LAW INTELLIGENCE:,
COURT OF EXCREQUER, Feb. 4.
(Sittings before the LORD CHIEF BARON and Special

Juries.)

CUSTOMS CASES-THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. LUNDY.

This was an- information, on the part of the Com-
missioners of her Majesty's Customs, to recover from
the defendant penalties to the amount of 4091., for
having in his possession a quantity of tobacco, upon
which the duty had not been paid. The case was
part heard yesterday.
The principal evidence adduced in support of the
Crown was that of a person who stated that
he had been engaged for several years in
contraband dealings in tobacco. That having
been unfortunate upon several occasions in land-
ing the tobacco, he resolved once more to have
another "try," and stated that he informed the defen-
dant, a tobacconist of Hull, of his intention, who told
him that he would be happy to take any quantity that
he might be able to delivqr him. The tobacco in
question was safely landed, and was for some time
concealed in a field under some heaps of manure, from
which it was conveyed, at various times, in cabs and
other vehicles, to the premises of the defendant in
hull, who acknowledged the re cuipt of the various
bales from time to time, and who paid witness for the
same.

This witness, it appeared, was convicted upon a
previous occasion for the offence, and was undergoing
imprisonment for the same at the time he gave the
information to the authorisies of the Custom-house
with respect to the defendant, and in consequence of
this information the remainder of his sentence had
been remitted.

Mr. Burton, a person in the employ of the de•
fendant, and several other witnesses, were called to
corroborate the evidence of the' former witness.

Mr. Sergeant ALLEN, on the part of the defendant,
made a most eloquent and amusing speech on the
part of the defendant. He contended that there was
no evidence which at all affected the defendant,
except that which was given by persons implicated in
the transaction, and who were equally liable to
an information as the defendant. Their evidence
was, upon that account, to be received with the
utmost caution. He claimed, therefore, upon the
part of the defendant, a most patient investigation
into the nature of the evidence deposed to by these
witnesses. The peculiar nature of the process on the
part of the Crown precluded him from calling any
evidence to rebut that which had been brought against
the defendant, as he was not aware until he heard it
what the nature of the evidence would be upon which
the Crown relied in this case. Tt,e long period of two
years which had elapsed since the alleged
transactions took place, and the commencement of
the proceedings, also placed a difficulty in the way of
the defendant meeting by counter-evidence the
statements of the witnesses on the part of the Crown.
He most earnestly trusted that the jury would well
weigh the evidence of the various witnesses, and if
they had the slightest doubt upon the subject, give
their verdict in favour of the defendant.

Sir F. THESIGER addressed the jury on behalf of
the Crown, and _ _

The LORD CIIIEF BARON having summed up with
great minuteness,
The jury, after half an hour's deliberation, returned
a verdict for the Crown, finding the single value of
the tobacco received by the defendant to have been
4001. 10s.

BAIL COURT, Feb. 4.
(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice DEN-
MAN, ]lr. Justice PATTNSON, and Mr. Justice
ERLE.)

The jury, after a :ew minutes consultation, returned
a verdict of Guilty, with a strong recommendation to
the mercy of the Court on the ground that the pri-
soner had received deep provocation.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON then passed sentence of death
upon the prisoner in the usual form, promising that
the recommendation of the jury should be transmitted
to the proper quarter, but holding out no hope that
it would be entertained.

The prisoner was removed from the dock in a
fainting state.

NEW COURT.

(Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK and Aldermen
SIDNEY and Sir C. MARSHALL.)
Two youths, named Elson and Elderkin, were in-
dicted for stealing ten bagatelle balls, the property of
James Willis, landlord of the Nag's Ilead public-
house, St. John•street, Clerkenwell.
It was clearly shown that the prisoners went into
Mr. Wiliis's bagatelle room, the halls being on the
boar-•' (au odd one being on the mantle shelf), a few
minutes previously. They did not remain long, and
immediately after they left, the balls were all missed.
No other persons had been in the room. The balls
had not been traced.

The Learned CommtssioNEß left it to the jury to
say whether they were satisfied that the prisoners stole
the balls.

The jury found the prisoners Guilty.
It was then proved that _Elderkin bad been before
convicted of stealing bagatelle balls in the same man-
ner, and that Elson had been "out of the way," in
consequence of his being charged with stealing a 104
cheque and five sovereigns.
Elderkin was sentenced to be transported for seven
years, and Elson to be kept to hard labour for twelve
months.

A female named Westwood was indicted for stealing
four sovereigns and two 5/. Bank of England notes,
from the person of a merchant seamen named Wil-
liam Dawson. _ _

The case depended upon a question as to the iden-
tity of the prisoner.
The prosecutor deposed that he met her in Rat-
cliffe-Ingh,A ay. A few minutes before his money
was safe, but he found it gone directly the prisoner
had left him. As no one else had any opportunity
to rob him, he described her to the police. She was
apprehended a week afterwards, when a boy named
Sterne recognized her as the woman who was with
the prosecutor at the time of the robbery.
For the defence Mr. Payne called a man named
Singleton, who swore that on the night in question
he was with the prisoner at a theatre from half past
five till eleven at night, so that she could not have
robbed the prosecutor at half• past eight.
Mr. Ryland having replied,
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said this was a very
bad case. The sentence was, that the prisoner be
transported for seven years.

they expre7sed similar opinions to those of Dr. South
wood Smith.

Mr. PARRY concluded the plaintiff's case by calling
twenty-four cif the inhabitants of Hattield•street,
and other streets contiguous to the defendant's pre-
mises, who deposed that their health and property had
been considerably injured by the existence of the
nuisance.

Mr. BALLANTINB then addressed the jury for the
defence. tie contended at great length that the
business of a scavenger was necessary for public
accommodation, and that the defendant had carried
on his business in a proper manner, and he was
prepared to show by conclusive evidence, that the
emanations from these yards were not injurious to the
health, and that the illness complained of on the
other side arose from other causes. The Learned
Counsel then quoted from the writings of Dr. Wat-
son, Mr. Thackory (on the health of different trades
and occupations), the French p-..ysicians Palliseer and
Pinard, and Professor Dirngissen, an American author,
to show, that in the opinion of these men, these places
were not injurious to the health, and that the emana-
tions from depots of decoinposed vegetable and animal
matter were not dangerous.
Mr. PRENTICE proceeded to examine witnesses this
morning, and called about twenty dust contractors
and nightmen, who said that they-had been born in
the dust yard, and spent the-whole of their lives in
the business. Each of these declared that he never
was sick, and some said their wives and families were
healthy, and it scarcely cost them more than eighteen
pence a year fur medicine.
William Augustus Guy, physician of King's Col-
lege Hospital, deposed in minute detail to the follow-
ing facts. He said that he had directed his attention
to the public health, and to the influence of scaven-
gers' yards, in consequence of this case. He first
went to the place in ()etcher last, and subsequently
visited it five times, and examined the premises. lie
walked carefully over the yard, and over heaps of
ashes, and found no disagreeable smell. He also
found liquid matter, and did not take notice of any
smell. The only source of disagreeable smell was
occasioned by the refuse of breweries, such as hops
and grains, which when mixed with other matter
for the purpose of rotting them, had a sour smell,
but net to that degree to occasion sickness, or mate-
rially to injure health.
Dr. John Ryan, Professor of Chemistry in the
Royal Naval and Military College at Portsmouth,
had given much of his time and attention to subjects,
connected with the sanitary condition of crowded
localities, and he examined the contents of tho &Am-
dant's premises. The smell was not more offensive
than the contents of a farm yard.
Mr. Parry replied, and the Judge summed up.
The jury having retired, remained absent for about
half an hour, and then returned into Court with a
verdict against the defendant.
Mr. PARRY then addressed tl..e Court, and said it
was not the desire of the parish to inflict punishment
upon the defendant, or even to have him fined ; but
merely to have the nuisance abated.
The COURT then directed the defendant to enter
into his own recognizances in 801., and two sureties
in 401. each, to come up for judgment on the 30th
of March next. This was to give him time to pro-
vide another place, and to remove the nuisance com-
plained of.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

By the last general consolidated order of the com-
missioners, amongst the defined duties of the re-
lieving officers is one to the effect that they are to
relieve all applicants in urgent distress ; and another,
that they are to obey the orders of the guardians ;
and the penalty for disobedience to the rules and
orders is, by the 98th section, declared to be W. for
the first offence, and 20/. for the second.
Ann Desmond summoned Mr. Miller for refusing
to admit her and her two children into the workhouse
according to an order made by the board in her
presence.
Mr. Miller admitted the clerk had a minute of such
an order, but pleaded that subsequently he discovered
that she had told a lie to the board by calling herself
a widow on some previous occasion, and had stated
that a boy already in the house was her nephew, when,
in fact, he was her son.

It appeared she was a person of good character ge-
nerally, and was deserted by her husband.
Mr. Alderman Gums acquitted Mr. Miller of a
wilful disobedience of the order, but required him to
admit the applicant, as she was now in distress.
Mr. Miller promised to obey.
LAMBETH.

Mr. ll'illiainßarizett, landlord of the Crooked Billet
public-house, in Johnson's-change, Rosemary-lane,
was brought up in custody of Inspector Campbell and
Sergeant Kendall, of the P division of police, and
placed at the bar before Mr. Norton, on a charge of
concealing the birth of an infant of which a young
woman named Sarah Davey, his barmaid, had been
delivered in his house.
The prisoner had been taken into custody in con
sequence of the complaint of the father of the young
woman Davey, and, the unsatisfactory account given
by the prisoner and his sister of the disappearance of
the infant and the death of its mother.

The brief facts of the case are these :—The young
woman, Sarah Davey, who had lived in the prisoner's
service for three years, was removed from his house
on last Wednesday fortnight to the house of his sister,
4, Cork-street, Camberwell. On the following day
Mr. Smith, a medical practitioner, was called in, and
attended her up to her death, which took place on
Sunday last, and he gave a certificate, alleging that
her death had been occasioned by erysipelas. Mr.
Smith further stated that the deceased had not informed
him that she had been recently confined, nor had he the
slightest suspicion on the subject. Previous to her
death, however, the deceased communicated to her
sister the fact of her having been delivered of a seven
months' child at the house of her master the day be-
fore she left, and said ber master had given a man six
shillings to take the child away. Yesterday morning
Mr. Plower, surgeon, of Camberwell-green, made an
examination of the body of the deceased, and from
appearances which presented themselves he felt satis-
fied she had been recently delivered of a child, and he
gave a certificate to that effect. The statements of
the prisoner and his sister, in reference to the removal
of the deceased, and other important portions of the
evidence, differed widely.
The sister said, that on the morning of Wednesday
fortnight the deceased wrote for her, and on her going
to her brother's house she found her there. She com-
plained of being very ill, and said she should accom-
pany her to her house in Camberwell, upon which a
cab was sent for, and both got in at the door and rode
, on the contrary, said, that
h h
nAirs. Chambers, had been sent to
thornueg.
hisohousehTis sinter,ohe ntreismerorning of Wednesday week, she had
not accompanied his barmaid from there; on the con-
trary, she left half an hour before. The deceased, he
said, had complained for some time before of ague
and rheumatism, and insisted on going away on
Wednesday fortnight, He endeavoured to persuade
her not to leave, but she insisted on going, and sent
the potman for a cab, got into
,it at the door, and
drove away. He denied in the most positive manner
that he had any knowledge that the deceased was in
the family way, and said, that if she had been de-
livered of an infant in his house it was wholly with-
out his knowledge. His sister in Camberwell, he
said, r,as in the habit of washing for him, and on
the morning in question she took away with her the
clothes, amongst which were the things belonging to
the deceased, and which had since been sent home
clean.

consisted,to thequestions

could not account for the desire of the deceased to

MURDER OF A SOLDIER IN ST.

JAMES'S PAI.K.

The greatest excitement was occasioned last even-
ing at the West•end of the metropolis, owing to a
widely circulated report that a soldier had been shot
dead by a young woman in St. James's Park. We
regret to say, that the fact of a most determined
murder having been committed proves to he too
true. From careful inquiries instituted by our re-
porter, we are enabled to lay before our readers the
following authentic particulars in reference to the
dreadful event:—

with the wretched woman who has caused his death.
The deceased, with his company, was quartered at
the Wellington Barracks, in Birdcage-walk, and
so late as half-past four o'clock yesterday after-
noon was on parade with his comrades. A
few moments subsequently he left the barracl.:s
and proceeded along Birdcage-walk in the direction
of Storey's-gate. On his arrival within a few yards
of the entrance to Queen's-square, the attention of
several persons near the spot was attracted by the loud
report of a pistol. At the seine moment the deceased
was observed to fall heavily to the ground, while a
young woman of very respectable appearance, who
shortly before had been observed by his aide, was
seen walking away in an opposite direction. The
report of the pistol was heard by several persons, and
among others by police-constables Paul and Richards,
both officers of the A division, who were on duty
near the spot. One of these officers having observed
the woman throw down a pistol, ran towards her,
and, touching her arm, inquired whether she had not
fired off a pistol just before. She at once admitted
the fact, and resigned herself into the custody of the
officer, who conveyed her to the new police-station of
the A division in King-street, Westminster, whither
she was followed by a large crowd of persons.
When Tucker was raised up be breathed heavily
once or twice, and then expired. A large horse pistol,
which had evidently just been discharged, was foiled
lying on the pavement, close by the side of the de-
ceased, and on examining his body, a small orifice,
through which a bullet had entered, was discovered
in the lower part of the back of the neck, a corre-
sponding wound being visible on the face, immediately
under the left orbit. A stretcher having been pro-
cured, the remains of the unfortunate man were im-
mediately conveyed to the Coldstream Hoopital in
Vincent-square.
On the arrival of the murderess at the police station
the charge was taken by Mr. Inspector Beckerson.
She gave her name as Annette Mayers, adding that
she was a native of France, and that she resided (in
service) at 40, Albion-street, Hyde-park-gardens.
On the charge being read over to her, to the effect
that she had fired a pistol loaded with powder and
ball, and thereby caused the death of Henry Tucker,
she coolly admitted its correctness. On her person
being searched, a packet of letters, chiefly written by
deceased, were found upon her, as well as fourpence
in money, a bunch of keys, and other small articles.
The following are the names of the persons who
presented themselves as competent to give evidence in
relation to the affair :—Sarah Sexton, of 29, West-
street, Pimlico; Henry Killington, of Earl-street,
Kensington ; and John Gamrood, a private in the
6th company of the 2d battalion of Coldstream Guards.
On being placed in a cell the wretched woman in-
quired whether Tucker was dead. She was informed
that he was, whereupon she expressed her satisfaction,
adding that she did not care how soon she was dead
herself.

Immediately after the charge was taken, an officer
was sent to Albion•street to acquaint the lady who
occupies the house with the dreadful affair.
The wretched woman is of very respectable out-
ward appearance. She is below the middle height,
and has rather pleasing features, with somewhat of a
foreign expression. While the charge was being
entered, she appeared to be labouring under intense
mental excitement. On her removal to the cell, in
which she is constantly watched by an officer, she
became mare composed, and spoke occasionally to
him.

The deceased was a young man of very good cha-
racter in the regiment, and was much respected by
his comrades. his familiarity with Annette Mayers
had been of some continuance, and it was only on the
previous evening that she was seen in the company of
the deceased at the canteen.

In the absence of any positive knowledge of the
causes which hare led to the perpetration of this
dreadful crime, it is surmised that jealousy has been
the moving principle ; and this supposition, it is
understood, is strengthened by the letters found on
her person.
One of the witnesses states that directly after
Mayers fired off the pistol she was observed to throw
it down violently on the prostrate body of her victim.
The determination of the wretched woman's character
Tilly be gathered from the fact, that in order to have
inflicted the wound shown in the deceased's head she
must have placed the muzzle of the pistol close to his
throat.
