such a mistake, was it remarkable that unskilled persons should be mistaken with respect to the warmth of particular parts of the body when they became aware of what had taken place ? He thought they would require much more positive and reliable evidence before they could adept the theory of the prosecution. With respect to the wound boieg a self-inificted one, Dr. Horton said it was possible that a per son in a stat) of frenzy might have inflicted the wound by his or her own hand, and Dr. Taylor agreed with hini, and what the prosecutor did oa the present occasion was to ask the jury coolly to disbelieve their own witnesses, and to say by their verdict that such a thing was altogether an impossibility. Upcn that fact, the strongest one in the case, ho felt ho ha I a right to ask for au acquittal, for he felt cer tain they would not consign the man now before them to the scaffold upon evidence such as that which Lis learned friend representing the Crown had brought for ward. The whole of the evidence against the piisoner was purely circumstantial, and that would form another reason why the whole of the theories advanced by the prosecution, as well as the statements put forward by the prisoner, should receive the deepest consideration. It was difficult, in cases even where direct evidence was offered to come to a firm and settled consideration entirely free from doubt, but how much more was that difficulty increased when the main facts of the case in which the prisoner's life was perilled were enveloped in darkness and mystery. There was nothing in tho whole of the evidence offered to preclude the possibility of the deceased committing suicide, and, with respect to the position in which the body was found the medical testimony clearly showed that deceased would still have power, immediately after the wound had been inflicted, to do something, and this would account for the posi tion in which the body was found. With respect to the cut in the handkerchief, which was made a great point of in the case, he thought it quite as much like a tear as a cut; and, if the former, might it not have been caused in the struggle the prisoner had for his life previous to the deceased inflicting on herself the injury which caused her death. He could account for the cut, as it was called, in the collar of the shirt in many ways, and none more likely than that it was in reality a rent caused by buttoning the collar too tight. Then the mystery made about the chemise, Fanny Wiggins, thanks to the learned Judge who had directed her to bo examined, positively stated that she tore it very much in removing it from the dead body, and there was no reason to doubt the tru hof her s tory, because had she desired to serve her relative by the sacrifice of truth she could have done so in a far more important manner than merely swearing to the tear ing of the chemise. With respect to the blood being on the soles of the stockings, and not in the interior of the boots, there was nothing important in that fact, for it was more than likely the prisoner walked about the room in the first instance without his boots, and thus blood beingabout ho would mark his stockings, and then in his passing to other parts of the house in which there was both dust and dirt the dust would absorb the blood and the warmth of the foot would hastily dry it, so that the absence of blood from the interior of the shoes went for nothing. The learned gentleman then in the most impressive terms concluded his observations, by remarking that in a case so surrounded with doubt the medical evidence settled the matter, for how could the jury by their verdict say a thing was impossible when the most eminent scientific gentlemen of the ago said was possible. He felt they would agree with him that the charge had not been proved against the prisoner, and they would not shrink from say ing so by their verdict. The learned Judge then summed up the case to the jury. The jury had not returned their verdict when we went to press. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Smith.) THE FORGERIES ON THE BANK OF ENGLAND. Henry Hodgson, who yesterday pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with forging certain documents with a view of defrauding the Governor and company of the Bank of England, made a long statement, in which he stated that insanity had existed in his family for many years. The learned Judge remarked that there was nothing which could induce the belief that the pri soner was labouring under any delusion ; on the contrary, he had acted in a careful and clever man ner. Under all the circumitanc.n of the case he felt it his duty to sentence him to seven years' penal sery itude. BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, Sept. 26.
