CRUEL TREATMENT OF A WIF6.—On Saturday a
long inquiry tqpk place before Mr. Baker, et the Queen's
Head, Elect-street, Bethnal-green, on view of the body of
Sarah Parrott, aged 38, who sou !alleged to have died in
consequence of several brutal and savage assaults upon her ,
by her husband, and of starvation. Elizabeth Heed, a '
married woman, No. 16, George-street, the landlady, said '
that deceased and her husband resided in the garret. He
had been a master butcher, but was latterly a huckster of
meat and oz-tails in the street. Winn, saw the deceased
the last time on Tuesday morning, when she came down to
witness in the parlour. She had a quantity of hair in her
hand, and she stated that it had been pulled out of her head
by her husband, who had been dragging her about the
room, and while on the floor he struck her about the head.
Her face was rad as from blows. On Wednesday morning,
about *even o'clock, witness was alarmed by hearing the
deceased screaming, " Murder." There was a constant
disturbance from that time till half-past nine o'clock,
when her streams were dreadful. She was calling upon
some one to assist her. She was not heard of after that.
I :thou 6 o'clock her husband called witness to go to his
wife' saying that he did not know what was the matter
with her. She proceeded to her room, and found her lying
upon a mattress having a hit of quilt as her only covering.
She was dead, and appeared to have been so for some con-
siderable time. He observed that he spoke to her only two
minutes before to have her tea, when she said—" I do not
know where I am." He had only, he observed, a few
minutes previously lighted the tire ; but witness saw that it
had been lighted some time. Two months ago deceased
was in witness's room, when she was polled out by her hus-
band by the hair of her head, at the same time striking her,
and he threatened to strike witness for interfering. Wit-
ness has heard him remark, that he would jump her soul
out, and he constantly used the most awful expremioce
toward, her. She has often stated to witness, that she was
ifraid he would sows day murder her. Latterly witness has
beard her frequently screaming.—Mr. John God frey, Mount-
place, Whitechapel, said that he had made • post-mortem
examination, and found coagulated blood under the scalp
on the left which was the effect of some vessels having
been torn. That might have occurred by the deceased
having been dragged by the hair of the head. The lungs
were blacker than usual, as if from pressure. The body
was emaciated, and the stomach was smaller than usual,
showing that it had not been distended with food for some
time. The peritoneum tiovering was separated flout the
liver, as if it had been caused by the deceased basins: been
• ragged. tinder the liver was oleo a bruise. Death was
the effect of the injuries she received in her emaciated state.
The injury oa the head was not by • fall, but from the cause
he had stated. The hair being pulled would he likely to
cease the vessels to be torn. The coroner observed that,
though there was no moral doubt of the conduct of the hue-
baud, yet he thought there was not sufficient evidence to
entwine a conviction before a higher tribunal. Verdict—
" That the deceased's death was the effect of violence, but
how caused there was not sufficient evidence to show." The
husband wee called in, and was told that it was owing to the
merciful consideration of the jury he was not sent to a higher
tribunal. He was severely reprimanded.
THE AUSTRIAN OOTEENMENT has ordered that
when serious accident* shall occur on any of the railways
helongine to the State,a daguerreotype shall be immediately
taken of the train, in order to facilitate the investigation
into the causes of the accident. For this purpose the
daguerreotype apparatus is to be sent to all the stations.
This system has already been adopted in Prussia with
marked adventure.
THE News Comrosrroes.--On Saturday evening
last a meeting of cempositors employed en morning and
evening newspapers took place at the Falcon Tavern,
Genth-square, for the purpose of presenting a testimonial
to Mr. A Mason, their late secretory, on the evasion of hie
leaving England for Melbourne South Australia. The
memorial consisted of • very handsome silver inkstand, on
which was engraved the following inscription : " Presented
to Mr. Alfred Mason (late secretary), by the compositors
of the News Branch of the Ludes sflociety, as • small
token of their esteem, mad is recognition of the efiteiest dis-
charge of the duties of his Gees, hie comesteat advomsy of
the right* of his profession, and his untiring seal in pro-
moting its interests. Dee. 11,1&S2."
VALUE OF LAND IN AND NEAR LONDON.—We may
mention, as illustrating the subject, that we have just now
negotiated the sale of a plot of land in Brampton, adjoin-
ing the chureh, ender 31 acres in extent, for which we re-
ceived 16,0001, nor would we have consented to oar
principal's accepting any less sum. To show the degree in
which the value of land near London has increased, we may
mention what we are told is the fact, that leas than Mlyean
ago the whole of the land on which Brompton-square
stands, clove to the last-mentioned plot, and double is
quantity, was offered for sale at 3,0001. The Menem in
the value of land in the City is even more startling—for
example, an offer of 16 guineas per annum per foot front-
ewe ha, wen made (not yet accepted) for land about 24 feet
deep in Finch-lane and Threwinemfe-street, belonging to
St. Thomas's Hoopitsl. TAe Builder.
THE ANDES.—Tho screw steamer, Andes, which
sailed from Liverpool for New York on Wednesday last,
pat back again, maul reached the Meney early on Sunday
morning after having experienced very severe weather, in
which she had her bulwarks stove in and carried away, lost
her figure head, and sustained damage to her rigging.
