SECOND EXAMINATION OF AMBROSE, FOR THE
___ _ _

MURDER ON SAFFRON-HILL.

No sooner was it known in the neighbourhood where
the horrid murder of Ann Perry took place, that the
perpetrator was in custody, than vast numbers of people
who knew the prisoner and the unfortunate deceased,
flocked round the office to catch a view of the wretched
min, who was brought to the office io the custody of
Mr. Hewitt, the chief constable of Police at Mary-la-
bonne, and delivered over to Wainwright, one of the
officers of this establishment. He appears quite cool
and collected, and seemed quite indifferent.
Soon after eleven o'clock, Mr. Rogers the Magistrate,
took his at on the Bench, when the chief officer in-
formed hi& that Ambrose, the murderer, was in custody,
upon which the Magistrate ordered him to be placed
immediately at the bar. He walked from the lock-up
with a slow step, and stood very firmly at the bar during
the examination.

- The deposition taken last night before the Magis-1
trates at Mary-la-bonne Office was put in, and Betty,
the constable, was re-sworn and deposed to the same
effect as he did at Mary-la-bonne.
The prisoner was called upon for any thing he had to say, the
Magistrate first cautioning him not tocriminate himself. He then
entered into a long tale' corresponding exactly with the one told by
him at Mary-la-bonne Office which he signed by his own consent.
Mr. Barnley, the beadle of Saffron.bUl, and Mr. Read, the chief
officer of this office, identified him to be John Ambrose, who was
sought after for the murder of Ann Perry; and the prisoner was
remanded till Wednesday next.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex honoured
the Adelphi Theatre with his presence on Wednesday evening.
MANCHESTER, Nov. I.—Trade continues flat, and
yesterday's was another very dull market. Gray cloths
of an kinds have been heavy throughout the week, and
there is considerably less doing than there was three
weeks ago. At the prices which.were common before
any advance took place, sales are readily made, but
none Call be effected at higher rates.
MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Nov. 2.—John Johnson was
convicted of keeping a disorderly house in Thor nhaugh-
street ; but in consideration of his having left the house,
and offered to give security not to return to it, he was
only sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the
House of Correction. ' The cases before the Court be-
ing all disposed of at two o'clock, it was adjourned to
Thursday the 9th instant.

STAMFORD, Novoma 2.
Sunday eveaing last, William Mason, of Wainfleet,
St. Miry's (son of *Mr. Mason, an opulent farmer of
Northolme), suddenly subbed his wife with a sharp
butcher's knife near the breast, and afterwards cot his
own threat. It seems that Mason for sometime had been
jealous of his wife, and this occasioned frequent gnat:-
rels, the consequence was that she separated herself from
him, and took refuge in the house of her father, who re-
sides at Wainfleet Bank. This circumstance appears to
have preyed much on his mind, and his habits becarioe
unsteady. About sit o'clock on Sunday evening the
unhappy man went to an acquaintance, and requested
the loan of a pistol, which he refused to lend him.
—Finally, Mason took a knife from the woman's house
where he lodged, and with this deadly weapon pro.
ceeded to the abode of his father-in-law, where his wife
was sitting suckling her infant child, about seven weeks
old. On his entrance, ke inquired if she would again
live with him ? to which she replied in the negative.
He then immediately sprang forward, and stabbed her
so desperately with the kuife, that she fell to the ground,
and fears are still entertained for her life. Before the
father, who witnessed the dreadful deed, had time to,
recover from his surprise, and arrest the hand of Mason,
the latter had cut his own throat, .:nd lay weltering its
his blood. He fully effectei his purpose as regarded
himself ; for, although surgical assistance was rendered,
he expired on Tuesday afternoon.—Stainford Mercury.
