CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—Sept. 27.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Byles.)
THE ALLEGED MURDER IN WESTMINSTER.

William Maloney, 40, labourer, was indicted for the
wilful ;murder of his wife, Mary Maloney, on the 2d of
September.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Clarke and Mr. Orridge prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh
defended the prisoner.
Mr. Clark having stated the case against the prisoner,
called several witnesses, whose evidence appeared in our
impression of yesterday.
Mr. Sleigh addressed the jury in defence of the prisoner.
The learned Judge, in summing up, said he thought the
fact of the prisoner going out of doors, coolly surveying the
blood on his shirt sleeves while his wife was in the agonies
of death, told very much against him. The fact of the
blood being on the right hand sleeve of the shirt was also a
circumstance against him. His lordship complimented the
surgeon upon his strict impartiality, and adverting to the
opinion he had expressed that the wound might have been
suicidal, said it was certainly a point upon which the de-
fence might properly rely. The jury would take the knife
with them when they retired, and would then be able to
come to a conclusion whether or not it was a self-inflicted
wound. His lordship saw nothing to invalidate the evi-
dence of Saunders, although his conduct was extreme/y
singular in giving no information on the spot.
The jury retired at a quarter to five and returned exactly
at five, and gave as their verdict that the prisoner was
guilty of killing his wife without l remeditation.
The learned Judge said they must answer the question,
was he or was he not guilty ?
The Foreman asked the learned Judge whether they
might return a verdict of manslaughter if they thought the
,
priboner had no intention of mnrdering his wife ?
The learned Judge said he saw no evidence to warrant
such a verdict. The jury must say guilty or not guilty.
They bad a duty to perform to the Crown ani to the coun-
try. '1 he case was entirely in their hands. Juries were the
law—the law itself was only an abstraction.
The jury again retired. After the-lapse of 10 minutes,
the learned Judge sent for them, and after he had pointed
out to them the difference between murder and man-
slaughter, they found him guilty of murder, recommending
him to mercy on the ground that he went home without

Mr. Osborne's Weasel, 5 yrs, Bst 71b (Challoner) 6
Mr. R. Walker's D. U., 2 yrs, Est
Betting-7 to 4 agst Harriett, 3to 1 agst Weasel, 7to 1
agst Whitendale, and 10 to 1 agst any other.
After several unsuccessful attempts the lot got away
together, with the exception of North Lancashire, who lost
start. Weasel having the lead cut out the work, followed
by Reverie, the favourite, and Whitendale to the Cliff turn,
where Harriett joined the leader, and shortly afterwards
went to the front, followed by Whitendale. Halfway in the
distance North Lancashire, who had recovered his lost
ground, drew up to the pair, passed Col. Towneley's colt at
the stand, but failed to catch the favourite, and was beaten,
after a good race, by a neck; Whitendale was a length from
North Lancashire, and Miss Mary a bad fourth.
The Manchester City Handicap of 100 sovs, added to a
Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, for 3-yr-olds and upwards;
winners extra; the second received 10 sovs out of the
stakes. 2 miles. 14 subs.
Mr. Alexander's Oldminster, 3 yrs, 7st 51b (Doyle) 1
Col. Towneley's Doefoot, 3 yrs, Est 101b....(Hardcastle) 2
Mr. Buckley's Wynnstay, 3 yrs, Est 121 b .... (Whiteley) 3
Mr. Hobson's North Wold, 3 yrs, sst 81b (Carroll) 4
Betting-5 to 4 agst Doefoot, 6to 4 agst Oldminster, 4to
1 agst Wynnstay, and 10 to 1 agst North Wold.
The favourite made play, followed by Oldminster, Wynn-
stay,and North-Wold to the three-quarter post,where Wynn-
stay went in front, waited upon by Doefoot and Oldminster to
the Cliff turn. They then closed up, and ran together to the
stand, where the favourite once more showed in the van,
Wynnstay lying second, Oldminster third, and North Wold
bringing up the rear, On reaching the three-quarters of a
mile starting-post, Wynnstay again went in advance, Doe-
foot and Oldminster, side by side, lying close up. At the
distance Wynnstay gave way, beaten, leaving the lead with
Doefoot, who was headed by Oldminster half way up the
distance, and beaten after a good race by a length ; there
were two lengths between the second and third, and North
Weld was a bad fourth.

malice, and that something must have occurred to provoke
him.

Mr. Sleigh hoped it would be recorded that the jury had
returned a verdict of guilty, without malice.
The learned Judge said he could not attend to the appli-
cation.

The prisoner said.—" I am an innocent man."
The learned Judge then sentenced him to death, stating
that the recommendation of the jury would be forwarded
to the proper quarter.
