CATHOLIC FITTINGS. SIIILLIBEER'S FUNERAL ESTABLISHMENT, City-road, near Finsbury-square. Originated in 1842, TIIE MOST DURABLE OUT-DOOR PAINT EVER INVENTED CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other Go vernments, the Hon. East India Company, the Principal Dock Com panies, and other public bodies, &c., is particularly recommended to the Nobility, Gentry, Agriculturists, Manufacturers, West India Pro prietors, and others, it having been proved by the practical test of more than sixty years to surpass all other paints as an out-door pre servative. It is extensively used for the protection of wooden houses, farm and other out-buildings, farming implements, conservatories, park-paling, gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, cop r er, zinc, lead, brick, stone, old compo, and stucco fronts, and tiles to represent sating. The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to every ether paint for out doo- purposes may be easily inferred from the simple fact, that its use has been always most strenuously opposed by colour manufac turers, painters, oil and colourmen, and others interested in the sale of common paints. It is also very economical, any labourer being able to ay it on. Colours—White stone, light stone, drab or Portland stone.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Coventry, July 28. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) Mary Ball, aged 31, was indicted for the wilful mur der, on the 18th of May last, at Nuneaton, in this county, of Thomas Ball, her husband. Mr. Hayes and Mr. Mellor appeared as counsel for the Crown ; Mr. Miller an.l Mr. Denison defended the prisoner. The prisoner had purchased of a Mr. Iliffe a penny worth of arsenic. The deceased person was her hus band. Ile went out a fishing at nine o'clock, and re turned at four, Joseph. Petty, and a man of the name of Watts, being with him. He drank only cold water. He was well when ho returned home. At six o'clock he was very bad, and his wife went over to a neighbour and said so. He, died at two on the Sunday morning. A post mortem examination proved the presence of ar senic, through only two or three grains were reproduced. The Learned Counsel engaged for the prisoner defended her as ably as man could. her case was that she purchased, with a friend, arsenic to kill bugs. There were bugs. She said that she used it all for the pur pose for whioh she, had procured it. It seemed that the unfortunate woman had formed an attachment to the son of her husband's employer, then only nineteen years old. For her defence it was said that the ar-e senic was in the scu!lery in a paper, near to which, on , the shelf,- was a paper containing salts. The defence, admitting that the man was killed by arsenical-poison, was that it was accidentally left, so that he took it by misadventure,. To one witness she expressed' a hope that they, would " not, cut him open." A witness said, " Really, I couldn't have thought that you would have done such a thing." She answered, I " have had enough to make me do that and much more." The sur geon stated that 'without a suggestion about poison hav ing been administered, the appearances would have in duced that conclusion. Thete was inflammation caused by metallic poison; and it clearly !--ts. arsenic. To one she said,- ' • .r can I rtpeaisealt I ttits•itiM enotigh , tial mall e a t e,:eliC 'entyatinatati 'much."

God, sticlt* bit as thisl"- One, time. she said,' poison you."! AnOther time she • said " I wish the waggon train 614! pass over.you." The Learned Judge' allowed that' the arsenic was procured for a lawful purpose, bat expressed , a fear that she' had, familiarised her mind With: such things and such subjects, until she was brought to, make deadly use , of the arsenic in question. • To the ; person—a woman of the. name of Nicholsone-who went with , hen to bur the arsenic (an article ,not- sold ; to a person ,applying. singly for it), she said on - tieing asked, " You don't want-;opoiStin yourself, do yen ?" - " No I would rather .poilere Toro than myself." That he was by arsenic poisoned bein seyotad all doubt, the only question' rernainiag was, as tollae geilty intent of the prisoner.: stielsitfeuithappity attid - that she had - mixed it with his, gruel..:Theerned•jutige left the question tq the jury. Was- the fadt done, aid' if done, was it the criminal in-; tent of the prise - ee-? The motive - that appeared was,, that she had acquired a dislike td him, and an attach-I went ;to William Bacon. From the summing up of the j Leained Judge seemed that she had said, when bel was going sourwhere by the railway, ".If he comes hackt I'll poison him." "his sister Jane has been telling liesi about me. I'll murder my husband if he says anvthingi more about it." He called her a w—; and she said, ' l Well,l if lam one, I will be pne." She had also said, " Before he shall serve'methiat trick again, I'll poison him." De ceased had been asked,'" Why did you beat her?" and he said, "I sew nil:iegh through a chink in the wall with William Bacolo • The Judge enjoined the jury notito imagine consequences, but answer the question— did ,she use the7thifig,ivith a settled purpose to destroy her husband or , not? ; It was quite clear that on the husband's mind there was a suspicion with reference to William - Bacon. One Abel Vernon, said to her, " Mary, your husbs.nd'a__ gone 4 off very suddenly ; it's very alarming. I have been informed you have been buying some arsenic." She answered, "Yea, I have; I bought it at Richardson's,' used it to'kill the bugs, threw the'dup away, and burnt the paper." Twice over to the constables she said (that she had used the whole of the Poiionin the way designed, viz , about the bedsteads. Then sbe said that ilia `took some out of it, and laid it on the pantry shelf/where there was some salts, and by.accident he took it.: . Then, again, she said that " she had a bit, of arsenic,. and mixed it with some salts, and put it, into some gruel, ;and gave it to the' man, and it' they examined the stmastich it would be like! a piece of beef:. She s t aid that: she was sorry that sbe had not told Haddon (toe constable) the; truth. To one witness, who said, " Mary, I understand they are going to open yciur husband," she "If they do, I shall be hanged." Witness said, "Good Lord, Mary, I hope William Bacon lias nothing - -td do with it," and she answered. "He is as innocent as a lamb. He knows nothing about it." • • The defence -was that PO , !tnbappily told one lie threugh:fear (the Judg.•"%, s,• ; . i 'tog that even the:stoutest rasiat a t.*./1.- ,Sail.firc.4.herself in of diffi culty, fell into .n labyrint .firs tatselruut - pfaced - SeN in her present predicament. She had loft the poison so carelessly that when she knew that her husband had taken it, terror arising from her own sense of misconduct affected her with alarm, and made her unconscious. The jury retired for nearly two hours, and then re turned a verdict of Guilty, with a recommendation to mercy. The JUDGE wished to know on what ground that re commendation was founded ? The jury turned round and consulted, and the foreman then said, " Guilty of murder." Mr. Justice COLERIDGE put on. the black cap, and passed sentence of death. He said that there had been a long and patient hearing, and the jury had found the prisoner guilty of killing by poison the man whom she was bound to tend. If he thought that there were cir cumstances that would avert what impended ho should not venture to say so. The kindest thing that he could now do was to say that he could see no ground for ex tending mercy. It seemed that the poor man's life had become an obstacle in the prisoner's way, and she showed no mercy to him. He was willing to believe that the poison was bought innocently, and that she had suf fered her mind to become familiarised with the idea of; using so deadly an instrument. He besought her to cast away all hopes in this life; and she is left for execution. OXFORD CIRCUIT. —Shrewsbury, July 28. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) CHARGE OP MURDER. —Mercy Catherine Newton aged 30, was charged with having, on December 5, 1848, at the parish of St. Mary, Magdalene, in the bo rough of Bridgenorth, killed and murdered Anne New ton, her mother. Th© mode of killing was laid in eight or nine different ways—strangulation, smothering. &c. Mr. Whitmore and Mr. Pnillimore appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. Iluddlestone and Mr. R. Kettle for the prisoner. On the prisoner being brought to the bar, and the jury being about to be called, Mr. HuDDLESTONE proposed to plead that the pri soner had been put on her trial at the last assizes for this offence, and that the jury had been discharged without having come to a verdict. The Learned Gentleman hav ing put in the plea, it was read, and then a long conver sation ensued as to what course should be pursued, but as the record of the former trial and the discharge of the jury and the reasons for it had been made up and was in court, the Learned Gentleman ultimately with drew the plea, as he said he bad all the same advantages by the way in which the record was made up as he would have by pleading this plea, and the trial then proceeded in the ordinary course. At half-past six o'clock only one witness had been examined. The Court then adjourned and met again this morning at nine. The prisoner, who, though only 30 years of age, looks 40 or more, was dressed in black suitably to her stati on in life, and conducted herself throughout the trial with singular firmness and composure, repeatedly making suggestions to her attorney. Sho has been for nine or ten years housekeeper to an elderly gentleman, a Mr. Dyer, who lived in a house in Bridgenorth, called Severn House, and who was so paralysed that he could not walk or speak, except to say, " Mary," "Aye," and "No." By his will he left her a little house and 17 guineas. The deceased was 72 years of age, and was very quick and acute for that time of life, and was rather flighty. She was not as a medical witness described her —insane; but at times she was much excited, and would say very unreasonable things. She had the interest of 500/. settled on her life; after her death the prisoner was to have 2001. absolutely at once, and the interest of the remainder for life. For a long time before the death of the old woman she and the prisoner had not been on good terms, but for a fortnight before her death they seemed more sociable than th e y h ad been. The old s w i o o n m a a i n i ylivedto oMr Dyer's, lodgings so sometimes t t i h m e e town, w w n, and came occa his knowledge, sometimes without it, as in consequence of her and the prisoner's quarrelling ha did not like her corning there. She used to drink, and so u sed th e prisoner. The latter repeatedly expressed a wish fo r her mother' s death, so that she might g et the 2001 . , and com plained that " the old --" was living on her property and keeping her out of it till her (prisoner's) hair was become gray. A twelvemonth before the night in ques tion she beat her mother with a whip so shockingly that pieces of flesh were completely cut out of her arms, and on the servant, Mary Corfield, who attended always on Mrs. Dyer, remonstrating with her, she replied " her, let her die ; " and even when the surgeon who came to dress the wounds complained to her of the cruelty of her conduct, she said she was sorry she had not finished her. Five months before the death she again beat the old woman with a whip, and when Mary Corfield inter fered she threatened to treat her in the same manner. She had recently gone on her knees to her mother, and begged of her to commit suicide, and she would supply her with the things necessary for the purpose. When Dr. Newal twice remonstrated with her on beat ing the poor woman, she on each occasion answered, " I am sure I shall kill her some day or other, and I know I shall come to be hanged for it." When he could not persuade her on his second application to treat her mother better, he said, "You re member, your relation at Severn-hall was hanged for killing his wife, and if you kill your mother you will be the second hanged in the family." She was re peatedly heard to express regret that the old woman had lived so long, and was keeping her out of the money ; and to threaten that she would shorten her mother's days, and to express fears that her mother would be the cause of her cotning to an untimely end. She frequently beat her mother, and when her pass' on subsided she expressed regret sometimes for having done so, sometimes for not having done more. She used to apply the most horrible epithets to the old woman, and was heard to wish her mother's legs cut off at the knees, and to say she knew she should come to hang for her mother. " She should never be happy so long as her mother was above ground." " When her mother was dead she would drive a stake through her heart." " She will never die ; a cannon ball would not knock her down." There was a thunder-storm on a Sunday afternoon in the summer of last year, and before it abated the other servant said to the prisoner, " Kitty, there is a thunderbolt fallen somewhere," to which she replied "Yes, and I hope it has fallen on that old devil." She' was often heard to say she would wish to see her mother cut into quarters, and broiled on a gridiron. These expressions were used at various times within a year of the 4th of December. Ear conduct to the old woman was very cruel. The latter Came one day to Mr. Dyer's, and, seeming faint from hunger, the other servant, Mary Corfield, went to the prisoner, and asked her to give some food to her mother, as she was very faint, and the , prisoner answered, "The -- old --, let her clem (starve) to death." She used to beat her so violently that the other servant was frequently obliged to call in Mr. Dyer's nephew to prevent her and ref tore quiet. On one occa sion when he was called in she continued abusing the old woman, and gave her a push on the chest, which would have thrown her back into the fire had he not run forward and saved her. She once struck her across the legs, at the knees, with a poker. She was once beating her so cruelly in Mr. Dyer's parlour that the blood flowed from the back of her head; and when the other servant interposed and said, " Oh, Kitty, she will die," her answer was, "-- her, let her die." She once threatened to cut off the top of the poor woman's tongue with a razor, and in order to prevent this the other servant was obliged to throw the razor into the river Severn, evhich flowed I near the house. About five months before the - 4th of • December she beat her severely, cut and blackened the flesh-about her.knaes, and caused her to sprain her ankle. She once tore- the flesh off the inside of her mother's mouth, and.vvleete the . other servant discovered it by seeing bleed on a plate, and went and remonstrated with her, she replied " her, she haS told you that," and I ran into the brewhouse where the old woman was, but! the other servant followed and prevented her from doing anything more. She once attempted to choke her, and • the marks of her fingers outside the. old woman's nscir.4l were visible fur a long time afterwards. When the old woman was at Mr. Dyer's one.efiening, she threw a quan- I tity of water over her clothes, And when the other servant! wished to put some dry clothes on her, the prisoner would! not allow her, saying, "Let her be in her wet ; I hope! she will be dead before morning." Her conduct towards! her mother generally was so violent and cruel, that the' magistrates of the borough were frequently appealed to, but they•could. only remonstrate with her, as the old ' woman would not appear against her. About eieht months ago she pushed her mother into a chair in Mr. Dyer's pat lour, and was endeavouring to choke her with; - a handkerchief, which she was forcing down her throat,', when Mary Corfield came and saved her, pulled the pri-1 away, and took out the handkerchief. The poori woman's mouth was torn and bleeding, and blood alsoi rushed from her ears. .The handkerchief wascovereilt all over with spits of blood. The girl Corfield kept it in her box in the same state in which she took it cut of the poor woman's mouth, and produced it on the inquiry! after her death, and on the last and present trial. 11l appeared that the deceased was gene:ally very cold and , chilly, and in the habit of going very near the fire; that; in consequence of goingloo, near the fire she on one; occasion burned her dress, and on another her apron; on the latter occasion she had removed the fender in order to get near the grate. That she used to smoke in bed,.and to light her pipe with lucifer matches, and to; put these on her chair by her bedside, and to carry them; in a basket. Mary Corfield, who spoke to these circura- 1 , stances, in cross examination, said she did not remembe r ; ever having seen her carrying them in her bosom or) : pocket; but she could not say that she did not sometimes; take the matches ;rorn her bosom or pocket. There was. no other evidence on this phint. On the night in ques tion she brought her pipe with her and it was found the next morning in her basket. Three or four months, before that night she had slept there on the • sofa: in the kitchen, and when Mary Corfield observed! the next day the corner of the sofa cushion hurried, eshei said she had done it. On the evening of Monday,• thei 4th day of December, - she came to Mr. Dyer's batiste; Her ankle was then still weak, and she had in her basket: a bottle of liniment fora sprained ankle. In the ,course' of the evening she handed the prisoner a card, saying,' " Kitty, here is a card with the Lord's Prayer on it," but the prisoner flung it in the Gre, saying, " that will not feed you." The old woman had a supper of bread and cheese, with half a pint of beer. The prisoner after wards sent ant Mary Corfield for a quart of rum, and on her bringing it treeted her to a little of it in a cup, as she had a cold. The old woman did not get any of it. Be , ree. thfty nartiaantati for the night, .haif pint of it was used. The deceased lay down to sleep on the sota in the kitchen, and the prisoner prepared to undress. She used to sleep up stairs, but was in the habit of undress ing in the kitchen. Her clothes were found on a chair in the kitchen the next morning. Mary Corfield went up stairs at half-past nine. Half an hour before she went up she met the prisoner coming from the pan try towards the kitchen with a butterboat full of dripping. Corfield lay down in her master's bed-room to attend on him. She did not fall asleep. She heard the prisoner shut the door leading out of the kitchen to the foot of the stairs, and which used not to be shut at night. She soon heard a " streak"—a sort of shriek or scream, and ran down stairs, and heard the mother and daughter talking. After a while they became quiet, and she went up again, After some time she heard the de ceased say, " Don't, Kitty; don't!" but hearing no more she soon dropped off to sleep, and did not wake till twelve o'clock, when she had occasion to get up to at tend her matter. After doing all that was necessary for him she again lay down to sleep, and did not awake till he roused her up about two o'clock, when she felt a smell of fire and a sense of suffocation, and found the room full of smoke. She then ran down stairs into the kitchen, and as she was going down saw a light in the yard. She found the door between the kitchen and the stairs still closed. The kitchen was very wet, particu larly near the fireplace. There was very little fire in the grate, but the whole place was full of smoke. She ran out at once by the front door to a Mr. Doughty's, a nephew of her master, and aroused him and wife with a cry that the house was on fire. Mr. Doughty immediately ran back, and as ho was coining near the place saw the prisoner in the yard, near the brewhouse. lie tried to get in by the front, but found it fastened (it fastened by a spring lock). He then ran to the back door; that, too, was fastened. He ran back to the front door; and, finding he could not get in there, ran again to the back door, and had it opened to him by the pri soner. After attending to his uncle he came down stairs and found the back door bolted and fas tened, and the girl Corfield waiting outside. While she was waiting she thought she saw a splashing of water in the brewhouse. He let her in. He was sure that he had not fastened the door. They both went into the kitchen, and found it very wet, and a little fire smouldering on the sofa, which Mr. Douehty at once pat out. They found a great deal of water on the sofa and pillows. Part of the sofa and the pillows, and the entire back of the sofa cover, were burned. They found a quantity of water, rags, ,and tinder, and a piece ef rag covered with spots of blood in the kitchen. The fire is the grate was nearly out. While they were there the prisoner came in from the back premises in her night dress. Mr. Doughty said to her, " You and your mether have been near burning Mr. Dyer." She replied, " What have I to do with my mother?" She was not sober then, nor quite drunk. Site went to the cupboard—the sofa lay between it and the firo—and took out the bottle of rum which had been b ou g ht over ni g ht, and asked him "If he would drink!" He said " Ile would not drink with such a wretch." She then drank out of the bottle, and it was after that she appeared drunk. About half a pint was then remaining in it. No ruin was after wards found in the stomech of the deceased. He said to her, " You wretch, you are so drunk you cannot stand." She replied that she was not drunk, but it was he that we; drunk. She then lay down on the sofa. Mary Corfield then said she would go and look for the old woman; and the prisoner observed, " You will not find her." While Corfield was away, and before the body was found, she said, " Passion, passion ; but when the passion is over I forgive." On which Mrs. Doughty, who was in the kitchen with tier husband, re marked, " Passion sometimes makes people do things that are very wron g ." Corfield, on going out o f the kitchen towards the brewhouse, found the deceased lying on her face across the steps of the brew house. The girl then went out, and looking into the brewhouse found her lying on her face, apparently burnt to death, upon which she returned to the kitchen, anti cried out " Good God, the old woman is dead ' • she is burnt to death !" 'rho prisoner made no remark. Mr. Doughty then said " You wretch, you have murdered the old woman at last." To this, too, she made no answer. Mrs. Doughty and a Mr. and Mrs. Ridley had arrived by this time. Soon af terwards the prisoner said to Mr. Ridley, " Did he not recollect a fire four or five years ago?" He replied, " Perfectly well, but that was accidental, this was wil ful." She said nothing. She afterwards said, " Miss Tomlies many times said the gentlemen would have a consultation over me." All the witnesses agreed that she was not sobte• then. On being asked how the fire happened, she said she was in bed, and finding a smell of fire, came down, and seeing the sofa burning, took water out of the tub and " douted" (i. e quenched) it. On Mr. Doughty remarking to the girl Corfield, it was lucky she went for him, the prisoner said, with a peculiar smile, "It was you, then, fetc hed Mr. Doughty; you have done something." A policeman named Evans was sent for and soon arrived. She a fter , - wards made a signal to Mrs. Ridley to come to her, n a i n i t d on her going to her put her hands round hoenrl\nfers. Rid. kissed her, and said, " Is her dead ?"_ d d and •Go and get her ley saying she was, prisoner into the parlour." She then p e u a t a d a n Afterwards ce,utbsihnigon.,,over her face, and said, " Do not let me she sat up, Observing that h s e s h e h e l"aisdnoosvwn a t (es' hippy c as it she was in heaven, and t was then so drunk. beenthatthoeneuporfoatrhewmasenstawnhdoinliga,blyher brought to the house by s h e put.her arras. round his neck aad kissed She' never went or proposed to go to see the body from the time it was discovered. On being charged by the po liceman, Evans, with murdering her mother, she made no answer. He then ordered her to take off her clothes, and she went with the girl Corfield into another room and took them off and put on others. Whilst she was doing so she shock her hands and said, " All! Mary— Ah! Mary." Her hands were examined and fouud to be slightly scorched and blistered. In the left sleeve of her shift there was a hole burned, and on her left elbow there was found a corresponding burn, and her arm from wrist to elbow was all burned. Her dress was also singed and wet from the knees down, and very dirty. On searching her bed-room it was as• certained that she had not been in bed. There was the mark of some one having laid down on the outside of the bed. She had lain down on the Monday. The girl Corfield had not heard her go upstairs that night, and her nightcap was where the girl had placed it when making the bed on Monday, but none of the witnesses had taken such particular no tice of the bed as to be able to say whether any ono had been in the bed. On examining the kitchen they found that it was the end of the sofa furthest from the fire that was burned. They found further a stocking put up to cover a crevice its the window-shutters, which would prevent any one passing in the street from seeing what was going on in the kitchen; and to anticipate the suggestion that the deceased might have put it there to keep out the cold, it was proved that the glass was not yard broke n.was The doorpost of the kitchen leading into the much burnt at the height of about three feet from the ground, and even th e ironwor k was heated to some extent. There were also some marks of blood on standing, ihe Some door-post the door-posts, b u t these anof the witnesses were declared by the medical witnesses to be of o ld d thought that the burning been effected while the deceased was in must have posi tion, and the theory for the defence vea:rti7a r t e ettheo ld woman, finding herself accidentally on fire, was s pro ceeding to the brewhouse , where s h e knew there wisa 'barrel of water, and leaned in her way against•the doore - post. The theory on the other side seemed to be, that the prisoner, on dragging out the dead body, partially on fire, might have, from fear, doubt, confusion design, or weakness, rested for a short time at the doer,and the fresh air, rushing on to the flames, might have suddenly raised them to a blaze. On the doorpost of the brewhouse there was also a mark of burning. The deceased was found lying partly in the yard and partly in the brewhouse, her lower limbs lying outside the steps of the hreseheteefe ea u the rest of her body inside. There were neither shoes nor stockings on the body. On the following Sunday marks of naked feet in oil were found leading from the sofa towards the brewhouse. which had not been per ceived till the floor was washed, and were rendered dis tinct by the washing, and could not be erased by water. Near the body was found a cotton bag, which seemed to have been used indiscriminately as a bag or pillow. It was besmeared with oil, and in the inside there were a • great•many merks of blood. In the yard, near the feet of the body, they found four pairs of sheets which lied been in 'the. kitchen the night before. These were quite wet and par:fatly burnt. There had been a heavy fall of rain ;. that might have wetted them. It was sow geeted that the deceased, being of a chilly nature, had wrapped these around her, when she felt herself cold 'during the' night, and did not throw them off until she -reached the yard. On the floor of the brewhouse .they found a great quantity of water, and everything on the body 'was quite wet, as if. a large qua ntit y of water had, been splashed upon it. They did nut dis turb the body, but at once took measures for summon ing a coroner's inquest, and sending the prisoner to gaol. On her way to the gaol, as she was passing a house called Severn Hall, where some of her family formerly lived, she said to the policeman, "This will be a second Severa-hell job. Passikep, 'session! When the passion is over tforgive directly." -. On being told she was im prisoned 'on suspicion 'of ' murdering her Mother, she said, " Oh, Lord!" and afterwards asked one of the police it' it was true that her mother wts dead; and; on being told it was, deeired him to go and make her mother comfortable, and te - ctime again •to her. When the coroner's jury Met, the deceased was found in the eituation'alreedy mentioned, lying on her lace and belly, with her hands joined across the upper part of her breast, according to ono• witness, and across her mouth according to another. Her nose, which had been a very .prominent organ in life, was flattened down so as not to raise alenvittluefightla of an inch over the level of the face, and, as it never resumed its original appearance, the medical-mad said it must have been so flattened for some time before she died. The body was .fearfully :burnt; so:burnt that the surface was completely charred. The front of the thighs and body, from a little above the knees to near the throat, and the tip of the tongue and the lips were also burnt. The outside of the mouth was quite livid. Her tongue was quite livid and congested or swollen. One of her toes was bruised as if some one had trodden on it, but there was no red. ness or blood on it. The burning of the body was so great that a medical man, on first seeing the body, and before he made any internal examination, said that it would account for the death. A minuter examination of the place was then instituted, and it was found that the ante Wii.a burnt to the width of than •ahoulders, lust as if, she had been burnt upon it while reclining upon it, with her shoulders resting high on the - end ; and further, that the butterboat, which had been full of dripping over night, and a pint bottle, which had been also nearly full of lamp oil over night, were both empty, and that marks of grease and oil were on the pillowcase, the sheets, and the sofa. The butterboat was found on the hob of the grate slightly burned. Three medical men attended the post mortem examination and before the coroner. These were Mr. Coley, a general practitioner, and Mr. Thurs field, and Mr. Newel, surgeons. In addition to these, two physicians, Dr. Strange, and Dr. 131-ker, saw the body, and gave evidence before the coroner. The inquiry before the coroner extended to ten sittings, and, finally, the coroner's jury refused to find an inquisition for even putting the prisoner on her trial. The case was afterwards sent for trial by the magistrates. Dr. Strange was not examined before the magistrates, or on the last or the present trial, and from this the prisoner's counsel contended it was obvious that Dr. Strange differed from the other practitioners. Since the last trial Mr. Coley died. A question arose to-day as to bow proof might be given of his evidence, and as his answers to questions on cross-examination on the last trial had been more favourable to the prisoner than those of the other me-. dical men, and her counsel wished those answers to be read, his Lordship said he would take it on himself to read the note of the late Mr. Justice Coltman, who pre • sided at the last trial, the coutisc; having tint ascer• tained that the note contained a sufficient report of ,h, answers. The n,ae was read accordingly. In addition to the Bridgenorth medical witnesses, mere were on the former and the present trial two gentlemen called for the prosecution, who merely attended in court, heard the evidence, and then expressed their opinions, as scientific men, as to the cause of death. These were Dr. Samuel Wright, Professor of Clinical Medicine, at Queen's College, Birmingham, and author of a prize essay on asphyxia by submersion; and Mr. David Bolton, Lecturer ou Clinical A=natomy at the same college. All these medical men were of opinion that the body could not have been burnt as it was merely by the clothes and sheets which were on it, but that it could have been so burnt if the flames had been rendered more intense by such a quantity of grease and oil as those vessels contained being thrown upon it. At first the impression was that the deceased had been thus burnt to death, but on minuter external examination it was observed that, with the exception of one small blister, which contained straw-coloured serum, on k the inner side of the right leg, four inches below . the com and far below th e plac e where the great menced, there was no blister on any other part o burningf the body, and no mar k of redness at the parts where the in jured and uninju red tissues joined, or around that one blister. Mr. Coley admitted, in conformity with a quo tation from " Taylor on Medical Jurisprudence," that in eodrseand run ran the absence of these signs there was no certain data whereon to decide whether the burning took place before or after death; but the other three Bridgenorth practi tioners and Dr. Wright agreed that there were ceitain signs that the body had been burned after death. They were further confirmed in this view by the colour of the blood in the lungs. They were all four of opinion that the burning took place alter death; arid with the excep • tiou of Mr. Bolton, all said they had never seen or heard of a case where a person had been burnt to death in which the burnt parts, unless they were altogether charred, were not blistered and did not exhibit a line of redness where they adjoined the uninjured parts. Mr. Bolton said he had himself seen a body destroyed in a c ,Iliery explosion which was charred all over, except in a few spots, and that in those few spots there were marks of redness. Ho admitted that the only excep fun he had known to the general rule was, where persons were burnt to death in colliery explosions. In that case there were generally no signs of blisters or red ness. On the night in question no witness had heard the deceased scream or moan. Further, on an internal examination of the body, it was found that there was such a congestion of the lungs, heart, and brain, as to leave no doubt that death was caused by suffocation. On this point there was no difference of opinion. On the throat there was no sign of strangulation. The queshteic:y ton was, how was the suffocation effected? d I by and the prosecution was, that the prisoner £1.13,T9he putting something over her mouthhrees d k and nitten her pressing it so forcibly down as t her. The theory and when she was accidentally that her clotheshaving decdnose immediately n t the an r comm b m o ; entionsd, n t r i c l ) LT , d i g , for the defence was, • brewhouse and was suffocated she w as stup:fied and f:righte t i . b il either by the taken fire, theintookeor by the flames as she lay on the floor, P l a yi ng im ap m as e m dia e te f ly the in front of tier mouth and nostrils, and preventing the glottis.

Mr. Coley had said that it was just possible that suffoca tion might be produced by flames so preventing the in gress of air to the lu ngs , b ut t h e others said they could not conceive it possible that the deceased could in this case have been suffocated by the flames. One said such an Effect eoeld not be produced except the body wits sur rounded by flames, weereae only one side of the body was on fire. Another said it could not be produced except the flames were restrained by mechanical means, and the person were previously rendered insensible.

HUDDLESTONE, having addie4" . 4l the jury on be• .:-.• half of the prisoner, contended that thesideath was ccea ; sioned in the manner above stated ; that the prisoner. who was drunk overnight, being aroused by the cries of the other servant, ran down stairs, and finding her mother in flames in the brewhouse, threw water upon her ; and that, setting aside the prejudice created by her former language and conduct, there was not a single fact in the case inconsistent with this view ; and that it was impossible for them, after a coroner's jury refused to put the prisoner even to answer the charge, and a jury at the last assizes, after huvieg heard the charge, and the evidence bearing upon it explained to them by one of the ablest of the judges, now no more,., could not, after nearly 20 hours' confinement, agree upon it, to dis regard the doubts which appeared on so many minds, and say she was guilty. Mr. Baron ROLFE, in summing up the case, told the jury that they must acquit the prisoner unless they were satisfied that the woman died by suffocation ; for all the medical witnesses on whose evidence they were acting proved that suffocation only was the cause of death. They had heard observations made on the dif ferent modes in which the death was stated in the indictment to have been occasioned. It was true that the indictment laid the death in nine or ten different modes. It might be difficult for them to fix on the par ticular mode of suffocation ; whether by putting the fingers down the throat or on the throat, or covering the mouth with a cushion ; but there was one all-sufficient mode of accounting for the death to satisfy them—that stated in the eighth count—namely, that the suffocatioa was effected by certain means, to the jurors unknown After going through the facts of the case, his Lordship concluded by saying that if they saw no reasonable solu tion of the case before them except that the suffocation was caused by the prisoner, they should find her guilty; but if they saw any other reasonable solution of it, thay should say she was not guilty. The jury retired at half-past seven o'clock, and the Court was soon afterwards adjourned to the Judge's lodgings. At half-past ten o'clock his Lordship returned, toge ther with Mr. Justice Erle, in consequence of a commu nication that one of the jurors had been taken ill. Mr. Clements, a fellow of the College of Surgeons in this town, was immediately sent to attend on the juror, and to report his opinion on the state of his health. On his return ho was sworn, and stated that the juror was labour ing under an attack of cholic, and that his life would be endangered by his being locked up for the night without medieine being given to him. Ho was now at intervals capabl e . an d at others i ncapa b le, of atten di ng to bpi nes°. H e d ec l are d h o had no wish to shrink from t h e peiform ance o f his duty, and would perform it unflinch ingly if he got the proper medicines. Thomas Harris Massey was the name of the juryman. He had known, him before. The attacks lasted sometim.s two days, and sometimes went off very soon. "Unless he had medi cine administered to him he —sew become much worse, an d ta— ta. would not answer for the conseau.• especially as the cholera was now a prevailing epidemic in the town. If he had medicine there would be a chance of hisbeing relieved and being able to go on till six o'clock to-morrow without food. His LORDSHIP—If he is .in such a state that he cannot go on without food, I have no power_to OrdQr it,_but I can allow him to have medicine. Mr. Clement—Suppose I should order 11 im a strong decoction of beef tea? He has heed fasting' all day, and wants it much. .

' Mr. CLEMENT-4 will then undertake to keep him 'ree from hnicif for seven hours, that is, till six o'clock to-morrow. . The Court then adjourned again, at ten minutes past 11, to six o'clock this morning. . JULY 29, HALF-PAST 6 A.M. The Court met at „six this morning (Sunday), and the jury appeared and stated that they, had not agreed, and it was impossible for them to agree. ... The juror who was ill last night a.l4,the medicines he had received had restored him, and iie was now well. None of the others complaining. orillness, all were locked up again,_and the Court adjourned to the judge's lodgings. 20 MINUTES PAST 9. The Court met again at .the above time. When the jury had asseinbled and answered to their names, and in answer to the officer, said they had not agreed to their verdict. , ____ _ . _ • His Lot:Damp said —Gentlemen, by a. jotter 'which you haV - e fiddressed to me, you - asaire to know whether there is sufficient evidence of the guilt of the prisoner by suffocating the' deceased. That is the point which you must decide. You must make up your own minds on that, and see that it is made out to your satisfaction. The indictment charges the suffocation in varions weys by tying a handkerchief over the mouth, by putting a cushion over the mouth and nostrils, and by other ways. There is no sufficient evidence "'of suffoca tion by an exclusion of the air by a current of flame, as suggested for the prisoner • nor is there any evidence or death by burning.: . Indeed, ( n the evi -lent, a if you think she died lay bn..inc- you ougiit to acquit her ,as that might be nothing but accident. , The only question is whether there is sufficient evidence to justify you in coming to the conclusion that she died by suffocation; and if you think she died by suffocation, the particular mode of suffocation is unimportant. -There is no evidence of the mode in which she died, except the medical testimony, and the statement of two of the wit nesses that she once attempted to throttle her mother. This last is the only direct evidence pointing to suffoca ion, except the state of the body alter death. With regard to the evidence of the medical men it must be remarked that not one of them had seen a body that was burned to death, and all they say is from theory and the statement's contained in learned medical books. These gentlemen say, from their view of the human body, this is so and so; but a learned book, quoted on the other hand, says it is not so. His Lordship then went over a great deal of the medical evidence, especially that of Mr. Coley, who had admitted that it did not follow from the marks ,if burning in this case that the burning was after death, and that the current of flame might have prevented the incress of air to the lungs, and commented upon the different opinions of the medical witnesses as to the ap pearances of congestion in the brain, lungs, and heart after death by burning, and referred to an opinion of Dapnytren's relied on for the prisoner, but observed, that an English writer, who had been quoted on the same subject. differed from Dupuytren. Mr. R. KETTLE begged to say that the reliance for the prisoner was upon the fact stated by Dupuytren, chat in cases of immediate death by burning, the lungs and brain were congested; and that that fact was not controverted by the commentator, but only c-rain in erences to be drawn from it, which did not affect this inquiry. His LORDSHIP acquiesced in this suggestion, and then again proceeded with the evidence, and thus concluded: —I can only tell you, that if I were a juryman, unless I was satisfied that the party died by strangulation, in the ordinary sense of the word—namely, by putting the fingers on the throat, or a cushion or handkerchief over the mouth and nose, or pressing the windpipe, or by such means, I should feel myself bound to return a verdict of not guilty.

Lottosuir —lf it is quite clear that She did the act, then it would be utterly unimportant whether she used the expressions; but where the question is in doubt, and there is a question as to whether there is any ade quate motive for the crime, then those expressions and the state of the will and the property may lead yoa to form a judgment as to whether there is any adequate motive; and if it is on the other hand, shown that she had no motive, it would be an argument in ir te la n y u jia But you must not press that too far, and notl it is extremely unimportant, if you not jet she died by suffocation—you u expressions operate on your this crime merely because she hay woman. is Lordship should read the A statedtheb deaththesubstanceof be e e n ac o h e of minds eo beenfin mast h s v t e at Irtroi vary those wickedeilvdta:ghu,a, eightht h e :i c in t s t ' Ltc n ho js ußrn : D p jis u u u ; ro i ol i l a rC't g hhtdebg a eini.r e ce o dd r d round the mouth 2 B y sinned d g baycertain cushion down on the throat and nos . trils Y t h o deceased. 3.

His Lordship then added—lt is not ne cessary, in my oliuien, to distinguish by what particular instrument or means suffocation took p.nco. ou are satisfied that she died of suffocation, you ought to acquit the prisoner; but it you are satisfied, it is quite sufficient if you find the suffocation was effected by the fingers, or a cushion, or certain means unknown to ye t Mr. II UDDLESTON suggested that t he word 't was scarcely sufficient.
