SHERIFFS' COURT,—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. W. BURCHEI.L.)
MACKENZIE V. DELL.
The plaintiff is a licensed vic:ualler, residing in Au-
gusta-street, Regent's-park, and defendant a gentleman
residing in that neighbourhood. The amount claimed
was 681. 11s. 4d., for wines, &c. supplied.
Evidence was adduced to show that the defendant had
been supplied daily with wine, spirits, &c., to the above
amount.
The defendant did not plead, and a verdict was given
for the amount claimed.
MANSELL V. WOOD.
Mr. DUNCAN, who appeared for the defendant, said
tkat unfortunately neither the defendant nor his wife
were able to attend from illness, he therefore should only
make a nominal defence, in order to raise the question
of •costs.
The plaintiff's attorney said that (they could not find
the defendant's place of residence, but his place of busi-
ness was in the City; but the reason they had brought
the action in the superior court, was that the defendant
had been the chief bailiff of the City Court.
A verdict was taken for 181. 195., plaintiff being left to
apply to a judge as to costs.
USHER V. HILL•
Plaintiff is an auctioneer at Bedford, and defendant is
a farmer at the same place.
Mr. DUNCAN stated the case, and called witnesses to
prove that the defendant had purchased a growing crop
of grass at 611. 10s., and paid a deposit of 61.; credit was
given till the 29th of September, but he had not paid
the balance.
The defendant did not appear, and a verdict was given
for the amount.
The other cases were undefended.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(TIIIS DAY.)
OLD COUR7'.
(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.)
THE MARYLEBONE MURDER.

Thomas Bare, aged 43, was indicted for the wilful
murder of Louisa Bare, his wife. The prisoner pleaded
not guilty.
Mr. Bodkin, with whom was Mr. Clerke, cmducted
the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine defended the pri-
soner.

Mr. BODKIN opened the case to the jury, and told
them that the prisoner was charged with the wilful mur-
der of his own wife, committed under circumstances of
great atrocity. It appeared that the prisoner was a pipe
maker, doing a good business, and some years ago he
married the deceased. The marriage, however, was not
a happy one, and ultimately the deceased and the pri-
soner agreed to separate. Knowing the violence of the
prisoner's character, the wife kept her residence a secret,
and again adopted her maiden name, but on the Bth of
November last the prisoner succeeded in tracing her,
and then committed the dreadful offence of which henow
stood charged.
The LEARNED COUNSEL then proceeded to call the
following witnesses:—
Fanny Knott—l live in Rider-street, Grosvenor-
square, and the deceased was my daughter. She was
the wife of the prisoner, and bad been married to him
nearly twenty years. I remember living in Riverie's-
gardens, and I was there about five weeks before my
daughter's death. The prisoner came to my house and
wanted to know where his wife was. I told him I did
Rot know, and he said he would be revenged upon some
one, but ho did not say who.
Cross-examined—I am sure he made use of the term
revenge, because I told him vengeance belonged to the
Lord. This is the first time I have mentioned that.
Sarah Abrahams—l live at No. 5, Brook's-gardens,
Bagnigo Wells, and I know a woman named Hams. In
the month of October last she was lodging at
ray house, and another person, who called her-
self Mrs. Bare, came to live with her. This
was about a fortnight before I heard of the deceased's
death. She stayed there four nights and went away with
Mrs. Hams. My son, who goes by the name of Black-
stone, took their boxes away for them. I recollect the
prisoner afterwards coming to my house to ask for his
wife. He asked if I had a little woman living with me.
I said I had, and likewise a Mrs. Bare. He said Mrs.
Bare was his wife, and he asked if there were two boxes
in the house. I said no, they are gone; but ho wanted
to go up stairs to see, and I refused to let him without a
police authority. He then went away, but he was in
the habit of coming almost every day to see if I know
where his wife had gone. On one occasion he said to
me " I am afraid my wife is going on wrong," and
sooner than see his wile come to the emaciated stew of
his daughter he would die in Newgato for her. He came
to me on Saturday, the Bth of November, and went away
with my son.
pEuEdward Blackstone—l live with my mother, the
last witness, and I recollect Mrs. Hams and Mrs.
Bare living with us. When they left I carried
two boxes for them to Mary lebone, and some
time afterwards, on a Saturday, I took the pri-
soner to the same house. It was about half-past six
On our way we stopped at three public-houses, where
the prisoner had something to drink. We went to a
public-house at the corner of the street where I took the
boxes, but he said it was too open for him to sit in, as
his wife in passing might see him, and not go home. He
arranged that we should go to the house and get posses-
sion of the boxes. He was to take oue and I the other.
We afterwards wont to the house, and saw the landlord,
with whom the prisoner had some conversation. About
half an hour afterwards the woman who had lodged
with my mother came in, and the landlord said," That's
her; don't kick up any disturbance." The woman did
not see the prisoner. The prisoner followed her up
stairs, and in a few minutes he called out, •'My lad,
come and fetch the boxes." I went up stairs, and found
the prisoner and the woman talking together in a back
room. When I got in the prisoner said, " Here, my lad,
you take this box down stairs;" and I did So. As
I was leaving the room the prisoner struck the woman,
and I said to him, " What is the use of
hitting your wife like that?" The prisoner replied, " Oh,
you trouble your bead with your own business." I saw
him hit her two or,: three times on the head before
I left the room. I went down with the box, and as I was
going down I heard the woman call out " Murder !
Murder 1" repeatedly. I put the box down in the par-
lour and went up for the other. As I• e u I
o me, fetch met the prisoner, who said to me, wasteht going; P

room I saw the weneaaway'

against the
grate, and there was blood on herylfngc I took the
other box down and carried it otitsideaineio the street,
but the prisoner was gone. I ran after and overtook
him; ho had blood on his hand, and I said "You come
back, you have killed your wife." He said—" No,
have not, but if I have, you tell
the' policem,_n.” I did
so. During the time I was in the room I didnotsee
the woman strike the prisoner at all.
Cross-examined—l saw the blow struck which made
the woman begin to scream. They were standing opposite
to each other, but I comet recollect what they said.
The woman did not use any, bad language in my
hearing. I did not hear the prisoner saying any thing
about a man named Thompson. The woman was angry
at my taking the boxes away, and said to me, " 0, you
cruel boy, how can you take the boxes away. I know
a man named Thompson. I saw nothing in the pri-
soner's hand. I think I should have seen if ho had a
blade of any sort in his hand. The woman began to
scream out murder after I had left the room. She had
not screamed murder before.
By the JUDGE—When I first entered the room they
appeared to be talking friendly together. The woman
did not strike. _

George Lanney—l live at No. 33, George-street,
Marylehone. I remember the deceased coming to lodge
there. She had been there a fortnight on the very night
this happened, and passed by the name of Knott. I re-
member the prisoner and the last witness coming to my
house on the Bth November. The prisoner asked if
Mrs. Bare was at home? I said I did not know any such
person, and went over the names of my lodgers. I
said there is a Miss Knott who is living here
with Mrs. Hams. He said Knott was my
wife's maiden name, and she had some property
there of his. He added that my daughter had seduced
ilia wife to come and live with her, and he would break
°,,,Pen every door in the house till he found the property.

hey knew anything of Miss Knott, nor was I aware
pk,t he had any property there, but if he would fetch a

Miss Knott was so regular that she was certain to
at nine o'clock. He asked me if I knew that Miss
not%tt and the other were two prostitutes. I said I did
and that they were, but he assured me they were,
tfo.A7ttsed them very much. A few minutes before nine
Tm- -cK Miss Knott came in, and as she passed along the
av;SaSage I placed a lighted candle in the prisoner's hand,
" said to him, " There goes the good woman you
Wallt to see." He followed ber up stairs, and I went
