MURDER OF A WIFE BYHER HUSBAND
GLOUCESTER, SATURDAY NI aerr.—Another crime of this
nature, now unfortunately of too frequent occurrence in
this part of the kingdom, has just been perpetrated within
a few yards of our city. ' •
The unhappy woman was a delicate young creature, only
in her 23d year, named Esther Curtis, and the mother of her
first child, about fifteen months old. She had lately been
subjected to much ill-usage at the hands of her husband, a
labourer, named EdmunCurtis, of Victoria-street, in this
city. About seven o'clock this morning she left her home,
and went direct to' the White Lion beer-shop, a, few yards
distant, to confer with her husband on some matter of do-
mestic import. Having exhibited considerable churlish re-
luctance to comply with her request of a minute's conver-
sation, Curtis at length complied. They had scarcely -left
the house, however, before the landlady, Mrs. Wilkes, was
greatly alarmed by hearing the most piercing screams, pro-
ceeding from the garden by the site of the White Lion.
Mrs. Wilkes immediately ran out, but only to return
as speedily and shriek for assistance herself, im-
ploring- a stout young fellow, named William Kirk-
land, " for God sake to came out, for Curtis was mur-
dering his wife !" Kirkland complied ; and on running into
the garden ,he found that Curtis with his left hand had
seized his wife by the collar of her dregs and was forcing
down her bead on the other side of an iron fencing erected to
part a garden from a pathway running pars lel. Holding
her in this position, with the pit of her abdomen resting
upon the top rail, with Lis right fist lie was beating her in
the most ferocious manner about the region of the lungs.
With a view to separate him from the already senseless
victim of his savage ferocity, Kirkland seized him by the
collar of bit coat from behind,• but so insatiable was his
brutal appetite that, retaining his hold of the unhappy
woman, the brawny arm of Kirkland brought them simul-
taneously, to the ground. Here, moreover, great difficulty
was experienced in releasing the motionless woman from
his grasp; and Kirkland could scarcely prevent a repeti-
tion of the assault while they were upon the ground. Ad-
ditional assistance having, however, by this .time arrived,
Curtis was forced to release his hold ; and, the necessary
restraint of several neighbours, having- been applied, he
-was" prevented from repeating 4i4 violence' whilee-brandY
and other restorivives were being applied by Mrs. Wilkes
and others to his wife, with the hope of producing re• ani-
mation. Every attempt which kindness and ingenuity
could suggest was made with this view, but without success;
already the livid hue of death had spread over the unhappy
woman's mutilated features.

Having been released from constraint, Curtis, with brutal
composure had gone again into the tap-roem, and was
calmly proceeding to refill his pipe with tobacco, when he
was told that he had better send for a surgeon, for his wife
was dying. "'Let her die and be d-, and a d-- good
job too," was his brutal reply; and without further care he
again sat himself down to his cups perfectly sober.
In the mean time the medical assistance of Mr. Alfred
Clarke, surgeon, had been procured for the woman. Mr.
Clarke only arrived in time to see the woman breathe her
lAst. In less than half an hour after she had entered the
White Lion she was a mutilated corpse, a victim of the
murderous ferocity of her husband. The body presents
marks of violence round the left eye ; the immediate region
of the hit temple is also discoloured by a blow, and already
(10 o'clock) the body is fast assuming general discolonration.
Curtis is now in custody, awaiting the result of a coroner's
inquisition, to be held on Monday.

Tin MILITARY.—We are pleased to find that a
communication was yesterday made in the watch committee
by the mayor, that the gallant general in the command of
this district had issued a garrison order, that the soldiers on
leaving their quarters to recreate themselves among the citi-
zens; shall not carry thick and heavy walking sticks, Seve-
ral cases have occurred, when soldiers have become inebriated,
and an affray taken place with the police and soldiers, the
former have been most seriously injured by the latter
when in the possession of such weapons. Upon a repre-
sentation of such conduct by his worship the mayor, to the
General in command of this district, a prompt order was
issued that the soldiers should be restricted to the carrying
of small canes, if they were disposed to have them.--
Plymouth Journal.

Tim MANCHESTER BOILER Exmosiosr.—The in-
quest in this case was resumed on Saturday afternoon. John
Hartley, of Ancoats, Manchester, the maker of the boiler,
was examined, and stated that the price of it was 16s. per
cwt., the end plates to be Al thick, and the others 5-16.
It was of Thoineycroft iron, the next best to Low Moor iron.
He saw the boiler working short of water ten days before the
explosion, and named the fact to the engineer and to Mr.
Williamson. The engineer said it was owing to a leakage;
and it was agreed that the water should be let off that night
and the leakage repaired, but subsequently it was deter-
mined to work it a short time longer, and before any repairs
were done the explosion occurred. He thought the boiler would
stand a pressure of 8 )Ib3. to the inch, and that the explosion
was ,caused by want of water. Christopher Ray gave evi •
deuce that on the 25th of March he found the boiler without
water, and told Egerton of it. The safety-valve also was
extra weighted to,the extent of Gibs. per square inch. D,,_
Yid Reid, a sawyer, who was helping Egerton about the
water
engine at the time of the explosion, deposed to
cir-
cumstances which plainly s%owed that there was no the
in the boiler, and that Egerton knew it, for hetriad
safety valve; and only a blue flame or heat came out. Mr.
Fairbairn, C.E., was next examined. I.le stated that, under
all the circumstances, he had not the least doubt that on see
part of the engineer there had been great ignorance, reck-
lessness, and hue !motion, a,surning that he had as knowledge
of the state of the boiler. The safety valve was of improper
construction, as it might fasten by oxydation. The boiler
was fed by a self-acting feeder, but it was too defective. The
turning of the fly-wheel to start the engine which had been
spoken of, if it were but for a revolution and a half, would
cause a rush of water into the boiler upon the reit hot metal,
a quantity of highly elastic steam would be generated, and
the pressure become greater than the resisting power of the
plates. He conceived that there Was a sufficiency of indi-
cating apparatus about the boiler, but that the engineer had
grossly neglected to attend to it. Higgins, the man who set
the boiler, was called Ca, but as ho was not in attendance the
inquest was again adjourned to compel his attendance, and
will be resumed on Wednesday.
OATH OF ABJURATION (Jaws) BILL.—The fol-
lowing is a copy of the Bill brought in by Lord John Russell
to regulate the mode of administering the oath of abjuration
to persons professing the Jewish religion :—" Whereas her
Majesty's subjects professing the Jewish religion are by law
capable of being elected to serve as Members of the House
of Commons, and of holding divers offices in respect of which
they are or may be required to take the oath of abjuration;
and it is expedient to direct in what manner that oath
should in all cases be administered to persons professing the
said religion ; be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most
excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the
Lords spiritual and temporal, and Commons, in this present
Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same,
that whenever any one of her Majesty% subjects professing the
Jewish religion shall present himself to take the said oath of
abjuration the words, Upon the true faith of a Christian '
shall be omitted out of the said oath in administering the
same to such person ; and the taking of the said oath by such
person professing the Jewish religion, without the words
aforesaid, in like manner as Jews are admitted to be sworn
to give evidence in courts of justice, shall be deemed to be a
sufficient taking of the oath of abjuration."
POISONIVO NEAR WIPMECtI —The proceedings in
this case before the Wisbech Isle magistrates, which had
been adjourned from the 22d ult. to the 24th, and then to
the 29th, were closed on Saturday. After a mass of evi-
dence had been taken the prisoner was asked what she had
to state, and cautioned in the usual manner. She replied, " I
think it very hard that this should be laid upon me, for I
am as innocent as a new-born babe. I hope the gentlemen
will consider this, and set me at liberty. Pin sure I'm inno-
nocent." The magistrates, however. felt it their duty to
commit the prisoner for trial on the charge of poisoning her
mistress by putting arsenic in her pudding.
A society is about to be formed in Paris under the
patronage of the Archbishop, the object of which is to supply
bread to the poorer classes at 25 per cent. under the regular
' price.
