Yesterday afternoon a numerous party of troops,
belonging to a variety of cavalry and infantry regi-

arrived at St. Mary's Barracks, Chatham, from
India, nearly the whole of them having completed
their term of service, and been sent home to be dis-
charged. The troops belong to nearly every regi-

2111 E 111URDER, AT STANFORD.

STAMFORD, THURSDAY.

This morning the prisoner, Henry Corby, charged
with the murder of Miss Elizabeth Puller, was
brought up before the local magistrates for further
examination. During the week which has elapsed
since the last hearing of this horrible case, the police
have been indefatigable in their efforts to connect
the chain of evidence against the accused, and with
what result appears below. The case continues to
excite the most intense interest, and the court was
again crowded.
Sarah "Wallace was the first witness examined—
She deposed to helpinc, the police in the examina-
tion of the deceased's body, and of the ashes in the
fire-place, and to finding a piece of string, the re-
mains of a basket, and a tooth, which were produced
in court.

Robert March and Frederick Tatem gave evi-
dence to the effect that they had seen the prisoner
with the desk, supposed to have been Miss Pulley's.
Police-constable Dalrymple I produce some
ashes found in the fire-grate of the prisoner's work-
shop, which I searched. Those ashes I delivered to
Superintendent Ward. On the prisoner's premises
I found a ladder lying across the saw-pit under the
workshop. That ladder I removed to the police-
station. I was present when certain marks on the
wall of Miss Pulley's back yard were measured by
Superintendent Ward. (Ladder produced, it was
about 14 feet in length.)
Sophia Wooll—l live in Peake's yard. We pass
Miss Pulley's back door• to get to our house. I saw
a ladder lying for three or four days under the rail-
way wall, near to the deceased's back door. The last
day that I saw the ladder there was Saturday, the
17th March. My attention was specially called to
the ladder from seeing some children playing with
it, and I asked a young man in the employ of Mr.
Barns (a neighbouring plumber), to take it away,
but he said it was not his.

John Hill gave similar evidence, and identified
the ladder.
William Pollard—On the 24th March I removed
the board which was burnt through, and over which
the body of Miss Pulley lay when she was found
dead. I cut it out from the floor, and now produce
it. (It was of oak and about an inch thick.) I have
examined some ashes (also produced) which were
found in the fire-place of the deceased's house. The
ashes in paper No. 1 are of deal ; those in paper No.
2 I believe to be of mahogany ; others in a box,
marked 3, are of oak. I searched the privy at-
tached' to the house of the deceased ; this was on the
24th March. On the surface of the soil in the vault
I found two towels, now produced. There was not
much soil in the vault. The towels were not di-
rectly under the hole in the seat, but rather for-
wards—one being more forward than the other.
One of the towels was marked with blood, which
was dark, but not moist. From the state of the
soil, I consider that the towels had been recently
thrown into the vault. There was recent soil upon
them, quite recent. The towels I locked up in the
washhouse, and they were afterwards delivered to
police-constable Dalrymple. (The towels were of a
coarse description, apparently for common kitchen
use.) On removing the board near the hearth-stone,
I took up the ashes which had fallen through the
burnt hole. I searched for a ring, but found none.
produce the ashes, amongst them are some small
pieces of turf. On searching the privy I found two
finger bones in the vault, they were burnt to a
cinder.

Superintendent Ward—On the 24th March I saw
the ladder produced on the premises of the prisoner:
On the following day (Sunday) I examined the wall
on Miss Pulley's premises, in which is a door leading
from the back lane into the garden. This wall joins
and runs at right angles to the railway. Thisgarden
wall is 11 feet 6 inches high. It has a coping stone 20
inches wide. The coping is of a soft stone, and in-
clines out wards towards the lane. On the outer edge
of the coping stone, next the lane, immediately over
the door, I noticed that the weather-beaten surface
had been rubbed offin two places about 11 or 12 inches
apart. Since that I have compared those marks on
the wall with the ladder produced. Wheu the foot
of the ladder was 3 feet 9 inches from the base of
the wall, and the ladder was inclined to the wall,
the sides of the ladder fitted the marks exactly.
The mark on the north side was wider than the
other. I found that the wide side of the latter cor-
responded with the wider mark and the narrow
side with the narrower mark. There were no im-
pressions of the ladder visible, it is hard beaten
ground. I noticed a small quantity of gravel lying
on the flat side of the coping stone, and on the
inner edge next the garden there was a small per.
tion of dirt adhering to and hanging over, as if
scraped from something. I examined the gravel
and found it to be of the same kind as that compos-
ing the walk leading from the garden door to the
house of the deceased. I produce a box of ashes
and papers, Nos. 1 and 2. The ashes I received
from Police-constable Dalrymple. I did not ob-
serve any ladder marks on the inner side of the
garden wall or in the garden. In the course of an
examination of the garden I found a halfpenny at
the upper end on the grass. Near to the spot where
I picked up the halfpenny I observed on a flower-
bed an impression of a nailed boot or shoe.
Other evidence was given, to the effect that the
prisoner, who had been in debt' for small amounts
previous to the murder, had discharged them soon
after, and had appeared flush of cash.
Application was then made for a further remand,
an intimation being given to the Bench that fur-
ther evidence of an important character would be
then adduced.

The prisoner was remanded until Thursday next.

SUPPOSED DOUBLE MURDER NEAR

111ANCILLAS'TER.

Early yesterday morning information reached
the police-station at Pendlebury, near Manchester,
that an old man named Scholes' hnd his son, who
lived at Irlarns-o'-th'-Height, had been found dead
in their cottage under circumstances leading to the
belief that a fearful and mysterious crime had
been committed. Sergeant Lee, of Pendlebury,
arrived at the house at 7 o'clock, and Mr. I3irks,
Mr. Booth, and Mr. Ashburner, surgeons of the
neighbourhood, were in attendance about the same
hour. It appeared that the elder of the deceased,
William Scholes, aged about 75, was a man living
on a small independent income in one of three cot-
tages situated at the junction of the Swinton and
Pendlebury roads. The other victim, 'William Ed-
ward Scl.oles, was about 41 years of age. Another
son, Joseph Scholes, works at the printing-office of
Alessrs. Bradshaw and Blacklock, at Manchester.
The two sons slept together in one bedroom, the
'
father occupied anotl-er and a daughter, arah
Eliza Scholes, had a third. The only account of
the discovery that has yet been obtained was given
by Joseph Scholes to Sergeant Lee. His statement
is to the effect that on the previous day he left home
for his work after dining comfortably with the
family about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. On his
way back in the evening he was seized with a fit
while passing through Salford, and taken up by the
police, who supposed he was drunk. At the Salford
police-station, it became apparent that he was suf-
fering from an infirmity, and he was liberated. On
reaching home about 9 o'clock he found no one
downstairs, but heard his sister moving in her room
overhead, and
afintsd, making a noise which was habitual
with her. The surgeons are informed that she is
bed, and durinfannds
bedroom door was locked. Joseph Scholes went to

sister was removed in custody to the Salford work-
house.

A coroner's inquest was opened yesterday after-
noon, and Joseph Scholes gave his account of the
matter clearly and satisfactorily enough. The im-
pression is that the infirm sister committed the
murder.

POL.? CB IN TR I IMENCE-A pril 12.

MANSION -HOUSE.--An eccentric-looking
middle-aged man, eyidently belonging to that ex-
tensive class of "seedy respectables" who have seen
better days, was charged with breaking a square
of glass, value 2i., belonging to the Corporation of
the City of London.
Mr. Gooarnan (chief clerk).—l see by the charge-
sheet that you have refused to give your name—do
you still refuse !

Prisoner.—Well, yes—l'd rather not, if it's all
the same.

Police-constable 367.—Herc is a packet of letters
which I-took from him.

Sir It. Carden.—Hand it up, I dare say we shall
find his name there.

Prisoner.—Well, now mind, I do not want to give
offence ; but understand, I do not want my name
to be exposed, and I should not have had those
letters in my pocket if I had had any idea that
they would have been taken from me.
Sir R. Carden—Oh, I see your name is ---,
is it not ?

Prisoner—Well, yes it is, but you see I do not
want my name to get into the papers.
Sir R. Carden—Those who commit offences must
take their chances of that. Go on, officer.
Police constable 367—Yesterday afternoon after
the business of the court was over I saw the prisoner
standing outside the Mansion-house, and asked him
what he wanted. He replied, to see the magistrate,
and I told him it was too late for that, upon which
he immediately smashed a square of glass in one of
the windows, and I took him into custody.
Sir It. Carden—How could a man like you do
such a stupid act as that P
Prisoner—Well, you see, what was Itodo ? I
was quite destitute. I had neither food nor shelter.
Sir It. Carden—You might have got both by
going to the union, and now you will have to go to
prison.
Prisoner (in a cheerful tone)--Well, I would
rather go to prison than go to the workhouse.
Sir lt. Carden— Oh, you would, would you ?
Prisoner—Yes, I would, indeed. You know there
is no accounting for tastes.

Sir R. Carden—You must be aware, as a man of
education, that it was very wrong to injure the pro-
perty of others..
Prisoner (with a sigh)—Well, yes ; it was very
wrong, I admit; but (brightening up a little) I dare
say I shall pay for it soma day—that is, if I live
long enough.
Sir R. Carden—You will have to pay for it now
or go to prison. You ought not to have broken it.
Prisoner—Well, now what was I to do ? Yes-
terday I had nothing to break my fast. On Tues-
day I only had some potatoes that I picked up in
the street, and half of them I gave to my dog before
I hanged hi:xi, and on Monday I had nothing but a
pipe of tobacco.
Sir R. Carden—All that does not justify your
breaking the window. I suppose your object was
to excite sympathy ?
Prisoner—Well, yes,
it was.
Sir R. Carden—Then I think you are likely to be
disappointed.
Prisoner—Oh, I do not mean that I expected to
get anything here ; but I thought that if the case got
into the newspapers, some eccentric individual—
like myself, for instance—would take pity on me,
and provide me with the means of getting a liveli-
hood.
Sir R. Carden—Well, you must pay 25., or go to
prison for three days.
Prisoner—Oh, if you send me at all, I hope you
will send me for a longer time than that.
Sir R. Carden—
Why do you wish so ?
Prisoner—Why, what can I do when I come out ?
I am afraid I must do the same again.
Sir R. Carden—Then you must be prepared to
take the consequences.
Prisoner—l suppose I must. However, I hope my
name will not get into the papers, as it may injure
me hereafter; for (hopefully) perhaps 1 may return
to my own profession by and by. .
The prisoner, who was understood to have be-
longed to a scholastic profession, was then removed.
Elizabeth Fasselow, aged 7 years, was again
brought up by a policeman, who had found her
wandering about the City in a destitute condition.
She had been similarly charged last Saturday,
when it was proved that she was taken to the City
of London Union at 4 o'clock in the morning, and
refused admittance by the relieving officer, who, in
c 3urt, said his object was to frighten her by having
her locked up, so as to prevent her coming into the
City in future. The Lord Mayor, however, with
much warmth, reprimanded this official, and ordered
that the child should be taken to the union, leaving
the guardians to seek their remedy against the
father, a labouring man, resident in Lambeth.

The relieving officer was again in attondance, as
was also Mr. Bowring, clerk to the City of London
Union, to watch the case.

It was stated that the child was carefully sent
home to her father by the union officials ; and a re-
spectably-dressed woman said she knew the father
well, and for some years had helped to take care of
the child (whose mother was dead), but that the
girl, young as she was, was continually running
away from home, and could nut be kept under any
sort of restraint. _ _

The Lord Mayor said all that might be, but what
was to be done with a child of such tender age ?
Surely the union might take care of her, and charge
her father with the expense. However, it was cer-
tainly wrong in the relieving officer to refuse to
receive her into the City of London Union.
Mr. Bowring—Since your lordship again refers
to that, allow me to say that he acted under my
instructions.

The Lord Mayor—Then they were very bad in-
structions, sir.
Mr. Bowring—lt is a course we were compelled
to take by the frequency of her appearance among us.
The Lord Mayor (peremptorily)—I want to hear
no more from you, sir.
Mr. Bowring—l think your lordship might act
with courtesy to one who is here as a public officer.
The Lord Mayor—Hold your tongue, sir, if you
please. I don't wish to hear another word from you
on the subject. So be silent.
Mr. BosNring—l shall not be silent. I have a
right to speak.
The Lord Mayor—l tell you again, sir, that no-
thing can justify the conduct of roar relieving
officer in turning that little child away from the
union to wander about the streets at four o'clock in
the morning.
Alr.
g—Your lordship is wrong there.
You io r B
thateOrrin
she was in charge of a policeman
g at the time, and our officer is bound to obey his in•
structions as the City officers are bound to obey
theirs. _ _

The Lord Mayor—l don't wish to hear any more
from you. Take the child to her union.
Mr. Bowring—Then she must go to Lambeth.
The Lord Mayor—Then, sir, send an officer with
her there.

Mr. Bowring—No, let one of the City officers
take her. This is their charge now, and we have
nothing to do with it._

The Lord Mayor—Your conduct does you very
ittic credit, sir.

Mr. Bowring—That may be your lordship's opi-
nion, but other people may judge differently.
The contest of tongues then ceased, and the child
was sent home to her father.

GUILD H ALL—AN ADMITTED BETTING HOUSE.
—Mr. Benjamin Jones, the proprietor of an Alton
ale-house, on Snowhill, was charged before Alder-
man Hale with assaulting the police i❑ the execu•
lion of their duty,

Mr. Humphreys, jun., appeared for the defence.
Policeman Mobbs,26s, said he was on special duty
to prevent obstruction on Snowhill, and to report
any disorderly conduct that might occur in the
licensed houses in the neighbourhood. He saw a
number of persons standing in front of the defen-
dant's house, and their betting-books in their hands,
and upon seeing him approach they immediately
entered defendant's house, Witness looked in, and
saw the front of the bar crowded to excess with per-
sons who were all engaged with their books, and no
refreshment appeared to have been served to any of
them. A person, who said he was Mr. Jones, told
witness to go away, or he would put him away, and
soon afterwards the defendant came out and said,
" What are you fellows (the officers) doing here ?
You are injuring my business; for no one will come
in while you are at the door." The defendant also
threatened to "smash his arm with a stick, or knock
his brains out, if he looked in again." Several men
shorly after entered the house with betting-books
in their hands, and witness again opened the door
to see if ally betting transitions were taking place, '
when the defendant struck at him with a stick, and
afterwards struck him with his left hand on the
breast, seized him by the coat, and tried to drag
him into the house, and was only prevented by wit-
ness dragging him out, and taking him into cus-
tody for the assault.
Cross-examined—lle was only a quarter of an hour
or 20 minutes, watching the defendant's house. It
was not an, hour and a half. He did not prevent
customers from entering the house. He saw a female
datid not
onedkonoro,w she apparentlywas
defendant's watching the
idfoo. u
or,bvutwhe
a:
obliged to throttle the defendant to make him re-

lease his hold of his coat. There was no noise or con-
fu-ion, es the parties were all engaged in betting.
Police-constable Dailey, 89, corroborated the evi-
dence of Mobbs 1 1 all save oue particular. He said
he did see two glasses of ale on the counter, as if
some of the company were having refreshment.
Mr. Humphreys, for the defence, stigmatised the
complaint as one of the most summary character that
a magistrate had ever been troubled with. It was
quite clear, whatever the instructions Mobbs the
policeman had received, that he had exceeded his
duty in the manner in which he had carried them
out. There was not a more respectable hotly of
men in existence to be found than the London
police, but unfortunately there were a class of per-
sons who felt that the only way to perform the duties
assigned them was by irritating and exciting every '
one with whom they came in contact, and Mobbs
appeared to belong to that class. Mr. Jones was a
very respectable man. He had kept this house for
nearly a dozen years, and this was the first com-
plaint that had ever been brought against him. lie
was ready to admit that his was a betting house,
inasmuch as be executed commissions in betting
and racing matters, and advertised himself es a
commission agent for such affairs; but there was
nothing illegal in that. A man was perfectly jus-
tified in pursuing such a line of business as long
as he did not infringe the law, and the defendant
had not rendered himself in any way amenable.
In this particular instance the policeman Mobbs
was hovering about the house for about an hour
and a half, poking his head in at the doOr
occasionally, by which means customers were
deterred from entering the house. Mrs.
Jones remonstrated with Mobbs, and nately
called down her husband, who was ill in bed, to re-
move the officer from the door. The defendant
accordingly expostulated with him, but he totally
denied having used a stick or striking Mobbs. He
merely pushed him from the door, and there were
several gentlemen present who would depose to the
annoying manner in which the constable was dodg-
ing about the house all the morning, as well as to
the brutality with which he dragged Mr. Jones out
of his house to the police-station on this charge, in
consequence of which violence Mrs. Jones, who was
in an advanced state of pregnancy, had been thrown
upon a sick bed, and it was impossible to say what
might be the result.

Alderman Hale said what Mr. Humphreys had
said was mere statement against evidence upon oath.
From the defendant's advertisement as a betting
agent, it was apparent to the officer that betting
transactions were carried on in the house, and that
was something like a good reason for watching the
house. He did not mean to say Mobbs had exceeded
his duty in this instance, but he thought that as the
defendant had been locked up, and put to much
trouble and expense in attending this court, that a
fine of ss, would meet the case.

After some demur the fine was paid, and all par
ties left the court mutually dissatisfied.

REV. C.II. SPURGEON' ON THE SOCIAL

EVIL.

Yesterday morning the 'Rev. C. 11. Spurgeon
preached a sermon, on behalf of the Society for the
Rescue of Young Women and Children, at the Rev.
W. Brock's chapel, Bloomsbury-street, New Oxford-
street. - The attendance was large. The rev. gen-
tleman selected for his text John viii. 10, 11,
" When Jesus had lifted up Himself, and saw none
but the woman, He said unto her, Woman, where
are those thine accusers ? Hath no man condemned
thee 9' She said,' No man, Lord.' And Jesus said
unto her, ' Neither do I condemn thee ; go and sin
no more.'" After a few introductory remarks, Mr.
Spurgeon directed the attention of the congrega-
tion, first, to Jesus Christ's estimate of this poor wo-
man's sins. Her's was adultery, which was usually
set at the head of all those crimes which might be
gathered up under the terns of licentiousness and
lasciviousness. The Lord's estimate of that sin was
not to be viewed as light because he said" Neither
do I condemn thee." He came not into the world to
judge, and therefore in what He said to her He was
only trying to direct her thoughts to Him who was
able to save her to the uttermost. Were the Lord
among them that day He would tell them what He
thought of fornication ; He would describe its
filthiness and its terrible consequences in this
world and also in the world to come in
a way that would chill their very brain ; He
would tell them that the sin lay not only in
the deed but in thought ; he that looked on
a woman to lust after her already committed
adultery. But if any of their fallen sisters were
there, let him (Mr. Spurgeon) say that he spoke not
only unto them, but also to their fallen brothers
who were received into society instead of being
scouted. When they went to their lascivious beds
let them think they would one day make their bed
in hell. They went to their sins thinking they
were sowing the wind ; but they would reap the
hurricane which would tear them to pieces. The
sin of which he was speaking was one of the vilest
of the vile, and no apology could be offered for it.
He would not enter into the details of its special
wretchedness, as it was sufficient to say that God
had put His stamp on it. It was like pain, it bore
its sure mark on its victims. God would not have
appointed such terrible consequences to a sin that
was not very heinous. No rotten bones, no foul
diseases, no delirium, and many other calamities
would have been connected with it if God did not
hate it. But the second part of his subject was far
more interesting than the first—Jesus Christ's
method of bringing these poor wanderers in. He
did not condemn them, but said, Go and sin no
more. The reason He did this was because the con-
demnation against this sin had had but a feeble
effect. Moses decreed stoning; but how ineffectual
it was, seeing that a whole host of Pharisees in-
dulged in it. The penalty had evidently failed to
produce the desired effect, This one instance might
be confirmed by all history. When any very strin-
gent law was made against a crime, they had gene-
rally seen that that very crime increased. Forgery,
horse-stealing, Szc., were far more rampant when
punished by execution than they were in their own
day. Mere punishment, mere law and terror had
always failed in subduing the wickedness of the
human heart. Certainly he did not deny that it
had had a slight check on wickedness, but at the
same time the thing had been a defeat and not a
conquest. The conduct of the Lord was right to-
wards the woman, because unless they were pre-
pared to say that Jesus Christ's nature was a mis-
taken one they could not say He was mistaken
in this act. But he (Mr. Spurgeon) did not
see how Christ could have condemned the woman.
There were two taken found committing adultery,
and only one of the guilty persons brought before
Him. If she had been before any judge, surely he
would have said, " Bring the other also." And
when they saw the Christian Church acting as a
mighty nation,looking down on the fallen daughters
of Eve, did they not all say, " Why does she not do
so to the men ?'' because they were the ringleaders
in sin—they first pulled their daughters from the
stars and hurled them down to the depths of miry
clay. Many men who were reeking in filthiness were
allowed to mingle with the church; but the poor
f 'lien woman was looked &mu on and despised. A
Christian minister might walk with a man who was
said to be a "little too fast," and nothing was said;
but if he was seen talking with a poor fallen woman,
endeavouring to rescue her from her evil life," she
was not called " fast," but something worse, and
some ill intention set down to the credit of the
minister. What, lie asked, was the difference ? He
could not see. lie felt if he went on he should con-
demn the men for their sin. It was but the other
evening, when coming out of a crowded meeting,
lie saw a young lady accosted by a respectably-
dressed gentleman, who began speaking to her.
His feelings were roused, and he Is ished he could
have knocked the man down. (A slight titter.) Had
it been done to sonic poor woman, he might have
offered up a prayer for her, but to see a man doing
such an act to a respectable girl—a man who would
go home to his family, go on 'Change, and pretend
to be a gentleman—was more than he could bear.
If Ile was rather strong in his feelings he could not
help it, for he could not see why the sin of the
man should be slurred over, and that of the woman
brought forth. He wanted, lastly, to tell them
what they could do towards following out the ex-
ample indicated in the text. They had been
putting far away from them those who had been
tainted with this sin, and the effects of it might
be seen every day and every night. They had
thrust them out from every village and city,
from every home of example, from every association
that might lift them heavenward ; and where were
they now ? They woke up all of a sudden, and
cried out against the great Social Evil, which they
had helped through their apathy to create. What,
then, were they to do to put a stop to it? Now
that the law had proved a failure, let them try what
the Gospel could do. The Society for the Rescue
of Young Women and Children was doing great
good by the holding of midnight meetings. At
the Southwark meeting he believed upwards of 26
fallen women were taken to the Refuge. The so-
ciety to which he had referred had undertaken not
only the task of rescuing those women, but of feed-
ing them; but their funds were exhausted. Through
the midnight meetings they had received so many
that thy required over £lO.O per day to support
them. After they had been in the society for some
time, they were sent as servants where they were
not known, where they could regain their charac-
ters and begin the world again. if there Were any
who could refuse to contribute on that morning to
such a benevolent object, he did not eavy them.
He trusted, however, there would be very few such
but that all would give to the utmost of their power,
that they might house the poor creatures Who were
willing to flee to.the ark. of refuge to escape from
their evil ways.
