Jones were left. Saw the latter leaning on the table with his
hand full of sovereigns. She said " Here's a health to the
Coach and Horses." Thelwall said " D—n the Coach au&
Horses, and the box too, if its in hell its good luck; we have
got the blessed tin, and its right enough ; we have seen over
the silversmith concern, and we shall see over this. The lank
does not advertise it. If they do, the creditors will all fall
upon them, and they will be done up." Heard Thelwall say
he had more money than would buy all Clayton and the next
town to it.

V James
Sawley stated that he apprehended Thelwall, and told
him why he was apprehended. lie said, " I have not bee*
at Bury for six months." Nothing had at that time been said
about Bury. •
George Cousins, of Maiden-place, Lambeth, London, stated
that N.lnoby and King came to lodge at his home on the 20th
of February. A person of the name of Collins, who was
lodging there with his wife, left the day after. Alentioned to
Alooby and King their mysterious disappearence, and asked
them if they had lost anything. King went up stairs,
down again, and said all was right. King afterwards said to
Mooby that he had better go up again and see that all was
right. They did go up, and King came down again, and slid
that all was wrong, and that they had been robbed by that
villain. Witness prt posed to go to the station-house and give
information. Kit g objected, saying it would give the house a
bad name. At a later period of the day King said that Mooby
had been robbed of 1751., in Si. Bank of England notes, with
the exception of one, which was a 101. note. Witness pro-
l•osed going to the Bank, but King objected, saying he wished
the matter to be kept quiet. King said it was well that he had
his pr perty about h m when he went to the theatre. He said
he bad about 7001. They went away the day after. King
said he would be back in a week, and Mooby in a fortnight.
Further evidence was given as to Mooby being in possession
of money about the time in question.
His Lordship having summed up, the Jury, after a few
minutes' consultation, returned a verdict of guilty against all
but King.
To be transported for seven years.
SATURDAY, APRIL 2.
John Taylor was indicted for the wilful murder of his bro-
ther, James Taylor, by stabbing him.
Sir. Wilkins conducted the prosecution; Mr. Brandt the
defence.

The prisoner and deceased, it appeared, had been drinking
t several public houses at Warrington, on the evening in ques-
tion, and set out on their way home in company with the wife
of the latter. A quarrel took place between them, blows were
exchanged, and in the course of the scale the deceased re-
ceived a wound from the point of a knife in the groin, trfling
in itself, but which from its being in the immediate neighbour-
hood of an old rupture, finally produced inflammation and
death. 'I he prisoner received an excellent character for mild-
ness of demeanour and usual sobriety of conduct, while his
brother appeared to be an uni uly and dissipated person. Im-
mediately on finding that his brother was wounded, the pri.
soner expressed the deepest sorrow for what had occurred, and
said that if his brother died he did not wish to live. The,
death of the unfortunate man was, it appeared, much accele-
rated by the previous habits of his life.
Verdict—Gutty of manslaughter. Sentence was deferred.
Timothy Hetherington, a pauper in the Manchester work-
house, was indicted for the murder of a fellow pauper, Peter
Jackson, an old man of 73.

It appeared that the deceased had received from the pri-
soner a suns of Is. tid. to take care of ; that the deceased had
spent it; that the prisoner was extremely irritated at his having
done so, and repeatedly threatened to cripple him. On the
day in question, without any immediate provocation, he came
behind the deceased, knocked him down, and kicked him re.
pcatedly, breaking some of his ribs, and giving him several
other injuries, of which he subsequently died.
31r. GREEN, for the defence, cross-examined the witnesses,
with a view to show the insanity of the prisoner. Icappcared
that he was epileptic, and occasionally had fits of mania, but
there was nothing to show that on the occasion in question he
was in such a state as to be incapable of distinguishing ri,4lit
from wrong.
Guilty of manslaughter. To be transported for life.

NORTH WALES GIP CUlT.—Aprg 1.
(Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.)
ATTI➢[PT TO POISON.—DISTAESSING SCILNE.—This morn-
ing Robert Pierce, aged 24, was plaw:l at the bar on three in-
dictments, charging him with attempts to murder his wife by
the administration of white arsenic.

Previous to the trial commencing, the prosecutrix, a young
woman, apparently not so old as the prisoner, was carried into
Court, and placed in the witness-box, the effects of the poison
having had so great an effect on her, as to completely paralyse
her limbs, and entirely destroy her health. It was evident, how-
ever, that she had previously possessed considerable personal at-
tractions. She was attended by a medical gentleman, and cordia's
were constantly resorted to in order to prevent her from fainting,
but, notwithstanding, on casting her eyes at her husband, she
appeared much affected, immediately swooned; and it was some
time before surgeons could restore her to sensibility. She was
then placed with her back towards the prisoner, and in a re-
clining position. The prisoner did not, on being first brought
into Court, appear much affected at the serious nature of the
charge, nor during the trial, which lasted from nine o'clock in
;he morning until eight in the evening, except turning paler
when his wife fainted.

Five witne:ses were examined, who prov d the purchasing
of the arsenic by the prisoner, and its administraticn to his
wile_ _ .

The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to death. He
was then removed to Flint gaol, on entering the cell of which
in his occupation on Saturday morning, the gaoler found that
he had committed suicide, by suspending himself from the bars
above the door. He had made a noose of his braces. The
unfortunate man had confessed to his having committed the
crime, for which he was convicted, on the night after his con-
demnation.

CORONER'S INQUEST.

An inquest was held on Saturday evening, at the sign of the
Old Red Lion public-house, Knightsbridge, before Mr. Higos,
the Coroner for Westminster, on the body of Mrs. Eliza
Spong, aged forty-two years.
The Superintendent of the Royal Humane Society's Station-
house, in Hyde-park, stated that at about five o'clock on Fri-
day morning last, in consequence of information he received
from one of the police-constables of the A division, he pro-
ceeded in a boat on the Serpentine-river, towards the eastern
end, bearing to the south shore, and discovered the body of a
female tossing up and down on the small waves, it being rough,
and blowing very strong at the time. On reaching the body,
witness attempted to grasp it to draw it ashore, but found the
flesh gave way in his grasp, and he was ultimately obliged to
tow it ashore. It appeared to be in a very advanced state of
decomposition, and must at least have been two or three weeks
in the water. There were not any marks of violence about the
body. The deceased had on her bonnet and shawl. A trifle
of money was also found in her pockets.
By the CORONER—The females oho committed suicide
generally threw off their bonnet and shawl, and left it on the
hank before they threw themselves in the water. No part of
the dress of the deceased was torn, tier did she appear to have
been t gaged in any struggle.
Jolin 'Sporig state,' that he was footman in the service of
Robinson, Esq., of No. 41 Lowndes•st,eet, Belgravc-square ;
the deceased was his wife, and the mother of two children, now
living ; she resided in private lodgings, at Lisson• grove, and
was a sober, industrieus woman, and much attached to her
family. Witness's family bad, until the last nine months, been
is very distressed circumstances, through his being a long time
out of a situation. On the evening of last Thursday three weeks
she called on witness, at his master's house, to bring his change
of linen for the week, as she had been accustomed to do. They •
parted about eight o'clock in the evening, in good spirits, to re-
turn to her children, whom she had left locked up in the room
they occupied. The following day witness learned that his
wife had not returned to her horis, and for several days after he
was engaged, under feelings orfhe most painful anxiety as to
her fate, but could hear no tidings of her until the finding of
the body. the information of which he gained through his
having given information of her being mi-sing to the Humane
Society. Her way home on leaving him was to pass by the
Serpentine, and he had no doubt but that she had walked into
the water by accident, and was drowned in consequence of s
doing. Verdict—" Found drowned."
