"Those who complain most loudly are those only who know not
how to use the common instruments. . , The prac-
tice of surgeons has been marked with all kinds of violence, and in-
difference about the simple cure of diseases, and a passion for
operations, and all the excesses and horror of surgery."—John

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME ClRCUlT.—Chelmslord, March 4.
(Bt rore Mr. Baron PARKE.)

Henry Harrington, 20, labourer, wii4 indicted for the
wilful murder of litizAbeth Cobb, at Tollrabury.
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Rodwell conducted the prosecu-
tion. The prisoner was defended by Messrs. Parry and
Woolieu. _ _

The Learned COUNSEL for the prosecution opened the
case to the jury, in a clear and temperate address.
inquire
said that the charge which they were about to
into was one of the most serious that could be brought
under the notice of a human tribunal, and the circum-
stances by which it would be sought to bring home t
dreadful crime to the prisoner, were such as would
a _.
de-
mand their most serious attention. He then proceeded
to state the, nature of the evidence that would be d
Weed to support the indictment, aad the following t.
'leases were examined:—
James Cobb, examined by Mr. Rodwell—ln Decemberlast I was living with my wife, Elizabeth Cobb, in a cot
age at Tollesbury. We had no family of our own, but
a little girl, named Spurgin, seven years old, lived with
us. On the night of the 25th of November last we went
,o bed about nine o'clock at night. William Mason,
myself, my wife, and Eliza Spurgin lived in the cottage
at this time. A man, named Pewter, also lodged
.with us, but ho was not at home this
night. There
ere two sleeping rooms in the cottage, one opening into
other. Mason slept in the first room, and I,
I,
and my wife, and the little girl slept in the further"one.
The child slept in a crib two feet from my bed on my
vi'e's side. On the following morning I,got up at a
quarter before six. I was called by Mason. Mason and
myself are both dredgermen. When I went out of my
room I left my wife in bed lying on her right side.
While I.was dressing she opened her eyes and asked
me what time I should be home, and I said half-past one.
then wished her good bye and loft the room. I never
saw my wife alive again. When I got down stairs
Mason came in from the garden, and he took his basket
and went off to his work. John Wash, who lives in a
cottage next to mine, and who is also a dredgerman,
(hen came to me, and said he was going to his work,
end he walked on a few minutes before me. It was not
more than ten minutes past six when I left the cottage.
The door was not fastened, but was merely left on
the latch. Mason and Wash worked on the
same
aoOr as I did in oyster dredging, but not in the
same boat. The key of the door was left inside,
Ind anybody could open the door from the outside by
means of a thumb-hole. One of the windows of my cot-
tage opens upon a little flower-garden, and looks into the
-cnool-yard. That window was fastened on the inside
ehen I went out. It was large enough to allow a good
sized man to pass through it. When I got to my work
toned Wash, and all my
mates there. I did not see
elason. I left my work to go home, between half-past
,ne and two o'clock; but in the meantime I had heard
of something that had happened. When I went up stairs
I found my wife lying dead in the bed with her throat
cut. She was lying at this time on her left side. There
vas a box in my bed-room in which I kept my clothes.
found it had been opened, and nearly all the contents
were strewed about the floor. I had some money in a
tea-caddy in the.eame room. This caddy had not been
couched. Upon going into Mason's room, I found that
nis box had also been opened, and some of his things
were lying strewed about the room. Pewter's box,
alto, appeared to have been opened. The prisoner
ived at Tollesbury, but I only saw him in
.ny house upon one occasion, which was much
ibout a month or six weeks before this occur-
rence took place. He came for the purpose of buying
some fish for his sister, Mrs. Wash. Atiout the month
of November I had the intention of buying a boat, and
I had looked at one which I thought would suit me. I
did not know the price of this beat, but it was sold
a'terwards for 91 It was well known about Tollesbury
hat I was looking after a boat. I examined the win-
dow sill adjoining the garden. The window
was open,
ust inside
and there was a piece of bark and a leaf upon the sill.
By Mr. PARRY—The prisoner came only j
the door at the time I have spoken of. He was not in
the habit of visiting its. My cottage is separate but
two other cottages adjoin the one occupied by Wash..
Several men lodged in the other cottages. Some of
these men are dredgermen, and the others are labourers
working upon the land as ploughmen, hedgers, and SO
on. I heard that a hedge stake was found in an osier-
bed about five roods from my cottage, but I did not
see it.

was found, was in a directly contrary direction to that
leading to a cottage called Salcot.
Cobb was then further cross-examined. He said, I
am sure it was about ten minutes after six when I left.
Mason had gone away before me. My wife said nothing
more to me than to ask what time I should be at home.
I did not overtake any of the other men, and they all
got to their work before me. There are a good many
other cottages in Tollesbury besides those I have men-
tioned, and people lodge inmost of them. All those people
were aware that I intended to buy a boat. lam not sure
that it was not half-past seven o'clock when I got on
board my boat to go to work, but I think it was not more
than seven. The first person I sew when I got to the
river was Wash. I did not hear that my wile was mur-
dered until I got nearly home, between two and three
o'clock. I had said that I should be at home at half-past
one o'clock. I met Mr. Solly, and he asked me if I knew
what he was upon? I said, no, Sir, is my wife murdered?
I knew nothing about the murder till I met Mr. Solly
and the people who were with him. I did not, as I know
of, ask them if my wife was murdered before they told
we of it. The reason I put this question was, because
the policeman who had fetched me away from the boat
questioned me all the way we went along about m razor.

before this,tiwe, was also
used by the people in the other cottages. It was quite
dark when I got up on the morning in question, and I
gave Mason a liZht. Mason did not come into my bed-
room before I lett. I never was in trouble for anything
I brought upon myself,
