This was an action to recover for a watch and guard. On
the part of the plaintiff three witnesses swore that the pro-
perty was sold to the defendant, who is a metropolitan
police constable, and these witnesses detailed to the court
minute facts in connection with the transaction.

Defendant swore that the watch was sold to his brother,
who had paid 10s., and only declined to pay the balance
because the plaintiff refused to alter the watch.
Plaintiff--You paid the 10s. and received the watch, and
called three or four times about it,

Defendant—My brother paid the 10s. and received the
watch, and I have only been in your place once in my life.
After hearing the brother, his honour (Mr. Wheeler) said,
" I find for plaintiff."
Defendant—l have a wife and four children ; will you
grant me time ?

His Honour (most impressively)—l regret to find that
such instances of hard swearing as I have witnessed from
police-constables should exist. It was only the other day,
in this very court, that a police-constable committed
gross and deliberate perjury, and I was obliged to caution—
ay, threaten to commit—him before I could bring him to a
sense of the obligations of an oath. lam not satisfied to-
day with defendant's case ; and I tremble to think that;the
liberties of the inhabitants of this great metropolis should,
perhaps, be intrusted to men who so loosely weigh the ob-
ligations imposed by the oath. It is painful to be compelled
to make these observations, but the oath is solemn and
serious upon all men, but particularly so to police .officers,
who have in their hands the lives and liberties of the sub-
jects of this land. (A loud burst of applause followed these
remarks, but it was speedily repressed by direction of his
Honour.)

POLICE---THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH •STREET, THIS DAY,

A WIFE BEATING RUFFIAN COMMITTED FOR THE
FULL TERM.—Thomas Coles, a carpenter, of 14, Newport-
court, was charged with the following ruffianly assault on
his wife, Martha Coles, the prisoner being brought up on
a remand.

•vopcvLaUle
day evening her husband came home and complained be-
cause his supper was not ready, the reason being that she
had been washing all day. He then knocked her down
twice, and a person interfered, and as soon as she left the
prisoner again knocked her down, and then kicked her in
the breast.

The landlady of the house said, hearing screams of
" murder," she went upstairs, and saw Mrs. Coles rising,
with her eye much inflamed. She told the prisoner it was
cruel of him, as his wife had been washing all day. After
she had left the room a short time she heard screams again,
and a heavy fall overhead, and on again going upstairs she
saw the prisoner kick his wife in the back. She called him
a brute, and he then struck her (witness) in the face. She
did not think the prisoner was sober. She kept up all
night, and prisoner's son said that his father had threat-
ened to kill him if he did not keep quiet.

Gordon, 336 A, said he bad long known Mrs. Coles as a
respectable woman, and the prisoner was constantly ill-
using her.
George Hatchard Welsh, office-keeper, said he had
known the parties frr eight years, and the prisoner had
been charged several times for assaults on his wife, who,
being a respectable woman, had been several times assisted
by the court. He also believed the prisoner had beeen corn •
milted at the Lambeth Police-court for the same offence.

The prisoner, in a rambling defence, said the female was
not his wife, as she had a husband alive when he married
her.

Mr. Knox said a glans() at the prisoner would tell any
one what he was. He believed all he had said in his de-
fence was a tissue of lies. The only thing he could do for
the woman was to get her free from the prisoner for six
months' with hard labour.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THROUGH INTEMPERINCE.—
Rebecca Kinghorn, of 1, Cross-street, needtevioman, was
charged before Mr. Knox with attempting to commit sui
cide. _ _ _

The defendant had been drinking for some days, and while
labouring under its effects took a quantity of laudanum.
Information was given of the fact by a young woman named
Eliza Rolysh, and Mr. M'Oscar, of Tyler-street, was sent
for and the defendant afterwards taken to the Middlesex
Hospital.

Mr. Knox said he did not consider himself justified in
letting her go after sh 9 had attempted to take her life, which
was as bad as taking that of another person. He should
send her to the House of Detention, where she would be
under the care of the chaplain (Mr Jephson), who would
say to her that which he (Mr. Knox) hoped would have an
impression on her and would be useful to her for the future

' of the remarks made by Sir Robert Peel with reference
to the University of Dublin, which ought not, he said, to
have been dragged into this discussion. With respect to
the charter sought for the Roman Catholic university, he
remarked that it was not explained how the charter was to
be drawn, where the authority was to be lodged, and
whether the Crown was to be excluded from all control
over it.

Mr. CAMERON, as an amendment to the proposition,
moved that the report, exceDting the paragraph relating to
the agreement between the directors of the Grand Trunk
Company, and the paragraph as to the sum of £8,219 3s. 7d.
advanced for the Port Huron and Milwaukie Railway, be
adopted.
The CHAIRMAN said the amendment amounted to a vote
of want of confidence in the directors.

After some discussion, the CIIAIRMAN put the resolution,
with the understanding that it was not intended to affect
anything the directors had already done,
The amendment was carried, and the dividend was made
payable on the 3d June.

A resolution authorising the directors to construct the
railway to the oil spring, at a cost of £lO,OOO, was also
agreed to,

A vote of thanks to the chairman brought the proceedings
to a close.

DREADFUL TRAGEDY NEAR S 2.
PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.

The greatest possible excitement prevailed last
night in the vicinity of St. Paul's Cathedral, owing
to an awful tragedy having been enacted in the
premises belonging to Mr. Vyse, milliner, carrying
on business at 31, Ludgate-street.

The circumstances connected with this distressing
event are of a most painful character, and during
the contusion which necessarily ensued the following
particulars obtained from official sources.

WMithrin ,Oaxnldey, of thcoeurwseard sumbmeaodnliengof Fofficearrritnogs;lloir.i.
Sergeant Payne, the coroner for the city of London
and borough of Southwark, was suddenly s:immoned
to attend at the house of Mr. Vyse, as his services
would be required by the Coroner. He at once
proceeded to the house of Mr. Vyse, situated as
above stated, when a scene that can with gifficulty
be described presented itself. Two children, aged
respectively 5 and 7 years, were found perfectly
dead, and Mrs. Vyse had her throat cut in a most
frightful manner, and blood was flowing copiously
from an extensive wound in the throat of the un.
happy woman.

The discovery was made in the following manner:
—About 10 minutes before 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon Mrs. Vyse called the servant to go to
Messrs. Keating's, chemists, in St. Paul's-church.
yard, for some packets of powders. It would appear
from what the servant stated that she had been
sent for some of the same sort of powders in the
morning, which she stated was for the purpose of
poisoning rats. Whether she obtained the second
package of powders or not is, owing to the great
confusion which prevailed, not precisely known;
but one thing is quite certain, that after returning
from Mr. Keating's, and being in the house a few
minutes, she went to her mistress's door and found
it fastened. She knocked at it, and being unable
to obtain an entrance she went for assistance, and
the door was forced, when upon entering the room
the unfortunate female was found by her sister, who
was living in the house, in a pool of blood, and her
throat cut in the manner previously described. Shg
was then alive, and said to her sister, " Go into the
next room, and you will see something ; but it is no
use, as the two children will be found to be dead."
She, however, said nothing beyond the remark that
the children had :been poisoned by her, to lead to
the inference that she had committed the dreadful
deed.

The sister did as requested, when, upon entering
the room, she found the poor children in bed, the
countenance of each not much distorted ; in fact they
might be said to exhibit almost a placid appearancr:.
Medical attendance was procured from St. Bartho-
lomew's Hospital, and also from Mr. Keating's, but
it was found that the unhappy mother had inflicted
such a frightful gash in the throat, the blood having
flowed in such a stream as to nearly fill a basin, that
that it Was considered unsafe to remove her to the
hospital, and she still remains at her own house
under the surveillance of the police, but there is no
doubt that, by the time this report appears before
the public, the unfortunate creature will be no more.
The cause for the mother having made such a
fearful onslaught on her children is not precisely
known, but it is said that some time back one of her
children died, and .ince that period she had been
noticed, although doing a large and profitable busi-
ness, to be in ac exceedingly low and desponding
state.

Mr. Oxley has forwarded information to Mr.
Sergeant Payne, the coroner, in order that an inquest
may be hell upon the two children ; but it is ques-
tionable whether the inquiry will take place until
the ultimate condition of the mother is clearly
ascertained.
