Examination resumed-1 hadafavonrite hone called "the
Doctor." One day I found the respondent beating thi.hmse,
and when 1 remonstrated with him, he said that if I would
on have any bone bastes he would bon me. He struck me
several times with a pitchfork. I had also adog called
" Spot." Mr. Chetwynd wanted to take it into the garden,
and it would not follow him. I heard him beating it, and
ran down stairs without my shoes. He struck the dog
with a hammer and knocked a tooth down it. threat while
it was in my arms. To save any further trouble I went
away just as I was without my shoes, and took the dog to
the farm, which was four or five fields off. (A letter was
put in from the respondent after the separation, threa-
tening that if she did not pay her debts be would advertise
her, and calling her • d-- infernal liar and swindler.) I
became: a Roman catholic in 1862. 1 bad no differences
with my husband on the score of religion. I ultimately
left his house on the 4th of January, 1863.
Cross-examined by Mr. Hawkins—l have acted under
the advice of my friends ; but I decline to say under whose
except under that of Mr. Nicholson, my solicitor. I first
became acquainted with Mr. Chetwynd at the end of 1853.
while I was staying at his mother's house after a ball. I
was then living at home with my father. I really hardly
remember of what my father's establishment then con-
sisted. We had • governess, a housekeeper, • cook, a
butler, a groom, and other servants.
Mr. Hawkins—ln one of your husband's letters I find this
passage, " When you condemn me, I edvise you to think of
yourself and your former life, and take the beam out of your
own eye." What does that refer to!
Witness—l am not bound to answer the question, unless
you pot it straight to me.
Mr. Hawkins—Don't you know what it mean!
Witness—Not unless you suggest some meaning, and then
I will answer you. Whatever it refers to, it was known to
Mr. Chetwynd before my marriage, and it concerned himself
alone. _ _ .

.„--
Str.Hawkwa—Wu you:daughter Florence your firstohild?

Witness—She was not.
The Queen's Advocate, interposing, submitted that hie
learned friend bed no right to ask questions respecting any.
tiring that might have occurred before the marriage.
Witness —I would far rather answer any questions that
may be put to me. It is dreadfully painful. no doubt, but I
have my children and my own character to protect. (Cheats.)
The Queen's Advocate submitted that notwithstanding
the statement of the wiener, the court ought not, for the
sake of its own regularity, to enlarge the inquiry beyond
that defined by the petition.
The Judge Ordinary doubted whether that could properly
be done.

Mr. Hawkins wialied to cross-examine the witness on
this point, in order to explain the quarrels which were said
to hare gccurred five or six mouths after the marriage.
The Judge Ordinary in that case could not prevent the
questions from being put.
Witness (to Mr. Hawkins)—Mr. Chetwynd married know-
ing everything about me.
Mr. ilawkius-1 do not want to press the matter beyond
that. _ _ .

Cross-examination resumed—The first quarrel that took
place between me and my husband was owing to my
being late for breakfast. Mr. I.l3etwyrid never made any
complaint to me about my extravagance. I have an
income of my own. I have a legacy of 3,0001. left
me, and I had something under my mother's will. I
do not know exactly haw much, for Mr. Chetwynd keeps
back a portion of it from me, though he wu ordered not to do
so. lie never complained to me of having involved him
3,000/, in debt. to the time I left him he never paid a
farthing for me in his life. All his complaints about my
debts are in writing, and can speak for themselves. In a
letter of mine beginning "Dear old Billy, don't scold me
again for six mouths, and it shall not occur agaio," I did not
refer to my debts. I w..s alluding to my sisters' visits to
Longdou. He had made me promise that no one be-
longing to me should pug his threshold. I had incurred
considerable debts when I left Longdoo ; but I never
ioteoded the respondent to pay them. He sent a
most blackguard notice to the tradespeople, and
I have never seen their bills. I cannot say that
their amount wet 2,0001. or 3,000/. Since the petition
was tiled I have heard that he bee been sued by six
different persons for debts contracted by me. There is a
milliner's bill for 2;01., but I bad given Kl. to one Thins
Pomfret to pay on account of it, and it appears that
that was not done. There are not twelve dressmakers to
whom I owe bills. I have bad a discussion with Madame
Elise about her bill of 91. 1 sesert that it is paid.
Sir J. P. Wilde—What bearing has this in the cue ?
it suggested that the cruelty was caused by these bills ?
Mr. Hawkins—No, my lord.
Sir J. P. Wilde—Then it seems to me that we ought not
to go into the matter.
. . . . . . .

Mr. Hawkins—lt would tend to explain a great deal of
Mr. Chetwynd's irntatron.
Witness—tin the 6th of June, 1863, there lied been no
discussion on the subject of my debts. There bed been a
discussion about hi. adultery with a servant named Caroline.
I had borrowed rot. of • horse dealer named Hayes, but I
bad repaid it ; and Mr. Chetwynd had • dispute with
him on money matters. The two books produced are a diary
kept by me. Ido not remember tearing leaves out of the
third book produced. I took nothing away when I left the
hall. I arrived at Beandeeert on the occasion I have spoken
to at a little after 7. The seta of violence were witnessed by
Mrs. Corns and the servant Sarah. Ido not know if they
are here. I mentioned what had occurred to Mr. Webb, to
whose house I went. I remained away five or six days.
Mr. Webb was a rartner in Mr. Salt's bank. I remained at
his house the whole of the five or six days. I received a
letter hem Mr. Chetwynd while I was there. It told me
that I was not to return home till I had apologised to the
marchioness, which I refesed to do. I afterward. beanie

rence and Lady Winchilsea were at the house. I went
home from Mr. Webk.'s Weans' Mr. Chetwynd came and
fetched me. Mr. Wilmot was at the house when I asked
permission net to go down. Ido not know if anybody
was present when that noterred which I have described,
bet Mr. Wilmot may perhaps recollect it. The respondent
used bad language to me as much in public as in private.

tion. I never left hems without his sanction, except on
those occasion* of violence, when I did not require it. I
was staying at Bayswater, at Mr. Wilks', who was one of
the commissioners of lunacy. I had had various visitors in
my bedroom ; amongst them were Mr. Meyoell Ingram,
Captain Keith Fraser, Mr. Henry Mathews, Mr. Wilts,
my sister, Mitre Gifford, and other ladies. I was confined
to my room for two days. My husband bad never, up to
that time, mentioned his disapproval of my acquaintance
with Mr. Mathews. His bad league*e had reference to my
ODD condition, and tot to Mr. Mathews. The servants
put flour against the door of Mr. Ctieterynd's bedroom, bat
I was not aware that they intended to so. I never said
that or. husband's faults were trifles compared with my
own. I never thought so.
Mr. Hawkins—l have • reason for putting the question
in that form. _ _ .

itnees—l perfectly know your reason. I have always
been in the habit of keeping a diary, but not from day to
day. Sometimes when I have had nothing to do I have
written in entries for three months together. I cannot say
that my diary always expressed my true feeliogy—it de-
pended a good deal on the humour I was in. I never wished
to quatrel with Mr. Chetwynd, but I always tried to make
pesos with him.
Re-examined—l was on the bed one day that I was at
Bayswater, and the rest of the time on the sofa. The hat

Towards the last be did not let me have any of my friends.
Nobody came to see me except my brother, Mr. Harvey
Talbot, who did not mind him. The people who came
were horse dealers, pig drivers, and cow dealers. I was fre-
quently made to sit down to dinner with them. My hue-
band was a hone dealer himself. Ile took out a license
four or five years ago. Lady Chetwynd lived at Loogdon
till August. ISO°, when she left and give Lougdon to my
husband. My mother lift me more than 631. a year ; but I
don't know exactly how much. When I left Lougd m I
believe my clothes were sold by auction at Birmingham—
( I. laugh)—at all events they were not given to me. though I
often applied for them. Mr. Chetvrynd did remonstrate with
me about the IV. which I had borrowed from Mr. Haves.
It was not for myself. I had not repaid it at the time
promised, and Mr. Hayes wrote to my buil:mod about it.,
lle mentioned the matter to nit. and as I had the money
by nie I immediately sent it to Mr. ll►yea, sod I heard no
more of it. Diaries are stupid things. I put down all sorts
of things in mine—things that I never meant, things that I
imagined, and things that never happened.
The Court then adjourned.

OXFORD CIRCIIIT.—.WORCEBTER, Dzo. 15.

John Butler was indicted for the wilful murder of
Catherine Gulliver, at Grebesley, oa the 13th of August
last.
Mr. Richards conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Mot-
tram the definer.
The p ieone was a lock-keeper at one of the locks of the
Hirer Severn Navigation, in this county. After the death
of his wife some years ago he took the deceased to live with
him as his housekeeper, and, according to the testimony of
their neighbours, they frequently quarrelled together.
Late on Saturday night, the 13th of August, the de-
ceased went to a neighbour's, named Green, and com-
plained that the prisoner bad been Musing her.
Mn. Green recommended her to return home, but
told her that if Butler would not admit her she
might sleep at her house (Green's). After a while Gulliver
returned home, and not long afterwards a man, named
Harris, and his wife, who lived near Butler's, heard cries
proceeding from the deceased, the cries being described as
like those of a sheep bleating. She was also calling some
person a " scamp" and a " villain." Nothing
more was heard of the deceased ; and as she was not seen at
Butler's for some days afterwards, inquiries were made of
him as to her whereabouts, when be made various mowers,
and the clergyman of the with, after talk' to him, having
his atm iciens excited, the elver was and the body
of the was found in the water • t3O yards below
the locks. The prisoner, who seemed much dejected, was
then apprehended on the charge of murder.
The trial lasted nearly all day, and the jury were locked
up at half -put 4 o'clock. After ao absence of about an hour
they returned into court with a verdict of Guilty.
The learned judge then (after the usual proclamation)
put on the black cap, and addressing the prisoner in a most
feeling and solemn tosonor, passed the sentence of death.

NORTHERN CIRCIIIT. —LIVERPOOL, Dec. 16.

Caowr Coarr.—(Before Mr. Justioe Mellor.)

Ellis Green, 46, was indicted for the minder of Elizabeth
Lowe, his sister-in-law, at Liverpool,on the 2nd of October.
The prisoner. his wife, and the deceased lived together in
• court leading from Harrington-street. On the day men-
tioned the prisoner came home intoxicated, and almost im-
mediately commenced an assault upon his wife and the
deceased. He afterwards knocked the deceased down with
a violent blow, jumped from a box upon her chest, and
with his nailed boots inflicted very serious injuries upon her.
He afterwards kicked her with great fury about the bead
and face, and not content with this, he threw the box upon
the breast of the deceased, and struck her several blows
upon the head and face with his fist. She tried to get to
her feet, bat fell down again ; blood rushed from her mouth
and nostrils, and she was removed to the Northern Hospital,
where she died on the following Monday. For the defence
it was urged that the primmer was not aware of the dreadful
injuries which he was inflicting, as be was drunk ; that be
had no malicious intention ; and that the crime was that of
manslaughter.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and sentence of
death was pronounced.

THE POLICE COURTS.

_MANSION-110rSE

Henry Feast andlartin:siweWagain placed at the
ter to undergo a further examination upon the charge of
obtaining from Mr. l.audale. a merchant in Austinfriars, by
means of false pretences, the sum of 18.`4.
Mr. Humphreys again appeared to prosecute ; and
Mr. Sydney appeared for the prisoners.
The particulars of the cams have already appeased on
several occasions, but it will be remembered that the mode
by which the money was obtained was by • representation
by the prisoners that they had shipped a certain number of
cases of pickles to Messrs. Caleoder and Co., of Melbourne,
each came containing Uwe' dozen bottles, upon which
Mr. Laudale advanced money to the prisoners to
the extent of 75 per cent. on the value of the shipment. It
turned out, however, that in several of the shipments, in-
stead of containing three dozen bottles as represented io
the invokes delivered by the prisoners, they only contained
one dozen each, and this was the fraud by which the pri-
soners are alleged to have obtained money from Mr. Lau.
dale. The evidence which bad been previously adduced
was relative to a shipment by the Matilda in deanery last.
Yesterday, Mr. Humphreys opened two fresh imam one
of which related to a shipment by a veiled called the Golden
Horn, by which vessel the prisoners represented that they
had shipped 160 cases of pickles, each containing 3 dozen
bottles. Upon the faith of that representation, Mr. Lao.
dale advanced 1371. The other case referred to a shipment
of 250 canes by the Scotia, which were also represented to
contain three dozen bottles. There was no advance, bow-
ever, made in respect to the shipment by the Scotia, a being
• made to cover an advanos which had been previously made
to the prisoners. When the prisoners were apprehended by
Detective Sergeant Haydon, a pocket-book was found upon
one of the prisoners, which contained some entries which
tallied both in date and amount with the cheques which
were given in respect to the Golden Horn consignment.
Mr. Humphreys eked for another remand, and said the
cases in both instances only contained one dozen bottles
each, Untold of three.
The prisoners were again remanded.

Mr. Lewin said—l propose now, air, to withdraw from

mired • sample of the goods on the sth of December which

when be brought the samples, " I believe you are • buyer
of shawls." I asked him bow he came to know that, and he
then showed me one of my cards, and said he was lout to
me by Mr. Wilson, of Barbican. He also said he was an
agent, and that the goods were the remains of some stock,
and bad belonged to a friend of his. I asked him for a re-
ceipt, which he gave nie. I asked him a great many ques-
tions, and he said he would be &wearable for all the goods

and disorderly inside the Blue Posts public-honse, in the
West India road, Limehonsa, and refusing to leave when

relating to houses of public entertainment. The prisoner
