hood, and having always borne an unimpeachable cha-
racter, he felt so indignant at such a scandalous imputa-
tion that he instantly knocked him down, and would do
the same again upon the like provocation.
Mr. Hammill said that such an injurious and un-
founded aspersion was certainly strongly calculated to
exasperate the feelings of a respectable man, which he
believed the defendant to be, and as he felt reluctant,
under the circumstances, to impose a penalty, he should
allow them to retire into a private room, and endeavour
to effect an amicable arrangement.
After a short absence the parties re-entered the court,
and it having been intimated by the complainant that he
had no wish to proceed further in the matter, the de-
fendant was ordered to be discharged.

WESTMINSTER:--Isabella Mary Jolley, a respect-
able-looking woman, 42 years old, was placed at the
bar, on suspicion of having murdered her mother.
Sarah Massoup, sworn—l am servant to the prisoner,
at 33, Hill-street, Knightsbridge. The family consisted
of Miss Jolley and her mother, who was a widow getting
on for 90. She was very infirm, but not bedridden.
I had to help to undress and get her into bed. I did so at
ten on Wednesday night. The prisoner came home at
eleven. I went to bed, and about three o'clock was
awoke by the prisoner coming into my room. She had
no light, and was not undressed. She told me I need
not get up before seven o'clock, when I was to make
breakfast and take it up. I rose at the hour named,
and was taking the breakfast up to the second floor front
room where the old lady slept, when the prisoner told
me I must not go in there, but must take it into the next
room. Prisoner and her mother slept in the front room,
and it was in that room I had put the old lady to bed
the night before. I was trying to open the door of that
room when the prisoner spoke to me, and I found it
locked. She had been out about eight o'clock, and
came up the stairs at that moment. She said she did
not wish it to be opened, because " pussey" would go
in there. I said, "That is very strange, for misses is
so fond of the cat." She went into the room with the
breakfast, and I went down stairs. • A little while after-
wards I went up into the back room, and there I found
the tea things. They were dirty, and both cups had
been used. Prisoner went out again, shortly after I had
taken the things down. She came in about 10 o'clock.
When I asked her if she would have the usual washing
done, she told me she would not. I went down stairs,
and remained there till a policeman came.
Mr. Arnold—Who first told you of her death ?
Witness—The policeman. Prisoner then came down
to me, and I said " It was very wrong of you not to
have said anything about misses being dead." She said,
" Fanny, don't speak." •
Mr. Arnold—When she came to the room to you, at
night, did she say anything else besides what you have
told me.

Witness—Yes. I had given her notice last week to
quit, and she said that I might go to a lady to see about
another situation, and she said lier_brother had told her
that she had better take her mother to the salt-water
for the benefit of her healtb, and that Mrs. Crapp would
take care of the house. She said, "Do you think you
will go and look for a place to-morrow ? There will be
nothing to binder you." I have been in the habit of go-
ing into the deceased's room with the breakfast, and
cutting her bread and butter. I never found the door
locked before.

Prisoner, upon being asked whether she wished to put
any questions to the witness, said, in an almost inaudible
tone, that she did not go into the servant's room after
11 on Wednesday night, and then merely went to give
some instructions about breakfast, thinking that her
mother would want something early.
'Witness repeated that the visit was after she had been
in bed as described.

Mrs. Mary Crapp, 17, Hill-street, the wife of a builder,
said—l know Miss Jolley. I passed her parlour window
when she tapped at it a little after 12 yesterday morn-
ing. I stopped, and she said, "I am mad—l am almost
mad ;" and holding her hands to her head, appeared
in a most agitated state. I went in and she said some-
thine, about her poor mother, and added, "She is dead."
I said, " Was she ill?" and she said something about a
razor and cutting her throat, and of her (prisoner) hav-
ing put her mother's feet up on a chair, and her dying
quietly, and about something wet, something about the
mother having said, "Don't trouble, I am very wet,"
and of her putting her band to her breast and saying,
"I am dying." Prisoner told me she tried to cut her
own throat, but could not for the life of her. She kept
putting her hands up to her head in a very strange man-
ner. She said the. occurrence took place about the
morning. She said she was cold and stiff then. She
said the servant did not know it. She did not like to
tell her because she was a Catholic. I do not know
what that had to do with it.

Mr. Crapp, Sergeant M`Leod of the B division, and a
Mr. Huggard, were severally examined. Their united
testimony was to the followingeffect :—After'the prisoner
informed them that her mother was dead, she oh.
served Sergeant M`Leod, who had entered the passage
a moment after the other two, and appeared very much
alarmed, and said that Mr. rapp should not have told
a policeman. They went upstairs to the second floor
front room. Prisoner unlocked the door, and they went
in, and saw the deceased lying across the bed with her
feet on a chair, and her throat cut. Prisoner said that
about daylight she heard something the matter with her
mother, who said " I am very wet," and when she put
her hand upon her she discovered that it was blood. She
asked deceased what was the matter, when she replied
"I am dying." Prisoner said she then laid her back upon
the bed and put her feet upon a chair and she inune-
die.tely expired. The police sergeant asked what
deceased's throat was cut with, when she replied
a raaor, and pointed to the table drawer. The
policeman took the razor out of the drawer, and ex-
amining it said, it is quite clean. She replied, " I have
washed it, and I have taken it out this morning and
had it sharpened." She said she had tried to cut her
own throat, but the razor would not act upon her. Pri-
sorer requested the constable not to tell the servant, as
she was a Catholic whom prisoner did not like, and that
she would swear anything.
Some additional evidence having been given,
brother of the prisoner solicited an adjournment., in
order that the accused might be provided with legal as-
sistance.

Mr. Arnold immediately assented, and the accused
was remanded WI Thursday next.

THE SLOW POISONING CASE.

DARLINGTON, FRIDAY.
The prisoner, Joseph Snaith Wooler, was again
brought up on remand, for the fourth time, this morning
at ten o'clock, at the magistrates' room. Three justices
were present—Messrs. Allan, Smith, and Golling.
Mr. Marshall, the prisoner's solicitor, on the latter
beim! called up, said he had this morning seen Mr.
Smith, the solicitor for the prosecution, and understood
from him that he would not be present to-day, nor would
Mr. Davison, his counsel. Under these circumstances
the course to be pursued, as agreed upon, was to for-
mally remand Mr. Wooler until Friday next, when the
further evidence, he presumed, would be gone into.
The magistrates at once formally remanded the pri-
soner.

The court had become well filled, and the spectators
seemed to leave with great reluctance.
The analysis of Professor Taylor has not yet arrived,
but is anticipated to be ready by the next examination.

TILE LATE EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT
ON WESTMINSTER BRIDGE.

Latt evening Mr. Bedford held an inquest at West-
minster Hospital on the body of a man unknown, who
lost his life in such an extraordinary manner, on West-
minster bridge, on Wednesday night last. Some parti-
culars of the case appeared in this journal of Thursday,
hut although a full description of the deceased and the
property found upon his person had been published, no
one had yet come forward to identify the body or to
claim the property found upon it.
A. great many witnesses were examined, but the fol-
lowing contains the principal features of their evidence :
William Clare, of 15, Maiden-lane, C,ivent-garden,
who appeared to be suffering severely from the injuries
be had received, said that on the morning in question he
was at work at Westminster-bridge, and was standing
on a "traveller" winding up the diving-belle, when
everything shifted momentarily from him, the wheels of
some the machinery flew in sundry directions, setting fire to
tarpaulin, and he understood that one piece of the
wheel had struck the deceased and killed him. 'Witness
was also severely injured, but, he was glad to say, he
had got away alive.
Mr. James Campbell said that he wag in the employ
of the contractors, Messrs. C. J. Mare an • d Co,Blac
Black-
wall. He instructed a person named 'Watts to. look after
o of
the machinery that caused the death. The part whieh
broke was the "crab." He saw no defect in its con-
struction.
Ey the Coroner—He had so much confidence in the
general formation of the machines that he had ordered
two others of the same sort.
Mr. Edward Wallis, house surgeon, described the na-
ture of the injuries which the deceased had received.
He was quite dead when brought into the hospital. He
found that the chest was broken in, the bag of the heart
was exposed, and the heart was lacerated, which had ,
caused instantaneous death.
Mr. John Watt, in the employ of Messrs. C. J. Mare '
and Co., said that he was a mechanical engineer, and he
knew from his own knowledge that every chain that had
been used in the machinery had been proved to carry 15
tons weight, but when the accident took place there
was not one-third the weight upon the bearings.
By the Coroner—There was a complication of wheels
in the machines for the purpose of giving power. The
atmosphere materially affected iron, but the present
time of the year was most favourable for the gaiety of
iron machines.
The Jury returned a verdict of accidental death by the
breaking of machinery used for the new bridge; and
the jury recommended, for the safety of the public, the
formation of guards over the working parts of the ma-
chinery,
