LORD DENMAN'S JUDGMENT.
DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER.
" Tho question was whether the marriage of a man to
his deceased wife's sister was void by the law of Eng-
land, because, if so void, the acquittal of a •man for
bigamy, after the marriage of his deceased wife's sister,
and during the life of the said wife's sister, was proper,
and ought not to be interfered with."—Newspaper re-
port of Lord Denman's judgment, " The Queen v
Chadwick."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION -HOUSE.
William Henry Capper, collector of rents to
Thomas Flight, of Bond-court-house, Walbrook, was
brought before the Lord Mayor upon the charge of
having embezzled money.
The LORD Alevon said he should adjourn the case
until next Wednesday.
•
The prisoner was then remanded.
James Loop, one of the persons charged with Gar-
dener and Holliday with having defrauded Mr. Gray
of cordage to a very considerable amount, and who
absconded on Tuesday from his bail, was brought up
in the custody of Kibblewhite, 645, who apprehended
the whole gang.
The trial of Loup was, it was stated, to have taken
place on the preceding day, at nine o'clock, but Loup
and, Cassell (the latter of whom was- also included in
the indictment), did not appear when called in the
Central Criminal' Court. Kibblewhite apprehended
Loup about four or five hours afterwards.
Upon being put to the bar, Loup admitted that he
was the man referred to in the warrant.
He was at once sent to the Central Criminal Court.
1301 V-STREET.
Mrs. Williams, the matron of the Mendicity So-
ciety, was charged with cruelly beating and kicking
a boy, named Maurice Welsh, aged 13, and thereby
endangering his life.
Mr. Ferguson, chief clerk to the society, attended
to hear the case, and stated that the defendant had
held the situation of matron for fifteen years without
any previous complaint against her.
The boy's sister, an Irish girl, stated that she and
her brother were employed by the society to pick
oakum, in a room set apart for that purpose. The boy
gave some offence to the woman who distributed the
food, upon which she complained to the defendant,
who rushed upon him in a violent manner, knocked
him down, and kicked and beat him with a cane
while lying on the ground. The boy screamed for
help, and on being taken up fainted away. He was
afterwards removed to the King's College Hospital.
A certificate from the house surgeon of the hospital
proved that the boy was suffering from a concussion
of the brain and other injuries, and that his life was
in danger therefrom.
Several other Irish women, all dependent on the
Mendicity Society, and present at the time of the
oecurrence, admitted the ill-treatment of the boy, but
gave their evidence with a reluctance which clearly
showed their anxiety to avoid displeasing " the
Missus," as they termed the defendant.
Mary Ann Shuter, who distributed the food, said
that the boy knocked some bread and cheese out of
her hand and spat in her face, upon which she com-
plained;of his conduct to Mrs. Williams, who did no
more than just push him down and stamp her foot
upon him, as any one else might do, without
hurting him. She only stamped upon his legs.
The boy cried very loudly and made a great noise,
but witness did not believe he was much hurt. Some
women went and fetched the cane, and the defendant
certainly did strike him with it once or twice while
he was on the ground, but not to hurt him much.
When the boy got up he walked to his sister, and
might have partially fainted; but if he did, Witness
believed it was through passion more than anything
else. She saw his face washed in water. Witness
had heard that the boy was much hurt, but it must
have been with the fall, as the defendant could not
have caused it. She believed that Mrs. Williams sent
for the doctor herself.
Bridget Daly did not think Mrs. 'Williams hurt the
boy much. She had a "mighty way" of " pushing
you" by the shoulders, and this was how the boy
came to fall ; but she believed he onllnretednded
)fainting. The boy cried "Murder,"
11. eat noise, and "Missus" threatened to thrash a
with the cane, which she did. She also kicked him
with the top of her toe when he was down, but not tom
hurt him.
Mary Brian corroborated most of the evidence of
the boy's sister, and said she believed the boy had been
" sarcy" to the woman who gave out the food.
The defendant denied that she had used any unne-
cessary violence, although greatly provoked by the
boy's refractory conduct. The Court little knew
what these boys were. She reminded his Worship
that she was the first to send for a doctor when she
found how the boy was hurt.
Mr. Itercar said, there had been rhuch violence
used in correcting the boy, as was admitted on all
sides ; and, as he was lying in a dangerous state, he
should remand the case for a week. his Worship
consented to admit tbo defendant to bail.
