CRIAILVAL COURT.-(TIiIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
THE MURDER IN FOLEY-PLACE.

This morning being appointed for the trial of Luigi
Baranelli, for the murder in Foley-place, a gocd deal of
ioteret was manifested to hear the proceedings.
Shortly before ten o'clock Mr. Russell Gurney, Q.C.,
took his seat upon the bench, and the prisoner was then
placed at the bar. He was well dressed, and appeared
to be still suffering from the injury he inflicted upon
himself at the time of the murder.
He pleaded not guilty, and having elected to be tried
by an English jury, the prisoner was removed from the
bar.

Mr. Justice Erlo took his seat on tho benea a few mi
nutes after ten o'clock, and the prisoner was again placed
at the bar, to- take his trial for the murder of Joseph
Latham.

Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clerk conducted the prosecution.
Mr. Maoenteer and Mr. Le Breton were counsel for
the prisoner.
Mr. Bodkin, in opening the cage, said that, although
the charge was one of a serious character, the circum-
stances were very simple, and he should therefore not
occupy unnecessarily the time of the jury by making any
lengthened speech to them. The learned cotnsel then
went on to state the fact', and having done so, called
Sophia de Veaux, who said that she knew the de-

ceased man, Joseph Latham, who lived, under the name
of Lambert, at No, 5, Foley-place, to which place he
had removed a short time previously, from Nevrman-
street, Oxford-street. A woman lived with tha deceased,
and both passed by the name of Lambert. The prisoner
had reiided there with them. Deceased and Mr. Lam-
bert slept in the back parlour, and a Mrs. Williamson
lived in the house, carrying on the business of a milliner.
Upon the morning of Sunday, the 7th of January, the
prisoner came to the house, and witness let him in.
Prisoner gave her a card to take down stairs, and
she had no sooner done so than she heard

the discharge of two pistols. She instantly ran
upstairs, and upon entering the room, sax Mr.
Lambert lying dead, and Mrs. Larubart bleeding from,
wounds which she said prisoner had inflicted upon her.
She then ran out into the street and gave the alarm.
Witness did not know of any intimacy existing between
the prisoner and Mrs. Williamson. She believed he
was by trade a tailor.
By the Judge—There was nothing particular in his
manner when she let him in.
Mary Jeanes, the wounded woman, was the next wit-
ness. She was dressed in deep widow's mourning, and
remained seated whilst she gave her evidence. She ap-
peared to be in considerable pain and very weak. Hay-
ing been sworn, she stated that she knew the deceased.
She lived with him as his wife. The prisoner had lived
with them at Newman-street, and after they removed
to Foley-place he occupied a room upon the same floor
as Mrs. Williamson, who had also lived with them at
both places. A. short time after the prisoner had been
with them he removed from his bed-roum adjoining that
of Mrs. Williamson and slept in a room a floor lower
down. He left their house upon the 28th Deoember. Mr.
Lambert had requested him to leave. He did not follow
any trade, but witness believed he was a tailor ; he was
an idle, lazy man. Witness did not know of any inti-
macy existing between the prisoner and Mrs, William-
son prior to his leaving the house. After Mr. Lambert
desiring the prisoner to leave the house he twice sent
letters to Mrs. Williamson. Upon the -morning of
Sunday the prisoner came into the bed-room,. upon the
ground floor, where she and Mr. Lambert were. He had
a pistol in each hand. He then fired at Mr. Lambert
and shot him dead, and instantly levelled the pistol at
her and fired. She put up her hands and Cried to avoid
the shot, but it passed into her breast, and she was for
a long time confined to her bed from the effe.cts of the
wound.
In cross-examination the witness said that the prise-
ner was always treated most kindly by the deceased
man. The prisoner did not seem to be in a very excited
state upon the morning when the murder was commit-
ted. Whilst the prisoner lived with them lie was a very
quiet man. Whilst he was ill in the hospital Mr. Lam-
bert used to take him things, and do all he could for
him. He used to receive money from his club, and also
money from Scotland, from some one of the name of
Stewart.
Mr. Bodkin'said it was some family with wh om pri-
soner had lived.

Sergeant Hayes proved being called in upon the
morning of the murder, and being told that the pri-
soner bad run upstairs followed and saw. some one run
along the staircase and enter a room upstairs. He in-
stantly afterwards heard a pistol shot, and upon break-
ing open the door found the prisoner lying upon his
face. He (Hayes) then raised him, and saw that he had
shot himself through the face by the side of the nose,
below the left eye. Prisoner ha•l a pistol lying by him.
Prisoner groaned and said, "I shall die, I shall die!"
The prisoner then made a statement to the effect that
an intimacy had existed between him. and Mrs. Wil-

Hayes then
liamson, who was pregnant by him. That it having
become known to Mr. Lambert, he had turned him out

Cross-examined by Mr. Le Breton—The prisoner did
not seem excited when ho made the statement. When
he was seen by Mr. Brydges, tDe surgeon, he made the
same statement, and said that lc had become desperate
about the Thursday previously.

The woman Jane Williamson was then examined, and
stated that upon the morning ofthe murder the prisoner,
after having committed the deed, carne to her room and
said that Lambert was dead. He then ran out of her
room and she heard the report of a pistol in an adjoin-
ing one. The witness then went on to detail the nature
of the intimacy which had existed between them, and
said that he wished her to quit the house of the Lam-
berts in Foley Place. When the Lamberts had told
the prisoner they intended him to go, she saw them
and they said it would be better. Prisoner asked
her to go out and meet bit; and she refused.
She afterwards received two letters from him' makino.
appointments. Prisoner used to say he was un-
happy, and that he should die, and that his ghost
would appear to her the same as it did in the
Corsican Brothers. He also spoke of his daughter at
Penshurpt.
The other evidence given proved the finding of the
bullet in the skull of Mr. Lanibert, whose death must
have been instantaneous, and the removal of the pri-
soner to the hospital.
The case was not concluded viien we went to press.

Notwithstanding the approaching blockade of the
Russian Baltic ports, many ship are chartered to take
orders at Elsinore for a Prussim or a Russian port.
To:s hal liPen et,i fly in con,t.ple,ice of expectd.lions of
peace ; but it is presumed it will be quite legal to order
them from Elsinore to Russian pats until a formal noti-
fication of blockade shall hay° hem issued.
