John Bowles was indicted for the wilful murder cif Mary, his wife, by giving her several blows and bruises on her head and body. By the evidence of two women of the names of Tooley and Togwell it appeared, that the prisoner, who was a journey man sairyer, had been out on the 26th of December last, boxing. When he came home in the evening, he fnnnd his wife absent from the lodgings, at A nei4bbouring gin-shop. She soon after came home in compahy with a Mrs. Smith, whom he objeoted to her keeping company with. As soon as she en tered the house a quarrel ensued, when he struck her several blows in the passa ; afterwards they had another altercation up stairs, when he struck her again, and one of the witnesses saw him kick her on the floor. SOon afterwardi Mrs Togwell came into the room, and saw the deceased lying on the bed.—. The prisoner was standing by the fire side ; he said his wife had had a fit, and he had her laid on the bed. The woman went up to her, and saw she was dead, and immediately ex claimed, " Mr. Bowles, you have murdered your wife !" The prisoner seemed in great agitation, and beat his head. He him self afterwards went fur a surgeon, who shortly arrived, but the Woman was found quite dead. No one was present when the deceased dropped, and Mrs. Tooley said she was in the next room, and inu.4 have heard if any more blows had been given.

Antonio Cardoza (a Portuguese), Mary Rogers, and Sarah Browne, were indicted for the wilful murder of Thomas Da vies, by giving him several stabs in the back with a knife. The deceased, it appeared, was a waterman, who, on the night of the 12th of December, had been with his brother dancing, in a public-house in Nightingale-lane, St. Catherine's. In their way home they saw the two female prisoners, Browne and Rogers, in the street, when the deceased put his arm round the waist of Sarah Lrovene, which she took in auger. The brother desired ter not be angry, and lie would give her something to drink. A.squabble ensued, in which the deceased tore the clothes of Browne, by the hook of an ue.brella getting entangled in them. Shc immediately - called out for Antonio. When Carduza came tp, Browne immediately exclaimed, " that is him who has so served me ; murdee him, don't leave a bit of life in him." Car .drreadirectly attacked the deceased with along knife. A .senf fie ensued ; they both ,lawn, and Cardoza scabbed the de ceased several times in the back, of which wounds he immecli atAy expired. 'There was no evidence affecting the prisoner Mary Rogers, excepting that she was present. The Learned judge, in summing up, stated a distinction to exist between the cases of Cardoza and Sarah Browne. There was a quarrel and heat of blood between her and the deceased ; but Cardoza came in, and, without any provocation given iwi•- sanully to him, atta,ked the deceased. Cardoza was found guilty of murder, Sarah Drowre of manslaughter, and Mary Roger.; acquitted.
