THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 6, 1862.

from him. She was afraid that if he face Ott —her home
that he would again sell it off.
Mr. D'Eyncourt inquired if the applicant left her hus-
band's house of her own accord, or did be desert her?
The applicant said she went because there was no furni-
ture in the house.

Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did he tell you to go ?
The applicant replied in the negative. He did not tell
her to go to service, but she went because ate wished to
support herself and her family.
Mr. D'Eyncourt said it was important that it should be
known that when a wife left her husband of her own ac-
cord, or when they separated by mutual consent, the ma-
gistrate could not grant en order for the protection of the
wife's property. This case appeared to be a hard one, and
he was sorry that he could not grant the order; but he
should advise the applicant to apply to the Divorce Court.
The applicant left the court in tears.

WORBHiP•STREBT.
STABBING.

Georg Bishop, a tall; gauit fellow, was charged with
feloniously wounding Alice Hill.
The prisoner bad been cohabiting with the woman, and,
as generally is the case in such Mailman' the present, she
refused to appear against him. Summonses were therefore
ordered for the attendance of herself sod a witness. She
now appeared in court, with an hospital bandage round her
head, and a medical certificate was produced, showing
that she bad received an incised wound there. This was
her evidence—l have lived with the prisoner three years.
Last night he came home drunk—l mean a little tipsy. I
exasperated him about something and he struck me ; he got
me down on the floor and hit me, but not with a knife —oh
' dear no. They said at the hospital it was a wound with a
knife. That was wrong. I think it was done with •
tool—no, the milk pot. My head did bleed certainly —it is
cut about a little. He is a sober and industrious man and
very kind to me. I don't wish to hurt him. He has beaten
me before, I think.

Mr. Safford, the clerk, had the greatest difficulty in ex-
tracting this testimony from the woman, who manifestly
had suffered severely from the injury.
Mary Ann Jackson—l lodge in the same house as Mrs.
Bishop(last witness). Late last night I heard screams of "Mur-
der" from her room. I went there. She was on the door,
but I didn't know her at the time for she was smothered with
blood. The prisoner was kneeling upon her, and on seeing
roe said, " I'll serve you the same if you come near me.
I didn't see anything in his hand. I didn't see him strike
her. The police came and she staggered to a doctor, who
immediately seat her to the hospital.
The further evidence went to show that the prisoner
escaped horn the house where this outrage was committed,
and which is in Bacon-street, Spitalfields, but that he was
met in the street by a constable shortly afterwards, who
apprehended him upon information given that he bad
stabbed a woman. Not any knife was found.
A remand was ordered.
GREENWICH.

LEAVINO-800P KEEPERS AND THE POOR.-800 PER CM.

INTEREST.

Robert Wooldridge, of Kin-burn-street, Rotherbithe, ap-
peared to an information at the instance of the Commis-
sioners of Inland Revenue, charging him with carrying on
the business of a pawnbroker without being duly hcensed,
whereby he had incurred a penalty of 501.
It appeared that in consequence of letters which bad
been received by the government authorities that the
defendant was =vying on the business of what is
termed a " leaving shop," an officer named Cook was
sent, on the 17th October last, to the shop, with
articles to pledge. On entering the chop be saw defendant's
wife, and handed to her a bundle, containing a frock,
• bedgown, two petticoats, and a pair of socks, and asked
her if she would take in the parcel. She replied in the
affirmative, and defendant asked for an advance of Is.,
which was handed to him, the defendant's wife ingniring his
name and writing it on a ticket, which ticket was pinned
on to the bundle. Cook then left, and six days afterwards
he returned to the shop, when the bundle was restored to
him on payment of the shilling advanced, and twopence in-
terest.

The defendant pleaded that his wife conducted the bug-
nem of a general dealer, and that goods were bought when
brought to the shop, but re-sold to the persons to whom
they originally belonged if not disposed of previous to their
applying for the same.
Mr. Maude said the defence set up, independently of the
evidence given for the prosecution, rendered the defendant
liable to a conviction, the words of the act of parliament
being, " Every person shall be considered • pawnbroker
who purchases any goods with an agreement or under-
standing that such goods may be afterwards re-pur-
chased back again." There could be no doubt what-
ever the defendant carried on the business of a " leaving
shop," where an exorbitant rate of interest was charged, in
the present instance nearly 800 per cent., twopence being
charged fora loan of • shilliog for six days, where a regu-
larly licensed pawnbroker could only have charged one half-
penny interest for • similar loan for a month. His worship
then imposed the mitigated penalty of 121. 10s. and costa,
and in default of payment • distress warrant to issue.

LIFE AND DEATH IN SHOREDITCH.

SPECIAL VERDICT.

---- •
An inquiry was beld by Mr. H. Raffles Waltbew,
at the Black Horse Tavern, Kingsland- road, late last night,
respecting the death of Martha Hoirsh, aged 74.
The deceased was the widow of a fumer at 32, Willow-
street, Shoreditch, in a room with another woman. Her
sole means of living were Is. fet per week, and a loaf
of bread from the Union. lier son had sometime
since allowed her Is. per fortnight, but he discontinued
that allowance, and she fell into great penury. On
Wednesday morning she died suddenly. Mr. Waller,
the coroner's officer requested Mr. Fildew, the relieving
officer of St. Leonard's, to remove the body, so that the
other woman, Mra. Sarah Files, might not have to sleep with
the corpse. Mr. Fildew merely replied, "Let the woman put
I out her fire" (it had been laid that typhus fever might
be the remit if the body was left where a bre was). Mrs.
Files had 000sequently to live with the corpse, and the
room being smelt, she had to lean over the corpse to do her
coking and poke the fire. At night she slept on the boor
beside the corpse, which occupied the only bed.
The jury indignantly asked Mr. Fildew how be would have
liked himself to sleep with a corpse, and be replied that
was quite a different thing. He had not transgressed the
law. It was not part of his instructions to remove the
body. Even had it been removed to the dead house, it
might ham calmed (typhus fever Ito have broken out.
(Ltlghter')

DrTheoOard raid that there was no fear of contagion, as
the dead-hoagie was 0120 of the bed-constructed in London.

The coroner said the relieving officer s conduct was dis-
graceful ; and that though he might have been acting ac-
cording to the strict letter of the law, he bad been guilty
of groat inhumanity.
The jury returned a verdict, "That the deceased died
from extravaaation of blood on the brain, and that the jury
consider the conduct of Mr. Fildew most unfeeling and
request the corooar to bring the facts and this verdict to
the notice of the board of guardiana"

Lord Feversham has (says the Yorkshire Gazette)
presented his celebrated bull, Skyrocket, to the Leeds
Lancashire Committee. The bull will at once be sold, and
the proceeds added to the fund for the relief of the dis-
tressed.

PORTSMOETII.—We regret
to learn that Admiral Sir Henry Bruce, K.C.8., Naval
Commander-in• Chief at Portsmouth, in consexplence of his
extreme ill state of health, has written to the Admiralty
requesting to be superseded, feeling himself quite incompe-
tent to the performance of his duty. Should the gallant
admiral's request be complied with, Vice-Admiral Sir
Michael Seymour, K.C.8., will. we understand, be ap-
pointed to succeed hint. —Unikd Service Gazette.
GREENWICH HORPITLL SCHOOL.—ME. George S.
Bourne, naval instructor, R.N. 1844, lately serving in the
Excellent, at Portsmouth, has been appointed head master
of the nautical school at Greenwich, in the place of Mr.
John Riddle, F.8.G.5., deceased.

THEATRICAL MIRRILOL—On Monday last, by
license, at St. George, Bloomsbury, Mr. George Howarth
Weston, the youthful comedian of the Lyceum Theatre, to
Mies Louise Laidlaw, the fascinating and promising young
actress.—Nro.

A CLERGYMAN IN A New CHARACTER.—Last
Monday, a prisoner was taken to the county gaol at Glouces-
ter ; as soon as he was inside the outer door the policeman
took off his handcuffs, and the lodge-keeper not having bad
time to lock the door, the fellow bounded through
the opening with the agility of • deer. Of
Connie there was immediate pursuit, but two
policemen who were present were so startled that they were
unable to get up speed, and the few bystanders contented
themselves with calling "Stop thief,' and admiring the
agility of the runaway, who speedily can through Barbican-
lane to the docks, and mule for the river. At this moment
the Rev. Aspinall Dudley, the gaol chaplain, came up, and
hearing the cry of " Stop thief," joined in the race. It
happens that the rev. gentleman is a good example of a
"muscular Christian," as well as of the other Christian
virtues, and thus, though the runaway was fleet, he was
speedily coursed down by the chaplain (who also happens to
be chaplain of the Engineer Volunteer Corps). who seized
him behind intim most approved garottiug fashion, rendered
him powerless, and turning him round, marched him back
towards the preion and banded him over to the police.
Some bystanders declared they never saw • Eimer flat race.—
Bristol Mercury.
HIGHWAY HORBERY.—On Saturday evening lasts
about five o'clock, as Mr. Timm, traveller for Mr. Newton,
of Coxhoe, near Durham, was returning home from his
journey amongst the colliery villages, where he had col-
lected a considerable sum of money, he was attacked by
• man on the road between Kelloe and Coxhoe. The
ruffian sprang from the hedge side—which caused Mr.
Timm'a home to swerve—and, hurling a large stone, it
struck the gentleman on the shoulder and rolled him from
his seat. In an instant he was upon Mr. Timm and,
thrusting his band into his hair, proceeded to beat his
head upon the ground, and made an attempt to rifle his
pocket' ; but before he eould complete that operation Mr.
Timm put his hand into his breast pocket and drew out his
revolver, which he discharged. This caused his assailant to
quit his hold, and no doubt finding that he was likely to get
the worst of the encounter, be made a precipitate retreat
over the hedge. Mr. Timm fired another shot after him,
and retraced his steps to Kelloe, where he gave information
to the police.—Sunderland

MINES.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'OLooz.

The operations in the mining market to-day are
almost solely confined to Rost Caradon shares,
which, owing to their scarcity, have advanced
to 37. The prices of other British mining securities
may be considered nominally the same as at the
clew yesterday. In the Stock Exchange transac-
tions are officially recorded in East Caradon at
374 and 37 ; North Downs, 2a ; and Wheal Lud-
cott,
Foreign and colonial mining shares are quiet.
East del Rey have been dealt in at I prem. ; St.
John del Rey at 584, and Worthing at 4.
The subjoined weekly summary of the metal
market is from Messrs. Von Dadelszen and North :
The metal market during the pad week has shown a little
improvement in some branches of the trade, though in others
we have the reverse still to report. Towards the end of the
year it often happens that operations are restricted, and the
present season seems likely to afford no exception to the
rule. Welsh bars remain firm at 51,15 e. to 51. 17a. 6d., free
on board in Wales ; the demand, however, is not very brisk.
The price in Loudon is 61. 51. to 61. 7s. 6d. Staffordshire
iron is pretty steady. Scotch pig iron tuts not fluctuated at
all since our last report ; we quote cash parcels 55e. 9d. to
56e. ; three months prompt, 565. 9d. Copper is decidedly
dull, and there is no difficulty in buying below fixed quota-
tions; sheets and sheathing, 100. to 101 d. Raw copper
is also offered below official pries'. Foreign has
been neglected ; sellers of Barra, 103/. ; Kapunda, 1011.,
nominal; Spanish, 901.; Chili, 88/. Yellow metal
sympathises with the copper market, and can
also be obtained under official quotations. Tin--
Since the arrival of the last China mail we have bad a
very firm market, and a good business his been done in
Straits at advancing prices,: 117/., has been paid for Straits
cash, 1181. for full prompt. This price was also paid for
100 tons afloat, with further buyers. Banat is firmer and
held for 119/. The Dutch market has advanced to 69f. ;
English is also in better demand. Tin-plates are steady at
previous quotations, but few fresh contracts are entered
into. Lead is very firm ; good soft English 20/. 15/. to
211. 55., aooordiug to brand ; WB, 21!. 15e. Speller has
improved fully 7s. 6.1. per ton. Business done to some ex-
tent at 181., closing firm with buyers at this price, sellers
limited 181. se. Hull parcels command 181. to 18/. 55.,
according to brand.
