Fuller Bacon was brought up from licirsemonger-lane Gaol,

oon, to be finally examined on the charge of wilful murder;
but, civing to the illness of hie wife, he, as will be seen, was
again remanded. As soon as he was removed from the
police-van to the strong-room, Baron at once ordered a
substantial lunch of Loam and egg., with coitus and bread
and butter, and this he despatched with the utmost avidity.
Cook, the gaoler, informed him that his wife WAY ill from a
cold, and could not, in consequence, be brought up that day,
and also read to him the certilic ate, which had just been re-
reived, of her then stale; but Bacon did not evince the
alightest concern, and teemed intent only on hie luncheon,
whil, wan at the time in course of pet:variation. W ben the
night charges were di-pneed of, the prisoner was brought
into court and placed at the bar, when the following certifi-
cate respecting the state of his wife's Lc.ilth was read by the
chid clerk :
Goniernonscr-lane Gaol, March 11, 1&57.
" I hereby certify that Martha Bacon ia confined to her
last with a cold, which will prevent her appearing at the
police-court this day.
W. Emma, Smgcon to the Gaol."
Mr. Elliott remarked that tho certificate fell somewhat
short of the statement of Mr. Harris on the day before, but
as Mrs. Bacon was unable to appear he had only to remand
the poisoner for tier week.
The prironer was then removed from the bar, and the
COW.: .40.01 becalm clear of the crowd who bad attended to
hear the proceedings.
