The prisoners were stopped and taken into custody by
William Holmes, 54 S division, with a number of tum-
blers and gin glasses concealed on their persons with the
name and address of Mr. Cross, Black Cap Tavern, Cam-
den-town, engraved upon them.
Holmes, and Cook, 178 S, said the prisoners were well-
known characters, who were in the practice of plunder-
ing licensed victuallers of their pots and glasses ; and,
numerous thefts having been committed in Kentish and
Camden-towns, if the prisoners were remanded, they had
little doubt but other charges would be brought forward
against them.
The Magistrate said, in the case of Mr. Cross, who
identified the property, was perfectly clear; hut he would
remand them for further inquiries to be made.

THAMES.—Joseph Pegram Gulley, a young man of
respectable appearance, but described as a labourer, of
No. 10, Bridge-street, adjoining the Regents Canal,
Mile-end-road, was charged with causing the death of
Elizabeth Fox.

The husband of the deceased woman, a man of some
property, and the son of the late Mr. Fou, a magistrate
of the Tower Liberty, came before Mr. Yardley on Tues-
day afternoon, and said that his wife had received a vio-
lent blow from a man named Culley on the 10th inst.,
that she was in a dying state in the London Hospital,
and that he had been just informed by the house surgeon
that she could not live more than four hours. He then
put in a certificate, signed by Mr. Debenham, the house-
surgeon, stating that his wife was admitted into the
hospital on the 10th of September, with " epitaxis,"
arising from an injury to the nose, and earnestly en-
treated the magistrate to cause "the murderer of
his wife to be taken into custody." Mr. Yardley referred
the matter to Sergeant Forck, No. 27 K, who accom-
panied the applicant, and said the police would interfere
if, upon inquiry, they considered there were sufficient
reasons for doing so. Yesterday Mr. Fox, who is consi-
derably advanced in years, came into the court, bewail-
ing the loss of his wife, who expired at an early hour that
morning in the London Hospital, and soon afterwards
the prisoner was arraigned in the dock.
William Watson, a police constable, No. 38 K, stated
that on the previous night he took the prisoner into cus-
tody, on a charge of violently assaulting Mrs. Fox on
Saturday, the 10th inst. He went to the hospital that
morning with the prisoner, for the purpose of his being
identified by Mrs. Fox, and ascertained that she had ex-
pired before one o'clock. He saw Mr. Debenham, the
house-surgeon, who said he could not give any opinion
of the cause of death until a post-mortem examination
took place. There were marks of injuries on the de-
ceased's face, and she told the nurse in the hospital that
Joseph Culley, the prisoner, had inflicted them, and had
broken her nose.

Mr. Yardley said, the statement made to the nurse
would not be evidence unless the deceased believed she
was dying, or it wag uttered in the presence of the pri-
soner ; and that all Mr. Debenham could prove was,
that the woman died from the effects of some injuries in-
flicted upon her. He wanted evidence to prove under
what circumstances, and by whom, the injuries were
inflicted.

Watson—The deceased's nose and eyes were disfigured.
Mr. Fox, who appeared in much grief, and sobbed
loudly, here said, " From my poor wife's own words the
prisoner did it, and has been the death of her."

Mr. Pelhani, who defended the prisoner, said he could
prove by the evidence of 10 or 12 witnesses that the un-
fortunate deceased was a woman of very intemperate
habits, and that her eyes were blackened and swollen
before the recontre with the prisoner on the 10th inst.
He would also prove that if the deceased was struck by
the prisoner at all it was by mere accident. He then
called

Harriet Fox, who said she was no relation to the de-
ceased woman, who lived next door to the prisoner. On
the 10th inst, the prisoner was delivering vegetables at
the house of the witness, who carried on the business of
a greengrocer, and, as he threw a cabbage into a basket,
Mrs. Fox, the deceased, who was present, turned round
and swore at him, called him a 13--- housebreaker,
and used other vituperative language. Mrs. Fox, who
was very much intoxicated, continued this for some time,
and struck the prisoner, who pushed her away.
Mr. Yardley—Did he strike her ?
Witness—No," he did not, sir. He gave her a push.
Her nose bled for a little while alter that. Her eyes
were blackened previous to that, and she had been at a
public house drinking on the same day.
Mr. Yardley said there was some very slight evidence
against the prisoner, who gave the deceased a push ;
but whether that caused the injuries on her face was not
stated. There was nothing in the case to warrant him
in doing anything more than ordering
