BRIEF STATEMENT OF FACTS.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
It will be recollected that in April last the cases of Thomas La.
kin and Ann Ward, were brought by petition before both Houses
of Parliament. It appeared that having been unable to pay a poor's
rate, and having no sufficient goods and chattels, they were impri-
soned in Leicester county gaol till the rate should be paid. It was
paid by a charitable gentleman. They were then sent to the House
of Correction for one month to hard labour, for inability to pay the
costs, and having, as before, nothing on which a distress could be
levied.

Thomas Lakin has now heen subjected to another levy, which he
is again unable to pay. A distress warrant is issued with the same
result as before. He is summoned before the Bench of Magistrates,
and committed to the county gaol, as befigfr for an indefinite pe-
riod, till the rate, amounting to ss. 4d.. is Nid,- with the prospect of
another month of hard labour for the costs. This is a poor man of
excellent character, as attested in writing by his employers and
others. His wages for the last eleven weeks (taken from the pay-
master's weekly tickets) average 9s. Bd. per week. The rent of the
cottage (the little furniture of which belongs to his landlord), is
Is. 6d., leaving about Bs. to support himsel4 his wife, and four
children, the eldest eleven years old and blind, and the youngest
barely twelve months ! By going to the Ashby-de-la-Zouch
bench, as summoned a week or two ago, he incurred a lose of four
shillings, and the fees then charged and ordered by the magistrates
were five shillings for the magistrate's clerk, and one shilling and
sixpence for the constable; so that, doubtless when the hand of
charity relerties him from his first and indefinite imprisonment. he
will, as before, be charged some twenty or thirty shillings costs,
and sent for a month among felons at the treadmill for inability to
pay that amount. On the former occasion, in April last, he was
released three days before the expiration of the month by the in.
tervention of her Majesty, both Sir James Graham, in the House
of Commons, and the Lord Chancellor, in the House of Lords, ad.
milting fully the illegality and inhumanity of the course pursued
by the magistrates. The committing magistrates on that occasion
were R. G. Cresswell, Esq., and W. Wootton Abney, Esq. In
this instance they are R. G. Cresswell, Esq., and the Rev. Sir Nigel
Gresley. The commitment is dated from Ashby-de.la-Zonch,
Oct. 4. 1845.

Thomas Lakin is an inhabitant of the village of Whitwick, six
miles from Aehby, and works in the Whitwick coal pits.

THE MURDER AT CAMBERWELL.
Yesterday afternoon an inquiry of some hours duration took
place at the Swan Inn, Park-road, Camberwell, before William
Carter, Esq., coroner for Surrey, on view of the body of Benja..
min Booth, aged 45 years, a plasterer, whose death had been cc.
casioned by a brutul attack made upon him, whilst in a defenceless
state, by a man named John Welsh, a fellow-lodger, who has
since absconded.
John Jarvis, carpenter, deposed that he lodged with Mr. Ma-
thews, No. 1, Malpas.street, Peckham New Town, Camherwell.
Deceased and a man named Welsh also lived there. Welsh had
been away for about a month, until Sunday last, when he returnei.
They (deceased and Welsh) used to occupy the same bed, and with
witness all slept in the same room. On Sunday night they went to
bed as usual. Nothing then passed between them of an angry
nature. On the following morning Welch got up first (about half.
past five o'clock), and after he had dressed himself, he said to de.
ceased, " Why don't you get up, Booth, and not lie there and lose
your time ?" Deceased replied, " You be-, I don't want you
to be troubling me at all I You had no business here. The Last
time you slept wiih me my money fell out of my pocket, and you
(Welsh) gathered it up and kept Is. 6d. or 2s. out of it." Welsh
upon this became much exasperated, and angry words passed be-
tween them. Welsh then left the room for a minute, and on his
return said to deceased, "Do you still persist that I bad your
money ?" Deceased replied, " Yes ;'' upon which Welsh retorted,
" I'll pay it out of you," and instantly left the room. In
less than a minute he returned with a tailor's sleeve.board in his
hand, and, rushing at deceased, struck him several blows on the
head with it whilst he was in a half sitting position in bed.
Deceased cried out, " Oh, Welch, don't hit me any more."
Welch appeared to strike as hard as he could. Wituess imme-
diately jumped out of bed and endeavoured to get hold of Welch,
but before he could accomplish it he had struck deceased two
slighter blows on the back. A man named Luney then came into
the room, and who wrenched the sleeve-board from him. Witness
afterwards went to work, and Welch accompanied him a short
distance on the road, when they parted, he saying he should go to
New. cross Railway station to seek employment. Witness had
not seen him since. On their way, Welch said he was sorry for
what he had done.
Mr. Thomas Morris, surgeon, Peckham, deposed that he was
sent for to deceased. lie found him in bed quite insensible,
breathing stertorously. From his appearance witness attributed
his condition to compression of the brain. He bled him, and re.
sorted to all necessary remedies. Deceased never was restored to
a state of consciousness, and died the same night. Had since
made a post-mortem examination. On opening the head, he found
a crack or fracture extending from about two inches above the
temporal muscle to the babe of the brain; also found a mass of
blood of about three ounces in weight pressing on the right hemis-
phere of the brain, between the dura mater and the skull, which
arose from a rupture of one of the arteries of the brain.
The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against John
Welch.
Welch being still at large, the Coroner issued his warrant for
his apprehension.

tX THE BLACKLEAD FROM GREENLAND.—It has been
frequently stated of late that the blacklead discovered in
Greenland resembled in all essential particulars the blacklead
fon. din Borrowdale, near Keswick. We entertained strong
doubti as to the truth of this averment from the first, and
we are at present in possession of information on the subject
which enables us to give a dech'ed contradiction to the
rumour that the Davis's Straits lead possesses any of the pro-
perties which render the Borrowdale lead so valuable. A
friend of ours was in Leith the other day when the Comet
arrived from Davis's Straits with a cargo of the lead on board,
samples of which he examined with great care, and so far
from its possessing the valuable properties of the Borrow-
dale lead, it does not even resemble it in appearance. In fact,
it could not be distinguished from what is known in the trade
as Spanish lead ; its ever coming into use, therefore, as a sub-
stitute for the valuable mineral found in Borrowdale, is en-
tirely out of the question.—Cumberland Pacquet.
Mons. Thiers, whose arrival we mentioned yes-
terday, has taken up his residence at Mivart's Hotel.
Madame Thiers, accompanied by Monsieur and Madame
Dosne, arrived a few days previously from Lille.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —A FRIGRTFUL CASE OF A
BAD LEG EED BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND
PILLS.—Mr. Thomas Clarke, a retired captain from the South
Sea trade, residing in Globe-lane, Mile-end, had had a bad leg
for five years. There were about twenty boles in it. Several
pieces of bone had come away. The limb was often the size
of a child's body. It frequently caused the most excruciating
pain. The captain was told that his leg must be amputated ;
but he, like hundreds of others, has got it soundly healed by
