In the con, se of the night they sent her out several

that she went with them to a public house to drink..
Mr. Daniels said that the prisoner Maul was
"confidential servant," and the son of a friend.
He was sent for on Sunday morning by the police,
and found that his desks and drawers bad been

The prosecutor, however, clearly p:ovt a that t!,c
coin he gave hint was a sovereign ; and it appeared;
in the cour.:e of the case, that whoa the rrisoner
was questioned' upon Vie subject by a policeman,
he at first dewed having had a sovereign, but after-

The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—JaIg 5.

(Before Mr. Payne.)
John Lane, 38, described as a brewer, was in-
dicted for unlawfully assaulting James Beresford,
with intent feloniously and violently to steal goods,
&e., from his person.
This was a very singular case. The prosecutor,
an elderly gentleman, partly paralysed, lived at 6,
Gloucester-cottages, laverstock-hill, and on June
19, having been out a short time, he was passing
from the gate in front of the house to the door,
when a man (the prisoner) sprang upon hint from
behind a tree, threw him down, and grasped him
tightly by the throat. He struggled wi.h him, and
cried out "Murder," when a man named King ran
up and held the prisoner until a policAnan came up
and took him iu charge. When the prosecutor gut
got up his- watch wasdangling from his pocket, and,
under the supposition that the prisoner intended
to steal it, he charged him with having assaulted
him with the obj-ct of committing that offence.
The prisoner, in his defence, said it was far from
his intention to commit any criminal act when this
transaction took place. He had gone through the
gate, the hour being late and the night dark, ftir
natural purpose, apd-when he was about to leave,
the prosecutor. came against him as he was to-ning
round, and acrid-utaLy fell down, crying ru •
der." Peis,ais eame and t,, in, utter amaze-
inwit ho wa, c,,ar,ect with attempting to rob the
old gentleman. He did not live more than a hun-
dred yards from where it occurred, and as to his
character, he had been in business with his father
as a brewer at Rochester, also at Windsor, where
he was burnt iv-, and on the very day thA it oc-
curred he had been in negotiation with a brewer's
agent al-,out a business which he had to dispose
That was all ht had to say, and he trusted he snould
be a,cquited by the jury..,_

WESTM[NSTER.—WiII;arn Alfred Brown,
aged 24, de4cribed us a doctor of laws, of 33, Bel-
grade-road, was charged with the following as-
saults :

Joseph Clissold, artificial flower maker, of 2,
Queen's-buildings, Brompton, stated that a little
before tweive on Sunday night he was walking
down Bionipton-road with his wife, whom ha left
for a minute. On rejoining her he found her scuf-
fling with the defendant, who had his arm round
her waist. On his interfering, the defendant struck
him a blow in the face and walked off. Complainant
followed and gave him into custody, on which
defendant kicked him several times.
Mrs. Clissold and a policeman confirmed this
statement, and
Mr. Arnold sentenced the defendant t.) pay a flue
of 51., or to be imprisoned for two months, for each
assault.
The money was paid.

THE CONFESSION OF WIFE MURDER.-
A SCENE.

Yester,lay tr 0-11111,T Mr. Wi.liam Baker' and Ow
ja, y no were empanelled to inquire into the eir- '
cum Stances of the death of a woman named Hoare,
the wife cf John Hoare, a labouring man, re- -
assembled at the Sherwood Arms, Bow-common-
lane, Broml-7.
The inquiry was adjourned from Saturday last,
and the first witness called was Mr. William Evan
Willarns, a dresser at the London Hospital, who
stated that, although he was summoned, he really
did not recollect anything about the deceased's
case.

A kr. Jones, who sa4lie was a breweL's agent,
corroborated the latter part of the prisoner's state-
ment, and gave him a good character for the period
he had known him, about three ye*Ars.
Mr. Payne told the jury it was a else peculiarly
for them to determine. It was, to say th:!, least of
it, a very suspicious matter, but he should advise
them either to acquit the prisoner altogether, or,
if they thought the evidence sufficient, to convict
him of the whole charge, as there was no count for
assault only.
_ .

Coroner—But surely you make some note of !he
easeA that are brought Into the hospital?
Witness—Well, no, tot always • it was very
likely that the other dresser, Mr. fiennedy, was
there.

The Coroner said they were evidently in some-
what of a dilemma, the Foreman not taking the
same view of the case Ds hii brother jurymen. It,
however, wanted but three grains of common sense
to understand ti,e whole case, for it was in law
perfectly clear.
Foreman—Perhaps I have not those three grains
of common sense, but still I have my own idea.
Coroner—You may have that amount of com-

The jury said they were agreed as to an assault,
but thought there was no intention to rob the pro-
secutor oii the part of the prisoner.

This was entered, under the direction of the
court, as a verdict of not guilty, and the prosecutor
having stated that he did not wish to indict the
prisoner for assault, he was discharged.

mon sense or you may not, but I and your fellow-
jurymen_seem to see the case quite clearly.
The Foreman—There is not the slightest proof
that the man struck the woman, but there' is no
doubt the woman struck the man.
The Coroner said he must again remark that it
appeared to him the: e could be no hesitation about
the matter. It was a case of the utmost impor-
tance, for if the man was even insane, and set at
liberty by them (the jury) or the magistrate, he
might the moment he got loose commit =Aber
murder. It was given them in evidence that the
deceased's ribs were bound up at the Ifmadon Hos-
pital, and it was not at all likely that if the deceased -
had not sustained a fracture of the r;ba they would
have been bound up.

The Foreman here intimated that he could not
give way.

The Coroner said, that as the Foreman was not
convinced he must swear the constable to lock up
the jury until they came to a verdict. He (the
Coroner) had some other business to transact, and
would return in about a couple of hours to receive
their verdict.

After some further remarks, the Foreman said as
he saw there were eleven gentlemen against him,
although he still held the same opinion as lie did
before, that there was no proof the man Hoare
struck his wife and caused the injuries from which
she died, with the exception of iris own confession,
which he (the Foreman) looked upon as the state-
ment of an insane man, yet, under existing circum-
stances, ho would give way.
The Coroner said he was.very happy to hear such
sentiments ft our the Foreman, as it appeared to him
that he (the Foreman) could do nothing else.
The jury then returned a verdict of " Man-
slaughter," against John Hoare, and the witnesses
were hound over to prosecute at the Central Crimi-
nal Court.
