Witness—Because of his ill treatment. I had left him
three years before. He turned me out of doors. I don't
know why. There was a quarrel. I don't know what about.
When I went home one day I found he had another wo-
man there with him. He would not allow me to stay in
the house. He struck me andpushed me out of the house
I wont to live with a female friend at Woolwich for
six months. My husband did not make me any allowance.
I had not then seen Lewis. The affair with my husband
was made up. I returned to him, and he treated me worse
than ever. I left him then, 14 months ago. We did not
quarrel about Lewis. I never went out with Lewis. We
had several quarrels about Lewis. I left him to go and
live with a Mrs. Brown, and I got my living by needle-
work. I have lived with Lewis ten months. He is a water-
man on the Thames, and is 40 years of age. My husband
was a rigger. I only saw my-
husband twice during that time.
He came to my house three weeks ago. One of the children
nfluw .1- cry, .3

cut my throat. He attempted to take my life. The land-
lady came and calmed him. He then wanted me to return
and live with him, but I refused. He then went away. The
second time I saw him was on Wednesday night, at ten
o'clock, at the Old Ford Station. I was walking with Lewis.
Inspector Kerressy said that deceased called when his
wife was in the house during the day, but she would not
see him.

The witness continued—Deceased said, " I have caught
you at last." Ho took a pistol out of his pocket and at-
tempted to shoot Lewis. A gentleman passing wrested
the pistol from him. Deceased then ran after Lewis and
took another pistol. 1 ran away. He shot Lewis. He
then ran up the road after me, but missed me, for he ran
the wrong way. I had the first pistol with me. I had
helped with the gentleman to wrest it out of my husband's
hand. I cannot identify the pocket pistol produced as that
pistol. Lewis is a married man ; his wife is living. My
children are aged respectively 12 and 14. I have a child by
Lewis 21 years old.
A juror said the witness's evidence about Lewis was at
least contradictory.

The witness said that her husband knew she had the
child by Lewis. He saw that child when he called upon
her three weeks ago.

Henry Colvin, 101, Armagh-road, said that on the night
of Wednesday he saw the last witness and two men near
the Old Ford Station talking excitedly. One of the men
said, "I want my wife to come back to me." Lewis said
that she might go, but the lady said she would not go.
Lewis walked away, but the deceased called out, " Do not
go away ; lam not done with you yet." The lady called
out, " Oh, my God, he has got a pistol! Help !" Witness
and Lewis closed in upon him as he was about to fire, and
got the pistol from him.• Lewis put the pistol in his pocket
and walked away.
Mrs. Robinson said that she took the pistol out of Lewis's
hand, and ran with it to the surgeon's.

The witness said that deceased followed Lewis and shot
him with another pistol. Witness ran and supported Lewis
who said, "I can stand; don't put me down." The do-
ceased ran up the road, and standing in the middle of it
cut his throat with a razor. He fell, and crawled on one
side. The police, who had heard the report of the pistol,
came running up by that time. Mr. Garman was called,
and said that deceased was quite dead. The deceased was
put on a stretcher and carried to the doadhouso.
Alfred Barnes, a lad, gave evidence similar to the last
witness, and added that when Lewis got the first pistol ho
tried to discharge it downwards, but it would not go off.
The deceased took out another pistol, put a cap on it, and
running after Lewis shot him. He then ran to find his
wife, and coming to a young woman presented the pistol
at her. He seemed to see she was the wrong woman, and
he threw the pistol down. Ho pulled out a razor and went
down the road. Ho then jumped about a bit, as if glad,
and then cut his thoat. Witness ran for the police. This
happened in the Tredegar-road.
Miss Lucy Hutchinson, Globe-road, Mile-end, said that
she was on the evening in question going towards Fairfield-
road when she heard a pistol shot. A man came towards
her as if running after some one. He came in front of her
and looked at her. Her eyes were half out of his head and
he had the appearance of a madman. He had something in
his hand. She believed it was a pistol. He seemed to
think that he was mistaken, and he went away.
Joseph Nicholls, 450 K, said that he was called in to the
deceased, and found him in the Tredegar-road with his
throat cut. Witness got a handkerchief from a gentleman
and tried to staunch the blood. He died almost imme-
diately. Witness found on him a silver watch and 17s.
10d. in money.
Joseph Goodson, 227 K, said that he found a recently
discharged pistol in the Tredegar-road about 50 yards from
where the 'deceased lay. There was a spent cap on the
pistol. The shot in the loaded pistol was duck shot.
Mr. Cornelius E. Garman, Fairfield-road, Bow, said that
he was called by the police to see the deceased in Tre-
degar-road. He was quite dead ; his throat was fearfully
cut, all the great vessels being divided. His death must
have been instantaneous. The wound had been inflicted
with a razor.

A juror asked whether the deceased was sober at the
time the dreadful occurrence took place.
Susannah Holmes, 9, Bermuda-street, Mile End-street,
deceased's landlady, said that deceased lived as a bachelor
in her house. He lived with no woman. He was a very
sober, quiet man. For the.last month he seemed to be out
of his mind. He said on Wednesday afternoon that he
could not bear to see his wife with another man and that
he could not stand it any longer. After tea he said, 1, Now
I must have a glass for the last time, for I will do it."
Witness took no notice, for he had often said he would
kill Lewis if he could not get his wife. He was quite sober
at the time. He used to fret like a child.

The Coroner having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict, " That deceased committed
suicide iu the public road while in a state of mental de-
rangement."

NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION.—Mr. F. S.
Blockey, of Baghdad, has forwarded to the National Life-
boat Institution £5, being the sum received by him from
Mr. Percival, late of the Indian Telegraph, for the recovery
of the body of the late Mr. E. Archer, who was drowned
off Maaghil, near Busreh, on the 18th February last.
THE TAX ON COTTON.—As there appears to be a
wide difference of opinion even among well-informed
men in all quarters as to the precise effect of the executive
proclamation of the 13th inst. on the cotton trade, it is
thought proper to state that all restrictions on trade in that
article east of the Mississippi are removed, and the only tax
it is now required to pay is that of two cents. per pound
imposed by the internal revenue laws. New York
Herald.

HIGHLAND AND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF SCOT.
LAND.—The half-yearly meeting was held at Edinburgh
on Wednesday, the Earl of Rosslyn presiding. 120 new
members were balloted for and admitted. The secretary
reported that for the general show to be held at Inverness
on the first week in August there were 325 head of cattle,
125 horses, 850 head of sheep, 38 swine, 288 poultry, and
700 implements entered. The exhibition of stock would
be larger than at any of the society's shows since 1859.
The show for 1866 would be held at Glasgow, and and of
1867 at Aberdeen.

DEATH OF A. WIFE-BEATER IN A POLICE-CELL.—.
Yesterday an inquest was held in Red Cross-street,
on the body of John Schooly, aged 95 years. It appears
that on Tuesday the deceased was taken into custody by
the police for a brutal assault on his wife, and locked up in
a cell of the Moor-lane station. On Wednesday morning
ho was found to bo dead, and the medical evidence showed
that death had resulted from softening of the brain. The
jury returned a verdict that deceased was found lying
dead in a cell at the Moor-lane police station, and that his
death Was caused by softening of the brain.
THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT BRUTON.—FROME,
Friday.—This morning the pointsman, James
Andrews, who was yesterday taken into custody on the
charge of manslaughter in connection with the fatal occur-
rence at the Bruton Railway station, was brought before C.
Barton, Esq., at the Wincanton Town-hall, in custody of
Sergeant Sheppard, of the county constabulary, Mr Burton,
superintendent of the Great Western Railway police, and
Mr. Morrison, the inspector. The evidence taken was en-
tirely formal, Henry Pearce, a guard, proving the fatal re-
sult of the accident, and Inspector Morrison the apprehen-
sion of the prisoner. Mr. Barton remanded him till such
time as further inquiry shall have been made into the mat-
ter. The injured men, we are glad to say, are progressing
as favourably as it is expected they can from the severe
shock they received. One is at the Crown and the other
at the Wollaston Hotel, and, under the charge of Dr
Heginbotham and Air. Stockwell, are doing well and
favourably.
