THE LEEDS ELOPEMENT CASE.

At the Leeds Town Hall, on Monday, Thomas
Balmforth underwent a further examination before
Ralph Markland, Esq., Joseph Bateson, Esq., and
Thomas Tennant, Esq., on the charge of eloping
with Helen Barker, the wife of William Barker,
shopkeeper, Hunslet, and stealing £lOO in Bank of
England £5 notes, and other property ; and his
brother, Benjamin Balmforth, was also up on re•
mand from Hull, charged with receiving £9O of the
said money, knowing it to have been stolen. It
will be remembered that Mrs. Barker, on leaving
her husband with the first prisoner, took away £lOO
in £5 Bank of England notes, besides clothing and
other property, and she stated on Monday that, on
the Wednesday after their arrival in Hull, they
went to the Moulders' Arms, kept by a Mr. Ripley,
the brother-in-law of Benjamin Balmforth, and that
whilst there she gave Ripley the £lOO to take care
of, but whether Thomas Balmforth saw her do so or
not she could not say. She afterwards drew £lO,
leaving £9O in the hands of Ripley, when she was
brought to Leeds by the police. The day on which
the first examination in Leeds took place she saw
Ripley and Benjamin Balmforth together in front
of the Town Hall, and she then asked if Ripley
had brought the money. He replied that he had
not, but that it was all safe, and she rejoined by
saying it must remain where it was. It also ap-
peared that while Thomas Balmforth was in the
dock at the Town Hall, the chief constable allowed
his brother Benjamin to go and sit beside him, and
that the latter accompanied his brother in a cab to
the gaol, along with Mr. Clapham, the keeper of
the lock-up. Nothing was noticed to transpire be-
tween the parties, but on the following morning
Benjamin went to Hull, and on the same day he
went to a beer-shop kept by a man named Thomp-
son, in West-street, and began to boast that he had
got the money which Mrs. Barker had taken from
her husband, and at the same time showing a bundle
of notes and some gold. This came to the ears of
the police, and Sergeant Hobson, attended by Pri-
vate Thompson, proceedea to the house, the ser-
geant watching one door whilst Thompson went in
at another. As soon as Balmforth saw the police-
officer he rushed out, and the two gave chase.
After a sharp run of about 50 yards Thompson came
up to him, upon which Balmforth pulled out a roll
of notes from his waistcoat, and attempted to de-
stroy them by putting them into his mouth. He
was prevented, and the notes, to the number of 14,
were taken from him. At the stationhouse he was
further searched, when another note, £l4 in gold,
21s. in silver, and 6d. in copper were found upon
him. To Hobson he said his brother had given
him the notes, but to Inspector Grace he said that
his niece told him that the money was at his sis-
ter's, and he went to get it to keep the family.
Twelve of the notes produced were identified by
Mrs. Barker as part of those taken from her hus-
band, and left_ by her at Ripley's. They were
endorsed by her with the date and the name oAfftrhs.
persons from whom they had been received.
Barker also stated that she had not autm

rised any

Ripley.

submitted
that there was quite sufficient a remand,
and the bench taking the same view of the case,
both the prisoners were remanded to Wednesday,
when Ripley will be summoned to appear. Bail
was refused..

A PROPIIECY.—An old Woman of Luc-snr-Mer
(Calvidos), who pretends to be a weather prophet, has
caused the following to be published :—" Between Christ-
mas-day and the sth January, both inclusive, there are
twelve days, and they are the prediction, or, se to speak,
the exact photography of the twelve months of the new
year. What the weather was on Christmas-day will be
that of the month of January, and the weather of the 26th
will be that of February, and so on up to the end of Decem-
ber. The last seven days of December, 1859, and the first
three of January, 1860, were remarkable for heavy rain,
and consequently in the nine months:of the present year
which have passed away there will have been almost con-
tinual rains, and the same will be the case in'October ; but
on the 4th and sth January there was no rain, and conse-
quently the sun will shine gloriously in November and
December."

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills—
Female Complaints.—The disorders peculiar to woman are
the most delicate and difficult to be conducted to favourable
terminations. Upon their early and judicious treatment
hangs the momentous question whether woman enjoy
strength, soundness, and cheerfulness, or pine away in
weakness, disease, and misery. Holloway's inestimable
preparations are the most reliable remedies for restoring
weakened or suspended functions. The ointment should
be rubbed on the back and stomach for at least ten minutes
every night and morning till restoration take place and per-
fect functional regularity bo induced. While thus using
the ointment Holloway's pills should be freely taken, in
order to purify the blood and cleanse the system, by which
natural process all ebetructious will In readily rowed, ,
