CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY

OLD COUR7

(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON and Mr. Justice
CRESS WELL.)
_ . _

Ann Merritt, 31, a widow, was'indieted for the wilful
murder of her husband, James Merritt, by administering
to him on the 24th of January last, in the parish of St.
John, Hackney, a quantity of white arsenic.
Mr. BODKIN, who attended with Mr. Clerk to conduct
the prosecution on the part of the Crown, said the de-
ceased was in the employ of the East London: Water-
works Company, and his duty laid in the neighbourhood
of Hackney, where he resided. He had been married to
the prisoner for many years, and bad several children by
her, and it appealed that though they occasionally
quarrelled, there was none of that spirit of bitterness
between them which might suggest that either contem-
plated taking the life of the other ; but the cir-
cumstances under which the death of the deceased
took place required the strictest investigation. The
deceased was in his usual health on Wednesday, the 23d
January, when, after discharging his ordinary duties,
he returned home in the evening, about nine o'clock.
On the following day ho was seized with sickness, which
continued during the greater portion of the day. He
went out several times to get something to cure him,
and finally returned at one o'clock, after which he was
unable to leave his home. His illness increased, with
vomiting, until eleven or twelve o'clock at night, when
he became in a state of collapse, and death supervened.
A post mortem examination of the body took place, and
on the stomach being analysed, it was found that it con-
tained a portion of arsenic, which appeared to have been
recently administered, and there could be no doubt that
his death was occasioned by that poison. By the re-
quest of the deceased,: a surgeon named Touln2in was
sent for, but he arrived too late to be of any
service. When the prisoner was told that a
post mortem examination of the body would be
made, she objected to it, saying her husband had re-
quested her not to permit anything of the kind. She
was taken into custody on the 2d of February, and when
told that it was thought he had died of arsenic she ex.
claimed, "You will think then I am:guilty." A short
time before his death the prisoner purchased half an
ounce of arsenic from a chemist named Brown, and
said it was to destroy some mice which overrun her
place, and she had it made up in two separate parcels.
She, however, told the police officer that she neither had
any poison in the house, nor had purchased any; but
when the chemist made his appearance in the room, she
turned pale and agitated, and acknowledged she had
bought some arsenic. On the ,way to the station-house
she said her husband had ill-used her, and, in a pet,
she had purchased the poison to destroy herself, but
had afterwards changed her mind. She observed
also, that she had put the poison in the place
where her husband was in the habit of keep-
ing some seidlitz powders, and she supposed he
must have taken it himself. Of course, if she had put
the poison there in order that her husband might take it
instead of the powders, that would amount to lb* crime
of murder. There was ono circumstance which was
calculated strongly to attach suspicion to the prisoner.
Htr husband was a member of a benefit society which
gave 101. to a widow on the death of her husband, and
it appeared that she had mentioned this to some neigh-
bours a few days before the death of the deceased. He
should call witnesses whose evidence would prove to the
jury the ficts which he had stated.
Samuel Pickering, a labour er, living at Coldbath-lane,
Ilackea y, was thee called, and said the deceased was a
fellow-workman of his for about a fortnight before his
death. (.), the 23d of January, nt nine o'clock, he was
in his usual health, having only a slight cold. He saw
him again at his house on the 24th (next morning) at
eight o'clock, when he was vomiting in the yard; he said
he had taken some broth and some hot tea on that, and
he supposed it had turned sick on his stomach. They
went out together as far as Clapham-square; when there
he complained of being thirsty, and he went into a
public house and had some rum-aud-water. They sepa-
rated about ten o'clock. Witness went to the deceased's
house again at eleven o'clock and saw him supping some
gruel out of a basin. He did not sup the whole of it.
When he had done he handed the basin to his wife, who
asked if she should put it on the hob and keep it warm,
and he said he did not care what she did
with it. He saw him again at two; he was then worse
and in bed, and asked witness to do his work for him. He
said he 44 no w9ndcr at his Win ill, ge the Tr9rk he

had to do was enough to kill a horse. That was the last
time he saw the deceased alive.

Thomas Denmln, alfo a turnenelc, deposed to seeing
the decea.,,ed on the 24th, when he was very ill end

vomiting.

James Ashby, a fellow labourer, gave similar teF-
timony.

Maiy Gillatt, who lives next door, said she saw the
deceased on the 24th, when he complained of great thirst,
a burning heat at his chest, and a violent pain in his
stomach, and she gave him some water five or six times
Her husband was sent by the deceased for Mr. Toulmin,
and that gentleman arrived with his brother at ten
o'clock, but he died at twelve.

Mr. Francis Toulmin, surgeon, said he was acquainted
with the deceased for several years. On the evening of
the 24th he was called to attend him, and on going to
his house he found him in bed. He was suffering from
pains in his stomach and cramp in his legs, and his pulse
was low. He sent some medicine that night, and called
on the following morning, when he was dead. He told
the prisoner that as the death had been somewhat sudden,
it would be somewhat satisfactory to open the body, and
she said she had no objection herself; hut had pro-
mised her husband that no such examination should take
place. Under those circumstances he did not press the
subject. He subsequently opened' the body at the re-
quest of the coroner, and sealed up the contents of the
stomach and transmitted them to the Ldndon Hospital
for experiment. The .coats f the stomach appeared to
have been subject to some irritant poison.
. .

Mr. Letheby, professor of chemistry, said he had
analyzed the contents of the stomach So transmitted to
him, and found traces of arsenic. He produced 8g grains
in a metallic shape which he had taken from the stomach,
and said this was sufficient to cause death. Five grains
were enough to take away the ill) of a person. The
poison appeared to have been alministered within a
period of threw or four hours of death,
Other evidence was then given tf a similar nature,
but the trial had not concluded when our rep.-..rt left.

IVE W COURT.
(Before the RECORDER_)
No case of any importance occurred in this court to-;lay,
The Third Court sat l erore Mr. Commissioner Bul-
lock, and disposed of several petty case?.

BOW-STREET.---(THIS DAY.)
Two fashionably attired girls, named Carlow and
Ellis, with several aliases, and a young man named Joke
Henry, were charged with attempting to pick
.pockets.
A police-constable of the C division stated that last
night he was on duty in New-road, in plain clothes,
when he obse,'ved the prisoners in company together,
and knowing that Ellis had been several times convicted
as a pick-pocket, he felt It to be his duty to watch them.
He saw the two females walk arm-in-arm from Judd-
street towards the Tottenham-court-road, the male pri-
soner following at a short distance behind. On the way
the females stopped two ladies, and while Elba engaged
them in conversation, Cirlow lifted up the side of their
dresses, and appeared to fumble about their pockets. He
afterwards ascertained from the ladies themselves that
they had lost nothing, and then continued his watch upon
the prisoners, who still kept in the direction of Totten-
ham-court-road. About half-way down the road he saw
them stop another lady and repeat the process of lifting
the dress and searching the pocket. He ascertained from
this lady that she was conscious of the prisoners having
attempted to pick her pocket, and thinking it was now
high time to put an end to their proceedings, he took. the
lady with him, and on meeting an officer in uniform, he
gave them all three into his custody. The man
he had often seen lurking about the streets but he knew
nothing wrong of him nor of Carlow, but Ellis had been
three times committed from Marlborough-street for
picking pockets in Regent street.
Mrs. Pierce, the lady referred to by the officer, stated
that the two females stopped her in Tottenham-court-
road and asked her the way to Lambeth-walk. While
she was directing them Ellis lifted up her dress and ex-
amined her pocket. She taxed the prisoner with having
had her hand in the pocket, when the prisoner exclaimed,
" What should my band do in your pocket?" To which
she replied, "Well, I don't know, all I know is that your
hand was there."
Two officers ident'fied the two females as well-known
pickpockets. Carlow, whose proper name was Andresys,
and Ellis, whose right name vvai Druce, had often been
committed. The man was always with the prisoners
when they were seen in the streets.
Mr. Wormier, who attended for the man Henry, con-
tended that there was no evidence to implicate his client
in the transac:ion. The females said nothing.
Mr. HENRY thought it was perfectly clear that they
were all thieves of a very dangerous chits, and as the man
had refused the option of being remanded to produce
evidi nee of character, he should commit all of them to
the House of Correction fur three calendar months each.

The prisoners wero accordingly removed in custody.

ROYAL VISIT TO THE HAYMARKET

THEATRE THIS EVENING.

We understand that official notice has been conveyed
to the Management of the Haymarket Theatre of the
intention of her Majesty to honour the theatre with her
presence this evening, to witness the performance of
Hamlet, and of Buckstone's farce of the Rough Diamond.
We are rejoiced to find that " the little theatre in the
Haymarket," which through evil report and good
report, at all times and under all circumstances, has
remained true to the cause of the legitimate drama,
and has afforded a home to Shakspere and our
dramatists, when every other theatre in London was
shut against them, is thus repeatedly honoured with
the Royal patronage.

ITER MAJESTY'S THEATBE.—News has arrived
from St. Petersburgh that Signora Frezzolini has at last
consented to sign her engagement. Amelia Ferraris and
Marie Taglioli reached London yoiterday. The season
is announced to open on Tuesday next, the 12th inst.,
with Medea (sustained by Parodi, Belletti,
Giuliani, and Signor Michelli), and a new original ballet,
by M. Paul Taglioni (entitle,' Les Metamorphoses),
which the principal character will be sustained by Car-
lotta Grisi. _ _

-- ---
HAYMARKET THEATRE.—The benefit of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles beau is announced to take place on Mon-
day next, under the patronage of her Majesty an Prince
Albert. On this occasion Much Ado about Nothing will
be played, the two principal characters by Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Kean. This will be the first time of Mr. Charles
Kean's appearance in London in the character of Bene-
dick. The comedy is otherwise powerfully cast—e -n-
-bracing, in fact, the strength of the conic any, with
Keeley as Dogberry, Buckstone as Verges. The after-
piece is Mr. Oxberry's admirable farce, Twice Killed.
ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—Although the season of
the French comic opera at this theatre is so near its
clots), novelties aro still announced. This evening a one
act opera L'Esclave de Camoens, the words by M. St.
Georges, and the tousle by M. E. Van der Does, will be

ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—At the monthly
general meeting held yesterday at the Society's house in
Hanover-square, Mr. P. Sclater and Mr. T. Day were
propose I as candidates fur the fellowship. The Rev. J.
L. Petit, Mr. T. Tooke, jun., and Miss Sullivan were
elected fellows, and Dr. Schlegel, of Leyden, a corre-
sponding member of the society.
FIRE IN LONG-ACRE. -- Yesterday afternoon,
about a quartc.r betoro two o'clock, a fire broke out in
the premises belonging to Mr. Thompson, brass and
iron Leletead manufacturer, and upholsterer, 116, Long.
acre. The fire began in the cabinet-makers' workshop,
at the rear of the front houses, and in close proximity
with the extensive coach-factory belonging to Messrs.
Wyben and Miller, and sundry other workshops. It
was caused by a boy taking a light into a small lumber-
room to look for a missing key. A spark accidentally
fell amongst the contents, and in a very brief period
flames shot forth, and, having entered the cabinet-
makers' shops they also became ignited. Several en-
gines quickly attended, and were called into operation,
but, in spite of the exertions of the firemen, the flames
were not conquered until the workshop was burned out,
part of the roof destroyed, and the contents, including a
number of working men's tools, consumed. The coach-
factory of Messrs. Wybon and Miller has also sustained
some trifling injury.
ALARMING ExpLosioN.—An explosion of a serious
character, from which great devastation by fire resulted,
happened yesterday afternoon at the oil and colour
stores belonging to Mr. May, in Chapel-street, Curtain-
road, Shoreditch. About three o'clock Mr. May was
proceeding to the back kitchen, when ho was startled by
a gush of air sweeping past him, followed by au expls-
sion, which severely burnt his face and hands. He
rushed up stairs, and gave the alarm to his assistants
and wife and family, who had the greatest difficulty in
effecting an escape before the whole shop was enveloped
in flames, the various combustles in the stores—tur-
pentine, naphtha, saltpetre, oils, Bs.c., exploding in
succession, blowing the shop-front into the street,
and causing great alarm in the neighbourhood. The
brigade mustered in strong force with the engines both
from the stations in the City and the eastern end of the
metropolis. The conflagration extended throughout the
premises from the basement to the roof, the flames
reaching completely across the street to the opposite
houses. The firemen, by considerable exertions, ma-
naged to prevent the adjacent property taking fire, but
were unable topreserve any portion of the premises of Mr.
May; every portion of them was consumed. The brigade
learnt that some varnish was in the course of manufac-
ture in the kitchen, and having been heated beyond its
proper temperature, it ignited and produced the conse-
quence described. In the course of the evening the fire-
men, the ruin, found two kegs of gunpowder
untouched in searchingoUchedbythe fire. The property destroyed is cu-
vered by insurance.
" A LETTER," &c., &c.—A very able and perspicu-
ous address on the necessity of reform iu Common Law
Procedure, suggesting clear, simple, and concise forms
of action in lieu of the antiquated ones now in use. As
Mr. Smith has displeyed both knowledge end power in
den ling with his subject, we shall hope to find this letter
followed up with others from his pen, and, peradventure,
one or two in the same strain on Real Property Law.
The COAL TRADE.—The collectors and comp-
trollers of the Customs department, at the several ports
and places throughout the United Kingdom, have re-
ceived directions from the Commissioners to prepare and
transmit to the inspector-general of imports and exports,
with the lent possible delay, the following accounts, so
far as the same relates to their respective ports, viz., an
account of the number of tons of coals, cults)' and
cinders, respectively, shipped at the several ports of Eng-
land, Scotland, and Ireland, to other ports in the United
Kingdom, in the year 1849, in continuation of a similar
account rendered for the preceding year.
