MURDER OF A FEMALE BY HER HUSBAND.

Yesterday, et the Marylebone Police Court, Wil-
liam Styleo. a horse, keeper, was charged with the murder
of Natty Styles. his wife. The prisoner, who lives over •
stable in 0 room at Ifs. Victoria •mews, St. John's Wood,
seemed guar unconcerned at the serious situation is which
he stood. Ile is • man apparently about 45 years of age.
Ilampsen, 210 D, said—Yesterday morning, at a quarters
past 2, the prisoner came up to me in Salisbury.streot, Lie
suainive, as I was on duty, and stood iu front of me for a
short time without speaking, looking all the while full at
me in the face. I said to him, "Do you wont se r and
he at length replied, " Pulicein in, I wish yea Se is with
se up here iuto the snows, for my wife irdesd. sad ohs Is
cold, with Wood all over her." I asked when
had seen her last alive, and he said " At mess
o'clook last night." I sod, " Have not you aeon bee
sines that ?" and he replied, " :Sot till just now, whoa I
went in and found her dead. I went home at nine o'clock,
at which time she was out, and I endeareuelld to find her,
but could not do so." Ile seemed agitated. I went with
him to 16, Victoria-mews, with other officers, when he went
into • loft and there lighted a candle, after which we went
iuto his roses. The door was shut, bat not locked. De-
ceased was lying on the bed with her hands folded sages
her breast ; 1.:;? mouth and eyes were partly open, and
then was blood issuing from her left ear. She was entirely
naked with the exception of her boots and stockings, and
we. lying eat upon her back. The bedclothes had been
throws loosely over her. I looked about the room, and on
the left side of the bed there was a gnat quantity of blood.
There was also blood upon the flour, cud marks thereof
spattered on the wall. On the right arm of deemed was a
mark as if she had been held tightly, and there were lager
marks upon Ler throat. Her legs, from her ancle to her
knee, exhibited • complete mass of tuts and bruises, such
as I should think very likely to have been caused by kicks
from a person with nailed boots. Tlis re was • great deal of
blood ea the prisoner's cloths., and on my asking him how
it mum there, he replied, " It was through my leaning over
the hid Mate Hobe we. eold or not." I then told his he
must eonaider hi self in my custody on suspicion of canes
lag the death of his wife. He said," Very well," sad he
was seareysd I. the station-house.
Mr. Broughton—Which of you three officers weal isle the
reels first p
Witham-A did, your worship.
Mr. Broughton—When prisoner took you with the lighted
candle, did be point out the body, or make any Tessa& re-
specting it ?
Witams—No ; I polled down the clothes myself. He said
sees word.
