At the Old Bailey, London, on Monday week, the trial was commenced ofßobertCoombes,aged 13, who is charged with the murder of his mother, at Plaistow, early, in July. John Fox, 39, a sailor, was charged with being an accessory after the fact. A younger brother of the prisoner Coombes, who had also been charged with the murder, but against whom the Crown offered no evidence, gave an account of the crime. Mrs. Coombes. who was the wife of a sailor, had apparently spoken angrily to the boys, and Robert thereupon announced to his younger brother his intention of " doing for" his mother and then going "to some island." A few nights afterwards he stabbed his mother twice in the breast with a large knife, and when the smaller child expressed a doubt as to his having done so he told him to go into the bedroom and see for himself. The woman died, and the boys lived in the house for a fortnight afterwards, keeping the room in which the body lay locked. When the police were brought on the scene by a relative the two boys and Fox were found in the house playing cards, and it is alleged that Fox, who was taken to the house by the boys some days after the murder, shared the money the elder boy found in his mother's poeket. The jury found the prisoner Coombes guilty, but that he was insane at the time he committed the act. He will therefore be detained during Her Majesty's pleasure. They found -the prisoner Fox not THE JEWISH NEW YEAR 01 5456 Was ushered in on Wednesday evcning, Ist day of Tishri according to the Hebrew calendar which answers to September 19th of the Gentile arrangement, the latter dating back only 1,895 years, whilst the former goes back to the creation of the world. It will interest the readers of this paper doubtless to know that several of their number (and amongst them the writer of this paragi aph) were to be found worshipping at the Belgrave Street Synagogue in Leeds at Thursday morning's service (which commenced at 8-30, terminating at 1-15), and that their businesses were allowed to remain closed during the time of service. Some businesses will remain shut up until this (Saturday) evening, as the Festival of the Jewish New Year will not terminate . until Friday evening next, when the Sabbath (the seventh day) commences at Sunset and finishes at sunset on the Saturday. This will entail to the devout Jew the .loss of a considerable amount of wages for this week at least. Nevertheless many will be found making the sacrifice, and will willingly give their time to be in God's temple before the Ark of the Covenant and the two tables of stone, as shewn upon the wall of the sacred edifice facing east. At the service there was a congregation of about 1,000 persons. The preacher was the Rev. M. Abrahams. 8.A., who preached a capital sermon, which was listened to with wrapt attention. His hearers were enjoined to commence the new year in real earnest, and to continue to attend the Synagogue regularly during the services of Sabbaths, the five principal fasts, and above all at the Festivals of the Day of Atonement (a week hence), the Feast of Tabernacles (Oct. 3rd and 4th), the Passover in May, and the two days of Pentecost in June next. The reader of the prayers and other portions of the service could be heard distinctly, and the singing was extremely good. The blowing of the Ram's Horn at the close of the service was a notable event, typical of Israel in Egypt in the time of Moses. The Synagogue is a splendid building and is lit up with electric lamps and made very comfortable indeed.
