SPIRIT of 01.1 PUBLIC JOURNALS. F*o3l TIIE EYZNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. GLOBE.—It becomes increasingly manifest that, in the case of wealthy offenders, the public justice of the country requires to be guarded against evasion by more stringent se curities than are at present provided by the law. We do not object to the discretion vested in magistrates to take bail; al though, in most instances, this discretion operates in favour of the rich, while the poor person is seldom able to obtain the re quired sureties, and is therefore compelled to remain in prison until his trial. That which is requisite to secure the appear ante of the party is, in the great majority of cases, lost sight of by the committing magist rate. The amount of bail which would be deemed heavy, if not oppressive, in the case of a working man, is of trifling imp ort to one of th e higher classes ofsociety. It is, therefore , obvious that for the security of equal justice in the adm inistration of the laws, the amount of the recognisances in which parties are held fur the appearance of a pr;soner at the sessions or assizes, there to answer the charge on which he is committed, should bear a reason able proportion to the nature of the charge and his position in society. Where this rule is not observed, the preliminary proceedings are a delusion. The prosecutor is subjected to much inconvenience and expense in preparing for and at tending the-court, to perform the duty cast upon him; and he is frequently mocked by the escape of the prisoner, through the neglect of the magistrate,who was bound by his office to use due caution that the ends of justice were not frustrated by his means. These observations are not of a mere general cha racter. They originate in, and are designed to apply to, a glaring defeat of justice by the escape of a person charged with a very serious offence, through the facilities afforded by insufficient bail. In November last the daughter of a wealthy medical gentleman at Brentwood was charged with stealing a considerable quantity of silk, the property of Messrs. Taylor, drapers, of that town. The mode in which the robbery was alleged to have been perpe trated was not less artful than flagitious. A mes rage was sent to the tradesmen, directing that a number of rolls of silk, of different colours, shoald be sent to the house of the accused party's father, for inspection. They were sent. The youth by whom they were conveyed was desired to leave them. The whole of the rolls were returned, with an intimation that none of them would suit, and with a request to the trades men that others might be sent. Some circumstances induced a belief that the pieces of silk, when returned, were short of the quantities which left the shop. The precaution was therefore taken of carefully measuring and placing distinctive marks on the pieces which constituted those sent on the se cond occasion. These rolls were also returned, and were immediately examined. A deficiency in several of the lengths was detected. s One of the principals forthwith proceeded to the house, and the object of his visit was stated. The charge was, of course, denied. But, strong in his conviction that the grounds of his accusation were but too valid, he in sisted on passing up stairs to a room whence he heard a noise, which convinced him that it was the scene of bustle and alarm. The embers of what had manifestly been a quantity of silk, recently consumed, were found on the fire and on the hearth. Other strongly corroborative evi dence was adduced, and the accused lady was committed for trial at the sessions. Bail was, however, taken for the ap pearance of the prisoner, and she was released. At the ses sions, the illness of the lady was urged upon the Court as a reason for postponing the trial ; and the recognizances were enlarged, and an arrangement was entered into that the accused party should be tried at the Winter As size. The Winter Assize came in duo course, but not so the accused lady. Some ingenious pretext was urged ; the trial was postponed ; and the recognizances again enlarged. The Spring Assize arrived. The Court was opened " with the usual solemnities." The grand jury were charged, and had retired to their chamber ; and Mr. Straight, the deputy clerk of assize, called upon Helen Mackril Richardson to surrender to take her trial. No answer was, however, returned. A bench warrant was ap plied for by Mr. Ryl mud for the apprehension of the fugitive from justice. This was, however, but capping the climax. An officer proceeded to Brentwood with all imaginable speed. He had, we need hardly say, his labour for his pains. The lady—as was well known to every one but those who ought to have foreseen, and guarded against, such an event—was safely lodged in some distant retreat, where she was not likely to be discovered, and where, if discovered, the warrant of the Court was powerless. We can understand, and readily excuse, the feelings of the respectable parent who has chosen rather to pay the amount of the recogni sauces into which lie and his friend entered for the appear ance in Court of his child. But these private feelings, how- , ever amiable and natural, ought not to be recognised by the magistrate, however much they may he commisserated by the man. It is because of the strength of those feelings, and the ability of the individual to pay for their indulgence, unless guarded against by the amount of the required sureties, that we contend for the propriety of regulating the bail by the position in society of the party in whose behalf it is tenaered. The: object proposed is to secure the production of the prisoner at the trial. That object the magistrate is bound to effect by the means which the law has placed within his discretion. Increased precautions are ales) called for in the case of witnesses. These are " bound over "by the com mitting magistrate to appear and give evidence before the grand jury, and if the bill be found, at the trial of the pri soner. But the amount of recognizances ought to be regu lated by the rank and condition of the accused—the nature of the charge—and the circumstances of the witnesses. Unless these be taken into account, the recognizances, so far as ensuring the ends of justice by a due prosecution of the charge—are not worth a straw. Should getting the principal witness or witnesses out of the way be deemed advisable, and they be of the class who may be acted upon by a bribe, this mode of evading justice is rendered perfectly easy. The accused will then surrender to take his trial, if a bill has been found—quits aware that the witness on whose evidence the case rests has disposed of himself; or, if the imputed crime be felony, and the bill is to be presented to the grand jury at the same sessions or assizes as their trial was appointed to take place, the accused is equally at ease. His wealthy friends have interposed, and the witness or witnesses on whose evidence the charge against him rests, fail to appear. The Court pro nounces it " a very extraordinary proceeding ;" and the ac cused party leaves the hall of justice amid the congratulations of friends. These scenes have become of frequent recurrence, and, whenever they do occur, interfere with the impartial ad ministration of justice. Until the Legislature shall interpose, and by the appointment of a public prosecutor, relieve private individuals from the expense, and preserve public justice from the danger of having its course interrupted by the pre • sent system, let magistrates use the discretion with which they are invested, and apportion the amount of bail for the afire; aihat at) set L iasj-a - nsw s ;vz,lme the offence imputed is bail the principles we have ventured to prescribe; and the evil will be mitigated, if not wholly removed. STANOARD.—Mr. Williams has not much reason to exult in the effect of his attempt to insult the Duke cf Newcastle. his display of last night did not greatly mend his condition. while it gave to the Earl of Lincoln an oppor tunity of performin g ; the difficult task of pronouncing a more handsome and eloquent vindication of himself and of his noble father, than on Thursday— a more com plete vindication was impossible. Mr. Hume, too, came out very honourably last night, and fairly left the Member for Nventry upon his back, explaining that he (Mr. Hume) had dissuaded his friend from making the motion, and had earnestly advised him "to be sure of his facts," of which it appeared, by Mr. Hume's admis sion, that he was anything but sure. We are not much in the habit of recommending the gnomei of Mr. Joseph Hume, but in this case we are happy to press his advice upon Members of Parliament. If Mr. Benjamin D'lsraeli had only anticipated it, he would not be in his present pitiable but, we fear, unpitied plight. True, with orators of a certain class, the care about facts would involve a serious sacrifice. Incapable of commanding attention by learning, character, sense, or real eloquence, they can obtain hearers only by the attraction of startling personalities, founded upon extraordinary facts, but extraordinary facts are commonly no facts at all; they are, for the most part, of that crass of propositions for which we have a short and ugly name. And how are the ignorant, obscure, dull, and mere:}- pert to perform the part of statesmen, if precluded from this resource? The public it may be said, can do without them —this is very well, but can they do without the public? LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, March 8. EXPENSES TO WITNESSES.—In a case which occu pied some time respecting a fiat, a question arose whe ther witnesses summoned to prove an act of bankruptcy were entitled to their expenses. One was an attorney, and at , - other an auctioneer, both residing in town, and both cnimed their expenses for two days' attendance Mr. Commiss;Gner GOTTLIIIIRN was of orinion that the witnesses must be paid, if their testimony was required. The attorney to the fiat strenuous'y urged that they were bound to attend, and to give evideice. The matter was referred to the taxing-master, who was of opinion that the parties were entitled to a guinea a day. They again came into Court, and again the at torney resisted payment as they were town witnesses. He produced a case decided before Lord Tenterden. The attorney procured other witnesses who made out an act of bankruptcy, and he did not require the assist ance of the two persons summoned. He had previously declined to pay them, and stated his intention to appeal to the Court of Review. At the termination of the business, one of the parties, an auctioneer, applied to the Court. He wished to know whether he had no remedy against the person who had summoned him. He had been obliged to postpone a sale he had to-day, and had been put to great inconvenience. Comtnissiomr GOULBURN was of opinion that, as the parties hall not been required to give evidence, they were not entitled to payment. They resided in town, and he was afraid that they had no remedy. If, however, they had been required to give evidence, he should have or dered payment to have been made in the first - instance, but as their testimony had been dispensed with, he had no power to grant the application. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. 110.11 E ClRCUlT.—Chelmsford, March 7. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) ATTACK ON GA MEKEEPLRS.— Thomas Crush, aged 23, and Thomas Bastock, aged 30, were indicted for having, with other persons, some of them armed with guns and other offen sive weapons, unlawfully entered a wood, the property of Lord Nitre, at Montnessing, for the purpose of destroying game. Mr. E. James conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Russell defended the prisoner Crush. It appeared from the statement of the Learned Counsel for Mr-prosecution; and the evidence adduced, that a gentleman nemed Lescher has the right of shooting over the wood in question, and that he employs a keeper, named William Green._ On the night of the 23d of November, Green. and some other men were out watching, and shortly before two o'clock in the morning they heard the report of fire-arms in a wood called Harering-grove, and after listening for some time, the keeper and his assistants, accompanied by a large and very fierce dog, which, it appeared, was a com plete tex7ror to the poachers, proceeded in the direction . whence the report of the fire-arms appeared to proceed. On coming to the wood they saw the prisoners and two other men come out . , and the moment they observed the keepers the prisoner Crush pushed his companions on one side, and, with a vulgar expression, said he would shoot Green, and immediately levelled the gun and fired at him, but fortu nately without doing him any injury. He then made a rush at another keeper, named Gilbr, and made a blow at hi m with the butt end of his gun, but he evaded it, and Crush then ran any. Whil e t hi s was going on the dog had been loosed , and seized Bastock, and held hi m unt i l he was secu red. 'I he other pnsoner was s u b sequently taken izto civtlily, and was identified as having formed one of the party of poachers. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty , and the p r i soner Crush was sentenced to be transported for ten y ears, and the o ther to nine months' imprisonment and hard lab our . A'TEMPT TO M I MDER.—Danzel Baker, aged 39, a n d Charles Cricks, aged 26, were indicted for feloniously assault leg 'and wounding Sarah. Sewell, with intent to murder her. This case came on before-Lard Denman on Thuyeday after rand-wee not concluded - until nearly ten o'clock at night. The offence was of* ver . yaggravated description. It appeared that the prosecutria is in the service of a gentleman named Vila, Who reajdes at Great :Bursae:4 and she had occasion to Appear at tin quarter Pao= at Chilmstal, as a witness against a man named Martin Crick, a brother of the pri soner Charles, who was charged with robbing her master, and the trial ended in his conviction. While she was in waiting near the Shire Hall to be examined, the prisoners abused her very much, and threatened her. About two o'clock on the morning of the 10th of January, which was about a week after the trial at Chelms ford, the prosecutrix, who slept in a back room, was awoke by some one in the yard calling upon her to get up, and when she went to the window to see what was wanted, a voice called out that one of her master's horses were ill, and that the farrier was coming to bleed it, and that she must bring down a piece of string. She went up accordingly, and 1 , went with a piece of string to the back door, which she opened, and held out the string to the parties who were out side, and who turned out to be the prisoners. She was im mediately dragged into the yard, and a most brutal attack was made upon her by the prisoners, who knocked her down, one of them striking her with such force upon the stomach that the blood rushed out of her mouth ; and, whilst she was lying in an almost insensible state, they, with apair of shears, such as used for shearing sheep, cut her hair off close to the head. inflicting, in so doing, a wound upon her neck. They then attempted to drag her to a pond in a field close by, she praying that if they intended to kill her they would do it on the spot. The sound of some one approaching being heard, they threw her down, and, with a brutal expression, said she might die there and be --. Upon assistance arriving, the poor girl was found in a dreadful state, and it appeared from the surgeon's evidence, that for a considerable time it was very doubtful whether she would recover the injuries and fright she had received. The defence attempted to be made for the prisoners was that they were not the parties who had attacked the prose cutor, and some witnesses were called for that purpose, but their evidence was very far from satisfactory. The jury found the prisoners guilty of an aggravated assault. The prisoners were again arraigned this morning, upon a charge of stealing foar fowls, the property of Mr. °lnn, and, upon a verdict of guilty being returned, the Lord Chief Justice, after commenting upon the atrocious character of the offence of which they had been convicted on the previous evening, sentenced the prisoner Baker, for the first offence, to be kept to hard labour for three years, the last fourteen days in the first and second years in solitary confinement; and for the second offence, at the termination of the former sentence, that he should be transported for seven years. The other prisoner was sentenced to eighteen months' hard la bour, seven days in the first year, and at the expiration of the sentence, to be passed in solitary confinement, and that he should then also be transported for seven years. INCENDIARISM.—James Merchant, aged 20, and William Youngs, aged 21, were indicted for feloniously firing a barn, a cart-shed, and other buildings, the property of the execu tors of Edward Lugar, deceased. This case occupied the Court a considerable time, but the facts lie in a very small compass. The chief, and, indeed, the only evidence against the prisoners consisting in decla rations alleged to have been made by them prior to and after the fire. It appeared that the fire in question took place at a farm called Badley Hall, at Ardleigh, in this county, above a year ago, and although at the time some suspicion was entertained of the prisoners, no proceedings were taken against them until recently, when some persons came forward who swore that on the day of the fire the prisoners were in company, and that they were heard to say there should a fire at Badley Hall. After the fire had happened another witness stated that he heard one of the prisoners say to the other, that they had had a - good flare up, and that it would not be found out if they " kept it dark." Some of the witnesses who deposed to these facts were persons of very indifferent character ; but altogether a very strong case was made out against the prisoners. The jury, after deliberating for some time, returned a ver dict of Guilty. The prisoners were sentenced to be transported fur fifteen years. There were two other indictmene for arson against the same prisoners, but they wee.) not proceeded with. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—Oxford, :►larch 7. (Before the Lord Chief Baron.) LETTER STEALING BY A POST-MISTRESS. Ann Gardner, who is a post-mistress at Enstone, in this county, was charged with having opened two letters, and stolen a third, containing two half-sovereigns, all of which were committed to her care. It appeared that several letters had never reached their destination, after having been sent to the post-office at Enstone. In consequence of numerous complaints upon this subject having been made to the authorities at the General Post-offiee, Mr. Ramsey, the superintendent of the missing letter department, prepared what is technically . called "a trap letter," an invention which has been found of great service in detecting the Post•office robberies, of late but too frequent. This letter enclosed a sovereign, which had been previously marked, and, after having been sent through the suspected channel, was examined by the proper authorities, when it was discovered that, although the coin was still there, the seal (of red wax) had been tampered with. A second letter, with another direction, was then sent, containing two marked half sovereigns. This was also found to have beea opened and resealed, but still the money was untouched. A third attempt was then made, which proved successful in detect ing the culprit. Two half-sovereigns, marked, were put into a letter, directed " Thomas Hicks, to be left at the Chequers, Bradford-lane, Exeter, England ; with speed." This was put, as if by accident, into a bundle of letters for Enstone, and it was the duty of the prisoner to have written on it " misesent," and to have returned it to Oxford. No tidings of the letter having been heard, Mr. Ramsey, accompanied by Mr. Forrest, one of the clerks of the Post-office, went, on the 6th of November last, from Oxford to Enstone, when Mr. Ramsey informed the prisoner that he had come to show her the two first letters, which had evidently been opened. She denied all knowledge of the affair, and he then inquired for the letter directed to " Thomas Hicks," which ought to have been returned by her to Oxford. She declared that she had never seen it, and told him he might search the house. This he did, but not finding it, went out for a policeman, leaving Mr. Forrest with the prisoner. While he was absent Mr. Forrest heard her crumpling a piece of paper in her pocket, and immediately afterwards she put something on the fire, and laid a coal upon it. This he instantly snatched off, when it proved to be a post-office envelope, which had been used to inclose the two half-sovereigns in question, both of which were still within it, and were identified by the marks before men - tinned. No traces of the letter itself could, however, be found. The policeman now coming in, the prisoner was given into ..111annent house, a small pocket-knife witli a tier-nooited Made was discovered, having red sealing-wax adhering to the point on each side. From its appearance, there could be no doubt that the blade had been heated, and had, while in that state. come in contact with the wax. That part of the charge which related to the stealing the letter having been abandoned by the Learned Counsel for the Crown, the indictment for the larceny of the money was proceeded upon. The jury. after a few minutes' deliberation, returned a ver dict of Guilty. The prisoner is 64 years of age, and has borne a good cha racter.—Sentence deferred. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-314rch 6, Mr. Justice Wightman was engaged the whole day with the trial of two cases against the sherTff. The question in one case respected the property in certain goods which had been seized under a writ. In the other the dispute was whe ther due diligence had been used in the endeavour to execute it. The cases were of no public interest. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. During the course of Friday, the grand jury came in and presented the last bills, and at the same time they handed up the following presentment:— " Grand Jury-room, Old Bailey, March 7, 1845. "The grand jury, now sitting at this court, beg to present, that it is their opinion the police-officers have uniformly given their evidence in a manner highly satisfactory to the jury, but that the police furce, particularly in that neighbour hood of Bethnal-green, appear to have very much neglected their duty, in allowing beer-shops and public-houses, some of them having concerts and balls, to be kept open at unseason able hours, in several instances as late as two in the morn ing; to which the grand jury attribute many of the crimes brought before them, and cannot therefore separate without calling the attention of the proper authorities to this fertile source of crime and depravity. They farther 13s. to express their extreme regret at seeing AO many juvenile offenders committed for trial to this court, as it is the unanimous opinion of the jury, that in many cases summary convictions would have a more salutary effect upon their future conduct than being associated in prison with more hardened offen ders, by which their education in crime is completed, and the object of punishment, the correction of the offenders, is in most cases defeated, and they are turned loose upon society worse characters than before. " The grand jury cannot too strongly express their opinion that the facility with which pawnbrokers and marine store dealers often purchase suspicious property from persons they do not know (often mere boys and girls), is highly reprehen sible, as afibrding thieves a most ready opportunity of dis posing of their booty, which operates as a direct encou ragement to bad characters. The grand jury further present, that it would be highly desirable if means could be adopted to trace stolen property to the receivers, wise are, in the opinion of the grand jury, in many cases, more criminal than the prisoners, and should also be indicted with the thieves. (Signed) " NV. NEWTON, Foreman." Baron PARKE, in reply, said that, as regarded the latter part of the presentation it was a question for the Legislature ; and that, with respect to the former part, the ntagistratee of Surrey and Middlesex should receive due notice of it. (Before the RECORDER.) ROBBING FROX A DWELLLNG•HOUSE.—AmeIia lifizydew, 18, Selina Edwards, 17, and Susan Paulo, 28, the latter a married female, were placed in the dock, charged with steal ing a tin box. containing eight sovereigns, the property of John Greening, and a box, containing a watch and two seals, the property of Hannah Maydew, mother of the first prisoner, who is also grand-daughter to John Greening. Paulo was defended by Mr. Horri-, Edwards by Mr. Robin son, and Maydew was undefended. It appeared, by the evidence, that Greening's house, in Upper North-street, Lisson -grove, had been entered on the 4th of February, and the property charged in the indictment stolen. The police, discovering that that the grand-daughter (Maydew) and her friend, Edwards, had been spending a quantity of money, in connexion with the prisoner Paulo, went to the house of the latter, No. 5, Park-lane, where a number of dresses, purchased by the two first prisoners, and the boxes, which were stolen from North-street, were found. The watch was also discovered on Maydew, and identified by the old man Greening. From a written statement put in by the prisoner Maydon, and the character given by a number of respectable witnesses to the prisoner Edwards, it appeared that they had both held a respectable character as flower -workers, until last year, when they began frequenting the Yorkshire Stingo saloon, Edwards was seduced, and, being about to become a mother, was turned out of doors by her parents. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all the pri soners. The grandfather, an old man about eighty, who was obliged to be supported, into the witness box, begged, while the tears ran over his cheeks, for mercy for his grandchild. The priwners were then sentenced, Mavdew to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour; Edwards to nine months' imprisonment ; and Paulo to twelve months, with hard labour. Wm. Wsbb was indicted for stealing 195. from the person of Henessy ; and the indictment further charged that the said robbery was attended with vio lence. It appeared that the prosecutor had been spending the evening with ,some f r i en d s , an d was returning home at a late h our , i n th a t s t a t e i n w hi c h part i es often find them selves after spending a pleasant evening, when he was induced to hire the prisoner's cab, in which, however, he had proceeded, but a very short distance before the priso ner drew up, and, taking advantage of his situation, dragged bin out of the vehicle, and picked his pocket of the ab ove sl i m. The prosecutor, however, was suffi ciently aware of what was going on to call for the assis tance of the police, by whom the prisoner was taken into custody. The Jury found the prisouer Guilty. The RECOgDER said that it was necessary to make an example of persons in whom, from the nature of their occupation, the public were compelled to repose a cer tain degree of confidence, and where that confidence was abused, particularly where, in addition to that, gross violence was resorted to, a severe sentence must follow. He then sentenced the prisoner to be transported for ten years. John Douglas IViven pleaded Guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing in a dwellit g-house, and was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. John areen pleaded Guilty to a similar indictment, and received a similar sentence. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) /Flory Ann . Mitchell, aged 18, was indicted for stealing, on the 22d ult., two account books and one handkerehief, value 105. 6d., the property of Thomas Wallis. The prosecutor went into a public-house ; and, whilst drinking some liquour, the prisoner, who was there drinking also, took the books, which were tied in a handkerchief, and went away. The prosecutor pursued her; and, on coming up with her, caught her by the throat, and gave her into custody. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the Common Sergeant sentenecd her to two months' imprisonment. Wm. Williams was acquitted on the charge of stealing several pieces of ccpper from the factory of Messrs. Mad dox and Co., East Hackney. Win. Alexander was f Quid Guilty of entering the pas sage of a house in Middleton-square, and stealing there from two hats and two umbrellas, the property of Mr. Sinclair.—Sentence, transportation for seven years. Daniel Sinclair was charged with stealing one loaf, value 3d., but the indictment failing he was discharged. Robot Huggins Smith, an elderly seaman, was indicted for obtaining, by false pretences, of John Allan, St. Paul's churchyard, three sovereigns, with intent to cheat him of the same. The prisoner represented himself to Mr. John Allan as a particular friend of his brotheY's, residing in Rotterdam, who, however, denied ail know ledge of him. Mr. BALLANTYNE took several objections to the in dictment, which were overruled by the Court, and .the jury finding the prisoner Guilty, he was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. John and Margaret Murphy, aged 20 and 49, were indicted, the former for stealing a hundred yards of printed cotton, value 50s„ the property of Jonathan Crocker, his master ; and Margaret (who is his mother) with feloniously receiving the same, knowing it to be stolen. It appeared that the male prisoner was formerly in the employ of Messrs. Crocker and Co., of Friday street, Cheapside, as light porter; and on the 27th of December last the property mentioned above was missed. and suspicion falling upon the prisoner, he was taken into custody by Daniel Forester, on the 10th of January. Two duplicates were found on his person, and it was proved that the prisoners were the parties wins pledged the articles. The jury found the prisoners Guilty, and they were sentenced to seven years' transportation. Henry Whitten was convicted of stealing a shoe, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. Before sentence was passed the prisoner's mother, who happened to be in court, hoped his lordship would be merciful.—The Com mon Sergeant said the blame principally rested on her for not bringing him up better.—On being removed from the Court (as ordered by the Common Sergeant) she ex claimed, in a pitiful tone, " Oh, my poor dear boy—good Lye !" " Good bye, mother I" returned the prisoner in a tone which set the Court in a roar of laughter. arcis Sheargold, aged 43, pleaded - guilty to the charge of embezzling and stealing the sum of 3/. 15s. and 5/. is., of William Taylor, his master.—Judgment ar rested until next session. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) WORSHIP-STREET. Mary Pritchard, alias Flaxman, 'a decent-looking. omen, who is employed with several others at the Ex cise-office in book sewing, at 14s. per week wages, was brought up for final examination upon a charge of having feloniously intermarried with Henry Flaxman, a gas worker, her former husband, a rough-looking seaman, who informed the magistrate that he had been "twenty eight years before the mast," being still living. The prisoner was married thirteen years ago at Shore di'ck Church to Pritchard, the sailor, and three children were born at intervals between his voyages. For nearly five years past the sailor bus been entirely absent, hav ing, according to his own account, been voyages in the mean time to Calcutta, New Zealand, and other parts of the world. Upon his return home lately, however, he 'sought for his wife, and found her living at Haggerstone with Henry Flaxman. The latter asserted that she was his wife, " lawfully" married to him. " Well," said the sailor, "if that is the case, she belongs to a pair of us ;" and having ascertained, by inquiry, that the second marriage had actually taken place, he returned and gave the prisoner in charge to a police constable. The registers of the two marriages were prodnced. Flaxman, the second husband, proved very reluctantly that, about a year and a half ago, he married the pri soner at Hoxton, believing her to be a widow, as she re presented herself. She had been an excellent wife, he said, and they had an infant now at the breast. A female witness also proved this marriage, but there were no witnesses to prove the prisoner's identity in the first. The prisoner admitted her marriage with the sailor Pritchard, and that she had three children by him ; but she declared that, for many years, he had exceedingly ill-used her, and that she had never received anything from him, either for herself or the children. Five years ago, she said, he -used her so badly, that two warrants were issued against him from this court, but he then went away, and she had never seen him since, until ho now came and gave her into custody. Mr. Broughton told her that, if she had not married would not be punished for bigamy ; but not more than, two years elapsed when she contracted the second mar riage. Her man atAinowledgment of the first marriage now taken in writing, was sufficient, with the other proofs, and he now committe 1 her to take her trial for the bigamy, admitting her to bail, however, in two sure ties of 401. each. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. John Stock, cab driver, was brought up for final exa mination, charged with having been concerned with an other man, not in custody, in an attempt to rob and murder Mr. Charles Green, of No. 40, Berwick-street. The prosecutor, who is a tall stout man of gentle manly appearance, had a large wound just above the temple. On being sworn, he said I am a merchant's clerk. Last Friday week I had been drinking freely, and on my return homewards,about half-past ten o'clock. I went into a public-house in Great Russell-street and called for a glass of gin and water. While I was at the bar, a man carne up to me and asked m^ if I wanted a cab. I told him I did not, but he continued to intrude his conversation on me. I drank part of the gin and water, and thinking it would be the means of getting rid of the man, I left the rest of the gin and water for him to drink. I then left the house, but the man followed me, and I walked on into Tottenham-court-road and went into the Blue Posts public-house and called for an other glass of gin and water. The man followed me into the house, and wanted me to treat him. I yielded to his im portunity, and did treat him to some gin and water. To the best of my knowledge I left the public-house shortly afterwards, and the prisoner continued to follow me and to urge me to take a cab. The man was then joined by a second person, - but I cannot say positively that the prisoner is that man. To get rid of the man I crossed over and went down Crown-street, intending to go by way of Sutton-street, but, owing to the drink I had taken, I suppose J mistook the turning, and went down George yard. I have, however, no distinct recollection of the cause of my going down George-yard. but I distinctly re collect that when in George-yard I received a violent blow on the head, which deprived me of my senses. When I regained my recollection I was in Dr. Kenny's surgery having my wound dressed. The blow had diz vided the temporal artery, and I lost a quantity of blood. I cannot swear that the prisoner at the bar is one of the men who followed me about. On the follow ing morning, while I was in bed at my lodgings, the pollee brought the prisoner to my bed-side, and while I was examining his features attentively, the prisoner said, "I did not strike the blow." I then replied, " You vaga bond, you arc one of the men." It was; not from any recollection of the prison that I said this, but it was be cause he made a remark which induced me to believe he knew all about the occurrence. Thomas Spriggs, potboy at the Blue Posts, Totten ham court-road, said, about half-past eleven o'clock, the prosecutor and a cabman were drinking at the bar. The cabman had been out driving for the prisoner, who was sitting in the tap-room. The prisoner, after some time, went to the bar, and asked the other man for the money he had earned. The other man told him to have some some gin and water with them, and the pri soner drank with the gentleman and the other man. About five minutes past twelve, witness opened the door, and let the gentleman and the other man out. About ten minutes after this witness let in two persons, and he then saw the gentleman and the other man talk ing together on the opposite side of the way. In a few minutes witness let out the prisoner and the other two persons. Witness looked out, but he did not see either the gentleman or the man who went out with him. The man who went out with the gentleman was known by the nickname of Jemmy Green. James Clsrk, C 55, said, that about half-past twelve on Friday week, as he was going up Crown-street, he saw a cab standing in the street and a rams on the box. The man on the box called out, " Here—here comes a Bobby." The prisoner immediately ran out of George ) and with a whip in his hand, jumped on the box, took the reins from the other man, turned round the cab, and drove furiously away. Witness pursued, and succeeded in stopping the cab. He then asked the man what was the matter ? The prisoner replied, noth4Atoll. Wit ness asked why he drove off at such a rapid rate 7 but the prisoner made no answer ; and witness, after taking the number of the cab, and the number of the prisoner's badge, which was beneath his cost, told him he might go on. The prisoner replied, " You —, and you may g:), t oo ." Wi tness returned to George-yard, and, on looking about, he saw a gentleman (the prosecutor) lying on his side without his hat, bleeding profusely from a wound on his temple and insensible. Witness took the prosecutor to Dr. Kenny's surgery, in High-street, and had the wound dressed. The prosecutor did not ree,)ver his consciousness for some time. Witness took him to his lodgings and there left him. Police-sergeant Wells, C 1, said after he had received intimation from the last witness of what had occurred, he set about finding the prisoner. He discovered him at last in bed in a house, No. 3, Petty-place, Hanway-strect. He stilted the prisoner his name, and the prisoner gave it rea He asked him if he was in Crown -street the overnight with his cab. The prisoner said he was. lie had followed a gentleman to know what time he - would call for him the next morning, to take him out of town, but he had , missed the gentleman. Witness; took the prisoner to . Mr. .Green's lodgings. The prisoner said to Mr. Green, " I didn't strike the blow." Mr. Green answered, "Yon aro tto vagabond," Xho pri- Boner admitted that there was another man with him, and that this man's name was Darby. In defence, the prisoner proceeded to give a circum stantial detail of the affair. Mr. IlAnDwrck said the prisoner stood fully com mitted, but he should have him brought up again in a fortnight, to give "time to the police to look after the other man. THE HAMPSTEAD MURDER. DISCOVERY OF THE WEAPON WITH WHICH THE DE.. CEASED wAs KILLED.—By the extraordinary exertions of the police, the stick, of which some mention has been already made as having been usually carried by the prisoner, Thomas locker, has been at length discovered, and in a most remark able manner. It will be recollected that on the post mortem examination of the body the surgeon gave it as his opinion that the wounds upon the head of the deceased had been pro duced by some blunt and not very heavy instrument. A shoe-maker's pincers found in the prisoner's room was at first supposed to be the weapon, but the surgeon thought it a most unlikely one. He thought a stick more probable. In quiry was accordingly directed to the habits of the accused, and it was ascertained from the evidence of his father and brother that, up to about three weeks before the date of Mr. Delarue's murder, he had usually carried a large and rather heavy yellow walking-stick, which he said he had left behind him at the house of some friend. The police, however, thought it by far more likely that it had been secreted in some convenient spot until its services might be required, and accordingly every hedge and trench, and place, about the neighbourhood of the fatal spot has been examined, but to no purpose. On Thursday evening. however, In spector Shackell, of the detective police, received an intima tion that a young man in the employment of Mr. Rudd, a poulterer in the New-road. had found a large yellow walking-stick, covered with blood, secreted in the herbage at the side - of one of the bridges in the Regent's Park. In- Spector Shackell went instantly to the person indicated, and at once received the stick and the particulars of its die covery. Strange as it may appear, as an instance of apathy in forwarding % the pursuit of justice, this young msn had actually found the bloody instrument on the morning of the Saturday following the perpetration of the murder, and although the entire public of the three kingdoms have been ever since aware of the importance of such a fact being made known, he haesuffered himself (it is said) to be dissuaded by his father From coming forward or giving any information. The information received by the inspec tor proved. to be in all respects unusually correct. The stick had been thrust into the rank herbage or underwood close by the bridge in the Regent's -park, not far from Prim rose-hill. Inspector Shackell lost.no time in waiting on the father and brother of the accused, to whom he showed the stick, which they at once identified as the one usually carried by Thomas locker, and the same of which he spoke when he asserted that he had left it at the house of a friend. The in spector then waited on Mr. Rawlinson, the magistrate, at Marylebone Police- court, to whom he privately communi cated his important discovery, as it cannot come before the public In the ordinary course of proceeding until Tuesday next, when the prisoner will be brought up for further ex amination, and most probably be finally committed. With regard to the reports in circulation that there are other persons suspected of having been accomplices of Rocker in the foal transaction, there is not the slightest foundation for them. The police are solely endeavouring to complete the chain of evidence against him, and they have no suspi cion that he had any accomplice. (From a Sunday Paper.) THE PRISONER'S INTRODUCTION TO MISS PHILPS. Notwithstanding all that has been written respecting this affair, the circumstances connected with it have only yet been very imperfectly brought before the public. We have learned the following additional particulars, the accuracy of which may be relied on :—Mrs. Edwards, the lady with whom Miss Sarah Philps, the young lady to whom the prisoner was paying his addresses, is re siding, had been in business in the county of Norfolk, as a dressmaker, but came to reside in London four years ago. Miss Philps is a native of Cromer, in the same county, and having become acquainted with Mrs. Ed wards when there, the latter having no children of her own, adopted her as her daughter. Miss Philps has been under the guardianship of Mrs. Edwards, who is a most respectable woman, for nearly . four years. The length of the intimacy which has subsisted between Miss Philps and the prisoner Hocker has already been stated to be ten weeks, but the circumstances under which their acquaintance was formed have not yet transpired. We are enabled to state that the first occasion on which the prisoner spoke to the young lady was about twelve weeks ago, when meeting her one day in St. Martin's-lane, he ac costed her with, " I beg your pardon, Miss, but is not your name —?" She replied it was not, on which he again begged her pardon. Miss Philps proceeded on her way as if nothing had happened, taking no notice of the prisoner, , but he followed her, and again coming up to her, inquired whither she was going. To this she made no reply, but went on her way without taking the least notice of the prisoner. He again made some ob servation, of which she took no notice, on which he with drew, and she did not see him again for nearly three weeks. One day, about that time, he had seen her in the New road, and advancing to her, made some com mon-place remark expressive of affection, but she know ing nothing of him, passed on without taking any notice,- of him. He, however, followed her to No. 6, Bath-place, and as she was opening the gate repeated the expression of his attachm. nt to her, and begged permission to ac company her into the house. She resented the proposal, when he exclaimed, " By heavens, Miss, I will see you at home 1" She, considerably alarmed, entered the house, hut said nothing to Mrs. Edwards, her guardian, about what had passed. In an hour afterwards the prisoner called at the house, and on the servant-maid opening the door, she inquired who he wanted. " The young lady," he replied, " who lives here," not at the time know ing her name. " Oh, Miss Philps," you mean." observed the maid. " Aye, Miss Philps," he responded, de lighted at learning her name. " Will you give her my (lard, if you please," he said, handing his card to the servant-girl, wish the name " Mr. Thomas Henry ' Hooker, engraved upon it. Not knowing the name of z..

Mrs. Edwards, as might be ex pected, was quite confounded at this. On recovering her presence of mind, she said to him, " This, sir, is very strange conduct on the part of one of whom neither Miss Philps nor I, who am her guardian ' know anything, and even of whose name we have nev er heard before." " You may rely on it, Madam," remarked Hocker, " that I am a person of respectability, and that my intentions are most honourable. M parents reside at 17, Charles street, Portland-town." Stran ge as were the circum stances under which the prisoner introduced himself, there was something so manifestly sincere in his manner, and so much of gentlemanly bearing about him, that Mrs. Edwards eventually called down Miss Philps. She at first met his protestations of love with repulses, but before she had been a quarter of an hour in his com pany, she began to feel in some measure influ need by his cbaoltlhing Mrs. again on the following day, Mr s . eeceedingly winning manner. Th e i n t erv i ew en d e d i n Edwards's and Miss Philps's his consentobt a obtaining i g is Edwards in the interval taking the precaution to ascer tain that his parents did reside at the address he had given. On the following day, at -the hour appoinfed, Hacker called at 6, Bath-place. He had not been many minutes in the young lady's company when he proposed mar riage, adding, that he had repeateily seen her in the Streets, and always wished to speak to her, thoegh he had never summoned up the requisite courage to do so, until the afternoon on which he had met with her in St. Martin's-lane. He said that, from the first time he saw her, she made a deep impression on his mind, which, so far from passing away, had ever since been daily growing. To the proposal of marriage Miss Philps paid no attention when made on this occasion, but having obtained permission to renew his visits, the prisoner again and again repeated it, until at last he obtained the promise of the young lady to give him her hand. Matters went on very smoothly for several weeks, he all the while representing himself as a clerk in the Stock Ex change, at a salary of 100/. a year, and as possessing besides an annuity of 751. left him by an uncle. For some reason or other he then appeared as if he wished to draw back, and for that purpose told the young lady that his father was opposed to the marriage, and that he being unfriendly it could not take place for at least 12 months. This was followed by a letter to Mrs. Edwards, pur porting to be written by the prisoner's father, in which the prisoner is represented as a young man of excep tionable character, and of ungovernable temper. This letter will be found referred to in the letter of Mrs. Edwards, addressed to the prisoner, and which will be given below. Th e l e tt er , it was afterwards discovered, had been written by the prisoner himself, in a disguised hand, and with the father's name affixed to it. For two weeks afterwards, nothing was seen or heard of the pri soner by Mrs. Edwards or Miss Philps. At the end of that time, however, he wrote to Mrs. Edwards, saying that his father had at last consented to his marrying Miss Philps. This letter will be found among the sub joined letters. He renewed his visits to Bath-place ; but Mrs. Edwards, who never looked with a very favour able eye upon him, again discovered, or fancied she saw, something in him which she did not at elflike. She therefore embraced the first opportunity of asking him, in the most explicit terms, what were "his intentions regarding Sarah ;" adding, that if not honourable, he had better withdraw altogether. A reference to this conversation will be flaund in one of the prisoner's letters to Mrs. Edwards. / ' Matters were again amicably arranged, and everything seemed to proceed in the most auspicious manner. He proposed that the time of his marriage with Miss Philps should be in the course of the prevent month. We have brought the narrative of the circumstances connected with this strange, eventful history, down to within three weeks of the murder at Hampstead. About this time, when Hooker and the young lady (who, it should be here remarked, is a very modest, interesting, and bandsnme girl) were together, he mentioned to her that he had lately been at Sheffield, and that, when glare he had purchased a handsome ring with a bril liant in it. She asked him why he did not wear it; his answer was, that though he had bought this ring he was not very fond of jewellery. This, it will be observed, was about three weeks before the murder was committed. Consequently, on tbe . assumption that he committed the dreadful, deed, he must have meditated it three weeks before he Carried his purpose into execution. the prisoner and she never OW any It ought here to be men ti one d that, notwith s t andin g the frequency of the int erv i ews which the young lady h a d together, appear anco of his being possessed of money—not even o f silver or copper.

The sister-44-law o f m ra . r e a wor d, s ,beisig hoppOiek."Ter to Sir Oswald Moseley, who resides in Portland-place, Miss Philps was in the habit of visiting, the relative of her adopted mother at Sir Oswald's house, and. Hooker very frequently called upon her there. Miss Philps called on Sir Oswald Moseley's housekeeper at Port land-place about half-past eight on the night of the murder, and her first inquiry was whether Hocker had been there that evening ? The housekeeper replied that he had . not. " Well," remarked Miss Philps, " though I had no appointment with him to-night, I did somehow or other think he would call." " Oh, it's too late fur him, my child," observed the other. "It is later than his usual time," replied Miss Philps, " but still I think he will come." About ten minutes past nine his knock was heard at the door. He entered, and re mained for about an hour and a half. " Sarah," said he, after having shaken hands, and asked her and the house keeper how they did. " Sarah, this is the brilliant ring I told you three weeks ago I had bought at Sheffield." And as he made the remark he handed ber a ring. " Why don't you put it OR and wear it ?" she in quired. " Because," said he, " it's too large," and he put it on his finger to show her that it was so. " I have also," he observed, " bought this watch," showing her the watch referred to so often in the examination at the Coroner's inquest and at the Marylebone Police-office. After this they entered into general conversation; and the young lady observing that he had some spots of blood on the front of his shirt, asked him how it hap pened they were there? " Oh," said he, "the governor and 1 have been having a piece of fun together, and he accidentally made my nose bleed." Struck with the circumstance of his looking unusually cheerful that night, she made an observation to that effect. "Yes," he replied, "I don't know how it is, but I never felt so happy in my life before. My mind, thank God, is more at ease to-night than it has been for a long time past." This, singular as it may seem, wai said with a peculiar emphasis, and was again repeated in the course of the evening's interview. Miss Philps remarked to her friend, after Rocker had parted with her, that she never before saw him so full of fun and spirits, and at the same time expressed her inability to account for the circum stance. Her friend had also been struck with his unusual cheerfulness and hilarity, coupled with the fact of his re peating several times, with a marked emphasis, that he never in all his life felt so happy as he did that evening: On one occasion, while mentioning how comfortable he felt, he added, " I thank Heaven, Sarah, that I have nothing resting on my mind to make me unhappy." The subsequent history of this unfortunate young man is well known. The circumstance under which suspicion fell en him and his consequent appreh3nsion have al ready been detailed in our paper. In the discovery of the leading facts, which will be brought forward at the trial of the prisoner, the greatest credit is due to Mr. Shackell, the intelligent and enterprising officer of the detective police. We here subjoin the letters referred to in a previous part of this article. The first is from the prisoner to Mrs. Edwards, in answer to a letter of hers addressed to him : " 11, Victoria-terrace, St. John's Wood. " My dear Afadam,—l hardly know how to address you, after reading your truly sincere and kind letter, which now lies before me. I shall never forgive myself for delivering my feelings to you in such an ambiguous and unintelligible manner, as it is evident I must have done, for you so to have misunderstood me. I will re spectfully ask you one question. After my return to your sitting-room, did I behave as though I thought tha !was my last visit to you ? I joked and laughed heartily ; but, Go :1 knows, I should have joined you with a heavier heart, had I known you had so mistaken me. I well remember how earnestly you asked me if it were my intention to withdraw ; but I cannot call to mind that you added altogether' to the question. If I had heard you do this, my affection for Sarah would imme diately have undeceived you. But I feel confident you now see what I meant, therefore I will say no more on this head. Why did you allude to your circumstances ? It was unkind of you. You did not intend it ; but it made me fear you had formed an opinion somewhat un worthy of me—that you thought I had suffered the con sideration of your pecuniary affairs of induce me to leave Sarah. Never, Madam, never harbour such an idea again. It wounded me more than you imagine. " There is o e part of your letter which confused me. You say, Deal openly with me in respect to this dear child, as to what your intentions positively are, or else withdraw yourself in an honourable manner.' If my letters and general conduct have failed to be straightfor ward hitherto, candidly I assure you that I know not how to proceed differently. Can you not gather from my last what my intentions really are? When I lately had the favour of a retired interview with you, I told you, as honourably as I could, that I thought it better to discontinue my attentions to Sarah, until my father should encourage me to renew it. Was it my affection or my sense of 'propriety, which then prompted me to make such an offer? My father's kindness gives me every hope, for he has told me when he will take an ac tive part in my arrangements with you. I mentioned this in the latter part of the above noticed letter. I can not see why you should experience that ' uncertain per plexity' of which you speak, and which renders you so uncomfortable. I consider that you have done your duty; and, whether you agree with me or not, I am satisfied that I have done mine. What remains to be done, time will effect. If' it be your wish that Sarah should not wait my father's pleasure, or, in other words, that she should set her affection on some one else, ac quaint her with it, and do not hide. it from me. But if (which I trust is the case) you be disposed to make yourself more easy, and to encourage me to hope, and Sarah to have more confidence than suspicion, the time is not far distant when we may all of ui be happy yet. Do not mistake my p'ainness of speech for want of re spect, but believe me ever your indebted and faithful servant, " T. H. HOCKER." ThA following letter is one of those which the prisoner wrote to Mrs. Edwards, when he appeared as if desirous of breaking off the intimacy with Miss Philps, and when he asigned his, father's disapproval of the match as the reason : "Victoris Terrace, St. John's Wood. "My dear Madam,—l cannot deceive you. I have written twice to my father ; the inclosed i$ his answer. I will not bias your mind by making any defence. I promised .Sarah she should real my father's letter. what ever it contait:ed. I regret that it does not realise my hopes. I thought to be happy, but am once more far from being so. I wanted to say much more to you, but I find lam not able. Do write me one line at your earliest convenience, and believe me, my dear madam, your ever indebted and obedient servant, " Friday night. " T. H. HOCKER. "Mrs. 'Edwards, 6, Bath-place, New-road." Contemporaneously with this, Mrs. Edwards received a letter purporting to be from the prisoner's father, but which is now known to have been written by the pri soner himself, in a disguised hand. In this letter, the father is made to represent the son as a profligate young man, and one who had resigned himself to the dominion of an " ungovernable temper." The object was to make Mrs. Edwards and the young lady acquiesce the more readily in his withdraing from his engagement to marry the latter. Little imagining that the letter had been written by the prisoner himself, Mrs. Edwards enclosed it to him in the following letter. Though there is no date to it, we happen to know that it was written on the 26th of January of the present year : " 6, Bath-place, Saturday. "My dear Sir,—l enclose your father's letter, which I confess is anything but flattering. I would not for the world Sarah should marry a young man whose temper is ungovernable. She is herself all gentleness, and any harsh or unkind treatment would break her heart. That I exonerate you from any mercenary views is only just ; but do you think your reformation is completed ? Will there be no kr kslidings ? and in giving a young crea ture to your care, will you shield her and guard her as a man of honour ? Again, I repeat, never myself would I enter any family without the approbation of the gentle man's friends. I will, if you approve it, after seeing you on Tuesday, visit your mother, perhaps I may there see your father, but I hold the paternal authority so sacred, that I should feel sorry were you to act in opposition to your father's wishes ; you must either be incorrigible, or else Mr. Hooker must be such a parent as never for one moment entered into my imagination. Most fervently hoping your reformation, and for your own peace of mind, learn the important discovery that temper is everything, are the sincere wishes of yours, very truly, "ELEANOR EDWARDS." After this a reconciliation took place between the pri goner and Mrs. Edwards and Miss Philps. He renewed his visits and his correspondence, assigning as a reason that he had now obtained his father's consent to the marriage. The following letter to Mrs. Edwards bears on this incident in the curious courtship " 11, Victoria-terrace, St. John's-wood. "My dear Madam—l want to know how you and Mr. Edwards are t • and can you not guess the rest ? As for me, I feel myself growing fatter' every day already. My father sent for me a few days ago; I have seen him, and all is right and comfortable. This is glorious news to any one who loves to hear of peace and harmony reigning in the family circle but to you, madam, it is doubly so, I know. Tell Sarah how glad I shall be as soon as this mental Lent—this season of self-denial is over with me. My father is kinder to me every time I see him. We smoke our pipes in concert. On Monday evening last I was reciting something to him in my usual rough way, when he abruptly stopped me, and with his hand laid gently on my shoulder, said, My boy, irdoes our hearts good to hear you talk once more —fill up the glass again, my girl,' turning to my mother. You cannot think how this struck home to me. I thought of you both and our dear Sarah, and felt persuaded that it needed but a word from my father to you to restore me to my former position in your esteem and good opinion, and to make me a more desirable and worthy object of affection in Sarah's estimation. My father has mildly upbraided me for forming any attachment at such an unfortunate period, and has kindly promised to second my views as soon as by steadiness and care I shall have proved a disinclination to my old habits of thoughtlessness and indiscretion. By keeping Sarah continually before me I am sure of being able to accomplish my duty. And, oh ! my dear Madam, when I shall see you again at your house, will you not unite your best and warmest wishes to mine that Sarah's peace of mind may never, on any occasion, be disturbed at the remembrance of our first meeting. Pardon my freedom with you, and believe me, with the deepest anxiety about your health and Mr. Edwards', my dear Madam, your ever indebted and faithful servant, " T. H. HOCKER. " Mrs. Edwards, 6, Bath-place, New-road, Feb. 6, 1845." There is now no longer a doubt that the prisoner is the only party ct_ncerned in the murder. Alone he did it. Not the slightest suspicion attaches to any one else. Sir Oswald Moseley has, we understand, discharged his housekeeper (sister-in-law of Mrs. Edwards), though she has filled that situation for about twenty years. MEMOIR OF THOMAS HENRY HOCKER. The following particulars respecting Thomas Henry 'locker, who stands charged with the wilful murder of the late Mr. Delarue, at Hampstead, have not before been published. Thomas Henry Hecker was born in the month of May, 1823, and will consequently be twenty-two years of age, in May next. He received his education in the school bel,:nging to Christ Church, situated in Richmond street, Edgware-road, and being a sl arp forward boy, was much noticed as an apt and ready scholar, and in extreme youth was remarkable for his well-knit and muscular frame, which gave him great strength. He subsequently went to Sheffield, where, through the kind interference of a friend, he succeeded in procuring a situation in one of the schools in that town ; and while residing there, paid his addresses to an amiable you - g lady of the name of Batty, with whom he has since boasted, he used to ride about in her parent's carriage, and whose letters to locker are now in the hands of the police, having been found in hs lodgings at the time of his apprehension. In fact, it is be lieved, that he has been corresponding with Miss Batty up to the time of the murder, notwithstanding that he was at the same time paying his addresses to Mies Sarah Jane Philps, the young lady examined at the inquest. While at Sheffield Hocker led a very gay life, and his continual demands for money on his father caused his parent to apply for arlyances from loan societies, which has since occasioned him comiderahle embarrassment. About two years since hooker was obliged to leave. Sheffield, and having no other resource returned to his father, who then resided at No. 5, Charles-street, Portland Town, from which time he has led an idle and dissolute life, not untainted by crime, his principal occupation having been the deluding of females, and the meeting of the deceased Delarue in the fields, for, it is believed, the worst of purposes. His father having supported him for several months, and being much straitened in circumstances, fre quently remonstrated with him on his extreme idleness, as he often continued in bed until the of the day. These quarrels at len.th grew high, and on one occasion Thomas locker made an attack on his father with such brutality that Mr. Hooker had two severe black eyes, and was s- bruised all over that he was un able to leave the house during a whole fortnight, After that occurrence, through the intervention of friends, matters went on more smoothly between him and his father, and since Mr. Hocker removed to his present re sidence, about fifteen months since, the prisoner has been known to render some slightassistancein the ladies' shoemaking business. There was,. however, still a great difficulty in getting him out of bed in the morning. so much so that another serious quarrel arose between him and his father on the Ist of August last, when he slept for three nights in the fields near to the very spot where the murder of Mr. Delarue was perpetrated. On the following night the landlord of the house in which the father resides went with James Rocker, the brother, to that dreary spot, for the purpose of offering him a bed; but he evaded their search, and, after tra versing the dark Bellsize-lane without finding him, on their return they met two policemen, whom they told of the circumstance, giving them a descrip tion of Thomas Hooker's person; and requesting them, should they see him going towards the spot to sleep, to tell him to come to 17, Charles-street, as the landlord wished to see him. They did see him, and he did go to his father's residence ; but when the. above offer was made to him, he spurned it with contempt. About that time it was that Mr. Delarue was robbed in the Regent's park, by, it is said, a female and two, men, the former first accosting him, and the latter holding him while the robbery was committed ; and it is believed that the watch, the duplicate of which was found at the lodgings of Thomas Hocker, is the identical watch of which Mr. Delarue was on that occasion robbed. About the same time Thomas locker was seen to be in the possession of several sovereigns, which he alleged Mr. Delarue had presented to him. The next evening Mr. locker's landlord met Thomas Hooker at Primrose-hill, when the latter consented to accompany him to the house of Mrs. Carter, No. 19, Charles-street, where he remained three weeks. At the expiration of that time, his mother took for him an empty room at No. 4, Charles -street, St. John's Wood- terrace, where he remained, going home daily to his meals, until his removal to No. 11, Victoria terrace, where he was apprehended. There is not a shadow of doubt that the alleged murderer, during his intimacy with Mr. Delarue, had received from his victim the sum of nearly 1501., the whole of which he had squandered in vice and debauchery, and tint he was well aware that a stop was about to be put to his career, and that his victim would no longer submit to his importunate demands. There is no doubt that he had deliberately made up his mind to enforce those demands at every risk, even of sacrificing life, in proof of which there may he adduced the fact of his having told the story three weeks before of having lost the thick and mas , ive stick which he brought with him from Sheffield, and which has ju , t been _found ; and that most probably,on Mr. D e l arue re f us i ng him more money, he instan:ly felled him to the ground with the stick in ques tion, following up his blows with kicks until he had de prived his victim of life. Much has been s; id in the daily papers respecting suspicions as to other persons having been concerned in the perpetration of the murder. We can confidently state that no such suspicions have ever been entertained by the police authorities. [ADVERTISEMENT.] lIYGEIAN MANIFESTO. All medical advice is quackery, because there is in fact but one disease, impurity of the blood, and there fore but one reose-ly :—viz., Proper Vegetable Purgation. Remember that it is only because doctors, in order to make a trade of the science of medicine, use poisons * and anti medicinal preparations as medi cines for the cure of diseases, that " advice," as it is called, becomes necessary ; but if y( .0 do away with poisons or anti-medicinal preparations, and only take that which is proper and good, and which acts in ac cordance with the laws of nature, then all advice be comes unnecessary. This is the reason that all true hygeists are their own doctors, and laugh at what doctors term " advice." 'Whenever they feel pain of any kind they have recourse to the Vegetable Universal Me dicine (Morison's Pills) which they can regulate without fear, so as to produce proper evacuations, com mencing with four or five pills, and increasing if ne cessary; hence the fact of staunch hygeists in some cases taking twenty, thirty, and even forty pills at a dose, thereby proving the universality of the medicine, as in the case of Lady Sophia Grey, for disease of the spine; Sir Richard Sutton's son, for consumption ; living monuments to attest the fact, and thousands of others. But with the poisons of the doctors, such as prussic acil, opium, arsenic, deadly night-shade, &c., &c., if you take a grain or so too much, death is the consequence ; and therefore, to those persons who are, from a state cf ignorance, obliged by doctors' treatment to make use of such poisons, " advice" of course becomes necessary. It is by giving advice that doctors make a trade of medi cine; and hence their violent anl unjust opposition to Mr. Morison's system, because it does away with all mystery, and enables every man to become his own doctor. The fact of scarcely two doctors agreeing in any case as to the treatment to be pursued, is also a proofthat medical advice is quackery; one is for bleeding, the other against it, and so on. The case of Baker v. Lowe proves this assertion to be true; there were 437 visits made and charged for at 7s. 6d. each, and three eminent doctors were of one opinion and three of the other, the poor patient lost his leg after all, as they say, for the good of science! ! Heaven save the mark ! This should never be forgotten by the public. Ilygeists, therefore, for the reasons before-men tioned, most solemnly protest against the use of poi sons as medicines, or their being held out to the world as such. The following deadly poisons are most commonly used by doctors—there are many more, too numerous to mention, for the names of which we refer the reader to the " London Pharmacopceia" and Medical Dictionaries. I.—Prussic Acid, in all its forms. 2.—Mercury, ditto. 3.—Opium, ditto. 4.—Arscnic, in all its forms. s.—Digitalis or Fox-glove, ditto. 6, Antimony, ditto. And though last, not least, the practice of bleeding in all its forms. Issued by Morison and Moat, of the British College of Health, New-road, London, for, and on behalf of the body of Hygeists, who contend, that, since all diseases arise from one cause, namely, an im purity of the blood, they can be cured by the Vegetable Universal Medicine, which being com posed of innocuous ingredients, may be taken by any person without the advice of a doctor. * Doctors hold out poisons as medicines ! I in order that people may come to them to know how, and in what quantity, they are to be taken. The use of spirituous liquors is prescribed " (heaven save the the mark) by doctors, upon the same principle as the other poisons. If simples, or strictly medicinal substances only were used, persons might cure them selves, which doctors want to prevent. It is thus that doctors, to their shame be it said, make a t:ade of me dicines. FUNERAL OF SIR JOHN GURNEY.—The interment of the remains of the late Sir John Gurney took place on Fri day. The funeral cortege assembled at the residence of the deceased Judge, in Lincoln's Inn-fields, at two o'clock, and consisted of a hearse and four, and five mourning coaches, the latter of which contained the following gentlemen :—Russell Gurney, Esq., Sidney Gurney, Esq., the Rev. H. Gurney, Joseph Gurney, Esq., and Thomas and Henry Gurney, Esqs., chief mourners ; the Rev. Mr. Tyler, the Rev. George Lea, Thomas and William Hawes, Esqs. (relatives of the de ceased), Russell Scott, Esq., S. H. Fordham, Esq., &c. The private carriages of the Hon. Sir James Coleridge, Sir B. Bosanquet, Sir John Patteson, H. Weymouth, Esq., J. Hardy, Esq., M.P., Joseph Wilson, Esq., Martin Ware, Esq., &c., followed. On the arrival of the funeral procession at the chapel of St. Giles-in-the-Fields' Cemetery, Old St. Pancras road, the Rev. Mr. Tyler, Rector of the parish of St. Giles, performed the burial service of the Church, at the conclusion of which the remains of the deceased were deposited in a vault on the eastern side of the cemetery, near to the mau soleum of Sir John Soane (in accordance with the desire of the deceased). The inscription on the coffin simply says:— "Sir John Gurney, Knt., aged 77, 1845." BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MARCH 7.—Nothing whatever is doing in our market, nor will there be until the trade know the final intentions of Government, respecting the duties.
