      The Bermondsey Murder. T H E Following A...

      Mtowso to then requested to stand up on a cliau-, buthemg a great bi g , hulking fellow , he sat upon the side of the dock in a careless attitude , his feet resting upon the chair , and his hands ou his Imees . upon wh , clilaid his hat . He looked much better than on the last occasion when he was brought up He had on a kind of thick blue paletot , buttoned closel y up to the chin , and a pink silk tercluef round his neck , which was tied ma flash lasnion . It may , perhaps , be mentioned that his ^ jif ?? ^ together a repalsiro appearance , and that his neck is very short , and so thick that , looking at it from behind , it seems to project out almost as far as any part of the head . Mrs . Man-Sing was requested also to stand up on a chair , but < Iecuned , observing that it was too high , and she "Vras allowed to stand on the ground . She looked

      exceedingly well , and entered into an animated conversation , previousto the examination commencing , ¦ with Mr . KeeneandMr . Solomons , in the course of ' which , a continued smile played upon her countenance . When she was requested to lift up her veil , and show her countenance , she immediately eomjlied . The colour then seemed to leave her countenance , and it afterwards looked pale . Mr . Bodkin having briefly adverted to the horrid nature of the crime with which the prisoners were charged , stated that , in addition to the evidence taken before the coroner ' s inquisition , he was in a -condition to bring forward something of an important nature , which had not already transpired . He bad placed the legal advisers of the prisoners in possession of all the new facts which would be disposed to , and he had also afforded them every information Tfhich was necessary to conduct the defence .

      H . Barxes was the first witness examined by Mr . Bodkin . He said he was a police-officer in the K division , 256 . On the loth of August he went ¦ with another officer to 3 , Minver-place . Found the bouse empty . Obtained an entrance , and went to the back kitchen . Noticed a peculiarity—a damp mark—between two of the stones . He removed them and the earth . The first thing lie found was the toe of a man , about eight inches from the surface ; the body eighteen inches , lying on the face . The legs were tied behind the thighs . The body was buried in slack-lime . Mr . Lockwood , the doctor , who was called in , took a set of false teeth from the body . Soon after he was joined by Mr . Oddling , surgeon of the police office . Mr . Flynn saw the body before it was removed into tbe front latchen . An inquest had been held on the body , and 3 verdict of wilful murder found against the prisoners . On the day the body was found went to fhi * teiAvintra nf f ha « fanAn « ml m HAmmititi'VTilaw VHUV £

      WUW * V "^ 5 - " « . wvvvw . ww » , . . .. u . vuu . au . Q w . «« ww , Jfiie-cnd . James Burton , police-constable , corroborated his former evidence with respect to the inquiries after Mr . O ' Connor , and the finding : of the body in conjunction with the last witness . Some trunks , carpetbags , and linen were in the kitchen , and the stone Tinaer which the body was found was partially covered by them . —By "Mr . Binns : Had made a memorandum of his evidence before he gave it . He did so the day following the finding of the body . Be could not say where he did so , or who was present . Had a * good memory , nevertheless he could not recollect where he made the memorandum . It was , he believed , among his papers at home . — Hr . Binns said the witness should go and fetch it . —The Magistrate said , if his opinion was asked , it was unnecessary . —By Mr . Solomons : Did not find a broken shovel . Had not had any communication whatever with the other witnesses .

      Mr . LocKwoon , the surgeon referred to , spoke to being called in to 3 , Minver-place , on the finding of the body , and to the appearance which it exfii'uted , as already detailed in his former evidence . The head was fractured extensively , and the -scalp divided in several places . The wounds must hare been inflicted by a blunt instrument . Be and Mr . Doling made a post-mortem examination of the body . Either the wound with the bullet ( which he produced ) or the fractures were sufficient to cause death .

      Mr . Stow , the coroner s summoning officer , produced the teeth taken from the mouth of the deceased . Mr . Oddllvg was here called for , but not appearing , a delay of a few minutes took place , oaring which Mr . Edwin told the female prisoner , who was suffused with perspiration , to sit down . She at first expressed that she did not wish to do so , hut immediately after she sat down , and during the delay conversed with her professional adviser . —Not arriving in a quarter of an hour ( during "which time Manning remained perched on the edge Of the dock , and exhibited wonderful self-possesion ) , Mr . Walsh , was called , and deposed to calling at the house in Minver-place several times to inquire after the deceased , who had been

      missing some days . He knew him well . Last saw him at about twelve o ' clock on the night of Hie 8 : h of August . The deceased was very fiiendlj with the Mannings . —By Mr . Solomons : Oa tbe evening the witness accompanied O'Connor to the house he was sober . He fainted in the course of the evening , which appeared to arise from smoking , and from the drink be had taken during the day . He did not think there were any money transactions between the deceased and the Mannings . On the evening in question Mrs . Manning spoke about the receipt of some money by Mr . O'Connor , and asked him if he intended

      to proceed against some pei'son for the three weeks owing . Mr , Odduxc , surgeon to the Bcrmondsey police force , deposed to having seen the body of the deceased nn the 17 th ult . at 3 , Minver-place , shortly after it 1 km ? been excavated , and to having examined it . He then stated that he discovered no less than eighteen wounds on the head , and saw the ball extracted from the forehead , but could not trace tiie hole through which it had entered . The Mows ! . «_ said had been committed with great violence , and were sufficient to cause instantaneous death . There was a place at the beck of the head which hnj tho appearance of discharged gunpowder . —This witness was not cross-examined .

      Mr . ii . EATi . vG , Custom-house officer , in the Examiner ' s "tike , was next examined , and spoke to laving y-cn the deceased last on the Sth of August , on Lynd - abridge , at about a quarter to five o ' clock , when whness was accompanied by Mr . Graham , another Custom-house officer . He then repeated bis evil * nee with respect to O'Connor showing him a letter signed "Maria , " aud to his saying that he was going to dine wi'h her . O ' Connor was at the time w- 'ikingtothe Surrey side of the bridge . Witness had frequently seen the female prisoner in the company of O'Connor . On calling at 3 , JMinverplace , on the Sunday following the disappearance of the deceived , he saw Mrs . Shinning , and she admitted that she had been to O'Connor ' s lodgings on

      the Frid . y , J-ut said that she had gooe there for the purpose af ^ eing what had become of him , as she bad invited him 10 come to dinner on Thursday , and that her hush ind thought it very ungentlemanly of him that he did not make his appearance . She said her busbar l « d gone to church , and that he would not be home at six , as they were going out to tea . He noticed that she appeared slightly nervous at the time . —Cross-examined by Mr . Binns : I have , to the best of my belief , seen a letter besides the one shown to me on London-bridge , signed " Maria , " inviting Mr . O'Connor to dinner . The landlady of

      the deceased showed mc rne ; I won t swear that I saw the signature , but it was in the same handwriting . Tiie landlady said it had been received on the Wednesday . I have seen many of Mrs . Manning ' s letters —By Mr . Solomons : I have seen Mrs . Manuii .- - ! iu ihc company of O'Connor many times . 1 have a ' logrt'ier seen them together over five years , sometiti ^ walking together , and sometimes at the deceased's lod « iiins . 1 have seen her halfa-dozen times at his lodgings without her husband , and about three times in company with her husband . They a ^ i ^ a' -ed friendly together . I do not know of any transact ons between them .

      Mr . Wm . Fltxx , also an officer in the Customs , said the deceased was a relative of his , and that he bad known him for nine years . He was a second cousin . He was shown a body at 3 , Minver-place , on the 17 th of August , upon which , an . inquisition was holding at the time , and it was that of Patrick O'Connor . He had not the slightest doubt about it being the body of that person . The witness stated , when he called at Minver-place to ask for O'Connor , Mrs . Manning looked pale and rather flurried . —Crossexauiined by Mr . Binns : I knerf that the deceased had f'l se teeth , because I have seen him without fceni at bis lodgings , at his office , and at my own house . I saw him last two months before bis death . I observed >> y accident that he had false teeth . He did not tell me that he had them . I made so observation to him upon making the discovery .

      Axse AniffiS , Mr . O'Connor ' s landlady , was the next witness . On being asked if she knew Maaning , sb-j said she did not recollect'him . She used to visit Mr . O ' Connor frequently alone ; sometimes Manning came with her . Her sister usually opened the door . She was on friendly terms , and so was fiie pers -n who came with her , whom she understood to be her husband . She deposed to Mrs . Manning coming to the deceased' s lodgings and taking away the prop rty deposed to have been stolen . Mr . Bisxs said there was no evidence to show that the nule prisoner had ever called at the lodgings of the deceased . The identity was not made out . Mr . Biokix said he could prove it by the sister of the last witness .

      E « i 3 . y Armes was then sworn : She said she lived with her siner . She said she generally admitted the female prisoner . —Did M- \ Maiming ever come with her ? lie did . —Look round the court , and see if tou ca .. p int him out ? The witness ( pointiug to Minnins ) , 'fiiatia Mr . Manning . Mrs . Armes was here re-called . —She remembered Mrs . Manning and the person who passed as her husband dining with Mr . O'Connor , as she was in the habit of waiting at the table . About twelve months back she heard a conversation between them about borrowing money , and she also * heard a conversation on money matters . —Mr . Binns aud Mr- Solomons asked some questions , but the only 1 jbjng material was that Mr . O'Connor had told her

      The Bermondsey Murder. T H E Following A...

      not to let Mrs . Manning in any more . Had seen Mrs . Manning and Mr . O ' Connor in tho bed-room together . Did not know anything about whether tucy were intimate or not . On her oath she did not believe that they were on terms of the closest intimacy . Emu , y Ahmes was re-called . —Recollected Mrs . Manning being at her Bister ' s on the Friday before Mr . O'Connor ' s death . The cash-box was on the table . Mrs . Manning said she should like to buy some railway sltares . He said , "You had better buy so and so . " She could not recollect the name of the line . Recollected Mrs . Manning coming iu on the Thursday at the private door . Sho came again on the Friday . The time was a quarter to six . She noticed the clock , because she had to send the boy out at that time . She asked if Mr . 0 ' Connor was in . She said he was not . She went out

      through the shop at a quarter past seven , having bought some cakes . She looked pale and agitated . —By Mr . Solomons : Had known the female prisoner about a year aud a half , during which time she came frequently to Mr . O'Connor ' s lodgings . Mr . O'Connor was showing her some railway shares whilst they were talking on the day she mentioned . She was not hound to go through the shop , she might have gone out by the private door if she had thought proper . Mrs . Manning and Mr . O'Connor were on friendly terms . She had often taken tea with him alone . —Re-examined : Mrs . Manning told Mr . O'Connor that she wished to be instructed how to purchase some railway shares . —By the Magistrate : Knew Mrs . Manning went into the bed-room , because she used to push up the window

      and water the flowers . Mr . Wilmau : Massey , the medical student who lodged in Manning ' s house , was then called and sworn . He repeated his evidence as to the conversation with Manning , when he asked him what drug would produce stupefaction or partial intoxication , in order to induce a person to put bis hand to a promissory note for £ 500 , and also as t » other conversations both with the male and female prisoner . His ( witness ' s ) reply to the question whether laudanum or chloroform would produce stupefaction was , that he believed tho ° e drugs had been used for bad purposes . On another occasion Manning asked which was the most dangerous part of the head to hit ? and he replied , under the ear ; and also , when

      he was talking about Rush , whether he thought a murderer would go to heaven ? Manning observed , at the same time that he thought he would goto Madame Tassaua ' s and see the figure of that murderer . Another question was asked about the noise made by an air-gun . Witness thought that these questions were asked with the view of getting him to become a party to their acts . —Cross-examined by Mr . Binns : I wrote two or three letters to O'Connor , by the direction of the Mannings , inviting him to dinner . I do not know when the first letter was written ; the second , I think , was written in the middle of July . Mr . O'Connor came to Manning ' s house after the second or third letter was written . I cannot swear whether he was there three times

      but I think he was there three times , I don't believe I saw him after tbe last letter . "I went into the country on Monday , the 5 th of August , and I wrote the lest letter to O'Connor very nearly a fortnight before then . To the best of my recollection , it might be a week or more before the 5 th . I put my name to that letter . The male prisoner aud I were not on bad terms before I left London . There was some dispute about money ; he claimed £ 13 , and I found that he afterwards sent a bill into the country for £ 15 . —Re-examined : I once had a quarrel with him in tbe presence of some medical students about a bet . We left on tolerable terms . I lodged with the prisoners altogether nine or ten weeks .

      Mr . Coleman * , the owner of 3 , Minver-place , gave a repetition of his former evidence . At the conclusion of his examination , Mr . Bodkin said he understood it was tho intention of one of the legal advisers of the prisoners to apply for the postponement of their trial at the Old Bailey until the session after next . He ( Mr . Bodkin ) would be propared to state to-morrow ( Friday ) morning whether he could consent to the application on the part of the Crown . Mr . Solomons said his client ( Mrs . Manning ) desired him to state that she wished tho fullest and most ample inquiry into the matter concerning the death of the deceased , and he had no objection to the course proposed by Mr . Bodkin .

      It was understood that Mr . Binns coincided in the suggestion , and at a quarter past four the magistrate adjourned tho further hearing of the evidence until twelve o ' clock to-morrow ( Friday ) , when Mr . Bodkin will give a reply . The court was nearly cleared before the prisoners were removed from the dock . Manning did not once move from the position he first took on the side of the dock , and he only spoke once to his solicitor during the examination , to which he gave great attention . He looked pale , but appeared quite at h s ease . Mrs . Manning , on the contrary , several times turned round in the course of the evidence , and consulted with Mr . Solomons . Towards the close of the proceedings she looked very fatigued ., More than once she was noticed to turn slightly round and give a searching glance into her husband ' s face , but when he observed her he hung down his head .

      The report which appeared in the daily papers that Mrs . Manning said , on hearing that Manning when arrested at Jersey , had accused her of committing the crime by shooting Mr . O'Connor at the bottom of the staircase , she exclaimed , "The villain ; it was he that did it , not me ; " is contradicted in tbe daily papers . She has not yet said anything that tends to criminate herself . ( From our Third Edition of last week . )

      ARRIVAL OF MANNING IN LONDON . Frederick George Manning was brought over from Jersey on Friday in tbe South-Western Steam-packet Company ' s mail steamer the Despatch , Captain Childers , which ran into Southampton Docks , at ten minutes past seven o ' clock , having left St . Heller ' s at eight o clock that morning . An immense crowd of persons assembled in and round the docks in the course of the evening . At seven o ' clock the vessel entered the docks , and as soon as Langley , the police officer , was seen on deck , it was known thattheallegedmurdcrerwason board . Inspector Hayncs went immediately on board , followed by a largo number of persons , whom it was impossible to keep out of the ship . Manning was

      in a cabin , handcuffed and Strictly guarded by officers ; he was assisted out of the vessel , taken into the Custom-house , placed in a cab , and driven to the railway station . On leaving the ship between two officers , he affected to smile at the people who were looking on . He was followed to the terminus by a great multitude , who manifested nothing but an intense earnestness to see him . — The last train for the metropolis having left Southampton at six o ' clock , he was brought on to London by a special engine . Tbe special train arrived at Yauxhall station at ten o ' clock precisely , and a cab being in readiness , the prisoner was placed in it , and conveyed in custody of Inspector Hayncs and Sergeant Langley to tbe police station at Stone ' s-end , Borough .

      RE-EXAMINATION OF MRS . MANNING . SotTBWARK . Police Counr , Fripat . —Maria Manning was placed in the dock a few minutes after one o ' clock . Over her bonnet she wore a thick black veil , which effectually concealed her features , except when she had to raise it for the purpose of giving the witnesses an opportunity of identifying her . Then it could be perceived , though she bore herself with amazing coolness and self-possession , that her eye was bloodshot , and that her features bore the marks of bodily fatigue or mental suffering . She stood during the whole time the examination lasted , occasionally remarking upon the evidence to her solicitor , who occupied the place immediately beside her . Once during the proceedings Mr . Edwin asked her if she would take a glass of water . She thanked him , and declined . '' After the depositions were taken , and she was remanded , she' left tho

      dock as she had entered it , with a firm and confident step , and appeared by no means annoyed by the crowd who now , despite the endeavours of the police , pressed upon her to obtain a sight of her features , and impeded in some degree her egress from the court . The witnesses were William Kirk , a cab driver , who took the prisoner and . her luggage from Minver-place , first to the Brighton Railway station , and afterwards to the Birmingham Railway ; and W . Day , a railway porter , who both proved the identity of the prisoner ; William Dyne , clerk of the cloak room , joint railway station , London-bridge , could not with certainty identify Mrs . Manning , as the person who left the luggage with him . Mr . Richard Moxey superintendantofthe Edinburgh city police , then gave the particulars of the prisoner ' s arrest , after which she was remanded till Thursday next , at twelve o clock . "

      Marlborough - Street. Charge Op Cnvsitx ...

      MARLBOROUGH - STREET . Charge op CnvsiTX to A Dog . —Mi' . Henry Winder , a silk mercer , residing at No . 20 , Oxford-street , WAS charged with having wontonly ill-treated a dog . — Dr &> ha Bond stated that he was a physician , and resided at No . 15 , Grafton-street , Fitzroy-squarc . On the previous afternoon about half-past five , he was passing by the Boar and Castle , in Oxfordstreet , when his attention was attracted , to a crowd of person who were torturing a little dog by setting a larger animal to worry it . He went up to them , and by persuasion succeeded in getting the smaller dog away . The latter ran up tho street followed by the larger dog , and when near tho defendant ' s shop tried to run in for protection . Not succeeding , it

      ran round the corner and jumped up at ono of the windows , the glass of which was cracked . The defendant then came out of his shop with a long pole in his hand , and struck the dog in a most wanton and cruel manner . Witness remonstrated with him and begged him to desist from such cruelty . He , however , turned a deaf ear to his remonstrance , and taking up the dog by the skin of its back , threw it with great force into the road . The dog struck a man who was passing on tho chest , and having recovered its legs , again ran to defendent ' s shop , who struck the dog again with the pole , broke three of its legs , and almost knocked out one of its eyes . Complainant seeing the dog in great agony , begged of defendant to kill it outnirht . He said , in reply ,

      with an oath , " I shall do as I like . " Witness then at the earnest solicitations of several gentlemen who had witnessed the transaction , sent for a constable and gave him in charge . Witness added that he did not prefer the charge to gratify any vindictive feeling , but solely on the score of common humanity . —In corroboration of his evidence complainant called several witnesses , who proved that the defendent ' s conduct towards the dog was wanton and cruel in the extreme . —The accused , in defence , said he was in his shop on Tuesday afternoon , when ho saw the dog , which appeared to be in a rabid state , enter his shop . He immediately seized a pole used in lighting the gas , and drove the dog out . His wife , who was in the shop at the time , became

      much alarmed , and as she had only recently recovered from a severe nervous attack , he was afraid it would cause a relapse . The dog then ran round the corner into Perry ' s-place , and tried to jump through , tbe window . Not succeeding , the animal , which was foaming at the mouth , then came to the shop-door again , and ho being much alarmed for the safety of his household laid hold of the dog and threw it into the street . In doing so the dog bit him on the back of his right hand . The animal subsequently came back again , and in the agony of pain he certainly did strike it with the poll , in order to kill it outri ght . In support of this statement he called three gentlemen who had witnessed the whole transaction , all of whom stated that the

      dog had been tortured into a state of madness previous to its running into defendant's shop ; that the animal was foaming at the mouth , and betrayed every symptom of being in a rabid state , and that defendant had only acted as he had done to secure his and his famil y ' s safety , —Dr . Richardson , 30 , Bedford-square , said , after defendant had been to the station , he came to his house in a state of considerable excitement , and , opening his hand , said he had been bitten by a mad dog . On looking at his hand he found a punctured wound just as would bo caused by the bite of a dog , and as it appeared highly inflamed he at once cauterized it . Dr . Richardson added that he would not answer for tho consequences , neither would he have such a

      hand for £ 500 . —Mr . Hard wick said defendant was acting at the time he struck the dog under the most awful impression regarding the consequences arising from the bite of a dog which , from its having been previously cruelly tortured , might have been in a rabid state . Such a state of mind no doubt totally unnerved him , and under these circumstances he did not think defendant had wontonly and crually tortured or ill-treated the dog . He should , therefore , dismiss the case ; but he must say that the complainant and tho other gentlemen had acted perfectly right in bringing the case before him . Capture or an Escaped Buneuit , —John Veal , a noted burglar , who recently escaped from the Middlesex Hospital , where he had been confined in consequence of a serious accident which he sustained in attempting to escape from the police about a fortnight ago , was brought up in custody , having been re-taken by the police on Tuesday

      morning last . The prisoner was detected with a companion on tho top of some houses in Argytestreet . The prisoner made his way over the tops of the houses and into a house , from the first floor of which he leaped , and seriously injured the bones of one of his feet . His companion fell from tho reof of a house and was killed on tho spot . The prisoner , it appeared , contrived to elude the vigilance of the constable who had charge of him in the hospital , and secreted himself for several days with success . Felice Inspector Whall and police-sergeant Gray obtained a clue to his hiding-place in Corbet-place , Brick-lane ; and making their way into the house by the back premises , in order to avoid an attack from a large and ferocious bull-dog kept in the passage , they took tbe prisoner US he was lying in bed , playing a game of cards with one of his companions . —The prisoner was remanded till Saturday , and removed for the present to the infirmary . , ..

      SOUTHWARK . — "Two " 5 f a Trade never aqbee . "—Mr . Lewis , of New-street ; Kenningtoh , was brought before Mr . Seeker , charged with circulating a placard defaming the professional qualifications or Mr . Bonnet , an aurisfc , of Stamfordstreet , and also with threatening to assault him . — Tho complainant stated that he resides in Stamford-street , and that for some days past ho has heen subjected to much annoyance in consequence of a man having been stationed opposite his houso bearing on his shoulders a printed placard , designating him an impostor , and cautioning the public against him . That day he went into the street to expostulate with the man who carried the offensive placard , and was met bv the defendant , who applied

      language to him of the most insulting description , and threatened to break his legs , adding that ho had been for some time on the look-out for him to pay-him off . The placard referred to was produced iu court , and commenced in large letters "False Aurists—Caution to tho Public , " It went on to describe the complainant as an impostor and quack , and that he was in the habit of defrauding the public by pretended cures of deafness . The complainant added that in consequence of the threats held out by the defendant , he was apprehensive that he would do him some serious injury , if not restrained by the strong arm of the law . —Guest , summoning officer of this court , said that when he went to execute the warrant a crowd of persons had assembled

      m Stamford-street , attracted by the placard and the rencontre between the parties . He added , that he did not hear the threatening language used , but that he took possession of the placard . —The defendant denied that he had used tho threats attributed to him , and that his only motive was to caution the public against an impostor , who had no pretensions to the character of a skilful aurist . That the facts were , the complainant was in collusion with a set of scamps , some of whom had been tried and convicted at the Old Bailey for swindling and defrauding the public—Tho complainant retorted upon the defendant , and asserted that it was ho who was the impostor ; and a scene of recrimination took jilace , which was stopped by the Magis

      tvatc , who said that all that he had to do m the affair was to see that the peace was not broken between the parties ; and as the complainant feared the threatening language that had been used towards him , he should therefore call upon the defendant to find two sureties of £ 20 each , to keep the peace . CLE RKENWELL . —Inpecent Assault . —A respectable-looking middle-aged man , who gave his name George Harrison , but whose real name was subsequently discovered to be George William Dowling , was placed at tho bar , before Mr . Combe , charged by Mrs . Amelia Hodge , a respectable married young woman , residing with Jier husband at No . 2 , Victoria-place , Pcntonville , with having indecently and violently assaulted her . —The .

      prosecutrix deposed that her husband was ill and confined to his bed . On Sunday morning , about half-past one o clock , she had been with some of . her friends at Hoxton , and was returning home along the Cityroad , when the prisoner asked her tho way to Henry-street . She said ' she did not know . He followed her as far as the gates at the New Hirer , leading to Duncan-terrace , when he seized her by the wrists , and dragging her violently through the gates , he conducted himself towards her in a most violent and indecent manner . She called for assistance , when he called her a vile name , and she released herself from him . She was greatly terrified , and proceeded towards the Angel Tavern , Islington , where tho prisoner was given into the custody of

      Harris , 112 N , who took him to the station-house , where he refused to give his name and address , and he was locked up . —By the prisoner : I did not willingly walk with you ; you dragged me violently . You dared me to give you into custody . You exposed > ourself to me . —Harris , 112 N , confirmed the prosecutrix ' s evidence , and added other facts which ( eft no doubt as to the prisoner ' s disgraceful conduct , and he was confirmed by other officers who spoke as to his conduct when in the station-house . —Mr . Combe asked the prisoner what he had to say to tho charae?—Prisoner : I deny it altogether .

      She walked with me some distance , and wanted money of me . —Mr . Combe : Why did yon refuse to g iro your name and address at the station-house ? —Prisoner : I had my motive in doing so . I confess now that Harrison is not . my name , but I can satisfy you of my respectability ; and he handed to Mr . Combo some documents showing that ho was entitled to a yearly income . Ho hoped that by g iving a wrong name his case would bo prejudiced . —Mr . Combe inquired if the woman was respectable ?—Harris said that he had made inquiries , and ascertained that she was a highly-respectable married woman . —Mr . Combe : Can you send for any-

      bod y to speak as to your character ? The prisoner said he would decline doing so . —Mr . Combe : Then you ave committed to tho House of Correction as a ro < nie' and a vagabond , under tho Vagrant Act , for two months iritb hard labour . , _ ,.,, . CnAKGE of Robbert . —Margaret Batchelov , described in the police-sheet as a gentlewoman ( married ) , of Breckham-grecn , near Rcigate , Surrey , was charged by Mr , E . T . Jobbins , watchmaker , and also carrying on the business of a baker , at No . 15 Charles-street , Hatton-garden , with having robbed him extensively .-The prisoner was a woman of considerable property , and was hvm | with her husband on their freehold estate at Breckfiam-green . Sho was on the most intimate terms with the prosecutor ' s family , and not the slightest ; suspicion was ever entertained that sho ( defendant )

      would be guilty of p lundering them . At intervals during the last ten years past property had been missea from the till , & c , to the amount of several hundred pounds , and on some occasions , inconsequence of the losses of the prosecutor , he was unable to meet tho demands of the miller and malster . Suspicion at length fell on the prisoner ; and a quantity of marked money having been placed in the till , the greater portion was proved to have been abstracted by her . —Mr . Trotter , a gent leman related to the parties , said the prisoner was connected with parties of respectability . Her father held a situation of the greatest responsibility in the Court of King ' s Bench for many years , until he became superanuated , when he was pensioned ; and her brother was connected with the Common Pleas . —Mr . Combe remanded the prisoner for a week .

      GUILDHALL . —Intra Mmus Interments . —Two inhabitants residing in London-wall entered the court , and in tbe midst of the business addressed Sir Peter Laurie in an agitated manner , and wished minis interference to cause the removal of a coffin , which was understood to contain a cholera patient , in the churchyard of St . Alphage , in Philip-lane , London-wall . They stated that the coffin had been broug ht there and laid upon tho ground with the lid off , there being uo grave in the churchyard at the time , and it being understood that it had been removed to that place by order of tho coroner of London , merel y that it mi g ht be viewed by the gentlemen composing tho coroner ' s jury . One of the inhabitants said one of his children was now ill , and

      he did not know how it might aggravate the disease . —Sir Peter Laurie said the people ' s mind was fed by the newspapers with accounts of cholera , " He should order Roe , the officer of the court , to go and see the churchyard , and report as to the facts stated . —On the return of Roe he said that from tho 1 st and 2 nd floors of the houses close to the churchyard the coffin could be seen as described , but it could not from the pathway in the street , in consequence of there being a very high wall . The lid was off , and ho certainly thought that instead of exposing it in the churchyard it might hare been taken into the church , —Mr . M'Lellan , one of the churchwardens , said that application had been made to him to allow the body to be placed in the churchyard , but he

      positively refused ; but having occasion to go out on business he handed the keys and communicated his views to his brother churchwarden . During his absence the ward beadle repeated the application in such a way that the churchwarden felt bound to obey tho coroner , and gave up the keys . —Sir Peter Laurie asked why an inquest was being held on the body . —Mr . M'Lellan explained that in going round to inquire from house to house as to the health of the parish , ho found a woman was dead whoso sickness he had not heard anything of . Finding the shutters were not open as usual on Sunday some children had pulled them open , and seen the body . As it was known her husband was entitled to £ 16 from his club , tho neighbours were greatly excited ,

      suspecting the poor woman might have been mur dered . As this information was being given to him the man walked up the court with a nine in his mouth , as unconcerned as if nothing had happened . —Sir Peter Laurie then said he had no doubt this was a proper case for inquiry , and observed that with respect to these house to house visitations they did more harm than good , as they continually reminded the tenants of the pestilence that was going abroad ; and whatever trifling indisposition befel them , they were frightened that it might be the cholera . —Mr . M'Lellan said the inquisition was then assembled . The jury had viewed the body in the open yard , being afriad to enter the room where the death had occurred . —Sir Peter Laurie said he

      did not see that he could interfere with the coroner to any purpose as the inquest would soon be over and the body removed , but he should like the churchwarden to assure him that such was the fact as soon as the jury gave their verdict . —In about half-anhour afterwards Mr . M'Lellan returned to say that the jury had given a verdict of death by cholera , and that the body had been instantly removed to the Golden-lane burial-ground to remain until a grave could be dug . A Pleasant Relation . —John Blomer Weekes was charged with presenting a pistol , loaded with powder and ball at the complainant , with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm . There was also a second charge of sending threatening letters . —Mr .

      James Lovell , of No . 33 , BasinghftU-stireefc , clothlvorkor , said : The prisoner is related to me . He is a convicted felon , and has been wandering about tho country for a long time . He has threatened several times to keep up a system of annoyance unless I would give him a character . —Some letters of a threatening nature which . were written by the prisoner to the complainant having been read , Frederick Shipton , 114 , said , about half-past five ou the preceding afternoon , from information I received , I was about taking the prisoner into custody when he pulled out a pistol from his jacket pocket , and said , " Stand off for your life ; ' one stop , and

      I'll fire , " at the same time presenting the pistol at me . I rushed at him , and at about ono yard , or a yard and a half , he pulled the trigger , and the powder flashed in the pan and missed fire . I threw the prisoner down . —This evidence having been corro borated , by two witnesses who were present at the affair , Sir Peter Laurie said he would commit tho prisoner for sending tho threatening letters , and also for attempting to take the life of the policeman , —Mr . Lovcll : He presented a pistol at me on Friday last , and used threats . —The prisoner was then remanded for the purpose of having the depositions made out ,

      WORSHIP-STREET . —A Discreet an-d Faith ful Spouse . —A young man named John Murphy was charged with having stolen a gold watch and appendages of the value of twenty guineas , from the person of a well-dressed and rather good-looking young person of smart appearance named Mrs . Julia Whalley , who was stated to be the wife of a gentleman holding a situation under government . —The complainant who for obvious reasons gave portions of her evidence with great reluctance , stated that , as she was passing through Whitecliapel-road between three and four o clock on the preceding afternoon , she was accosted by tho prisoner , who engaged her in conversation , and , after walking by Her side for a short distance , proposed that she should allow him to introduce her to a female cousin

      of his , who resided in the neighbourhood . Feeling a good deal heated and exhausted from the exercise sho had taken , she was induced to accept the invitation , and accompanied tho prisoner to a house down an adjoining court , where they were admitted by a servant who ushered them into a room ou the first floor , and left them together . Sho remained there along with the prisoner for upwards of two hours , and on rising to leave at the expiration of that period sho discovered that her gold watch and chain , to which two costly seals were attached , and which was suspended from her neck at the time she entered the room , had disappeared . She immediately charged the prisoner with having been privy to the abstraction of the property , but he disclaimed

      all knowledge of it , and told her that if sho suspected him to be a thief she had bettor send for a policeman . On proceeding down stairs she communicated her loss to the landlady of the house , and the latter having also advised her to send for the police , she called in a constable who was passing and gave the prisoner into custody . —In answer to questions from tho magistrate , —The complainant said that she was porfectly sober at the time , but admitted that she had sent out for some wine , wbipli she paid for with a half sovereign , and having parr taken of a portion of it with the prisoner , she dozed off to sleep , and found that she had been robbed soon after she awoke . —Mr . Hurlstone , tho clerk : You say that you remained with him for two hours

      —did nothing ¦ further transpire during that time besides what you have stated ?—Witness : Really , Sir , you must excuse mo , I cannot possibly answer that question . —Mr . Hurlstone : Pray what is your husband ' —Witness : He holds a situation in the Customs . —Mr . Hurlstone * . Do you reside with him at present , and is he awaro that you are here today ?—Witness : Of course we reside together , but I must decline to answer your other question . — Police-constable II 134 , stated , that while passing a house of notorious character in Angel-alley , Whitechapeli between seven and eight o ' clock ou the preceding evening , tho complainant , who was standing at the door in a white satin dress and with her stays in her hand , called him in and pointed out the prisoner as having just robbed her of a watch and appendages . He immediately searched the prisoner ,

      and also the apartment m which the robbery was said to have been committed , hut without being able to discover the missing property . The complainant , however , insisted upon pressingthe charge , but stated on her way to the stationrhouse that she had herself taken the watch and chain from her neck , and placed them upon the table shortly before she missed them . —In answer to the charge ' the prisoner earnestly protested his innocence , and said that it was impossible he could have committed the robbery , as the property was not forthcoming , and he did not leave the place for a moment until he was given into custody .-Mr . Tyrwhitt said , that he did not feel himself justified in committina the prisoner upon tho unsuported testimony of the complainant ; and he should therefore order him to be discharged ; U \ , \ isue was not satisfied with his

      Marlborough - Street. Charge Op Cnvsitx ...

      decision , she' was at liberty to carry tho case to tho sessions . —Tho " complainant said that she was not actuated by any vindictive feelings against the accused , but felt satisfied that ho had taken her watch , and she considered that it was a most cruel robbery . —Mr . Hurlstone : You had better put your husband in possession of all the circumstances , and leave him to indict the prisoner if he thinks proper . —The complainant made no further observation , and the prisoner was discharged . LAMBETH . —Robbery in an Omnibus . —Eliza and Harriet Goodhall , sisters , were charged with robbing Miss Sarah Johnson , in a Brixton omnibus , of a purse containing one sovereign , one sm ] hng . and afournennvnieno-. —T h (> nrosecutrix stated that

      on the preceding evening sho got into a Brixton omnibus at Charing-cross , and was immediately followed b y both the prisoners , the youngest of whom sat close to her . From tbe movements of the girl her suspicions became excited , and at the corner of Bridge-street and Parliament-street she put her hand into her pocket and missed her purse , which contained the above amount , hut she did not say anything about her loss until she arrived at the police-station in the Brixton-road , when she told the conductor that she had been robbed . The vehicle was in consequence stopped , and the prisoners were taken into the station-house and carefully searched , but neither the purse nor the money was found upon them . The youngest having been

      recognised as an expert thief , both were locked up . —In reply to the questions of the magistrate , the prosecutrix said thatsoon after she missed her purse a man got out of tho omnibus , who she since suspected to be a confederate of the prisoners . The youngest prisoner was recognised as having been charged at this court with having plundered several females during the services at tho Catholic church , St . George ' s-nclds , on which occasion she had been sentenced to two months' imprisonment . Both tho prisoners stoutly denied the charge . —The Magistrate observed , that though there could be but little moral doubt of the prisoners' guilt , yet , as the evidence was not sufficiently strong to justify their detention , he should discharge theiu with a cautiou as to their future conduct .

      Chargk of Robbert . —William Myers , a cabdriver , who has been before in custody for felony , and Michael Murphy , a suspected character , were brought up on a charge of robbing Mr . Thomas Sateher , a master tailor residing at No . 70 , Unionstreet , Lambeth-walk , of fifty sovereigns . On the evening before , tho prosecutor reached Londonbridge from Deptfovd about half-past four o ' clock , and having had some drink , and being somewhat tired , he called one of Hansom ' s cabs , which was driven by the prisoner Myers , and desired him to drive to his residence , 70 , Union-street , Lambethwalk . As soon as he got into the vehicle the prisoner Murphy got in also , saying he was a friend of tho cabman , and was going with him . Witness had

      not been long in the cab when he feltm such a state as to be incapable of resistance , and in this state he must have been driven about a considerable time . When ho awoke he found his fob pocket lorn , and at tho same time observed a piece of wash leather iu the hand of Murphy , iu which he ( witness ) had fifty sovereigns tied up when he got into the cab . He chaged Murphy with robbing him , and that person give it to the other prisoner , through the roof of the cab . He ( witness ) then called to Myers to return his property , and told him that if he did not do so he should call the police , but he pretended not to hear him or understand what he

      meant , and drove off rapidly . Ho then called out " Police , " upon which he simply got hold of him to prevent his calling , and ultimately jumped out of the vehicle and fell . On getting up and looking about , he saw Murphy , and gave nim into custody ; but before doing so he knocked him ( witness ) down . The other prisoner , Myers , subsequently came to the station-house , and was also given into custody . —Police-constable 167 L deposed to having taken the prisoners into custod y , and his searching them carefully , but finding nothing . —Both the prisoners denied they had taken anything from the complainant , and were remanded to a future day , bail being refused .

      Impudent Attempt at Robbery by a Cabman . —On Wednesday , Edward "Wiliam Frcwin , a cab driver , wan finally examined before Mr . Elliott , and fully committed on the following charge of impudent robbery . —Mrs . Bridget Ryan , a married female , residing at No . 13 , Francis-street , Westminster * road , deposed that on Saturday night last , at about half-past eleven oVock , she was in the Wes ^ rainslerroad , and observed the prisoner and another man following her . Addressing the prisoner , she said , " "Xoussemta be watching me closely , " and at the moment he snatched a bundle containing a pair of trousers , coat , and other articles out of her hands . She instantly called out police , upon which a constable came up and secured the p-isoner , but hii

      companion ran away . Witness was quite sure i t was the prisoner who snatched away hr bundle , and had dropped it bef > re the polic-mnn came up . —Po ice * constable Ricbavd fouvle , 168 L , deposed that on the night in question the last witness had complained to him about the prisoner and his companion following her , upon which he told her togo on ( and he should follow , and he did so , and watched the prisoner and his companion . The moment the prosecutrix got up to them the prisoner and lm companion made a rush at her , and he ( the constable ) hastened to the spot , and secured the prisoner , but bis companion ran off directly- When witness got to the spot he observed the bundle on the ground , and saw that it was partly torn open . —Another

      constable , 187 , L , said he was called by the last witness to hid assistance , aud found the prisoner makine a great resistance . The prosecutrix charged him with having s ized her bundle , but he denied it—The case had been remanded to give the prisoner an o ;> p , iruinityof producing , as he said should , the most satisfactory testimony as to his character and respectability . The only witness he called , however , was a person named Richard Carter . — This person on his on th stated that ho was in the employment of the commissioners of inland revenue , and had known the prisoner for many years as a hishly respectable man , and that in fact he had fre quently been employed by Mm , Carter , to assist him

      in his duties . —Mr . Elliott , however , said the cose was one which must be decided by a jury , and committed the prisoner for trial . —Soon after the case had been disposed of , Mr . John Stowel ' , who holds a situation from the commissioners ol inland revenue , as ono of their officers , h appening to c . ill at the court , and having been nnde acquainted with the fact that Carter had represent' d himself to be in the emp ' oyment of the commi « ioners of inland revenue , he addres ed Mr . Elliott , and assured him that Carter had misled him by his representations . —Mr . Elliott admit'ed that be was somewhat imposed upon by Carter , and regretted Mr . Stowed had not been in c iUit when he was in the witness box .

      LATEST FOREIGN NEWS . GERMANY . Vibxna , Sept . 1 . —The latest news respecting Kossuth and the companions of his fli ght appears in letters of the 28 th ult . from Semlin , but wants official confirmation . According to these the destination of the fugitives was Constantinople . From Orsowa Kossuth went to Calafat , the rendezvous of the dispersed Magyars . The list of fugitives sent from Calafat , includes Bern , Demhinski , and sixteen Polish officers . Among the Magyars are Kossuth , Messaros , both Pcrczels , Czermin , Nyary , Karoly , Madaras , Guvon , and 12 deputies . There was a steamer at Galla ' tz placed at the disposal of the refugees , to convey them to Constantinople . In the meantime Omor Pasha , commander of the Turkish forces in Wallaebia , having hoard in Bucharest of the arrival of Kossuth and his

      friends at Calafat , contrived to have them brought to Widdin , where they now remain closely guarded . A Turkish commissioner , with Austrian consular functionaries , came and searched their baggage , among which , apparently , they expected to find the crown of St . Stephen , and other regal insignia of Hungary--The correspondent of tho Indcpendance Beige . dated tho 1 st inst ., writes from Vienna , ' ¦ that tho Emperor of Austria has granted a full pardon to Georgey , who will take up his temporary residence in Styria , to which province he is now proceeding Badex . —Tho prisoners hi Rastadt arc forced ° ' to work at the improvements in tho fortress . The general impression is , that in a short time it will bo garrisoned by Austrians . Meantime some 18 , 000 Prussians are still quartered on tbe inhabitants of Baden , a burthen which , if it long continues , will bring thousands of citizens to ruin .

      TURKEY . Constantinopie , Auqust 20 . —Seventy Hungarian so diers arrived here on the 15 th ult . , by the Peninsular and Oriental Company ' s steamer the Sultan . A heir passage to Turkey had been paid in England and they were each provided with a sufficient siun «> continue their journey to their native country They all looked very well , and wero cleanly and comfortably dressed . Count Andrassy , the Hungarian envoy here , found them quarters on shore , borne were lod ged in a large charitable institution a little way outside Peraand the others

      , weie placed in a kind of asylum belonging to the Sardinian legation . These poor fellows , whose story 19 well known in England , had no passports , and though the Turkish government was willing enough to permit them to return to Hungary , yot the ministers of the Porte hesitated to do so , lest such a proceeding should be objected to by Atussia and Austria . Through tho exertions and personal influence of Sir Stratford Canning , the lorte has consented to give teskeres , or passports , tor the fteo passage of these seventy Hungarians through the Ottoman dominions .
