METROPOLITAN _BOARD OF WORKS.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—DonOHESTER, July 21.,
eIt,OWN COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin.)
Elizabeth lfarrha Brown, describedas a shopkeeper, aged
44, was arraigned for the wilful murder of her husband,
John A. Brown, at Broadwinsor, on the 6th July, 1853.
Mr. Stock and Mr. Compton appeared for the prosecu-
tion ; Mr. Edwards for the prisoner.
It appeared that the prisoner and deceased were for-
merly fellow-servants in a farmhouse, and about six years
ago they were married. Deceased, who rt as about 19 years
of age, kept a horse and cart, and acted as a general car-
rier, while prisoner kept a shop for the sale of groceries.
His business took him a good deal from home, and he
sometimes came home late in a state of intoxication. The
result of the marriage was not very happy, and the pri-
soner was jealous of a woman named Mary Davis. On
Saturday, the sth July, about six o'clock, deceased and a
carrier named Fooks, left Broadwinsor for Boaminster.
On their way they were joined by Mary Davis, who how-
ever left them as soon as she got to the place where she
was going to work. Nooks and deceased returned hour
Beaminstor about threo or four o'clock in the afternoon.
On arriving at Broadwinsor they remained drinking and
playing at skittles till a late hour. About midnight ho
and Fooks left to go home. They went together till they
came to Mount's corner, whore Books left deceased going
towards home with his horse and cart, when, although in-
toxicated, lie was quite capable of taking care of himself.
.bout 5 o'clock in the morning the prisoner called up
Richard Damen, deceased's cousin, who lived about 130
yards off, and begged him to get up, as the horse had
nearly killed her husband. Damon went to the house, and
found deceased lying on the floor of ono of the rooms, and
found that he was dead. The deceased had a great many
cuts on his head, and a handkerchief was bound round it.
In reply to questions Damon and others put to the pri-
soner, see stated that about two o'clock the heard her hus-
band come down to the window, and she went out to the
door ; she said she had helped him in ; she said, "Oh
John, where haveyou been, or what have you been about,?"
and he said just " The horse," once, and that was all ;
she helped him in, planed him in a chair, and he laid down
in her lap ; he took hold of her dress, and held her so tight
for threehours, that she could not go to call any one ; that
when he got Weak he let o; and she went out and called
Denton. It was stated thet a woman named Frampton,
residing near prisoner's house, heard screams between two
and three o'clock in the morning, but to this the counsel
for the prosecution did not attach much importance. The
points chiefly urged against the prisoner were the absence
of blood outside the house, on the door step, and in the pas-
sage( by which latter alone deceased Could have been brought
into the apartment), the absence of blood from deceased's
face, and shirt front, the absence of dirt from his hands,
and the testimony of the medical gentleman that the
wounds could not have been caused by the kick of a horse,
and that the deceased, with such severe wounds, could not
have got from the gate of the field (into which he had
turned the horse) into the room where he died, as described
by the prisoner, neither could he have been brought into
the house without leaving marks in the passage. Another
remarkable circumstance was that one of deceased's boots
was unlaced, and there was a wound at the back of the
head, as if he had been struck while in a stooping position.
The deceased used to keep a small hatchet in the house,
but after his death it could not be found.
Mr. Edwards, for the defence, urged that the wounds de-
posed to would have required extraordinary strength, and
it could hardly be conceived that the prisoner had inflicted
them ; that the prisoner had an interest in her husband's
life, and that instead of thinking of murdering him, it
was shown that she had prepared his supper for him. He
denied that there was any issue raised by the prisoner
that the deceased was killed by the horse. It was told
them by a witness that several parties who went to the
house attributed the death to the horse, and the prisoner
might have adopted the same supposition. Bnt even put-
ting it aside that death was caused by the kicks of a horse,
was it not more probable that the deceased had been way-
laid by some party who knew that he had been receiving
money for poles, and by that party murdered, instead of by
his wife ? Having commented upon the medical evidence
as speculative and doubtful, he said with reference to the
absence of blood between the gate of the field and the
house, that the injuries might have boon received close to
the house door. As to there being no blood in the passage,
he observed that the deceased's long hair might have con-
ducted it into his clothes. The fact that the coroner's
jury had returned an open verdict was also noticed.
The learned judge having summed up,
The jury retired, and after remaining three hours in de-
liberation, returned into court, and intimated that they
could not agree, and wished to ask some questions of the
medical gentlemen. Having again consulted for a few
minutes, they returned a verdict of Guilty.
His Lordship, who said that he entirely concurred in
the decision of the jury, then passed sentence of death in
the usual form.
Before the prisoner loft the dock she was asked by the
Rev. A. N. de la Foss whether the story about the horse
was not trumped up, to which she replied, "It was." She
added, that the way in which her husband came by his
death was by falling down stairs, and declared with an
oath that she never struck him at all.

At the adjourned special meeting yesterday the
debate was resumed upon Major Lyon's motion for
the adoption o the outfall in Erith Marshes for
the maid drainage, as proposed by the engineer in
his amended report of the 7th of July, with a pro-
vision that the discharge shall take place only at or
after high water. Mr. Doulton moved, and Mr.
Hows seconded, as an amendment, " That the
engineer be directed to prepare a plan, with sec:
tions and estimates, for extending the main sewer
to Long Reach, and that the sewage bo discharged
there only at or after high water." The discussion
lasted some hours. The amendment was opposed
by Mr. Dixon, Mr. T. H. Hall, Mr. Wright, Mr.
11. L. Taylor, and Mr. Deputy Harrison, on the
ground that it would involve a great and unne-
cessary increase of the cost, estimated by the last-
named gentleman at 170,000/. extra for construc-
tion, and 3,0001. a-year for pumping ; on the other
side, it was contended by several members that it
would be worth while to make the scheme so
thoroughly effectual as to insure Sir B. Hall's ap-
proval. The Chairman then put the amendment,
when there appeared 14 votes for it, and an equal
number against it. The chairman gave his casting
vote in favour of the amendment, which then
stood as a substantive motion. Mr. Wrightinoved,
as another amendment, " That the engineer be in-
structed to report on the desirability of carrying
the entire sewage of the metropolis below Erith,
by means of one large tunnel to Sea Reach." The
ourned, debate-was again adj

POLICE ITELLIGENOZ-July 22.

MANSION-HOUSE.— James Railtom, a stockbroker, I
was brought before the Lord Mayor in custody of Daniel
Forrester, the Mansion-house officer, chargel with having
feloniously aided, counsolled, and procured a certain
female, whose name is unknown, to forge the transfer of
five hundred pounds in the New Three por Cent. Consols,
which transfer purported to be made by one Eliza Potts,
with intent to defraud the Bank of England.
Mr. Treshfield, solicitor to the Bank of England, ap-
peared for the prosecution ; Mr. Wontner attended on be-
half of the prisoner.
Mr. Freslifielci briefl ' paned the case on the part of the
prosecution, and called
Mr. llenrrHasley, o said—l am a clerk in the New

I interfered with by a man muffled in a cloak •wjaich cOn-
cealed his features, who asked him While namiowne Kay,
and being told it was, said—" I arrest ' yoto
He replied he owed no debt he could be arrested for.
The man answered, " Your wife does." The cdiepraiiofin.: ohel
was arrested, he was not allowed to go into leis'hoftaio
but he was taken in a cab, by the man who arrested hiiie; os-s ee
to a house at the west-end of the town. He was placed '
in a room on the ground floor, and theman di eapileared,„
locking him in the room. The complainant sot down to
write a letter to his solicitor ; while thus engaged the
door was opened, and tie defendant Johnston came in.
The Col-4141:mM naturally said, "Why 'have I been ar-
rested for debt ?" The defendant replied. "The arrest is
all sham, it was only made for the purpose of getting
you hetai." The defendant then locked -the door and.
commenced a tirade of abuse. awl alander of the charac-
ters of certain parties, afterwards making overtures to
revive the association that had already prove i so
ruinous to Kay. The defendant Johnston would not
permit Kay to depart without extorting a pledge that
he- -would write to him and ask him to dine in
some place, when they could t'en so arrange as to
' get the Court of Chancery decrees modified in some
way. Now, a promise so obtained, neither in law
nor honour is binding. As soon as Doty obtained
his liberty he sonebt advice, and in consequence of
that step the defendant is hero before you. The com-
plainant Kay was imprisoned thre# hours—from 12 at
night until 3 in the morning. This appears to in» to be a
serious and scandalous outrage. It arose out of proceed--
ings in a higher court of law, and I think I am justified
in calling on you to ask Johnston to find o.ood bail to
answer such charge as may be preferred aminst bin in
another c met. The charge of assault is made out in the
confuting aid locking him in a room. That is the assault.
There can be no reasonable doubt that the defendant and
the other man were acting in concert together. It is not
necessary to show who this man is, there being sufficient
evidenco of conspiracy to enable us to prefer a bill of
indictment for conspiracy, and to ask you to require
sure ties from the defendant to meet the charge.
The complainant was here called into court. He is a
young man cf mild and diffident aspect. On being sworn
he said—My name is William Kay, and I live at 36,
Hill-street, Berkeley-square. I came of age in 1854,
and 'was then entitled to considerable property. About
two years before I came of age I got acquainted with
the defendant. I gave him some bills, and after I came
of age some bonds. A decree has been obtained to set
ohem aside.
£Mr. Robinson called for the production of the decree.
Galworthy, solicitor, 12, Old Jewryachambers,
was co:led. He produced the original decree of the Court
of manohery, and read 'portions to the effect that a- cer-
tain bond assignment was to be delivered up and can-
celled ; that certain suites of apartments in Hill-street,
Paris, and a pi, "9 in the country, were to be given up to
their owner or °Yellers, together with the furniture ; that
an account of all sehnes of money paid by Johnston to a
person named Adam'• on behalf of the complainant, to-
gether with a sum of $9,0001. raised by the plaintiff and
handed over to Adams, be rendered, and an account
taken of them ; that all the securities held by certain
parties, together with a certain settlement of property,
were to be entirely void.
Mr. Kay's examination resumed—On Tuesday night;
the Bth of July, I was returning borne from the Wynd-
ham Club, when I was stopped by a man whom I never
saw before, who was dressed in a light opera cloak, with
the collar up, and who said to me, " Are you Mr. Kay?"
I said "Yes." He replied, "Then I arrest you fir
debt." I said, " What debt ?" He replied, "A debt of
your wife's," mentioning the sum, and naming the per-
son to whom it was owing. He said he had a writ and
a judgment against me, and must take me. The man
refused to allow me to go to my lawyer's. He asked
me where I preferred going to—a police office, the police
station, or a private house ? I said, " Let us go to a
private office." A cab was passing at the time. He
asked if I would cab it, or walk it ? I said I would
ride ; and we got into the cab, which drove to a house
that was strange to me, and which I afterwards found
out was No. 1, Park-street. I asked the man when we
were in the cab if I might write to my lawyer. He saido
"Yes ; and you will be at home in half-an-hour." I
was shown into the dining-room, where there were pens
and paper. The man lett the room, and I sat down to
write to my lawyer. While doing this the door opened,
and Johnston walked in. He said to me, after locking
the door and taking out the key, "I desired to have an
interview with you." I asked him if I might seed a
letter to my lawyer. He refused compliance, but Ido
not recollect his precise words. I told him I had been
arrested for a debt of my wife's. He said he did not
know anything about the debt. He admitted in the
course cf the evening that he had no other means
of obtaining an interview with me than by the mew a he
heel need. I said, "Am I here against my will ?" or
words to that effect, and I cannot recollect his answer.
I said, in answer to his question, lam in your power."
He then began to make certain statements against per-
sons interested for me, which I believed to be calumni-
ous. He spoke disrespectfully of my wife and some
friends. He wished me to refer the matters between us
to arbitration, and to set aside the judgment that had
been obtained. He mentioned the name of a person
to whom he wished the matter to be referred. I
did not agree to the offer. I said I would abide by
the determination at which the Court of Chancery
had arrived. He asked me if that was my decision,
or words to that effect. I said, " Yes." I believe
Johnston then left the room for a minute or two, and
I believe he unlocked the door, and he locked it out-
' side. I did not try if the door was locked. My belief
is that the door was locked. Johnston returned, and
when he shut the door I believe he locked it. He then
wished me to appoint a meeting, and he mentioned the
name of a person who had called at my lawyer's. I said
I wettid-make_no appointment, and ho then replied that
I had better go to bed. '
Mr. Beadon—Why were you to go to bed ?
Complainant—l was to stay in the house. I was not
to be allowed to go out.
Mr. Beadon—Did you ask Johnson if you might leave
the house ?
Complainant—l did; and I believe he said "You
shall stay here until you consent to do what I want
you to do." At first I said I would take a bed, but
Johnston did not press this upon me. When he found I
would not make an appointment, he asked me to write
and fix an appointment. I bad been in the house some
time then, and I said, "If you will let me go now I
will not mention anything that has occurred." He said
"I will not let you go until you give your word and ho-
nour tkat you will tell nothing that has occurred to-
night to anybody." I did make that promise, and also
that I would write to him. I was allowed to go home
after being detained in the house about three hours.
While I was in the house the defendant asked me to
have some brandy and water, but I refused, not being
thirsty. I was to *rite to the defendant, and direct to
the Army and Navy Club—he being a member, I be-
lieve.
Mr. Robinson having requested Mr. Kay to retire,
proceeded t, say that he hardly knew what course to
pursue, as the two charges of assault and conspiracy had
been mixed up tdgether. With regard to the assault,
he had to submit to the court that no coercion had been
used, and that no one laid hands on the complainant.
Mr. Beadon understood that the man who arrested
the complainont laid hands on his shoulder.
Mr. Kay was recalled. He said the man touched him
on the shoulder, but not Johnston.
Mr. Robinson said it was clear there was no touch-
ing by Johnston in any way ; the touching by the first
man was not touching by the second. The magistrate
would refuse to stretch the law to meet a case of this
kind merely because his learned friend had called it an
ostrageous assault.
Mr. Beadon—The lock was turned upon him.
Mr. Robinson—ls that an assault
Mr. Beadon—Oh, certainly. Imprisonment is am
assault.
Mr. Robinson—Looking at the extraordinary way in
which Kay has given his evidence, and recollecting that
he made no attempt to open the door, can it be said
there was imprisonment or assault
Mr. Beadon—No force of any kind appears to have
been put upon him. He seems to have gone willingly.
He appears to be a weak young man, for he does not
appear to have even attempted to assist himself in the
slightest degree. He chooses to go to a private house
instead of the station house, where he would have been
safe ; and when he gets to Johnston's house ho does not
attempt to rescue himself. No force is used.
Mr. Bodkin—Johnston said, "I shall not let you go
until you do what I want."
Mr. Beadon—The lock was turned. on him, and that
certainly is an assault. He did not know bow the
matter of the fictitious arrest might turn out. It would
be a very serious business if an illegal process bad been
resorted,to for ulterior objects. The young man appeared
tolhave gone quietly, and the question was, was this an
assault that required more than sureties to keep the
peace ? The question of conspiracy was an entirely
different case.
Mr. Robinson—lt was only a rase to procure an in-
terview.
Mr. Beadon—That interview might be to get rid of
the decree of the Court of Chancery.
Mr. Robinson—Mr. Say has not suggested that.
Mr. Beadon—No ; but he declared himself ready to
go to bed.
Mr. Robinson—You must recollect you are dealing
with a weak man.
Mr. Bodkin--Those are the very people the law pro-
tects.

TITAMES.—A woman, named. Thompson, stated to
Mr. Yardley that she purchased a quartern of flour of a
dealer in the neighbourhood of the Whitechapel-road, and
made two puddings of which her husband, herself, and
two children partook, and they were all attacked directly
afterwards with severe illness, and she was obliged to call
in medical assistance. liar youngest child, who had not
partaken of the puddings, was not ill. She had shown
the flour to a medical gentleman, who said it was adul-
terated, and such vile stuff that he would not swallow a
mouthful of it for ss. She had also, by the desire of an
officer of that court, taken the flour to Dr. Letheby, the
medical officer of the city of London, who said he had no
doubt it was bad, but declined to analyse it until he re-
ceived orders to do so from a magistrate.
Mr. Yardley would write a letter to Dr. Letheby re-
questing him to analyse the flour and report the result,
and, if necessary, proceedings should be taken to punish
the party who had sold the flour.
A police-constable said that several families, who had
partaken of dumplings and puddings made with flour
bought at the same shop had been attacked with illness.

EXTRAORDINARY CHA
IRA CY.RGE OF ASSAULT AND
CONSP

Robert Johnston, of the Army and Navy Club, and
29, Webb'a County-terrace, described as a gentleman,
was summoned before Mr. Beadon, at the Marlborough-
street police-court, charged with assaulting William
Kay, a gentleman of fortune, residing at No. 36, Hill-
street, Berkeley-square.
Mr. Bodkin was for the complainant; Mr. Robinson
for the defendant.
Mr. Bodkiu—Sir,—The defendant before you is
charged with the commission of an assault, and a-more
outrageous proceeding, I think, you will say was never
before heard of. The complainant has also a charge of
false imprisonment to prefer, and of conspiracy with an-
other person, not in custody.
Mr. Robinson—There is not the slightest suggestion
of conspiracy on the face of thesummons. The effect of
such imputations, if suffered to go forth, must be very
injurious.
Mr. Beadon—lf a person is summoned here for an as-
sault, in which a question of conspiracy is involved, there
is no reason why, under the summons, you should not
go into the felony.
Mr. Robinson—l think it is a good reason why the
alleged conspiracy should not be gone into, we being
here to answer a charge of assault.
Mr. Beadon—lt is a good reason forgiving you plenty
of time to answer the charge of conspiracy.
Mr. Robinson—This is one of the dangers of making
a statement in a police court. Such statements are often
made for a purpose, and as the party may not have an
opportunity of meeting the charge, a good deal of in-
justice is often done.
Mr. Beadon—Mr. Bodkin, I feel satisfied, would not
open a case and allege a charge of conspiracy without
being prepared, if necessary, to sustain it.
Mr. Bodkin—This case cannot be settled summarily. I
ask you to send the case to the Central Criminal Court.
Mr. Robinson—l came here to answer a charge of as-
sault, and Ido not think it fair that my client should
have to labour under a charge of conspiracy for two or
three weeks before he can disprove it.
Mr. Beadon—l suppose the assault arises out of the
conspiracy. Let us hear the facto.
Mr. Bodkin—Notwithstanding the peculiar circum-
stances of those who prefer the charge, it isnot their wish
to do otherwise than conduct thecase fairly towards the THE SOOTS FUSILIER. CrUA.RDS.--A splendid banquet
