MARLBOROUGH-MEET.

THE OYSTER G 011101 A ND,—/i. Banda, the fellow'
who a short time since wets taken to Union-hall,
and charged with demolishing seven or eight dozen
oysters, eleven pets of butter, and about two pounds
of bread, without having the means of defraying the
espence of the same, was yesterday- brought before
the Sitting Magistrate at this offiee, for practising his
favourite trade at the shop ,of Mr. Rouse, fish-
monger, Vigo-lane, This fellow, it would appear,
has such a hankering after shell-fish that imprison-
ment has not the least effect in appeasing his vora-
cious cravings, for on the night of the 21st ult. he
was brought before the Inspector at St. James's
watch-house, under similar circumstances to the
above, hut on that occasion he was discharged. The
following evening, however, he was again c•loveyed
to the mune watch-house, for devouring a number of
" fat oysters," and endeavouring to give the shop-
keeper " the slip" without paying, and the Inspector
judging him to be nothing more nor less than one of
those coming under the denomination of a vagrant,
conveyed him before the Magistratesat Marlborough-
street,who perfectly coinciding in the opinion the In-
specterbad formed of the defendant, ordered him to
be imprisoned as such. On Friday his term of " du-
ranee vile" expired, but not with. it this gourmand's
propensities, kr on the following day he took the op-
portuniti of entering the above mentioned shop while
Miss House was engaged, and to prevent her discover-
ing his shorn and tattered appearance seated himself,
with his back to the door. 116 then called for a
doien of the best "ay sters in the shop, which Were
no sooner placed before him than they disappeared
in a twinkling, it being so long since he had tasted
the delieions delicacy that he did not even wait to
give them an additional zest with pepper or vinegar.
Two half-dozens were shortly lidded to the others,
and it was not till then that Mr. Dando found out
that some mill and butter would not' be amiss to eat
with the oysters ; but on asking for the same he was
informed that there were not any in the house. To
this the oyster-eater expressed great surprise that
gentlemen could not be accommodated as they
wished, and suiting the action to the word, he lifted
his arm rather too high. in expressing his disappoint-
ment, for, from under his'arm-pit shone a portion of
Hai-linen—which being perceived by the young lady
in the shop, she took the first Opportunity of asking
for the money, when, to her great surprize, her cus-
tomer exclaimed, " Lord, bless you, I've not got any
money," and was about making a retreat, but the
brother of Miss Rouse opportunely coming in, the
devourer of:oysters was captured, conveyed to the
watch-house, and in the morning brought to the
above office, After hearing the case, the Magistrate
ordered the defendant to find bail, in default of which
he was. committed to prison.

Wakley

Majority for Mr. Thal er ...... 392

Mr. BAKER- Sto-041, forward, and expressed thanks
for the support of his friends. His opponent, had

Representative, he concluded by calling for a chew
of hands for Mr. Wakley, and several hands were
held up. The orator then called for three cheers for
Wakley, which were also given-. The proceedings
‘veFtl then 'adjourned.

EXTRAORDINARY DEATH OF A LADY.

On Stuiday afternoon a Coroner's inquest %vas
held before Mr. STIRLING, at the Hand and Floweir,
Hammersmith, to inquire into the circumstances at-
tendant on the death of Miss Mary Trencher, who
was discovered, not dead, but in a lifeless state, on
the pavement, at the back of her mothet's residence,
No, 7, Vale-place, Hammersmith, as early as half-
past five o'clock on Saturday morning. The affair
created an extraordinary sensation, in consequence of
the state of the mothei's mind, and the manner in
which they have liyed for the last sixteen or twenty
years in the above-mentioned residence. It is a
large and respectable house; but owing to the way-
ward state of the mother's mind, there was never
any resident fervent. There was an occasional as-
cistern, and that assistant was allowed only very
limited views and liberties about the house. This
peculiarity on.the part of the old lady was confirmed,
as well, perhaps, by the pecoliar state of her mind
as by the fact of her house having been entered,
about sixteen years ago, by four burglars, two of
whom were taken and afterwards hanged. She
never had the windows cleaned ; the shutters were
seldom opened ; and the whole house looked as if,
though there were blinds, that the family had quitted
it for many years. This was done avowedly for the
purpose of keeping away the thieves, or of inducing
them to believe the house
,was not worth robbing.
The next peculiarity was the old lady's treatment of
the daughter. From a real or imaginary idea that,
some twenty years ago, a lover was about to carry
off the damsel, the mother ever after subjected the
daughter to the most rigorous treatment—such as
locking her in her bed-room, seldom allowing her
to go out, and never permitting her to have any
self-controul ; and the daughter, though upwards of
forty years of age at the time of her melancholy
death, had so grown to this system, strengthened
by invariable and most affectionate attention towards
her mother, that she suffered herself to be nightly
locked in her bed-room by her parent, the daughter
bolting the door inside. .9n, Saturday morning, as
early as half-past five o'clock, the servant at the
next house heard what, in the evidence, she termed
a "rushing noise, and then a scream." She there.
upon looked out of her window, and saw -Miss
Treacher stretched on the pavement, at the back of
the house. She immediately alarmed her mistress;
(to proceed with the evidence) who desired her to
go and alarm the policemen. When she first saw
Mks Trencher, • who was merely in her night-dress,
she was lying with her face towards the pave- •
meet : on looking again, the body was turned
on its side; but afterwards it never moved.
Dr. Bowling stated that, on Tuesday last, Miss
Trencher Kent for him to come and see Mrs.
Trencher; and he added that he found the old lady
in a state of mental derangement. He then pre-
vailed on Miss T. to have some one to assist her in
attending on her parent. He consequently sent a
nurse. On Wednesday Miss sent to Dr. B. to
say that her mother sins better, that she wits much
more tranquil than on preceding days, and begged of
him not to come again, as the ringing of the bell
would disturb her mother and make her wonder who
was coming. She added that her mother was then
perfectly sensible.—The 'nurse confirmed Dr. B.'s
evidence, and said that on Tuesday she found MN.
Trencher in a state of great excitement. She re-
mained with her all night. Mrs. Treacher wandered
about the rooms all night. At five o'clock on Wed-
nesday morning she was obliged to go to Miss 'f.'s
room. :Miss. T. then appeared to be Considerably
refreshed from the night's sleep; and, in the course
of Wednesday, Mrs. T. appeared to be much better.
Miss T. afterwards proposed to the nurse that she
should withdraw, if only to a neighbouring bottle, as
her presence, if observed by Mrs. Trencher,
would make her worse, and more irritable—such
was the old lady's dislike to, have any stranger
about the house. The daughter wished her to stay
in the neighbourhood (at a Mr. Demotes), and par-
ticularly.to be ready on Saturday, morning, in case
she should be wunted. She ;came on Saturday
• morning, but then found her young mktress quite
dead. Mr. Perkins spoke to the finding of the
body, and to the breaking into the house. The body,
it appeared, had hardly a perfect joint-s-arms, legs,
thigh, wrist, uncles, ribp—all were broken or dislo-
cated by the fall. The full was from the three pair
of stairs back window' 'which is diiectly over the
mother's bed-room. From a knowledge of the
daughter's anxieties and habits, it was inferred that
bearing the mother move about in the room under-
neath, and 'without the ability to get out of her
room to go down stairs till her mother chose to un-
lock the door, she had leaned out of the window
(to see what her mother might be about), till she
lost her balance, and consequently fell. The window
of the attic-room, in which the daughter slept, is a
very low
,one, while the young lady was corpulent,
and sir feet two inches high ! After much conside-
ration the Jury returned u verdict of " .Accidental
death." It is mentioned thnt the mother even now
is not aware of her daughter's death.

A sailor in one of the transport-ships at Cove,
bound to New South Wales, was drowned on Tuesday in
that harbour; he bad been refused to allow his wife to
accompany him on the voyage, and resolved to desert the
vessel by swimming to the shore, in the attempt of which
he perished within 21 yards of the beach, in presence of
his wife, who had been waiting for him with a supply of
dry clothes.

MURDER OF A WOMAN BY NPR 111/8-
BANN—The neighbourhood of Park-street, Poplar, was,
during the whole of yesterday morning, in a state of great
excitement by the report of a, most cruel murder having
*been committed by Itltctiazt, 111‘Caarr, an Irish la-
bourer, employed at the' West India Docks, on his wife.
It appeared that on Sattrdity tight MiCanTv beat his
wife in the most cruel manner. He was observed by_ a
person, while ill-using her, after he had knocked her down
with his clenched fist, to kick her in the lower part of
person. She was, however, at the time, wrested from
his savage vengeance. No further, quarrel was heard at,
Saturday night or duringlhe whole ofSunday. Yoder-
day-morning, after lil`Caterr had gene out at his usual
hoar, a female, who lodges in the same house with him,
was told by Mrs. Ill'enatv's son that his mother was
'dead. The poor woman was found in the kitchen, on a
heap of rags, quite dead. An alarm was instantly given,
'and the policemen sin the neighbourhood, apprised of the
`circumstance, instantly went in pursuit of M'C&arv. It
,was at first imagined that he had absconied, but between
twelie and one o'clock they succeeded in taking him at his
,work in the Docks, apparently as unconcerned as if no-
thing had happened. It is supposed that the prisoner, not
satisfied with the savage treatment of the unfortunate
woman en Saturday night, had subsequently, strangled her.
The 'priaotiei was sent to prison till the Coroner's Inquest
,has been beld.-
