MARYLEBOIVE.

Yesterday William Hall the butler, and Martha Hand-
cox, the lady's maid, were placed at the bar before Mr.
RAWLINSON for re-examination, on a charge of having
robbed their mistress, Mrs. Charlotte Collins, of 26, Man.
chester-square, of a quantity of jewels, valued at 2,0001.
Mary Sumpter, the housemaid, in addition to the evi-
dence which she gave on the previous occasion, stated that
though she did not know where the jewels were sold, she
had frequently, prior to the robbery, heard the prisoner
Hall mention the name of Barney, a Jew, as a very rich
person, and one very likely to purchase any property of the
description lost. She did not hear him mention Barney's
address, and cannot undertake to say positively that Hall
meant him to have the jewels. She then went on to men-
tion some further particulars relative to the robbery, and
stated that after the jewels were taken out of the box, the
latter was burned in various parts of the house, to avoid
detection.

Mr. Henry Crosweller, locksmith, &c., of 36, Welbeck-
street, on the morning in question was 'called in, and ex-
amined the door of Mrs. Collins's dressing-room, and was
decidedly of opinion, that though there was a superficial
mark on the door-post, the lock had neither been forced
nor picked. His attention was next called to the drawer
in the dressing-room, in which the jewels had been deposited
in a box, and he found no marks indicative of the least vio-
lence. There was a patent lock on the drawer, which had
neither been picked nor wrenched open.
Michael Kenny had lived with Mrs. Collins as footman
since the Ist of last month. Remembers that about eight
o'clock on the evening of last Saturday se'nnight (the
evening of the robbery), the prisoner Hall sent him out on

-se? ; and after
John-street, eiv-road, to ask
named Glover, Am-- be
m for some .time. past seiiiilt-
iere he saw the Man in ques-,!
v him, greatly to his surprise,
1, and had not lately been ill;
early an hour in going to both:.
about the robbery.
Ann Westgate, the cook, had lived with Mrs. Collins
for the last two months, but knew nothing whatever of the
robbery. On the Saturday mentioned, after dinner, she
went to the bakehouse for a pudding, and brought it home ;
-when she came back she did not see the last witness, the
footman, and has reason to believe that he was not in the
house at the time. The cloth was laid, and they were
about to sit down to supper when the prisoner Hall said
he should like to have a drop of gin, and asked her if she
would fetch half a pint from a public-house some distance
off, in King-street, Baker-street, observing at the time that
there was no getting any good liquor in the neighbourhood,
and after some hesitation she went for it, and returned in
about twenty minutes. They then had supper, and sub-
sequently she played at cards with the two prisoners, and
Mary Sumpter, the first witness. On the Monday follow-
ing, after the robbery was discovered, she observed to Mary
Sumpter that she thought it looked strange for the butler
to have sent her so far for the gin. She replied, "Do you
think so ?" and there the conversation dropped.
Kenny, the footman, examined the dusthole on Monday
morning last, agreeably to orders, in company with the
coachman, and among the rubbish he found a round piece
of metal, much burned. The coachman also picked up a
piece of metal which too had evidently been in the fire.
Richard Evans, the coachman, who has been thirty-five
years in the family, having given corroborative evidence,
the pieces of metal in question were here inspected by Mrs.
Collins, who identified them as having belonged to the
jewel box which had been burnt, as already stated.
The prisoners said nothing in their defence, but their so-
licitors applied to the Magistrates to have a portion of the
money found on them restored, for the purpose of conduct-
ing their defence, when 131. was given up by the consent
of Mr. Hobler.

The prisoners were then remanded to Monday next, by
which time it is probable the receivers will be in custody.

MARLB OR 0 U GH- STREET.
BLACK JOB.—Francis 0 gland, a diminutive tyro of the
sable science of chimney-sweeping, was charged with having
fraudulently obtained from Mr. Taprell, juniper-merchant,
the sum of 125., the rightful property of a journeyman in
the employ of Wingod, the prisoner's master.

The honor of the " cloth" being deeply implicated in
the discovery of the offence, a proper " sensation" was ex-
cited among the sable fraternity, who assembled in such
numbers as to render an approach to the office if not
dangerous at least disagreeable.
It came out in evidence that the journeymen had sent
three sacks of cinders to Mr. Taprell, the charge for which
was to be 12s. The boy, who had got scent by some means
of the transaction, went boldly to Mr. Taprell, and on
saying that he came for the money for the cinders, the
amount was handed over to him without any suspicion
being excited. The real claimant shortly afterwards mak-
ing his appeaaance with the same demand, was, as he said,
" struck all over quite comical, ven he diskivered the wile
himpersition." He set on foot an inquiry instanter, and
soon obtained irresistible evidence of the prisoner's culpa-
bility.

Mr. CONANT :—I-low does it occur that the cinders be-
longed to the jonrneyman ? Wingod—Vy that's von of
the privilidges wot I gives 'em. Ven they've larnt their
businesses as sweeps, and gets promoted to be " climbing
journeymen," I grants 'em the perquisites of all the cinders
vot gets among the soot.
Mr. CONANT—Then the prisoner had no business with
the cinders? Wingod—Not a har'porth. That 'ere boy
vos my apprentice, and perwising he'd a acted in a hupright
and honourable vay he'd a'got to the werry tip of perfoe-
tion in his perfession, and in time come to be a climbing
journeyman himself ; but now, all as ever he'll come to is
the gallows, if he don't have the luck to get transported for
this here crime.

The " Climbing Journeyman," who it appeared had
double reason to complain, for he had intended to lead the
' sprinc, fashions among the Chummies in a pair of red velvet
smalls, which, on the strength of the cinder-money, he had
incautiously ordered, vented his indignation by averring
that the boy was one of the " hartfullest cards as ever he
seed a head on." His brother-journeyman and himself
were continually losing articles, without being able to detect
the thief, but now he was thoroughly convinced it was no
one but the prisoner, who on Friday last had " boned the
sifter's grub," and had taken " fippence farden and two
screws of bakker" out of the journeyman's pocket.
In defence the boy asserted that another boy had put
him up to the fraud, and bad gone with hiin to receive the
money. When confronted with the accused party, the
prisoner, who had sturdily, stuck out for his innocence. ad-

planned and executed the .offence..

Plank, the officer, questioned him as to his motive for so
acting. TV th a world of sighs and tears the culprit con-
fessed that " ginger-pop, horanges, and half-price to Covent-
Garden Theatre," had worked his downfall. He vowed "
lustily, if let off this once, that he would turn " reformer,"
and thereby falsify the patibulary prognostication of his
master.

The evidence being too conclusive to admit of doubt, the
prisoner was remanded for the present.

HORRID AND BRUTAL MURDER.

(Abridged from the Limerick Star.)
In our last it became our painful duty to state that a
man named Hayes had cut his wife's throat in this city on
that morning. Not being then in possession of the parti-
culars of this horrid deed, we of course abstained from any
observation. As it was doubtful whether the husband
committed the crime, or the wife herself in a fit of derange-
ment, we shall give the substance of the evidence before
the, Mayor, as Coroner. This ill-fated man had been,
previous to marriage, on terms of intimacy with his wife
the result of which was a child, now sixteen months old.
Her friends interposed, promised a fortune, and they got
married. This fortune not being paid led to many a col-
lision, and repeatedly to blows. On Monday last they dif-
fered, and he beat her. He and his brother lived in ad-
joining houses on the small road, or borheen, opposite
O'Connell's brewery. On Tuesday morning he proceeded
to his work, at Mr. Russell's store, where he was employed
as cutter. At nine o'clock he went home to his breakfast,
which happened to be five minutes late, for which he abused
her, and, it appeared, with a razor inflicted the mortal
wound ; after which he went into his brother's house and
changed part of his working dress lor that of Sunday,
which was subsequently found by Serjeant Moore drying
opposite to the brother's door ; and what confirmed the guilt
of Hayes as the murderer, and of the brother and sister
as accessories after the murder, was, that the right sleeve
of the coat and shirt had been quite wet, after being
washed, while the other parts were all dry. On changing his
clothes he hastened back to work, where he remained until
arrested. He had not been long gone, when the unfortu-
nate woman rushed out all bloody, and ran about 60 yards,
when she fell. Some persons came up, to one of whom
she said, " Maurice murdered her." She then became ex-
hausted, lost her speech, and fell back. A car being.
promptly procured, she was removed to the County Infir-
mary, where she recovered her speech, and again said, in
the presence of Mr. Sands, that " Maurice killed her ;" in
fifteen minutes after she expired. But to return to the in-
fant. The sister-in-law stated, that se ran into the house,
and saw the child " sprawling on the floor all covered with
blood," which on taking up, she washed off with the sleeve
of the shirt.

Another neighbour deposed that she (the neighbour)
was the first person who took up the child, and that there
there was no blood on its face, but that it was on the in-
side cap, the outside having been previously taken off and
thrown into some water.

The husband denied committing the act, and endeavoured
to persuade the people that it was the wife herself that cut
her throat.

The surgeon who examined the wound declared that it
was not only impossible for any person to inflict such a
wound upon themselves, but that even a second person
could not do it while the parties were standing ; there-
fore, it was evident that the wound was inflicted while she
lay on the floor.
The Jury after two days' investigation, returned a ver-
dict of Wilful Murder against the husband ; and a verdict
of being accessaries after the murder, against the brother
and sister-in-law. . _

We refrain from giving expression to our feelings of
horror at the awful murder, as its sanguinary authors are
now within the reach of justice.

On Monday se'nnight, as Mrs. Whitmore, residing
at Bremhill, Wilts, was driving herself in a pony-chaise to
Chippenham, accompanied by her daughter, on descending
Derry-hill, the animal took fright, when both ladies wero
thrown out, and Mrs. Whitmore unhappily killed on the spot.
Miss Whitmore escaped unhurt.

The celebrated esplenade at Weymouth is about to
be extended along the base of Greenhill, an improvement
which, when completed, will render this unique marine walk
nearly a mile and a half long.
