COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

~J't,

18591'

.D.l; BY PRUSS'IC

Sittings in Banco.—(Before Lord Campbell, Mr.
Justice Wightman, Mr. Justice Erie, and Mr.
Justice Crompton.)
THE QUEEN V. THE REV. WILLIAM WALTER ROBERTS.
Mr. Sergeant Shee said in this case he had to
move the court to order the discharge of the Rev.
Air. Roberts, who had been in custody ever since
the day when this matter was last before their
lordships.
Lord Campbell—Has he been in custody not-
withstanding that he has entered into his own
recognisances?
Sergeant Shee—No, my lord. Mr. Roberts did
not enter into his recognisances.
Lord Campbell—Then, so far, there has been no
irregularity.
Sergeant Shee—Oh, my lord, lie don't complain
that there has.
Lord Campbell—Well, then, if Mr. Roberts has
not entered into 'recoguisances,, upon what do you
found your application ?
Sergeant Shee—Whk, although Mr. Roberts had
not entered into recognisances, others had 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 such was the
case. Mrs. Bonner's affidavit was dated this morn-
ing, and was as follows :—" I have this morning
left the child, Mary Anne M'llonnell, with her
father, James M‘Donnell." He had also a short
affidavit from the Rev. Mr. Robeets himself, which
he should read to the court. The learned sergeant
then read the affidavit, whi to the.follawiffr
,efee.44--ate4toberts declared that tfl retai• ]. made
by him to the writ of habeas corpus directing him
to bring up the body of Mary Anne M'Donnell, was
true in every particular, and was meant as a denial,
and not intended as an evasion of the allegation
that the said child was detained by him 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 ofthe return
to it—that at the same time he did not think it was
his duty after hehad 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 objectionslovoluntarilyrequiring information
as to the whereabouts of the daughter—that up to
Thursday last he did not know the place where the
child was ; and, therefore, that it was impossible
for him to have produced 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 perthitted
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 iuvesti•
gation ; but if there arc no such doubts, and the
child has now been restore to her father, I think
we shall be justified in allowing Mr. Roberts to be
discharged from custody, and in considering the
matter concluded.

Yesterday Mr. Waklev resumed ala inquest, which
was opened. formally by him on Saturday, at the
Castle public-house, in the. Holloway-road, relative
to the death of a young man named John A. C.
Ruddiest* the son of Mr. Huddiestein, a surgeon,
of Cornwall-road, Holloway, who was found dead
in a field between' Claremont-cottages and the Great
Northern Railway, on'the 26th inst. The deceased,
it appeared, had been 'brought up to the medical
profession, and had been with Dr. Bainbridge. He
purchased half an ounce of prussic acid at Hooper's,
Fall-mall East, where he was known through his
connection with Dr. Bainbridge, the greater part of
which he took to put an end to his existence. A
number of letters, books, and other articles were
found upon him when he was 'removed._to the dead
house, among them a, -letter addressed to the jury
that, should sit upon him, explaining why he com-
mitted the act of self-destruction, and. accusing his
father olnegligence. This letter was read -bv, the
jury in private, and:they decided that it was akin-.
able that its contents should not be.made public, as
it involved matters whollyextraneous to the inquiry
and did not bear Oen the question of the sanity of
the deceased. Mr. H. Coote and Mr. Mitchell'
made a post mortevz examination of the body hnd
head, and they could trace no sign of mental disease.
It was stated that the. deceased had slept in'the
New Cattle Market, and had only had a penny loaf
to subsist on for three days, and from duplicates
'found upon him it was evident he had been pledg-
ing such articles as only a person in the extrenfity
of distress_a_ould_so dispose --- •

Mr. I. N. Htiddleston, the father of the deceased,
was then examined. He said he was a surgeon, of
16, Cornwall•place, Holloway, and the deceased
ceased to reside with him about January,lBsB. He
left in consequence of his having carried a knife
with Nyhich he threatened to murder witness. They
were not on terms of affection at all. He last saw
him alive on the 23d of April, and having bed in
bodily fear he had consulted a professional gentle-
man (Mr. Lewis, who was now present watching
the case on his behalf) as to what steps should be
taken for his protection. He went to the police
court, where he was advised not to proceed then,
but in consequence of the alarm he felt he could not
receive the deceased into his house. In April he
had to call for the aid of thepolice. On the 11th of
that month deceased stopped
.his carriage in the
road. He used to see him about occasionally. On the
23d he threatened violence with a stick. As witness
' was passing down the road deceased rushed out
of some_ place brandishing a stick, and exclaimed,
"Now,- will you not speak to me ? will you speak ?"
Witness said, "After what has happened keep your
distance." . He then called a policeman, who pro-
tected him, and he went away. That was the lasts!
time he ever saw him alive.

deceased first threatened to murder him with a

stable door and let no one sleep there. At times

A solicitor, who attended to watch the case on
behalf of the mother and some creditors of the de-

him when he stopped the horse on the 11th of April
that he was starving with hunger. The witness
said he believed some expression of the sort was

Sergeant Shee—Thero 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
roturn 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 penitentite 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-
meat 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 bias been put tci'very coni3iderabie 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 Wightman—Undoubtedly Mr.
Roberts might have purged himself of this
contempt, but as at present he is iv contempt, it is
reasonable he should pay the costs on the condition
of his discharge.
Mr. Justice Crompton—lt is a matter 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 o.
habeas corpus.

THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT
RAMSGATE.

In answer to a juror, he said his (witness's) mother
had given deceased a meal's victuals now and then
when he said he was starving; he once lodged at
his mother's, and once he found him in the stable.
He did not exactly receive orders to turn him out,
but to prevent his coming in again. Mr. Huddle-
ston, as far as he knew, had always brought up his
son kindly until they quarrelled.
A Juror—And was not that in consequence of
the son visiting his mother ?
Mr. Lewis objected to the question, as it related
to matters that had nothing to do with the inquiry.
The Coroner thought the question was beyond
the issue.
The juror said there were all sorts of rumours
afloat, and if it were a falsehood that it was because
the son went to see his mother that Mr. Ifdddleston
had so treated him, it was only justice to him that
the question should be put and a denial given.
Mr. Huddleston volunteered to answer, but was
stopped by his solicitor.
Mr. Close was not allowed to state his reasons for
taking the deceased out of charity. Among the
papers found on the deceased was one apprising him
of a situation at £4O a-year, with board and lodg-
ing, which the Coroner said would go to show that
he had still some prospect when he committed the
rash act, as the letter was dated but a few days be-
fore he took the poison.
After a very lengthened inquiry 12 of the jury
agreed to a verdict " That the deceased died from
the effects of poison administered by his own hand,
but that there was no evidence to satisfy them as to
the state of his mind at the time."

HASTINGS.
A rifle club has been formed here. 'and numbers
already about 50. enrolled and equipped members.
A large number of yOung-Meit who are not able to
find-themselves in arms hive sent in their names
for election, and will be ballotted for in committee
as soon as the public subsCriptionS will allow of the
purchase of more rifles, &c:, for them. Most of the
members enrolled at present are equipping them-
selves at their own expense. The weapon adopted
is the Enfield. The uniform is of a slatish-gray,
coat,-cap, and trousers, all alike, with a little black
braiding on the collar and cuffs of the coat. The
cost of the whole, to those who are content with the
regulation edition of the Enfield, will beds follows:
Rifle:and bayonet,- £3 ss. ; waist-belt; sword-frog,
and ammunition bag. 12s. ; coat, cap, and trousers,
about £1 ss. ; making a total for equipment of
£5 2s. The rules are drawn up for the body as a
club for learning the use of the rifle. It will depend
on the nature of the future Government regula-
tions whether or not it willbecome a corps. £l2O
have already been subscribed.

IPSWICH.
Yesterday morning a meeting of the inhabitants
of this town was held in the Town Hall, in com-
pliance with a requisition, for the purpose oform-
ing a volunteer rifle club. The Mayor (Mr. J.
Head), being a member of the Society of Friends,
did not attend, but the chair was taken by Mr. J.
C. Cobbold, M.P. for the borough. There- was a
• •
numerous attendance.

Dr. CII,EVALLIER moved, as the first resolution :
"That it is expedient to establish a rifle chily.foriptswich
and its neighbourhood, out of which, or in. doilnectiou,with
which, companies of rifle volunteers' 4aall be fotmbd, accord=
ing to the War-office Circular of May.12.anc1.15..

was carricreTnanimously.
A committee was then appointed to carry out the
arrangements.
A vote of thank:to the chairman and three cheers
for the Queen closed-the meeting.

RAMSGATE, MONDAY.
Some additional particulars have just been
brought to tight 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-
lig effect. The deceased was a German named
Frederick, or Friedrich Mattern, and was known
in New York, where he has two brothc,rs 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
peered anxious to conceal during his stay in Eng-
land.

TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION

ISLEWORTH.
A meeting of the most influential inhabitants of
Isleworth, Spring Grove, and neighbourhood was
held at the Infant Schoolroom, Isleworth, on Satur-
day evening, for the purpose of taking into conside-
ration the pi)opriety of forming a volunteer rifle
corps for Isleworth and its vicinity. •
Major-General G. B. TREMENITERE having taken
the chair,

The following resolutions were passed unani-
mously :

WI2H AMERICA.

The question as to the immediate prospect of re-
establishing telegraphic communication with Ame-
rica will be added on Wednesday week. The
company are then to hold an extraordinary meet-
ing to submit the terms they have obtained from
the Government, and to see if £6oo,ooo—the re-
quired amount of new capital—can thus be raised.
It appears that the Government are ready to gua-
rantee a dividend of 8 per cent. per annum for 25
years, provided the cable is in successful operation
and capable of conveying 100 words an hour.
Also, that they will pay £20,000 per annum for
messages. The company, moreover, are to be
allowed to spend £20,000 out of the new guaranteed
capital in attempts to make the existing cable
available. They are likewise to continue to enjoy
the benefit of the original arrangement for a pay-
medt of £14,000 per annum from the United
States' Government. In return they are to sur-
render the exclusive right of landing cables on the
shores of Newfoundland. The directors consider
that these conditions should induce the share-
holders to subscribe the necessary amount, espe-
cially as the risks of the work will be greatly
reduced not only by the experience gained, but by
-
a variety of new precautions. They
, propose to
guard by a policy of insurance against accidents or
loss from the process of submerging the cable, and
also that the contract for its manufacture shall be
accompanied by provisions for its efficient electrical
working for a considerable period. The new capital
is to be in the form of preference shares of £5 each,
entitled to all the net profits of the
8 per cent., and to divide all furthereempany up to
the original shareholders. A r profits with
reconstruction of the
Board is at the same time to be effected, as well as
a reduction in the number of its members. Finally,
the directors point to the 'urgent claims of the
undertaking from its advantages in a political sense.
"If England," they remark, were compelled to
take up arms for the defence
of her colonies or her
commerce, its absence at such a crisis wotld be a
national disgrace,--a calamity the more bitter on
account of its easy prevention, considering the
perfect facility with which the work can now be
brought to completion, if a warm and public-
spirited effort be made."

On the 16th of March last the deceased purchased
a ticket at New York to go by the. steamship
Bremen to Southampton,n andhe sailed in her on
the 19th of the same
yoenkti month.

as a person of reserved manners, but not hypochon-
driacal nor subject to aberration of mind.
From the above 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 com-
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
his aim with sou
join t, and also of there being but one stab in the
body, leading direct to the heart. It was asserted,

sufficient to effect his object. The supposi-
tion that this a case of self-mutilation and
undoubtedly strengthened by the circum-
stance of the deceased having been a butcher. No

resolved to destroy himself,oll, and that he thenceforth

his identification. Isishand which would serve for
identity may probably oect in concealing his
have been to spare the feel-
ings of his parents.

Proposed by Mr. J. FARNELL, and seconded by
Mr. Justice HALLrBuRroN, M.P. (Sam Slick),
"That, in order to prevent the possibility of a successful
attempt being made to invade this country, it is essentially
requisite that volunteer corps should be established in
every part of the kingdom, and it is the opinion of this
meeting that a corps should be forthwith formed for this
district of the county of Middlesex."

THE EASTERN FISHERIES.—The mackerel fishery
ou the eastern coast has up to the present time been singu-
larly unprofitable. Although the season is advancing and a
considerable number of boats have beon sent out, the results
obtained have been exceedingly discouraging.

Proposed by Mr. H. G. DAY, and seconded by
Mr. 11. D. DAVIES, •
" That this district comprise the division of the county
of Middlesex called the Isleworth Hundred, including the
town and parish of Isleworth, Twickenham, Hounslow, and
Heston ; the corps to be united for general purposes, but
to consist of district companies from each place.
A committee was formed to make the requisite
arrangements. Many names were enrolled before
the meeting separated.

ber of seamen. Who offered themselves considerably exceeded this' total, . but ,thi services of only 100

sible with the business of the mercantile marine.
A considerable' number of volunteers has been

The whole of the shipwrights and the greater
part of the mechanics ordered to be hired at Ports-
mouth dockyard have now been entered. A defi-
ciency still exists in the number of labourers. The
