MURDER AND HIGHWAY ROBBERY 12f

STAFFORDSHIRE.

A most atrocious and cold-blooded murder and
highway robbery was committed on Saturday
morning last, near Abbots Brumley, in this county,
on the person of Mr. Win. Charlesworth, a respec-
table farmer, residing at Ridware, near that place.
Friday, the 22nd, was the day •for holding
the annual cattle fair at Abbots Bromley, and the
deceased, who was about 60 years of age, attended
it for the purpose of business, having, it is
supposed, a large sum of money in his possession.
Late at night he was drinking at the Coach and
Horses Inn, in company with a good many per-
sons, amongst whom were two young men named
Charles Brown and George Jackson,. natives of
Abbots Bromley, and an itinerant musician known
in the locality by the soubriquet of " Du!cimer
Jack."

About one o'clock in the morning Brown and
Jackson left the house, in company with the musi-
cian, and proceeded along the turnpike-road leading
towards Ridvare (which is the high road from Ut-
toxeter to Lichfield) ; when about fifty yards from
Abbots Bromley, they all sat down by the road
side, when Jackson used some threatening language
in speaking of Charlesworth, who was about to
leave the public-house when they came away. On
observing some one coming down the road, Jackson
and Brown run further on, and the musician re-
turned to the house, meeting Mr. Charlesworth on
the road ; this was the lag time he was seen alive
—except by his murderers--as shortly after four
o'clock his lifeless body was found on the road, his
pockets emptied, and his brains literally strewed
about. A large hedge stick was found near his
body, with 'which it is supposed the murder had
been accomplished.
Information was immediately given to Edward
Etheridge, the police officer stationed at Abbots
Bromley, who, after a few inquiries, proceeded to
the Coach and Horses inn, where he found Jackson
sitting. On examining his clothes, large spots of
blood were found on the sleeves of his jacket, and
on asking him how they came there he said he had
hit his nose by a fall and made it bleed, and that
he was at home and in bed by ten o'clock. Directly
after Brown came in, and on examining his jacket
similar marks of blood were found. They were then
both taken into custody, and removed to the police I
station, where Etheridge was joined by Inspector

ATTEMPT AT MURDER.

An attempt at murder was yesterday made at
Witham, Essex, under the following circumstances :
—A young woman named Freeborn, cook to Mr.
James Upson, farmer in the parish named, became
" engaged" to a young man named Charles Finch,
who was then working at a farm in the neighbour.
hood of Kelvedon. Soon after the commencement
of this engagement he went out to the Crimea to
join the Army Works Corps, or as a " navvy,"
and but recently returned to the neighbourhood.
In the meantime it seems the young woman had
formed an attachment in some other quarter,
which appears too likely to cost her her life. A
few minutes after three yesterday she left her
master's house for the purpose of proceeding
to the parish church, distant about half a
mileandso far as her own statement can be
understood, had not proceeded many yards, before
she saw Finch sitting on the bank, much to
her surprise, for she had not seen bim since
his return, and indeed believed him to be
in London. He waited until she was quite
close to him, then suddenly sprung upon her,
threw her down in the ditch, and with a razor cut
her throat, without uttering a single word. He
then made off ; but apparently fearing he had not
fully accomplished his purpose he returned a few
minutes afterwards, and made a second incision,
and then immediately made. off. The poor girl
must have been very soon found, for about 3.30 a
messenger arrived at the Witham police station.
The constables, with the exception of one, were at
the parish church ; they were, however called out
during the service, causing, as may be supposed, no
small consternation among the congregation, and,
with Mr. Superintendent Cooke, of the Essex con-
stabulary, were speedily on the spot, Mr. Thomas
Tomkin, a medical gentleman, being already in at-
tendance. The young woman, who is about 24
years
ofovd age,e and bears a respectable character, be-
ing to her master's house, search was im-
mediately commenced in the woods, and in a few
hours Finch was captured by a labouring man
named Green as he was attempting to escape from
the wood. Police-constable Medley, who was near,
took him in charge, and by 7 o'clock in the evening
he was lodged in a cell at the Witham police sta-
tion. The windpipe is completely severed, but the
main arteries have escaped ; so that there is some
chance of the poor woman's recovery.

THE OATH OF SUPREMACY.

The Earl of WICKLOW called the attention of their
lordships to a petition presented by the noble and
learned lord on the woolsack on Friday last from a gen-
tleman who had been appointed to a magistracy in the
county of Hertford, but from conscientious scruples
could not accept such appointment, in consequence of
his objection to take the oath of supremacy stating that
the Pope had not any jurisdiction, spiritual or temporal,
within the realm, he believing that the Pope did exercise
a spiritual jurisdiction over a certain portion of her
Majesty's subjects. He (Earl Wicklow) was not surprised
at such objection being made. It was stated that those
who took the oath, were in effect swearing that they
were members of the Church of England. A. bill had
been introduced a few days ago, to alter the oaths taken
by members of Parliament, and to his great astonishment,
h• found the oath was still retained. He trusted that
the Government would reconsider the subject and ex-
punge the objectionable words. He begged to ask the
noble lord on the woolsack whether he could hold out
any such hope. If he could not he should feel it his duty
to oppose the bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said the course pursued
by the noble earl was irregular. The proper time to
consider the objections of the noble earl would be when
the bill was uuder their lordships' consideration. The
noble earl could then move any amendment he thought
proper.
The Earl of WICKLOW said he expected just such
an answer as he had received. He, however, would re-
mind their lordships that the bill would most likely come
up at a period of the seQsion when it would,be utterly im-
possible to consider it properly.
DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES BILL.
Lord LYNDHURST said, before the house went into
committee, he wished to make a few observations re-
specting the bill. There was one preliminary
to be gone through in respect to the present
state of the law of divorce, to which he
had the strongest objections, he alluded to actions for
criminal conversation. An amendment had been made
in the bill to abolish the objectionable proceeding, but
the noble and learned lord who bad embodied the
amendment had put it in such a shape as to make such
a provision more objectionable than the existing state of
the law. There was a strong feeling in favour of entirely
abolishing these actions, anoine earnestly urzed the noble
and learned lord at once, and for ever, to abolish those
objectionable proceedings.

EDUCATION.

Sir J. PAKINGTON gave notice that early after
Whitsuntide he should bring before the house the pre-
sent state of education in England and Wales, and that
he should found certain resolutions thereon.
LEGAL EDUCATION.

Mr. WARREN asked the Attorcey-General whether
her Majesty's Government had any intention, during the
present session, to introduce a measure founded on tha
report of the commission issued to inquire into the sub-
ject of legal education ?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL after referring to the
issue of a commission two years since, on the subject of
legal education, said he regretted to find there was a di-
°mon amongst the various Inns of Court relative to the
commission report, and that therefore no bill would be
introduced this session. Probably a bill would be in-
troduced next session.
STIRGEONS OF 'MILITIA. REGIMENTS.
Colonel GREVILLE asked the tinder Secretary for
War whether it was the intention of the Government to
issue pay to the surgeons of militia regiments who had
been called upon by the War Department to reside at
the headquarters of the pet manent staff, for the purpose
of taking medical charge of the officers non-commis-
sioned officers, and thelr families ; and, if so, at what
rate 1
Sir J. RAMSDEN said that pay was issued to the
surgeons of militia regiments residing at the head-quar-
ters of the regiments, at the rate as fixed in the militia
regulations of 1854.

revenue not more than 2001. yearly each,
producing not more than 1001.,. 36 producing not morees
than 201., and 13 producing only 51. or less than 5
Yearly, each. He asked the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, whether it was the intention of the Govern-
ment to consider the expediency of abolishing any of
these duties, in the interests of commerce, and for far-
ther simplifying the Tariff of Customs duties ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that in the main there would be no objection to the
ie-
troduotion of a bill for the abolition of the dues re-
ferred to.

BRITISH GUIANA.
Mr. CHEETH.A.M asked the Secretary of State iv:
the Colonies if he had received any communication from
B:itich Guiana, complaining of the difficulties which at
present existed in obtaining an adequate supply of
Immigrant labourers for that colony ; and, if it was the

intention of her Majesty's Government to take any steps
wi' h reference to the same ?
Mr. LATziOUCHERE said that the Government
would do everything to increase the supply of labour in
these colonies.
THE MEDJIDIE ORDER.

Mr. LAURIE asked the Under Secretary for War,
whe❑ the rkmainder of the Order of the Medjidie would
be distributed to the army ?
Sir J. RAMSDEN said that he hoped this order
would be ready for distribution within a few days. He
cuuld not mention the exact day.
