Hall:was a week's black list, a week's water grog,
and confined to the ship. Lieut. Hall inflicted the
punishment on Sunday, the 14th of November, and
the captain remitted it on the 16th.
Captain Storey, the prosecutor, was then ex-
amined in support of the charges. The prisoner
put various questions to him.
Henry Scottman, master-at-arms—The signal-
man ordered, me on deck .by authority of Lieut.
Hall, when I was told to double the quartermaster's
punishment. The punishment first ordered was
10 days' leave to be stopped. When it was ordered
to be doubled the figure 1 was made into a 2. That
punishment was remitted the same day. I was
mustered, with the other petty officers, the day
after the last court-martial, and was asked by the
captain whether I had any complaints to make.
The entry in the defaulters' book with reference to
Le Maitre was made in the evening of the 6th, as
near as I can recollect. I laid the defaulters' book
before the captain just before the first court-martial.
William Lindopp
Lieut. Hall came on boaqi
the Russell on the night of the 22d of August in
ilnladm:pemttismarine—l was sentry on board
Plymouth Sound. It was a calm moonlight night.
He went below and gave orders about the morning
watch. He came up again five or six minutes
.udabrteetzeanstlerl
and
dtlh2eow,caloctekh..
after, and went to the quartermaster on the port
side of the gangway and said, " I do not think you
know the order I gave you ; repeat it over to me ;"
which was done. Lieut. Hall said, " I have been
watching your movements for a long time ; you had
better mind what you are about ;" shook his fist in
his face at the same time, followed him from one
side of the bridge to the other, and asked who had
the morning watch. Lindopp answered that Monk,
the captain of the foretop, had it. In answer to
Lieut. Hall's inquiry why Monk had it, Lindopp
said the quartermaster had gone on leave. Lieut.
Hall then sent for the master-at-arms. I did not
hear what passed between them. The quartermas-
ter did not give him any provocation to shake his
fist in his face. The night was sufficiently still
and clear for me to see and hear all that took place.
The first lieutenant appeared to be very wild at
him. I was on the bridge, close to the mizenmast;
She scene took place on the portsiae of the gang-
way, abreast the mainmast. Lieutenant Hall
raised his voice and spoke loudly ; he followed
behind him and shook his finger ; it was in the
manner of trying to frighten him, not to stae
him or push him. I did not hear the first order to
the quartermaster. I can't tell the reason Lieut.
Hall shook his finger at him. The quartermaster
was not disrespectful to him. I know the orders
were about the morning watch by the way in which
they were given.
Two other witnesses were then examined in sup-
port of the fifth charge.
George Washington Jones, clerk—l was walking
on the starboard side of the deck ; my attention
was called to an altercation between Lieutenant
Hall and Lindopp, namely, by Lieutenant Hall
ordering Lindopp on the bridge, and shaking his
finger at him, and following him the greater part
of the way there. `I do not know from .my own
knowledge whether it was Lindopp's watch, or
whether he was looking out for another man while
that man was getting his grog.
John Marks, quartermaster of the Russell—Re-
lieved by Lindopp on the 13th of October at noon
to get my grog. He was looking out for me six or
seven minutes. When he relieved me he was
standing at the port gangway. When I relieved
him he was standing on the bridge.
George Washington Jones—When I heard
Lieutenant Hall use harsh and overbearing lan-
guage, and saw him follow Lindopp to the bridge,
shaking his finger at him, I did not hear any pro-
vocation whatever. I heard nothing but Limit
Hall speaking in a loud voice,

During-the dense fog on Monday evening at
Portsmouth, her Majesty's screw tender Fairy was
obliged to land Capt.- the lion. Joseph Denman,
from Osborne, at Stokes-bay, which is about a mile
and a-half distant from Portsmouth harbour. The
Ruby, Southampton packet, also, in making for
the harbour, got out of her course, and ran ashore
opposite Haslar Hospital. Fortunately there was
no swell, and the passengers were enabled to land
and get through Gosport to Portsmouth. Steam
tugs were busy during the day endeavouring to get
the vessel off, but she appears to be immoveably
ixed, and her only chance will be the next spring
:ides; should, however, a south-east or a south-
west gale set in she must speedily become a total
wreck. She is on a hard gravel bottom. Many
casualties occurred during the night.
The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—William Percival,

THE ANDOVER MURDER.

Thomas Alexander Banks, the prisoner charged
with the murder of Mr. Parsons, was yesterday
again placed at the bar, at the Guildhall, Andover,
for further examination before the borough magis-
trates, Mr. T. P. Clarke (mayor), and Messrs. Mor-
timore, H. Thompson,R. Dowling, and H. Mundy.
The prisoner's wife, Emma Banks, was placed at
the bar with her husband, charged with being an
accomplice in the murder.

Mr. Poulden again conducted the prosecution,
and Mr. Poland appeared for the prisoners.
Mr. Poulden opened the proceedings byreferring
to the evidence at the last examination, and stating
that he was in a position to connect the female pri-
soner with the commission of the crime. He then
detailed the circumstances connected with the case,
and called the following witnesses :
Francis James Webb—ln October last I was one
of the shopmen at Mr. Parsons's. I know both the
prisoners. On Thursday, the 21st of October, I re-
member Mrs. Banks coming to the shop. She
asked to see some dresses and bought a scarf. She
did not buy a dress, as they were not just what she
wanted. While she was there I went to fetch
some more, and on my return I missed a dress of a
peculiar pattern, and the only one in the forward
stork. Mr. Lentall was in the ready-made
shop at the time, and when I missed the
dress I went to him and informed him,
and returned to Mrs. Banks ag:ain. She
gave me 2s. 6d. for the scarf, and I called her
to the desk for her change. Mr. Parsons at the
time was standing next to me serving customers.
On leaving the desk to go out of the shop Mr.
Parsons and Mr. Lentall stopped her. I afterwards
saw the dress, and saw Mr. Parsons put his name
on the back of the ticket. This was about half an
hour afterwards, and between seven and eight
o'clock in the evening. That same night I was in
the market-place with John Brock. When I saw
Mrs. Banks she called me, and I went to her, when
she asked me if the young people in the house
knew about the dress that was taken. I said I did
not know, but that Mr. Lentall knew. She said
she was aware there was one that knew it. She
said she did not know how it was she took it ; it
was quite a mistake. She asked me not to say
anything about it, to keep it as quiet as possible,
and to flatly deny it. I talked with her for about
half an hour, and she gave me Is. and said she
would give me half-a-sovereign, and that she would
give it to Mr. Parsons for me if I would not say
anything about it. I afterwards had some talk
with Mr. Parsons about it. On the following Sa-
turday I went to Mrs.. Banks. She was then at
her door in Union-street. She was talking to Mr.
Falland. When Mr. Falland left, she said, " It's
all known about the dress, Mr. Chitty has told me
of it." I said I did not know how it was, and she
replied it came from Mr. Parsons's servant. •She
said she was afraid people would think something
if they saw me talking to her. She proposed
that I should meet her over the bridge at
six o'clock. She said, she would send her
Thomas down to Mr. Parsons' about the dress), and
Mr. Parsons was to flatly deny it, and she asked
me to flatly deny it also. I said I would if Mr.
Parsons wished it. This was about 5 o'clock. I
again saw her at Cross's-corner at about 6 o'clock.
We walked on to Mr. Westbury's. She asked me
to walk on up the Salisbury-road. I saw Mr.
Parsons between the sime of meeting Mrs. Banks
at 5 and 6 o'clock, and told him what Mrs. Banks
had told me to tell him. We walked up the Salis-
bury-road, and I told her Mr. Parsons had said it
was not worth while for her to send Mr. banks to
him, that she was not to tell Mr. Banks of it, but
let him find it out, and then she must make up the
best tale she could. I told Mrs. Banks that Mr.
Parsons had said he would rather not flatly deny
it. She said he must, and that she wished to see
him in the Salisbury-road. I was to go to Mr.
Parsons and tell him to meet Mrs. Banks there in
the Salisbury-road. I asked her if I should say
anything to Mr. Parsons if I found he could not
come, as he had company.• She said she would
rather see him herself, and should never forget it if
he would come. She then altered her mind, and
said she would see him at the wharf, as it would
not be so far. I then left her, and went to Mr.
Parsons, but before I did so she told me that if
Mr. Parsons could not come I was to tell him
to say that there were several parcels on the
counter, and she took it by mistake, but not
on purpose, as the parcel was not sn valuable
as her own. I communicated to Mr. Parsons what
Mn', Banks had told me to tell him. He refused
to go, and I went back and found her at the
wharf. I told her Mr. Parsons could not come, but
that he would say what she requested me to tell
him to say. She asked me if I thought Mr. Par-
sons would say so, and I said I did. As we were
leaving the wharf we heard some people coming,
and we ran under the store out of sight, and then
I left her, but she wished to see me again at 10
o'clock to tell her if I had heard any more about it.
I told her I would. if I could ; but I could not go.
On the Sunday following I was coming down
Union-street ana went up High-street. Mrs. Banks'
servant came after me, and I went to her house.
She said Mr. Banks had been to Mr. Parsons, and
he was gone to my father's house to see me, and if
I would wait a few minutes he would return, She

walked down town mo;
as he did not return, a/
it. to him. I met Mr. _
seen Mr. Parsons, and he came to me to low if
Mrs. Banks had taken the parcel by mistake or on
purpose. I told him by mistake. He asked me if
I was sure of it, and I said I was. He asked me if
I would mind saying so if he called on me again,
and I said I would not mind doing so. On Friday,
the 19th Nov., Mr. Fish, one of the shopmen, put
up some dresses for me to take to. Mrs. Banks. _I
saw Miss Banks in the shop that day, who, lilies
with her mother in London-street, and I by mis-
take took the parcel there. Mrs. Banks's ser-
vant afterwards came to the shop, and I then
discovered I had taken them to the wrong place.
I went for the parcel to Mrs. Banks' in London-
street. Miss Banks came to the door, and -I
had some conversation with her and brought
the parcel away. I took them to Mrs. Banks, the
prisoner. I found her at home and told her the
mistake I had made. She asked me if I had told
Mrs. Banks, sen„ where I was to have taken them
to, and I told her I had. She then looked at the
goods and sent the dresses back, and I was to go
with some more the next morning. I accordingly
went, and she then asked me if I had heard any-
thing more about the dress she had taken, and I
told her I had not. She said she thought the family
knew all about the dress. She thought Mr. Par-
sons had told them. I said I did not think they
did. She said she wished to see Mr. Parsons that
evening after six o'clock, as she expected her beau,
meaning her husband, would go up there, and I
told her I would tell him. I asked if I could not
say anything to Mr. Parsons if he could not come,
and she said she would rather see him herself. I
told Mr. Parsons of this, and the same evening I
went up to the prisoners' with other goods. I asked
her if Mr. Parsons had been up. She said no, but
she wished to see him at seven o'clock, and asked
me to tell him so ; her beau had not been home,
but she expected him home soon after seven. I
went back to the shop, but did not inform Mr.
Parsons of this, as I did not see him. On the
next day, Saturday, I went again with some dresses,
and I asked her if Mr. Parsons came up, and she
said yes ; but she did not detain him two minutes.
On coming out of the yard I saw Mr. Jenkins's
man Chambers, with whom I had some conversa-
tion. On the Friday Mrs. Banks gave me a
fiolince to match. I took it back after the death of
Mr. Parsons, and asked if she had any further
orders. She said she had, but she thought we did
not like to serve her. We talked a great deal
about Mr. Parsons's death. I said that from the
reports it was evident there was a woman in it.
She said she did not think so, and asked if there
was any suspicion in particular, and I said we
knew nothing in the shop about it ; but, if I was
not greatly mistaken, it was a man with plenty of
money and a very bad wife. She did not make
any remark, but seemed rather confused.
John Young, who was examined at the former
examination, gave the following additional evi-
dence :—When I was at the Railway Tavern on the
evening of the 22d of November I had driven my
carriage there. It was about a quarter before 9
when I left Andover. I took Mrs. Guyatt and two
prWishonenerl; pshasesewda Cs lacy

sgai Nrvl st
thefemale i thme
the Railway Tavern. I stopped and asked her to
ride, but she said she would walk on, and she

should be there almost as soon as we. I
went straight to the tavern, and_ then it was
that I saw the male prisoner. I asked him if
he was ready to come down home, when he said
he should be back directly, and then turned down
the Millway-drove. I stopped there about a quarter
of an hour; the prisoner did not corns back, and
Mr. Stockly and myself came down towards the
town ; when we came to Bishop's Court-lane we
turned up there for curiosity sake, and went by the
station to the tavern again ; I should think I was
a quarter of an hour gone. During that drive
round I did not see either of the prisoners. I drove
round that way to see if Mrs. Banks was gone there
or not. If she had been there' I must have seen
her. I did not see either of the prisoners at th
tavern when I returned there, or at all until I saw
them at my house, after I had returned home, at
about 10 o'clock. Ox the Friday after the murder
I Saw Banks at my house. I said, " I'm d— if some
of you won't get took up presently," and he said,
" What for ?" I said, "For killing Mr. Parsons ;"
upon which Banks said, Thank God, I've got a
clear conscience, for I can prove where I was every
quarter of an hour." I said, " Banks, you know
the last time I saw you?" He said • " Yes." I
said, " That was when you came out of the tavern
and passed through the turnstile." He made no
reply.
The proceedings were not terminated when our
report left.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE

(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
Though the mortality of London is still high, the
returns are gradually resuming a more favourable
aspect. Ip the week ending Nov. 27 the deaths rose
to 1,802, in the following week they declined to
1,738, and in the last week, ending Saturday, the
11th, they were 1,531. The mean temperature of
these three weeks has been respectively 37.4 deg.,
46.3 deg., and 36..5 deg.
In the ten years 1848-57 the average number of
deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week
was 1,183; but as the deaths in the present return
occurred in an increased population, they should be
compared with the average when it is raised in
proportion to the increase, a correction which will
make it 1,301. The comparison shows that 230 per-
sons died last week in excess of the number whose
deaths would have been recorded if the rate of mor-
tality had not been higher than the average.
The deaths arising from diseases of the organs of
respiration (exclusive of hooping-cough and phthisis)
were last week 441, having been in the two pre-
ceding weeks 524 and 516. The corrected average
for last week is 296. Bronchitis was fatal in 310,
298, and 250 cases in the last three weeks ; phthisis
in 190. 176, and 166 ; pneumonia decreased from
171 to 142. Measles was fatal in 46 cases last week,
which is 16 above the average. The deaths re-
ferred to small-pox are 13 ;to scarlatina, 237. Six
occurred from the latter disease in Somers-town,
sin St. Leonard, Shoreditch. At 5, Harding's•ter-
race, St. Mary, Newiqgton, six children in a family
have been attacked by scarlatina, and one has died.
The nonagenarians whose deaths are recorded
are five, and are all widows ; their respective ages
are 90, 94, 95, 95, and 98 years. A labourer, aged
35 years, died on the 10th inst. at• 54, Phoenix-street,
Spitalfields, from destitution.

1 Last week the births of 955 boys and 850 girls,
in all 1,805 children, were registered in London.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1848.57
the average number was 1,541.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 30.115 in.
The mean daily read4ng was above 30 in. on every
day after Sunday. The barometrical readings
varied from 29.78 to 30.20 in. The mean tempera-
