CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-&pt. 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 extremely
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 premeditation.
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
prisoner 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 had a duty to perform to the Crown ani to the coun-
try. "The 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 olz tjia groun4 that Lto went home without

MANCHESTER MEETING—FRIDAY, SEPT. 27.
This meeting commenced yesterday, under auspices fully
equal to those of any former year ; the company assembled
in the stands and on the course was as numerous as ever.
The large number of horses which have lately run at Don-
caster, and the variety of localities in which they were re-
quired this week, added to the rest necessary for many of
those going to run at Newmarket in the week to come, has
necessarily reduced the fields. Upon the whole the lessee
has reason to congratulate himself on the success of his
meeting, with regard both to the financial department and
to the quality of the racing, of which we give the particulars
below. A few bets were made on futureevents, but nothing
occurred worthy of particular remark.
The Chesterfield Handicap of 5 sovs each, with 50 added,
for two -yr-olds. Winners extra. The second saved her
stake. Three-quarters of a mile. 16 subs.

Mr. Cheadle's Fazio, Bst ,
Betting-4 to 1 agst the Sister to Stafford filly, 3to 1 agst
Silkstone, 5 to 1 agst Tommy Jones, and 6 to 1 agst Forester.
At the third attempt the flig fell, ant the lot got off in
compact order. Tommy Jones rushed to the front almost
immediately and made the running, followed by Silkstone,
Forester, and the Sister to Stafford filly, to the entrance to
the straight. Here the last-named filly took second place,
but never fairly reached Tommy Jones, who won very easily
by a length and a half; Forester was third, four lengths
from the second; Silkstone fourth ; and the others beaten
off.

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:
