DI this case. a question was raised whether the costs of

had a lien ought to he allowed to the creditor. It appeared
that Mr. Dolman, a solicitor, had a lien for 501. oa a policy
of assurance on the life of a Mr. Samuel Webster, and was
In possession of the policy. In order to make the policy
evadable immediately, it was arranged between the parties
interested therein and Mr. Dolman that he should pre up
the policy in order that it might be sold, and that he should
be paid his 50/. out of the proceeds. The policy was au-
rantingly delivered up by Mr. Dolman, but Wasted of being
sold was retained until the death of the assured, whew •
snit was instituted and the amount of the money paid Into
court, whereupon it became necessary for Mr. Dolman to
obtain a stop order on the fund, which he sow diaey

THE MURDERS AT WALWORTH.

((:ostassedfrom yestertisr's Erma* )

Inspector Dana maid be had no further evidence, except
that he could prove frogs witnesses that the accused Wm.
Godfrey Youngman had represented he wea possessed of
peppery
Coroner thought h ntothe
eltent oftere l.
year.enough evidence upon
that point He then, in addressing the jury, said unless
they expressed a desire for an adjournment, he would after
their return from refreshment, feel it his duty to read over
the evidence of the several witnesses who had been ex-
amined, and offer such observations as be should deem
necessary, and then it would be for the jury to consider and
agree upon their verdict.
The jury retired for refreshment, and on their return
after an hour's absence
The Coroner proceeded to read over the evidence to each
witness in their presence, they signing their depositions ;
and also the several voluminous letters written by the ac.
cased to Mary Wells Streeter, which related principally
to his persuasion to her to come to town with reference
to the insurance of her life; some of them remonstrating
with her on her objections to her life being insured, and
in which he constantly referred to their approaching mar-
riage and the arrangements he would make for their resi-
dence when married, and urging her to keep all unknown
from from her friends, and bring whatever money she
could, as a day or two after their marriage he could get all
they wanted. The letters, which occupied more than an
hoar in reading, were mere reiterations in relation to the
lassaante of the deceased's life, and his assurance of their
serrige and the steps that he had taken to ensure the
oar say taking place at feet Martin's-in-tbe.Fields ; but in
every letter it was a lime qua non that the insurance of the
deceased's life should be effected. Having succeeded in
that object, he wrote a letter to the deceased to come up
on the Monday niorniug (before the murder) by a quarterto
I ten, at the same time urging her to destroy or barn all
his letters to her. The following is a specimen of the
letters

" 8, Henrietta-street, Covent-garden, July 13, 1840.

ever Effeetionate lover, W. G. YOUNGMAN.
" Kind respects to all friends remember do not forget
what I have said be careful and keep all my letters locked
up so your Mother and no one can see them and bring then
when you come here."
The Coroner having concluded his summing up,
The jury retired, and after an absence of a few minutes,
returned • verdict of " Wilful Murder against William God-
frey Youngman," in each case.
The Corner then issued the usual warrant for the pri-
soner's detention.

Yesterday morning, shortly after ten o'clock, a
well-dremed and good-looking young woman presented her-
self at the Lambeth police-station, adjoining the court, and,
addressing Police-constable Tanner, tiO L, inquired if she
could be admitted into the court to hear the further hear-
ing of William Godfrey (as she called him), who was in cus-
tody for the Walworth murders, and who she understood
was to be further examined on that clay. The covetable
told her that that was not the day to which the accused was
remanded, upon which she expressed some disappointment,
and said she had come all the way from Staffordshire (as
the officer understosl her to see him. She then asked
Tanner if be bad wen William Godfrey, and be replied
that though not enmezed in the came he had been present on
Tuesday last, and had seen that person in the court as well
as in the cell. The young woman here drew from
her bosom a handsomely-framed photograph portrait, and
asked the officer if it bore any likeness to the person
in custody, and Tanner after a few momenta examination,
replied that there could not be the slightest doubt about it,
for a more striking likeness of William Godfrey Youngman
he had never seen. The applicant on this announcement
became deadly pale, and appeared to be much overcome,
and taking back the portrait with a trembling hand she put
it into her pocket. She again expressed a wish to he pre-
sent at the examination of the accused, and was told by
Tanner that if she called again on the day to which Young-
man was remanded he would endeavour to get her into
court. She then left, but it appeared that before leaving
the neighbourhood she had communicated to other persons
that she was engaged in marriage to William Godfrey, sad
that 'seeing the reports in the newspapers about the mur-
ders in Yanorplace, and the name of William Godfrey
Youngman given as the suspected murderer, it struck her
that he was no other than her intended husband, and she had
come f,rn ataffordshire to satisfy herself of the fact.

DIMTREMING Surcrus.—On Thursday last, the
2nd inst., Mr. Lucius Bruton Bleckner, eldest son of John
Bleckner. the author of "The History of Nottingham," &c.,
committed suicide by hanging himself. The deceased wet
of a nervous temperament, and had been on the day
previous to witness the execution of Fenton, the Walker-
Ingham ntuiderer. This, it appears, weighed heavily on
his spirit*, and the nut morning he was found hanging
by the neck in his own room. He was immediately cut
down, but life was extinct. An inquest was held the same
day over the body, arida verdict of " Temporay insanity'
retumad. _ .

A powerful-looking man' named William Slater,
?al employed asattendant at the Lunatic Asylum, Colney
was brought up at the Bow-street Police-court,
yesterday,. on • warrant issued at the instance of the
Lunacy Commissioners, charging him, in conjunction
with another keeper not in custody, with the manslaughter
dim inmate named William Swift.
Mg. Weight the barrister, appeared for the prosecution ;
and Mr. Lever, ofLly.place, for the defence.
Mr. Sleigh, in opening the new, observed, that if the
evidence which he should have to lay before the magistrate
bore out the facts as they had been stated to him, it would
appear that the unfortunate deceased had died from inju-
neariceived in the asylum under circumstances of peculiar
aggravation and brutality. The prisoner was one of three
keepers in Ward No. 11, where the deceased was confined.
Oa the 12th May Swift was alive, and physically quite well.
Between 7 and 8 the surgeon, Mr. Tyermam was sent for,
and found him dead. Ou Monday, 14th May, there was a
post-mortem examination, when it was found that the
mails breast bone and eleven ribs were broken, and he bad
sustained other injuries. Samuel Clark, use of the inmates,
woad, describe the treatment the deceased had received at
the hands of the prisoner and another kaispw, and if his
slateeiess were true there could be no doubt that they bad
killed the man then and there.
Mr. Daniel Fletcher Tyermati, • member of the Royal
Whim of Surgeons, and attached as medical °Moor to the
asylum at Colney Hatch, was examined at great 1 exigldh

;ilialgrisa=roclucad by viiilena—
There is an inmate of the asylum, named Samuel Clark,
who is in attendance to-day to be examined as • witnem.
Hs is an inmate, of course, as a lunatic.
Kr. Sleigh—Though • lunatic, is he capable of giving a
rational account of any transaction which occurs before his
we
itness—'Yes.

Mr. Sleigh—May he be relied upon !
Wither—l cannot quite say that. He can give you an
socount, but not one that a jury could implicitly rely upon.
Mr. Henry—Would you believe any account he might
give of a transaction !
Witneas—Not implicitly.
Mr. Sleigh—Has he at times lucid intervals
Witness—l cannot say that I think he has at any time
completely lucid intervals. Nevertheless, I should think it
my duty to attend to and investigate any complaint be
might make. I think he is capaple of giving an account,
but don't think the jury could rely on his statement, if
unsupported.
Mr. Sleigh—l shall ask your worship to allow him to be
examined. If you refer to "The Queen v. Hill," you will
see that it is for the magistrate to decide on the compe-
tency of the witness, judging by the evidence of the medical
man, taken in conjunction with the appearance and manner
of the witness himself. _ . .

Mr. Henry—He can be placed in the witness-buz, and
Mr. Lewis can ask him any questions to test his competency
before he is sworn. That was the course taken, I believe,
in "The Queen v. Hill."
Mr. Tperman was then cross-ezamined by Mr. Lewis,
who asked whether, if a charge were preferred by the man
Clark spinet one of his own family he would place reliance
on it? _ _

iiitnees—l would not believe it.
Yr. Lewis—Do you think him competent to make a
wlll? . .

Mr. Igeigh objected to this question m not being perti•
rent to the MILO. . . . .
•

Mr. Henry—A person might be able to give an account of
a transaction taking place before his eyes, and yet not be
possessed of disposing powers. The very fact of his being
in an asylum would be in answer to a will.
Mr. Lewis—Do you believe he properly knows the nature
of an oath
Witness— I think he could perfectly comprehend the
nature of an oath.
Mr. Lewis—Do you believe that he knows right from
wrong as to an oath!
Witness—l think he has considerable knowledge of right
and wrong ; but I don't know that he would act upon that
knowledge. I have his previous history and character,
which guide me in giving the answer.
Mr. Henry—You had better let us have it then.
Witness—He was admitted in May, 1858, being then
under his second attack, the first having bees I_2 years
before, when he was confined at Fort Pitt. He bad for.
rawly been a soldier. He was described as very dangerous
and homicidal, and as having attacked • woman without
any object or provocation. He was ordinarily melancholic,
and sometimes disposed to violence. I have a record to
that effect in 1858, and another in 1859, and the record for
1880 will be about the same. Siam the 12th May hi bee
been most in his usual condition. He is usually dispeoed to
violent personal attacks. I believe he is disposed to
disease of the lungs, which is an unfavourable
condition. Such moo are often excitable. I heard
that on the Bth the docer.sed had • very severe
struggle with another keeper, of the name of Cann,
which nearly ended in the death of the keeper. I saw the
deceased on Friday. He was then in • maniacal state. He
had been in the C ward, and on Thursday I ordered his re.
moral from the C want to the ward No. 11. There are two
tables and several forms in the ward. Ido not think it

poesible that he could have received the injuries I have
described by falling on the tables in a fit, or by any fall un-
less from a great height. It is pasible that if he had •
heavy fall on the Bth, hie ribs might have been partially
fractured then, and a secant fall on the 12th might hare
completed the fracture, or a partial fracture might he ex-
tended by the pressure if he were taken up and carried.
A person with broken ribs requires to be very gently
handled. I saw no such marks as I should expect to see
from kicking or stamping on the chest. The attendants
generally wear thick hoots. I cannot say bow the bones
could be fractured without any external mark. I would not
say that • men might not live three days with fractured
ribs and sternum, but the rupture of the liverappeared tome
to have been produced by the fracture, yet I find it diffi-
cult to dissociate the rupture from the bruise on the abdo-
men, which was about three days old, and was the result of
the struggle on Wednesday.
Mr. Hinry—Might all the injury have taken place on
Wednesday?
Mr. Tyerman— it is very difficult to say. Ido not think
that my experience of ruptured livers is sufficient to justify
me in answering that authoritatively.
Mr. Lewis—Was he not placed in No. 11 ward lo be
under the prisoner on account of his character for kindness ?
Witness—No. It was because there were three keepers
in that ward. I inquired of the other patients, and none of
them knew of Swift having bad a fit.
Re-examined by Mr. Sleigh—Since the death of Swift the
prisoner has been discharged from his situation in conse-
quence of a complaint by one of the patients that he had
acted with violence and cruelty.
The inmate Samuel Clark was then celled. Before being
sworn be stated, in answer to Mr. Henry, that he was
about 40 years of age, and had formerly served in the 11th
Regiment of Foot. Had been 27 months in the asylum.
Had been ailing all the time. Was discharged from the
army on account of bad health. In reply to Mr. Lewis he
admitted that he and the other inmates sometimes quar-
relled, and he got • little excited. Never made a complaint
against anyone since entering the asylum. Had come here
to speak the troth. Taking an oath was " a serious job."
If a man "spoke wrong" he was liable to imprisonment,
and aho to punishment hereafter. Had told another in-
mate that if ho was called upon he should speak the truth.
Mr. Henry rid the man might be sworn ; he had
answered the questions very properly.
Clark was then sworn. He deposed—Swift was a patient
in No. 11 ward. I was in that ward myself. On the 12th
of May I saw Swift brought in from the airing court. He
was taken in by Mr. Slater and Mr. Vivian. They took
bold of him by the arms. Vivian had hold of his collar.
He said, "Don't take hold of me, I will go any where with
you." Vivian then let go of his collar, and took his arm.
They took him into the ward and tripped him up. They
threw him on the floor and ill-used him. Vivian kicked
hint, and Slater punched him. They then got him up, and
took him to the door of the padded room, where they un-
dressed him, and pushed him in. He fell on
the floor, and they kicked and punched him
as before. Ho was calling oat so that they
must have heard him all over the airing court. Ho
said, "Kill me at ones, don't kick me like that." Slater
had been out with some of the patients, and when he came
in Vivian said to him, " I have been waiting for you, I can-
not keep Swift out of the ward." Slater said, "Take him
in at once ;" and they took him in there and then. I have
said before that the affair lasted twenty minutes, but I now
remember it was ten minutes to six when Slater came out
of the padded room, so it must have been neer an hour.
Slater got us to bed earlier than usual that night, so that I
had not time to get • pipe after I had done my work as
usual.
In cross-examination lie stated that he heard of the
coroner's inquest, but did not know when it took place.
Did not mention the matter till he was interrogated. Did
not see the enmmisaioners till about • week ago.
Mr. Henry observed that the witness had not volunteered
his evidence. The inquiry had been instituted in conse-
quence of a letter received by the commissioners. (The
letter was banded to Mr. Lewis.)
The witness, in further cross-examination, mentioned
several other inmates who were present at the occurrence,
and also atated that Swift had been similarly ill-treated on
the Friday.
It was intimated that the other inmates would be called,
and that evidence would be given of the oxurrence on
Friday.
The prisoner was then remanded.
