THE SAILORS OF THE NORTH EAST PORTS.--SHIELDS,
Oct. I.—This day is the commencement of the winter
half-year in the ccal trade, and there was some fear lest
au unpleasantness might arise between the seamen and
the shipowners, or that a strike might occur ; but so far
each party has taken its separate course, and therd is
not much cause for alarm. The South Shields Ship--
owners Asecciation have intimated that its members
will cot pay mere than 4/. a voyage to' London and
Amsterdam ; 3/. 10s. per month in theßaitto and North'
American tredve ; 3/. per month in the Mediterraisan
and Black Sea trades, the four latter vith small stow.
The Sailors' Association have annourced that their scale
for the winter is 51. per voyage in the London trade,,
4/. per month in the Medittiranean• end Black Bes •:
trades, with small stores when Failing by the month.
The Shipowners'Aeso'ciation do not employ Union men,
and the Sailors' Association, whose members are all
able-bodied seamen, decline to sail with non-Union men.
The Shipowners' Association oily represents a portion
of the Shields owners, but whether those who do not
belong to the association will feel inclined to pay U. a
man a voyage more than the members of the association,
or whether the association can procure crews fit to navi-
gate vessels in the North Sea during thewinter months ..
at th-ir reduced scale—for they have so far paid the same
wages as thoso claimed by the Seamen's Association—
are questions that are 1 ksly to be soon settled. .

that a man had been stabbed by his wife in Coombe-
lane. I prcceeded to the house in which the prisoner,
Eliza
Snelling, lives, and there saw a large quantity of
blood in the doorway, in a pan, and in a bucket. The
prisoner was in a lower room. She said, "I'm -not -
going to run away." I went up stairs and saw her bus-
band, Jehu Snelling, lying in bed. I raw that he had a
very long cut, k trapped up, on the right aide of his face.
It extended from ti:e temple to the chin. Before I spoke

He said, very faintly, " Take my wife into custody for
attempting to murder me." That was all be said, and,
as he appeared sn very exhausted, I did not ask him
aly questions, I then came down tars and took the
prisoner into custody. On proceeding to the house a
e3oni time I received the knife, a small table one, from
the prisoner's daughter. On showing it to the prisoner
ere said, " That is the knife I did it with; I sharpened
it to clean a sheep's head..." I consider the man is in a
very dangerous state. On being asked if she had any-
th.ng to say, she stated that both she and her husband
were in fault, and if she had not stool in her own defence
she might have been murdered herself. The prisoner-was
then remanded till Friday nutte—Vterborne Toto•nal.

THE MURDER IN LEIGH WOODS,
CLIFTON.

BOURTON, FRIDAY MORNING.
The adjourned examination of witnesses in sup-
port of the charge of murder against John William
Beale was resumed this morning in the Board-room
of the Bourton union.
The prisoner was brought up from Taunton gaol,
and reached the Ashton station of the Bristol and
Exeter Railway about 10 o'clock, and was conveyed
thence to Bourton. Mr. E. M. Harris, solicitor, of
Bath, appeared to watch the case on behalf of the
accused.
The presiding magistrates were the Rev. H. Mire-
house (chairman), Sir J. Hare, Col. Burrowes,
_Messrs. Shortland, Mordaunt, Rockett, W. H. G.
Langton, M. P., J. H. Mirehouse, W. Miles,
M. P. ,
The prisoner's father and sister, who had come
over from Bath, were allowed to have an interview
with him before he was brought into court.
The Chairman inforvied Mr. Harris that the ma-
gistrates were satisfied upon consideration that the
shirt produced by the witness Payne was not stained
with the blood of the deceased woman, and that
therefore they should merely return the deposition
which had been taken, and give the prisoner's coun-
sel an opportunity of calling the witness if he
should think fit.

The evidence taken on the last occasion having
been read over, Mr. Harris xleclined to cross-
examine any of the 'witnesses.
In reply to Mr. Miles, George West, the under-
keeper, stated that the place where he first dis-
covered the blood was about two yards from the
place where the body was found ; this was a con-
cealed place under the rock, which he might have
passed several times without noticing the body had
not his attention been attracted by the blood. The
body had evidently been placed where it was found,
because the clothes were all smoothed down in
order. The object appeared to have been to con-
ceal the body.
Mr. Superintendent Jones's evidence having
been read over, containing a Ist of the articles of
clothing found on deceased, &c., the witness stated
in reply to the chairman that he bad discovered a
hat in Rownham wood, near the buttress of the
Clifton suspension bridge, on Sunday, the 20th ult.
The hat was not there on the previous day.
Mr. Lucas, surgeon, added to his former evi-
dence, that on the 19th Sept. it was impossible to
have identified the body, decomposition having set
in. Ihe only means which might lead ti identifica-
tion of the deceased were the teeth he had extracted,
and which were very peculiar both as regarded the
decay and the stopping with which the decayed
places had been filled. The peculiarity about the
teeth was such that it would have been noticed
during the life of the deceased. From the body
Raving been quite fresh when he first saw it on
Saturday, the 12th ult., and from the heat of the
weather, it could not have been dead more than two
or three days.
A deposition of Mr. Chadwick, magistrates'
clerk, embodyinc, the previous statement, was next
put in, but as it contained additional matter, on
the recommendation of Mr. Miles, M.P., the depo-
sition was rejected and the original statement was
adopted.
The depositions of Inspector Norris and of the
Daventry witnesses—Sausome, Payne, and Brans-
combe, having been read,
Charles Wallington deposed-.I am a railway
porter at the Freshford station of the Wilts and
Somerset Railway. I recollect seeing the prisoner
at the office at Freshford on the 9th ult. He asked
me the way to Mr. Bythesea's. I pointel out the
direction of the house to him. I saw Mr. 13ythesea's
butler the same day, who requested me to send for
the cook's boxes. I went there and fetched three
boxes ; they were each directed to " Mr. Beale."
I added to the directions, " Till called for." I
afterwards entered the boxes and forwarded them
to Bristol by the 8.45 p.m. train from Freshford.
Louisa Elizabeth Ford, examined by Mr. Miles

—I am housekeeper to Mr. S. W. Bythesea, of
Hill-house, Freshford, near Bath. I have known
Charlotte Pugsley for more than two years. She
was cook in Mr. Bythesea's service from the 27th
June to the 9th Sept., when she left. The prisoner
came to our house about 4 o'clock that afternoon.
Charlotte Pugaley brought him to my room and
introduced him. After shaking hands with me I
asked him to take a seat. I asked him where he
bad come from, and he said from Bath. I asked
him about his father and mother, and he said he
bad not seen them. I asked if he was not going to
see them before he left England ; and he told me
he was not, for they were not friendly. I have
known the prisoner more than two years. I
was in service with Charlotte Pugsley before
at Mrs. Admiral Western's, 8, River-street, Bath.
We were quite as sisters. We slept together at
Mrs. Western's, and we left together in Dec. last.
The prisoner had visited Charlotte Pugsley repeat-
edly at Mrs. Western's. The prisoner has told me
that he was going to be married to Charlotte Pugs-
ley. He was living at the time with Mr. Mogg,
near Park's cottage, about two miles and a-half from
Bath. When he cane to Frealiford he told me he
was going to be married to Charlotte Pugsley at
St. Mary's Church, Southampton, on the Saturday
after they left, and that Charlotte was going to
lodge with the clerk of the church till they were
married, after which they were going to America.
All this was said in the presence of Charlotte Pugs-
bey. I asked him where Charlotte was going to
sleep at Bristol, as he said they were going there
that night, and he told me he had taken lodgings
fur her near the railway station, and he was *ere
to sleep with his cousin, but he did not say
his cousin lived. I told him I thbught it would be
nearer and less expensive to go to Southampton by
the London line • he said he had business to tran-
sact in Bristol and he was bound to go that way.
He said they should leave Bristol about 5 o'clock
on Thursday afternoon, the 10th. He asked me if
I knew the church at Southampton. I told him
that I did, as I hal been there. I told him I did
not approve his not going to see his father and
niothtr, as no blessing attended children who were
not kind to their parents. He told me that they
cared nothine, about him, and he should not care
for them. fasked him how he had left his situa-
tion at Daventry, and he said his master and mis-

tres4 had :gone With their family to India about a
fortnight before, and had discharged all the servants

except the maid. After some time the prisoner left
the house with Charlotte Pugsley about half-past 6
the same evening. She had on a gray alpaca dress, a
speckled stray bonnet with drab riband edged with
green. I believe it was pink inside the bonnet.
She had a black fall with lace edge, a black
cloak trimmed with black braid. She carried a
green barege shawl on her arm. I paid her on the
Ist of September 3/. 15s. wages up to the 27th of
September. On the following Monday I paid her 9s.
board wages. She had taken some money out of the
Bath Savings' bank on the Saturday previous to her
going away. I was present when the boxes were
fetched. The prisoner had previously corded them
in the kitchen. I was present when Pugsley packed
the large box, and saw her put nearly all the
things in. I have since seen the box at the Bristol
Central Police-station. It contained nearly all the
things I had seen put in. Some of the things in the
'large box were her wedding things. (Inspector
Norris here produced the large box, which was
identified by the witness.) I saw this box packed. I
saw the prisoner cord it, and I saw it taken away.
Inspector Norris stated that the boxes contained
wearing apparel, books, and other things ; he found
the large one in the bedroom of the prisoner at
Badby-house, and the two others in the cellar.
Is.uisa Elizabeth Ford examined—There are only
two things in the three Loxes which I do not know
to belong to Charlotte Pugsley. (Superintendent
Jones here produced the clothes which were taken
off the deceased. They were also identified by the
witness Ford as having belonged to Charlotte Pugs-

ley.) The deceased told me the way her teeth were
stopped. I have seen the teeth extracted by Mr.
Lucas, and am satisfied they are the teeth of Char-
lot!e Pugsley.
By Mr. 1-16rris—I have not seen the teeth in the
body since her decease.
Ite-examined—When the prisoner was leaving
the house I asked her to write to me from South-
ampton ; she said she would, but the prisoner said
she would not have time bef ,re she left Southamp-
tl,ll, but she should w, its when they got to Ame-
lice. The prisoner and deceased both drank tea
together in my room before they left.
Aliery J4ne Kilson—l am a (Ireisin iker, residing
at b reshford. The grly alpaca dress now produced
to me was remade by me for Charlotte Puffsloy- on
the Ist of Septemi er. I mule some print dresses
