JUNE 55 1847.

Police-inspector Peters, on being called to the spot,
about two o'clock on Sunday morning, found the de-
ceased in a dying state, with his clothes saturated with
blood, which had flowed upon the ground in consider-
able quantities. Having looked to the deceased, he
entered Lockley's house and searched it with Inspector
Merrefield. The knife already spoken of was produced
by the witness Thomas, and witness asked Lloyd if it
belone•ed to him. He replied in the negative, but Mrs.
Lockley declared that it did, and said that she had bor-
rowed it of him frequently. On lookine, at the knife by
the light of a candle, witness found marks of blood upon
the handle and blade. Witness told Lloyd that, believing
he was the guilty party, he should take him to the sta-
tion-house, which he did. When at the station-house
be examined the prisoner very minutely, and found
three spots of blood on the back of his right hand, and
a stain of blood on his waistcoat. The blood on his
hands was quite dry, and two of the spots were as large
as a fourpenny piece. The prisoner said he did not know
how he got the blood upon him. There were marks of
blood on Lockley's front door.
Mr. Bradley, surgeon, of Kidderminster, deposed to
the nature of the wound in the deceased's throat. The
wound was a clean cut wound, nearly three inches long
by two deep, and upwards of an inch wide. The external
carotid artery was completely severed, as were also the
external jugular vein and four other arteries and veins
in the neck. The body on examination was in a most
healthy condition, but quite drained of blood in all its
parts. There could be no doubt that death had been
caused by the wound in the neck, which was sufficient to
have caused death in three minutes. The knife pro-
duced by inspector Peters might have inflicted the inju-
ries of which the deceased died. The knife is sharp, and
must have been used with considerable force by the
party by whom the wound was inflicted.
Other witnesses were at hand, but the jury said it was
unnecessary to call them, as they were quite satisfied.
The CORONER then addressed the jury on this shock-
big case, and pointed out the distinction between the
crimes of murder and manslaughter. He also read over
the whole of the evidence, and

The jury having retired for a few minutes, returned a
verdict of " Manslaughter" against Lloyd, who, accord-
ingly, stands committed for trial at the Worcester as-
sizo, to be held next month.

THE MURDER IN MARYLEBONE.
INQUEST ON THE BODY.
Last evening, at six o'clock, a most respectable jury
was empannelled before Mr. Mills, deputy-coroner for
the western division of Middlesex, at the Carpenters'
Arms, Adam-street West, Bryanston- square, to investi-
gate the circumstances connected with the death of Mary
Stowell, the aged woman alleged to have been murdered
by a woman named Mary Ann Hunt, on the night of
Tuesday last.
The jury having viewed the body, which lay in the
back kitchen of the house, No. 40, Adam-street West,
the evidence was entered into.
Charles Battersby, police-constable 124 D, was first
sworn. He said, on the morning of Wednesday last, I
found the deceased dead in the back kitchen of the house,
No. 40, Adam-street West, at about a quarter-past five
o'clock. About a quarter-past four on the same morn-
ing, I was passing through Adam-street West, and saw
a woman, named Mary Ann Hunt, put her head outside
the street door of No. 40. She had her bonnet en, and
the moment she saw me she drew her head back and
closed the door. I thought this looked suspicious, and
I concealed myself. About a quarter before five the same
woman came out with two bundles ; but seeing me she
threw the bundles in again, and then went in and shut the
door. Shortly after the door was opened, and I got
my hand in, and forced it open. I then saw Mary Ann
Hunt in the passage, and said "Do these bundles belong
to you?" She said" Yes." I said she was not an honest
woman, or she would not have tried to avoid the police.
She said she lived up stairs with an old lady, and I could
ro up and see if I liked. She went up a few stairs, and
said "I suppose it is no use telling you a lie." I said
" No, nor a thousand, unless I see the old lady." She
then said she lodged with the old lady in the front
kitchen. I went down stairs with her, and she said, "It
is no use knocking, she is as deaf as a stone." I went
into the area, and on looking through the window, saw
the room was quite empty. I said, " This is the second
lie you have told me, when are we to come to the truth?
As we passed back towards the back kitchen door, my '
shoulder touched it, and she then said, "You have come
to the truth now, but don't say I did it, for I haven't
seen her since last night." The woman Hunt had a reti-
cule on her arm, and sne took a pound's worth of silver
from it, and said she would give it me if I would let her
go. I said, " I was suspicious before, but I am confi-
dent now that something is wrong." I then took her up
to the person who lived in the shop, and she identified
the woman as living with the deceased in the back
kitchen. I then took her down stairs again, and after
knocking at the door without effect, I went into the
yard to look in at the window, and whilst I was doing
so the accused endeavoured to escape by means of a
water-pipe on to the wall, but I prevented her. She
then asked to go into the closet, and I allowed her, but
as she tried to shut the door, I looked in, and found her
trying to strangle herself. I then took her up, and
having given her into custody of another constable, I
went down stairs and got into the back kitchen by
means of the window. I then discovered the body of
the deceased lying with her head under the grate, with
the rope I now produce tied tightly six times round her
neck. I found a great deal of blood on my hands, and
then saw her face was covered with blood. It appeared
to me, from the deceased's hands being up, that she
had struggled very much. Her cap was by her side.
Saw the m-rks of a severe blow on the left jaw, appa-
rently inflicted with a poker or some such instrument.
Her hair was completely saturated with blood. After
the discovery. I ran up stairs, and having sent the
woman Hunt to the station-house, I sent for Mr. :a oat,
a surgeon, who came in a few minutes. The person who
committed the act must have got out of the kitchen win-
dow as the door was locked, and I found the key under
the body. There was no money in the room, but I have
two watches, a brooch, ring, and other trinkets, which I
found in deceased's pockets, and her daughter has iden-
tified them as the deceased's property. On examining
the woman Hunt at the station I found that the gown
she had on at the time I took her into custody was
covered with blood. It was stained on the left arm to
the extent of three or four inches. There were
several spots of blood on the breast and front of the
gown. Her hands were clean, and there was an appear.
ance as if she had attempted to wash some of the blood
from the wrist of the gown.
The witness here produced the poker, which was
covered with blood and hair, as also the clothes of the
accused, for examination by the coroner and jury.
Susannah Nisbett examined—l reside at No. 40,
Adam-street West. I last saw the deceased alive about
three o'clock on the afternoon of Tuesday. I was then

in the yard, and deceased was on the kitchen stairs
She then appeared as usual. The woman Mary Ann
Hunt lived with the deceased, and was, I believe, a ser-
vant out of place. She had lived ten or eleven weeks
as a fellow-lodger with the deceased. I last saw Hunt
about nine o'clock on Tuesday night, coming along the
passage from the kitchen stairs. She held down her
head and appeared ashamed. I beard Hunt quarrelling
with the deceased on Monday night, and in the course of
it I heard one of the voices, which I believe to be Hunt's,
say, "I will do for you."
Sarah Sinclair, another lodger in the house where the
murder took place, stated, that she did not see deceased
alive after three o'clock on Tuesday. About half-past
nine o'clock I saw the accused, Mary Ann Hunt, lying
on the kitchen stairs. I had a conversation with the
deceased at three o'clock on the Tuesday afternoon. De-
ceased asked me if I heard her quarrelling over night
with Hunt, as she was afraid to go to bed, as Hunt
said she would do for her. I advised her to lock Mary
Ann Hunt out, and we then parted.
The witness Nisbett was recalled, and in answer to a
question, stated, that she had heard the accused, Hunt,
stay that she knew the deceased was an old miser, and had
zot plenty of money in that drawer, pointing to one in
the kitchen.
Elizabeth Wills, the daughter of the deceased, stated
that she took tea with her mother on Sunday, when she
said she wanted to get rid of Hunt as a lodger, as she
would have a man come and visit her. She said she
became acquainted with Hunt at Colonel Wyndham
Smith's, where she had been at service, and having left
her place, she took her to lodge with her. She had seen
her mother take money from a drawer in the kitchen.
Constable Battersby said he found the drawer in ques-
tion open with a key in it, but it was perfectly empty.
Another daughter of deceased said, her mother had
told her she was saving a little money to bury herself
decently. She was 78 years of age.
Mr. Hayman said, I am the landlord of the house,
No. 40, Adam-street West, but reside at 43. I was calle
in on Monday evening on account of the quarrel betweed
Hunt and deceased. The deceased said Hunt had been
abusing her because she asked for her rent. On speak_
ing to Hunt she said deceased was acovetous old wretch
and would not lend her daughter 6d., although she had
plenty in that drawer, pointing to a drawer in the'
kitchen, and that she had seen it.
Mr. W. Crofton Moat—l reside at 28, Upper Berke-
ley-street, and at half-past five o'clock on Tuesday morn-
ing I was called to see the body. It was stone cold, and
the limbs were rigid. Blood was flowing from the nose
and mouth. I found the cord produced tied six times
round the neck, but it was not tight enough to produce
strangulat;on. My impression is that the deceasedof the
had
been dead about eight hours. I have, by
order
Coroner, made a post mortem examination. Externally
blood bad' flowed over the chest and right arm, and the
head laid in a pool of blood. On the right side of the
scalp there was a mark of violence,
_ but the skull was
sound. Great eochymosis existed around the right eye;
the eye was prominent, caused b
of y a
an severe
inch bruise
tongue projected three •q
gums. beyond the
gums. The marks on the neck did not indicate
Chet the cord was tight. Under the left side of
tthe jaw there was ecchymosis extending from the
chin to the angle. A similar mark was near the
spinal vertebra. The ribs on both sides were
very extensively fractured, indeed broken quite
through. There was great congestion of the vessels
of the chest around the fractures. The rings of the
windpipe were fractured by violence and the trochee was
gorged with blood. The lungs were crushed by the
fractured ribs. The cause of the deceased's death was
the rush of blood into the air vessels of the lungs, caused

by the crushing in of the ribs upon them. The ribs
might have been broken in by stamping with the feet,
but I should think it was done by a larger surface. I
believe that she was first injured over the right eye by
an instrument at least two inches in circumference. I
do not think the poker produced was the weapon used.
I have no doubt that death has been produced from the
crushing in of the chest. I have seen the gown prodnced,
and I have no doubt the spots on them are marks of
blood.

Elizabeth Quarterman proved that the cord produced
as the part of a clothes-line she had placed along the
passage of the kitchens in the house where deceased
resided.

There being no further evidence, some discussion en-
sued between the Deputy-Coroner and jury as to the non-
production of the accused before the court.
The DEPUTY-CORONER then proceeded to sum up the
evidence, and the jury, after a short deliberation, re-
turned a verdict of" Wilful murder" against Mary Ann
Hunt, and the Deputy-Coroner issued his warrant for
her committal to Newgate.
The inquiry did not terminate until a late hour.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ROLLS' COURT, June 4.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. GILBERT.-.- KING EDWARD'S GRAND.

MAR-SCHOOL LN BIRMINGHAM.

The ArroarieY-Gexenat replied to-day at considerable
length in this case. The matter came before the
Court upon an ex-officio information filed by her Ma-
jesty's Attorney-General on the recommendation of the
Charity Commissioners, made so long ago as September,
1835, for the purpose of settling a scheme for the administra-
tion of a charity, to set aside certain leases of the charity
property alleged to have been improperly granted, to take
an account of the profits accruing to the lessee in respect of
the property, and for the application of the income, as to part
thereof at least, in a manner different from the present usage.
From the statement of Counsel, it appeared that a Mr. John
Milward, who was born in Birmingham, received part of his
education at Brasenose College, Oxford, and resided for a con-
siderable period of his life in Haverfordwest, being desirous of
bestowing some tatting benefit on those three places, inserted a
provision for that purpose in his will, bearing date the 10th of
June, 1654. The clause was to this effect :—And in respect of my
estate, with the appurtenances in Bordesley, in the county of
Warwick, now let for a term to Michael Hunt, at the rent of
26/. a year, and all my right in the house and premises with
the appurtenances, in the town of Birmingham, called the Red
Lion, I devise the same to the bailiff of Birmingham for the
time being, the principal of Brasenose College, Oxford, for the
time being, and the mayor of the town and county of Haver-
fordwest, and their successors, to hold the same to the uses
hereinafter mentioned; as to the first two years after my
decease, that the rent of the estate be paid by Michael
Hunt to my executrix, for the five daughters of Jenkins
Howell, of Haverfordwest, and for the residue of the term,
81. 13s. 4d., one-third part of the annual rent, to be paid to
Michael Hunt, by the direction of the bailiff, to the school
of Birmingham, for the maintenance and use of the school.
master, 81. 13s. 4d., by a like direction of the mayor, &c.,
to the school at Haverfordwest, for the schoolmaster, and
8/. 13s. 4d. to Brasenose College, Oxford, for the part main-
tenance and education therein of a scholar to be placed or
sent there by the schools of Birmingham and Haverfordwest
in turns; and the income of the Red Lion to be applied in
three equal shares for the use of the college and the schools.
And after the expiration of the existing lease of the estate in
Bordesley, the same as well as the Red Lion was to be let at
an improved rent by fine or otherwise, so that a rent of 26/.
he always reserved as before, and if a fine be taken,
that it be equally for the schools and the college.
And the testator appointed Elizabeth Thomas his execu-
trix. After the death of the testator the trusts of the
will were carried out in this way. The principal of
Brasenose College, the mayor of Haverfordwest, and the
schoolmaster of Birmingham, leased the property at first
together, and afterwards separately, and the rents and
profits were received by them and divided equally, and
ultimately, when they began to lease separately, each re-
ceived his own share. The schoolmasters of Birmingham
and Haverfordwest, however, each received the entire of the
one-third of the proceeds, but the college retained their one-
third for their own use, except the sum of 8/. 13s. 4d., which
they paid to a scholar when there actually was one sent up
by the schools, but which they also retained for their own
use when there was no scholar. After the parties began to
make leases separately of their respective shares, which was
as far back at all events as 1710, the leases were for a tern
of twenty-one years, at a rent of 261., renewable every seven
years on payment of a fine. This continued till
the year 1762, in which year the mayor of Ha-
verfordwest granted a lease for ninety-nine years, at 881.
a year, the Birmingham School and the College con-
tinuing to let as before. In 1829 the Birmingham School
granted a renewal of the lease of their third, at a fine
of 158/. 175., and in 1838, Dr. Jeune, the then master,
agreed with Mr. Taylor, the lessee, for the renewal of
that lease, but subject to the approbation of the Court,
the information having been filed. Dr. Jeune had
got the appointment of Dean of Jersey, and, there-
fore, wished to exercise his right to renew before leav-
ing the school. The information sought to establish the
right of the scholar sent from Birmingham or Haverford-
west to the whole of the one-third profits of the estate,
whether in the shape of rents or fines, and of course to de-
prive the college of the beneficial interest therein; but it
did not propose to disturb the application of the funds
as regarded the schools, the whole, in fact, being en-
joyed by the masters. The information also sought to set
aside the leases of 1762, of 1829, and of 1838, and to
take an account of the profits accruing to Mr. Taylor.
It was stated that the property was worth 4001. a year,
and that Mr. Taylor had a profit of 3501. a year.
The MASTIC& of the Row" at the conclusion of the Attor-
ney-General's reply to-day, postponed giving judgment, in
order to afford all the parties an opportunity of seeing whether
or not some arrangement could be come to among them.
The case was ultimately ordered to stand over to the 11th
of the present mouth.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, June 4.
(Sittings in Banco.—Trinity Term.)
IN THZ MATTER OF THOMAS SINNING.
Mr. PASHLEY moved, this morning, that Thomas Kinning,
brought up out of custody on a writ of habeas corpus, ob-
tained yesterday, be forthwith discharged. The prisoner
had been committed to custody for the non-payment of an
instalment of a debt owing by him, and which he was or-
dered to pay off by instalments, after hearing the statement
of his circumstances, by one of the judges of the County
Courts. The Bth and 9th Victoria, chap. 127, sec. 1, gives
power to the judge to commit a debtor to prison for not
more than forty days for any fraud, or concealment of his
ability to pay, and for non-payment of such instalments of
the debt as, after hearing the case, the judge may deem him
to be capable of paying. In the applicant's case he failed to
pay an instalment of his debt thus ordered to be paid; and
on proof of this, to the satisfaction of the judge ex parte by
the creditor, the applicant was committed to gaol. The
Learned Counsel now raised several technical objections to
the sufficiency of the warrant of commitment; and also
urged as the chief ground why the prisoner should be dis-
charged, that before any such commitment, on default of
paying an instalment, the prisoner was entitled to be heard,
because the punishment to be awarded was discretionary, the
statute enacting that it should not be "more than forty
days," and he might be able to show a sufficient reason to the
judge to excuse the default or to mitigate the punishment.
This was the chief argument relied on, and it is not neces-
sary, the judgment being founded on this, to notice the other
objections.
Mr. P&TERSDORFF, on behalf of the creditor or a party
interested, contended that this was not a penal enactment,
but a power given to the creditor, suspended on the perform-
ance of the condition of payment. It gave the creditor a
limited ca. sa. against the debtor. An arrest of a debtor on
an ex parte statement was not unusual. An arrest on mesne
process was always on ex parte statement ; for notice to the
debtor would defeat the whole object of the creditor in mak-
ing the application to ajudge for the warrant. So notice here
to the debtor might have the same effect. He might abscond
and avoid the arrest.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, the Court had looked very,
anxiously at the question which had arisen on this part of
the statute, it having come before another Court, which had
not been able to come to a satisfactory conclusion upon it,
the very Learned Judges of that Court differing as to the
construction of the statute. The Court thought that this
return was not sufficient, and that the defendant was en-
titled to be discharged by reason of the insufficiency of the
warrant under which he was taken into custody. This sta-
tute was to a considerable extent penal, because it gave a
power of imprisonment not by way of satisfaction of the debt.
If a party was taken upon a capias ad satisfaciendum the im-
prisonment suffered under that writ was a satisfaction of the
debt; but here it was simply used apparently by way
of punishment or coercion, and the party was sub-
jected to an imprisonment which was to vary accord-
ing to the circumstances of his particular case. It
appeared ,by the section in question that, if a party
wished to enforce payment of his debt, be was to apply
to some one of the Courts for an order on his debtor.
The debtor was to be summoned, and an inquiry was
to take place on certain matters. One of those matters
was the debtor's means of payment, and the judge was to
exercise a discretion as to the time for the payment of the
debt, which was to be regulated by the means of the debtor
to pay ; and the judge had the power of imprisonment for
the concealment of those means or for failure of pay-
ment ; but that was not a satisfaction of the debt, it was
a punishment. If a judge found that a debtor had the
means to pay and would not pay, the judge had the
power of committing him. It was obvious that it was
material at all times to know when the debtor had the
means of payment. The general purview of the Act seemed
to be this, that it was inhuman to send a man to prison for
non-payment of his debt when he had not the means ofpay-
pay-
ing it, reserving power to punish him for fraudulently
with-
holding the debt if he had the means of paying
it.

justice seemed to re-
When, therefore, the Act distinctly pointed to an inquiry of
some kind, as it must be taken to do when it made the
period of imprisonment discretionary, it seemed on general
principles that the parties should be heard. The Court
thought that the safest rule of construction was, that a
debtor should have notice before he was committed.
The Court found the statute based altogether on the
principle that the debtor should not be imprisoned who had
not the means of payment. He thought, therefore, that the
warrant was defective, and that the prisoner was entitled to
his discharge.
Their Lordships severally gave judgments concurring with
that of the Lord Chief Justice.
The priaoner was, therefore, ordered to be discharged.
