WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.-April 11.

(Before Mr. Sergeant Adams, Assistant Judge.)
THE CASE OF MRS. RAMSBOTHAM.
[A. portion of the following appeared in our first edi-
tion of yesterday.]
Mary Ramsbothana surrendered to her bail, on an
indictment charging her in the first count with stealing
a pair of lace sleeves on the 15th March last, and in the
second with stealing four cambric handkerchiefs on the
27th March, the property of John James Moule. She
pleaded "Not Guilty."
The circumstances of this painful case having been
already brought prominently under the notice of the
public the most intense interest was manifested on
the trial, and the court was crowded throughout the pro-
ceedings.
Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Ballantine and Mr. Parry were instructed on behalf of
the prisoner.
The case did not come on until about half-past one, at
which hour Mrs. Rainsbotham was conducted into
Court, on the arm of her solicitor, Mr. Lewis, and was
placed in the dock. After her arraignment she was
accommodated with a seat. She remained seated during
the trial, and seemed somewhat feint and to feel her
position most deeply.
Mr. B in opening the case to the jury, which he
did in a most feeling and impressive manner, and amidst
the most profsund silence, said—The prosecutor, who
for the last 18 or 20 years had carried on business as a
draper in Baker-street, Portman-square, had had im-
posed upon him the painful but imperative duty of bring-
ing forward the present charge against the prisoner. The
lady in the dock was the wife of a physician of high
character and eminence residing in Portman-square; and
it was impossible to bear the fact in mind without feeling
the deepest sympathy with herself, the highly re-
spectable persons with whom she was connected,
as well as her own family. At the same time, how-
ever, a stern duty devolved upon him (the learned
counsel) and upon the jury, from which they must not
swerve, under the circumstance;, which would be proved
before them in evidence. Having called the attention
of the jury to the fact of there being two distinct counts
in the indictment, the reason of which he should after-
wards explain to them, the learned counsel went on to
give a plain and simple outline of the facts, which he
should support by the testimony of the witnesses whom
he proposed to call. The learned counsel then proceeded
to call
Mr. Alfred Churchouse, who deposed as follows :—I
am in the empoyment of the prosecutor in this case.
I know the preoner. I remember her coming to our
shop on the 15th March, in the afternoon, She asked
to look at some muslin, which I showed her, and she
selected some remnants as well as a silk handkerchief.
The goods came to 4s. 9d. I had occasion while serv-
ing her to turn my back, which was towards her for a
minute and aehelf. On turning round again, I saw the
prisoner in tie act of concealing a pair of muslin
sleeves under her shawl. I believe the sleeves
produced to be the same. The edges of the sleeves
appeared underneath her shawl. I went tc
Mr. John Moult, the prosecutor's son, and stated to
him what I had seen. He came out to where the pri-
soner was, and I whispered to him that she was the per-
son I meant. go part of the sleeves was then percep
tible. Mr. Mode did not speak to her about it, and inti-
mated to me that perhaps I might have been mistaken.
She was eccorlingly permitted to leave the shop. I
said nothing about this transaction to the prosecutor
until the affair of the handkerchiefs. She came agaii
and made sone purchases in the shop before the 24th
March. I was in the shop when the handkerchiefs were
missed, but did not see anything of the matter.
Cross-examined—The prisoner was known in the
shop, but I was unacquainted with her. It was under-
stood that she was the wife of a medical gentleman in
Portman-squire.
Mr. John Harvey Moule was next called. He said
—lan, the sm of the prosecutor. I remember the 15th
March last Ilyfather was from home ; and inconsequence
of a commurecation made to me by the last witnes=s I went
to that part of the shop where the prisoner was sitting.
I noticed that she had her left arm closely pressed against
her side. I did not see that she had anything under it.
Accordingly, believing that our shoprnan had been mis-
taken, I desired that no notice might be taken of what
he had said. There were some sleeves of the kind pro-
duced on the counter when the prisoner was in. After
she had left I counted them and missed one pair. They
were of the same patters as the pair before me.
Mr. James Watkins, assistant in the shop of the pro-
secutor, said—l have seen the prisoner several times
but I did not know her on the day I served her. On the
27th March last she came into the shop and asked for
some lining. She selected one piece, and bad six yards
cut off it. It came to 2s. 3J. I asked her whether she
required anything else, and she replied that she did not.
When I asked her that, the lining was on a recess at the
back of the counter. I, however, offered her a box
of handkerchiefs for her inspection. They were
cambric, and of a thin texture, at 15s. the half-dozen.
She said she did not want any, and if she did they were
not the sent she should choose. Some other handker-
chiefs of a different quality were afterwards handed to
shop,were the description she
and I showed her

should purchase, but she did not want any just then. I
produce four of those handkerchiefs, which are all in one
piece. She took hold of the handkerchiefs of
whicle she approved and examined them. She asked
me to be kind enough to show her a dress of
a particular kind. She said she merely wanted
to look at it, but itvas

I had to go to the other
she examined it. I afterwards made her out a bill for
the lining, which came to 2s. 3d., which she paid, and de-
siring that the article might be sent to No. 7, Portman-
square, she quitted the shop. I can swear to the hand-
kerchiefs produced.

Cross-examined—The prisoner did not ask for the
handkerchiefs to
to her, with the ides
to some of them. I did not know that she was the lady
who I bad heard had taken some sleeves. I did not
know her. I believe it was Mr. John Moule who passed
my the handkerchiefs across the shop. I cannot say
whether he heard my conversation with the prisoner.
Mr. John Moule was here re-called, and stated
that he overheard the whole of the conversation betweer
the last witness and the prisoner ; but he did not know
who she was until afterwards. When he handed the
handkerchiefs across the shop he did not recognise her.
He had no other object in handing the articles to the last
witness beyond the probability of effecting a sale. I saw
the prisoner put the handkerchiefs in her pocket.
Cross-examined—l did not know that the witness
Welsh was watching the prisoner. I was about a yard
and a belt from her when I saw her pocket the handker-
chiefs. I said nothing to her, because some one had
gone to call my father. I did not take any notice, be-
cause I wished to see if anything further would occur.
The prisoner was standing-at the counter, and I was in
the midd!e of the shop.
Sae nuesl Welsh said am in the employ of the prose-
cutor. 1 remember the prisoner coming to the shop on
the 27th March. She went to the counter which we
call the "linen counter," and which is on the left hand
side as you eater. I saw her come in, and knew her. I
bad had a communication from Churchouse as to what
took place on a previous occasion. I was standing be-
tween 10 and 12 yards from the prisoner, and could
command a view of her actions. There was no other
customer in the shop at the time. I saw the prisoner put
her hand forward and take the handkerchiefs. They
were lying in the basket before her, and she took them
and put them in her pocket. I immediately went and
informed Mr. Motile, senr. He did not come out. The
prisoner soon afterwards left the shop. In consequence
of some directions I received from Mr. Moule
I followed her and saw her go into a stationer's
shop. I waited till she came out, when I said
to her " I believe you were at Mr. Moule's
shop this morning." She replied, " I have not ;"
but she immediately said "Oh ! yes, I have." I then
asked her if she would be kind enough to step back, as
Mr. Moule wished to speak with her ; which she did
without heiitation. It is some little distance from the
stationer's shop to our shop. I said nothing further to
her ; but addressing me, she said, " I have got the
handkerchiefs in my pocket." I did not make
any reply, on which she said, " I did not intend
to steal them," and added, "I, took them
to show some person (witness believed she said her sister),
and if they had been approved of I should have called
and paid for them, and if not I should have brought
them back." Immediately on this statement, I said
"I do not think that is probable, for I believe you took
some sleeves a fortnight ago," to which she made sonic
reply which I could not understand. We both then
arrived at Mr. Moule's shop. I showed her up
stains, and Mr. Moule followed. She immediately
took the handkerchiefs out of her pocket, and laid them
on the table. She said—" These are the handkerchiefs,
but I hope !you will look over it, Mr. Moule." Mr.
Moule observed that it was a very serious matter, and

taken." She said that was the first thing she had
,h,eysocuarbcaevlye
beenk knew

I taken. Mr. Moule then remarked that he be-
lieved she took souse sleeves a short time ago,
to which she said, " Yes, handkerchiefs and
1 the sleeves are the only things I have ever taken ;
I hope you will forgive me." She then said she
hoped Mr. Moule would consider her family, and the
disgrace it would bring on Dr. Ramsbotham. She also
asked that her husband might be sent for if Mr. Moule
would not forgive her.
Cross-examined—l do not recollect Mr. Moule saying
I the only thing he could do was to send for an officer. I
was riot watching the prisoner particularly when I saw
I her take the handkerchiefs. We notice the movements
of all our customers when they are left at the counter
unattended to. When I first saw her, I said to Mr.
Moule, jun., "Here is Mrs. Rarrisbotham coming in."
Re-examined—l knew she had been suspected of steal-
ing some sleeves, but nevertheless I did not watch her
more closely than I should have done in the case of any
other person.
Police constable Beckett, 231 D, said—l was called
into the prosecutor's house on the 27th March, and the
prisoner was given into my custody on the charge of
stealing the handkerchiefs produced. I heard her ask
Mr. Moule to forgive her, but Mr. Moule said he had no
other alternative. She asked him a second time, but he
said he could not look over it. She then turned away
and said, "You may do as you like," in a very indig-
nant manner. I put her in a cab, and we called
on Dr. Rarnsbotham as we went towards the station.
Mr. H. Bonser, clerk to Messrs. Ashuret, the solici-
tors for the prosecution, was the last witness called, but
he was riot examined.
This closed the case on behalf of the prosecution.
Mr. Ballantine then proceeded, very pathetically, to
address the jury for the defence. He said no doubt the
jury, long before they came into that box, were well
acquainted with the details of that painful case. Now,
he was not one of those who would put forward the po-
sition of the prisoner as a ground why the jury should
in the slightest degree swerve from the strict letter of
their duty ; but, nevertheless, he could not but ask
them to bear in mind also, that if an adverse verdict
were given against his client, her hopes would be
crushed, and her peace of mind be destroyed for the
remainder of her life jy the knowledge that
she had been the means of bringing so much affliction
and degradation on a family to whom she had always
hitherto been endeared as a faithful wife and an affec-
tionate parent—whilst the future prospects of her hus-
band, who was a gentleman, not by the mere accident
of birth or fortune, but who they all knew to be a gen-
tlemen of indefatigable industry and eminent talent, as
well as those of their ckildren, would be irretrievably
blighted were the lady to be branded as a convicted felon.
The learned counsel then proceeded to the considera-
tion of the circumstances as proved on behalf of the pro-
secution. He complained that whatever might have
been the motives which had actuated the pr .secution,
the prisoner had scarcely been fairly dealt with in that
matter. He also complained that the handkerchiefs
which were alleged to have been feloniously taken by the
prisoner were actually forced upon her notice —even when
t was well understood amongst the assistants in the
.hop that she had been suspected on a preceding occa-
-ion ; and this being so, she, impelled by feelings over
which she could have no control, and to which
he would more fully advert presently, fell into the trap,
and took possession of them. Having maintained that
the duty of Mr. Houle, when he was spoken to
in reference to the first theft, was at least
to have represented the matter to Dr. Remsbo-
,ham with a view to some proper restraint being placed
open the actions of the prisoner, the learned counsel
went on to ridicule the idea that a person of the affluent
circumstances in which the prisoner was beyond doubt
ituated, went to the prosecutor's shop for the mere
murpose of pilfering whatever she could get hold of. He
lwelt at some length upon the means which were
-adopted to tempt, as it were, the unhappy lady
—unhappy in the worst possible sense—and suffer-
ing„ as he should show, from a morbid and dis-
cotto t

in-
tent, he put it to the jury whether they could believe
the prisoner had taken the articles as alleged, " with
a felonious intent," or whether it would not ap-
pear to them more probable that she was
impelled by a delusion of that involuntary,
indescribable kind, which, although it scarcely
amounted to actual mania, had yet its origin in a dis-
eased mental condition. If so, the act, being motiveless
and purposeless,was but afeeling,buta simple taking. Hav-
ing at some length enlarged on this presumption—in sup-
port of which he adduced an acknowledged fact in medi-
cal experience, showing that women, at some periods in
their lives, were affected by a species of insanity, which
rendered them irresponsible for their actions, and
which not only betrayed them into the gratification by
unlawful means of their cupidity, but not unfrequently
led them to the commission of deeds of sa much
more serious type the learned counsel applied
his observations on this point as explanatory of
the prisoner's otherwise unaccountable conduct. He
concluded an energetic address by referring to the large
number of witnesses to the prisoner's character whom
he was prepared to bring forward.
The following witnesses were then called by Mr.
Parry as to the character of the prisoner :
Mr. S. Thompson, grocer, who had known the pri-
soner since 1828. No otie who came to thei r shop was
more respected, or was more scrupulous and regular in
her accounts.
Mr. J. Quartermain, upholsterer ; Mr. A. F. Wace,
butcher ; Mr. W. Nicholson, silversmith ; Mr. L.
Groves, butcher; and Mr. T. Boot, grocer and wine
merchant, all of which were tradesmen with whom the
prisoner
in all
sonerwraesspinectth: habit of dealing, also spoke highly of
her
Dr. John Russell, the rector of Bishopsgate, said he
had known her for a number of years, and no one of his
arimhioners had been more exemplary in all her relations

in life.
Dr. Tweedie, and the Rev. H. Brown, rector of Wool
wich, and Mr. Lewis, her solicitor, also gave the lady
the highest character.
Several ladies having also spoken to the unexception-
able reputation of the prisoner,
The learned Judge proceeded to sum up the evidence,
!onflning himself chiefly to directing them on the ques
ion of the prisoner's intent, a•td left it to then
to say, in the exercise of their common sense, as
men of the world, and under the obligation of their oath,
whether or not they conscientiously believed that the
nrisoner was impelled by such motives as had been al-
luded to by the learned counsel.
The jury, after a few minutes' consultation, expressed
a wish to retire.
After being absent for an hour and a-half, and it being
six o'clock, the learned judge sent for the jury aid in- ,
quired whether there was any probability of their soon
agreeing to a verdict.
The Foreman said he was afraid not.
The learned Sergeant thereupon said he would ad-
journ the court until half-past seven o'clock, which would
afford them an opportunity of coming to some conclu-
sion, and if they were not then agreed he would see
what else could be done.
The jury again retired, in order to consider whether
they were desirous of consulting the Court upon any
point, but after the lapse of a few minutes,
The learned Serjeant adjourned the court nominally
during pleasure, but virtually until the hour above

named.
On the meeting of the Court at the appointed time,
the jury were again sent for, and, on their coming into
court, were asked if they had agreed upon their verdict !
The Foreman said that they had not, and that there
was no probability of their doing so, as they were equally
divided for a conviction and for an acquittal.
The learned Judge said that they must again retire.
After the lapse of half an hour, a consultation having
taken place between the learned counsel for the prose-
cution and for the prisoner,
Mr. Parry said, as it appeared from the statement of
the foreman of the jury that they were equally divided
in opinion, and might be so to-morrow morning, if they
were looked up all night, that, with the consent of the
counsel for the prosecution, he had to suggest to the
Court that the jury should be discharged without giving
a verdict, and at the same time he wished to state that
he by no means considered that, from the information
the prosecutor had received from his servants, he had
gone at all beyond his duty in bringing this case forward.
He did not consider he had been actuated by any vin-
etictive motives, er that any stigma could rest upon him.
Mr. Bodkin, on the part of the prosecutor, acquiesced
in this course, but denied most emphatically that any
trap hal been set for the prisoner by the prosecutor.
The learned Judge rejoiced at the course taken, for,
however .painful it might be to him if the jury had re-
turned a verdict of guilty, he should have felt it to be
his duty to sentence her to a term of imprisonment.
This case was only another example of the evil effects of
the present jury system, which made the verdict depend
not on the beet-considered opinions, but on the men who
could stand starving the longest. He thought, if a jury
did not return a verdict in a reasonable time, that they
should be discharged and another jury taken.
The jury was then called into court, and told that they
were dt,charzed without giving a verdict.
Ti;l4 announcement appeared to them r. most agree
able surprisr, as a re,idence i the sessions house all
night bad be:m fully a=tticipatt,,d.
The court rose at a few minutes after eight o'clock.
The proceedings of the trial extended over a period of
three hours.

THE HOPWOOD WILL CASE.

In this long-pee ding case the jury retired at lia,q past
7 this evening, and at 10 o'clock their verdict was given
for the defendant.

The result appeared to give the greatest satisfaction in
court.

Dr. Forbes Winslow, and Sir Alexander Morrison,
M.D., were in court during the whole of this protracted
trial, and were prepared to give evidence as ex parte if
called upon to do so; but evidence of a purely specula-
tive and scientific character was not thought necessary
on either side.

HOME CIRCUIT—KINGSTON, APRIL 11.
Mr. Baron Platt sat again to-clay to dipole of the re-
maining common jury causes.

COTTERELL V. HICKS.
This was an action t ) recover damages from the de-
fendant for having injured a dog belonging to the
plaintiff.
Mr. Bramwell, Q.C., and Mr. Willes were for the
plaintiff ; Mr. Petersdorff and Mr. Henneker appeared
for the defendant..

The plaintiff was an attorney in London, and he
had a country residence near Reigate. The defendant
is the bailiff to a gentleman named Wythes, residing
in the same neighbourhood ; aad it appeared that on
the 17th of February the dog, whose injuries were the
subject of dispute, had strayed frog► his master's pre-
mises, and was found on the grounds of the defendant.
One of his children, being alarmed at the sight of the
animal, called to her father, and he, seeing a strange dog,
went with a stick for the purpose of dislodging it, but,
finding he could not do so very easily he struck him,
and the dog very naturally began to growl. This still
further aroused th• alarm of the defendant, who forth-
with went home and procured a gun which he discharged
at the animal, and he then returned to load his gu❑ a
second time, but in the interval the dog had made his
way home. It appeared that the dog, which was repre-
sented to be a very harmless animal, and a great favou-
rite, was very considerably injured, and some attempts
at settling the matter by paying a certain amount to a
chsrity having failed, the present action was at length
brought.
These facts were proved in evidence, and Mr. Bishop,
of Bond-street, whose interest in all matters connected
with the canine species is well known, was called as a
witness to prove that the animal was worth before the
offence 121. or 151., but that in consequence of the in-
juries she had received she was not worth more than 11.
The defence suggested was, that there had been some
mad dogs in the neighbourhood of Reigate about the
time of the occurrence, and that the defendant finding a
strange dog in such a position was very naturally
alarmed, and took the most effectual means to get rid of
the intruder.

The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Da
wages, 101.

In the paucity of sport to-day the Column Stakes was
the only feature that possessed more than a passing in-
terest. Habena, the favourite, fully justified the confi-
dence of her backers, by winning easily by a length.
Bonnie Morn, despite reports of his being lame, ran
second to her. The weather was much better than on
