THE TVALWORTH MURDERS.  During the examination at the police court a young woman sat at the solicitors' table, and frequently sobbed aloud, especially while the letters were read which the prisoner Youngman had addressed to Mary Wells Streeter, and which were found in her writing-desk by her father after her melancholy death. The young woman, on being  questioned as to the cause of her grief, stated that the letters were identical in expression with those which the prisoner had addressed to herself many months ago, when he courted her in Staffordshire. Some of these letters she showed to the persons sitting near her, and they were in many cases word for word the same as those before the court. In these letters Youngman, who at that time passed under the name of Godfrey, made violent protestations of love to the young woman, who held a situation in the family of a gentleman in Staffordshire, and, as in the case of Mary Wells Streeter, implored her to allow him to assure her life. He told her also, as he more recently told the unfor tunate Mary Wells Streeter, that he was possessed of independent property, and that he should have plenty of money after his marriage, but that meanwhile the young woman must provide as much as she possibly could to meet the expenses of the wedding day. Curiously also he had made arrangemeits for the wedding to be celebrated in the parish church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, in which the banns between him and Mary Wells Streeter were read for the last time on the Sunday immediately preceding the murder. While these negotiations were going on, and after obtaining the young woman's consent to accompany him to Australia, he committed a burglary, and was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. It appears that he pledged his coat to buy the wedding ring, which he left in the charge of the young woman, and she when Youngman was arrested pledged the ring and bought him flannel jackets to wear in prison. He managed to communicate with her and to obtain from her a promise that she would marry him at th• expiration of the term of imprisonment, but before he was liberated she left the place she was in and came to London, and he never saw her again until yesterday morning, when, by the permission of the police authorities, she was admitted to his room upon the condition that they were not to shake hands or to communicate with each other in any way except in the presence of the police. The prisoner appeared to be astounded wken the young woman entered the room ; he placed both hands before his face, turned away from her, and could not be induced to say a word. She sat below him in the police court nearly the whole of the day, but he never looked to. wards her, keeping his eyes steadily fixed upon the witL nesses as one after another appeared in the box. The young woman also states that when the prisoner was introduced to her father as her future husband, he mad• very strong objections, observing that ho did not believe that he was a man of independent property, and that he did not at all like the look of him. He strongly advised his daughter to break off the match, but she fancied that her father was unreasonably prejudiced, and the correspondence between them went on until Youngman was convicted of the burglary for which he suffered 12 months' is• carceration.  The funeral of the unfortunate Mrs. Youngman and her two sons, Charles and Thomas, took place this morning at the Woking Cemetery. The bodies were removed last night from the Newington Workhouse privately, and the only persons in attendance, as mourners, were the husband of the deceased and her son John.  It has transpired that insanity will be proved at the trial of more than one msmber of the family on the mother's
