Saba an Notice.

James LIST AND WILLIAM SAVILLE, gravediggers,
were brought before the magistrates, at the Illford
petty sessions, on Saturday, on remand, charged with
breaking into a vault under Christ Church, Stratford,
and stealing a copper coffin worth 10/. Since the
prisoners were last examined List has volunteered a
confession, and was on this occasion admitted as
approver, when he stated that himself and his fellow
prisoner had first taken the copper coffin, and after-
wards a leaden one, both of which were broken up
and sold. The proceedings are adjourned for a
month.
THURGOOD, THE SURGEON, AND RILEY, THE AGENT,
who have undergone several examinations at th 3
Guildhall on a charge of conspiring to defraud Mr.
Christie, a distiller, of Liverpool, of nineteen hogs-
heads and one puncheon of whisky, value 3001., were
committed for trial, on Saturday, by Alderman Sid-
ney, and bail refused.
THE FORTUNE TELLER, Ann Williams, has been
committed by Mr. Hammill, at Worship-street Police•
court, to take her trial at the next Middlesex
Sessions. A host of charges has accumulated against
the prisoner since her last examination, by servant
girls, impatient to know what shall be the colour of
their future husband's hair.
THE SHOCKING MURDER AND SUICIDE at Preston
has been investigated by the coroner's jury, and has
resulted in a verdict of temporary insanity. The facts
of the case as given in evidence were that Robert
Bond, a young man twenty-five years of age, who was
of dissipated habits, had conceived an attachment for
Miss Waiman, aged nineteen, which she did not
requite, and having probably maddened himself by
drink he shot her with a gun as she came out of her
father's door. The murderer then entered his own
house, which was next door, reloaded the gun, and
sitting down in a chair blew out his brains.

THE Trxxisa COINING CASES came on for trial at
the Birmingham sessions on Wednesday, before M.
D. Hill, Esq., Q.C., the Recorder. Thomas Moss
was indicted for conspiring with Antonio Calvoco-
reai
to defraud the Turkish Government by means
of certain counterfeit coin of that country called
piastres. The indictment contained two counts, the
first charging the prisoners with making the coin,
and the second with a conspiracy for the same pur-
pose. Mr. Adams and Mr. Motteram were for the
prosecution ; Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr.
O'Brien for the defence. The prisoner Calvocoressi
being a foreigner claimed his right to have a jury
composed partly of foreigners. No foreigners, how-
ever, having been summoned, the case against Moss
was taken first. The evidence having concluded,
the jury returned a verdict of guilty on the second
count against Moss. The recorder respited sen-
tence until next sessions. It was also agreed by con-
sent to postpone the trial of the prisoner Calvocoressi
until the same sessions. Both prisoners were admitted
to bail.

AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE was investigated at
Guildhall on Tuesday, before Aldermen Salomons
and Wilson, Mr. J. P. Brown, Secretary to the
National Brazilian Mining Association, having been
summoned to answer a charge of assault upon an
lash servant girl out of place, named Catherine
Pursell. She represented that the defendant had
enticed her into his office, in Throgmorton-street,
under pretence of finding her a situation ; but her
story was a perfect tissue of contradictions. The
complainant was supported in her charge by Richard
Am. or, a lawyer's clerk, whom she styled " her
friend," and who it seems has supported her for the
last three months. The evidence of the " friend,"
however, was anything but friendly to her cause.
Eventually the summons was dismissed, the
worthy alderman assuring Mr. Brown that be left
the court without the slightest imputation on his
character.

SUICIDE IN • VAPOUR BATH has beer the Rllbjec t
of a coroner's inquest held on the body of Miss
Leigh
Bunyon, aged forty-two, who was found dead
in one of the baths of the establishment, in St.
Mary Axe, on Friday, the Bth instant, under some-
what peculiar circumstances. From the evidence of
the attendants, it appeared that there was nothing
strange or excitable in the manner of the deceased
when she applied for the bath. She remained in
