cover. He prescribed a pill and ordered an injec-
tion. (The learned counsel then explained that
from the effect of this injection it was evident that
an attempt to procure an abortion, by instruments,
had been made, but that in reality the foetus had
not been removed ; that great laceration and injury
had taken place, through the use of an instrument
called a " perforator," and that death had taken plabe
partly through a shock to the nervous system, and
partly through absorption of pus throughout the
system.) She died about 10 o'clock on Tuesday night.
On the following morning Dr. Wilson was sent for,
and he immediately felt convinced that deceased
had died by some foul means. In consequence,
Bilcliffe went to Wilhelm's shop, and asked for a
certificate. Wilhelm wrote out a certificate which
it would be seen ascribed the death to a totally dif-
ferent cause from the real one. Dr. Wilson himself
afterwards saw Wilhelm and told him that the
death was not caused as he had set forth, upon
which Wilhelm made use of the extravagant ex-
pression that " she must have made use of a shoe
or a stick for the purpose of procuring abortion."
It would be found, however, from medical testimony
that it would have been utterly imposssible for the
deceased thus to have produced upon herself the
injuries which presented themselves. Upon search-
ing Wilhelm's house a pair of forceps and the for-
midable instrument called a " perforator" were
found. This latter instrument undoubtedly had
been used. But though they bad surrounded the
prisoner with all this evidence they were not able
to say whose hand it was and under what circum-
stances these instruments were used, and it was for
the purpose of proving that that they wished to
call Stadtmuller, who went into Wilhelm's service
as an assistant a few days before the prisoner at-
tended the deceased, and who would detail what
took place on Sunday afternoon, the 26th, and how
the instruments for procuring abortion were used.
The learned counsel then proceeded to call wit-
nesses.
Dr. Wilson stated that the cause of death was
internal labcration, and not disease. The canals or
avenues provided for the natural secretions to escape
had been so violently operated upon as to make a
communication between the two. Some sharp in-
strument must have been used, such as the perfora-
tor. He could not say whether ergot of rye had
been administered in this case. There was no pelvic
malformation in deceased to require instruments.
This evidence was corroborated by another surgeon
who had attended the post mortem examination.
Carl Stadtmuller was then examined (the Rev.
Mr. Steinthal acting as interpreter.) He described
the visits of the deceased to Wilhelm's house, the
modes adopted by the prisoner to ensure secrecy
as to his operations, and finally the application of
the instruments to procure abortion.
The Judge summed up, and after a brief delibe-
ration the jury returned a verdict of Guilty, the
foreman expressing his regret that the law would
not allow a verdict of manslaughter to be returned.
The learned Judge said the verdict was inevitable,
under the circumstances. A clearer case of guilt
he had never seen. He would, however, forward
a statement of the feeling of the jury to the proper
quarter. Sentence of death was then passed in the
usual form.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL—DEc. 14.
The supplies of '(,rain, flour, and Indian eorn from the
American continent are this week almost nil, having had
only 676 qrs wheat, 10 barrels of flour, and no Indian corn
from the United States, with 2,200 qrs of peas from Canada.
From European ports, however, we had liberal arrivals of
wheat, flour, and Indian corn. The trade during the week
has been languid, and, excepting Indian corn, which has
improved about is per qr, no other change of price can be
observed. Good articles are scarce, and up en such the de-
mand has been and is chiefly, so that holders do not think
of pressing sales, unless at fully late values- The weather
is open and mild. To-day there was a thin attendance of
buyers, and the general business was modern te. The better
sorts of wheat, flour, and Indian corn quite supported late
rates, whilst the lowest descriptions were aln lost neglected.
' Oats and oatmeal were rather lower. Barley, beans, and
peas not much dealt in.

LEEDS—DEc. 14.
Supplies of wheat come quite equal to the demand. We
do not make any alteration in the price of wheat from Fri-
day, but the trade is slow, and business limited in extent.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Dec. 14.

M AN SI ON-HOU SE .—Alex. Kokanowsky, Jacob
Goldwater, and Myers Goldsburg, were brought
before Sir R. W. Carden, for final examination,
upon the charge of having feloniously forged plates
for the manufacture of Russian rouble notes, with a
view to defraud the Russian Government, and also
with having had in their possession plates for the
accomplishment of that object.
Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Messrs. Oliverson, La-
vie, and Peachey, of the Old Jewry, appeared for
the Russian Government, and Mr. Beard attended
for Kokanowsky. The other prisoners were not
professionally defended.
Mr. Sleigh said he had but one witness more to
call to complete the charge.
James Nathaniel Baker said—l live at No. 5,
Brick-lane, Spitalfields, and am in the employment
of Mr. Roll, in Sun-street, Bishopsgate. About
two months ago Goldwater came into Mr. Roll's
shop. I was there alone, and Goldwater asked me
if we could engrave foreign languages. I told him
" Yes." He said he wanted a gold plate, 6 by 4,
engraved, with several lines and an eagle. He said
it was a very particular job, and the gentleman
would not care what he paid to have it done well.
I showed him some specimens, and he asked me for
ax estimate, which I said I could not give him
without knowing the number of lines. He then
asked me whether I could give him an esti.
mate for seven lines. I went for Mr. William

Roll and brought him in, and they had a con-
versation together in my presence, but I paid no
particular attention to it. I was at work at the
time. Tho next day I saw Goldwater again. He was
with Kokanowsky, and I saw young Mr. Roll show
them some specimens of engravings. I afterwards
saw the same two prisoners at Mr. Roll's shop, and I
also saw Goldsburg on one occasion.
Sir IL W. Carden, upon the application of Mr.
Beard, directed that the gold watch found in the
possession of Kokanowsky should be given up to
that prisoner, upon the undertaking that it should
be produced at the trial, Mr. Peachey having made
no objection on the part of the prosecution.
The prisoners, each of whom said he bad no state-
ment to make to the magistrate, were then com-
mitted for trial.

George Elgar, aged 15, was charged with having
stolen two pocket handkerchiefs.
. Policeman 562 said—On Monday evening I saw
the prisoner, who was accompanied by another boy,
in Fenchurch-street, try to pick the pockets of
several gentlemen. He succeeded in getting a
handkerchief out of the pocket of one gentleman,
and he handed it to his companion, who disappeared ;
and I saw him soon afterwards try to get anothey.
I succeeded in apprehending him, but his accom-
plice escaped. He seemed notto recollect his name
when taken to the station-house, and he also forgot
where he resided.
Prisoner—l did not forget my name, I assure you.
Policeman—He could not say what it was when
he was brought here this morning.
Sir R. W. Carden—l have reason to believe that
though a young boy he is an experienced thief, and
I shall send him to Bridewell to hard labour for six
weeks.
William Marsh, a soldier in the 2d battalion of
the 13th Infantry, was charged with having de-
serted from his regiment.
The defendant said he was not a deserter, but
was merely absent from his regiment a longer time
than his permission extended to.
Sir R. W. Carden said he believed the state-
ment of the defendant, but was obliged to return
him as a deserter. A letter, however, should be
sent to the commanding officer, stating the
opinion entertained by the bench on the subject,
in the hope that it would operate in favour of the
supposed deserter.

WORSHIP-STREET.—William Anderson, a
young man of gentlemanly exterior, who stated
that he was married, resided at St. Albans, and
that his wife was on the eve of her " accouchement,”
was charged with grossly misconducting himself
towards two young ladies in Victoria Park.
The evidence was completely made out by one of
the park-keepers, and of course most reluctantly
corroborated by those whose feelings had been most
outraged, but it. was
of such a scandalous character
that any description of it is precluded.
The charge was denied in toto, and a friend of the
prisoner gave him an excellent character as a strictly
moral man.
Mr. D'Eyncourt observed that he was induced
to believe this class of offences was greatly on the
increase, and on being informed by the keeper that
such was the case, said, it could not be accounted
for, but appeared to him a species of insanity. The
public must be protected, and, sorry as he was for
the defendant's family, he must send him to the
House of Correction as a rogue and a vagabond for
the term of two calendar months. Females were
much to be commended for the courage they evinced
in giving. evidence against those who thus scan-
dalously insulted them.
Patrick O'Reilly, a young Irishman, was charged
with indecently assaulting a servant girl while
kneeling at the steps of her master's door, in the
Curtain-road.

Prisoner protested that he fell over the com-
plainant's legs by accident, and that what after-
wards occurred resulted from it ; but the case was
conclusively proved, and
Mr. D'Eyncourt fined the offender £5 or two
months'.

CLERKENWELL.—Richard King, aged 28,
of 6, Abbey-place, St. Pancras, a well-known thief,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Corrie, charged
with being concerned with others in committing a
number of daring robberies, under the following
circumstances :
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner
