MURDER.

Joseph Meadows, aged iiir wilitesmith, was charged
with the wilful murder of Mary Ann Mason, at Dudley,
on the 12th of May, 1855.
Mr. Huddleston and Mr. Cresswell appeared for the
prosecution : Mr. Kettle defended the prisoner.
Mr. Huddleston having opened the case to the jury,
the following witnesses were examined :
William Ingram said—l am a miner near Dudley.
On the 12th of May last I was at the Sailor's Return
public-house with William Robinson, between 8 and 9
in morning. The prisoner was there. The servant was
mopping the house. I heard the report of a carbine, at
a distance of 6 or 7 feet. The girl fell to the ground.
I ran to the prisoner, and said, "You have murdered
the girl. What aid you do it for ?" The girl was stand.
ing about the middle of the kitchen.

Cross-examined—l had not seen a carbine previous to
the report.

Mai.), Hunt said—My husband keeps the Sailor's
Return, at Kate's Hill, near Dudley. I saw the pri-
soner on the evening of Friday, the 11th of May. He
passed as the brother of the servant, Mary Ann Mason.
She did not speak to him. I saw him the next morning.
He bad some ale. He remained in the kitchen. I had
assisted the deceased to clean the kitchen. I left the
room, and when I came back to the door I saw the pri-
soner with the carbine. The flash came in my face.
The girl fell towards me. She breathed for about 15
minutes, and died. The shots struck her under the left
ear. My husband came in and collared the prisoner.
The only word I remember the prisoner saying was,
"Now I'm satisfied."
Gross-examined—This is the first time I have been
examined. I had been in and out of the kitchen that
morning. I had not seen a carbine before it was fired,
On the Friday night he was talking about matters which`
I thought he did not understand. He was talking about
the war, the shells, and the guns.
William Robinson said—l was at the Sailor's Return
on the morning in question, and saw the prisoner there.
I heard the report of a gun, and saw the girl fall. On
turning round I found the carbine on the ground. The
prisoner picked it up, and I took it from him. He then
said, "She should have given me an answer."
Cross-examined—The deceased was mopping the floor
when the gun was fired.

Jukes; said—l am a constable. I was sent for, and
took the prisoner into custody. I charged him with
shooting the deceased with the carbine. He said, "I've
had my revenge ; I have heard them say revenge is
sweet. I left home for that purpose. I've done it, and
now I am satisfied." I found a powder-flask in his
pocket, with a little powder and some caps. On the way
to prison he said, " It's not my sister ; it's a young
woman I've followed for about ten months. I was de-
termined if I could not have her nobody else should."
He also said, " I pulled the carbine from behind my
back, and fired it off in an instant. I threw it down to
pick the girl up, but was prevented."
Cross-examined—l have refreshed my memory by
looking at a copy of the depositions. A copy of my de-
position was brought to me about a week ago by a young
man named Robinson. I left the copy at home.
William Hunt said—l keep the Sailor's Return. The
prisoner came to my house about 10 minutes before 7
o'clock. I served him with some ale. I heard the re-
port and ran into the kitchen and collared the prisoner.
I said, " Oh, you vagabond ; you've shot your own
sister !" He said " I've done what I intended to do."
The prisoner came to ,ny house the previous evening.
The deceased screened herself behind me as if she didn't
wish to see him.

Cross-examined—Thomas Price came with the pri-
soner on the Friday night. I said that night the pri-
soner was the biggest sawney I ever saw in my life. I
said that to the deceased. I saw nothing mad about the
prisoner.

Joseph Rann said—The prisoner was my apprentice.
He came home at 2 o'clock on the Saturday morning in
a state of intoxication. I left him on the sofa. I came
down at 7 o'clock and found he was gone. I saw the
prisoner at the gaol, and said " You've done for your•
self now." The prisoner replied, " I intended to do it
before I started." The carbine, &c., are my property.

Cross-examined—The prisoner was quite intoxicated
at 2 o'clock in the morning. I saw him again at 12 or
1. He did not appear to be sober then.
W. E. Johnson said—l am a surgeon at Dudley. I
saw the deceased, and examined the wound behind her
ear. I believe that caused her death.

Cross•examined—l examined the tongue of the de-
ceased. One or two shots entered the nerve which
moves the tongue. The injury would prevent speech.
Mr. Kettle addressed the jury for the prisoner, and
ccntended that they ought ❑ot to convict him of the
crime of murder upon statements alleged to have been
made by him in a state of intoxication.
Chief Baron Pollock having summed up the evidence
with great minuteness, the jury, in about five minutes,
found the prisoner guilty.
The Chief Baron then said the case was one of the
clearest which had ever come before a criminal court,
and that it appeared from the ovidence that the prisoner
had predetermined to commit the crime some time be-
fore he had actually committed it. His lordship then pro-
nounced the solemn sentence of death in the usual form.
The prisoner was then removed.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.
YORK, JULY 17.
THE CHOWN COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Crowder.)
Mary Walker was indicted for attempting to murder
her infant child, at Roundhay, near Leeds.
Mr. Hardy and Mr. Middleton prosecuted. The pri-
soner was undefended.
It appeared that as two men, named lleptonstall and
Halstead, were walking past an unoccupied house on the
Roundhay-road, near Leeds, called the Rosebud, their
attention was attracted by seeing prisoner, who is
a servant girl, looking round the corner of the honsetan

to have been intended to throw

turbed. From the evidence P
e evidence of Mr. Price, the surgeon,
it appeared that the woman had been onfined only
about two hours when.
she was given into custody.
The child was a full-grown child, and was not hurt,
and soon recovered at the workhouse. There was a slight
contusion on the right side of the head. It was the
opinion of the surgeon if a stone of the size described had
been dropped on the child's head it would have made a
much more serious wound. The prisoner, in defence,
said she felt ill, and had gone to the privy, where she had
been confined, and bad used the stones for the purpose
of endeavouring to reach and get out the child, which
had dropped on the soil. Other evidence in the case con-
tradicted this. _

His Lordship having summed up the evidence,
The jury found the prisoner guilty of an attempt to
murder the child.

She was sentenced to be imprisoned 18 calendar
months.

The rest of the day was occupied in the trial of oases
unfit for publication.
In the Civil Court an action on a bill of exchange and
an action for goods sold and delivered, each of the dulled
pooible description, occupied the day,

INQUIRY INTO THE ALLEGED MISCONDUCT

The commissioners resumed their sittings this morning
at a quarter to 11 o'clock.
Mr. Mitchell wished to call the commissioners' atten-
tion to a case that had enlisted his sympathies in the
hope it would that of the commissioners. On Monday
as a young man, a professor of music, was leaving a
house in Carnaby-street, he was struck by a policeman
on the arm and the bone splintered.
Chief Commissioner Wortley asked what that had to
do with the inquiry ?
Mr. Mitchell said it referred to the conduct of the
police. ' . - -
Chief Commissioner Wortley said they did not sit
there to make a general inquiry.into the conduct of the
police, but their conduct on a particular day and place.
Mr. Mitchell wished to hand the letter containing the
statement he had alluded to, with the surgeon's certifi-
cate, for their consideration.
Chief CemmisSioner Wortley - said they could not
entertain it; Mr. Mitchell had better forward it to the

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. STEPHEN LYNE STEPHENS.-
PUTNEY CHARITY.

The arguments in this case, which were commenced
yesterday, were resumed to-day, and occupied his
Honour the whole morning. The case came before the
court upon an information filed by the Attorney-General
for the purpose of obtaining the declaration of the.court
whether about six acres of land, forming part of the
Roehampton estate, were subject to a charitable trust
for the benefit of the church and poor of the parish of
Putney. The information also asked the land in
question, which was in the possession of the defen-
dant, should be transferred to the churchwardens and
overseers of the parish of Putney upon trust for
the church and poor. In support of this view of the
case it was alleged by the information that up to and
before the year 1634 the land now sought to be reco-
vered was in the possession of the churchwardens and
overseers of Putney, and that in that year they let the
land in question to the Earl of Portland as tenant at
will, for the sum of £6 yearly, and upon that occasion
tie following Agreement was drawn up between them
—" Whereas there lyeth within my New Park and se-
veral grounds at Rouehampton divsrs parcels of land
wch doe contain by estimation six acre and a half bee
they more or less, and doe belong to the Church and
poore of ye pish of Putney in ye county of Surrey for
wih lands lying dispensed th in my said grounds,
being heretofore ordayned for good and charitable use,
I am desirous and willing to give a full and yearly
valuable yearly nest, and satisfaction, and doe promise
and agree to pay unto ye churchwardens and overseers
for the poore of ye said parishe, for ye tyme
being yeatly ye sum of six pounds, the same to
bee paid at the Feast of St. Michael the Arch-
angel, and ye Annunciation of ye blessed Virgin Mary
henceforth by seven portions yearly ; and I doe
further promise and agree to make such further assurance
thereof as by Counsell learned in the law shall be ad-
vised, and to sell out sufficient land of a better value'
for the performance thereof, wch I shall either tye for
ye payment of ye said yearly rent, or otherwise assure
and convey to such pson and their heires, and shall, by
the vestrymen of the said parish, or the greatsr part of
them bee nominated to be feoffees or trust for the same.
In witness whereof I have hereunto sett my band and
Ceai, the Ist day of Sept, in the 11th yeare of the reign
of our most gracious Sovereigns the Issrd. King
Chnries. " PORTLAND."
From the time of the execution of that agreement up
to the present moment the property, as it was alleged,
had descendel from one indisiduai •to another, until
finally it came into the hands of the respondent ; the rent
of 61. a-year had-always been regulatly paid by all pat-
ties. In 1851 the churchwardens of Putney demanded
an increased rent for. the. respondent, and.upon his re
fusing te accede: to that demand, the churchwardens
served him with a notice to quit. The respondent
.at once repudiated the right of the churchwardens to
adopt any such.course, and upon au appikation being
made to him for that purpose he refused to allow the
charchwardena to take any steps for the purpose of ascer-
taining- the boundaries of the alleged parish land.
Under these circumstances the present information was
filed. The principal question in the case arose upon the
agreement entered into between the churchwardens and
overseers, of Putney and the Earl of Portland; in Sep-
tember, 1634.
The Solicitor-General and Mr. Hobhouse, on the pars

SUNDAY BEER BILL COiIMITTEE.
(THIS DAY.)

The Committee of Inquiry resumed their proceedings
this in re tog at thrt usual hour; Mr. 11. Berkeley, the
chairman, presiding.
The first witness examined was Mr. Wakley, one of
the Coronerssfor the county of Middlesex.
He `stated that he bad filled his present office since
1.839; arid held between eleven and twelve hundred in-
Auests annually. As a general rui.e so far as his obser-
vation went the 'feeling of the people against the Beer
Act: of last session was one of violent hostility. His
own impression with regard to the construction of •the
words bona fide' traveller was, that they applied
to any person who was away from his home.
Were he a publican he would supply any person with
refreshment within the prohibited hours if he did not
knots him as a resident in the neighbourhood. He was
oppOsed to the principle of public-houseA being: under
the continued surveillance of the police--and be believed
that nothing wet more catcu?aten to bring the civil force
into disrespect than this very circumstance. So far as
his experietice. went, it ha•-I confirmed him in the opinion
that publicans, as a body, discouraged drunkenness ;
for the simple reason, that no persons were morn annoyed
by drunken people than the publicans themselves.
He thought publicans generally wished to encourage
a respectable, sober class of persons to attend
their .houses. In his district the publicans conducted
their, business in exemplary manner:-
The Chairnian—Have the number of inquests held by
you'on deaths arising front the effects of intoxicating
liquors been in any way diminished since the passing of
the new beer bill 1 ,

Mr. Wakley—By no means.
Examination continued—He regretted that the labour
of the week did not terminate. at two o'clock on the
Saturday. The business of the week was at present
pushed's° far into the Sabbath that the working man
had little or no time for recreation on that day. He
thought the restrictions placed upon the working classes
by the operation of the act were not only very objec-
tionable-, but would never in his, .opinion accomplish the
end in view.— From his knowledge of the working
eiaspes, hellid not believe that drunkenness could ever
be reArAirred.so to att;iin the end- iu view by lec-441it,
tive enactments: -H9 behoved-, on tho other h&nd, that the
-.{anatidri: of the people, -and -thc-; f!'7. Cl*lo4loil
of a nigher tine of axonal feeling,_ would cuoiirraild thane.
surely accomplish the desired effect.
The Obairman—Then you are a firm advocate for the
ation Of the lower Warne, in order to remove the
