' The prisoner had lived with the deceased for some year.,
and had bad children by her. He kept a little atop, and
she had received several hundred pounds under • legacy,
but he had treated her in • meet brutal manner at
different times. On the evening of Friday last she went to
the bowie al • friend of hers named Id 'Arthur in groat
alarm, and asked that person to accompany her home. The
friend did so, sod shortly after their arrival toe pramer
arrived home, and culled the friend frightful names. The
prisoner afterwards rushed at the unfortunate deceased,
and threw her violently on the floor, and the
friend, fearing the consequences, ran out of the house, and
made her way borne; but • neighbour, hearing the cries
of "Murder," weal over, and heard prisoner making
use of violent language towards the deceased, and saw
him with his baud up striking her, and heard him say,
" Now scream again, if you can," and the screams then
ceased. The next morning the surgeon was called in, and
the deceased found lying on the floor in a state of
nudity, to all e haring been dead about one
hoar. He (Mr.. eigh) should oely call sufficient edema.'
that day for a remand, and then ask that the prisoner, eh:,
was represented, in the absence of Mr. Edward Lewis, by

Femora M'Arthur, a widow, of 53A, Ilaryleboae lane—
I knew the deceased. On the evening of Friday last, she
came to my house about half-past 10. In consequence of a
request from her I aocompaisied her home. She was in a
state of great trepidation. About ten minutes after we ar-
✓ived, prisoner came in. He called me a bitch, and asked
why I came there! He got up mad laid bold of me as if hens
mad. I screeched out, and • man upstairs got out of bed. The
=serseized the deceased by the hair of her bead, lad
her down from the side of the bed to the floor with
the peatest violence. He then began to tear the deceased,s
elo Les off, but I got away as soon as I could. He had beaten
the deceased ebont while ca the door. The deceased cried
"Murder," and I escaped, and • lane mob collected round
the Oboe. A fortnight before he told me not to encourage
her as ray place. I told him that she said she would be
murdered, and that was the reason why I let her come, to
protect bor. He said he had broken three of her ribs, and
would break three more. He then asked me why I had
not kicked her out. I told him that I bed accompanied
her home because she bad money about her.
Mrs. Elizabeth Hudson Southgate, of No. 30, Warren-
street, Fitzroy-square, said—l know the prisoner, and also
knew the deemed by sight. There had after been rows
at the house and screams of " Murder." On the night in
I heard exits " Murder" from Mrs. Cakes, and
questionre across and knocked at the door. The prisoner opened
the window and asked who was there. I did not answer
his question, bat heard Mrs. Cotiere crying and calling for
Barilisighlr. —I believe that is her son.
Wiliam—The cries then got weaker. Before the window
was opened I heard prisoner say, " Halloo again if von can,*
sod the deceased did not halloo again bat cried. The arise
this got weaker.
Mr. Sleigh—Are you sure you heard the cry "Murder?
Witnew—l am positive.
Mr. Skugh—Did you hear anything like the sound of
blow, ?

did.
Mr. Sleigh—Wu there a crowd round the door!
Witham—There wee at fist, but the permits went ►way
when the cries reamed.

Mr. Sleigh Wen called
Mr. James Carly, of 130, King's-road, Chelaea, tailor,
who said—The decreased was my sister and her name was
Elizabeth Carly, but she was known as Mrs. Collar*. Ss
became pinewoods few months ago of a few hundred pomade
under a legacy and received it. I saw the body the next
morning, it is that of my sister.
Mr. Sleigh—Have you KIDD hair that was polled out of
her head and was found in the room in your possemion!
Witness—l hare. lam positive it re her hair.
Mr. John Wallis, surgeon—l was called in on Saturday
morningt having attended her a few weeks before for two
fractured ribs. I found the deceased lying on a couch. I
pulsed my band across bar face, and found that she was
dead, haul been dead about one hour. I understood ano-
ther man had previously been called io. I have
since made a post mortem examination and found the da-
mmed much injured.
Mr. Wallis then gave the result of his examination at
some length, the effect of it being that be was enabled to
state that deceased's death was caused by some blunt in-
strument, or from her head having been violently struck
several times against some kiwi substance, a pert of the
'maim being found covered with coagulated blood on the
skull cap being removed.
Mr. Sleigh--Wes there any fracture of the skull?
