Lim tehrst there would be murder done. The primer
then got up, and she saw him coming towards her wink •
rotor in his band, and she had hardly time to wrap the
shawl round her throat before the prisoner had hold of ben

be bad eared bar of being Intimate with pettnmet whom
she bad sew emu. They lived very unitaptily to mu-
queue of the ydelese's suspicion that she wan intimate with
other ram. U meanly during the six months prior to Sep-
temberthet the gamer entertained this suspicion. It wee n-
th* added= on his pert. Her husband was 27 years old,
end the led beard that his mother was waned in a lunatic
asylum sad died there.
Upon re-examination by Mr. Ribton, the proeseutrix geld,
that the rearm she left her husband's hones cm the bat occa-
sion was that he accused her of being unfaithful to him, end
be had worst time threatened to murder her. He had
made thine threats before he accused ha at bekag unfaithful.
He did so when he wee In liquor. Then was nothing in his
conduct during the three yeses they had been merited to in-
duce her to believe that he was mad. He red to work regu-
larly when he could get it, but he sometimes and to spend
nearly all his wages and get drunk, and this canoed them to
quarrel.
George Geddes, a sergeant of police at Dover deposed
that about tenminutes to one o'clock in the morning of the
28th of September the proeecutrlx rushed into the police-
stance with nothing but his night Moths' an, and nearly
covered with blood. He elm observed • large wound on her
meek, sad in ooessequosce what she said be west to the
residers of the prisoner and found Min there straggling
with another connable named &Wks who was endeavouring
to take a mar from him. He at lest easiosaded in doing so,
and handed It to witness. It was open and bloody. lie
observed at the same time that the primer had a wound in
his threat, end be wee ealsequatly conveyed to the heaped.
George Bowies, the cesetabile seined to by the last wa-
ngle. deposed that an the sight In peados he heard • cry of
" Molder " frees a weaude voles, tad, ea lensed* to the
house of the primmer, he saw him tending atthe window,
sad he called eat to him, " Go it ag 6rahm James, for I
am dying." He saw at this time that there was a wound in
his throat, and he 'eked him what me the matter, and he
said, in reply, " I ham been end dens what they wonted to
do for its—cut.oar throats" At the time the protean had a
moor in Ida hand, and whams earl him to pre it to Ides,
but he objected to do so, end wham took it from lam.
While the prisoner was at the hospital within bad the
charge of him, and he wend times Inquired it Ma If We
was ins dead ; and when he told him the was not, be said
he wee sure the would die, es be bad given bar a good
. cutting. The prisoner appeared as be gnu, sober when he
first saw him on the night the came

night the aide happened.
Mr. John Walter, a surgeon at Dover, deposed that he
was sent for on the night ui question and found the promen-
trix lying on the floor of the pone-station in •my hist
and exhausted state from loam of blood, and be observed a
wound on the left side of her throat. There were also ward
cuts on the linen of each hand, and there was • deep mu
between the thumb and finger of the left band. The vowed
in the throat wee a vary dangerous one. A misll breach of
the jugular vain woe divided, and if the injury had extended
• small distance further it most have been mortal.
Mr. Clark made an able eddied@ to the jury ea babas of the
prinner, end he said that of coarse it was itepomible for him
to deny that the prisoner's was the head that maimed the in-
jury upon the unfortunate prosecutrix, but the defence be
was instructed to offer war, that by raison of the condition of
hie mind he wee not criminally responsible for the set he had
committed. He called the attention of the jury to the UM,
that the prisoner appeared I. have been quite sober on the
night, the occurrence happened, and that there did not appear
to have been any quarrel- between the prisoner andocchisszot
and urged that the act of violence had been solely
by • audden feeling of frensy which tie prisoner was =able
to control.
Several whammed were examined enteshelf of the
whose evidence went to show thata short num beim the
occurrence took place the primula had exhibited a geed deal
of eccentricity in Ins conduct, and it was also proved that
when the father of the prisoner was about his age he wee
under • similar delusion with regard to the fidelity of the
prieoser's mother to that exhibited by the prisoner, and
that his mother died in • twine sedum, after having been
confined there for eighteen months.
Mr. Justice Willis, in summing up the may explained to
the jury the law with regard to the defence of insanity, and
observed upon the Importance, for the Me of the safety
of society, that a defence of that description should not pre-
vail, except upon strong evidence ; and be said that unless it
wee clearly made out to their satinfaction, that at the time
the offence was committed, the prisoner was incapable of
distingulahingbetween right and wrong, or of being aware Um
what he wasdoinene an act contrary to the laws of God and
man, they would not be justified in acquitting him upon the
ground of Manny.
The jury, after • short densest/ea, found the prisoner
Guilty of wounding the presentrts with intent to do her
grievous bodily harm, and he was sentenced to bkept la
pead servitude for the term of his Mural life.

Zdsoord Hari war arraigned for the wilful murder of his
wife, at Stourbridge, on the 23rd August last.
Mr. Powell prosocutel ; the prisoner waa undefended.
The facts of the awe are mina. singular, and it resolved
itself at last into a charge of ma
end The prisoner
and his wife had not lived happily together, and the former
bore a very indifferent character. The wife had been suffer-
ing from choleraic diarrhoea, and en Saturday, the 22nd
August, woe ill from that disorder. Mrs. Mills, a neighbour,
waited upon her on that evening and applied hot fomentetions
to her bowels, which relieved the pain, and nut morning she
was much better. The prisoner had been out drinking all
Saturday night, and returned home on Sunday morning at
about eleven o'clock muck the worse for liquor. He
Immediately went up-stairs to his wife's room, whale
she was lying in bed, end instead of condoling
with her, abused her, and told her it wsa her own
fault that she was ill. The deceued put out her
hand to her husband to shake, and he took it and lay down
on the bed by her side, with hie clothes on. In this position
Mrs. Mills, the neighbour, left her. On her return to the
room, shortly afterwards, she found him asleep, still lying
on the hed, with his hand over his wife's nose end mouth.
The wife wee deed and black in the face, having evidently
died from suffocation. The women ran down stein and
called in another neighbour, Me,. Harris, who went up and
found him in the lame position, with his hand over his wife's
fete. The two women tried, without sucosse, to awaken
Lim, but he removed hie hand. They then want in quest of
the relieving officer, and in about en hour returned again
and found him in the same position by the side of his dela
wife. Evidence war given by a surgeon to the effect that
the woman died from sapluzia.
The pr earner said he was quite unootte ions of having
injured hie wife.
He was found guilty of manslaughter, and sentenced to 15
months imprisonment.
