MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Lincoln, July 20.

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.)
MURDERS BY POISON.—Mary Ann Milner, a rather
interesting young woman, aged 27, was charged with the
murder of her muther-in•law, ...lary Milner, by poison.
Mr. Wildman and Mr. Dennison prosecuted ; Mr.
Miller defended the prisoner.

The prisoner and her husband lived at the village of
Barnathy-le- Wold, in this county, and were agricultural
lahourrs, or cotters. The deceased and her husbar.d
lived in the same village. It would seem the old people
were taken ill, and were recommended by the doctor
who attended them to take sago. It would seem that
during the time the mother and father-in-law were
taking the sago the prisoner was there, and had almost
the whole house to herself, and to one of the witnesses
she admitted having given the sago to the old people.
The mother died. The father survived, but has beco ne
paralytic. Suspicion having been excited by subsequent
circumstances, the body was exhumed, and the presence
of arsenic clearly detected. The prisoner was proved to
have purchased arsenic, but the facts were too slight to
warrant a verdict of guilty, and a verdict of Not Guilty
was returned.

The prisoner was then charged with the murder of
Hannah fiche's, being the wife of her brother.
Mr. Wildman and Mr. Dennison prosecuted ; Mr.
Miller defended.

It appeared that on the 30th of June the deceased
had eaten some pancake in the morning with the pri-
soner, and about ten o'clock she came into the kitchen
of one Mary Winter, stating she had been so eating the
pancake, and that she believed she was poisoned, and
should die, that the pancake had poisoned her. She
stated she had not taken any poison herself, and had
never had any in the house. Deceased, who appeared
to be in full possession of her senses, then left and went
to her own house, the witness followed, and found her
on her knees, violently sick, and saying the pancake
had poisoned her. She wished her husband to be sent
for, and he shortly afterwards arrived. This witness
proved that she was with the deceased at intervals
up to two o'clock of that day, and she continually
complained of her throat being very hot. Mary
Watson went and told the prisoner what Tickels
said about being poisoned by the pancake ;
whereupon she turned pale, her lips became
white, and she seemed almost unable to walk. The
prisoner went to the deceased, and said, " Oh, Hannah,
do you think that the pancake has caused you to be
so ? ' Tickels was unable to reply. She died about
six o'clock of the same evening. The first matter
vomited was thrown oway, but the witness thought what
was subsequently vomited should be preserved, and
told the prisoner so, but after the death of Tickels,
prisoner said it had got thrown away. Elizabeth Wat-
son proved that between eight and nine o'clock of the
day in question deceased came to her, and asked,
":Whether she had any one iu her house ?" she replied,
" No." Deceased said, " she would tell her something,
but she was not to tell any one." She then stated the
prisoner had come to her house and said, " Why, you
have no fire; I'll lay you have nothing warm this morn-
ing, and if she would go with her she (the prisoner)
would fry her a pancake. That she went and had the
pancake, but she b.-lieved the prisoner had put sonic-
thing in it, she felt so queer—that she would have left
a portion of the pancake, but a lodger was present, and
it would have looked unmannerly."
William Percival, a grocer in the same village, proved
that six it eight week, previous the deceased came for
a pennyworth of mi•rcury (white arsenic). He said it
was rather an awkward thing, but she appeared to be in
her right mind, and not likely to destroy herself. She
replica, " :)11 no, I want to kill some rats."
Jam«,s Burdet Moxon, a surgeon, proved the making
a post mort- m examination of the body, and gave it
as his opinion, that death was caused by arsenic, in
which opinion be was confirmed by Mr. Paleron, a sur-
geon, of Brigg. _

The jury returned a verdict of Gotlty, and sentence
of death .was passed upon her.
There was another indiLornent against her for the
murder of Ellen Tickels.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MA << SIO.N-HOUSE.

CHARGE oF, FORGERY.—WiIIiam H. G. Baugh, was
hroughs up for final examination upon the charge of
having forged a draft upon Coutt's bank for 2221. 15s.
6d., in the name of John Sidey Caley, of Brook street,
Brentwood.
Messrs. Bush and Muller, solicitors to the committee
of bankers for protection against forgeries and fraud,
attended for the prosecution.
The date of the draft was 7th April, 1847.
The following was the additional evidence in the case:
Mr. Charles Carne Lewis said—l am an attorney of
Brentwood, and am Coroner for the county of Essex.
Ile prisoner was in my service as a clerk until the day
of his apprehension. He entered my service in the month
of June, 1846, at a salary of 1001. a year. In April last
I was engaged for the parish of South Weald in an ap-
peal with the Eastern Counties Railroad against the as-
signment of the poor-rates of the parish, and a question
arose whether certain occupants of the parish were not
rated too low. in consequence of which I applied to
several occupants to let tne have their receipts for rent,
amongst others to Mr. Caley. I received from Mr.
Caley a letter containing two receipts. I have made
strict search for these documents and cannot find them.
I am not positively certain of the contents of the re-
ceipts. The prisoner had access to those documents, and
was partially engaged in the appeal. On the 13th of
April the prisoner left me at 'Thetford to go to Somerset
House to pass some accounts. The memorandum in
the pocket-book produced is in the prisoner's hand-
writing. I produce his disbursement book, in which is
an entry on the 13th of Apt it of one shilling, charged
as his omnibus fare to and from London. On the 29th
of April the prisoner applied to me for leave of absence,
which I gave him for a few days. Tee entry in the
pocket-book of the 30th of April is in his handwriting.
I don't recollect seeing him again until the 13th of May,
but I believe he was at my office on the 12th. He staid
away longer than the extent of my. permission. He said
it was on account of illness, and I understood he bad
been to Chester. (Here several entrit s were pointed out
to the witness, one of which was " 29th May, admitted
at Lin. Inn, paid 31/. 13s. fees," and be hutted his beih f
that they were all in the handwriting of the prisoner.
In his cross-examination, the witness said all the
clerks in his office had access to the receipts. The pri-
soner resided at Miss Carey's, Bramwell-cottage, Brent-
wood.
Mr. E. P. Frodsham, clerk in the North and South
Wales Bank ill Liverpool, s.,id—On the 10th May last a
person applied to me at the bank for a credit in Birming-
ham for 152/ in favour of Ernest Hawkins, Esq. The
person so applying handed to me the produced ticket
ready filled up, and said he could not have a credit in
Birmingham as we had no agent there, but he could
have a credit in London; that an order in London would
answer his purpose just as well, as it could be cashee
at Birmingham. Ile said it would do. He then gave
me Bauk of England nt.tes amounting to 1551., aid
deducted the 1521. and 7s. Bd. for commission, and gave
to the party 21, 12s 4.1. as the balance of the 155/
and altered the ticket, by strikng out " Birmingham anti
inserting London," and inserting the words " Ott de-
mand" at the top of ttie ticket of those given him. I-le
produced a draft on the London and Westminster B 1•11 r,
for the 152/. The hank re tes which Iso received, I de.
livered, together with the ticket, to Mr. R.Jones, another
clerk in the bank at Liverpool.
Tne bank notes received by the last witness for the
1521. draft on the London and Westminster Bank, now
proved to be one of those which had been indirectly
received in payment of the forgery, and were traced
through several hands, so that it was quite evident that
the perpetrator calculated upon escape, from the con-
fusion likely to arise from his ingenuity.
Mr. George Doudney said I am assistant to my father
in his business as a tailor, carried on at 49, Lombard-
street. The prisoner has been a customer of ours for
about twelve months. On the 14th of June last, I re-
ceived a 50/. note from Mr. Baugh, our foreman, in the
prisoner's presence. I took it to Messrs. Barclay and
Co. for change, and received ten 51. notes, and gave Mr.
Baugh nine of them, and the difference, between 31. 19.9.,
and the other 51. note he gave to the prisoner.
William Pearce, a person in the service of Mr.
Doudney, recollected that the prisoner called on the 13th
of April to pay his bill, observed that the prisoner had
a great deal more money in gold and bank notes. He
noticed the circumstance particularly, in consequence of
repeated applications having been made for the amount
of the bill, and an order having been refused to be exe-
cuted because the money was not paid.
Mr. W. Base said, I am a clerk to Messrs. Bush and

Mullens, of No. 7, St. Mildred's-court, Poultry, solicitors.
In consequence of information which I received on the
12th of July, I went to Messrs. Doudney's, and saw the
, prisoner in a cab at the door. I got into the cab, and
said,' I believe you are Mr. Baugh; it will be in your re
' collection that you paid to Mr. Doudney a 501. note.
After some hesitation he said, " Yes; I received two 50/
notes from a salesman." I said it is important that
we should know from whom you received the
notes ; they are indirectly the produce of a
forgery. I observed considerable hesitation about
him, and said, perhaps you would prefer giving your
explanation to Mr. Bush. He asked who Mr. Bush
was ? I said he is the solicitor to the Bankers' Associa-
tion. He then consented to go. I left the cab, and
John Forrester got in, and they drove away together.
Shortly afterwards I saw the prisoner at No. 7, St. Mil-
dred's-court. Mr. Bush, Mr. Dcudney, John Forrester
the prisoner, and myself, were present altogether. After
some preliminary observations respecting the forgery,
Mr. Bush cautioned the prison. r that what he might
say might be given in evidence against him ; and then
Mr. Bush said it was his duty to call upon him to ac-
c-unt for the possession of that 501. note. The prisoner
hes:Lded very much, and afterwards said, " I sent some
horses to Smithfield, and received 1001. for them. I
think he said he sent them from Brentwood. Mr. Bush
said he w,,,s bound to ask him the name of the party
who had given him the notes ? The prisoner returned ,
no answer, and was given into the custody of Forrester.
I afterwat.ds went to Brentwood to the house of a Miss
Casey, culled Bromwell cottage ; and in a sitting room
there fund a number of papers. Amongst which was
the bill producad, of Mr. William Douduey, for 31. 195.,
Mr. Lioudney's bill and receipt for 11/. 175., and a re-

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF BILL STEALING.—
George Ritnian, and Thomas 7 ally, an eating-housekeeper,
residing at No. 91, St. Martin's lane, were charged by
John William Sawyer, clerk to Messrs. Green and Co.,
notaries, Change-alley, Cornhill, with stealing a bill of
exchange for 22/. _ _

The —prosecutor stated that on the previous afternoon,
about ten minutes to five o'clock, he went to No. 91,
St. Martin's lane, to present a bill for payment of 221
He drew it from his case with a notice attached, and
presented the latter to a female, who went away with it,
and presently returned with the prisoner Ritman, vs ho
looked at the bill in his hands. Shortly afterwards the
prisoner Tully presented himself, and asked witness if
he had the bill in his possession, and if he would allow
him (Tully) to look at it, which he did, and the prisoner
took it in his hands, and after looking at it for a few
minutes threw it on the table, and said the writing was
not his, and it was a forgery. Witness then took hold of
the bill, and was in the act of raising it from the table,
when the prisoner Ritman snatched it from him, and
squeezed it up, and passed it to a female whom Tully
said was his wife, whe tore it,and subsequently gave the
fragments to Tully. Witness told them that they had
acted very wrong in tearing the bill. The prisoners
laughed at him, and said it was a swindling affair, and
told him to be off about his business. He then went for a
constable and gave the prisoners into custody.
In cross-examination the prosecutor stated that he did
not know whether it was the practice of bankers to pre-
sent bills before they were sent to a notary.
Mr. Green was employed by Mr. Whitfield, the owner
of the bill. Could not tell how many indorsements there
were on the back of the bill, but believed there might
be two.
The solicitor for the prisoner said, he had no further
creations to ask. He would merely state to the magis-
trate the brief facts of the case. Mr. Tully was keeping
an eating house in St. Martin's lane. Some few weeks ago
three well dressed men went to his house, and ordered a
dinner to be ready for them by four o'clock. They
afterwards left the house, and after being absent for a
couple of hours returned, and said that now they would
enjoy themselves, as they had sent the governor off to
a pigeon match at Chalk Farm. After partaking of
their dinner they proposed that Mr. Tully should join
them in a game of cards. He unfortunately consented,
and lost 81. and several bottles of wine. He drank a
portion of the wine, and speedily became in such a state
that he was easily induced to give a bill for the
amount he had lost at cards. He had never seen O'e
men since, nor did he know that the bill of exchaf4je
was out till it was presented by the complainant. It
was in a moment a excitement that Mr. Tully had acted
as he had done, as he knew that the bill had been ob-
tained from him in u fraudulent manner. He had no
further remarks to offer, but would leave the case in
the Magis: rate's hands.
Mr. BINGHAM said, whether the bill was a swindle or
a forgery, was not a question for him to decide. He
would propose that the prisoners, or some one on their
part, should replace th,., bid and give it to the com•
plainant, and that they should al-o reimburse Messrs.
Green for the trouble they had been at in presenting it.
It that was done he should discharge them.

The bill was subsequently pa,teclingether artd brough
into Court. and the expenses having been paid, the 1,1-1-
sorters were discharged.

CLERKE A' WELL.

John Ramsay, wh“, it will be ecolitcted, surrendered
kimself to the police on his own confession, was again
placed at the bar before Mr. Araold, charged with the
wilful murder of. Mr. 114 my Williams.
Evidence was taken at great length as to the occur.
rences of the night when Mr. Wiliiams received the
injuries that cau.,,d his d-ath, but notating definite was
prcved that tended to connect the prisoner with the
cr;me of which he accu-ed himself. Ultimately the case
was remanded for a week.

THAMES.
Caroline Ayres, a young woman about 20 years of
ate, was cha4-:ei before Mr. Yardley with stealing
various -urns of money belonging to her mister, Mr.
George Blake, landlord of the King of Prussia public-
house, in Cartwright-street, Rosemary lane.
Toe prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Blake as
bar-maid for ono year and nine months. Her wages
were only 81. per annum, besides board and lodging, and
when she entered hi r masier's service she was very poor
and p ,sseised of very little clothing. For some time
past Mr. Brake, who is a widower, and placed great
confidt ns..: in the prisoner, ascertained that his ncelpts
did not at all correspond in amount with the sale of
spirits, ale, and beer. He was slow to suspect any one,
and his losses continued to increase to an alarming ex•
tent. At last he began to entertain suspicions of his
bar-maid, and ascertained she was in the practice of
making large purchases, spending a good deal of
money, and that she was about to be married.

Having been informed by another woman in his
service that the prisoner had given her money
out of the till to make purchases for her, he called
in police-sergeant Eves, No. 14 H, and Chaplin, a con-
stable, No. 104 who commenced searching her boxes
and drawers.. While Eves was engaged in searching a
drawer in the prisoner's bed-room, she took a piece of
paper out of a box, and before he could stop her she put
it into her mouth, and made an attempt to swallow it.
Eves without any ceremony grasped her by the throat
and made her disgorge the paper. In doing so she was
nearly choked. After a great struggle he obtained pos-
session of it. The writing upon it was the prisoner's
own, and commenced thus, " Already bought, 201. 10s.
6d.," and then recited a list of various articles, including
a bedstead, bedding, table covers, Chinese ornaments,
vases, &c., recently purchased to the amount of 51. more.
Eves then continued his search, and found the prisoner's
boxes crammed with the most expensive articles of
wearing apparel, including a cardinal cloak of the best silk,
a new dress, five shawls, four cards of lace, and four hand-
some bonnets trimmed with the most elegant ribbons.
The other articles were of a miscellaneous description,
and their production exhibited sufficient proof ths t the
prisoner had made extensive preparations to go into
housekeeping with her intended husband on her own
account. Toe purchase of these go ale by the prisoner
could only have been effeoted by contin .ally robbing her
master, and the deficiency in his rec.,ipts was at once
accounted for. A large piece of calico was also found in
one of her boxes, and it appeared from the evidence of a
fellow-servant that a kw days the pi i,on-r took
ss. lid., in ballpehce, out of till and directed her to
purchase some calico and a pot!,e of strawheiri,s. A
bed, bolster, and two pillows, uhlch the prisoner bought
a few days ago, were deposited in a house next door to
the King of Prussia, end were taken p. issession of by the
police. The prisoner had not forgotten to purcha-e a
very hAndsotee 14dy's silver watch, and jewellery to
adorn her p.•rsoa, and the police laid their ruthless hands
ou this propery also, and would hot allow her the use of
the geld eardrops, brooch, tiny;, and ke.-per, which she
intended to wear for th- first time on her w.ddinv-day.
While Chaplin was looking over the ba.k kitchen he ob-
served the bride in expectancy cover a wet cloth over
the dresser. He raised it, and found tt silver water.
d at live guineas. The prisoner wished hi r maser,
th? police, and the magistsare, to believe that she was
enabled to make the exteasive purchases she had done
out of her wages-81. per year, but they were not so
credulous; they believed Mr. I.3:ake. till supplied her
with the money.
The prisoner, who treated the effair with much levity,
said she purchased the calico wish her master's money
for the use of the house.

Mr. Blake said he had never authorised the prisoner
;0 do anything of the kind.
Mr. YARDLEY remanded the prisoner for a week.
SOU IRWARK.

Mr. Sr-cker, one of the magistrates of this Court,
held a lung investigation in the lobby of the Queen's
Prison, relative to a charge of assault brought by
Hart Davis against Mr../. L. Barrotti, Captain Clarke,
Major Talfull, and Mr. Bean. All parties were prisoners
at the time.
Mr. Sims attended for the prosecution.

From the statement of the complainant, it appeared
that on the evening of Wednesday, the 14th, while on
the ground of the prison, he was suddenly attacked by
Barrotti and Clarke, who knocked him down and kicked
him severely. The other two defendants subsequently-
took part in the attack upon him, and continued to ill
treat him until he was rescued by some of the watch-
men and turnkeys. He was so much injured as to be
obliged to go to the infirmary for the night.
Mr. Parry, who appeared for the defendants, said that
he could prove that the complainant's statements were
very much exaggerated, and cross examined him with
th,- view of showing that his previous conduct had been
calculated to give great cause of provocation. He hoped
that the magistrate would deal summarily with the case,
and consider that an apology from Mr. Barrotti would
be sufficient reparation.
Mr. SECTIER having intimated that he should send the
case before another tribunal,
Mr. Parry said that he should not, in that case, call
his witnesses.

'rho charge was then referred to the next sessions, all
the parties being bound over to key the peace in the
meantime.

FORGED BANK OF ENGLAND INOTES.—Parties
would do well to be exceedingly careful in examining
Bank of England notes before they are taken, as there
are some forged notes now in circulation, of most
superior workmanship, and in which the resemblance to
the true notes is carried into the most minute particulars.
On Tuesday a note was returned to a gentleman in Man-
chester, stamped as forged, by the Bank of England,
which appeared from one of the endorsements on the
back to have previously passed through the well known
London bank of Robarts and Co. In this note, which
purported to be a Birmingham one, No. A. 05204, dated
April 14th, and signed " S. Roberts," not only were the
water mark and the lettering of the note imitated so
closely as to defy detection on a very cli se examination
by the unpractised, but there were even in the note some
of those minute dots in the letters of the word " Five,'
by the absence of which forged notes are sometimes de-
tected. The signature was an exceedingly close resem-
blance as to the form of the letters, though there were
some small differences between the flourishing in the
false signature and a real on, of Mr. Roberts's ; the
false signature was also in much darker iuk than the
true one. The only other variation that could be de-
tected was an exceedingly slight one in the border
tracing of the stamp in the corner of the note.—New-
castle Guardian.
