his pocket. The woman, who was quite sober, positively
denied it, and the prisoner struck her twice on the upper part
of the body. The prisoner was not drunk. Witness remon-
strated with the prisoner, and opened the door so that the
deceased might escape. She ran out, the prisoner immedi-
ately followed her, and witness saw no more until she found
the deceased lying insensible in the dust-hole at the end of
the passage. That was about three o'clock.
Mrs. Sarah Angelina Hewett deposed as follews—l live on

Saturday night, and was aroused by the dreadful screams of
a woman in the court. lam sure it was a female voice. I
heard her say, "Martin, don't kill me." It was then a quar-
ter to three o'clock.

Mr. GREEWWOOD—How do you know the tima have
three rooms, and a clock in each room. There is a clock at
the foot of my bed, and I saw the time by a light which was
burning on the table. Soon after the first cries I heard the
same female voice again exclaim, " I have not got ycur shil-
; don't murder me ;" and then dreadful screams from the
same woman. There was silence, and in some minutes after
I heard a person say, " The woman is dead."

Golden-hue to George's-yard. He saw the deceased in a
house there. She had been carried from the dust-hole and

removal, and said he wanted to give her in charge for stealing
a shilling. Several persons present said aloud that it was

deny it. He was arrested and attempted to escape on
his way to the station. He found is. 3d. in the pocket of
deceased.

head cf the dying woman in her lap said to the prisoner,
who was standing by, " Ali, you vagabond, you have given
her her last blow ;" the prisoner was silent.

his arrival at the police-station, at a quarter to four o'clock
on Sunday morning, the deceased had just expired. He did
not make any post mortem or other examination of the body';
but there did not seem to be any mark of violence on the
head. He did not examine under her dress.

Police-constable 226 G deposed that the woman gave signs
of life when she reached the station. She vomited, blew her
nose, and wiped her face ; suddenly her colour became livid,
and she died in a moment.

The prisoner, who. was twice about addressing the Court,
fres stopped by the Magistrate saying it was not the proper
time, and that he could not be too cautious.—He was re-
manded.
