TIIE HUMAN HAM.

ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL is justly
renowned throughout the world for its remarkable virtues,

in nourishing, preserving, and beautifying the human hair. Its
operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active ; so that, in
numerous instances wherein other remedies have been tried in vain,
ROWLANDS' MACASSA.R OIL has superseded the ornaments of
art, by effecting a complete restoration of beautiful hair. In the
growth of whiskers, eyebrows, and mustachios, it is also unfailing
in its stimulative operation. For children it is especially recom-
mended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and
rendering the use of the fine comb unnecessary.

Price Ss. Gd. and 7s. ; or family bottles (equal to four small) at
Os. Gd.; and double that size, 21s.

CAUTION.—On the wrapper of each bottle of the genuine article
are these words in two lines, " ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL."
The same are engraved on the back of the wrapper nearly 1,500
times, containing 29,025 letters.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—Bury St. Edmunds, April 5.
Tim LAWSHALL MURDER.—The trial of George
Carnt for the murder of Elizabeth Bainbridge, which
has created so much -interest throughout the whole of
this part of the country, was brought to a close lest
night in the Crown Court of this assize. The Lord
Chief Justice Jervis presided on the bench, and daring
the day, from eight o'clock in the morning, the court was
most densely crowded, women, as usual, forming a large
portion of the auditory.
The prisoner, on being arraigned, pleaded not guilty,
in a firm voice. He is a good-looking young man, and
his features certainly do not indicate the ferocity of dis-
position requisite to commit the deed with which he was
charged. He is described as 23 years of age, and was
attired in a fustian coat and plaid trowsers.
Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Couch were counsel for the
prosecution, and Mr. Power defended the accused.
Many of the facts of this deliberate murder bore a
strong similarity to the crime for which Thomas Drory
recently suffered at Chelmsford. The unfortunate
woman, Elizabeth Bainbridge, was about 30 years of
age. Some nine or ten years ago she married the
butler cf a clergyman in the neighbourhood of Sea-
wardstone. Her husband had since joined the corps
of Royal Sappers and Miners, and it appeared that
they had not been living together for the last seven
years. With her child, the result of wedlock, she
went and resided with her father, who is a hard-working
and respectable farmer at Lawshall, in this county.
Here she conducted herself with every propriety, and it
seemed she was much liked in the vicinity. The prisoner
was a young agricultural labourer in the same village,
and for his position might be called respectably off It
may be at once necessary to explain that the murder
was committed late in the afternoon of the 20th of last
January. For ten or eleven days previously the deceased
had been staying with her sister, whose husband, Mr.
Payne, kept the Harrow public-house at Lawshall. The
prisoner had also been lodging there for about a week.
They had been seen conversing together in rather an
earnest strain, and it is thought, although there is no
direct evidence of the fact, that he being desirous of
pressing an intimacy which she indignantly rejected, led
to her untimely fate. However, on the afternoon of the
20th of last January, about half-past three o'clock, she
left the Harrow for the purpose of returning home to her
parent's farm, proceeding across the fields as the nearest
way. She had with her a bundle, and was attired in a
blue cloak, dark dress, a green silk bonnet, and a vic-
torine round her neck. The prisoner was in the kitchen
when she left, and upon her going out of the front door
the back one was heard to open, and Carnt was found
to have also left. The course he took was not par-
ticularly noticed, but as will be subsequently seen he
overtook the deceased. The evening having far ad-
vanced, and the parents finding she did not reach home,
became alarmed about her, and the father set out to Mr.
Payne's, who keeps the Harrow, to learn some tidings
about her. There he learned her departure, and her
absence became the more mysterious. Shortly after
seven o'clock Carnt returned to the Harrow, having let
himself in by the back door. He seemed very much
agitated, and shook considerably. He had no hat on,
and his clothes were wet and dirty. He stood before the
kitchen fire several minutes without saying anything,
and he then suddenly remarked, " The halter is for my
neck." Mr. Payne said, " Nonsense; what had he been
doing?" He made no reply. Mr. Payne then pro-
ceeded to assist him in taking off his clothes, when he
begged that he might be let alone. " Let me alone,"
he observed; " it does not signify what becomes of me;
the gallows is my doom." Ho was then given a glass
of brandy, with a view of rousing, and preventing him
catching cold. He was asked where he had been, and
he prayed that he might not be asked any questions, as
the gallows was his doom. He then expressed a wish
to go up stairs to bed, and his wet clothes being re-
moved, he was put to bed, and wrapped np in blanets
by Mr. Payne and a person named Farrow.
After he had retired a short time, Farrow
went up to ask him how ho was. Carnt replied, "No
better; the halter will be my doom, fur the devil has got
hold of me." He then wished Farrow to give him his
hand, Farrow did so, and the prisoner said, " This is the
last time I ever shall see you." By this period the state
of the prisoner, the admissions he had made, and the
continued absence of the deceased, increased the alarm
as to her fate. The village constable was consulted,
and the officer being shown the prisoner's clothes and
his boots, which were covered with mud, he went up to
him and asked him what was the matter. He made no
reply. The constable then inquired of him where Eliza-
beth Bainbridge was, and he continued silent. He was
then told that he must consider himself in custody on
suspicion of making away with deceased, and search was
then made in the fields between the Harrow and the
parent's farm. Being provided with lanterns, they traced
the marks or footsteps of two persons, a man and
woman, going as if from the Harrow, and the foot-
marks of one, a man, coming back. In the heels of the
latter could be plainly discerned the impression of the nails
and plates, which corresponded with Carnt's boots, and
which were compared at the time of the search. Several
meadows were traversed, and on arriving at a pond in a
remote part of a pasture, some eight or nine rods from
a stile, the clothes of a woman were discovered. The
officer then went into the water and brought out the
body of a woman, which was at once identified to be the
deceased. She was quite dead and stiff. She had no
bonnet on, and her hair was quite dishevelled. The
gown was torn all round, nearly from the gathers.
There was blood flowing from her nostrils, and there
was an appearance of a severe blow on her right cheek,
just under her eye. The pond was partially surrounded
by thorns. About Rye yards from the pond was found
her cloak, which was much torn, and the strings were
cut. Other articles of her dress were also found in the
same disordered state. After the body had been
properly removed, the officer returned to the Harrow,
and again went to Carnt, who was in bed. He told
him that he should take him into custody for mur-
dering the deceased, Elizabeth Bainbridge. He made
no answer. On the following morning the soil near
the pond was searched, and there was distinctly
traced the appearance of two persons scuffling.
There was the print of a man's foot slipping
into the pond, and where he fell; and on the other side
of the pond were found the same marks of the man leav-
ing the pond. The prisoner's shoes were compared with
these marks, and they corresponded in width, length,
and the toe-plates. The deceased's victorine was found,
and it seemed to have been pulled over her head, the
string not being untied. The pond was not more than
two or three feet deep. On the body being examined
by Mr. King, a surgeon, unmistakable appearances pre-
sented themselves that the deceased could not have de-
stroyed herself in the pond. This opinion was confirmed
by Mr. Savage, the eminent surgeon of the county hos-
pital, who, at considerable length and with much abi-
lity, explained the grounds for his coming fo the conclu-
sion that she had not committed the act herself, but
that she had been forcibly detained in the water. There
were marks below her elbows as if she had been
pinched in being kept down. There were bruises on
the chest and arms. Death had resulted from suffoca-
tion and drowning. A vast amount of other circum-
stantial evidence was adduced, amongst which it may be
stated that on the afternoon of the murder the deceased
and the prisoner were seen together in a field near the
pond, and that in his pockets, after he returned to the
Harrow, were found some trifling articles which be-
longed to the deceased.
Jr.l POWER then made a powerful appeal on behalf of
the accused, and urged that if he was convicted, it ought
to be upon the minor charge.
The Rev. Mr. Bailey, of Lawshall, was called to give
the prisoner a character. Ho said that he bore a better
character than most men in the parish.
His LORDSHIP, having summed up at much length, the
jury, after a brief examination, returned a verdict of
Guilty.
The Learned JUDGE then put on the black cap and
proceeded to pass sentence of death on the prisoner in
the usual form, holding out not the slightest hope of
mercy.
The convict appeared not in the least affected at his
awful doom.
To-day Maria Clarke was.arraigned for the murder of
her illegitimate child, six weeks old, by burying it alive.
The particulars of this horrid act of barbarity have
already appeared. The evidence was of the most con-
vincing character.
The jury, after a short consultation, pronounced a ver-
dict of Guilty, and sentence of death was pronounced
upon the prisoner.

farlane, soldiers of the 15th Regiment of Infantry, were
indicted for the wilful murder of John Pim, at the parish
of St. Thomas, in Bristol, o❑ the 3d of May, 1849.
When the prisoners were arraigned, they sent up a
written communication to his Lordship, praying that as
they were not defended by counsel his Lordship would
be so good as to assign them counsel.
LEA LORDSIIIP, having read the paper, stated its effect,
and said he should be obliged if some gentleman of the
bar would de end them—if the senior in court would un-
dertake the d,ity.
The menaheri of the bar having by their looks indi-
cated Mr. It. Thomas as the senior,
Isis LORDSHIP requested that gentleman to undertake
the duty, and Mr. Thomas at once complied.
The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Skinner.
After a long investigation,
The jury found them Guilty of manslaughter.
The sentence was deferred till to-morrow.

THE QUEEN V. SHELDON.
_ _ _

Mr. Greavea and Mr. Pigott appeared for the prosecu-
tion; and Mr. Alexander, Mr. Keating, and Mr. Fallon
for the defendant.

This was an indictment for an assault preferred against
a most respectable surgeon at Cheltenham, by a young
woman, named Lydia Stryde, the daughter of a tailor
in that town.

At the close of the case for the prosecution,
Mr.-ALEXANDER addressed the pry, submitting that
the entire statement of the prosecutrix was totally un-
worthy of credit.
A great number of gentlemen of the highest respect-
ability from Cheltenham deposed to the defendant's most
irreproachable conduct in every relation of life.
When his Lordship was aboat to sum up,
The Foreman of the jury said—We wish to save your
Lordship the trouble of summing up. We have already
come to our conclusion, and wish to find a verdict for
the defendant, if we may in course do so, and we are
desirous of adding that wo do not think there is the
slightest blemish on Mr. Sheldon's character.
His LORDSHIP said with great earnestness—l en-
tirely agree with you. Ido not believe there is a word
of truth in that girl's statement, and the defendant
leaves the court without the slightest imputation on his
character.

Verdict—Not Guilty.
This termination of the case was hailed with loud ex-
pressions of satisfaction from all parts of the court.
The following case has engaged the Court since two
o'clock on Thursday:—

G AISFORD V. KARR, CLERK.-CHA.RGE OF ADULTERY

AGAINST A CLERGYMAN.

Mr. Whateley, Mr. Skinner, and Mr. Cooke appeared
for the prosecution; and Mr. Keating, Mr. Sergeant
Allen, and Mr. Grey for the defendant.
Mr. COOKE having opened the pleadings,
Mr. WHATELEY stated the case. The plaintiff, he
said, was an attorney and solicitor at Berkeley, in
this county, and had practised there since 1835, and the
defendant was the vicar of that town. Mrs. Gaisford
was the daughter of a Mr. Ulph, a respectable timber-
merchant at Lowestoft, in Suffolk, and had been adopted
from infancy by the family of the late Rev. John Amyas,
rector of Theustead, in that county. In 1835 the plain-
tiff was introduced to Miss Ulph, and married her in the
September of that year. They lived most happily for
several years. They had four children—all sons. Un-
luckily for their peace and happiness, the plaintiff was
employed by the defendant, in 1840, to collect his tithes
and manage his professional business. This led to an
acquaintance and intimacy, which resulted in the ruin of
the plaintiff's happiness, and the blighting of all his
fondest hopes. The Learned Gentleman proceeded to
draw, in a very eloquent and affecting address, an out-
line of the various circumstances, which will be found
detailed in the following evidence:—
William Gaisford, father of the plaintiff, residing at
Worton, near Devizes, in Wiltshire. The plaintiff went
to reside and practise at Berkeley, in 1835, and in Sep-
tember of that year was married to Miss Elizabeth Ulph,
who had been brought up from infancy by the Misses
Amyas. Objected very much to the marriage, as plain-
tiff was very young, and she had no property. He was
then only 24.
Miss Elizabeth Amyas was daughter of the late Rev.
J. Amyas, rector of Theustead, in Suffolk. After the
marriage had frequently visited them at Berkeley. Till
1846 they lived very happy. Mr. Karr became vicar in
1839. Remember in 1844 a carpet was to be worked for
him. She was to work the centre. Was on a visit at
Mr. Gaisford's in 1849, in the spring. Observed some-
thing that attracted my attention—it was at the archery
meeting held in Mr. Gaisford's field. Did not think
Mr. Karr behaved as he should have done to a married
woman. When she went to pick up her arrows I observed
him to take her hand as they were stooping. Observed
that more than once. Noticed nothing in his conduct
towards her but one evening—he took her hand and
sat very close to her. This was at Mr. Gaisford's. We
were seated at supper. Mrs. Gaisford sat at the head of
the table during supper. Mr. Karr was sitting at Mrs.
Gaisford's right hand. After supper they altered their
places—he got closer to her at the corner of the table,
and she moved her chair nearer to him. It was then I
observed he was holding her hand under the table. I
said to Mrs. Gaisford, '• Move your chair to your own
place." I saw Mr. Gaisford, who had been seated at the
foot of the table, get up and go to the closet, and return
by the back of the chair. When he returned to his seat
I saw him stoop and look under the table for a newspaper.
Ho dropped the newspaper, and then picked it up. Mr.
Karr did not remain long after Mr. Gaisford looked
under the tables. He went away soon after. Mrs. Gais-
ford did not come back to her former place when I spoke
to her. I was present at four or five archery meetings,
and Mr. Karr and Mrs. Gaisford were present at those.
After the supper party, when I saw the hand, Mr. Karr
was never admitted to see her alone. When Mr. Gais-
ford was at home and Mr. Karr called Mr. Gaisford
came into the room, and when he was not at home I
went in. Soon after the supper party Mr. Karr one day
went through to go into the office. Mr. and Mrs. Gais-
ford met bins in the hall, and he gave her the bowstring.
Mr. Karr had called at the window two or three times
that day. I had spoken to Mr. Gaisford between Mr.
Karr's visits and his bringing the bowstring. In the course
of that day Mrs. Gaisford and Miss Hazeland were in
the room when Mr. Karr called. When Mr, Karr went
away I observed nothing in Mr. Gaisford's manner.
The next day he made an inquiry of me; he looked
very ill. Never before that had spoken to him about
what I had seen. It made him very unhappy. The next
morning the Linton water-party was to come off and Mr.
Karr came to the door. Mrs. Gaisford was seeing the
things packed in the hall, and she went and spoke to
him in a vary under-tone, and went to the water-side.
Mr. Gaisford was very ill. They left me for sa three
days' journey. Mr. Gaisford went with them. They
came back that evening—the same day they went. The
next morning saw Mr. Bigs, Mr. Gaisford, and Mrs.
Gaisford together. Learned that morning of Mrs.
Gaisford's going from home. She went the next morn-
ing with Mr. Gaisford. They were gone about a week
and returned together. After Mr. Gaisford was gone,
heard something that a groom had done. Saw Mr. Karr
pass by. I called him and said, " You have received
a note this morning from Mrs. Gaisford, give up the
letter the groom has given you." He said he had had
no letter. I said, " You have had a letter." He said
he had not, and if he had he had thrown it into the
fire or under the table. I told him I should call on the
groom, and then, at last, ho said ho had had it. I
begged of him to give it to me or send it to Mr.
Gaisford. He laughed. I told bins 'he did not act
like a clergyman and ought to be ashamed of himself,
and was a disgrace to his cloth. He only laughed
and asked for the children to go out to fish. I told him
he ought to be very careful, for Mr. Gaisford was not a
man to submit. He said nothing to that. Was not at
Berkeley in 1847. At the interview which I had with
Mr. Karr he said he received a number of letters from
young ladies, and they were of no consequence, and he
threw them into the fire. Remember finding five pair of
white satin shoes in her wardrobe, at Berkeley, in 1848.
Saw a note written by Mr. Gaisford to Mr. Karr, with
the shoes, in which he said he returned five pair of shoes,
which he understood he had made a present of to Mrs.
Gaisford, as he could not allow her to accept a present
from him or to hold communication with him. (The an-
swer was then admitted to be to the effect requiring the
plaintiff to send in his accounts, and declining to allow
him to continue his agent.) After Mrs. Gaisford re-
turned from London, in 1848, her conduct was different
from what it was before. She had been very lively and
talkative before, and she was then very silent. She was
very kind to her children, very quiet towards her hus-
band. She left on the 10th of June. What I mean by
saying that Mrs. Gaisford was very quiet, was that she
seldom spoke to him. Mr. Gaisford left on the 9th of
June. Mrs. Gaisford left on the next day. She was a
lady with prominent teeth. She was very handsome.
On the morning of the 10th received a letter from Mr.
Gaisford; read it to Mrs. Gaisford, and soon after she
left home. She went to Bath to my sister, Miss Francis
Amyas, and has remained with her since.
Eliza Perry—Am housemaid to Mr. Gaisford, and
have been so for six years. When Mr. Gaisford was in
the habit of walking out in the afternoon, remembers
Mrs. Gaisford once sending us all—me. the cook, the
nurse, and the children out.
It was now six o'clock, and the Court adjourned.
April 4.
The case was resumed this morning at nine o'clock.
Mr. George Hicks, solicitor at Berkeley, remembered
Mr. Gaisford's coming to Berkeley. He and Mrs.
Gaisford were visited by the respectable people of
Berkeley. The vicarage house is immediately opposite
to my house. Mr. and Sirs. Gaisford and Mr. Karr were
on intimate terms up to 1846. About 1845 and 1846
Mrs. Gaisford appeared to take a great interest in Mr.
Karr and his affairs. At the time of the general election
Mr. Gaisford was much from home. Miss Hicks, my
sister, lived with me. She and Mrs. Gaisford were about
that time on very intimate terms—more intimate than
before. When Mrs. Gaisford came to visit my sister,
Mr. Karr came over several times. She used to call
often on ray sister. I did not observe, on the part of

Mr. Karr, anything particular towards Mrs. Gaisford.
I did not observe anything on the part of Mrs. Gaisford
except that she sometimes appeared very excited on the
occasions of her visits to my house.
Wm. Pope—Was a grocer residing at Berkeley. In
1847, during the contested election for the county, Mr.
Gaisford was frequently from home conducting the elec-
tion. During that time saw the defendant and Mrs,
Gaisford frequently tgether in the town and out of the
tlwn, Mrs. Gaisford walking and defendant riding.
Also saw the defendant during that time frequently,
very frequently, at Mrs. Gaisford's. Observed when he
came up the door was opened frequently without his
knocking. Remember one Sunday Mrs. Gaisford com-
ing from church (while Mr. Gaisford was from home),
and, going to the window, lift up the sash, throwing i❑
her book, and going back and meeting the defendant as
he came from church. They walked together to the
market-plaCe. She had in her hand a letter; they were
reading it together. He was looking over the letter. In
1843 observed when plaintiff left the house defendant
called—that has happened frequently. On those occa-
sions the door was opened sometimes without being
knocked at; sometimes with being knocked at.
Cross-examined—l used to serve Mr. Karr with gro-
ceries formerly. About nine years since he ceased to
deal with me. My premises were once searched by the
Excise officers, and an article that could be used in the
adulteration of pepper was found there, and I paid 251.
to the Excise. The warrant was not to my knowledge
signed by Mr. Karr.
James King—l am a grocer at Berkeley. In 1847
and 1848 I lived in Marybrook. It was about 200 yards
from the Vicarage. In those years I saw Mrs. Gaisford
and Mr. Karr often together at the gate of the Vicarage
close. That gate leads to Mr. Karr's stables by a pri-
vate way, not a publics road. Saw them there many
times together, sometimes by themselves, sometimes

with others. There is a place called Lady Mead, about'
three-quarters of a mile from the Vicarage. Saw her
there in March, 1848. She was alone first, walking to
and fro on the road. That is a retired place. Mr. Karr
came up and met her. He was on his horse.
Mr. Charles Bigs—Live in Herefordshire. In the
summer of 1848 met Mr. Gaisford at the Lea, about
four miles from Ross. He was waiting for me there. He
appeared then in the most distressed state of mind. He
made a communication to me. I went the next evening
to Berkeley, and went to the house of Mr. Croome. Mrs.
Gaisford and Mr. Karr were there, and as I went in
Mrs. Gaisford and Mr. Karr were sitting near together.
I did not perceive any movement which Mr. Karr made
when I went. I did not observe whether he changed
his place. Heard that a water party was arranged. I
was consulted about it. I advised Mr. and Mrs. Gals-
ford first not to go, but was afterwards induced to con-
sent to the party being carried out, on the urgent solici-
tations of Mrs. Gaisford. The water party was to con-
tinue for three or four days, as circumstances miget arise.
It continned only one day, as far as Mr. Gaisford was
concerned, by my advice.
Anne Westcoat, in 1848, was parlour-maid to Mrs.
Phelps, who is now dead. Mrs. Phelps lived in Somers-
place, Oxford•square, London. Mrs. Gaisford once
visited her, and Mr. Gaisford twice. Mrs. Gaisford's
visit was in Easter week, 1848. She came on the Tues-
day. On the Friday following dressed her. She went
out at half-past ten or quarter to eleven, alone. She
frequently after that week was over took a walk every
morning after breakfast when it was fine. She went
out as I was going up stairs. She said she was going to
Mr. Gaisford's friends at Hackney. She returned that
night at half-past nine or a quarter to ten. It was my
business to take in the letters generally. Before that
visit was concluded Mr. Gaisford came to town.

Re-examined—Was in the habit of undressing Mrs.
Gaisford. On the Friday evening I went into her room,
and offered to undress her. On that night I only un-
fastened her dress, as she said she would undress her-
self as it was late. The next morning she made a
change in her linen. On the Saturday morning saw
shift in her trunk in her own bed-room. On the Mon-
day the other clothes were sent to the wash. The shift
was not sent.

By a juror—lt was put at the bottom of the box,
under the other things, and as I put other things in I
observed it.
Charles Bryant, waiter five or six years at Fladong's
Hotel—Knew Mr. Seaton Karr. Did not know the day
the wedding took place. A lady called one day from
ten to twelve o'clock, and asked if Mr. Seaton Karr was
within. I said I would go and inquire. I went, and
blot faund he ws in his bed-room, and told her
he was at a, and showed her into No. 32 sitting
room. I ed he had used it. He breakfasted gene-
rally. I it'3. the la4y her name. She said," My name
is of trok.onsequence. Mr. Seaton Karr expects a lady
soon." He went soon after into the room, No. 32. No
one else was there then. She was a middle-aged lady.
To the best of my recollection her dress was a black or
dark dress. Do not know bow long she stayed. The
lady came by the Oxford entrance. Several porters were
employed at that time.
Kate Goold, a chambermaid at Fladong's Hotel in
April, 1848, remembered a lady calling for Mr. Karr.
lle did not stay more than ten minutes in No. 32 with
her.

Hannah Crouch, a chambermaid, at Fladong's Hotel,
remembered a lady calling in April, 1848, between eleven
and twelve o'clock, for Mr. Seaton Karr's room. After-
wards saw her at Boulogne. Heard her spoken tp at
Boulogne as Mrs. Gaisford, and she answered to that
name.

Thomas Joyce, another waiter at Fladong's, corro-
borated the previous witnesses.
David Brooke—Was painting Fladong's Hotel in
April, 1848. Remembered the wedding. The next day
saw a lady in the passage, and was so struck with her
figure and appearance. She had very large fine teeth
in front. Had on a black velvet dress, a large Paisley
shawl, and a piece of red ribbon round her neck. She
picked up her clothes as she came out of the door and
crossed the road to the other aide. She ran into a shop
next door to a public-house. She was very much agi-
tated at the time. She ran out again as if she was mis-
taken, and then went into a carver and gilder's shop.
That was Mr. Nurse's shop. Mr. Karr called out di-
rectly, before she hardly got into Nurse's. He went
round into Henrietta-street. She was on the right-hand
side, and he on the left-hand side. She was on the side
opposite to Nurse's shop. When he passed opposite
Nurse's he looked across. The lady came to the door,
and they recognised each other. She then went round
Henrietta-street. Saw him again in five minutes. He
came up. A cab followed him. The cab stopped at
the end of Old Cavendish-street with the head of the
horse towards Cavendish-square. The lady came
out of the shop. Mr. S. Karr handed her into a cab,
and they drove off. He got in with her. On Sunday,
the 23d of December, 1849, was in Stanhope-street,
Bath, in a house opposite to N 0.24. About church time
I saw the front door of No. 24 open, and three ladies
coming out, and I said at once to Miss Hall, who was in
the room, " That is the lady I saw at Fladong's Hotel."
She said, "That is Mrs. Gaisford." Have been since to
Berkeley, and saw Mr. Karr on horseback.
Henry Bishop, a painter and glazier, swore to having
seen a lady at Fladong's with a black dress and white
straw bonnet; age between thirty and forty. Noticed
her coming out. Corroborated Brooks as to what the
lady and gentleman did in Cavennish-street.
David Molland, a painter, also corroborated.
George Collins—l am a cab-driver. Live at No. 7,
Queen's-place, Westminster. In the spring of 1548,
drove an orange-coloured cab, and a brown horse.
Remember being on the Oxford-street stand on a
morning in April, about half-past ten, or a quarter
to eleven. A gentleman came up to me about five mi-
nutes past eleven and hailed me, and ordered me to
drive up to Old Cavendish-street. A lady and gentle-
man got into the cab. Did not see the lady before she
got in. Was directed to drive into the City. As I was
going through Holles-street the gentlemen desired me
to drive to the first best glove-shop. Drove to a shop
nearly opposite the Pantheon. There is a golden lamb
in each window. They went into the shop, and returned
in a few minutes and drove into the City to the end of the
Poultry. The lady brought white kid gloves out of the
shop, and I drove through new Oxford-street and down
Museum-street, New Oxford- street. It was not quite
finished. As I was going through New Oxford-street I
thought I heard something fall in the cab. I drove them into
the Poultry, and there let them out, and watched them
some distance beyond the European public-house, and
saw the gentleman call another cab—an old one. They
got in and drove away. It was about twenty minutes
to twelve o'clock when they got out of my cab. Was on
the Oxford-street stand the next day, and saw the came
gentleman again. He called me, and I was going to
pull up to him, and he said "No," but desired
be
to get off my box and come to him. He said,. I

did not see his face, but I could swear to him by his
to
walk and swing of the arms. I went Boulogne, and
saw the lady there. I asked her was she Mrs. Gaisford?
She said " Yes." I said, " I beg your pardon, madam."
Cross-examined—Did not notice whether the lady's
bonnet was crushed or crumpled.
.She was too sharp.
She went into the glove-shop too quick.
But I thought you
saw this after the
glove-shop?
Witness—Oh, yes; when she got out in the City. The
lower part of her gown was crumpled. Could not see
whether she bad drawers on. It she had long drawers
on I would have seen them. The gentleman was sitting
down on the front seat.
George Salmon, a cabman—Was about twelve o'clock
on Friday in Laster week, 1848, near the Mansion House,
opposite to the European Coffee-house, when a waterman
told me there was a fare for me. I looked and saw a
gentleman near the coffee-house door. The gentleman
handed the lady in. The lady's dress was, I thought,
very gay
for that time of year. She had a black dress,
a white veil, white bonnet and white gloves. She had a
large Paisley shawl. Her neck-tie was fastened with a
brooch in front. She had white and large teeth. Ob-
served nothing particular in her manner. Drove them
first into Bishopsgate-street, and when I got there the
gentleman got out at a brush shop, went into the shop,
and returned, and then ordered me to drive straight on.
Drove to very near Shoreditch Church, and asked
which way I was to go, and was told to go straight

down the Hackney-road, and was pulled up near the
Roebuck public-house, kept by Mr. Calling. The gen-
tleman got out, invited me to take a glass of ale,
and I was served with it by one of Mr. Gilling's
nieces. While I was drinking it (he had nothing
to drink) the gentleman paid for it, and then mo-
tioned me to step back from the bar, and asked me
if there was not a respectable house in that neighbour-
hood. Ile did this in an under tone of voice, stooping
towards me. At first I did not understand, and said,
"I do not know what you mean." He said,. " A re-
spectable house where you can take a lady. I then
knew what he meant, and said there was one close by.
We went out and drove them to Weymouth-terrace,
Hackney-road, and there stopped, and pointed out the
door of the house, which is round the corner. The
person who kept the house was Mrs. Jones. Had driven
people there before in the evening time. The gentleman
went and knocked at the door and went in, and came
back after some minutes. I opened the cab-door, he
handed the lady out, and they went into the house.
Then observed her shawl. He returned and paid me
2s, I asked biro if we should wait, and he turned round
and said " No." I got home about half-past twelve
o'clock, and mentioned it to my wife. lafterwards men-
tioned it to my master.
Re-examined—l believe the man I saw at Berkeley
was the man I drove at London; but I could not point-
edly swear it. So I believe the person I saw in Boulogne
was the lady, though I could not swear it.
Miss Julia Gaisford, cousin to the plaintiff, deposed
that she lived at Sutten-place, Hackney. She remem-
bered Mrs. Gaisford coming to London in the Easter
week of 1848. Witness was at dinner with her sisters
at about half-past one o'clock on Friday, the 28th of
April, when Mrs. Gaisford arrived unexpectedly at their
house. Witness described her dress as very similar to
the deseriptioa given by the witnesses who had been
examined before, via., straw bonnet with white veil,
black velvet dress, light-coloured shawl, &a., and wore a
red ribbon round the throat, and a cameo brooch. She
bad also white gloves. She dined with the witness and
her sisters, and remained there until half-past seven in
the evening, when she departed ill an omnibus. They
usually dined at one o'clock, or a quarter-past.
Rev. Thomas Murray Browne, vicar of Standish,
Gloucestershire, remembered an investigation before him-
self and other clergymen, to inquire into the truth of cer-
tain rumours which had got abroad as to the conduct of
Mr. Karr. The gentlemen engaged in that inquiry were
the Rev. G. Madon, rural dean; Rev. Mr. Perkins, Sir
G. Prevost, Mr. Cornewall, and himself. The inquiry
was directed by the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol.
Mr. Karr wished to know whether Mr. Gaisford was an
accuser, to which Mr. Gaisford replied he was not, and
that he was there against his will, upon which the com-
mission decided that parties should give what informa-
tion they thought fit, and that nothing should be used
against Mr. Karr which transpired at that inquiry in
any way. The commission had no power to compel par-
ties to appear before them, their inquiry was not of a
judicial character. Mr. Karr was only to answer as
much as he thought fit, and then the matter was gone
into. A statement had been taken down by Mr. Madon,
and it was read at Mr. Karr's desire, and in his presence.
[-That statement, it appeared, was furnished chiefly by
Mr. Gaisford.] Mr. Karr occasionally made remarks
upon it, and witness took notes of those remarks.
Mr. WHATELY now proposed to put the statement of
Mr. Gaisford in as evidence, it having been read in Mr.
Karr's presence.
Mr. KEATING and Mr. GRAY contended that the do-
cument ought not to be received.
His LORDSHIP, however, said he could not reject it
under the circumstances.

The stement was then read. It was in the shape of a
diary, and was headed, " Statement made by Mr. Gais-
ford, before the five clergymen appointed by the bishop
to inquire into the rumours concerning the Rev. J. S.
Karr and Mrs. Gaisford, at Darsley rectory, on the
10th of May, 1849, in the presence of the Rev. J. S.
Karr, and Mr. Karr's observations thereon." The diary
commenced from September, 1844, and was continued at
intervals down to June, 1848, when Mrs. Gaisford finally
left her husband's roof. It narrated the events which
Mr. Gaisford had considered suspicious, and which had
led to the bringing of this action. The notes of Mr.
Karr's observations were very brie&
This closed the plaintiff's case.
Mr. KEATING rose to reply on the case. The case was
one, as they must be well aware, which involved a very
serious charge against the defendant, Mr. Karr. It
would be a serious charge against any person who should
be placed in the same situation as the defendant, but to
a person occupying the position that Mr. Karr occupied,
the substantiation of this charge against him might be
summed up in one single little word, and that was
" ruin." The ease undoubtedly presented many features
which were very peculiar, and differed in many of its es-
sential points, as far as the evidence is concerned, from
any ho had ever met with in his experience, or
recollected to have occurred. Mr. Karr went to Berke-
ley in 1839, and soon after employed the plaintiff
to collect his rents and the tithes of his living. Mrs.
Gaisford was then 31 years of age. Mr. Karr was an ac-
tive magistrate, end Mr. Gaisford the magistrate's clerk,
and in consequence an acquaintance sprung up between
the former and the family of the latter ; and Mr. Karr
was now called before them in consequeriee of that evi-
dence, and transactions put in evidence against him, not
of a month, or three months, or three years, but transac-
tions extending from 1844 almost to the present time.
Mr. Whateley, for the plaintiff, had divided his case into
two parts—of what took place at Berkeley and the
country, and what was alleged to have taken place in
London. He then referred to the advantages which Mr.
Gaisford had over Mr. Karr in this case, he being pos-
sessed of a knowledge of the law, and bad therefore been
years preparing for the scene which was then acting at
the assizes. Mr. Gaisford had a great advantage in having
had the statement which had been read in court yester-
day previously read by Mr. Karr, which had had the
effect of making it evidence. He then adverted to the
first coming of Miss Amyas to live with the plaintiff
occasionally, from 1844, up to the 9th of June, 1848,
when Mrs. Gaisford left her husband. He com-
mented on the improbability of any improper intimacy
being exhibited by the parties at the archery meetings
in an open field, surrounded by the respectable families
of the locality, and, on one occasion, even in the presence
of Mr. Gaistord himself. After alluding to the facts of
the case, the Learned Counsel proceeded to comment on
Mrs. Gaisford's going to London in February, 1848,
having at that time had a serious illness. In the April
following Mr. Karr went to London for the purpose of
marrying his brother, and this latter matter was well
known in the locality of Berkeley. Before Mr. Karr
went to London, Mrs. Gaisford had gone there to visit
her friends, and out of what then took place was now
manufactured—he used that word advisedly—charges
which were entirely false. It was well known that Mr.
Karr was in the habit of using Fladong's Hotel when in
London, and there, on this occasion, he was staying with
his aunt, who had also come to the wedding, when one
morning he was told that a lady was waiting to see
him. On going down stairs he saw the lady was Mrs.
Gaisford, and knowing perfectly well the inference that
would be put upon this visit, he at once, without waiting
to introduce Mrs. Gaisford to his aunt, insisted upon
her leaving the hotel. He let her out of the hotel, went
for a cab, and putting her into it, went with her to
Regent-circus, and getting out of the cab there walked
down Regent-street, seeing her there for the last time;
and he did not believe he had ever seen her since. She
continued on towards where she was going, and Mr.
Karr proceeded to the stores of Mr. Cunningham, with
whom he was in the habit of dealing, and also to a fish-
ing-tackle maker's, named Bernard. From this latter
tradesman's, Mr. Karr returned to Mr. Cunningham's,
which occupied the time the defendant was alleged to
have been with Mrs. Gaisford. The act of adultery
was alleged to have taken place in the public cab, in
one of the public thoroughfares of London. This Was
He
his called
more than the commonest wanton who walks the streets
of the metropolis would have beenguoilntyly fofo.r
for a verdict for the defendant, not
sake, but for that of Mrs. Gaisford, and Mr. Gaisford,
whose eyes he trusted the verdict would open to the true
state of the case.
John Tilley, the landlord of the Roebuck, in the
Hackney-road, and hie two barmaids, were called to
contradict the evidence of the cabman Salmon as to the
allegation that defendant had gone with him into the
Roebuck and treated him; and Mr. John Cunningham,
wine-merchant, 11, Regent-street, with his clerk and
eellarman, and Mr. John Bernard, fishing-tackle dealer,
of 12, Church-place,_ proved that Mr. Karr was in the
neighbourhood of Regent-street at the time the cabman
Salmon represented he was four miles off, in the Hack-
ney-road.
M_ r. WHEATLEY having replied,
Mr. Justice PerrEsoN summed up, and the jury re-
tired at a quarter to five o'olock.
At seven the jury sent to ask his Lordship to read
over the evidence relating to the time when the cab left
the hotel and reached the City, and when Mr. Karr was
at the wine.merchant's in Regent-street.
Ilia Lordship complied, and as soon as he had read
the notes,
The Foreman said, Mr. Sheriff, can you let us have a
larger room for the night?
The Sheriff said he could accommodate them, and sent
them into the grand jury room.
At half-past ten his Lordship sent for them to his
lodgings; and, on their saying that there was no chance
of their agreeing if locked up for a month, discharged
them without agreeing to a verdict.

WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Taunton, April 3.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Baron MARTIN.)
SYLVESTER v. JEFFERY.
Mr. Crowder and Mr. Bere were counsel for the plain-
tiff, and Mr. Batt and Mr. Stone for the defendant.
This was an action brought to recover damages for
the seduction of the plaintiff's daughter. The plaintiff
was an elderly woman, the widow of a person who had
been a churchwarden and member of the town council
of Chard. She had several children, most of whom
were married. The defendant was an innkeeper at
Chard. From the evidence of the plaintiff's daughter,
it appeared that she was thirty-four years of age. The
defendant had sometimes walked and talked with her,
and one evening in November, 1848, they took a walk
together. He talked of the love he had for her, and
then a familiarity took place between them, which was
afterwards frequently repeated, until in the May follow-
ing the woman communicated to the defendant that she

-,
as in a state of plegnancy. T defendant said " Good
Gqd 1- what shall Ido ?" Sh said "I don't know." He
aid " I can't marry you" She said " Can't you!" He
id "Will you take something ?" She said "yes, if
ou w"itl give it me." The parties still went on in the
8411:132 manner until the 9th of November, 1849, she was
-vered of a child, which was still living. In her.
cross-examination she denied having had any improper
Intercourse with any other person. She also denied that
'she had ever been seen-in improper positions with dif-
ferent persons, or that she had been wit with certain
gentlemen who had been named.
For the defence it was contended that, even if the
jury believed the woman, this was not the case of a
young and inexperienced person being deceived by the
artifices of a man who had promised her marriage ; but
rik
there had been a walk, an improper intercourse, and
then a continued repetition of these improprieties. But
it was urged that when the jury should have heard the
evidence which would be produced for the defendant
they would at once dismiss the case and give a verdict in
his favour.

Witnesses were then called who stated that they had
seen the plaintiff's daughter in improper positions with
different persons, and they particularly named a man a
the name of Harris. They had seen her several times
with a commercial traveller in the bar parlour of the
hotel at Chard. She had shown great levity of conduct.
They asserted that many circumstances had taken place
which she in her cross-examination had denied. Evi-
dence was also adduced to show that efforts had been
made to subrcena, the barmaid of the hotel, but without
success.
Witnesses were then called for the plaintiff in reply,
v,ho swore that some of the witnesses called for the de-
fendant had stated that they knew- nothing of the mat-
ter; and it was proved that Harris, who had removed to

to lblee
During the summing up of the Learned Judge,
Mr. CROWDER stated that Harris had fast arrived,
and he proposed that he Should be examined now,
although it was so late in the cause.
Mr. STONE, for the defendant, objected to thia course.
Baron MARTIN said he did not think it should be
done now, but he would suggest that the record should
now be withdrawn, and that the cause should be tried
again at the next assizes, when Harris might be ex'.
mined.

Mr. CROWDER said,,he could not accede to this propo.
aition.
- The Learned JUDGE then completed his stunming up,
and the jury, after a short consultation, returned a Tar.
diet for the plaintiff—Damages 601.
April 4.
MURDER.—John Wills was indicted for the wilful
murder of William Wilkins, by knocking him down.
with a spade, and when OR the ground beating him on
the head with an Italian iron, giving him divers mortal
wounds of which he died, at Nempnett, on the ith Of
February; and John Smith was charged with aiding ad
abetting him. The counts charged both prisoners with
the murder.

Mr. Phinn and Mr. Thring were counsel for the pro-
secution, and Mr. Edmonds defended Smith; the other
prisoner was undefended.
The LORD CHIEF BARON, in summing up, observed,
that at nine o'clock both these old people had been seen
in perfect health, and at ten the old man was found
lying in his kitchen, mortally wounded, and he died a
short time afterwards. The old woman was also despe-
rately wounded. Footmarks were seen. They were
followed, and at length the prisoners, who had shortly
before the murder, been seen together in the neighbour-
hood, were discovered together. On one was found the
knife of the old woman, and on both money, which each
prisoner admitted was taken from the old woman. If
there was no other evidence, could there be a doubt upon
their minds?

The jury very shortly returned a verdict of Guilty
against both prisoners.
His LORDSHIP then, in the most affecting wanner,
passed sentence of death upon the prisoners.
The crowd was intense.
