YESTERDAY.
(Before Mr. Justice Willes.)
TILE 'MURDER IN SOUTHWARK.

George Crane, 46, a ruffianly-looking fellow, described
as a labourer, was charged with the wilful murder of Ann
Carr, by kicking and otherwise brxitally ill-using her.
The prisoner NV RS what Is called an omnibus tout, and
he cohabited with the deceased woman it a house in
George-street, Southwark, and she passed as his wife. On
the 9th of January the deceased appeared to have come
home somewhat the worse for liquor, but otherwtie in
good health and spirits, and she was singing. She gent
to bed, and shortly afterwards the. prisoner came home,
and sent one of the lodgers for a pot of beer. After ho
had drunk some of the beer be went into the room where
the deceased was in bed, and almost immediately after-
wards the poor creature was heard to exclaim, "Father,
don't kick me, or you will kill me." On the following
morning the deceased complained of being in great pain
and dreadfully cold, but the prisoner left and went to iris
work as usual. The unhappy woman, after lingering a
very short time, expired ; and upon a post-mortem exami-
nation being made, it was found that her laody was almost
covered with bruises, her intestines: were very much in-
flamed, and one of them was ruptured, ; thesoinjuries were
undoubtedly the cause of death.
After the jury had been addressed by the counsel for the
prisoner,

The jury returned r verdict of manslaughter.
The learned judge senteuoed the prisoner to five years'
penal servitude.

NEW Courr.
(Before Mr. Justice Shed.)
THE WIFE STABBING AT PADDINGTON.

George Ringwood, 86, painter, was indicted for felo-
niously killing and slaying Grace Ringwood on the 9th of
January. The prisoner was also charged on the coroner's
inquisition with the like offence. • •
The evidence in this case disclosed these • facts :—The
prisoner said his wife (the deceased) had been married 15
year; and had issue nine. children, the prisoner being a
sober, industrious, and well-conducted man, while the de-
ceased was addicted to habits of drunkenness. On the
v
ening in question, about nine o'clock, the deceased en-
tered a beer-shop kept by a Mrs. liewson, in Dean-street,
Paddington, and she was then intoxicated. About half
an hour afterwards the prisoner came in, and for
some time everything went on peaceably. ' The, deceased
sang a song, and after that the prisoner began to speak of
a good contract ho had made that day, upon which the
deceased interfered, and in a most insulting way said to the
prisoner that a beershop was not the place in which to talk
of business matters, and she used most abusive language to
him, and called him a— thief. The prisoner bore this'
some time, but at last deceased threw a bottle at the pri-
soner's head, but by stooping he avoided the intended Flow.
The prisoner at last said, "I will put a stop to this," and
taking up a knife from the table rushed 'to the deceased,
and stabbed her in the neck. The blood (to use the lan-
guage of one of the witnesses) rushed out like water from
a tap, and her death was almost instantaneous. 'When the
prisoner saw the fatal effects of this act be became deeply
affected, and expressed the utmost contrition. He was
taken into custody, awl stated to Inspector Steer 'that Le,
knew what he had done, that it was done in the heat of
passion, and in order to protect himself.
The jury found him guilty, but recommended him to
mercy.

The learned Judge sentenced the Prisoner to fifteen
months' imprisonment.

NINE DAYS WITIIOUT FOOD.—Mr. Daniel Thwaite,
of Rock Ferry, has a small handsome dog, of the
King Charles breed, scarcely 12 months old. Last Friday
week the dog was missed. It appears that on that day
two men from the Birkenhead Gasworks were doing some
repairs at the gaspipes in Mr. Thwaite's house. In order
to get to their work they had to lift a board in the floor
of the bedroom. Whilst they wore repairing the pipes
the little dog was playing about the room. Before be-
ginning to work at the pipes the men turned the gas eft
at the meter, and after they had finished, but before they
had replaced the board in the floor, they went down-
stairs to turn on the gas again. It is supposed that
during the absence of the men on this errand the dog
made its way through the opening in the floor, and that
the gasfitters on their return replaced the board without
being aware that they had made the little fellow a prisoner.
This was about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, soon after which
the dog was missed. The family began to be troubled with
strange noises in the house, especially at night,
after they
had retired to bed. So incessant did the noises become, and
so alarmed were the children—as the scratchingsware very
loud under their bed—that Mrs. Thwaite determined to re-
move the bed to another room. On Sunday last the lady
went upstairs for the purpose of making arrangements for
the removal of the sleeping-place of the children, when, in
addition to the dreaded scratchings, she thought she heard
a sort of whining noise. The idea now struck Mrs.
Thwaite that her lost favourite might be the cause of all
their annoyance. The board in the floor was again re-
moved,to a skeleton, after a confinement of nine days and one
and there was found the poor poodle, 'worn almost
appeared . and, with careful
hour without food or drink of any kind. On Monday the
is expected soon to be quite m a Convalescent state
