She asked whether deceased was to be brought there. Mr.
Christie said, " No, certainly not." Witness asked for the
return of the note, but Mr. Christie " made derision at
her" and refused. Decreed had been ailing for three
months. She told witness that she had very
little to eat, sad that she bad not sufilaiset
food, and that she went without it to give
it to the children. The youngest child was
two years of age. On Saturday week she was removed to
her mother's. She kept repeating that she was dying of
starvation. She said that all her friends were monied
and that they left her to die of starvation. Witness did
know whether deceased had previously to the Saturday
applied for relief to the workhouse authorities. Witaim took
the note to tee workhouse about half Tait 4 o'clock.
By Mr. Howard—Witness did not know when the
order for medical attendance was obtained. It might have
been got at 2 o'clock. Mr. Christie came to gee deceased
about 7 o'clock. She was then in • neighbour's kitchen.
She was removed there bemuse she sad she wished to di*
there. The goods were then being removed from the shoopp
and the bones by the son and daughter of the decewd.
There was a van which wee pretty full.
By the Coroner —Demand knew the goods were being
removed. The stook was being removed. The family were
in armor of rent. She believed the landlord had totem'
her the rent.

14:tia14iim Smith. 25, Wellisiton-street, said that she
knew the demayaL Witness pre her food on last Friday
week. That was because deceased told her she was dying of
hunger. She was sot able to work. She was in a delicate
state of health for some time. On Saturday week one of her
children led her over to witaer's house. She said the came
there to die. She was Tote feeble, and could hardly
speak.. She had no fire in her own house. Witness
bad given her some coals ce the Friday. Wither
believed she was in extreme distress. She bed only
about 9a. a week to keep herself and nine children and to
pay rest. Wheels was afraid deceased would die. and she
wrote a letter to the workhouse and seat it by a little girl.
The note was brought hack again. It was a request for an
order for the parish doctor to attend • woman dangerously
ill, and it stated that the cam was on. of emergency. The
nor was seat et 1 o'clock on Saturday. Witness believed
that deceased died from starvation. Deceased often said,
"Did you ever know what it was to feel starvation?'
Eliza Smith, the daughter of the last witness, said that
she took the note to the workhouse, and she was seat to
Mr. Christie's private house. She was told by • lay there
to call at 5 o'clock.

—By Mr. ILward—Witness went .gain—at 2 o'clock—
to Mr. Christie's, and an order was given for the doctor.
Mr. Sincett, of Bell's.plsoe, Holloway, said he had advised
deoesaed to apply to the workhouse. One of her children
came to him on the Saturday, and she was then in a dying
state. Witness went to Dr. Moore at 6in the evening, who
said that be knew nothing of the case, but that his son had
attended her ia the morning. He got a letter from his son,
and visited dimmed, and the, gave witness a note, which
be took to the relieving ofeoer,`Mr. Christie, and ?equated
him to read it. Mr. Christie read the mote, and said
abruptly that he had nothing to do with the case, and that
the woman might go where her goods were going. Wit-
nen pressed for an answer, upon which Mr. Christie
ordered him to get out of his house. Witness
believed deceased died from starvation. He did not know
whether deceased bad made any application before the
Saturday. Witness wished to state that Mr. Christie, when
he ordered witness oat of the house, kicked his legs because
he did not go. (Sensation.) Witness said that perhaps be
might nave been in fault, because be kept the door from
being shut, while he was asking for en answer, but he acted
with no insoleooe whatever; he only asked for an answer
from Mr. Christie as an official.

Mr. Howard—Did you sot put your legs in the doorway
Coroner—He says hada so in order to get as answer.
Caroline Joann, daughter of the deceased, said that her
mother earned nothing. Winees woad 10s. a week, and
her next sister 4• • week. What her brother earned went
to pay the debt. The rent was 9s. a week, paid weekly.
None of the other children earned anything. The shop
made very little.
By the Coroner—Witness believed deceased died of a
broken heart, not of starvation. She bad all they (the
children) could give her, but she had not sufficient for a
sick woman. The goods were being removed because the
shop failed, and they wanted to get to a cheaper place.
Witness was out at work from 9in the morning until 6
I. the evening, and often leave.
By Mr. Howard—The goods were of no great value Wit-
ness asked a gentleman end be said he would not give U. for
the lot. No application for relief was made before the
Saturday.
Dr. F.. Moore, pariah medical officer, said that on War-
day week last he visited the deceased at about a quarter to
7is the evening, in sense sees of being Informed that an
order given by his eon had not been attended to. Witmer
then issued the following order :
" Urgeot.—Oct. 17.—1 hereby certify that I have exa-
mined C*roline Jame, and find bar in a delirious state from
privation aodi distress, said I advise that she should be im-
mediately admitted into the infirmary.
(Signed) ' Bow. Mom!, Surgeon.
"To Messrs. Connie, Sadler, and Runtime,
relieving officers, Betheallgreen Waldman."
Witless sent that ordsr by Mr. Sinnott, but it was not
meted upon.
Dr. is. U. Wallace said that he was celled to deoeseed
on Wednesday morn sad at first his assistant attended.
She was deeding,
when witness saw her. She was much
emacia;ed. The post nor tern examination proved that the
lungs ware effected. There wee consumption, and the heart
was thin. The stomach and intestine' were distended with
pa, and presented no trace or remains of food whatever.
I There was a mark of congestion ori the stomach from gastric
juice. showing the Ammo* of food. The blood was this,
and the intestines and viscera were bloodier, which showed
that the stemma of food bad been of some duration. He
should say that there bad been no solid food for some days.
She must have been suffering from want of food for linger
than some week& The liver was nearly whit* from
want of blood. He should say that the mese of
death was consumption, accelerated by west of food
and proper are and attendance. Dr. Moore and
Dr. Owen sedated at the post mortem examination.
Dv. Moore, recalled, said that he entirely concurred
in the testimony of Dr. Wallace. There was evidence in
the body of long costumed 'dentition.
Mr. Charles Christie, relieving officer, was then axe-
=load b Mr. Howard—The first applications*, made to him
on the y, about ludflian 5 o'clock, by a female,
who brought the following sate from Mr. Moore, jun. :
"1 agility that I summed Caroline James, and that
she is in a declining sate, and requires more attendance
than she is able to get at home.
(Signed) " E H. Moose jun.
" The conveyance to be sent for her."
Witness said that be could not take any order from Mr.
Moon, jun as he was not in any way commend with the
parish, and that the woman was sprinkle patient. He went
downs the omens and saw the family were 'movie*, and
he mid—Well, wherever the goods ere going to let the good
woman be taken to. He would have inquired and given an
order for relief, but that the family were removing to Hack-
ney. It vs/ not be it was his daughter that pee the order
at 2 o'clock for Dr. Moore to attend Mrs. James. His
daughter did not tell him she gave the order for his at-
tendasoe.
The Coroner then summed up, and mid that though Mr.
Christie mid that he believed the certificate about Km
James was one about a private patient of Mr. Moore, jun.. it
was distinctly sworn that the woman who took it told him
that it was sot ea order about& private but a perish patient.
Dr. Moore =planed that hie son attended solely because
be (Dr. Moore) and his deputy were both out attending other
patients.
The Coroner said that the evidence clearly proved that
deceased died from consumption, and that her death was
eseslerated by waat of food and care. After the junior Mr.
Moore's ontilloate was shown in vain to tin relieving officer,
Mr. Sinnott took a certificate from Dr. Moore to him,
elating that the deceased was delirious from privation, and
it nothing was does for her, or attempted to be dose.
I That fact was sot denied. It was for the jury to say
1 whether the relieving aim had or had not been guilty of
Leber in the matter,
The jury then deliberated for some time, and returned the
fellowieg special verdict :—" We lied that death resulted
from ooasemptioo. accelsrated by want of food, end we con-
sider that great blame is dee to the relieving officer of the
palatal Betlinelpess."
The proosediap thee israziaated.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Wore Mr. COMMIII6OIIIIIf Goalbure.)

A bankrupt beeriiiitiiiceir;brarei;;;. applied for his

of Cares/vow, segusesr.
Yr. Ohidley supported the application.
There vas no oppositroo. The detainiog creditors woo

Hie Hooom granted the release.

This was smother application for retest*. It appearing
that the bankrupt was in custody under process of the
county eoart, bas Bosom said be bad no jurisdiction in
such owes sad Amid decline to bear the applioation. The
bankrupt is a baptist minister, late of Chatham, Plumsteed,
and Maidstone ; he was also described as a newspaper pro.
prietor.
Mr. Doris contended th►t ere•y bankrupt who bad mt.
rendered was entitled to protection, airs io the cases
exoepted is the 112th section.
His Honour said this only applied to proms is matody
far (MK This man was not is custody I. any moss or
suit, but for contempt of the county mark Could the
lammed weasel .bow a ems when a bankrupt who bad
surrendered, obtaiaed protection, and bean subsequently
arrested, had bees released by thin court as a matter of
course ?

Doris refund to the cue of " Fresetoa," which de.
Wad that a bankrupt who bad °lambed his protection
could, if a polar refused to release him, apply to any
court that was sitting for that purpose. This pre the court
ample jurisdiction to release the bankrupt. A contempt foe
son-payment of money bad been held to be a debt, and oft
this ground the court had power to relines. Bee "In re
/Moser" decided by Mr Commiesiooer Fonblanque.
His Honour, after referring to the oases cited, said it
was quite true that • person who was in custody
wader an attachment for contempt, which might be
purged by the payment of money, was really in cus-
tody for debt but this was the case of a man who, it
was alleged, bad been improperly arrested after protection
was granted ; and in all sock owes the application must be
made by babas corpus to the superior courts. This court
had no right to set aside • proems of one of the superior
courts; and in the ease of commitment by • county
court, the power of imprisonment was given as •
punishment of debtors for not obeying the order of the
court. The payment was generally directed to be made by
instalments, and in that respect differed entirely from an
attachment. Very likely this might be a wrongful street,
but the proper course would be to apply to one of the
superior courts.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(THIS DAY.)

The October session of this mart was opened this morn.
leg by the Lord Mayor, the Common Serjeent, Alderman
Balky, Alderman Gibbose, sad Alderman Lusk, Mr. Sheriff
Nimes, Mr. Sheriff Cave, the sewlyappotsted sheriffs for
the arming civic year, Messrs. Nicholson and Gammon, the
under-sheriffs, &c.
The first edition of the calendar coutales the names of
118 milkmen-99 males and 19 females. There is only one
mos of wilful murder—that of Sarah Emily Mitchell for the
murder of her child ; and the greet majority of the other
charges in the calendar appear to be of an ordinary
character. _ .

The Common fierjeant, in his charge to the grand jury,
congratulated them upon the nature of the charges in go.
nerd not being of a very serious character. These were
two eases which involved the Foes of human life ; but be wee
glad to find that the offences were not committed by the
persons charged with any malice aforethought, and merely
amounted to manslaughter. In the first case. that in which
the prisoner was charged with manslaughter, it appeared
that the prisoner and depend were in a public-house, and a
quarrelenaned.whieh isoded in a fight, daring which deceased,
who was intoxicated, fell several times, and the next morn-
ing be was found dead. The medical testimony went to
show that death was mimed by the fall which he had had
during the fight on the previous night, and it would be for
the jury to say whether or not this fact was made oat to
their satisfaction. The other charge of umaislaughter was
against a woman, who, it appeared, lodged in the same,
house as the dec:esed. A few days previous to the occur-
rence the prisoner threw some water out of bar window over
a woman with whom the deceased mac was cohabiting ; and
of the night in question, at about 12 o'clock, some words
arose, and deceased told the prieoner.who was using very eters,
and abusive language, that he wanted no piece of work with
her,but would settle her by taking out a sum mousagainat her.
The prisoner made a rush at him, and struck him in the
chest with both her fists, knocking him backwards against
the table. The prisoner went away, and deceased turned
very pale and trembled very much, and said the prisoner
bad frightened him. After that be vomited a quantity of
blood, and continued to do so until the Thursday following,
when he died from loss of blood, which the medical evi-
dence went to show was caused by a violent blow upon the
pit of the stomach, sad it would be for the grand jury to
may whether they were of opinion the injury was inflicted
by the prisoner. There were two cases which did not
involve the Ices of life, although they amounted to an
attempt to murder. In the first case the prisoner had
quarrelled with his wife, and was beating her, when her
non by a former husband interfered, on which the
prisoner assaulted him. His wife then interfered between
them, and received a stab from the prisoner. The other
charge was against a woman for attempting to drown her
child. The prisoner was seen in the neighbourhood of the
Regent's Canal, illusing her child. and some witnesses fol.
lowed her a far as the bridge across the canal, where she
rained the child and threw it over the parapet. A witness who
was close by caught the child as the prkioner threw it, end se
prevented ita going into the water. The Common Serjeant said
although the child had not actually gone into the water, still
there was water enough to drown it if it had done so ; and if
they were satisfied that the prisoner threw the child with the
intent to throw it into the water, she was just as guilty of
the attempt as though it bad not been prevented. He then
alluded to several caws in which the prisoners were charged
with offences upon women and children ; and concluded by
