THE MUI: D EIZO US OUTRAGE IN THE

C'I1'1:

The following appeared in our Latest Edition of yesterday
evsnin,g:—

This morning Arthur Forrester Smith, aged 15, and Hec-
tor Augustus Smith, aged 13, brothers, were placed before
the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion House, charged with
"feloniously assaulting, on the Ist of May, iu the house
No. 2, Catherine-court, Seething-lane, Mary Ann Nuut.,
aged 63, a housekeeper, by striking her several blows on
her head with a wooden mallet, with intent to kill and
murder her ; also stealing front a box in the said house the
stun of ~C 2 Os. 64., her money."
Inspector Tilleock was the first witness called. Ho said
on Friday night he went to the house No. 2, Seething-
lane, and iu the passage he saw Mrs. Mary Ann Num),
the housekeeper. Her head, face, and hands were
covered with blood. She was sitting up, supported by a
constable. She htd severe cuts on her head, her nose was
broken, her eyes blackened and swollen, and the flesh on
her hands all cut off. He sent for a cab, and had her con-
veyed to Guy's Hospital.

Tha Lord ➢layor eithor of you boys wish to
any quostious ?

Both prisoners hung their hoads down and muttered
"so," crying at the same time.

Inspector Moss, detective, said that he went to Deacon's
Coffee-house, in the Strand, and from inquiries he
made he .went upstairs to one of the bedrooms. He
knocked at the door and it was opened by the younger
prisoner. Witness asked him his name. He said
Smith. 'Witness went into the room, where the
elder brother was lying in bed. He said that he
charged them with committing a murderous assault on
Mary Ann Nunn. Ile asked the elder prisoner if he knew
that person. lie replied "No ;oh no." Witness said to
the yo anger one, " Smith, do you know that person ?" Ile
replied hesitatingly, " Yes, I did know her." Witness
then searched their clothes. In the trousers pocket of the
elder prisoner he found a quantity of loose gunpowder,
some caps, and a portinunuaie. He found in the room: at
the back of a looking-glass, a pistol broken, an opera-
glass, a powder flask, and yarions other things. Under
a chest of drawers he found fencing foils and two pairs
of boxing-gloves. Tid clothes Were all spotted with
btool. Before betty ug the room witness said,
"Now, do you.quito understand the charge against you ?"
The eidet prisoner replied, " Yes, I did it ; I was tempted
to do it." Witness said, " Who tempted you ?" He replied,
"I don't know; I was tempted." The younger prisoner
said nothing. lie conveyed them to the station, and then
to Guy's Hospital, where the injured woman recognised
them both. lie then took them to Bishopsgate Station
and placed theta in separate cells. The elder ono asked
to see his brother, fur he wished to make a statement.
Superintendent Foster was present, who cautioned the
prisoner and told him that anything he said would be used
against him. lie replied, " Yes, I know that perfectly
well." Ile then stated—We) wore in the coal cellar for some
time. We heard Mrs. Nunn go out about 7 o'clock. Then
