Mr. Newton said that OR the last application of the men THE SUSPICIOUS OCCURRENCE AT MILE-END.

therefore he did not expect to hear anything more about it.
Mr. /limber thanked his worship for the courtesy with

BOUTHWABX.
Mr. Joseph Brown, the secretary of the Friend is Need
Newington Benefit Society, was summoned Wen Mr.
Burehsm, by Henry Bowler, a free member, for refusing ,
and neglecting to pay him 3/., six weeks' sick Pg.
alleged to be due to him according to the rules of the
society.

The fallowing are some additional and later particulars of
the above affair :

The complainant said that he had belonged to the /WW)
WOW time, and had paid all dues. In the early part of June
he lost his eyesight. and declared on the funds of the
society. The defendant only paid him far four days, and
he now claimed six weeks' pay, wkich was due to him op to
the time he declared off.

The oirewnstessees of this extnicedinery ease are dill in-
volved in mystery, although the authorities have been un-
tiring in their effort" to discover the motivee for the sum-
mission of the mime by which it is supposed that the two
eiders, Frisbees Backingliain and Mazy Ann Gribbin, lost
their lives.
When the fad of the finding of the dead bodies of the
two weirs was communicated to the coroner for the die-
Mr. John Ilusiplz, that official forthwih pro-
cetrict,eded to the house, No. 2 Albert Cottages, Deal-tetresti
where they lay, and ca a mod careful examination
of the premises to be made under his personal supervision.
The carper were still in the rtrange positions in which they
had been originally discovered, and it was noticed that the
clothes of Mn. Buckingham were diserranged and were
thrown up above her knees. She WY lying between the
door and the body of Mrs. Gribbin, which was in • kneeling
position at the sofa. 'The general appearance of the room
indicated that • struggle of some sort bad taken place. A
hatchet lay near the head of Mrs. Backinghans, but it had
no appeanuice of having been used as a weapon ; bat some
dinner knives and an open pocket-knife, which together
with • broken lemonade bottle and • broken candlestick
lay scattered about on the carpet, seemed obviously to have
been need as missiles. It was also observed that the front
of Ars. Gribbin's dress was dragged from the neck, appe-
really by • sudden and vigorous pull.
A minute search was made for letters or other documents
' which might throw any light upon the relation of the par-
ties one to the other, but without =COWL Several menu-
script books were found in drawers and upon shelves, but
they related entirely to business matters, and the most care-
. fill examinatios failed to discover any papers or entry having
reference to the matter under inquiry.
The coroner immediately ordered that • post-mortem
examination of both bodies should be made without delay.
Accordingly Dr. W. Layton, of Brick-lane, &misted by Dr.
Woodman, physician to the London Hospital, were occu-
pied for some hours in the performance of that duty
yesterday (Sunday). It was found that the deceased
had been dead for • much longer time than was
at first inferred in consequence of the unusual rigidity of
the bodies. It is believed now that death must have taken
es
placemi at lead 48 hours before the discovery was made. Both
were in • somewhat advanced stage of decomposition,
that of Mrs. Gribbin especially so, the eyes being in prover
of decay. On the head sod on the forehead of Mrs. Beek-
ingham were found bruises which reached the boo', but
there was no fracture of the skull. No other mark' of vio-
lence were discoverable on the bodies of either of the de-
ceased. The brains of both were healthy, and it may be said
in a word that the heart and other vital orgies were also
healthy, and that there was no natural cause to account for
death In either instance. The heart in each case was sound,
but it is right to mention that in that of Mrs. Buckingham
was found a fibrinous clot, which, it is believed, might, if
the absence of poison in her case be afterwards demon-
strated, be held to account for her death. In the nee of
Mrs. Gribbin no such way of accounting for death, in view
of the absence of poison, was found to exist.
Both women ameued to have been, up to the time of
death, in good liedth and in good condition. The intestines,
&c., in each case, were empty, and the stomach nearly so.
The stomach, the spleen, anti other portions of the rimers
of each of the deceased have been placed in sealed jars, and
given into the charge of Mr. A. G. Cobb, the coroner's
officer, by whom they will be taken to Professor Letheby
for chemical analysis.
Until the result of the scientific analyeatiou of the viscera
of the deceased becomes known, it is not the intention of
the police to arrest any person on suspicion of having ad-
ministered poison to them. It may be stated, however,
that James Backingbam, the lunatic husband of one of the
deceased women, is under the surveillance of Mr. Cobb, the
coroner's officer, who has received orders to have him forth-
coming at the inquest.

—The defendant said the committee refused to pay him,
and hence the present summons.
Mr. Bonham @eked the defendant why they refused to
I pay the complainant.
He replied that he had infringed the roles of the society.
The sloth rule did not allow any one to declare on the
funds who received an accident through fighting. The de-
fendant lent his eyeight in a fight with another man, there-
fore the society considered that he was not entitled to the
sick pay.
The complainant was recalled, and in answer to the
magistrate said that on the day he received the accident be
was in his shop, when a City missionary named Newman
came to his door and abased him frightfully, calling him a
dishonest tradesman, and using other opprobrious epithets.
He accordingly went oat and ordered him to leave, and in-
stead of that he struck witness on the face. He put his hands
up to protect himself as well as he could, and received the
blows on the eye which blinded him. He was mne days to the
hospital. and was still an out patient and unable to follow
his employment. He called two witnesses, who corroborated
his testimony. The City missionary struck Dim first, and
then they fought two or three rounds, but Bowler was com-
pelled to do so to protect himself.
The defendant again urged that the roles forbad him to
pay the complainant, as be clearly fought with the City
missionary.
Mr. Barcham, of ter caret ully looking through the rules, said
that it was clear that complainant had not wilfully fought
with the man, therefore ha was entitled to his sick pay.
He ordered the defendant to pay him 31. and costs.

THAMES.
Alfred Hunter, carman, aged 19, of No. 2. Red-leaddene,
Wappiag, and Alfred Ellis, coufectioaer, 35, were brought
up on remand before Mr. Partridge, charged the fint with
stealing, and the other with receiving well knowing it to be
stoke, 1 owt. 3 qrs. 9 lbs. of indigo, valued at 401.
Mr. Sleigh, barrister, defeeded Ellis.
The prosecutor in this ease is Mr. Thome' Anastasio
Raphael, colonial merchant, of Winchester-betildings,
City, and indigo merchant, of Old Fool, Bow. Ow Wed.
nesday last Hunter received directions to proceed to the
factory at Old Ford, and bring away 29 cases of indigo,
which were to be conveyed to the goods station of the Great
Northern Railway Company is Crutched•friars, for
onoveyanos to Liverpool. In consequence of alarming defi-
ciencies in cues of indigo which Hunter carted on previous
occasions, and on one to the extent of 501., a communication
was made to Inspector Honey of the K division, at the
Bow station, who deputed Lewis Lambert, • police con-
stable, No. 311 K, to watch the proceedings of Hunter,
who received eight chests of indigo at Old Ford.
He wail to deliver those at the railway station
and then return for 21 more. Instead of prooseding direct
to Crutehed.friars, he drove hie horn and van a very cir-
cuitous route, by the Victoria-perk-gate, Hackney, Bethnal-
green, Hackney-road, and other pima. to Whitechapel and
Stepney. He then proceeded to Gloucester-street, Com.
merckl-road East, when he stopped his van at the premises
of the prisoner Ellis, wholesale confectioner. No. 57i, Glou-
cester.street. The folding gates of Ellis's premises were
immediately opened ; one of two men who accompanied
Hunter carried • sack of indigo, which he took off the van,
into Ellis's workshop. Hunter took a second each of
indigo off the van, and carried it into the aline place.
The van was then drives away to the goods station by
Hunter. Previous to his arrival there Lambert waited on
the clerks, and requested them to weigh the indigo when it
was delivered. They did so, and there was a deficiency of
1 cwt. 3 qrs. fibs., valued at 401. The plunder had been
going on by extracting indigo from the cases during
the long drive by two men, confederates of the prisoners.
Lambert afterwards proceeded to the premises of Ellis, in
Gloucester-street, and saw him and his wile. He asked
Ellis if he had taken in any indigo, to which he replied, " I
have not." Lambert instaatly searched the plena and
found two seeks of indigo covered with old seeks soder
a sort of counter. The weight was exactly 1 cwt. 3pa
91b., and it was identified by Mr. Raphael's clerks as his
property. Lambert asked Ellis how he accounted for the
indigo, and he said he was not at home when it was
delivered, and that a carman earned Watson, whose waggon
broke down, left it there and intended to return foe it.
Lambert said "The indigo is stolen property, and I shall take
you into custody " The hands, dress, and face of Ellis
were all over indigo blue, and it was plain he had bent
meddling with indigo. The constable believed that 501.
worth of Mr. Raphael's indigo, stolen by Hunter, had found
its way to the premien of Hlis one former occasion.
The defence set up by Mr. Sleigh for Ellis was that the
indigo was left oe ha premises is his abseace. He also raid
Ellis was a respectable man, and had been a manufacturer
of cosfectimuy srticles for the trade for many years.
Inspector Honey asked for another remand.
Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoners for a week. He re-
fused hail for either, and said his colleague, Mr. Paget, had
also refund bail on Thursday last.
