THE MURDER NEAR GUILDFORD.-011 Saturday
afternoon James Longhurst. aged 19, was charged on re-
mand before Mr. J. Mettle Molyneux with the wilful mur-
der of Jane Saxe. The following deposition of the child,
taken by Mr. J Macdonald at the hospital on Wednesday
morning, wasput in and read "On the same day I was
brought to this hospital I met the prisoner in • footpath
which leads from Shere to Gomshall. The prisoner was
holding open a gate, and as soon as I pawed through he
took hold of me and squeezed me, and laid me down in the
footpath, and laid on the top of me for • little while. He
then picked me up and took me into • wheat field amongst
the wheat, and threw me down and pat his hand up my
clothes. I cried out, and prisoner tried to choke me. When
be was holding open the gate I saw • knife in hie hand.
Whilst I was in the wheat field he cut me with the knife
and I ran away, and I called out to David Edger,
and he came. The prisoner is the boy. I am quite
sure he is the boy who did it." David Edser said, at a
few minutes after 7 o'clock in the evening of the 28th June
he was on his way to Slime, from Gomahall, &CMS the
fields, and hearing a faint cry he looked and saw a child on
a bank in a wheat field, with her face and neck covered
with blood. He asked her who had done it, and she said
" that boy." He then looked round and saw the prisoner
running away about 100 yards off. He called out to him,
but he took no notice, aad he ran after him and brought
him back to the girl. He then asked her, "Is this the '
boy," and she said " Yes." He carried the child to Shere
to Dr. Capron, and then gave information to the police,
and the accused was taken into custody. Dr. Capron and
other medical witnesses proved the nature of the
wounds in the child's throat ; one was quite sufficient
to cause death. Four knives were found on the prisoner,
and one, which was such a one as might have inflicted the
wounds, bad blood upon it. The medical men also ex-
pressed an opinion that although dying, • person with such
injuries as deceased had would. be of sound mind so as to
speak to individual identity. Police-constable Lambert
proved when he charged the prisoner with attempting to
murder Jane Saxe, and took him into custody, he made no
reply, but licked blood off his left hand with his tongue,
and wiped it off. When confronted with the girl at Mr.
Capron's surgery the girl said he was the boy, to which
he then replied, " I did not do it." When witness first
took the four knives from his pocket the one produced had
a good deal of blood on it. The prisoner, being advised to
reserve his defence, aid nothing in reply to the charge,
and was fully committed for trial for the murder.

EXTRAORDINARY MURDER LN IRELAND.—On
Wednesday a trial for a strange murder commenced at Cork
before Mr. Justice Fitzgerald. A woman, about 33 years
of age, and a man named David Joyce, ware indicted for
having, on the 20th of November, 1863, at Ballyoromen,
feloniously killed Wm. Walsh, the husband of the female
prisoner. Joyce was a farm servant in the employment
of the deceased, and it appeared that he had been carrying
on a criminal intercourse with Mrs. Walsh, which caused
bad feeling and much quarrelling between husband and
wife. For some time previously to the alleged murder
they had slept apart, the wife occupying • bed in
the same room in which the deceased slept. On
the night in question the deceased went to bed in per-
fect health, his little son, a boy of eleven, sleeping with
him. Mrs. Walsh and her three daughters slept in the
other bed. In the adjoining room two servant boys and
the eldest snn, Daniel Walsh, slept. In the morning one
of the servant boys went into the adjoining room to get a
light for his pipe. He found Mrs. Walsh in bed with all
her children, including the boy Ned, who had gone to bed
with his father the night before, and on looking to the
bed where the deceased slept, he found him hanging out
of it with his head on the floor. He was quite dead. Upon
his neck were found ten marks, such as would have been
made by the pressure of the finger nails. There were
other marks of violence, and the opinion of the surgeon
who examined the body was, that death had resulted
from strangulation by the pressure of the fingers on the
windpipe. The principal witnesses against the prisoners
were the two children of the deceased. They deposed to
having heard the struggle when their father was being
strangled, and that he cried out in Irish while the deed
was being perpetrated, " 0 fie, Davie, don't." While
the struggle was going on the female prisoner: lay quietly
in her bed—her daughter swore she was awake at the time
—and when all was over she took the little boy out of the
bed where her dead husband lay and brought him into her
own bed. One witness, a woman who was in the service of
the deceased, deposed that, after the burning of his haggard
some short time previous Co the murder, she heard Joyce
say that /Silly Walsh was raising • great deal of enemies
for himself, and Mrs. Walsh say, " The devil may crack
their necks that don't take satisfaction out of his old bones

and not on my crops, and the devil may crack your neck.
Joyce, that does not de the same, and then you wolud have
the cows and horsesby yourself." " Are you giving me
liberty?" says be. " I am," she said, and then Joyce maid
no more. A verdict of guilty was returned against Joyce.
Mrs. Walsh was acquitted, but is vetained in custody, a
second indictment having been fot:nd against her for
aiding and abetting.
