THE LATE COMMITTAL OF A "SOLICITOR.

To-morrow a committee of the Common Council, upon
the suit of Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, sit to inquire
into the state of the Court, It is the general opinion
that some personal feeling has been exhibited in the
presentation of this petition. Mr. Lewis was, it will
be remembered, committed for contempt of court, and
his honour being authorised by the Act of Patliament
is not called upon to notice the proceedings of the com-
mittee. The committee sit with closed doors, but from
what can be gleaned, they appear to think that hit
honour was justified.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE MURDER IN TEE HATILARKET.—GIOVanni
who stands committed on the charge of murdering
Heloise Thaubin, of Arundel-court, Haymarket, was
brought up this morning by Sergeant Bradgid,
placed at the bar before Mr. Beadon, for the purpose of
hearing the depositions read over, and for some addi-
tional evidence to be given.

The watch and ring belonging to the deceased having
been produced by Inspector Parke,

Virginie Sylvestre was called and said—l knew the
watch and ring produced very well. The watch was
worn by the deceased on the evening previous. They
both belonged to the deceased.
Sergeant Huggett, of the City Police Force, said-1
accompanied Inspector Parke on board the Pride of the
Thames, on Saturday, Feb. 27. The prisoner was on
board. We went to his berth When the prisoner's box
was opened a bag was on the top. I afterwards took
the prisoner ashore, as the captain was not on board.
The shirt produced was taken out of the prisoner's port-
manteau, which I had seen in his cabin. Found on the
prisoner a receipt.

Mr. Leadley (the clerk) —lt is a passage to
Monte Video, and is signed Howden and Co., of
Birchin-lane.

Haggett—lt is so.

G. Hill said—The prisoner brought to my employer,
Mr. Bryer, of Barbican, gold refiner, the ring and watch
produced. I bought them of him on Wednesday the
24th of February. I gave 'as. for the watch and is.
for the ring. I spoke to him in German, but he did not
understand me. I first offered 255. for the watch, and
he went away, but afterwards returned, and, then, I
gave him 30s. He then offered the ring, which I gave
8.. for. Having read on the Sunday a description of the
watch, I came forward and gave information.

The prisoner came on the Bth of February. He resided
there till the 23d, on which night he slept out. Hs
returned on the Wednesday at 4 o'clock. He came in
holding a handkerchief to his face. I said, " What is
the matter. He said a cat had scratched his face. I
said, " This is not the scratch of a eat, but a human
cat." (The prisoner laughed at this portion of
the evidence.) The prisoner said, "No,"
but afterwards nodded assent. He then
fetched his portmanteau and left in a cab. The shirt
produced I know to be the prisoner's, and the blood
stains were on it when he came in. From what I heard
I communicated with the police.

Mr. Frederick Tothill, of Charles-Areet, St. James's•
square, aurgcon, said the stains on the shirt were blood
and mucous, similar to that which he had found on
examining the body of deceased as having flowed from
her mouth and nostrils.

After the above evidence had been given the deposi-
tions were read over by Mr. Leadley, the clerk, and
Mr. Beadon asked the prisoner whether he had any-
thing to say.
The prisoner said he had nothing to remark. He raid
the watch was sold in the evening, and not in the
morning.

The witnesses then Laving been bound over, the pri-
soner was fully conamitted to Newgate for trial.
The prisoner, during the time he was in the cell, and
before being brought up, treated the matter very lightly.
