which he took the money They asked him where Dale was to which he replied that be was asleep but all was right Mr Dowling who defended the prisoner took an objection that the indictment was wrongly drawn inasmuch as the nuts were sold not stolen the money he contended should have been stated to have been stolen This objection the Court overruled Eliza Wayt a blooming damsel who according to her own story did not return from the amusements until four in the morning stated that she saw the prisoner sell the nuts in question In reply to the cross-examination of Mr Dowling the young lady said 1

selling to a corn factor at Chelmsford about the same quantity of corn as was lo and which in the opinion of a man named French (Mr looker) corresponded with the Mr Hutton was prepared to prove that he grew the corn which he sold and that there was a very great difference in many respects between the two hut the hill was not found by the Grand Jury The case has excited considerable sensation at Margarelting and many respectable inhabitants were in attendance to give Mr Hutton an excellent character had it been necessary The business of the Court terminated about six on Wednesday evening THE MURDER AT WOOLWICH Since this tragic occurrence the town and neighbourhood have been in a state of great excitement The spot on which the atrocious deed was perpetrated is immediately in front of the small colonnade adjoining the Battalion-office in the Artillery barracks on the common The prisoner is no more than eighteen years of age nearly six feet in height with a meagre frame and a physiognomy by no means prepossessing Since the commission of this coldblooded and barbarous act he has been immured in one of the garrison cells for greater safety He has showed no lack of appetite but eaten and drunk heartily He has been heard to utter no expression of regret nor seen to exhibit any signs of fear His whole conduct and demeanour have been dogged and sullen in the extreme His unfortunate victim formed quite a contrast to the prisoner both in person and disposition In person he was noble and manly and his disposition was characterised by general humanity and benevolence He had served his country faithfully for upwards of thirty-five years in some of her hardest and most glorious campaigns and has now left a widow and seven young children to deplore hi3 melancholy end The men under his command express the greatest detestation and abhorrence of the foul act by which he met his death THE INQUEST Shortly before ten on Monday the prisoner was conveyed from the barrack-cells to the Royal Hospital under a military guard followed by a dense crowd who anxiously endeavoured to catch a glimpse of his person He was covered with a military cloak and did not shrink from the gaze of the multitude Shortly after ten Charles Cnrttar Esq the coroner for the western division of the county of Kent and a jury of eighteen of the inhabitants of Woolwich assembled at the Royal Ordnance Hospital Immediately on being sworn the coroner and jury proceeded to view the corpse The blood had copiously issued from the nose The breast was then uncovered and the hole from whence the bullet had issued was examined On turning the corpse to show where the ball had perforated the back the clothes were found saturated with blood which gushed out profusely when the clothes were disturbed It was a painful sight too painful to be endured and the jury started back and quitted the place directly When the jury again reached the inquest-room the prisoner was brought in and his handcuffs taken off Andrew Patton bombardier 5th battalion being sworn said I knew the deceased I saw him alive on the parade in front of the barrack on the common between nine and ten on Sunday morning last I saw the prisoner George Willis coming out from under the colonnade He advanced towards the Sergeant-Major three or four paces from the pavement and raising his musket to his shoulder took a steady and a deliberate aim at him and discharged his piece Deceased fell immediately The prisoner threw away his rifle and began very coolly to walk away I was standing about 12 yards from the prisoner and about 30 yards from the deceased Several hundreds of persons were on the parade The soldiers were ready for church and were expecting the order to On seeing the effect of the shot I instantly ran forward and seized him by the belt and said What made you do it Me replied I meant it some Sergeant Palson also rushed forward and seized hold of his arm Several persons gathered around I then took him The Adjourned Session for this county for the trial of risoners only commenced on Tuesday last before Esq Lord Rayleigh Luard Pattisson Esqrs and others The Grand Jury having been

of May I was on duty at two in the morning at Latchmere-bank in the parish of Great Hallingbury I heard a cart coming from the George towards me and it turned at the cross road to Stortford I went to the little cross road and waiting near cottage saw the cart going down the hill to Stortford with a man at the near side of the horses I believe it was Searle whom I had often seen before I went behind the cart to see it I could see the name which I found was smeared over with chalk so that it could not be read I then put my hand in the cart and found a sack containing peas 1 went towards the man and he went round the horse I said What have you got in the I insist on He made no answer but went behind the cart and whistled he ran up the hill whistling with his fingers a whistle believing he

returned and pelting me with stones one of which hit me on the chin and cut it through to the bone I also heard one of them snap a pistol which did not go I think it was Dunmo whom I had seen before I then ran away as I thought it was useless to contend against them and as I turned the corner about three rods off a pistol was fired my back being towards them I then jumped over the hedge and the men went by premises shortly after which the cart passed the other way by Mr Knox hen before the Magistrates I said I could not swear they were the men I swear it was a pistol because I saw it plain

that there was not a tittle of evidence to show that the prisoner was in the bed-room in the house or in fact in the neighbourhood on the day of the robbery 1 lie statement which the prisoner made at

after seven a fatal accident occurred on the premises of Messrs Truman Hanbury and Buxton the extensive brewers in Brick-lane Spitalfields The flooring of the storehouse on the south side of the brewery being out of repair a man in the employment of Mr Smith a mason and builder in the City-road named William Turner was engaged to put down some flagging in the parts so out of repair In this warehouse vats of immense size and capable of holding 150 barrels of beer each are ranged on each side resting on a metal girder or beam of immense depth and substance extending the length of the building and supported by strong pillars of the same material about six feet apart and about five feet in height At the hour before mentioned the unfortunate man Turner went under one of these vats for the purpose as it is supposed of taken from thence some of the flags which hail been placed there so as to be out of the way and at the instant the metal girder snapped in two and the ponderous vessel which with its contents must have weighed upwards of 20 tons fell upon his body and crushed it to pieces At this time a workman belonging to the premises stood opposite but fortunately at a sufficient distance to escape instant destruction not however far enough to escape serious injury A portion of the metal beam fell upon his right leg aud severely fractured it close to the knee An alarm was instantly given and Messrs Gowattd Davidson thegentlee men who have the principal management of the immens-- kfy concern were qnickly on the spot aud instantly gave direction to have the contents of the vat drawn off This was done as expeditely as possible but the quantity was so great (150 barrels) that before it could be effected and the enormous vessel itself tilted up upwards of an hour elapsed The body of Turner was taken from underneath when it presented a dreadful spectacle being literally crushed to pieces The mangled remains were placed on a blanket and removed on a shutter to the Marlborough Head public-house in the neighbourhood to await the inquest Cole was also removed on a stretcher to the London Hospital where every attention was paid to him and he wfts going on very well last evening The metal beam which gave way has been erected eight years and during the whole of that time with the exception perhaps of a few hours after it had been emptied had been sub ject to the same weight or pressure as on Tuesday morning and that it should have broken down at a moment when a human being was underneath it (a circumstance which very rarely happened) is as extraordinary as it is melancholy A large party of noblemen had viewed the brewery on the preceeding day (Monday) and were for sometime in the store-room where the fatal accident occurred Attempted Suicide On Sunday afternoon about four an interesting looking young girl named Mary Robertson the daughter of respectable parents residing in Swan-yard near Lambeth church took a boat at Lambfth stairs for the pretended purpose of crossing the water but when about half way across she suddenly started up and plunged into the river The waterman immediately seized hold of her and with much difficulty got her into his boat again On being brought on shore she was insensible but soon recovered and was carried home and was put to bed she is about sixteen years of age No reason has been assigned for her attempting to destroy herself Prevalence ok In the course of an inquest held on Monday before Mr Wakley a juror who said he was a teetotalist remarked that gin was the cause of half the sudden deaths that happened and that if tee-totalism was generally practised taxation would be diminished by one-half The I think intoxication likely to be the cause of one-half the inquests that are held Mr Bell (the clerk) said the proportion was three out of five The Coroner There are annually 1500 inquests in the western division of Middlesex and according to this ratio 900 are produced by hard drinking 1 am surprised that the legislature which is so particular about chemists and druggists vending poison is not equally so with the vendors of gin which appears to cause such a waste of human life Assassination of the Dauphin The Duke of Normandy who is stated to he the undoubted son of Louis Kith has so far recovered of his wound as to go out occasionally to the great disappointment of bis enemies who are said to ha among the most powerful in Europe Great is the mystery of the late attempt on the Duke's life As to the quickness of his recovery that is perhaps less extraordinary when it is known that (a favourite remedy with the Duke) is so efficacious in all external disorders Let no family take blame to itself for not possessing an unguent of such surpassing virtues

now Baron Dunfermline is descended from the ancient family of Abercromby of Birkenbog in the county of Banff The first of the family on record was Hutnphery de Abercrotnby who obtained a charter from Robert Bruce in 1315 Sir Alexander Abercromby of that ilk had a younger son Alexander who settled at Tullibody in Clackmannanshire and was father of Sir Ralph Abercromby who was killed at the battle of Alexandria in 1801 Barou Abercromby the eldest son inherited the title from his mother in 1821 and is married to a sister of the present Viscount Melville Lord Dunfermline is the third son of the hero of Aboukir and we believe is about 65 years of age Some of the names sound strangely in English ears and Tullibody and Birkenbog may fairly vie in that respect with what was considered at the time the most ridiculous English title Bootle Wilbraham of Skelmersdale Highbury College Highbury College lias obtained in addition to the services of the Rev Dr Henderson Theological Tutor those of
