said that o

Tuesday night last be received information that Ana Cox was
in a dying state in the infirmary of Saint Olave's workhouse.
He attended there, and saw her, when she told him that the
prisoner had caused- the injury, by striking her on the head
with agiasstumbler. Witness then went and took the prisoner
into custody. He had since attended a coronet's inquest, and
the jury had returned a verdict of manslaughter against Mary
Ann Davis. The latter acknowledged striking deceased with
a glass. Mr. James Innes Mackintosh, M.D., said he was the
medical officer of s'. Olave's union, and on Tuesday, the 9 h
inst, he went to No. 20, Unicorn square, and saw the deceased
lying in heti, unable to move. lit saw that she had a poul-
tice on her head, which ho removed, and found a deep wound
on the upper part of the right side of her head, and there
appeared symptoms of compression of the brain, which might
have been caused by a broken tumbler. He had her removed
to the infirmary of St. Olave's workhouse, where he attended
her. On the following day he called in another medical
officer, when they performed the operation of trepanning.
They the❑ found two pieces of the under skull lying, on
the brain, adhering to it. She died at eight o'clock
on the following morning, and he had no hesitation in saying
that she died in consequence of that wound. Sergeant
Gardener, was re-called, and he stated that at the station
house the prisoner told him that the deceased broke into her
bed-room, and, without the least provocation, attacked her.
She admitted striking her afterwards on the head with a
tumbler, and she was very sorry for it. He informed his
worship that a female saw the injury inflicted, and she
attended before the coroner, but she was so ill to-day that lie
was unable to move her from her bed. Inspector Mackintosh
told the magistrate that he would endeavour to have her at the
01(1 Bailey at the trial. Ho had no further evidence to bring
forward against the prisoner. Mr. Burcham accordingly
committed the prisoner to Newgate for trial.

FATAL OCCURRENCE WITH FIREARMS,

On Saturday forenoon, Mr. Brent, deputy coroner, held
an investigation at the Coach and Horses, Hatton-wall,
Holborn, London, touching the death of William Henry
George, a jeweller, aged 25, who was found shot in his
workshop under very distressing circumstances. It
appeared from the evidence of deceased's mother, the
wife of a copper-plate printer, residing at 24 Hatton
wall, that the deceased had lived at home for the last
two years, carrying on his business in an upper room,
where he generally had a quantity of valuable jewellery
in the shape of diamond rings, &c. On Wednesday,
just before his death, she saw him, when he appeared in
his usual health and spirits, and after reading the news•
paper, and commenting upon the fineness of the weather,
he proceeded up stairs to the workshop.
_lmmediately
afterwards she hear - :1 by a

noise in the sliop, tollowec _
heavy fall, and she thought at first that it might be an
exnlosion of MIS. as her son invariably worked by gip;

p stairs, when, upon entering the
perceived her son lying insensible near the

She at first thought he had fainted, but iv:on
going up co him she found that there was blood about
his person and a pistol lying close to him. Upon this,
she immediately rushed down stairs, gave the alarm,
and sent for the doctor, but her Fon was dead. The
witness said she could not account for the tragical
occurrence, her son had not been desponding lately,
and she considered that it must have been purely
accidental. She was not aware there were any fire-
arms in the house. A verdict of accidental death was
returned.

" THE NEW INK TAND.—We have used one of these
admirable inkstands, and find that it surpasses all that we
have seen; in a word, it keeps the ink from the air, and
thereby preserves it pure and free, The pen is preserved as
well as the ink. It may be used in the midst of your papers
without fear of blotting, and is so simple in its arrangement
that it c innot get out of order. It is a boon to all writers,
and those who wish to keep their table covers and carpets
free from ink-blots should never suffer any other to enter
their doors."—Hampshire Telegraph and Sussex Chronicle

IMPROVED WRITING INK. —What a delicious treat it is
to be blest with free, flowing writing ink. We have often
b en disposed to quarrel s‘ith our very finger ends when
compelled to use some of those abominable quasi-fluids
csll-d ink. Mr. E T. Hall, of S nab John street, has pro-
duced an ink, which we have tried, and we do not hesitate
to pronounce it one of the best kind we ever used. It flows
freely from the pen, and is amongst other things distinguised
by its affinity and intensity of colour. Northern Daily

PRUDENCE.—fIow much regret, pain, and evil may be
avoided by timely forethought ! If it be desirable to
economise time and money, is it not still of greater impor-
tance to look to your health ? During this inclement
season we strongly advise the use of the Aromatic Spice
Plasters on the chest. Coughs, colds, asthm ts, shortness
of breath, pain or tightness of the chest, affections of the
lungs, &c., are effectually relieved, and in many cases
entirely prevented, by the timely application of these
invaluable plasters to the chest, which are far superior to the
common warm plasters, and in many cases entirely supersede
the use of internal remedies. No person during the winter
ought to be without one ; persons about to travel by rail-
road, &c., in particultr. 6d, Is, and Is 6d each. To be had

may be had the Horehound and Squills, so celebrated for
coughs, &c., in bottles, is 13d, 2s 9d, and 4s ad. Mr.
Jones can show any party interested a number of testimo_
nials of the gnat benefi.t, derived from the Aromatic Spice
Plasters and the Horehound and Squills, in affections of the
chest. -AA/.
