ROYAL iS.

There is no set of men in His Majesty's service
more vial uable than this truly respeetunle and logfily
meritorious corps; nor any to which the country
stands more indebted for loyalty and faithful ser-
viers. At sea they have, times out of number, met
the enemies of their country, fought mid overcome
them. %I'lleuever they have hero employed on
shore, either be themselves, or incorporated with
the army, del have tiveu ample test* of their
di.cipliue and bravery. At the time when muti-
nies were on board the fleet, and in different corps
on dingo, this nulde oody 'of men stepped forward,
and, with a firm, mistily. end mrlannted spii tt. de-
cliVerf their detestation of all such proceedings, mid
reenttitely bent to maintain their loyalty and duty.
it ,a therefore with satisfiiction we hear, that
ainong other arrangements for the benefit of this
deserving corps, it is in contemplation to give it an
invalid eatablishineut. The transition of the Royal
Marines, from clime to clime, in peace auc in war,
naturally enfeebles them. No corps can then more
require au asylum for their disabled and worn out.
The Royal.Navv, and every other service under
Government (the Royal Marines eiteeptinli. have
their invalid establishment. But when it cast he

but at the same time be usefully employed to its
advantage, how mud) more desirable does this

George (inrer was well :it:pietistid with the Pri-
sren.; fie had coned itima the Prisoner a short tine•
!novelties .to the death of the deceased', ahem the '
enavenratian turned upon a young lady who had ,
pried pregioa.d., and was obliged, in consequence,
to leave Lverpsiol, sad go to the Isle of Man to
iilie-in. ',F:I; VI i Amer made very light of sus lo bu-
siness, stud said, if she hail come to him, he would
have ki.oied her, and caused her soon to get rid of
her :)111.11C0; by Willeil he (the witness) Understood,
he would cease her to miscarry. A short time pre-
vireos to the death oft he deceased, US he was return-
X ig home late one night, he passed the Priscouer's
house, when ell! Lauds of the liariour being upon,
he saw the Prisoner and the deceased sitting close
tsgether, with his right arm over her neck, his
bawl upon her bosons, and, he believed, in the act
..., of kissing her. The latter end of last February he
was at the P. boner's hot's«, when lie saw the de-
ceased, and he lied no oloaLit,-from her uppeurance,
boat she is +0 1114'41131a ; she appeared then in good
health and spivits.
Peter Chaloy deposed, that he was in company
with the Poisoner a slinit time pre:m.l6.m the death
of the deceased, when it conversation respecting
young unmarried women hoeing ss:th child took
skidoo. The Prisnaer said, he knew how to prevein
it ; lie had an instruineut, and by introducing it
late the mane, and letting in the on:, it mould
prevent the child emoting forward ; and the Pri-
. boner %hewed loins that iustrutnent.
An instrument found in the Prisoner's house was
aliened the witness, which he recognised to be the
same the Primmer had shown him. It consisted of
. a silver tube, with os slide, at the end of which was
u dart, or three points. The witness was extremely
aosonishedat Seeing such an 'imminent, and. oh-
served, he thought it would he a great sin tR art: iri
the way the Pi isoner had descrilml. The Prisoner,
its reply, said, he thought it a great sin to take away
life, hut none on preventing it.
Thous:us Richardson, a surgical-instrument-ma-•
ker, of Liverpool, &posed, thit about is fortnight '
before the .teeth of the deeensed, the Prisoner
brought the instrument to him to be repaired. He
never having seen such an instrument, asked him
the use of it ? The Prisoner told him it was to
. loon; his children's ears. He was satisfied it was
pot for that purolnow, but undertook to repair it,
. anirthe I'nsoner fetched it sway the flollowing duty.

were those the deceased died in. They were in it
gate not to be described. In the Prisoner's ward-
robe, in his bed-room, he found three bottles, mark-
ed poison-water, Jacolis-water, and tavigne oil;
also a case of surgeon's instruments.
Thomas Hay, a surgeon, deposed that lie went
. with several luedical gentlemen to the Prisoner's
.touse, to manioc the body of the deceased ; he
•loniul no external marksof violence. On opening
the body, he found u given fluid on the stomach,
1140 on the mangle umd inside of the intestines,
which waa not rsatural,nr what is generally found in
dead bodies; he turned up the end of the stomach,
and funiel it much iutlmostal. The uterus was so
large, sloe he bad not the least doubt but that a
Ayes had lately beets excluded from it, and that it
..;us at, or near it. CI!: growth ; on examining the
4/tomaeh, he found heirs in it. mid it was so ex-
tremely volt, that the slightest touch with his finger
made more holes; he thought that some drug, or
something improper, hail been conveyed into it, to
callse it to be in that state, and sufficient to foe the
cause of death. He underwent a very long and
leareed crow-examination, the general tendeney of
whirl, wrist to eadelovour to prove that the stomach
ought have been made in that bad state after death;
in corroboration of which, the writings of John
Hunter, and other celetrated writers upon de-
stroyed stomachs, were quoted ; the w nurse mknow-
ledgearl he never saw a niece healthy body, except
the stonier h. •

The Prisoner read a very long defence. in which
he strongly protested Isis innorense, awl attributed
the lnosei•ution to the revenge and malice of two
women iu Liverpiii.l.
Several wotmn were called on behalf of. the Pri-
soner, who were intimately acquainted with the
deceased, to prove that she Wan of a sickly
,habit of
hotly, and that her increased size wasowing to dropsy ;
that it was it family complaint. her mother having
died of it. One of theta lived sellout with the
Prisoner.

- - -
On her cross-examination, said, that on it being
proposed to send for a Doctor to the deceased, the
Prisoner smiled, and slid, medicines would not
do her any good." The deceased frequently
breakfasted in the Prisoner's bed-room with him,
and the deceased used to take the tea-thing* from
her at the door; she thpught the Prisoner often
took improper liberties with the deceased ; so much
so, that one chic she asked her if die was not going
to marry the Prisoner ?
Doctor enson suid that he had seen the stoinat
and uterus some days after the Feely was opened,
in the possession of Mr. Hay, and gairearery, learn-
