thenew Court of Error , or of putting it on the record wtth the view of taking it to the House of . Lords . Mr . Bailaxiixe then formall y demurred to the raarse of proceeding adopted by the Attomevvsneral . The Attoiwet-Geseral joined in the demurrer . Air . Balushxe suggested that the statement of t&e woman that she was an alien would be sufficient , lue crown hadtreited thaease as if the woman was a foreigner ; but to place the matter beyond doubt and properl y before the Court , he had anaffidayit of the fact . The Atiohxey-Gexeral said he had come there in his official capacity to promote the administration of justice , and he did not wish to take any advantage of a mere teclmic . il point . He did not deny that the woman was formerly an alien . He should not , therefore , traverse the fact .
The completion of the necessary proceedings in regard to the demurrer having been postponed for a short time , the jnry was sworn . The female prisoner , who grew somewhat paler a 3 the time advanced , was accommodated with a
seat . The indictment having been again read by the Clerk of Arraigns , The AtiojiSet-Geseiui , rose to open the case . He said the great importance of this case , and the excitement in the public mind , had induced him to appear there to conduct the prosecution , with a view to elicit the truth . In a charge of this serious nature it was most important for the jury to dismiss from their minds everything which they had heard , and to confine their attention strictly to the evidence . He should abstain ; is much as possible from making any unnecessary observations . The prisoners at the bar were George Frederick . Manning , who came from Somersetshire , and who was latelv
a guard on the Great Western Railway , and Maria , his wife , who was formerly at the Duchess of Sutherland ' s , and was married to the male prisoner . The murdered man was formerly a guager in the docks . On Thursday the 9 th of August he left hi 3 Louse . About a quarter before 5 o ' clock in the afternoon , he was seen by two friends on Londonbridge , to whom he showed a letter of invitation to dinner , signed "Maria . " A little later he was again seen , and that was the last time he was seen alive . On the 13 th the prisoners left their house . On the 14 th the landlord found it unoccupied , and on the 17 th the police found the body of O'Connor on the premises . The learned counsel then described the manner and condition in which the body
¦ was found . The fact of the finding of the body in the house was not conclusive evidence of the guilt of either of the prisoners ; but there could be no doubt that O'Connor was , between the 9 th and the 14 th , murdered on the premises ; and it was no ¦ violent presumption to conclude that one or other , or both of the prisoners , committed the dreadful act . When the jury had heard the evidence , he believed they would be of opinion that the murder of O'Connor was the result of a long and deep laid scheme of the prisoners . As regarded tin legal qucs-ions , if , on the result , they should be of opinion that Maria Manning's -was the hand that struck the blow , and that the husband only aided and abetted , or that both were present while some
third party committed the murder , they must both be held to have been guilty . If either committed the act , and the other was present abetting , the verdict must be given against both . In cases of This description it was generally impossible to obtain anything but circumstautial evidence . In the 11 th and 12 th Vic , c . 40 , 1 st sec ., it was enacted that those who were accessories before the fact to murder should be indicted , treated , and puuished as principles ; and , therefore , it was immaterial which of the prisoners committed the deed . There is only one other legal proposition to which he would advert . In some cases the law exempted married women from consideration ; but this rule did not apply to cases which were
termed mala in ic , and which were abhorrent to nature . So that in this case the female prisoner could not successfully plead the fact of her being a married woman , or that she acted under coercion . It might be alleged that the woman was only an accessory after the fact . She was not so charged . Such a charge would not be sanctioned by this law , and the evidence in this case would not beavout that view . Xow the question arose , was the act done by both of the prisoners , or by either in the presence of the other . The nature of the intimacy between the Mannings and O'Connor tended to throw light on that question . The learned counsel hin entered into the origin of the intimacy . Soon alter the Mannings went to Minver-place a young gentleman named Massey , a medical studentwent
, to lodge with them . "Whilst he was staying with them Manning stated in his presence that O'Connor "was a man of considerable property ; questiened him with regard to the effect of laudanum in stupifying a man , and finally asked him wkat he thought would be the fate in another world of a man who had committed murder . Some time after , the prisoners expressed a desire that Massey should leave their house , alleging that they wanted to go into the country ; and , in consequence of this representation , he did leave on the ' 23 th of July . The learned counsel then described the purchasing of a bushel of liine and of a crow-bar , with regard to y rhi h Manning , on meeting the man who carried it home , complained of its not beiujr wrapped up .
Ihe crow-bar was delivered to Mrs . Manning , who complained that the price charged was more than had been bargained for . On tiuTSth of August Mrs . Manning bought the shovel , and , on the same day wrote a letter to O'Connor giving the invitation referred to . On the evening of the same day O'Connor called with a friend at Manning ' s , and Mrs . Manning expressed her surprise at his not haringcomctoduiHer . lie replied that he had not received the letter . 0 ' Connor remained therewith his friend until a lute hour . On the 9 th O'Connor went to the Docks , and after being seen in the evening of that day , was never after seen alive . On the evening of the 9 th , Thursday , Mrs . Manuingwciitto O'Connor ' s lodging ; and she went to them a second
time on the succeeding day . On the 11 th she hived a girl to clean . On the * 20 th Manning sold to a broker , twenty Eastern Counties shares in the name of O'Connor . The absence of O'Connor from his home creating suspicion , the same person who had List seen him alive called at Manning's , and inquired if he had called there on the 9 th . The reply was that he had not , and Mrs . Manning stated that she had been to his lodgings to ascertain why he had not come to her house to dine . On the following Monday Manning went to a broker by the name of llainbridge , to whom he sold his furniture , asking the man to remove it at five o ' clock the next morn ° ing . He stayed for some time at the broker ' s , and about five o ' clock went to his own house to look for
his wife . When he arrived he was told that his wife liad left . About an hour before Mrs . Manning had left in a cab , taking with her some boxes . She afterwards called at the South-E istcra station aud deposited with the clerk some boxes ; and she then proceeded to the Xorth-Western station . She proceeded to Edinburgh , and took lodsinsrs there under the name of Smith . The learned counsel then detailed the circumstances connected with the apprehension of the female prisoner , and the property found upon her . He then traced the departure of Manning from London on the 15 th , and stated his subsequent apprehension at Jcrsev . When apprehended
, Manning , who made no resistance , stated that his wife had committed the act , saving that as O'Ccmor was going down stairs she put her arm round his neck and shot him . There could le no question that O'Connor was murdered . The only question was whether it -was done by either or both of the prisoners . These various acts and circumstances were those from which the jury would have to draw their conclusion ; and he was sure they ¦ would do so calmly , patiently , and honestly , dismissing from their minds everything which they had previously heard , and applying them solely and impartially to the evidence which would be adduced .
The first witness called was Hexht Barxes ; he was examined by Mr . Clabksox . —I am a police constable . On the 17 th of August last , in consequence of information I received , I accompanied a man named Burton to a house in Minver-place , Bennondsey . The house was empty , but we got in , Burton had the key , and he unlocked the door and we went in . We examined the house , with the back Kitchen , and I observed a damp mark between the flagstones . Those two stones appeared to have been recently removed . I removed the stones and the earth , and when I got about an inch down I discovered the toe of a man . About eighteen inches lower down I found the loins of a man . The body was l ying with the face downwards , with the legs tied up to the haunches . The body was naked , and the legs tied np with a strong cor . 1 . I found also a quantity of slack lime . Whilst I was doing this Mr . Lockwood came , but I had removed enough to disclose the body . Mr Lockwood found a set of false teeth in the earth .
The head was downwards , but I did not examine it , and therefore I cannot say in what state it was . Mr . Lockwood was a surgeon . The body was removed , and afterwards examined by Mr . Lockwood and another surgeon . While the body was in the hole , Mr . Flinn came in , and had an opportunity of seeing the body . On the same day in the evening I ¦ went to Xo . 20 , Greenwood-street . I there found a box , which had been previously forced open . In that box there was another , a sort of cash-box , but iherc was no cash in it . There were some I 0 U ' s
in it . Mr . Flower went with me and saw it . Cross-examined by Mr . Sergeant Wilkins : The size of the flag-stones were about three feet long by two feet wide . The soil below was damp , I have , * siace the day I mentioned , examined the house carefully and made myself well acquainted with it . There is a garden at the back , and on entering the house by the front door the first room come to was the front parlour . The front kitchen was under the front parlour , and the back one under the back parjour I can't say whether or not persons could be heard waiting about in the next houses , because

there was a good deal of noise in the street . —Reexamined by the Attorney-General : A crow-bar and shovel were used to remove the stones . —Crossexamined by Mr . Ballantine : I could easily have removed the flag-stone . _ James Bubtov , a police-officer , examined by Mr . Bodrix— -I went with the last witness to the house in Minver-place , and opened the front door with the kev . I saw the opening made in the back kitchen . The " size of it was about five feet long and two broad , and between two and three deep .

Sergeant Wilkixs—I went first to the house on the Uth of August , accompanied by Mr . Keating and two other persons . On that occasion I found 23 pieces of clean linen there , and there were some trunks in the house . The shovel was found in the back parlour . " MM nil " ^^^^ ™^^^^
Mr . Samcel James Lockwood examined by Mr . Clark . —I am a surgeon , and I remember going to a house in Minver-place , in consequence of some information I had received , and finding the two last witnesses therein the bacfe kitchen . I found them opening a hole there , and saw in it the body of a man with the face downwards and the knees tied up to the haunches . Before it was removed I took out a set of false teeth from the mouth . The body was taken from the hole , and I then examined it . Mr . Howdley and another surgeon cut the cords . On examining the head I perceived a small
protuberance over the right eye . I further examined the head , aud found a bullet on the back which I now produce . I could not trace the progress of the bullet , in consequence of the wounded and decomposed state of the head . Sixteen pieces of bone had been removed from the head , which was covered with wounds that might have been produced by a blunt instrument , such as a crowbar or chisel . There was also a wound that might have resulted from a gun shot ; and those named , in his opinion , would be sufficient to account for death . A postmortem examination was made of the body . —The
witness was not cross-examined . Mr . Charles Slow examined by the Atiorxey-Gesehal—I am a summoning ofiicer of the Coroner's Court , and produce a set of teeth which I received from Mr . Lockwood . Mr . Lockwood identified the teeth as those he had taken from the head of the body . Wiiliam Tomux , a dentist , examined by the Attobney General—I knew Mr . O'Connor , and the set of false teeth now produced I remember having made for him .
rmcE Walsh , examined by Mr . Clabkson . — I knew the deceased . On the 17 th of August I went to a house in Minver-place , but could not get in . I went again on the following day , and then saw a body _ in the back kitchen . It was the body of Patrick O'Connor , of her Majesty ' s Customs . I had known him since April . On the Sth of August I saw O'Connor alive . I was with him at his lodgings and accompanied him that night to the Mannings , in Minver-place . Ic was about a quarter to ten when we went , and for some time we sat together with the Mannings . I remember on tlds occasion Mrs Manning saying to Mr . O'Connor , " Why did you not come to dinner to day ; we kept dinner waiting for an hour ; did you not get
my note ? He said , no , and she said " Perhaps it did not arrive before you left the docks , but you will get it to-morrow . " Mr . O ' Connor then said , " Mi . Walsh has got the balance of the bill to day , Pitt ' s bill . " Mrs . Manning asked him , " Will you proceed against him for the other three bills ? " and he said " I will . " O'Connor and Manning then began to smoke , and after doing so for some time O'Connor became faint and he sat upon the sofa , and Mrs . Manning went for some brandy and water , but he did not take any . We quitted the premises about a quarter past eleven , and I accompanied him home as far as Commercial-street . I never saw him again until I saw his body on the Sth of August . The Mannings were as friendly with
0 Connor as brothers . —Cross-examined by Mr . Baixaxiixe : Mrs . Manning bathed O'Connors temples with Eau de Cologne .- —By Mr . Wiuuss : Pitt is a grocer , or a broker , William Kbatisg examined by Mr .

He was going over Lmdon-bridge , towards the Surrey , side . Mr . Graham was with me , and we had some conversation together . 0 ' Connor showed me a letter . —Did you see the name to that letter ? Yes . —W : \ sitMaria ? Mr . Ballixtine objected to the question . No proof had been adduced that the letter had been lost , and secondary evidence ought not to betaken till that was done .
The Atiorsetl-Gexeral said the letter could not be found . The Covrt ruled that the question could not be put . Examinationcontbued . —Mr . O'Connor appeared in his usual health and spirits when I met him on the bridge . On the Sunday following I went to Mr . Manning ' s house in Minver-place , and saw Mrs . Manning . I asked her if O ' Connor dined thereon the previous Thursday ? She said , " No . " She added , " I saw him on the night before tbnt , anil he was unwell , and I went on the following night aoout seven o ' clock to inquire about him , but he was not at home . " I said , " It is very strange , for he was seen by two friends crossing London-bridge in the direction of your house on that day . " I asked to see Mr . Manning , but she said he was not in . She said it was unsrentlemanlv
of Mr . 0 Connor that he did not come to keep his appointment to dine with us on the Thursday . I said I would call the same evening to see Mr . Manning , as perhaps he might have seen Mr . 0 Connor , but she said they were going out to tea , and would not be at home . I do not know Mrs . Manning ' s handwriting . O'Connor was on very friendly terms with the Mannings . —Cross-examined by Mr . Ballaxtixe : Iknew Mrs . Mannin g before I saw Maiming . I have been to O'Connor ' s lodgings and seen Mrs .

On the Thursday before , at about a quarter before seven . I saw the
male prisoner sitting on the garden-wall , smoking his pipe . I entered into conversation with him , and after conversing with him for a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes , he jumped down , saying he had an appointment to keep that he had forgotten , and must go to dress . He went in upon that , and I saw nothing more of him that evening . I lett my house that evening about half-past seven and returned about eleven . I Jeft my husband at home . — Cross-examined by Mr .

been ill . " I then asked her if she had been to Mr . O'Connor ' s lodgings on the 9 th . She said , "Yes , " I then asked her what time she left her own house . She first said six o ' clock . I asked her if she was certain of the time , and she said it might have been a quarter past six . She said she met one ov two friends on her way there . The last remark when I was leaving was , " You gentlemen are very susceptible . " — Cross-examined by Mr . Sergeant Wilkiss : I knew where Mr . O'Connor kept his cash . It was in a cash-box which he kept in his trunk in his bedroom . —Aiiobxev-Geserai , : I beg pardon ; lhave some other questions to put . Dili you go to O'Connor ' s lodgings on the 13 th ?—Witness : Yes , I went there on the 13 th , and Walsh , Keating , and the officer . I broke open the trunk . ______
found the cash-lox open , but it had no money in it . It had nothing in it but memorandums . Ann Armes , examined by Mr . Clerk—I reside at 21 , Greenwood-street , Mile-end-road . I have a sister living with me , named Emily . O'Connor lodged with me for several years ; he occupied two rooms on the fil-st floor . I recollect Thursday morning , the 9 th of August . 0 ' Connor left my house on that day about half-past seven o ' clock in the morning , and I never saw him again . He never returned to my Inuse . I know the female prisoner . She was in the habit of coming to visit O'Connor , particularly in the last month before his death ; she came alone except two or three times , and then she was accompanied by Mr . Manning and Mr . Massey . At
a quarter past six on that day I saw Mrs . Manning go up stairs into Mr . O'Connor ' s room , where she remained till a quarter past seven . No one else went into the room while she was there . I saw her go out of the house . She went through the shop attached to the house , but on other occasions she had been in the habit of going through the private door . I saw her the next day , Friday . She came about the same time , a quarter to six o ' clock , and went upstairs into Mr . O'Connor ' s room , and remained there till near a quarter past seven . I saw her leave the house . She went through the shop and changed a half-crown , when I observed her hand trembled . On Monday , the 13 th , Mr . Flynn and others came to my house , and entering Mr . O'Connor ' s room , broke open his box , which was found on the top of the drawers , where it was usually kept . No one had been in the house since O'Connor left it but the female prisoner , and herself
and sister . I remember Mrs . Manning coming to my house on the Friday before the 9 th , and I tlien heard her say to O'Connor , " I want to purchase some railway shares . " O'Connor then had his cash-box open before him , together with some papers . —Cross-examined by Mr . Sergeant Wilkins : O'Connor always kept his keys on his own poison . Mr . Lockwood , recalled . —said that the wounds on the head might have been inflicted by the sharp end of such an instrument as the crowbar . —By the Court : Should say the body might have been in the hole a week , or littlemore . The exterior of the body was in a state of decomposition . In saying that the body had been undev ground fov a , -week he took into account the action of the lime by which it was surrounded . He formed this opinion from the appearance of the body , independent of any other circumstance . The lime must , have been absorbed through the fractures , and thus tend to the decomposition of the brain .
Mr . Cahili ,, shopman to Mr . La ^ ley , ironmonger , Tooley-street , said—I remember , on the 8 th of August , the female prisoner couing to the shop to purchase a shovel . I showed her one , and she said she wanted a strong shovel , and I recommended her a long wooden-handled and regular shovel . She said she would make a short shovel do , and I sold her one . I took it to her house . She gave me a direction , 3 , Minver-place , the name of Manning . When I went there I saw Mrs . Manning . I went about seven o ' clock in the evening , and she ordered it about there in the afternoon . ( A shovel was here produced by the officer . ) That is the shovel purchased at our shop . It is a dust shovel . —Cross-examined by Mr . Ballaniixe : The price of it is Is . 3 d . ; I did not ask more than that for it .
William Sow , policeman , produced the shovel . I received it from Mrs . Bainbridge , the wife of a broker in Bermondsoy-square . Barnes , policeman , recalled , and examined by Mr . Ballasiine . —I did not find any shovel in Minver-place . —By Mr . Wilkiss : I noticed that there was a marble chimney-piece in tho front parlour , which seemed to have been newly put up . Eliza Fikmijj , a little girl , aged 12 , living in Staple-street , said , I recollect the 10 th of August . I was opposite 3 , Minvor-place . I was selling matches and boot-laces . On the following Saturday I saw the female prisoner at the window . I said , " If you please , Ma ' am , do you want your steps cleaned ? " She said , " Can you come on
Monday . " I said " No Ma ' am , I cannot come on Monday , I must go out and sell my things . " She then asked how much I would charge , and I said 5 d . This was about half-past nine . I then went into the house , and cleaned up some portions . She asked me to clean the blinds , and I said I could not , my hands were bad , but I will clean your steps . She said she had cleansd the back kitchen ; but told me 1 might clean it again . She asked me to clean a basket which had sonic lime in it . I could not do it ,-and then Mrs . Manning tried to wash it , but as there was not enough water was obliged to stop . The male prisoner was there at the time . I saw him twice . I heard some words
the second time . He came up stairs to his wife , and stamped his feet on the ground in a passion , and said "he would have it . "—Cross-examined : They kept'nie till seven , and gare me sixpence . They were not angry with me . I took something away with me . I'll tell the truth , and that will go the furthest . ( Laughter . ) I can't toll everything . Laughter . ) I took an egg and a razor . I took the egg out of the larder " when their backs were turned . I took also a purse that came out of the drawer . I took also some stockings . They came out of the cupboard in the kitchen . There was no dress nor petticoat . I don't remember if there was a smelling-bottle . Mr . James Colemax , builder , and landlord of 3
Minver-nlace . —The Mannings wore yearly tenants . They gave me no warning when they left . I heard of their leaving on tho 11 th .

Bodkin There was some men ' s clotliing , a light zephyi coat a paletot .
Mrs . Baixbridoe , the wife of the former witness , said , that the dust shovel produced was among the articles brought from 3 , Minver-place . There were four female ' s dresses ; she noticed something remarkable about one of them—a morning wrapper , upon which there appeared to be marks of blood . It ooked as if it had been washed out , and dried in a hurry , and become mildewed . The capo was separated from the body . The prisoner Manning slept two nights at her house , and left on the Wednesday morning , ne took a carpet-bag and a trunk covered
with leather . He wont away in a cab , and said he was going sea-bathing . On the Monday night , about a quarter before six , she said to Manning , where ' s Mrs . Manning , and he said , I have sent her into the country . She asked him if he was going to sleep at his house that night ? Ho replied , No ; I would not sleep there for £ 20 . Some dresses were left as a present for me . —By Mr . Ballaniixe : I said I considered the marks on the dress were scorches arising from ironing or drying in a hurry . The marks of blood arc on the cape only .
Matilda Weldon , examined by Mr . Clark , said . —I was servant to Mr . Bainbridge , in the month of August last . I recollect Manning coming to our house on Monday , the 13 th of August .

CLERKENWELL .-Cuarge or Bape . —William Jarvis , a respectably dressed man , 69 years of age , holding the office of Inspector of Nuisances , &c , for the parish of St . Pancras , was placed at the bar , on Monday before Mr . Tyrwhitt , charged by Jane Williamson . Collins , a very prepossessing and evidently well educated girl , between eighteen and nineteen years of age , with a criminal assault . — The prosecutrix , who was much excited , said that her parents were in respectable business in the country . They had sent her to London , where she had been in the service of a Mr . Anderson , of Juddstveet , Brunswick-square , -whom she had served for upwards of twelve months , and left with a good
character . She was then living under the protection of Mrs . Kidner , her godmother , of No . 17 , Brunswick-grove , Camden-town . On Thursday morning last , between ten and eleven o ' clock , she was at lier godmother ' s house , when the prisoner came there , in order , as he said , to examine the sewers , which were out of repair . He inquired of witness whether she had a situation . She said she had not . He ultimately engaged her to supply the place of his housekeeper , whom he stated to be very ill in the hospital She went to the prisoner ' s house on the following evening ; and on the next morning he accused her of intending to plunder the house ( his apartments consisting of two rooms in
an unfinished house in Hamilton-street , Camdentown , ) and threatened to send for an officer . She became frightened , and prisoner forced her into liis bed-room and effected his purpose . The poor creature was affected to tears , and her modest demeanour , coupled with the artless manner in which she gave hey evidence , excited the sympathy and commiseration of everybody in court . She was closely and severely questioned , and she in no Wciy contradicted herself . She added , that she left the prisoner ' s place and proceeded to her godmother ' s house , and communicated all and everything that had taken place to her , and she ( the godmother ) called upon the prisoner , in Hamilton-street , and
on Saturday sho gave him into custody . —By Mr . Tyrwhitt : I pushed him from me . When he seized me I became insensible . The prisoner said , " You need not be afraid ; I'll not send a policeman after you . " I put on my bonnet to leave , and he asked me if I would call and see him on the following night . She swore positively that she never entertained the least idea or intention of robbing the prisoner , and that ifc was a false charge against her . When she left the house , all she had in her bag was her comb and brush and her nightgown . —Mr . Henry Parrell Davis , surgeon , of No . 14 , Clarendonsquare , gave evidence to prove that violence had been used towards the prosecutrix . and that the
crime had been effected . —Mr . Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for the production of further evidence . —Hebbard , 60 E , attended with a written character Of the prosecutrix , of a highly fiwouvable description , from Mrs . Anderson , of Judd-street . Ckauoe of Stealing . —John aud George Cooke , brothers , and George Sims , were charged by Mrs . Jane Ford , a- well-drossed young woman , residing at 4 , Ossulston-street , Somers-town , with having been concerned in stealing a pearl brooch , value 5 s ., her property . —It appeared from the evidence that on tho previous evening , about eight o ' clock , she went to a public-house near her residence for the purpose of purchasing her supper beer , when she
round the prisoners and some other persons regaling themselves and larking together before the bar . She was pushed about , when some ono seized her by the throat , whilst another hand grasped at the brooch which was pinned on her breast , and tore it away from her . The prisoners were the principal leaders in the affair , and they ran away . Two gentlemen who were present intofered for her protection , and prevented futher violence towards her . They pursued tho prisoners , and apprehended them , but the property was not found on either of them , Thoy were taken to the station-house and locked up till the morning . —Two witnesses were called by the pvosecutrixto give evidence , but on mounting the
witness-box the gentlemen were found to be quite drunk , clipped the Queen ' s English , and delivered themselves so thickly , that Mr . Tyrwhitt suggested the necessity of the postponement of the case until the witnesses became sober . —One of the witnesses said with a hiccup , " I was never more sober in my me . ( Laughter . ) His fellow witness exclaimed ; " Me drunk ! I ' m not drunk . I ' m able to give evidence I ' m per-fect-ly sober . " Mr . Tyrwhitt , how ever was of a different opinion , in which everybody in court was concerned . Ho ordered the prisoners to find bail for their further apperance to answer to the charge . BOW-STREET . —A Pleasant Evening Spoiled .
—A respectably attired middle aged woman was charged with being drunk , and annoying gentlemen m the Mall of St . James ' s Park . —Police-constable A , 187 , stated that last night he was on duty in the Mall , in plain clothes , when he observed the prisoner accost and aunoy several gentlemen , and requested her to go away , telling her that he was an officer ; but , instead of doing so , she commenced abusing him . She was drunk at the time , and he thought it right to take her into custody . —Mr . noni-y wished to know how it was that she was drunk in the Park ? She replied , that she was going home from a brother ' s in ^ ardour-street , Oxford-street , where she had been sDendiii < r the
evening rather pleasantly ; but , although she had been drinking , she was not in the least intoxicated . —1 lie policeman repeated that she was , while the aelendant reiterated that she was not , addui" her opinion that it was impossible that a respectable woman like herself could get drunk . —Mr . Henry ( lid not doubt that she was what she represented herself to be , but it is quite clear she was not quite sober , and it was therefore reasonable to believe that she had been guilty of the charge imputed to nor . Still , tho fact of her having been arrested was a sufficient punishment for the offence , and he should order her to be discharged . —The defendant complained bitterly of having been drastsed thvmn » h
the public streets as an offender against the laws , and accused the police constable of having unnecessanl y pulled her clothes about . —Mr . Henry thought that the drink she had taken must have had some effect upon her senses , and her own violence might have caused that . To some extent she ought to be thankful that sho was allowed to go away without a penalty , but he hoped the night ' s imprisonment sho had suffered would bo a warning to her to keep sober m future . She was then discharged . SOUTHWARD . - Attempted Robbery bt a PiffiSB-piaiiTBB . —George Bignell , a powerful-looking young follow , well known to the sporting world ^ II ^^ 'I ^ 0 ^ - before Mr .

While standing at the bar , the prisoner came in and claimed acquaintance with him , at the same time asking him to stand treat . Witness haviV been some years engaged at the public theatres " thought he might have known him , which induced urn to treat the prisoner . After remaininsr in tho
house about a quarter of an hour , he proceeded towards home , and at the corner of Union-street shook hands with the prisoner . The latter however , grasped his right hand tightly , and endeavoured to force avaluabloringoff his finger ; but he bent the latter to prevent him , when the prisoner tripped him up , and had not a polic eman come to his assistance , not only would his ring have been stolen , bu h , s little finger would have been broken -Mr .

Monkhouse ' s throat is healing , and his general health improving , but he is riot yet sufficiently recovered to appear at the police court . ( Signed ) J . Bowling , E . Hakford , surgeons , Hammersmith , Ootober 24 th , 1849 . " —The prisoner was then again remanded for another week , and was removed from tho bar by Miller , the gaoler , to the lock-up . —With tho certificate was hande d in another paper , on which was written as follows : — " There is an erroneous opinion prevailing in the neighbourhood of Hammersmith and Chiswick that Mr . Monkhouse # « w ' n . JtL «* u Ta « 1 iik V - ! _ . - -- — ^ . «» MJA , ] «•* Xltft ^ V * I I ^ **»¦*? t +
can , if he thinks proper , refuse to appear to prosecute his son ; but it should bo understood that in such cases the law is imperative , and will compel his attendance when he is sufficiently recovered . " — Mr . Paynter ' s attention having been drawn to the paper , the worthy magistrate observed that he did not think that any person of Mr . Monkhouso ' s education could entertain that opinion , as of course he must know that he eould be compelled to come as well as any other witness . He supposed it would not be necessary to issue any process against him . —After the prisoner was removed from the bar , his elder brother , Mr . John Monkhouse , applied for the advice of the magistrate as to how he could obtain possession of a
deed of assignment of his brother ' s share in some property , for the purpose of his defence , which the attorney , whom he had employed , refused to give up , unless he was first paid £ 50 . —Mr . Paynter said he thought that an exorbitant charge , The case was not one of circumstantial evidence , but a clear case , in which it would be only necessary to watch it . —A person who attended on the part of Mr . Skinner , the attorney employed , said that gentleman was ready to do it , but he first wished the expense of the deed of assignment to be paid . —Mr . J . Monkhouse , having had Mr . Paynter ' s permission , had an interview with his brother , and on his return into court said it was his brother ' s wish that tho assignment should be paid for , and he
wished to have the assignment handed over to him . Tho person who attended , however , declined to do so until the assignment was stamped ; and Mr . J . Monkhouse and he left the court together . MARLBOROUGH-STREET .-Tiie Bail of the Countess of Landsfelt ( Lola Montes . ) — The sumnions under the police act against the Messrs . Davies , solicitor , who had become bail for the appearance of tho Countess of Landsfelt , on a charge of bigamy , was brought on for hearing before Mr . Bingliam . Mr . Wray , the receiver for the crown , was in attendance _ to support the summons , which he had taken out in his public capacity to recover the amount of the bail , which , together , is £ 1000 . Mr . Davies , Jun ., was only present , for whom Mr .
Bodkin appeared professionally . Mr . Bodkin said —On a former occasion Mr . Clarkson , who had attended on behalf of the prosecution , had mentioned that it was his inte ntion to apply to estreat the bail m the ordinary way . In the present instance the novel course of proceeding under the police act was adopted , and , he believed , precluded his clients from taking the matter to the Quarter Session , where it could be argued before the Bench of Justices ; and it also took them by surprise . If the magistrate followed up his order by issuiri " a distress warrant against his clients ' goods , an action would be the only way to try the legality of the proceedings . Mr . Bingham pointed out the dOth clause in the Police Act to Mr . Bodkin , and remarked
that a power of appeal was given under that clause . Now , lie conceived the best course would be to appeal against his order , and then the defendants would have an opportunity of doing what they wished , namely to have tho matter argued at quarter sessions . Mr . Bodkin looked at the clause , and then said it had hitherto escaped his notice ! hut as it appeared to give a power of appeal ho should waive all technical objections , and , on an order being made , at once gave" notice of appeal . The defendants were then ordered pro forma to pay the amount of the bail , and due notice of appeal was given . MARYLEB 0 NE . — Juvenile Delinquency . — James Batterbeea boy fourteen of was
, years age , charged with having robbed his mother , a widow , living at Jfo . 10 , Warner-place , Marylebone , of 2 s . Id . in silver and copper . —The poor woman gave evidence , setting forth that she had been repeatedly robbed by the prisoner , and had done all in her power to reclaim him , but without effect . That morning she missed from her pocket the money which she had charged him with stealing , and a portion thereof was found upon him . —The prisoner , on being asked what he had to say , cried , and promised that he would be a better boy in future . The mother said she was quite sure that his word was not to be taken , and that unless he was punished for this offence , he would return homo and entirely ruin her b y carrying off all the little nronertvsho
possessed . —He was sent to hard labour in the house of correction for two monthr , MANSION-HOUSE . —Charge of Defrauding a Pawnbroker . —J . Garry was charged with having defrauded the shopman of a pawnbroker , upon what is called the " duffing rig . "_ Thc prosecutor , who is employed in the neighbourhood of Houndsditch stated that on the 26 th June the prisoner called at the shop , and brought with him a box containm " what appeared to be a ship chronometer . Ho said the article was made by Brockbank , of Cooper ' scourt , Cornhill , and that it had cost eighty or ninety guineas . In consequence of this representation U \ e prosecutor gave him £ 12 in advance upon the watch or chronometer . That Wednesday momin " the prisoner , no doubt encouraged by the success of thei tormer speculation , called againand produced
, a stolen watch , for winch he wanted an advance , ine prosecutor upon examining the article , found * ' « it was what was called amongst the trade a " duller , or watch got up for the purposes of deception . It was considered nccessarv to detain the prisoner and place him in tho custody of a policeman , and the prosecutor was the more stronglv induced to secure the fellow , as it had been found upon an accurate examination of tho chronometer , t , Til , , lghty-gvimca article was not one of Brockbank s making , and was worth no more than about ± 3 10 s . —The prisoner , upon being asked by Alderman Solomons after the usualcaution , whether ho wished to say anything , said I pledged the chronometer for a party whose name I gave at the time , ana I know nothing more of its merits . —The prisoner was remanded for further examination

CATTLE . Smithfield , October , 22 . —We were amin well snnnlio . J w , th foreign stock to-day , but its general q ^ L was in fcnor . From our various grazing districts the buU'ek droves fresh up for this morning ' s market were unusually large , even for the time of year ( the total supply be- iir up wards of 5 , 000 head ); but their general quality w " ~ superior to that of Monday last . The dead markets were largely supplied with each kind of meat ; owing to which and to many of the large butchers having large numbers of beasts on hand purchased here last week , the beef trade was dull in the extreme , and prices suffered a decline of quite 2 d per 81 bs . The highest figure for the best Scots was only 3 s 8 d pev 81 bs ., and a large number of beasts left thi >
market unsold . The number of sheep were decidedly less than those exhibited on tins day se ' nnight ; nevertheless they exceeded the wants of the buyers . The primest old Downs , however—the supply of which was small—moved off steadily at full prices , viz ., from 3 s lOd so 4 s per Slb = but all other breeds ruled heavy at a decline in the quo ! tations of quite 2 d per 81 bs . The primest calves were in moderate request at full prices . Second-rate qualities were extremely dull . We were scantily supplied with pigs , the sale for which vuled heavy , at barely stationary prices .
