THE QUEEN V. LOAD ItANELAGII.

The case has excited great interest from the fact of
the alleged murder having been committed in the
year 1832, and also because the prisoner has since that
period been married, and has a large family, and has
conducted himself in a most exemplary manner, both
as a father and also as a policeman, in which force he
was a constable for twelve years ; he is now a re-
spectable farmer at Preston Gabbald, in Shropshire,
where be is much respected. His first wife was, on
the 16th of October, 1832, found drowned in the Leeds
and Liverpool Canal. A coroner's inquest was held,
the prisoner was examined, and no charge was made
against the prisoner, who was separated from his
wife. She was engaged at the time as a servant at
the Bull in Walton, he being servant to his uncle
Edward Threlfall, of Hslssll. . -
The first witness called was Thomas Ball, farmer
at liaison, who stated that a good many years ago,
as he was going to his work to get potato -3, with a
woman named Jane Bradshaw, who is now dead, he
saw a woman dieting in the water of the canal, near
the Hill-bridge. Robert Shaw's boat lay there, and
the body was ten or fifteen yards astern of the boat.
He got u pole off the boat, pulled the body to the
side, and got her out. William Bradshaw and se-
veral others were present. He did not know the
woman. A handkerchief or a shawl was tied twice
or three times round her neck with two or three
knots. Our of the eyes was rather strangled with
blood. Took her to a building, which he thought be-
longed to William Ilisrtin, and left 'her there till the
night, when she was removed to Helsel' warehouse.
machine. house. Richard Shaw helped to carry her.
James Kirby, farmer, stated that he thinks on the
16th of October, 1832, he fetched the 'coroner, when
he heard a woman had been found drowned, he being
a constable at the time. The next day he fetched
the prisoner from one of Idward Threlfall'a fields,
and asked him to come and see whether the woman
found was his wife, as they had got to talking that
she was his wife. He objected to go. Witness said
he would make him go, and then they went to the
machine-house, and as soon as he saw the body the
prisoner exclaimed that she was his wife. Prisoner
did not come in—witness invited him in. Prisoner
did not appear troubled ; did not see any difference in
him.

It will be in the recollection of our readers that
the grand jury sitting at the Central Criminal Court
a few days since found a " true bill" against the
noble defendant for an assault alleged to have been
committed by his Lordship upon certain officers upon
the London and Greenwich Railway. In the ordinary
course of matters, therefore, the Noble Viscount
would have been called upon to surrender, and to take
his trial at the Central Criminal Court.

Mr. Marcarz this morning, on behalf of Lord
Ranelagh, applied to the judge at chambers for a writ
of certiorari to remove the indictment from the Cen-
tral Criminal Court into the Court of Queen's Bench.

The LOAD Clair, BARON at once granted the ap-
plication.
The case will therefore come on for trial in the
Court of Queen's Bench at the Nisi Prins sittinp
after Michaelmas term.

ASSIZE INTELLIWENCE.
NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 27.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.)
James Wick was indicted for having, at Manches-
ter, on the 21st of 'Tilly last, wilfully murdered one
,Margaret Weeding.
Mr. Joseph Pollock appeared for the prosecution,
Mr. Monk and Mr. Sowler dejendtel the prisoner.
It appeared that the prisoner, who is a labouring
man, and who had borne.a good character for kind-
ness and humanity, went to Manchester on the even-
ing of the 20-,h of July, and, having met with the
deceased in-the street, accompanied. her to a house in
Back Irwell-street, where the deceased lodged with
another woman, named Parren. , They had some
drink, and the prisoner said that he would give the
two women a shilling a piece: 'lte then I,y down on
a bed in the room and tell asleep,", and then the two
women went out to get some more drink at a public-
house and in about an hour or two returned. Early
in the morning, a policeman,:tvho was on his beat,
heard a scuffle in the cellar eitere the prisoner and
the women were, and heard a man say " Give me my
money," and a woman answered " I will," and then
there was a souffle and kicking. The policeman then
went down into the cellar and 'opened the door, after
having listened a short time to the scuffle and blows,
which continued. On entering he saw the prisoner
getting up from the woman Varren, whom it ap-
peared he had been kneeling on, and on the bed the
deceased was lying on her face. The prisoner said,
"They have taken four half-crowns from me." On
looking at the deceased more minutely he found that
she was dreadfully bruised and kicked, so that he
could hardly tell that she was a human being. The
prisoner then put his shoes on and said, "They have
taken my money betwixt them," and that he was
sorry for what he had done. The deceased was then
put upon a stretcher to be conveyed to the Infirmary,
but she died before she reached that place. On ex-
amining the body it was found that she had four ribs
on one aide and five on the other broken, and that the
liver was lacerated and the lungs penetrated, whioh
injuries caused her death.
Mr. Mots addressed the jury for the prisoner.
His LORDSHIP having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty of man-
slaughter.
His LORDSHIP then sentenced him to be imprisoned
for three calendar months. _ _ _

Mary Hall stated that she bad seen the prisoner,
and that she saw him twice at the Black Bull, in Wal-
ton, when he was separated from his wife, Elizabeth
Threlfall, who was living as servant to Tnomas
Woolfall. It is eighteen or nineteen years ago.
Witness then kept house for Thomas Woolfall, who
was her father. The deceased asked leave one day
to go with the prisoner to see the children, and they
started to go to Halsall. She came beck: the same
night between nine and ten o'clock. About a fort-
night after the deceased went out to some one and
came back between ten and eleven o'clock, and one
washing-night afterwards she went out between six
and seven. Outs Mrs. Hudson, who is dead, brought
her a message from deceased. On the next Wednes-
day her brother TOOMBS told witness that deceased
was drowned.

John Baker, a farmer at Nisherton, stated that be
knew the deceased when servant at the Black Bull
at Walton, many years ago ; that one night he saw
a man and woman, after dark, in a little field about
120 yards from the Sefton Arms, and that he went to
them and knew the deceased.

Elizabeth Swinnerton was charged with the wilful
murder of Esther Swinnerton.
Mr. Pollock and Mr. Assheton conducted the pro-
secution ; Mr. Monk and Mr. Sowler defended the
prisoner.
Patrick Nelson, a private in the 2d Regiment, said
he lodged in the prisoner's house at Salford, and knew
the deceased, who was stepdaughter of the priso-
ner. In the beginning of May was at the house.
Deceased was a cripple. She was going to bed on the
landing of the stairs. The bed was not long enough
and the bedding was only a few old clothes. The next
day the deceased came to him, and he gave her some
tea and things several times. On a Sunday, the 15th
of June, deceased came into witness's room and he
gave her some tea. She said she was relaxed in her
bowels. The next Sunday she came again into his
room, and showed a mark on her body. ‘Vitness gave
her some tea. The next day, the 23d of June, 84W
the deceased at the petty door on her bare feet. She
bad a chamber utensil in her hand, and was cleaning
it out. The prisoner took hold of deceased's hand and
rubbed the -dirt in her mouth. The deceased ap-
peared to be very ill. Next day saw bar in the par-
lour with the policeman by the fire. Had seen the
prisoner strike deceased several times. Deceased bad
1 shown him a cut on her head.

Robert Rimmer stated that he was a labourer, and
that he had known the prisoner 23 years. He had
not seen him for 18 years, when he rode with him
from Liverpool to Edward Threlfall's. Ou the road
they called at the Black Bull and asked for some
refreshment, which was brought, and the prisoner
asked the servant if Elizabeth was io. Shortly after
Elizabeth (the deceased) came into the room and asked
the prisoner what be wanted with her. Prisoner said
that he wanted her to go and live with him sgain, and
that he would be as good to her as ever he had been
bad. She agreed to come and live with him if he
would tuke a cottage, and they might live by them-
selves. He said he had done so, and had taken one
at Churchtown in Halsall, and asked if she would
come on Sunday night. She Said she could not come
on Sunday, as she had washing to do on the Monday,
but that she would get up early and get it dune and
come on Monday night. They made it up to meet
nt Lydiate-hill, but she was to keep on the left bank
of the canal, and it they did not meet at Lydiate-bill
she was to keep on, and he would meet her. Ou the
Tuesday after witness heard of her being drowned.
Mr. Birdwall, surgeon at the hospital, was then
examined, to show that Richard Shaw was unable to
attend from illness to give evidence at the trial. He
stated that, about eighteen or nineteen years ago, as
near as he could recollect, he was sleeping in a boat
called the Collier, in the Leeds and Liverpool Canal,
at Milne'', of which boat his brother was captain ;
and that between twelve and one, as near as he could
recollect, he heard a great bustle on the bank, and a
woman ecrike. Mud them go dowu the canal side,
and the woman screamed for help—" Oh dear, do
help me !" and then there was a plunge into the
canal. He got up and looked through the 3ctetle-
hole, and saw the prisoner, Thomas Threl-ell ducking
a woman in the canal. The woman scratched at the
stern of the boat, moaning. Shortly after one of
Kenworthy's flies came up. He spoke to the prisoner
by name, and said, " Now, you must either run or be
ta ed," and he ran away. One of Kenworthy's men
ran after him a short distance, and then came back.
The man's name was Beckett. He did not do any
thing sooner than morning. He durst not stir, and
was afraid. He had not mentioned these things be-
fore, and had told now because he could not rest and
could not follow his work. Saw the prisoner three
or four years ago in Liverpool, when the prisoner was
a policeman. He was about half drunk, and asked
prisoner if be would take him up, and prisoner told
him to go about his business. The boat lay above the
middle of Halsall-hill, where there is a deep cutting.
Could not see how prisoner was dressed. Did not
know the woman. She spoke to the man.
John Beckett, potato dealer, said that he knew
Richard Shaw, who had to go on the canal. That
he did not remember hearing of a woman being
drowned in the canal at Halsall-hill ; and that, to the
beat of his knowledge, Richard Shaw never men-
tioned such a transaction when lying at Halsall-hill.
Witness was captain of one of Kenworthy's flies on
the Leeds and Liverpool canal.
James Wignall—l am a police officer. I appre-
hended the prisoner on the 24th of April, and told
him it was on a charge of murdering his wife. He
said " I never heard of such a thing."
At the close of the case for the prosecution, Mr.
POLLOCK. asked his Lordship if he should address the
jury, and several witnesses—among whom were two
clergymen, the head of the police, and the chief till•
perintendant at Liverpool—all gave the prisoner the
best character possible.
The jury then Acquitted the prisoner, without
hearing his counsel.. .
NISI PRIUS COURT. (Before Mr. Justice
WILLIAMS

Ciroline Nelson—Lodged at Thomas Swinner
ton's. Knew the deceased," who was about seventeen
years old. The prisoner made the deceased woe k
about the house and carry coals, and do other things,
and the prisoner used to best her with a stick re-
peatedly, and once threw a poker at her. She never
went down to the cellar without le ating her—some-
times with a saucepan, and different things. On the
Sunday before the deceased went to the workhouse
heard the child cry. Went down to her. She slept
in the cellar, which had a grating, through which the
air came, so that the deceased woulo be exposed to
the night-air. On the Monday the prisoner told the
deceased to come up from the cellar. The deceased
said she was so ill she could not, and the prisoner
said that she would beat her and kill her if she did
not come. She then came with great difficulty, and
asked the prisoner for a drop of water to clean the
utensil with, which the prisoner refused to give her.
Other witnesses were then called, whose evidence
went to the same effect as above. The result of the
ill-treatment was that the neighbours interfered,
doctor was sent for, anti the deceased was sent to
the workhouse, where she eventually died. The
medical man who attended her there stated that she
had died from consumption, but that he could not say
that the treatment of the prisoner had caused it.
At the cNloi, se of the case for the prosecution,
mr. i‘lo
submitted to his Lordship that there
was no duty
imposed by law on the prisoner to pro-
vide food, raiment, and the like, for the deceased, on
which all the counts of the indictment proceeded.
The prisoner was merely the servant of her husband,
and there was no duty imposed on her when the
paterfamilias was- at home, for there could not be a
divided duty.
His Lortesnee said in his opinion the indictment
could not be sustained ; there was no duty imposed
upon the prisoner, being a married woman, as was
alleged in the indictment, for it was the husband's
duty to provide all that was necessary and proper for
the child, and to see that she received them. }luau-
nately, in this case, the prisoner being acquitted on a
point of law would not frustrate the end of justice,
because, after the evidence of the medical man, who
stated that with all his experience he could not say
that the death was occasioned by the treatment
which had been detailed, the jury could nut find a
verdict of guilty.
The jury then Acquitted the prisoner.
Mary Powell was indicted for the murder of her
child, Mary Ann Powell, by strangling her.
Mr. Blair conducted the prosecution; the prisoner
was not defended by counsel.
The prisoner, it appeared, had, in the early part of
this year, been removed to the workhouse in this
borough, togethefievitlf her. three children. She had
been ill-treated by her husband, arid was in a state of
great terror from fear of his violence. She became
much excited at the workhouse, and was, finally,
under the direction of the medical men, removed to
.the lunatic ward. She wee in this excited arid
violent state for about a week, and then being better
the, after a period of six weeks, was removed into the
nursery, in consequence of one of her children being
ill. She continued to nurse the child and to attend to
the other children up to the month of July. She bad
frequently applied for permission to leave the house,
but had been dissuaded from carrying out this inten-
tion, as on a former occasion, when her husband cone
to take her out, she became very much excited.
Finally, however, on the 17th, she left, with her two
children, one having died in the workhouse, and
about three o'clock in the day came to her sister's
house. She left in about half an hour, and at eight POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

This was an action brisught to recover damages
from the defendants for an infringement of a patent
which the plaintiffs had obtained in 1838 for an im-
proved construction in the cylinders of steam-engines.
Mr. At h•rton, Q C , Mr. Crompton, and Mr. We-b-

Q C., Mr. Sargent Wilkins, and Mr. Cowling for the
defendant.

After hearing the opening of the Learned Counsel

go by rail.
Re-examined—By packing several parcels into one,
we are enabled to carry mach cheaper than the rail-
way companies.
Thomas Cowell, in the employ of Mr. Crouch, said
—I received on Sunday morning three packages from
the prisoner. The 261bs. package contained only
two parcels, and the 341bs. package bad only three
instead of twelve; but a log of wood, together with a
quantity of waste paper and other rubbish, was sub-
stituted for the nine parcels that were abstracted.
Prisoner saw me open this package, because I refused
to give him a receipt on his way-bill until I had seen
that the parcels were all correct. On Monday morn-
ing he called with a parcel, and on looking to his way-
bill I saw the names of five parcels that had been
taken out of the large package, and told Mr. Crouch,
jun., who gave prisoner into custody.
William Alfred Crouch, jun , said—As soon as the
last witness informed me of the circumstance I gave
the prisoner into custody, and went to Mr Constable,
the general superintendent of the Great Northern
Railway, and complained to him. He said he could
not account for it, and promised to inlaire and write
to me in an hour. I told him that it I did not hear
from him in ,hat time, I should place the meter in
the hands of the police. He said that would be by
far the better plan, and it was a pity I had not done
so on a previous occasion. When I told the prisoner
I would give him into custody, he said it was not
his fault.

Mr. Briggs said, the four parcels that were found
in prisoner's cart, end now produced, are the same I
consigned to Mr. Crouch.
The officer said that prisoner on being taken into
custody stated it was the company's doings, and
that Mr. Trumel, one of the clerks, gave him the
packages.
Sir Gimes Custom, said there was no evidence
before him to substantiate a charge of larceny or fe-
lony. Prisoner was the servant of the company in a
great measure, and had rendered a very fair account
as to how the parcels came into his possession. It
would he his duty to discharge the prisoner, altheugh,
at the some time, be was of opinion that a fraud had
been committed in the substitution of rubbish for
genuine parcels.
Mr. Parry then appliett for is summons against the
directors of the Great Northern Rsilway, or the
secretary, as the party at whose instigation these
packages were opened, for conspiring to defraud Mr.
Crouch.

Mr. Worsely said he was willing on the part of the
directors to answer any specific chsrge that Mr. Parry
might make against them, if it was brought forward
in a legal form.

Sir G. Caitaorx said he could not entertain the
application unless Mr. Parry had evidence to justify
him in granting a summons upon a body of members
such as the directors of a company.
Prisoner was then discharged.
John Howe Gordon appeared on an adjourned
summons to answer the charge of withholding the
sum of 5071. 2s. 60., claimed by David Samson and
Stephen Boyce, the trustees for and on behalf of the
London United District of the Society of the Ancient
Order 8f Foresters.

Mr. Cockle and Mr. Edwards were for the plain-
tiffs, and Mr. Spicer and Mr. Yates for the de-
fendant.

After a very lengthened examination,
Sir G. CARROLL said he was decidedly of opinion
that the plaint►ffs were entitled to the amount claimed,
for which he would make the order.

Mr. C ,ckle said The Act required, in the event of
an order being made, that it should be for double the
amount claimed.
Sir GP ORGB CenitoLL said he should award double
the amount; but from what he had seen of the gen-
tlemen who appeared for the society, he was sure they
would not take that hdvantsge to enforce the payment
of mote than was justly due.
The. order was then made for defendant to pay over
to the plaintiffs, on or betore Friday next, 1,0141.
