INQUESTS.

SUICIDE THROUGFI SUPPOSED JEALOUSY.-011
Saturday Mr. 11. M. Wakley held an inquest at the
Talbot Tavern, Agar Town, St. Pancras, on the body
of Thomas Sanders, aged 52, a bricklayer, residing
is one of a row of cottages near the above house,
called Cambridge Cottages, who committed the fol-
lowing act of determined suicide.
It appeared that deceased, who was in comfortable
circumstances, had for nine years cohabited with a
female who recently suddenly left him, as he believed,
to join another man. He had since been very de-
sponding, and on Tuesday morning last, not being
seen as usual, the inmate of the adjoining cottage
looked through his window and discovered him lying
on the floor surrounded with blood, and an open razor
by his side.
Mr. Aldridge, surgeon, was sent for, when de-
ceased was found to have nearly severed his head
from his body, and although still living and every
assistance having been rendered him, he shortly after
ceased to exist. Verdict—" Temporary Insanity."
DEATH FROM RECKLESS DRIVING.—On Saturday
Mr. H. M. NValeley concluded an inquiry at the Uni-
versity College Hospital, commenced on a previous
day, relative to the death of Frances Netershell
Moore, aged 41, the wife of a paperhanger, living at
49, Wilsted-street, Somers Town, who died as alleged
from injuries received in being knocked down by a
horse and cart, driven at a furious rate, by a youth
named Thomas Perkins, in the employ of Mr. Dickens,
butcher, Camden-road Villas, Camden Town. It
was also stated that the deceased, who was an habitual
drunkard, was drunk when knocked down, which
opinion was partly confirmed by the assistant-surgeon
and nurse of the hospital, who expressed their belief
that on her admission she was intoxicated.
Mr. WAKLEY said he could not help observing upon
the reckless way in which butchers rode and drove
their horses through the streets, as though empowered
so to do by law.
Six of the jury were for a verdict of manslaughter,r
but eventually one was returned as follows :—" et
the deceased died from injuries received from a horse
and cart driven at a furious rate, but whether that
was from the misconduct of the driver, or the horse
running away, there was no evidence to show." Per-
kins was then cautioned and censured, and the inquiry
terminated.
REVIVAL or INFANTICIDE...-011 Saturday Mr. H.
M. Wakley held an inquest at the College Arms,
Camden Town, on the newly-born infant of Jane
Smith, a single woman, in the service of Mrs. Dick •
enson, Pakenham •street.
Mrs. Dickenson said that she suspected Smith had
given birth to a child, and interrogated her upon the
subject, when she admitted that she had, said the infent was in the pail which was half full of water, and
in which she (Mrs. Dickenson) found the body. Smith
begged forgiveness.
Dr. Sheeting examined the body, and found that
the child had breathed freely ; and the organs were
healthy, but that the brain was congested from a blow
or fall. He could not swear whether death resulted
from
the head or drowning.
Verdict—" Deceased was found dead in a pail of
water, but whether it was wilfully murdered or not
there is no evidence to prove."
Mr. Wakley held a second inquest at the College
Arms, on the body of a child found wrapped up in
a brown piper parcel, in a ditch in Swan's-lane,
Highgate.
Dr. I3rougharn said that the child must have been
twelve months dead. The body was so decomposed
that he could not soy whether death was caused by
violence or otherwise. The leg was broken.
Verdict—" Found dead."

SUICIDE OF AN INNKEEPER.—On Saturday Mr. C.
J. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, assembled a
jury at the King's Arms, Eltbam, to inquire into the
circumstances attending the death of Mr. James
Styles, aged 55, late landlord of the Chequers Inn,
Eltham, Kent, who committed suicide on Tuesday
morning last.
It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Edward
Styles, son of the dccerved, that his father had been
attending to the business as usual up to twelve o'clock
on the night before his death, and shortly after that
hour he retired to bed, apparently in good spirits.
At eight o'clock on Tuesday morning witness, as
was his custom, took breakfast up to his father's bed-
room, and upon entering he saw deceased suspended
by a rope about his neck from the bed post. The
deceased was immediately cut down, but life was
found to have been extinct some time. A few days
previous to his death the deceased appeared very low
in spirits, but on the night before the fatal act he had
recovered his wonted cheerfulness.

The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary
Insanity."

IMPROVEMENTS 11V BILLINGSGATE
MARKET.
The extensive erections at Billingsgate for the pur-
poses of the fish market are progressing rapidly. The
elevation fronting the Thames already presents a
prominent appearance. The dock in which the
oyster-boats used to anchor while unladen bas been
filled up, and the front of the new market
towards the water brought out flush with the
Custom-house quay. The building is of brick,
upon a foundation of Aberdeen granite, the
corners of the clock tower and offices being orna-
mented with rusticated quoins of Portland stone.
Toe passages to the market from th 3 vessels are spa-
cious, the whole of the superstructure above them
being supported by neat, substantial iron pillars, cast
at the foundry of Messrs. Haywood and Company, of
Derby. The to wer in the centre of the front of the market
facing the Thames is surmounted by a gilded flying fish,
and in the body of it will be placed a clock of
large dimensions, which will show the hours on
each of the sides. The whole of the most un-
sightly building now standing, hitherto used as the
fish market, will be taken down, and a spacious
light iron and glass roof erected upon iron pillars
for the upper market. The new building is to be
efficiently ventilated, and well cleansed daily by
periodical flushing, the supply of water being so
furnished as constantly to flow through the drains,
the water-closets, and urinals. The surface drains,
both in the upper and lower markets, are intended
to carry off the filth and water from cleansing
the fi h, &o. These will have a plentiful flow
through them, to assist in its removal, and to keep
them perfectly sweet. The water for these pur-
poses it is proposed to draw at once from the
river, engines and pumps being employed to force it to
the heights required. The pure water it is proposed
to obtain by sinking a perforated cast-iron cylinder
into the bed of the river, so that the water will become
filtered as it percolates through the stratum of gravel,
in which the cylinder is placed. This is the same kind
of system as that adopted for another purpose by Messrs.
Calvert and Co., at their brewery, and which has been
found to ans wer admirably. The whole of the above
supply will be pumped from the river by an oscillating
engine, which will also work a set of pumps
for relieving the market of the sewage
water and other impurities, to be conveyed
into the river at low water, under the bed of the
river. The market being enclosed on three sides, and
the lower market (which, when finished, will be ussd
for the sale of shell- fish, &e.) having only the well
holes for the admission of light and air, it has been
thought advisable to provide means for efficiert ven-
tilation, as it could be done in connexion with the
general improvement of the market at a trifling in-
crease of expense. The plan, upon a principle pa-
tented by Mr. Bessemer, is to be accomplished by a
ventilating disc, which will draw off the foul air from
the lower and upper markets, while it is calculated to
be highly beneficial to both in producing a current of
air in close or sultry weather. The cost of the yen.
tilation, water supply, &c., is estimated at 1,840/.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
INSOLVENT DEBTOItS' COURT, Sept 29.
Three Commissioners sat to-day. The Chief Com-
missioner heard the unopposed cases, and Commis-
sioners Law and Phillips the opposed applications.
(Before Mr. Commissioner LAW.)
IN THE MATTER OF THOMAS WILSON RICHARDSON.
This insolvent, who has been before discharged
under the Act, was opposed by Mr. Nichols fur a
Mr. Burgh. Mr. Sargoocl supported.
It appeared that the insolvent had been engaged in
" play transactions." He hsd been in partnership
with a per; on named Brown as tailors. He
had likewise been a clubhouse-keeper at the West-
end, and had frequented and betted at races.
The complaint on the part of the opposing creditor
was that an action brought on a bill of exchange for
1041. had been vexatiously defended.
The insolvent alleged that it had been accepted in
the name of the partnership, and be knew nothing of
it till he was served with a writ. He had paid money
to defend the action, but on the trial no defence was
made.

In addition to the other occupations the insolvent
was in 1845 lessee with a Mr. Thorn of the Pavilion
Theatre, and lost about 7001. by the speculation. It
was proved in evidence that the law costs of the action
were 841., and that they had been increased 701. by
seven pleas pleaded.
Mr. Commissioner LAW thought that it was hard
enough for a creditor to lose his debt without being
put to 841. law expenses. There needed some altera-
tion of the law on that subject. There had been a
vexatious defence, and the insolvent would be dis-
charged in seven months from the vesting order.
(Before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS )
IN THE MATTER OF PIERCE O'BRIEN.
This insolvent, who had kept a beer-shop in Stam-
ford-street, was opposed by Mr. Cooke for Messrs.
Goding, the brewers. Mr. Dowse supported.
It was complained that the insolvent had impro-
perly contracted a debt with Messrs. Goding, and had
pleaded to an action. The house in Stamford•street
was rented of a lady, and the insolvent promised it to
Messrs. Goding, but put in another person. He ad-
mitted that he had made a false statement in his sche-
dule with respect to the party.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS told him that the case
nearly came within one of the penal clauses. He
strongly recommended him to be careful in his future
conduct. He had behaved shamefully towards Messrs.
Goding, and had vexatiously defended their action.
He adjudged the insolvent to an imprisonment of five
calendar months for the vexatious defence from the
vesting order,
Both Courts sat to late hours.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS!.
The September adjourned session of the peace for
the county of Middlesex commenced yesterday morn-
ing at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green. There
were 41 prisoners for trial, the whole of whom, with
three exceptions, were charged with felony. Mr.
Witham presided, in the absence of Mr. Sergeant
Adams, and the following magistrates were present :
—Mr. Turner, Mr. Woodward, Mr. Bayliss, Mr.
Bentley, the Hon. Captain Fitzroy, M.P., Mr. A.
Smith, &c.
The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the grand jury,
and dismissed them to their duties.
ROBBERY AT TUB EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.
Philip Smith, 26, was indicted for haring stolen a
portmanteau, containing a dress coat and other arti-
cles, and a hat-box, containing a hat and other articles,
the property of Mr. William Bunn, from the premises
of the Eastern Counties Railway Company.
Mr. PARRY appeared for the prosecution, and briefly
stated the facts of the case.
The prosecutor (Mr. Bunn) said that he was a so-
licitor residing at Ipswich. On the afternoon of the
15th of September he went to the Shoreditch station of
the Eastern Counties Railway, having with him a
portmanteau and a hatbox, containing various articles
of wearing apparel. It was his intention to go
by the three o'clock train to Ipswich. He
arrived at the station at half-past two o'clock, and
having given his luggage in charge of the pca.ter, he
went to the refreshment-room. lie had only been
there for about five minutes when the porter can le to
him to make an inquiry as to whether he had sent any
person to fetch his luggage. He denied haring lone
so, and went away with the porter, and the prim iner
was subsequently given into custody.
John Ives, porter at the Eastern Counties Rails ray,
said that on the 15th instant the prosecutor arrive d at
the Shoreditch station in a cab, and gave a portnittn-
teau and hatbox into his (witness's) care, and Lay::ng
marked them, he put them into the booking-oiiice. A
few minutes afterwards he was engaged in .taking
some more articles to the office, when he obaervei the
prisoner taking away the luggage of the prosecta, tor.
The prisoner had got away with it about ten or
eleven yards. Witness asked the prisoner what he
was doing with the luggage, as it did not belong to
him, and he replied that it belonged to his unpin, wh
had ordered him to take charge of it, and that
cousin was them in the refreshment-room at the Ottla

" These large open spaces not only afford a present
security against the inconveniences to which the gal-
lery is exposed, but they are the only grounds which
remain safe for future years amidst the growth of the
metropolis.
" P-,:om information which we have received we
believe that from 15 to 20 acres of land, with a front-
age tc, the park, might yet be obtained at a reasonable
price, which would afford a space for the construction
of a, gallery on an eligible site.
" If the outlay necessary for such purpose be
deemed inexpedient., it appears to us that no eligible
site can be obtained except by appropriating for this
purpose a portion of Kensington-gardens.
" There is ample space for a gallery, and for any
future additions, on the side of the gardens adjoining
the Bayswater-road, as marked in the plan, and there
are at present no residences which would be injured
by the construction of such a building.
" These gardens are of such value for the health
and recreation of the inhabitants of the metropolis
that any interference with them, even for this impor-
tant national purpose, may be deemed objectionable.
It may be observed, however, that the adjoining gar-
dens would not only add to the beauty of the building
but would also increase the attractions of the gallery.
" The dryness of the soil and the comparative free-
dom from smoke would favour the preservation of the
pictures, while the distance from the more crowded
districts of the metropolis would be less felt on account
of the beauty of its approaches.
" There is another space marked on the plan as a
paddock between Kensington Palace and the Bays-
water-road, which also attracted our attention, but
the appropriation of this ground to the purpose of a
gallery would, although it is not within the boundary
of the gardens, necessitate the removal of many beau-
tiful trees, and interfere to a greater degree with
these grounds than the site previously mentioned.
" Between these two sites, therefore, we beg to
express our decided preference for the one already
referred to adjoining the Bayswater-road.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
HEROIC CONDUCT OF AN OLD LADY.—Between the
hours of one and two o'clock on Sunday morning last
a daring attempt was made to force an entrance into
the cottage of an independent old lady, named Willis,
living near the Addlestone station, by two young men
named Collyer and Tovey, both of whom were shortly
afterwards apprehended by Police-constable Ayling,
No. 35 of the new county constabulary. On Monday
afternoon the prisoners were examined at the office of
Mr. Grazebrook, magistrates' clerk, at Chertsey, before
the Hon. Captain Cavendish, and fully committed for
trial. From the evidence taken it appeared that the
prosecutrix (who is upwards of 70 years of age) re-
tired to bed on Saturday night between the hours of
eight and nine o'clock, there being no person but
herself in the house, and she having previously
fastened the doors and shutters. During the night
she was awoke by the breaking of glass. She got
out of bed and went to the top of the stair-
case. She then saw a man looking through the
back bed-room window. She asked him what
he wanted there, and told him to go about
his business. She then saw another man, and both
of them tried the back door, saying, " Money they
wanted, and money they would have." Almost im-
mediately afterwards she heard them at the front
sitting-room window down stairs. They were en-
deavouring to cut through the shutters with a knife.
She tied a piece of string to the handle of the shutter,
which she held with her left hand, whilst with her
right she used a long iron candlestick to
prevent the knife coming through the shut-
ter. She then returned up stairs, and found
that they were trying to open the window over the
front door. This she prevented their doing, having
previously armed herself with a sword walking-stick.
She told the villains that if they came in they should
have it. She also told them to recollect the Frimley
murder. She had previously thrown them out a
shilling and some bread and cheese from one of the
windows. She had recognised the features of one of
them (Collyer) to be those of her next door neighbour.
She said to Collyer, " Oh Tom, oh Tom, you worthless
boy." She then heard a scrambling noise, as if they
were running away. During the whole of this time the
constable above alluded to (Ayling), who had watched
the parties to the premises, had taken oft his shoes,
and concealed himself in the garden: Tovey was ap-
prehended by him at the time, and Collyer about an
hour afterwards by the same constable. The pri-
soners contented themselves by a mere denial of the
charge, and were, as above stated, fully committed.
The old lady is in the receipt of an annuity, and had
taken her quarter's money on the previous Thursday,
a circumstance which, it is presumed, had come to the
knowledge of the accused parties.—Sussex Express,

30, 1851.

line, the effect of which was to overturn the tender
Some waggons were destroyed, and the tender was
damaged.
John Malthouse, pointsman, said he was standing
within a short distance of the prisoner on Saturday
evening last. The 7.20 train was expected, and wit-
ness saw the points were correct for Waterloo. He
hoisted the signals that the line was all right, and
when the train passed it went into the goods deport-
ment, instead of proceeding to the terminus. Witness
examined the points after the accident had occurred,
and found them perfectly right. They must have been
open as the train passed, or he would not have found
them closed. The points always closed by the force
of the train passing.
In answer to questions, the witness said he did not
see the prisoner push open the points. He had them
correct shortly before the train approached.
Richard Carey, another pointsman, gave similar
evidence, and addedithat three waggons'were destroyed,
and the pointsman's box was knocked down. The sig-
nal-tnan was thrown under the roof of the box, and
Matthews, who was standing near the trucks, was
thrown under the broken trucks.
Mr. Young said he was sent for, and upon arriving
immediately afterwards he found all the passengers had
alighted and had left the place.
Mr. PAYNTER said it was a very singular tcci-
dent ; generally he found railway companies did not
employ sufficient persons to prevent accidents, but in
this case it seemed that they had employed too many.
Mr. Young said the poi❑ts were self-acting, and if
the prisoner had not touched the points, but put his
hands in his pockets, the accident would not have oc-
curred, as the points would have been closed, and the
trai❑ would have passed on to Waterloo. He did not
believe the prisoner had opened the points purposely;
but it was from an error of judgment.
Mr. PAYNTER asked the prisoner if he had
anything to say in answer to the charge. He
need not state anything unless he thought proper ?
The prisoner said he had no idea that the points
were wrong when the train passed. He was certainly
strange to the points, as he had only been placed
there for two days. He was standing by the points
when the train passed, and he thought they were all
right.
Mr. PAYNTER asked the prisoner how long before
he let an engine pass ?—The prisoner said he could
not tell.

Mr. Young said the prisoner informed him on Sa-
turday night that he let an engine through shortly
before the accident; the points were then quite
correct.

The prisoner again expressed his sorrow for what
had occurred, but he believed the points were correct
when the train passed.
Bent said the life of Matthews was despaired of on
Sunday evening, but that morning he was considered
much better.

Mr. PAYNTER said he should remand the prisoner
until that day fortnight, in order to ascertain whether
the wounded man was likely to recover. He would
accept bail, two sureties in 201. each, and himself in
401., for his appearance ou the day mentioned, to
answer any charge that might be preferred against him.
Bail was put in, and the prisoner was liberated.
