ALLEGED MURDER OF A MAN BY HIS WIFE.—MafY

Ann Maids, a poor, wretched-lookaig woman, with a
child in her arms, was placed. before Mr. Bingham,
charged on suspicion of causing the death of Edward
James Maids, her husband, by stabbing him in the side
with a knife on Monday, the 28th ult., at No. 4, Tower•
street, Seven-dials.
Police Sergeant, 15 F, on being sworn, deposed that
' about a quarter to six o'clock that morning he was on
duty in Seven-dials. and received information that a man
had been murdered, ai No. 4, Tower-street. Witness
proceeded to the house, and.made inquiries, but could
not obtain any information of the circumstance. The
front door being open he entered the house, and pro-
ee(-ded up to the third floor front room. On knocking
.4t, the door a man came out, and in answer to witness's
inquiries said, that no person had been murdered in that
house, but that a man had been carried to Charing-cross

Hospital, suffering from a serious injury caused- by an
accident. Witness went to the hospital, and was
informed that a man named Edward James
Maids was admitted on Monday evening last, at half-
past five, and that he was suffering from a wound in his
right side, supposed to have been inflicted with a knife,
and that he had died from the effects of that wound on
Wednesday. Witness upon hearing that returned to
ir No. 4, Tower-street, and went up stairs and entered the
third floor front room, where he caw the prisoner in the
act of dressing herself. Witness retired outside till the
prisoner had completed her attire, and on entering the
room again, she was in the act of drinking something
from a glass. Directly she had drank she swooned away.
When she came to her senses, witness told her the nature
of the business that he had come about. The prisoner
replied, that " If she did do that, God would punish her
for it, but she did not know whether she had done it or
not." Witness then told her to be cautious what she
said to him. She did not afterwards allude to the sob.
ject. On searching the room, witness found the two
knives now produced. He also produced the surgeoll'e
certificate, of which the subjoined is a copy:—
" This is to certify that Edward Maids was admitted
into this hospital on Monday evening, at half-past five.
hating received a wound in the side, from the effects of
which by died on Wednesday, at half-past two o'clock
in the afternoon.

" House- Surgeon,
" Charing Cross hospital, July Ist, 1847!
Robert Knightsbridge said, he lodged in the same
house as the prisoner. He recollected hearing the noise
of prisoner and the deceased quarrelling, on Monde):
afternoon. He went upstairs, and saw the deceasee,
strike the prisoner and kick the child. Witness retire'
to his own room on the second floor, where he had Ile/
been many minutes before he heard the deceased cry °et
" Oh, Bob, come here." Witness subsequently saw the
prisoner come down stairs with a bloody knife in her,
hand. Witness became alarmed, and rushee
up stairs, hr.() the prisoner's room, where 138
saw the decease lying upon the child's bed, on the floor!
with a stream of blood flowing from a wound in his right
side. Witness immediately sent for a doctor, and her;
ing- procured some water, washed the wound. Ti!A
prisoner then entered the room, when the deceased sat
" I am innocent of what you charge me with, and I free
forgive you." Witness subst quently persuaded deceased
to be removed to the hospital, and previous to going'
the prisoner said she w..uld tell the surgeon that decease'
hid fallen over something and cut his side. The de.
ceased and the prisoner did not live happily together'
Witness once saw him throw her over the banisters,
and from what he had heard, he conjectured that jealous,'
was the cause of the prisoner's rash act.
The prisoner, who seemed absorbed in the deepest
sorrow, declined to say anything in answer to the charge'
Mt. BINGHAM remanded her till Monday next.

THE COLONIAL BISOPRICIL—Wednesday a meet
was held at the Hanover-square Rooms, for the 00'01
of raising funds to provide additional clergymen to
the four bishops recently appointed for Australia anagur
Cape. Lord Eldon, who has subscribed 1,0001. in the
therance of the object of the meeting, was voted to
pd
chair. The Bishop of Antigua, after a very lengthe 01
address, in which he contrasted favourably the preso,
with the past colonial episcopates, moved a resolutiol:,/
conded by the Rev. J. Anderson, to the following effee'io
" That the recent establishment of four bishopeics,,,ri'
the southern hemisphere, two to be supported bY r„r
vate munificence, ought to cause deep feelings of theLe
fulness on the part of the community, and also sti")
late their energies towards providing and Ti
porting clergymen for the new dioceses." ,j
resolution was carried unanimously. The Right 14°P;tog
Gladstone said he had no doubt that the we 0'
and the public would sympathise in the object contoo
plated, for he believed that they had a deep conviehet
of the importance of the relations between the ale"
be/ I
country and her colonies. These relations could be, 00,
kept up and strengthened by extending to the c°'.°o6
in every possible way the religious advantages e13J%01
at home. It was notorious that too much of our 044
and physical power was transmitted to the coloniest'.o3
ton little of the intellectual power which controls 'edf
guides the former. There could not be a better reftott
for this than the appointments which had recently ";,itr
made. The Right Hon. Gentleman proposed a res4lo
tion to this effect:—" That the meeting pledged Use' b$
strengthen the hands of the new colonial bishop 9 cot
aid,ng the society in providing additional clergymel3ol
them." Archdeacon Robinson and the Bishop of 01°00
having addressed the assembly, thanks were voted t°
noble chairman, and the meeting separated. (.4,00
