No. 3, Cazeneau-street, had killed his wife. When the
police officers reached the place the woman was dead, hav-
ing expired only a few minutes before, Johnson, the per-
petrator of the deed, having made his`escape. The body of
the unhappy woman was all covered with wounds and con-
tusions, apparently caused by kicks, or blows from some
bluitt instrument. It appears that the husband, who is a
nimble mason, and, as well as his wife, was of very intem-
perate habits, had been drinking a good deal iu the course
of the afternoon and evening, and that he was drunk. The
wife, it appears, knowing that her husband had a consider-
able portion of his wages in his pocket, wished him to give
her the money. This he refused to du, and soon after fell
asleep. While he slept she abstracted the money from him
and left the house with it, going, it is said, tu a public-
house in the neighbourhood. On her return the husband
awoke, and missing his money demanded it back from her.
She refused, and this led to a quarrel, in which Johnson
struck his wife and knocked her down. He then kicked
her with savage violence all over the body, inflicting
such injuries as rendered Lcr insensible, and he then ran
away. The noise he had made attraci el the attention o
some of the neighbours, who on going into thebonse found
the poor woman lying on the floor. She ws able thosspeisad..
