money she possessed—namely. £1 2... 24.. in herpetticoat,
and stowed it away sonic distance from the :Jed. On
returning to town inspector Dann, on searching among
the prisoner's papers, found the policy of an insurance
effected by him on the life of Miss Mary Wells Streeter
for 1.1110. payable to him on her death. The insurance
was 'greeted at the Argue 'Ace, Throgmorton-street,
and it.. policy was dated on the 2.1.0 of Jnly, just
six days before the murder. From sulteequent inquiries
it has heel. found that at the general quarter sessions,
hel.l at St.trortl on the sib day of March, 111.11, the
prisoner, Witham Godfrey Youngman, had been tried
hi:.l convicted of stealing a qnsutity of plate belong-
ing to his :neater. Mr. J. Keefe, a Staffordshire
gentleman, and sentenced to 12 months' hard labour.
This imprisonment he servol in the county gaol,
end was discharged in March hat. He then came
lii town, and procured a aituati ~,, at Dr. Duncan's,
llenrietta-atrect. Covent-gardeu, by a false (character,
or rather false representations, and was discharged from
there in the beginning of the hit month, when lie
renewed his acquaintance with Miss Stmeter. On
Friday, the body of the poor girl was removed from
Newington Workhouse, in a good elm coffin, to Wad-
hurst, to be interred alongside the re 1111 l irs of her
sister, who died bat • few weeks since of cc:lleum:dim.
The lushes of Mrs. Youngman and her two eons are
ill at the workhouse, in coffins, and are intended for
interment on Wednesday (yesterday). The prisoner,

At the adjonthed inquest on Monday last the jury,
after deliberating a few iiiiiuuites, returned a verdict of
" Wilful Murder" against William Godfrey Youngman
in each case.

William Godfrey Younguian was further examined
at the !mullet police Court on Tuesday last, and fully
c 1111 l witted to take his trial for wilful murder. Time pri-

Spice. particularly that part of it where he said lie did
not like his (Youngman'im)appearance, and that he would
...nee see her 'Mimi Streetto) take a rope and hang
herself than have anything to do with him, and the un-
mistakable feeling expresaed by those in the court when
lie aaid hie mother did it, and that he had only killed her
in self-defenee, haul a marked effect upon him. His
step was much less firm, in fact, he aceineul relieved on
reaching the cell, and At once threw himaelf on the seat.

his broitior John, and when asked if he wished to see

in the yard, he replied lie only wished to see his

liatener to what para.ml, an the Intoner Acarcele ad-

' gton-lane station, and, muldreseing a constable there,
expressed a particular desire to gee the accused, and be
present at Ilia exam ii ill ation. She was told by the
iifficer that the examination would be on time following

most likely she could. On Tuesday morning she again
made her appearance, and being admitted to Cook, the
gaoler, on seeing that officer she expressed an anxious
wish to see the primmer. She did not conceal her rea-
son for wishing to see him. On the contrary, she at
once said die bail been engaged to him in marriage. that
the tennis haul been put up, but circumstances at the
Bete prevented their marriage, and she had lost sight of
him for come tinie. She exhibited the likeness with
which the prisoner had ',melded her with, and said that

told her she should think herself very fortunate in escap-
ing such a person, and that Ahe About.: see the priaoner

would satisfy her. Before the exat ll ill ation she took her

and with her back to the latter, and eat out the
whole of the proc,mdings. She seemed much
affectael during the bearing. In conversation she ad-
omitted Am had not Youngman as a fellow-servant some '
two years ago ; that they became lovers, and that in

treated her with the mamma kindness, and haul a lodging
procured for her at lti 111 l Ingham. The prisoner at that
time prumented to her that he had £7O in cash saved
up, and that after their marriage they should at once

for their marriage at St. Martin's, Birmingham, but
actually purchased the wedding ring. As the welling
day approached Youngman helped himself to a quantity
