METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

Yesterday the ordinary weekly meeting of the board
was held in the Council-chamber, Guildhall Mr.

Thwaites in the chair.

THE PARK FOR FINSBURY.
The first business entered upon was the further con-
sideration of the memorial from the vestries of the
parishes of St. Mary, Islington ; St. James and St.
John, Clerkenwell ; St. Mary, Stoke Newington ; and
the District Board of Works for St. Andrew, Holborn,
on the subject of forming s park for the northern suburbs

were strongly of opinion that the sewage should be car-
ried down into the estuary of the Thames, where it could
not by any possibility return to pollute the river. The
registrar-general informs us that in from 25 to 30 years
the population of Londozi will be doubled, and, assuming
that data to be correct, Louden may then have actually
extended itself to Erith—in fact, the legal limits went
already to Plumstead, and then all the sewers which we
were now making would have to be broken up again as
being too small. Then he would just allude to the ques-
tion of the marshes on the banks of the Thames. It was
well known that these marshes produce 1 fogs and
agues, affecting not only the vicinity of the marshes
but even extending to the metropolis itself. This
being so it was highly desirable that any plan to
be adopted for the main drainage should include
also the drainage of those marshes. Sir Morton
Peto had published his plan, which was to carry the
sewage from Southwark across the Thames, combine it
with that on the north side, and then take the whole of
it on to the sea. It was necessary that some plan of
deodorisation and utilisation should be adopted. He
would respectfully suggest to his lordship the advisability
of a commission sitting upon the question, and there
could not be any doubt, from the facts which would be
elicited from engineers and other persons thoroughly
acquainted with the subject, that some plan would be hit
upon which would contain none of the obnoxious provi-
sions of those already in existence. He would conclude
with the
.hope that his lordship would favourably con-
sider their position, and, from what had been already
told him, extend to them his protection.
Mr. RENSHAW said that there was one point to which
he wished to allude, as it had been overlooked by the
last speaker. As a merchant and shipowner of 40 years'
standing, he thought that a river like the Thames,
which bore upon it all the riches of the world, should
not be polluted near its estuary by such a vast accumu-
lation of filth as would flow into it under the intended
arrangements. He was of opinion that nothing could
be worse than foreign vessels coming into port meeting
this abominable filthy stream.
The Gravesend deputation was then introduced by
Sir Culling Eardley, and consisted of W. Fletcher, Esq.,
mayor ; Alderman Dobson, Alderman Ditchburn, W. S.
Plane, Esq., Mr. Councillor Gould, Mr. Southgate,
Clerk to Commissioners of Improvements ; Mr. Shar-
land, town clerk.
The MAYOR said that the inhabitants of this town
strongly depreciated nee proposed scheme, in proof of
which he would read the following resolutions :
"Resolved,—That it appears highly expedient that a
scientific consideration, under Government, should be
given to the practicability of deodorising the produce of
the sewers of London, and rendering the same available
for agricultural or other purposes.
" Resolved,—That if insuperable difficulties should be
found to exist in the adopting of the above-mentioned
course, it is most essential for the health of the inhabi-
tants of this town and district and all others on the
banks of the Thames, and for avoiding the rendering
their houses and property valueless, that the great nui-
sance of the discharge of a concentrated sewage into the
river Thames at Erith Reach should be averted.
" Resolved,—That the discharge of such sewage in Sea
Reach appears a course of discharge free from objection in
a sanitary point of view to the inhabitants of property in
any district, would not only avoid those injurious results
to the health and property of the inhabitants on the
banks of the Thames, but would, to use the words of the
engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works, effect the
entire purification of the river.
" Resolved,—That the general purification of the river
Thames may well be considered a great national object."
The Mayor added, he had no hesitation in saying that
the parishes affected by the scheme would use every
weapon in their power, by moans of the Court of Queen's
Bench and the Court of Chancery, to assist them in de-
feating the object. He hoped the noble lord would inter-
fere and prevent so undesirable a collision.
Lord PALMERSTON—Of course you do not expect me
to give you an answer at present. I will give due at-
tention to any statements which you say you will send
me in writing, as well as to the verbal communications
which you have now made to me. You are quite aware
that this is a matter to which I will give my best consi-
deration as soon as I can." This is all I can say at present.
The deputation having thanked the noble lord for his
courtesy and kindness, then retired.

that stream itself will be less pure than it now is, owing
to the increase of the population on its banks. What
are we to do the'n ? We shall have to do what Rome
did, not only at Rome, but all over the world ; what
Glasgow is doing, what New York and Boston have
done, as well as other cities in the United States. We
shall have to go far and wide in quest of such streams
throughout the country as can be brought here, without
injury to other interests. This should be done while
the streams are still pure and the conflicting interests
still unimportant ; otherwise, we shall only discover our
wants when it is too late to rectify them.

of the metropolis.
Mr. SAVAGE, in supporting the prayer of the memo-
rial of the parishes, remarked that a park for the nor-
thern portion of the metropolis was manifestly needed,
and referred to the recently amended act, which fully
empowered the board to provide parks, pleasure-grounds,
and open spaces. He concluded by moving a resolution
to the effect that'theTrayer of the memorialists be com-
plied with ; that the clerk be directed to take the
necessary steps to adopt the Parliamentary notices
already given by the parishes in order that the board
might be prepared to apply for an act this session, and
that it be referred to the Finance Committee to report
upon the best means of raising the necessary funds.
Mr. DIVE/INGER seconded the motion, because he
was anxious to have Hampstead-heath secured to the

public.
Mr. TURNER moved, as an amendment, that it be re-
ferred to the committee of works to consider the appli-
cation now before the board, together with the various
other applications that had been made to the board for
providing parks, &c., and to inquire into the probable
expense, and to report upon the urgency and importance

of the particular plans.
Mr. WILKINSON seconded the amendment, deeming
that that was the best way of dealing with these ques-
tions, which were not free from difficulty.
After some observations from Mr. Deputy Harrison,
Mr. Nicholay, and Mr. Seeley, the motion was put and
lost.
The amendment was then put, when Mr. Howes
moved that a special committee of ten, instead of the
Works' Committee, make the report. This amendment
was lost, as was likewise another brought forward by
Mr. Few, to the effect that the whole question of park
accommodation be considered by the board, irrespective
of any particular locality. The amendment of Mr. Tur-
ner being now the original motion, was put from the
chair, and carried, upon a show of hands, by 20 to 11.

THE OUTFALL INTO THE GERMAN OCEAN.
The subjoined letter from Sir S. M. Peto, directed to
the clerk of the board, and dated " Somerleyton
Suffolk, Nov. 24, 1856," was read by Mr. Woolrych :
"My dear Sir,—l am most anxious that before you
finally decide upon the outfalls for the metropolitan sew-
age you should have all the points of Mr. M`Lean's plan
before you, and I shall be greatly obliged by your allow-
ing me to attend you with that gentleman to afford you
the necessary explanation. The imperative importance of
the subject will, I trust, be considered a sufficient excuse
for thus troubling you The whole of the plans and sec-
tions of the proposed outfall sewer to the German Ocean
being now completed, you can have all the necessary in-
fer:nation with accuracy, so that your decision may be
taken without delay. The levels taken show such a differ-
ence between the height of the top water of the aqueduct
at West Ham, as shown in the sections of the engineer of
the Metropolitan Board of Works, and the level of the
spring tides of the German Ocean at the point of discharge,
as will admit a velocity of nearly three feet per second.
The sewer will be capable of discharging the whole of the
sewerage and rainfall estimated by the engineer of the
Metropolitan Board of Works, without any additional
pumping, in a continuous stream, and at all times of the
tide. With the assumed velocity of three feet per second,
there will not be any deposit of sewerage except at places
selected specially for that purpose ; and this velocitiy is not
only sufficient to prevent the deposit of any soil, but is equal
to removing broken stones as large as those generally used for
metalling roads. As regards estimates, the sum of 1,600,0,X11.
will be sufficient for executing the works, &c., between
West Ham and the sea. The locality of the outfall is ad-
mirably adapted for chemical works of every description, if
requisite, in connection with the sewerage, and is so far
removed from habitations, or places where houses are likely
to be built, that such works could never becsme a nui-
sance; and it has the advantage of close proximity to the
rivers Crouch and Blackwater, both of which form excel-
lent harbours. From the best data I can obtain, lam led
to believe that the proposed outfall at B in the metropo-
litan plans will cost (the writer here enumerates the seve-
ral items) 1,110,356/. The comparison will therefore stand
in outlay at 1,600,0001., as against 1,110,356; and in
making this comparison I assume that the cost of convey-
ing the sewage from the south side, including the sewage
of Greenwich and Woolwieh, to the outfall sower of the
north side, will not be greater than the cost of the pro-
posed outfall sower on the south side. Indeed, instead of
a difficulty in adopting the system of sewage proposed by
your engineer for the south side, it will much simplify the
work of collecting the sewage at Southwark-bridge instead
of at Deptford Creek, as it will not be necessary to make
any portion of the so'ver below low water, as at present
proposed by the engineer of the board. You will, by the
adoption of Mr. al`Lean's plan, entirely get rid of all re-
servoirs and pumping at the outfall, and the Thames will
be left perfectly clear of sewerage matter; and the pro-
prietors of land in South Essex, by the memorial so exten-
sively signed, showed their great anxiety for the adoption
of the plan, so that no opposition of a local nature need be
feared by you, if after deliberation you should approve of
the plan. I have no desire in any way to be connected
with the execution of these works, my only object being
that the plan should have ample consideration given to it.
I feel a deep interest in the subject, from having
sat two years in the Sewers Commission ; but, that you
may feel the difference in expense is not an insuperable
barrier to the execution of these great works, I am whiling,
with my friends, if you will pay, by way of a rent in per-
petuity for the use of the outfall sewer to the German Ocean
an interest of 5 per cent. per annum on the cost of your own
outfall and the works connected therewith, to construct
the outfall to the sea, and that you have the free use of it
for the rent so paid. I make this offer that the subject
may be treated on its own merits, an advantage fully
equivalent to any difference being obtained at the outfall
, into the sea; for, outside the present sea wall, and lying
between the rivers Biackwater and Crouch, is an exten-
sive foreshore, capable of being reclaimed ; and there is an
area of about six miles long and one Mile broad, or nearly
4,000 acres, which might be at once treated in this way ;
and there are upwards of 20,000 acres more which might
be similarly treated, from time to time, by sewerage, net
otherwise utilised, being discharged over it. Thus, that
which will, in the case of the Themes outfall being adopted
(treat it as you will), become a nuisance on the south Essex
shore, will become a public benefit and a source of income.
It appears to me that this great subject should be grasped
with a determination so to treat it that the works executed
should be sufficient for all time, and able to meet the crm-
tingency of any future increase of the metropolis ; and any
little delay at. the present moment in coining to your deter-
mination would be far more than counterbalanced by the
right conclusion being arrived at."
Mr. D'IFFANGER, atter a few laudatory remarks upon
the character and standing of Sir S. M. Pete, but with-
out, as he said, committing himself to the plan pro-
pounded, moved that the letter be acknowledged, and
that Sir S. M. Peto be requested to attend on Tuesday
next to explain the details of his plan.
Mr. NICHOLAY seconded the motion.
Mr. CARPMAEL said it was necessary the plan should
be laid before the board previous to its being discussed.
If it should turn out to be the old plan already proposed
by Mr. M'Lean, and rejected by the board, he would
advise the board not to listen to the course now suggested.
The CHAIRMAN said it was desirable the public mind
should be disabused of one or two matters which had
been misunderstood. It was supposed that the board
had under its consideration a plan proposed by Mr.
M‘Lean to accomplish the whole drainage of the
metropolis for 1.600,000/. Nothing could be more
erroneous than such a notion. It appeared, in answer
to questions put to Mr. M‘Lean, that he proposed to
bring all the sewage on the south side of the river to one
great reservoir at the foot of Southwark-bridge, and then
lift it up by means of lnmps seine 70 or 80 feet into
tubes crossing the bri.ige, and drop it again into another
sewer which should carry it to West Ham, where again
it
would have to be lifted into a second sewer and car-
ried down to Crouch river. On being asked whether he
knewthat the present direction of the sewers was from
west to
question, or into the question how the sewage could be
collected from all the outlying districts to the foot of
Southwark bridge. Nor had he calculation

80 fairla to contrast an
estimate, from which was omitted
the estimate of the works proposed byrgtheeaneitene, with
that board. He did not believe Sir S. Peto wilgolunledewr wil-
lingly lend himself to i
anything so deceptive • but that
he bad taken the question up purely from a desire to
pro-
mote the general object which the board hadtoa

After a few observations from Mr LESLIE, Mr. CUL.
LIN, and other members, the motion was put and
nevatived.
The board then adjourned.

(Prom the Lancet.)
When posterity hunts through the pages of history,
seeking examples of extinct words, the records of the
Metropol►tan Board of Works will afford ample illustra-
tion of the word "muddle." Considering how great
were the interests confided to them it seems incredible
that so little should have been done. They at first en-
joyed an amount of public confidence seldom vouchsafed
to any untried body of men. They had power to act,
and ample means to enable them to act, with abundance
of abuses, whereof their new brooms might have made
a clean sweep. At first, when the performance fell so
far short of our expectations, there was a plausible excuse
in reserve. If profusion of talk, and time wasted in
irrelevant discussion, suggested the query, " Quid
dignum tanto feret hiatu ?" the vast subject of the
sewage was held sufficient, like Charity, to cover a
multitude of sins,—for there are sins of omission as of
commission. On this great question there was a mighty
affectation of solemn discussion, the results of which are
now before the public. The plans to be considered were
marshalled in alphabetical array, and once threatened tc
employ all the letters, but were at last considerately
limited to plans A, B, C, and D—John Bull expressing
his opinion of this first evidence of feeble indecision by
echoing the D, with a dash.
After great debate Plan B was selected, and taken to
Sir B. Hall for his approval as the cleverest thing the
Board of Works could accomplish. Then, and not till
then, the pet scheme was discovered to be clearly op-
posed to the meaning of the law specially passedto guide
the selection. The officer appointed to investigate the
force of the sea-tide in the Thames had reported that an
outfall less than 15 miles from London-bridge would not
carry away the sewage clear of the town. So it was laid
down in the law that this should be the minimum distance;
that the discharge should be nowhere near the extremest
point of the boundaries of London. In the plan proposed
by the Board the outfall into the river was distant scarcely
a mile from the limits of the metropolitan area. It was
rejected by the Chief Commissioner, and, lest any one
should wonder what possible motive led to its recotnmen-
mendation, the chairman volunteered an explanation at
the interview. "Probably," said Mr. Thwaites," the
most important element which guided them was the
question of finance."
On the drainage of London depends the health and
lives of millions of human beings, including those who
are born and die without any account of them being in-
cluded in the census. Whatever scheme is now adopted
can only ba altered subsequently at an enormous cost.
Yet, in the full knowledge of this, it now appears that
the Board of Works have all along been higgling about
an expenditure that no one ever thought of grudging for
such a purpose. Whilst the authorities are incubating
a fresh scheme, private enterprise has been directed to
the accomplishment of the work, and several proposi-
tions of practical thinkers are now under consideration.
To these we shall hereafter refer.

THE MURDER IN PARLIAMENT-STREET.

CRIMINAL COURT.
The following appeared in our late edition of last
night :
(Before Baron Alderson and Justice Coleridge.)
Yesterday morning Robert Marley, alias Jenkins, was
indicted for the wilful murder of Richard Cope, assistant

to Mr. Berry, watchmaker, of Parliament-street.
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clark conducted the prosecu•
Lion, and Mr. Sleigh defended the prisoner.
The facts of this atrocious case hare been so ire-
quently and fully before the public that a detailed
report on this occasion is wholly unnecessary. The pri-
soner, on taking his position at the bar, cast a hasty
glance round the court, and nearly throughout the whole
of the proceedings he maintained the greatest calmness.
The witnesses who gave evidence against the prisoner
at Bow-street were severally examined by Mr. Bodkin
and cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh, the object of the
learned gentleman engaged for Marley, for some time,

(Front the Times.)
Exeter-hall for once at a nonplus ! Sir Culling Eard-
ley and Lord Palmerston, the Evangelical Alliance and
the "powers that be," on the common platform of
a sanitary nuisance, exchanging condolences and diffi-
culties ! Sir Culling Eardley appears in teat character
in which all Englishmen, of all orders, religious, pro-
fessions, or morals, are sure to appear at one
time or another,—the character of John Bull,
defending his castle against invasion and an-
noyance. It's in them all, and is sure to
come out. We have read many a religious
biography, but never one of ordinary fulness in
which the biographer was not proud to exhibit his sub
jest in the attitude of just indigilation and delaince.
And has not Sir Calling Eardley a cause ? His Lures
and Penates are threatened by a foe worse than palpable
robber or good wholesome murderer. Plan No. 2 of
the Metropolitan Board of Works proposes to carry all
the sewage of London to within three-quarters of a mile
of Erith Church. The result of this would be that
Erith, sweet Erith, with its healthy northern slope, its
pretty church and villas, with Belvidere-house and its
beautiful grounds, would be the very scapegoat of
, London miasma. The foul stream disgorged from the
black jaws of a huge sewer would there meet the light
and heat of day. Is would there begin its long term of
wanderings up and down the tide. Ups, indeed, we are
promised there shall be none ; but what is the value of
promises when sewage is concerned ? What promise,
too, could bind the air, and compel it not to refund the
atmospheric products up the valley of the Thames ? If,
too—and we must say it is a most terrible " if,"—the
vast apparatus that is to be, some time cr other, for
collecting. drying, deodorising, and reducing the more
solid products should be just opposite Erith, one might
as well be on the verge of that bottomless pit, whence,
by the common consent of all authorities, sacred and
profane, there arises the foulest of stenches. Nor is
Sir Culling Eardley unsupported in his complaint. The
whole tide cf insult and iejury would come down upon
Gravesend without even the flimsy subterfuge of being
under orders not to touch the town. It would go up
and down no one can say how often. But the voice of
remonstrance is heard still lower. A shipowner appears,
and protests emphatically against the proposal to greet
all strangers, mad our own homeward-bound vessels with
a vast pool of filth just discharged, in the best preserva-
tion, at the very mouth of the Thames. As everybody
knows, at the end of a sea voyage, and in the change
from one climate to another, the bodily health is always
in a peculiar state, and unusually sensitive to malignant
infisteucte Indeed the probability is that. every ship
passing through this zone of malaria would bring the
cholera, or souse fever, or we know not what morbid
variety, right up the river jet) the heart of the metro-
polis.
In fact, an outlet at Erith would be only a half
'measure. No measure, indeed, would be a whole one,
but this would be literally half, for London, it is com-
puted, wilt be twice as populous, and more than twice as
extensive, in thirty or forty years, and then, it stands to
reason, an expedient which only just suffices now will be
very far short of the occasion then. Tee particular spot,
too, is most unfortunate. This tidal estuary which we
call the Thames flows through an immense extent of
marshes, considerably under high water, and always pro-
ducing fogs and agues. Though the water of the Thames
(is carefully kept by high banks from diffusing itself over
' those marshes, no doubt a poisonous effluvium from its
banks would be a serious addition to the ordinary marsh
air. These considerations have already had their weight
in the proper quarters, and we have no doubt that the
St. George of Belvidere will not have to fight a sewerage
dragon at Erith. What, then, is to be done ? The
people on the Thames have all agreed that an outlet at
Sea Reach will answer the purpose, and Sir Morton Peto
will stand godfather to the plan—and father, too, if ne-
cessary. He will be glad to undertake the work. As
for the drainage of the marshes, we should have thought
that the conveyance of the metropolitan sewage through
more than 40 miles of artificial conduits was work enough
by itself, and did not require the additional charge of
some thousand acres of marsh land. The marshes must
take care of themselves ; and, in fact, they reqaire
nothing but a few steam engines here and there
to lift the accumulations of rain water to the level
of the Thames. Haarlem Lake and our own
Whittlesea-mere have been drained of every drop
of water, insomuch that the Great Northern Rail-
way, we believe, passes over the bed of the latter.
There is no need to invoke the metropolis to drain Erith
marshes, which are rich enough to pay for their own
draining. How far the two operations can be combined
with a fair division of the charges is another question.
We don't see, ourselves, how a combination is either
possible or desirable, or what the two things can have
to do with one another. So on this point we wait to be
enlightened, and should be glad to hear what the engin-
eers say on this subject.
Supposing this to be the plan adopted—and there
seems little doubt of it—will our readers just reflect on
the immensity of the undertakings to which our want
of forethought, unity, and system has committed us ?
Parliament, within these three or four years, has com-
pelled all the water companies to go up the river, above
the reach of the tide 20 or 30 miles, in quest of the
pure element. Thus, we go up the river 70 or 80 miles
from its mouth, take a considerable fraction of its vo-
lume, likely to be seriously felt in dry summers, and are
about to conduct it by pipes to the ocean, taking care
to
pass it, on the way, through our streets and houses.
It certainly is a grand operation, like that of the East-
ern conqueror who passed a river by dividing it into
many small channels. It is evident, however, that at
least
one of these operations is superfluous. Had we pre-
served the river free from pollution we might have drunk
its water without fear, or at least with only such filtra-
tion as may be necessary at Reading or Oxford. - As it
is, our relations with the great river on which London
professes to be built will be rather doubtful. We shall

mense pipes to bring the water from the super-tidal

DEPUTATIONS TO LORD PALMERSTON.
Yesterday at 11 o'clock, two deputations from the
south-eastern section of the metropolitan suburbs had
an interview with the First Lord of the Treasury, at the
noble premier's private residence, Cambridge House,
Piccadilly.
The first was from Eritb, and was introduced by Sir
Culling Eardley, Bart.--2,1r.' James Renshaw, church-
warden; Mr. Charles Beadle, churchwarden ; the Rev.
Mr. Bernal!, and others. Lord Darnley, the Venerabie
Archdeacon Smith, and Mr. Masters Smith, one of the
members for the county, arrived too late, in consequence
of a misapprehension of the hour fixed by the noble
viscount.
Sir CULLING EARDLEY opened the object of the depu-
tationto his lordship by stating that in consequence of
the
intended project, a short time ago, to collect the
main drainage ot the metropolis, a deputation had waited
upon Sir B. Hall, and explained to him the evils that
were likely to accrne from such a course, when be nega-
tived the scheme as far as Erith was concerned. The
inhabitants had,

inflict a very grievous wurlling) was sure that it would

a constitutional right to emptyd Chair ers looked upon it as

to become of E • nth,
seeing it was so far below ? Slop pails m
s, mewhere, but he hoped that it would not
be emptied
not be don'
either at Erith or Gravesend. The deputations which
ad the honour of attending upon is lordship
this day

evidently being to show that it was a case of mistaken

identity.
When the witness Croft was giving his evidence, in
which he stated that he saw the prisoner striking at

somebody in the shop of Mr. Berry in Parliament-street,
Marley fixed a steadfast gaze upon him, and it was
some time before he again resumed his apparent calm-
ness. On Baron Alderson putting the question to
Croft whether he had the slightest doubt in his
mind as to the prisoner being the person he saw come
out of lir. Berry's shop on the evening of the shocking
occurrence, and on his reply in the negative, the prisoner
convu►sively bit his lips, but shortly afterwards he
regained his composure. The effect of the answsr of
Croft was completely to fix the prisoner's identity.
Mr. Sleigh, the prisoner's counsel, did not attempt a
cross-examination of this witness. The only other person
whose evidence created the slightest sensation in court
was Allen, the hackney carriage attendant, the brother-
in-law of the unfortunate man Cops, and when the
witness left the witness-box the prisoner evidently felt
great relief, as the %hole tenour of evidence was greatly
against him.

The next incident that occurred was the examination
of Mr. Barnaby, the chief clerk of the Bow-atre,t
police•court. This gentleman read the depositions taken
before Mr. .Jardine, the magistrate, at the Westminster
Hospital. The witness having finished reading
the document, Mr. Sleigh asked Mr. Burnaby
whether the precise question " Is that the man
who struck you ?" was not put to Cope in the pre-
sence of Marley. Mr. Burnaby said it was not. The
injured man was, of course, prepared for encountering

the presence of the prisoner, immediately on seeing
whom Cope gave a convulsive shudder, and is answer
to the question, whether he could identify any
person present as the man who had injured him, he
pointed to the prisoner and said, " That's the man."
At the relation of this incident in the dreadful tragedy
a thrill of horror ran through the court, but the prisoner
at this particular moment was not in the slightest degree
disturbed.
In the course of the examination of Mr. Marshall, the
surgeon of Westminster Hospital, the witness was enter-
ing into a detailed description of the injuries that Cope
had received on the head, when
Baron Alderson, addressing Mr. Marshall, said—Now,
never mind all that ; we want to know what was the
cause of the death of Cope.
Mr. Marshall—The deposition of matter in the lungs.
Baron Alderson—What was the cause of that
Mr. Marshall—lnjuries of the litad.
The opinion of Mr. Marshall was confirmed by Mr.
B. Halt, and Mr. Lawrence, senior surgeon of Bartho-
lomew's Hospital. The latter gentleman said he had
never known a case of a person recovering who had
received such extensive injuries as the deceased had
after the operation of trepanning bad been performed.
This closed the case for the prosecution.
The court then adjourned for a few minutes.
Mr. Sleigh, in addressing the jury for the prisoner,
said that the inquiry in which they were that day engag-
ed was one of the most awful, and involved upon himself
a responsibility cf great magnitude. But in any
decision which they would arrive at he felt sure they
would be guided by strict impartiality. He felt it his
duty to inform the jury that he was not instructed
directly by the prisoner himself, but he had
been instructed on the part of the Sheriffs not
to attempt to frustrate or impede the ends of
justice, but to tee that the prisoner had a perfectly fair
and impartial trial. To find the man at the bar guilty
of the charge imputed to him they must be satisfied
that the prisoner was the man who committed the offence
in Mr. Berry's shop. They must be satisfied that his
hand was the one which caused the death of the
unfortunate man Cope. The first point to which he would
direct their attention was, aye or no, is the man standing
at the bar the man seen in Mr. B erry's shop inflicting
injuries upon the unfortunate deceased?? He had taken
advantage of the recess that had taken place to shortly
review the whole of the facts adduced that day, and ho
thought that when they came to view them they would
arrive at the conclusion that the present case was one of
mistaken identity. The fact that the basket which had
been stolen from Mr. Berry's had not been discovered was
a strong point in favour of the prisoner ; and he put it to
them whether it was not possible for the person who had
committed the robbery to have thrown away the life
preserver and still preserved the produce of the robbery.
The whole of this part of the ciao was involved in doubt,
and he felt sure that the jury would carefully consider the
evidence in regard to it. The medical evidence was not
at all conclusive as to the cause of death, and it had been
stated that there wore certain evidences that there had
been some internal disease. Before they could convict
the prisoner of murder the jury must be fully satisfied
that he committed the crime with malice aforethought,
and he did not see the slightest circumstance in the
evidence that had been placed before them which would
enable them to arrive at such a conclusion. There was
no such motive in this case. Where was the malice
shown ! There was no laying wait. There was no
motive, grudge, or menace, as regarded the deceased,
existing in the prisoner's mind, and no intention to kill
could have existed.
Baron Alderson—But, if he went for the purpose of
robbing, and, in carrying out that purpose, took away
the man's life, lam of opinion—in fact, there is no
doubt about it—it is clearly faurder.
Mr, Sleigh said that was undoubtedly BO ; but, still,

THE SUN, LONIDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 29, 1856.

he should contend for a favourable construction of the
doubt to which the prisoner at the bar was most unques-
tionably entitled to. The learned counsel concluded his
speech by a forcible appeal to the feelings of the jury,
beseeching them that, if the slightest doubt existed in
the minds of any of them with regard to the guilt of
the prisoner, they would acquit him of the heinous
clime of which he was accused.
Baron ALDIIUSON then charged the jury, and in doing
so laid before them the state of the law with respect to
such crimes as the one they were now engaged in inves-
tigating. He said if they were satisfied that the prisoner
at the bar was the man who entered Mr. Berry's shop
and struck the blows for the purpose of silencing the
man, in order that he might more easily convey the
plunder away—although he did not intend to commit
murder—still, if those injuries resulted in death, there
could be no doubt that the crime of which the prisoner
was accused came within the act of murder. The learned
judge then proceeded to comment on the evidence that
had been given, and said it was evident that the most
favourable moment had been selected for the commission
of the crime. All the valuable property was supposed
to have been placed in a parcel to be conveyed away
from the premises for security during the night. The
evidence further went to show that there were more than
the prisoner concerned in this heinous offence, and it
seemed to him (the learned judge) that the three men
who were outside the door of Mr. Barry's shop, and who,
in answer to certain inquiries, said the noise was occa-
sioned by a man and his wife quarrelling, were acting in
concert with the prisoner at the bar. Then, again, as
to the identity of the prisoner. The evidence of the
young man who stated that he looked through the open-
ing between the doors of the shop, and saw the prisoner
inflicting blows upon some one, and then afterwards
light a cigar and leave the premises, and the fact that
the prisoner when taken into custody had a lighted
cigar in his hand, was strong evidence that he was
the person in the shop of Mr. Berry on the night of
the robbery. In addition to this circumstance, the
whole of the evidence seemed to leave no doubt about
the identity of the prisoner; but this part of the case
they would most seriously consider. Then, with respect
to the place in which the life-preserver was found, it was
quite possible for a person to throw it to the place where
it was picked up from the spot where the prisoner was
taken into custody ; and supposing it was not so thrown,
it did not seem at all likely that a person wishing to
conceal such a weapon would not have thrown it inside
the square and not left it on the pavement. It was fur-
ther stated that when the prisoner was taken into cus-
tody four fingers on his right band were covered with
blood. This would, in all probability, be the hand by
which the blows upon the unfortunate man were adminis-
tered, and the suggestion of the learned counsel for the
defence that the blood had got upon the prisoner's hand
in consequence of his contact with the persons who had
been rendering assistance to the unfcrtuaate man Cope,
of course they would give that suggestion all the value
it deserved. The learned judge having went through the
medical evidence, said they would well weigh all the cir
cumstances, awl if they came to the conclusion that the
blows on the head occasioned the death of Cope, and
that they were dealt by the prisoner, then they would
find him guilty, but if they bad the slightest doubt as
to the prisoner at the bar being the man they would
acquit Lim of the charge. I now commit you to the
care of God Almighty, and may He conduct you to a
right conclusion.
'At half-past three the jury retired to consider their
verdict, and, after an absence of 25 minutes, returned a
verdict of " Guilty."
The Clerk of the Arraigns having asked the prisoner
if he had anything to say why he should not receive

sentence,
Marley, in a quick, sharp tone said, "I have nothing
to say."
The usual proclamation of silence having been made,
The Learned Judge put on the black cap, and said—
Robert Marley, after a patient and impartial invosliga-
tion, the jury have found you guilty of the crime of
murder, committed under circumstances of considerable
aggravation. In the commission of the crime it was
evident from the circumstances that have occurred dur-
ng the trial that you and three other persons had ma-
ured plans for its commission, and that you were selected
to perpetrate the offence which they were cowardly
enough to witness. This is not the first time that you
have been tried and convicted in this court. You
have bean sentenced to a term of transportation, but
through the mercy of the Crown you received a ticket
of leave, and this dreadful crime is your gratitude
for being allowed to return to the metropolis. Such a
circumstance naturally causes us to doubt the wisdom of
that mercy which had been extended to you. There will
still be time given you for repentance for your awful
crime, although you allowed your victim none. I trust
that as he was permitted to live so long after the injuries
were inflicted that his prayers to Almighty God for for-
giveness of his murderers were heard, and that your
heart will he so softened before the final execution of
the sentence that you yourself may be induced to seek
that pardon of which you stand so much in need. I
implore you to occupy the short time that you will now
have in this world, in supplicating for mercy before the
throne of an all-wise, all-merciful God. The sentence
of the Court is, that you be taken from hence
to the place from whence you came, and from
thence to a place of execution, and that you be there
hanged by the neck until you be dead, and that your
body be afterwards buried within the precincts of the
gaol.
The prisoner, who had listened calmly to the exhorta.-
tints of the learned judge, here shortly bowed his head,
and turning on his heel was about quitting the dock,
but the officers in attendance motioned to him that the
sentence was not complete, when be returned, and the
learned judge finished his observation with, a prayer that
the Lord would have mercy upon his soul.
The prisoner again bowed his head, and trippingly left
the dock.
At the conclusion of the trial Mr. Bodkin informed
the court that the witness Lerigo had, in consequence of
having to attend the various examinations in connection
with this case, lost his situation.
Baron Alderson said he greatly regretted such a cir-
cumstance, but if the recommendation of the judges
would be of any service in getting him another heshould
have it. The conduct of Lerigo was worthy of the
highest approval, and he tendered the thanks of the
bench to him. Although he had lost his
employment by his attendance at this case, he
had no doubt but that another and a better would be
procured for him. Ile wished that a book was kept in
that court that a record of the names of such indi-
viduals as Lerigo, who had acted so nobly, might be
inserted as a pattern and an example to others. If
such a book, after these observations be ever kept, be
should give directions that the name of Lerigo
should be inserted, and that a copy of the book be sent
to him, in order that he might show to his friends the
estimation in which his conduct had been held by the
Court. He was empowered to reward persons for meri-
torious services, and he should have great pleasure in
giving directions that Lerigo should receive the sum of
20/. (Suppressed marks of applause.)
The learned Judge then called Allen forward, and said
he had acted well on the occasion ; but, as he had not
lost his situation, he should direct that the sum of 10/.
be paid to him.

WAKEFIELD—Nov. 28.

There was a steady consumptive demand for wheat at
last Friday's prices, and with a rather firmer tone than in
the earlier part of the week. Barley, unless very fine, was
rather lower. Beans, oats, and shelling were rather dull of
sale.

THE NEW MEDICAL BILL.—Tlie Apothecaries Com-
pany of Dublin has formally express,?,d its dissent from
the new bill proposed by the medical corporations. This
looks like the first shot of another skirmish, destined,
like those during the last few sessions of Parliament, to
continue until it is too late to bring in a bill of any sort;
when the disputants will blame one another for throwing
obstacles in the way, and Parliament will ask in despair
what can be done for a body of men who do not yet
know their own minds ? As the bill of last session, after
all the patching it underwent, was finally acknowledged
to fairly represent the wishes of the profession, there is
no very satisfactory reason why all the trouble expended
on it should be lost, and this invention of the medical
corporations substituted. It is true that the bill of last
session rather curtailed the liberal allowance of loaves
and fishes hitherto divided amongst these corporations,
but the profession will hardly consider this a valid ob-
jection. The real object of a Medical Bill should be the
protection and advancement of the welfare of the gene
ral body of practitioners ; not the conservation of cor-
porations that only nominally represent, and on
lan-
guidly protect, the interests of the great body oYf
profession.—Lancet.

without medicine, of indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency,
