There was a large number of witnesses examined for the
prosecution, and from the evidence given it appeared that
the prisoner had lodged with a married sister of the de-
osseed, a Mrs. Wateoe, who resided la the fiat beneath. On
the 13th September there was a number of persons at to in
the house of Mrs. Watson, who aver that at four o'clock
they bad seen the deceased quite well, she having just re-
turned from church, and ohs was also seen as late as ten
minutes to fire o'clock that dimmest, apparently in excel-
lent health. The prisoner was at tea is Mrs. Watson'. ;
and after tea he went out for the purpose, it was believed, of
going up stein to the home of Aguas Montgomery. He
woe seen in her room at five o'clock by a little girl, a
daughter of Me,. Watson, and sloe by another little Firl
who was sent out fora bottle of beer, who found him sitting
there on her return. Shortly after that time, he was
observed by a man to come out of Agnes Mont-
gomery's and lock the door, and appeared to listen at it
• short time before he went dawn The man followed
him down maim the priscasr_going into a back-green. The
people who had bem at Mrs. Watson's at Isa came out about
that time, and noticed that he me very pale; and they 's-
mutted upon the circumstmos to mob other. Shortly slur
this • moaning was heard upstairs; and on Mn,. Watson
and a neighbour going up, It was bend Out it proceeded
from the room of Agnes Montgomery. Tbcy found the door
locked; but they obtained a key whit* fitted the lock from

on the floor in an insensible condition and foaming at the
mouth. She soon after expired, and was buried in the ordi-
nary coarse. But, in consequenos of statements weeder

senor paid more than ordinary attention after the death of
Apes Mont , frequently taking her out with himin

considered the charge tally pro% ed, and should Age him and
hie companions 6s. each fur being drunk.
Police-constable Monk, C 161, was charged with perjury in
giving evidence against Isabella Howard and Charlotte Stone,
two girl. of the town.
The accrued took the two girls into custody about two
o'clock this morning with the eminence of Polio-constable
C 63, and at the station-house charged them with having
annoyed gentlemen in Piccadilly. The police-sergeant, C 5,
shortly afterwards on going his roods, finding the accused
drunk on his beat, caused him to be detained in the station-
howe. The accused was allowed to appear at this court to
amcakcullood, if possible, his charge against the two girls. The
then swore that he had seen the girls annoy gentle-
men in Piccadilly, that a complaint had been made to him,
and that be then called Police-constable C 63 to assist him
in conveying the girls to the station-house.
Police-constable C 63, when put into the witness-box, mid
be wee waiting for another constable in Pfocadilly. He saw
the two girls and was certain that they did not accost any
gentlemen—indeed there was none at that time in Piccadilly
to speak to. H. heard the accused speak to the girls, and
make • very indecent remark to them. Ina minute or two
afterwards the accused called him to assist in taking the
girls to the stalks-house.
The accused said he could bring the gentlemen who had
made a complaint to him of having been annoyed by these

Mr. B.adon said he wee satisfied that the seamed had

MARYLEBONE.
Yesterday, a Frenchman, aged 23,named Louis breathers,
wee brought before the sitting nisgista, Mr. Bingham,
17:with hiving attempted to terminate his existence by
g himself with a knife.
Police-constable Duke, 266 D, deposed that at ten on the
calvaz night he wee called Into the beer-belie of Mil
, 86, Esii-nrest, Lismarpom, his informant telling
him that a foreign gentleman there had attempted ruicide.
On entering the premien he saw the prisoner in the arms of
two persons; be mewed exceedingly weak and faint, and on
wittier opening his shirt he observed blood flowing prettied,
from wounds In his side. He (wining) told hint that be mat
consider Mama! In custody, and, after carrying him to the
, where his wounds were dreamed, he was removed
to ohs-street Station-boom. At the diepeneery he tiled to
elm& himself with his neckerchief, and at the station he
made mother attempt to destroy himself by thursting his
knuckles down his mock and granting hie throat with all his
might. Winne. produced the implement of intended de-
streams alluded to; it was a dinner knife, the blade thereof
being 'my sharp.
A certamte wee produced describing two wound, which
had been inflicted under the left breast. They were not of •
igneous nature.

—lt (artier that two young men, named Vickery
sad Haney, were preasat whom the prieoner entered the
heershop, and that they am hiss inflict the wounds after be
had her supplied with • alto, of bread end a knife. H. had
alleged to one of the reinsert.' that he was the brother of •
mu who ten yean ago was guillotined for attempting the
Meal Louie Philipps, the late King of the French, and that
he could not face his country agidn, for if he were to do so he
sight be made to suffer himself.
The prisoner, in reply to the charge, made a determent,
the purport of which was that he had met with many mis-
fortunes , he bad lately Vet a lawsuit, and that and other
matters had preyed upon his mind.
Mr. Bingham remanded him till Wednesday next.

TIIAMBB.

AA. se die, a man about 40 yew, dap, and deveribed as
• general dealer in dryealtery goods, wasbrought before Mr.
Selfe charged with a fraud of an extraordinary nature.
Mr. Poland barrister instruted by the firm of Amory,
Travers, and Smith, solicitors, Tbrogroortorestrest, stated
the case for the prosecutor, who was Mr. George Borwlck,
dlter, Loodca-wall, the neennfactuser of two articles'!
called respeollrely " Barwick's baking powder" and " Doe-
wick's egg powder." The charge .pint the prisoner was
that he had been disposing of spurious powders under the
names of . Barwick 's bathe powder" and " Borwick's
egg powder_ ," by means of forged labels resembling those
leaned by Mr. Barwick. The prisoner had defrauded, among
others, Mr. Henry Emblem, corn and flour dealer, of No.
7, Bedford-place, Commercial-road East, by selling to him a
pantile( the spurious powdery, wrapped up in forged printed
Ybele, the exact counterpart of those used by Mr. Barwick, !
except Ms peas and adders.. The discovery of the prisoner'.
imposition was made by accident. Some time in November
last the prisoner waited on MOMS. Stevens end Till, printers,
of Langley-place Commercial-read, and ordered a large
number of labels 'to be printed, and pee to Mr. Till as a
pattern two of Mr. Borwick.s labels, one relating to the
baking powderand the other to the ege powder, and requested
him to imitate thew ae closely as possible. The prisoner pm
the name of Barwick and said he was ready woney George,
and that the labels would be paid for directly they
pee printed, sad left 6s. as deposit. A portion of the label.
was delivered to the prisoner himself, and the remainder
were tabu by the printer's boy to No. 10, Cseherlasetreet,
Lissehawa, the aMme. gime by the prisoner. The boy
not being able to dimover such a person as Barwick ia
Calherine-street, sought out the inventor of the baking pow-
der and the egg powder, and delivered the labels at the
manufactory of Mr. George 13orwick, in London-wall. The
prosecutor we. of course "mounded when he found how
closely his own labels had been imitated. Inquiries were
made, and he ascertained that by means of the labels the pri-
soner had dispusid of his spurious and worthkes powders
to spy corn and flour dealer., end represented
them to have torus from the prosecutor's manufactory.
The prisoner had formerly been in the employ of Mr. Stile.,
&temptable manufacturer of groats in Thames-street. He
, was apprehended by Inspector Griffin, of the K division,
, who band him engaged in the manufacture of spurious
, baking powder, and dimovened in the same house large
, quantriee of labels resembling those nod by Mr. Barwick,
and forged labels of other manufacturers of articles sold by
corn and dour dealers. The learned counsel having stated
these Wig, culled the magistrate's attsatio• to the cam of '
" the Queen e. Gray and Goalie," tried before Lord Camp-
ball and &jry on the 17th of May, 1867. The prisoners
were charged with Imitating the labels and mark. of Memo.
Samuel Alhopp and Sons,the brewers, and selling
Mt purporting to have been rewed by Mews. Alleopp and
Co. but which was actually brewed by the accused
whoa. The prisoners were found guilty, and sentenced to
• long term of imprisonment and hard labour. Now this
case ran on all fours with the case of " the Queen v. Guy
and Malin,' and there was no doubt, if he established the
use he had set up by evidence, the prisoner must be com-
mitted fur trial. There was another case tried before Mr.
Justice Erie, " the Queen against Duncan," where • man'.
labels were imitated and a apuriou• article disposed of, and in
that case the accused was found guilt]
Some evidence having been produced,
Mr. Sells said he should commit the prisoner for trial, and
be thought the case one of so much importance that he
should send it to the Central Criminal Court, where the as-
"(stance of one of the learned judges would be obtained. Ile
ce.). thought this case ly eimilar, except In one point, to
the forgery of A 's . pale ale and ds. He directed
the clerk to hike the Mona, and when they were com-
pleted he would accept good bail.
The prisoner was than committed to gaol
