CHARGE OF MURDER.
(THIS DAY.)
John Kemplen, a young man, a plasterer, was brought
up at Marlborough Police-court, in custody of Inspector
Dudley, of the E division, and Clement, of the F
charged on suspicion of having caused the death of Maria.
Elizabeth, his wife, aged eighteen years. The prisoner is
the son of a respectable tradesman, and was married to the
deceased, the daughter of a working man, between seven and
eight months ago. They lived unhappily :he had frequently
beaten her so severely that she retained the bruises about
Ler person for several weeks. He bad latterly given
himself up to dissipated habits, frequenting skittle
grounds and neglecting his work. They had in conse-
quence been forced to give up their lodgings. She had
since then been occasionally sheltered and fed by her father,
but was in the habit of seeing her husband, to whom she
was much attached. Last night, about ten o'clock, she was
with him at the King's Head public-house, in Cumberland-
street, Middlesex Hospital, where they had something to
drink, and the potboy overheard them make an appointment
to meet there this morning at ten o'clock. About three
quarters of an hour afterwards she was found by police-
constable No. 152 of the E division lying on the footway
pavement in Union-street, Middlesex Hospital, in a state of
insensibility. She was conveyed to Middlesex Hospital;
but owing, to her being in an advanced state of preg-
nancy, she was directed to be taken to a lying-inn hospital.
She was, however, removed to her parents' residence, No. 25,
St. Anne's-court, Soho, and remained there during the night.
For the first time, however, she appeared to be in great agony
and vomited very much, complaining of pains in her head.
She afterwards became still and composed, and her parents
concluding that she had fallen asleep, did not attempt to
disturb her; but on her mother getting up this morning,
she discovered that the deceased was dead, life having appa-
rently been extinct for several hours. While being carried
to the hospital, she many times exclaimed, "Don't
beat me, John ; pray don't beat me." On her
being taken to her father's, he asked her if John
had been beating her, and she emphatically said, " Oh,
no." The prisoner had, however, been heard to say that
he would do fur her in some way or other—if not by beating
—poison, or some other means. The body has not yet been
professionally examined, but all appearances are indicative
of her death being caused by poison.
The prisoner declared himself innocent.
He was remanded until an inquisition shall be held on
the body.
The prisoner was apprehended this morning at ten o'clock,
at the King's Head public-house, in Cumberland-street.

CHAN CERY,-(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor did not sit to-day.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
His Lordship sat at ten o'clock.
The hearing of several unopposed petitions occupied the
greater part of the day. These were chiefly on the part of
legatees and heirs-at-law, praying for the payment of =Rey,
&c., to which they were entitled, and many were declared in-
formal, the certificate of the burial of the deceased not being
produced, without which his Lordship declared he ;would not
make any order, as it would be calculated to induce what he
would never sanction, a further departure from the rules of
-the Court.
