EDIS V. WATTV.--aLLEOLD CXUEL TRE&TMENT OF AN
AGED BISTRI Or THE LATI LADY MONTFORT.
. . - -

This was an action brought by John, the hu,bard of
Mary Edis, against Miss Jane Watts, sister to the late Lidy
Montfort, tsr 141. Lis , for fourteen weeks of his wifo's atten-
dance in the capacity of nurse.
The main point which arose as the defence to the action
was whetter or no the aged defendant had been subjeeterl
a Relies of ill-usage and neglect, which debarred the plaintiff
from 'attaining her claim. In the latter part of December
last, Lady Montfort having recently become deceased, blin
Jane Watts, her sole surviving dater, who was then in Ler
84th year, and io a vary weak state of bosh)), was removed
from Monk's-grove, one of Lady Montfort's seats, to 20,
Lower Eaton street, also a former residence other ladrehip,
and came under the immediate control of the woman Edit,
who had been a servant in Lady Montfort's establishment,
and had remained ever since in the house for same
unas-
plained reason. Min Watts wee never permitted by this
man Edo, to see either her relatives or doctor, and when
subsequently questioned upon this Point said she bad re•
erivid her isetritetane from a Mr. Drummond, who wee a
trustee. Mrs. Chaim/or, the widow of Captain Chalner, of
the 14th Light Dragoons, and a Dices of Miss Ways, having
gained aiminion to the house in March last, found her in a
most wretched and filthy condition.
Mks Watts proved that during the 14weeks she was under
PAWs care her bed linen was only changed once, her body
linen twice, and that she was never washed nor her nails cut.
The ease of ill-treatment or neglect was furth. r strength-
ened by the evidence of Mr. G. Johnson, of Greer. nor plan,
surgeon, who proved that he had been directed by the des•
*eased Mr. Watts and one of the manes to visit Miss Watts
and made since nun= ssfal visits. When he was called in by
Mrs. Chalmer, he found Miss Watts in a very dirty state,
much emaciated; the ro-m was filthy in the extreme. and
the odour was intolerable, and it was his opinion Miss
Watts's state was solely owing to the neglect of the wawa

Tae Judge (Mr. Fres, rl, in summing up, slid that if the
evidence given by Mi., Wats and her friends was to be ere.
i'i•ed, she bad been must wilfully neglected, and the woman
Elm's conduct wag not only dispracelul but inhuman, and
see would he entitled to no componsati,n whatever. The
jury i a few minutes return( d a verdict for the plaintiff of
101. 10a, a decision wholly utilooked fur by those present.

Mr. Berjeant Bt les, Mr O'Malley, and Mr. Cadosan,
apprari d tcr the plaintiff; Mr. Evans, Mr. Palmer, and Mr.
C“uch, rapt. sent d the defendants.
This was an ac'iou broug`tt to recover compensation for
injuries alleged to have been dot e to certain I-aiming pre-
miers of the plaintiff, consisting of a barn, stable', cattle.
howl s, a granary, and ear -ledge, situate at Banton, between
Brandon and Thetford, by the burning cinders and ca• pro-
jected by an engine paying along the line, the pr linty of
the defendants. The damage was estimated at 7091., but it
was agreed that the premise amount should be settled nut of
craw if the jury should find for the plaintiff cn the issue
raise; by the defendants' plea of not guilty.
Between the railway and the prrtnises of the plat-tiff there
is a strip of land, about 80 yards :n width, covered wilt dry
gram, called in thi. county " ling " or " bent," which before
the occurrence of the injuries complained of had frequently
hren ignited by the hot ashes and burning flakes scattered
from the funnel and dust-pans of the erjeines whenever the
trains passed under a high pr'ssure of steam. Indeed, so
terrific were the showers of burning matter when the mail

tenant, Mr. Elie, apprehensive of their house catching fire,
invariably Pat up until that train p-aged, and it became im-
passible to insure in some offices at all, while *there
required mitre comppedivion for the additional risk
Toe attention of the railway authorities had been called
to the propriety of cautioning their drivers to as.
this partsiular spot at relaxed speed so far back as 1816,
and, according to the case or the plaintiff, who was the
owner of the premises occupied by Mr. Elias, these fears
were not without toundwion, 'or at 11 o'clock on the morn-
ing of the zs:b of May, 1847, whiten vat a very dry hot
day, just efts!' the fleet down train passed a fire burst out
in the farmyard in some loose straw heaped op near the
hare, and in a short time the whole premises acd proper,'
abovwmeutioned were Isutnt down. In order to wtab isn
the claim of the paint ff a great deal of evid-nee, much of
it being of a scientific aid the °retie character, was given
to show that it wn quite within the cerise of po.sibibte,
that the !parka and live embers of the engine shodd he
lir ejected from the funnel er the ash-pan to the distance at
which the barn et-gat from th. nilway—that just at that

the down train would labour greatly, stud the con-
sequence of which would be that she would, to we

live coke, both from the funnel end ti.e-pin than she would
while 'ray. llWg woh the same load on a level, or at le-s
seed then 25 rr 30 miles, end that too to a greater distance.
Taking int. consid. ration all the circumstances of the case,
end bringing to bear all his exp. rience and scientific know-
ledge, the pro emote expressed it to be his dtcided opinion
tlrst tor fire was attribwahle to the use ne. Ile also ex
pained the various methods by which this " spitefulness"
might be obsiated on the part of to use to whoto such din

pl iced on the funnel, or perf rated cs'ates might he ine fled
to the engine b low the funnel ; or the ash-pen closed back
and front, a t as to prevent rh • escape of coy fiery projectiles.;
or the load might be 1. se..ued, t r the speed reduced at all
dangerous Wares.

The jury de.iberate4 some 20 minutes, and then returned
a verdict fur the plaintiff. ezpre.,ing it t.. 1 be their opinion
that the defendants hsd been guilty of negligence.
With this emits, which did not conclude till 9 eclock at

TAE ALLEGED IkiATRICIDS AT BUIDGENOUTH —SECOND
DISCHARGE OF THE JURY WITHOUT A VERDICT.
At 9 o'elLek Mr. Baron Bee attended in the Crown
Court, itffcons.quence of a note received by him from the
jury, requeeiug to know whether the evidence &Relent
M. rey Cash( rine Newton was sufficient to show that her
mother died from WE etation. His lordship toll them that
was entirely for them to siy—that was, in facs, the vtry
question they had to deed tit. If they were net satisfied of
that, it would be their duty to return u vertlict ot not guilty,
but if they considered that there w. 3 no other rei unable
solution of the cense of death, end the evidence showed no
cne else but the pri'nner was prevent, then it was for them
to say whether she did it.
Mr. Huddle-tone called his lcrdsh'p's attention to the fact,
las proved in evidence, that the deceased was a "chilly wo-
man ;" that site had thrown pieces of cenilo into the fie to
make it bl..ze; and that on one occasion her clothes
caught fire from her sitting iu tow close a roximi y to 'he
fire grate.
The Judge referred to that part of the evidence, and also
to the opinions La to the burning being afn r, and not ante-
rior to, the death. He then w. nt through the counts of the
ird.c.ntent, end on reachlog the clout, which charged the
cause of death to have been by " tying a handkerchief round
the neck of the said Ann Newton, end then and there causing
strangulation, by means of which the mid Ann Newton did
then and there die, &c."
The prisoner, who had been muttering for some minutdo,
said, " That I never did, my Iced ; I never touched kir
that night. Oh, g.-ntletnen, gentlemen, gentlemen."
The jury, having aske I some further questions of kis
lordship, intimated that they were Lot likely to agree, a .d
again retired in the cut& Ay of the sheriff.
Both judges then attended divine service at St. Chad'',
and shortly before one tLe c 'art was erne nr re op. red, and
in a few minutes maimed in every part by the anti us
multitude, who surrounded the C'curt-ttouse from an earls

Justice Brie entered tt e court in their robes. The
prisoner was again placed at the bar, and the jury sent for
Th. y entered the lice bearing evident traces of t stagnation
in their counter .nets, and having snswered to their names,
intimated they had not agreed to their verdict.
Mr. Clement, surgeon, was then sworn, end in reply to
Baron Bolfels questions, deposed, " I have attended Mr.
Massey, one of the jurors, and given bim medicine, but I
am of opinion that the time has arrived when his confine-
ment longer would be &rpm.* to his life."
Baron Rolfe—Gentlemen, is there any likelihood of your

agreeing ?
Foreman—No, my lord.
Baron Bnlfa—That is, there is ne reuonable probability
of your agreeing on your verdict ?
Feretnan—Not the shadow. my lord.
The Baron—Then, gentlemen, you are discharged. Gaoler,
let the prisoner remain in custody.
The court then adjourned, and thus a second time termi-
nated the trial of this moat unprecedented case, in latch a
