gard to the mis-statements in the bill, he thought that
there were certainly inaccuracies, but nut of such
gravity as to pu!,. Mr. Lumley in the po-
sition of losing that right of action. Upon
the whole, therefore, he really thought that this was a
case in which, following the view taken by Lord Cot-
tenham, in Dietrichen v. Cabbet, and following, too, the
view previously taken by Lord Eldon, the Court was
called upon to interfere by;means of an injunction. The
Court would regret if the vi.w which it took should be
found to be erroneous, and injury should be sustained
in consequence by the parties; but he could only say
that ho was bound to act in the matter upon
the view which he took of the law. As to
the arguments which had been based on the view
taken by the common law, he did not think that they
were material. If the contract was a valid contract, and
Madlle Wagner was bound not to act in contravention
of it, any reference to the law of the place where that
contract was entered into, or the mode of proceeding
there, was not necessary. The court found a contract,
and was bound to prevent any violation of it so far as it
could. He, therefore, was of opinion that its plain duty
was to continue the injunction.
Mr. BACON asked that the motion for the dissolution
might be refused with costs.
His HONOUR said he thought he must follow the usual
course in these cases, and make the costs, costs in the
cause. _ _

The court was crowded during the day's proceedings
even more densely than it had been on the two former
days.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
THAMES.

John Bailey, a corn porter, aged 32, who appeared in
a very dejected state, was brought before Mr. Yardley
charged with the wilful murder of Caroline Harris, a
woman with whom he cohabited.
The investigation of this charge, which created a good
deal of interest in a crowded court, was abruptly termi-
nated by the sudden illness of the prisoner, and we give
the facts as they have been elicited upon inquiries made
in the neighbourhood where the fatal occurrence hap-
pened. The prisoner, a man of violent diepotition, had
cohabited with the woman, who was of dissipated habits,
for several years, and he had frequently beaten her.
On one occasion ho was fined for an assault upon her,
and in default of payment committed to prison for
month. On Saturday evening, at five o'clock, the pri-
soner came home after a hard day's work, and found the
woman had gone out some time previous. He went in
search of her, and found her at the Dolphin public-
house, in Cannon-street-road, St. George's-in-the-East, in
company with two other women. She was partially in-
toxicated, and her paramour remonstrated with her and
said her acquaintances would remain by her as long as
she had any money, and when it was all gone she
would come home to him. On their way home to their
dwelling in Devonshire-street, Commercial road, they
were quarrelling, and Bailey made use of some threats
towards her. On reaching home they entered the
house together, and directly afterwards a blow, supposed
to have been inflicted by the prisoner, was heard, and
it was followed by some person falling heavily in the
passage. At the time the blow was given the prisoner
was heard to exclaim, " Take- that." The parties en-
tered their room directly afterwards, the door was
closed, and the woman was heard to fall several times
and to repeatedly call out, " Oh dear ! John ; oh dear."
Everything was quiet for a quarter of an
hour, when Bailey left his room and called to a Mrs.
Knight residing in the same house. Mrs. Knight
asked him what he wanted, and he said, " For God's
sake come down stairs." Mrs. Knight asked him what
he had done, and he said, "My wile is dead." He then
ran out of the house and called upon his next door
neighbour, a Mrs. Rogers, and begged of her to hasten
into his dwelling directly, adding, " I am afraid my old
woman is dead." Mrs. Rogers said, " I hope you have
not been beating her," to which the prisoner replied,
" No; I have only given her a slap of the face." Mrs.
Rogers made an observation that perhaps the woman was
only in a fit, and hastened into the room where she was
lying, and found the deceased with her head against the
wall. Mrs. Rogers lifted her from the floor and ex-
claimed, "Good God! she is dead," and sect for Mr.
Rygate, a surgeon, who found considerable marks of
violence on her person, which appeared to have
been recently inflicted. Mr. Rygate said she
had been dead for some time. Police-sergeant
Willoughby, 32 K, and Collongridge, a constable,
280 K, soon afterwards took the prisoner into custody,
and he said to the officers that when he came home he
found the deceased cut, and sought for her and found
her in a public-house intoxicated, that he brought her
home, and that she fell about the room and hurt herself.
Mr. Rygate conducted a post mortem examination of the
body yesterday. and forwarded the stomach and its con-
tents, about which there was something very peculiar,
to Dr. Letheby, of the London Hospital, for analy xation.
The first witness called before the magistrate was a
young woman named Emma Baker, who stated that she
was living at No. 44, Devonshire-street, Commercial-
road, and that the prisoner and the deceased had been
cohabiting together for some time at the adjoining house,
No. 43. On Saturday evening witness was coming out of
her own house, and saw the prisoner and Caroline Harris
entering their own dwelling. The woman was crying,
and directly she entered the passage witness heard her
knocked down. The prisoner said, " Take that. If any
man or woman interferes with me I'll serve them in the
same way." boon aftewards she saw Caroline llarris
dead.

The prisoner, who became greatly agitated, here said
in a low tone, "I never struck her at all."

Mr. John James Rygate, surgeon and M. 8., of Colet-
place, Commercial-road, said, ho was called into the
house No. 43, Devonshire-street, on Saturday evening,
and found Caroline Harris lying dead on the door. The
left eye was blackened and swollen, and it appeared to
have been recently done. There was another bruise on
the forehead, one on the right side of the cheek, and
one on the chin. All these marks appeared to have been
caused by recent violence. He opeced the body that
morning, and found a very
large quantity of extrava-
sated blood on the base of the brain.
Ia answer to questions by the Magistrate, Mr. Rygate
said he understood the woman was found with her head
bent against the wall. Blows, or falls, or habitual in-
toxication might have produced congestion of the brain.
At this stage of tho proceedings the prisoner turned
pale and trembled excessively. He appeared to be in
fir, and the officers in attendance caught him as he was
falling, and were directed by Mr. Rygate to remove
him from the dock to a cooler place and lay him on
his back. He soon recovered, but did not appear well
enough to be placed in the dock again, and Mr. Yard-
ley remanded him till Wednesday.

THE RAGGED SCHOOLS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUX.
SIR,—Of all the numerous benevolent and valuable
institutions, of which this country, and this metropolis
in particular, can boast, there are few, if any, that
have stronger elaims to the support of the affluent than
those designated by the words at the head of this letter.
But excellent as the plan is, and highly as it redounds to
the credit of its author, the amiable and indefatigable
Earl of Shaftesbury, there are individuals who scruple
to contrieute toward the funds of these schools—not
that they object to the nature or object of the plan itself,
but to the name it bears. I certainly think that a more
appropriate appellation might be found, and one also
more correct; for the boys, as soon as they are admitted
into the schools, however they might have been pre-
viously clothed in rags, are cleanly and decently clad,
and afforded the means of becoming industrious and
useful members of society. So far as I can judge from
my ossn personal experience, they are honest, well-
behaved, and deserving; and last, not least, grateful to
their noble benefactor. But my immediate object for
thus trespassing cn your attention is, to state that lam
acquainted with a charitable and wealthy lady,. who
would readily subscribe to the funds of the schools if the
title of them were changed. lam hardly, at this mo-
ment, prepared myself to suggest any other denomina-
tion; but doubtless some of your numerous readers will
be able to supply that deficiency. Thinking these hints
may be of some service, I am induced to forward them
to you, for the purpose of giving them publicity through
journal.
Since, medium of your extensively circulated
Since, however, the foregoing was in draft, it has oc-
curred to me that one of the following alterations might
be suitable, viz,: " The Destitute Boys' Schools," or
" The Destitute Juvenile Schools."—l am, Sir, &c.,
