Petrick Stack, 170 L, produced the tumbler glue, with a

Mr. Blender, a surgeon, in Welookylaos, Kennington, said

ATTIOKFT TO Binh • WHOLI FeIITILT.—At the
essgistrates' weekly petty session for the divides of Temple
Cloud, Somenet, a man named James Woolley wee brought
before the dais" jostiors—Ceptain &obeli, ft N., Mr. John
Hippis'ey, and Mr. W. 8. Watt—upon • charge of having
wiltully sad feloniowly set ere to the dwaathoese of
Walter Middle, at Lit on, in the some county. It appeared
that the prisoner had married a daughter of the prosecutor,
but that, owing to the idle and dissipated habits of
the man, they bad lived very unhappily, and bad
been more than once on the point of separating from
each other. A few days ago the accused resumed his
ill.umge of his oafortanere partner, and treated her
with so much brutality and violists that being appreheeelve
that he would take her life, shewest away from bin roof and
took abetter under that of her parent.. The prisoner took
great offmoe at this proceeding on the part of his wife, sad
was moreover very angry with bet lather and mother, fee, as
he mid, esooursigntg her against him. He Ina also hard
while drinking at • public.bouse in the village to threaten
that he would sot fire to their cottage sad barn the whole lot
of them. Unfortunately, this threat was osly regarded as
the idle vaunttoge of a drunken men, and no steps were taken
to prevent his tarrying it into alga, as he afterwards did.
Mr. Middle and his family, eight in number, were all et feet
is Glair beds ekes the primmer went to their dwellistg
sad deliberstaly and wickedly NM flu to it. It was
• very fortunete thing that there had been a heavy failed Mk
• short time previously. and that the thatch of the roof being
wet, it would not burn so readily its it would at other timed.
But foe this circumstance everybody in the house moat have
been burned to death, for be had taken care to Pet fire to the
dwelling at a pain when the domes would have cut off all
communication Weems the upper and lower storeys. Mr.
Middle was awakened bye wow of audeation, and having
gives the alarm, the neighbourbig villagers were speedily
attracted to the spot, and there being • good supply of water
from an adjacent ditch they succeeded le putting out the ere.
The =giants' commented on the heinous nature of the
crime, and the prisoner was committed to take hie trial for
the capital arca
SHOCKING OccratitEncE.—Yesterday afternoon a
shocking occurrence took pleoe at the Metropolitan.buildinge,
Old Bt. Pancras-road, or St. Pancrw-square es it is now
called, by which • child six yews of age named Charles
James Williams, Via so math mutilated that death aid pro-
bably molt. Between roar and flee o'clock the child Wil-
liams wee seen by one of the ludgees leaning over the cell of
the top staircase, attempiiog to slide down it, and was nu-
Honed not to do so. In about five minutes after the inmates
of the house No. 7 were 'ducted by hearing • tremendous
mph and the screams of children, and on melting out, the
mutilated body of the poor child above named was Mond lying
on the flagstones at the bottom of the askew weltering in
Hoot, and apparently lifeless. In his descent from a height
of at kid fifty feet the child had struck against the gas
breaches which project from the starters% and the lase ems
was broken by the violence of the whoa. The child was
eoeveyed without delay to University College Hospital, where
$ was found that the skull was highlfolly tree:wed, the
right thigh sad leg were shattered, sad other Wades el so
extensive • character were esstained, that the sli
matter is that death wee sot instantaneous. Therettit,
however, the eilthtest hope of Toomey.
