The prisoner on being called on for his defence made
a very long statement, and said he left home at silt
o'clock on Monday morning and did not enter his dwell-
ing again till seven o'clock next morning, when he
effected an entrance by means of a ladder raised against
the back of his house, and obtained admission by the
first floor window. He was engaged during the whole
of Monday in fitting out an up and-down, near Womb-
well's menagerie in Stepney Fair, and turning the crank.
The deceased and her mother visited the fair during the
day, and he put them into one of the boats of the up-
and-down he was attending. At five o'clock the same
afternoon, he saw Jane Sloman in the fair again, and
she was then the worse for liquor. He bend her to
go home, and not distract his attention from the work
he was upon, as he was fearful of receiving an injury
from the crank he was turning. The prisoner then
went on to state very circumstantially, that he finished
his work at twelve o'clock on Monday night, and
that after obtaining some refreshment he went home,
and knocked at the door, and no one answered.
He made several ineffectual attempts to enter the
house, and the neighbours saw and heard him knock-
ing at the door. The first time he knocked at the door
was between one and two o'clock, and the neighbours
said, " Who's there?" He told them he was very tired,
and should obtain a lodging elsewhere, and as be was
leaving the spot, theeighbours exclaie, " My
she has fallen down stairs." Afterm visditing several
coffee-shops and public houses he finally got in et the
window by means of a ladder. He went down stairs,
and saw the body lying at the foot of the staircase. He
opened the door and the neighbours entered. At the
desire of the neighbours he raised her head, and rested
it on his lap, and the bystanders said she was dead. He
immediately proceeded to the deceased's mother, and it
formed her her daughter was dead. The prisoner,
although very minute and circumstantial in detailing the
i
places he had called at, and the refreshment he had
swallowed, did not account very satisfactorily for his
time between twelve and half-past one o'clock, the time
he first reached home; nor dhe ive any explant,tion
of the circumstance he mention id
ed, g
that the neighbours
told him the woman had fallen down stairs, of vrbich,
according to his own showing, ho took no notice. ,
Mr. Broderip, on the conclusion of the pristrier s
statement, said it was his duty to remand him till to-
morrow (Thursday), and he was forthwith sent avraY in
the van to Westminster Bride well.

EDUCATION (IRELAND).
The following are the interesting portions of the an-
nual report of the Commissioners of Education in Ire-
land, to his excellency the Lord-Lieutenant for the year
ending 25th March, 1846 (just issued by order of par-
lament, being prepared pursuant to Act of Parliatnent,
53 Gee. lIL, c. 107, s. 8):

TO HIS EXCELLENCY WILLIAM BARON HEYTESBURY, &C.
In the attendance of pupils and the course of invrne-
lion adopted in the royal schools, no alteration bas,
since our last report to your Excellency, taken planes of
a nature sufficiently important to call for any special re-
marks on the present occasion.
At the election of Queen's scholars founded by us in
the University, we have to inform your Excellency, that
since our last report we have appointed, on the Artnegh
Royal School foundation—
Edmund F. Rambaut to a royal scholarship of 251. per
annum for five years.
On the Dungannon Royal School foundation—
Richard Dowse to a royal scholarship of 301. par an-
num for five years.
Frederick Dobbin to a royal scholarship of .3o • n pern
annum for five years.
Robert lleatley to a royal scholarship of 301. Per
an-
num for three years.
Wyndham Armstrong to a royal scholarship of 30/.
per annum for two years.
Hugh M'Sorley to a royal scholarship of 50/. Per an-
num for two years.
On the Enniskillen Roy al School foundation--
John Gwynne to a royal scholarship of 50/. per 8,11"
Rum for five year.
John J. Fletcher to a royal scholarship of 301. per
an-
num for five years.
William Caine to a royal scholarship of 30Z for one
year. • d bf
Much of our time and attention has been occupied re
the estates attached to the Royal Schools; and we
enabled to inform your Excellency that a decided in:e
provernent is apparent thereon; and that we ha.he
granted such assistance to different memorialists as
nature of each case seemed to us to require and jnetn:r.

At Banagher repairs of an extensive nature are now

From the annual returns furnished to us bY

ex-

school will soon be enabled to place it in a snore satis.
tactory position.

The other diocesan schools remain much in the same
condition as when we last reported to your Excellency.
We have further to state to your Excellency that vis
have, in the course of the past year, paid to the crept
of the consolidated fund the regular annual instahnen°
in repayment of the sums advanced by Government in
the cases of Raphoe and Clonmel schools.
