THE S!TN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, MAY Ell, 1847. THE SHRAPNEL SHELL. The following is the petition of Mr. Henry Needham Scrope Shrapnel (son of the late General Shrapnel, the inventor of the Shrapnel Shell), presented to the House of Commons on the 14th of May, by Mr. T. S. Dun combe:— " The humble petition of Henry Needham Scrope Shrapnel, of Midway Manor House, near Bradford, in the county of Wilts, now residing at Lodge, Gosport, in the county of Wants, Esq., late of her Majesty's 3d Regiment of Foot Guai d 4, now Cap tain in the 2d Regime nt of Somerset Militia, " Showeth,—That your pet i tioner is the eldest son and heir-at-law of the late Lieutenant-General Shrapnel, the inventor of the celebrated Shrapnel shell. "That General Shrapnel, the father of your petitioner, entered the Royal Artillery on the 9th of July, 1779, at the age of twenty-one, and was ordered abroad, where he distinguished himself. That he served in Newfound land in 178082, where he w as thanked in public ord e rs by Colonel Sir Robert Pringle, for a quick method of fixing an B.inch howitzer, whereby much good service was rendered. " That your petitioner's father served at Gibraltar and in Holland, and the seige of Dunkirk, under Sir William Congreve; subsequently to Swan Island, Bar badoes, St. Vincent's, Dominica, Antigua, and various other places abroad, at all of which he acquitted him self with credit. "That the father of your petitioner was also the in ventor of the tangient slide, which has brought our artillery to its present perfection, by the accuracy with which the range can by its means be ascertaitc d; met is now generally in use both in the artillery of army and navy. " - That General Shrapnel, your petitioner's father, was likewise the proposer of hollow shot. " That the Shrapnel shell, invented by your peti tioner's father, is a discovery allowed by the most illus. trious of the British commanders to have contributed greatly towards most of the splendid victories gained by the British troops on the continent of Europe and East Indies during the last forty years and upwards, and that the effect of the shell has been to extend the destructive power of musketry, and with much greater effect. " That General Shrapnel, your petitioner's father, had the honour of making experiments before his late Majesty Bing George the Third and great number of officers. " Its importance to the nation being admitted by his Grace the Duke of Wellington and other distinguished military and naval officers. "In Portugal, the campaign of 1808, the Board of Ordnance in August supplied Col. Robe with the shell, who thus expresses himself:—' Your shot is the ad miration of the whole army; I should not do my duty to the service were I not to attribute our good fortune to the use of that weapon. I told Sir Arthur Wellesley I meant to write you, and asked if it may be with his concurrence. His answer ,was, you may say anything you please; you cannot say too much.' " That the decisive advantages from the use of the shell, which in those splendid achievements distin guished the British arms—the storming of Gusnee, at the battle of the Kyber Pass, Jellalabad, during the Burmese war, and Affghanistan—arer s fully testified by those distinguished officers, Lord Keane, Sir A. Camp bell, Sir W. Nott, Major. General Pollock, Sir Robert Sale, Lord Gough, and Sir Harry Smith. " That your petitioner is fully persuaded that the applicability of his late father, General Shrapnel's, in vention to all the purposes of marine warfare, has like wise been fully established. " That your petitioner's father, during a period of nearly fifty years, in bringing by long services of scientific experiments the invention to perfection, is prepared to show that his late father expended upwards of sixteen thousand three hundred and sixty pounds. Your peti tioner's father never received a grant of public money, although other individuals who have deserved well of their country have invariably had their services acknow ledged, and with commensurate honours and rewards, and those who have used this new weapon have titles, honours, rewards. " That General Shrapnel, your petitioner's late father, mentioned the well-known fact, as your petitioner is prepared to prove—that so fully sensible was the late Emperor Napoleon of the immense value and importance of the Shrapnel shell, in the various operations of war, that in the month of September, 1813, he caused a com munication through a confidential quarter to be made to your petitioner's father, intimating that a certain large sum of one million pounds sterling should be placed to your petitioner's father's account if he would disclose the secret of the invention—a proposal he, your peti tioner's father, indignantly rejected. "That in 1814, after repeated urgent representations to the Government, a pension of one thousand two hundred pounds, in lieu of three hundred and sixty-five pounds per annum, which was previously allowed to your peti tioner's father for improvement in artillery, was tarilly granted to your petitioner's father ; therefore, only in amount eight hundred and thirty-five pounds, the three hundred and sixty-five pounds being withdrawn. " The first time your petitioner's father felt this, your petitioner believes, was in regard of a claim of five thousand pounds which your petitioner's father had on the Honourable East India Company, the amount of settled per tentage upon shells with which the Company had been furnished, of which sum, as also all tutur. emolument, your petitioner's father was deprived. except a small annuity of two hundred pounds per annum. " The 9th of October, 1806, Major Cunningham, the East India Company's inspector, intimated officially to your petitioner's late father that it was proposed to grant him ten per cent. on the amount of all shells, which the major suggested, a plan for continuing the benefit to the general's heir upon the general's decease ; but this ar rangement was not afterwards carried out and com pleted, by which the general lost an income of several thousands per annum, and all this by the Ordnance Board of the day. "It appears that the East India Company for the term of seven years was to all ,w your petitioner's late father twenty-five pounds per 1,000 shells supplied or to be supplied ; but this, through the Board of Ordnanee, was discontinued. " The Duke of Wellington, for national policy, deemed that the invention of the shell should not be made public—suggesting that a patent should be taken out, without entering up the specification. The East India directors succeeded in getting what they required; but the new founder, not understanding the niceties at tending the manufacture of the shell, unu.ual num bers of the shell burst, and in consequence they (the Company) returned to your petitioner's late father and the Carron Company. " When 200,000 shells had been supplied to the East India Company your petitioner's late father applied for payment of the per centage, amounting to five thousand pounds, which was refused, and the Board of Ordnance denied, though the Company admitted, the original con tract ; and the Board denied your petitioner's late father, in a despotic style, the power to restrict them, as your petitioner's father had been granted a pension for the same.l " Thus was the East India Company's claim settled at once—not according to reason and justice, which was unhappily the case a few years ago by high-minded authority—by cancelling a debt of five thousand pounds. " That the injurious contraction put on the increased pension of eight hundred and thirty-five pounds—not one thousand two hundred pounds—has been the cause of the East India Company withdrawing their payments to your petitioner's late father, though Atigust 9th, 1816, they ordered a supply of 52,000 and 84,000, offering the usual per centage, amounting to three thousand four hundred pounds, with reduced per cent age , y our peti tioner's late father did not accede to. " The pension seems to have shut out your petitioner's late father, and deprived him of appointments which he, your petitioner's father, by his rank and lengthened services and seniority would have been entitled to, of treble the amount. Your petitioner's late father addressed Sir Ilus4ey Vivian, 'Master-General of Ordnance, stating that the pension of one thousand two hundred pounds was in lieu of several grants, and in reply draws the inference that the one thousand two hundred a year, being in lieu of several other sums, could never be considered as one thousand two hundred pounds for shells. " Your petitioner, on behalf of his father, asserts that, had he made no invention, he would have succeeded to an income of one thousand and sixty-two pnulids. without being previously an inspector of arrillery, of which your petitioner's father had an assurance, arid which is only one hundred and thirty-,cven r i uno.. short of the pension of one thousand tw o hundrts: pounds ; and yet his income was considerallq k=s that, the other commandants : so by the pension of 1,2001.. and a bar to promotion 1,0621., 137/. lOs , your peti tioner's late father's rank, standing, and long ser',ices of upwards of half a century. " That your petitioner'. late father, during his 62 years' service, obtained an income equal to the other commandants, though not one of them ever invented any invention ever heard of ; and he, your petitioner's lair father, would, as a matter of course, rec , ive not only , . . appointments to seniority, but ample income, and by which your petitioner's late father would have saved sixteen thousand three hundred and sixty pounds for the benefit of his family. " That your petitioner's late father suffered the fol lowing act of grievous injustice ;—Your petitioner's late father was a senior in the artillery branch of the service to Lord Bloomfield by two years ; and it is a well known rule that no officer in artillery should be put over the head of a superior officer, yet in consequence of Lord Bloomfield being an aide to George the Fourth was appointed in 1823 ; and Lord Bloomfield succeeded Sir John NPLeod of :the horse battalion, which placed him, Lord Bloomfield, at the head of that distinguished branch of the profession, where your petitioner's late father should have been ; and, in consequence, a loss of four thousand seven hundred pounds to your petitioner's father, and was also deprived of the additional pay betvveen the horse and foot artillery of four thousand and twenty-seven pounds five shillings to the day of his death. Yet Lord Bloomfield bears testimony to your 1 petitioner's late father's superior abilities and science ; and furthor adds, ' Your royal shell contains one hun dred and si,Nty-six carbine balls—those thrown with the its value to the sm . " Let tilt united voices velocity of one thousand feet a second; think of the destruction, and shudder.' years on th© of the army and navy speak a i l n ie v s e t ntorand his country of the Shrapnel shell ; th e millions or per -tentage for so many honourable of shells which have been manu factured for the East India Company errable Board of Ordnance and and when your petitioner's late of forty years ; and would have himself a' c s i ervicee Government the secret, foreseesfather communicated to but which patent, acted, would have legally secured " the y w a' as t4) a loss as advised by Earl Moira ; and itt and claims like the foregoing that a pensi on , said . one thousand two hundred a year, to your peti;inner's late father, General Shrapnel; of ss and sixty-five pounds per annum. V4r r b et' ere, hundredtherefor', is the ample reward to which hi s oncev ti Duke obf Wellington so generously and fr an kl y three' declared your petitioner's late father so justly entitled for his ingenuity and science ? " It may seem surprising your petitioner's late father silently submitted to such wrongs ; but he appealed again and again as an officer in the service of his country, to be considered subordinate to the authorities upon whom every officer, whatever may be his rank, is dependent, and the favourable opinion of the Duke cf Wellington, he, your petitioner's late father abstained from bringing his claims before the public. " Thus was your petitioner's late father deterred by the purest motives from following the judicious advice of friends, and whom, his Grace of Wellington was Prime Minister, on application, said more should be done, as a national reward. _ _ _ Resting on these hopes, that fearful the acceptance of the luckless ;pension. That when your petitioner en tered the army, though your petitioner's father could have procured a commission for him, but being asked by Lord Hill whether he wished it without purchase or purchase, he preferred the latter, which he did with his own private funds. " That your petitioner's late father being desirous of some honour, laid the same before his late Majesty King William the Fourth, which was favourably received, as appears by Sir Herbert Taylor's letter, written by the King's command, but in consequence of his Majesty's death was unhappily frustrated. " That your petitioner's late father departed this life on the third March, one thousand eight hundred and forty-two, at the advanced age of eighty-four years, after having zealously and unremittingly served his country for the long space of sixty-two years and up wards. _ _ _ _ _ " That your petitioner's late father's widow, the mother of petitioner, only receives a pension of one hundred and twenty pounds per annum, while the widow of Sir W. Congreve receives four hundred pounds, a general of less standing by twenty years than your peti tioner's father ; beyond this, who has the honour of a baronetcy. Even the ordinary personal distinction of a knight of the commander of the Bath never conferred upon him. "That your Petitioners father left debts to a consider able amount at his death, occasioned by the invention of the shell, and its perfection ; and that your petitioner, out of respect to his father, and in fall confidence the claims of his father would be recognised, mortgaged his life interest in the family estate, in order to assist in discharging the said debts. That a totally opposite construction was put upon the pension of one thousand two hundred a year by the Ordnance authorities of that day ; for this infliction was of the one thousand two hundred per annum pension without the knowledge of General Shrapnel, your peti tioner's late father, which seems to invest the honour able Board of Ordnance with extraordinary rights, powers, and authorities, as not in any way having bar tered his (your Petitioner's) father's right or forfeiture of the debt of the East India Company, or his continuing to supply the East India Company with shells. Thus was eight hundred and thirty-five pounds set against for life of a debt of five thousand pounds. Could your pe titioner's late father have seen the possibility of loss, privations, and disadvantages, which this increased, or no pension at all, your petitioner's late father would have never accepted it. " That your petitioner's late father's request to strike the balance between your petitioner's late father and his country, without any further notice of unjust propor tion, Lord Bloomfield being his junior and promoted over his head, he your petitioner's father, sustained a loss thereby of four thousand pounds. Then the heavy expense of money out of pocket, sixteen thousand three hundred and sixty pounds, then the one thousand equi valent to fourteen thousand pounds, and lastly the two claims of five thousand pounds, &c., per cent. of five thousand pounds, se that the actual state of the case stands— To balance ... Expenditure ... ... ... Lord Bloomfield ... ... East India Company .. ... Ditto, future per-centage ••• though you may say 100,0004 Interest ... ... ... ... £54,360 ... £16,360 ... 4,000 ... 5,000 ... 5,000 10,000 £54,360 By balance due to petitioner's father, 54,3601. " The pension taken at one thousand two hundred pounds, instead of three hundred and sixty-five rund., less or out of income, could not be called a reward, ft,r had the losses been reimbursed it would have been better your petitioner's late father had not invented the shell, which would at least have saved the above sum for his family. " With a due appreciation of the Duke of Virellinton's value of your petitioner's late father's invention, declared him to be entitled to a very ample reward for his inge nuity and science ; that the shells had happily achieved long services of the most brilliant victories in (very quarter of the inhabitable globe. Question—has the country shown a proper senie of gratitude for the ser vices of your petitioner's late father ? Y..ur peti tioner, theretbre, appeals to the various statements be fore made, and the numerous testimonial of the most illustrious commanders by land and sea, and courts in vestigation, and challenges contradiction for a decided answer in the negative to this inquiry. "That your petitioner is the sole depository of the secret of his late father's invention. " That your petitioner begs leave to subjoin, for the information of tour Honourable House, that from the strong testimonials, whereby the efficacy of the Shrapnel shell, and the immense advantages derived from it in the conflicts of fifty-seven battles with the enemy. Witness the united testimony of a Wellington, Gough, I a Harry Smith, and hosts of heroes who emblazon the roll. "The pure, disinterested motives which induced your petitioner's late father to abstain from pressing his claims upon the Government and Legislature, and, finally, to content himself with b. queathing them to his futnily, have already been illustrated and explained. . . "'Tat if your petitioner's late father had, as agreed upon with the Honourable Board of Ordnance and the East India Company, received the percentage of five per cent. upon the whole quantity of shells made and delivered during the war, your petitioners late father would have been in receipt of from six hundred thousand pounds to seven hundred thousand pounds sterling. " That our present happy enjoyment of peace may in a great measure be attributed in Europe and Asia, but particularly in Asia, to the Shrapnel shell; peace so highly esteemed and valued by all nations. Yet it is but fair to remark, that it is still more likely to be kept through the Shrapnel shell from the circumstance of the destruction which the Shrapnel shell dealt upon our enemies, who will not dare again to face the Shrap nel shell. " That your petitioner begs to refer your Honourable House to a pamphlet, wherein all your petitioner's late father's testimonials, and every particular, are stated in all the transactions between him and the Board of Ord nance and the East India Company, are related and explained. " Your petitioner therefore humbly prays your Ho nourable House will be pleased to take your petitioner's case into consideration, and to grant your petitioner such relief in the premises as to your Honourable House shall seem meet. " And your petitioner will ever pray, &c., " HENRY NEF.DITAM SCROPE SIIRAPNEL."

NIIP.FIELD, FRIDAT.—The: adjourned inquest on the I, bodies of Mr. James Wraith, his wife, and Caroline Ellis, their servant, who were so brutally murdered at this village on the 12th inst., was resumed here in the Methodist school room yesterd ;3t, before Mr. G. D. Barker, deputy-coroner. The cold-blooded tragedy is still enveloped in a great deal of mystery, although facts seem gradually coming to light the tendency or which is to strengthen and supply links in the chain of circum stances which originally led to the apprehension of the two Irishmen, 'Michael M'Cabe and Patrick Reid, who are now in custody on suspicion of being the perpetra tors of the horrid butchery. It has previously been mentioned that the key belonging to the back door of the late Mr. Wraith's house, together with an instrument called a soldering iron, used by plumbers and tinners, had been found at the bottom of a draw-well, a few yards distant from the back door, which it will be re collec• ed was locked when the three unfortunate persons were discovered weltering in their blood. The soldering iron has not 3et been identified by any person, nor has it been shown that ither of the pi L=oners have been seen in the possession of such an instrument at any time. There is no doubt, however, that it has been used as a weapon in the destruction of the three unfortunate per sons, from the marks on their bodies, and also from the tact that Mr. West, of Leeds, analytical chemist, has been able to trace animal matter ad I.er kg to the instrument,upon which there were spots, supposed to be blood. Mr. West, morever, has proved the presence of blood upon the prisoners' coats, thouch at present he will not under take to say that it is human blood. He is still pursu ing his investigation with regard to the marks found on the garments of the prisoners, and other articles be longing to them wh ich have been s u bmi tted to him. The importantmofoMstr.P'est is , part of the evidence, in addition to that as to the situation in which the two pri soners were seer, when approaching Mr. Wraith's house, and the time at which they were seen. They both admit having been at th e house en the day of the murder , hut it is now oa l e proveda d n g that they were going along a s hort pri vatehouse, and towards it, abeet half-past twelve o' to the to at noon, and there is a certainty from other circumstances that the three persons were murder d about t hat time, the usual dinner-ho u r in road Mirfield, and therefore the period when there would be the least number of persons outside their houses. There is also evidence of a quarrel having taken place some some time previous to the murders between the prisoner Reid and Caroline Ellis, owing to the prisoner charging her w ith having taken a tea-caddy out of his basket when at Mr. Wraith's house, and it also was proved that when he left the house after Mr. Wraith had sent for the constable, he threatened to take revenge at some future time. There seems little doubt that a robbery was corn _ mitted by the murderers, as Mr. Wraith was seen in pos session of money the day before he was murdered, and no money was afterwards found in the house. The pri • soften, howevtr, have not been proved to have been in possession of money after the murder, and it is a some what singular circumstance that WOabe, in the after noon of the 12th, asked an acquaintance to lend him a trifling sum of money in order to enable him to com plete an order which he had obtained for pots and glasses. It would be rather difficult to reconcile th,s circumstance with the idea that M'Cabe was one of the guilty parties, could it be proved that a robbery of money to any extent had been committed, unless, indeed, by supposing that the attempt to obtain the loan was a part of a scheme invented to disarm suspicion. A man's shirt, covered with blood, was found in a privy in a small wood near Ravenswharf, about two miles from Mr. Wraith's 11 , .use, by a woman, on the at- ternoon of the day on winch the murders were com mitted, and betore news had reached so far. The breast. of the shirt was much bespattered, and the sleeves were the same, while the wristbands appeared as if they had been steeped. The body of the shirt also bore marks as if bloody hands had been wiped upo;4 it. This garment the woman showed to her neighbours; and. unfortu- , [lately for :he ends of justice, one of diem, in ignorance of what had happened, and behoving the marks to have teen produced by a far different cause, burnt the gar ment, and thus rendered inquity fruitless as to whether it could have belonged to either of the prisoners charged, or to any other person. The scene of the murders still continues to be visited by large numbers of persons, who have been allowed to see the house, and otherwise gratify their curiosit) ioucling the dreadful tragedy. The house is at grew-rat ~ e cupb-d by Mr. asajainin Wraith, a nephew of toe lion Mr. Wraith. The prisoners, who have been removed from the Dewsbury lock-up to the Wakefield House of Correc tion, in order to their safe keeping, were not present at the adj,utned inquiry. The evidence was much the same as that adduced be fore the magiefrates'at Dewsbury on •-etinday last: Two of the — wiawssßs said, that one or two scissors' grinders were in the neighbourhood in which Mr. Wraith's house is situate about noon on the 12th instant, but there is no reason whatever for supp,sing that they were conni.cted in any way with th.• dark need with which the two prisoners are charged, and that, after tho minute vest 4 atious wh eh the p; .lice have inie!e, the prisoners are the only parties on whom suspicion rests. As the inquiry is still further adjourned, and the princi pal new facts developed are stated above, we shall nut give the examination of the witnesses, except those of the two following:— Mr. W. West, F.R.S., analytical chemist, of Leeds, stato—On the 14th of May I received certain articles from Mr. Green, superintendent of police. Tli , y were a dark greeu c.•at, a pair of fustian trousers. a pair of `Stockings, and a pair of shoes. I have subsequently 'received other articles, tamely, a brown coat, a basket, a piece of paper, a sack, a soldering-iron, with a handle and key. There were several marka on the dark green coat which herd to the eye more or less of the appearance of dried blood. I cut out several portions, and sub mitted them to a variety of experiments. Some of the marks showed or) chemical signs of having arisen trout blond; others I am perfectly convinced were marks of blood. (Mr. West here pointed out remaining portions of some marks on the green coat which he bad found to be blood, and also portions of which he had found not to be blood.) I think, upon the whole, I found five spots which proved clearly to be blood. As far as I recollect, they were all on the right lap of the coat. On the left sleeve of the brown coat I found one spot which I proved to be of blood. It was a small spot, but I have no doubt of its nature. I have not found satisfectory proof of blond upon any of the other garments which I received trom Mr. Green. On the key which I received I find clear proof, by several experiments, of the presence of animal matter. Oa the soldering iron I find proof of the pre sence of animal matter, and also on the handle; and I have established to my own satisfaction that that animal matter is fibrin. Fibrin is the principal portion of muscle or flesh, and also of that portion of blood which after coagulation resists solution in water. I wish to de cline garments is human blood, though I may at a future day be able to decide positively on that the blood present onthe g to give an opinion as to whether point. I consider the presenee of blood upon both the coats, and the animal matter upon the two instruments, to he of the nature of a tact rather than of an opinion, and I wish to avoid, if possible, mixing up in my own mind what does not come further than an opinion with a fact. There was a small speck on the handle of the basket, which . l proved to be blood. I wish to reseive my opinion as to the paper at present, but I intend to to pursue my investigations further. The blood sp.,ts on the green coat in the state in which I received it did show very ckarly, and I admit do so still, that they were not from wipes or smears, but from splashes or jets. I would not undertake to speak precisely as to the nuniber of days which the blood-marks had been upon the green coat, but it; my opinion the marks had been on only a few days. I found no chemical proof of blood upon thw at ,, ckings. Benjamin Morton, of Nab-lane, Mirfield, hawker. stated—l have known Michael M-Cabe and Patrick lien% about twelve mouths by sight, but only a few months by name. On the 12th of May. on the day this murder was committed, I saw Patrick Rtid, about one o'el ;ek. near to Air. Wraith's house. I was going down Water Royd-lane, and when I had got tie.ir Mr. G4rstde's house, which is in the lane, I saw i'atrick Reid at James Wraith's lane end. Reid was in the road leading Lo Mr. Wraith's house ano bed his face inwards the house. but I ctedd net say whether he a as wa!king or standing. 'He looked to be walking. Ile had tits basket on ht. arm. I did not see where he went to, but I a m apite sure it was he, from the dr-sa he had on. I s4w Michael M`Cabe first, and Patrick at the same time. I saw them both at the same time. M'Cabe was on the road leading to Mr. Wraith's house. He was about ten yards from John M'Kinnell's garden, in the private road leading towards Mr. Wraith's heuse. It would be halt way between Water Rtyd-iitne and Mr. Wraith's house, I should suppose, but I have never been that road.— :I d l l e o r w e s , 3 at the request of the coroner, the witness went, iii company with Ma Clapham, surveyor, and Superin tendent M r. Wr ‘ a C it '' t t i tendent lireen, to point out the place where he saw M•Cabe, and to ascertain the divtance the prisoner hail gone from Water Royd-lane in the direction of Mr. Wraith's house. On the witness's return he stated as Reid especially,i t , e s , h a o t u t s h e e . ti l m i ts i a l , e s saw nhim, outa-as t g h o e i t p tg i to wards Mace to Mr. Clapham, the surveyor,where I saw 'Cabe at first. It is about 58 yards from Water Rojrl lane. MaCabt. had a basket with semi, pots in it. Teere was a smart ahewer I have k of no r w ain came within a tow minutt s &ter I saw the two prisoners, and I went forward. I did not see them join each other. I had not seen Reid and M'Cabe so nearly together before that day. I knew them both well, and because I had a strong argument with him last summer on the Roman Catholic system. I on the 12th, M s ' e C v a e b ra e l from tiin e s h asvpi(ndgi en met to h him iia. w when n a h m a wskuirneg, they were the two men' saw in this lane. I have shown Mr. Clapham the place where I saw Reid. The usual dinner. hour in Mirfield is from ha:f past twelve to one o'cleek. I did not see either MaCa,be or Reid in Water Reyd-laie private road. Charles Flint, of Robert Town, Live rsedge, labourer, stated—l recollect the 12th Of May. I got home about nor did I see them before I saw them in the three o'cloek in the afternoon of that day. Michael M'Cabe was in my house when I got home. I heard of the murders at Mirfield as I was going home, and I s a t s a k i e rs. d ; m tk y a h t e tk us e e r k e eip s er a , 4 lllr) i • i S k c e orey, if she had heard anything about the murders at Mr. Wraith's house. She said she had not heard anything about it. WC:Abe heard this, and said there was nothing so sure, and that he had been at the place. I asked bun wh , t he had se.-n? Ile said he rapp e d at the door,,and heard a footstep on the th young fellow came and opened --° d oor; that he (M`3ab..) asked him if he I wanted anything in the pot fine? and that he said " No, 'sir;" th a t h e a sked him ag ain, and got no answer, and that the man tf.en stith the kites; n door. I asked M-eithe if be had ;wen itoifiiitg? ae d 1:u said, " Yes, lots of blood b.-hind the kitch'.n door." I asked him if he knew the person who came to the door? and he said he did not, but that tie could not tell the PeriQn main, I said, tt W as it net told rgatftta l thick y?" and he said "No, lam certain it was not." I asked him if he had heard any groans, and he said " Yes, some very heavy groans indeed." He said he left Mr. Wraith's house with his basket on his head, called at John and asked him if he wanted some pots, and he said that he did not want any. I then asked him if he came direct to Robert Town, and he never spoke. I asked him if he had mentioned what he had seen to any one ? and he said, " No, not to any one." Nothing more was said except that he wanted to borrow some money from me to buy some pots with. William Sheard came to my house about four o'clock, and between four and five M'Cabe and he talked to gether about this murder, but I did not hear the con versation. I afterwards got Sheard to come to Mirfield end state what M-Cabe had said he bad teen at Mr. Wraith's house. William Shear], of Robert Town, Liversedge, kawker, stated, on the 12th of May I went to the last witness's house. It was about half-past four o'clock when I got there, as near as I can tell. I saw Michael M Cab. there, and had some conversation with him after he came down stairs. I told him I had been informed that be had been at the place where the murder had happened, and he said he had. I asked him which way he went to the house, and he said, " Down the fields, opposite Mr. Wraith's house." He said, " N hen I got into the yard the shutters were closed and the blinds were down." [The witness gave an aecoutit of what M•Cabe told him he had seen, which did not differ in the slightest degree from the convet cation de tailed by Chid. a Eine; The witness then proceeded: —I asked *Cabe where he thought the blood came from which he had seen at the back of the door? and he said, " I thought the old matt had been killing a hen." I then asked him if he heard anything? and i,e said " Yes, dreadful groans." I asked - him what he though: . the groans came from ; and he said " I thought the old woman was poorly." I asked him if the man who came to the door was not old Mr. Wraith? and he replied. " No." He then told me that after leaving Mr. Wraith's he went to John Mainnell's, then called at a cottage house, whet*. he gathered a few rags, and th-n he wen' to Flint's. That is all 11•Cabe said about the ease, and when he had said this I said to hire, "If Mr. Ingham knew what you have told me he would certainly send for yim, as they would want information." My brother-in law, Charles Flint, told me. in M'Cabe's hearing, to put the saddle upon the galloway, and go to tell Mr. Ing ham. M'Cahe never spoke at that time, and I said, " I do not like to go, for it is a very serious job to go about." M'Cabe then said, " Don't go, Bill ; lam going down to the Shoulder of Mutton, and I can declare it myself." Without speaking agsin to him, I put the saddle on the galloway, and came to Mirfield, where I gave informa• tion to Mr. Howarth. I and M'Cabe never had any dealings together. lam quite sure that M'Cabe men tioned both the shutters and the blinds. At the conclusion of the last witness's examination, the CORONER, addressing the jury, said—Gentlemen, I believe we have now examined all the evidence that c',,n be adduced to-day, but it is very important that furthpr tlme should be given for inquiry, bi cause the publicity that has been given to-day to the situation in which thk prisoners have been seen will be very important and very beneficial in inducing other parties to supply links which are very desirable in the trsin of evidence which we now have, and, therefore, I feel it my duty to ad journ the inquiry to a future day, and I propose to adjourn it until this day fortnight ; and if a:iy further evidence can, as I hope it will, be procured within the time, I have no doubt it will be produced, and then, having all the evidence that in all probability can be produced, it will be your duty to give it that serious at tention which the case requires, and to return a verdict. upon it. But I shall not feel justified in putting the case to you at present. because I think it possifile and probable that other eviihnee will be adduced between this time and the day I have mentioned for the ad journment. Therefore, hentlernen, I propose to adjourn this it.quiry until thii day fortnight, which is the 10th of June. The inquest was then formally adjourned to 11. o'clock in the forenoon of the day n3enri-ned by the Coroner, to be resumed at the S4Tl‘e place, and the jury were bound in recognizances to attend. AWFUL AND COLD-BLOODED MURDER. (PROM A CuIIiMSPONDENT.) ROTHERHAM, FRIDAY.—The qu et town of Wither haw has to-day been thrown into s state of great excite- Meta by the perpetration of an atreci , us emir er, vvidelt has been committed this forenoon, between ten and eleven o'clock, on the turnpike-read leading from R, therhaul to lta.wmarsh, a vilage about two miles oft, on a s , ‘ ocean who was passing on the ro,id. From inquiries wade on the spot, it appears thaf Samuel Linley, a joiner, left his lodgings at the Four lane-ends, near Raw marsh. between ten aid eleven, aro was proceeding to the Park gate Iron Works, belonging to Messrs. Se:ndetield and (Jo, to his work, about three huntirea vards off. He hid Hot gone tar betibre he me, the decersed, Suaarinnh Jazger, the wife of Benjani.n Jagge,, or Masbarougn common, shopkeeper, who was 401:e a stranger to hun, going to Rawinarsh with snit cerieN Linley held out his hand to the deceased. foul a6ked her to snake hand,; she roused, and passed him. lie tuined roend, followed her, and struck httr with Its fist over the back of her head, knocked her down, and got upon her, and when she attempted to rise he strut k her s..veral severe blows on the head. He then got her shoulders between his knees, and kept bealieu her. She scream:A out, and some persons who reside near an t were p :ssing ran to her assistance ; but before the could get to the place, Lintey was seen to take a clasp knife out oc his waistcoat pocket, open it, and cut ,he woman's throat on its right side. Joshua Stewaid, of Rotherham, a cow keeper, who was passing, and saw Linley commence his attack on the woman, ran to them, and when he got up the ruffian was cutting at the woman's throat with the knife; he did not even desist when Steward got there, but the latter pulled hit!) off the woman, and some other persons coming to the place the mail was secured, and the knife taken tram him. The poor woman was bleeding profusely, the assassin having separated the jugular vein. Medical aid was immediately sent for, but long before any could arrive the poor woman had breathed her last, she having died a few minutes after receiving the injuries. Linley on being asked why he did it, replied, " I have made a bad job of it," and that drink had done it. He was not, however, drunk at the time, but had been drinking for some days previous. Information of the occurrence was immediately con veyt d to Mr. Badger, of Rutherham, the cot oner for this district, who went and inspected the scene of the mur der, and ordered the man, when he found in custody, to be removed to Rotherham gaol and carefully watched, where he now iemains vo await the coroner's inquest, which is to be held on the hod) to-morrow forenoon. The murder having been committed in the middle of the forenoon, and within one hundred yards of several houses and a very public highway, and without any pro vocation or apparent motive, has caused the utmost con sternation, and leaves no doubt but that the perpetrator of it must at the time have been labouring under in sanity. AWFUL ATTEMPT TO MURDER. (From the Manchester 7imes of Fi iday.) • A shocking and most exsraor.linary atterupi was made 3estertia) - ( Thursday) morning, by an old woman in Hulme, to murder h, r son-in law, while asleep in bed, by cutting his throat. The name of the woman is Eliza Loth Jackson, and hi r daughter and son-ito law, Thom ,s Hoyle, lived with her, at No. 43. Caton street, Hulu.e. Jackson is a married woman, but separate i irom ht:r husband. She slept in the same room with her son-in law and daughter. and at an early hour went to the heal side of the young couple, who have only been married nine mo,ths..ano hailing over the b.uly of tt.e daughter, with a large table knife cut the throat of Royle, who lay ne-xt to toe wall, and who, as Nell as his wife, was fast Fortunately - the knite was not very shut p, and the young man was awoke by its passing a ! ros, kits throat bdore a sufficiently deep incision had be. n effected to prove fatal. He put out his hand to save htinstif, win u the end of one of his fingers was nearly cut off and be then sprang out or bed, and ran into an ajoiiiing house for help. The prisoner, in the course of yesterday morning, was brought up for examination at th,. , &lough Court, when the todowmg rvidt, ee wa, given ..)1e said he ivis toe prLoner's having tn4J•ii d her daughter in October nist. The pri,oi:vr slept in the same room with him and his wi•e. The prisoner west to bed first on Wedusday night, about ten o'clock, and he and his wite followed shortly atter. No ill-words or quarrel had taken place, but they had all been comfortanle; that (Thursday) morn ing, shorily be , ore six o'clock, he was awoke by feeling something drawn across his throat, aril on looking up, saw the prisoner leaning over the bed with the knife now produe.ed in Court in ti.r grasp, which she was drawing backwards and forwards across his throat. His wife was asleep. He immediately seized hold of the prisoner's hand, and called upon his wife, but the prisoner did not desist. She struggled with him and cut one of his fingers while he was attempting to keep the knife from his throat. He then jumped out of bed, and escaped from the house. Ellen Thompson, the next witness, stated that she lived at 55, Clarendon-street. She said Royle (the pro secutor) came running to their door, and asked if they eon! find a poli , ,:eman? He was bleeding profusely from a wound in the neck, and stated that his mother•in law had been attempting to cut his throat. William Court, a police officer, stated that he was called in by the last witness, and went to ,he prisoner's house, when he found her sitting by the bed-side. He told her what she was charged with, and took her into custody. She accompanied him willingly, merely ob serving, " Very well, take your time, and I'll come with Superintendent Taylor said when he saw the prisoner he cautioned her of the u=e t hat might be made of any confession, and then u:led if she had any voluntary statement she wished to make. She answered, " hardly know what I'm doing, I'm sure, for all sides; for he only wants to get my property from me, and won't wait till my ch ath. ' The knits produced in court was very blunt, but of large size, and the wuund inflicted on Royle's throat was from tan.t.to three inches in length, but not very deep. The surgeon, Mr. J. Foster, Medlack-street, who had examined the wound, was not present, and ultimattiv the case was remanded, that his evidence might be ob tained. FATAL ACCIDENT WHILE BATHING -Friday even ing, between eight and nine o'clock, several youths aid )" . 'g men were bathing on the south bark of the Thames, ..pposito Cheyne-walk, Chelsea. One of them.

This case came before the Court upon an appeal motion from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of Eng land, directing a metion for taking the bdlnff the file to stand over for six weeks. It appeared from the state ment of Mr. Rolt, who appeared as Counsel for the ap pellants. that a rill had been filed in the name of the company, contrary to the declared wishes of a majo rity of the shareholders at a public meeting. There were ten directors of the company, seven of whom were fa, ourable to sellicg or leasing the line to the Bristol and Exeter Company, to be made on the broad gauge p:inciple ; the remaining three director,. together with a large majority of the shareholders, would not have any connexion with the Bristol ard Exeter Comp ny, but desired to lease the line to the Taw I),_ck Company, and heir de sire was confirmed at a gen. ral meeting of the com pany, held on the 17th of February last. The bill was then filed to prevent the seven directors from pro seeuring their scheme, and an injunction had been ob tained. Mr. nolt. Air Follett, and Mr. Chandless were coun sel the appellants; and Mr Bethel!, Mr. J. Parker, arid Mr. Hardy, appeared in support of the decision of thy C.mrt blow. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he thought the course taken by the Vice Chencenor was n proper one. The defendants aeked to have the bill taken off the file, be cause they were, in point of fact, the corporation, attd the bill professed to be at the instance of the ceepore, Lien. Hie Lerdship flt that tit be a very iiitpor!eut question, but from the view he took of the other part if the case, it was not necessary to express at that moment any opinion of whether the ditectors did or did nut re.. eresent the corporation. His Lordship found from the f,,c7s, w hi a ti were not disput• d, that the directors for the rime bt-in,r were authoiis. d by the prevteiiins of the eemeral Act to exercise tuil pewt r, eubjeet to the coutrel and repletion of any getierai meeting specially sum. mooed for the pure Abe, but not so es to render any act done prior to the reeolutien passed at such general meeting. That provision formed a very im portant part of the consideration with respect to the exercise of power by the executive body, for it was quite clear that in many eases, unless the Court inter fered as it had in the prfsent instance, the directors might do eves against the wishes and interest of the •hareholders before a gen, ral meetitig could be called to restrain them. His Lordship had nothing to do with the Great Western Company or the South- Western Company. He only found the directors of the particulr company entering into an arrangement to do an act which was disapproved of by a body sworn to be a ma jority of the shareholders. His Lordship, after going through the affidavits and commenting on the facts of the case, concluded by repeating that he thought th( order of the Vice-Chancellor right in every respect, ant: he dismissed the appeal with costs. There being a question whether the costs might not be charged on the funds of the company, His LORDSHIP gave the parties liberty to apply on that point. ROLLS' COURT, May 29. This being the day for the hearing of consent peti tions, the whole morning was occupied with cases of no the least general interest. VICE CrIANCELLORS' COCRT, May 29.

He said it had been contended, on the part of the defendant, that between the" time of his making the application fur the shares and: the allotment of them, several names were withdrawn from the list of provisional committee men, and others added, which materially site tell his cpinion of the undertaking, and, upon that ground, that he had either the option of refusing or accep:ing the allotment which he had sought. The Court, looking at the circumstances under which the allotment was made, considered that no contract had been proved between the plaintiffs and defendants, and were of opi• nion that a nonsuit ought to be entered, as sought by the defendant. _ _ _ Nonsuit entered accordingly, and rule made absolute.
