wild and irrational. Her illness of Oct. 6th was said
to have been caused by the fact of the matron incit-
ing some of the women to turn her out of the yard.
Owing to her weak state he ordered that she should
do no work in the house. Was of opinion that she
was labouring under an incip.ent brain disease.

Mrs. Saunders,the matron of the City of London
Union, was next called. She knew the complain-
ant. She remembered the girl's admission into the
union in 1862. She had suggested the propriety
of plaaing her in the imbecile ward. Had never
heard the cause of her illness.
By Mr. Angell—The girl had been very trouble-
some, very violent in her conduct at times, and
would not work. Never heard of the girl being
disgusting in her conversation.
By Mr. Lewis—Witness would be afraid to place
any reliance upon any report the girl might make
considering her state of mind. Could not remember
if the girl had ever been punished for telling wilful
and deliberate falsehoods. Had never heard the
girl swear, but had heard that she had.
_ _

Mr. Meyrick said he was master of the work-
house, and had been so for several years. He was
then interrogated upon the several points alleged
against him, on each of which he denied his guilt.
After the commissioners of lunacy had visited the
house the girl was removed to the City of London
Union.

By Mr. Lewis—He never wrote any letter to
Mrs. Moss on any day. The daughter charged her
mother with turning her into the streets, at night,
and telling her to get her living the best way she
could. He said he could not admit her into the
house except so ordered by the surgeon, or as a
lunatic. He had had to punish her from time to
time, and he considered her more wicked than in-
sane. Never told the mother she could not see the
daughter. Never placed any restraint upon the
mother seeing her daughter. Had never sent any
letter out of the house at all in connection with the
girl.
_ . .

- By the Chairman—There never was any inquiry
by Mr. Bristow concerning the girl. It is the prac-
tice of the district committee to go round the house
every week.
No more evidence was adduced, and Mr. Angell
and Mr. Lewis were heard for their respective
clients.

The Chairman said that he regretted much that
Mr. Meyrick should be kept in suspense in regard
to the result of the investigation, but the evidence
taken was so voluminous that he was afraid it
would be still some days before the report to the
Poor-law Board would be ready.
The proceedings then terminated.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—Oct. 31.

OLD COURT.
(Before the Lord Chief Baron.)
THE MURDER IN THE CITY.
(Continued from the Sun of yesterday.)

The following is the conclusion of this extraor-
dinary case.
Mr. Ribton occupied nearly three hours in the
delivery of his address, and when he had concluded
the jury retired to take some refreshment.
The following evidence was then adduced for the
defence :

George Davis said—l live at No. 23, Harp-alley,
Farringdon-street, and am a porter at Baker's chop-
house, Change-alley. The prisoner used to sweep
the chimneys at that place, and he came for this
purpose on Monday morning, the 15th September.
He came at four o'clock and did not go away until
half-past five.
- John Graham, porter to Messrs. Pursell, confec-
tioners, of Cornhill, proved that the prisoner came
to their house at half-past five and stopped a few
minutes and then left.

By the Court—The prisoner came regularly every
Monday to see to the chimneys. None required
sweeping on this morning.
Robert W. Flanders, porter at a chop-house in
Finch-lane, proved that the prisoner was at that
house at a quarter to six o'clock on the morning of
the alleged murder, and left at five-and-twenty
minutes past. This was his regular time for com-
ing to clean the chimneys.
Mr. W. Cathie, the manager of Reed's chop-
house, in Pope's Head-alley, proved that the priso-
ner came there at five-and-twenty minutes to seven
on the same morning, and left at twenty minutes to

By Mr. Poland—lt generally took the prisoner
about an hour to sweep all the flues.
Mr. Ribton said he had other witnesses, who
would prove that on the Saturday the prisoner was
at the places where the witnesses for the prosecu-
tion represented that they had seen him on the
Monday, and that they had made a mistake in the
day.
The Lord Chief Baron said he considered that
evidence of the character suggested was not at all
material to the inquiry.
The lad James Gardner, who had been examined
on the previous day, was recalled by permission of
the Court, and Mr. Ribton asked him whether he
had heard the girl Humbler at any time say any-
thing relating to the offensive letters and valentines
that had been sent to the deceased.

He replied that he had not heard her say any-
thing in reference to the subject.
Mr. Poland then proceeded to address the jury
in reply upon the whole case. He said that his
learned friend was incorrect in stating that those
who conducted the prosecution had any doubt as to
whether the charge of murder should be pressed
against the prisoner or the young woman Humbler,
and he had carefully abstained in his opening ad-
dress from stating that there was any evidence to
support the charge against the latter, and he was
very glad that his lordship had afforded him
an op-
portunity of placing her in the witness-box, instead
of merely having her deposition read, because this
afforded an opportunity for his learned friend to
cross-examine her, and to discover whether or not
she was the witness of truth. The learned counsel
then proceeded to remark upon the evidence for
the prosecution, and said it appeared to him that
it entirely disproved the supposition that the
death arose from an act of suicide, and that
the medical testimony and the fact that
one of the fingers of the deceased was actually cut
to the bone, evidently in the act of grasping the
blade of the knife to defend herself from the attack
that was being made upon her, were quite conclu-
sive upon this point. He then referred to the other
suggestion for the defence, that the murder was
committed by the girl Humbler, and urged that it
was monstrous to suppose that a young girl, 19
years of age, should have lifted the unhappy de-
ceased out of her bed, and placed her on the floor,
and committed this dreadful crime, and that every
circumstance in the case also tended to negative
such a suggestion. In conclusion, he said that those
who conducted the prosecution had felt it their duty
to lay before the jury the whole of the circumstances
of this most remarkable case. He admitted that it
was incumbent upon them to prove, not only that
the case was not one of suicide, but of murder;
but also that the murder was committed by the pri-
soner ; and it appeared to him that the whole of the
evidence tended to induce that impression, and that
impression only, and he felt satisfied that if the jury
should be of the same opinion, they would not be
deterred from doing their duty by any consequences
that might result from it.

The Lord Chief Baron then proceeded to sum up.
He said that the prisoner was charged originally
with the young woman Elizabeth Humbler with
the commission of this crime, but on looking at the
depositions it occurred to him that the two prisoners
could not be properly tried together, and that if
such a course was adopted it was one that was
likely to produce discredit and mischief to the
administration of justice. The speech that had
been made by Mr. Ribton that day satisfied him
that he was correct in this opinion, for it the two
prisoners had been jointly tried, the result would
have been that each of the learned counsel
would have endeavoured to show that this crime
had been committed by the unfortunate prisoner
whom the other defended. As the counsel for the
prosecution had also intimated his intention not to
press the charge against the female prisoner, and
that his object was merely to give in evidence cer-
tain statements that had been made by her tending
to criminate the other prisoner, he felt that this was
not a course that should be taken, and Mr. Baron
Martin and the Recorder, whom he had consulted
upon the point, concurred with him in that opinion ;
and he therefore suggested that what should be done
Was to withdraw the charge against the female pri-
soner, and call her as a witness, so that she might
be cross-examined. The counsel for the prosecu-
tion had adopted this suggestion, and the whole case
was now before them. It was undoubtedly one of
the most extraordinary description, and the evi-
dence and the whole of the circumstances con-
nected with it would demand their most seri- 1
on the morning of the 15th Sep-
temberous eonsidertahlaiton. There was no doubt, in the

the evidence, and, in reference to that which had
been given by Sergeant Mobbs as to the pri-
soner having pointed out to him certain marks of
blood upon the wall, the shutters and the window-
blind, which marks he was certain were not there
two or three days before, and his having stated that
the girl Humbler had opened the shutters where the
bloody mark was, on the Monday morning, he asked
them whether the inference that must naturally be
drawn from this conduct was not that the prisoner
was endeavouring to fix the crime of murder upon
the girl. His lordship concluded by stating that if
positive evidence were required in cases of this de'.
scription a conviction would rarely or never take place,
but the duty of the jury was to look calmly and dis-
passionately at the evidence, and if that evidence left
no fair and reasonable doubt upon their minds, and
that the whole of it tended to but one result, this
was all that was necessary, and no more could be
expected. They were of course aware that they
owed a duty to the accused, but they should not at
the same time forget their duty to the public.
The jury retired at half-past four o'clock to deli-
berate upon their verdict. At six o'clock they
returned into ccurt, and the foreman of the jury
gave the verdict of guilty, but he said, at the same
time, that they were desirous of recommending the
prisoner to mercy, on the ground that they believed
that after the prisoner and his wife went up to bed
on the Sunday night they had a quarrel about the
girl Humbler, and that the act was committed in a
fit of anger.
Mr. Hemp, the Deputy Clerk of Arraigns, then
inquired or the prisoner, in the usual form, whether
he had anything to say why judgment of death
should not be passed upon him.
The prisoner, who, during the whole tithe the
learned Judge was summing up, stood leaning upon
bthi:eyes front
tu therneddo, as dock, with his hands clasped and
though engaged in prayer,
upturned,
immediately addressed the Court in a firm, clear
voice, and said,—" I can safely declare upon my
word and honour that I am as innocent of my wife's
death as an unborn babe, or of knowing anything
about it. Any man who could destroy the life of his
wife with his own flesh and blood in her body,
hanging is too good for him. I swear before God
that I am innocent of this crime ; it is not in my
instinct to do such a thing. I could not do it for
the world. There is a greater judge than your
lordship who knows all ; I fear him more than any
earthly judge, and I thank God I have not got this
crime to answer for."

The Lord Chief Baron, having put on the black
cap, proceeded to pass sentence upon the prisoner.
He said that he had been convicted of the crime of
wilful murder upon the person of his wife on the
15th of September. That she bad died by an act of
violence the evidence did not leave the smallest
doubt, and the proposition that she did not destroy
herself appeared to him to be almost as clearly esta-
blished. It also scarcely required the assistance
and aid of medical skill to be enabled to form the
conclusion, that after the act of violence had been
committed the body had been placed in an artificial
position so as to create a belief that the deceased
had destroyed herself. He entertained no doubt,
from the evidence, that the murder must have been
committed either on the Sunday night or the Mon-
day morning, and it appeared equally clear that the
deed must have been done by himself, or the young
woman Humbler. Some of the observations that
had been made by the learned counsel who had de-
fended him so ably were undoubtedly entitled to
attention, particularly when he urged the absence
of a motive for the commission of the crime. It
certainly was difficult to ascribe any motive either
for the act of sucide, or the commission of murder,
but at the same time it was certainly equally diffi-
cult for any one to come to the opinion that upon
the evidence the jury had not arrived at a right
conclusion. They had accompanied their verdict
with a recommendation to mercy, and they assigned
as a reason for the recommendation their belief that
it was probable that after he and his wife had re-
tired to their bedroom on the Sunday night, a
quarrel or disagreement took place between them
on account of the girl Humbler, and that the act
might have been committed in the course of that
quarrel. With respect to this girl he thought he
might say, without hesitation, so far as the alle-
gation that she was concerned in the murder, there
was no case against her upon which any jury would
have been warranted in finding her guilty. He
(the learned judge) had therefore felt it his duty to
protect him from what must have been the conse-
quence if they had been jointly tried, namely, that
in addition to the direct evidence against him, he
would have been seriously prejudiced by the counsel
for the young woman Humbler, charging him with
the murder as he would in all probability have been
compelled to do, and showing that he alone was the
person who committed it, in order to save her from
the chance of being convicted. The learned judge
then said he would take care that the recommenda-
tion to mercy was forwarded to the only quarter
where any effect could be given to it, but, taking
into consideration the nature of the crime, he did
not feel himself justified in holding out any expec-
tation that it would have effect. He then passed
the awful sentence of death upon the prisoner in
the usual terms.

The prisoner, when the learned judge had con-
cluded, again addressed him, and said " My lord, I

removed from the bar, still protest-

ing his innocence.

solicitor of Bucklersbury, said be was in attendance
forthe purpose of applying for a summons against
the prisoner for perjury, but that bearing the doubt
raised as to which Commercial-road was meant in
the address on the bill, he had volunteered his evi-
dence to the effect that there was no George-street
in the Commercial-road, Lambeth.

Mr. Benham having previously produced the
bills for the purpose of comparison, and for the in-
formation of the court, said that was the whole of
the case for this prosecution.
Mr. Holt, for the defence, submitted that this
was a charge trumped up for other purposes than
that of furthering the ends of justice, and that the
Court would never have heard of it if the prisoner
had not become a bankrupt. The whole case rested
upon the belief only of two witnesses with regard
to handwriting, which he contended was insufficient
to support such a serious charge as forgery. He
maintained that there was not a tittle of evidence
to show that any forgery had been committed, and
he therefore asked the Court to discharge his client.
Alderman Hale said it should be remembered that
the evidence of the belief in the handwriting did not
come from the party to whom the bill was given.
In his opinion it was a clear case, and he was pre-
pared to deal with it in the usual way.
Mr. Holt thereupon asked for a remand, and ap-
plied to the alderman to order that the prisoner
should be sent back to Whitecross-street Prison in
the interim.

Alderman Hale said the case was already com-
plete, but he saw no objection to the application.
The prisoner would, however, be remanded to New-
gate in the ordinary course. He could not depart
from the rule of the Court.

THE LONDON RIFLES.—Mr. Humphreys, of the
firm of Humphreys and Morgan, of Giltspur-cham-
bers, Newgate-street, attended before Mr. Alderman
Hole, accompanied by the Secretary to the London
Rifle Brigade, and applied, by direction of the com-
manding officer, for summonses against certain
members of the corps who were in arrears with their
subscriptions.
A number of defaulters were named, but sum-
monses were issued against only 13 of them, in the
hope that those not proceeded against immediately
would appreciate such forbearance and liquidate all
arrears without having to pass through the ordeal,
and consequent degradation of appearing publicly
in a police-court.

BOW-STREET.--A man of gentlemanly appear-
ance, who said his name was Henry Bellair, was
charged with uttering several cheques, alleged to be
forged.
Mr. Phipps, of High Holborn, saddler, stated that
on Thursday afternoon the prisoner called at his shop
and ordered certain goods, stating that he was an
officer i❑ the Royal Artillery. Amongst the articles
which he selected were a saddle, two bridles,
stirrup-leathers, &c. The bill amounted to £lO
18s. 6d. The prisoner then drew a cheque for £ll
and requested witness to give him the difference
(is. 6d.), which he did. Witness produced the
cheque, which was drawn on Cox and Co., army
agents, Craig's court, Charing-cross, and signed
" Henry Beliair." The articles were to be sent to
the prisoner at the address, " Henry Bellair, Lieu-
tenant Royal Artillery, Plines, South Camp, Alder-
shot." Witness handed the prisoner the ls. 6d.
" change," being the difference between the amount
of the cheque and the price of the goods. The pri-
soner went away. Witness thought it advisable,
before sendicg the goods, to ascertain if the cheque
were 'genuine. A messenger was therefore de-
spatched to Cox's, and returned with information
that the so-called " Lieutenant Bellair" was 'not
known there. Witness mentioned the occurrence
to a neighbour, also a tradesman in Holborn. In
the course of the evening the prisoner attempted to
pass off a similar cheque upon the tr adesrden re-
ferred to, who at once sent for witness, and the pri-
soner was given into custody.
At the station the prisoner said he lived at Heavi-
tree, near Exeter, and was a lieutenant in the
Queen's County Constabulary, having been trans-,
ferred to that force from the Royal Artillery.
The prisoner was remanded for further examina-
tion, on this charge, and several others of a simi-
lar character.

CLERK ENWELL.—SHOCKING INHUMANITY
TO A HORSE.--IMPRISONMENT WITHOUT A FINE.
—John Denny, aged 19, who described himself as
a carman, of 29, Tower-street, St. Martin's-lane,
was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt, at the in-
stance of Mr. W. Love, the chief officer of the
Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, with the following scandalous treatment
to a horse, in St. Pancras :
Hasemer and Jenkins, two officers engaged by
the Royal Society, stated that on Thursday morn-
ing they were passing through Hunter-street, when
they saw the defendant beating a horse with a heavy
whip in a most cruel manner. The • roads were
heavy, and in addition to a large van, the poor
animal had to draw a ton of coals, besides some
other things. Finding that the horse could not get
along with the load, and that the prisoner kept up
a continual flogging of the unfortunate animal,
they went up to him and found the horse in a very
weak state. It had a disease in one of the hoofs,
and every time it endeavoured to pull the load,
one of the hoofs that was cracked opened and
caused the animal much pain. The hind parts
of the horse had dropped from weakn. ss, and it was
quite used up and unfit for work. The effects of
the prisoner's violence were plainly visible, there
being several weals along the body. When they
took the prisoner into custody he said he was not
aware that he was doing harm. He had to work
hard himself, and having purchased the horse to
work, it must do so, or it was of no use to him. On
the way to the station he offered the constables a
bribe to let him go.
The prisoner, who treated the matter as a joke,
several times laughing when the evidence was given,
said he had been to the Great Northern for a ton of
coals, and he thought the horse was well able to
draw the load. Certainly the roads were a little
heavy, but the horse had drawn a similar load be-
fore and he ought to be able to do so again. The
horse was old and looked poor, but that was its na-
ture, and it was as willing as willing could be.
D'Eyncourt said that cases of this sort
seemed to be on the increase, and he had had seve-
ral brought under his notice of late by the officers
of the society. This was a very bad case, and as he
had found that fining the defendants was of no
avail, he should see what imprisonment would do.
He should send the prisoner to the House of Cor-
rection with hard labour for 14 days, and if ever
he was brought again before him for a similar of-
fence, and it was proved, he might depend on it
that he would be more sharply dealt with.
The prisoner, who seemed rather surprised at the
decision, pretended to cry as he was being removed.

7ILF SUSPECTED MURDER A 7 SADDLE-

WORTH.

The inquest on the body of James Farrand, a woollen
weaver, aged 55 years, residing at Saddleworth, and sup-
posed to have been murdered, was opened on Thursday at
the Tame Valley Hotel, Dukinfield.—Samuel Farrand, a
son of the deceased, stated that his father left his work at
Heybottom's, Saddleworth, about half-past 3 o'clock on Sa-
turday afternoon, and said ho would go to James Wood's
beerhouse to have a pint of ale. He then had on his coat
And a low-crowned hat, but he did not know whether he
had any money.--William Lithgoe, one of the officers in the
Cheshire constabulary, deposed that on Tuesday morning
he found the body in the river Tame, at Dukinfield. De-
ceased was without shoes, coat, neckerchief, and hat, and
there was no money in the pockets. Both of the toes of the
stockings were worn out, and the feet were bare.—James
Wood, beerseller, Primrose Bank, Saddleworth, said the
deceased came to his house, and remained there until about
half-past 11 o'clock that night, when he left. James But-
terworth, Samuel Heys, James Winterbottom, Jas. Burnes
and Thomas Robinson left with him. James Bradbury
came to the house just before they left. He was the worse
for liquor but did not stay five minutes, as witness put him
out of the house. There was no quarrelling between the
parties. When deceased left the house he was dressed in
a black cloth coat, and had his hat and shoes on. James
Butterworth, Samuel Heys, and James Winterbottom
would have to go over the bridge at Greenfield Brook
with deceased, which brook is about 350 yards from the river
Tame, the river being distant from witness's house 20 or 25
yards. The deceased lived from 300 to 400 yards from wit-
ness's house. The bridge is a stone bridge, the battlements
of which are about a yard high from the road. The witness
then fully described the locality, and added that the distance
from his house to where the body was found would be about
six miles. Did not hear any quarrelling when the deceased
and the others left the house. The deceased was not much
intoxicated ;ho was capable of walking home. After wit-
ness had closed his door he heard a few words between
Bradbury and Farrand. Bradbury said "I cannot tell the
reason why Jemmie o' Bobies has turned me out." Far-
'
' rand (deceased) replied "Thou sees thou hast come too
late." Bradbury would have to go in an opposite direction
to that which deceased would take. In answer to Mr. Shaw,
solicitor, who appeared to watch the case on behalf of Brad-
bury, who is a whipper-in for the hunt at Saddleworth, and
who is in custody on suspicion, the witness showed that the
deceased might have got into the river before he reached
the bridge mentioned. Mr. John Brierley, surgeon, Du-
kinfield, said—Yesterday I made a post-mortem examina-
tion of the body of the deceased. There were nine distinct
wounds on the scalp. One was a lacerated wound
of the forehead, just above the nose, containing s coagulated
hpaeillandfront i
t
blood. It was an incised wound, triangular in
in length,
t
Penetrated to the bone. It was about two in
and half an inch in breadth. The edges f the wound were
inverted, and underneath the coagulated blood there was
some filth. There was no injury to the bone. The next
wound was a lacerated wound one the right side of the fore-
head. It penetrated to the bone, which wasbar.e. It
waalso
also filled with dirt, and the wound was inverted V

left side of the forehead there was a clean out of about two
inches in length, which penetrated to the bone, and the sides
of the wounds were inverted. There were four distinct cut
wounds, two on each side of the crown of the head. All
these penetrated to the bone. There were two more cut
wounds at the back of the heasl, both of which penetrated to
the bone, and the sides of the wounds were inverted. Those
were all the injuries on the head. There was no fracture of
the skull. The back part of each hand and the right knee
were extensively abrased. The left knee was slightly
abrased. The upper part of both feet and toes were also ex-
tensively abrased. The left toe nail was partially denuded.
There was also an extensive abrasion on the back of the
left shoulder blade. The }main was perfectly healthy. The
back part of the mouth contained about two table spoonsful
of river sand of a light colour. There was no congestion
of the lungs. They were inflated with air to a consider-
able extent, and were perfectly healthy. The bronchial tubes
contained no water nor any other fluid. Each arm from the
elbow to the wrist had several bruises, and the nose was
much scratched. The wound en the forehead, above the
nose, is one of a dangerous character, and, in my opinion,
would be sufficient to deprive the deceased of sensation and
motion, if given when alive.

The coroner here said it would be desirable to adjourn
the inquest; and he intimated it was not at present desir-
able to ask Mr. Brierley any more questions. Mr. Brierley
said there were no symptoms to indicate drowning.
The inquiry was then adjourned till Thursday next, and,
meanwhile, the locality where the supposed murder took
place will be visited by the coroner, Mr. Brierley, Mr.
Little, and others, Branbury was conveyed back to Sad-
dleworth in custody of the police.
