THAMES.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY` EVENING, AU G UST 3, 1861.

THE MURDER IN HOLBORN.

CORONER'S INQUEST-(THIS DAY).

The inquiry into the circumstances attending the death
of Mrs. C):';3% to:'1: thiB arJrning at the Archer
pubiie-huue, :',:rVlUii-611CL.:i, very nearly uppohiite, the pre-
mises in which the murder was committed.

The appearance of the body, on being viewed by the jury,
was sickening to a degree. It seemed as if the man had
placed his left hand on her head and made a terrible wound
on the throat, cutting from left to right. The body is in a
sitting position as far as it is possible to be, as it appears
the woman sank down instantly she received the blow into
a large basket, such as that used by hawkers of poultry,
viz., of an oblong form with a cross handle, and there ex-
pired. As the basket was standing in front of one of the
windows of the room which had the old fashioned seats to
them, the body of the woman is nearly upright, and the
head is lying back on the seat, exposing the whole trans-
verse section of the neck.

The evidence adduced agreed in every particular with the
account published yesterday in The Sun, the surgeon, who
had examined the holy of the unfortunate woman, stating
that death must have been nearly instantaneous.
The Coroner thought it absolutely necessary that the
man Cogan should be present during the investigation,
and as the injuries he had inflicted on himself were of so
serious a nature that that could not be the case for some
time, he thought the best course to adopt was to adjourn
the inquiry without naming any particular day on which it
was to be resumed. He would take care the jury should
have timely notice as to when they would be required to
attend. The jury assented to this arrangement, and
further proceedings were stopped for the present.

Cogan, the husband of the unfortunate woman, who,
standing charged with the murder, is in a very precarious
state in King's College Hospital, the surgeons entertaining
little hope that he will survive the injuries he has inflicted
upon himself.

Superintendent Durkin and Inspector Mackenzie have
the case in hand.

Cogan and his wife, it appears, were both addicted to the
use of ardent spirits, and but a few months ago she was
charged before the magistrates at Bow-street with stabbing
her husband, but Cogan refused to appear against her, and
she was discharged.

LA TV INTELLIGENCE—( This Day).

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before tho Lords Justices of Appeal.)

LIFE ASSOCATION OF SCOTLAND V. SIDDAL-COOPER V.

GREEN---NELSON V. SEAMAN.

This was a petition by the creditors of the mother and
daughter, tenants in tail of a fourth share of the property
under the will of Benjamin and Francis Norton, to obtain
a portion of the fund paid to their separate use.
It was opposed by the devises on several grounds, and in
particular that the deed of assignment executed by the
mother was without the consent of her husband and not
acknowledge by him;and that the daughter had no interest
under the order of court.

At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel on both
sides,

Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner
could not give any effect whatever t 9 either of the deeds
executed by the mother or daughter; the one being exe-
cuted by the mother without consent of her husband could
not convey anything, and the other by the daughter on
property over which she had no control. Their lordships
dismissed the petition without costs on condition that the
petitioners, by Monday, gave up all claim against the
daughter, and, if not, dismiss the petition with costs.

(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir R. T. Kindersley.)
REEVE V. WRITMORE.-MOTION FOR JUDGMENT.

This was a motion which resolved itself in effect into a
motion to rescind an order of Court, under contract of sale
by Mr. Reeve, receiver appointed by this Court, and the
Messrs. Lucas, the eminent builders, to take possession of
the chattels and machinery of the Craven Brickfield in the
county of Kent, and about two million and a quarter of
bricks, except 39,000 stock, sold to there in June last for
£2,641. The landlord claimed possession under a warrant
of ejectment for non-payment of rent by the former tenants.
His Honour, the Vice-Chancellor refused the motion
with costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A BRUTAL FELLOW.—Win. Smith, employed at Meux's
brewery, was charged as follows :
.. ,

John Purden, 5, Hanway-place, Oxfori-street, said that
on the previous night, about 10, he heard screams of
" Murder I" from the room above, and he heard the pri-
soner insulting some one in the street from the window.
He (witness) stepped out to see what was the matter, when
he heard some one say, " What are you trying to kill your
wife for ?" The prisoner replied, " What does it matter to
you whether I kill my wife or any one else ?" Shortly
after the prisoner came round with his shirt sleeves tucked
up, and knocked him against a potato bin while he was
speaking to a friend, the effect of the blow causitfg him
great pain in his stomach all night, and the blow was given
in the presenee of a constable.

Prisoner (taking off his coat, and his shirt falling about
him) said he was himself assaulted.

The witness said there was no more violence used towards
the prisoner than was necessary by the police.
The prisoner's wife, with tears in her eyes, said the pri •
Boner tried to throw a knife at her, with a threat, and it was
then she screamed " murder," and ran down stairs and hid
herself in a coal cellar.

MUTILATING LISTS OF VOTERS.—Two mischievous
boys named William Spilling, aged 13, of 54, Grafton-
street, Stepney, and Henry John Morris, 12, were brought
before Mr. Woolrych charged with defacing and tearing
the lists of county and borough voters affixed to the door of
Sion Chapel, Mile-end Old Town.

Mr. William Reid, the beadle of Mile-end Old Town, said
the register of county and borough voters nailed to the door
of Sion Chapel, and forming a somewhat bulky volume, was
destroyed on Thursday afternoon. He obtained another
copy of the register and affixed it to the door of the chapel,
and soon afterwards he saw the (prisoner Spilling or Shil-
ling pull one sheet out of the county lists. He had a
good deal of trouble with Sion Chapel, and ha had seen
many stupid boys pulling at the lists. The prisoner, who
is an educated boy, said ho was a clerk to a ship broker,
and had acted in ignorance, and was very sorry for what
he had done.

Mr. Reid put in a printed notice headed " Caution, Lists of
Voters," and warning all persons not to deface or tear the
lists under a penalty of 40s. The prisoner actually read the
notice before he tore a sheet out of the County voters' list.
There were 5,000 voters for the Tower Hamlets, and 500
voters for the county in the Hamlet of Mile-End Old
Town.

Mr. Woolrych said the prisoner was educated and ought
to have known better. The boy must be ignorant, indeed,
not to know the lists were affixed to the Church and Chapel
doors for the information of thousands of voters, who had
no other means of knowing whether their names were re-
gistered or not. The prisoner was liable to a penalty of
408 , which he mitigated to 2s. only.

THE LATE MURDRR OF A CONSTABLE IN THE
KING'S COUNTY.—A man named William Conroy, alias
Conrahy, upon whom suspicion had fallen of having been
concerned in the murder of Constable Lawler, of the Blue
Ball station, who, it will be recollected, was found murdered
in a field from a gunshot wound in the chest within a few
miles of Tullamore, has surrendered himself to the resident
magistrate of the district. Conroy absconded on the day
the body of Lawler was found, and the pursuit was very
close upon him in this and the Queen's County, and his

THE CASE OF THE BARON DE BODE.—Yesterday
the select committee o: the House of Commons, appointed
on the motion of the Hon. George Denman to inquire into
the long-pending claims of the Baron de Bode, brought
their labours to a close for the session. It was expected
that they would have made their report as to the validity of
his claim, but after considerable discussion it was deter-
mined not to offer any opinion as to the merits of the case,
but merely to report the evidence, and ask leave to be re-
appointed in the next session to renew the inquiry.

Peel has just been issued of all sums paid by the Imperial
Government to the Government of India for advances or
