WESTMINSTER.

Wm. Smith alias late a labourer em-
ployed at the Equitable Gas N orks, Thames Bank, was
brought up for re-esamination charged with the brutal
murder of Mary Elizaifeth Reynolds, aged 17 mmiths, the
illegitimate child of a woman with whom ho cohabited in
Douglas•rrcet, Westminster.
The particulars of the prisoner's examination were fully
detailed in our impression of Saturday last, since which a
coroner's jury have returned a verdict of Wilful murder"
against the accused.
Mr. G. Pearse, of Regent-street, Westminster, surgeon,
said—Since I was here on the last occasion I have made apart
mi,rtcht examination. In addition to my former testimony
I found two semi-circular marks on the left leg, and ano-
ther on the instep, with an Melt citation, apparently caused
by a bite with teeth. There was no bruise upon the right
leg, which was broken. I found an old fracture of the
right collar-bane. The external organs of the chest and
abdomen are perfectly healthy. On opening the scalp I
found a large spot of extravasated Mood, covering nearly
the whole of the right side of the head, and on the right
hemisphere of the brain large clots of blood extravusated.
The extravasation of blood on the brain was the cause of
death.

Ins closing the case for the prosecution, the depositions
of the st,veral witnesses were read over, and Mr. liroderip,
in due form of law, asked the prisoner whether he wished
to my anything ?
Prisoner—" All as I have got to say is, I have no recollec-
tion of what I done after I got home."
Mr. liroderip--rrisoner at the bar, the case is complete
against you, but ns there is no certainty as to whether the
grand jury may or may not be cliKharged before the wit-
nesses can attend before them, I remand you until Satur-
day nest, on which day it will he my duty to commit you
for trial, upon the charge of wilful murder.

SOUTHWARK.
Joseph Neville, a mad-porter, was charged with commit-
ting a serious assault on his wife, who is now lyinrg in a bad
state in Guy's Hospital, from the injuries inflictetruk.ou her
by the prisoner.
`Police constable 176 L mid—About one o'clock yesterday
morning he was proceeding along Windmill-street, New.
cut, when his attention was attracted to a female lying on
the ground groaning. The prisoner was running away,
out he stopped him, and took him back, when the female
said he bad kicked her on the head in a desperate manner.
Ile called for assistance, and removed the woman to a Fur-
, aeon's, when it was discovered that her head was much
hurt, and he was directed to take her to the hospital. Wit-
ness produced a certificate from the house liurgeum, setting
forth that Sarah Neville was unable to leave her bed from
wounds inflicted on her head, and it was feared erysipelas
might follow.
In defence the prisoner said that while he was cnilea-
vouriug to get her into the house she fell with her head on
the kerbstone, and cut it.
The magistrate remanded him until Saturday next.
Edmore( Austin, in the employ of Messrs. Watkins, ex-
tensive bookbiaders, iu Gravel-lane, Smthwark, was charged
with stealing a great number of unbound llibleM, the pro-
perty of his employers, and selling them as waste paper to
tradesmen. . .

'thwnas Talmadge, foreman in the employ of the com-
plainants, stated that the prisoner had been fourteen mouths
in his situation, and that a few days since two hundred un-
bound volumes of a small edition of the Bible were given
to him fur the purpose of being what is termed papered
and premed. Out of the number thus entrusted to his
charge it was discovered that he had made away with 163
volumes, and, upon subsequent inquiries, it was ascertained
that he had plundered the premises of no immense quan-
tity of unbouud volumes of the Bible and sold them as
Nash! paper. A sack full of the paper he had disposed of
in the way mentioned was produced and identified by the
witness from certain private marks as the property of his
employers.
George Ketterman, a pork butcher in Kent-street, stated
that the prisoner called at his shop and enquired if he
bought waste paper, and went on to say that he could sup-
ply him with as much of the article as he pleased, adding
that he would let him have it at the rate M lid. per lb.
Witness assented, and purchased on various occasions large
quantities of unbound Bibles, the prisoner assuring him
that it was all right, and that they belonged to him. The
witness added that he had since delivered up the remaining
portion of what he had bought of the prisoner to the police,
end that all the rest lie bad used in his trade.
In reply to Mr. Elliott, the complainants' foreman stated
that there were nearly 100 persons more in his employers'
service, and that the prisoner no doubt must have taken
away the unbound volumes on those occasions that he left
the premises to go to his meals, and that it was easy to con-
ceal them by taking away small quantities at a time.
'three other pork-butchers living in the same neighbour-
hood gave evidence of their heving purchased the unbound
Bibles (produced) of the prisoner as waste paper, on his
assurance that they were spoiled copies and his own perqui-
sites. One of the witnesses said that upon the last occasion
the prisoner called upon him and said he also had a quart-
tity of " parliamentary paper" to dispose of, adding that
as it was of a better quality and larger size than the Bibles,
he Expected to have 2d. a pound for it.
The foreman said that his employer had acts of parlia-
' went to bind, and that no doubt the prisoner intended to
have sold them as waste paper in the same manner he had
I done the Bibles. . .

The prisoner, who said nothing in answer to the charge,
was conansittt4.
