ST. THOMAS'S DAY.-THE IVARDMOTE

BIECTIONS.

Ibis being St. Thomas's Day, the several wardmotes
connected with the municipality of the city of London
was held.

There were but few questions of general importance
entertained by and discoursed upon to-day by the can-
didates for the City representation for the year ensuing.
There was no political excitement. Generally speaking,
there was little or no opposition, and the proceedings in
the different wards wore merely pro forma. In the fol-
lowing nineteen wards there was no opposition :
Aldersgate Broad-street Dowgate
Aldgate Candlewick Langbourne
Bassishaw I Cheap Lime-street
Billingsgate Cripplegate Portsok en
Bishopsgate I Cordwaincrs' Vintry
Bread-street I Cornhill Wallbrooke
Bridge
There were new candidates in the following wards :
Castle Baynard—Moesre. Odell and Palmer, in place
of Messrs. Bailey and Hoppe.

Coleman-street—Mr. Ilcsthall, in place of Mr. Sid-
rgton.

Farringdon Within--Mr. C. Read, in place of Mr. T.
M‘Gregor.
Farringdon Without—Mr. Scamell, in place of Mr. T
11. Fox.

Queenhitlic—Mr. J. Copeman, in place of Mr. W.
Tyler.

Tower—Mx. Pay(len, in place of Mr. Briggs.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

David Spice, aged 16, was indicted for committing a
rape upon a child under four years of age.
Mr. Payne prosecuted.
The case was unfit for publication.
The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sen-
tenced to four years' penal servitude.

NEW COURT.
(Before Russell Gurney, Esq., Q.C.)

Williant M ayltcw;was indicted for feloniously breaking
into and entering the dwelling-house of Elizabeth Susan
Colley, on the night of the 2d of November.
Mr. Carteen prosecuted, and Mr. Rebton defended.

The facts were these :—The prosecutrix keeps the
Masons' Arms, Lambeth-road, and upon the morning
above-mentioned, at about half-past three o'clock, a
police constable, George Turner, saw prisoner come
from the house, and run across the road. The officer
followed, and caught hold of him, and told him
to come back, as he knew he did not live
there. He, the officer, then took him to the station,
and afterwards found that the house had been entered
from the club-room window, which looked into China-
walk.

He was convicted and sentenced to twelve months'
mprisonment and hard labour.
This closed the business of the session.

THE DOUBLE MURDER IN WARREN-

STREET.

RE-EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER-
THIS DAY.

At 20 minutes after one, the prisoner, Emanuel Bar-
thelemy, who stands charged with the double murder of
Mr. Charles George Moore and Mr. Charles Collard,
was brought up before Mr. Hardwick and Mr. Bingham,
for re-examination.

The avenues leading to the court were most densely
crowded.

The deceased gentleman, Mr. Moore, was one of the
senior wardens of the Wheelwrights' Company, and, but
for this tragical occurrence, would, according to the
usage of the livery, during the ensuing year, have been
made master of the company. He was a gentleman
universally respected and beloved by his fellow livery-
I men.

Mr. Herring, the solicitor, appeared for the prisoner.
The prisoner looked somewhat paler than upon the
occasion of his last examination. He was, as upon the
former examination, handcuffed during the whole of the

proceedings.
The first evidence gone into was that of the servant
girl, and others who have been examined, and whose
testimony has already appeared, and was under exami-
nation when we went to press.

Inspector Checkley stated that there were other wit-
nesses to be examined during the day whose testimony
tended most materially to clear up the mystery which
hangs around this truly appalling case of homicide.
The servant girl in addition said that she had seen
prisoner about six times at her master's house. He
came to tend the engine. She never knew her master
to have gone to France.

Mr. George Moore— I am son of the deceased_
Upon going over the place after the murder, I found
a small sum of money in the iron chest. Ido not know
where the key was found.

Inspector Chockley said it was found in the room
where the scuffle took place.

Mr. Moore continued—My father generally kept that
key in his waistcoat pocket.

William Smith, police sergeant, proved finding the
key.

In answer to Mr. Hardwick,

Inspector Checkley stated that they had been unable
to take the female spoken of, and that he had authority
to say that no one else was concerned in the murder.

After some further evidence, the prisoner was fully
committed for trial upon both charges of wilful murder.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.—At a Court of Corn-
mon Council yesterday, the chairman brought up the
report of the Consolidated Committee, containing pro-
positiocs in answer to the recommendations of the Royal
Commission of Inquiry into the state of the Corpora-
tion. The adoption of the report having been moved,
Mr. Fry proposed, as an amendment, that the consi-
deration of the report should be adjourned, on the
ground that there was not now time to discuss it, be-
cause the re-election of the Court was close at hand.
Mr. W. Jones said, he had been informed that Go-
vernment had prepared a measure upon the subject, and
therefore it was not desirable that the Court should
proceed further until they knew the nature of that mea-
sure. A discussion ensued, the result of which was the
adoption of the amendment by a majority of 25, the
against it, 31.

within the last few days among a portion of the agricul-
turalh evous
community, which has resulted in a demand for
gold on banks, not only in the city of Limerick, but in
some of the neighbouring towns. The Limerick Reporter,
alluding to the matter, says—" We understand that the
groundless alarm originated in a senseless observation
that some of the banks had closed, and that, like all
alarms of the kind, it spread till it extended its influ-
ence to Limerick and other towns about. In Limerick
the demand has been of a limited character, and calcu-
lated to injure only those who have permitted them-
selves to bo actuated by it. We notice the subject for
the purpose of assuring the people that there is no
cause whatever for the alarm, and that a demand for gold
under the circumstances must only tend to do injury
to their own prospects. It must have the effect not
only of lessening the marketable value of agricultural
produce, but of curtailing bank accommodation, and
thus inflicting a detriment on all classes, whether in the
relation of landlord, merchant, shopkeeper, employer,
Ltrmer, or operative. We believe the banks of Ireland
generally were never better prepared than they are at
this moment to meet any demand upon them. A de-
mand for gold, at the same time, can only result in public
detriment and individual suffering, because it must bring
down the value of produce And lab Our.".
