sale on his property, and in the absence of the plaintiff the
defendant made • levy taking a number of things belonging
to the plaintiff, and amongst them a box containing a cash-

and had executed a deed of separation by which he cove-
nanted to make her an allowance of two gainers • week,
and the present action was brought by the trustee under
this deed to recover arrears due. The defendant, in answer
to the uctioc, pleaded an equitable plea. which stated that
his wife bad, contrary to the provisions of thedeed, molested
mud disturbed him, and bad endeavoured to compel him to
allow her other alimony by applying to the parish officers
of Lambeth, and getting relief, for which the defendant
had been compelled to repay the pariah ; and that she
had acquired other means by selling goods of the defendant.
Another branch of the plea alleged that the defendant
becoming unable to pay the annuity it was agreed that in-
stead of it the wife should have certain furniture and an
&Dower)... of Is. • week, and that this new arrangement
the defendant bad carried out.
Mr. Kerslake and Mr. W. Williams appeared for the

Mr. Stammers declined to accede to this arrangement,

and Was. Davies, were

lug the premise of lfeenralm=targiland 6, Suf-
folk-lane, Upper Thammetnet, wholesale stationers aid
printers, with intent to steal.
Pollee-constable Thos. Reid, No. 482, was on duty in
Suffolk-lane at about half-past eleven on Saturday night,
and on examining the premises of Messrs. Trim:int, he
noticed that one of the windows in the area was not iv the I
same condition as it was at a quarter pest tee, and he imme- I
diately rang the bell, and the fireman, who sleeps on
the premises, came down, and on hearing from the
oiliest that the window was unfastened, be proceeded
to examine the premises, and under a trough near the I
window which was unfastened he saw the pnaonere crawl-
ing on their hands and knees. He called the constable, and
he went down and secured the prisoners. The rattle was
sprung, and detective omoers Hobble and Bells were
quickly on the spot, and the prisoners were secured and
conveyed to the station ; neither of them had any boots on,
and two pairs of boots were found out in the area, which
the prisoners mid were theirs, and which they put on. On
examining the premises afterwards a small jemmy and a
dark lantern and some Inciter matches were found *under
the trough where the prisoners were concealed, and it was
found that the counting-hone door had some marks cone-
spouding with the jemmy, from which it appeared that an
attempt had been made to break it open. Nothing, how-
ever, woe missed.
Both the prisoners were committed for trial.

Ann Fennel, a middle-aged woman, was charged with
the two distinct offences of deserting her children and kee-
ls( them in the workhouse, and with absconding with the
parish clothing of St. George's, Hanover-square.
Mr. Rogers, the settlement clerk of the parish, said that
the defendant and her family had been inmates of the work-
house for the last two or three years. Last year she went
out on leave and absconded for some time, and being brought
ha*, the offence was overlooked. On Tuesday last she
again obtained permission to go out. It was to meet a girl
of hers sent up by her brother from Southampton, and the
parish were ready to admit her. The defendant went out
but never returned.
Mr. Baddersly. Master of St. George's, Hanover-square,
workhouse, Little Chelsea, mid that he was at Brampton
on the previous night, what he by chance met the defendant,
and gave her into custody. Defendant had gone out in the
:sh clothes, but only bad a portion of them on at the time
she was met.
Mr. Arnold asked whether the defendant had a husband
Mr. Rogers replied that she had, but he was imbecile, and
maintained in the other workhouse of the parish, Mount-
street, St. George's-square.
Mr. Arnold questioned whether a married woman could in
any way be charged with deserting her children while her
husband was alive. The legal responsibility was upon him
and not upon her.
Mr. Rogers quoted some extracts, upon the faith of which
he bad charged the defendant with desertion. If any diffi-
culty woes on that pert of the case the parish would go upon
the other—for absconding with the clothing.
Mr. Arnold said be also very much questioned whether
that charge could be sustained. The words of the statute
were " removing away and absconding." There surely
could DOD be a running away, as the defendant had left the
workhouse with the consent of the parish authorities.
Mr. Rogers said the neglect to return was an absconding.
Mr. Arnold remanded defendant till Friday, that the
matter might be considered.

Bartludomew lireabe,YZ26, a morose, dirty, and dissi-
pated person, was cha with burglary and robbery in
his own father's house, No. 5, Devooport-dreet, Comma-
cial-road, Ratrliff.
The prisoner bee been frequently charged at this murk
with robbing and &moulting his father, a respectable trades-
man. carrying on business as a carman and cad merchant.
While at home with his father he frequently plundered
him of money and property, was almost constantly intoxi-
cated, and annoyed all the family by his late hours, irregu-
larities, abuse and destruction of property. At last he was
sentenced to a month's imprisonment and hard labour, sad
on the day be came out of prison hie ham, who appear*
be an industrious and kind-hearted man, provided btm with
a coat and some money to pay for a lodging. Ou the same
night he broke into his father's hones end robbed it. For
five nights in succes,ion he visited his father's premises,
sod when be did not effect an entrance he destroyed some
property. At last he was again given into custody of a
policeman, and brought before Mr. Cooke, at this court, on
Thursday, the sth inst. Mr. Cooke said the prisoner would
be committed for trial for burglary and robbery, gad re-
manded him for a week for the completion of the deposi-
tions. His father, with mistaken but kind-hearted 'salty,
did not appear on Thursday. and his prodigal son was dis-
charged. On the same night be again committed a burglary
hi his father's home. He effected an entrance by breaking
down the shutter of the kitchen window and opening the
window. He succeeded in carrying off two coats belong-
ing to his father, and • coat, hat, cap, and other articles
belonging to James M'Cabe. a young man, his brother.
On Sunday night the prisoner had the audacity to agais
attempt to enter his father's premises. He was de-
tected by • police-constable, named William Hall, No. 425
K, who found upon him one of the mats be bad stolen on
Thursday night. He admitted that he bad plasdered his
father, and said be had as much right to take things as
his brother. It was proved that the brother was au in-
dustrious, sober man. He appeared as the prosecutor in
this case, and said his father had endeavoured in vein to
reclaim the prisoner, but without effect, and that whenever
he was entrusted with money he continued spending every
farthing until it was exhausted, and when be was entrusted
with goods for sale he appropriated the money to his own
use. The prisoner had robbed his father MO times.
The prisoner, who was labouring under delirium tremens,
said he had nothing to urge in his defence, and did not care.
The magistrate, after observing that the prisoner was the
most incorrigible villain he had ever met with, committed
him for trial.

Tat SUIIPECTFJ) MURDER AT NINE Elate.—Last
evening Mr. William Carter, the coroner for Fast Surrey,
resumed the inquiry at the Duke of Clarence Tanen,
Penton-place, Walworth, relative to the death of Charles
Champion, aged 43, a carman in the employ of Mr. Hunt, of
Nine Elms-lane, whom it was alleged was brutally mur-
dered. From the evidence adduced on the former oesesion,
there seemed but little doubt that the unfortunate man
met his death from unfair means, sad a certain amount of
suspicion attached itself to a man knowe by the name of
"Jemmy," who worked with deceased. The deceased was
found tying in hie master's yard most fearfully injured
about the head, hie nose being smashed in and the spinal
cord considerably shaken. Some additional evidence having
been taken, the jury, after a lengthened consultation, re-
turned a verdict that the deceased died from the effects of
mortal injuries, but by whom administered there was no
satisfactory proof. The coroner intimated that the jury did
not believe that the deceased bad fallen out of the loft.
MURDER IN LEWINTESSHISE. —The quiet little
village of Ashby Folville, distant about 10 miles from Lei-
cester, and 64 from Melton, has just been the scene of a
shocking murder. It appear.that Mr. Flavell, of Ashby
Lodge, went with the mat of his family to church on Sunday
afternoon last, leaving his two men servants, named Bagwell
and Harvey, the only inmates of the house. On their re-
turn they found Harvey sitting at a table with a partly
written letter before him, aud with his head resting on
the table, quite dead. n examination it was seen that
• gun had evidently been discharged from babied. close to
the unfortunate man's head as beset writing, causing instate
tenons death. His fellow-servant, Haswell, had absconded.
Infoematien of the shocking affair was conveyed to Mr.
Goodyer, chief constable, who at once proceeded to the
spot. From the inquiries which he mode it was neer-
teieed that both the men were paying their addresses to the
same young woman, and that the letter deceased was
writing was addressed to her. This circumstance caused
suspicion to fall upon Boswell as the perpetrator of the
deed. Search was made throughout the neighbourhood,
but no train of Haswell could be found. On Monday
morning • warrant was issued from the borough police.
office, Leicester, and in lees than half-an-hour police-con-
stable Newell, in company with Sergeant Agar, of the
county police, succeeded in appreheading Buswell in South-
gateetreet. On being charged with the crime be at once
admitted it, and was taken into custody. At one o'clock
he was conveyed to Ashby Folville, to await the result of
the coroner's inquest, to be held the same afternoon. Au
inquiry will be held before the Melton bench to-day (Tues.
day). The unfortunate man who has met with such an un-
timely end was Ti years of age, while the prisoner is
only 16, but is very tall for his age, being five feet nine
inches in height.
A CHILD KILLED BY CAMPHOlL—Yesterday Mr.
Win. Carterheld an inquiry at the Dun Cow Tanen, High-
street, Peekham, on the body of Harriet Anna Castledine,
aged 1 year and 3 months, whose death took place under
the following circumstances. The child, it appeared, had
