ATTISNIFT TO 111711D1R.--John Reins;, *god 42, was
charged with having cat and stabbed bin wife Sarah Banns;
with intent to murder. The offence bad been unzuniteed m
far bath as Jan. 24, 1845, but when aneigoed, being moved
to be insane, his plea could not then he taken; haring since
recovered he was now brought to answer the charge. He
had of late years been considered of weak intellect, and
had been watched. While at the house of a brother-.in-law
(Cottrell), it was arranged that for the night ho wee there
Cottrell should sleep with him, Mn.s Cottrell sleeping in
another room with her chid. In the course of the nigh.,
the prisoner seized Cottrell by the neck, and sfterwarrie
cried and hired him. Hs then went into his slat.4r's
broom and behaved to extravagantly, as to render
it necessary to put on a straight weistor it. He
subsequently became better, end married his resist wife on
Tuesday, the 21st of January, and they slept el, an Me at
Water-Orton. Nothing important occurred esti,. the follow-
ing Friday, when about three in the morn tag, he was rest-
less, and said to ins wife, "he hoped she would stick close
to him ;" he then took a knife from cut of his *thee,
having previously said he would put them on sod go out.
The wife finding the door locked, tried to get the knife tram
him, but he iellided a wound in his own threat, 'eying,
they had lived and loved together, gad should die together.
He then asked if she was preps/el to die with hire,
and wounded her in the timed and cheek. They
had fallen on the floor ; ake got up and ran to
the window, broke it, and cried murder. Ttr 0
prisoner then got up, end called out "Oh dear, -see
what they have done." He then got out of the
window. There was no doubt the man was at that time
insane, though the medical men are of opinion that he to now
quite recovered. The prisoner, when his wife NUM ;into the
witness-box, began to laugh, otherwise he was tionrdoeed end
behaved well. The jury acquitted him on the ground of
insanity, and he was ordered tube detained till l'.eridajesty's
pleasure should be known.

MURDER or A HUSBAND at are WIFE.—Ces Merino
Foster, aged 18, was indicted for the murder of her husband,
John Fr".ter, by mixing anemic in • dumpling which he par-
took of. On the prisoner being arraigned at the dock, she
twitse ed but little alarm at the awful position she stood in.
Tb e facts adduced in support of the prosecution were most
extraordinary. The prisoner, daughter of a woman, named
Morley, and the deceased, John Foster, had been ac-
quainted with each other for several years, and their
marriage took place at their village church in the coarse
of last October, they passing the first week of the
honeymoon at her mother's house, the parent, on each aide
having given their consent to the marriage. After that
period, from some unexplained reasons she soddenly left her
home, and came to this town (Bury) and did not return for ern
days, when she told some of her friends, that had she gone to
Bury before her marriage with Foster, she would not have had
him. The deceased was stated to be a healthy young man,
and until the day of his death bad not been knows scarcely
to have a serious illness. The circumstances of his demise

-
are three On November 17, having been married three
weeks exactly, he returned home about seven o'clock in the
evening in perfect health, and sat down with the prisoner
and her brother, Thomas Morley, eight years of age, to
sapper. The meal was the usual description amongst farm-
ing labourers in that part of the county, consisting of pots.
toes, dumplings, and tea. The prisoner and deceased seemed
friendly, at least such is the statement of the boy who was
with them. The deceased ate heartily; but before be had
finished supper he complained of a sudden attack of heart-
burn, and shortly afterwards he became violently sick, vo-
miting continually. The prisoner assisted him to bed, and
getting worse, the mother emit the prisoner for sixpenny-
worth of brandy, which she mixed with Nome oatmeal and
