THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9, 1867.

Coroner—You have known the deceased sax months?
Witness—Yes. The first time I saw deceased under the
influence of drink was one Saturday night, and she said
that she had a glass in the Ben Jonson. The prisoner is
my brother. I never saw him strike or kick the deceased.
At the oonelavion of her evidence the witness said—Mr.
Young, I want that waistcoat.
Coroner—Never mind it, ma'am. It show, what you
think of the deceased when you talk about a waistcoat
now.

Martha Wiggins, the prisoner's mother, recalled, said
that ►he recollected saying that she had found the de-
ceased in the room. _

Coroner—Repeat the statement of yesterday. We will
see if the two statements tally.
Witness—l found her on her two knees, bending for-
ward. I was behind her. I put n. 7 two hands round her.
I could not lift her up, she was too heavy. I tried to lift
her up ; I had to lay her down on the side of a pillow. It
might have been on the ground. I never touched the
pillow. Ido not know where the pillow came from. I
did not put the chair on her head. when I laid her down.
Coroner—lf you did not put it over her head, who did?
Witness—There were numbers of people there. I was
on the top of the stairs for two minutes after I left the
room. ISO person went into the room until Dunn and his
wife went in. I swear I did not place the chair over her
head. (While the witness was giving her evidence she
trembled violently.)
Coroner—l suppose you were shaking like that when
you held the deceased, and that made you think that she
trembled

_ .
Witnew—l do not know.
Dr. Horton re-called.

Coroner—Dr. Horton, one of the jurors wishes me to
ask if you think it possible for a woman having her throat
cut in the manner that the deceased had, to place a chair
over her head after she cut her throat
Dr. Horton—l think not.

Mn*a Wiggins, sister.in•Lw of the prisoner, swore that
the chemise was not torn when the body was about to be
laid out.

The whole of the depositions were then read over at the
prisoner's wish. The prisoner was afterwards sworn,
and made a statement to the effect that when he woke in
the morning the deceased came to his side and begged
him to forgive her. He said he could not, and
went to sleep again, and was awoke by tickling in his
throat, which he found to be caused by her attempt upon
his life. He bad not seduced her, as had been stated.
(This, the Coroner, from information which had been
tendered, did not believe.)
Mrs. Burt, re-called, said that she believed that the
deceased was a well-conducted young woman. like was a
meek girl and used to sit down and cry.
Ultimately the jury gave the following yerdict:—" That
Agnes Oakes was found dead with anincision in her throat,
and the said jurors do further say that how such inci-
sion was caused there is not sufficient evidence to show."
The prisoner was then removed, and when be was being
carried to the van, the crowd of some thousands of people
kept shouting out, " Open verdict, open verdict, open
verdict"

The excitement was intense. The priaoner, it is stated,
will be remanded to-day at the police-wart.

REFORM.

The Timis says some severe things of political parties—
saying of both whip and tories that they would at this
moment be happy to leave reform alone if it would only
do the same by them, and asserting that both have now
for a whole generation equally denied the claims of that
labouring class which is the staple of British industry.
The Doily News remarks that the paragr►ph in the
Queen's speech relating to representation speaks of an
extension, ant not a reduction, of the franchise, and this
distinction is one which Mr. Disraeli and the conservative
leaders have so frequently insisted on, that the choice of
the phrase is probably not accidental. On the other hand,
the notification that the balance of power must not be
unduly disturbed seems to indicate that some proper
transfer of political influence from those who have too
much to those who have too little or none is in the con-
templation of the government. Nevertheless, the adjust-
ment of the political balance affords so large a scope for
sleight of hand, that the operation needs to be carefully
watched.

The Herald represents the conservatives u wishing to
extend the franchise by selection, and this uiust be done
by instituting some test which shall constitute a proof of
superiority, of intelligence, of thrift, of social position.

•
The Daily News supporta the petition of a number of
widows or unmarried ladies, who ask that they may be
allowed to enter the constituencies in the ordinary
manner as baring forty-shilling freeholds, or as .10/. occu-
piers in counties, and as owners or tenanes of houses in
boroughs of the value of 101. a year. The presumption
which lies against the exercise of the franchise by wives
does not apply to them. AU the guarantees of a safe
exercise of public duties exist in their case in abundance.

WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.)

TIIVIt.DLY, BEBRL ART 7, 8 A.Y.
London, England, 1867-02-07

(Before Mr. Payne.)

Frederick Defoe, :I.r, a tall, powerful-looking man, was
indicted for a burglary at the dwelling-house of Henry
Green, 36, Bethnal-green, and stealing a tea-caddy therein.
Harmer, 101 K, Said at sic o'clock on the morning of the
2r,th of January he saw the prisoner standing in a room of
the prosecutor's house with& lighted match in one hand and
a box in the other. Witness said, " How came this window
open?" and he replied, " Oh, the young man who went to
work a short time ago left it open. I live in the house; it is
all right." Witness then closed the shutters, and seeing a
labourer passing told him to watch the front door while
ho went to the hack of the house. He went to the back
and captured the prisoner, who came out of the garden
gate. The prisoner said, " Oh, there are thieves in the
house, and they want a policeman—yeu run round there."
To this ingenious device the constable replied, "If they
want me I want you, so I shall take you to the station."
Witness then took the prisoner to the station.
The jury, without hearing the summing up, returned a
verdict of Grillg.
Warder Reeves, of the House of Correction, Coldbath-
fields ; principal warder O'Brien. of Millbank Prison ; and
Mr. Stephen Knight, of Dartmoor Prison, proved previous
convictions, including one of ten years' penal servitude,
against the prisoner.
Mr. Payne ordered him to be kept in penal servitude for
ten years.

SURREY SESSIONS.

THE CHARGE Of ATTEMPTED INCRDEB EY A SCHOOLBOY.

Robert Lott, 12, rather a nice-looking boy, was indicted
for maliciously wounding Jane Bourne, 12 years of age, by
striking her on the head with a hammer.
The prosecutria, a very intelligent-looking girl, said that
she attended the mos: ed school in Snows-fields, where she
met the prisoner and u'ed to play with him after school
hours. About three o'clock on the afternoon of the :rod
of last month she was in school, when he came up to her
and rid, " 111 have your life." The schoolmistress was
there at the time, and spoke to him when he left. A
short time after that, as she was leaving the school, the
prisoner suddenly pounced upon her and made an aim at
her bead with a hammer be had in his right hand. She
put up her hand to protect her head, when she received a
blow on the fingers, and immediately afterwards he struck
her on the head, cutting her severely. She ran back into
London, England, 1867-02-07

THE JAMAICA PROSECUTION.

Giving those who have thought St to prosecute
General Nelson and Lieutenant Brand credit for a disin-
terested wish to vindicate great principles which they
honestly believe to be essential to Cur own personal
aecurity, and admitting further that since the Holm, of
Commons failed to record any protest against the excesses
of martial law in Jamaica, and the friends of Mr. Eyre
most injudiciously held him up as an example for imita-
tion, their action is, to some extent, defensive—the Times
nevertheless firmly adheres to the opinion that evil rather
than good is likely to result from a prosecution ; the latter,
in all prob►bility, will prove abortive, and, whether abor-
tive or successful, must excite the utmost bitterness of
feeling not only in this country,but in the verycolony where
a renewal of mutual confidence is the one thing needful.
As to the legal question to be settled this is not whether
Gordon's execution was rendered lawful by virtue of
any royal prerogative of declaring martial law, but
whether the act of the Jamaica legislature, proclaiming
martial law in the county of Surrey, could or did
warrant the execution of Gordon, and whether the In-
demnity Act afterwards passed covers any illegality that
may have been committed.
Assuming that the execution of Cordon was illegal, the
Post contends nevertheless that the executive government
of Jamaica must be held guiltless because they conceived
that the only means of preserving the lives of the colonists
was by suspending the operation of all law. If they were
not right in their opinion of the extreme urgency of the
case, their impe►chment by parliament should be the only
remedy ; and if the Commons of England in their dis-
cretion did not see fit to impeach Mr. Eyre and his sub-
ordinates, the Post does not think the duty of bringing
them to justice should have been undertaken by private
prosecutors.
The Star puts the issue which will he tried, and con-
cludes with expressing a hope that as a judicial decision is
likely to be obtained no attempt will be made in the dia.
cussion to influence such decision. The Star thinks that
it reflects infinit honour on Mr. J. S. Mill and Mr. I'.
Taylor that they have undertaken on the highest public
grounds so grave and weighty ► task. Mr. Mills name is
an historic one, and it is peculiarly gratifying that by this
splendid set of moral courage he will be so prominently
associated with one of the greatest constitutional issues
ever raised before the judicial tribunals of this nation.

The report of the directors to the meeting on the

consisting of—Ordinary stock and shares, 5,373,006/. ;
preferential stock, 7,00.578/. ; mortgage debt, 2,740,861/.
debenture stock, 1,302,744/. • ' total, 16,462,191/. The
amount of capital expended has been 1,163,911/. The
gross revenue has been 660,6421., showing an increase of
40,901/. over the corresponding period of 1865, and making
the gross revenue of 1866 1,189,9441., or 73,745/. in excess
of the previous year. which itslf was 67,269/. in excess of
1864. A larger increase appears in the last two years
than in any previous year. The past year was, however,
unfavourable for the traffic of this company, not only on
account of the financial pressure, but of the very un-
seasonable weather in the autumn seriously interfering
with the family and tourist traffic to the south coast. The
expenditure for the past half-year shows an increase over
the corresponding half-year of 89,3'2/. This large increase,
however, consists to a great extent of expenses of an ex-
ceptional description, which are not likely to weigh upon
revenue in future years. This sum includes the following
items :—Compeneation wino out of the accideuts at hew

TR.UIC4' MONA.

The important consideration that trades' union societies
are practically in a position of outlawry, must command
attention, but the Timies thinks it obvious that other
points in connexion with the subject, such as their effect
on the national trade, occupy the thoughts of parliament.
It is the primary object of the unions to enhance the
value of labour, and this can only be done by diminishing
its abundance or artificially neutralising the cheapness
which abundance implies. In many trades it is unsafe—
indeed, it is hardly possible—to take a contract, for an
edict of the union may at any moment suspend the work.
At the pass to which things have now come, the subject
is exceedingly serious, and as legislation is indispensable,
it is best that it should be comprehensive. The unions
themselves were moving parliament to give them a legal
position, and parliament may as well improve the oppor-
tunity by a general inquiry. There is no fear in these
days of any encroachment upon the natural rights of
labour.

The Teleiraph says to legislate about trades' unions in
an unreformed parliament is very much like deciding a
law cause behind the defendant's back. Ours is a parlia-
ment of capitalists who make common cause together, and
it is hopeless to attempt any legislation which they deem
adverse to their interests. Would any but a capitalist
parliament tolerate the " Masters and Servants Act," by
which the breach of a civil contract is treated as criminal
on the part of the workman, though not on that of the
master? Would any but a capitalist parliament have
passed the statutes relating to the inspection of ooal mines,
statutes in which the interests of owners are plainly pre.
ferred to the safety of the miners
The Stawdard denounces trades' unions in terms of ex-
treme bitterness, and looks to the proposed commission as
certain to militate against them.

The Star hopes the working men will use their efforts
to get the whole scheme put aside until reform has been
accomplished. If there is any question which ought to be
postponed until a new part ameet has been elected under
• wider suffrage, it is surely such a question as that
vitally affecting the relative position of labour and capital.
It is, above all others, a question upon which the present
parliament is only qualified to give a one-sided judgment.

clean, end that he had been lying in the washhouse about
a month. The witness added that the washhouse was
paved with bricks and very damp. The stench from the
place was very bad.
Several of the neighbours were examined, from whose
evidence it appeared that one of the prisoner's girls had
been seen to take the child up by the hair of his head and
throw him down on the flag stones in the yard and kick
him. That kind of ill-treatment was repeated. The
child had been seen to pick things out of the sink and eat
them. He was seldom seen out of the washhouse, except
on washing-days, and be wore only a truck. One witness
said he looked a miserable object.
Mr. Darman remanded the prisoners for the attendance
of a surgeon and ordered the child to be sent to the work-
house. The prisoners were admitted to bail.
Joke Warren and a little boy named Herbert Morris
were charged u follows :
It appeared that late on Thursday night the attention
of Sergeant Hawes was called to a mob of between 400
and 1410 persons iu front of Ryland's house. The whole
of the windows in front of the house were smashed. He
saw the boy throw a stone at the house and the man
threw a can. _ .

Mr. Hayman said it was very unfair to exhibit such
feeling before the use had been decided. He called upon
the man (Warren) to find two sureties in 201. each for
hie good behaviour, and he discharged the boy with a
caution.

His frock and jacket were put over him. Witness un-
covered bin,, and inquired his name, when he said
" Ryland." He was shivering, and asked him to put the
things back upon him as he was cold. Witness then went
to the front door and knocked. He saw the male prisoner
and asked him why the child was put in the washhouse.
He said that because he was a dirty child and had bad
habits. The wife stated that they could not keep the child

The Emperor has ordered that his coronation as
King of Hungary shall take place on the Bth inst.,
notwithstanding the death of the Archduchess
Mathilda. All the fetes which were to have
taken place according to the programme on the
occasion of the coronation will however be omitted.
The official Evening Post says :—" Up to the pre-
sent the rumour stating that the worst fate had
befallen the Emperor Maximilian has not been con-
firmed by any despatch received by the Austrian
minister at Washington. The fact of no news
being received justifies us in hoping that the dreaded
eventuality has not occurred."

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE
EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.
PARIS, Juxs 6, EVENING.

To-day, at the entrance to the Bois de Boulogne,
a young man, about 20 years of age, rushed at the
imperial carriage as it drove past and tired a pistol
at the Czar. The pistol, being overloaded, burst,
and the two Emperors escaped without injury.
The review was of a very brilliant character, and
the crowd was immense.
PARK Jrxe 6, 10.30 r.w.

As the Emperor Napoleon and the Czar were
retuning from the review, held to-day in the Bois
de Boidogne, a young Pole, apparently about 20
years old, entered the Bois and fired a pistol at
the Czar, who was in a carriage with his two eons
and the Emperor of the French. The pistol being
overloaded burst, and the hand Of the would-be
assassin was carried away by the explosion. Ha
fell down, crying, " Long live Poland." Both Em-
perors escaped unhurt. The crowd wanted to hang
the Pole on the spot, and the cheering became
louder than ever.

THE CANDIAN QUESTION.

PARIS,Juss 6.
The Patric of this evening says :—" The no-
tiations in the question of Candia have entered a
phase, based upon a general understanding of the
great Powers. The Emperor Napoleon has pro-
posed that an international commission shall in-
quire into the present disposition and the
grievances of the Cretans. We hope that all the
cabinets will accept this proposition. England
and Austria have already declared themselves
favourable to it." The Etendard of this evening
announces that conferences were opened on the
25th ult. at Vienna for the conclusion of a treaty
of commerce between Austria and Switzerland.

Tar Ammzerr ?O me Prem.—We read in the
Paris Temps of yesterday:—"The Offlttial Warsaw Journal
of June 2 brings us the text of toe muse or use rssch May,
concerning the amnesty accorded to the Poles. The tele-
graph bad only too faithfully reproduced its spirit and
principal conditions. It is only too true that, to return to
their homes, the unfortunate people confined in the jute-
rior of the Russian empire will previously bare to ob-
tain a sativfecit from the loom autnonties. toe same
condition is enforced with persons removed from their
dwelling by administrative measures; the return of the
ecclesiastics is subjected to still more rigorous precautions;
it is subordinated to the personal authorisation of the
lieutenant of the Emperor in Poland. There is no men-
tion in the oboe of the restitution of the o3nfisosted
property. Possibly among the Russian people a measure
surrounded with such precautions is called an amnesty ;
but in the West the word amnesty has a larger, higher,
more comprehensive, and more humane significance."

been grievously defeated in this case. I have no alternative
but to regard at se • refusal on the part of the grand jury I
to allow any judicial inquiry into charges of an unosually
grave nature, which in the interests both of humanity and
the public good imperatively required as impartial lama.
station. Bat the further intimation, that such conduct is no
other than is to beanticipated from every grand jury that
can be formed in Jamaica imparts to the case a serious
significance as regards the reforms required in the system
under which justice is administered. It is the duty of her
Majesty's government to consider very carefully this state
of affairs ; and I have to request you to furnish me at the
wheat date with a full report of the practical working of
the grand jury system in the colony. Meanwhile, under the
circumstances which you have stated, and which make it
clear that no other result can be anticipated from a further
prosecution of Mr. Ramsay at any subsequent assizes, and
that the continuance of criminal proceedings would only
tend to keep alive those feelings of irritation in the colony
which it is my earnest wish to see replaced as soon as
possible by healthier and safer objects of interest, I do
not consider that it would be for the public advantage to
attempt to carry this question further.
In a minute on Mr. Ramsay's case, Governor Grant ex-
presses himself yet more strongly upon the conduct of the
grand jury, and says that he cannot guess the ground on
which they acted, as they had before them prisoner's
written admission of the act charged. "The case," the
governor says, "is left to the world upon the judge's charge,
which will carry conviction to every unprejudiced mind as
an apparent case of murder, which can only change its
frightful aspect on the establishment of a plea in justifica-
tion, excuse, orexplanation, and the finding of *grand jury
prevents all examination of the merits of any such plea."
"No Englishman," the governor says, " could in a calm
retrospective view of the occurrence dare to say that any
deportment of the poor creature Marshall in his agony
could be such as to merit death." The governor, without
hesitation, dismissed Ramsay from kis office of Inspector
of Police, and Earl Carnarvon approved of the decision.
