S3NV the prisoner stamp upon the lower part of her person,
and strike her with his fists a number of times. Witness

then jumped out of bed and seized a pistol, and said to the
prisoner, " Leyden, if you don't get off my premises I'll blow
your brains out." The prisoner than ceased ill-using her,
and witness again returned to his bed. Between 6 and 7
o'clock the next morning witness was called up, and then
found Frances Wheeler lying on the ground by the car-
pewees bench. Witness then went in search of the prisoner,
and found him at the Ceach and Horses public-house, Ken-
sington, and said to him, "Do you know what you have
done ? You have been guilty of housebreaking and murder ;"
to which the prisoner replied, " You -old fool, I'll serve you
the same." Witness then procured a cab, and, with the as-
sistance of a policeman, conveyed the injured woman to St.
George's Hospital.
By Mr. Cray;—While the prisoner was striking Frances
Wheeler he said, " You old fool, I'll murder you ;" and he
dragged her along the floor and kicked her violently.
henry Trumpfield deposed, that he lived at No. 1, Augus-
tus-court, Lawrence-street, Chelsea. On the morning in
question he went to Langston's cottage, and there saw
Frances Wheeler lying in the corner of the porch by a
carpenter's bench. The prisoner was there, and said to
witness, "Come in and look at her." The prisoner then
took Frances Wheeler by the hair of her head, and flung her
over a block 10 inches high, and then kicked her violently.
She was at that time insensible, and the prisoner declared
he "meant nothing but murder."

Mr. A. Johnson deposed that he was house-surgeon of St.
George's Hospital. On the morning of Sunday, the 12th ult ,
Frances Wheeler was brought to that hospital. She had
most severe bruises and contusions, principally over the fore
part of the head, the face, chest, trunk, and legs.
.She also

E. ,
had tcactures of the Bth and 9th ribs on her right side. She
was at that time sensible, but in a state of great exhaustion.
She remained in very imminent danger for many days. She
was made an out-patient on the 29th ult. The braises ap-
peared to have arisen from severe kicks and blows.

Policeman Henry Tells, B 69, deposed that on the morning
of Sunday, Oct. 12, about half-past 10 o'clock, he was fetched
to the witness Langston's house. On going he found Frances
Wheeler lying on a bed covered with blood. She said her
ribs were broken. Witness took her to St. George's Hospital
in a cab. On witness's return he found the prisoner in
custody.
Policeman Amos, T 157, deposed that on Sunday, Oct. 12,
from information he received he took the prisoner into
custody. Witness told him that he took him for a most
murderous assault upon Frances 'Wheeler, to which the pri-
soner replied, " I wish I had broken her head."
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said he was very
sorry for what he had done, but he had received great pro-
vocation. Ha was sorry as soon as he was right in his mind.
Mr. Crave; said it was his duty to commit the prisoner for
trial on the capital charge, and as he considered it a case in
which the Government should prosecute, he should write to
the Secretary of State for the Home Department to that
effect.

The prisoner applied to be admitted to bail.
Mr. CLIVE said he was aware he had the power to admit
him to bail, but he did not feel disposed to do so.
The prisoner was accordingly committed to Newgate.
