TILE N ITIONAL REGISTER.

been murdered. Her body was in consequence taker up on the Mon-
day, and a warrant granted for the apprehension of the husband, who
had absconded ; but his sister, who had resided in the house, and a
young man, her sweetheart, were secured-. Thtsburne was, however,
apprehended at South Shields on the Monday night, and die parties,
with a number of witnesses, were examined by the Magistrates on
Tuesday. It appeared that n fortnight before the time of the wife's
death, her husband had come into the house and struck her, and in the
scuffle a looking-glass was broken. The sister, who had been out, on her
return perceived the broken glass, charged the wife with having done
it—went to a public house where Thoburne was, and urged-him to go
home and correct her, which he did, and the blotvs she received mtn.t
have been dreadful, as bath her arms, and from her shoulder to her
knee on one side, were shock ing'y mangled, and one part • below her
arm seemed to be in a state of mortification ; the surgeons were also
of opinion that she had received little or no sustenance during that
fortnight. The Jury again met on Wednesday morning, and sound
verdict of—Wilful Murder, agaist the husband and his sister. Whets
the body was intern d. Thoburne had, in registering his wife's death,
Mentioned an earlier day, as was proved by the church-books. She
was the daughter of a very respectable farmer in this county, was
at times a little deranged, but quite inuff'aisive, and had brought him
a genteel fortune.
The following singular circumstance occurred at Beverley :—A
young man, of the name of Smith, one of the millers of Beverley
water-mill, was left by his comrade at midnight, on the 10th inst. in
good health, having gone to attend the mill during the watch of four
hours. At four in the morn ng, he was Lund sitting in the mill ap.
parently asleep : but on a further examination, he was discovered to
be lifeless.—His friends, who reside in Hull, went over with a hearse
and coach on Sunday morning, to bring his curp3e there for interment:
but as the body was not at all changed from a healthy appearance,
and ev. n sonic remains of warmth were thought to be detected, the
funeral was deferred ; the corpse remained in the same state six or
seven days afterwards, when signs of putrefaction appearing, it
was interred on Monday se'nnight.
A child about four years old, son of a lady in Nottingham-buildings,
was enticed away from the maid-servant in Mary-le-bone-fields on
Monday, robbed of its clothes, and left nearly naked in Baker-street.
The miscreant was a middle aged respectable looking woman.
Wednesday afternoon, about five o'clock, the following shocking
accident occurred in the Dock-yard, at Woolwich :—A machine,
-1 for the purpose of bending and seasoning ship timber, unfortunate-
ly burst, in consequence of being overcharged, by which eight indivi-
duals lost their lives, and fourteen were dangerously hurt, sevcril
having their legs and thighs broken. The premises on which the
maeliiini stood were destro) al ; and the explosion is represented as
having been most terrpic. Several of the men, it is said, have left
wives and tlimilies.
