Greenwich , he saw the prisoners , who had been drinking sl i ghtly , talking to some prostitutes , and
making a treat disturbance , and , having ordered them on , continued his beat .

Information being g iven to the police they were traced to Arthur terrace , Stoke Xcwitigton , where the table and chair were found . At this place they had been carrying on a similar game , and from one tradesman had hired a piano rained at £ 23 . which the male
prisoner had sent to an auction room , and had it sold for not quite half its value . From the statement of thc police it would seem that they were about decamping from the last-mentioned " place when taken . —The jury then found the male prisoner " Guilty" and acquitted the women . —The Common Sergeant then sentenced the prisoner to two years ' imprisonment and hard labour , and said hc much regretted the conviction did not give hini the power io transport him . — Tbo women were then discharged , the Common Sergeant telling them to bc extremely careful they did not lend themselves to such practices again , for if they did and were convicted , ihey would run a good chance of transportation .

wile , who are both eldeny people , went on tlie 2 nd of July to tho Bank to take some money , after which they repaired to several public-houses , ' and got very _drni-k , aud the wife put the note . - ; and some money into her bosom ; and returning home at a late hour through Exmouth-strcet , Clerkenwell , they were hustled and thrown down , and on tlieir getting home , found they had been robbed . On the next day the prisoner was found changing the notes at a variety of places , stating that hehad a legacy left him . His capture was a somewhat singular one , for seeing a police constable reading a placard describing the missing notes , he went up and said he was the man that had bad them , but that he found them
The jury found him " Guilty , " and having been before convicted , he was transported for ten years . Cosvictiox for Maxslacghter . — Solomon Towers was arraigned on the coroner ' s inquisition for manslaughter . —Mr . Birnie prosecuted and Jlr . Ribton defended . —The evidence went to prove that the prisoner and the deceased man { Joseph Smythers Beauchamp ) were drinking at a public-house in Chelsea on the 13 th of July , when some words arising they had a fight , and that after that prisoner struck deceased a blow , which caused him to fall with his head against a post , causing injuries of which he expired on the 19 th of the same month . The jury found him " Guilty , " and he was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment and hard labour .
_Irauds ox Pawnbrokers . —Henry "Sorris , aged 17 , a whipmaker , George Alfred Jsorris , 20 , watchmaker , and Joseph Miller , 30 , a gold and silver po Usher , were indicted for conspiring to defraud divers of her Majesty ' s subjects by false and fraudulent representations . The prisoners who were decently attired men , pleaded "Not guilty . " The case , which lasted the whole day , excited the greatest interest amongst the pawnbroking trade—a great number of whom were present . —Mr . Clarkson , Mr . Parry , and Mr . O ' Brien , prosecuted ; and Mr . Prendergast and Mr . Wilde defended . —Mr .-Clarkson , in stating thc case to the jury , said he appeared for no less than five pawnbrokers and one refiner who had been sufferers on the present occasion , and who
were instrumental in getting up tbo present indictment . —William George Attenborough , of 204 , Fleetstreet , pawnbroker , stated that on the 2 nd August , at about half-past seven in the evening , thc prisoner Henry Norris , came into his shop and produced four salt cellars , which he gave to his shopman , who , after examining them , placed them in tbe plate scale , and having weighed them was about io advance £ 3 os . on tbem . Witness having some suspicion took the salt cellars in hand , and said what hare you here , and _JTorris said four silver salt cellars , and he wanted £ 3 os , on them . Witness asked him to whom they belonged , and he said to a lady named Xorris , livingat So . 14 , Portland-street , Oxford-street ; that thelady was an acquaintance of
his , and his name was Henry Stone , and he was a whip-maker , residing at _Xotting-bi }} . Witness asked him what he thought the things were worth , and he said that tbe lady had bought them and given £ 8 for them . Witness then asked him where the lady lived , and he having again stated , told him that he should goto her , when he became somewhat confused , and said , " Here , lend me £ 4 on these , " pulling out a gold watch and chain ; but finding that witness would not . let him have back the things said he would go out and fetch _hiselder brother , whieh witness objected to , and sending for a policeman , gave him into custody . The witness had since tested * the articles , and found them to be copper , electrc-platcd with white albata , or some such spurious metal ;
had they heen silver , that pattern would have made them worth about Gs . an ounce ; as they were they would not be worth a pawnbroker lending more than 8 s . or 9 s . on them all ; they were in every wav manufactured in a manner calculated to impose upon a person accustomed to see plate , tho bottom being indented with a mark somewhat resemblin <* _- thc HaU mark of ancient date , somewhat obliterated , - and they bore all the appearance of an ancient article of plate , thc four weighing about eleven ounces . The articles in question were handed in to the jury for inspection . They wero massive antique circulars , and formed a sajt cellar standing up on three short legs or fcet richl y chased and embossed , not very strongly electro-plated , and irilt
on thc inside , and in every way formed so as to deceive at a cursory glance . —Iu answer to the court , Mr . Attenborough said that the prisoner came in just between the lights , and before the shop was fully lighted . —Narborough , a police-constable , 3 G 9 , City police , proved tbe apprehension of the prisoner in Mr . _Attc-nborough ' s shop , and stated that , upon searching the prisoner lie found a duplicate on him for four similar saltcellars he had pledged a short time before at the shop of Messrs . Tomlinson and Dobie , in the Strand . _—It was then proved that only one person ofthe name of JCorris had lived in Portland-place , and hc had never seen anything of thc prisoner until he was in eustody , and knew nothing of him . —Mr . Tomlinson proved the _takiug
iu of thc goods in question , which he had advanced 5 s . ( 3 d . an ounce on , they weighing eleven ounces . The prisoner came to hint just as they were shutting up outside , and before tho gas was all lighted . He had pledged a brooch for 15 s . some few days before , and which he then redeemed ; it- was the imitation of the HaU mark that took witness off his guard , as he believed it to be true , and they never tested plate . —Daniel May , 857 City police , stated that he was on duty in plain clothes at Guildhall , when the prisoner , Henry Xorris , was under examination , and seeing his brother waiting outside , he went up nnd asked him if it was truethat he had sent his brother to pawn the things , and he said it was , upon which he took him into custody . He then made inquiries into the connexions of the prisoners , and on the loth of August , traced out the prisoner Miller , who lived
at No . 10 , Titchfield-strect . It was at a shop , one half of whicli was opened for the sale of cigars , and the other for articles of jewellery and plated goods , and Miller ' s name was on the door , as an eiectroplater . Upon Miller being denied , he forced his way up stairs , and there he found him at work in a room on the first floor ; all tlie implements for carrying on the process of electrotyping plate upon a wholesale scale were in the room . ' Witness asked him if he had ever sent the apprentice Jacobson to pawn any , and he said hc had , and that he had brought him home all thc money , but added that hc had only sent three sets to pawn , whilst a brother of Jacohson ' s had done all thc business . He did not deny his knowledge of the Xorrises , or that tho stamps were of liis make . — Thomas Yardley , a pawnbroker iu Tottenham-court-road . said that besides thc saltcellars he had taken in from
Jacobson , he had been duped by a set from George Xorris , upon which he had advanced £ 2 10 s . and in value they were not worth ten shillings . — Several other pawnbrokers were then examined , and their evidence went to establish the fact of their having been duped in a similar manner ; and it also appeared that when Jacobson was taken into custody it was because they thought he had stolen the goods he had offered in " pledge , and Miller ' s coming forward and establishing his right to them and taking them away prevented any further inquiry , or else thc fraud would have then been discovered , which was as far back as April last . Another transaction was then proved , in whieh Alfred Norris went
lo the shop of Air . Jen-it , the refiner , of Barbican , and after selling sonic old gold and silver , pushed throe of thc saltcellars on to the counter , and said , you will not give mc what I want for these , and asked Gs . an ounce on them , and Mr . Jerrit ' s shopman thinking them to be plate about thirty years old , and the hall mark deceiving him , at once bought them at that price . Some further evidence having been given , the jury , without any consultation , acquitted Miller , and " found the two other prisoners " Guilty- "— The foreman of the jury said they thought Miller had been guilty of fraud , but had not acted sufficiently in concert with the others for them to convict hini of conspiracy . — Judgment was then respited on thc other two prisoners .
Robbery at TnE Eastern Counties Railway . — Thomas Povey , 30 , labourer , was indicted for stealing a quantity of silk tabaret , valued at . £ 13 , thc property of the Eastern Counties Railway , and Samuel Jones , 40 , Jolieph Lucas , 43 , and James Thompson , 39 , the three last prisoners surrendering to take their trial , were indicted for feloniously receiving the property in qiieslion , knowing it to have been stolen . —Air . Ballantine and Mr . Cockerell conducted the prosecution ; Air . _JI'Afahon appearedfor Povey , and Alcssrs . Prendergast , Payne _, and Metcalfe defended the other prisoners . —It appeared in evidence that on the 2 nd of June a parcel of goods , among which was thc piece of tabaret in question , was despatched by thc Eastern Counties Warl
Railwav from Braintree , addressed to Messrs " - ter ami Co ., Wilson-street , Finsbury . The train arrived in due course at the Shorcditch station , on Sunday morning , the 3 rd of June , and it -was moved off the mainline , and remained thereuntil the following morning , when , upon the train being unloaded , itwas discovered that Alessrs . Warlter ' s parcel had been opened , and tho piece of tabaret stolen therefrom . Thc prisoner Povey was employed upon the railway , and therefore had an opportunity of taking tbe property , but there was no distinct evidence when or how it was removed . In consequence of inquiries , however , that were made by Inspector Shackell , who is now engaged in tho service of the company , the whole of the prisoners were apprehended , and by his exertions the
circtimstancesconnected with the robbery were discovered . —Sergeant Teakle deposed that on the 20 th of Juno he went along with Mr . Shackell to the shop of Alcssrs . Hampton and Russell , in Leicestcr- _' square , and inquired ofthe shopman what was the price of the piece of tabaret which ho saw in tho window . The shopman replied that it was 3 s . Od . per yard , and he added that it was " very cheap " at that price . He saw a g entleman in thc shop and informed hun that the tabaret had been stolen , and he tben inquired how they became possessed of it , and he w as informed that they had purchased it ofa person named Jones . Upon receiving this information he took the prisoner Jones into custody , and inquired of him if he had sold any tabaret lately in Leicester-square , and ho replied that he had , bnt said he had forgotten the price he received for it .
Tnr. Bombay Steaser Case —Mr. Ballantine...
He then told him that the article had been stolen , and asked hint where hc got it from , and hc referred him to Luc-is , whom hc accordingly took info custody , and upon his questioning hiin regarding thc stolen property ho said he had _^ t it from Thompson , the fourth prisoner , and on his being * taken mto custody , he said that Povey had brought thc article to his house to sell , and that , knowing nothing ofthe value of such things , he had applied to Lucas and Jones . Povey was then taken into custody , and on his being informed that ho was charged with stealing the tabaret , he admitted that he had taken it to Thompson to sell , but said that it had been given to him by a man named Bolton , who was also employed upon tho railwav . —Shackell
confirmed the evidence given by Teakle , and also produced a bill of parcels given by Messrs . Hampton and Co . to Jones , by which it appeared that they had given ls . 3 d . a yard for the article -wliich was valued by the manufacturer at 5 s . per yard . — George Bolton , the person referred to in the evidence of Teakle , deposed that there was no truth in the statement made by Povey , that he had given him the tabaret . —Afr . W . Hampton was next called . He deposed that he carried on the business of an upholsterer in Leicester-square , and that he purchased the article produced of the prisoner Jones . The number of yards appeared by the bill of parcels fo bc 3 S _* , but the actual quantity was 40 yards . — The Recorder asked why the exact quantity was
not stated . —Mr . Hampton replied that a portion of the tabaret was stained , and that was not included . —The Recorder inquired what price he gave for it . —Air . Hampton said ls . 3 d . per van ! . —The Recorder * . Then was it " very cheap" at 3 s . Od . f—The witness said hc was not in the wav when that price was asked . He should have sold it much cheaper . —The Recorder * . What was vour _priced-Witness : We did not agree to self it . —The Recorder : Then what did you put it in thc window fov ? —Witness : Wc put- all our goods in the window . — Air . Ballantine : And I suppose the shopmen have instructions to say that everything is cheap . ( A laugh . )—The Recorder : At the _ratclhis article was bought , this ought to he the cheapest house in
London . —Air . Hampton said he wouid not give a farthing more than hc did for such an article . —The Recorder : What did you give ?—Air . Hampton : I gave £ 2 Ss . —Mr . Ballantine : Sot quite £ 2 Ss . Did you not take off 2 s . for discount ?— Witness : We always take discount for cash . —Air . Ballantine : The manufacturer values the property at £ 13 . Pray , do you often buy things in this way Ah * . Hampton ?—Witness : if ot very often . I bought tliis of Jones because I had known him for two years , and was aware that be was in the habit of having "joblots . "—By Air . Payne : Jones asked me 2 s . 9 d . or 3 s . a yard for the tabaret in the first instance , and I told him to take it away , and he did so . We afterwards bad some furl her dealinn-
fruit , and he / agreed to take what 1 offered . —Tho Recorder here gave directions that on the allowance of expenses to the witnesses , Afr . Hampton should not be included . —Air . Ballantine remarked that his conduct had been most improper , and was well deserving thc censure cast upon it b y the court . — The Recorder said that , in this instance , there appeared to be very little distinction between thc case of Jones and that of tho witness Hampton . —Air . Hampton declared he had given the full value of the article —The Recorder said he had no business to have bought it at all , under the circumstances . — This being the case for the prosecution , Afr . Metcalf submitted that there was nothing to go to the jury against Lucas , for whom hc appeared _, --
The Recorder said that the case was certainly in a legal point of view very slight against the prisoner , and he at the same time observed that although a great- deal of pains had evidently been taken to get up the prosecution , he was rather surprised that all the intermediate parties should have been placed at the bar , and that the person who eventually purchased the property should be made a witness . — Air . Ballantine had no hesitation in saying that if lie had been consulted originally he should have advised a different course , and he should certainly have directed the indicting of the person in ' Leicestersquare , and should hare asked a jury fo say whether thc purchasing of property at such a totally inadequate price was not evidence of a guilty knowledge
on the part ofthe purchaser that the " article had heen stolen . —Air . Prendergast , Air . M'AInhon , and Air . Payne , then addressed the jury for their several clients . —The Recorder tben slimmed up , and the jury , after deliberating a short time in the box , expressed a wish to retire . Tbey were absent nearly an hour , and on their return into court they gave a verdict of " Guilty" against Povey , and acquitted all the other prisoners . The jury at the same time expressed their opinion that there had been a great want of prudence on the part ofthe witness Hampton in purchasing thc property . —Thc Recorder said he quite agreed in the opinion expressed by the jury , and it really was a fearful thing for thc
public that persons keeping shops and in if " respectable position should give such facilities for thc disposal of stolen property . —Air . Hampton begged to be allowed again to state that the article was damaged , and he considered he had given the full value for it when hc paid fifteenpencc a yard . — The Recorder ( with warmth ); Then why did you ask 3 s . 9 d . forthe same article , and represent it as very cheap ? The more you stir in the ' matter , iu the more unfavourable light your conduct appears . You will not have your exj enscs , and I recommend you to consider it good advice not to be connccte _** with such a transaction again , and bo more prudent in future . —Thc prisoner Povey was then sentenced to be transported for seven years .
The Satirist A _' bwsfaper . —Martin Hansell , who was convicted on Alonday of misdemeanour , in having attempted to extort money by undertaking not to publish libellous matter concerning a gentleman named Bevan , in thc Satirist newspaper , was brought up for judgment . It was intimated to f lie court , prior to sentence being pronounced , thatthe prisoner was in a dangerous state from consumption , and that a long confinement would in all probability prove fata ) . Tho Recorder , in passing sentence , said , that the defendant had been convicted of the offence of endeavouring to extort money , for refraining to publish scaiidalbus matter in the
newspaper of which he was the proprietor , ami upon a careful consideration of all the facts , hc felt hound to say , that ho entirely _iu-recd in tho verdict that had heen pronounced by tlie jury , He found upon inquiry , that the woman Alilis , who was included in the indictment with him , and who had no doubt been the instrument of putting him forward , had been sentenced to six months' imprisonment ; and taking into consideration his superior position in life , and his superiority in point of _education over that person , he did not see how it was possible to pass upon him a more lenient sentence than thc one she bad received . He then ordered the defendant
to be imprisoned for six months , and at the same time observed , that hehad no doubt hc would receive every medical attention whieh his condition required , and that thc Secretary of State would also interfere if the state of his health , resulting from confinement , should render such a step
necessary . RoncKRV .-- _Thoniss Langston , 3 D , a smith , John Low , 18 , and Charles Low , 22 , also smiths , were indicted for stealing a teapot , a spade , 120 keys , a quantity of iron , and articles of ironmongery , the property of Arthur Williams , their master . —Air . Clavkson prosecuted , and Air . Ribton and Mr . Cot-kit ? severally appeared for the prisoners . — Although thc prisoners were separately tried upon different indictments , the whole of the case arose out of one transaction , whicli was this . Thc prosecutor , an ironmonger , carrying on business at Hammersmith , in th * early part of theprcsent year took
the business , which is a very extensive one , ofa Air . _Wrhjht , a great number of whoso previous servants he continued in his employment , but in the middle of July , finding that he was being robbed , he gave information tothe police , when , upon searching the various places of residence in the occupation pf the prisoners , a quantity of his property was found , tlie possession of which they could not give any satisfactory account of . The jury found them " 6 ' uilty , " and having been strongly recommended to mercy , they were sentenced , Langston to four months * , and the two Lows to three mouths' imprisonment and hard labour .
......... _Fiucd . —Henry and _George Alfred Xorris , the two brothers who were on Alonday found guilty of defrauding a number of pawnbrokers , wore brought un and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment . This finished the _business of the session , and the court adjourned until Alonday , the 17 th of September .
A Tew Days Ago, A Mother And Daughter, N...
A tew days ago , a mother and daughter , named rrutzkenev , ' were executed nt Alavienwedcv , m Prussia , for the murder of their husband and father . In Febru ary , 1848 , at daybreak , four gendarmes on their way from Berlin saw thc two women knee ing as if in prayer at Calvary , near thc village of 1 ullich , with a large box between them , covered with a blanket . The officers , conceiving some suspicions , went to the women , and asked what they were about .

The two women were arrested , and after an _investigation had been commenced , they admitted that the deceased was the husband of one , and father of thc other of them ; and tbat they had
murdered him , the mother , to be enabled to marry a farm labourer , with whom she was in love , the daughter to escape from what she called a hateful tyrannr . This murder , they said , they effected when the man was drunk , by pouring boiling water into the ears and on the face , and by afterwards cutting and slashing the bodv .

On Tuesday , at nil inquest held beforo "Mr . Bedford , in the Millbank Prison , upon tho body of a convict who had died of fever . Tho foreman of the jury inquired if tliere were any symptoms of the mitigation of Asiatic _cJolt-ra in the prison ? Mr . Forstcr , clerk to thc prison , said he was fearful there was not . A convict was then dying , and one had been recently attacked with the disease while they had now in gaol only 307 malo ? , and 136 fenirties . At a recent inquest beforo Mr . Payne , it was stated that in his district there had not been a sin-rlo inquest in a prison on a person who had died of Asiatic cholera , and his district comprised the following establishments : — Newgate , Giltspurstrcct Compter , the Bridewell , Bridge-street , Blackfriars ( in the neig hbourhood of wliich so many deaths had taken place ) , Whitccross-strect Debtors ' Prisonand the Queen ' s Bench Prison .

In Salford there have been three fatal cases of cholera and two ol diarrhoea during the same period ; and in thc outtownship of Chorion there have been five fatal cases . Upon the whole , the disease docs not appear to have abated , nor yet has it increased to any _crent extent . " Bristol , Tuesday . —The disease _slill , fortunately , presents more favourable returns , the new _cases and deaths being fewer than they wore . Tho return for Bcdmiiister is equally favourable . The health of the entire parish is also stated to bc decidedly improved , and very satisfactory .
Cases of _Ciioikiu at me Central Criminal Court . —Two cases of this _prevailing epidemic , one of which has already terminated in the decease ofthe parly attacked , haveoccurred to persons while attending the court on business . The first was that of a respectable tradesman , who had attended the court for the purpose of speaking to the character of the prisoner charged with stealing , and receiving a quantity of bonnet shapes from a manufacturer at Hoxton , the report of which has _alteady _v-ppeavud . I * . seems , that as hc was standing at lhe top of the stabs leading lo the New Third _Courtj watting to he called upon hc complained of feeling pains in the stomach , and cramp , and very rapidly getting worse , aid was procured , and it bc ' _n-g ascertained that he was suffering from Asiatic cholera in its worst form , he was immediately placed in a cab and renmved to the hospital , where he expired in a few hours . The second ease recurred yesterday morning to one of the
doorkeepers ofthe New Court , who , whilst attending to his duties during thc sittings of the judge , was seized with all the premonitory symptoms in ( he most aggravated form . Iwmedintely upon being taken , he was removed below to the grand jury room , and medical assistance called , and everyihin _* , ' that skill could suggest was resorted to . but with little beneficial result , and from the violence of the attack , and from the fact if his being u somewhat eldely man , but very faint hopes was entertained of his recovery . During the whole of the session move than ordinary precautions have been taken to keep a current of pure air continually passing through the courts , whicli , coupled with other sanitary operations , had the desired effect of destroy ing all tlie nauseous miasma , which of necessity would arise where so many huuian beings—a greater portion of whom arc of the lowest class-were so crowded together , audit is in all probability owing to the excellent arrangements that more _casesUaye notarise *** ,,

_FonEiaxKUS in the America * , * Naw . —While many persons are asserting ( and not without * reason ) that American sailors aro moro than an equal match for an equal number of British , otliers are _si-mifica ii liy inquiring how large a proportion of really American born seamen can bo found either in our mercantile or military marine . The disproportion against us is very great , and it mav be _alavmiiu- _* . it is asserted that two-thirds of the navy is composed of foreigner . ' ' , and the merchant service , if "Now i ork is taken as the standard , shows thc proportion of forei gners to bo seven-tenths of the whole , made up of all nations aud tribes of tiie world , from British tars to African Kroomen aud Sandwich Islanders . Many oftho petty officers on beard our ships of war are also _foreigners . The

Beed , formerly chairman of tho naval committee , made n report to Congress , in which he stated that , after taking great pains to get at tho truth , he found _tli'it " out of 150 , 000 seamen sailing out . of tho United States at that time , only 0 , 000 were Americans , or a proportion of one in twelve .

The _Cousntutii-n w _* _is detained a long time at this port for

A nwro record instance is the ca . se of the Columbus , that went to sea with onlv 200 _Anierieaii-born , officers ami all .

_Cm'tun _Hi-xniciiso . v . —It is _^ wicrally luiown that Captain Heuriehson , the husband of the late Mrs . Henrichson , is in tlio employ of Messrs . James Aiken and . Son ; and at tho time of thc committal of the atrocious act whieh rendered iiim a widower , childless , and homeless , he was on a voyage , as master of the Duncan , to thc East Indies . " Many idle rumours aro afloat respecting him , and as lo thc probable time of his arrival here . Upon inquiry in a quarter from which thc information may be relied on , we learn that Captain Henrichson sailed from Calcutta on thc IStU of April last , and that his im ' vnl hero is not expected until the end of the present . month . Arrangements have been made , upon the Duncan entering the river , to communicate to Captain Henrichson that he must be prepared to expect , upon his arrival , to hear domestic news of a painfully distressing nature , not , however , stating any of the circumstances relative fo the late tragelly . With this object the Kev . Win . Pollock , of
whoso congregation , wo believe , Capt . UennciiSdii and his late lady were members * , wrote a letter , in which religious consolation suitable to the occasion was contained . Of this letter twelve copies wero made , which were given to as many pilots , to be handed , by whoever sliall board the Duncan , to Capt . Ilenriehsoii . From the captain of a vessel which arrived at this port thc other day , and who , on his way , put in at St . Helena , wc learn that the Liverpool papers had conveyed the whole of the particulars of the murder to " that island , and that the atrocities of it were the topic of general conversation . At the time this captain left there nothing had beon heard of thc Duncan ; but she will in nil likelihood call there , and there doubtlessly will Capt . Henrichson learn the sad tidings which so deeply affect himself . —Liverpool Journal , Tin-: _IIuxoaihans . —The census of 1 _*? 40 gave ;—llomaii Catholics , 0 , 897 , 500 ; United Greek Church , 019 _,-lDO ; Schismatic Greek Church , 1 , 302 , 100 ; Calvinists , 1 , 800 , 100 ; Lutherans , 858 , 300 .

V . e soon , however , bad other and more substantial causes of _i-i-mnlnhit
against her . Mutual jealousies reigned : groat quarrels , and even fi g hts , sometimes ensued ; and very often the house was in a complete uproar through the _u-iscw . uuct of tin * _himilurd and landlady . The town customers therefore _k--pt away , and travellers , _-ind others here often driven elsewhore . In Mrs . Manning ' s paroxysms of _joalousy , she has been known frequently to look up her husband ' s hats and shoes , nnd when his aged mother was confined to her bed a few hundred yards oil ' , by her last illness , she several times insisted upon his not visiting her , which unnatural conduct she persisted in to thc final moment of the old ladv ' s
existence . Things could not go on much worse between _Matmitig and his wife , when ou tho 'kd of August last year , a few days after , a brother of hi .- * , with whom ho had not been upon good terms , had wmo to visit him , biu * left Taunton by the mail train nt night , taking with her , as tho husband next day asserted , money , plate , aud other _valuaUk-- _* , _to ' ih _* .- extent of between -t _' oiiO and £ 400 . __ -She left at ten o ' clock at night , with liis permission , jo _p-reeed on a visic to her ' friends en tho Comment ; and on his return at twelve , he pretended to be _thnmienrtruciC at the dismantled slate ofhis bedvoom , i ' vion wivieh ho said sho had clandestinely taken sevcr _.-il large
trunks , a cash-box , Ac . The mode in which Manning now attempted matters with his em . _'it ' . i _* _.- _* , who became importunate on hearing of his io _* s , was tho subject of much uoisD . it that time . _Pttliicis it to say the whole transaction was excessively suspicions . j _-Tever was thero , perhaps , an _insiMnce which moro completely justified thc proposition that ; i man may bo guilty of robbing himself than this ; as the property , after all , by judicious _mtiRgcmenC on the part of the trustees to whom Manning was induced to assign his estate and _clf-ets iu trust for themselves nud thc other creditors , in tho usual way , after extyeinevchictuucc _, realised _tweiily shillings in the pound .
A word as to Manning ' s Jninenfablc introduction to his wife .
