A T a very numerous and influential MEETING
LIOL of the DRUGGISTS and CHEMISTS of LONDON. held at
the Hall of Commerce, Threadneedle-street, London, on Saturday,
the 15th day of August, 1846, pursuant to public advertisement,
JAMES DREW, Esq., in the Chair;

It was moved by Mr. MOWBRAY, seconded by Mr. DAVY, and
resolved unanimously—
That this meeting, having maturely considered the Bill lately in-
troduced into Parliament by her Majesty's Government, entitled "A
Bill to prevent the use of stills in the manufacture of spirit mixtures
by unlicensed persons, and to regulate the sale thereof, Fall of spirits
of wine, by persons licensed under this Act ;" and having considered
the provisions of the same, is of opinion that the proposed measure
is objectionable in the highest degree, and totally uncalled for by any
existing circumstances.
Moved by Mr. TotiGE, seconded by Mr. ROPER, and resolved

unanimously—
That the regulations proposed to be sanctioned by the Bill would,
if passed into a law, have the effect of rendering chemists and
druggists in general, both wholesale and retail, and a numerous class
of persons not makers of spirits, or otherwise at present subject to
the jurisdiction of the Excise, but who may happen to employ spirits
of wine in any of their processes, or deal in articles into which spirit
enters as a principal ingredient, and who cannot amount to fewer
than 30,000 persons at the least, amenable to the Excise: regulations ;
and to the provisions of the Bill, which are in many respects highly
inquisitorial, vexatious, arbitrary, and unjust, beyond the ordinary
laws and regulations of Excise.
Moved by Mr. Warts., seconded by Mr. PRESTON, and reso:ved

unanimously—
That such an extension of the jurisdiction of the excise is uncon-
stitutional and most objectionable and obnoxious, and in the opinion
of this meeting, no existing state of circumstances could justify the
introduction into Parliament of a measure of so important and ob-
jectionable a character at any moment, and still less so at this late
period of the session.
Moved by Mr. SQUIRE, seconded by Mr. TAM, and resolved
unanimously
__ . _ •

That this meeting pledges itself to tise its utmost endeavours to
prevent the Bill in question from being passed into a law.
Moved by Mr. GIFFORD, seconded by Mr. Hum, and resolved

unanimously—
That these resolutions be published in the Times, the Morning
Post, the Morning Chronicle, the Morning Herald, the Daily News,
the Public Ledger, the Globe, and The Sun, newspapers.
Moved by Mr. PRESTON, seconded by Mr. HOWARD, and resolved

unanimously—
That the best thanks of this meeting be presented to the Chair-
man, as well for his conduct in the chair this day, as for the energy
and ability he has displayed in watching over the interests of the
trade on the present occasion.

MURDER AT• THE GUILDHALL

COFFEE-HOUSE.

On Saturday, while the Lord Mayor was engaged in
the routine business of the Mansion House, Inspector
Woodruffe, of the City police, informed his Lordship
that the cook at the Guildhall Coffee-house, had just
cut the throat of the kitchen-maid, and that she was
dead.
Soon after, John Smith, the person accused of the
murder, was brought in to the justice-room and placed
at the bar. He is about thirty years of age. He seemed
to be in a state of excessive mental agony.
The following witnesses were then called :
William Rozin stated as follows : I am boots at the
Guildhall Coffee-house. The prisoner was cook in the
same service, and the deceased, whom we called Susan,
was acting as kitchenmaid. About half past twelve
o'clock this day I was cleaning one of the windows
of the folding doors of the front entrance of the
coffee-house in Gresham-street, when I saw the
kitchenmaid come screaming from the kitchen up
to the corner of the stairs, with the blood run-
ning from her throat. I ran towards her, and she
fell before I got to her. She had a knife in her
hand. She said nothing, and died almost instantly.
There is a back entrance to the kitchen, as well as the
one from which she came. I had not been in the kitchen
for an hour before. At that time the prisoner was. in
the kitchen, dressed in a brown jacket and apron (his
cook's dress), and the deceased and two other persons,
namely, the scullerymaid and a little girl who assists in
the kitchen. Immediately upon the deceased falling, I
went into the kitchen, leaving her upon the ground, and
there I saw the prisoner alone. He walked from the
table (upon which I observed the cook's dress, and also
a knife covered with blood, lying) to meet me, and I
said, " Dear me, what is the matter ?" He said to me,
" I have done it, and I wish you to give me in charge."
He looked very pale and ghastly.
The LORD MAYOR—Did you hear whether there had
been any quarrel between the prisoner and the deceased?
Witness—l heard that there had been a previous quarrel
between them, but I heard nothing of it myself.
The LORD MAYOR—Did you hear that there
had been a quarrel between them recently ?
Witness—l heard that there was quarrelling between
them on the previous night. I have heard them quar-
relling together. Sometimes they were on good terms
together, and sometimes the reverse. The prisoner is
a married man, and I am not aware of any intimacy be
tween the prisoner and the deceased. The prisoner has
been in his situation several years, and had served his
apprenticeship to Mr. Walters, the proprietor of, the
Guildhall Coffee-house. The deceased was in Mr.
Walters's service about twelve months. I have heard
that the deceased was some relative to the prisoner's
wife. When I saw her come along, I called out as loud
as I could for Mr. Walters, our master, and some of the
servants came down. Before the prisoner came up to
where the deceased was lying, he said. " I was drove to
do it." A policeman came in immediately afterwards,
and the prisoner gave himself into custody in the pas-
sage, near the spot on which the deceased was lying.
The prisoner said to the policeman, " I have done it—l
have done it," and he was then taken into custody. The
deceased was not touched till the doctor came.

The Lord MAYOR—Prisoner, do you wish to ask the
witness any questions ?—The prisoner heaved a deep
sigh, and said, "No."

Inspector Woodruffe said I am an inspector of the
City of London police. This clay, about half-past
twelve o'clock, the prisoner was brought to the station-
house at Bow-lane on a charge of murder, in the custody
of John Dillon, No. 433. The prisoner said to me,
" Mr. Woodruffe, you know me very well," (at that time
I knew the nature of the charge against the prisoner).
said it was a bad job ' • and he replied, " I did it." I
asked him in what way ? He said, " I cut her throat
with a knife." I asked him whether they had been
quarrelling ? He said, " Yes, we had." I asked him
where the knife was He said, "I have left it in the
kitchen." I then went to the Guildhall Coffee-house,
where I found the deceased lying on her back at the
bottom of the staircase, near the front entrance. I then
went into the kitchen, and the constable (Gellatly)gave me
the black-handled knife I produce, which was then quite
wet, and covered with blood. I then left the kitchen,
and went to the deceased, and from her right hand
took a knife (a white-handled blunt knife), which she
had firmly grasped. At that time she was dead. The
doctor was then present.
The prisoner, upon being asked whether he had any
question to ask of Mr. Woodruffe, replied, shaking his
head, " None."

John Dillon: I am a city of London constable (433).
About twenty minutes past twelve this day I was called
into the Guildhall Coffee-house, and I saw the deceased
lying at the bottom of the staircase in the passage.
Prisoner, who was standing close by, said, " I have done
't, and I give myself in charge." I then took him to
Bow-lane station-house. In going to the station-house
asked him the question, how he came to do it ? He
.aid, "I was drove to do it." She had been calling me
All the rogues she could think of all the morning. I have
a wife and four children, and was afraid I should lose my
place at night from what she had said." When I got him
to the station-house I heard him address the inspector.
Ere said " You know me, Mr. Woodruffe ; I have done
it." I then returned to the Guildhall Coffee-house,
where Gellatly (policeman) was.
Thomas Gellatly (city policeman, 137) said, about
twenty minutes past twelve o'clock to-day I was called
to the Guildhall Coffee-house, and on entering the house
I saw the deceased lying at the bottom of the stairs,
with her throat cut. I then went into the kitchen with
ttozin (the boots) and saw the black-handled knife lying
on the table covered with wet blood. Blood had spirted
over the table, and there was a track of blood from the
table to the place in which the deceased was lying.
There were some French beans lying on the table in a
heap. There did riot appear to be any confusion in the
furniture of the kitchen, or in anything about. I ob-
served the cook's dress, consisting of two aprons,
marked "J. P. 5.," a jacket and a cap, spotted with
blood, lying on the table, and I took possession of them
I showed them to Inspector Woodruffe when he came
in. I gave him the knife, and I took the clothes.
Here Ruin (the boots) stated that when he saw the
prisoner before the deceased was killed he did not ap-
pear to be excited.

Mr. Coulson, the eminent surgeon, was next ex-
amined. He said—This day, about a quarter-past
twelve o'clock, I was sent for to the Guildhall Coffee-
house. I went thither without a moment's delay, and
upon entering the house I saw, at the foot of the main
staircase, a woman lying on her back, with her clothes
all covered with blood, and a towel put across her neck
to staunch the blood, and in her right hand a dessert
knife. She was quite dead. On removing the towel I
round a large and deep gash across the throat, beginning
from the extreme right, and extending across the neck.
The carotid artery and jugular vein were divided, which
would have caused almost instantaneous death. It was
too deep a gash, I should think, to have been inflicted
by the deceased herself. There was a smaller wound
under the wound I have described, but that did not
divide any important vessel. Two wounds had, it was
quite evident, been inflicted. The black-handled knife
which had been produced would have caused such
wounds. The white-handled knife (that found in the
hand of the deceased) I should think would be much less
likely to cause them. I applied some brandy and other
things, but she was quite dead.
Thomas Phillips, waiter at the Guildhall Coffee-house,
said—l was in the kitchen about five minutes before the
catastrophe occurred. At that time there were in the
kitchen the prisoner, a little girl who occasionally as-
sists, and the deceased, who was sitting on a stool at the
table, preparing some vegetables. The deceased was
cutting French beans. I was there but about a minute,
and I did not hear anything unpleasant between the pri-
soner and the deceased. The prisoner had some ducks,
but I did not observe any knife in his hand, and he had
his cook's dress on at the time. I left the kitchen, and
the little girl was then in the kitchen with the prisoner
and the deceased.

The Lonn MAYOR-Did you hear any quarrelling be-
meen them ? Witness-I did not.

The Lout. MAYOR—Have you heard that there ex-
isted a bad feeling between them ? Witness—l have,
but I never saw anything of it myself. About five minutes
afterwards I was coming along the passage, and saw the
deceased running out of the kitchen, 1 ran up to her,
and as she fell I laid her on the mat, and placed my
towel on her neck, to staunch the bleeding. About ten
minutes afterwards I saw the prisoner §tanding in the
passage, and I heard him say to the policeman, " I have
done it, and I give myself into your charge," and he was
taken away by the policeman.
The LORD MAYOR : Did you hear of the cause of
any dispute or quarrel between them ?—Witness The
deceased told me before the prisoner came this morning,
that she had bought a pound of tea for her mother, and
she believed that John (meaning the prisoner) had
taken it the night before.
The LORD MAYOR : Do you remember anything else
that she said ? Witness : She told me that she would
tax him with it when he came.

The LORD MAYOR : Did you hear anything of the
kind between them ?—Witness : I did not.

The LORD MAYOR : Nor any quarrel between them ?
—Witness : I did not.

The Loan MAYOR. : Prisoner, have you any questions
to put to this witness ?—The prisoner, without raising
his head, replied that he had no question at all to ask.
Emma Green, barmaid at the Guildhall Coffee-house,
said—A little after twelve o'clock, the little girl who
assists in the kitchen came to me at the bar directly
after Phillips went into the coffee-room, and she stood
at the bar waiting for some eggs and milk about three
or four minutes. Directly after I gave them to her, she
went towards the kitchen, and as she WAS going, she
screamed out, and I directly afterwards saw the deceased,
Susan Tolloday, rushing towards the passage, bleeding,
and lifting up her hands. She merely said, " Oh," and
I was so alarmed that I ran back into the bar. I have
never heard the deceased and the prisoner quarrelling
but once.
The Loan MAYOR —Was it this day you heard them
quarrelling? Witness—Oh, dear 1 no.
Inspector Woodruffe said the little girl who had been
spoken of as having been present in the kitchen for
some time during the morning had been taken home ill
from the coffee-room ; she had fainted, and would not,
in all probability, be able to give evidence during the
day.
The Loan MAYOR. Prisoner, as it will be necessary
to know exactly the name a the deceased, and also to

hear the evidence of the little girl, who is now unable
to attend, I shall not commit you this evening. I shall
remand you till Tuesday next, and I advise you, in the
meantime, to get legal assistance, for the charge against
you, as you must be aware, is one of the most serious
nature.

The prisoner, who seemed during the examination
which was very long, to know no remission of menta
suffering, was then conveyed to the Compter.

THE CORONER'S INQUEST.
On Saturday night an inquest was held on the body
of the deceased, in the Guildhall Coffee-house, before
Mr. Payne, the City coroner. One of the witnesses, a
young girl, had not been examined at the Mansion
House. Her evidenece, as will be seen, was very im-
portant. The evidnene of ithe other witnesses, with one
exception, was the same in substance as that which was
given at the Mansion House, and therefore it is unneces-
sary to repeat it here.
Fanny Wettenal, a girl of twelve years of age, ex-
amined—Resides in Half Moon-alley, Whitecross-street.
Came here to help deceased. Was in the kitchen about
five minutes before. She saw deceased with her throat
cut. She was cutting beans. The prisoner was trussing
ducks. They were quarrelling at the time. There was
no one in the kitchen but witness. They were quar-
relling about a Mrs. Riley, who had been here some
time before. The prisoner said to Mrs. Riley that
she had not paid him the amount of some things
she had bought from him, and that he would
take them away. She said she had paid for the things.
Deceased told the cook he was not acting like a man in
talking to the poor woman in that manner, and he would
find it out, perhaps, before many months were over his
head. He said, " She would, perhaps, before many days
were over her head." Witness went for some lard by
prisoner's directions, and the lady at the bar told witness
to tell him to come for it himself. Prisoner then told
witness to go out for some milk and eggs. Had been
gone a few minutes, and on her return saw deceased
running from the kitchen, bleeding very much from the
throat, and she fell at the foot of the stairs. Deceased
was sitting down when cutting the beans, and prisoner
was standing at the table, about a yard and a half from
her.

William Rozin—Lives at Mrs. Allmore's, 15, King-
street, Cheapside. Is 21 years of age. Is boots. Knew
the deceased ; she was his cousin. Thinks she was
about 22 years of age. Her father is a mason, and lives
at Cambridge. Deceased was single. Prisoner had
married the deceased's aunt.
The CORONER then briefly laid down the law of the
case, and the jury at once returned a verdict of " Wilful
murder against John Smith."
