      NOMINATION—Wednesday , Atbxl 5 th . The doors of the Exchange were thrown open by about a quarter to ten o ' clock this morning , and every part of the room soon became densely crowded . Shortly after ten o'clock , commenced the legal forms , the reading of the writ and the proclamation against bribery , daring wbion there were repeated calls of " Wbitf do yon think of that John ? " after ibese were concluded , Lord RAKCLiTPBmade his appearance amidst lond cheer ing , and said brother electors and non-electors , he had the pleasure of proposing to them a candidate worth ; of their support ; but preTioos to doing bo he wished to assure the gentleman on bis right that he would avoid any personalities ; he wished to per * sue -a straightforward , fair , and honest eonrse ; he was thereto advocate principles and BOt to . serve

      the cause of either Whig or Tory ; he would ask what had the Whigs done for the people—( nothing ) ] —nor had they anything to expect from them ; and he would ask what had the Tories done ! . Why , Peel had told them that he would prescribe when he had got possession of the fee—but ne was like tke Doctor srho ' j&re no relief , bat aid , * I physics , I bleedsj and I swa&ts ' mn . " He stood before them now as he did in 1812—they might say that lie was aot much Improved—but he field bow the same princi ples which lie held then . He was the firm advocate of Annual Parliaments—( lond cheers)—of Tote . by Ballot , and TJmversal Suffrage—( continued and prolonged cheers ) -4 n fact , hs agreed with and supported every principle of the Charter ; but it appeared that the Tories thought that instead of the principles of the Charter being carried out , that the ptdule of Nottingham were to be handed from father

      to sod . ( Laughter . ) Now he held this to be the greatest absurdity . It was hereditary legislation . Mr . Walter , Jan ., had not told them his political opinions—and he was ignorant of them . He could not discover what ie was abont ; but Mr . Gisborne was the tried advocate of the working man ' s rights , and agreed with him ( Lord B . ) that the people were the source of all power and wealth ; it remained for them to judge like men , and Bay whether they would have a tried friend of their cause , or one who seemed afraid to state his political opinions . He would also add , that by returning Mr . Gisborne they would Wipe away the stain from their characters ; and he was not only an advocate for the People's Charter , but was opposed to the Corn Laws . He concluded by proposing Thomas Gisborne , Jun ., as a fit and proper person to represent the town of Nottingham in Parliament .

      D . Bean , Esq ., in seconding his nomination , said that it was well knowp that be was an Anti-Corn Law mas . He also wished to see the rich paupers done away with , to prevent the polished scamp from putting his hands into the pockets of the people and robbing them by Act of Parliament . He had much pleasure in seconding the nomination of Thos . Gisbono , jun . —( cheers . ) Mr . Chablton , who was received with much dissatisfaction , said that he claimed at their hands fair play which open-hearted Englishmen should grant to each other—( hear , hear , from Mr . O'Connor)—they would also , perhaps , be more patient when he told them that he should not detain them long —\ hear , hear)—the recent events which were well known to them had caused a vacancy for a

      member for Nottingham , and he had a candidate to propose to . them . The Noble Lord who proposed Mr . Gisborne bad said that ho had been a member for twelve years , and be agreed with him that he had been the friend of the working man ' s rights—( here the speaker who was much confused , said that he had forgot , which was met with cries of " Your fast" )—he was now about to name a candidate to them , Mr . J . Walter , jun ., whom they had never seen before —( cries of M We don't want to see him again ")—and thought he was youngr , bo was not younger than the Noble Lord when be first represented Nottingham ; he would remark that the committee had absolved Mr . Walter personally from being a party to bribery , and he fought their battles well and often . It iad been asked what were

      the political opinions of Mr . J . Walter , jun ., but he said that was not to the question—( Oh . ) It was immaterial for this election . Their part was apart from all political motives —( laughter ) . And as to Mr . Gieborne , it appeared doubtful to which part of the liberals be belonged . Was it their intention to forget Whiggery ? ( Yes ) . Would Mr . Gisborae go the whole length of the Charier I ( Yes . ) But he would tell them that the Whigs were more their enemies than the Tories . Eijfht months ago Mr . Walter had to conund against secret enemies ; now all would be fair and above board . He accused the parties who had entered into the compromise of having opposed Mr . Walter . ( Loud cheers from Mr . Walter's friends , and counter cheers from Mr . Gisborne ' s ) He would sit down by propping John Walter , the unflinching advocate of your rights . Mr . J . Barkeb seconded him .

      Mr . J . Sweet , who was loudly cheered on coming forward , said that he should propose a man who wonld advocate the rightR of all men . Thoy had heard something about the New Poor Law , but he could not look upon those men as sincere who deprived the people of that power by which alone they could ges it repealed . He proposed F . O'Connor , Esq . as a fit and proper person . Mr . C . Roberts said that he had again the honor of seconding the nomination of F . O'Connor , Esq . Mr . Gisbornb then rose , but gave way to Mr . Melville who proposed Air . Tyas .

      Mr . Chas . Wilcockson seconded him , when Mr , Gisbobnk again came forward , and was received with loud applause , and said—Electors and Inhabitants of Nottingham , as he had the honour of standing before them as a candidate , he thought that it was a privilege to which he was entitled , to know who were his opponentB—for as to the last candidate he knew nothing , and he believed from what he saw , that they were all equally ignorant as to who he was , what was his occupation , or where he came from—and under these circumstances he must ask the Sheriff to again repeat his name , and inform them of his residence .

      This was complied with amidst considerable langhter , Mr . Gisborne observed that they did not appear to be much wiser . Now he ( Nlr . Gisborne ) wished for a fair stand-up English fight , and he believed that it was usual for them to shake hands before engaging , and he tendered his hand to Mr . Walter ( this Mr . W . refused . ) Well , he had offered it to him in good faith , for he could assure them that he had no personal animosity , but he stood there to assert principles which he had advocated for twelve years , and during that time no one had accused him of inconsistency ; and he boped that they would give to bis opponents as patient an hearing as they bad given him , for he wished te give them every

      opportunity of pulling his character to pieces—he had gat with Mr . Walter on his side of the House , until Mr . Walter was ashamed of it , by Mr . O'Connell calling him " The last Rose of Summer , " and Mr . Walter then kept his proper situation on the Tory side of the House . Mr . J . Walter , jun ., in his address , had stated that he did not think it safe to come amongst them sooner . This was the first time wo had set eyes upon him , because of the danger he would have been in , if he had been amongst U 3 sooner . Now , he ( Mr . Gisborne ) said that where there was no roguery , there was no danger ; but he should say that the danger was in him stopping away , for it was certain that he knew of this address , and that he approved of it , and that of itself was prima facia evidence that he

      only Btopped away , in order that the bribery might not be traced to him , though in reality it was evidenced that he sanctioned it—for if there were no intentions to commit bribery there was no need to stop away . He ( Mr . Gisborne ) did not keep away ; but as his remarkB appeared to make his opponents uncomfortable , he would go to more general principles , after he had adverted to another circumstance . They had been told that the Whigs could not consistently support him ( Mr . Gisborae )—( hear , hear , hear . ) Now , he contended that they could n » t consistently do otherwise . He ( Mr . G ) did not differ from them on principle , and the only difference was , that they set limitations to their principles , and be did not agree with the

      limitations ; and he had , as he had Btated , supported the Whigs to keep out the Tories , for since Toryism had again commenced , tyranny had raised its head in every form ; in the courts of law , by magistrates on the bench , and in ecclesiastical courts . ( Hear , hear . ) The Lord Chief Justice has carried political partisanship and intolerance to the bench , —( hear , ) —and not only made use of his situation to browbeat witnesses , but defendants . ( Cheers . ) He then exposed the conduct of the magistrates—the recent decision with respect to church rates—and the sending oat of bishops—and it was singular that the Lord of the Admiralty should select the steam-ship Devastation to send out that minister of peace the Biahop of Jerusalem ; ha also alluded to several of

      the Clauses in the proposed Education Bill ; he thanked Mr . Cbarlton for saying that he had always been the friend of the working classes . [ Mr . t harlton —I did not Bay so . ] ( Cries of you did . ) [ Mr . Cbarlton , then it was a Blip , j He ( Mr . Gisborne ) challenged them to show to ibe contrary ; he was glad to see the liberals united , for cold aristrocratic Whiggery could not put down Toryism . He was an advocate for the extension of the Suffrage ; he had always held that the safest place to deposit the Suffrage , was with the whole people , and without any otter limitation than such as is necessary to have a registration . He had looked at all classes and he had not discovered one that would produce good Government ; uld abuse that

      there was not one class but what wo power—the class who now possessed it had abased it , and they were more ignorant than the body of the people , and were always behind them . And what little good thiy did get , was caused by the pressure from without ; and if they wished for tyranny to be curbed , magisterial authority to be properly restrained , and the people to enjoy their rights , they would not send a boy . ( A voice , " but is there nothing else than Universal Suffrage ! ' ) Mr . Gisborne thought that he had fully explained his views on that subject . He would say , in conclusion , that if be was elected and they shoHld at any time call upon him to resign , he would do bo .

      Mr . J . Walteb , jun , then came forward and said , that Mr . Gisborne had said that the working people were before the constituency and the legislature , and therefore , Mr . GiBborne could not be possessed of much knowledge , as he aspired to belong to the inferior classes . In the observation" he should make he should be guarded to put a proper construction npon what had bees said ; and he claimed their regards for the unequivocal attachment they had shewn to his father . He did not come there from ambitious feelings , and therefore , if he was returned it wonld enhance the value of it both to himself and his father . ( Langhter . ) Mr . Gisborne certainly had one advantage over him , as he ( Mr . J . Walter ) had not any past conduct to refer to , but he advocated the same principles as hiB father ; and his father bad given proofs of his conduct . ( LODg-OODtinned laughter . ) Bat if he was to come here

      on different principles—( here the speaker came to a pause , and there was a cry that " he wanted afresh book . " ) Young as he was , be was old enough to remember when Mr . Gisborne endeavoured aa far as possible , to deprive the poor of their rights , by supporting the Kingdair Enclosure Bill , and his father , to his immortal honour , succeeded in throwing it out . Now , aa bis enemies had a * other charge to bring against him ( Mr . Walter ) they had brought forward one of a very heinous hatare—a charge of being ¦ young , and to that he must plead guilty ; bnt let the despisers of youth tell them what intrinsic value there is in age . He considered youth was the time when they were most free from age , and as he was young that was a fault which he should mend of in time—he hoped that he : should improve—( hear , hear ) , —and should they think him worthy of being tbeir representative—( no , no ) , —he hoped

      Untitled Article

      they would find that he Bhould improve , and that he should be always found to serve them to their satisfaction . After some other remarks ihe Hon . Candidate sat down . Mr . O'CoifNOB said , that the gentleman who proposed Mr . Walter alluded to the untoward event by ^ whioh that gentleman had been unseated , and believed ithat that event had been brought about by the most puerile and insufficient evidence , as indeed he ( Mr . O'Connor ) had told Mr . Walter . He , however , could not complain , as be had been ousted by the casting-vote of a . " whole-Wf" ( Hogg ) Tory , bristles and all —( laughter ) . He ( Mr . O'Connor ) supposed that although the charges were futile , and the evidence insufficient—he supposed that

      casting vote had been given from the feeling that he ( Mr . Walter ) deserved unseating for 20 a . bribery , while Hogg had at his own election given £ 26 per head to bis voters —( cheers and laughter ) . The Chartists had . been taunted with having formed an anomalous coalition with the Whigs , but he ( Mr . O'Connor ) never heard of an individual who refused aid when , he needed it ; and in this case the Chartists were the mountain , and the Whigs Mahomet , for they came to the Chartists —( hear , hear ) . It had been balm to his ( Mr . O'Connor ' s ) soul to hear the speech of the Noble Lord who had proposed Mr . Gisborne in advocacy of those opinions for which he ( Mr . O'Connor ) had suffered persecution , as that Noble Lord was one who had a stake

      in tbe country , and a character to lose—( "hear , hfar , " and a voice— "Has he really 1 " ) He ( Mr . O'Connor ) had said last weekj in his speech in the Market-place , that unless they could get a man worthy of their support , he himself would go to the poll , and he now begged to tell Mr . Gisborne that he must give them a bettor account of the Charter—( hear , hear , and cheers ) . These were trying times , but Mr . Gisborne had given them nothing but a hodge-podge detail of Bishops of Jerusalem and Ecclesiastical Courts , while they wanted the Charter as the leverage by which the corruption of State

      might be overthrown—( cheers ) . He supposed Mr . Gisborae had given the assurance he required on behalf of the Chartists to the leaders of their party ; but was he now ashamed to publicly acknowledge hie promise to support the Charter ?—( heat ) . Mr . O'Connor then charged both Whigs and Tories with oppression and self-seeking , and went on to say that the Chartists ought not to take up the cudgels for any adherent to either party , but only for such a candidate as was a confirmed friend of Annual Parliaments , Universal Suffrage . Vote by Ballot . Electoial Districts ^ No Property Qualification , and Payment of Members . Some allusion had been made to

      the Poor Law , and to give honour where honour was due , he gave praise to Mr . Walter for his opposition to that measure , and acknowledged that Mi . Walter had likewise done something to set his ( Mr . O'Connor s ) house in order—the prison —( laughter ) . But supposing he had done thia and more , it was all of no value taken seotionally ; the people must have the power of making the laws , and then no poor laws could exist —( cheers ) . The burdens which now crushed the people to the earth would be removed , and happiness would be restored to the land . He thought , when he heard Mr . Walter ' s speech , that there was more than one vacancy ; he certainly seemed i speaking for himself and his father too . In the anxiety of the son to make his youth of no

      disadvantage he appeared to be at the same time making out the walking ticket for his father . — ( laughter ) . Mr . Walter was connected with the Times newspaper , and he also connected the individual with the journalist . In that paper , when it was some time ago giving accounts of the arrest of Chartist leaders for advocating the rights of tbe people , it daily added a postscript , " They have not caught the right man yet . " Now , he ( Mr . O'Connor ) found no fault with the judges , and less with jurors ; but he did find fault that the Times newspaper , with the gigantic power that it possessed , should descend to the task of ferreting out the game for the Government ; and from the moment of his ( O'Connor ' s ) victory over Sir James Graham ,

      the Times was constant in its recommendations to Government to get him ( O'Connor ) transported —sent out of the country—( " hear , " and " shame ") . God forbid that he ( Mr . O'Connor ) should let his political objects merge into personal feelinge but be had plenty of such opportunities as the present of taking ample revenge . Mr . O'Connor then / in allusion to the Bishop of Jerusalem , abused the Church at some length , saying that its dignitaries never set foot even upon the most remote island but they caused confusion , war , and destitution . Whig corruption was next attacked under the image of a rotten tree , which made the air putrid , and , lik » the Upas of the desert , was fatal to everything , both animal and vegetable , within its baneful

      influence . He then alluded to the free trade party , who were anxious that the Chartists , if they eould not go all the way with them , should at least go as far as they eould ; but , whea they had got everything they wanted , it would be , " Good night , Mr . Chartist , we are at home , and you may go back or not as you can I" They wanted to make mere machines of the working classes—to lead thorn out in the morning to work , and into their stalls at night when their labour was over . But when the labour of tbe working mau was protected in the same ratio as the capital of his employer , then there would be a return of those halcyon days when the children of the poor man might be gambolling and playing , with vigour in their limbs , and health painted on

      tbeir oheefcs , instead of being carried to work on the backs of worn-out and wo-begone mothers . ( Cheers . ) Mr . O'Connor concluded a very long speech , by an attack upon Mr . Walter for changing his politics , and said , that if he ( Mr . O'Connor ) had disposed of the organ which represented the Chartists ( meaning the Northern Star ) as Mr . Walter had disposed of The Times , he should blush to show his face in public again . He could not say anything about the compromise , as he wag not in possession of the facts of the case , but he could tell them something about the sale of the Times , because he was acquainted with the whole of the transaction . Alexander Baring , now Lord Aehburton , and Lord Wharncliffe , were the Tories who

      bought it , and £ 187 , 000 was the sum paid . . They then said to Mr . Walter , " We shall want a new editor , " Mr . Walter said , " Ob , no , I'll see Barnes . " Mr Walter then went to Barnes and said , "We must come out Tory to-morrow . " ( A laugh . ) He then told Barnes that they wanted to have a new editor , to which BarneR replied , " What fools they must be to think I can write only on one side ! " ( Loud laughter . ) Mr . Gisborne had given the Chartists the best possible proof of his sincerity in promising to resign his seat when called on , and if he answered the questions which he intended shortly to put he should recommend them

      to support him . Mr . Walk * . —I beg to claim the indulgence of the meeting , for a single moment , while I notice an allegation which has just been made by the individual who last addressed you . Upon my honour , I have not spoken to any public man on the subject of the press for the laBt twenty years . With respect to what he says as to the sale of a property with which I was then connected , I tell you , upon my honour , there is not the shadow of a foundation for it , and I believe that he knows what be says to be utterly false . Mr . Tyas then addressed the electors , but was much interrupted .

      Mr . O'Connor said he had not yet resigned , as , before he did that , he must have from Mr . Gisborne , who had spoken in favour of the six points , an unequivocal answer to a straightforward question . Did Mr . Gisborne , whea the People's Charter was brought under the consideration of the House of Commons , intend to support that measure ? Mr . Gisborne . —I think I have given an explanation . Mr . O'Connor . —Say M Yes" or " No . " ( Cries of " Order , order . ") Mr . Gisborne . —I have spoken as an independent mau ; I have declared my principles in such a way that no mau can misunderstand them . I oannot be misunderstood ; I do not think it fair . Mr . O'Connor . —If I understand Mr . Gisborne aright , I am satisfied .

      Mr . Charlton—I am not , and I request a plain answer . Will you , or will you not support the Charter ! I ask for a plain " yes , " or " no . " No answer being given , Mr . Charlton said , Mr . Gisborne will not answer ; I , therefore , put it to your ( the electors , ) common sense , if you have not a right to infer , that he will not support the Charter 1 Mr . O'Connor—I put a question to young Mr . Walter , will you support the six points in the Charter ! Mr . Walter , jun . —I will give an explicit answer , if that will elicit an . equally explicit answer from Mr . Gisborae j ^ I will not—( confusion and cheers ) . ''¦?} . '

      Mr . O'Connor and Mr . Tyas having retired from the contest , the Sheriff called for a show of hands ifor Mr . Gisborne , ' when almost every hand was held up in the body of the Hall—( cheers ) . A very few only appeared for Mr . Walter , jun ., with tbe exception of those on tke hustings . Mr . Gisborne haying been declared to have the show < sf haads in his favour , Mr . Charlton demanded a poll for Mr . Walter , jun ., which was appointed to take place in the Market-place , at eight o ' clock the next morning , to whioh time an adjournment took place . : The Hall was ' oleared abont twenty minutes before two o ' clock , the proceedings having occupied nearly four hours .

      THE POLL—Thtosdat . The canvassers , eleotion agents , and district managers , set to work in good earnest , at a very early nwrt . It was understood- that inany of the Tories had breakfasts provided , and then the voters were brought up to the polling booths , so as to have the first chance .

      V soner had be on in the habit of dealing at Mr . Mosa crop's shop for several months previous to thia occurrence , and that five or six weeks before she had come and asked for a pennyworth of arsenic to kill mice . It was refused unless she would bring a witness with her . She went away , and in the coarse of half an hour came back with another woman , and finally was allowed to buy an ounce of arsenic , which was put up in paper marked " Poison . " Dr . Brown addressed the Jury for the defence .

      contending that all the circumstances of the case were consistent with the supposition that the deceased had got the pofson somewhere else , in the interval between his leaving home and his appearance at Messrs . Eden and Th waites ' s , or that it had by some accident found its way into his food . He submitted the case was altogether top doubtful to found a verdict of guilty against the prisoner . His Lordship having summed Bp , the Jury retired for about an hour , and finally returned into court with a verdict of Guilty .

      There were two other indictments against the prisoner for the murder of Alice Haslam and Naucy Haslam by the same means . Alice had died on the 9 th of September , and Nancy some time before , when the prisoner wa 9 a widow . On the bodies being disinterred , arsenic in large quantities was discovered-in the stomachs . In these oases , a verdict of " Wilful Murder" had been returned by the coroner ' s inquest , but these indictments were not now proceeded with . His Lordship in a most impressive address sentenced the prisoner to death .

      The prisoner was very passive until the sentence was passed , when , on the gaoler proceeding to remove her from the bar , she clasped her hands together , and moaned out , "Oh , mercy , my Lord and Gentlemen ! Have mercy on me for this timel "

      at least £ 8 000 per year for the whole Borough , and for the Township of Hunslet an increase of from £ 700 to £ 1 000 per year will be required—thus doubling the present Highway Rate of tbat place , and thus throwing the whole expences incurred in improving , maintaining , and keeping in repair such Roads , with indiscriminate injustice , upon the Ratepayers : while numbers who do not reside within the Borough , but who traffic on and damage the Roads , will never be called upon to contribute a farthing towards their repairs ; and the greatest portion of the poor , who are neither sufficiently fed , clothed , lodged , nor educated , and who have neither horse , nor ass , nor vehicles of traffic , or of pleasure , will be still -more heavily taxed to improve , maintain , aud repair the Highways .

      On tbe mo- ion of Mr . Samuel Beaumont , seconded by Mr . Robert Foster What , 2 adly . Tnat the following Memorial be Signed by the Chairman on behalf of this Meeting , and seat to the Borough Members for presentation in the House or Commons , and to Earl Stanhope in the House of Lords , and , together with the Resolutions , be printed in the four Leeds Papers , and that Mr . Thomas Jones and Mr . Richard fiayldon form the Committee to carry out the same . The Chairman having left the Chair , it was taken by Joshua Bower , E ^ q ., and on the motion of Joseph Beckett , Esq ., seconded by Mr . Thomas Jones , it was unanimously resolved , that the best Thanks of the Meeting were due to Charles G . Maclea' , Esq ., for his conduct in tha Chair .

      TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORDS SPIRITUAL AND TEMPORAL IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED . The Petition of the Ratepayers resident in the Township of Hunslet , in the Borough of Leeds , in Public Meeting assembled . Humbly Sheweth , —That your Petitioners have learnt that a Bill is now passing through yonr Honourable House , entitled " A Bill to continue Local Turnpike Acts , and to amend the Laws relating to Turnpik- Roads in England and Wales , " the 19 th clause of which enacts " that from and after the time when any local Act for regulating Turnpike Roads would , but for this Act , have expired ^ no Toll shall be taken and no Money shall be laid out on any Road , or part of any Road , comprised in suoh Act , which shall be within the limits of any Act for tho Improvement of any Town or part or parts of a Town . "

      Your Petitioners , fully aware of the immense injury which this clause will produce on the labouring portion of society , and those who Ii&ve not any animal or vehicle to damage the aforesaid Roads , would respectfully request your honourable House to take the subject iuto your serious consideration , that you may become fully acquainted with the grosa iojnsuce which the enactment of such a clause will naturally produce on the poor Inhabitants of this Township , whose appalling condition is now almost without parallel , in consequence of the present depressed state of Trade , and the already enormous taxes they are called upon to pay .

      Your Petitioners wonld beg to remind you of tbe fact tbat by far the greater proportion of damages caused to the Turnpike Roads in this Township are caused by parties who do not live in the Township , but who pass through from Leeds to the different Colliers , & 6 ., in the adjacent Townships , which Collieries , as well as the parties who damage the Roads , do not contribute one farthing towards the payment of Highway Rates , in this Township , and consequently , if this clause be enacted , will be altogether exempted from paying any remuneration for tbe damages they cause on the Turnpike Roads

      situated in this township . Your Petitioners would therefore beg that yonr Honourable House would strike out the aforesaid clause , and allow the Turnpike Trustees to collect the Money for the Repairs of the Roads in the manner they have hitherto done , as they are Tally convinced that it is the strictest principle of justice for those who damage the Roads to contribute towards keeping them in repair ; and your Petitioners are convinced that Toll-Bars are the best means of carrying out that object . And your Petitioners will ever pray , &o . Signed on behalf of the Meeting , Chas . G . Maclea , Chairman .

      LIVERPOOL , Tuesday , April 4 . Cbown Side . —( Before tyr . Baron Parke . J Betty Eocles , aged 38 , was indioted for the wilful murder of William Eccles , at Bolton , on the 26 th of September last , by admistering to him a quantity of arsenic ! Mr . Armstrong and Mr . Brandt conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was defended by Dr . Brown , assigned as counsel . ; The prisoner was , it appeared , ihe wife of a person residing in Little Bolton , but who at the time of this occurrence was employed in a mill at Manchester , and in consequence iwas during the week

      away from home , returning to his family on the Saturday evening , and leaving them in time for his work on the Monday . The prisoner , previous to her marriage to her present husband , was a widow , aud had a family ofj several children , till of whom , however , were now dead . { The deceased was a step-8 OH , a child of about 1 $ years of age , and the other members of the family were a younger boy aud a little girl of about 10 years old , both siep-childn u . The deceased was employed in the mill of Messrs . Eden and Thwaites , at Boiton , at three shillings per week ; his brother was in the same employ at a aalary of nalf-a-erown per week . Thi 3 money they always paid over to their step-mother on the Saturday .

      On the 26 ih of September last , the deoeased went to his work at Messrs . Eden and Thwaites ' a as usual . He then seemed in his usual health . He left his work to go to dinner about half-past eleven o ' clock , being somewhat _ earlier than usual , he having some errands to discharge for his employers . About half-past twelve , his brother , Richard Eccles , met him as he was coming out of the hoase , apparently after having got his dinner . He then seemed as well as usual . Richard , on going into the House , found all the plates washed up , and put away , but he himself had his dinner off some potato bash , as it was called , from which the prisoner said she herself h&d dined . The deceased , it

      appeared , after leaving the hobse , had some further errands to attend to before ^ returning to Messrs . Eden and Thwaites ' s , and did not get back there until nearly two o ' clock . He ; then seemed very ill , was troubled with a continual retching , and complained of a dreadful pain in bis stomach . At three o ' clock , he was finally obliged to leave bis work , and go home . His mother ' s ! house was about a mile off . One of the witnesses , about four o ' clock , was in the direotion leading to his mother ' s house , and found him lying in a ditch in great agony . He asked what he was doing there , and the boy replied he was not able to get any further . The witness assisted him home , and about a quarter

      of a mile off the prisoner ' s [ house they mot her . Before anything had been said by either of them she remarked , " You've brought him home , have you ? " The witness replied , f Ye 3 ; get him home as soon as you cau , and get him some hot tea . " She replied , " Ay , I've some tea ready for him . " Tbe deceased , however , was ) not in the habit of going home to his tea , and there did not appear any reason why she should on that occasion have made any preparation for that purpose . Tne deceased continued very ill during that evening , but no medical assistance was sent for , and in the coarse of the afternoon he died . In the course of the next day one of the neighbours called in upon the

      prisoner , and inquired whether it was Richard Eccles who had died ? She said , " No , it was William . " The witness asked if she knew what was the cause of his death I She replied , " Inflammation . " It was then ) suggested that she should have the body opened , jfor fear it might be some infectious disease , bat she was very angry at the suggestion , and said she had trouble enough on her mind without having morel In the course of the Same day she went to the works of Messrs . Eden and Thwaites , to demand 50 s ., the usual allowance for the burial of persons of the age of the deoeased when in the employment of those gentlemen . It appeared that on the 10 th of tbe same montfl she

      had made a similar application on the occasion of the death of one of her own children , Alice Haslam , but it was then refused her , and it was explained that burial money was paid only on the occasion of the death of a child belonging to a person employed in the works , or of a child himself in the service of Messrs . Eden and Thwaites . On this second application the suspicions of the bookkeeper were exoited , especially as he himself had -seen the child apparently in perfect health the morning before , and she was put off with aa intimation that she must call again on the following day . On that day , however , a medical man was sent to examine the body . On opening it , he found the stomach in a highly inflamed

      state , with a white powder embedded in mucus adhering to its coats , and presenting such appearances as induced him to believe that the child had died in consequence of some irritant poison . The stomach , the duodenum , and the fluid they contained were banded over to Mr . Watson , chemist , by whom they were analysed , and who appfied all the various tests which science has suggested tor the purpose of detecting the presence of ) arsenic . All these showed that the poison was present in large quantities . He finally reduced the greater part of it to the metallic state , and it was apparent that at least from thirty-five to { forty grains of the mineral had been in the stomach and its contents .

      It appeared from the statement ! of Mary Eccles , the sister of the deceased , a young child of about ten years of age , that on that day William and her mother bad promised her a damson pudding for her dinner . The witness was at sehool ia the forenoon , and on her return home she dined off the potato hash , of which her step-mother said she herself had made her dinner already . She asked for the damson pud ding , aud the prisoner said ghejhaa not had time to make it , but wonld do so on the ; following day . To another party the prisoner stated tbat the deoeased had dined off a damson pudding on the day in question . It appeared also , from the statement of a carrier travelling between Bolton and Manchester ,

      and who was acquainted with the prisoner , that on the day after the death of William Eccles the prisoner called to him as ho was passing the door and told him to tell Henry , her husband , who was then at Manchester , that William was dead . She said she thought of burying him on the Friday . On the Thursday the witness saw her again , and brought a message back from the husband that there was no use in his coming before Friday . The prisoner then told him that the policemen had I come and searched the house , and two doctors had opened the bod y

      but it was all right , they found nothing . She said she wanted Henry home , as she had been far the club money of the deceased and they would not give it to he » . The prisoner was taken into custody on Thursday , the 2 Sth . To the coostable she stated the deceased had come home very ill on the Monday , and fthat she had sent for Dr . Mallett , but be was not at home . She said she had never had any poison ia her life , and had never bought any from Mr . Mosscrop , druggist , at Little Bolton . It was proved by the evidence of Mr . Barlow , assistant to Mr . Mosscrop , that the pri-
