TELLIGENCE.

COURT OP CHANCERY, DL.cn to.
MARIA V: VtLIDAN.
Mr. HART applied for a writ of we exeat repo
against the defendant, who had entered into a contract
for the purcha'e rf a cottage, for S 0001. and it was
now feared was about to leave the kingdom to evade
the performance.
Mr. SHADWELL, for the defendant, observed, that
there- was not the least pretence /FT the application:
the plaintiff had failed in making out a gopd title, and
the defendant had very properly refused to p.rform the
•
contract.
The LORD CHANCALOR said, a sufficient ground
had not bees stated for granting the writ. He ob-
served upon the necessity of reading all the affidavits
in cases of this nature, even though they had been de-
cided by the Vice-Chancellor, or Master of the Rolls.
It was only the day before, that a writ had been
brought to him to be signed, a few minutes befoie hit-
going to the 'House of Lords. He had time but to take a
cursory view of the affidavits, and signed the writ.
Between two and three o'clock this morning. however,
before he went to sleep, he began to doubt on the pro-
priety of issuing the writ. The doubt he still enter-
tained, and therefore begged, that if the writ had not
issued, it might be brought back to him.
Nothing of the least public interest occurred in the
Cohn during the day.
The case of 41Glassington v. Thwaites" was fixed
for Tuesday. Mr. Agar having now recovered from
his indisposition.

This was an action oo the statute 57 Geo. l I I. e. 19, against two
of the inhabitants of the Hundred of Hertford, to recover canapes-
. anion foe the destruction of the plaintiff's property, in a riotous
mob, ar tbe late !Section for-the borough of Hertford.
Mr. Botsotto submitted that this was not a ease within the Act
of Parliament, inasmuch as breaking winaows was not to be con-
sidered as a beginning: to demolish the house. The 57 Geo. Il I.
was to be construed in pari malaria with the That Act I Geo. I.
It was held In Reid v. Clarke, 7 Term Reports, 496, that the Hun-
dred are not liable in an action for damages brought by a person
injured by a mob beginning to pull down his house, unless the riot
be of such a kind as to amount to felony, and that the breaking
windows was not within the Mot Act. '
The Loan Ones lissom was, however, of opinion that the 57th

remedy against the Bemired in cases of this nature, be bad no

mike let had made her ill. There was some coffee standing In the
kettle. I emptied it obi, and then made some hyssop tea; I gave
some of the tea to Mary and Margaret, but they would not drink it.
Martell that it had the same bad taste as the coffee; I then tasted it,
sod Isowd that it had not the taste of hyssop tea; I then washed'

hived -of a dead child ; the child was full grown, but was quite
black ; my datighter was a little better after her confinemeat, but she
died on the Tuesday following. Before she died she said, in the
presence of the prisoner, " Bob has poisoned me and killed the
chad, but killing me is nothing to killing the child." The prisoner
said he had put nothing in the coffee. Mary said," You did,"and
whatever it was, you brought it from Whitehaven." The prisoner
made no answer. Mr. Wright, a doctor, first saw my daughter on
the Sunday afternoon. Margaret, the little girl, was a long time
before she recovered. She had no doctor. The prisoner had only
been Married to my daughter about three weeks before.
CMGs-examined by Mr. Tltacaeuaw—The prisoner fetched the
doctor. The Coroner did not attend until the Friday after my
daughter died. We were going to buryter on the Thursday, but
mime of the parishioners Interfered. The prisoner was present at

111..ry Briggs--I lie, at. Gosforth. I know the prisoner. Om
the Saturday night I was sent for to see Sarah Fox. 1 found her
very sick, and she complained of thirst and a burning heat at the
stomach. I gave her nothing to drink. Sarah told me, in the

disagreeable appearance. I went again at about three o'clock on

She said she would never mend again. The deceased died ab,.ut
nine o'clock that evening. Half an boor before she died, she said
that she hoped Con would forgive all her sins, end she would for-
give Bob, but that she hoped he would suffer on earth as much -as

Nothing amnia was elicited in the cram-examination.
Ann Cormick sworn—l live at GoCerth. I knew the deceased.
I went to see her on the Tuesday afternoon, and stayed with her

repeated to me three times that she bad been poisoned to death.
bLry Pharaoh re-examined.—My daughter was in eery good
health oa the Friday, considering her situation.
wary Briggs the younger deposed, that she had visited the de-
ceased on the afternoon on which she died, and that the deceased
bad told the prisoner that the coffee she had taken had caused bet
Illness, and that he had poisoned her, but that killing the child was a
greater sin. The prisoner denied that he had put anything into the
coffee. Deceased did net say that site had seen the prisoner put
anything iuto the coffee.
David Saul sworn--I am a druggist, and reside at Whitehaven.
I remember on the 14th of September last a person coming into my
shop and asking me for twopennyworth of arsenic to kill rats with.
I cannot positively say that the prisoner was that man. I refused
t, lit the man have the arsenic, because I did not know hint. I
told Mm that it was a rule with me not to sell arsenic to a stranger,
unless he produced a second person to say what it was wanted tor.
There was at that time a person of the name of James in my shop.
The into spoke to Mr. James, and told him that be wanted some
arsenic. Mr. James said,* What, do you want to poison your wife
alrEady!" in a jocularway. The than said " No, B want It foe rats."
Upon Mr. James tellir g rive that he knew the man well, I let him
have about an ounce mud a quarter of sneak. I wrapped it up in

'.

three papers, and wrote the streifd N Ir. upon lt. told the
man to take care where he put the arse aid to keep hie meat and
milk covered when he laid it for the rats. There were at the time
about half a dozen people In the Chop.
John James dvosedlhat he Mid known the primmer ever sine,
he wu an infant. Witness recollected seeing him at the shop
Mr. Saul, it Whitehween, on the lath day of September. Within*
heerd Mm ask Mr. Saul for some arsenic to MU rats with. Wherein
said in joke to prisoner; " What !`are Ton going to poison your
wife already?". Prisoner said no, he wanted to kill rats. Mr.
Saul then asked' witness if he would be bound for prisoner. Wit-
, nem said that he would not be bound for him ; but that he knew
him very well. Witness then saw hit. Saul give the prisoner
something, which was wrapped up in paper, and marked " peteon,".
and instructed the prisoner how it was to be used.
Henry Bertuff deposed that he .knew the prisoner; remem-
bered seeing him on Sunday the 17th September. Witnete accons-
partied him to a. Mr. Atkinson's, where a sister of deceased was
living in service. The prisoner went to carry a bat to Hannah.
Hannahead that she understood Sarah was very poorly. Prisoner
said, " Tea, she was; that be had been at Whitehaven on Thor&
day, and bought her imme stuff; but that it had done her no good,
it had only given ber a good heckling."
William Wright sworn-1 am a surgeon, and reside at Gos-
forth. The prisoner came to me on the morning of. the 17th of
September, and a•ited me to send some medicine to his wife.
Ile raid that she had been ill all night, that her bowels were
much relaxed, and that she suffered great pain. I gave him some
medicine to take to her. The prboner came to me again on
the afternoon of that day, and said that his wife. was worse,
and that he wished me to ace her. I went to see het. I found
her very ill, complaining of sickness, headach, and pain in the
bowels. I was told that she had vomited very violently. I as.
slated the deceased at the delivery of her child on Monday,
the letils. She died on the Tuesday evening. I attended the
'Gerona's Inquest, but the body was not opened until Saturday.—
On that day, I, in conjunction with Mr. Lawson and Mr. Thump-,
' son, opened the body. The stomach was very much inflamed, and
In one part mostification had taken place. Tbr throat, mouth, and
tosser, were also induced and excoriated. There was ;not much
fluid in the stomach; what there was, was divided into two parts,
and one part was given to me and Mr. Lawson, and the other to
Mr. Thompson. The deceased appeared to have been In good
health, except in the parts which I have described. I have no dada
that ber death was produced by some corrosive poison.
Crowexamined.— When the prisoner first called upon me, !seat
two draughts to the deemed. The principal ingredient was lau-
danum. I alto sent some opium pills. There was no appearance
of .plum In the stomach when I examined it.
Jonathan Lupus Lawson-4 am a surgeon. On Saturday,
the end of September, I assbted at an examination of the body of
the deceased. The arms, face, breast, and as far down as the pit
of the stomach, were of a clay blue appearance. The lips were
dark coloured, and the lower extremities were more florid than
usual. There was nothing remarkable in the appearance of the
abdomen. On opening the body there was *profuse discharge of
a reddish liquor. The bowels were very much inflated and in-
flamed, and in one part appeared to be in a state of decomposition.
The stomach was more or leas inflamed in every part, and in one
part there were four dark gangrenous spots. In some parts the
coat of the stomach was destroyed, as if it bad been seared by a
red hot into. The toopte had a bailed appearance. I have no
doubt that these appearances were produced by some corrosive
poison. Arsenic would have produced them. I had a part of the
fluid consisted from the stomach, and applied several tests to it, but
the resultwas unsatisfactory. The quantity was too small.
Edward Thompson, another surgeon, confirmed the testimony of '
the preceding witnesses as to the state of the body when opened.
Witness had applied seven different tests tithat portion of thefluld
taken from the stomach, which had been given to him. Six of these
tests satisfied him that the contained arsenic, and by three of
them be had actually obtained the metal itself. Witness agreed with
the medical men who preceded him, in attributing the death of the
deceased to poison.
This was the ease for the prosecution. The prisoner said nothing
when called mean for his defence.
Air. Baran BULLOCK carefully summed up the case to the Jury,
who after turning round for a moment in the box, pronsmoced a
verdict of Guilty.
Mr. Baron Houncx immediately proceeded to pea magas of
death upon the prisoner. His Lordship was much affected whilst
be earnestly exhorted the prisoner to lose no time in
_preparing for
the awful change which he would so soon undergo. The execution
was directed to take place oir Monday next.
As mos as the lICIIIttIIce had been passed, it was intimated that
the prisoner writhed to address a few words to the Court. Silence

said) Goa toll/has viand. ‘• If," said he," I plead guilty, 1 Ad

Banan fins.xocc advised the prisoner to plead not guilty;
and assured hilt, that by 60 doing he would not be telling a lie, as
the meaning of the proceeding merely was, that by so doing the
accused merely put himself on his trial.
The prisoner, however, remained obstinate ; and a Jury was at
last sworn, to try whether be remained mute through obstinacy
and malice, or through the visitation of Goa?
Hr. Yotridge, the gaoler, was then examined as to the state of
the prisoner's mind. He stated that the prisoner, since his confrxe-
meat, bad displayed ne symptoms of insanity, but had been remark-.
ably well behaved. Prisoner had not acquainted witness with his
iotention not to plead. The prisoner hat been constantly visited
I.by Roman Catholic Clernmen.
On this evidence, the Jury returned a verdict, that the prisoner
remained mute through obstinacy.
The prisoner then gave in a paper, which he desired might be
banded up to the Judge, and which, he said, contained Ms reasons
for not pleading.
Mr. Baron Hoixocx again advised the prisoner to plead Not
Guilty.
The prisoner said that he wished the trial to go on as if he had
pleaded that plea; but that would aot pronounce the words
not guilty

Upon dm Mr. Baron HULLOCIC ordered the plea of" not guilty"
to be recorded.

Mr. COUITUAY (with whom was Mr. Aostomer) stated the
use to the Jury, and called thefollowing witnesses:—
Mary ,Graham stated-I live in Carlisle. I knew Mary
Brown, the deceased. I lived upwards of Bye months In her
house as a lodger. The prisoner was frequently its the habit
of coming to her house to see Mary.' He used to come about
once every three weeks. lie and Mary Brown bad a quarrel a shaft
time before her death. On the Monday before, prisoner came to
nay house, about 12 o'clock at night, and insisted upon searching to
Sad whether any man was in Mary Brown's house? I &dried him
to go away. I saw him again on the Wednesday, and I told him,
that if be warned Mary Brown, the best way would be to take her
away altogether. He said that he thought that would be the beet
way. On Wednesday, the 6th of September, Mary went away
about twelve o'clock to a neighbour's house, where the prisoner
was, and I did not see her again until the following day, when she
was brought home in a dying state.
Ann Irving examined-1 keep a puldic.house in Carlisle. The
prisoner carne to my.house about four o'clock in the afternoon en
the 7th of September. He asked me if I had heard of “ the mur-
der?" I said 4 No." He then said that there had been a murder,
and that he was the man who had done it—that he bad since walked
14 miles into Scotland, and had now come back to give himself up
to justice. Ile said, that the woman -whom be bad murdered was
named Mary Brown, and that she was a bad woman. He then
began to cry.
Ruth Williamson—l knew the deceased; I lived In the same
house with her ; I saw the prisoner at the house of Mary Brown
on the Sunday before her death; be and she came down stairs to-
gether; be was then threatening her; I recollect seeing them to-

not see her again ; the next day, about four o'clolt in the afternoon,
the prisoner same into my room, and said, " I have killed Mary
Brown—l have hammered her brains out." At this I lost my re-
collection; when I recovered, I saw the prisoner stretched on a bed;
I then went oat to give an alarm; the prisoner took me and a meat
'number of persons to a field to chew them where Mary
Brawn wee lying. In the field we found Mary Brown stretched on
the ground. She was not quite dead, but senseless. One of her fin-
gers was broken. Prisoner said that he broke that finger with the
second blow of a hammer, which he had thrown away.
William Shepherd proved that on the Ern of September, be saw
the deceased and the prisoner go into the field, in which she was
afterwards found.

William

in a hedge near the spot where the body of the deceased was found.
