UNROLLING OF AN EGYPTIAN

MUMMY IN THE BELFAST MUSEUM.

We announced in our last (says the Banner of
Ulster), that the mummy procured by Sir J. Emer-
son Tennent in the year 1845, and kindly forwarded
by him to this town, was to be unrolled in the
museum of the Belfast Natural History Society on
Thursday. The examination was looked forward to
with considerable interest, a royal name occurring in
the inscription on the sarcophagus, and the hierogly-
phics fixing the date of the individual as connected
with the twelfth Egyptian dynasty. The sarcophagus,
which is in a state of perfect preservation, was
obtained at Thebes—once " the city of a hundred
gates," the site of edifices without a parallel in
the world—now a heap of ruins—a vast necropolis of
yawning pits and tombs, in which it is calculated
there are from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 mummied
bodies. Thursday, at one o'clock, the members of
the Natural History and Philosophical Society, with ;
a number of friends, assembled in the museum, for 1
the purpose of witnessing the operation of unrolling.
Those present having taken their seats, the seals of
the case, which was placed on a table elevated in the
centre of the large room on the second floor, were re-
moved by Dr. Grattan, who, assisted by Dr. Carlyle,
Dr. Stevelly, and Mr. Getty, at once proceeded to
uncover the mummy. The case, which was enclosed
in a sarcophagus of wood, about two and a half inches
io thickness, and ornamented with an immense
variety of hieroglyphics, representing figures of deities,
and their gifts, bore a large number of inscriptions,
the name of the deceased, her gods, her departing
addresses and appeals, &c. It was composed of laths,
covered with canvass, and a layer of some adhesive
compound. The hieroglyphics, both on the outside
and inside, were as legible as if the paint had been
laid on a few months ago. No sooner bad the cover-
ing been taken off than it was discovered that the
case must have been opened before, and that some
rude hand, probably of a plundering Arab, had cut
through to the face the thick bandaging which
wrapped the head of the mummy, and that the
swathing bands, which extended in two or three
piles from head to foot, had been carelessly bundled
up and lodgcd beside the shoulders. A small piece
of gilt wood, rounded, and symbolical of Eternity,
was found on the breast of the individual ; a
large collection of green beads, apparently of
metal, was discevi rtd at the head, and three
little gilt gods, and three gilt plates were taken,
the former from the r;ght side of the body, and the
latter from the left. Tne unrolling occupied nearly
two hours. The bandages were of linen, the greater
number being about three yards in length, and four
inches in breadth, and having insertion and fringe at
one end. They were of various texture—some spe-
cimens about the chest as fine as muslin—and in a
state of remarkable preservation. During the progress
of the unrolling several pieces of linen taken from the
shoulder of the mummy served, by various stamped
inscriptions, to identify the individual with the coffin,
and to point out her parentage, age, and circum-
stances. Before the mummy had been completely
uncovered, it was discovered that not a tissue
of the body hung together—that the entire flesh,
and almost all the bones, were completely pul-
verised ; and when the last folds were removed little
else than a heap of dust remained. The linen was
not much injured, the sarcophagus and case were per-
fect, the hieroglyphics were apparently fresh, even the
gods were safe ; but the Scripture truth, " Dust thou
art, and unto dust shalt thou return," was unmistake-
ably apparent in the totally decayed members of the
individual itself. Without touching on the infor-
mation to be communicated on Wednesday by Dr.
llincks, we believe we are correct in stating that
the result of the examination will show that
the individual was of royal extraction—a princess,
about forty years of age, 4 feet 8 inches in height,
and partly deformed ; that the body was preserved
with bitumen, and is at least 3,400 years old—the
oldest, with one exception, ever unrolled. We under-
stand that upon the skull, vertebra, and one or two of
the principal bones of the arms and legs, the flesh and
muscles upon which seem to have undergone some
remarkable changes in combination with the bitumen,
experiments of an interesting character are to be
made, and that the results will be communicated on
Wednesday, after Sir James Emerson Tennent shall
have stated the circumstances under which he obtained
the mummy, and Dr. Hincks shall have communi-
cated the result of his examination.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Oct. 23.
(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant Judge, and a
Bench of Magistrateo.)
John TVhite, aged 38, a very respectably-dressed
mar, was indicted for having stolen printed books,
the value of 18s., the property of John Murray.
It appeared that on the 11th inst. the prisoner went
into Mr. Murray's shop, in Albermarle•street, and
asked to look at a book. While the shopman went to
fetch the volume in question the prisoner was seen by
a: other pea son in the shop to take down two other
hocks from the shelf, and place them within the breast
of his cost ; and just as the man who had gone in
search of the book originally asked for by the prisoner
had returned with it, he; ran into the street. lie was
pur.ued, ar.d the books found upon him as described.
The prisoner now in his defence said, in an affected
tone of voice, that no doubt he had, teken down the
books to look at, but he denied most strongly that he
had ever entertained a thought of stealing them.
Steal them! What a thought—what an idea I Could
he ever contemplate the theft of a book, or of any-
thing else? Oh, no; no such thing. Why, he was
too much devoted to books to dream of stealing them.
lie was in the habit of purchasing a great many vo-
lumes. It had been his custom for years to have a
love and a fancy for buying books, and he, like other
frail mortals, had been in the habit of indulging that
love, and had at the same time gratified and realized

his fancy—for the books he bought. He had said he
had not intended to steal these books. It might,
however, be asked if that were so, how did i; happen
that he had run cut of the shop.
The Learned JUDGE—Yes, how do you explain the
fact of taking down the books from the shelves, the
putting them within the breast of your coat to hide
them, and then the running off with them—how do
you explain that?
The prisoner—Oh, that is very easy. I did not mean
to steal the books, but just as I had taken them down,
and was about to look at them, my eye caught sight
of a man passing by of the name of Williams, who has
owed me 255. for more than three years, and after him
I ran to ask for payment of that sum. There, that's
the explanation of my leaving the shop, but before I
could return 1 was laid hold of. What cause, do you
suppose, I could have to steal these books? Why, I
am independent, and have lived with my mother for
the I,st 25 years, and I live with her now, but in a
fortnight's time I shall be with my uncle at Wor-
cester. My uncle is the proprietor of large nursery
grounds at Worcester, and 1 am going down to live
with him. In a whining voice the prisoner concluded
his long harangue by protesting not only his inno-
cence as to any intention of committing a theft, but
his utter inability to conceive the theft of a book. If
he should be convicted of this charge his character
would be in a perfect state of ruin.
The Learned JUDGE told the, jury that they had
heard a very clear statement u:ade by the witnesses
for the prosecutor, and they had also heard the sin-
gular address of the prisoner. Between those two
versions of the transaction they must find their way
as best they could, and give a verdict accordingly.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The prisoner—Oh, I am going to my uncle at
Worcester in a fortnight.
The Learned JUDGE—You will not go to Worces-
ter in a fortnight, I can tell you. Why, how can
you come here with your sycophantic manners and
whining when you know that this is not the first time
that you have been at that bar upon a charge of steal-
ing books ?
The officer said, that on the former occasion the
prisoner had been acquitted.
The Learned JUDGE—Yes, because the jury then
thought there was some doubt as to the man's state of
mind.

The prisoner—But I have to go to Worcester in a
fortnight.
The Learned JUDGE—Tbat you will not do, you
may depend upon, for I shall send you to the House
of Correction for three months, where you will have
some hard labour as a portion of your punishment for
this offence.

POLICE IN TELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Samuel Sale was brought before Alderman Gibbs,
charged with having hidden himself under a bed in a
public-house in the neighbourhood of the Mansion
house, for the purpose of robbing the premises.
A young person, the daughter of the prosecutor,
who happened to be in the kitchen, which is on the
first floor, and immediately under one of the bed-
rooms, heard, or fancied she heard, a footstep over
head at nine o'clock on Tuesday night, aod, knowing
that strangers had no business there, she went up to
ascertain the cause of the unexpected noise. Upon
entering the bedroom she looked round, but saw no-
body. Relying, however, upon the accuracy of her
hearing, which caught the sound of a slight rustliep
as she walked into the room, she looked down and
saw a man's arm under the bed. Without uttering e
word she quietly walked out of the room, locked th,
visitor in, slipped down stairs, and, instead of alarm-
ing her mother, who was in the bar, went into tin
street, beckoned to a policeman, and, telling him what
she had seen, gave him the key of the room, in which
he very soon introduced himself to the prisoner, who,
as soon as he found that it was all up with him. began
to knock to be let out.
The policeman said he found the prisoner, upon un
locking the door, in great confusion. The fellow pre-
tended that he had mistaken the chamber for a place
of accommodation, and that finding it was a bedroom,
and not wishing to be suspected of an intention to
plunder the house, he just thrust himself under the
bed. Upon being asked for his address, he gave a
direction to a remote lodging at which he was not
known, and in answer to other questions he said he
had been in the house before, and had, by the direc-
tions of the waiter, walked up stairs instead of down
stairs.
Alderman GIBBS—WeII, prisoner, how do you ac-
count for this very unwelcome visit of yours to the
upper part of the house ? The prisoner said he really
had made a mistake, and he endeavoured to show that
he was incapable of doing the slightest intentional
injury.
Alderman GIBBI—Why did you give a false ad-
dress ? The prisoner—The officer mistook me.
Alderman (Mans—Then we are all in a mistake.
You mistook the bedchamber for another sort of place.
The officer mistook another address for your address,
and I mistake you for a thief who had an intention to
rob the house.—(A. laugh.) The young lady has
acted with a great deal of presence of mind and pru-
dence in completing the business without terrifying
her mother, and you shall go to Bridewell for three
calendar months, with hard labour.
BOW-STREET.
Pat Regan was charged with causing a nuisance in
Church-lane, St. Giles's, by emptying the contents of
a privy into the public thoroughfare.
Mr. J. B. Durham, a cutler, of 456, Oxford-street,
stated, that in giving the defendant into custody his
only desire was to draw the attention of the magis
trate to a very serious nuisance which had long ex
isted in Church-lane. The houses in that part of St.
Giles's were occupied by people of the lowest class,
amongst whom neither order, morality, nor decency
prevailed. In one small house as many as ninety per-
sons of both sexes lived together, and no fewer than
thirty occupied one room about thirteen or fourteen
feet square. The cesspools ran over, and saturated
the rooms and passages on
the ground-floor. The
nightsoil was usually swept into the street to be car-
ried off by the gutters in wet weather, and witnes,
finding the defendant engaged in this way, and there-
by causing a most intolerable stench in the neigh-
bourhood, in the middle of the day, resolved to give
him into custody, and test the power of the magis-
trate to compel the interference of the proper local
authorities. The complainant added that he
had been in repeated communication with the
Board of Health and the parish officers during the
past two years, without succeeding in getting the as-
sistance of either towards the suppression of the nui-
sance. He had seen in one of the houses a sick
woman very far advanced in pregnancy lying upon
straw or shavings, Which had been discoloured by the
filth running in from an adjoining room.
The defendant said he had no help for it. Ia wet
weather his room was so bad that he was obliged to
shovel it out of the door. The privies were so full
that the soil ran over and got into the rooms. It ran
from one room into another, and sometimes from one
house into another, and so what could they do, except
get rid of it ? He was only shovelling it into the
gutters, to be taken off in the drains; for it smelt
worse inside than it did out.
Mr. JIRDINB told him in future not to touch it. It
for
the a
was scandalous that such a nuisance should be suf-
fered
police
singe day;and, if no one else interfered,
surely should have taken up the matter.
The public voice was being raised every day against
evils of much less magnitude than this. His Worship
then gave directions to the inspector cf police to go
and make himself acquainted with the facts, and pro-
mised to give all the assistance in his power to sup•
press the nuisance.—Tee defendant was discharged.
MAR YLEBONE.
After the disposal of the night charges Mr. F. It.
Jonse, solicitor, who was accompanied to the court
by Mr. John Wilson, of 18, Charles-street, Middle-
sex Hospital, made application to Mr. Broughton for
a warrant against Mr. Samuel Steele, 24, Great
Titchfield-street, Marylebone, for an assault of a
violent nature upon the aforesaid Mr. Wilson, both
parties being members of the Marylebene vestry. His
Worship, to whom the application was made, is also
a vestry tnan.
Mr. Jones briefly stated that, after the breaking up
of the vestry meeting on Saturday afternoon, the 12th
instant, Mr. Steele came behind Mr. Wilson and
struck him a blow on the back part of the head, a
proof of which assault would be forthcoming upon
the case being gone into on a future day.
It was further stated that Mr. Steele had been writ-
ten to to the effect that if he would give a guinea to
the poor-box, and apologize for the unwarrantable
attack which he had been guilty of; nothing more
would be required, but as he had not thought fit to
make any reply to the communication addressed to
him, Mr. Wilson felt it his duty to institute the present
proceedings. The fracas arose out of an allegation
made at the vestry with respect to Mr. Steele having
netted and carried away from Mary lebone workhouse
between forty and fifty pigeons therein located, and
making pies of them for himself and family. Tne
allegation was at the time it was made indignantly
denied, and we believe that with respect to the as-
sault said to have been committed, the casus Belli was
that of Mr. Wilson having at a committee meeting
of the vestry drawn upon the table the figure of a
bird, and written beneath it " What about the
pigeons ?"
The warrant was granted, and the matter, which
had excited a considereble degree of interest amongst
the members of the Marylebone " Parliament" and
their friends,
on Tuesday near.
Mr. W is appointed for hearing at two o'clock
Nilson said that in the event of the terms
proposed by him with respect to an apology and a
donation to the poor•box being made prior to Tues-
day next, he should, notwithstanding the disregard
which bad been shown by Mr. Steel to the letter ad-
dressed to him, be perfectly satisfied without troubling
his Worship any more upon the subject.
Mr. Wileon and his solicitor then quitted the court.

THE

LATE

the clock strike two and three, and, I believe, four
o'clock. When I awoke shortly after four I noticed
that there was not nearly so much light in the bed-
room as there ought to be, and I got out of bed. I found
the brdroorn dour three parts shut. I opened it and
looked down stairs. I saw a man at the bottom with'
dark lantern i❑ his hand. He was crouching down and
entering the dining-room. I immediately went down
stairs and pushed the dining-room door open with my
right hand, when out eie ang two men. I turned
round, having nothing with which to defend myself,
and went quietly up stairs. The men followed close
behind. When I got to the top of the stairs I was
struck a heavy blow on the knee, which made me fall
against the banisters. I instantly wrenched one of
the rails out of the banisters, and began to defend
myself. Both the men were on me at the time. I
received several violent blows on the head, which pre-
vented me making any better resistance. I cannot
tell what weapon the man on the left side had, but the
man on the right had a poker. I had a slight glimpse
of the man on the left, but the one on my right I saw
very distinctly.
Mr. Tyndal—Look at the prisoners, and say whe-
ther you can identify one or both of them ? The pro-
secutor—l believe Marshall to be the. man on my
right hand, who had the poker.
Mr. Tyndal—Which is the person whom you
believe to have been on your left hand ? The prose-
cutor—l believe Healey to be the man, but he leant
so much ever me that I had not a distinct view of him.
Mr. Gem (magistrate's clerk)—Had you ever seen
either of the prisoners before? The prosecutor—l
think I saw Healey the Thursday before at the
bottom of my yard, hut I will not speak to him posi-
tively. The two men on the staircase escaped over
me, and I immediately went down stairs and let the
police in.
Cross-examined by Mr. Herding—Healey, I be-
lieve, is my nephew. I am pretty sure he is one of
the men. I judge by his figure, his trousers, and the
way he leant over me. I thought by the gaslight his
trousers were more of a drab colour. (The prisoner
in the dock wore light green trousers) I had not
seen Healey for years, and I had no means of recog-
nising him on the morning in question except from
the slight view I had of his person. I saw him seve-
ral times over me as I was parrying his blows, ' but I
could not catch so clear a view of him as I did of the
other man.
Mr. Harding—You say you had reason to judge
that Healey was one of the men, because his trousers
were of a dark drab colour ? The prosecutor—l did
not believe him to be one of the men simply because
he wore dirk drab-coloured trousers, nor did I say so.
Mr. Harding—What, then, was there with respect
to his trousers which led you to believe that Healey
was one of the men ? The prosecutor—What I meant
to say was, that the man had on what I thought to be
a dark-coloured pair of trousers.
Mr. Harding—What was there in his figure by
which you knew Healey to be one of the men ? The
prosecutor—l observed him to be a very young man.
Mr. Harding—Was his face coloured ? The pro-
secutor—l believe it was, but not so strongly as that
of the other man. I thought from his face, as well as
Nis figure, that he was a e oung man. I did not ex-
amine his face, but I saw him sufficiently.
Mr. Harding—You did not positively recognise the
face of your own nephew? The prosecutor—l
did not.
Mr. Herding—You say he leant over you ; de-
scribe what you mean. The prosecutor—Every time
he struck me I parried the blow, and he seemed to
crouch to conceal his face, so that I should not get a
good sight of it.
Mr. Herding—Perhaps he succeeded in that ? The
prosecutor —I saw his face several times.
Mr. Harding—ln point of fact, the leaning over of
the man was no reason why you believe Healey to be
that person ? The prosecutor—No, certainly not;
hut now and then I got a sight of him.
Mr. Harding--I suppose you were somewhat ex-
cited and alarmed, were you not ? The prosecutor—
I was Trite collected, except for half a minute, when
I received the blow on my head from the poker. It
was after that that the men made their escape. I had
previously received several blows on the head.
Ann Thompson—l am servant to Mr. Marston.
Oa Thursday, the 3d October, I observed three men
inside my master's gates, and Healey was one of
them. About a month previously, on a Sunday, I
believe, I saw the same three men in the same place
in my master's yard. The man who rents the stable
was with them. Oa the Sunday morning, about six
weeks ago, one of the men spoke to me. Healey was
the man, and he is one of the persons I saw on the 3d
of October. On Saturday previous to the burglary I
cleaned my master's plate. I placed it in the drawers
in the breakfast-room. The creamjug and sugar-
basin produced were part of the plate. On the Mon-
day morning, soon after four o'clock, I was awoke by
Mr. Marston's screams. I found the plate on the floor
by the drawers in the breakfast-room.
Cross-examined by Mr. Harding—l did not see the
men in the yard, the first time, for more than half an
instant. I got away as fast as I could, for one of them
spoke very rudely to me. I believe that man to be
Healey. He had a coloured waistcoat, and a little red
in his handkerchief. I do not recollect any more
about him. The men I saw again on the 3d of Octo-
ber I believe to be the same men, as they were very
like them ; they stood in the same place and position
as they did before. On the second occasion I did not
observe them particularly.
Mr. Harding—Now, I ask you, do you believe
that on that second occasion, the 31 of October,
Irealey was one of the men? Witness—l do believe
that he was one of the men I saw on the second oc-
casion.
Mr. Harding—Now, why do you believe that
Healey was one of the men? Witness—By the way
he stood on the first occasion.
Mr. Harding—Did Healey stand in any particular
way on the 31 cf October? Witness—He did not.
Mr. Harding—What do you'rnean, then, by saying
that you believed Healey to be the man, from the
particular manner in which he stood when you thought
you saw him a month previously ? Witness—l
believe it was the same man.
Mr. Harding—Youl have sworn in your examina-
tion that Healey was one of the men you saw in the
yard on the 31 ef October. Is that true, or is it
not ? Witness—From the way in which he stood,
and from what I saw of him, I believe he was one of
the men.

James B Ater, police-constable 37—On the morning
of the 7th of October I wai called to Mr. Marston's
house by cries for help. I entered by the front, and
went upst4irs and found a hat between the roof and
the ceilii.g. The ceiling and the roof of the ware-
house were broken open.
Mr. Caswell, hatter, deposed that he sold the hat

produced eight or nine months ago to the prisoner
Healey. A little before last Birmingham fair Healey
brought the hat to be cleaned, and he fetched it away
about three days afterwards.
Cross-examined by Mr. Harding—What Vs there
particular about the hat which enables you to know
it ? Witness—There is nothing peculiar about it,
but I know the hat by its size and general appear-
ance. I cannot tell how many similar hats I. have
sold within the last eight or nine months, but not
abok e 30.
Mr. Harding—How do you know that you sold
this particular hat to this particular man ? Witness—
During the last eight months I have had about one
gross of these hats from the same manufacturer, and
this was one of that gross.
De. kfelson—Where is the man who cleaned the
hat ? Witness—His name is Adams, and he is in
Tonk-street.
Dr. Melsom—Let him be sent for.
Wittrss—l knew Healey well, and have sold him
caps as well as hats. Out of the gross of hats I have
purchased within eight months there were five or six
of the size produced, and I am quite sure that he had
one of them. I can swear to its being the hat from
the circumstance of the prisoner bringing it to me to
be cleaned. The maker is Cooke; of Denton, and he
may certainly have sold hats cf a similar kind to other
hatters in Birmingham. I took the hat to George
Adams to be cleaned.
