The prisoner then one red the witness to do it us well as be

said that that was nut material, and witness must
do it in the best way he could. The accused upon

W Deaths, her on the head with a hammer, at Thurnon,
M that she died on the 24th of the same month. The pri-
Neer pleaded " Not guilty."
The circumstances of this case have been already pub-
lished. The unfortunate deceased was the daughter of a
labourer named Warne., with whom the prisoner hail
lodged for malty years. On the Bth August the prisoner com-
mitted the crime with which he was charged. the evidence
fur the prosecution was of the clearest and most conchm
sire character, and the learned judge, in summing up, said
that he saw no sign of any circumstance that would reduce
the crime from murder to manslaughter, or any lower
degree of homicide ; no sign of any provocation on the part
ef the deceased that could lead to the attack. The only
question that might have reference to the degree of guilt
nag the state of the prisoner's intellect at the time when he
perpetrated the deed. It was of the utmost importance, his
lordship thought, that when a man had passed for a man
of sound mind during the whole of his life, up to the
time of his committing a great crime, the doctrine should
not be adopted that the consiniedon of that crime was
of itself, and alone, proof that the man who committed the
crime was nut responsible fur the act. If the prisoner were
capable of distinguehing right from wrong, and of being
swayed by the orditary motives of hope and fear, the mere
fact of his having merely a low degree of intellect would
ant reduce the serious character of the offence, although it
might be a matter to be considered afterwards by the ad
stinistraton of the law.
The jury deliberated only a few minutes, and returned •
verdict of Guilty. His Lordship then pained sentence of
death in the usual form on the prisoner, who received the
sent
awful nce a ithout appearing to be in any way affected.

THE POLICE COURTS.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Mr. Adana, the Secretary to the City of London Central
Markets Association, applied on Thursday to Alderman
Curter for a summons against a person employed by the
association, under rather peculiar circumstances.
Mr. Arland, who was accompanied by the treasurer to
the association, said, that having been entrusted by the body
with the superintendence of their appeal to public opinion
in favour of the central cattle market, he had been for
nearly three weeks employing canvassers to offer fur signs-
, tare by the inhabitants of the metropolis, a petition to the
legislature sgaiust the government bill, and to the citizen
electors a declaration to the representatives, requesting
them to support the prayer of that petition. The instructions
he had received from the committee of the Association, and
which he had given to these canvassers, were of a most
peremptory character in prevention of anything like (aba-
sed= or deception, notwithstanding which precaution he
as the preceding day discovered that one of those so em-
had forged several signatures. Ile (Mr. Acland)
detected several forgeries on the copy of the declaration
which had been entrusted to him. In order to protect him-
self from any similar attempt, and to maintain the integrity
of the important document in question, he was compelled
te make the present application fur a summons against the
logihrilial whom he accused.
Merman Carter thought that the applicant ought to
slow that he had sustained some injury by the misconduct
,et the party of whom he complained. It did nut appear
from the statement made that the person accused had de-
rived any pecuniary advantage from forging names to the
document, or that the applicant had sustained any pecu-
niary loss from such a violation of duty upon the part of the
