     CHARGE OF WILFUL MURDER
Inquest on the Murder of Eliza Bull.
Henry Bull accused of Murder (please refer to linked image of the Derby Mercury of 3 Jan. 1849)

CHARGE OF WILFUL MURDER.
On Thursday last, an adjourned inquest was held before Mr. Balguy, coroner, and a respectable jury, at the Town-hall,
Derby, on view of the body of Eliza Bull, whose death was supposed to have been caused by ill-treatment received
from her husband. It appears that the parties kept a brothel in the George-yard, Sadler-gate, and have four children.
The deceased was again enceinte; some blows received from her husband produced premature confinement and death.
The facts will be gathered from the subjoined evidence. Bull was taken into custody, and brought before the coroner and
jury, in the custody of Sergeant Hardy. He did not betray any feeling. We understand that he is a native of Longford,
and before he came to Derby had been residing on the other side of Ashbourn.
Anne Steward examined--My parents are both dead; I lodge with Mrs. Underwood, in Walker-lane; it is a regular
lodging-house; I went there last Sunday morning; I then lodged with the deceased, who, with her husband, kept a
house of ill-fame; there were three girls there; we were turned out at church time on Sunday morning; the deceased
was then living; I had lived at Bull's house five weeks; he and his wife had kept the house as a brothel about six months;
between seven and eight o'clock on the evening of the 16th instant, the deceased, learning that her husband was drinking
at the Black Boy public-house, which is only a few yards from Bull's house, sent me and Eliza Pearson to fetch him away;
we endeavoured to persuade him to go home, but he refused to leave the public-house, and we went back to Mrs. Bull
and told her so, Mrs. Bull then said she would go herself; she was perfectly calm and free from excitement; shortly after
she was gone, I heard the deceased scream, and went into the yard to see what was the occasion of it; I saw Bull strike
his wife twice, with great violence-once on the left side, and once on the head; he then caught hold of both her arms,
and swung her round from the house door into the house, and her head was struck against the pantry door with great
force; he was preparing to strike her again, when Eliza Pearson interfered, and prevented him, and he then left the house;
whilst he was illtreating his wife he used very abusive words, and repeatedly said he wished she was blazing in hell flames;
there had been no words of provocation used by the deceased to her husband. After Bull had quitted the house she
complained of a pain in her side and in her head, and lay down upon the "squab.” Bull returned to the house in about an
hour; we reproached him for illusing his wife, and told him he ought to be ashamed of himself; he did not make any remark,
but laughed. The deceased was with child, but did not expect to be confined until February. Shortly after Bull's return,
she fancied she had labour-pains coming on, and she was in the act of sending for Mrs. Smith, who is a midwife, to attend
her, when Mrs. Smith came into the house, and gave her a little gin-and-water, The labour-pains did not continue, nor did
they return until the following Monday night, when they continued throughout Tuesday, and she was confined of a still-born
child about one o'clock on Wednesday morning. I should have said that the deceased was ill from the Thursday preceding
the illusage she received from her husband, and complained of a pain in her head, She was very unwell on the Saturday
when Bull illtreated her.
Prisoner—She was taken with the night-mare on the Monday-night, and never was well after.
Examination continued—She remained very ill all the time until she expired at five o'clock last Friday morning. On the Tuesday
preceding her death, the deceased was taken very much worse, and I was present with Mrs. Smith when she said, addressing
her husband, “Henry, you wished me blazing in hell, and you will probably have your wish." To this observation Bull made no reply.
On the morning of Tuesday I was alone with the deceased, when she told me that on Saturday morning, the day on which her
husband ill-used her, she had felt the child move, and she then thought she should be confined earlier than she had calculated
upon, and that she had never felt the child since until that day, In the afternoon of the same day she repeated this in the
presence of Mrs. Smith.
Eliza Pearson examined—I had been an inmate at Bull's house about four months; on the night of Saturday the 16th,
I followed the last witness by the desire of the deceased, to the Black Boy to endeavour to persuade Bull to come home;
he was playing at bagatelle, and drinking; he refused, and then the deceased went herself for him, leaving me and Ann
Steward in the house; in about five or ten minutes we heard a noise in the yard and a scream, which we knew to proceed
from the deceased; we both run to the door, when we perceived that Bull had got the deceased against the door of the
adjoining house, and was knocking her head against the stone door-sill. He then took her by the arms, and swung her round
just as he would swing a cat round, into his house, her head coming in contact with the pantry door, which is about two or
three yards from the house door; she did not fall, as Bull still kept hold of her; he then let go her arms, and was going to strike,
her again, when I interfered and prevented him, Steward and I then abused him for his treatment of his wife and said he
wanted to kill her; he replied, he wished she was dead and in hell, blazing. He was rather fresh, but not drunk; Mrs. Bull laid
herself down upon the "squab," complaining of pains in her head and side from the blows which she had received. Bull returned
to the Black Boy; and deceased said she wished she could crawl she would fetch him back again, for that as we girls were going
into the town, it was a shame she should be left in the house by herself. After lying upon the squab some time, she arose and
again went to the Black Boy, and endeavoured to prevail upon Bull to return with her, but he would not. She then discharged
the landlady (Mrs. Marratt) from harbouring him, and threatened if she did she would break the windows, Marratt said she had
her bread to get, and refused to turn him out, upon which the deceased went into the yard and then returned into the parlour
with two stones in her hands, but her husband prevented her from hurling them at the windows, and shortly afterwards Bull
accompanied her home; and as they entered the house Ann Steward and I went into the town. We returned in about an hour;
Bull was not in the house when we came back; Mrs. Bull was lying upon the “squab” and still complained of violent pains in her
head and side, saying that her husband had hurt her head dreadfully, We had not been in the house more than five or ten
minutes before Bull returned. Deceased told us, in his presence, that after we had left the house Bull continued to ill-treat her,
and had dragged her off the squab upon the floor three times. We again upbraided Bull for his conduct, and he began laughing.
(The witness then proceeded to describe the condition of the deceased during the two following days; her evidence was corroborative
of the last witness's testimony. ) Bull was present on Monday morning when she said how violent the pain in her head was, and that
when she got up the pain left the head and went to her aide. Bull only laughed, and said he should have to fetch the midwife soon.
She called him a rogue, and said it was through him she felt the pains, and that it was no labour pains, but all through his ill-usage of her.
He made no answer, but laughed and sneered; she became much worse on Tuesday, and Mrs. Smith (or Hinckley) the midwife was called in;
she was confined early on Wednesday morning; Mr. Taylor and Mr. Greaves were present during the confinement, and continued to
attend her until she expired.
Mr. Greaves, (surgeon), examined—Immediately after 12 o'clock on Wednesday morning the 20th instant, I was called up by Henry Bull
with a request from Mr. Taylor, the surgeon, that I would go to him at Bull's house as the deceased was in her confinement in imminent
danger. On my arrival I found the deceased lying upon a bed in a state of great exhaustion, and Mr. Taylor in the act of delivering her.
I urged Mr. Taylor to deliver her as promptly as possible as it was the only chance of saving her. Mr. Taylor immediately succeeded in
removing the child, which was still-born. Whilst Mr. Taylor was delivering her I gave her stimulants, under which she slightly rallied for a time.
I remained with her about an hour afterwards and then left her in the care of Mr. Taylor. We called Bull up stairs after the delivery,
as we thought she would sink. Thinking she was dying she took leave of Bull, who cried a good deal, perceiving which she said " Never
mind, my lad, it is not through you"—or words to that effect. I continued to attend her until Friday when she died. I have since made
a post mortem examination. There were no external marks of violence with the exception of a wound upon the thumb which might have
been produced by a bite. There was no internal disease whatever. There was no internal evidence of the cause of her death. I have
no doubt that her death was caused by premature labour, which produced a shock upon her system from which she never rallied; and
I have no hesitation in saying that such premature labour was occasioned by the ill-treatment she received from her husband on the
Saturday preceding. After the post mortem examination Bull came to me, and, addressing me said, “I hope you will be merciful to me,
and be as easy as you can."
Mary Hinckley, formerly “Smith," (the midwife who was called in on the day preceding the delivery of the deceased), was next examined—
I have acted as midwife for nearly 20 years, I was sent for on the Tuesday morning to attend the deceased, but not finding the labour
advanced sufficient to require my immediate attendance, I left the house, and returned about seven or eight o'clock in the evening,
and remained with deceased until four o'clock next morning. In the meantime, seeing some awkward symptoms, I sent for Mr. Taylor,
the surgeon* What alarmed me first was her saying she had heard three distinct knockings at the door— (meaning, we suppose,
what are called, "death warnings.”) When I was with deceased on Tuesday morning, she said, addressing Bull, laughingly, “Henry, you said
you wished I was blazing in hell, and you will probably have your wish." (The witness proceeded to say, that the deceased was a very
wicked woman, when the coroner requested her to give evidence, not to preach.)
This being the whole of the evidence tendered, the coroner proceeded to sum up, and address the Jury. As far as the evidence had gone,
there was nothing to show provocation on the part of the deceased, and he did not, therefore, see how they could return any
other verdict than that of Murder. However, it was for the Jury to determine.
After consulting for a short time, the Jury returned a verdict of "WILFUL MURDER" against Henry Bull, who was committed to take his trial
at the assizes.
The Mayor was present during the proceedings.⁹

Tuesday Mar 20th 1849 Lent Assizes Derby Mercury:

"Henry Bull age 29 charged with having at the parish of St Michael in the borough of Derby, feloniously and willfully murdered Eliza Bull.
Mr Barlow for the prosecution; prisoner defended by Mr Boden. The facts were, at the time of their occurring, fully detailed in our police
columns. The violence with which the prisoner was charged took place in a house of low description, in George Yard, in this borough,
which was kept by prisoner and his wife, he having been drinking at a public house, within a few yards of his own house, and the
unfortunate deceased having, in a state of excitement, been to fetch him home, and having threatened to break the public house windows.
The female was at this time far advanced in pregnancy. After evidence had been adduced describing the nature of the assault, Mr Taylor,
surgeon, said, he attended Mrs Bull at the request of her husband, and observing alarming symptoms wished for assistance, and sent
for Mr Greaves, surgeon. That gentleman promptly attended, and witness in his presence delivered the patient of a still born female
child shortly after Mr G.'s arrival. Witness continued to attend Mrs Bull until the following Friday, when she died. Witness attributed her
death to a premature labour being brought on through a shock to the nervous system, and such shock might have been occasioned by
a blow or a fall.
By Mr Boden. - When Mrs Bull thought she was dying, she told her husband he was not in fault. On a post mortem examination the
appearances were natural.
Mr Greaves, surgeon, corroborated last witness, but on his cross examination admitted that premature labour frequently takes place
from natural causes without the supervention of violence, and might have done so in this case.
The Learned Judge summoned up, and he was acquitted."¹⁰

CHARGE OF WILFUL MURDER.
On Thursday last, an adjourned inquest was held before Mr. Balguy, coroner, and a respectable jury, at the Town-hall,
Derby, on view of the body of Eliza Bull, whose death was supposed to have been caused by ill-treatment received
from her husband. It appears that the parties kept a brothel in the George-yard, Sadler-gate, and have four children.
The deceased was again enceinte; some blows received from her husband produced premature confinement and death.
The facts will be gathered from the subjoined evidence. Bull was taken into custody, and brought before the coroner and
jury, in the custody of Sergeant Hardy. He did not betray any feeling. We understand that he is a native of Longford,
and before he came to Derby had been residing on the other side of Ashbourn.
Anne Steward examined--My parents are both dead; I lodge with Mrs. Underwood, in Walker-lane; it is a regular
lodging-house; I went there last Sunday morning; I then lodged with the deceased, who, with her husband, kept a
house of ill-fame; there were three girls there; we were turned out at church time on Sunday morning; the deceased
was then living; I had lived at Bull's house five weeks; he and his wife had kept the house as a brothel about six months;
between seven and eight o'clock on the evening of the 16th instant, the deceased, learning that her husband was drinking
at the Black Boy public-house, which is only a few yards from Bull's house, sent me and Eliza Pearson to fetch him away;
we endeavoured to persuade him to go home, but he refused to leave the public-house, and we went back to Mrs. Bull
and told her so, Mrs. Bull then said she would go herself; she was perfectly calm and free from excitement; shortly after
she was gone, I heard the deceased scream, and went into the yard to see what was the occasion of it; I saw Bull strike
his wife twice, with great violence-once on the left side, and once on the head; he then caught hold of both her arms,
and swung her round from the house door into the house, and her head was struck against the pantry door with great
force; he was preparing to strike her again, when Eliza Pearson interfered, and prevented him, and he then left the house;
whilst he was illtreating his wife he used very abusive words, and repeatedly said he wished she was blazing in hell flames;
there had been no words of provocation used by the deceased to her husband. After Bull had quitted the house she
complained of a pain in her side and in her head, and lay down upon the "squab.” Bull returned to the house in about an
hour; we reproached him for illusing his wife, and told him he ought to be ashamed of himself; he did not make any remark,
but laughed. The deceased was with child, but did not expect to be confined until February. Shortly after Bull's return,
she fancied she had labour-pains coming on, and she was in the act of sending for Mrs. Smith, who is a midwife, to attend
her, when Mrs. Smith came into the house, and gave her a little gin-and-water, The labour-pains did not continue, nor did
they return until the following Monday night, when they continued throughout Tuesday, and she was confined of a still-born
child about one o'clock on Wednesday morning. I should have said that the deceased was ill from the Thursday preceding
the illusage she received from her husband, and complained of a pain in her head, She was very unwell on the Saturday
when Bull illtreated her.
Prisoner—She was taken with the night-mare on the Monday-night, and never was well after.
Examination continued—She remained very ill all the time until she expired at five o'clock last Friday morning. On the Tuesday
preceding her death, the deceased was taken very much worse, and I was present with Mrs. Smith when she said, addressing
her husband, “Henry, you wished me blazing in hell, and you will probably have your wish." To this observation Bull made no reply.
On the morning of Tuesday I was alone with the deceased, when she told me that on Saturday morning, the day on which her
husband ill-used her, she had felt the child move, and she then thought she should be confined earlier than she had calculated
upon, and that she had never felt the child since until that day, In the afternoon of the same day she repeated this in the
presence of Mrs. Smith.
Eliza Pearson examined—I had been an inmate at Bull's house about four months; on the night of Saturday the 16th,
I followed the last witness by the desire of the deceased, to the Black Boy to endeavour to persuade Bull to come home;
he was playing at bagatelle, and drinking; he refused, and then the deceased went herself for him, leaving me and Ann
Steward in the house; in about five or ten minutes we heard a noise in the yard and a scream, which we knew to proceed
from the deceased; we both run to the door, when we perceived that Bull had got the deceased against the door of the
adjoining house, and was knocking her head against the stone door-sill. He then took her by the arms, and swung her round
just as he would swing a cat round, into his house, her head coming in contact with the pantry door, which is about two or
three yards from the house door; she did not fall, as Bull still kept hold of her; he then let go her arms, and was going to strike,
her again, when I interfered and prevented him, Steward and I then abused him for his treatment of his wife and said he
wanted to kill her; he replied, he wished she was dead and in hell, blazing. He was rather fresh, but not drunk; Mrs. Bull laid
herself down upon the "squab," complaining of pains in her head and side from the blows which she had received. Bull returned
to the Black Boy; and deceased said she wished she could crawl she would fetch him back again, for that as we girls were going
into the town, it was a shame she should be left in the house by herself. After lying upon the squab some time, she arose and
again went to the Black Boy, and endeavoured to prevail upon Bull to return with her, but he would not. She then discharged
the landlady (Mrs. Marratt) from harbouring him, and threatened if she did she would break the windows, Marratt said she had

with two stones in her hands, but her husband prevented her from hurling them at the windows, and shortly afterwards Bull
accompanied her home; and as they entered the house Ann Steward and I went into the town. We returned in about an hour;
