THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT
RAMSGATE.

RAMSGATE, MONDAY.

Some additional particulars have just been
brought to light in reference to this mysterious
case, which may assist the public in coming to a
conclusion upon the question of murder or suicide.
The identity of the deceased has been satisfactorily
ascertained. It appears that during the in-
quiry before the coroner the police had suc-
ceeded in tracing the deceased up to the point of
his landing at Southampton on the 31st of March,
a passenger by' the Bremen from New York. On
the termination of the inquest Superintendent Liv-
ick, of the Ramsgate police, wrote to the police
authorities of New York, conveying to them all the
known particulars of the case, and requesting them
to ascertain if possible the identity of the deceased,
and the circumstances under which he left America.
On Saturday a reply was received to the follow-
,Ng effect. The deceased was a German named
Frederick, or Friedrich Mattern, and was known
in New York, where he has two brothers living.
Their names are Jacob and Henry Mattern, and
they are not.in very good circumstances. The de-
ceased, Frederick Mattern, arrived in New York
from Germany about two years ago, and while
there he worked as a butcher. One day, about 14
months ago, he was occupied in cutting meat for
sausages by a machine, when, by some accident his
hand became entangled in the machine and the
Joints of the fore and second fingers were cut off.
This was the mutilation which the deceased ap-
peared anxious to conceal during his stay in Eng-
land.

On the 16th of March last the deceasedpurchased
a ticket at New York io go by the steamship
Bremen to Southampton, and he sailed in her on
the 19th of the same month. Prior to his depar-
ture he made it generally known that he intended
to return to Germany. He is supposed to have had
in his possession on leaving America from 160 dols.
to 250 dols. His father and mother, Jacob and
Catherine Mattern, are alive and reside at " Wolf-
stein Rheinfels, Bayer, Germany." He is described
as a person of reserved manners, but not hypochon-
driacal nor subject to aberration of mind.

From the alcove facts it would appear that the
paper found near the deceased, signed, as deciphered
at the inquest," Heinrich Matterigh," and announc-
ing the transmission of five dollars to the mother
of the ' writer, was written not by the deceased
himself, but by his brother. It may be remarked,
that at the time the body was lying in the Pier
Storehouse one of the spectators who visited it in-
quired whether either of the persons in whose cora_
pany the deceased had been seen on the day
preceding the murder was a butcher. The inquiry,
as our reporter understood, was founded on the cir-
cumstance of the wrist having been divided at the
joint, and also of there being but one stab in the
body, leading direct to the heart. It was asserted,
however, that in a case of murder the assassin,
even if acquainted with anatomy, can rarely take
his aim with such calmness and certainty that one
stab is sufficient to effect his object. The supposi-
tion that this was a case of self-mutilation and
suicide is undoubtedly strengthened by the circum-
stance of the deceased having been a butcher. No
information has yet been obtained to show a motive
for
suicide, but it is considered not improbable that
the
deceased had lost a large

of his parents.

Mr. Sergeant Shee said in this case le had to
move the court to order the discharge o: the Rev.
Mr. Roberts, who had been in custody ever since
the day when this matter was last btfore their
lordships.
Lord Campbell—Has he been in cietody not-
withstanding that he has entered int) his own
recognisances?
Sergeant Shee—No, my lord. Mr. lobcrts did
not enter into his recognisances.
Lord Campbell—Then, so far, there hts been no
irregularity.
Sergeant Shee—Oh, my lord, he dont complain
that there has.

Lord Campbell—Well, then, if Mr. loberts has
not entered into 'recognisances, upon whtt do you
found your application ?
• Sergeant Shee—Why, although Mr. loberts had
not entered into recognisances, others hal complied
with the directions of the court ; and he had to lay
before their lordships the following affidavit from
Mrs. Bonner, which would show that'sw.h was the
case. Mrs. Bonner's affidavit was dated ihis morn-
ing, and was as follows :—" I have thb morning
left the child, Mary Anne M'Donnell. with her
father, James 111‘Donnell." He had aso a short
affidavit from the Rev. Mr. Roberts hireielf, which
he should read to the court. (The learned sergeant
then read the affidavit, which was to tht following
effect :—Mr. Roberts declared that the return made
by him to the writ of habeas corpus dippting him
to bring up the body of Mary Anne Mlonnell, was
true in every particular, and was mear4:?as a denial,
and not intended as an evasion ofAkallegation.
Oat the said Willa was fretaiued hrhiln or was
Within his custody—that his language was not used
in any equivocal sense; but that he positively, denied
that the child was in his power, either at the time
of the issue of the writ or at the time of the return
to it—that at the same time he did not think it was
his duty after he had last seen the child to, take
any active steps to‘ procure her delivery to her
father; and that, on the contrary, he felt conscien-
tious objections to voluntarilyrequiring information
as to the whereabouts el the daughter—that up to
Thursday last he did nit know the place where the
child was ; and, therefore, that it was impossible
for him to have prodaced the child on that day.)
The learned sergeant then proceeded—The result
was that the child had been restored to her father,
in obedience to 'the judgment of the court; and,
therefore, he thought the matter might now be
considered as at an end.

Lord Campbell—Let it be so.
Mr. Lush—l hope, my lord, I may be permitted
to say, on behalf of the parties on the other side,
that we had no notice of this application until last
night, and that we had prepared interrogatories to
be laid before the defendant to-morrow morning.
Lord Campbell—Of course if doubts are enter-
tained as to the facts put forward by my brother
Shee, the court will allow time for further investi-
gation ; but if there are no mei doubts, and the
child has now been restored to her father, I think
we shall be justified in allowing Mr_ Roberts to be
discharged from custody, and in considering the
matter concluded.
Sergeant Shee—Thera are no doubts whatever,
my lord.
Lord Campbell—But, brother Shee, notwith-
standing what Mr.' Roberts has now said, I must
declare that any reasonable person reading his
return would consider his words equivocal and
even prevaricating. However, Mr. Roberts has
now done what might be expected as due from a
gentleman of education and right feeling, avail-
ing himself of the locus penitentim opened to
him by the court. At the same • time it
must be known that the writ of habeas
corpus is sacred and must not be tampered
with, and that the court will inflict condign punish-
ment on any one trying to evade a law intended for
the protection of the liberty of the subject as well
as for the exercise of the parental authority.
Mr. Lush—The father of the child is a very poor
man, and he has been put to very considerable ex-
pense in consequence. Surely then he ought to be
entitled to his costs,
Mr. Justice Crompton—Certainly a party in
contempt ought to pay all consequent costs.
Lord Campbell—l think the payment of all the
costs incurred would be a very reasonable condition
to attach to Mr. Roberts' immediate discharge.

Mr. Justice Crompttil—lt is a inaoer of course
that when a party has made an evasive return to a
writ of habeas corpus he should be made to bear all
the expense of the proceedings.
The order for the discharge of Mr. Roberts was
accordingly made, subject to the payment of all the
costs from the time of the issuing of the writ of
habeas corpus.
