ALLEGED MURDER OF A WIFE BY
HER HUSBAND.
On Monday, at the Lambeth Police Court, Richard
Pei ry, 54, described as a labourer, residing at No.
22, Broad-street, Lambeth, was charged with having
caused the death of Jane Perry, his wife, by striking
her on the head and body in a frightful manner.
George Mitchell said he lived at No. 22, Broad-
street, Lambeth, in apartments underneath hose oc-
cupied by the prisoner and his wife. They were con-
tinually quarrelling, and the female was almost always
drunk. On Saturday evening last, between eight and
nine o'clock, the prisoner and deceased came home,
apparently very comfortable, and shortly
afterwards the former went out, and was
followed a little while after by his wife.
Some time afterwards the prisoner brought
some coals home, and finding the deceased was out
and bad locked his door he came down stairs, but at
the same time she entered the house. They had
some words about the door being locked, when the
prisoner, who appeared to be sober, went to bed, and
the deceased again went out. She returned at a very
late hour, much intoxicated, when he heard them
quarrelling, and immediately afterwards a heavy fall,
called out
h was
to him eed
tehdat by complete silence. His wife
she
hoped nothing had hap-
pened between Perry and his wife, and immediately
afterwards he heard the prprisonerput on his shoes and
come down stairs, when he called out, " Who's this
succ
lying on the stairs ?" The prisoner then returned to
his room and bronght a light down stairs.
Mr. Elliott—You said you heard the fall in the
prisoner's room ?—Witness replied that he did, but
he did not heir her go down the stairs after that.
He must have heard her if she had, as he could hear
the least thing on the stairs. The prisoner, when he
came down to the landing near the door, called out
to witness to get up, exclaiming that his wife had no
strength in her. Witness got out of bed and assisted
him to carry the deceased up stairs, but he at once
perceived that she was dead, and told the prisoner so.
The latter exclaimed " Good God, you don't mean to
say so !" They then carried her into the room, and
put her on the bed, when he washed her face with
cold water, and sent the prisoner for a doctor. The
police shortly entered the house, and brought one in,
when they pronounced her quite dead.
Sergeant Atler, of the L division, here informed
the magistrate that the place where deceased was
found was 13 stairs lower than the prisoner's room.
Mr. Elliott to Mitchell—Had she fallen down
stairs, must you have heard her ? Mitchell—Yes ; I
was not asleep, and I could have heard a cat walk
down.
Mr. Elliott—Then what you heard was the quar-
relling, and the heavy fall in their room ? Mitchell—
That's all I heard, excepting the prisoner coming
down and calling out, and his afterwards procuring a
light when he roused me up.
Margaret Mitchell, wife of the preceding witness,
corroborated his evidence in every point. The de-
ceased was covered with bruises from head to loins.
Witness heard no sculling on the stairs, the fall took
place in the prisoner's room.
Miller, 136 L, proved being called into the house
between one and two o'clock on the morning of the
occurrence, and found the body of deceased yet
warm, upon which he procured medical attendance.
Sergeant Atler, 4 L, said,
he also went to the
house, when he looked at deceased, and perceived a
deep cut on the left eye, and another one across the
spend all the money.
There having been no medical examination, the
' nose. They were quite fresh. When apprehended
the prisoner told witness that his wife had fallen out
. of bed, and subsequently observed that it was hard
for him to work all the week and then for his wife to
; prisoner was remanded.

JOHNSON'S HOUSE, BOLT-CO
heURT.-Dr. Johnson
been
's
house was burnt down in 1819, t premises having
long previously occupied by the most eminent English printer
of his own or any other time, Mr. Thomas Bensley, to whose
energy the world is indebted for the perfection of the print-
ing machine. The house of Johnson's friend, Mr. Allen,
the printer, was not destroyed by the disastrous fire which
reduced to ashes the Doctor's residence; indeed, only one
corner of it was injured; and, with that exception. it stands
as it was built shortly after the Great Fire of London. Mr.
Allen's house stands at the head of Bolt-court; Dr. John-
son's stood to its left. On the site of the latter was erected,
after the before-mentioned fire, a spacious Printing-office,
and both are now in the occupation of Mr. Tyler.—/Votes

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
THE TRIAL OF CORNELIUS JULIUS TRIPE AND HENRY

GRAHAM MONTAGUE,
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
The Learned RecoupEit summed up the case in a
clear and concise manner. He said, that although the
trial had occupied a very long time, he felt certain
that no one would begrudge that time, for it had un-
doubtedly been a most wholesome inquiry. The dis-
closures that had taken place would no doubt operate
as a caution to persons who were inclined to lend
their capital to establish public companies of this or
any other description to be careful who the parties
were with whom they associated themselves, and it
would also be a caution to their poorer countrymen,
such great numbers of whom were at this moment
anxious to leave our shores in the hope of bettering
their condition in another country, not to be led
away by the inducements of disreputable persons to
part with their money, but to take care to place
themselves in communication either with some agent
of the Government for emigration purposes or
else apply to some responsible party, and that these
were the only modes in which they could carry out
their intention without risk of being defrauded. Some
strong observations had been made by the defendant's
counsel upon the absence of some of the gentlemen
whose names had appeared as directors of this com-
pany, and he must say that, with regard to two of
them, Major Hawkes and Captain Smith, who ap-
peared to have taken an active part in the proceed-
ings, and the former of whom appeared to have
been the first to direct the attention of Mr. Dawson
to the subject of the company, it would have been sa-
tisfactory if they had been called as witnesses on the
present occasion. There was no evidence whatever
to show whether the company was originally projec-
ted by these gentlemen, or whether, in point of
fact, the defendant had originally suggested its for-
mation, and endeavoured to induce them to join
them in carrying it out ; and if either Major Hawkes
or Captain Smith had been examined, that point
would, at all events, have been cleared up.
He must remark, however, that it did not
appear to him to be the duty of the prosecution to
call those gentlemen; and, if their evidence had
been considered really material for the defendants,
it was their duty to have taken the proper
steps to procure their attendance. The Learned Re-
corder then said, that it was not customary to make
observations upon the conduct of a magistrate, but in
the present instance, as a good many remarks had
been made upon the course that was taken by Sir
Robert Carden in connexion with the inquiry at the
Mansion-house, he thought it right to say that it ap-
peared to him that the proceeding of summoning all
the gentlemen who seemed to be connected with the
transaction, with a view to make the necessary inqui-
ries of them, was the best that could be adopted, and
the most likely to enable a magistrate to arrive at the
truth of the matter.
The jury, after deliberating nearly an hour, re-
turned a verdict of Guilty against both the defendants.
There were other indictments of a similar nature
ageing them that were not proceeded with.
Judgment was postponed.
Matthew Hives, 28, was indicted for the man-
slaughter of John Evans.
Mr. RYLAND, who held the depositions by direction
of the Court, said it appeared to him the evidence was
utterly insufficient to support the charge, and he
should therefore, with the sanction of the Court, de-
cline to call the witnesses.
A verdict of Not Guilty was consequently taken.

1311DDLE,SEX SESSIONS, Sept, 21.
Brfore Mr. WITHAM and a Bench of Magistrates, al
the Guildhall, Westminster.)
THE BRIGHTON CARD CHEATING CASE.

------- _
In the course ut the day several of the grand jury
came into Court, and the foreman, addressing the
Learned Chairman, said that they had just had a bill
presented which they felt some difficulty in dealing
with, and they therefore requested that the Court
would give them the assistance of a solicitor, or some
person qualified to explain the nature of it.
Mr. WrrnAm inquired what the bill was about ?
The foreman replied that it was about Broome's
affair.
Mr. METCALFE said that this course was frequently
adopted at the Central Criminal Court, where an
officer of the court always gave such information of
this nature as the grand jury required. The indict-
ment in question charged the defendant with a con-
spiracy to defeat the ends of justice, by keeping out
of the way of the prosecutor and other persons in
connexion with the late trial. He was perfectly clear
from the decision arrived at in the case of Sill the
other day that the prosecutor was victimised, and a
man was not to be crushed because he happened to be
a prizefighter. There had been no bill preferred for
this offence, or against these persons before, either at
this court or the Central Criminal Court. _ .

Mr. WITHAM said that the grand jury must do the
best they could, for he could make no order for as-
sistance to be given. There had been three or four
bills found here before in this case, all of which had
been removed to the Central Criminal Court, or else-
where, and they might have taken this one there
as well.
The Foreman said they could not help that; they
had the bill before them, and really did not under-
stand it. What were they to do ?
Mr. WITHAM said they might do the best they
could. The prosecutor had bad four bills already,
and be might have taken the present one to the Cen-

tral Criminal Court.
Mr. METCALFE must say this appeared to him a
strange proceeding on the part of the Chairman. A
man had a right to go to whatever court he pleased.
A jury had already decided that the prosecutor was
an injured man, and he (Mr. Metcalfe) felt bound to
say that he thought it most improper for the Chairman
to refuse the request of the grand jury, and to cast
reflections on the prosecutor.
The Foreman explained that they only requested
the attendance of a solicitor at the irrvestigation to
know what they were to do. All they wanted was
an explanation of the indictment, which they did not
understand. When a bill was presented to them
which was founded on a committal by
they had the advantage of his judgment in forming
their opinion ; but in this case they had nothing of
the sort, and they therefore asked for the assistance of
a competent person to explain. a magistrate,
Mr. WITHAM said the bill might have been pre-
ferred at the Central Criminal Court, and be could
not comply with their request.
Mr. METCALFE said he should formally apply to
the Court that the solicitor for the prosecution might
attend the grand jury merely to explain the indict-
ment. The grand jury did not require him to remain
or submit the evidence or further guide their opinion.
Mr. WITHAM repeated bis decision.
Mr. METCALFE considered that it was very extra-
ordinary conduct on the part of a judge, when a
grand jury brought a bill into court and said they
did not understand the nature of the offence charged,
and asked for assistance from the Court, that they
should be refused the assistance of the officer of the
court or any other person to give the required infor-
mation ; and the prosecutor be told that he might
have gone to another court. It was throwing an
imputation on the conduct of the prosecutor, who was
a very respectable man. There were days when
judges have told grand juries that they must find a
bill, but those times were now passed by, and should
never be revived.
Mr. WITHAM would not alter his decision.
The Foreman having:said that they should not have
made the request had they not known that such as-
sistance was afforded at the Central Criminal Court,

retired with his brother jurors.
About an hour later they returned into court with
some bills ; among them was one against William
Hamp, William Watkins, and Charles Proberts for
misdemeanour, which was returned ignored.
SECOND COURT.
(Before Mr. Tuatimt.)
Caulfield Percy, aged 26, was indicted for having
stolen a letter and a post-office order for Si., the pro-
perty of John Ayliff.
The prosecutor was a gentleman's servant out of
place, and lived at a coffee-shop in Dean-street,
Soho, where the prisoner also lodged. According to
the prisoner's statement, he was the prosecutor's ad-
viser, amanuensis, and confidential man, and it ap-
peared that he was aware that the prosecutor was ex-
pecting a remittance of Si. from his brother-in-law,
who lived near Richmond in Yorkshire, and conse-
quently he kept a bright look out for the postman.
One morning the expected letter was delivered, and
the prisoner, who was waiting to receive it, took it
and feigned to carry it upstairs to the prosecutor.
The prosecutor never received it, but on the same day
the order was presented at the office in Broad-street,
Bloomsbury, signed " John Ayliff," and as that was
the name contained in the letter of advice, it was
paid to the person presenting it. The clerk could
not say that the prisoner was the individual who re-
ceived the money, but the inference as that he had
stolen the letter and forged the proswecutor's name to
the order.
The prisoner, about whom there seemed a great
deal of plausibility and cunning, made a long defence,
in the course of which he said that the prosecutor
was concerned in racing matters with a " sporting
prophet" who was in the service of the Marquis of
Salisbury. He denied having had the letter.
At the request of the jury, the witness who proved
that the prisoner took up the letter was rr2called.—He
swore that the postman called out-, " A letter for

The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and
Mr. TURNER sentenced him to nine months' impri-
sonment with hard labour.
Francis Isaacs was convicted of having unlawfully
entered the dwelling-hous.e of Maria Andrews, a

widow, at 105, Glocester-place, Marylebone, with
inf.ect to steed certain goods therefrom.
The prisoner, it appeared, was sentenced to ten
years' transportation in 1847, but was liberated after
a period of imprisonment in the Penitentiary. He
WM a well known thief.
Mr. TURNER sentenced him to two years' imprison-
ment with hard hbour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Edward Tomlinson and George Tomlinson were
charged with having committed a daring street rob-
bery.
Mr. Philip Now, No. 18, Seymour-street, Easton-
square, said, about 1 o'clock on Monday morning he
was passing through great Tichfield-street, when the
prisoners came up and walked by his side. He had
not proceeded very far before he was suddenly seized
by one of the men, whom he strongly believed to be
George Tomlinson, who held him tightly round the
waist while the other man, who he also believed was
the other prisoner, robbed him of his gold watch and
guard and then ran off. Prosecutor pursued, and
saw the prisoner Edward Tomlinson pass something
to the other prisoner. The prisoner Edward Tomlin-
son, seeing that he was pursued, turned round and
struck bias a blow which prevented him from con-
tinuing the pursuit, by which means the prisoner
who had the watch escaped. The prisoner who struck
him said to him, " We ain't going to rob you, but if
you want a poke give it to you." Prosecutor
called for the police, and gave the prisoner Edward
Tomlinson into custody. When the prisoner was
searched a pocket handkerchief was found in his pos-
session which had been stolen from him.
Police constable Langhatn, E 268, heard the cry
of " Police," and on proceeding to the spot found the
prosecutor and the prisoner Edward Tomlinson to-
gether. The prosecutor charged the prisoner with
stealing his watch and guard. The prisoner replied,
" You can charge me if you like, but the man who
stole your watch has run off." Witness took the
prisoner to the station-house, and on searching him
found a silk handkerchief secreted between his shirt
and the waistband of his trousers, which was owned
by the prosecutor.
A witness named Tozer said he saw two men
walking on each side of the prosecutor, and he heard
one say, "We do not want to rob you, but if you
want a poke I'll give it to you." The prisoners re-
sembled the two men. In a few minutes he heard
the cry of "Police," and saw one of the men running
away.
Police-constable Langham said he afterwards took
the prisoner George Tomlinson into custody on a
charge of assisting to rob the prosecutor of his watch.
The prisoner denied the charge, but admitted he was
with his brother in Great Titchfield-street between
twelve and one o'clock on the Monday morning.
The prisoners were fully committed for trial.
MARYLEBONE.
Ellen Manning, a married woman, was brought up
from the infirmary of Marylebone Workhouse before
Mr..Broughton, charged with having attempted to
commit suicide by swallowing a quantity of oil of
hitter almonds.
George Kitchen, a youth living with his father, a
greengrocer, High-street, Marylebone, said that about
noon on the 9th of September he was in Northum-
berland-street, New-road, when, on passing the de-
fendant, he heard her exclaim, " I have got something
in my hand which will do for me." She then put a
bottle to her mouth, which he endeavoured to seize
hold of, but he was unsuccessful, and she drank the
whole of the contents. She flung the bottle into the
road, end almost instantly fell on the step of a
door. He celled a policeman, who went to her
assistance.

Policeman Beck, 290 D, produced an ounce phial,
which had on it a label with the name of " Gallerd,
30, Lisson-grove,—Poison." He stated that he found
the defendant insensible, and that he took her to the
infirmary of Marylebone Workhouse, where she was
immediately attended to.
Mr. BROUGHTON inquired if the stomach-pump or
an emetic was applied ?—Mr. Messer, relieving-
officer of the parish, who accompanied defendant to
the court, replied in the negative, and stated that a
new process was used, by means of galvanism, when
she was found to have taken oil of bitter almonds.
Mr. BaouoseroN—What! from a galvanic bat-
tery ? Mr. Messer—Yes, Sir.
Ms. BROUGHTON—III what way does it act ? Did
it causes her to vomit? Mr. Messer—lt causes the
stomach to resume its muscular action, when the pa-
tient vomits the whole of the poison. It is considered
a more efficacious application than the stomach-pump.
It was the first time it had been used at the infirmary.
Mr. BROUGHTON—L it a painful operation ? Mr.
Messer—No, Sir. It produces a slight shock to the
system.
Mr. BROUGHTON—How long was it before the bat-
tery was applied after her admission ? Mr. Messer—
Immediately. When brought in sho was in a state of
paralysis, and she would have died but for the prompt
attention of the two medical officers, who succeeded
in restoring her to consciousness.
The defendant stated that she swallowed sixpenny
worth of the oil of bitter almonds.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Why did you take the poison ?
Defendant stated that she did not live with her hus-
band, who allowed her 10s. a-week. She met him in
Hanover-square last Friday three weeks, when she
wanted him to supply her with some furniture, which
he declined to do. They had then some altercation,
and she had been unhappy in her mind ever since,
when she determined to destroy herself. The doctors
were very kind to her.
Mr. Messer said the defendant's husband was a
tailor, and had a salary of four guineas a week.
The brother of the defendant agreed to take her to
his house and she was discharged.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Elizabeth Hastings and James Jackson, the former
a woman of notorious character, were charged with
assault and robbery.
A person named Sullivan was proceeding on his
way home through Commercial-street, Whitechapel,
at a late hour on the preceding night, when he was
accosted by the female prisoner, who forced her con-
versation upon him, and ultimately induced him to
see her to her lodgings. These were in a house of a
very infamous description, in a place called George-
yard ; and the prosecutor had been no sooner shown
into a parlour than the woman attempted to rob
him. This proceeding he resisted as well as he
could, and tried to push her away from him, but she
immediately placed her back firmly against the door,
grasped him tightly by the hair of his head, and, a
violent struggle ensuing between them, in the course
of which the prosecutor made vigorous efforts to re-
lease himself from her clutches and escape from the
place, the woman, on seeing that he was likely to
do 50, partially opened the door, and shouted out
" Barney, Barney," as loud as she could. This
signal was immediately answered by the door being
burst in and the sudden appearance of the male pri-
soner, who, without uttering a word to the prose-
cutor, dealt him such a heavy blow on the side of his
head that, notwithstanding his female confederate
still retained her grasp of the prosecutor's hair, he in-
stantly dropped to the floor. Both prisoners then rifled
his pockets of all the money he had about him and rushed
upstairs, and the prosecutor, upon recovering his feet
and scattered senses, made the best of his way to the
street door, upon reaching which he called lustily for
the police, and never left off until a constable made
his appearance. Both then re-entered the house to-
gether, and upon examining one of the upper rooms
discovered the two prisoners, who were at once given
in charge. The male prisoner was then questioned
as to what money he had about him, and replied that
he had only Bs., which he had received at the docks,
in his fob, but upon searching his pockets a quantity
of loose silver was found in one of them, the coins of
which exactly tallied with those the prosecutor had
been robbed of, and they were both thereupon trans-
ferred to the station.
When called upon for their defence the male pri-
soner protested his innocence, declaring that he only
pushed the prosecutor away from his confederate, but
had not struok him ; and the woman having denied
all participation in the robbery, and alleged that the
prosecutor had first struck her violently without the
slightest provocation and then flung her heavily over
the fender, but both which statements the prosecutor
assured the magistrate were without the slightest
foundation.
Mr. D'EYNCOURT ordered the depositions to be
taken, and they were each fully committed to New-
gate for trial.
