it, it was evident that the victim had been beaten
about the head with it. On a table was a knife
stained with blood ; near the bed, which was also
stained with bloood (a fact which shows that the
young woman must have been struck on the head
whilst lyinc, iu it),was a large tin pail nearly filled
with blood; and in this pail was the head of the
victim. The head, according to all appearance,
had been cut off with the knife, but as the knife
was old and much injured by use, the operation
must have been a long and difficult one ; the fleshy
parts of the neck, for example, were not cut
through, but hacked. A carpet by the side of the
bed was saturated with blood. On the table were
some empty bottles of wine, some biscuits, and
other remains of a supper. The manner in which
the murderer effected his escape has been already
described. The name of the murdered female has
not yet been ascertained, but from her dress and
appearance she is supposed to have been a femme
de chambre.

THE LATE REGENTS PARK AFFAIR.

JUDGES' CHAMBERS, SERJEANTS'
INN—
AUGUST 6.
(Before Mr. Justice Crowder.)
THE QUEEN T. THOMAS GEORGE GOSLING, ESQ.

In this case, the facts of which have so recently been I
before the public in the report of the proceedings before
Mr. Broughton at the Marylebone Police-court, an ap-
plication was made to the learned judge for a writ of
certiorari to remove the depositions and subsequent pro-
ceedings from the Middlesex Sassions to the Central
Criminal Court. The affidavit in support of the applica-
cation set forth that the defendant, Thomas George Gos-
ling, had been given into custody in the Regent's-park
by one John Mitchell, a licensed drover, upon a charge
of enticing divers females cf tender age to expose their
naked persons to his sight, when he gave his name and
address, and he was suffered to depart, and no further
proceedings were had until he was summoned before
Mr. Broughton at the Marylebone Police-court on the
23d of July, who, after hearing the witnesses, held the
defendant to bail to answer the charge at the sessions.
An indictment for misdemeanour having been preferred,
it was urged that as the offence charged was an offence
at common law, depending upon nice shades and distinc-
tions in the evidence in support thereof, and that nice
and intricate points of law of more than usual difficulty
and importance might arise on the trial of the said in-
dictment, which would render it important that the
same should be tried before one of the learned judges of
the superior courts. It being usual to send cases of that
description to the Central Criminal Court, where some
of those judges preside, as no doubt had the worthy ma-
gistrate been asked would have been done, 'the removal
of the proceedings by certiorari was asked.
The learned Judge made the order for the writ to issue
forthwith, the bail to enter into fresh recognisances in
that court.

During the day Mr. Thomas George Gosling, the de-
fendant, together with his bail, Mr. Gosling and Mr.
Booth, attended before the judge, and entered into their
recognisances, the defendant in 4,0101., and the bail in
2,0001. each, to give the required notices of trial and
appearance at the Central Criminal Court on the removal
of the proceedings from the Gerken well Sessions, that
being necessary by the Central Criminal Court Act.
It is, however, understood that an application will still
be made to remove the indictment into the Court of
Queen's Bench, to afford the opportunity of a trial by a
special jury.
