The Abduction and Murder in Islington.

CLERKENWELL POLICE COURT.

The further hearing of the evidence against the prisoner,
William Henry Clarke, who stands charged with the wilful
murder of the child Elizabeth Hunter, was proceeded with
to-day before Mr. Barker.

Mr. Dickie defended the prisoner; and Mr. Humphrey
attended for Mr. Rowe, one of the witnesses in the case, in
whose nursery the bones of the unfortunate child was found.
Mr, Barker said Mr. Rowe was there merely as a witness.
Inspector Williamson—We intend to put that person in
the box again, as he can now speak to an important fact.
Mr. Rowe then said—Since I was here last, from an
entry I have found in a day-book in my own handwriting
I can state positively that it was the night of the 30th of
March, 1862, that the prisoner was out of my house all
night.
Mr. Barker—You mean that he did not sleep in the house
all night ?

Mr. Rowe—That is so,
Mr. Dickie— You produce the book ?

Witness—Yes.

The book was then put in, and from certain entries for
purch,,sing plants, he said he was quite certain the prisoner
was not at home that night.
By Mr. Vickie —I never said to Os prisoner's mother I
couid not recollect the circumstance.

Mr. Barker—Do you recollect speaking to the prisoner
about his being absent ?
Witness— Yes, I told him I should not be able to keep
him in my employ. I went to bed about ten o'clock at
night. I told him when he went out that particular day,
that if he was not at home by ten at night he would be
locked out. I heard his voice in the passage about twelve
o'cl ck the same night, but I do not know what was said,
Miss Jennings will be able to speak about that.
Mr. Dickie asked Mr. Rowe whether, when he resided
at Truro, he did not go by another name than Rowe.
The witness said that was so, but he declined to state
anything further than that there was an accusation against
him, but that it was dismissed, and the party making it
was thought gully of p.:-rjury.
Charlotte Jennings, of 5, Oxford-street, Islington, said—
I recollect on a Sunday night in March, 1862, Mr. Rowe
ordered the prisoner to be in at ten o'clock at night. He
did not return as ordered, but came about half-past
eleven, and then Mr. Rowe had lock, d him out. I
let him into the passage, and on going to Mr. Rowe's bed-
room-door he felt the handle, and said, " He's locked rue
out, so I must go." I locked the street door when he left.
On that night he wore a very dark brown coat, with
pockets each side, black and white speckled trowsers, with
a black stripe up the leg, and a turban, or po, k• pie hat,
with two black strings. The prisoner left Mr. Rowe's ser •
vice two or three Sundays after that, He went away
the Saturday previous to Easter Sunday. When I
spoke to him the morning after I had locked him
out he said, " I slept all night in the green-house as it was
too late to go home to my mo hers." Mr. Rowe had been
ill for some time, and the rea.on I know he was at home
was that he Level went out for fear of the night air.

By Mr. Dickie—l recollect the clothes partly because I
was azked how I liked them when he had them new.
Prisoner—Did you not see the hat with the strings off?
Witness—No. I will swear I never saw you wear the hat
without the black strings.

Inspector Williamson said that is all the evidence I have
to offer to day, and I therefore ask for another remand.
Mr. Dickie—l think the police have had plenty of time
plete this case against the prisoner, and I object to
such
course.

Mrs. Clarke, the mother of the prisoner, said I recollect
seeing my son on Sunday night, in March. He left about
a quarter before 11, and returned a,short time atter, and said
Mr. Rowe had locked him out. I made up a bed for him,
passed the night at home. I never noticed anything
_
about hutehis clothes.

Mr. Dickie—You swear to that?
Witness—l do.
Mr. Barker—Did you not state to the constable that you
did not recollect the mouth when ti,is took place ?
Witness—The date, but, not the month.
jra Mason gave evidence relative to Mr, Rowe's garden
gate being left continually open.
Mr. Dickie again said he did not think there was suffi-
cient evidence to remand the lad.
Mr. Barker replied he should not be justified in taking
any other course than remanding the prisoner until to-
morrow week at 2 o'clock, and in such a case as the present,
it was most important that some legal gentleman should
attend and conduct the prosecution, especigily as Govern-
ment had offered a reward of £lOO for the discovery of the
murderer of the child.
Mr. Dickie—Will your worship take bail ?

Mr. Barker—Oh no, certainly not.
Prisoner—l don't get justice. I thought being a poor
lad I should, but I don't I've been locked up tor a long
while, and for nothing. I say there is no evidence against
me, and I ought to be let go, or else you ought to take bail

Death of the Duke of Hamilton.

By a telegraphic despatch received from Paris we
learn that his Grace the Duke of Hamilton died at

the Hotel Bristol, in that city, at noon yesterday.
His grace had left England for Paris, en route for
Baden, and was suddenly taken ill at the hotel men-
tioned, the disease being congestion of the brain.
His grace's family were sent for, and the Empress

of the French paid the husband of the Emperor's

cousin fissiduous attention till his death. So sudden

and premature a death will excite profound emc-
tions of regret both in Great Britain and in France,
his grace having been as well known in the latter
country as in his own.
The deceased r'uke, William Anthony Archibald
Douglas Hamilton, was born on the 18th February,
1811. He was the only son of Alexander, tenth
Duke of II F.R.S., by Susan Eu-
phemia, neughter of Mr.Wm.Beckford, of Fonthill,
M.P. He married on 23-1 of February, 1843, the
Princess Marie Amelie of Baden, youngest
daughter of Charles Louis Frederic, reigning
Grand Duke of Baden, by the Countess de Beau-
harnais—the adopted daughter of the Emperor
Napoleon and niece of the Empress Josephine—by
whom he leaves issue two sons and a daughter, the
eldest son and heir, William Alexander Louis
Stephen, Marquis of Douglas, having been born on
the 12th of March, 1845.
In his own person the late Duke of Hamilton
combined the dukedoms of Hamilton and Brandon,
besides independent marquisates and earldoms con-

'erred at different times. He was Earl of Angus

(1327), Lord Hamilton (1445), Earl of Arran (1503),
Mat quis of Hamilton (1599), Marquis of Douglas,
Lord Abernethy, and Lord Jedburgh Fort st (1633),
Earl of Lanark, Lord Avon, Lord Polmort, Lord
Machanshire, and Lord Innerdale, (1643), all in
the peerage of Scotland, Duke of Brandon, in
Suffolk, and Baron Dut►on of Dutton, in Cheshire
(1711). He was the Premier Peer of Scotland,
Lord-Lieutenant of Lanarkshire, Hereditary Keeper
of Holyrcod Palace, Colonel of the Lanarkshire
Militia, and Knight Marischal of Scotland. The

owner of such prircely seats as Hamilton in La-
narkshire, Kinniel in Liolithgow3hire, Brodick in
►he Isle of Arran, Ashton in Lancashire, and Easton
in Suffolk, could not be other than a foremost man
in a social and political point of view.
The Doke of Hamilton's father was a Whig of
the old school, and probably one of the haughtiest

men of his day. He cherished an idea that he was
the legitimate King of Scotland, penurious and
miserly as ho was; and at his death, in 1852, his
body was Embalmed and deposited in a sarcophagus
brought from the pyramids of Egypt. Tne late
duke graduated at Christ Church, Oxford, in 1832.
He never sat in the Lower House of Parliament,
and, s hen a member of the Upper House never took
any part in the debates, if ivaeed he ever voted at
all. From his foreign connection he preferred to re-
side almost entirely abroad, and except for a month
during the shooting season, at Brodick Castle, he
lived chiefly at Paris and at Baden. He was a ron-

servative in his views; and in Lanarkshire his
tenantry were always urged to support the Conser-
vative interest, but personally his Grace never took
the smallest interest in the politics of either Eng-
land or Scotland. Through his wife's connection
with the Emperor Napoleon he was always a wel-
come guest at the Tuileries; and, though a Protes-
tant, he caused much joy among the supporters of
the Pope's temuoral power a few Peers ago, by de-
voutly kissing the Holy Father's foot, and at the
same time placing on it a purse containing notes of
the value of several thousand pounds.

The history of this illustrious family is curious
from its various ramifications. There was a Sir
William de Hameldon, a younger son of Robert
de Belloment, third Earl of Leicester; and his

son, G►lbert, for praising the valour of Robert
Bruce, received a blow from John de Spencer,
which he returned, whereupon he bad to fly for his

life, and hid himself and his servant in a wood in
the disguise of labourers. When the pursuers came
up to them the two were sawing an oak; Hamilton
said "'Through," and deshed across the forest, and
his descendants have always since taken en oak tree
with a saw in it as their crest, and the word

" Through " for their motto. The eldest son of Sir
Gilbert Hamilton swore fealty to Edward I. in 1292.
Tne second earl was regent of Scotland on the death
of James V. (1542), and heir presumptive to the
crfmn ; and in 1549 he was created Duke of Chatel-
herault, in Poitou--a title which, by-the-by, was
borne by his descendants, the duites of Hamilton,
until the last few years, when a Chancery suit decided
that it belonged of right to the Marquis of Abercorn.
The fourth earl was created Marquis of Hamilton,
and his son Earl of Cambridge and Baron lnverdale.
In 1633 the son of the latter was created Marquis
of Clydesdale, and ten years afterwards Duke of
Hamilton. The first duke was beheaded in 1649,
and the second found himself left penniless, his
estate being forfeited, and his title passed to Lady
Anne Hamilton, his niece, who married the eldest
son of the Marquis of Douglas, and obtained for
him the Dukedom of Hamilton, and for his second
son the Earldom of Selkirk.

In 1711 the English Dukedom of Brandon and
Barony of Dutton were conferred on the Duke of
1-I+milton ; but it wes decided by the House of
Lords that by the 23d Article of the Union no peer
of Scotland conic' be created a peer of England.
Tee sixth Duke of Hamilton married one of the
beautiful Misses Gunning, whom
Horace Walpole
so repeatedly mentions in his letters, and his son
succeeded to the Marquisate of Dougle.a and the
Earldom of Angus, in 1761, by the death of
the Duke of Douglas, not without a struggle.
Toe " great Douglas case" was the most exciting
effair in England, and indeed in Europe, for many
years. Dr. Johnson vehemently espoused one side ;
Boswell was the advocate on the other. The
" princely Douglases," as Swift called them, had
been long at the head of a baronial family in Lanark-
shire. There was " the good Sir James," " the
flower of chivalry," and the friend of Bruce, who
was slein on his pilgrimage to the Holy Sepulchre,
whither he bad travelled to deposit Bruce's heart.
The Earldom of Douglas was conferred in 1350.
The fourth earl was created Duke of Touraine by
Charles VII. King of France. The first earl rebelled
against his sovereign and died, a pensioned monk,
in the Abbey of Lindores, when his title passed to
the son of William, first Earl of Douglas, by the
Countess cf Angus. The fifth Earl of Angus was the
famous " Archibald Bell-the-Cat," the hero of a
well-known story. He was the "great ear)." The
sixth earl married the Princess Margaret, widow of
James IV., King of Scotland, and by her had a
daughter, who was mother of Henry Darnley, King
Consort of Scotland, and father of James I. of Eng
land. The eldest son (by the second marriage) of the
eleventh earl, w ho was created Marquis of Douglas
in 1633, married the Duchess of Hamilton. The third
marquis, who was in 1703 created Duke of Douglas,
was the hero of the " great Douglas case," in so far
as he left his sister, Lady Jane, the heiress of his
vast estates, to starve in his lifetime, and to die in
a garret, leaving a son by her husband (Colonel Sir
John Stewart, of Grandtully), whom he on his death-
bed declared his next tar, le heir, Boswell was for
Young Douglas, and he was successful in the House
of Lords against the Duke of Hamilton, who ob-
tained the Marquieate of Douglas and Earldom of
Angus by his death, but not the estates.
In 1782 the eighth Duke of Hamilton again broaght
forward his claim to a seat in the House of Lords
as the Duke of Brandon, and he was in that year
summoned to the house by that title.
The late duke, whose death we record this day,
leaves issue, besides the son and heir, born in 1845,
a son—Lord Charles George Archibald Hamilton—
born in May, 1847, and a daughter—Lady Mary
Victoria. The present duke was for a short time at
Eton, but, like his parents, has mostly spent his
life abroad.

THE COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUT. CUL. CRAWLEY.
—The United Service Gazette announces "that Chelsea,
not Chatham, will most probably be the locus in quo. A
great deal of extra expense would be entailed by having it
take place at Chatham, and besides, the public mind, now
morbidly suspicious of everything that i 3 done in connection
wig h this unhappy affair, would be apt to imagine that some
final mischief was intended in removing the investigation
to Chatham, where the action of public opinion would bo
much less direct on all concerned than it would, bo •up-
posing the trial to be carried on in the atetropolia.
