NICOLL'S PALETOT, registered and 7 Vie.,

of Cambridge, &c., and is generally acknowledged to exeel all other
great coats. The cloth is made of Llama Wool, known to be porous,
yet naturally repellant of rain.
In the neighbourhood of the extensive Wareroonts, 114, Regent-
street, a few small shops are so far unprincipled as to assume a
similarity of name, intending to impose upon strangers some trashy
substitute. Messrs. Nicoll think it due to their own reputation thus
to caution the publis, aid to suggest that a copy of the Address be

AMERICAN NEWS.

THE OREGON QUESTION.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.
the New York packet-ship Henry Clay, Captain Nye,
arrived here this afternoon, after a voyage of eighteen
days from New York, having left that port on the Btb
inst., and brought papers of her day of sailing.
The news by this arrival is again of a very warlike
tendency. A resolution from the Committee on Foreign
Affairs was brought up by its chairman, Mr. Wenthrop,
on the 3d inst., to the House of Representatives, to the
effect that immediate notice be given to Great Britain.of
the termination of the joint occupancy of the Oregon
territory, after a very lengthy debate lasting four days,
in which the venerable J. Q. Adams took part in sup-
port of the Bill. It was referred to a Committee of the
whole House ; but, upon the motion that it be made a
special order for the first Monday in February, and
which required a vote of two-thirds to carry it, it was lost,
the Ayes being 102, and the Noes 89. During the debate,
an outline of which we subjoin, the most violent language
was indulged in towards Great Britain, and the asser-
tion of the right of the United States to the whole of
Oregon, and the vehement repetition that they would
stand for " the whole of the Oregon or none" was of fre-
quent occurrence; in fact, the whole of the proceedings
are characterised by the greatest violence of language,
and is throughout utterly unworthy of a deliberative
assembly.
The agitation of the question had greatly affected the
markets. Stocks of all descriptions were lower, busi-
ness in many kinds of produce dull and slack, and al-
though the best papers in the city of New York depre-
cated the war feeling, which was thus being so assi-
duously fanned into a flame, yet it is evident that the
feeling has taken a strong hold on the people, and might
work mischief.
TWENTY-NINTH CONGRESS—HOUSE OF REPRE-
SENTATIVES.
'ASHINGTON, JAN. 2, 184(.—Various resolutions, de-
claring the American right to the whole of Oregon, were in-
troduced ; and upon the question being put to the vote, the
y'eas were 75, and the nays 89.
A Bill was then introduced for the organisation of rifle-
men, as also for an increase of infantry, artillery, and
dragoons, for the purpose of protecting emigrants to Oregon.
After an animated discussion of the question, Mr. J. Quincy
Adams rose aid addressed the House. After apologising to
the representatives for his physical inability to enter upon
the important matter before them with adequate power, he
proceeded to say that he hoped the first measure adopted by
Congress would-
be to give in the most solemn manner the
notice to Great Britain which the treaty required " Let it
be made the special order of the day; for, in his opinion,
they were wasting time in legislating or talking anything
about the increase of the defences of the country until we
give this notice. It did not follow that there would be
war; it did not even follow necessarily that we should take
possession of the country. We would only say to Great
Britain, after negotiating twenty odd years under that
convention, made and. repeated, we do not choose to
negotiate any longer in this way. We choose to take
possession of our own. If we have to settle what is our own,
or whether any portion belongs to you, we may negotiate.
We might negotiate after taking possession. That was the
military way of doing business. It was the way in which
Frederick 11. of Prussia had negotiated with the 14:mperor of
Austria for Silesia. He said he hoped the first step taken
would be to give, in the most solemn manner, notice to Great
Britain. Then we should have our elbows clear, and could
do as we pleased. It did not follow as a necessary con-
sequence that we should then take possession, but he hoped it
would follow as a consequence, and a very immediate one.
But whether we give the notice or not, it did not necessarily
draw after it hostility or war. If Great Britain chose to take
it as an indication of hostility, and then to commence hos-
tilities, why, we had been told that there would be but one
heart in this country ; and God Almighty grant that it
might be so ! But if this should be so, we should hear no
more of these extraordinary terrors of war on the part of the
gentleman from South Carolina, whose course on the Texas
question had been contrasted with his position on this
question. How gallant the gentleman was at the time
that Texas was in question was not for him to say. He did
not wish to draw any comparison between the disposition of
Members of this House for the acquisition of Texas, and the
—not acquisition but—taking our own, of Oregon. He said
if this war came—which God forbid ! and of which, by the
way, he had no apprehension whatever—he hoped the whole
country would go into it with one heart and one mighty
hand ; and if that were done he presumed the question be-
tween us and Great Britain would not last long, neither Ore-
gon nor any country north of this latitude would long re-
main to Great Britain. Strong as was his moral aversion to
modern war and military establishments, then, if he should
have the breath of life at the time when the war commences,
he hoped he should be able and willing to go as far in any
sacrifice necessary to make the war successful as any Mem-
ber of this House. He could say no more. He now said, and
he repeated, that until the notice was given to Great Britain,
he was not prepared to go for any of the subsequent mea-
sures. He thought we might with great propriety, without
waiting for the effect of the notice, extend to our countrymen,
who are in possession of parts of that territory not claimed by
Great Britain, the laws of the country, and the protection of the
country in any form which may be necessary. But he saw
no necessity for an increase of the army or navy at all. He
supposed that the measures taken after the notice would not
be of a disposition offensive to Great Britain, nor did ho sup-
pose that they would commence war upon it. But for the
occupation of the territory he did suppose some additional
force would be necessary for the army ; and, however unwil-
ling he was ever to give his vote for the increase of the mili-
tary forces of the country, he thought he should overcome
the difficulties in the way, especially on the appearance on
the part of Great Britain to take offence at this measure. All
these measures, and especially that of the increase of our
military forces, must depend on the notice to Great Britain
that this present state of things, which had existed for twenty
or twenty-five years, should no longer continue; that we would
not have our hands and feet tied on this subject; that the no-
tice must be given, and we must be free to act as we shall
think our interest and the rights of the countiy require.
Ile thought it was time for this House to begin to consider
what was due to that portion of our countrymen who were in
one and another portion of that territory. They ought to
know who they are. He confessed lie was very imperfectly
informed on the subject ; and neither from Lieut. Wilkes's
exploring expedition, or from Lieut. Fremont's journal, could
he gain this information which was the most needed. He
referred to the memorial which had been presented by the
Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs at an early

necessary for the protection of our citizens, such as the

the increase of our military establishments—for he was, against
all these, unless the convention was first terminated.'
Mr. Adams having taken his seat,
Mr. Faran endeavoured to offer a resolution, but the House,
influenced by feelings of intense agitation respecting the sub-
ject before it, immediately moved an adjournment.
On the 3d the debate was resumed by Mr. J. C. Ingersoll,
who, far front considering the notice would precipitate war,
believed it would on the contrary be the means of avoiding
his opinion that the matter could and
would be honourably adjusted, peaceably and without war.
it. He expressed
Mr. Darrat was for promptly and boldly asserting eur
rights to Oregon and giving the notice.
And various other Members expressed similar views.
On the sth Mr. Giddings declared that he was opposed to
war, and thought it would come if the notice was given, yet
by annexing Texas the power of the Government had been
transferred to the slaveholder, and he would therefore go
for speedily settling the question in order to add to the
number of free states, and thereby restore the balance of
power. lie was therefore in favour of giving the notice,
even if war should come. He took it for granted, that if
war should come, they would, in addition to Oregon, get
the Canadas, out of which we could make five or six free
states, and thus and in that way the balance of power
could be brought back to the free states.
Other Members made comments of a similar character,
and the debate was concluded with a braggart war-speech by
Mr. Sims.
The debate was resumed on the 6th by N. llelliard, in
favour of authorising the President to give the notice.
After some further discussion, a motion to make a special
order of the resolution was voted upon and lost. The House
then resolved itself into a Committee of the whole, and Mr.
Boulin moved to take up the joint resolution, to give the one
year's notice to England closing the joint occupancy.
On the same day, the Bill for raising two companies of
mounted riflemen, without objection, was referred to the
Committee of the whole, and ordered to be printed.
Mr. M'Connell requested permission to introduce a resolu-
tion, which the House allowed to be read for information.
The reading excited much merriment and laughter, and was
regarded as an appropriate burlesque upon the recent pro-
ceedings of Congress:—
" Resolved,—That we hail the elevated feeling which now
unusually prevails in our glorious confederacy to strengthen
and coneclidate the principles of Republican freedom, and
extend the blessings of our free institutions in every practi-
cable quarter of the universe, in the spirit of Christian love
and peaceful brotherhood.
" Resolved,—That while we hail the admission of Texas
(which fought her way to independence) as a sister state
into our union, we now, with unaffected pride and sa-
tisfaction, hail the resolution of the Executive and Con-
gress of the United States to uphold our title to Oregon,
and in the same spirit we observe the growing desire to
incorporate Mexico, Yucatan, California, &c., into the con-
federacy, and that Ireland is fully entitled to share the
blessings of our free institutions.
" Resolved,—That the Irish people, as a nation, have long
been ground down by the British misrule and misgovern-

head in open Court,

nErsLocK V. PATCH.

This case was brought on in Michaelmas term last by a
bill filed by the plaintiff in reference to a will before the
Ecclesiastical Courts, alleging that the plaintiff was the next
of kin to the testator, and that fraud had been used to ob-
tain the will, and praying an injunction to restrain tl.e de-
fendant from wasting the assets pending the suit in the
Ecclesiastical Courts. A demurrer and answer were put in
by the defendant. But the bill having been purged of im-
pertinent matter without being amended, was left in many
parts unmeaning, which deprived his Honour of the power
to do more than overrule the demurrer which was overruled
without costs.

BAIL COURT, Jan. 27.
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice WILLLe•rs.)
The cases disposed of in this Court to-day possessed no
feature of public interest.

The pOliceman produced the clasp which he found at the
odging at Hoxton. There were ashes of paper under the
grate, and he also found in the ashes some small nails, screws,
and a hinge, which he supposed to be the remains of the
writing case.
Mrs. Bircham, of 1, Eliza-terrace, Hoxton, said the female
prisoner slept there on the night of the 20th, and she heard
her busy with the fire till a late hour. Witness had two
furnished parlours to let. Barlow first looked at them, and
said he would send " his good lady." She took them to be
man and wife, and the lady came afterwards and approved
of the place. She did not take possession till the morning of
the 20th, when she brought her luggage in a cab, but went
away immediately. She returned with Barlow about eight
in the evening, but be went away about half-past ten the
same night. On the following day witness entered the room
while Miss Richards was absent, and saw under the sofa-pil-
low a strip of Russia leather with a torn edge. She,. also
saw a gold chain with long burnished links, and short inter-
vening links.
The officer said both these had been removed when be
searched the place at night, but he found another chain.
Such a chain as was described had been stolen from Mr.
Pare, but the chain produced was identified from the work-
box of the bar-maid. She saw it safe in her bed-room two
days before Miss Richards left. The bar-maid also iden-
tified two pocket handkerchiefs found at the lodging at
Hoxton. One belonged to herself, and the other to her
mistress.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 27.
(Sittings in Banco.)
LEEDS AND CARLISLE ILAILWAY.-SIR JOHN RENNIE

IHMSFORD AND OTHERS.
Mr. alma moved the Court this morning to stay pro-
ceedings in this action untiLtbe- plaintiff had delivered to the
defendant a further and better particular of the notice of his
demand. The plaintiff was the eminent engineer, and the
defendants the managing Directors of the Leeds and Carlisle
Railway, for preparing the necessary surveys of which line
the plaintiff claimed 12,855/., and had brought the present
action to recover that amount. Now the defendants wished
to know how this amount was made up, in order that they
might submit the amount to some competent person capable
of judging whether it was fair or not.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Had you not better refer the cue
at once, and save all further expenses?
Mr. SMITH said they were not in a position to refer, owing
to the particulars of demand being of so general a character,
and unless the Court were prepared to lay down a different
rule in the case of engineers, he was quite sure the parti-
culars which had been delivered in the cause were insufficient.

Mr. Baron ALDERSON did not know that there was any
necessity for the Court to lay down a new rule in the case of
an engineer, because an engineer did his work in the bulk,
and could hardly bq expected to make out his bill in the
same way as a tradesman.
Mr. SMITH would submit that the particular contained
one item of 8,980/., which ought to be g►ven more in detail.
It was for personally examining the country between Leeds
and Carlisle, making sundry trial sections, laying out the
main line, finding surveyors and levellers, meeting solicitors
and Directors, and arranging with them, with taveren, travel-
ling, and other expenses.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—WeII, how could he deliver a better
particular than that ?
Mr. SMITH replied that surely he couldsay how many days
he was employed in the surveys, and how many assistants
be employed.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Then, in fact, you want him to give
an account of the number of fields he surveyed, and how long
he was surveying them.
Mr. SMMI submitted that the particular alleged that the
plaintiff had paid money out of pocket for tavern bills, travel-
ling expenses, and assistants; surely he must have kept
some account of the money lie paid.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—You have already bad an order
granted you at Chambers, calling upon the plaintiff to sepa-
rate the money paid out of pocket from the charges for
the work and labour, and when that is done you will be in
possession of sufficient information to enable you to judge
what the claim is for.
Mr. SMITH apprehended not. Suppose a builder were to
delivera particular in this general form, For building a house,
1,0001., would that be sufficient ?
The LORD CHIEF JuirricE—l think it would be a good
particular.
Mr. SMITH thought not. But suppose an attorney were to
deliver his bill thus, To defending an action se much, would
that be sufficient?
The LORD CHIEF BARON—An attorney is a different per-
son altogether, because his charges are subjected to taxation.
Mr. SMITH contended that an engineer ought not to be ex-
empted from the general rule, and he submitted that the
Court ought to call upon the plaintiff to deliver a detailed
particular of the nature of his claim.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—SureIy you would not have him
give you an account of every glass of wine or bottle of
brandy lie used during the completion of the surreys. There
is a wide difference between particulars for information and
particulars for traps. The one gave a correct idea of the
plaintiff's claim, wh►le the other betrayed the plaintiff into
an admission which might be used against him at nisi prius.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—The Court makes ne exception
to the general rule bearing upon particulars in favour of en-
gineers, and the Court requires the engineer to deliver the
same description of particular as the shoemaker; namely,
such a particular as will give a correct idea of the nature of
the claim. Surely if a shoemaker stated that his demand
was so much for a pair of boots, you would not call upon him
to give a detailed account of the coat and prices of the mate-
rials with which the boots were made. The Court refused
to make the order

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 27.

COOKE V. WETHERELL.

Mr. Sergeant SIIRE resumed the argument in this case, in
continuation of his address on Saturday, and against the rule
sought *for a new trial on the ground of surprise. The
Learned Gentleman, this morning, directed himself to the
affidavits of Catherine Bull, Mary Potter, and Ann Lamb,
contending that had it been supposed that the parties who
now made them were necessary on the trial to strengthen
the defence of Mr. Wetherell, they could easily have been
produced. In answer to what was alleged on those affidavits,
there was the clear evidence of Mary Hall, the washerwoman,
of Dorset street, and the Russells, which, if worthy of credit,
went far to establish the fact of the criminal connexion
charged. The Learned Gentleman here read the evidence
of these witnesses, in answer to the allegations set forth
in the affidavits, and denied with some warmth
certain imputations cast on the moral character of
Elizabeth Russell, in order to destroy the influence of her
evidence, the same was also attempted to be done with Mrs.
Revel, Mary Langrage, and several other witnesses ; but he
submitted without anything like good cause ; and if not,
then had they clearly proved criminal connexion, and that a
miscarriage of Mrs. Cooke had taken place in consequence, at
the time she was living with her father and separated from
her husband. The Learned Gentleman, at some length,
combatted the imputations set up by the defendant against
the voracity of these witnesses, and, after replying to the
affidavits of the two defendants, who set forth that the whole
charge was a base conspiracy of the plaintiff to " get rid of
the load of marriage" on account of disappointment respect-
ins Mrs. Cooke's fortune, concluded by calling on their Lord-
ships to discharge the application.
Mr. Sergeant Wilde replied at some length in support of
the application, when their Lordships gave their decision,
that the rule be made absolute.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Just as the Lord Mayor was leaving the bench, John Kin-
chin, master of Waterman steam-boat No. 5, and Edward
Mackey, one of the crew, were placed at the bar charged
with a riot.
It appeared from the evidence of the policeman making
the charge, that from instructions he received that morning
at the City Solicitor's office, lie had just taken the defend-
ants into custody on account of the dispute which arose on
Wednesday last respecting the pier at Paul's-wharf.
The case having been partly heard, a solicitor appeared on
behalf of the defendants, when the Lord Mayor, before he
had time to make a remark, asked who he was?
The gentleman stated that he attended from the office of
Messrs. Newbon and Evans, the solicitors to the Waterman's
Steam Packet Company.
The LORD MAY OR then said, Go beyond that -railing,
sir ;" and on being remonstrated with as to the place where
the gentleman was then standing being the usual one for:
solicitors when attending there, his Lordship said if you do,
not go out from the railing you shall be turned out.
The solicitor then went outside the bar, and the statement
of the police having been taken, the Lord Mayor ordered the
defendants to find bail in 1001. each, and two sureties of 501.
each, to answer the charge at the sessions.
The solicitor, during the hearing of the case, stated that
he took the order to go beyond the barrier as a personal
insalt.
The LORD MAYOR said, in reply, "I meant you to take
it as such," and the solicitor then left the Court.
GUILDHALL.
Phoebe Richards, a young woman of respectable appear-
ance, and Edward Barlow, a clerk at Messrs. Wreford and
Co.'s, 2, Aldermanbury, were re-examined, charged with
stealing a writing-case and other articles from the e,ommer-
cial Hotel (the Barley-mow), Salisbury-square.
Mr. Clarkson, with Mr. Philp, the solicitor, attended for
the prosecutor, and Mr. Ballantine with Mr. Hudson, soli-
citor, for the accused. The room was crowded with the
friends of the parties. •
Mr. Clarkson said there had been a short examination on
a former day, but it would now be necessary to go into the
matter minutely. He called—
Mr. Pare, the landlord of the hotel, who deposed that the
female prisoner, Richards, came to lodge at his house on the
15th of December, representing that she had come from
South Petherton, near Bristol. -Her luggage was brought in
a cab. Having a sitting-room for gentlemen staying at his
house, but no such accommodation for ladies, she was in-
vited to sit in the bar parlour, and while she was lodging in
the house property to the extent of 301. was lost. She left
on the evening of the 20th of January, without any inti-
mation that she had taken a lodging elsewhere. She
went away pretending she was going to the Great Western
Railway to meet her sister, who would arrive at half-past
nine; but, in fact, she went directly to Hoxton, where
she had taken a lodging a week before. There was a *raffle
at prosecutor's house for some silver watches, which were
kept in the bar parlour. The raffle was to

said he would call and pay it in the evening. Witness re-
quested him to bring Miss Richards with him, as she
had, no doubt, by mistake, taken away seme ar-
ticles which belonged to Mrs. Pare, or to Mrs.
Clarkson, a lady on a visit to her. Barlow pro-
mised he would do so ; but, in consequence of some infor-
mation, both the prisoners were taken into custody in
Aldermanbury about 6 o'clock in the afternoon. On Wed-
nesday morning a note was received by post, bearing a
Cripplegate post mark, setting forth that she did not return
last night because her sister arrived so late, and that they
slept together in Aldermanbury. He went with the officers
to search the lodging at Eliza-terrace Hoxton, and saw cer-
tain articles found there. None of the missing property was
found on Barlow, or amongst his effects at his employers.
Mr. Alderman CHALLIS asked how the female prisoner
accounted for removing her luggage, if she gave no intima-
tion that she was going to leave? Mr. Pare said he was not
aware that she had removed her luggage, but he returned
from the country in the course of that day.
Mr. Willoughby, a lodger at the hotel, stated that he
missed his writing-case from the commercial-room on the
first floor. It was safe about five o'clock in the afternoon on
the 20th, and he missed it next morning. The outside was
of russia leather, but there was a black leather portfolio in-
side. He identified the clasp of the portfolio by a scratch.
The case contained bills and papers of importance to hint

Mrs. Clarkson, of the Walworthid-road, was staying at
the hotel on a visit to Mrs. Pare, a brooch which
she had broken, and which was found at the prisoner's
lodging.
Elizabeth Fisher, the chambermaid, identified Barlow as
having been in the commercial-room on the afternoon ofs
the day on which Mr. Willoughby's writing-case was stolen
from it.
Mr. Clarkson then proposed an adjournment of the hear-
ing till Saturday, and he was willing that the young man,
Barlow, should continue to remain at large on his recog-
nizance:.
Mr. Ballantine said he was willing to assent to this, for
the fuller the inquiry was he'was sure the clearer would the
innocence of Barlow appear. lie had been paying his ad -
dresses to the young woman, intending to marry her. He
had hitherto appeared as counsel for both the prisoners; but
from this time he should represent only Barlow, who be-
lieved the young woman to be innocent till proofs of her
guilt not to be resisted were produced, but now he could
no longer endeavour to protect her.
The female prisoner, who seems indifferent to the result,
was then remanded till Saturday, and Barlaw was bailed to
appear at the same time.
W OR SHIP- S TREE T.
A middle-aged man of respectable appearance, named
George Samuel Abrahams, described as an auctioneer and
house-agent, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Broughton, for
final examination, on numerous charges of embezzlement and
felony, and obtaining money under false pretences.
Two charges of fraud, after an elaborate investigation, the
.Magistrate considered it unlikely would be followed by a
conviction, and they were therefore abandoned, but the pri-
soner was committed upon one charge of felony ; and
A lady named Lane now stated, that wishing in the latter
part of December last to dispose of some property at her
•villa, at Ealing, the prisoner, who was recommended to her
by a friend as an auctioneer, waited upon her to draw up the
particulars of sale. Amongst other articles in the list were
an agate snuff-box, gold-mounted, and with a beautifully
executed representation of the Coliseum at Rome upon the
lid ; and a silver cruet-stand, both of which having sustained
trifling fractures likely to depreciate their value, the prisoner
took them away with him on the excuse of getting them
repaired. Sbe had repeatedly applied for their restoration,
but unsuccessfully, and now found, upon their production by
the officer, that they had been pledged by the prisoner, and
of course without her sanction. She had also seen a set of
mounted cruet-, found by the officer at the house of the pri-
soner, which were likewise her property, and must have been
abstracted by the accused from her house on the occasion of
his visit, and without her authorisation, as they were entire
and needed no repairs.
The snuff-box and cruet-stand were produced in
.court,
the latter by Mr. Russell, a pawnbroker in Shoreditch,
at whose shop it had been pledged by the prisoner, at the
latter end of December, for 4/.
The prisoner offered no defence to this charge, and Hol-
land, the warrant officer, next predined a cigar-case, which
he had discovertd upon searching the prisoner's house, and
which was identified as his property by a Mr. Rubens, a
vanilla merchant, who had left it in an apartment to which
the prisoner had access, serving as the temporary bar of a
publican named Collins, residing in Wellclose-square,
Whitechapel, whose house so suddenly fell down that his
family had scarcely time to escape with their lives, and for
whose benefit a subscription was set on foot and collected
by the prisoner, to the amount of more than 801., and applied
by him to his own purposes, with the exception of about 61.
only, which had been obtained from him by stratagem.
In this case the prisoner, who betrayed the coolest self-
possession throughout the proceedings, expressed his inten-
tion to reserve his defence for another occasion, and he was
then fully committed for trial upon all the charges.
LAMBETH.

Mr. Frederic Manton, a respectable muter tailor, residing
at 3, Harleyford-terrace, Penton-place, Newington, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, and charged, on sus-
picion, of wilfully cutting the throat of Joanna, his wife,
with intent to murder her.
Mr. Games attended on behalf of the prisoner, and the
Court was much crowded during the examination.
The first witness called was an aged woman, the mother-
in-law of the prisoner, who'deposed that her daughter had
been married to the prisoner about three years, and for nearly
the whole of that time they had led an uncomfortable life,
and the prisoner had frequently used her very ill. On the
Friday morning the prisoner had quarrelled with his wife,
knocked her down, and gave her a black eye, and witness
then heard him say, he " would do for her." A little after
eight, on the Sunday morning, witness heard a loud scream
of "Murder," or some such word, and, on hastening from her
own room, she found the prisoner standing at the bottom of
the stairs perfectly naked, N. ith his hands covered with blood,
and also saw her daughter lying near the fire-place in the
front parlour with a wound on her throat, from which the
blood was flowing freely. She, witness, asked " Who did it?"
and her daughter, pointing to the prisoner, said in a faint
voice, " He did it," and this was all she was able to say.
Mr. HENRY—Are you enabled to say which it was who
first called out—the prisoner or your daughter ? Witness—
I'm sure it was the prisoner.
Mr. HE:shy—Did the prisoner make any reply or observa-
tion when his wife pointed to him, as you have stated, and
said, "He did it ?' Witness—Not a word, Sir, but whipped
into the back parlour, in which he and his wife slept. I re-
quested of him, as he was quite naked, to go and put his
shirt on. My daughter at this time was insensible, and 1
saw a razor covered with blood, lying open close to her.—
(The witness was cross•examined at groat length by Mr.
Gaines, but nothing material was elicited.)
Richard Vesey, the son of the last witness, and brother-
in-law to the prisoner, said that he with his mother had
occupied the first floor in the prisoner's house for the
last three weeks. This witness, after speaking to several
acts of ill-treatment of the prisoner toward; hia wife, said,
that on Sunday morning, on hearingthe cries of " mother,"
or "murder" down stairs, he desired his mother to go down
quietly, and if he should be wanted to call out to him.
His mother did call out, and upon his running down he
found the prisoner perfectly naked, with his hands com-
pletely smeared in blood, and his face and the front of his
person spotted over with blood, as if it had spirted out upon
him. On seeing his sister he charged the • prisoner with
cutting her throat. He endeavoured to get oat by the
front door to give an alarm, and procure the assistance of a
policeman; but he found that it was double locked, and the
key missing, so that he was obliged to get out by the window.
In his cross-examination this witness acknowledged that he
and the prisoner were on very bad terms, and the latter had
given him notice to quit his house, and that he (witness) had
applied to this court for a warrant against him. The witness
and his mother denied that there was the slightest cause to
suppose that Mrs. Munton was insane.
Mrs. Ann Cox, a married woman, who lived next door to
the prisoner, deposed that, about 8 o'clock the morning'
before, she heard a violent noise in the lower part of the
prisoner's house, resembling that of two persons fighting or
struggling. The struggle appeared for some time to be going
on in the passage, but. at length the parties reached the par-
lour, and she then heard a female voice exclaim, " 06, you,
villain, you have done it at last I"
Mr:Charles William (Away, a surgeon, in. Agienterbury-
row, Kennington, deposed that about eight filiftek on the
morning before he was called on to attend the Wife of the pri-
soner, and on going to the house he found Mrs. Munton on
the parlour floor, with the prisoner by her side. The latter'
had one hand on the wound in his wife's throat, and the,
other engaged in preventing Mrs. Munton from getting her
hands to the wound. The wound at this time was not
bleeding violently, and witness, with assistance, removed her
into bed. She was then in a state of collapse from the shock
the system had experienced by the wound, and the loss of
blobd. The wound in the throat was about an inch-and-a-
half in length, was across the gullet, and divided the wind-
pipe and some of the muscles, and might have been inflicted
by either herself or the prisoner. He succeeded in dressing
it, and remained with the patient until past ten o'clock, be-
fore which time she was so far recovered as to be able to dis-
cern what was going on about her, though unable to articu-
late. At present she was labouring under a good deal of
fever, but he thought she would get over it. After visiting
her several times, he asked Mrs. Munton who did it, and
she said herself, and at the same time embraced and kissed
the prisoner. She subsequently made a motion to signify
that she wanted a pen, ink, and paper, and they were
brought to her. A piece of paper was here shown to the
Magistrate, on which the following had been written by the
wounded woman :
" I did it myself through distress of mind. Pray, my dear
Fred., take care of my poor dear Arthur for your poor dear
Ann's sake. Will you be a father and a mother for ever. Do
not charge my mother and brother with anything. They
are innocent. " JOANNA MUNTON."
Mr. Otway, in continuation, said that on reading over the
paper, and, finding that she had not mentioned the name of
her husband as being innocent of the offence, as well as her
mother and brother, asked her in the presence of two police-
men whether it was her wish to add anything to that effect.
She then took the paper, and after the word "anything"
she interlined "nor my husband."
Inspector Collier, of the P division, said that on being ex-
amined at the station-house, the person of the prisoner was
found to be very much scratched all over. Ile also produced
the prisoner's shirt, which was completely saturated with
blood, particularly the sleeves—and also the nightcap which
had been worn at the time, and which was found in the
fire-place of the next room—and this, too, was saturated
with blood.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.

COLCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE.—On Saturday last,
notv:itlistanding the general depression of the trade, there
was less opposition manifested by the farmers to the policy
of Sir Robert Peel, than we had been led to imagine by the
" Essex Protective Society" would be the case. Indeed
many expressed themselves favourable to repeal. and none
seemed inclined to favour a gradual abolition. The general
feeling seemed to be, if the corn-laws are to be repealed, let
it be done at once. It is evident that the farmers in Essex,
uninfluenced by their landlords, are not as a body in favour
