EXTRAOR.D - NARY CASE OF ALLEGBD INHUMANITY.. The case of the young Woman, Elizabeth Joyce, who a few days ego complain«,d that she had been turned out of bet lodging, near Red Lion•square, immediately after being delivered of a still-boon child, on the evening of the 6th instant, was formal!yr brought before a Bow street magistrate yesterday, on a summons charging Isabella Ward, servant at the house in question, with an assault, alleged to have been committed in expelling the complainant. The chaplain of Ring's College Hospital again 'attended on behalf of the authorities of that institution. The complainant, a single woman, apparently of about 20 years of age, stated that she had no place of abode. At about 10 o'clock on the night of the 6th inst., when an momentary expectation of being confined, she went to St. Giles's Workhouse and applied for admission, stating the nature of her case. Tne porters sent her in to the 1 midwife, who said there was nothing the matter with her. The nurse then said, "You must go—we have no room for you here." She went down stairs, and one of the porters ordered her out of the house, advising her to go to a hospital. He then took her by the arm and put her out. She walked as far as Drury-lane, where she met with a friend, who undertook to find a lodging for her, and pay for it. He took her to a house in Eagle court, near Red Lion-square, where he engaged a bed fJr her, and paid the landlady for it. She saw him give the landlady the money. The defendant was present . After her triend had seen her into the room, h . e went downstairs, and left the house. She knew th at he intended to go away. As soon as he was gone, she undressed her self, and got into bed. That was about three-quarters of an hour after she was refused admission at the workhouse. She had not gone with her friend to any public-house, nor to any other place but Eagle-court. In about five minutes from the time she got into bed she found herself much worse. She then went to the door, and called to the landlady for help. She was just shutting the door again when she was confined. The landlady then came up stairs, and asked her what was the matter. She replied that she had been confined, adding that she did net think it would have happened so aeon. The landlady replied " Dress yourself immediately and get out of my house, or I will give you into the custody of a police. man for coming into a strange house for such a pur pose." The defendant, who came into the room at the same moment, went and fetched a piece of an old shawl, in which she wrapped the child up. The child never cried ; it was born dead. The defendant made witness get up and dress herself, and, taking up the child, car ried it down stairs, desiring witness to follow her. When they got down stairs, defendant took her by the arm and assisted her out of the house. As she (witness) could not walk quickly, defendant pushed her along. Defendant conducted her to Red Lion-square, saying, as they went along, "Now, you are not to contradict what I say. I will leave you in the. square while Igo and fetch a policeman, and I will tell him that I was passing when I accidentally saw you and went to your assistance." She asked witness to sit down on the stones, to make it appear that she had been confined there, but witness refused to do that as the stones were so cold. Defendant said that if witness did not do as she desired her, and say she was confined in the square, she would not go for a policeman, but leave her to her self. Witness accordingly agreed to flay what defendant desired her to say. Defendant then went away to fetch a policeman, and returned with police-constable A 340. Witness told the constable that she had been confined in the square. He went to a public-house and fetched some brandy and water, and when she had drank it he called a cab, is which he put her with -the assistance of the defendant, who also entered the cab, and they pro- ceeded to the hospital, where the defendant told the doc tor the same story she had told the policeman—that she had found witness in the square as she was passing. William Smith, police-constable 340 A, confirmed the previous witness's evidence with respect to finding her in the square, as stated, and added that he asked com plainant why she had not gone to tl e workhouse imme diately on finding herself unwell ? She replied, " I did apply there this evening, but, after being taken up stalls and examined by the midwife, I . was told there was nothing the matter with me, and they turned zoo out again." Ile said, "Did you tell them that you h no money, and that you were destitute ?" She replied, "I did, but they told me I must go out, as they could not keep me there." Witness then procured a glass of hot brandy and water, which he gave her, and sent for a cab. The defendant and another constable assisted him in -etting complainant into the cab, and Le took her t King's College flospiPal. Defendant asked if she would oe wanted, and he replied, ," Yes, i. is a very serious )ase, and you must go with us to the hospital." She accordingly went with themin the cab. From informa tion which he received eirthe following Sunday, he found that she was not confined in the square, but in the house 3, Eagle-court. The next day, Monday, he went to the hospital and said to her, "Now tell me the truth; were you confined in the square, as you have stated, or in a house ?" She then admitted that she was confined in the house, but saiil she had been induced to make the contrary statement by the threats of the people who had turned her out of doors. He went to the workhouse and saw the porters, who said the girl had been refused ad mission because she was not in the family way, but dis eased. Another person who was standing by told the porters they had no business lo open the house, at that time of night, to any one. Eliza Anderson, a girl of about 18; said she was a friend of the complainant's. She lived at 5, Essex-street, Guildford-street, Blackfriars. On the evening of the 6th October she was with complainant. Knew that the latter was in the family way. At about eight o'clock com plainant was taken ill. Witness took her to a doctor's in Drury-lane. The doctor gave her some medicine and said she had better go to the workhouse. They then went to St. Giles's workhouse, and witness told the porters that she thought her friend (complainant) was in labour. The porters spoke very sharp, and Paid she was not in labour, she only wanted a night's lodging. One .of them said she ought to have brought a certificate. Witness replied that she was too ill to go about to get one. He pushed complainant rather hard in the stomach, and said, " Oh, there is nothing the matter with you, you are not in labour." There was a gentle man present who looked like a doctor, and after asking her several questions, he said, "Let her go upstairs and be examined." She was taken up, and witness went away, but in about a quarter of an hour complainant came to her at a coffee-house in Drury-lane, and said they had turned her out. Witness then took her to the police-station in Bow-street, and asked the inspector on duty to send a policeman, and compel them to admit her as she was in labour. The inspector said he could not compel them to admit her, and advised witness to take her back again. Witness said, "that would be of no use—they won't take her in." After this witness met a young man, named Henry Baker, and asked him to pay for a night's lodging for complainant, and he said be would. They went away together, and she saw no more of them. Mr. Fray , . Workman deposed that he was house phy sician at King's College, Hospital. He was not present when the complainant was received into the hospital, as she was admitted by the house surge - on ' but sue was placed in hi s war d a b out midnight. Her sufferings were of course increased by want of proper attention, and by so much walking about as had been described. Toe alleged examination at the workhouse mist have taken place an hour or two only before her confinement, and the nurses ought to have been able to judge of her mdition. The two porters mentioned above, and the nurse of the lying-in-ward at the workhouse being in attendance, were here called upon to state their version of the case, but were not regularly examined. The porters agreed in stating that the complainant came to the workhouse with the witness Anderson between 8 and 9 in the even ing. They had two medicine bottles with them, and complaivant said she was in labour. It being a common trick for girls to say this in order to get into the work house, they (the porters) did not believe the story. Com plainant,was sent up stairs to the midwife' h h e o r w d e o v w er n , again, stating pains that she was suffering' ionf whichhtbourt.he who sent from disease, and not from the 'nee that it was a ruse, and one of Wit nesses both believed, from _ girls manner were giggling and joking, Clem expressed his belief that Anderson was drunk. Anderson, on being recalled and questioned on this point, positively cbeciared that she w as perfectly sober, not having drunk anything for a week or more. The nurse of the lying-in ward at St. G 6 t h instant eom iles's work house st a t e d, th a t on th e night of the plaina n t was b roug h t to h er t o be examined. She could perceive no s i gns o f l a b our. Sh e told complainant that way, but she had no d ou b t o f h er b e i ng in the family that she was n o t more t h an th ree montlas golie. She cautioned complainant that she was suffering from a serious malady, and th a t s h e oug ht no t to be walking ebout, but informed h er th at as t h a t war d was exclu sively for patients actually in labour, she could not be admitted, and must not stop there. She "said she W 39 a poor unfortunate girl, and had not a single friend in the whole world. Witness said she was very sorry for her. At this moment another case came in—a young woman on the point of being confined —and witness was obliged to attend to her. Witness then told the porters to put complainant somewhere else, adding that she might be taken into the receiving ward, but they said she had de clined to go there, and would not wait in the house. She desired them to take her into the receiving ward, on the ground that she was destitute. Mr. Jardine inquired to which of the porters witness had said this ? Witness —To both of them, I think. (Neither of the porters had made any statement to that effect in their evidence.) The defendant, after describing the circumstances at tendinc, the birth, and the complainant's expulsion from the house, said she asked complainant if she would take any refreshment. The landlady said she had nothing in and a glas of it given the house, and as complainant said she should like a dro tu p of gin, a quartern was sent for, stairs together, defendant or, her. They then went d own not, he carrying th e baby. On reaching the further, street,if defendasnt asked her if she could walk an y would at once call a oliceman, but she replied that she could walk as f ar as the square. " The They we nt to Red Lion -sq uare, an d d e f en d an t s aid, T policeman will him that you not do an ythi ng for you un l ess you tell were suddenly confined in the street. If you say it took place in a house, he will notinterfere." She consequently agreed to say this, and defendant told the same story for her good, both to the constable and afterwards at the hospital. Defendant went in the cab with complainant , and called at the hospital twice or three times afterwards to inquire how she was getting on. The complainant, in answer to the magistrate, de clared that ss';e never had the off,,r made to her to go into the receiving ward. She would have been glad to get there, or anywhere else, if she hal had .the chance. On the contrary, the porters turned her out and shut the gates upon her. Mr. Jardine said the only course open to him was to refer the conduct of the workhouse official' to the can- I I • THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNEgDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 24 1855. CITY SEWERS COURT. After the usual preliminary busi ne, , s had been disposeo of, the c , :urt were occupied some time in electing a su perintendent awl. a porter for the City of London Ceme tery, when Mr. Stacy was elected to the former and Joseph Wallace to the latter situation. It is supplsed that the cemetery •nay be opened for the public use within the course of a month ; but it was mentioned that the appointment by the Bishop of London of the time for consecration must be previously made. Deputy PEACOCK (the chairman) said the commission ers required more money on the cemetery account, and referring to the clerk's recent report upon the outlay thereat, he stated that 13,0001. or 14,0001. more would be required to pay off expenses. Mr. T. H. HALL observed that the treasurer should be requested to apply to different companies to borrow the sum required. Some of the commissioners considered that such a course was not necessary ; but a proposition to the effect of the suggestion was ultimately agreed to. It appears that this cemetery has cost nearly 75,0001. It was mentioned also that several of the arches form ing the catacombs had fallen in on the morning of last Wednesday, and that two of the contractor's workmen had been seriously injured. The surveyor appointed to superintend the works stated that he had called upon the contractor, who immediately complied with the directions to rebuild the arches. A. case of a projecting sign in Birchin-lane, placed by Mr. Armstrong, occupied the court a long time upon a question of law A 9 to projections, and it was decided by a large majority that Mr. Armstrong's application to affix a projection should not be granted. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. ( Prom the Regiatrar•General's Report.) In the week that ended on Saturday, October 20, 927 deaths were registered, showing an increase of 57 deaths over the number that was registered in the previous week. 480 males and 447 females died ; of the two sexes 463, or more than half the total number, were under 20 years of age ; 154 were of the age 20 to 40 ; 150 of the age of 40 to 60 ; 129 of the age 60 to 10 ; and 25 of the age of 80 and under 100 years. The mor tality is below the average rate of London, but 91 in excess of the deaths that would have happened under a satisfactory state. Through the neglect of vaccination small-pox was fatal to 12 children and to 4 adults. Measles was only fatal to 6 children ; 3 in the north, none in the south districts. But scarlatina is very prevalent, particularly in certain districts shown in the table, and has taken away the lives of 73 children and 2 adults. 43 deaths are referred to typhus, and 41 to diarrhcea. The wife of a bricklayer's labourer, aged 40, died on October 11th of malignant cholera, after 5 days' illness, at 19, New Peter-street, Westminster. A dock labourer, aged 49, died on October 13th, from diarrhcea (8 hours), Asiatic cholera (36 hours), at 16, St. George's-court, St. George-in-the-East. •Of cancer 24 persons died, consumption 112, apo plexy and paralysis 38, heart disease 36 ; bronchitis, pleurisy, and pneumonia, 97 ; of liver diseases, 16. Eleven violent deaths were registered. A foreign seaman (black), aged 17, died of " suffoca tion from charcoal, ignited for the purpose of killing rats," in the West India Dock basis. A death in the sub-district of St. Peter, Walwortb, of the wife of an oilman, at the age of 22, is thus returned : "The heart's action suddenly arrested from excitement." Last week the births of 915 boys and 810 girls, in all 1,725 children, were registered in London. Is the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1845-54, the average number was 1,391. The moon was in her first quarter on Thursday ; the elasticity of the atmosphere increased, and the barometer rose from 29.375 in, on Sunday to 30.069 in. on Satur day. The temperature of the air ranged from 36.8 deg. to 64.8 deg. ; the mean temperature was 50.1 deg., or near the average of the - season. The mean dew point was 46.1 deg. The thermometer on the grass fell be low the freezing point of water (31.4 deg.) on Tuesday night. The water of the . Thames was 54.7 deg. The wind was calm, or blew - gently from the west until Saturday, when the north-west wind passed over Green wich at the rate of 210 miles a day. Electricity was positive and strong on five days ; half an inch (0.44 deg.) of rain fell on four days.

INTEREST OF EXCHEQUER BILLS. Office of her Majesty's Paymaster-General, October 22, 1855. The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury having determined that the Exchequer Bills, dated in De cember, 1851, March, June, and August, 1855, issued under the authority of the Acts 17 Victoria, c. 12, 18 Vic toria, c. 8, and 18 and 19 Victoria, o. 130, shall, on and after the •05th October, 1855, bear an interest of two pence halfpenny per centum per diem ; the holders of all such Exchequer Bills are to take notice that, whenever the same shall be paid off, or shall, according to the con ditions of the said Bills, be received on account of any of the public revenues, aids, taxes, or supplies, the aforesaid rate of interest of twopence halfpenny per centum per diem will be allowed thereon from and including the said 25th day of October, 1855. sideration of the boari of guardians, who would, he hoped, investigate the matter thoroughly. He would not at present make any comment up ,n that part of the cue. As to the defendant, if !her account of the matter was true, she had certainly acted fairly enough, and her con duct appeared to have been reasonable, humane, and proper. But the inquiry must be adjourned till alter the board had examined their servants upon the subject, and then he should be better able to form an opinion upon the matter. The defendant must attend again on that day week. The governor of the workhouse said he would commu nicate his worship's desire to the board. THE MURDER NEAR MATIPEN IN 11911 THUMB SRL AND. NEWCASTLE-ON-Ma, Oct. 28. The greatest excite ment prevails in the neighbourhood where the horrible tragedy was committed. The name of the deceased is Dorothy Bewick, or, as she was called by her neighbours, " Dolly of Waterloo," after the name of. the village where she resided. In the cottage nearest to that occu pied by the deceased—to whom it also belonged—lived a man named James Conroy, his wife, and a family of children. They were in the habit of going about the country with a horse and cart selling brooms of their own manufacture. Conroy left his home on Wednesday last, saying he was going to the Heather Fell ; and on Saturday morning before the murder his wifd also wert away, saying she was going to join her husband at the Heather Fell, and leaving her children, as was her cus tom when she went from home, with the inmates of a neighbouring cottage, Barnard and Elizabeth Dobbin. Conroy's wife had a led horse with her when she went away. There was a halter round its neck, by which she was leading it. Neither of these parties have since been head of, and suspicion rests upon them as being impli cated in the murder, from the fact that Conroy had a dispute with the deceased a abort time ago, and was under notice to quit his cottage at Michaelmas term. He had also a dispute with William Robson, the brother of the deceased, and was heard to threaten that, "I will look after you." The cottage of the deceased, as already stated, was ransacked in every part, and the perpetrators of the deed had taken the precaution to screen the whole of the lower windows with quilts and sacking inside so that they might not be seen from the outside. They had besides fastened the door of the cottage occupied by Dobbin and his wife with a rope or portion of a halter outside, so that they could not get out should they have overheard any noise during the night. The murderera—for there was evidently more than one engaged—had thus earded as much as possible against detection, and when they leftikey retired by the back door, drawing it close, but unfastened. The discovery of there being anything wrong was made by a daughter of Dob bin, who was sent as usual to " Dolly's" cottage for milk. She returned and said she found Dolly's door open, and had shouted, but could not get her to hear. Dobbin himself then with a like result, and he being afraid to venture into the house went and gave informa tion to a person of the name of Matthew Laing, who met Mr. John Harrison, of Muckleridge, riding past upon his pony, and told him Harrisonand Laing then went into Dolly's cottage, and found her boey'lYn; the state already described on the floor of an upper room, only a few yards from the bed, and with only her chemise on. Her cap strings were fastened across her mouth to prevent her calling out, and she was bound hand and foot. The rope with which her feet were tied resembled the shank of a halter: A stick was found placed against the house wall, which had evidently been used as a walking stick. The leathern belt and buckle with which her hands were fastened will probably be identified, as well as the other articles found, and which must have belonged to the perpetrators of the horrid deed. Three men have been taken into custody by the county police, who have shown great activity in the matter. The inquest on view of the biltly nf the deceased was held yesterday afternoon at the Crown and Thistle, Mat fen, in the parish of Stamfordham, before Mr. Reed, coroner for the county, when John Harrison, of Muckleridge, farmer, was sworn and examined. He stated how he had met Matthew Laing, and went with him to the cottage of the deceased, and described the state of conluaion in which he found the furniture, and likewise the deceased A pane of glass had been broken in the lower room, and the mur derers might have effected an entrance in that way. There were two windows in the low room, both of which were darkened, one with a quilt, and the other with a quilt and sack. An oaken sapling was found outside the window about a yard long, which bad evi dently been used as a walking-stick. The back door of the Louse was-open. Deceased was 66 years of age. She lived up In her own property, and let the adjoining cottages, *Well also belonged to her. The tenants were gene aLy disorderly tramps, earthenware dealers, broom maker 4, and people seeking harvest work. Their beds were mostly of straw. Barnard Dobbin,.of Waterloo, labourer, was the next witness examined. After detailing facts already related, he stated that he went to bed about ten o'clock on Sa turday night, having barred his door, there being no lock upon it. When he got up in the morning be found the duor fastened outside with a rope, , resembling a halter, which was put round the sneck, and through a staple in the post. Had great difficulty in getting it open so far as to put a knife through to cut' the rope. He then described what subsequently took place, with respect to his daughter going for the milk. He had seen Conroy, who occupied an adjoining cottage, on the Wednesday previous, when Ciniroy told_ himi he was going to the Heather Feil. Conroy's wife went away on Saturday, leaving the children at his hoiWand neither of them had returned since. He was in his cottage one day lately when be overheard Mr. Win. Robson, the brother of the deceased, and Conroy quarrelling. They were using high words. The deceased was there also, and she ap peared to be very angry. On Mr. Robson going away he said to Conroy, " I will look after you," on which Conroy answered, Take care I don't look after you." Conroy was to leave his cottage at Michaelmas. When Mrs. Conroy went away on Saturday morning she had a horse with her ; was leading it by a halter. Saw the deceased last alive about 8 o'clock on on Saturday night, when he assisted her to fasten the pigs in the pig-house. Elizabeth Dobbin, the wife of the last witness, corro borated his evidence. She also overheard the quarrelling. At this point the inquest was adjourned till the sth of November. THE TREATMENT OF THE POOR IN ST. PANCRAS. Yesterday at a numerous meeting of Abe parochial authorities of St. Pancras, held in the Court-hou-e, King's.road, Camden-town, the following report was presented by Mr. WALDEGRANZ, the surgeon to the workhouse : " Some months have now elapsed since, at my re quest, the attention of the board was directed to the im propriety of converting the receiving wards int.) places of temporary accommodation for casuals admitted night ly, and I very much regret that no steps have as yet been taken to remedy the evil in the female ward. There are many serious objections to appropriating these wards to such a purp.se, apart from the danger of crowding in such a confined space so large a number of individuals, the majority of whom are in the most abject poverty—in a filthy condition—covered with vermin, and frequently suffering from a loathsome disease. The ave rage number admitted nightly is, adults, 50 ; children, 15. I desire more especially to direct your attention to the fact that patients are ft., quently admitted moribund, and therefore incapable of being removed with safety to the sick wards, and their detention in a small apartment, filled with the individuals I have described is highly im proper, and would, I firmly believe, in many instances hasten dissolution. To these wards all classes are taken on their admission, and amongst the number in many instances are persons who have been many years contri butors to the parochial rates, but through adverse cir cum-tances, over which they had no control, are reduced to the deplorable necessity of becoming recipients of that to which they bad formerly contributed. Now, if there be one class more than another upon which extra care and attention should be bestowed it should be this, which, in addition to the sting of poverty, has to endure the depressing influence of bodily suffering, the natural con• committant of disease. I desire now to place before you the a 'mission of an individual belonging to the class I have alluded tn, in a dying condition, forced by an impervious necessity to separate from relations on whose lave reliance could bo placed for support and comfort. In the last moments of life compelled to leave a home endeared by many happy associations, to seek a shelter iu a building against which a natural anti pathy must ever exist —the mind tortured by painful re collections and the contemplation of that from which all eentient beings shrink back with instinctive terror— the termination of existence—suddenly ushered into there fa so cietyr of beings who, in point of ki n dl y feelings, are below the brute—compelled to breathe an atmosphere of moral and physical pollution, and to have their last mo ments disturbed by the obscene jest and blasph emous expres. s i on.

(Sioned) " SAMUEL S "St. Pancras In ' firmary, Oct. 23, 1 355 ." A. long discussion ensued upon the reading of this nre port, in whi c h most of the directors too k and en part, deavoured t o s h ow t h at Mr. Waldegrave h a d exagger ated the evils arising from the present system. The medical officer, how ever , was fi rm , 'and said that no personal consideration would ever induce him to swerve from his duty. He would add to what had been stated in the report that the receiving wards were in a filthy state, swarming with vermin night after night, and that the nurses who had charge of the sick were decripid and incompetent, and in many instances drunkards. It was also elicited that the chi:dren's ward was in a very unsatisfactory state, and upon personal inspection it was found that as many as 100 individuals slept in a species of attic or loft, ill-ventilated, and unwholesome, and that as many as nine children slept in one bed. A committee was appointed to inquire into the alle gations contained in Mr. Waldegrave's report.

Miss Allen jumped off in front, but the running was almost immediately taken up by Fla crow ; Mary, Miss Allen, Robgill, Flatterer, Veteran, Crown Pigeon, Welham, and two or three others form ing the front division, Sultan lying about three lengths behind Flacrow. At the Duke's Stand Dame Judith, Vandyke, and Pole Star were seen in advance of Rob gill, Flatterer, and Crown Pigeon. At this point Sultan, full of running, came up on the higher ground, and whilst his jockey looked round with an air of confidence, and appeared to feel that his chance was now a cer tainty, he gradually drew to the front. Fl acrow , how eviy, e n r t ,maintained the lead to within 50 yards of the chair. Sultan then took the command in gallant style, Mary, Dame Judith, Veteran, and Lady Tatton being his nearest pursuers. Mary made an admirable effort, but was beaten easily by a length, an interval of two lengths s e parating the second and third. Veteran, a head be hincl the third, was fourth. The next lot consisted of Lady Tattoo, Flacrow, Vandyke, Pole Star, Crown Pigeon, Welham, Ellermire, Robgtll, Old Noll, and Miss Allen. Value of the stakes 1,4101.
