LONDON GRANT) CENTRAL STREET IMPROVEMENT.—
It will have been observed in the proceedings of the Court of
Common Council, reported in our Paper of yesterday, that a
memorial was presented by Mr. Alderman Waithman from cer-
tain respectable individuals who had formed a Joint Stock Com-
pany, for the purpose of forming a new road to be extended
from Fleet-market to Clerken well-green, and thence right and
left to Islington and I3attle-bridge, praying the assistance of the
Corporation. A project of this kind was, it seems, in contem-
plation about 12 months ago, and a Committee wns then tbrmE d
to take the subject into consideration ; and by that Commit-
tee, or their Solicitors, Messrs. Knight and Fyson, a circular
had been sent to the Members of the Corporation, and others,
appointing a general meeting upon the business, to be held at
the Guildhall, yesterday, and by two o'clock rom 150 to 200
Gentlemen were assembled in the Old Court of King's Bensh,
which by the direction of the Lord Mayor had been prepared for
their reception. Mr. Alderman Wool) took the Chair ; and it
appeared from his statement that the committee had not found
that there was any legal objection to the plan, but recommended
a postponement of further proceedings until the removal of
Fleet-market should be in greater forwardness. After speeches
froM Mr. Alderman Waithman, Mr. Galloway, Mr..Vyson,
and other Gentlemen, the meeting adjourned without coming
to any resolution in furtherance of the object for which it was
convened,

Mr. ANDREWS stated the case to the Jury with.
great feeling.
Richard Cocket, examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS,
stated he was an assistant at the Rose and Crown,
Broad-street, St. Giles's ; he knew the deceased,
and on the night of Saturday the sth Feb., about,
half-past eleven, he came in with his wife, and,
drank some porter ; they appeared very friendly
and affectionate, but were rather intoxicated.
Mary Taylor deposed, that she lived in the,
same house with the prisoner and her husband,
and on tho night of the murder was going out,
when Mrs. Keaton called to her, and desired her
to drink some beer ; she did so ; and the de-
ceased also requested her to drink, which she did.
They were then sitting very composedly together,
eating beef steaks, and appeared rather elated with '
liquors. After being some time in his own room,
the witness heard loud talking in the prisoner's .
room ; it appeared they were quarrelling ; a
short time after witness heard a voice calling out
" Mary, the man is bleeding." On going down,
she found several persons in the room ; the ,
prisoner was kneeling by her husband's body,
and crying " Oh ! I have murdered my husband."
Witness returned to her own room ; the prisoner
appeared very much agitated ; they lived very
happily together.
John Taylor, husband to the last witness, de-
posed to the same effect.
Wm. Moore deposed that he lived opposite
Mrs. Keaton's, and about twelve o'clock at night
of the sth inst. the prisoner came over and
begged him, for God's sake, to go over and pacify
between her and her husband; she was then bleed-
ing at the nose profusely ; she said words had
happened between them: he went over, and on
entering the prisoner's room could not see any
person ; he came back, and with his wife en-
tered, the room, and the prisoner said, as he
went in, (C Oh, he must be looking for me,"
(meaning her husband) ; on looking about,
the witness saw the deceased lying on the
floor bleeding ; on the witness lifting him,
the deceased up, he appeared to breathe ; witness
rati to several places for medical advice but could
procure none; the prisoner was given into custody;
witness saw a sweeping-broom in the room, the
handle of which was broken in two.

Mary Moore, the wife of the last witness, gave
similar testimony.
Hardman and Harrington, two patrol, deposed
to taking the prisoner into custody, and the con-
fusion that prevailed in the room.

Several other witnesses were examined to s'-
milar facts.

Mr. Ager, the Surgeon, described the injuries
sustained by the deceased, and was of opinion hq.

matter of mere conjecture.
