Some further evidenc., was taken this morning to WI
case of Henry Kirk, the adjudication in whose case Is
questioned, on the ground at there being no trading.
Mr. Kirk deposed that he had been in custody for debt
nearly four mon.hs, at the suit of Mr. Adams, banker, of
Ware. He petitioned the insolvent Court ab)ut the 12th
July last, but had not filed his schedule. He then found
that, sting a tru,:er, he could go through the Bankruptcy
Court. Ile had bad a conversation on the subject with Mr.
A. Nis'tett, solicitor, son of the petitioning creditor. He
bad become connected with the Cattle-market Company in
1816 ; be suggested its tatablishment to Mr. Ilicstbrook
and others. lie joined the company as a director, and had
20 .bares .llotted to him, M consideration of the large

outlay he had incurred in preliminary expenses. His name
wm inserted in the deed of settlement as director and
manager. Nichols, and other perfume under him, bought
the hay. HI toad them how much to buy ; they judged of
the quality and price. Vey large quantities were bought
and sold, and the profit was very large. The bay might
have been sold to any one.
Furtaer proceedings in the case were then adjourned to
this day.

CENT.RAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COL:RT.-YESTERDAY.
SWORE ■t. JI•IFICY CRINNOWLII. AND MIL JUSIICII WILLIAM%
CHARGE OF WILFUL MURDER.

James Ilayes, 39, an Irish labourer, was indicted for the
wilful murder of his wile, Elisabeth Hayes.
The learned counsel for the prosecution opened the case
to the jury, and the following evidence was then adduced.
Mary Anne Hymens uid—l live with my husband at
Shepherd's Bush Market. I knew the prisoner and his wife,
and remember seeing them about half-past ten o'clock at
night on the lich September, near the Stewart's Arms,
Shepherd's Bush Market. I said to the prisoner, "There
stands your wife," end be turned round to me end said,
"It will be the last time." I made nn answer to him. The
deceased appeared quits sober, and the prisoner did not
seem to be much in liquor.
Crowe:mined—The reason I spoke to the primer was
because I thought he did nut see his wife. lam sure the
prisoner uid nut say that ho should not care if it was the
last time that he saw her.
Thomas Taylor, a labouring man, said—About half-past
eleven o'clock, on the night in question, I was standing
with a man named George near the Stcwart's Arms, Shep-
herd's Bush Market, and l saw the 'prisoner and the de-
emed. She asked the prisorer to go home, and be imme-
diately stem k her on the hotly end knocked her down. She
got up, and he knocked ner down a second time. She
then ran behind me end George for protection, and I told
her to getaway, u I thought perhaps her husband might
think I was harbouring her. The prisoner came up and
kicked at her, and said "he would kick her braise
out." Tho deceased ran away, and the prisoner called out
that he would do for her. The deceased went away in the
direction of the Queen's Arms, and I saw no mote of her.
Them were a good many people in the market when this
occurred. _ .

Emily Shirley said —I was coming Lome between
ten and eleven o'clock on Saturday night, the
17th of September, and I saw the prisoner in
the market at Shepherd's Bush. He knocked a woman
down in the market and she got ue and walked away, and
I saw no more of her then. Later In the evening I saw the
same woman again. She was going down by the Royal
Hotel towards a place called Robiuson's Gate and Shep-
herd's Bush back gardens. I was going in the same direc-
tion and we joined together at Robinson's-gate. I saw
the prisoner standing just past the gate. When we came
up he turned as though he was coming towards us, and the
woman turned round to follow him. The prisoner stopped
and laid hold of the woman and rammed her neck against
the rails of the gate with Loth his hands. Arm" this they
went away together, and I saw no more of them. (This
witness was unable to speak to the identity of the person of
the deceased, but she recognised some articles of clothing
worn by her on the night in question.)
After some corroborative evidence,
Richard Kenny, a carpenter, said—On Sunday morn-
ing, the llth of September, I was passing the buildings re-
ferred to by the last witness, and in consequence of some-
thing I heard I went into the buildings and found eke de.
ceased l7ing in the excavation formed for the purpose eithe
foundation of the houses. She was lying on her teeth end
her shawl was turned over her head. I pulled her over em
her back, and unpinned her bonnet and stays. I found she
was alive but senseless. Her right eye was swollen and
closed up, and there was the mark of a blow upon the
corner of her mouth. The deceased was in the act of
vomiting when I turned her over.
James Titling, a police constable, proved that he went
to the buildings, and found the deceased in the condition
described by the last witness, and he had her taken to the
pike station. He also proved that he was present when
the prisoner was apprehended on the following day, and
said that when he was told he was taken into custody on
account of his wife, he replied " If my wife likes to get
drunk, which she will de, and knock herself about with a
brick, I cannot help it."
Edward Lines, a labouring man, deposed that be married
the sister of the deceased. Oa the 11th September, in con-
sequence of something be beard, be went to the prisoner
and asked him if he had heard anything about his wife.
He said he had heard a little, but, thank God, he knew
nothing about it. Witness then told him that she was at
the police station very bad, end that no one would be
allowed to see her, but her sister or her husband. lie saw
the prisoner again at a later hour of the day, and be said he
had not been home and he then ealled,out, " Success
to tho Brickeys who did her job for her, though I did
not wish to hurt the hair of her head. I have not lived
with her for two years."
Cross-examined—On the night before the deceased was
found dead she was drinking with witness and her husband,
and some other men. They had two half-pints of gin, and
the deceased partook of both. The prisoner and his wife
appeared on very good terms et this time.
Mr. John Brown, the surgeon, who made the post mortem
examination of the deceased, described the injuries she had
received, and stated that her death was occasioned by
effusion of blood upon the brain, the result of these injuries.
On his cross-examination by Mr. Sleigh he expressed
a confident opinion that the injury upon the right eye was the
effect of a blow, and that it could not have been occasioned
by a fall.
Mr. John Knight, a grocer at Bayswater, deposed that the
prisoner and the deceased were at his shop together at about
20 minutes past 12 at night on the 10th September. They
purchased some grocery goods, and he did not observe that
they appeared at all on bad terms.
Mr. Sleigh, at the close of the case for the prosecution,
addressed the jury on the part of t)W prisoner, and in the
course of a forcible and able speech he urged the evidence
did not establish the case so clearly against the pri-
soner as to compel them to come to the irresisti-
ble conclusion that he bad of his malice aforethought, ac-
cording to the terms of the indictment destroyed the life of
the unfortunate deceased. lie also urged that there was
nothing to show that the deceased might not have met her
death in the manner suggested ny the prisoner, namely, by
her having, while in a drunken state, fallen into company
with a number of " brickeye," as they were termed, or brick-
makers, at whose hands she might have received the fatal
injuries which led to her death. The learned counsel also
submitted to the jury the possibility that the deceased
might have fallen accidentally into the place where she was
found, and so have met her death; and, in conclusion, he
pressed upon them to consider whether, even supposing
they should be of opinion that the deceased bad lost her
life by the hands of the prisoner, they might not Wee a
merciful view of the enc., under all the circumstances, so
far as to say that he did not contemplate the commission of
the awful crime of murder, but that his offence amounted
to manslaughter only.
Mr. Justice Williams summed up, and the jury, after
deliberating a short time in the box, expressed their wish
to retire.
They left the court at a quarter to 7 ,'clock, and returned
at a quarter past 8, and gave a verdict by which they de-
elven the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter.
The prisoner was immediately called up for judgment,
and the learned judge sentenced hint to be transported for
life.
Elizabeth Widgery, 25, was indicted for the wilful mur-
' der of a male child.

The jury. after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict
of of Guilty.

THE POLICIi COURTS.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Friend Ecenden, a man between GO and GO years of age,
was brought betore the Lord Mayor under the following

Polite constable William Hall, (141.1, deposed that he was
on duty the previous evening in Wormwood.strees, when
the defendant, who was drunk, and driving a mourning-
coach and pair, suddenly drove his horses on the pavement,
close
,to the shop windows of the houses, and narrowly
escaped gomg into a deep hole which had been opened for
the repair of the common sewer, and which Ras only a few
feet from the kerbstone. The constable said that tie had
very great difficulty in getting the coach and horses into
the road again, when he took these to the greenyard and
the defendant to the station. house.
The Lord Mayor (to the defendant)—What have you to
say in answer to the charge ?
Defendant—l deny it, my lord. I was net drunk.
The Lord Mayor—How came you to he on the pavement ?
Defendant—l was not on the pavement.
Officer—lie was fast asleep, my :ord.
Defendant—No, I wasn't, indeed. I only took the wrong
turning; instead of going to the right, I went to the left.
(Laugh: n.l
Officer—There were two large gas lights, my lord, to warn
pessen-by of the hole, and the defendant n could have
seen them. When I sleeks him, I asked him where be was

going, and be replied, Hume, to 6ny's-inn-road." In-
stead or that, he was proceeding towards W:itte,chapel.
The Lord Mayor (to deft ndant)—You have :tided to the
crime of drunkenness, and the danger to which you ex-
posed her Majesty's subjects, by declaring that you were
sober. It is very had to be drunk, and much worse not to
know that yr a were 13. Where did you get drunk ?
Defendant—Well, my 1. rd, I bad been at a black job,
' and, debuts', I bad a little drop of gin there ; and as it
was reining very hard when I was cornitg away, and being
afraid of getting wet through, I took another little drop.
(Laughter.)
The Lord Mayor—What do you call a little drop"—a
pint ?
Defendant—Oh, dear no, my lord, nothing of the sort.
If I had taken halt that quantity I should have been as
tight" es a drum. (Laughter.) I have been '26 years in
I my present situation, and have never born in the habit of
getting a little too much except on my birthday, as is:the
case witl. 'nos. people. (Increased laughter.)
The L.ad Mayor—No, indeed it is nut. If ever you are
brought here again fur a similar offence I sha:l send you to
'f..o must now pay a fine of ss. or suffer seven
days' imprisonmee:.
The iierendant paid the money and was liberated.
I....trei, Andes, who was summoned this dry weft, at
the instance of the City Commission of Sewers on a
charge of having neglected to comply with tho regulations
of the commiuien in respect to some bou,es beleng:ug to
him in FirebalLeourt, again appeared. It will be recol-
lected that the se %era' summonses which had been taken
out against him were adjourned to this day, fur the pur-
pose of enablicg him to get rid of the tenants of the
houses.
Mr. Davis, from the office of Mr. T. Tyrrell, solicitor to
the commission, again attended for the complainants, atd
said that, since tb- termer hearing of the c.e.e, the de:r rod-
ent had got rid of all the tenants except those at No. 9,
Fireball-court, and that these, he was given to understand,
were about to quit.
The defendant said, that not one of the tenants would be
in the house after to-night, es ho had taken effectual means
to get rib of them, and had already put locks on the doors
of those houses which he bad Biretta y succeeded in dispos-
sessing eitheir occupants. He also said that by having
adopted the views or the Commission, and acted upon the
advice of the Lord Mayor, he had made suck alterations
and improvements in the houses that he would ho enabled
to iet them at a much higher rent than he had heretofore
received for them.
The Lord Mayor.—The summonses will stand over for a
month, in order that the defendant may have the fullest
opportunity of putting all the houses in such a state of
repair, comfort, and cleanliness, as the Commissioners
desire.
