dusk on that day. She did not then appear to be in
trouble, and said she had been in the country. She said
she was wet, and had a bad day. I could not tell whether
she was wet. I did not see Patrick Lyons that day. I
had been in the habit of seeing Lim daily before that day.
By the male prisoner : 1 did not see you that morning.
I did not ask your wife about you that day. I did not
see you since the Sunday before that. I have not heard
you have a row with your wife or lodgers before that day.
The female prisoner asked no question, observing that
the witness had said nothing of her but the truth.
Margaret Burns deposed : 1 live at Lower Bank-street,
Warrington. I have lived there four years. My house
is on the opposite side to Patrick Lyons, but not exactly
opposite. On the first Tuesday morning Biddy Collins
came to my house. She had no shoes or stockings on.
I went and looked, in consequence of what passed between
us, if Lyons' house were open or nor, and I saw it was
shut. At night, " between dark and that way," it was
open. I went into the house. Mrs. Lyons was in the
house, sitting by the side of the fire. When I went in,
I said where is Peggy Fahy ? She replied, she had passed
her in—(go.; home before her)—and added, that she owed
her ninepence, and she did not know how she was to get
it.

in the street, and you were committed for 14 days for it.
I was told by three Irishwomen that they had seen you
on the quay at Dublin ; and that you wished them to call
at your house in Bank-street, Warrington, and say that
you were enlisted in the East India Company's service,
and gone off to London.
Thomas Kenwright said—On Tuesday, the 4th of Feb-
ruary, I was working on the banks of the Sankey Canal,
near Fidler's Ferry. I saw a man there, but I did not
know him. He had a blue-striped slop on, and a waist-
coat over it. He had also a pair brown corded trowsers
and a cap on. [The male prisoner here said, " Snake
out, man, so that we can hear you.") He was running,
and turned round to look behind him. I cannot swear
to the man. He looked very much like the man at the
har ; but he was sweating very much, and his trowsers
were wet, either on the knee or behind ; he did not know
which.

William Frederick Parker, clerk to Mr. Nicholson,
clerk to the magistrates at Warrington, said—l know the
prisoner. He was fined under the bye-laws of Warring-
ton, and had come to the office five different times to pay
the money. He came on the 3rd of February, and asked
me to let him take time to pay the fine due that day until
the following morning. I granted it to him on condition
that he did not tell his neighbours ; and I intimated to
him that if not paid a distrePs warrant would issue. On
the 4th of February, (Tuesday,) about ten o'clock, he
called at the office, and paid me the eighteen pence he
owed. I am sure the prisoner was the man. I know
him well.

By the male prisoner: I did not ask your wife about
you that morning. I have known you since you came to
Warrington. I never km w you but to be a honest and
straightforward fellow. I never knew you quarrel with
your wife or neighbours. Peggy Collins told we she was
in a great fret ; and she was sure there was something
very bld amiss in your house. I did not see your wife
removing the furniture that day. I saw the dead body
" coming out" when the policemen found it. It was be-
fore dark. Peggy Collins, at that time, was in the
gathering, looking on amongst the rest. I knew then
that she had been to the police. She went down twice to
tell her story. The woman was missed, and she went
down to tell what she had heard. All the neighbours
were in a great state all the while.

By Patrick Lyons.—l did not take eighteen pence from
your wife on the Wednesday morning. To the Judge.—
Will you ask my wife, sir, if she paid eighteen pence on
the Wednesday morning ?
His LORDSHIP.—No ; that is contrary to law. Your
wife may make any statement she pleases, but you cannot
ask her any question.
By Bridget Lyons.—l am quite sure you did not come
to pay me any money on the Wednesday morning.
Patrick Doubt, a labourer, living at Warrington, stated
that on the morning of the 4th of February he met Patrick
Lyons near the Cattle Market and Old Swan Hotel,
Liverpool. He was dressed in a striped blue frock and
brown trowsers. It was about two o'clock in the after-
noon.

John Reynolds, the occupier of a house with John
Long, opposite the prisoner's, in Lower Bank street, War-
rington : About ten o'clock on the night of the first
Tuesday in February, the female prisoner came into my
bedroom, and asked leave to bring some of her things
there, which I granted. The next morning, I saw some
furniture there, On the same day, (Wednesday,) I saw
Bridget Lyons again. She was waiting there to go to the
pawnshop. I know Brandwood, the policeman. He was
at my house on that day, and in consequence of what he
told me, I called the female prisoner down stairs. He
asked for her key, and she said her husband had it in the
country, where he was at work. Brandwood took her
away, and afterwards returned, and a key was found in
the room behind the bed. It was not my key. Brand-
wood took it away with him.
By Patrick Lyons.—l did not ask your wife any ques-
tion about you. I knew you in Warrington. I never
saw you have a row with your wife or neighbours. You
were a very quiet man. I did not hear the policeman ask
any question about you.
The female prisoner put no question to this witness.
Thomas Newcombe, a labourer, at Warrington, said,—
I went to lodge with Lyons about ten weeks before Christ-
mas. The last time I slept in his house was on a Sunday
night. After ten o'clock on Monday night I knocked at
his house, and there was no answer. Lyons had not said
anything to me about getting fresh lodgings. I went to
Lyons' house on the next morning, about ten. 1 think
I knocked at the door ; the shutters were closed. I went
again, a third time, about six o'clock in the evening. The
house was then shut. I went again and found his wife in.
and I then left, and afterwards returned. I saw Collins and
Burns come to the house, and heard them ask where Peggy
Fahy was ? She answered that she lett her in the country.
I had my supper, and, as I was leaving, the female pri-
soner asked me to help her to loose the cords of the bed,
and I did so. and took it down stairs. When she told me

By Patrick Lyons.—There were some people breaking
stones by the side of the road when I met you.
James Nangle, Recruiting Serjeant in the East India
Company's Service, stationed at Dublin. proved that the
male prisoner enlisted in that corps on Thursday, the 6th
of February last. He gave his right name, and said his
parish was Caraban, county Galway. When he first came
to me he had a blue striped slop on and dark cord trow-
sers. He wore a cap on his head, and said he had last
come from Lancashire.

By Patrick Lyons.—You said you were 5 feet 8 inches
in height, but I thought not ; and you then told me that
you would measure it in the morning, as you had no rest
for two nights. _ _ _

Dagnall. on being recalled at the request of the female
prisoner, said that she was searched soon after her appre-
hension, but nothing was found upon her.
Thomas Cavanagh, one of the Dublin police, said that
he went to a public-house, in Charles-street. Westmin-
ster, on Wednesday, February 12, in consequence of
information he had received, and there saw Patrick Lyons.
In reply to his questions, he told him he was from the
County Galway, and had arrived on that morning. Wit-
ness then informed him that he was charged with the
wilful murder of Aftvgaret Fahy, at Warrington ; to which
he reJied, " You have got the right man, but I did not
commit the murder." He was dressed in a striped blue
slop, cap, drawers, and trowsers, of which I took posses-
sion. I marked them at the station, left them there all
night, and then brought them to Warrington, where I
gave them up to Brandwood. There was a stain, of what
I believed to be blood, on the knee of the trowsers, and
on the corresponding knee of the trowsers there were also
stains.

husband's sister: She told me to getlodgings elsewhere that

I slept in the kitchen that night.' Bridget Lyons
sat on a form by the fire-side, just by the coal-hole.
Peggy Lyons was there, and lay down to sleep. When I
awoke the next morning she was sitting in the same place.
She said she removed her furniture, because she was
afraid the police would come and take it the next
morning.

Hugh Eccles, of the London police force, said—l re-
collect Lyons being brought to the Fleet street' station,
on the 12th of February. I was put in charge cif him,
and when in the cell he made a statement. I' had not
spoken to him, or slid anything to induce him to make
the statement. He said he expected to sleep in bed to-
night, but he found he was mistaken, but one comfort to
his mind was, that he had nothing to do with the murder.
He said, " My wife done it. although I was present when
it was done. hlv wife done it ; bad luck to her and the
first day I saw her." He then asked for same dinner
which was given to him. _ _

The female prisoner asked if "that man." (her husband)
had said how she did it. The witness replied in the nega-
tive, and the prisoner then said, she was as innocent of
the crime as the child unborn.

The female prisoner said this witness had stated nothing

mainder of their painful and anxious duty. He mentioned
that if one party alone committed the act, and the other
concurred in it by lending assistance, or preventing in-
terruption, then they were both equally guilty ; but if the
jury thought one of the prisoners alone had committed
the murder without the consent and concurrence of the
other—which, however, it was very difficult under the
circumstances of this case to suppose then, they
would acquit the one and convict the other. His
lordship then went carefully through the whole of the
evidence, commenting briefly upon it as he proceeded,
and bringing prominently before the jury those parts of
the case which bore most strongly in support of the guilt
or innocence of the accused. He described the case as
one of a very aggravated nature, observing that it was,
no doubt, a very lamentable thing to hear the mutual
statements of the prisoners against each other. If they
were satisfied of the guilt of the parties now on their trial,
he had no doubt they would have sufficient firmness and
manliness to return a verdict of guilty ; but if, on the
other hand, they had any reasonable doubt, then they
would return a verd!ct of acquittal.
The jury, after about three minutes' deliberation,found
both the prisoners guilty, and they were then called upon
in the customary solemn form if they had anything to say
why sentence of death should not be passed upon them.
To this inquiry, the male prisoner made no answer ;
but the female prisoner said—" 1 am innocent of the
murder, sir, as on the night I was born."
His LORDSHIP having put on the black cap, amidst the
most profound silence, proceeded to pass the dread sen-
tence of the law. He said—Patrick Lyons and Bridget
Lyons, you have been severally found guilty of wilful
murder; and I have no doubt that if the opinion of every
one assembled in this court could be taken, there would
not be found one single individual who would not
entirely concur in the propriety of that verdict. It
is a verdict returned on evidence of the cl earest and
most conclusive character, and I doubt whether you
yourselves can, for one moment, have deceived yourselves
into the belief that there was any doubt as to what would
be the result of this trial. I would fain hope, at least,
that such has been your conviction, and that you have
thought, ere this, of the dreadful result that must follow
such a verdict. You have occasioned the violent and
sudden death of a fellow-creature, in good health—in
early life—and sent her to her long account with-
out one moment of preparation. It is a fearful circum-
stance to look upon for you—you also in the prime of
life, full of health and life to day, and to reflect that I
have to doom you, ere long, to an ignominious death, at
the hands of the public executioner. There is no hope
for you in this life : your earthly trial is over. The eye
of the judge is not permitted to look upon the murderer
with pity. I am bound to order the law to be
executed upon you, and to leave you without one
ray of hope that it will not be carried into effect.
The law is more merciful than you have been. The
law allows you time for preparation : you will have
a space allotted you• to prepare yourselves for that
dread trial which, ere long, you have to undergo. Let
the entreat you, therefore, to make what preparation you
can for that fate which awaits you. When you are
removed hence you will be attended by some one, some
minister, according to the creed you hold. Listen to him,.
I pray you, with earnestness. He will tell you all you
have to dread, and will gladly hold out to you
all such hope and consolation as are offered
to all erring mortals. That is no part of
my province. I will not trespass on his holy office.
will not alarm you with fears nor attempt to comfort you
with hope—but I will leave that to him. It only remains
for me to pronounce the solemn doom of toe law, which
is, that you be taken hence to the place from whence you
came, and thence to the place of execution ; and that you
be severally hung by the neck till you be dead, and that,
after death, your bodies be buried in the precincts of the
prison in which you are confined after this sentence ; and
may the Lord have mercy on your souls !

HIGGINSON v. HIGGINSON AND OTHERS, EXECUTIIS
AND EXECUTORS.—This was an action on a bond entered
into by the late Mr. J. Higginson for payment of £4,00!
to his sister, the plaintiff. Mr. Manisty having obtaine'l
a rule nisi to put off the trial, on account of the absent
of a material witness, named Lawton, Mr. Cowling
showed cause, on the ground that Lawton had sailed to
America, to settle there, in May, 1850 that the defers'
dant's attorney had been shown a letter from him I,a
August last, from which he might have learned In°
address, and taken proper steps for procuring his evidence;
but that he had neglected to do so, and did not eveg
allege that he had ever any intention of doing S-cy. There'
fore there could be no excuse for such neglect. The
learned gqntleman also urged that the examination of fit'
Jonathan Higginson, which had been taken before an
arbitrator, showed that Lawton could not have known
anything of his own knowledge of the state of the an'
counts between the plaintiff and the executors of the late
Mr. Higginson. Mr. Manisty contended that the plain:
tiff having filed a bill in Chancery, in November last'
against the defendants and the assignees of Messrs. 13111.4
ton, Irlam, and Higginson, the defendant's attorney Or
posed that he did not intend to proceed with the actin°'
and, consequently, had not taken the steps he otherwise
would have done. The learned gentleman declined te,
refer the cause, as it was a matter which more properly
belonged to a court of equity. His lordship cordially
joined the learned counsel in the suggestion of the learned
gentleman (Mr. Manisty), in supposing that this wal:

which the defendant was to have the goods was- only•otte•

after hearing all the evidence, and his lordship's summing
up, rather unexpectedly returned a verdict for the alairy

plaintiff, George Briggs, is a manufacturer and totted'
spinner at Blackburn, and the defendant is a conimiisio°
agent at Manchester, carrying on business under the
name of Joseph John Moody and Co. During the last
year, the defendant had in his employment a man nnol,,ea,
Thomson, who was in the habit of attending the BIOL.,
burn market, for the purpose of effecting sales. On the
3rd of April, 1850, Thomson entered into a contract to,
supply the plaintiff with 30,0001b5. of 32's twist, equal to

The male prisoner here said—" I am willing to die, my
lord, so that my wife goes along with me." He then
lett the dock as unconcernedly, or perhaps more so, than
any feeling spectator lett the Court.
The female prisoner, ;vho seemed more excited, ex-
claimed—" He (the husband) can clear me in a moment
if he likes."

The culprits were then removed, but, previously to
leaving the dock, although under the dread sentence of
death, they exchanged looks of inexpressible hatred to-
wards each other. The coolness almost callousness of the
murderers astonisned every one who noticed them during
the trial ; and it was remarked by gentlemen of long
standing at the bar, that they, had never witnessed so
much firmness displayed by any prisoners since the trial
and condemnation of Reid for the triple murder at Mir-
field, in York, hire, some five years since.

This case, which was unfinished on Saturday evenifig
when the Court rose, was resumed this morning, when, 9
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS, for the defence, cane", p
number of witnesses, with a view to shew that the 9':d
was Joseph's, and that he had. in his own name obtatn,,

The trial lasted the whole of the day, and the court was
adjourned at half-past five.
The grand jury were discharged at a quarter-past one
o'clock. They represented, through Mr. Entwisle, that,
although they were very desirous not to interfere in any
manner with the arrangements for conducting the busi-
ness of the assize, still it was extremely inconvenient to
those who formed the jury to abide by the present arrange-
ments. They suggested that, if an additional number of
bills could be appropriated each day, the grand jurors
would he enabled to discharge their duties at much less
cost of time.

His LOUDSHIP was sorry the grand jury should be put
to any inconvenience by the arrangement that had been
made. The object of that arrangement was to save the
vast expense which would otherwise be incurred by bring-
ing so large a number of witnesses to the town before
there was a probability of their attendance being required.
The labours of the grand jury were discharged much sooner
than those of the court ; but at the same time it should be
borne in mind that the new regulation was not made by.
