      Poisos Case Ax Pomeixox, Gowm.—Inourlast...

      Poisos Case ax Pomeixox , Gowm . —Inourlast impression we gave a few particulars of the inquest held on the body of George Gibbs , who lately died under very suspicious circumstances , but on account of the importance which the case now assumes and the serious character of the offence which has unquestionably been committed by some individual although as vet not criminated , we give more fully ' the evidence adduced at the adjourned inquest held on Monday last , after the analysis of the contents of the stomach andmtfistines by Mr . Hcrapath , analytical chemist , EristoL Elizabeth Gibbs , daughter of the deceased was first examined , and appeared considerably anected m giving her evidence . The principal facts clicitsdfeom her referred to the bad terms oh

      which her h » t « father and brother had for some time lived . She stated that they very frequently qualified , aliboaga they had not , done so dm-ing the to days preceding his death ; that this feeling was carried to such an extent that they never took their meals together , her father , sister , and herself at one table , aud her brother at another , and at different hours . On tlie morning of ihe day on which her father was taken ill they breakfasted in this way , her brother being in bed at the time . Her father ate for breakfast part of a lobster and three oysters , which had been in the house since the previous evening She was quite sure there was no poison , such as corrosive sublimate , ia the house ( which is sometimes used oy farmers as a wash for sheep ) and was al *

      o sure taat neither her father , aer sister , nor herself bad been to the druggist ' s for some tune nreviouslv George Perry , E ., smgeoo , of Iteynoldstone , re-exanimcd , said : —On Moudav last , the 2 Clh of May I made a , josi nortmi examination of the body of George Gibbs , assisted by Mr . Wigglesworth . 1 found symutoms of severe inflammation of the stomach and bowels , aud a perforation Of the coat of the small intestines , at a short distance from the stomach . ( . Mr . Perry here very minutely detailed the appearances observed , which are given below . ) \\' c removed the stomach , the greater part of the intestines , and the fluid contained in the abdominal cavity , for the purpose of analysation ; placed them with their contents in

      separate Madders , the mouths of which we tied and sealed . I-am persuaded that the inflammation described was the cause of death , and believed that sush inflammation had its origin in some poison administered to the deceased , and that it was not excited by the usual causes of inflammation . Henry Wigglesworth , Esq ., surgeon , of London , but at present residing in Swansea , was next sworn . He said on Monday last , the 26 th of jtfay , I made apost mortem , examination of the body of George Gibbs , assisted by Mr . Perry . We examined the abdomen only . 1 have beard this day the appearances which wera ' mct with described by Mr . Perry , and I agree with them in every particular . They were ( briefly sneaking ) those of the most

      violent inflammation of the stomach and bowels , with disorganisation of some parts of their texture . I am quite convinced that these appearances have had their origin in some very severe and unusual cause , and believe that thatcause was the action of some irritant poison . I say so because there is no other way of satisfactorily accounting for the destructive inflammation-which existed . By direction of the coroner I placed the bladders ( three in number ) which eontamed the intestines and stomach of the deceased in a tin ease , the lid of which was soldered down in my presence , and this again enclosed in a deal box . Thus Secured , they were transmitted to Mr . Hcrapath , practical chemist , of Bristol , for analysis . I have since had several communicatioris with Mr .

      Herapath , and received a letter from him on June 1 , dated Bristol , May SI , which I now produce . This letter contains Mr . Herapath ' s opinion upon the case . Although the contents of this letter could not be received in evidence in consequence of the absence of Mr . Hcrapath , we are enabled to give the substance cf its contents . The writer stated that he had minutely and repeatedly examined the intestines and their contents forwarded to him , that he had found mercury incorporated with the texture of the stomach and in other parts , and believed that that mercury , when administered , was in the form of corrosive sublimate ( bichloride of mercury ) . This being the whole of the evidence , the coroner briefly addressed the jury , who , after consulting

      for a few minutes , returned the following verdict : — " That the deceased , George Gibbs , died of a grievous disease , to wit , an inflammation of Hie stomach aud intestines ; but how , or by what cause produced , there is at present no evidence to show . " The following particulars respecting this very suspicions case , though not given in evidence , may be relied upon . It appears that the cause of the unhappy fend which existed between the father and son depended upon some pecuniary matters . Sometime ago the father made over his properly to liis children , upon their coming of age , they allowing him a certain annuity . The son has lately been anxious to sell off part of the stock of the farm , which the father resisted , contending that his annuity could not then be paid . 3 fot unfrequently tha son had threatened violence to Iris father , and not many days before his

      death the latter told a neighbour that his son had frequently threatened to kill him , and that upon one occasion he was obliged to hide himself under the bed to escape his violence . ( It would have been well if this fact could have been elicited at the coroner's inquest ; but a man ' s own words , when in health , cannot be taken as evidence touching the cause of bis death . ) The son is well known to be a violent , overbearing character , and has repeatedly been taken hefore the neighbouring magistrates . We trust the police will sift this affair to the bottom , and not allow a single trace of evidence to escape their notice , or pass by uninquired into . It would also be well if ihe chemists and druggists residing at Swansea and the neighbouring towns were to make inquiries of their assistants and apprentices , and endeavour to ascertain whether such a drug as appears from the evidencetohavc been admiustered has been recently

      sold . —Cambrian . A Steamer . Fouxdebed is the River . —On Sunday morning , the Waterman steamer No . 3 , which had just taken several passengers at the Westminsterbridge floating pier , was rounding from the landingplace , and had just arrived opposite the Dnkc of Buccleuch ' s mansion , about 200 yards distant , when she struck violently npon a sunken barge laden with fifty tons of snivel , belonging to Mr . Mallett , a lighterman , in Lambeth , which had sunk during the ni « ht , and there being no buoy to mark the spot , the barge was concealed from view . The iron plates on the larboard side of the Waterman were driven in by ihe violence of the shock , and the water rushed into

      the fore cabin and soon filled it ; but the vessel being divided into compartments by water-tight bulkheads , it could not penetrate farther , and the vessel ker . t afloat ; , and after some difficulty brought up to the Waterman ' s Adelphi Pier , at the termination of George-street , Adelphi , "where the passengers were landed , and they proceeded on their voyage by the next vessel , Waterman ^ o . 1 . The Waterman * o . 3 was brought up below the Adelphi I ' ier , and the leak having been stopped when the tide receded , she was afterwards towed down to Woolwich for repairs . The accident was entirely owing to the neglect ot the people belonging to the barge who ought to have p laced a buoy over it to denote the obstruction after it went down .

      Frichtfex Attempt at Suicn > E . -A letter from Maryborough , dated June 8 , gives the folIowiV melancholy account of an attempt at suicide br Major Hamdton of the 13 th Light Dragoons .

The Maior stopped at Irallon ' s Hotel , and not having called for any attendance during the afternoon , suspicion was excited , the more so as his bed-room had been made last ou the inside . About one o ' clock the mistress ot rue hotel heard a footfall in the room as if of a person stepping out of bed , but there was still no call . At two o ' clock Captain Thompson , one of the 13 th arrived in the Dublin coach on his way to join his

      troop at Boms-in-Ossory ; wishing to see the Major , and have some communication with him , he ran up to his apartment , knocked at the door two or three times , but received no answer . The mistress of the hotel told liim of her suspicions , and implored him to break inthc door ; he did so , aud there , to'his astonishment and horror , he beheld the Major welterhv in a pool of blood ; he was in that state of languid stupor winch generally ushers in the last moment of those who die by bleeding . It seems thai when he gat out of bed he did so for the purpose of possessing himself ot one of his razors , which was found Li the M clotted with his blood .

      The iate CiiiEcE of Murder axd AriEMPTEn Suicide by Poisox jx Hattos-Gaej > bk . —On Tuesday forenoon the adjourned investigation concerning the death of Hannah Moore , aged IS , said to have died from ihe effects of poison administered to her by Daniel John Cock , now an inmate of Newgate on a charge of wilful murder , was resumed before Mr . T . Wakley , M . P ., and the jury , at the Cock and Hoop , Cross-street , Hatton-Garden . It will be remembered that the man , John Cock , was committed ou the 30 th ult ., by Mr . Greenwood , the police magistrate , to Newgate , on the charge of wilful murder of the deceased , he having agreed with her to take a certain quantity of oxalic acid with a view to their mutual

      destruction . The inquest was adjourned to enable the coroner to procure a writ of habeas corpus for the production of the accused before the jury , but which application to the Court of Queen's Bench , on Monday , was refused by Lord Denman and the other judges . After a discussion of upwards of an hour ' s duration , the jury returned the following verdict : — " That the deceased , Hannah Moore , died of mortal injuries upon her intestines and certain portions of her stomach from the action of a certain poison , taken by the said Hannah Moore , with her own hands , during temporary insanity . " This result , it is needless to add , is directly ia the teeth of Mr . Greenwood ' s committal of the accused to Newgate on the charge of wilful murder .

      Meuxcboly AccnmxT . —Early ou Wednesday morning three lads , belonging to Greenock , set out in a light sailing gig , and were observed for some time going up the river from the Bay of Quick , where they had procured the boat . As the day advanced there was no appearance of their return , and fears began to be entertained that all had not gone well with them . The fact that the gig had been found ashore on the other side , split from stem to stern , and the recovery close by her of one of the bodies in the early part of Thursday , show too plainlv that the

      whole of the unhappy party had come to a premature end . Whether the boat swamped in consequence of thoroughness of the water , it being at the time too coarse for a vessel of the kind sailing with safety , or what the particular circumstances which led to " the mournful event , no one can tell . Two of the lads were clerks in banks in town ; Mr . Currie , of the Royal Bank ; the third , named Connor , was an apprenticed cooper . The body of the last-named was found a short way from the boat , but , up to the time of going to press , we had not heard of the recovery of the others . —Greenock Advertiser .

      Seubbe ix a Tobacco Maxcfactort bv the Excise . —A seizure of almost unequalled magnitude and extent has , within the last few days , been made by the officers of excise on the premises of one of the largest tobacco manufacturers at the east end of London , and threatens serious consequences to the parties concerned if the suspicions turn out to be well founded . From information received several of the surveying examiners general of excise proceeded to the premises , and having examined every place in an upper apartment they were so completely satisfied with the object of their search , that they seized upon the whole of the contents of the room , which included an immense quantity of tobacco , which they had reason to believe was greatly adulterated ; according ! v they took samples of the whole stock , and

      dispatched a messenger to the cliief office for officers to go immediately and take possession of the premises in the Queen ' s name . Two officers then took possession , who have been relieved in tum by others , and a strict charge of the premises is kept up both day and night . The samples seized are now undergoing the process of analysation at the excise laboratory and also at the Museum of Economic Geology , CraigVcourt , Charing-cross , by Professor R . Phillips , whose report will be made in the course of a few days . The affair has created the greatest interest throughout the trade , as the firm are hi a very large way of business , and had hitherto been considered as very fair tradesmen . Should a conviction be obtained by the excise , the case will stand searceh second in importance to that recently decided between the Crown and Messrs . Smith , the distillers .

      Fatal R « lwat Accident . —A most melancholy and fatal accident occurred on the line of the Birmingham and Bristol Railway , about two miles on the Bristol sMa of tlve Berkeley station , on Thursday last . The express train , which leaves Bristol for Birmingham at four o'clock , was coming up the line with great rapiditv , having obtained the maximum speed of about sixty miles an how , when Mr . Slaughter ( who was driving the engine at the tune ) saw ^ a woman standing on the bank , as if about to cress tne line ; he insiantlv reversed the engine , and let off the steam , and the engine-driver , who was standing near him , blew the alarm whistle , but in an instant the train was upon and over the poor woman . As soon as possible the train was brought back , when a most shuckuur scene presented itself—the mangledremains of the woman lying along the rail hi all directions for as much as fortv vards from tlie spot where she was

      struck . The fragments of the body were picked up in a basket and sack , and removed to a cottage near the spot . The poor woman proved to be an old person of the name of Elizabeth £ ott , a widow , aged 34 , living at Stincheonibe , and who had been to see some friends at Woodford , and at her return was crossing at a road ( not a public one ) at the time of the fatal occurrence . The wind was blowing a hurricane at the time , and the engineer observed that she had both her hands up to her bonnet . An inquest was held the next day before Mr . W . J . Ellis , and after a most patient and protracted inquiry a verdict was returned of Acci dental Death , vrith a deodand of one ahiSing on the engine . It is worthy of remark that the train had gone 40 i > or 500 yards after passing the spot of the accident before itcould be stopped , notwithstanding the engines had been reversed 200 yards before coming up to the place . —Clocester Journal .

      Fire ixthe Wateiiloo-koad . — Between seven and ei"ht o ' clock on Wednesday morning , a fire , whica was caused by a child playing with a burning brand , broke out in the apartments occupied by Mr . J . Williams 132 , Waterlco-road , on the second floor , whence it extended so rapidly that before it was extinguished the principal part of the contents were either destroyed bv fire or water , or injured by removal . In the course of averv short time the engines from the Waterlooroad station of the London hire Establishment , and of the West of England Office ( both of winch arc stationed near the spot ) , were at the fire and it is mo * t fortunate that such was the fact , as the flames havin-o btained firm hold , ma few minuteswouh . hive tmdoubtedlv done much more damage ; added towliSionlv two doors distant stands the Royal considerable fears were en tertained .

      Dreadful Explosion at Durham . —A catastrophe oi rather an unusual nature in that part of the country occurred at Durham on tho afternoon of the 9 th inst ., vntheshop of a respectable tradesman , named Steele , it appears from the best information that can be obtained that Mr . Steele was from , home , and that an apprentice , of about li vears of age , was left in charge of the shop , iii which and m the cellars underneath thci'C WilSaS much as 1001 b . weight of gunpowder , which it is the custom oi ' shopkeepersin this part of tho country to keep in large quantities , in order to supply their customers employed in the mining districts . No accurate information can be obtained as to the immediate cause of the explosion ; hut it is supposed that the bov , havine

      occasion to go to apart oi the shop which was rather dark , had lighted a candle for that purpose , and incautiously placed it near a package containing between 301 b . and 4 Gib . of powder , and that a spark having fallen upon the paper caused it to ignite . The effects of the explosion were felt in every part of the city , and in its more immediate neighbourhood , and the shop windows of the tradesmen within thirty or forty yards were literally shattered to atoms . The house in which the explosion tock place presented a singular appearance , the whole front and all the floors being blown into the street . Tlie daughter of a Mr . Robson , who was in a room on the second floor , waspyecipitated , with the furniture it contained , into the street , and buried amongst tho ruins , from

      winch situation she was shortly afterwards released , but in such a condition that no hopes arc entertained of her recovery ; her collar-bone and several of her ribs being broken , besides belli ? severely burnt . On searching the ruins , the boy wl . oit is supposed had been the cause of the accident , was found ou the steps leading to the cellar in a most delorable condition , theliairbeing ^ compJctely burnt offhis head , and his face and body dreadfully scorched . He was im- i mediately taken to the infirmary , but his death is hourly expected . The who and child of Mr . Steele ; were most miraculously preserved , having been buried in the ruins , but they were taken out without having sustained serious injury . Several persons who

      were passing at the time were seriously cut and injured from tlie broken glass and other materials that were flying about the street in all directions . It being known that a much larger quantity of gunpowder than had exploded still remained on the premises , great excitement prevailed for fear of another explosion ; but this was fortunately prevented by the daring conduct of two or three persons , who , at the imminent danger of their lives , penetrated into the cellar and succeeded in getting the three barrels in which it was deposited into a place of safety . The amount oi damage done is considerable ; but it has not at present been ascertained . The premises were not insured .

      Poisoxnw CASE AT CahlisIE . —John Graham , the person who , on Monday last , was apprehended and lodged in Carlisle gaol , having been suspected of poisoning his aged father , Mr . John Graham , of Grinsdale , near Carlisle , on tlie loth ult ., is now also suspected of poisoning his own wife , who died very suddenly about six months ago . This report having bcencommunicatedto the coroner , Mr . W . Carrick , that gentleman granted his warrant , authorising the exhumation of Mrs . Graliam . The disinterment took place on Sunday last , and , notwithstanding that Mrs . Graham had been so long buried ,

      decomposition had made but little progress . An inquest was being held ou the body on Tuesday before the same coroner . From the evidence adduced , and the re ports of the medical gentlemen who made the post mortem examination , and also an analysation of the internal parts of the body , ther e can be little or no doubt but that Mrs . Graham died from the effects of some mineral poison . Graham , we understand , since his confinementin Carlisle gaol , has manifested symptoms of great uneasiness , and when he was apprehended he was found watiiing on the hanks of the Carlisle canal , and it is strongly suspected that he intended to drown himself .

      Suicide . —On Monday morning , about four o ' clock , William , the son of Mr . ) Hanson , of the Waterloo Inn , Dalton , near Huddersficld , was found suspended from a beam in an adjoining outhouse , and when found was quite dead . The deceased did not return homo on the previous evening ( Sunday ) , but came at about two o'clock on the following morning , when , instead of going into the house , he went and lay down in the outhouse , where he was found . Jto reason can at pre sent be assigned for the commission of this rash act . An inquest was held on Monday night , when a verdict was returned of * ' Temporary insanity . "

      Extraordinary Delusions . —On Tuesday a Com ? mission of Lunacy was held before Mr . Francis Barlow , at the Crown Inn , Hockerill , near Bishop ' s Stortford , to inquire into the state of mind of . Mr . John Tucker , aged 65 , a nurseryman and keeper of the Cherry Tree public-house , at Bishop ' s Stortford . The inquiry , we understand , was held at the instigation of Mr . Tucker ' s own friends , and with a view to the mutual benefit of all parties concerned . After the examination of a number of witnesses to prove various acts denoting unsoundness of mind , Mr . Tucker was brought into the room , and a number of extraordinarydelusionswereelicitcd . The unfortunate

      man said he had got several men in his inside , who were complete masters over him , and that unless he did whatever they wished , his death would be the consequence . They also had got five machines , which they set to work at one time , so that he was afraid the violence of the motion would shatter him to pieces . They -would not allow him to move without paying an enormous sum , and for walking to this inquiry they had charged him three thousand trillions for every step he took . ' The jury , after a short deliberation , returned a verdict that Mr . Tucker had been of unsound mind , andincapable of managing his affairs , since February last .

      Foundering of a Vessel at Sea . —On Tuesday the barque Humber , of Goole , Hopkinson , arrived in the London Docks , from New Orleans . The master reports that on Thursday afternoon last , during a heavy gale from about SSW , aud when nearly sixty miles SW of Scilly , he descried a brig to leeward , evidently deeply laden , and with colours of distress flying . Mr . Hopkinson immediately bore down in the direction of the vessel ; but before the Humber reached the soot , the vessel in distress had foundered . When Mr . Hopkinson reached the spot , two of the

      ill-fated brig ' s crew were seen clinging to several of her spars ; but such was the tremendous sea running , that it was utterly impossible for a boat to live , and , consequently , Mr . Hopkinson was compelled to abandon his praiseworthy and laudable exertions to render assistance . The chief officer of the Humber saw another of the crew floating on the surface of the water . At the time the strange vessel went down , a brig was seen distant from her about half a mile , but owing to the heavy sea , no aid , it is supposed , could be afforded the unfortunate vessel and her illfated crew . Mr . Hopkinson believes her to have been a foreigner , and states that she was apparently about 20 € lions register . —Shipping Gazette .

      Thursday . —Mobbing a Sailor , —3 ames and Mary Foy were b ; v .-sht before the Lord Mayor , charged with having robbed a sailor , named Kichavd ' Hodgson , of two five-pound bank notes and a quantity of clothes . —The prosecutor , who appeared to be in great trouble about his loss , stated that lie came from Hull on Tuesday night in a steam vessel , aud James Foy applied to Wm at the Custom-house as a porter to be employed to fake his goods , and wa « accordingly desired by him to carry away his hammock and chest to the Dundee Arms public-house , Wapping . Witness having given the . direction , went into an eating-house to dine , and Foy started oif with the goods . U pon going to the Dundee Arms , however , witness found that Foy had not been there , and awav he roamed in search of the fellow . During the whole night he went inquiring from place to place , and on "Wednesday between two and three o ' clock he fell in with the person

      he sought , j Vhnmes-stnet . Foy said that he had taken the things to th ; station-house , in Tower-street , because he could not find out the place to which he had been directed to go . Tlie witness , upon going to the stationhouse with Foy , found his hammock a ? id chest there , but observed that the lashing on the chest had been disturbed , and that the lock had been forced . Upon opening the chest , he missed a small box , which contained two iiveponwl notes ; and , upon examining his hammock , which contained his bedding and clothes , he missed an oil-cloth jacket and three flannel shirts . Foy , upon being told that the property was stolen , replied that it might have been done ou board the steamer for what he knew , He was then detained , and witness went with a constable to ap . prehend Mary Foy , the prisoner's wife , and afterwards went to their lodgings in the Borough , where , in a cupboard , the officer found the small box in which the two

      bank notes had been contained , and behind two boxes the oil-cloth jacket . The two bank notes ' were gone—The prisoner Foy was committed for trial , and the Lord Mayor directed that if it was proved upon application at Moorfields Chape ] , that the female prisoner was married to Foy , she should be at once discharged .

      GUILDHALL . Monday . —Ixiicit Spjmts . —A hoy , named John Alger was brought before Mr . Alderman Morn charged with conveying -upwards of a gallon of raw Spirit WltllOllt 11 permit . Adam . Shelford , a city policeman , stated that about six o'clock on Saturday evening he saw the prisoner hurrying along lomhu-wall with a small basket containing something heavy . The prisoner ' s manner excited his attention , and he asked what he Had there ? The pri . soner replied , his mother's marketing , and , pointing to a woman at a distance , said , she was his mother . He asked the prisoner to let him see the contents of the basket . The prisoner told him he would not do so , but would rather go to the station-house . This reluctance put m \ end to his doubts , and he desired the prisoner to come with him to the station , On the way to that place the prisoner cave him the basket , and ran awav . Witness

      did not allow him to escape . The basket contained a bottle and a bladder full of spirits , which had been seized by the Excise . Mr . Alderman Moon asked what became of his mother % The constable said sbe kept at too great a distance to he secured at the same time with tlie boy , but she was now in court , . She was not his mother , but his mother was also in attendance . "W , Gudgeon , the exciseman , said tho spirit was manufactured from mo . lasses , and was twenty-seven degrees over-proof , a strength at which it would not be sold from any regular distillery . Ho asked for the permit , and the prisoner could not produce any . The boy said he was hired to carry it by the woman he pointed out , hnd had no knowledge of the contents of the basket . This woman knew his mother , who lived in Arnold ' s-phice , Dockhead . The woman was called to the bar , and she said she engaged to carry it for

      a stranger . She was not going to any particular house . The clerk to the Remembrancer said that gentleman had some knowledge of the mother , and he did not believe that either she or her son would knowingly engage in any smuggling transactions . The boy must have been entrapped , and He hoped the magistrate would deal leniently with him . Mr . Alderman Moon said the law did not re * < juire a guilty knowledge , and as there was no doubt of the fact that he was removing tlie spirits without a permit , the prisoner must be convicted . A petition might be immediately J pYcsented to the Commissioners of Excise , who would consider all the circumstances and the lad ' s previous character , and would mitigate the term of imprisonment as they saw fit . He would willingly add to the petition a recommendation to mercy . ¦ He adjudged tlie prisoner to pay the mitigated penalty of . £ 25 , or be imprisoned for three months .

      WORSHIP STREET . " Wednesdat . —Brutal Assault . —Charles Montague , a milkman , was brought up on a warrant before Mr . Bingham , charged with committing a brutal assault upon Mr . Francis Povoas , a cofl ' ce-house keeper , in Oxfordplace , Hackney-road , whereby his life had been seriously endangered . The prosecutor , who appeared to labour under great debility , stated that , shortly before twcVre o ' clock on the night of the 27 th ult ., the prisoner , accompanied by two other men , named Gillott and Chillingworth , entered his house and called for refreshments , but , in consequence of their having grossly misconducted themselves on a previous occasion , he refused to serve them . The prisoner and his companions on this as . sailed him with the most abusive mid threatening language , and , on his requesting them to quit the place , the man Cbillingworth ( who is not yet in custody } struck

      him a violent blow in theface , which cut open his lips and covered his shirt and waistcoat with blood . The whole party then left the house , and the witness followed them to give them into custody ; but on reaching a piece of waste ground which the men crossed to avoid the police , they all turned upon and attacked him in the most furious manner , knocking him down , and beating him till he was nearly senseless , and ultimately flung him head and heels into a deep muddy ditch , whore they left him , and effected their escape . "With great difficulty he succeeded in extricatinghimsclf from his perilous position , almost stifled with mud and filth , but was so greatly exhausted by his efforts that he fainted the instant he reached the bank , where he was discovered some time after in a state of insensibility by some persons who were passing , and who removed him to a neighbouring shop , and procured medical assistance . He was at length assisted to his

      own bouse , to which he had been confined ever since , incapable of attending to his business , and constantly under the care of a surgeon , A certificate from Mr . Taylor , a surgeon at Hackney , was put in , describing the present condition of the ^ vosewtra , mm \ stating that when called upon to attend M " . Povoas he found him incapable of articulation , and in a highly dangerous state , IViivii called upon for his defence , the prisonerdid not altogether deny the charge , but alleged that the really serious part of the outrage had been perpetrated by the men Chillingworth and Gillott , in whose companhe hae unfortunately happened to he at the time , and who had succeeded in keeping out of the way . Mr . Bingham said , that the summary power with which he was invested

      was altogether inadequate to deal with so serious a charge as this , and he considered that the ends of justice could only be insured by sending the case to the sessions . The prosecutor , however , iutevposedj and begged that the magistrate would deal summarily with the matter , asit would entail upon him considerable expense , and the greatest inconvenience and annoyance , in his state cf health , to prosecute the case any further , Mr . Bingham said , that , under those circumstances , he felt bound to forego hisjformer intention , and accede to theprosecutor's application ; but , in so doing-, he should inflict upon the prisoner the highest amount of penalty it was in his power to impose , which was the sum of ia , and if that was not paid , the prisoner must stand committed to the House of Correction for six weeks , with hard labour .

      MARLBOROUGH-STREET . The Dl'se a . vb the Carter , —It will bo recollected , that on Satin-day week Henry Wood , the driver of a carrier ' s cart , was fined £ i by Mr . Hardwiuk , for furious driving , whereby he endangered the life « f his O race the Duke of Wellington . A few days after this proceeding a letter appeared in the papers , signed " Truth , " in which the writer asserted that the fine had been paid by his Grace , and that the offender had in consequence been liberated . A day or two ago Wood came to this court to ask Mr . Hardwick whether any money . , had been left for him at this court by the Duke of Wellington , as he presumed that such had been the ease , and having become known had induced tlie writer of the letter signed "Truth" to send his communication to the panel's . —Mr . Hardwick

      said he had received no money from his Grace for such a purpose , nor did he think it would be a very proper act on the part of his Grace , whose life had been placed in jeopardy by the defendant ' s want of care in driving , and who had come forward to make his complaint , partly ou public grounds . —Wood said he considered the fine was heavy when liis circumstances were taken into consideration . He , however , through the assistance of a relation , whom he was obliged to pay again , had raised the money , and he had liberated himself . —Mr . Hardwick said he had received a Post-office order for £ 1 , and half a sovereign from anonymous contributors to go towards payment of the fine , which he should direct to be paid over to Wood . — The chief usher , Clements , handed the money to Wood , who gave a receipt , and then left the court .

      LAMBETH . MONDAT , —AH IXCOBBIO / BIE Yovsa Thief . —Michael Leonard , a little fellow of fifteen years of age , was brought before Mr , Henry for final examination , on a charge of stealing a purse from the person of a young woman while looking at a " Punch and Judy" show . On Ms last examination the prisoner declared that he had never been in custody before , and expressed himself very indignant npon Cook , the gaoler , saying he was pretty certain about his having been in his care before . Cook told the magistrate he was more confirmed in his opinion about the prisoner being hi custody before , by the fact of a young prostitute from Wlutcchapel bringing him some refreshments , but theyoung scamp brazened it but , and said " the young woman" was no acquaintance of his , nor could he account for her bringing him the refreshments . Yesterday , Conway , an active constable , belonging to the H division of police , proved that the prisoner hud been frequently in custody , and had been in the House of Correction . He was committed for three months with hard labour .

      WEOTESDAr . —Suicide , Seduction , a . vd Feloky . — Miss Mary Ann SaUsbury , alias Miss Lucy Spencer , who on a former occasion gave a romantic account of her seduction , and who had been charged with attempting to commit suicide , was placed at the bar before Mr . Xovton for final examination on various charges of felony . The prisoner when put in the felons' dock did not exhibit any of those theatrical airs which she had assumed at her last examination . On the contrary , during her presence at the bar she continued to shed tears in abundance , and endeavoured , us well as she could , to conceal her face from the observation of the numerous persons who had thronged the court during the investigation . When the prisoner was brought before Mr . Norton , on a charge of attemptiu" to commit suicide , her statement about her

      Ma3s10s House. Sati-Bda*. — Determined S...

      being the daughter of a Dissenting clergyman at Bath , and being seduced and robbed , was so plausible , as no ; only to mislead every person in court , bu : the magistrate himself , and Mr . Norton directed English , one of the summoning . oniccrs , to take care of her until an answer could be received from her father , and also requested the chief cleric to write to the latter . This was done , and in replyto the letter sent , the following was received : — " Guildhall , Bath , 7 th June , 1 S 15 . " Mr ,-In answer to your letter of the . ith inst ., 1 have t'i inform you that theynum : wnman who gave her name Mary Ann t 5 a / : \ £ . urj is the d : ui- ! iu ; -., ; sjaiisburv , a poor man , residing ; it So . 4 , Trim-bridge , hi this city , and n shoemaker , She left her home about two months u ^ o and her address , known here , is ' post-oftke , London , ' Her age is nineteen years . Her statement as to Alfred lSartram is a falsehood , no such person beinsr known here . She is considered not right in her mind , ilw statement as to the gold watch and jewellery is not tm ?; her friends are too poor to fetch her home , but are iinxlou = lv waiting her return . " I am , Sir , your obedient servant , „ , „ , n , "William Hall , Chief Officer . "To the Chief Clerk , Lambeth Court . "

      A City constable attended and informed Mr . Norton , that the prisoner had been before the Lord Mavor on a charge of attempting to commit suicide at London-bridge , when she made a long ami rambling statement about her respectability , horbeing seduced , kc , but it differed in manv essentials from that which she had made at this court , ft also appeared that she had gone to the Southwark court for the purpose of getting relief , but having on her hand at tlie time two valuable rings , she was not deemed a person in absolute want , mid no assistance was afforded her . —Mr . Norton also produced a letter which , he had received from the lfev . L . Cappel , minister of St . George's German Lutheran Chapel , in Great Alie-street , Goodman ' s-tieKIs , stating that on the 28 th of last month the prisoner called upon him with the view , no doubt , of getting peuuwuirv assistance under grossly false pretences . She then gave her name as Lucy Spencer ; said she was the daughter of a clergyman , and sister to the Kev . Mr . Spencer at Bath

      , and said a foreign lady , Mrs . Francis , had sent her n him ( the Rev . Mr . Cappel ) . She then in the -most awful w » miter , and apparently deeply affected , told the same story that she had repeated to the magistrate , with some slight variations , and expressed herself very anxious to reiurn to llath , but was without the means of doing so , as her lover had robbed her of cvevyttiwg , - . vnu then endeavoured to induce her to commit suicide . Something in her manner had induced the rev . gentleman to doubt her stow , but - . it the same time he offered to assist her , provided sfie allowed him to accompany her to Mrs . Francis , the lady who , as she stated , hud recommended her to him . This , however , was evidently inconvenient . She made some evasive excuses and left the house . The rev . gentleman in his note describes the prisoner to be one of the most artful impostors he had ever met with , and most liltelv to succeed on account of the details which she could give to her stories . The first ease of felony taken against her

      was tnat ot a . Mrs . Farthing , in Ashley . crcsecnt , City-road , and , from the evidence adduced , it appeared that the prisoner had entered her service as servant of all-work on the 14 th of April last . She then represented that she had hilt just C-ome from Rath , where she had lived with a lady named Salisbury for nearly four years , ami gave her own liamo as Lucy Spencer . Witness wrote to Bath to Mrs . Salisbury tor Iter character , and , similar to say , she received an answer by return of post , giving the prisoner the highest character ; but tins letter witness was now convinced was in the prisoner ' s own hand-writing . Alter nine days witness discharged the prisoner , finding her neither able nor willing to do her work , and a great deal too romantic in her manners and expressions . After she was gone witness missed a great variety of property , and that now produced by English , the officer , was part of it , —English , one of the summoning officers of the court , deposed that the prisoner was placed under his care until

      proper inquiries were made about her . She told him her name was Salisbury , and thatshe was the daughter of a Dissenting minister at Bath-that her father had a country house at Rath , and had a farm also , which she superintended . She said nothing whatever of having been in service at Rath ; and on searching her box at her lodgings he found the property identified by the last witness , and some duplicates relating to other property . This completed the first charge . —The second charge was that of Miss Mary Bavtram , assistant to Mrs . Ford , a dressmaker in the Dlackfriars-road , who deposed that on the 12 th of May last the prisoner entered the service of Mrs . Ford , when she gave the name of Lucy Spencer , and , after eight days , had been discharged . A day or two after she was gone witness lost a cloak , and other articles had been missed , of the stealing of which the prisoner had been suspected' A luce shawl had been missing , aud for some considerable time the workpeople in the house had laboured under the most unpleasant suspicions , as the property had disappeared in a very mysterious manner ; but the mystery was now cleared up , as the shawl was found in the prisoner ' s box , with several other articles . Witness further tated

      s , that she had frequently heard the prisoner talk o £ having a sweetheart in Bath , who had died three years ago , and say she should never have another , The witness further identified the cloak produced by a pawnbroker as her ' s ; and English , the officer , deposed to having found the duplicate relating to the cloak , which was pledged for 6 s ., in the box of the prisoner . This completed the second charge , —The third charge was that of stealing three shawls , a piece of silk of twelve yards , five yards of cloth , a white petticoat , and other articles , tho property of Mary Ann Clark . In tins case it appeared the prisoner went to lodge in the same house with the prosecutrix in Fell-street , Wood-street , Cheapside , on the 10 th of May last , and only stayed there two days , and when she was gone the property was missing . —A shopman to Mr , Dcmster , a pawnbroker in Blackfriars-road , produced the property , which had been pledged on the 12 th of May , in the same name and by a person giving- the same address as the person who pledged the cloak . —The prisoner , who in a low tone of voice pleaded guilty to tlie whole of the charges , was fully committed for trial on each , and was then removed ftom . the bar .

In relation to the above strike we have received the following : —For some time past the Miners late in the employ of Aiessrs . Swire and . Lees have been subjected " to ' thc most vexatious anneypnec from various parties connected with the works belonging to the abovementioned gentlemen , and to such an extent litis this annoyance been carried on , that the poor fellows , goaded to madness , have committed some slight breaches of the peace , when they have

      been almost instantly pounced upon and dragged before the magistrates , and some of them committed to prison . On Monday last two of the men were taken before the magistrates at I lytic . One of them , named Ralph Chaddcrton , was charged with . i serious assault , which , however , turned out to be a most ludicrous affair . It appeared from the evidence of the complainant , Wm . Rowland , that he was standing within his own door with a paint-brush in his hand , when a great number of Miners passed in a kind of procession , and Chaddcrton got hold of him by the breast and said "Come on , Chadderttm ; " did not strike him , hut tore his shirt . —Mr . lloberts addressed the bench on behalf of Chaddcrton , and eailcd two witnesses , who contradicted the most material points in the evidence of the complainant , and swore that Llowhmd threatened to stab Chaddcrton . The magistrates , however , convicted the prisoner in forty shillings and costs . The other man , John Holt , was charged with intimidation , inasmuch as he was passing the window of William Hartshorn ' s house , and held up his child to the window , saying " Here ' s a flint '"—Mr . Brooks opened the case , and called witnesses to prove the truth of his statements . Mr . Roberts severely cross-examined tho witnesses , and his address to the magistrates on behalf of the prisoner made a powerful impression upon the court , for , after deliberating for a few minutes , the magistrates ordered the prisoner to be liberated . The money was paid for Chaddcrton , and he was consequently liberated .
