THE LATE MURDER IN MARYLEBONE.
Yesterday Thomas Bare was brought up from the
House of Detention, Clerkenwell, for re-examination,
before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Broughton, at the
Marylebone Police Court, on the charge of having
murdered Louisa Bare, his wife, by stabbing her with
a triangular saw file-
An immense number of persons had congregated in
the vicinity of the court, anxious to catch a glimpse of
the accused, and when the Government van drew up
at the back entrance in Paradise-street the mob rushed
en masse towards the vehicle. Many constables were,
as upon former occasions, in attendance to preserve
order, and the prisoner, after alighting, amid hisses
and the loudest execrations, was conveyed to one of
the lock -up rooms, in which he was to remain until
the night charges were disposed of.
At ball-past three the prisoner was placed at the
bar, and the court at that period was crowded to ex-
cess; he was much more pale than when brought up
in the first instance ; but his perfect composure and
hself, possession, after the fearful array of evidence which
ad already
were present. been adduced, surprised most of those who

most important witness, who was unable from ill-
ness to attend before, her incapacity to do so arising
from the fright and shock which her system had sus-
tained.
Selina Beckett, the witness alluded to, and who
was still in a very weak state, was accommodated
with a seat; she was sworn, and said.—l live at 33,
North-street; my husband is a printer. I lode in
the first floor front room. I knew a woman
g (the
prisoner's wife), who went by the name of Nott ; she
lodged in the back room next to mine. She was in
the habit of going out to work at about eight in the
morning, and came home very regularly between
eight and nine.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Do you know the prisoner ?
Witness—Yes ;he is there (pointing to the bar);
he is the man who committed the murder.
Mr. BROUGHTON—When did you first see him ?
Witness—On the Saturday night when the murder
took place.
Mr. BROUGHTON—At what time did you see him?
Witness—At a few minutes after nine.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Do yon—know anything that
took place in the parlour ? Witness—No.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Now, tell me all you know
with respect to this dreadful affair.
Witness—The deceased came in at about nine, and
I,heard her go up stairs. I also heard the footsteps of
a man following her, but I took no particular notice
of the circumstance at the time, as the man used to
come to the house frequently. The man who fol-
lowed her went into the room, and I heard the door
shut, and presently there was some loud talking
as if the parties were quarrelling. Deceased
said to the man who had gone upstairs with her,
" Don't make any noise to disturb the other lodgers ;"
and after that I heard him (prisoner) say, " You
know that you and the woman who lives with you are
nothing better than common prostitutes." He ac-
cused his wife of having been drinking on the pre-
vious Saturday at a low public-house, with some more
bad women, and she made answer, " So help me God,
I was not there, but if you'll sit down I'll explain
everything to you ;" upon which he exclaimed "God
d-- you, I know enough of you already. I don't
want you to explain anything more." After that he
said, " I want nothing of you but my boxes, and, so
help me God, I won't leave this house without them."
He called her a b---- b--, and as soon as I heard
that, Iran down and spoke to the landlady, telling her
that there was dreadful quarrelling upstairs. The
landlady was at that period looking out at the doer
for the police. I went up to my own room, pulled to
the door, and directly afterwards I heard a woman
scream "Murder!" I ran out, and on looking into
the prisoner's room, the door of which was open, I
saw nim strike the deceased with all his might, near
the wind° v, with his right hand.
Mr. BROUGHTON—CouId you see whether he had
any instrument in his hand, or not ? Witness—l
could not.
Mr. BROUGHTON—ad you go into the apartment ?
Witness—l did, Sir, while deceased was still scream-
ing " Murder !" I heard her say to the prisoner,
" Don't murder me." These were the last words she
spoke. I saw the prisoner hit her with great force
several times after ha had thrown her down, and when
she fell upon the fender, with her bead reclining on
it, and while apparently quite insensible, he gave her
three or four more blows as bard as he could. He
then passed by me and walked out of the room, and
went down stairs.
By Mr. BROUGHTON—After she fell upon the fen-
der she never spoke or moved. Witness, in continua-
tion, said—When the prisoner passed me he went out
at the front door. While he was striking the deceased
in his room I said to him, " Oh, pray take away your
things, but don't hurt the poor creature." After he
had quitted I saw a quantity of blood streaming from
the deceased's forehead, and there was a great deal of
blood also by the fireplace. Deceased's eyes were
fixed, and I was sure she was dead. I hastened down
to the landlady, who instantly repaired to the room,
and on my entering it in ten minutes afterwards, I
found the poor creature lying on the floor, life being
quite extinct. Witness further said, in reply to ques-
tions from the prisoner, a man used to come almost
every evening to see the deceased between a quarter
and half-past eight o'clock. lie sometimes left at
ten, but never later than twelve. A woman named
Hands lived with the deceased and slept with her.
They worked at the same shop, and generally came
home together.
