TILE BRUTAL MURDER OF A WOMAN
IN MARYLEBOIVE.

Yesterday the Marylebone Police-court was again
crowded to excess in consequence of its having been
generally imagined that some additional witnesses
would have been brought forward against the man Wil-
liam Styles, for the murder of Emma his wife, in Vic-
toria-mews, St. John's Wood, the particulars connected
with which horrid affair have upon more than one occa-
sion appeared at some length in our paper.
At three o'clock the prisoner was brought out from
the lock up room by Mitchell the gaoler, wad placed at
the bar. It will be remembered that since the lest exa-
mination a coroaer's jury had returned a verdict !‘ That
Emma Styles had been brutally and wilfully murdered
by some person or persons unknown."

Mr. Broughton (to Inspector Porter)—Are ycu pre-
pared with any fresh evidence? Inspector—No, Sir,
Broughton—Have you still charge of the clothes
notm ar t. present.
which the prisoner wore when taken into custody for
the murder? Inspector—l have, Sir.
Mr. Broughton—Are they complete as they were
then, or has anything since ,been done to them? In-
spector—They aro not complete now, your worship;
they were shown to Mr. Wakley, the coroner, at the in-
quest, and some portion of the articles, upon which there
were marks imagined to be blood, were cut out. Two
pieci4s were taken from the jacket, and two more from
the trowsers. They were given to Dr. Hassell in order
that he might make a minute and careful examination
thereof as to whether the marks alluded to were human
blood or not.
Mr. Broughton—Dr. Hassell is not here, is he? In-
spector—He is not, Sir.
Mr. Broughton gave directions that a summons should
be issued against the doctor to attend on Monday next,
to which day the prisoner, who declined saying any-
thing, was remanded.
lie was then locked up, and at the closing of the
court was again conveyed to the House of Detention in
the Government van.

TI/E CONFLICT ON BOARD THE QUEEN
OF THE 'VEST AT LIVERPOOL.
In our yesterday's publication we gave the parti-
culars of a sanguinary collision that bad taken place,
on Saturday, on board the Queen of the West, Anae-
rican packet-ship, lying in the river Mersey, as they
had then .transpired; and that the case had been
transferred from Liverpool to Birkenhead, as the ship
was lying within the jurisdiction of the Cheshire ma-
gistrates.
On Monday (yesterday) accordingly, the magis
trates: assembled • within the justices' room, Birken-
head, to hear the charge of mutiny preferred by
Captain Mora against his sailors. The occurrence
has created a great deal of painful interest, and the
justice-room was densely crowded with persons
anxious to heqr the true state of the transaction,
reports of variom colours on the subject prevailing
on both sides of the Mersey since the period of the
affray.
The magistrates present were—Sir Edward Cast,
John Dean Case, De , and John Jackson,
Ten of the sailors were placed in the dock, upon
which,
Mr. Aspinall, barrister, stated that he appeared for
the crew; that he had' a cross-charge against the
captain on the part of the men ; and that he intended
to move for a warrant against the captain.
Mr. Snowball solicitor, appeared for Captain Mors,
and gave an outline of the transactions, concluding
with stating that the captain would be satisfied with
a summary conviction.
Mr. Aspinall objected to so serious a case being
disposed of summarily, but of course he had not the
power of deciding.
Without determining the point, the Bench agreed
to proceed with the evidence, when Mr. Snowball
called on
Captain Mors, who said—l am master of the
Queen of the Wrest, an American vessel, lying in the
river Mersey. On Saturday last had part of crew on
board, when I went ashore to get the Government
agent to clear the passengers. When I came back,
which was between twelve and one o'clock, the mate
was mustering the crew. I told the mate to go below
and look after the passengers, and I would muster the
men. Twenty men answered to their names. I told
the shipping master to go on shore and get six more
hands, which, including the carpenter's mate and an
ordinary seaman, would make 28 of a crew. George
Freeman, one of the crew, then stepped forward and
asked me what I meant by only having 26 men,
when the complement was 30, and swore be would
not go in the ship. I turned coolly to the man and
told him I had gone to sea with less men, and asked
him if he could do more than one man's duty ; to
which he replied "Yes," and that he would have to do
it in this case. I told him to go forward. Ile did
so. On Freeman joining Alexander Jack and Henry
Downes, they all began muttering. I followed the
men to the forerigging to see whether they would go
to work. When I got forward, Freeman said it was
time to get breakfast. I asked him what he wanted
that he did not go to work, and he told me in answer
to go to hell. Thereupon I took hold of him by the
collar, but before I could say a word, all the prisoners,
particularly Freeman, Jack, Downes, and Fowler,
knocked me down with handspikes, belaying-pins,
&c., and when I was down they knocked me on
the head. I managed to 7 get up, and having all the
officers except the mate below, I ran aft to the wheel-
house and got a revolving pistol. I went forward
again, took hold of Freeman, told him he was my
prisoner, and ordered the others to stand back, or I
would shoot them. Upon this, two of them closed in
upon me, and I fired at Jack. The pistol missed
and the men closed upon me again, armed with hand-
spikes, belaying pins, &c., &c., knocking me down
and cutting me severely all over the body. With
that the mate came along with a cutlass, and com-
menced to strike away at the crew. The second
and third mates also came forward and struck at the
men, to enable me to get up. As soon as I got
up I told the mate to give me his cutlass, and to get
another, which he did, and we then cleared the
decks in a very short time. The Government sur-
veyor, Lieutenant Fryer, was on board at the time,
and went on shore in a steam-tug for the police.
Bight of the crew went on shore in the steam-boat,
whom he gave into custody on landing. I then or-
dered the ringleaders to be secured. Downes was so
violent on being brought aft, that the three mates
could not manage him. I was at the time in the
wheel-house getting my head dressed, and I jumped
out and lent them a hand. Downes was 80
