ALLEGED MURDER ON BOARD SHIP.---.on Tues-
day last a poor man, named M'Guinness, and his
wife, dwelling at 51, Bell-street, Edgware-road,
came before Mr. Partridge, and complained that
their son, Allan Goodridge MGuinness, ordinary
seamen on board the ship Marlborough, had been
brutally murdered on board that ship in the course
of her voyage to the East Indies and back, and that

four or five of the crew had stated that he was
badly used by the captain. Mr. Partridge ordered
an immediate inquiry to be made by Daniel Smith,
police constable 415 K, who now came before the
court with five sailors, and said the deceased was
sent aloft to grease the masts in consequence of
some neglect of duty, and while thus engaged he
had the misfortune to meet with a coup de soleil or
sun stroke, which affected his intellect, and
he died ten days afterwards. He was not
able to ascertain whether the captain had treated
the young man with any particular harhness before
he was attacked with sunstroke. After the sea-
man was taken ill he received medicine, and was
attended by the captain until he died.
Mr. Partridge, after questioning the seamen, said
he did not see any grounds for his interference, and
he should leave the case in the hands of Inspector
Allison, an experienced officer of the IC division,
who would make further inquiries, and interfere if
he thought there were any grounds for doing so.
JEALOUSY AND REVENGE.—Edward Clay, a
young man, was charged with violently assaulting
Miss Starkey. The parties had been very intimate,
and both had vowed eternal constancy to each other.
The prisoner had told her if he ever saw her with
any other man, or if she was unfaithful to him,
he would kill her. Last night he discovered the
faithless fair one walking with a young mau arm-

in-arm, and the young man was whispering soft
nonsense into the complainant's ear. The prisoner
accused his sweatheart with unfaithfulness and a
violation of her pledged vows, and committed a
brutal assault on her. He struck her about the
head and face, cut her mouth, and loosened three
or four of her teeth. Her mouth was bleeding,
when a police-constable, No. 254 K, came to her aid.
The prisoner said he had been very ill, and laid
up with fever. His head was shaved, and he was
very ill. The complainant said that Clay was a
lazy, dissipated fellow, but his friends were very
respectable.
The magistrate said ho must protect young women
from such brutal assaults as these, and sentenced
the prisoner to be imprisoned for two mouths, and
kept to hard labour.
