James Knight, a young man in the garb of an ostler, was
charged with stealtig a 51. Bank of England note, under the
following circumstances :—The prisoner, having been for some
time out of a situation, was a sort of " hanger-on" and occa-
sional servant at the Swan Tavern, w
in Mount-street, Gr-
venor-square, kept by Mr. hmes
Mitchell. On Wednesday
last he was entrusted with a five-pound note to get change, and
with which he decamped. Information being given to the
police, be was stopped yesterday, at Hounslow, as he was passing
through the town, the police recognizing him Lom the descrip-

-
UNION HALL,_(THIS DAY.)
Two fashionably dressed gentleman, named William An-
drews and Timothy Jones, were placed at the bar, before Mr.
Cottingham, charged with being drunk, and incapable of tak-
inc, care of themselves.
7Police constable 159 AI, stated that he met the gentleman
in Welling'on-street, about ten o'clock, last night ; they were
both so intoxicated, that they could hardly walk. He went up
to theta, and asked them where they resided, but they were
incapable of answering him ; he, therefore, took them to the
stat ion-house.
One of them said he had been tasting wine in the London
Docks, and the ether said he had been helping his friend ; but,
after leaving the Docks, time to them was a complete blank,
till they awoke in the station-house.
The policeman stated that Mr. Andrews hail 2501. in bank--
notes in his pock( t.
Mr. COTTI Ncttam told them that they ought to be ashamed
of their conduct. He considered that they had had sufficient
punishment by being locked up all night in the station-house.
He hoped this would be a warning to wine• merchants, not to
give orders for to ting their wine to parties who did not know
how to conduct themselves.—They were then discharged.

HE MURDER AT PUTNEY.
LATEST PARTICULARS—(THIS DAY.)
About half-past ten o'clock this morning, Inspector Pearce,
of the A division, received intelligence which leaves very little
doubt but that the monster will be safe in his custody in the
course of a few hours. The moment the news came to the
ears of Pearce, he at once went and divested himself of his
ordinary police apparel, and put on a suit of private clothes,
and for fear of any resistance on the part of Good, should k be
so fortunate as to capture him, he has obtained the valuable
assistance of police-constables Gouges and Brook, who are also
in private apparel, and 'have all three departed on their jour-
ney, which we hope may prove successful. Pearce, on being
terrogated as to the road he was going, very wisely refused
to tell, because, says he, " If it should reach the culprit's tars,
he will of course bolt." So sanguine was Pearce when he
started of apprehending Good, that he said, "I am greatly
mistaken if I come back without him." A report was current
this morning that the murdered female had been owned, but
upon making inquiry at the proper quarter we find that such
was not the case.

A labouring man named Edward Whitehead applied at Union
Hall this day, and stated that he met Daniel Good on Thurs-
day morning last in the' City. He appeared greatly excited,
and wished him to write a letter to his master
for him. They went into the Three Tuns, Coleman-
street, for that purpose. The subject of the letter
was that he was going into the country for a few days to see his
friends, and would return to his employment in the early part
of next week. While he was writing the letter, Good seemed
greatly excited; he exclaimed several times, "Good God,"
" I have done it," " There she is," and several other expres-
sions that attracted the novice of the landlord, and several
customers in the house. He afterwards left him in Cheap-
side; Good walked in the direction of Whitechapel. He
was dressed very shabby • he had an old black hat on, blue coat,
brown kerseymere breeches, and shoes which appeared very
much worn. Mr. Cottingham bound over the informant, to
appear and give evidence at the inquest, next Tuesday.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
WIGAN.
The Committee met at eleven o'clock.
The vote of Joseph Walsh, which was objected to on the
part of the petitioner, and adjourned from yesterday, was pro-
ce.ded with. The case was under the consideration► of the
Committee when we went to press.

LONGFORD.
According to the arrangement made yesterday with the
Counsel of both parties, this Committee only met this morn-
ing; at eleven o clock, pro forma, to adjourn till Monday.

GREAT MARLOW.
Mr. TALBOT replied this morning at great length upon the
evidence against the vote of Jason Povey, which was objected
to on Wednesday by the petitioners Counsel on the ground of
bribery and has occupied the Committee ever since.
The room was then cleared. In about a quarter of an hour
the parties and Counsel were re-admitted, when
The CHAIRMAN stated that the vote 'was a bad vote and
must be struck off.

Mr. Sergeant Witaxonast then addressed the Com-
mittee on the part of the petitioner, and expressed a hope
that, as the vote of Charles Gibbons was retained upon
the sitting Member's poll solely on account of the credit
given to the testimony Gf Richard Gibbons, in opposi-
tion to the evidence of the voter himself, and as this
Richard Gibbons had been convicted before the Committee of
giving false evidence in another case (for which he was now
paying the penalty by incarceration in Newgate), the Commit-
tee would re-consider their decision. The Learned Sergeant
cited several cases to show that the Committee had the power
so to do.

The CHAIRMAN then said, that Mr. Austen should be heard
in reply on Monday, at eleven o'clock.
The Committee then adjourned.

CRIMINAL COURT -(THIS DAY)
OLD COURT.
( Bel Ire Mr. Justice COLI,RIDGE. )
Anscombe, ageil :33. was placed at the bar,
ellar:;ed with the wilful murder of her illegitimate child.
The prisoner was a widow, employed in the house of Mr.
Wood, of Great Queen-street, Westminster. She had chil-
dren during her marriage, which were still living. The child
in question .was discovered in the dust-hole with a string round
its neck. A surgeon was sent for, who examined the child,
and from his evidence it appeared the au had been born alive.
The Learned•JuDGE in summing up said that if the jury were
not entirely satisfied with the evidence with respect to the
charge of murder, it was still competent for them to return a
verdict of guilty of concealment of the birth.
The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty of con-
cealment of the birth only, and the prisoner was sentenced to
eigl.t months' imprisonment with hard labour.
