CRIMINAL COURT-THIS DAY

OLD COURT.
(Before the Lord Chief Baron.)
ALLEGED MURDER.

Samuel Gardner and Elizabeth Humbler were jointly
indicted for the wilful murder of Elizabeth Gardner, in
Northumberland-court, Fenchurch-street.

The case was opened by Mr. Poland for the prosecution,
who was about to submit to the jury some statements which
had been made by the female, when
The Chief Baron could not allow such a course. Not a
shade of guilt had yet been thrown by the learned counsel
on the woman, and he suggested that in her case a verdict
of Not Guilty should be taken, and that she should be
called as a witness, which would expose her to a cross-
examination.

This course was ultimately adopted, and Humbler left
the dock, and the case proceeded against Gardner.
It will be recollected that the prisoner carried on the
business of a sweep in Northumberland-court. Humbler
had for some time acted as domestic servant to the prisoner,
but it appeared she had been on terms of intimacy with him,
which naturally occasioned an ill-feeling between him and
his wife. The body of the wife was found with a terrible gash
in the throat, and when her death became known Gardner
accused Humbler of having murdered his wife, and after-
wards placed the knife in his wife's hand to make it appear
as if she had committed suicide.

The principal witness examined was the surgeon, who
gave it as his opinion that it was utterly impossible for the
deceased to have inflicted the wound which caused her
death with her own hand. He also said the position of the
knife was strong evidence that she did not do so, because if
she cut her throat with it she must have done it with the
back of the knife. The knife seemed to have been placed
in the hand of the deceased after death with the edge back-
wards.

The witness was subjected to along and minute cross-exa-
mination by Mr. Ribton, who defended the accused, with a
view to show that it was within the range of possibility that
deceased committed suicide; but in this he entirely failed, the
surgeon believing that under any circumstances it was im-
possible for the woman to have inflicted the injury with her
own hand.

The case was proceeding when we went to press, and
from the number of witnesses to be examined it is expected
it will not conclude to-day.

OLD COURT.—YESTERDAY.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin.)
TILE MURDER AT tsLEwo tan.
Robert Cooper was indicted for the wilful murder of Ann
Jane Barcham, bn the 7th of August last.
The facts of this unfortunate affair have recently appeared
in the newspapers. It will be recollected that the prisoner
deserted from the army, and afterwards married the de-
ceased, but in consequence of a quarrel with the mother of
the deceased he was compelled to return to his regiment,
owing to information respecting him having been given by
her, and then the deceased refused to cohabit with him.
This incensed the prisoner, and he then hung about the
residence of the deceased, and in a short time
after he showed three bullets to some persons, one
of which he said was for the deceased, another for
her mother, and the other was for the man who should at-
tempt his capture after he had she
theta. A short time
after this the prisoner was seen walking with the deceased
in a lane, near Lsleworth, called Brazil-lane, where she met
her death from a pistol shot, the weapon, it was alleged,
having been discharged by the prisoner.
Mr. Clarke, on the part of the Treasury, prosecuted; and
Mr. Best, of the Oxford Circuit, defended.
The learned judge having summed up the evidence.
The jury, without retiring, found the prisoner guilty of
wilful murder.

Mr. Baron Martin, in passing sentence on the prisoner,
said the evidence brought forward was most conclusive,
and the jury could have found no other verdict than that
which they had arrived at. The learned judge then passed
sentence of death in the usual form, holding out no hope of
mercy.
The prisoner was then removed from the bar.
