      wife , who are both elderly people , went on thc 2 nd of July to the Bank to take some money , after which they repaired lo several public-houses , " and « - t very drunk , and the wife put thc notes and some nionev into her bosom ; and returning home at a la te hour through Exinouth-street , Clerkenwell , they were hustled and thrown down , and on their < 'cttiii " home , found they had been robbed . On tho next day the prisoner was found changing the notes at a variety of places , stating that he had a WacvOeft him .

      Frauds ox Pawnbrokers . —IlenrvXorris , a ^ ed 17 , a whipmaker , George Alfred No rris , 20 , watchmaker , and Joseph Miller , 30 , a gold and silver po lisher , were indicted for conspiring to defraud divers of her Majesty ' s subjects by false and fraudulent representations . Thc prisoners who were decently attired men , pleaded " 2 fot guilty . " The case , which lasted the whole day , excited the greatest interest amongst the pawnbroking trade—a great number of whom Tvere present . —Mr . Clarkson , Mr . Parry , and Mr . O'Brien , prosecuted ; and Mr . Prendergast and Mr . Wilde defended . —Mr . Clarkson , in stating the case to the jury , said be appeared for no less than five pawnbrokers and one refiner who had been sufferers on the present occasion , and who

      were instrumental in getting up the present indictment . —William George Attenborough , of 20 L Pieetstreet , pawnbroker , stated that on tho 2 nd August , at about half-past seven in the evening , the prisoner Ilenry Xorris , came into his shop and produced f our salt cellars , which he gave to his shopman , who , after examining them , placed them in the plate scale , and having weighed them was about io advance £ 3 os . on them . Witness having some suspicion took the salt cellars in hand , and said what have you here , and Norns said four silver salt cellars and he wanted £ 3 5 s . on them . Witness asked him to whom they belonged , and he said to a lady named Xorris , living at Ko . H , Portland-street , Oxford-street ; that the lady was an acquaintance of

      his , and his name was Henry Stone , and he was a whip-maker , residing at Jfottinjr-hill . Witness asked him what he thought the things were worth , and he said that tho lady had bought them and given £ S for them . Witness then asked him where tlie lady lived , and he having again stated , told him that he should goto her , when be became somewhat confused , and said , " Here , lend me £ 4 on these , " pulling out a gold watch and chain ; but finding that witness would not let him have back the tilings said he would goout and fetch his elder brother , which witness objected to , and sending for a policeman , gave him into custody . The witness had since tested the articles , and found them to be copper , electro-plated with white albata , or some such spurious metal ;

      had they been silver , that pattern would have made them worth about 6 s . an ounce ; as they were they would not be -worth a pawnbroker lending more than 8 s . or 9 s . on them all ; they were in every way manufactured in a manner calculated to impose upon a person accustomed to see plate , the bottom being indented with a mark somewhat resembling the Hall mark of ancient date , somewhat oblitc " - rated ; and they bore all the appearance of an ancient article of plate , the four weighing about eleven ounces . The articles in question were handed in to the jury for inspection . They were massive antique circulars , and formed a salt cellar standing up on three short legs or feet richly chased and embossed , not verv strongly electroplated , and gilt

      on the inside , and in every way formed so as to deceive at a cursory glance . —In answer to the court , Mr . Attenborough said that thc prisoner came in just between the lights , and before the shop was fully lighted . —3 farborough , a police-constable , 3 GJ ) , City police , proved the apprehension of the prisoner in Mr . Attenborough ' s shop , and stated that , upon searching thc prisoner he found a duplicate on him for four similar saltcellars he had pledged a short time before at thc shop of Messrs . Tomh ' nsoii and Bobie , in the Strand . —It was then proved that only one person of the name ofNorrishad lived in Portland-place , and he had never seen anything of the prisoner until he was in custody , and knew nothing of him . —Mr . Tomlinson proved the taking

      in of the goods in question , which lie had advanced 5 s . Cd . an ounce on , they weighing eleven ounces . Thc prisoner came to him just as they were shutting up outside , and before the gas was all lighted . He had pledged a brooch for los . some few days before , and which he then redeemed ; it was the imitation of the Hall mark that took witness off his guard , as he believed it to be true , and they never tested plate . —Daniel May , 357 City police , stated that he was on duty in plain clothes at Guildhall , when the prisoner ) Henry Morris , was underexamination , and seems ; his brother waiting outside , he went up and asked him if it was true ' that he had sent his brother to pawn thc things , and he said it was , upon which he took him into custody . He then made inquiries

      into thc connexions of the prisoners , and on the loth of August , traced out the prisoner Miller , who lived at Xo . 19 , Titchfield-street . It was at a shop , one half of which was opened for the sale of cigars , and the other for articles of jewellery and plated goods , and Miller ' s name was on the door , as an electroplater . Upon Miller being denied , he forced his way up stairs , and there he found him at work in a room on the first floor ; all the implements for carrying on the process of clcctrotyping plate upon a wholesale scale were in the room . Witness asked him if he had ever scut the apprentice Jacobson to pawn any , and he said he had , and that he bad broug ht him home all the money , but added that he had only sent three sets to pawn , whilst a brother of Jacobson's had done all the business . He did not

      deny his knowledge of the "Sorrises , or that the stamps were of his make . —Thomas Yardley , a pawnbroker in Tottenham-court-road , said that besides the saltcellars he had taken in from Jacobson , he had been duped by a set- from George Morris , upon which he bad advanced £ 2 Id ' s . and in value they were not worth ten shillings . — Several other pawnbrokers were then examined , and their evidence went to establish the fact of their having been duped in a similar manner ; and it also appeared that when Jacobson was taken into custody it was because they thought he had stolen thc goods he had offered in ' pledge , and Miller ' s coming forward and establishing his right to them and taking them away prevented any further inquiry , or else tlie fraud would have then been discovered ,

      which was as far back as April last . Another transaction was then proved , in which Alfred Horn ' s went to tho shop of Mr . Jerrit , the refiner , of Barbican , and after selling some old gold and silver , pushed three of the saltcellars on to the counter , and said , you will not give mc what I want for these , and " asked 6 s . an ounce on them , and Mr . Jcrrit ' s shopman thinking them to be plate about thirty years old , and the hall mark deceiving him , at once bought them at that price . Some further evidence having been given , the jury , without any consultation , acquitted Miller , and found the two other prisoners " Guilty . "— Thc foreman of the jury said they thought Miller had been guilty of fraud , but had nofc acted sufficiently in concert with thc others for them to convict him of conspiracy . — Judgment was then respited on the other two prisoners .

      Bobbery at the Easterx Cocxhes Railway . — Thomas Povev , 30 , labourer , was indicted for stealtno- a quantitv of silk taharet , valued at £ 13 , thc property of the Eastern Counties Railway , and Samuel Jones , 49 , Joheph Lucas , 43 , and James Thompson , 39 , the three last prisoners surrenderin" to take their trial , were indicted for feloniously receiving the property in question , knowing it to have been stolen . —Mr . Ballantine and Mr . Cockerell conducted the prosecution ; Mr . M'Mahoa appeared for Povey , and Messrs . Prendcrgast , Payne , and Metcalfe defended the other prisoners . —It appeared in evidence that on the 2 nd of June a parcel of goods , among which was the piece of taharet in question , "was despatched by the Eastern Counties

      Railway from Bramtree , addressed to Messrs warlter and Co ., Wilson-street , Finsbury . Thc train arrived in due course at the Shorcditcb station , on Sunday morning , the 3 rd of June , and it was moved off the mainline , and remained thereuntil the following mominsr , when , upon the train being unloaded , it was discovered that Messrs . Warlter ' s parcel had been opened , and the piece of taharet stolen therefrom . The prisoner Povey was employed upon the railway , and therefore had an opportunity of taking the property , but there was no distinct evidence when or bow it was removed . In consequence of inquiries , however , that were made bv Inspector Shackell , who is now engaged in the service of the company , the whole of the prisoners

      were apprehended , and by his exertions tbe circumstances connected with the robbery were discovered . —Senreant Teakle deposed that on the 29 th of June he went along with Mr . Shackell to the shop of Messrs . Hampton and Russell , in Leicester-square , and inquired of the shopman what was the price of the piece of tabaret which he saw in the window . The shopman replied that it was 3 s . 9 d . per , yard , and he added that it was " very cheap " at that price , lie saw a gentleman in the shop and informed him that the tabaret had been stolen , tnd he then inquired how they became possessed of it and he was informed that they had purchased it of a person named Jones . Upon receiving this information he took the prisoner Jones into custody , and inquired of him if he had sold any tabaret lately in Leicester-square , and be replied that he had , but said he had forgotten the price he received for it .

      Tnr. Bombay Steamer Case — M>. Ballantin...

      then told him that the article had been stolen , and asked him where he got it from , and he referred him to Lucas , whom he accordingly took into custody , and upon bis questioning hliii regarding the stolen property he said he had " got it from Thompson , the fourth prisoner , and on his being taken into custod y , he said that Povey had brought the article to his house to sell , and that , knowing nothing of the value of such tilings , he had applied to Lucas and Jones . Povey was then taken into custody , and on his being informed that he was charged with stealing the tabaret , he admitted that he had taken it to Thompson to sell , but said that it liad been given to him by a man named Bolton , who was also employed upon the railway . —Shackell

      confirmed the evidence given by Teakle , and also produced a bill of parcels given by Messrs . Hampton and Co . to Jones , by which it appeared that they had g iven ls . 3 d . a yard for the article which was valued by thc manufacturer at 5 s . per yard . — George Bolton , the person referred to in the evidence of Teakle , deposed that there was no truth in the statement made by Povey , that he had given him the tabaret . —Mr , W . Hampton was next called , lie deposed that he carried on the business of an upholsterer in Leicester-square , and that he purchased the article produced of thc prisoner Jones . The number of yards appeared b y the bill of parcels lo be 38 J , but the actual quantity was 40 yards . — Thc Recorder asked why thc exact quantity was

      not stated . —Mr . Hampton replied that a portion of the taharet was stained , and that was not included . —The Recorder inquired what price he gave for it . —Mr . Hampton said ls . 3 d . per yard . —The Becorder : Then was it " very cheap" at 3 s . 9 d . ?—The witness said he was not in the way when that price was asked . He should have sold it much cheaper . —The Recorder : What was vour price ?—Witness : Wc did not agree to self it . —The Rdcorder : Then what did you put it in the windowfor ? —Witness : Wc put all our goods in the window . — Mr . Ballantine : And I suppose the shopmen have instructions to say that everything is cheap . ( A laugh . )—The Recorder : At the rate this article was lt . M , r * ll £ U . in n ... « l . £ An l . n ilin .. 1 . a .. . .. _ £ \ . — ? — £ tu ciieiiuusv

      uvuuv , una uugui * uc mo llOUStf in London . —Mr . Hampton said he would not give a farthing more than he did for such an article . —The Recorder : What did you give ?—Mr . Hampton : I gave £ 2 8 s . —Mr . Ballantine : Not quite £ 2 Ss . Did you not take off 2 s . for discount ?—Witness : Wc always take discount for cash . —Mr . Ballantine : The manufacturer values the property at £ 13 . Pray , do you often buy things in this way Mi * . Hampton ?— Witness : Not very often . I bought this of Jones because I had known him for two years , and was aware that he was in the habit of having "job lots . "—By Mr . Payne : Jones asked me 2 s . 9 d . or 3 s . a yard for the tabaret in the first instance , and I told him to take it away , and he did

      so . Wo afterwards had some further dealing for it , and he agreed to take what I offered . —The Recorder here gave directions that on the allowance of expenses to the witnesses , Mr . Hampton should not be included . —Mr . Ballantine remarked that his conduct had been most improper , and was well deserving the censure cast upon it by thc court . — The Recorder said that , in this instance , there appeared to be very little distinction between the case of Jones and that of the witness Hampton . —Mr . Hampton declared ho had given thc full value of the article —The Recorder said he had no business to have bought it at all , under the circumstances . — This being the case for the prosecution , Mr . Metcalf submitted that there was nothing to go to

      the jury against Lucas , for whom he appeared . — The llccorder said that the case was certainly in a legal point of view very slight against the prisoner , . indlic . it the same time observed that although a great deal of pa * ns had evidently been taken to got up the prosecution , ho was rather surprised that all the intermediate parties should have been placed at the bar , and that the person who eventually purchased the property should be made a witness . — Mr . Ballantine had no hesitation in saying that if he had been consulted originally he should have advised a different course , and he should certainly have directed the indicting of the person in Leicestersquare , and should have asked a jury to say whether thc purchasing of property at smeh a totaliv

      inadequate price was not evidence of a guilty knowledge on thc part of the purchaser that tho ' article had been stolen . —Mr . Prcndergast , Mr . M'Mahon , and Mr . Payne , then addressedlhe jury for their several clients . ' —The Recorder then summed up , and the jury , after deliberating a short time in the box , expressed a wish to retire . They were absent nearly an hour , aud on their return into court the . y gave a verdict of " Guilty" against Povey , aud acquitted all thc other prisoners . The jury at ( lie same time expressed their opinion that there had been a great want of prudence on thc part of the witness Hampton in purchasing the property . —The Recorder said ho quite agreed in the opinion expressed by the jury , and it really was a fearful thing for the

      public that persons keeping shops and in n respectable position should give such facilities for tiie disposal of stolen property . —Mr . Hampton-begged to be allowed again to * % tate that tho article was damaged , and lie considered he had g iven thc full value for it when he paid fifteenpeiice a yard , — Thc Recorder ( with warmth ) : Then why did you ask 3 s . 9 d . for the same article , ami represent it as very cheap ? The more you stir in the matter , in thc more unfavourable light your conduct appears . You will not have your expenses , and I recommend you to consider it good advice not to be connected with such a transaction again , and be more prudent in future . —The prisoner Povey was then sentenced to be transported for seven years .

      Tim Sathust Newspaper . —Martin Hansen , who was convicted on Monday of misdemeanour , in having attempted to extort money by undertaking not to publish libellous matter concerning a gentleman named Bevan , in the Satirist newspaper , was brought up f or judgment . It was intimated to the court , prior to sentence being pronounced , that the prisoner was in a dangerous state from consumption , and that a long confinement would in all probability prove fatal . The Recorder , in passing sentence , said , that tlie defendant had been convicted of the offence of endeavouring to extort money , for refraining to publish scandalous matter in the newspaper of wliich he was the proprietor , and upon a careful consideration of all the fads , he felt bound

      to say , that he entirely agreed in tho verdict that had been pronounced by thc jury , He found upon inquiry , that the woman . Mill ' s , who was included in thc ' iiidictmcnt with him , and who had no doubt been the instrument of putting him forward , had hr-rii sentenced to six months' imprisonment ; ami taking into consideration his superior position in life , and his superiority in point of education over that person , lie did not sec how it was possible to pass upon him a more lenient sentence- than the one she had received . He then ordered the defendant to be imprisoned for six months-, and at the same time observed , fliat be had no doubt he would receive every medical attention which his condition required , and that the Secretary of State would also interfere if the state of his health , resulting from confinement , should render such a step

      necessary . Robbery . —Thomas Langston , 33 , a smith , John Low , IS , and Charles Low , 22 , also smiths , were indicted for stealing a teapot , a spade , J 20 keys , a quantity of iron , and articles of ironmongery , the property of Arthur Williams , their master . —Mr . Clarkson prosecuted , and Mr . Ribton and Mr . Cockle severally appeared for the prisoners . — Although thc prisoners were separately tried upon different indictments , the whole of the case arose out of one transaction , which was this . Thc prosecutor , an ironmonger , carrying on busincss-at

      Hammersmith , in the early part of the present year to ok the business , which isa very extensive one , of aMr . Wright , a great number of whose previous servants he continued in his employment , hut in the middle of July , finding that he was being robbed , he gave information to the police , when , upon searching the various places of residence in tho occupation of the prisoners , a quantity of his property was found , the possession of which they could not give any satisfactory account of . The jury found them " Guilty , " and having been strongly recommended to n : crcy , they were sentenced , Langston to four months ' , and the two Lows to three months' imprisonment and

      hard labour . Fraud . —Henry and George Alfred Iforris , the two brothers Avho were ou Monday found guilty of defrauding a number of pawnbrokers , were brought up and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment .

      A vew days ago , a mother and daughter , named Frutzkener , " were executed at Mariciiwcder , in Prussia , for the murder of their husband and father . In February , 184 S , at daybreak , four gendarmes on their way from Berlin saw the two women kneeling as if in prayer at Calvary , near the village of Tullich , with a largo box between them , covered with a blanket . Thc officers , conceiving some suspicious , went to the women , and asked" what they were about . They seemed too terrified to reply , and accordingly the officers opened tho box , nod to their surprise found in it the corpse of a man dreadfully mutilated . The two women were arrested , find after an investigation had been commenced , thi'y admitted

      that the deceased was the husband of ow , and father of the other of them ; and that they had murdered him , the mother , to bo enabled to marry a farm labourer , with whom she was in love , thc daughter to escape from what she called a hateful tyranny . This murder , they said , they effected when the man was drunk , by pouring boiling water into tho ears and on tho f ace and by afterwards cutting and slashing the body . Tho sentence on them was , that they should be crushed on the wheel , beginning at the feet ; but the King commuted this into simple decapitation . —Galignani . Destruction . —A shot is stated , by the Glasgow Chronicle , to havo been invented in that city by a workman , which is filled with a peculiar powder , and becomes red hot for military purposes within twenty seconds of "being fired from the gun 1

      On Tuesday , at an inquest held before Mr . Bedford , in the Millharik Prison , upon the body of a convict who had died of fever . The foreman of thc jury inquired if there were any symptoms of the ' mitigation of Asiatic clolera in the prison ? Mr . Forstcr , clerk to the prison , said he was fearful there was not . A convict was then dying , and one had been recently attacked with the disease ; while they had now in gaol only 30 , 7 males , and 130 females . At a recent inquest before Mr . Payne , it was stated that in his district there had not been a single inquest in a prison on a person who had died of Asiatic cholera , and his district comprised the followhif establishments : — Newgate , Giltspnrstreet Compter , the Bridewell , Bridge-street , Blackfriars ( in the neighbourhood of which so many

      deaths had taken place ) , Whitccross-strect Debtors ' Prison , and thc Queen ' s Bench Prison . M vxcmksteii . —Since Friday last there have been ten cases of cholera in thc township of Manchester , five of which have proved fatal . In Salforsl there have been three fatal cases of cholera and two of diarrhoea during thc same period ; and in the outtownship of Chorion there have been five fatal cases . Upon the whole , tlicdiscase does not appear to have abated , nor yet has it increased to any great extent . Bristol , Tuesday . —Tlie disease still , fortunately , presents more favourable returns , the now cases and deaths being fewer than they were . The return for Bedminster is equally favourable . Thc health of the entire parish is also stated to be decidedly improved , and very satisfactory .

      Casks of Cholera ^ t the Cextrai , Criminal Court . —Two cases of this prevailing epidemic , one of which has alread y terminated in the decease of the party attacked , have occurred to persons while attending the court on business . The first was that of a respectable tradesman , who had attended the court for the purpose of sneaking to the character of the prisoner charged with stealing , and receiving a quantity of bomifct shapes from a manufacturer at Hoxton , the report of which has Already appeared . I ( seems , that as he was standing at the top of the stabs leading to the New . Third . Court , waiting to be called upon he complained of feeling pains in the stomach , and cramp , and very rapidly getting . worse , aid was pr ocured , and it being ascertained that he was suffering from Asiatic cholera in its wora ^ form , he was immediately placed in a cab and removed , to tbe hospital , where he expired in a few hours . The second case cccurred yesterday morning : to one of thc door

      keepers of the New Court , who , whilst " attending to his duties dunng . tho sittings of the judge , was seized with all tbe premonitory symptoms in the most aggravated form . Immediately upon being taken , he was removed below to thc grand jurv room , and medical asaistance called , and everything thnt skill could suggest was resorted to , but with little beneficial result , and from tbe . violenco of the . attack , and from the fact cf bis being a somewhat elderly man , but very faint , hopes was enter lamed of his recovery . During . the whole of the session more than ordinary precautions have been taken to keep a current of pure air continuall y passing through the courts , which , coupled , with other sanitary operations , had the . desired effect of destroying all the nauseous miasma , which of neceSsity would arise where so many human , beings-a greater portion of whom are of the lowest class-were so crowded together , and it is in all probability owing to the excellent arrangements that more cases have not arisen ,

About eight o ' clock he returned home to breakfast , when he was seized with violent pains in his stomach . Medical aid was instantly resorted to , and every attention paid to his sufferings , but ho died of cholera in the afternoon .

      Foreigners is the American Xavv . —While many persons are asserting ( and not without reason ) that Aiiicriean sailors are more than an equal match for an equal number of Hritish , others are significantly inquiring how large a proportion of really American bornV- ' . 'imen can be found cither in our mercantile or military marine . Tlie disproportion against us is very great , and it may be alarming . It is asserted that two-thirds of the navy is composed of foreigners , and the merchant service , if New York is taken as the standard , shows the proportion of foreigners to bo seven-tenths of tho wholu , made \ in \> f all nations and tribes of the

      world ,, from British tars to African Krqoincii and Sandwich Islanders . Many of the petty bflicera on board our ships »> f war are also foreigners . The A ' c . iu Yorl : J & pre / s recites : the fact , that Mr . Reed , formerly chairman of the naval committee , made a report to Congress , in which hn stated that , after taking great jiains to get at tho truth , he found that "out of 150 , 000 seamen failing out of the United States at that time , only J ) , 0 l ) 0 were Americans , or a proportion of one in twelve . And out of 33 , ou' 4 shipped out of the port of Ticir Yvrk in lgdO , not 5 , 000 wore Aim ricaiis . ' -The Ohio , " ship of the line , adds the Express , "the first time she went out on a three years' cruise , had but 182 American

      senmonfMit ot a crewot l . Ot ' O men ; and the Delaware went to sea with a less proportion . The Constitution was detained a long time at this port for want of fifty able seamen ; and we know that tho Fairfield , Vincciines , and Constitution went to sea from here with less than one-third American seamen in them . A more recent instance is the case of the Columbus that went to sea with only 200 American-horn , olliccrs and all . " Upon view of these facts , we have little satisfaction in the avowed belief of the ( -erioiial superiority of American seamen . Perhaps , if we could induce some of the large hordes of rovers who migrate to Oregon or to Texas , to serve their country in the navy , wc might he in quite as safe a position as now , when they arc ouly creating a demand for a defence of these

      regions , and leaving us only the refuse of Europe to defend them with . —Portland ( U . S . ) Advertiser . Cai'tais IlExniciisox . —It is generall y known that Captain llenriclisoii , the husband of the late Mrs . Ileni-ichson , is in the employ of Messrs . James Aiken and Sou ; and at the time of the committal of tbe atrocious act which rendered him a widower , childless , and homeless , ho was on a voyage , as master of the Duncan , to the Bast Indies . Many idle rumours are ailoat respecting him , and as to tho probable time of his arrival here . Upon inquiry in a quarter from which the information may be relied on , we learn that Captain llenriclisoii sailed from Calcutta on thc f 8 th of April last , aud that his arrival hero is not expected until the end of the present month . Arrangements have been made ,

      upon thc Duncan entering the river , to communicate to Captain ilenricltsim that he must be prepared to expect , upon Ids arrival , to hear domestic news of a painfully distressing nature , not , however , stating any of the circumstances relative to the late tragedy . With this object the ltcv . Wm . Pollock , of whoso congregation " , wc believe , Capt . Ucnrichson and his Into lady wore members , wrote a letter , in which religious ' consolation suitable to the occasion was contained . Of this letter twelve copies were made , wliich were given to as many pilots , to be handed , by whoever shall board the Duncan , to Cant , llcnrichson . From the captain of a vessel

      which arrived at this port tho other day , and who , on his way , put in at St . Helena , we loam that the Liverpool papers had conveyed tho whole of tho particulars of tho murder to that island , and that the . atrocities of it were the topic of general conversation . At the time this captain left there nothing had been hoard of the Duncan ; but she will in rfli likelihood call there , and there doubtlessly will Capt . llcnrichson learn tho sad tidings which so deeply affect himself . —Liverpool Jourmd .

It appears that Mrs , . Maiinin < r visited the shop of a respectable bookseller in tho neighbourhood of her lod gings in lladdington-place , on Saturday f orenoon , and procured on biro a copy of the Times newspaper of the preceding d . iv , which , however , contained nothing about the atrocious case . She repeated her visit on thc iiiorniiiir of tho following Monday , and , iu conversation with the shopman , stated that she had come from Newcastle , and had been resident atPortobcllo , for the purpose of the sea-bathing , which sho enjoyed very much . She then procured a copy of the i ' uunint , published that morning , which she carried awav with her .

      vrom its columns she llrst learned that thc body of the murdered man had been discovered , aud that the avengers of blood were on her track . She immediately hurried to Messrs . llughsun and TJobson , in tho hope of being able to obliterate the traces of her whereabouts , with which sho had furnished these gentlemen on Saturday . She trot back tho railway scrip , which sho hud icft / or side , but f ailed to obtain the copy of the Address which she had also left . On Tuesday morning she again called nt the bookseller ' s shop and hired a copy of the Times newspaper onionday which detailed , with considerable minuteness , the circumstances that had transpired in connexion with the murder . This was the copy which she was found reading when Mr . Moxey introduced himself into her presence early the same day . It may be remarked , as a characteristic feahire , that she grudged the payment of thc terms upon which she procured tho " loan of tho papers which published to tho world the details of the horrid deed .

He also for some years kept the iJeat * public-house , Taunton , and lie ' was much respected ill every relation of life , and particularly so , it is believed , by tho Colonel of tho retriinent , Lord Poulett , who immediately after the father ' s death , and whilst he still remained a guard ou the railway , laced

      p Manning on the staff of the reuiment , wliich entitle ! him to 10 s . Cd . a week . Ohf Manning died about four or five years ago , leaving his widow and Frederick George Manning , Ids favourite snrvivin " son ( his eldest son Charles , having died shortly before him ) , his representatives , lie left a larger portion of his property to the sulijeet of this . sketch than to any of his other childrcn ' in possession , and an expected share on the death of the mother , who died during the short time that Maiming occupied the White Hart , Taunton . Altogether he did not , it is supposed , take loss than MtW under his father ' s will , and up to that time and that of his marriage , two years ago , it is believed that he saved nwnev on his own account ..

      Manning worked for several year ? , indeed to tho time of bis appointment on the railway , for a fcw ot the principal contractors of works , who . were so well satisfied with his conduct that ( hey continued to tho period of his leaving thc works to interest themselves in his welfare . He assisted his father in his various avocations , with perfect satisfaction to tho old man ; and it also understood that ho performed the duties of his public situation without complaint or suspicion until after his fatal marriage , fiis first suspension was brought about bv his wife , who informed the authorities of the Groat Western Railway Company at l ' uddmgton that ho had absented himself from her for a , whole night . The quarrel which was the cause of it arose through the unfortunate murdered man , O'Connor . Maniiiti" - continued in

      thc service of the Railway Company for several months afterwards ; but , it ' is supposed he was not upon such comfortable terms as heretofore , and when he left it is believed that it . was at his own request . Uc had been for a lonir time tliiiiliiii" of taking nn inn . Tho \ cry mspociabit- landlady of the "White linrt was retiring from business at Ladyday last year she had done very well in it , and it was cue of the best , if not the very best , commercial hotels in the town . There were maiiv candidates for its occupation , and it is well known that Manning was selected as the tenant by the estate agent , at Taunton , who negotiated the letting of the house , chiefly in consequence of his presumed good character , arising from the circumstance of lus himng so long performed the duties of a responsible situation on the railway .

      K is stated in tho public jov . nw . ls that Manning misrepresented the state of his circumstances to his wife before marriage . Ho might have exnsrseratod them ; ai > d if so they mutually deceived each other ; for Manning said only a few " months after his marriage that the only source of unpleasantness between his wife and himself arose from the circumstance of her concealing from him where she had placed £ 700 which she represented to him she had , which sum it is believed had no existence , otherwise ft is supposed that it would have been forthcoming when tho White Hart was taken . He soon , however , had . other and more substantial causes of complaint ; against her . Mutual jealousies roicned : great ; quarrels , and even fi ghts , sometimes ensued ; and I

      very often the house was m a complete uproar * through tho misconduct of the landlord and land- - lady . The town customers therefore kept away , , and travellers and others were often driven else- - where . In Mrs . Manning ' s paroxysms of jealousy , , she has been known frequently to lock up " her bus- - band ' s hats and shoes , and when his aged mother r was confined to her bed a few hundred yards off , by y her last illness , she several times insisted upon bis s not visiting her , which unnatural conduct she per- :-sisted in to the final moment of the old lad y ' s cxist-tence . Things could not go on much worse between n Manning ami his wife , when on the 3 rd of August 5 t hist year , a few days after , a brother of his , within whom he hud not been upon good terms , had come : ie to visit him , sho left Taunton by the mail train afcafc tiighfe , taking with her , as tho husband next dayas-issorted , money , plate , and other valuables , to the

      ox-s-tout of between £ 3 A 0 and £ 400 . She left at tenem o ' clock at night , with his permission , to proceed onom a visit to her friends on the Continent ; and on hisiisi return at twelve , he pretended to be tliimderstrnckck : at the dismantled state of his bedroom , from lvhichch : be said she bad clandestinely taken several large-goi trunks , a cash-box , & e . The made in which Man-m--ning now attempted natters with his creditors , whohoi became importunate on hearing of his Joss , was thehes subject of lunch noise at that jirno . ( suffice it to toi swy the whole transaction was excessively suspi-fpicious . Never was there , pevh-vps , an instance whiehiek more completely justified the proposition that * cc man may bo guilty of vohbii * - * himself than this - , at , a » the property , a for all , by judicious management ot on the part of the trustees to whom Manning was ins inn duced to assign , his estate and effects in trust fo foi themselves aiid the othe * - creditors , in thc usu . isu . tray , after extreme reluctance , realised twenty shtshtt lings in tho pound .

      A word as to Manning ' s lamentable introducUo-Uos to lu ' s wife . It is believed to have taken place undendee thc following circumstances : —She-bad been of tl ; til ; household of a well-known Devonshire baronet b 6 bin fore she -sent into that of the Duchess of Suthethe : ; : land . Having obtained permission to absent he he ; self for a while from the latto : * establishment , si , sll went iuio Devonshire , and on her return sho we wj : j placeiiby a gentbman under ihe care of Mann inn in i This very gentlsman Manning himself said afteaftee wards spoke to . him very lightly of his wife ' s ch chli racier , bcforo > however , he was aware of the thec marriage . Ta-ose and other circumstances to ho bv pi-ejudice , boih before and after marriage , whi « vhi < i < had come to . his knowledge , caused the awful quaquaa rels which too often occurred at the White Hart , t ,

      His great inducement for marrying Maria do Ro > Row was it is well known to those who were acquaintiiintt with hiia , to obtain a situation in a government dnt ( Id partniP . it . That of a landing waiter was what tat was xeost bout upon ; and a hig hly influential Sal laa oftiUe wrote , it is believed , move that onco t < o t < t < minister of state on his behalf , recommending big hh to such a situation . Manning on tho first occasbcasisi was referred to the statesman ' s secretary , whoafioafif very little conversation with him , flushe ' d as he . vhc , y \ with hope , and , it is said , something else , told bid 11 that there must be some mistake ; for those Bib Bitit tions were onl ; " Titendcd for gentlemen ' s sons , brs , oi-r other "words , for persons of education .
