EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE OF A JEWESS.
—————— |
On Tuesday morning and inquiry was held at the Laurel Tree Tavern, Brick-lane, Whitechapel, before Mr. Humphreys, the coroner for Middlesex, respecting the death of Anna Hyams, a Jewess, aged forty-eight years, who committed suicide on Sunday last under the following circumstances:—
Solomon Hyams said he lived at 31, Pelham-street, and is a basket salesman. Deceased was his wife. On Saturday last, about a quarter to four, she left him and did not say where she was going. He returned about ten minutes to six, and not finding her he made inquiries, but unsuccessfully, till half-past ten, when he returned home. When she left she was not sober. She was given to habits of intemperance, and was drunk two or three days previously. On his return he found his room-door fastened, but remained on the door- step until twelve o'clock, when he again tried the door, and finding it open he went into his room, and found the deceased hanging to the foot of the bed.
In answer to the Coroner, the witness said there was a back entrance to the room, and he had frequently returned home and found his wife out when both doors were locked. The deceased attempted to destroy herself by hanging eleven years ago, when a man named Jackson cut her down. Two of her family have also destroyed themselves a brother and sister. On the morning on which she committed suicide she told a friend that her husband must not sell certain clothes, as she had bought them for him to follow her to her grave, and on the previous Friday she told him she had bought twopennyworth of arsenic to destroy herself.
Wm. Thomas,
141 H¹, said on Saturday morning, the 20th, about half-past twelve, he was called to the house of the deceased, and saw her hanging by a handkerchief to the bedpost. He cut her down, but she was quite dead. The husband was half intoxicated at the time.
Mr. Profit Dukes, surgeon, 182, Brick-lane, gave evidence as to the deceased having died by strangulation.
The jury, after a long deliberation, returned a verdict that the deceased destroyed herself while in a state of temporary insanity. |

| CHARGE OF MURDER AGAINST A POLICEMAN.—The Manchester Guardian gives a full report of the case of Luke Charles, the policeman who is accused of murdering his wife, and which was resumed on Monday, and resulted in his committal for trial at Bury. The body found in the canal at Pendlebury in February last has been identified as the prisoner's wife, who was a farmer's daughter from the neighbourhood of Celbridge, named Dunne, and evidence was given to show that after the woman's disappearance Charles was in the habit of telling plausible stories in reply to the inquiries of her friends and others as to what had become of her. It would also appear that the prisoner, during his wife's lifetime, had proposed marriage to a young woman named Ford, of Emo, in the Queen's County ; that his offer had been accepted, and that he was only prevented from committing the offence of bigamy by the refusal of the Rev. Father O'Connell, parish priest of Portarlington, to perform the ceremony of marriage until he had satisfactory evidence that the prisoner was what he represented himself to be—an unmarried man.

| FATAL CRINOLINE ACCIDENT.—Mr. W. Carter held an inquest at St. Thomas's Hospital, on Monday night, on the body of Elizabeth Halliday, aged sixteen, who was a servant in the employ of a gentleman name Martins, in Camberwell-green. A few days since, while the deceased was lighting the kitchen fire, a large crinoline which she wore became ignited. The consequence was that she was frightfully burned on the neck, chest, and legs, and died upon removal to the hospital. The coroner, in summing up the facts of the case, remarked upon the absurdity and danger of servant girls wearing crinoline. The jury, who concurred in his observations, returned a verdict of “Accidental death.” |

The profession paid a high compliment to Dr. Mackesy when it elected him President of the Royal College of Surgeons, a distinction which had previously been soley confined to those resident in the metropolis. He was the first country practitioner elected to this high poisition, its dignity being fully maintained by him ; and it will descend with a higher lustre to his successor, as the profession mean to show their appreciation of his services.—Waterford News.

SCENE IN AN ENGLISH COURT.
————— |
At the Second Criminal Court, London, on Tuesday, David Flynn, thirty, labourer ; Michael Cassidy, fifty-one, labourer, and William Mills, thirty-one, labourer, were indicted for unlawfully assaulting George Smith, a constable of the Metropolitan Police Force, in the execution of his duty.
The prosecution in this case was instituted by the Treasury, and was conducted by Mr. Clark ; Mr. Ripton appeared for the defence.
The facts lay in a very narrow compass. The occurrence took place in the High-street, Woolwich, on the night of Monday, the 24th of August. The constable, Smith, was there on duty, and saw a number of prostitutes making a disturbance. He proceeded to quell it, whereupon the prisoner Mills, who was standing at his door—the house he kept being a brothel—interfered, and said that the constable had no business to interfere with the women. The constable was going away, when Mills came behind him and struck him with his fist. Then the prisoner Flynn came up and also struck the constable. Flynn was in a very excited state and called for a poker. His wife gave him a broom-handle, with which he dealt the constable a blow, and knocked him down. Flynn then struck the constable several times, and gave him some severe kicks in the head. Cassidy about this time appeared upon the scene in his shirt and trousers, and inflicted some severe blows on the constable's side. Cassidy was subsequently pursued into Flynn's house, where he was apprehended, and about the same time the other two prisoners were taken into custody. The constable was so seriously maltreated among them that he was even up to the present time suffering seriously from the effects of the blows.
At the close of the case for the prosecution, which was sustained by the evidence of the constable, and of two women of loose character from Woolwich, who witnessed the occurrence, Mr. Ribton, before proceeding with his address to the jury, informed the court that he had witnesses to prove that Flynn was standing at his own door when the constable in an offensive manner told him to move on.The Common Sergeant intimated that, even if this were so, it would be no justification for a man to strike the policeman, much less to kick him when he was on the ground. |

KINSALE BOROUGH REGISTRY—YESTERDAY.
————
(Before Mr. DANIEL RYAN KANE, Q.C.) |
THE Registry for the Borough of Kinsale commenced at half-past 11 yesterday.
Messrs. C. P. Wallis, and J. C. Blake appeared on the part of Mr, Fitzgibbon ; Mr. J. W. Bourke, instructed by Mr. Gilman, on the part of Sir Geo. Colthurst.
Mr. H. E. O'Donnell also attended as a ratepayer.
His Worship stated that he would dispose of the Town Clerks objections before going into those served by the opposing parties.
John Ahern, of Cork, for a house situate in the Main-st., was struck out as being out of occupation.
Wm. Charleston, Fisher-street, was struck off on the like ground.
Mr. Wallis—The house is in occupation of a man named Corcoran, your worship, for whom we have served a claim.
John Coleman, of Market-street, was objected to on the ground of not being in possession of the rated premises.
Mr. Wallis—He is in possession of another house of equal value, and we have served a notice of claim.
Mr. Bourke contended that the notice of claim was a bad one, as it did not state that he claimed in succession.
Mr. Wallis and Mr. Blake urged on the court that the claim need not state so, but that it was a matter of proof.
His worship did not think the notice sufficient, but held over the case for decision.
Jeremiah Coveney, of Fisher-street, was objected to by Mr. Bourke on the ground that a shop, part of the rated premises, was let to a tenant named Ellen Howe.
It appearing from the evidence that such was the fact he was struck off.
Messrs. Dawson and Southwick were objected to by Mr. Wallis on the ground that they were only trustees of the rated premises.
Mr. Betson, the Town Clerk, stated that Mr. Dawson was on the list for his own already, and that Mr. Southwick lived in Cork—that they were only trustees of a Mrs. Williams.
Mr. Bourke endeavoured to sustain Mr. Southwick's claim, the names were struck off.
Michael Galway, Compass Hill, was objected to by Mr. Wallis, who stated that he wished to examine Mr. Galway himself, as he understood that his mother was the tenant and not himself.
Mr. Bourke said that no summons had been served on Mr. Galwey [sic], and that he objected to Mr. Wallis's examining him.
Mr. Wallis—I find him in Court——
His Worship stated he would not compel a man to come forward unless a summons were served on him,
The name was accordingly retained.
John Daly, Friar street, was objected to by Mr. Bourke, for having let a stable.
It appearing from the evidence elicited by Messrs. Wallis and Blake that the stable was rated separately, the name was retained.
William Hartello was struck off, being dead.
Richard Walton Knolles was objected to by Mr. Wallis as his mother-in-law was the owner of the house.
Mr. Bourke—Who is rated in the book, Mr. Hosford?
Mr. Hosford—Mr. Knolles, sir.
Court—And does he reside there?
Mr. Hosford—He does, your worship.
Court—I'll leave him on then.
Daniel Mahony, of The Glen, and Daniel Shea, Barrack- street, were struck off, as having left the premises.
William Spillane, South Watersland, was objected to as not being on the printed list.
Court—Was he on the list supplied to you, Mr. Betson, by the Clerk of the Union?
Mr. Betson—He was not, sir.
Court—How, then, did you come to put him on. You seem to me not to want a revising barrister at all, for you take it upon yourself to do the business.
Mr. Betson—The Clerk of the Union came to me after sending me his list, your Worship, and asked me to put the name on in writing.
Court—Is that the case?
Mr. Hosford—It is, your Worship. I omitted the name in mistake.
The name was retained.
Wm. O'Beirne Adams, of Brass Cock Hill, was objected to by Mr. Blake, on the ground that the house belonged to his mother. The objection was disallowed.
Robert Browne, of Main-street, was objected to by Mr. Bourke, as having parted with the possession of part of the rated premises.
Mr. Browne was examined by Mr. Blake, and denied having done so.
The name was retained.
Edward Barry, Fisher-street, was opposed by Mr. Bourke, on similar grounds, and being out of possession of the premises.
Edward Barry was then examined, and proved that he left his house for about two months.
Mr. Blake—When he went to the water, your Worship (laughter).
Mr. Bourke—Have you a tenant named Geary, Mr. Barry?
Witness—He has no power whatsoever over the place, sir ; he has no separate key, but the key of his bedroom (laughter).
Mr. Wallis—You see, your Worship, how well up to the point they are.
The name was retained.
Richard Lewis objected to by Mr. Wallis—name retained.
Valentine Roche, Brown's Mills, was objected to by Mr. Bourke, as not being in possession of the premises.
Mrs. Supple examined by Mr. Bourke, proved that she was a tenant to the premises at £8 a-year.
Court—Well, Mr. Wallis, what do you say to this?
Mr. Wallis—I say he never parted with the possession.
Mr. Wallis, to witness—Did he ever give you possession, Mrs. Supple?
Witness—He did not, sir.
Court—Don't you reside in the house, and are you not to pay rent for it? What further possession do you want?
Mr. Wallis—Can't he go into the house at any time he likes?
Witness—He can, sir.
To Mr. Bourke—I have the head landlady's receipt for the head rent.
Court—You are one of the most accomodating tenants I ever saw, Mrs. Supple. I must, however, disallow Mr. Roche.
Edward Wade, of Main-street, was objected to by Mr. Bourke as having let a stable, part of the rated premises to a man named Kelly.
Mr. Bourke examined a Mr. O'Brien to prove that he served the summons on Kelly to attend.
Kelly was then called on the subpoena but did not appear.
Mr. O'Brien was examined, and proved that Kelly was tenant to the stable.
Mr. Wallis—How do you know that?
Witness—He told me so himself.
Mr. Wallis—I don't care what he told you—that's not evidence. Surely your Worship, you will not put it on us to prove a case on such evidence as that.
Court, to witness—Did you see kelly yourself in possession of the stable?
Witness—I did, your Worship.
Court—And is that the stable of Mr. Wade?
Witness—It is at the back of his house, sir.
Court—That and the absence of your friend, Mr. Kelly, coerces you, Mr. Wallis. You can examine Mr. Wade himself you know.
Mr. Wallis—I don't think your Worship ought put me to it.
Mr. Blake—Surely any man may walk into a stable and say “I'm tenant to it” if he wishes to oust a person from the franchise, sir.
Court—I have sworn testimony here, Mr. Blake, and a court of justice cannot put such a violent presumption against it.
Mr. Wade was then examined and stated that Kelly was tenant to the stable, but that he, himself, had the key to the yard and control over it.
Court—I am obliged to strike you out, Mr. Wade, and I am sorry for it. You gave your testimony as I expected you would. |
| LIST OF CLAIMANTS |
Garrett Ahern claimed to be put on the list for a house in the Glen.
Mr. Wallis supported the claim.
Mr. Bourke opposed on the ground of the tenant to the premises being a Mrs. Honora Sullivan. On enquiry this turned out to be the fact, and the claim was disallowed.
John Donovan of Castlepark, claimed to be put on as tenant to the Quay and half the Ferry at the World's End.
Mr. Wallis opposed the claim.
Court—Is this man on the rate?
Mr. Bourke—He is, your Worship.
Court—Then why in the world did not the Clerk of the Union return his name?
Mr. Hosford—I did not think, your Worship, he was entitled to be on.
Court—You and the Town Clerk seem to make the decisions between you. What right have you to take it on yourself to say whether he had a right or not.
Mr. Hosford—One of your predecessors struck him off sir——
Court—What is your objection, Mr. Wallis?
Mr. Wallis—We withdraw it, sir.
The claim was accordingly allowed.
George Meade Forde claimed for a house, offices and store, Cork-street.
Mr. Wallis objected that the house was not in the claimant's possession, but was let to tenants.
Claimant—But I hold the stores in my own possession, sir.
Mr. Wallis—A store! The coal hole, your worships (great laughter).
The store turned out, on enquiry, to be a small coal cellar, and the claim was rejected.
Cornelius Kelly claimed as tenant of the Tolls and Market
Mr. Bourke supported the claim, which was allowed.
Peter Lee and Hugh M'Clelland were disallowed, on account of the rates of the premises being unpaid.
Adam Perry, of Long-quay, was disallowed, his mother being the party rated.
This closed the list.
The revised list for the borough of Kinsale consists now of 145 voters, eight of whom are freemen.
Sir George Colthurst's agents claim the benefit of the results of the revision, the objections served by their opponents having been all disallowed. |
