LAMBETH-STREET.

ALLEGED MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND.—
A respectable looking man, named 'William Taylor, was
last night brought up in custody of Lea the officer, and
placed at the bar to answer to a charge preferred against
him of having murdered his wife.

Lea stated that in consequence of a great irritation that
prevailed;and the threats of violence which were used by a
number of persons in Rosemary-lane, where the prisoner
resided, and carried on an extensive business as a general
trader, he was sent for, and on arriving in the lane found
the house of the prisoner surrounded by a vast mob of
people, all of whom were expressing themselves in the bit-
terest terms of indignation at the dreadful act which they
imputed to the prisoner. From the temper that was mani-
fested he took him into custody, and he was sure that if he
had not done so, and removed him out of the reach of the
enraged multitude, they would have inflicted some serious
injury on him, and perhaps have torn down the house.
He, Lea, before he left saw the body of the deceased, over
one of the eyes of which there was a severe contusion, a
cut in the mouth, and other marks of personal violence ; and
from what. he had since been able to ascertain, he had
learned that the prisoner and his wife lived on the most un-.
happy terms. On Saturday night the latter was obseried
to be in her usual state of health, at which time they quar-
relled, and no more was heard of her until Monday morn •
ins when it was discovered that she had expired.
bSarah Neagle deposed that she lived opposite the pri-
soner's shop. On Saturday night, between nine and ten
o'clock, she passed the house and observed the prisoner
strike deceased. On returning in the same direction in a
shirt time afterwards, she saw the deceased bleeding vio-
lently from the nose, and crying bitterly. She heard no
more of her until after her death. In reply to a' question
from the Magistrate, the witness answered that the de-
ceased was addicted to drink.

Martha Bacon stated that she drank some porter with
the deceased late on Saturday night, and at that time she
was sober, and had no black eye. The magistrate inquired
if the body had been opened or examined by a surgeon ?
Lea answered net, but that a surgeon had got directions
to do so preparatory to the sitting of the coroner's jury,,
which is to be holden this day.
The Magistrate replied that liecared not about theco-
roner's jury, as he was determined himself to investigate
fully all such cases. He then gave directions that the
surgeon who would examine the body should, with the
other witnesses, be in attendance on this day, and that the
prisoner in the mean time should be detained.
