SC-Pirff.l) 3iCIRDER DP A WIFE in' HER Hl'S-
nts —Gtaireesenu, Tuned)Ae.—A man named Daniel
Shindy has been brought to the Gloucester County Gaol,
under the warrant of W. J. Ellis, Esq., coroner for the
county, on • charge of the wilfal murder of his wife. The
deceased and the pioneer lived at Wotton-under-Edge, in
this comity . mid the fanner had &reeline time past been in
• deli. ate state of health. Her husband had been in the
habit ern. Ily beating and kicking her and keeping
her on a miserably short allowance of food, and
while he him-elf tired well, bread and water was
the poor woman's principal diet. The deceased died on
the 2101 of February last rather suddenl, and an inquest
was held on the body, as a matter of form, on the 28th,
when no suspicion nt foul conduct being entertained, a ver-
dict of " Died. from natural causes" was returned. The
prisoner refused to bury her, and that circumstance, toge-
ther with the rumours which now begun to spread through
the ni ighbourhood respecting his cruel conduct towards her
during her lifetime, led to further inquiries which resulted
in the re-oinniue of the inquest. At the last inquiry
several of the neighbours were examined. Some depend
that the prisoner beat his wife "in common with other
h umlaut& ;" but the niece of the deceased proved that
Mrs. Mundy had complained to her of her husband's
cruelti, and had shone her her arms and legs which
were black and Woe with bruises. She also told her
that she was nearly starved, having nothing to eat but
course brown bread, without anything with it. Daniel
Workman, another of Mundy's neighbours, spoke to the
fact of the prisonsr hating beaten his wife with • stick.
On the day of her decease this witness saw Mrs. Mundy
SOU her own house, in a stooping position, with her hands
ea her bowels, and on asking her what was the matter, she
said it nos where be kicked her—meaning her husband.
Jane Deer. who laid out the body. found bruises on the
seek said bowel*. Mr. Adams, surgeon, also deposed that
he found an injury of the neck. attended with congestion of
the 'frith of very recent iLite. Also an extensive iury of
the abdomen, as if tram a blow or kick, either of which
was stlitieient to cause death. The jury, after a short deli-
beration, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against
Daniel Mundy, the hushan.l.

At the Gloutesterhire summer manes last August a woman
nand Hannah Curtis was found guilty of the murder of
her former husband, Thomas llama, at Frampton Cot-
Well, by admini.tering arsenic to him. After the sentence
Si death was passeil, it will he remembered, the prisoner
was n.spited, and sulnequently the sentence was commuted
to transportation for life. The prisoner has only recently

that • resolute attempt is now being made by
the parties who were chiefly instrumental in ob-
taining the respite, to procure an unconditional par-
den for the amused. For that purpose a memorial has
boon drawn up and signed by a number of householders
and other.: of the neighbourhood, setting the facts of the
fase before her Majesty, and pointing out the weak points
in the . videnee. It is suggested that although the prisoner
lire Harris's name she was never actually married to him,
and. dot...fore, that he could hare been no obstacle to her
neirriage with Curtis, and it particularly points out the fact
of the purchase of the pniaun by the prisoner after the de-
es as el been taken ill. The memorial also urges that 1
the prisoner and the di (cased were living upon good terms
with each other, and suggests that the poison might have
been given in mistake—either by the prisoner or the de-
et-cod's friends—for magnesia, which he was in the habit of
taking occasionally. In conclusion, the memonialista pray
her Nlojesty to take a merciful view of the east, and grant
the accusal as unconditional pardon.
