THE LIMEHOUSE TRAGEDY.

--- - -

THE VERDICT.
The jury retired at twenty minutes past five
o'clock to consider their verdict.
They returned into court at twelve minutes past
eight o'clock. Prisoner, looking deadly pale, was
then replaced at the dock.
The Clerk of Arraigns (to the jury)—Do you
find the prisoner at the bar guilty or not guilty ?
The Foreman —We find the prisoner guilty. The
jury strongly recommend him to mercy, on the
ground that the crime was not premeditated.
The prisoner was then asked in the usual manner if
he had anything to say why sentence of death should
not be passed upon him.
Prisoner, speaking warmly and with much excite-
ment—l can say, sir, that lam entirely innocent
of the charge of the murder of Agnes Oakes. I
never raised band or finger against her, no more
than when she was cutting my throat. I put up my
hand, and got my thumb cut. I got up, and on
going out of the room I saw something white, and
took it up, and put it to my throat. It was her

drawers, and they are covered with blood. I went
and told my mother. When I went back blood was
coming out of her windpipe. I stopped there
some time, and that is how the blood came about
my stocking feet. I then put my shoes on,
and went out into the street. The witness Dunn
was looking out of the window. lie came in,
and went upstairs. Deceased was not laid out
on the hearthrug, but was laid with her back
against the wall, and her head ; as blood came
from her so came her body down. That was the
position as I went out of the room, and that was
why I left her. Her head was on the side of the
chair, and she was sitting on her bottom. There
was no pillow on the floor, on my solemn oath.
There was nothing but the rough jacket, and that
lay on the hearthrug. That was when she got out
of bed and asked me to forgive her. I can be on
my oath further, murder was not done. She has
done a good deal. She has sold everything she
could lay finger on. I said I would not forgive her,
and she said do. As for lifting hand against her I
never did ; and I can take a solemn oath I never
had a knife in my hand until after the murder. I
then said, " 0 mother, here is a knife." I can take
my solemn oath, if I die to-morrow, I am not guilty
of the murder of Agnes Oakes.

Proclamation of silence having been made,
His Lordship put on the black cap, and proceeded
to pass sentence of death. He said—The jury have
heard in substance the same statement as you have
now made. They have bestowed upon it, together
with the other evidence in the case, the most patient
and careful consideration ; and after weighing, as I
am sure they have done, all the circumstances, they
have come to the conclusion that you are guilty of
the murder of that woman. I must say that I
agree with them in that verdict. They have
accompanied their verdict with a recommendation
to mercy, and I shall forward that to the
proper quarter. That being the case I shall
merely perform the duty which the law im-
poses on me, and that is to pass sentence of
death. His lordship then pronounced the doom
prescribed by law, and added, " May the Lord have
mercy upon you."
Prisoner (as he was removed from the dock)—My
lord, if I should so die I shall die innocent.
Although the verdict announced by the jury was
not unexpected in court, and did not create surprise,
there was a profound sensation felt by all present as
the wretched culprit stood forward to hpar judgment
passed upon him. During the trial he had mani-
fested no emotion, but while the jury were absent
he reclined in the dock, and appeared to be suffer-
ing great anguish. As he stood in front of the
dock and made his rambling statements he was ex-
ceedingly pallid, while nervous twitchings of his
mouth showed how keenly he felt the terrors of his
awful fate. At the same time, his was not a case to
excite compassion, and there were few or no signs
of commiseration for or sympathy with the convict.
As the first words of the sentence wore being pro-
nounced some persons in the gallery left their seats,
and went or were conducted out of court. It was
understood that the father and mother were present
during the trial, and it was believed they would be
called as witnesses for the defence. The probability,
therefore, is that one or both of them felt overcome
on hearing the verdict, and could not remain to
learn the sentence passed upon their son.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKE2—This Day.

Sales probably 10,000 bales. Market quiet and
unchanged.

ACCIDENT TO MR. I3ENTLEY.—An ;accident oc-
curred to Mr. Bentley, the publisher, on Saturday last, at
Chepstow station, on his return from Tenby with his wifo.
Just as the uptrain was in sight of the station, in hurry-
ing after his luggage, he fell over the platform with great
violence. It was only by his being dragged off the rail,
whore ho lay motionless, that he escaped instant destruc-
tion. lie was conveyed back to the Beaufort Arms by Mr.
Watkins and Mr. White, under whose skill the fractured
thigh is progressing faYOUrably.

MARKE TS. --This day.

MARK LANE.

There was only a moderate supply of English wheat on
sale hero to-day. For most kinds the demand ruled in-
active ; nevertheless, Monday's quotations were supported
The imports of foreign wheat having boon moderately
good the show of samples was tolerably extensive. Both
red and white qualities changed hands slowly, but at full
prices.

Floating cargoes of grain wore held on former terms.
Tho inquiry for thorn, however, was by no means active.
The supply of both English and foreign barley was
limited, and sales progressed steadily, at extreme rates.
We have no change to notice in the value of malt. The
supply was only moderate.
There was a fair sale for oats, at prices equal to Monday.
Both beans and peas, owing to their scarcity, wore held
for rather more money.
The flour trade was quiet.
In floods very little was passing.
