A WOMAN KILLED BY HER HUSBASH.-011 Mon-
day night a woman was killed as Bath by her husband,
under the following melancholy circumstances. On that
evening a carpenter named Joseph ('lark, about 39 years of
age, who had torn at work at Brislingtoo, near Bristol,
returned home to his residence, No. 5, Lampard's-build-
, ings, when he found his wife in a state of intoxication.
Exasperated by her conduct, he struck her, and a violent
quarrel and blows ensued. which were heard by the
lodgers in the house. who, however, unfortunately did
not interfere until Clark was heard calling fur assistance to
a Mrs. Langley, who lived in the parlours. Mr. Langley,
accompanied by another man named Wilcox, immediately
ran up stairs ; upon entering Clark's room they found him
in a sitting posture against the wall, supporting his wife
and shaking her, apparently fur the purpose of 'winging her
to a state of eunsciowness. Her person presented marks of
great violesee and the room was in confusion. Clark, on
seeing the men enter, immediately exclainted " I am
afraid I have dune a bad job." They then re-
, moved the unfortunate woman from Aim, upon which she
gave a convulsive gasp and immediately expires'. On
the fluor was found a stick broken into three pieces, and
clotted with blood. Clark was given at once into the
custody of the police. Yesterday (Wednesday) the
prisoner was brought before the magistrates at the Guild-
. hall, and charged with the wilful murder of his wife. A
puliee-eunstable, who was called into the house immedi-
ately after the occurrence, stated that he took Clark into
custody, and charged hint with killing his wife, and he re-
plied, "I am the cause of her death." lie said, " I first
pushed her down (pointing to the foot of the bed, where
there was a large pool of blood), I then helped her up, and
sat her in the window ledge. I afterwards beat her with a
stick." The stick was found on the floor, broken in three
or four pieces. On one of the pieces was a quantity of
hair wound round it, and blood. Ile also found a woman's
cap thrust into the tire-grate. There was uo tire in the
grate. There was a quantity of hair in the cap. The pri-
soner said, That was them before I Caine home, and the
hair on the floor was there when I came home." This was
the only evidence taken, and the prisoner was remanded
for a week.
