COMMITTEE OF SELECTION.

TRIAL OF BACON AND HIS WIFE.

(Old Court,—Before Lord Campbell and Mr. Justice
ere: sr.vell.)

Thoruazt Fuller Bacon and MartLa Bacon his wife,
were again placed in the dock this morning, charged
with the murder of their two children.
At the wish of the jury, Mrs Poarson and ethers were
recalled, and, in answer to questions put by Lord Camp-
bell, said they bad no recollection of having seen the
children on Sunday, the 28th of December last.
Mr. Sleigh then rose to address the jury on behalf of
Mrs. Bacon, and said in doing so he shonld occupy their
attention but a few minutes. The first question for them
to consider was, whether the fema;e was concerneti in
the commitment of this murder.

Colonel W. PATTEN informed the house that owing
to the pressure of private business the Committee of
Selection would have to abandon the precedent of for-
mer sessions in requesting members to state what period
would be most convenient to them to attend to the
Private Bill Committee, but, at the same time, they
would be ready to attend to any representation mem-
bers might wish to make on the suti,ct. (Rear, hear.)
PRIVATE BILLS.

The dropped private bills were passed through their
various stages up to that at which they stood prior to
the dissolution of Parliament.

JUDGMENTS, EXECUTION, &c., BILL.
Mr. CRAUFORD moved the second reading of this
bill. He said it had been his miefortune to have this
bill ❑nder his care for four years without being able to
carry it through the house. Nevertheless, ho was deter-
mined to proceed with it, and he hoped ultimately to be
successful. The bon. and learned gentleman then
entered into the details of the bill, which were fully dis-
cussed last session, the principle of which was to
make judgments obtained in one country available in
either England, Scotland, or Ireland, instead of mak-
ing it necessary, as now, for a creditor to sus
his debtor only in the country in which he resided. It
was high time that such absurdities should be abolished
from our laws.
Mr. J. EP/ART seconded the motion.
Colonel FRENCH said the bill was opposed from a
belief that it was not a bill to
,facilitate the recovery of
debts, but one to engraft on England and Ireland the
"barbarism" of the Scottish laws. He moved the second
reading of the bill this day six months.
Mr. BLAND seconded the amendment. It was
looked upon with suspicion and distrust by the Irish,
who considered a harsh use might be made of it as
against themselves—(hear, hear,)—and allo that the
balance of convenience was against them. (Hear, hear.)
One reasonable objection to the bill was that it would
tend to centralise all the legal business of Ireland in
Dublin. He condemned the bill as uncalled for.

Lord Campbell—l thought, Mr. Sleigh, the first
question to consider was the state of the prisoner's mind.
Mr. Sleigh—Precisely, my lord ; but in the event of
of the jury deciding the affirmative that she was con-
cerned, then it would become their duty to consider the
state of mind she was in et the time. He contended
that it had been abundantly show❑ during the present
interrogation that she was a person of unsound mind.
At the time of giving birth to her last child her mind be-
came seriously affected, and up to October last she had
been the inmate of a lunatic asylum. Such being the

case, would it be sate to convict her of the heinous crime
of murdering her two infant children. He trusted they
would take into their consideration the whole of the con-
duct o! the unhappy woman, and also the evidence of the
medical men that bad been celled for the prosecution, be-
cause he felt if they did so they could come to no other
conclusion than that the was a person of unsound mind,
and therefore not accountable for her actions.
Mr. Metcalfe, for Bacon, i❑ addressing. the court, said
he felt he laboured under great disadvantage in defend-
ing a man who had been held up as an object of scorn
by the whole of the public press. He would be one of
the last to interfere with the liberty of the press, but
the conductors of the public journals ought to be careful
how they inserted paragraphs which endangered a man's
life. But there was still a power left to protect an un-
offending man, and that was justice. He felt that Mr.
Bodkin bad conducted his case with such fairness as to
merit his gratitude and thanks. With respect to the
evidence that had been placed before them,
how far did it affect the male prisoner ?
Was it at all probable that a person who had made up
his mind to commit a crime as horrid as the one they
were now investigating, would not have taken steps for his
own escape ? but the prisoner had done nothing of the
sort ; he had acted in a manner which, under all the cir-
cumstances of the case, proved that he was innocent of
the crime of which he was accused. There was not evi-
dence to show that this was a concocted murder between

Mr. AYRTON said it was a retnarkaid,. thing, that

this bill was opposed by all the Irish members, whilst it
seemed by inference that it was not opposed by the Eng-
lish members, and the reason he suggested for it was,
that gentlemen in Ireland came very much to England,
but that Englishmen did not go much to Ireland. He,
however, went to Ireland once a year, and he assured
the houe that he had as much prejudice against the
bill as any person who came from Ireland. (Hear,
hear.) He condemned discussing this bill on
prejudices, and he proceeded to state that the question
was whether this bill was one of real law reform or not.
He considered it was not, and in reference to a codifica-
tion of our laws he thought this a proceeding in
the wrong direction. The honourable and learned
gentleman then entered into the details of
the bill with reference to the mode of procedure under
it, and stated his objections to them, f xpressing a belief
that this bill would rather tend to complicate than sim-
plify the law.
Mr. M‘MATION opposed the bill on the ground
that it was in direct violation of the established princi-
ples of law and jurisprudence. The proper course was
to assimilate the law of Scotland to England, rather than
the law of England to Scotland, as was proposed by
this bill, and he proceeded to show the anomalies of the
Scotch law which this bill would enforce in England
and Ireland.

the two prisoners. Was it at all likely, that if he had
contemplated the murder of his wife and cbildron, he
would have gone to Mrs. Monroe's on the Sunday pre-
vious to the discovery of the murder, and solicited her
to come and remain with his wife while he was from
home ? He said be would not. And it was entirely owing
to the circumstance of Mrs. Monro, unfortunately, not
being able to comply with his request earlier than she
did that the murder had been committed by the wife the
moment she was left alone. The evidence of Cook, the
policeman, of itself was conclusive evidence that the
female prisoner had committed the murder. It would
be recollected that in his evidence he said there were
spots of blood in front of the drawers in the bed-room,
upon which stood a looking-glass. Now what could be
inferred from this but that the female prisoner had in-
flicted the wounds on her throat by her own hand, and
that she had stood before the glass in order that she
might not cut too deep. It was impossible to
believe that she would have consented to her
husband making the cuts on her throat in order to
allay the suspicion. It had been clearly proved that
the unfortunate woman wag a person of unsound mind,
and it was in one of the paroxysms of the malady that
she had committed the murder. He could not deny
that Bacon in the course of investigation into the
murder uttered many untruths, but his state of mind,
his anxiety to save his wife must be taken into con-
sideration, for the whole of the evidence proves that he
was much attached to her. Then it had been given in
evidence that blood was found on a certain pair of trousers,
but the medicalman who had been called to prove the fact,
had admitted that other substances would produce simi-
lar marks. The learned gentleman then went through
the other parts of the evidence, and contended there was
nothing to fix the guilt of the murder upon his unfortu-
nate client. He concluded his remarks by saying he felt
confident the jury would take the same view of the case
that he had done, and by their verdict fully acquit him of
the crime laid to his charge.

Mr. NEATE supported the bill.
Mr. WHITESIDE opposed the bill, and entered at
some length into its details, pointing out the objection-
able points.
Mr. MALINS supported the second reading of the
bill. He did not consider that the objections raised
against the measure touched its principles.
The LORD ADVOCATE said that the objections to
the bill appeared to be based on the defects of the Scotch
law. This was not a Scotch measure, but one of general
jurisprudence, and it had received the approbation of
Lord Brougham and all English lawyers. He defended
the Scotch law from the charges that had been brought
against it, and said that, so far from the Scotch system
being a barbarous one, it was built on the old Roman
law, and the feudal law of Europe, and was transferred
from France into that country. He saw no objection to
the house reading this bill a second time. Many of the
objections raised against it could be bettor discussed in
committee.

Mr. NAPIER said the Scotch law was only known
in Ireland as a "foreign law," and that, he thought,
would be a defect in this measure, because by the bill
they would have to give effect to the Scotch law in Ire-
land. This bill, if passed, would be most injurious to
trade, because it would afford means for collusion and
fraud.

Mr. HADFIELD regretted that Irish members
should oppose this measure. He was convinced that it
would prove more beneficial to Ireland than to
England and n'cotland. He approved of the principle
of the bill, which was peculiarly calculated at this time
more than any other to produce beneficial effects.
Mr. STEWART supported the second reading.
The house then divided, when the numbers were—
For the•second reading 137
Against it
Majority for the second reading--38
The bill was then read a second time, and ordered
to be committed on Wednesday.

Lord Campbell then commenced his summing up of
the evidence, and in doing so, said he had no other ob-
ject but that truth might prevail and justice be vindi-
cated. He trusted they would be entirely guided in
their decision by the evidence that had been laid before
them, and that they would dismiss from their minds any
accounts they might have heard or read. As far as the
woman was concerned he thought they would have very
little to consider, for the in idence went evidently to show
that she was concerned in the murder, and the next
question they would have to consider was the
state of her mind. She seemed to have been
deprived of her reason by the visitation of
God, and did not know right from wrong. She had
threatened the lives of her dearest relatives, and they
had it also in evidence that she had been confined in a
lunatic asylum, and there was reason to believe
that she was not cured of the malady when she
was taken from the institution in October ; this
was quite evident from the fact that had been proved
in evidence, viz , that her husband was anxious that she
should not be left alone with the children, and all the
witnesses for the prosecution concurred with one voice
that she was not a person of sane mind, as her conduct
showed. Under these circumstances they might very
properly return a verdict of acquittal—the result of
which would be that she would be placed under proper
treatment until God pleased to restore heroonsciousness.
With respect to Thomas Bacon, no motive for the death
of the children had been shown on his part. On the con-
trary, it was proved that he was extremely fond and
attached to his children, also that he was in a comfort-
able situation and earning his bread by honesty and in-
dustry. There was nothing like direct evidence, and the
scheme that had been raid to have been concocted seemed
still more improbable. Such being ,the case, it would
be their duty to see whether the circumstantial evidence
was strong enough fee them to act on. If they thought
it was so, then he would remind them that circurnrtan-
tial was quite as strong as direct evidence. If, with the
whole of the facts before them, they shovl I be of opi-
nion that they were inconsistent with the innocence of
Thomas Bacon then they would return a verdict accord-
ingly. His lordship then proceeded to read the whole of
the evidence, and said the jury would remark there was
nothing to prove there was any person present but Mrs.
Bacon when the murder was committed. The letter

written by Mrs. Bacon, in which she accuses the male
prisoner of the crime, would not be taken as evidence
against Thomas Bacon ; the jury must treat it as the pro-
duction of an insane person and unworthy of belief. His
lordship having finished reading the evidence,
The jury retired to consider their verdict, and, after
an absence of a hour, returned a verdict of not guilty
against Thomas Bacor, and a similar verdict against
Mariha Bacon, on the ground of insanity,
Lord Campbell said he felt it his duty to say be en-
tirely concurred in the verdict of the jury. Whatever
crimes the prisoner Thomas Bacon may have com-
mitted, he felt confident he was entirely innocent
of the charge of which they had just acquitted
I him. It would be a source of satisfaction to
the jury to know that since he (the learned judge)
had been absent from the court he had been informed
that the female prisoner bad confessed to the chaplain
of the gaol that she alone bad committed the murder.
(Sensation.)
The other indictments against the prisoner wore with-
drawn.

The chief constable of Stamford was in waiting with
a warrant to arrest Thomas Bacon on the charge of
murdering his mother.

MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—Two highly inter-
esting figures have just been added to this popular col-
lection of wax models. They represent her Royal High-
ness the Princess Royal and the Prince of Prussia. The
princess is attired in an elegant blue silk dress, trimmed
with white and pearls, and her head ornamented with a
chaplet of white roses and pearls. The figure of her
Royal Highness is beautifully constructed. The Prince
is represented in a dark blue military uniform, with
silver lace, and is most life-like in appearance.
SUICIDE OF A LADY BY POISONING.—An elderly
maiden lady named Martin, who resided at Hcavitree,
near Exeter, committed suicide by taking essential oil of
almonds on Monday. As the deceased did not appear
at her usual time in the morning, one of her family went
into her room and found her lying on the floor. Dr.
Madden, surgeon, of Heavitree,was immediately sent for,
but on his arrival lie found that life was extinct. At ,•a
coroner's inquest, held on Tuesday, evidence was ad-
duced to show that the deceased bad for some time
been in a low, desponding way, and. the jury returned a
verdict of "Temporary

session, which arrived at its second reading when Par-
liament was dissolved.
