THE MURDER AT VAUXHALL.
Patrick Cane, 43, Joh* Ifichey, 23, labourers, ski Jena
MEllicott, 19, tailor, were indicted for the wilhl =UMW
of Henry James Chaplin, a police-constable, by. stall
and beating him with stones on the head, and by sail*,
other violence upon him.
Mr. Ryland and Mr. Clerk conducted the
Mr. Hallantine and Mr. Parnell were counsel Z 77411.
11011 AM
Tim kinnsel for the prosecution having opened the Mss,
the Mewing evidence was adduced.
Hewed Newton, a police constable of the L division,
awned that he was on duty with the deceased on the
lemening of the nth of May in Vauxhall-walk. About one
O'clock in the morning ho heard a great noise in the 'treat
at the lower end, near the Pheasant public-house. Witness
proceeded in the direction where the disturbance was, ac-
companied by the deceased, and they found the prisoner,
and several other men hallooing and making a great noise.
Deceased told them if they did not go home quietly he
would lock one or two of them up, and the men upon this
made a greater noise than ever. Witness told Hickey and
MsEllicett to go home quietly, as it was very late, and he
then Writ to remonstrate with some others of the party
who were on the opposite aide of the way, While he was
so engaged he observed that four or five of the
men walked away, but very soon afterwards they
all rushed back again towards the deceased, and he saw
Hickey strike him with something that appeared like a
brick-bat, and the deceased staggered agamet a window
shutter, and drew his staff, and menet at Hickey. Wit-
ness ran acmes the road, and he then saw Lane strike the
deceased on the left side of the head near the temple. The
effect of this blow was to cause Chaplin to fall to the ground,
and as he was falling he was struck again by some per-
son whom witness could not recogume. Witness seised
hold of Cane at this moment, and struck him with his
staff over the temple, and at the same moment ho
was struck by • stone on the left shoulder and
knocked down. He kept hold of Cane, and contrived
to get up, but was knocked down again, and
en has getting up a second time he ran up Salamanca-street,
and sprung his rattle. The men then all ran away, leaving
the deceased lying on the ground, and some other consta-
bles came up anal he assisted in conveying the deceased to
the Queen's Head public-house. In consequence of infor-
mation he afterwards received he went about ten minutes
afterwards to 49, Vauxhall-walk, and on his going is he
saw Hickey coming out of a washhouse door, and he was
bleeding from the side of the head. Witness took him into
custody, and he was told that he was charged with assault-
ing one of the constables, and he repli.d that he had not
been out of the house. The priemer was then asked
by another constable how the blood :came upon kis
hands, and he replied that his nose had been bleeding.
He at first said he would go (piety, but when the
attempted to take him out of the house he began to kick
and plunge about. Upon their getting into the street he
saw M'Ellicott, and he was taken into custody. Witness
then went a second time into the house, and found Cane
there, with his head bleeding, and he was about to go out
of the back-door when be was stopped and taken into cus-
tody, and on being told what he was charged with, he said
that he would go with them. When they laid hold of him,
however, he struggled violently, and it was only after a
great deal of resistance that they ,acceded in getting him to
to the station-house. The deceased was taken to his own
house, and was afterwards removed to the hospital,
where he died. Witness did not see Cane among the
men who were making the disturbance in the brat
instance, and the first be-
saw of him was when he struck
the deceased near Salamanca-street, and at that time he had
no blood upon his head.
Cross-examined—Witness had only been in the police
force five weeks when this occurrence took place, and at was
the first row he had been engaged in. The men were
making a loud discordant noise. lie could not hear what
they said, but it seemed as though they were singing. lie
had since learned that there were as many as sixteen men
lodging at No. 49. There was a good deal of confusion,
and bnckbats were thrown about in all directions. Ten or
eleven men were taken into custody upon the charge of
being concerned in the attack upon the deceased. Did not
know any of the men before, but he was sure the prisoners
were the men who had acted in the way he described. The
prisoners appeared to have been drinking, but he did not
consider they were much intoxicated.
William Loney, police amstable 201 L, said that at the
time referred to he was on duty in Glasshouse-street, Vaux-
hall-walk, and heard the springing of a rattle at the top of
the walk. lie went in that direction, and just as he got to
No. 49, Vauxhall-walk, he observed four men coming to-
wards him. They werethethree prisoners, and a fourth man
whom he did not know. Cane and Hickey went into No.
49, and the other two ran on • and witness continued to
walk on until he found the deceased lying upon the ground
insensible, and be assisted to convey him to the Queen's
Head public-house. Witness afterwards went to No. 49
with Newton, anal assisted to take the prisoners into custody.
Hickey took a handkerchief from his neck, which he pro-
duced, and which was bloody at the time. Hickey was
drunk, but he was able to stand and walk.
Cross-exarained—He believed he had seen the prisoners
before at the White Lion public house. Cane and M'Ellicott
had hats on when he law them, and Hickey had a cap on.
Hickey did not account for the blood that appeared upon
his neckerchief and face, by saying that he had been struck
by one of the constables in the house. A constable named
Curtis went with him to No. 49. Did not see him with his
staff out just before Hickey was taken into custody.
Thomas Stream,' another constable, gave evidence of a
similar character to ;hat of the preceding witnesses. He also
proved that entrance was obtained to the house in Vauxhall-
walk, where the prisoners were taken, by breaking open a
back door. He likewise proved hat upon going iu
he saw the prisoner Hickey come up from a place like a
coal-cellar, and he observed blood upon his hands and face.
He asked him how the blood came upon his hands, anal he
put them behind him, and denied there was any blood on
them; and be laid hold of his hands and showed him the
blood, and he then accounted for it by saying that his nose
had been bleeding.
Mr. R. Sharpe, the landlord of the White Lion public
house, High-street, Vauxhall, proved that the prisoners
Cane and Hickey were at his house on the evening of the
4th of May, and they left about half-past 12 on the follow-
ing morning. At that time they were both sober and COM.
fortable.
Cross-examined. —A man named Harrington was at his
house on the same evening. When Hickey went away he
wore a hat. A man named Clarey left just before Hickey.
Ile had on • black frock coat and a cap. Witness had never
seen him since that night, but before he was in the habit if
coming almost every day. Hickey was a remarkably quiet,
well-conducted mau, and bore a very good character. Can.
was also a very quiet man. They were both employed al
the gas works. Clarey was the only man who had left the
neighbourhood. There had been a meeting at tars house
for the purpose of making a collection for Clarey, who had
been out of work. All the party went away within a few
minutes of each other.
Re-examined—There were forty men, at least, of the
puty. Ile could not recollect how they were all dressed,
but he could speak positively to the dress of Hickey, because
he remembered his asking hint for more drink at the bar, a.
he was going away, and he refused to supply him. There
was no blood upon any part of the persons of the prisoners
when they left his house.
Streames re-called—When Hickey was taken into custody
he had n cap on.
Michael O'Connor deposed that he lived at 49, Vauxhall-
walk. He was at the White Lion public house on the night
of the 4th of May, and taw all the prisoners there, and
they remained in the house after he left, at about a quarter
rot twelve o'clock at night. lie could not my how Hickey
'Opirtr lianiewt. bared on that night.
Nicholls, another police-constable, proved that
li 'es be was taking MEllieott to the police-station he asked
Ida what he was taken for, and witness replied that the in-
eligibles& the station, or the magistrate, would inform him,
Untediemmil that he knew nothing about the murder.
hth eat said anything about murder to him before
belt* tli diservation.
Minn I#eHw Oengh, a police-sergeant, proved that he
=bithe garden of a house near the place where the
took place, and found that a number of potter's
111111111M1 or binders had been removed from the edge of
fiewer-bed. He had since compared some pieces of clinkers
that were found close to the spot where the deceased fell,
and they corresponded with the vacant spaces on the flower
garden.
Mr. Theodore Edward Ladd, a surgeon, residing in Ws.-
tot-place. Lambeth, deposed that he saw the deceased at
his own house, about three o'clock on the morning of tie
sth of May. He was perfectly insensible. His face was
very much bruised, and there was a lacerated would
over the right eyebrow, and also • very exten-
sive wound as the left side of his witch
communicated with a fracture in the skull, :he
bone of whisk vaned upon the brain. There were no

RAILWAYS.

THIS DAY, Two o'Ctoex.
The share market continues to labour under de-
pression, consequent upon the absence of the public
as buyers, and the steady pressure of sales. These
operations are the effect of avaricty of circumstances :
of late the embarrassments at Liverpool, in connexion
with the failure of the widely-spread cotton specula-
tion, as previously noticed, have had a powerful
effect in inducing the selling of share securities, and,
again, many of the late operators for a rise, by
whose medium quotations were materially assisted in
their upward movement a few months back, have been
quietly getting out of their stock, as opportunity
offered for the realisation of profit. Upon these con-
siderations is probably based no inconsiderable
amount of " bearing" operations, and the present
tendency of the market—otherwise inexplicable in
the face of the greatly improved traffics—may be
thus accounted for without difficulty. To-day prices
opened rather worse again, and most of the
business figures show a decline, but a favourable re-
action has since occurred, the tone being now steadier.
Still the present general range is not equal to that
of yesterday.

MONEY MARKET
THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocx.
The English stock market remains very quiet,
and prices have not varied beyond the " turn" as
between buyer and seller. Of speculative opera-
tions in Consols there are few, and the business
is thus mainly restricted to the routine
transactions in the money stocks, which include the
usual purchases on account of the Commissioners for
the Reduction of the National ])ebt. Generally, there
is a lull in speculation in the Stock Exchange, but
the largest amount of attention is at present directed
to the share market, the downward course of which,
in view of the prosperous appearance which railway
property really presents, is looked upon with inte-
rest and no small degree of surprise.
Consols have remained at yesterday's range of 961
to a, ex div. for the 17th J-uly. The business list
embraces:—Three per Cent. Consols for the opening,
961 2 cx div. • Three per Cent. Reduced, 97, k; New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent., 9s, t, 98, I; Long
Annuities, 1860, 7 1-16; ditto 30 years, 1839, 7 1-16.
Bank Stock, 212,1,-.
The unfunded securities appear steady. Exchequer
Bills 1,0001. mark 455. and 425. prcm; ditto smaller
sizes 465. and 425. pm.; India Bonds, under 1,0001.,
655. prem.
There is no change to notice in the foreign stock
aaarkeL the operations being much too insignificant
to produce any material impression upon prices.
Mexican Bonds are a shade steadier than yesterday.
Spanish Actives are a trifle flatter. The list of '
to-day's transactions stands thus :—Buenos Ayres
Six per Cents. for account 27th June, 55,1. Danish
Five per Cents., 104. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 60!, 4. Mexican Bonds, for account, 34!
Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents.. 1024, I. gpa-
nish Active Five per Cents., for account, 204, 4;

The total receipts on the corresponding lines
being 244,3431. in 1851, and 196,5421. in 1850,
the increase is shown to be 47,8011., or 24 per
cent. The number of miles open was in 1851, 3,6741,
and in 18.50, 3,4531, showing an increase of 221
miles, or 61 per cent. The aveisme return per mile
per week was in 1851, e,61. 9s. 6d7, and in 1850, 56/.
18s. The returns this year embrace the Whitsun-
tide traffic, but the very favourable comparison pre-
sented by the above figures attests how materially
the season traffic has been increased by the Exhibi-
tion. Both the ordinary and extraordinary traffic
are much augmented by the events of the year. The
ilmost remarkable increase is exhibited in the London
and North Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Lon-
don and South Western, South Eastern, Great Nor.
them, and Brighton lines.

The coat book system has been for the first time
applied to the working of minerals in the case of the
Devon Hayter Granite Company. If this example
should be adopted it is not impossible that the work-
ing of quarry produce in the west of England may
have the same extension as that of copper, tin, silver
and lead.
