BRUTAL INIURD6I-t IN HULL.

(From the HO Advertiser.)
INQUEST ON THE BODY, AND COMMITTAL OF

THE MURDERER.

Considerable consternation prevailed in the neighbour-
hood of Blanket-row at an early hour on Wednesday morn-
ing, in consequence of a rumour that Thomas Green, a
mariner, had murdered his wife. Policeman Gm don entered
Green's apartment, which is on the second floor of a house in
Hatter's-square, Martin's-alley, where he fraud Green seated
in a chair, with a handkerchief before his face, and apparently
very melancholy. A short distance from him his wife was
laid a corpse on the floor, heingeovered with a blanket. Gor
don immediately sent for Inspector Dorsey, who was on duty
at the Blanket-row station. and, ..n Green being a-ked if his
wife was dead, he answered in the affirm ative, and, without any
further interrogatories being put, entered into a staterneni of the
circumstances connected with the dreadful tragedy. It seems
that his wife was an habitual drunkard, and on that account
hey frequently quarrelled. 011 Tuesday evening his brother
called at his house, and invited him to accompany him to
Drypool feast, to which he consented, but. previous to leaving
home, he placed in the hands of his wife about 504. lie
returned some about two o'clock next morning, and, in
ascending the staircase, he stumbled over his wile, who was
laid drunk, and unable to proceed any farther. Perceiving
the state she was in he took the door-key from her pocket,
and, having obtained admission to the room, he returned to
the unfortunate woman, and then commenced a succession of
acts of violence which rroduced death. The first inquiry of
the husband was with respect to the money, but his wife was
unable to answer him, from the combined effects of the drink
she had partaken of, and the injury she had sustained, about
two hours before the arrival of Green, by falling heavily down
stairs. Her husband became enraged ; he dashed her head
several times against the stairs, and then, seizing her by the
hair of the head, dragged her into the room, where he searched
for kis money, but did not succeed in finding it. He then
left hold of her, and she fell on the floor. Whilst in that
position the husband got into bed alongside his two sons, the
eldest of whom is not more than 12 years of age; but after
being there about half an hour, he darted out of bed, and
again attacked his unfortunate victim, by jumping upon her
body. He likewise struck and kicked her, and eventually
knocked her head-foremost down stairs, where she lay
moaning for a length of time, when the husband carried her
up stairs, laid her on the floor, and then retired to rest. On
rising shortly before six o'clock he was horror-struck on
finding that his brutality had ended in the death of has wife,
and his eldest boy called in a neighbour. He was soon after-
wards taken into custody.
An inquest was subsequently held, and the jury returned a
verdict of " Wiltul Murder against Thomas Green."

MR. RIC H A KID DUNN AND MISS

BURDETT COUTTS AGAIN.

From the following extraordinary and unique proceedings it
will be seen that Mr. Richard Dunn, nothing loth of the in-
dictment which has been found against him by the Grand
Jury at the Central Criminal Court in June last for perjury,
and upon the warrant subsequently issued for his apprehension,
and of his committal to Newgate, the par: iculars of which ap-
peared in our journal of the sth inst., is determined to obtain
the 100,000/. which he alleges he has the authority of Miss
Burdett Courts to draw out of the banking-house of Courts and
Co. ; as in the course of Wednesday morning the Learned
Gentleman went to the Court of Bankruptcy for the purpose of
swearing an affidavit before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, but
that learned functionary nct ritting, he went i-nd swore the
following affiaavit before Mr. Colanissioner Goulburn, which
was signed as a matter of course, not the slightest remark pass •
ing, beyond the officer of the Court sating, this is your name
and handwriting, arid the contents of this your affidavit
true? to which Mr. Dunn replied in the affirmative. The
following is a copy of the affila 'it .
