me, I Ail easy to Hewlett in her presence that she was jealous of • woman she saw me speak to. I told the landlord of the of Bedford that the prisoner was not my' wife, and that she was a married woman. I did not do this to insult the prisoner, but out of cenfidence to the landlord. and I also told him what her husband's name was. I had !been drinking un the day in question, but was not drunk. When I gave the prisoner the gin, I did not recol lect whether I offered to let her stop in the public-hous• and get as drunk as she liked. Stephen Hewlett, the person referred to by the last wit ness, correleerated the evidence given by him with regard to the prisoner lollowiog them about. As they ware going along he said that Blake put his hand on the stump of a tree and male 601118 remark, as he thought, in • joke, but be could not hear distinctly what he said. After Blake had slipped out of the house in toe way described the prisoner discovered his absence, and rushed out after him. She returned in about a quarter of an hour, and she then ob. served to him that Bloke should repent it before the next morning, and she would do somethivg for which she should die at Newgate. The ocherprisoer then went away, and about 9 o'clock at night he went lodging and knocked at the door. The prisoner said she would not open the door, but she would speak to him at the window, and she opened it for that purpose. Witness then asked her what was the matter, and teed her not to put herself in a pinion, for if she did it would end seriously with her some elity. The prisoner said she had something black on her mind, and she would pot a stop to it Wore morning. He tried to *oath her, and then shook Lands with her and left.—Cross-examined: The reason he went to the prisoner's house at 9 o'clock at night was that be felt uncomfortable on account of the threats she had made use of, end he was in hopes that Blake would be at home. Jane Jones deposed that on the night in question she saw Blake in Old-stmt and Goswell-street, and he accompanied her home end stayed with her until a quarter to ten the next morning. See had known Blake at this time about a fort night, but was not aware that he was a married man. Charles Adams deposed that he was landlord of the Duke of Bedford, and knew the prisoner and the man Blake. lie gave the same statement of what occurred in the public house as the other witnesses, and said that the prisoner ao- eused him of knowing something of Blake's going away.. She then went out and returned in about ten m inutes, acv companied by , Blake's little girl, Amina, and had some gin. After she had drunk it, she aid she would have her revenge on the children if she could not have it on him, meaning Blake, and before she went out she pointed to the clock, and said, " Mark tare time, it is five and-twenty minutes to eight ;" and she then turned round and went out of the house. Before this, witness had asked her why she had the little girl out so late at night, and she replied that it had been to bed, but she had taken it up again.—Cress exa mined: lie had heard the prisoner repeatedly make , similar threats with regard to the children before this time, and this was the reason why he did net take any steps to remove the children from her. lie had understood from Blake that the prisoner was not his wife, and he had in formed the prisoner what Blake told him. William Grubb depot el that on the 31st December he was living in the Kama house with the prisoner, and he returned home with his with from the theatre about twelve at nieht. At the earner of the court the erisuia r passed them, and he observed, a- he le, et lay the widow of the prisoner's room, that the two cheat-lei were alive sitting up in the bed, and apparently playing. About four o'clock the next morning an alarm was given, and he went down into the prisoner's room and found both the children were de ,d. Richard Wright proved that on the same night the pri soner told him that Bob or Rob: rt had promised to take her to the play, I it he hail given her the slip, and gone with a woman, and sho added that he was likely to repent it. Jeremiah Donoghue, a neighbour of the prisoner, said that he awoke between 1 and 2 o'clock in the minting of the let of January, and he heard the little girl Amnia twice call out murder.—Jane Wore, another neighbour, said that on the tr,mming of the Is: Jae uarv, about a quarter to four. she and h.r hueleaud ware awoke by a violent knock hog. Her husband opened the window, _and asked what was the matter ? and the prisoner answered that she wished to speak to her (witness), and she had something particular to say. She accordingly went down, and found the prisoner in the court, and she came into witues-'s teem and threw her self on a chair, and said, "On, Mrs. Moore, I have done it!" Witness asked her what she bad done ; and she replied that Mr. Blake had come home to take her to the play, and on going out met with a woman and tusk her by the arm, and said she was her (prisoner's) mistress. Witness told her this was en idle tale to trouble her about at that time in the morning, and the prisoner got up to leave, and witness again asked her what she hod done ; and she replied, " I have murdered the two children, and I am now going to deliver myself up." She afterwards saw the prisoner at the station house. Mr. ',Lanett, the chief clerk et the Clerkenwell police court, poised feat, when the prieiner was under examina tion, she made certain statements, which were taken in writing. Wh ..n the deposition made by Blake was read over to her, the prisoner remarked that what she had in her handkerchief was not lead, but a small piece of tile. Upon the final examination the prisoner said, " I merely wish to state how I came to follow Blake en the last day of last month. He came home about a quarter before five in the afternoon. He said, " Make haste and get the tea and get me some water to wash with. I an in a hurry ; I have got a party to meet at the top of Old. suet:, and I am going to take her to the play." I raid, " Ynu must go audjget bet to make your tea, for I won't." He washed himself and got his tea and went out, and I followed him to the Duke of Bed ford. He said, "It's no use your following me, for I have got to be at the stump at ten minutes after five." I told bun I would follow him. We went up Old-street, me, and him and Hewlett. He came to the post and put his hand over it, and said, " This stump knows me and I know it, and I'll kiss it fur the sake of these I am going to meet here," and he did kiss the post. Ile looked at Hewlett, and he laughed, and said, " hat do you think of her, she's jealous." Hewlett laughed and made some remark, and told us to he comfortable. We went into the liquor vaults and had some gin; then we came down Goswell-street, and he turned round to Hewlett and said, " I can make her jealous at any time ; I am in to meet a littleiwench." We went down k ann- street anr int o g Golden-lane. We went into the Duke of Bedford. I lost him there and never saw him again until this day. He has been the cause of all our mis fortunes, him and that woman there. John Moore, the :husband of a former witness4deposed that, in consequence of what his wife told hint, he obtained the assistance of two policemen, and accompanied them to the prisoner's house, and they all entered the room through the window. They found the little hay Icing at the head of the bed, in his night clothes, quite dead. The little girl was under the bed clothes, also quite dead. Robert Fowler, a police-constable ' mid that, about ten minutes to five on the morning of the l et of January, the pri soner came up to him and said, " Police, I give myself up." Witness asked her what for, hut she refused to tell him till she got to the station. As they were going towards the station they met another constable, who inquired of the pri soner whether she had given herself up for something that had happened in Cubitt's-court relating to two children, and the prisoner answered, n Yes, I murdered them both." He cautioned her not to say anything more, but, as they were going along, she repeated her statement, and said, " I in tended to do this nine months ago, and now it is done—more to my sorrow. I knew well what I was about." Harriet Haywood, the female searcher of the Feather stone-street Police Station, deposed that when the prisoner was brought in she begged of her not to touch her, for she was a murderess. George Maddam, a constable, who hail charge of the pri soner alter she was committed for trial, deposed that when the examination was concluded, the prisoner told him she had got through it better than she expected • all the wit nesses hed spoken truth, except Jerry Donoihue, and all he said was false, for the girl litter cried murder at all ; and she added that the poor little thing did not have the chance. She then said that she put the children to bed, and watched ores them ' and thought they never would have gone to sleep, and when they were asleep she blew the candle out, jumped on the bed, seized the girl, and alter she had killed her, she felt as though she could have killed a thousand children. She then turned round, she said, and saw the boy, and showed him no mercy, and she wanted none shown to her, and she hoped she should not be transported for life. Mr. Frederick Wright, surgeou, deposed that he was called in on the morning of the tat January, to go to the prisoner's room, and he was there shown the dead bodies of two children. There were marks of violence upon the nose and chin of both the children. He made a port-mortem examination, and ascertained thet their deaths were occa sioned by suffocation, from the forcible closing of the mouth and nose by the hand. His impression was that the act of killing was committed while the children were asleep, and it would not have been possible for either of them to cry out. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Clarkson then addressed the jury for the prisoner. The jury, who did not deliberate more than ten minutes, returned a verdict of Guilty, but accompanied it with a strong recommendation to mercy, on account of the unparalleled provocation she had received. Baron Alderson: The children gave her no provocation ! After a short interval, the prisoner was called up far judgment, and Baron Alderson, both the judges having put on their blackcaps, then proceeded to pass sentence upon the prisoner. lie said this very painful cue had now been brought to a conclusion, and the jury had returned the only verdict it was possible for them to do upon the evi dente. The recommendation to mercy which had accom panied their verdict should be forwarded to the proper quarter, but he entreated her not to indulge any hope that it would be of any effect. He could not but consider her offence one of great aggravation. Prom a feeling of revenge towards another person she had taken the lives of two unof fending children, and she committed the act while they were in a sweet, innocent sleep. The man Blake had, so doubt, behaved very ill to her; but whet ground was that for her to wreak her revenge upon his children, who had given her no offence ? ll e therefore entreated her to make the best use of the short time that remained t a her in this world, and to endeavour to obtain pardon where it was never refused, eves at the eleventh hour, to those who sincerely repented. Sen. tenet of death was then passed in the usual form. The prisoner, when the sentence was declared, exclaimed, "God forgive you, Blake ; you have brought me to this." She was then asked whether she had anything to urge in stay of execution ? She replied, in a faint voice, " Nothing I' ;end was then removed from the bar.

Bank of England notes, from the person of a merchant seaman, named William Dawson. The case depended upon a question as to the identity of the prisoner. The prosecutor deposed that she met him in Ratcliff-highway. A few minutes before his money was safe, but he found it gone directly the prisoner had left him. As no one else had any opportunity to rob him, he described her to the police. She was apprehended a week afterwards, when a boy named Stems recognised her as the woman who was with tke prosecutor at the time of the bk, THE EXPRESS SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 5, 1818. ~. t: • siding at 24, Haydon.square, Whiteelapel.—The complain ant stated that owing to some dispute about property he went in fear of his life since Good I riday last from the vio lence of the prisoner, who had frequently threatened to do him some fatal injury.

The stock market has worn a remarkably chequered appearance to-day, and the more so considering that no part icular event has occurred, or has been reported, which should exercise any special influence on the funds, either for the rise or the fell. Consols opened at the depressed rates current after regular business hours yesterday, say 881 to I; but shortly after they were done at 88i, both for money and account. At this lower rate buyers made their appearance, and prices rallied to 89, but at the close • a slight reaction depressed them to 881 to 9 for account, and 88! to 1 for money. Almost immediately after the official hour for report ing or transacting legal business had passed, that is, - business which would be acknowledged as such in RAILWAY NEIrS. case of any dispute by the committee of the Stock Exchange, the dealings took an extraordinary turn. Reports were current yesterday about reductions of Jobbers and speculators became all buyers, and con dividend proposed at the meetings this month sols, it was stated, were done at 891.

Ng. against the Spaniards, the head; of the Peruvian authorities applied for assistance to Chili in money and troops, but more pressingly for the former, and their solicitations were especially directed to obtain a loan of one million of dollars from Chili, out of the funds which had been received by the Chilian government as the product of the loan previously ne gotiated and realised in London on its account. The request was complied with, and the money paid over, on the understanding that Peru should be subject as to amount received nominally and really:to the same conditions as those by which Chili was bound to the British contractors, by whom the loan was negotiated on its account. Subsequently Peru begged for a million of dollars more, the half of which was granted on the same terms. Besides these two sums, and the proposition of Peru in September, of the same year, for a further loan of 2,000,000 of dollars, about which there is some ambiguityas to whethercomplied with or not, in whole or in part, there is a further claim of 724,094 dollars by Chili, for provisions and stores furnished to the liberating army of l'eru, which appears to be a just and not disputed account. Chili liberally enough consents to forego, besides, very heavy and equitable demands, which might have been fairly insisted on, for the equipment, charges, and ex penditure of the Chilcno army and fleet which were despatched to Peru, and assisted so energetically in its rescue from despotism. Thus, independent of accumulations of interest, Chili holds Peru legally and loyally indebted for nearly two-and-a-half millions of dollars, the arrears of interest upon which, if pressed for, as probably may be the case notwithstanding the moderation otherwise of the Chilian government, would more than double that sum. The Chili= minister declares that Peru, as the richer country, ought to be enabled to discharge these obligations, and must prepare to begin upon some periodical arrangement which may make the burden leas hard to be borne. The question in result may perhaps come to be whether the claims of the English bontillolders7or of the Chili govern ment shall be primarily attended to. The latter being on the spot will, it is to be feared, obtain the preference. BANK OF ENGLAN r Notd loved Z 147152,235 FORZIOX RATIMMTII. I . Bonknate Amiens. 135 14 (Alcor fr.tOr.4. VeN! id. 4p.

MEETINGS.—RILNENNT AND GREAT SOUTHERN AND ERTERE.—HnIf-yes 1.1 y Meeting —London, Feb. 4.—Mr. J. Wise in the chair.—The Secretary read the report, which stated that repeated attempts had been made to hold meetings in the years (Sly and ISIS, but, owing to the non-attendance of the proprietor., they fell to the ground. The directors did not recommend the adoption of any ac tive measures at present, and had applied to the commissioners for an extension of time. The expenses had been reduced within their utmost limits, and the liabilities were of such an amount sr to ne cessitate a caU for 10e. per share. The statement of accounts showed the receipts at 16,974!. 2c. sd. • expenses, 16,6511. 17a. ad.; and the balance in band 922/. 4s. B.d. The Chairman, being personally ac quainted with the country, could bear testimony to the importimportance of the line to all parts of its district, as it would be a direct communies. lion between Kilkenny, Dublin, and Limerick, and, ultimately, he hoped, with Galway and all the western part of Ireland. The Great Southern and Western line had rapidly carried on their works, and this Meowed the &Aire that the communication between that line on the one aide, and Kilkenny on the other, should be completed. Looking at the late digress in IrelJnd, it woo not to be expected that there would be any surplus capital to apply to objects, even of each admitted utility as this line. He trusted, however, that the condi tion of Ireland bad during the last year reached the lowest point, and that they might look forward to better times; and should this hope be realised, this and other eiroDar projects for the permanent improvement of the country would be carried out. This it should be borne in mind was no mean epeculative scheme; it was one for forming a really necessary counnuoitation between one of the richest district.. of the country, a district well inha bited throughout, and Dm coast on each side. The directors bad informed the shareholders thit they did not propose to prosecute the works at present—that they intended to wait for better times, and that in the meantime the expenditure would be limited to the smalket possible amount. The directors received nothing for their Perrier*, nor would they accept anything.—A gentleman wished to aprak to the accounts, as proxy for a shareholder.

BRISTOL, Fee. 4.—We hue aga . n to _sport a very good demand fur all descriptions or raw sugar gettable for the male and pan ; but, from the limited show at marl et, the transactions since our last have neemearily been restricted. The sales of the w. Pk reach 300 Wads. and tees.

The refined market has Ix en very brisk, and an iolvanoe of fully 2s. per cwt. estab'shed on all descriptions of manufactured goods. Treacle, which wag dull at Us. to 1N.., has been sold in large quantities for forward delivery, at 19s. and even at this improvement the refiners decline catering in,o farther contracts. For rum there has been • goal demand, and mvera! old lots Dave been cleared off the market at a further im provement of Id. per gallon, making the ads - ance 341. to DI. Dom the lowettt point; the stocks under bond are nearly now all held by the dealers. The arrivals this week consist of the Neptune, from Calcutta, with a cargo of sugar and saltpetre ; and the Glenelg, from I tamerara. with sugar and rum—all of which have come to a very hare and good market. COTTON —Liveanooe, Fen. -I —The quotations fixed by the committee of brokers for " fair" cotton are, for tplands, 3d. ; Mobiles, Sd.; Orleans, 51d.; Brazils and Egyptians continue steady; Suratei are fully id. per lb. higher. During the past month there hare been forwarded unsold into the country 1870 American, SOO Peruams, and 040 Sarata. The sales to-day arc estimated at 3,100 tutees The total sales of the week amounled to 31,630 bales, includ ing 3,400 American and 300 Swats on "peculation, and 100 American and 30 Maranhams for export. WORSTED STUFFS, &e.—BßAhroao, Fen. 3.—There was a pretty good attendance of merchants at the Piece-ball this morning ; but, in the absence of any active demand for exportation,the transactions were not so extensive as at some resent markets. There is, however, a fair business doing to order, both in goods sal yarns. Both the yarn and wool markets were comparatively inactive, the spinners being reluctant to give the prices asked by the staplers for the raw material, and being unable, as they complained, to realise adequate terms for their products. The principal sales were In Cobourgs, and other mixed fabrics. BLANKETS.—HicxmoNnwixr, FIB. 3.—There was much better attendance of merchants at our blanket-hall to-day then we have had for some weeks past, and there was a little more busi ness done in goods suitable fur the home trade. Prices remained 112. • tionary. HOSIERY AND LACE.—NorrimarAm, Frit. 4.—The Fiore trade, both cotton and silk, seems gradually improving. There is a considerable movement, sod very few silk-glove bands are wholly Cot of employment. The cotton branches are is a more depressed condition. The wrought cotton how hands are tolerably well em ployed i• some districts, though there are many of them short of employment. The cut-up hose trade still continues a elude better, but a set-hack hose in now made by frames propelled by steam power, and that in a manner not generally contemplated by the workmen, of which further. The drawer branch Mill keeps in ate im proved state, and great activity prevail', in many of the shops, but this, we regret to my, has many exceptions. The bobbin net trade is yet in a state of considerable consternation, ea the principal factory still continues to discharge their bands, many of them of twenty years' standing. The factory to which we alluded last week has not stopped, but has stinted their time to four hours per day. On all sties we hear of nothing but distressed machine-owners, and of course rumour makes things worse than they really are, by stating that such a nem - a hae faded or is ving to fail in business. Another rumour has done considerable mischiet, which states that certain manufacturers are buying nets at the cost prim of the yarn, slaking wages and profits ; this has been asserted fur more than two years, and if true, most of the machine-owners must have been upon the lint of paupers. Nothing, however, can exceed the distressed Matt of the smiths, se dram the &wharf!, of so many from the railway works, the roads are thronged with tramps seeking em ployment.—Natts./ounfat. 1.

OM robbery. For the defence, Mr. Payne called a man named Singleton, who swore that on the night in question he was with the prisoner at a theatre from hall-past 5 till 11 at night, so that she could not have robbed the prosecutor at half-past 8. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The learned Commissioner sentenced the prisoner to be tran sported for seven years. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Wore Mr. Serjeuut AuUrn% INDICTMENT FOR NUISANCE.—This case, which had been adjourned, was resumed. In opening the cue for the prosecution in this matter (referred to in our paper of yester day), Mr. Parry paid the author ities of the parish of St. Lae had thought it incumbent o n them, on public grounds, to prefer this i n dictment against Mr. Gore, partialfean He hoped for an investigation as im as it would 'be full. Evidence was then given. A plan of the premises was put in, by which it seemed that two inclosed areas, one on either side of Ilattield.street, were used by the defendant as a depositary for the moat offensive filth—the refuse of all the markets of •be metropolis. The dust was collected in such prodigious heaps, that often they were as high as the house tops, end when the wind was high it carried clouds of dart into the neighbaurbood, which was most annoying to the inhabitants. The effluvium from tho " slop yard" was described as most offensive and injurious. Typhus lever and other inseam constantly infected the lanes and courts in Midillesex-row, Dean's-court, Golden-lane, and in the neigh bouring streets. In hot or rainy weather the smell was al most intolerable. The medical witnesses said that the gases emitted from these two filth yards was most prejudicial to life and health.—Dr. Southwood Smith, having inspected the premises, said be considered that every resident in the neighbourhood was liable to fever, especially when the state of the atmosphere was favourable to the development of the poisonous vapours &tieing from this nuisance. This warms, in cross-examination, said he comiduru ul Smithfield market a public nuisance, upon which Mr. Serjeant Adams re marked that everybody thought so, except the City corpora tion.—Drs. Thom n, Close, Douglas, and Mr. I. F. Cooper, gave similar testimony to that of Dr. Southwood Smith; and twenty-four of the inhabitants of liattield4treet gave evidence of toe alleged nuisance being of a most often- sive and extensive character.—Kr. Ballantine then pro ceeded to addrc s the jury for the defence, contending that the alleged nuisance did nut exist, as had been descrined by the witnesses, and that the emanations from the heaps of rubbish were not deleterious to health, or dangerous to life. The learned gentleman quoted from several authors opinions of those writers, that the exhalations from such heaps as the present were not pernicious in their effects. — Mr. Pecans called a very great number of witnesses, chiefly dustmen and nightmen, who stated that they were born, as it were, in a duet-yard, had spent their lives in it, yet had never suffered from ill health, or spent mom than 181. a year for medicines—Dr. Guy, of King's College hospital, deposed, that he had visited this dust-yard, but had not de tected any offensive smell. Ile had examined the various species of matter collected, and did I.ot think the gases arising therefrom calculated mat. Tinily to injure health. lie haul ex. amined into the en nerol state cf health in the neighbourhood, but hart not found any dis.;ase, the origin of which ho cieild attribute to the mutter collected in the defenda,t's yard. lie hail found fewer eases of fever anongst scavengers than amongst o.he r trades. —Dr. Ryan gave similar evidence.—Mr. Parry replied upon the defence ; and the learned Serjeant, in summing up the case, said public attention had, to a very great extent, been ex cited to the subject of the sanitary state of the metropolis, but lie hoped thejury would not allow any desire for improvement to away or warp their decision in this issue.—The jury, after half an hour's consultation, found that a nui<ance did exist, and, therefore, that the defendmut was Guilly.—Mr Parry did not peso for any fine or punishment. Ilia clients only wanted the nuisance to h reinoved.—Mr. Gore was then bound ova r, himself in SOL and two sureties in VII., t., appear ant receive it/d:meet on 33th March, it being under stood that, in the meantime, the nuisance was to be removed. POLICE.-YESTERDAY. SOl:TllWARK.—lionnisro TILL.—W, Archer, • diminutive boy, was charged with stealing a till, containing a quantity of silver, out of a baker's shop in Trinityatreet, Southwark. On the preceding night the prisoner and an other boy were observed lurking is front of the baker's shop, and after some little time the former was seen to creep in on his hands and knees, while his associate kept a look-out on the outside. When the prisoner arrived at that part of the shop opposite to the till he rose up, and, making a sp:ing on the counter, reached over and pulled the till out of its place, and immediately left the shop. On getting outside, into the street, he ran down an adjacent turning, and was in the act of emptying the silver the till contained into his cap, when he was secured by a person who had been wa'elt r. g his movements from the moment he first entered the sh-op until he obtained pos session of the property whi,h was found in his possession. • —A policeman, iu reply to Mr. Seeker, said the prisoner, although so young, was an expert thief—that he had been once summarily convicted at this court for a similar robbery to the one with which he was now charged—that since that he bad been committed (or trial for another robbery, convicted at the Central Criminal Court, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment and whipping, and that he had only recently come out of g-col, after having suffered the punish= nt.—Mr. Seeker committed him for trial. LAMBETH.— CONCEALING • BIRTH.—Mr. William Barnett, landlord of the Crooked Billet public-house in Johnson's-change, Rosemary-lane, was charged with having concealed the birth of an infant, of which a young woman named Sarah Davey, his maid, had been delivered in his house. The prisoner had been taken into custody in conse quence of the complaint of the father of the young woman Davey, and the unsatisfactory account given by him and his sister of the disappearance of the infant and the death of its mother. Sarah Davey, who had lived in the prisoner's ser vice for three years, had been removed from his house last Wednesday fortnight to the house of his sister, No. 4, Cork street, Camberwell, On the following day Mr. Smith, a medical practitioner, was called in, and attended to her up to death, which took place on Sunday last, and he gave a certificate, alleging that her death had been occasioned by erysipelas. Mr. Smith further stated that the deceased had not informed him that she had been recently confined, nor had lie the slightest suspicion on the subject. Previous to her death. however, the deceased communicated to her sister the fact of her having been delivered of a seven months' child, at the house of her master, the day before eke left the house of Mr. Barnett, and said her master had given a man six shillings to take the chili away. Mr. Flower, a surgeon in Camberwell-green, made an examination of the body of the deceased, and from appearances which presented themselves, he felt satisfied that she had been recently delivered of a child, and he gave a certificate to that effect. The statements of the prisoner and hie sister in reference to the removal of the deceased, and other important portions of the evidence, dif fered widely. The latter said that on the morning of ' Wednesday fortnight the deceased wrote for her, and on her going to her brother's house she found her there. She com plained of being very ill, and said she should accompany her ' to her house in Camberwell, upon which a cab was sent for ' and they rode home together. The prisoner, on the contrary, ' said that though his sister, Mrs. Chambers, had been to his house on the morning of Wednesday week, she had not ao companied his barmaid from there : on the contrary, site' left half an hour before. The deceased, he said, had com plained for some time before of ague and rheumatism, and insisted on going away on Wednesday fortnight. He endea voured to persuade her not to leave, but she insisted on going, and sent the potman for a cab, gottinto it at the door, and drove away. lie denied, in the moat positive manner, that he had any knowledge that the deceased was in the family way, and said that if she had been delivered of an infant m his house it was wholly without his knowledge. ; His sister in Camberwell, he said, was in the habit of washing for him, and on the morning in ques with her the washing, amongst twiohlichswheere tookt things way belonging hat mince been sent home clean.—Sergeant Kendall said that t • on the day before the prisoner distinctly told him that the young woman who had since died had walked from his houac to Tower-hill, where site took a cab and drove off. The prisoner then denied that to his knowledge the deceased had Leen delivered in his house, but on examining her bed-room he observed such appearances as to leave no doubt on his mind that some person had been delivered there.— Afterhaving been cautioned, the 'prisoner, in reply to the questions of Mr. Norton, said his family conaisted up to a fortnight ago of his wife, the deceased, and • potman. His wife, however, was only at his house occasionally, as she held a situation in Guy's Hospital. He again declared his ignorance of the pregnancy of deceased, or of her having been delivered of a seven months' child. He could not account for the desire of the deceased to leave his house on the morn ing in question, excepting it was her illness, and there was no arrangement mad* about her return to his service ; en the contrary, it was his impression that she had left his ser vice altogether—Mr. Norton observed that there were con siderable discrepancies between the statements of the pri soner and his sister, which rendered the case one of a highly suspicious character; and he must, therefore, call on the prisoner to put in good bail for his appearance on • future day.
