THE SUN,

INCREASE OF POPULATION.

As the births in the quarter were 159,136, the
deaths 100,813, the increase of population by natural
cause is 58,323. The increase in the previous quar-
ter was 55.094 ; in the corresponding quarter of
1851, 59,499. In the quarter ending June 30,1852,
125,112 emigrants sailed from the ports of the united
kingdom at which their are emigration agents ;
21,890 sailed from Irish ports, 8,687 from the Scotch
ports of Glasgow and Greenock, and 94,535 from
English ports, namely, 3,224 from Plymouth, 15,304
from London, and 76,007 from Liverpool. It is
known that a large but unknown proportion of the
emigrants from Liverpool are of Irish origin; but the
birthplace is not distinguished in the abstracts.
The price of provisions has varied little during the
quarter; mutton and beef have, however, bs2en a little
cheaper then they were in the previous quarter ; the
price of wheat remains 40s. 10i. a quarter.

STATE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

The deaths in the spring quarter were 100,813, and
the mortality was at the rate of 2.227 per cell.. per
annum, which is slightly above the average of the
season. The excess of deaths was chiefly in the
town districts, which still maintain their fatal Fe-
eminence over the country in destroying the lives of
the population. The rate of mortality in the 506
districts, comprising chiefly small towns and country
parishes, was 2.052; in the 117 town districts, 2.436 ;
so that out of the same population, for eye' four
deaths in the districts where the air and water are
comparatively pure, there are nearly five deaths in
London and our other towns, where all the sanitary,
arrangements are still left so imperfect that no im-
provement sensibly affecting the rate of mortality has
hitherto been effected. In the three months that
nave elapsed, 48,357 deaths have been registered in
the town districts in the place of 40,000, who would
have died if the mortality had not exceeded two per
cent.; a standard of salubrity by no means high or
unattainable. The season has been unusually cold,
but food has been abundant, and from the notes of the
registrars generally it may be inferred that the people
are actively employed.
In London 13,173 deaths were registered in 13
weeks; 2,828 were ascribed to zymotic diseases, 443
to violence, privation, cold, or intemperance. 19
deaths were caused by prisons, 5 by laudanum, 3 by
oxalic acid, 3 by essential oil of almonds, and 2 by
prussic acid. Two of the deaths were ascribed to
overdoses •of laudanum ; the others were cases of
suicide, and included 7 males, 4 femaleS, of ages
ranging from 18 to 70. One death was referred to
Couv:s oil,
one to improper medicine, one to lead (a
painter, age 36), and three to poisoning by accident.
Lis gratifying to observe that no cane of death by
arsenic has been registered in London. Of intem-
perance 20 died, 39 of delirium tremens ; of privation
8, cold 5, burns and scalds 50, hanging, strangling,
end suffocation 78, drowning 59, fractures and coete.
sions 121, wounds, gunshot and others, 19, other
violence 15.
smallpox, scarlatina, hboping.cough, and typhus
have prevailed to some .exteu not only in London
but in many parts of the country; and persons, with
families, who are about to visit strange
.districts in
search of health will obtain information from the
notes of the registrar, or by local inquiries, which
may prevent their exposure to local epidemics.
The following is cne example, among many, of the
efficacy of vaccination :
" totneas Buckfestleigh—A. case of virulent
smallpox was introduced in March last into a
wthickly-
populated part of this town from Ply mouth ( here
nurnba.s have suffered, and its fatality has been
grea.) by clothes brought hither, aim worn by a
child about five years old, who took the infection, but
passed well through the disese. No other case ap-
peared, the juvewie popuLP.tion having been imme-
diately vaccinated to the number of 400, or nearly u
fifth of the whole."

Much good has already been effected by the en-
forcement of sanitary regulations in the lodging-
houses of the country. The registrar of North St.
Giles says—" There is a deorease-of one-fifth in the
deaths as compared with those of the corresponding
quarter of last year, which I attribute to the sanitary
erangernents enforced by the police, in making the
:Indlords of the houses in Church-lane and the
r'keTY whitewarl and cleanse them, and not allow-
ing above a certain number of persons to sleep in the

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
VICE. C !JAN GEL LOR' S COURT, Aug. 0,
(Before Sir GEORGE TURNER.)
MORGAN V. MILMAN.

The VICE..CRANCELLOR gave judgment in this ease,
in which the question was to whom purchase-money,
nmeentintr to about 7,5001, by the South Wales
Ra
lateilwa S"iyCr° aYfor lands taken from the estate of
the Charles Morgan was payable. The precise
amount of the purchase-money was not egreed upon, and
it had iscen argued that there had been a valid exercise of
Sir Charles Morgan's powers of sale under a settlement.
This was denied by the other side. ills Honour held that
the contract was one that could not be enforced against
the parties who were ultimately entitled under the set-
tlement, and intimated that it would be for the benefit of
those parties, if competent, to consider whether it would
or not be beneficial to them to adopt the contract.

MILNER V. HARRISON..
This was a motion for a perpetual injunction to re-
strain the defendant from infringing the plaintiff 'a patent
for making iron safes, on the ground that after two trials
at law the fact of infringement had been established ill
the plaintiff's favour.
Mr. PIOLT supported the motion, which was submitted
to by Mr. Shebbeare for the defendant.
(Before Sir JAMES PARHER.)
BUSINESS OF THE COURT.

The following paper was placed in the court to-day.—
" Vice-Chancellor Parker's Court, August 2, 1852.
" The Lords Justices will hear on Wednesday and
Thursday next any motions, claims, or short causes, be-
longing to this branch of the court, the titles of which
shall be given to the registrar on Tuesday (August 3),
by the plaintiff, or party moving.
" In ruses iu which orders are taken on affidavit of
sour e, one clear day's notice that the matter will be
heard before the Lords Justices must bo given."
The VICE-CHANCELLOR stated that the Lords Jae-
ticss would also bear petitions, which, with the other
business, would greatly relieve the pressure upon the
Court at the close of the sittings.

PERCIVAL V. CANEY.

In this case the Lord Justice Knight Bruce, when
Vice-Chancellor, had made a decree tor the defendants
to transfer and pay to the plaintiff,.Mrs. Susannah Per-
cival, a sum of stock and cash.
The defendants apjy,aled against that decree to the
late Lord Chancellor Truro, vibe dismissed their appeal
with costs. Pending the appeal the stock and cash bola
been brought into court.
Mr. RUSSELL (with whom was Mr. W. Cooper) now
applied to have tee stock and cash transferred and paid
out to the plaintiff.
Mr. MALINS opposed the cpplicatiin, and asked that
the ascck and cash might be retained in court pcudieg
on appeal whiCh the defendants intended to make to the
House of Lords.
His H.ONOtrIt declined to restrain the proceedinr3 gs
nnthr the decree, stating that it was the settled Pc"
tice of the court that an application to restrain a decree
pending an appeal should• be made
branch of the court which had wade the decree; and
that he considered that this decree had becor.,ae the de-
cree of the Lord Chancellor. He granted the DPPliel-
tion; directing, however, that the order should not be
(lanceted cut for ten days. Properij to that.

It appeared from the evidence of a sergeant of the
named Daley, that on the after-
noon of 26th July he saw ate p;isondr and several other
hide boys standing on a brid,tl over the railway at
Wandsworth, and he obsprrcd him stoop down and pick
up a stone and throw it at a -train that was passing.
The stone struck the wheel of one of the carriages, and
upon the constable immediately going'
up to the prisoner
and asking him how he dared to throw anything at the
train, he began to cry, and begged to be forgiven, and
said he shoud not have done it, only Bill Walker, one
of his companions, had “hey" one first, and then he
";rev another." •
Mrn ROBINSON, in'addressing the jury for the prisoner,
said he could not deny that it Was a very improper wet
on his psrt to throw a stun.° at a railway train; but he
said it appeared to him flout the proceeding of the pri-
soner was merely a boyish act of mischief', and that the
evidence would not'ju.i,tity Ole jury in convicting him of
an offence for which he might he transported for life.

that
under the circumstanccs the prisoner ought not to be
convicted of the very serious offence imputed to him by
the present indictment.

The Learned JUDGE having bridly addressed the
jury, they at once returned a verdict of Not
and the prisoner was ordered to be delivered up to his
friends.

William Smith surrendered to take his trial upon an
indictment for misdemeanour,: Another person, named
Everett,
was included:in the indictment, but he did not
surrender to take his trial, and the recognisances of him
self and his bail were consequently estreated.
Mr. E. James, Q C., and Mr. Hawkins conducted
the prosecution; Mr. Locke was counsel for the de-
fendant.
Thecharge against the defendant was of a novel cha-
racter. • The -indictment was framed under a statute
passed• in the thirteenth year of the reign. of Queen Eli-
arsbeth, the object of
,which was to .prevent the practice
of fraudulent deeds of sale and conveyances of property
being made use of to defeat, legal claims. The charge
against the defendants wits, 'that they had unlawfully
conspired together to utter ' certain fraudulent deeds
by which the defendant Smith conveyed sway property
belonging to him, with intent to prevent the prosecutor
of the indictment from getting pOssession of it in suds-
faction of a judgment • he had obtained against Smith.
The circumetances of the case were of a very singular
character; but as they have been repeatedly alluded
to in the course of. the differeet proceedings that have
taken place in connexion with the • matter, it
will not be necessary to do more than to give n
narrative of the facts that appeared in evidence noon the
present- occasion. The prosecutor, Mr. William Cole
Mackley. it appeared, had ptirchased in 1849 a piece of
land at. Wandsworth, Calikd West-hill-grOve, for tmzild.7
big purposes, and a number bf houses wereeree7ecl by
aed others were in the ceuree.of erection upon this
land, when.- ha became acquainted with, the defendant
- Saiitbi who lived at Wandsworth, -and who had the re-
putation of, being a Irnau preparty, sad upon, his
making arepresentation that he would get the prosecu-
tor a better roadway to his property than ho then pos-
sessed, ilr. Mackley consented to coil him a small por-
tion of his land for 411. It appmed pretty plain; from
what afterwards occurred; that Smith •had no other ob•
joct in getting possession of the piece of lend than to
useit as a means of extorting money from the pro-seen-.
tor, for, very corn after it came -into his possession, he
commenced making the meat extraordinary use of it. He
placed-a large number of poles all over theground, upon
which he. bung ' effigies of di rent notorious
people, among others, those of Mr. and Mrs.
,maneinge likewise a number of. old Tote and
and kettles, largo bells, flags, and a great many other
extraordivary matters, the effect of.which.wes to create
such nuisance as to serioesly damage the propertY
of the prosecutor. He, in consequence of the injury and
annoyance he thus Sustained; brought an acti et against
Smith at the Spring Assizes for this county in 1851.
and the above facts being proved, the jury returned a
verdicefor .the -plaintiff, With 500/. damages. - Very soon
after this verdict had born given against him, Smith got
himself-made a bankrupt,' but the commissiontr, upon
the facts, laid before him. eventually annulled the fiat of
bankruptcy, 'on the ground-that be was not a trader. An
endeavour was then made by the plaintiff .in the action
to get hold of. Smith's property in. satisfaction of his
damages and costs, but upon his Attempting to do so,
deeds were produced to stem that he had sold all the
property he possessed to different parties,. and it was
made to appear by one of the inelmtewnts that the pies©
of land-which Smith had purchased of the plaintiff had
been conveyed to's Wadi' named Everett, - the ether de-
teneant in the present indictieent, hconsidaration of the

Yegeruirl Helen Hanson, a smartly-dressed handsome
young "a'atit carrying on the business of a tobacco-
nist, at No. 21, Cray's Inn-lane, Holborn, was placed at
the bar before Mr. Corrio, charged with having cruelly
ill treated Julia Ranson, her daughter, aged 13 years.
The authorities of the pari,:h of St. Andrew, Hol-
born, attended to prosecute the case, and a solicitor at-
tended on the part of the prisoner.
The presecatrix, a fine little girl, appeared in the wit-
ness-box with her eyes dreadfully blackened and
swollen, and otherwise so much injured that when she
was p;.trtio.Uy undressed her person exhibited such a mass
of discoloration and bruises that a snnsation of horror
and indignation was expressed throughout the court.
Having been sworn, with tears in her eyes, she deposed
that the prisoner was in the habit of beating her in
a cruel manner, and had eatrecl the marks then visible
on her person. On Thursday last she beat her and gave
her. the black eyes.

SOUTHWARK.

Yesterday Mary Howard, a young woman, is the
service of Mr. R. Nicholson, landlord of the Jacob'd
Well public-house, Upper Ground-street, Blackfriars,
was p!aced at the bar before Mr. A'Beckett, charged
with staalirg a 50/. Bank of England note, the property
of her imastbr.

The complainant stated that on Thursday, the 29th
ult., he placed a purse, containing a 50/. Bank of
Englund note, in a cheat of drawers which he kept in
his oed-room. The drawer in which the money was de-
posited was unlocked, but the bed-room door, to which
no person but himself, his wife, and the prisoner had ac-
cess, was always kept looked, and reale but themselves
could enter without being beard, as a bell was attached
to the door in such a manner as to be distinctly heard
throughout the house if such attempt were made. He
therefore considered that whatever property was in the
drawers was perfectly safe until the previous morning,
when, on !Telling them, he discovered that the purse•and
the .50/. Batik of England note were missing from them.
Ile at once questioned his wife as to whether she was
aware of the circumstance, but she replied that she was
not, and the prisoner we-s then interrogated on the sub•
jest, and asked if she hail seen the purse, and her answer,
without hes.itation, was,, that she had mound a purse, but
with no money in it, while she was cleaning out the
drawers, and on her producing it from her pocket com-
plainant at once identified it as the one which had con-
tained his money, and as! he placed no credit in her asser-
tion, he called a policeman and gave her into custody for
stealing the 50/. note.
The prisoner said that on Monday her mistress sent
her up to clean the drawers, and that:while she was
doing the work the purse fell out on the floor; it was
empty, and as she thought it belonged to the gentle-
man who, a short time previously, occupied the room,
she put it into her pocket, intending to deliver it up it
any inquiries were made by the owner.
Mr. A'BECKETT remarked upon the carelessness exhi-
bited by the complainant in placing a purse with such
an amount in a drawer without locking it, particularly
as he was aware that his servant (the prisoner) had ac-
cess to the room at all times, although it was protected
from the visits of strange thieves by means of the bell
attached to the door, as already described.
The complainant said that he had but recently re-
moved into the house, and that it was rather in a state of
confusiou, which would account for his not being so
particular as he ought to have been in depositing his
money in a safer place than he did.
The risoner solemnly declared that she found the
purse -s deneribed; and said that if she was dishonest
e
enough to have taken its contents she would not surely
have re'ained it in her possession, but have destroyed it.
The MAGISTR4TE remanded the prisoner, and di-
rected !hat the complainant's wife theuld attend the
next examination.

HAMMERSMITH.
George Webb, aged 27 years, a carpenter, living in
Kent-street, Botough, was brought betore Mr. Poynter,
charged on his own confession with boring feloniously
broken and entered the church of St. Pout, Hammer-
smith, and stealing from therein four surplices, one black
silk gown, two silk hoods, two scarfs, a cassock, four
bottles of wine. and a poplin gown, the property of the
chutchwardens.
John Chapman, police constable N.). 52, C division,
deposed, that about eleven o'clock on Saturday night be
was on duty in Piccadilly, when the prisoner came up
to him and said " Have you heard anything of the rob•
bery at Hammersmith Church?" Witness replied that
he had not, and the prisoner then said, " I am one of the
men who did it, and I wish to give myself up for the
robbery." Witness accordingly took him into custody,
and lodged him at the station-house,
The Rev. James Gilburne, one of the curates of Ham-
mersmith church, proved the loss of the property in
question on the night of the 21st ult. and the following
morning, and stated that a portion of it belonged to
him, and the remainder to the other clergymen of that
church. The vestry-room adjoined the church, and
could only be entered through the sacred edifice.
George Miller, police•ootstubli3 No. 46 T, stated that
after the prisoner had been locked up in the cell at the
station in Hammersmith on Monday afternoon, be called
to him, and said he wished to speak with him. Witness
went to the cell and caution d the prisoner as to what
he said, as it might be hereafter used against him. The
prisoner then made the following confession :—" I came
into Hammersmith with another man between ten and
eleven o'clock at night, and we went to the Suspension-
bridge public-house, where we had a pint of beer. We
then repaired to the church, and got over the wall at a
dark corner of the churchyard. We then went round to
the vestry-room window, and broke a pane of glass; but
finding that there was not sufficient room to admit us, we
went to the north side side of the church, whore we found
one of the windows open. We took off our shoes, and en-
tered the church through the window; and we also obtained
an entrance into the vestry-room. We then forced open a
cupboard and ransacked two or three boxes that were
not locked. We then took out some surplices and silk
gowns. We also drank two bottles of wine, and took
away two other bottles of wine. We placed the surplices
and gowns into a bag, and left the church about half-
past five o'clock in the morning. We went through a
side door towards Fulham. We stopped some time at a
public-house, and then took a steam-boat to London-
bridge."
In answer to questions by the Magistrate,
The witness said the side-door through which the pri-
soner bad stated that hekft the church was fastened in-
side, and ho must have undone those fastenings before
the door mill be opened. The prisoner also said that
he had been imprisoned twelve months for a burglary,
and that he had lately robbed two other churches, one
at New Brompton and the other in Camberwell.
Mr. PAYNTER remanded the prisoner for some days,
in order that the necessary inquiries might be made.

PERSONATING A VOTER IN WEST

SURREY.
At the Epsom Petty Sessions, Horatio Henry
Milling was charged before the Baron de Tessier and
Mr. Farmer, with knowingly and falsely personating
a voter named John Milling, at the recent election
for Members to serve in Parliament for the western
division of the county of Surrey. Mr. Sanders said
that he was instructed to prosecute the defendant
Milling, for falsely and fraudulently personating a
voter named John Milling, and he believed it would
also be his painful duty to include in that charge a
person named Thomas Chitty, of Leatherbead, for
aiding and abetting the defendant. Mr. W. Everist,
solicitor, of Epsom, said :—" On the 20th of July
last I acted es agent at the West Surrey election, at
Epsom, for Messrs. Drummond and Evelyn. About
one o'clock on the dee, in question my attention was
called to polling booth No. 2, where I saw the de-
fendant in company with Mr. Thomas Chitty. They
went up to the poll clerk, Charles Bell. I followed,
and asked Chitty who the voter was. He replied
that I should know soon enough. The defendant
Milling had a card in his hand, Vote for Challoner.'
In consequence of what I saw on the card I went
to the poll-book, and stated that John Mil-
ling was dead. Mr. Chitty said that he was
not, for he was his landlord. I replied that I
held a certificate of his death. The defendant said
he ' voted for Challoner.' Before the vote was re-
corded I interposed, and requested the clerk to put
the question as provided by the statute. The de-
fendant, after some time, said, My name is Horatio
John Milling.' I then charged him with personating
a voter named John Milling. I now produce a cer-
tified extract, from the Crown-office of the entry made
by the poll-clerk, with the initials of the under-
sheriff attached (put in and read) ; also a register of
the voters of the western division of the county
of Surrey, which contains the name of John
Milling, No. '2,192 on the register, describing his
qualification as freehold." Other evidence was then
given to show that the defendant and Chitty walked
arm in arm to the booth, and that Chitty de-
elaied that Milling was the right man. •At this
stage of the case the chairman said that the
bench felt it incumbent. upon them to call upon
Chitty (who sat at the further end of the court) to
appear to this case, as the evidence already detailed
implicated him seriously. That person very reluc-
tantly took his place beside the defendant Milling.
The chairman, addressing Chitty, told hirn that, as
he was placed in a very serious position, he might,
if he pleased, avail himself of professional aid.
Chitty repliA, that when he entered the room he

could
positively assert that he did not know the Chris-
tian name of Milling, whether it was John, Henry,
or James. He held land under Mr. Milling, but
he really did not know his name. This was the
case for the prosecution. Mr. White appsehended
that the bench would now hear the defendants' wit_

HORRIBLE MATRICIDE.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAV.-0,1 S.4turkinY night, at a
late hour, a shociii;g murier was COnlrnittej at
Preston, in the pari,h of Woodebureh, about-, two
tr,iks from Birkenhead, on the CheAlire sif!e (sf the
:11.1ersey, under circumstances of an extremilly
native.

In Prenton-lane stands three cottager, which are
iehabited by agricultural labourers. In one of them
dwelt a widow, named Elizebeth Thomas, aged 48,
and a family cousis!ine of two grown-up sons, Wil-
liam and Joseph, aged respectively about 25 and 23
years, and a little boy, Samuel, aged nine yeare.
The unfortunate cause of the tragedy h-id for some
time been suffering under mental debility, which had
prevented him from following his usual occupation.
Hie conversation at times wes strange, and his actions
were characterised by considerable peculiarity, but
up to Saturday evening he had shown no disposition
to commit violence.
It appears that on Saturday night, about nine
o'clock, his mother, his little brother, and he were in
th© cottage awaiting the return of Joseph, who had
gone out for a walk. Turning suddenly to his mother,
he asked why she was sitting up. She replied that
she was waiting for Joe. He told her to go to bed,
as he meant to stop up until Joe returned. She then
went:to bed with her young son, who always slept
with her. It is supposed that the maniac at once pro-
ceeded to the garden at the back of the house and com-
menced digginer a grave of considerable depth, and
that, having completed the operation, he proceeded to
his mother's chamber armed with a neer. The un-
fortunate woman was a•deep, and he immediately per-
petrated the act which caused her death. Her
struggles awoke the little boy, who screamed in fright.
His brother told him not to make a noise, and taking
him in his arms, carried the little fellow to his own
hed, where, after kissing him twice, he left him, tell-
ing him 1 be would be with him presently." He
appears than to have returned to his mother, tied her
hands together with a handkerchief, wrapping her up
in the counterpane, bound a rope round her waist, and
then carried her down stairs, through the kitchen or
scullery, over a wicket gate leading to the garden,- up
some high stone steps, and to the grave which he bad
already prepared. Owing to the precaution of tying
.the body in the counterpane, no blood stained the
ground on the way to the garden, except one drop on
the top step. At 11 o'clock the brother returned.
On opening the house door the murderer called from
his mother's room, " Who's there ?" He replied,
"Me." William then descended the stairs, and on
seeing his brother he said, " Joe, I've killed my
mother, and buried her in the garden. Tye made her
comfortable, and she will be a good deal better off.
Don't you go and say anything." The body of the
unfortunate mother was afterwards found buried in
the garden.
The prisoner was placed before the magistrates at
Birkenhead this morning. His appearance suffi-
ciently betokened the unhappy state of his mind. He
seemed quite unconscious of the awful nature of bis
position, and his countenance was lamentably want-
ing in expression.
On being asked in the usual way whether he was
guilty of the charge, he replied rapidly and with
great vehemence, " No, I did not ; not as I can re-
collect."

Samuel Johneonaaged 9 years, the youngest son
of the deceased, was then placed in Ole witness-box,
and, after several questions had been put to him as to
the nature of an oath, he was sworn. He said, my
mother was a labouring woman. She went our
washing. She was a widow, William Thomas (the
prisoner) is my brother, and lived with us. Another
brother named Joseph lived with us. 0i) Saturday
night I went to bed about 9 o'clock. My mother
went to bed at the same tine. We slept together in
the top room. There are three rooms up stairs.
Soon after I got into bed I went to sleep. When I
went to bed William (the prisoner) was left in the
" house-place" alone ; and soon after I got
into bed I heard some one go out of the
house-place into the back garden. After I
had been asleep some time I was awakened by
my mother, as it seemed to me, pushing againa
me. I then saw William standing by the bed, on
the side where my mother lay. He had a razor in
his hand, and was going to cut her throat. It was
dark at the time. He held the razor in his right
hand, and a lighted candle in the other. He put the
candle in the window place, and grasped my mother's
throat with one hand, cud cut her throat with the
razor which he held in the other. My mother
wrestled and tried to get away, but did not struggle
much. She struggled a little, but was soon quite still.
lie then came round the bed to me, and carried nie to
his bed in the front. When be left me he said, " I
will be with you just now." I was crying vary
loudly 411 the time, and he told me to bold my noise.
When he left me he went back to my mother's room,
and presently afterwards, hearing his steps on the
stairs, I looked and saw my mother's head. I could
not see the body; it was being dragged down stairs.
About ten minutes afterwards he came back to me,
and put a clean shirt on. He then went into nay mo-
ther's room. Presently I heard a noise, and on looking
up I saw the bedclothes being pulled down stairs. I could
not see who was doing it. I heard William go out
of the house by the back way into the garden. I
heard nothing more for about half an hour, until my
brother Joseph came into the room, followed by
William. JuSt before this I heard William's voice
downstairs, speaking to Joseph. He said, " Joseph,
I've killed my mother." I then heard Joseph's voice
crying bitterly. William said, " What's the use
being that soft r she is better off." They then came
upstairs and into the room together. The lint words
said were by William. He said, "If you bed been
half an hour later it would all have been sided"
(cleared away). Joseph then took me out of bed
and took me to the house of the next door neighbour,
where I was put to bed. I stayed there all night.
Before my mother and I went to bed William was
sating at the front door. He asked my mother what
she was staying up for, and told her to go to bed.
She said she was sitting up for Joe. He replied,
" Never naiad, I will sit up for Joe." My mother
and William had not had any quarrel that day.
They generally agreed very well. She was al ways
kind to him, and he generally to her, except that
sometimes he would " sauce" her a little. They had
had no quarrel, but two or three days before I heard
him "sauce" her.
The prisoner was asked if he wished to ask his bro-
ther any questions. He turned quickly round and
exclaimed, sharply .and loudly, "En ?" The question
was repeated, and in the same tone he replied, " No,
I've nothing to ask him."

Joseph Thornaß, brother to prisoner, corroborated
the last witness as to what was said by prisoter when
he came home. He afterwards ailed in some of the
neighbours, and on searching the garden found the
body of his mother two i'eA under ground. •
By the Magistrate—There hart been a difference in
his manner about a week before this occurred. He
seemed to be getting gradually worse. Whenever I
went in lately he or&red me out of the house.
The prisoner (loudly and angrily)—" Thou art a
