Yesterday Jane Cillixe Vetio• milletad.foi siilfol
murder of Alice Bolus, in the !latish ally. Paul's,:
Shadwell. „.
James Bolus was an officer of the Thames Police,l
and husband to the deceased. Eis wife was much
addicted to liquor ; and on the Morning on which she!
had the affray with the prisoner, was intoxicated be-
fore he left his home. She was about to strike him
with a shovel, when;. in disarthing her of it, she fell
and bruised her head. OA hisieturn home she was
lying on the bed, and said Mrs.,Collips had.given her
her death blow. This occurred on the 25th of June,
and the deceased died on the sth of July following.
Esther Mont deposed to having heardahe prisoner
use threatt:ning langoage against Mrs. Bolus. The
latter had sent Mrs. Collins's little boy on the evening
before, to her mother's house fo: cheese, and.on the
following morning accused the child of having stolen
,her money, and bought the cheese without her orders
Mrs. Collint came into the shop and swore she would
have Bolus's life.
• -Eleanor Hagan described the•nature of the quarrel
and fight between the parties. Mrs. Bolus, who was
much intoxicated, ran into a house after Mrs. Collins's
child, when the prisoner ;mixed her by the hair, and n
scuffle ensued. They fell through awindo. Thd
deceased -bad the appearance of having been before
in a fray. •
Mr. Tolman, a surgeon, attended. Mrs. Bolus pre-
vious to her death. She complained of a severe pain
across her chest. On opening.her body, he discover-
ed few symptoms of inflammation,•but a large quan-
tity of extravasated blood in the lunge. bead
was• much bruised„hut the.effiqn of blood is the
chest had been the trunaest cause of her death. Oa
cross-examinpionv he considered that great bodily ex;
ertion, and previous brtaiaes on the head,,might have
produced a rupuye of the vessels sufficient toacconnt
for the quantitrelfr.;aravasated blood.
. Mr. Baron Guattaai thoUght there was nothing in
this case that amounted to a charge of murder. Whe-
ther the prisoner had been guilty of manslaughter de-
pended on the belief of the Jury, whether or not, in
the first place, the contest with the deceased was jus-
t:fiable from parental feeling ; and secondly, whether
it was the violence,of the prisoner which had produc-
ed the death. of Mrs. Bolus, who was evidently a
person of drunken habits, and who had previously re-
ceived a bodily injury in the scufft. with her husband.'
—Verdict—.Not Guilty.
S. Love was indicted for robbing Mary Tell of a
cotton shawl. The prosecutrix deposed, that the pri.
saner knocked her down, left her bleeding, and snatch/
ed her shawl, with which he ran off. Me passed her
twice before he robbed her, and she had a fell view
of his face ; she was, therefore, positive.he was_ the
map. This took place in the middle of Brick-fane.
Another woman, that was in company with the pro-
secutrix, corroborated her testimony. In half an hour
afterwardsahe prisoner was apprehended, and she saw
hun at the watch-house.
R. Chappel, a post-boy, saw a man running very
fast before the watchman, about half.past 12 o'clock
on the night in question, and moo after he picked up
the shawl:
Wm. Slatter, a watchman, took the prisoner, wbo
was running as hard a* he could.
The prisoner shewed an ulcer on his ancle, which,
be said, be bad received•at the capture of Banda and
Amboyna,
.under Admiral Rainier; which disabled
him almost from walking, much lees running. Guilty
—Death.

William Boyer was indicted (Or breaking and, en=
tering the divellinthousii of Isaac Snovisill, and steal.
ing 17 guineas in gold, one 7s. piece, £l6 in silver,
and divers other articles, the property of the said Isaac
,nowsill, on SUnday, the 31st July; about 3 o'clock,
in the afternoon, Mary Holt, widow, being then in the.
oute. The most material witness was Benjiniin
Johnson, one of the Police Office's of the City of
London. .He stated, that on the morning of the do
laidin the indictment, the witness was in compitny
with a person named Joe Golding, in a public4iouse'
in Brooks's-market, from whom he received•some in-
formation:at to a robbery that was to be committed
that day in. Gray's•inn•lane. They were leaving the
house when theprisoner came in, and addressed Gold.=
ingasnn old acquaintance. The prisoner began by
telling Golding that be was then followed by the
trap, meaning officers of justice, and lifter some fur.
ther conversation, and an assurance by Golding that
Johnson was to be depended upon, the prisoner went.
on to make such-communications as left no doubt in
;Johnson's mind that the prisoner was the person by
whom ttie robbery in Gray's.inn-lane was to be perpe.
crated. He accordingly watched him, in company
with another officer of the name of Bray. 'Tile
soner was seen by these officers to enter the house
.twice, and the second time he came out, the offi
_

ing then satisfied that the robbery had been cum.
(pitted, took him into custody, and on searching bun,
'dm ProPert7-wAs found vpon.him..
On the part of the prisoner, an attempt was made.,
to invalidate the testimony of Johnson, by adducing
the 'keeper of the watch-house, int* which the prisoney
'hid hien cartied, who smut that Johnson informed
11;lea that on the first occasion on which the prisoner
eitne out of the prosecutor's house, the robbery being
then Unaccomplished, he. (Johnson) said to him
" You damned tool, go in again ; there is nobody
coming." This was positively denied.both by John-
:Sin and his brother olcer, named Bray. ,
