THAMES.

T. and J. Jones, in the employ of Mr. Byass, wine and
porter merchant, of Limehouse-hole, were brought up
on remand, charged with causing the death of Susan
Coslidge, a servant girl, by driving their master's horse
and cart over her in High-street, Whitechapel. A coro-
ner's jury had already returned a verdict of manslaughter
driver of the cart. Two ngainwit-
nesses,stwThhoosmawasthjon
the ocecs'urrence, proved that the prisoners
were in the cart, which was driven at a furious rate.
Mr. Pelham, who appeared for the prisoners, said,
there were no grounds ior charging either of the pri-
soners with manslaughter. Both of them very deeply
lamented the occurrence, which was purely accidental.
Mr. BALLANTINE was of opinion that the jury on the
inquest had come to a right conclusion, and that there
had been furious driving, He should therefore commit
Thomas Jones for trial and discharge his brother.

MURDER OF TWO CHILDREN.
WILLENHALL, FRIDAY.—This afternoon an inquest
was held before Mr. T. M. Phillips, coroner for this
district of Staff,rdshire, upon the bodies of two children,
named Edwin Jones, aged 18 months, and Sarah Spencer,
aged 12 years, who were murdered lute on Wednesday
night by a woman named Maria Jones, mother of the
first and aunt to the second unf4tutite victim of her un-
doubted insanity. The facts of this horrible case may
be told shortly. The woman charged with the murders
is the wife of a working man named Enoch Jones, in
apparently comfortable circumstances. She is a remark-
ably interesting-looking young woman, and appears from
her conversation when in a right state of mind to have
received an education superior to those moving in her
sphere of life. About three months since her husband
noticed a change in her usual behaviour; she negheted
her household affairs, and seemed absorbed i❑ religious
speculations. Her manlier became so strange, that ulti-
mately it was deemed advisable to place her i❑ the lunatic
ward of the Wolverhampton Union Workhouse. She
was, however, discharged on Wednesday last, at the
instance of two of her relatives, named Maria Hadley
and Martha Jones. She then appeared to be in a ra-
tional state.

The next morning the woman entered into conversa-

girl to bed with the child before eight o'clock, and then
walked down the lane wtth a ntighbour, named Mrs.

for a razor with which to cut the child's throat, as she

pened against a steel, went up steins, then cut the throat
of her niece, but did not cut the head quite off. She then
declared she ought to suffer fur spilling the poor baby's

SHOCKING MURDER.
The feelings of the community of Stockport and its
neighbourhood were very much shocked, at an early WI
yesterday morning, by the perpetration of a cold-blooded
and deliberate murder, an event that has not cccurredir
this borough for very many years. The perpetrator)
this crime is James Kelly, betFeen twenty-five and thirt,
years of age, who was employed at Mr. Orrell's, Travis
Brook Mill; and his victim is a young woman named
Eliza Fsu!kner, of comely appearance, comes hat ova,
twenty years -of age, who also worked at the same milk
as a throstle spinner. The deceased and Kelly had some
time kept company, but her friends having
lately told
her some circumstances connected with his life previous
to their acquaintance, she determined to break off the
connexion with him, and had told him so several days
previously. On Thursday night he went to her letir
ings at Mrs. Dyson's, and solicited an interview. She
granted it, and stated to him that besides being
Chartist he had been in prison. He replied ho had
been in prison for poaching, at Preston ; but she told
him that all her friends had threatened to turn
th ir backs upon her if she continued to receive
his addresses, and that she had firmly made up her
mind never to marry him, or indeed meet him again. On
Friday morning, at half past five o'clock, he went to the
house again, and called her by name, knowing that she
would be going at that hour to work. She left home
with her landlady's daughter, and he joined them at the
entry end, where it is supposed he renewed his entreaties
to be received again as a lover, and she refused; the
other girl had before that left her. They crossed Nor-
ris-street together from the entry end, and were close to
the window and door of a Mrs. Sleigh, near the turning
into Hope-street, and not more than forty yards from
the entry end, when she gave a loud scream, and 310.,
Sleigh opening the door at the time, saw a torrent
blood gushing from her throat, and the unfortunate k"
the next moment precipitated herself into Mrs. Sleigu'li
arms. Mrs. Sleigh attempted to carry her across the
street to her lodgings, but she fell down upon the flags
just outside the door, and died almost instantly.
Several persons were witness to the shocking deed,
and the prisoner was at once apprehended by three meet,
who stated to Bowers, the officer, that the man they
had in custody was charged with almost cutting his
wife's head off. Bowers, addressing the prisoner, asked
if he heard what the men said against him? The pri-
soner replied, "It is true." He then asked Bowers to
sit down by the side of him, which he did, when the'pri•
soner said, "It is not my wife, but my sweetheart. It?,
all her friends' fault, and they tried to persuade her all
they could not to keep company with me." Ile was then
locked up, and an officer placed in the cell to watch hish
He had a cut on his left hand at the time, which bled
profusely, and this was dressed. The murder was per•
petrated with a long, sharp knife, which the prisoner jar
mediately after threw away, but it was soon afterwards
picked up in the street, and is now in the possession of
Policeman Walters.

•
The deceased had neither father nor mother livul
but she had two ;sisters. She is represented as a girl
of good'character, quiet disposition, and steady habits.
The inquest was held on the body, before Mr. Rutter'
coroner, at the Crown public-house, Heaton-lane, at four
o'clock on Friday afternoon.
The above statement was fully corroborated by several
witnesses. The Coroner having briefly summed UP, the
jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against
James Kelly, who was then committed to Kirkdale ()"
the charge.—Manchester Guardian.
