OLD BAILEY. -(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
CHARCE of 14UKnit.
Catharine Zainbridge, aged 22, was indicted for the
Wilful murder of William Francis, a man of colour, on the
19th July, in the parish of St. Paul, Shadwell, by stab-
bing him in the side. She was also arraigned upon the
Coroner's inquisition.
The prisoner was rather genteelly dressed, and was ac-
commodated with a seat. She cried bitterly, and kept her
handkerchief to her face during the whole of her trial.
Elizabeth Bowles sworn—l lived in a room facing that
in which the deceased lived, at No. 4, Match •walk, in the
parish of St. Paul, Shadwell. The p, isoner and Francis
lived together, and had done so for about a week. On the
night of the 19th July, between 11 and 12, Francis came
home, but not intoxicated. He was ruffled in his temper. He
asked me for a light; anti I give aim one ; he said,
" Woman, you would be frightened if yoti had heard all I
have heard to night ;" adding, that he would not let the
prisoner in that night. About a quarter of z:n hour after-
wards she came up stairs and went into the room. He
told her to go out, but I could not hear whether she
made any answer. I next heard plates and other things
being broken, and a great rustle between them, but I could
not hear whether they were striking one another. That
rustle continued for a very few minutes; I cannot say
whether any blows were given, but I heard the
prisoner say, " I will stab you with a knife." All
this Occupied but a very few minutes. Almost
immediately afterwards I heard her threa•en to stab
him. I heard her exclaim, "Oh Nancy, Nancy !"
in an agitated manner. Nancy meant Anne Leo-
nard, who went up immediately. I was in bed, and
did not go into the room or see them until the policemen
carried the prisoner away. Besides the rustle there were
words between them, but I could not understand what they
were ; they were both in a passion, and there might have
been blow, between them. Francis was a powerful man
and about 50 years of age.
Cross-examined, by Mr. BARRY.—Francis was a dark-
coloured man, and a foreigner. I was in my own Loom,
the door of which was closed.
Anne Leonard, a lodger in the same house, !sworn—
Francis and the deceased had formerly lived together until
the former went to sea, and bad returned from sea about a
week, and again cohabited with her. I was not at home
when Francis came home on the 19th of July ; but I
Was when the prisoner came in. I beard the prisoner go
into her room, and in about five minutes she called down
stairs " Nancy !" two or three times, in a quick and hur-
ried manner. If she had not called to me, I should not
have known that any thing had happened. I had pre-
viously heard the crockery-ware breaking. When I went
up stairs the prisoner said she had broken the crockery-
ware. When I went up stairs I found the pri-
soner lying on the floor, and Francis with his foot
on Part of her body, and her hair in his hand ; he was
luting to strike her; the prisoner's cop was off; I asked
Francis what he was doing, and he put his hand to his
breast, Raying—" See what Kitty has been doing." His
shirt about his breast was covered with blood. The pri-
soner said, site had thrown a bason at him ; she appeared
to be much in liquor ; I cannot say whether he had beaten
het that night, but I have known him beat her; his temper
was very violent.
Cross-examined—I have known him bite her, and she
showed me the mark on her arm; she used frequently to
run out of his way in consequence of the violence of his
temper ; he used often to lay hold of the hair of her head
and beat her.

By Mr. Baron BAYLEYI had seen the prisoner on
that night at a public-house, and I persuaded her to go
home, which she did ; she expressed no ill-will against
Francis, who was eery jealous of her.
Mary Burgess, also a lodger in the house, stated, that
When the prisoner came home, Francis told her she should
not come in, and she said she would come in; witness
afterwards beard a wrestling as if Francis was endeavour-
ing to keep the prisoner out, and she endeavouring
to get in ; witness afterwards heard the prisoner call
" Nancy," and shortly after, on entering their room, she
sat, the deceased lying under the window, and the pri-
soner sitting on a chair.
„ John Douglas, a policeman, stated that on the night in
'ue'ti°o he was near the house in which the prisoner
lived' and heard her call Out " Little Anne" several times.
Witness afterwards went up Pinto the room, and saw the
deceasedinclining over the back of a chair. The prisoner
Was walking backwards and forwards in the room as if in
d_istress. The deceased had a wound in the right breast,
from which the blood wasflowing. The deceased said he had
been stabbed. Besides the wound in the breast the deceased
had a wound over the left eye. Witness observed to the
prisoner that the man had been stabbed, bu t she replied he had
not. On looking round, witness found a knife, which he
're, produced, and which was bloody. The prisoner
then said " that is not the knife; it was little Anne's
knife." A woman, named Tucker, said that she had
taken little Anne's knife down stairs. On looking about
the room, witness found another knife, which 'he also
Produced, but there were no marks of blood on it. Wit-
ness told the prisoner that he must take her into custody,
on which she ran to a table drawer, and endeavoured to get
another knife. On the way to the station-house she observed
that it was all because she had spoken to another nun, of
Whom Francis was jealous.
William Butler, a policeman, stated, that t bout ten
o'clock on the night in question, be saw the prisoner and
deceased quarrelling in Old Gravel-lane ; witness removed
them from his beat; the prisoner was abusing the deceased,
who said to her, " Kitty, I will have a row with you to-
night... She shortly afterwards told the deceased that
he should not come into the room that night, for she
would go home and fasten him out ; witness saw
no more of them until he subsequently went into the room
and saw the deceased stabbed ; witness assisted in carrying
the deceased down stairs, and on the way down he expired.
Cross examined—The prisoner had certainly been drink-
ing but was not drunk.
Mr. John Price, a surgeon, deposed that he examined
the body of the deceased, whose death was caused by a
wound inflicted by some such instrument as either of the
knives now produced.
Mr. Bird, also a surgeon, gave similar testimony.
The prisoner, who had never lifted up her head or un-
covered her face during the whole of her trial, on being
called upon for her defence, declined to say any thing.
Mr. Baron Bayeev then summed up the evidence with
great perspicuity, explaining at considerable length the
difference in the law regarding the offences of murder and
manslaughter- To constitute the crime of murder the
act must be down with malice aforethought, and the law
considered that malice aforethought consisted in means
terminating in death, but used intentionally and without
provocation. The Jury would have to consider two points
--first, whether the deceased got his death by a stab from
the prisoner; and secondly, whether (if they were satisfied
on that point) there was that m dice aforethought which
constituted the crime of murder, Snit whether also there was
such a provocation on the part of the deceased as is reduce
the offence to manslaughter. It must be observed that if
a party strike a deadly blow with no other provocation for
it than mere words, those words would not reduce the
offence to manslaughter ; but if immediately before the
mortal blow there was any beating of the accused party by
the deceased, that reduced the offence of murder to that
of manslaughter. The burthen of proving there was a
blow given by the deceased so as to reduce the crime w.ts
by law laid on the party accused, but still that fact might
be collected from the circumstances of the case; and where
no third parson was present to detail what passed, it was
for the Jury to consider whether or not there were certain
circumstances in the case which satisfied them that there
had been personal violence on the part of the deceased.
The Learned Judge then read the whole of the evidence,
after Which
The Jury retired, and on their return delivered a ver-
dict,
ending the prisoner Guilty of Manslaughter only.

NE
W COURT.
Sarah James and Mary Tomlinson, her aunt, were
indicted, the former for stealing tea, pickle, capers,
prunella, walnut; cauliflower, and a jar of strawberry
salt,
jam, the property of her master, Mr. Illakins, a grocer,
and the latter for feloniously receiving the same knowing
them to be stolen.
Mr. Robert Jesse Makins stated that he was a grocer,
residing in Manchester street, Manchester-square. The
Prisoner James had been his servant of all work for a
Month; that having suspicion of her dishonesty he pro-
cured an officer, who on searching her bed found under
her pillow a bottle, of capers, some salt prunnella, and a
package of tea. On charging her with the theft she ex-
pressed her sorrow for what site had done, and hoped he
would forgive her. The other prisoner Mary Tomlinson
lived in East-street, two hundred yards from the prosecu-
tor's house. Ou searching her house, the officer found a
bottle of cauliflower and sallad oil, which he (the prose-
cutor) could swear to by the peculiar colour of the wax
that sealed down the corks.
The COMMON SERJEANT asked whetber:the prosecutor
had nut some private mark of his own by which he could
identify the property ?—Prosecutor said he could swear
to it by the cement on the cork,.
Mr. Prtzwrs, who appeared for the prisoners, said that
lie could find 500 bottles similarly sealed in the shop of
Morell, of Piccadilly.
COMIMON SERJEANT told the Jury that he bad
looked through the depositions, and he could not find a

single thing in them to identify the property found at,
Tomlinson's as the property of the prosecutor. With re-
spect to James, the caaa was widely different, she having
herself admitted the theft, and asked forgiveness for it.
The Jury, under the Learned Judge's direction, found
James Guilty, and acquitted Tomlinson.
Mr. and Mrs. Bennett, who had known James for seve-
ral years, gave her a most excellent character.
Charlotte Doris, a young woman of light character,
was indicted for receiving two ro cl:lac:s, the property of
a young lady named Staines, residing at Hendon, knowing
them to he stolen.

Mr. PHILLIPS appeared for the prosecution.
Miss Clementina Staines examined.—Lived at Hendon,
as parlour hoarder, with a lady there. On the after-
noon of Thursday, the 9,1 of Atavist, she left a small box,
containing a quantity of jewellery, in a lower room, the
window of which was open, but the blind down. In the
afternoon of the same day, the police constahle of Hendon
brought the box, broken open ; afterwards saw part of a
cornelian necklace, which she knew to be her property.
Warren, the constable of Hendon, stated that he had
been sent for in consequence of the robbery, and, en search-
ing, found the box in a field, not far from the house. Saw
a person named Grey, a well known thief, near Hendon,
on that day.
William Ray, a police constable, No. 92, S division—
On the day of the robbery sew the prisoner in Camden-
town in company with a female named Grey. Hearing
of the robbery, he went to the station-house and ascer-
tained the prisoner's address, and on searching her Waco
of anode, in Jeffries'-buildings, Westminster, witness found
a gold watch, silver thimble, a cornelian necklace, the
duplicate of a pearl one, and various other articles of
jewellery, together with eight sovereigns.
By the CommoN SERJEANT-The prisoner said she
had the things given to her by a gentleman.
George H. Riddell, a shopman to Messrs. Hobbs and
Co., the pawnbrokers, produced a pearl necklace which
had been pledged by the prisoner at their shop for 9u.,
which the prosecutor identified as her property. The
witness abed the prisoner, who was then dressed in the
first style of fashion. how she came possessed of the neck-
lace, when she said a gentleman, a friend of her's, had
given it her.
_ _ _

Mr. Pi it asked the witness how he came to lend
her so small a sum on so valuable an article.

Witness said that was all tl-:e prisoner asked. If two
sovereigns had been requested, it would have been lent
directly.

The COMMON-SERJEA NT made several severe observa-
tions on the improper conduct of pawnbrokers lending
such small sums on articles so valu ible.

Mr. CLAassois;, on behalf of the prisoner, submitted
that there was no ease to go to the Jury, inasmuch as no
proof had been offered that she had received the property
from another person.
Mr. PHILLIPS expressed his surprise that the depositions
which were very important, bad not been returned, but
felt confident there was quite sufficient to go to the Jury.
The COMMON. SERJEANT summed up at great length,
and the Jury, after retiring for about a quarter of an
hour, returned a verdict of Guilty of receiving the pearl
necklace, knowing it to be stolen.
The pawnbroker who had lent the 9s. on the pearl
necklace received a severe reprimand from the Common-
Serjeant, who stated, that if be had been indicted, he
might have had great difficulty in persuading a Jury he
was not aware the property had got unfairly into the pos-
session of the party offering it for pledge. In conse•
quence of his improper conduct the Court refused him his
expenses.

Dennis Foley, a respectable middle-aged man, was in-
dicted for receiving a broach, well knowing it to be stolen,
the property of the same prosecutrix.
Mr. PHILLIPS said, that no doubt could be entertained
of the prisoner receiving the property from Davis, but,
on account of his giving every information required, he
should not press the case against him.—Acquitted.
Joseph Nicholls, a young man, was then placed at the
bar, and indicted for receiving two diamond broaches and
a ring, the property of tile last-mentioned prosecutrix.
Miss Staines identified the property on its being pro-
duced as hers ; and two pawnbrokers swore to the pro-
perty being pledged at their shops by the prisoner.
Gibson, the shoprnan to a Mr. Jones, a pawnbroker in
Tothill street, Westminster, on his cross-examination by
Mr. Phillips, said that one of the diamond broaches which
had been pledged by the prisoner, which contained no
less than 65 diamonds and a great quantity of pearls, was
not worth more than 30s. On the broach being shown
to Mr. Wontner, he had no hesitation in saying it was
worth 10 guineas, the pawnbroker having lent no more
than 16s. upon it.
Mr. PitiLues said the conduct of pawnbrokers, in
lending such small sums on articles (deo valuable a nature,
was most shameful, and he was afraid no good would be
done among them till a few of their body were brought to
the bar, and tried for receiving goods, knowing them to
be stolen.

The prisoner, in his defence, said he had been empllyed
by Grey (who is not yet in custody) to pawn the property,
and he was not aware it was stolen.

The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.

_ .
The COURT directed all the pawnbrokers to disgorge all
the property they had so improperly received, and refused
all of them their expenses.

The following very curious document, relative
to the liberty of the Scheldt. is to he found in the memoirs
of LINQLOT. It is the opinion given by the States of
Zealand, in 1616, on the question of a durable peace :
" If peace is made, they say the provinces, towns, and
members of the Low Countries, must be allowed to enjoy
the conveniences and the advantages which God and Nl-
tore have granted them, and of which they had the use
and possession before the war, without its being possib'e,
on any ground, or under any pretext, to suffer the obsta-
cles and the hindrances introduced during the war to sub-
sist afterwards, but which might be continued during a
truce. Even should it be attempted to stipulate the con-
trary, by a treaty, all nations will recognise the injustice
of it; such a stipulation will be a constant source of dis-
agreements and misunderstandings; troubles will ensue,
M which all the world veil' declare in favour of the s aid
provinces and towns, because such impediments are con-
trary to commerce in general, and all those who frequent
those provinces and cities, are interested in the question."
