none of his intentions, because of its being considetedi
an unequal match.
In this case, objections were taken to certain inter-
rogatories put to a person named Richard l3eansont,
examined as a witness in the cause, on the ground of
irrelevant matter being introduced by his answers,
reflecting upon Dr. Batton, one of the Learned Civi-
lians of this Court, and a Counsel in the cause, and
also upon other persons.
Sir WILLIAM SCOTT said he had received a me-
morial from Dr. Batton on the subject, which he had
not bad time to read. That memorial seemed to
state very strong objections to the admission of such
facts as had been thereby elicited, and also to the
form of interrogatories and answers taken down by
the examiner. Sir Wm. Scorr said, in justice to
Dr. Batton, he should not decide upon the objections
until he had an opportunity of reading his memorial.,
The evidence having occupied the attention of the,
Court the whole of this day in hearing it re td, the
cause stands over till a future day for argument.

MARLDOROUOU-STRIFT.—Janc Rogers, the unfurl Amite woman
who was so dreadfully wounded by J. Bennet, the p.uticulats of
which we related yesterday, -vas not dead at four o'clock yester-
day afternoon ; but the report of the surgeons was the same as
on the former day, that her state was hopeless. Mr. I.lwvica
attended at the Hospital from this Office on Thursday evening, to
take her depositions' which were in substance what the prisoner
had confessed to Goodchild and Court. She stated that he talked
very calmly to her for some time after she had let him in, and
he had used kind language to her before she let him in. On a
sudden he gave bee a severe blow with a cutting weapon on the
back of her head, which knocked her down ; be repeated his
blows, and next knelt upon her, and cut her throat. He then
escaped, and witnesossith much difficulty crawkd to the door,
which was open, and soon after a man who was parang assisted
her, and gave an alarm. Witness stated that she had lived
with him many years, and he had often tin earened to kill her;
she at length left him for safety, and married Rogers.—The pr-
goner was remanded till next Monday.
Matthias Maher, for forgery, Leon de C,auaux, for
stabbing a Catholic I'riest, and David Davis, for
shooting at Lord PALmEasTort, who were acquitted
at the Old Bailey Sessions on the ground of insanity,
but ordered to be confined until his Majesty's plea-
sure should be known, have been removed to Beth-
lehem Hospital.

About eleven o'clock yesterday morning, as the
female servant of Mr. Oust., at No. 1, Bernard-
street, Russell square, was cleaning the windows of
the upper storey, her foot slipped, and she fell into
the area, when she was literally dashed to pieces.
Isounrs.—An Inquest was held yesterday, at Poplar, on the
bode of Captain Gxuacs SCUELUFI.II, a Naval Officer belonging
to .tltona, whose body was futn:d in the City Canal : his wateh
and a large sum being found upon him, it was probable that he
had walked into the Canal by mistake, and the Jury returned a
verdict " Accidentally drowned."—Another Inquest was held
at Tottenham, on the body of WaLLIAM BALLARD, aged 20, who
was drowned while assisting in conducting a barge down the
River Lea, during the late flood, On account of the banks
being overflowed, the deceased had mounted the towing horse :
the animal walked into the river; the horse saved itself by swim-
ing, but the young man sank to rise no more. Verdict," Acci-
dentally drowned in the bar flood."
A'. EXT*AOLOIXARY NIANIAC.—There exists at present, in the
Arrondissement of Aralion, a young girl whose miud is deranged,
and who is persuaded that she has communication with an An-
gel. After remaining thirty nights in the open air, in the court-
yard of her father's house, she imagined that she must go to sleep
in the cemetery of her parish, and in the name of her Angel, she
ordered two of her neighbours to carry thither the stone on
which she was to repose. This extraordinary conduct has given
rise to a thousand absurd tales. It is asserted that this girl has
the gift of performing miracles ; that she passes over a river with
her feet quite dry; that she exists without eating; and that the
most abundant rain v•ould not wet her. Credulous people have
fancied they saw something miraculous when there was nothing
but madness. The Administration and the Physicians are in Cell.
sequence on the alert.
