House Of Lords-Monday^. 26 Ministerial C...
HOUSE OF _LORDS—Thubsdat , Jaji . 29 . THE CORN LAWS . T The Duke of _Ricauoso rose to present a number if pf pot : i _« us from different parts of the country , very iiui _ uir . er'iusiy signed by _Lrje nura . ! t _ rs " of teuantar . armors and labourers . The petitioners prayed their _tortordships not to make any alteration in the Corn -. aLsws . and many of Ihem also _complained of the _un-« . as . astit _=: tional acts of the League . He ( the Duke of ili « Rk _ uw _ d ) had liad many Opportunities of seeing a ariarge number of tenants and landed gentlemen since . hethe opening of the e-wnpreheusi . e scheme ( as itwas _salbal ' -d _) in another place —{ a laugh)—and he could _Dafoaiy say that that scheme was repudiated by every _. ndndividu-d that he had spoken to , and they repre-• _feiseuted thc opinions of the differeut parts of England . ffLTiiey viewed the measure with the _Wrongest indigua--iction , and they were all prepared not only to _raainttaiiala protection to theniselvey , but also to the domestic
_ nindus : ry of the country . Tliey expressed their dwcapappr _« b- _ tion of tue conduct of certain gentlemen in With- House of Commons , who were returned to _rar-Bidiaintnt _pledged to protection princip les , but who now _Eese-med wavering and doubting . The petitioners _ahifaousfct that these men were bouud to resign _tuetr se seats , and see whether thev would be re-elected , iie life-pod and _tru-tcd their lordships would give to the _tcocuuitrv au opnortuhity to judge whether tl . w system _-wwasrislitor-, vT-mr , and _tia-r-by torce the Mnastry tcto __ i > sdve the Parliament , and have tbe question di di-rassed at the _ ii _ m _ . es . ( Uear , bear . ) Lord _Kis- _VAinn _defended tbe _league . He thought : it it a _strans- doctrine thatthe uoble duke propounded , iai and one which savoured of Chartist doctrines , namely , 11 tliat the government should appeal to the country . lilt w . iii _ f almost amount to Annual Parliaments if sitae govcnnneut were to be compelled to appeal to iiihe country upon the introduction of every fresh
unmeasure . Earl Grey expressed his satisfaction at the pro-Fiposcd measure , but regretted that it had not gone _auurtlier . Lord _Asnnrnios agreed that a free trade , if it _Ci eould bc established , was consistent with common _isst-use , bat could not see how it was to be introduced inn a country like Eugland , burdened with debt , and iiin which so many complicated interests were at ** work . With respect to the conduct of thc Anti-C Corn Law League , though not illegal , it was fatal to f the constitution , and the Government would neglect t their duty if they permitted such a system to cont _tinue .
After some _Nervations from Lord Monteagle and i ihe Duke of Richmond , the matter dropped . The Earl ol Dalhocsie then brought forward the s subject of railway legislation , and proposed the ap-] p iiutment of a committee ofthe same nature as that : appointed in the lower house ou the motion of Sir _JRob-r _tlVel . After sosie discussion , in which Earl Grey and 1 Lords _Bro-jdiain , Kiuuaird , Monteagle , and Ash-1 burton took part , a numerous committee was api pointed , and their Lordships adjourned till Monday .
HOUSE OF _COMMONS-TurnsDAT , Jax . 2-. Sever . 1 petitions were presented iu favour of Lord . As _ icy - _ Ten Hours Bill . Mr . T . Dgxcombe presented a petition from the i inhabitants of the West Riding of Yerkshire , pray-3 ing the house to pass into a law thc Ten Hours' Bill . ' Thc hon . member also presented a petition from thc inhabitant- ? of Reading against any increase in ' the ' . Parliainenfeiiy grant for tbe services of the array ; and navy , and against the embodiment of thc militia .
. THE MILITIA . Sir James Graham said that , as his right hon . friend had given notice of his intention to move that the house at its rising do adjourn till Monday , in his absence he would move , therefore , that the house at i t * _rising do adjourn till Monday next . On the question being put from the Chair , Mr . Thomas Hcscombe rose to ask a question _respecting the embodiment of the militia . The country had been led to understand that au embodiment of the militia would take place on an early day , and great excitement and alarm in consequence prevailed
as to the manner in which , and time when , this raising of thc force would take place . Clubs were _fonnins to find _substitutes for iho-e who might be drawn , _sn I , in many instances , assochtions of persons were forming to protect psrtie- in offering passive resistance to the service . What he wanted to know was , whether au rariy embodiment of the militia was to take place , and whe : her it was to be made under the _prts-cnt law . or that a new one was to _i « introduced ? If a bill was tobe introduced , he hoped it would be done on an early day , and not when the session was advanced , so that the whole question might be fully considered .
Sir J . Graham said that it was thc intention of the ri ? ht hon . geutkman the Secretary at War , on the part of thc government , to introduce a bill for the embodiment of the militia on an early day , in which there would be considerable amendments on the present la w . Jlr . Bright conceived that the ri _ ht hon . bamnct the Secretary for the Home Department had not fully ie died - » the _question of the hon . member for Fin __ - bury . lie believed that the object of that question had lieen to learn whether it was intended to call out t _* _-ie militia this y « ar or nut . It might be _necessarv to havo a permanent law forthe eir . b _3
diment of the militia , but that was of sinall interest to the public at lanre , and he , therefore , _lagged to inquire whether the " miiitia ready was to bc called out this year ? Sir J . Graham said that he thought he had already answered the question . It was the privilege of her . Majesty to call out tbe _railiiia if the exigencies of the public service should make it necessary , under the _suggestion of her responsible MiuU-ters . It was intended to bring in a bill , aiid under the power of that bill , if war should arise , her Majesty would have the power of calling out thc mi'iti . _t alter a fortnight ' s _noiicc . But when the _bi'l . _houid be introduced his rh __ bt hon . friend tbe Secretary at War ( Mr . Sidney Herb-it ) would explain all its provisions fully to the
_hoase . "MARTYUDOM" OF CHARLES I . —DENUNCIATION * OF " THE TYRANT . " Mr . _lloss was opposed to the adjournment of the hou * e for the _reasin stated . He considered a _refoonc-d _H-nw- of C-. _'iniuoiis ought not to keep such a holiday j .-, the one named , aud fir which the house was asked to adjourn . He thought that it was a reproach t- tbose h » i _: otiraWe ni « ii who bad shed their Wood in order to retain the chartered liberties o * the countiy . They bnd sacrificed their lives in the defence of t : n « e _lilierties . and he thought that it

Sir Robert Peel said th = t he had endeavoured to put tbe matter in tbe _m-Hst _sulistantive fonn , and to express the rea-ous of ber Majesty ' s government . _ _N " ow he had exactly st-tted that the reasin of the _adj-iurnmeiit of tbe liuww was really b _** cans - there was not puMic business before , them for that day . and because it would conduce very much to tbe public t-on--venu-nc * .

House Of Lords-Monday^. 26 Ministerial C...
engagtd in manufactures _formad a , constant contradiction to all the predictions utter _« d by the antagonists of the Ten Hours' Bill when it was last _ui . d , 9 discussion . Thoir first prediction was , _«»* « u cotton trade would be destroyed by ay such limitation « he _prapos-d ; _^ J _^ _J" _^ that the wages of the pr » tected _j artm _^ would be _diminished ; their third was , that the wage , of their children would be reduced to a mere nothing * and their fourth was , tbat thc _children would te dismissed , and that . gnat physical suffering would be the result in their respective families . The history of the cotton trade during the la « t year was the best refutation of tho fiistnartof these predictions ; the fact that there were
now 30 , 000 children under thirteen years of . age workiug six nours and receiving imtruction three hours a day , when there were very few receiving education in 1833 , aud the report ofthe operative spimicn _themselves—who formerly opposed the enactment limiting the labour of children to half time —stating that tbe physical and moral condition of their children had lieen so much improved that they did not appear to be the same race of human beings , were the best refutation of the latter part of them . He implored the house to consider that the greater part of the children employed during the present long hours of labour were females . "Was there not something cruel and monstrous to take _vouhe eirls of 13 . the very day on which
they reached that age , and to demand from them the same extent of labour which was demanded from the most vigorous adult men ? ilow could they learn on their return bom * any of those domestic arts which were so necessary to the comforts ofthe labouring man when he returned jaded and weary to his humble cottage ? . There was evidence enough to prove , though he would not quote it , tbat the degraded condition of the female population was one ofthe chief causes of distress and crime in our manufacturing towns . He contrasted with the degraded condition ofthe female population in our manufacturing districts the great improvement wbich had taken place in the _intellcctiial , moral , and physical condition of the female
operatives at Lowell , in the United States , since the labour there had been limited to twelve hours a day . The fact was , that our women ware uusexed in , nature and habits by being abstracted from their domestic duties so long by their protracted industry in heated factories . Society suffered by it—individuals suffered by it ; andthe operative" population would suffer by it , until legislation gave them what M-dame ' Campan told Napoleon was the best gift he could give to France , " a generation of mothers . ** He impressed on the house the consideration that , it would be well both for the masters and the operatives to have this question finally settled . Nothing could be easier than to repeal his bill , if its effects
should prove prejudicial ; for the operatives would be thc first to cry out against them ; but if its effects were likely to prove beneficial , then they had a _l right to expect that the house would assent to their just and reasonable requests . He implored the house , therefore , not to throw out this measure ; for if they did , they would destroy all hope of secular improvement among the younger part of the manufacturing population ; they would aggravate the feud which so long existed between the house of want and the home of plenty ; they would render poverty discontented , wealth and property odious , and would impede the social , moral , aud religious improvement of all _classei of the communito .
Sir J . _Gjuniil said—He did not intend to offer any opposition to the introduction of the present bill . After complimenting Lord Ashley on tbe sacrifices , which he had made in this cause—sacrifices which were greater than fell to the lot of most men to make—he proceeded to contend that everything wliich had occurred in the manufacturing districts since the passing of the act of 1844 , instead of encouraging further legislation on this suhject , - showed tbat we , o _* aght not to disturb the existing arrangements . If it were true that higher wages had been gained by the operatives in consequence of a reduction in their hours of labour , he was glad to hear it ; but he thought that it was a reason for not interfering further by _legislation between the employer and the
employed . After pointing out tlie advantages which had been gained for the labouring manufacturing _populatiuit by Lord Ashley since 1833 , in the prohibition ofall infant labour wider a certain age , in the limitation of labour to six hours among children under thirteen years of age , in the prohibition of all night Iahour , aud in restricting the labour of all young persons between the ages of thirteen and eighteen to _twslre hours __ day , he proceeded to contend tbat any further interference by Parliament with manufacturing labour would be an interference with capital aud ma . chiuery , which would be highly dangerous in a commercial couutry like our own . It might be asked , why , if such were his opinions , he- allowed this bill to he introduced . His answer was , that on former _occasions Lord Ashley had endeavoured to engrnfihis opinions as _Amendments on measures proposed by the government , but that on the _present occasion he hadintroduced ,
on hi « own responsibility , a substantive measure , which it would be discourteous to reject without examination . He begged to remind the house , that this _question wa ? connected with the relaxation of the restrictions on our _vo-mnerci-l code and ou the supply of food , which had recently been submitted to the consideration of the house . He therefore thought that the decision of the house on his lordship ' s bill should be postponed until the _housv had conn to a decision on the proposition of government as to the laws affecting the importation of corn . So far a * he was personally concerned , nodecisionon those laws , be it favourable or _unfavourable to the government , could shake "his unalterable opinion' * iis fo the expediency of interference nith adult labour . Xo arguments which Lord Athley had used , or would use , were likely to obtain his support to tlie second reading of his bill ; nevertheless , t ' ur the reasons which he had stated , he would not object to its introduction .
Sir G . Stkickiasd was determined to gire hi- most cordial support to this bill . In reply to Sir J . Graham ' s observatiou on the necessity of postponing tha decision upon it in eonsequence of the proposition to alter the Corn Laws , he observed that he had always supported the repeal of those laws on the ground that it would give a stimulus to commerce , and would thus be productive of benefit to agriculture . If , then , it gave a stimulus to commerce , it would give increased employment to individuals engaged in manufactures ; and , if so , this was of all others the time for pressing the bill on the notice of Parliament .
Mr . Tk _. lawnt expressed hiE surprise that Lord Ashley , who would be the last man in the world to attack the rights of property generally , could have been induced to bring in a bill which attacked the poor man ' * property , by interfering with his labour , which was his property . This bill , by shortening the hours of labour , would reduce his wages , aud would Urns do him more harm than good . Lord Johk UiKSEiE trusted thatthe liouse would not be led by the arguments of the lust speaker to resist tho appeal of Lord _Anhloy to its justice and humanity . Nothing would conciliate tUe feelings of the operatives to tlieir _t- _« j < lov « rs more than tliis -Ul , vnd lie should , therefor ., give a most cordial and unhesitating support toil .
Iii-. HcM- insisted on the soundness of Jfr . Trelawnj ' _s argument , that no i & terference with labour c _. uld take place without interfering with the rights of property . Induttry aud capital ought to be left free . It was ridi . culous for tbe noble lord to compare the manufactories of Lowell with those at Manchester . The state of society iu the two _sountries was quite different . In America society was migratory , in England it was stationary . He recommended Lord Ashley to turn UU attention to ttie condition of the infant labouring population in the agricultural districts . It was in a much worse condition than the iufautile population of the manufacturing districts .
Mr . B . Escott _replied Lord Ashley ' s doctrine , that the decision of the majority ou the last occasion when this subject was discussed was not the decision of thv house , but that of the Ministry , both on behalf of the house aud of himself , as an independent membtr , w \ i „ had then voted against the bill , aud who should do so on the present occasion . Many persons in the country said tlmt it was not the Ministry which had reverted the deci-Munof the house on that occasion , but Lord Ashley him-? tlf , n ho had voluntarily given up his own measure , IU also hoped that Lord Ashley himself would quote hit blue-books accurately and fairly—a practice which hi * lordrhip was uot always in the habit of adopting . Mr . Colqobodn defended Lord Ashley . The claims ol humanity were in this instance in concurrence with thos , of siund policy , and demanded a moderate restriction o : tiie hours of labeur .
Mr . Roebuck said that tliis bill was an unjustifiable interference with the rights of properly . The prise of labour depended on the supply end the demand . No l « _gisbttive interference could raise or _dupreis wages except in this way . _Increasa thv demand for labour by _takingawaj fi _. _cal restrictions , and you raise the amount of wages . In-< -rearetberestrictionsonlabour , as this bill proposed , ana y « u inevitably _depressed the rate of its remuneration . He could himself play the same game as Lord Ashley . It wns a very easy game , _forit-nas the game of humanity ; aud you had only to accuse yourself of all tlie cardinal virtues under tbe sun . Lord Athley railed himself the friend oi the labourer ; but when his own pocket was touched brth * r « moval of _conwercial restrictions calculated to benefit the _labourer , he was among the first to cry out that the muuaicby w __« ruined -nd _^ tlie state on the point of dissolution . [ Mr . Roebuck concluded his speech amidst " _cliKtrt" from the " liberal" opposition _b-ncbeg !]
After a few words from Mr . _Wodxhocss in support , and from Mr . P . _Uowabd in opposition , to the measure , Mr . MrKTi expressed his opinion that Lord Ashley had not been fairly dealt with in thitdibate . The argument of rion . interfere . ice with labour was sound upoH the whole ; but there was an _sxception to it in the case of factories norked by steam . It was not just tliat a man should make his nwr-tiring steam-engine work as long as he pleased , that he should then compel his workmen , women , as well as children , to work at long as his steamengine , and that he should than _dscline to give them work if they refused such protracted labour . Another _rircunittance which would make him vote for the noble lord ' s bill was , thatthe labour of women and children wa * preferred to that of men , —the women were employed , while the men ware doing nothing . ( Cheers from the _Mi-let-rial beaches . ) These _wo-un and children were

employed fifty per cent , more than they ought to bs , and he should on this account vote for tho bill of the nobis lord . Mr . J . O'Coknju , declared hit intention to support tbe bill . Mr . 'Bbigut complimented Lord Ashley on the improved tone of his speech on this occasion , and thought that he _hadactsd wisely in not again dragging his cripples on to tha floor of the house . When Mr . Gardner , of Manchester , and hie manager , wh _» was an enthusiast in this cause , reduced his hours of work to . eleven , he increased the speed of his steam-engine , and other maohinery , and made up for lost time by taking some minutes from the breakfast-tune of his people . Mr . Gardner had likewise promised them that if his experiment succeeded he would _reduca ths time this winter to
ten hour . ; but he had not made that reduction , and his manager had recommended him not t _« make it . The noble lord did not , in his ( Mr ; Bright ' s ) opinion , know so much of the interior of mills as he ought . The noble lord once called at the Counting-house of the concern nith which he ( Mr . Bright ) was connected , and was iuvited by ene of his brothers to loek through the establishment . The noble lord declined to do bo . He should most certainly oppose this bill , ' but it would ha nith reluctance , because he knew that many of the operatires—but h « believed not a majority of themwere in its favour . He considered that the measures recently introduced by Sir K . Peel—which , he trusted , would be made more perfect before they passed the house—would do mora to promote the industry , the wages , and the social relations of the working classes , than all the philanthropic _legislation of the noble lord .
Ur . Fieldeu expressed hie great surprise at Mr . Bright ' s opposition to the present measure , as he recollected the time when that gentleman had himcelf petitioned for a Ten Hours Bill ; hut he supposed that he had repented of his humanity , owing to his hr . _vingbeen recently mixed up with other associations . This measure had been described as interfering with the rights of property in interfering with labour . Labour he agreed in regarding as property ; he held that it was as much entitled to be protected as accumulated property ; but , if labour was to be protected , the labourer must have not only the _opportunity , butthe ability to labour . It did not require anything _^ but the common experience of mankind to know that a child thirteen years of age was not capable of sustaining the fatigue of labour in a factory during a whole day . Let honourable members , imagine how
tliey would like auy of their children to be dragged out of bed at five o ' clock in the morning , not to return-home again from the factory until eight o ' clock in the evening . There-were nearly fifteen ¦ hours ; aud was that sort of slavery to be continued ! ( Hear , hear . ) Oa Monday week he had attended a meeting of his constituents , called by the chief constables . - One of _tijem occupied the chair ; and both of them , formerly _opponents of a ten-hours bill , came forward , expressing thoir approval of the principle of the measure now before the house . Why , then , should this house be behind others in expressing approbation ! There was no _fuar tbat trade would be injured by competition , if the hours of labour were shortened ; for every time they had been shortened hy legislative enactment trade , on the contrary , had increased .
Mr . Wak-h _. said he would put it to the hon . member for Bath ( Mr . Roebuek ) whether he had reason to pride himself ou the circumstance that his opinions upon tliis question remained unchanged ! That learned gentleman had obtained his knowledge of this subject in his study , surrounded by uot the most interesting books iu the world—th _« statutes at Urge , and the decisions of th _» courts of law . But where had the hon . gentleman who had just spoken obtained his knowledge of the subject ! ( Hear , hear . ) That hon . gentleman was one of the most experienced , wealthy , intelligent , and humane of men—( hear , hear )—a man universally beloved , who ever was the friend of the poor—a practical man , and not a theoretical man , who would run through granite after a principle , who would so adhere to a principle that he never
would go by any iiourse which reason might invite him to follow . He ( Mr . Wakley ) would _askhif hon . friend ( Mr . Roebuck ) whether infants in this country were to be sacrificed to his principle ? Why , th _« hon . member for Oldham ( Mr . Fielden ) used at his factory nearly one-huu , dredth part of the cotton imported into this country _, and his opinion on the subject had been fully stated . He ( Mr . Wakley ) trusted the right hon . gentleman the Secretary for the Home Department would not be insensible to that speech . The right hon . gentleman was stated to hare said that his opinions "ere unalterable . Did he uot think it rash , after what had passed within these few days , _tojsay so ! It was indeed rash and unphilesophical . It was proved tliat men could bend their minds In new directions , that there were men who would deviate from
the course tbey had long pursued when they saw that it was for the general good to do so . He gave the right fion . gentleman credit fur liis change of opinion ou th * Corn Laws . Nothing could be worse—nothing more _irrationil , than to charge men with dishonesty because they had changed their opinions . In liis view it was a disgusting accusation , and on eunfitted for a legislative assembly . He ( Ur . Wakley ) was an advocate for the repreientation of the working classes iu that house . He had always adrocated the widest extension of the suffrage . He would like to see representatives of tbat order sitting there . There were soma of them whose speeches would not disgrace the intellect of that assembly . Merc splendid speeches , indicative of natural eloquence , he had
never heard ; and he trusted the day would come when his wishes for the presence of representatives of the workiug classes iu that house . would be realised . Supposing the working people were adequately represented there , how many sessions would pats before s Ten Hours'Bill would be adopted ! It would pass in the very first . The hon . member for _Montroso ( Mr . Hume ) adhered to his principle , but knocked down his argument . He co _ ipletely tripped himself up . He said he would interfere _irith reference to mental education . Why , tho nokle lord wanted to go only a step further , and take into view the physical condition . As a medical man , he asserted that excessive labour prevented tbe development of full strength in youug childreu .
Mr . _Njwdega .- supported the bill . Mr . S . O-wfobd said he had taken aa opportunity of making himself acquainted with the _fen \ ing « of the operative class in the town which he represented [ llochdale , Quaker Bright ' s town !] when on a former occasion the noble lord had brought forward a similar measure _. Their opinions were in its favour , and he ( Mr . S . Crawford ) would gire the uoble lord his hearty support . Lord Asblet , in replying , complained that the hon . member for Durham should have left the house after haviug made a personal charge against him . The year before last , he ( Lotd Ashley ) was iu the _eouaty of Lancaster , staying with his hon . friend the member for Oldham ; while there , it occurred to him , that being within a _shert distance of Rojhdale , where the mill of iho hon .
member for . Durham was situated , he would go there ; but as Ue had gone over a great number of mills , and was perfectly _tonrersnut with their working , he did not think it important to add to his knowledge the working of a mill at Rochdale . Still he went there , hut simply and solely _that-he might e _ . ll at tlie counting-house , and see the hon . member , or leave his name . Why did he do this !• Because in that house the hon . _gentUmnnhad attacked him in a . manner wholly unjustifiable , and because the hon . gentleman _haviug retraeted what he said , he ( Lord Aehlej ) thought , being within fifteen miles of Rochdale , he should show he entertained
uo resentment against the hon . member , but wished to meet him on friendly terms , if he called on him . He saw the hon . gentleman ' s brother , and conversed with him for half or three quarters of an hour ; , he _nsked him if he _weuld go over the mill , but he declined , because he really was afraid thc hon . gentleman would say he came there and walked over the works that he might discover some fault or defect is . them . He thought the hon . gentleman had travelled out of the record , and gone far beyond what he was justified in _sajing , when lie charged him with being one-sided in his statements and views , merely because , when at Rochdale , he _declined to go over his mill .
The question was then put and carried , but with an emphatic " Ko" from Mr . Roebuck , which was followed by calls for a division ; _nene , however , took place , and leave was given to bring in the bill . Tha other orders of the day were then disposed of , and the house adjourned at half-past ten _e ' clock till Monday .

Richardson , on Royal Hill , was resumed before Mr . Carttar , the coroner , atthe _Morden Arms , Brand-street . The only witness called was Dr . Oak MitoheJ ) , the gentleman entrusted with the post mortem examination , and from his statement , it appeared that , in conjunction with Mr . llatch , the stomach had lieen subjected to various tests for poison . They had been unable to discover any appearance of lead , oxalid acid , or corrosive sublimate ; but with regard to the presence of arsenic , their tests had not been sufficiently satisfactory to enable him to speak with certainty . He therefore requested that another _•¦ entleman might be called up to make the test , and it was arranged _thnt Dr . Leeson , who has obtained considerable celebrity in that branch of the profession , should be selected . The inquiry was then further adjourned .

direction of the firing , and that he ( Bridger ) and Cadd waited at a place called Preston Comer , where ha thought it was likely the poachers would come .

Henry , and charged on suspicion with wilfully cutting the throat of Hannah , his wife , with intent to murder her . Mr . Games attended on behalf of the prisoner ; and the court was much crowded during tbe examination . The first witness called was the mother-in-law of the prisoner , who deposed that her daughter had been married to theprisoner about three years , and for nearly the whole of that time they had led an uncomfortable life , and the prisoner had frequently used her very ill . Oh the Friday morning the prisoner had quarrelled with his wife , knocked her down ,
and gave her a black eye ; and witness then heard him say , he " would do for her . " A little after eight on the Sunday morning , witness heard a loud scream of " murder , " or some such word , and on hastening from her own room ,, she found the prisoner standing at the bottom of the stairs perfectly naked , with his hands covered with blood , and also saw her daughter lying near the fire-place in tlte ' front parlour , with a wound on her throat , from which the blood was flowing freely . The witncBB asked " who did it ' . " and her daughter pointiug to the prisoner , said in a faint voice , " he did it , " and this was all she was able to say . Mr . Henry—Are you enabled to say which it was who first called out , the prisoner or your daughter ?—Witness : I ' m sure it was the prisoner—Mr . Henry : Did the
prisoner make any reply or observation when his wife pointed to him as you have stilted , and said "he did it !" —Witness : Not a word , sir , but whipped into the back parlour in which he and his wife slept . I requested of him , as lie was quite naked , to go and put his shirt on . My daughter at this time lies incurable , and I saw . a razor covered with blood lying open close to her . — Richard Vesey , the son of the last witness , and brotherin-law to the prisoner , gave similar testimony . —Mrs . Ann Cox , a married female , whe lived next door to the prisoner , deposed that at about eight o ' clock on the morning before , she heard a violent noise in the lower part of the prisoner ' s house , resembling that of two persons fightlgg or struggling . The struggle appeared for some time to be going on in the passage , but at length the parties reached the parlour ,. and she then heard a female voice exclaim ,.. . " Oh , you villain , youhavedone it at last . "
—Mr . Charles William Otway , a surgeon in Canterburyrow , Kennington , deposed that about eight o ' clock on the morning before , he was called on to attend the wife of the prisoner , and on going to the house , he found Mrs . Munton on the parlour floor , with the * prisonerby her side ; the latter bad one band on the wound in his wife ' s throat , and the other engaged in preventing Mrs , Munton from getting her hands to the wound . The wound at this time was not bleeding violently ,, and witness with assistance removed her into bed . He succeeded in dressing the wound , and remained with the patient until past ten o ' clock , before which time . sho was so far recevered as to be able to discern what was going on about her , though unable to articulate . At present she was labouring under a good deal of fever . A piece of paper wos here shown to the magistrate , on which the following had been . written by the wounded woman : — '
" I did it myself , through distress of mind . Pray , my dear Fred , take eare of my poor dear Arthur ; for your poor dear Ann ' s sake , will you be a father and a mother for ever t Do not charge my mother and brother with anything ; they are innocent , i Joanna Munton . " Mr . Otway , in continuation , said , that on reading over the paper aud finding that she had just mentioned the name ef her husband as being innocent of the offence as well as her mother and brother , asked her in the presence of two policemen whether it was her wish to add
anything to tbat effect ; she then took the paper , and after the words " anything" she interlined the words " nor my husband . "—Inspector Collier , of the P division said , that on being examined at the station-house the person of thc prisoner was found to be very much scratched all over . He also produced the prisoner ' s shirt , which was completely saturated with blood , particularly the sleeves , and also the night-cap , which had been seen at the time , and which was found in the fire-place of the next room , and this , too , was saturated with blood . The prisoner was remanded for a week .

The table in front of the magistrate was _literallffpacked witb silk , satin , shawls , and other articles , the produce ofthe peculation that had been committed on the complainant ' s stock .

On the day the search
warrant was executed , the prisoner contrived , while his employer was inthe house , to have a trunk containing an immense quantity of goods taken away and deposited for safety in the " Royal William" public house in the same street .

The Alleged Incest And Murder At Greenwi...
THE ALLEGED INCEST AND MURDER AT GREENWICH . On Friday , William Richardson , formerly assistant to the Astronomer Royal , at the Obserratory , Greenwichpark , and Ann Maria , his eldest daughter , were brought up on remand at the Greenwich police-court , and placed before Messrs . Jeremy and Grove , the sitting magistrates , charged with secreting the birth , and privately burying at night in the garden of the male prisoner , a child which his daughter , the female prisoner , had given birth to at a house in Southwark , and which child she had borne to the male prisoner , under circumstances most horribly revolting .
The first witness called was Elizabeth Reynolds , who deposed that shew a married woman , and resides at No . 3 , _Weston-plnce , St . Thomas's-street , Borough . Mr . Richardson and the female prisoner came to her house . Ue said he wanted a lodging for his daughter , and nurse to attend to her , as she was near her confinement . Tbis was on the l _. th of September last . He wished for a coia _^ - fortable and quiet place , and a bargain was entered into to pay 5 s . per week for a _siligle room , and Ss . more for attendance . He gave his card , and said hc would consult Mrs . Richardson , and call again . Mr , and Mrs . Richardson called two days afterwards , and engaged the apartments on the proposed terms . The female prisoner took _possession of the apartment , and was delivered on the 15 th of September last of a male child . The child died ten days after its birth . The child when born was strong
and healthy , and after the first week was seized with sudden illness . It was taken with violent screaming , and continued in that state all night . In the morning Mr , Wood , of _Union-strect , Southwark , surgeon , was sent for . He came at half-past twelve . He was present again at eleven on Friday night , and on Saturday morning , at four o ' clock , its mother called witness , and Said the infant was dead . Mr . Richardson and his wife came afterwards , and between three and four o ' clock in the afternoon they went away together . The infant was subsequently taken away at night by Mr . Richardson in a blue bag . Witness told Mr . Richardson that it was necessary to get a certificate and have the birth registered , as also its death . He said he had done so , and had given the child a name , but would take the body home , to save expense .
Richardson HBkedthe witness if she recollected what he said when she told hira of the child ' s death ; and she replied that" he would not have lost it for £ 50 . " Thomas Jones , labourer , deposed that Mr . Richardson employed him to dig a hole in his garden ; this was in last September , on Thursday or Friday . Thinks it was September . The prisoner said he was going to London . He said to witness , " Dig a hole in the corner of the gravel path . " He dug it three feet long and feur deep . He was to get it done against the prisoner returned , as he meant to have a bit of a drain to draw the water from the house . Witness dug the bole , and prisoner came home between five and six that evening , and said it would do very well . It was open three days , and on tha Monday following I filled in the giavel by his order . He said he
The Alleged Incest And Murder At Greenwi...
had altered his ml _ id , _-a __ d should hot have the drain , but did ' not say why some ofthe gravel had been filled in ; Stephen Varncy , bricklayor _. 'dcposcdthat he was employed by Richardson , on the 27 th of September . Witness w _> _'nt iu the evening , and asked'for Mr . Richardson . The daughter said that her mother and father were gone to London , and would return at nine o'clock . Witness waited , and Mri' Richardson returned _carryiag a coffin under his arm , wrapped in two silk handkerchiefs . The coffin was about two feet long . Prisoner said he was sorry he had kept him waiting so long . They went into thehouse and sat down together . Prisoner , who was very warm , said that he had walked all the way from London . During this he was putting the coffin under the sideboard ; He took a chair , paid the men , and then witness . He then said , "Call next morning . " , Witness took no verbal notice of tbe coffin . Witness saw no hole in the garden .
Amelia Richardson , aged fifteen , a very well-dressed girl , deposed that she lives with her mother and sisters in Friendly-place , New Town , Deptford . On fhe 27 th of September she lived with her father on _Eoyal-hill , Greenwich . She saw a man dig a hole [ thero in the garden . Witness held a light that night ; at her father ' s request , between eight and nine o ' clock . Witness knew what was going to be done . Hor sister Ann and her father went to the end of the garden together , and her father put the coffin into the hole , and put some gravel over it . She held the light . - Nothing was said at the time , Ko conversation about the child ' s death had been before her _. She asked what the hole was for , and herfather said " for
the baby . " Her sister was much affected ,, cried , and said , " 1 ' oor Httle thing , " alluding to the baby .: Her father has noted with grcac _^ violence towards her as well as her sister , when not obeying his harsh commands . Mr . Oak Mitchell said , he had made a postmortem examination of the body , and had , since that , tried various tests , one of which was with the view of finding arsenic , but it had been unsatisfactory , and had puzzled him . He had since consulted the coroner , who had determined to send the remains to London to undergo a strict examination by a most experienced practical chemist , in conjunction with Dr . Leeson , Forensic Lecturer at the London hospitals , and resident in Greenwich .
The prisoner said , in answer to the magistrate , that he wished fo give , seriatim , a statement of facts from first to lust concerning the charge . Mr . Jeremy said he was not bound to do so , but if he did , it would be taken down as evidence by the clerk . Prisoner ' s solicitor recommended him to refrain from doing so at present . The prisoner said , however it might affect bim in the cyeB of the world , he wished the humble truth to appear . He wished , at nil personal sacrifices , to go seriatim into every fact ; He never considered the : birth or death of the infant hadbeen . concealed . He merely wished that the body should not be thrown out of the churchyard . It could have been more secretly disposed of in London , He had no thought that the remains would havebeen die . turbed , at least in his lifetime . In June his daughter
was unwell . Dr . Sturton , of Nelson-street , Greenwich , attended her . He ( prisoner ) went into the country upon some business , in . Yorkshire , and on his return he found that symptoms of her being pregnant presented themselves . He stopped the medical treatment , in order that abortion should not ensue , His engaging a nurse and a doctor proved there was no intention en his part to make a secret of the birth or death . His wife and daughter both had attended in engaging the apartments , He then read several Utters ( torn his . wife , daughter , and son , showing' the affection that subsisted . in the family _, which proved nothing as to the alleged charges . He concluded by saying he deeply regretted and repented of all the circumstances , particularly of his own conduct . He had done everything to provide well for a large family , and tbis was the only event he had to deplore through life . ¦ _- _.-. ..
The female prisoner , on being _askedjf she wished to say anything to clear herself , saidshe was very sorry for what she had done ; hut it was her father who had compelled her to do so . Mr . Jeremy : To do what ! Prisoner : To give way to my father ,. Mr . Jeremy asked her what she went to West-place for ? ' Prisonor said that she wished to say no more ; she had no desire to prosecute her father now . He bad been guilty of similar conduct since , her return home . Her mother and sister did not know of his conduct . She had been at Mr , English ' s , a baker in Bllsset-street , once at midnight for protection , fearing that her father would violate her . That was in December , 1844 . She wished to say no more . She was not willing to submit to him tier father and mother quarrelled that night ; she was frightened . Her mother left home that night .
Amelia Richardson recalled . —Remembers her sister Ann going to the Greyhound Inn , Greenwich , one night since the child was born , to get a bed . Her father went too . They could not get one and returned . She heard her father call Ann . He said " Come here . " She said , " I am not coming . " He said that if she did not come she should not stop in the house another minute . She said " I don't want to come . " He said , " Then go out directlyget your things and leave . " She was partly undressed ; she went out , and father followed her : they returned soon . The prisoners were then remanded for a week _. The magis _trates refused bail for either of them .
