PARLIAMENTARY ELECTORS BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this Bill, Sir DE LACY EVANS said a large number of elec tors in the metropolis, and in fact throughout theswhole country were disfranchised, in consequence of the lay on which the rates were obliged to be paid, in order to give votes a valdica:ion. The rates by the Re form Biil were to be paid en the sth of April. He proposed by this hiii that they should be ' paid on the sth of October, which would give th voters, six instead of three months to pay them in. This pro. position was one of the mildest kinds of reform that could be suggested.s and he would remind those who were about to present themselves to their constituents, that if they objected to such a mild reform as this they would be considered advocates of the old rotten-borough system (Lauehter) and he, therefore, called upon those on the other side, who supported " liberal prin ciples and popular principles," to give their assent to the Bill. Mr. NEWDEGATE objected to the Bill. It might, e,r it might not, be expedient to abolish toe ratf paying clauses of the Reform Act, but it was most ob jectionable to make such an alteration on the eve of a general election for the convenience of a certain body of electors. Mr. WAKLEY said the Bill would not apply at the ensuing general election. Mr. NEWDEGATE saw no reason, then, why the Bill 'should not be deferred until a future session, and trusted the Government woul d not allow it to proceed further. They had pledged themselves to bring in a Bill on the subject, and therefore no benefit could arise from proceding with this measure during the present session. He called upon the House to pause before they passed the Bill, th e p ro p oser o f w hi c h stated that his ultimate object was to obtain household suffrage, if not universal suffrage, which was a consum mation few would wish for. He trusted, as the Bill was breaight forward as an election cry, that the House would support him in placing every impediment in the way of the passing of the Bill. Sir W. CLAY supported the Bill. The ancient system of voting consisted in possessing the franchise by occupation and the payment of taxes, but he defied any one to say that before the passing of the Reform Bill the one was conjoined to the other. He supported the Bill, not because it accomplished all he wished, but as it would take away an unfair restriction. The Hon. Gentlemen said that the Bill was brought forward as an election clap-trap. It was by no means an unwise step, at the end of a Parliament, to show the people of this country who were their friends and who were opposed to their liberties. The Hon. Gentleman who used the expression " popular principles, and liberal principles " was more noted for mooting difficult political problems than of ever answering them, but he (Sir W. Clay) considered that no principles would be popular unless they were essentially liberal.—(Hear.) Mr. WAKLEY supported the Bill, as he considered that it would enfranchise an immense body of properly qualified persons. The Honuurable Gentleman the Member for Warwickshire (Mr. Newdegate) was, no doubt, a fair man, and a friend of the people, for he had voted for the Ten Hours Bill, but he had a crotchet in his head with respect to this Bill which he trusted he would soon get rid of. The 26th clause of the Reform Act merely said that persons should be registered by a certain day, and did not make the anomalous distinction between county and borough voters. He wished to see the rate-paying clauses of the Reform Bill repealed— ( Hear)—lecause Ha man did not pay his rates he was answerable to the law, and his goods might be distrained upon ; and surely this was an unfair restriction to con tinue when they had such a p ,wer. Why, he did not object to annual Parliaments, because "short reckonings made long friends," and was the cha racter of the House would be elevated by more fre quent communion with those who sent them there When a member was about to meet his constituents it was astonishing what attention he paid to questions which his constituents were likely to discuss with him.— (Laughter.) Under the present law many persons of property were disfranchised. The Governor of the Bank had his vote disallowed on one occasion because he had not paid his rates by a certain day. He trusted the op position would be withdrawn, and that the Bill would be carried. Mr. CRIPPS opposed the Bill, and moved that it be read a second time that day three months. If the lion. Member for Finsbw y (Mr. Wakley) brought forward a Bill for Annual Parliaments next session, he trusted that he would couple with it a Bill to render the office of county coroner open to annual election.—(Laughter.) Mr. WAKLEY said he was ready to resign whenever galled upn to do so. Mr. CRIPPS said the difference between counties and boroughs was this—in the first persons might vote who neither paid rates nor assessed taxes, whilst in the other the franchise was only obtained by rating. It would be better if Hon. Gentleman would reserve their addresses on the subjs,ct until they were on the hustings, instead of making them in the House and having their sentiments made known to their constituents through the uewspapor.—(Laughter.) Sir B. HALL denied that this Bill was an infringe ment of the Reform Act, as had been stated, for in his opinion it was only carrying out the principles of that measure. All that the constituents of towns wanted was to be placed upon the same footing as the constituencies of counties. He therefore hoped the Bill would meet with the approbation of the House, and that late as the session was it would receive the sanction of the Legislature before the ter mination of their labours. Mr. HENLEY opposed the Bill on the ground that it would operate injuriously, not only on the franchise, but on the poor. He was also of opinion that the Bill could not pass into a law on account of the lateness of the session, and that being the case he did not see the use of pressing it forward. Captain PECHELL supported the Bill. He thought it a most moderate m-asare, and they would be only approving themselves the friends of the poor by passing it into a law. Sir DE LAC Y EVANS considered the Bill was called for by the present state of the law respecting the fran chise, and if the opposition to it was successful, it would be only perpetuating- the system of c.)rruption which at present prevailed. The House then divided, when there appeared : For the Amendment 54 Against it The SPEAKER then gave his vote, the numbers being equal, against the amendment, which was consequently lost. The House again divided on the original motion, when the numbers were— For the second reading Against it 53 Nitijority The Bill was consequently lost. BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY BILL. Oa the question that the report on this Bill be re ceived, _ _ Mr.' lIANIILTON mow(' the following clause:— "Arid be it enacted and declared, that in the cons: ruction of this Act and the several Acts herein referred to, the expression barrister-at-law, or barrister, shall mean a barrister-at law called to the bar either in Eng land :or Ireland; and the expression attorney at-law, shall mean an attorney-at-law either for England or Ireland, except where it 11 otherwise provided." The ATTORNEY GENERAL opposed the clause. Mr. STEWART also opposed the clause, and hoped the Hon. Gentleman would withdraw it. Mr. BOUVERIE supported the clause. After a few words from Mr. HENLEY, Sir J. GRAHAM took that opportunity of asking the Attorney -General whether a judge, under the Ni W County Courts Bill, was eligible to be el , cted a Member of Parliament, as he saw that one of the judges of the County Courts was setting up as a candidate for the next election. If the Learned Attorney General was of opinion that they were eligible to be elected it would be his duty on the third reading of this Bill to propose a elKuse for their disqualification. The AT fOLLNEY-GENERAL said the matter was doubtful, and he did not wish to give any opinion up ai it. Sir JAMES GRATTAN! said that in that case, as the state pit the law was such, he would, on the third readino of the present Bill move a clause for their dis qualitication.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HAMIL'I ON then withdrew this clause, as it did not appear to meet with the approbation of the House. The report .vas then received. FEVER iOSPITAL BILL. This Bill ;ai read a sPeond time. PUBLIC WORKS AND DRAINAGE (IRELAND, BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed ; as also the constabulary Force (Ireland) Bill, and the London bridge Apprc•aches Bill.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. SECONDARIES' COURT, July 14. (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) WEBB V. LITTLEWOOD. The plaintiff in this action is a livery-stable keeper, &c.. at Croydon, sad the defendant is a surveyor, &c. The action was brought to recover the sum of 351. 10s., f,r the hire of a horse and gig, and damage done to a horse. The dt f, ndant suffered judgment to go by default. The plaintiff% nephew proved that defendant had fre quently had the horse and gig out, and on one occasion the horse was knocked up " dead lame," and cut about so that it was laid up Defendant paid off part of the account, and promised to pay the remainder, and agreed that the injury to the horse should be estimated at 101., but defendant said he did not at all know how it hap• pened. The jury gave a verdict for the full amount. lIYAMS V. ARMSTRONG. The plaintiff in this action is a preserved fruit mer chant, and defendant an oilman in Thames-street. The action was brought to recover the sum of 51., the balance of an account for goods sold. • Mr. HOBBY, who appeared for the plaintiff, said that this was a most harassing proceeding on the part of the defendant, who had pleaded, but did not appear to sup port the plea. The cause was set down for trial this day fortnight, but could not be proceeded with, in con sequence of the absence of the principal witness to prove the delivery of the goods. The defendant had given him in custody on a frivolous charge of stealing a child's cap. There being no defence, the jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Chelmsford, July 13. CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) Emma Elizabeth Hume, 24, a pretty young woman, was indicted for feloniously attempting to administer to Thomas Hume, her husband, a large quantity of a cer tain deadly poison called sugar of lead, with intent to kill and murder him. No counsel was engaged either to prosecute or defend the prisoner, and Mr. Bosanquet was requested by the Court to examine the witnesses from the depositions. It appeared from the evidence of the woman's hus band, who was considerably older than herself, and who nad the appearance of a sickly, ailing man, that he was a widower at the time he married the prisoner, and had some grown up children. For some time prior to the month of April he had been suffering from a liver com plaint, and a man named Merchant, who lived in the same village with the prosecutor and his wife, and who, it appeared, had the reputation of being able to cure the disorder in question, had been prescribing for him, and had made up for him some boxes of pills. On the 7th of April the prisoner was observed by her daughter-in law to be mixing up some flour and water to a thick paste, and she then moulded it into the form of two large pills, which she placed upon the oven to dry, and when they were dried she put them into a box which contained some of the pills that had been sent by Marchant. At this time her husband was bedridden, and it appeared that she went to him and told him it was time for him to take his medicine; and she then produced the two large pills, and wished him to take them. From circumstances that had pre viously occurred, he had some suspicion of her inten• tions, and, after observing that the pills were too large and too strong for him, he refused to take them. The prisoner pressed him to do so, and told him that " Tom Warner" had said that they were just the things for his complaint; but he persisted in his refusal, and the pri soner at length put the pills back into the box with the others. The next day she again pressed him to take the large pills, but he refused; and it appeared that after that they were handed over to the police. The prose cutor also stated that a short time before this happened the prisoner had brought him some fried potatoes, but the moment he had put a portion of them into his mouth ho discovered such a nauseous taste that he was obliged to spit out what he had taken; and upon another occa sion she brought him some broth, which had the same taste, and he refused to drink it. Tom Warner, it appeared, was a labourer in the village of Tollesbury, where the prosecutor and his wife resided. At the conclusion of the examination of the prosecutor the prisoner asked him why he had put her into the workhouse when he was well able to keep her?—The prosecutor said he had not done so. The prisoner then asked whether he had not said that he would leave her at Chelmsford, if he took a false oath to do it. He denied ever having made use of such an expression. Prisoner—Did I not say to you that I would not do what they wanted me—to poison you? Prosecutor—l never heard you say so. Sarah Elizabeth Hume, tho prosecutor's daughter, proved that she saw her mother mix up the large pills, and place them with the smelt ones in the box, and she afterwards saw her offer the same pills to her father, and press him to take them, upon two occasions. She also stated that upon the occasion when her mother made the mutton broth, she first put some white powder into a basin, and mixed it up, and then poured the broth into it and back into the saucepan, several times. Her fa ther refused to drink the broth, and when it was brought down the prisoner told her to throw it away, and at the same time directed her to wash the basin and saucepan quite clean. She said that after her father refused to take the pills they were placed in the box upon a ledge, and she afterwards saw the same pills handed to Fox, the constable. Mr. Baron PARKE told the prisoner she was at liberty to ask the witness any questions she pleased. The prisoner said it was not true that she asked her to wash the saucepan, she did it herself. F. the constable who took the prisoner into custody, said that upon his showing her the large pills she at first denied all knowledge of them, but she afterwards admitted that she had attempted to administer them to her husband, but the said she did not intend to poison him. It was then given in evidence that the two large pills referred to, upon their being analyzed, were found to contain 26 grains and a half of sugar of lead ; and that in the state of health of the prosecutor that quantity would certainly have caused his death if he had taken it. The prisoner, in her defence, merely denied the charge. Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up, the jury, after deliberating for a tew minutes, returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned JUDGE, addressing the prisoner, said she had been convicted upon the clearest testimony of the diabolical crime of attempting to take away the life of her husband by poison ; and there was too much reason to fear that she would have succeeded in her attempt if her previous conduct had not excited suspicion in the breast of her husband as to her intentions towards him. He felt it to be his duty, therefore, to pass upon her the most severe sentence fixed by the law for this offence ; Ind he at the same time observed, that he knew of no other crime so dreadful that was not visited with the punishment of death. He then ordered the prisoner to be transported fur the term of her natural life. The prisoner heard the address of the Learned Judge witn apparent indifference, and the moment the sentence was pronounced sprang to the side of the dock, where her husband was standing, evidently with the intention of inflicting any injury that might be in her power upon him. She was immediately seized by two or three turn keys, with whom she struggled with the most desperate determination. Finding herself overpowered, she leaned towards her husband as far as she could, and grinned at him, and, with a most savage expression of countenance, muttered imprecations upon him; the poor old man was trembling in every limb, and apparently almost dead from fright. The prisoner was at length carried out of court by the turnkeys. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—Oxford, July 13. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice ERLE and Common Juries.) FEATUERSTONEHAUGH AND PIITTERILL V. SHERWOOD AND CO. Mr. Whateley and Mr. Selfe appeared for the plain tiffs; Mr. Keating and Mr. Pigott for the defendants. The detendants were contractors for making the new line of railway from Oxford to Rugby; and the plaintiffs were employed by them to fence and otherwise prepare several miles of that line; and the action was brought to recover a balance of 1131. due for the work so done. The defence was a set-off to a greater amount, and after a trial of four hours the set-off was established to the satisfaction of the jury, who, without hesitation, re turned a verdict for the defendants. FEA.THERSTONERACCII AND PUTTERILL V. CLARIDGE. The same counsel again appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Keating and Mr. Dowdeswell for the defendant. This was an action of slander for saying of the plaintiffs that they had forged the name of a Mr. Purnell for 90/. The defendant pleaded only " Not guilty." At the opening of the case the plaintiff's counsel ex pressed a readiness to take a verdict for nominal damages if the defendant would apologise. Mr. KEATING said that the defendant meant to impute forgery to the plaintiffs, and was ready to make any apology they might desire, ,if a juror was withdrawn, and the cause so te rminated, each p art y p a ying his own costs. t d ory be , e a x t w r iatcnteesds, was r, proved that the words call suppose then a second, out answe r o f w n h o o t m b n e i o n t g h i u s g a t i e s o fa u c l however, proved referred only to Mr. F e eat h e r d s to n t h ahuagwvh.eh been At the suggestion of the Court , Mr . Keatin g' s offer was acceded to, and the jury discharged. This was the fourth and last case in this Court, and was over at half-past one o'clock. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, July 12. The a ss i zes at this place commenced to -d ay , the ccan. mission h aving been opened on Saturday by Mr. Justice i Wightrnan. Th e other Learned Judge, Sir Frederic. Pollock, did not arrive until last evening. The cause lists, which are not yet published, are ex pected to be very light. There are 110 prisoners named in the calendar, 4 ut whom are charged with murder, 2 murder and robbery, 3 rap,,, 1 attempting to shiait, 3 manslaughter, 17 burglary, 3 housebreaking, 9 cutting, kvounding, or stabbing, 5 forgery, 7 uttering forged documents, 18 rubbery with violence, 6 horse -stealing, 3 arson, 1 housebreaking and rape, and 5 concealment of birth. Three of the persons named are for offences com mitted within the city. The authorities cf the city have expressed a desire that these latter may be tried at the Guildhall, instead of in the county, at the Castle, as is he should ply with the wish. u sual, and the Lord Chie f Baron , upon application ma d e to the Court this morning, intimated that Judges began the business of th e ass i zes t noon to-dad. the Lord Chief Baronice %I/1g tman i presiding a t The Learned Nisi Prins, and Mr. Just ' h n the C rown GILL V. LUND. The plaintiff, blr, Richard CIVIL SIDE.—( ill :Ind the defendant, Mr. Before tae LORD CHIEF BARON.) TIE SUN, LONDON,' William Lund, are both farmers, residing in the neigh bourhood of Sheriff Hutton, near York, and this action was brought to recover the sum of 451., for loss which the plaintiff alleged he had sustained in consequence of the defendant's dog having worried a number of his sheep. Mr. Martin and Mr. Cowling appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Baines and Mr. Bliss for the defendant. It app, arcd from the evidence of several witnesses that on the 19th of April last, at about five o'clock in the morning, a black and white dog, shown to be that of the defendant, was seen along with another, a red dog, chasing the sheep in question in a field. It was not proved to whom the other dog belonged, though it was supposed to be the property of a person in the same neighbourhood. The flock consisted of small Cheviot ewes, with young lambs. Several of the ewes as well as of the lambs were destroyed by these dogs, and some of them were drowned, having been driven into a pool of water; others were very seriously injured. The de fendant's dog, which had usually been tied up of nights, was seen at the defendant's house later in the same day, lying under a table, in a " drabbled" state, and Mr. Lund, when spoken to the same morning about the matter, said that it was a bad job, that the dog had not been tied up that night; that the occurrence, however, could not then be helped, but he was willing to pay for any damage that might have been dune by his own dog. A difference subsequently arose as to how much the de fendant ought to bear of the loss; and as there had been two dogs engaged in the attack on the sheep, he con• sidered that he should not be called on to pay more than one•half of the damage sustained. Arbitrators were appointed by the parties, and the arbitrators chosen ap pointed an umpire; but the latter, on the question being left to him, considered the point to be one of difficulty, owing to the circumstance of there being another dog besides that of the defendant, and the fade in proof not showing what portion of the mischief had been actually done by the defendant's dog. He thought it more pro perly a question to be determined by a lawyer. There appeared to be no doubt that Mr. Lund had admitted his liabilities to some extent, and the plain tiff's witnesses stated that 45/. would be a reasonable estimate of the amount of damage done to the flock. One of the defendant's witnesses, howeitsr, stated that about 381. would cover the whole loss, and Mr. Richard Gatley, the umpire, said that 301. would be enough, at the utmost. Some discussion took place respecting the defendant liability upon that point on which the umpire was in doubt; but Mr. Martin contended, that while the several owners of the two dogs could not, in such a case, have been sued jointly, either of them might be made answer able for the whole damage produced by the two dogs worrying the flock at the same time, although it might not appear precisely in how far both dogs had partici pated in every item of the mischief done. It was proved, for the defendant, that the sheep of the neighbourhood had been several times worried upon other occasions, shortly before the 19th of April, and since that day. Defendant's dog was hanged on the night of the 19th. His LORDSHIP concurred in the view taken by Mr. Martin, telling the jury that they must be satisfied — first, that the defendant's dog was one of those engaged in doing the mischief; secondly, that the defendant was aware of the dog's being given to worry sheep; and, thirdly, that, having such knowli dge, he, the defendant, had neglected such precaution, in confining the dog, as would be needful to restrain him from committing inju ries of this kind. It had been shown by one of the wit nesses that defendant was once present when the dog had chased some sheep, and seized one of them. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 40/. WESTERN CIRCUIT.— Winchester, July 13. This circuit commenced yesterday. Mr. Justice Williams arrived in this city, and having opened the commission, proceeded to the cathedral and attended Divine service. There are upwards of forty prisoners for trial; and from the appearance of the calendar the offences with which the parties are charged would seem to be of a very serious character, several persons having been committed for cutting and wounding. The cause list has in it sixteen cases, three of which are to beltried by special ,juries. Chiet Justice Wilde, accompanied by his lady, arrived yesterday evening. This m,lrning the business of the assizes commenced, Chief Justice Wilde sitting at Nisi Prins at tea o'clock, and Mr. Justice Williams opening the Crown Court at eleven o'clock. William Boyd was indicted for having, on the sth of March, maliciously cut and wounded Thomas Meatyard, at Alverstoke, with intent to murder him. Other counts varied the intent. Mr. Greenwood and Mr. Collier were counsel for the prosecution. From the evidence . it appeared that Meatyard was chh.f mate of the York hulk, lying in Portsmouth har bour. The prisoner was confined on board the hulk as a convict, under sentence of transportation. About five o'clock on the morning of the sth of March the prisoner came on the spar deck with his hammock. Meatyard was walking on the dick. The prisoner threw his ham mock carelessly off his shoulder. Meatyard requested him to move the hammock further back, as some ene would fall over it. The prisoner hesitated, muttered something, and then moved the hammock as he had been desired. In about ten minutes afterwards Meatyard received a violent blow on the head whick knocked him down. He endeavoured to get up, and while doing so he received another blow on the temple, which again felled him to the ground. He then saw the prisoner brandishing a weapon in his hand. Meatyard called for assistance, and one of the guards ran towards the pri soner, who threw the weapon at him. He was then secured. Meaty ard's head was very much injured. lie was confined to his bed for some time, and he had not yet recovered. The weapon was prduced. It was a short stick, with something tied round the end of it with a cloth, which weighed more than a pound. Upon this cloth being undone, it turned out that a chain was bound round the stick, which enclosed a large iro❑ nail, forming a most dangerous instrument. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Sentence deferred. NISI PRIUS COURT. Chief Justice Wilde has been engaged the whole of the day in trying a case in which the question has been, whether certain railway surveys were properly done, and whether the sum charged was excessive. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBORdUGH-STREET. Mathew Hayes and Dennis Gorman, two fellows belonging to a gang of " mouchers," were brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with assaulting Mr. Wm. Butler, coffee and eating-house keeper, No. 18, Robert -street, Grosvenor-square, and refusing to pay for their refresh ments. The prosecutor stated that about a quarter to ten on Tuesday the two p-isoners entered hisshop, and ordered complainant to supply them with some supper. Witness supplied them with refreshments to the amount of ten pence, and prior to their eating it wished them to pay him, as from their appearance he imagined that they intended to do him. The prisoner ;Hayes became very indignant at being asked fur the money, and swore with an awful oath that he would not pay a fraction. The other prisoner also refused to pay, alleging that the pro secutor deserved to lose his money for doubting their honesty, and that if he had been civil they would have paid him. Prosecutor, seeing what sort of customers he had to deal with, let them eat their supper, which they had no sooner done than up they jumped and ru❑ out of the house. A customer who was in the shop pursued them and collared the prisoner Gorman. Wit. ness followed and laid hold of the prisoner Hayes. Both prisoners, finding that they were likely to be detained, pitched into witness and his friend right and left, and knocked them down. Witness called for assistance, and gave them into custody. The prisoner GoriLan, in defence, said that he was invited to partake of supper by Hayes. He was drunk, and thought he had money. Hayes pleaded the same tale, with the addition of denying the assault. Mr. HARDWICK said it was a common practice of such men to commit depredations upon publicans and coffee-house keepers. It had become an every-day oc currence, and when ho had an opportunity of punishing he should do so to the utmost. He should fine them 40s. each, or one month's imprisonment, with hard labour, in the House of Correction. The prisoner Hayes here became very violent, and said. the Magistrate was a humbug, and unfit to admi nister justice. With some trouble he was eventually removed from the bar. WORSHIP-STREET. A mln named Barnet. a labourer, in the employment of the Eastern Counties Railway, was charged, before Mr. Broughton, the sitting magistrate, with the following robbery:— From the concurrent testimony of Messrs. Merefield and Brett, employes upon the line, it appeared that the company were continually being robbed by some of their labourers, and that, in consequence thereof, the witnesses were directed to watch the movements of several of them. On Monday a number of chests of nuts arrived by the train, and were placed in the goods vvarehouse, at Brick lane. They had not long b e en deposited ere some of the labourers were observed stealthily proceeding to wards the place. Sufficient time having elapsed, the witnesses pounced upon them; they, however, effected their escape. The prisoner, who was one of them, was this morning captured at his lodgings. Mr. BROUGUTON said, they were perfectly justified in taking the prisoner into custody, and, at the suggestion of Mr. Moseley, who holds a high official situation upon the line, the prisoner was remanded for a few days, in order to give time for communicating with the con signee of the nuts, and other matters connected with the charge. THAMES.ConP or were char ge d un d er Peer Scat and Michaelo ; the following circumstances:— Mr. John Wordsworth Robson, residing at No. 2, King-street, Tower-hill, stat e d, on T uesday he was in the Crooked Billet public-house, wh en h e saw the two prisoners, who were drunk, trying to get over the bar counter. The landlord called for assistance, and witness with others interfered. The prisoners smashed a quan tity of glasses and broke two windows, and a dreadful riot ensued. Murray, the potman, confirmed this evidence, and added that the prisoners came in accompanied by two policemen who had been on duty at the Tower, and who behaved as bad as the two prisoners, encouraging them and fastc , ning the doors to prevent the police coming in. O'Connor was most violent. In answer to Mr. YARDLEY, this witness said the po licemen belonged to the II division, but he could not tell their numbers as their collars were turned down. Mr. Robson said one of them was a police sergeant, N. 5 IL Inspector Scott said an inquiry should be made into the sutnect. . YARDLEY said such conduct was most disgrace. ful. 11e should fine O'Connor 12s. for the damn le done, or five days' imprisonment, also ss. for being drunk, and for the di s t ur b ance he should require him to find sure to keep the peke foe three wale. Scott he THURSDAY should fine Gs. for the damage, 40s. for having assaulted t h e , waiter, and should require him to find sureties to keep' the peace for four months. CORONER'S INQUEST. On Tuesday an inquest was held by Mt. Baker, at the George the Fourth public house, Vincent-street, Old street-road, on view of the body of Caroline Lawson, a widow, found dead in a cab, and upon suspicion of causing whose death an Irishwoman named Moriarty, atias Mu earthy, is now under remand from Worship-street Police. court. Several additional witnesses were now examined, and their testimony tended to render the death of the de ceased even more mysterious and doubtful, if possible. than that before given. It was distinctly proved that the deceased nas perfectly sober and in sound health when she quitted her home at four o'clock on Saturday last; and it did not appear that she had either seen or spoken to the woman Macarthy since the preceding Tuesday (when Macarthy threatened to bo revenged upon her for turning her out of her house, in conse quence of her nearly biting a lodger's finger off) until about nine o'clock on Saturday night, when the deceased entered tne house of a publican with whom she was ac quainted, in Holborn, and was shortly after followed in mere by the prisoner Nlacarthy, apparently topacify and get rid of the latter, who was quarrelling with and at tempting to strike her; she called for some spirits, but drank none, and then left with a female friend, and went to another public-house, where they called for a pint of porter; but as :soon: as it was drawn Macarthy followed her in again, using most disgusting language, and swear in that she was determined to go to the deceased's house that night, although the latter refused to admit her, and the deceased accordingly quitted this public-house also, leaving the beer on the counter, without drinking any of it, and Macarthy remained behind. It was now about ten o'clock, and at that time We deceased and Macarthy entered a third public-house, in Gray's Inn lane, kept by a Mr. Jessamy, apparently on somewhat friendly terms, and there, as deposed by Mrs. Jessamy, the deceased only drank two very small drops of brandy diluted with water, and lett with Macarthy at ten minutes or a quarter past eleven, seeming quite sober then also About half an hour or three-quarters after that the two women, as stated by Mr. Puddick, the keeper of an eating-house in Smithfield, entered his house and called fur some soup and some eatables; but, though Macarthy devoured her share, the deceased ate nothing, but sat looking about her, and was shortly afterwards noticed by Mr. Puddick to be choking or strangling, and alto gether so dangerously ill that he carried her out into the street, and having placed her against the railings, ran in for a tumbler of water, on his return with which he found the deceased lying on her back on the ground, to which she had just been knocked, with a blow on the back of the head, by a man who was seen leaning over her, and suspected to have been attempting to rob her, and he ran away immediately he was spoken to, and some silver rolled out of the deceased's bosom. At the time that these distressing circumstances were occurring to her friend in the street, the prisoner Macarthy remained in the eating-house, never once inquiring about or looking after her, and displayed such heartless indifference to the woman's fate, that Mr. Puddick ran in, and, re proaching her for her conduct, desired that she would go out and see to her, on which the prisoner exclaimed that the deceased was an artful —, and nobody could do her any harm very easily. She did, however, at length go out, and after shouting for the police, using vile language, and conducting herself otherwise very in decorously, assisted in placing the deceased in a cab, which a youn g man named Thomas G ear i ng, w h o was accidentally passing, and recognised the d ecease d , pro cured fur the purpose, Gearing taking his seat on the box with the driver, and Macarthy riding inside with the deceased. On reaching two streets off the deceased's residence, the prisoner stopped the cab and got out, and just before doing so the deceased was observed to be sitting up in the cab, whether alive or dead was nut known, but on opening the door to lift her out, she was found to be a corpse, lying at the bottom of the cab, and with her head doubled up either against or under the seat opposite that on which she had been sitting. The evidence, which was so far as consecutive as could be expected, only went to prove that the deceased had partaken of nothing, since she was known to be perfectly sober at nine o'clock, but two small glasses of brandy, before spoken of, up to the time of her death ; but Mr. Coward, the divisional surgeon, now stated that he had performed a post mortem examination of the de. ceased's body, and on so doing had found the stomach nearly filled with porter, and the internal parts very flaccid and weak, and exhibiting signs of inflammation, in his opinion produced by the beer which had been imbibed, and the brain so much surcharged with blood, that he had no hesitation in saying—as there was no wound at the back of the head, on which the deceased had fallen when knocked down by the strange man in Smithfield, nor sufficient injury on any other part of the body to otherwise account for it—that she must have come by her death from apoplexy. Several of the jury with surprise remarked on the total discrepancy between the medical testimony and that given by the other witnesses ; and one in particular drew attention to the discolouration spoken to by the police as existing round the deceased's neck, as if pro duced by fingers ; but The CORONER said that this discrepancy between the medical and other evidence was of very frequent occur rence, and that it was impossible for non-medical persons to account for it ; and, having related several instances of a like description, which would be somewhat ludi crous if not arising from such serious occurrences as death from poison and such like events, expressed his opinion that the death was involved still in very great mystery, not unattended with suspicion ; and he would therefore advise the jury to return an open verdict, which would still leave a field for further investigation. The jury, after considerable consultation, ultimately coincided in this advice, and the verdict returned was, " That the deceased was found dead in a cabriolet, but by what means she so came by her death there was no evidence before the jury to prove." The inquest appeared to excite a great deal of interest, and the house where it was held was ineouvenientl) crowded towards its termination. HORRIBLE MURDER and SUICIDE. On Tuesday, between the hours of four and five, a fearful tragedy was enacted in Hickman's Folly, Ber mondsey, by which the whole of the neighbourhood ha, been thrown into a state of painful excitement. Th 4, f o ll ow i ng particulars connected with the distressinr , case have been obtained from persons residing in the house, and may therefore be relied upon as being strictly ac curate: — it appears that a cooper named Griffin resided with his wife and family at No. 6 in the Folly. For some ti m e past a daughter of Griffin's, a fine young woman. named Matilda, 19 years of age, had been correspond ing with a person named Henry Parker, about 21 year of age, who lodged in the same house. During the past few days Parker had accused the young woman of being attached to another person, and added, on more than one occasion, that rather than any one else should gain her affections, he would lay violent hands, not only on him self, but also on her. Nothing particular, however, was thought by her of the threat held out, but her mother had frequently cautioned her, and told her if she broke off the correspondence, to keep a wa y f rom hi m , as s h e feared he contemplated something dreadful. I 'During Tuesday the young woman was at home nearly the whole of the day, and Parker was noticed to go in and out of the house more than usual, yet nothing transpired during the morning to excite the suspicion:, of any party. About a quarter to four o'clock the young woman was singing, as she proceeded up stairs, the well known ditty, . There's na luck about the house, g e r e w ' s b n a at was luck aboutat a'," half nb afterwards the people living d nm b og y nahh, h e et l ea n e n tsl hearing yi loudhera.r hastened kcffie r idi e n p l e,usdp.i follow. v l ud A t b b e o About a a c n e part y s of the house.

A razor covered with blood was fount] lying by the side of Parker, with which the deed had beet, accomplished. There can be no doubt that the man first cut the young woman's throat, and afterwards added to his crime that of suicide. It is not a little remarkable that the unfortunat, woman, whilst talking to Mrs. Cremer, in answer to as, inquiry as to how she felt, said, " , Ohl pretty well ; b us I am going to have my thro at cut. She, no doubt, at that period alluded to some threat held out by Parker. The discovery in the first instance was made by Mrs. Griffin, who feeling suspicious at her daughter's being upstairs rather longer than she expected, went to look after her, when, on entering the room, she found the bodies as previously described. Mr. Superintendent Evans, of the M division of police, Sergeant Hormsby, and several officers immediately re paired to the place, and it was with the greatest diffi culty that the crowd, numbering several hundred per sons, could be kept from filling the house. The police, very judiciously, would not allow any one unconnected with the family to enter. The young man who committed the dreadful deed was in the linendrapery line, but his place of business could not be ascertained. The two bodies have beewho will keep possen in charge ess on by Mr of Slow, the coroner's officer, them until after the inquest is held, g, DISTRESSED NEEDLEWOMaN S SOCIETY. TUes da y a meetin con sisting c hiefly of ladies, supporter of this society, was held at the Hanover square Rooms. Lord Dudley Stuart (in the absence of the president, Mr. Alderman Fairbrother) took the chair. The hono rary secretary read a correspondence between the corn. mittee and Sir G. Grey, from which it appeared that the Right Honourable Gentlemen had refused an interview with a deputation who were to explain to him the great injury done to setupstresses by allowing shirts and other clothing to be made at the lowest rate in prisons and workhouses, and by sanctioning contracts for the making of the uniforms of the police, army, and navy at starvation wages. In his last answer, Sir G. Grey said that his predecessor in office, Sir James Graham, had in 1844 instituted an inquiry into the subject, and the re• sult was that the contract system was not to be inter fered with. The honorary secretary said that, had it not been for this system of low wage s, one firm in the City would have given remunerating emp l oy ment to 2,000 sempstresse s . Resolutions were passed in furtherauce of the objects of the society, and deprecating the refusal of Sir George Grey to listen to the representations of the committee. The chairman having received the usual f9arksio, tike meeting separated, MORNING, JULY 0, 1847. BANK RETURNS. Frora the London (Mzette of Tuesday.)
