CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Jurtioe Keating.) MIMI& if ar garet Baker, TI, an unmarried woman, was charged . r i t h the wilful murder of her illegitimate child. Mr. F. H. Lwis conducted theibton prosecution was def e ended by Mr. R and Mr. Warner 51 7 i; case was one of some peculiarity from the fact .61 the prisoner was tried at the last session of court for the same offence, and upon that coaa aion the jury after having been several hours deliberation were discharged without giving a verdict. Th . & g m lay in a narrow compeer'. It appeared that the F awner was in the service of a gentleman at Streatham, sa d the f.unily were no doubt ignorant of the fact that she gas in the family way, but she appeared to have been w ry ill and left her service for a short time. Upon her m a n, in consequence of information that had been re „owl by the prisoner's master, he had a police-constable sttendance, and the prisoner waa told that she must have her boxes searched. She made some objec. g o , but ultimately consented, and in one of the woe belonging to her there was found the dead boy of a child with • piece of tape tied tightly „ wa d the neck, the tongue protruding, the area staring, and the body presenting all the appearances d death from strangulation. When the discovery was m ade, the prisoner became very excited, and exclaimed, " lam a murderer," and there appeared to be no doubt that the child was hers. With regard to the muse of death, the surgeon who was called in expressed a positive N oumea that the child bad fully breathed, and that it was born alive; and he expressed his assurance that death had been occasioned by the ligature that was tied round the seek. The medical man was crow-examined at consider able length by Mr. Ribton, and on being pressed upon the particular point, he stated that he was unable to express a positive opinion whether the child had ever obtained an 'independent existence, or that it was " alive " within the definition of the law at the time the alleged violence was Minted upon it. Mr. F. R. Lewis. in summing up the case for the prom cation, observed that whatever sympathy might naturally be felt for • young woman in the unhappy condition of Mae prisoner, the jury ought not to lose sight of the fact that numbers of children were undoubtedly destroyed, and that they were eminently entitled to the protection of the law. lie then proceeded to remind the jury that the prisoner had never attempted to account for the occur ream in the way suggested by her learned counsel, but that en the contrary she at once stated that she was a mut.- &car, and afterwards when she was questioned by the medical man, she repeated the statement that she had de the child. Arreßibton made a feeling address to the jury on be half of the prisoner, and. he said, that while admitting, if the evidence satisfied them that the dreadful crime of warier bad been committed, they ought to say so by their verdict, he should contend that in the present case there was an absence of such conclusive evidence upon two most important points, as must necessarily tend to win considerable doubt whether the crime had been com mitted. The learned counsel then proceeded to contend that, in the first place, there was no positive evidence that the child was born alive, and, secondly, that three was nothing to show that the ligature was tied round the neck of the child with the intention to destroy its life. The learned judge keying summed up, The jury .4rquittrd the prisoner of the murder, but con victed her of the misdemeanour of endeavouring to conceal the birth of the child. She was sentenced to be imprisoned end kept to bard Mom for two years. (Before the Recorder.) 1101HIRT WITH VIOLS/MIL Plato Sexton, 10, and Raymond Ayres, 19, were indicted for robbery, with violence, on Francis Allen, and stealing from him the sum of 21. 5e., his moneys. Mr. Cooper prosecuted, and Mr. Harris defended the en The evidence disclosed that the prosecutor, who is a ertermonger living at Hounslow, was passing Sunbury Cremon, in the direction of Feltham, in his donkey cat ab out 6 o'clock in the afternoon of the l4th July hst, when the two prisoners, whom he had previously horn, passed him in a pony and cart. After they had pee forward about 300 yards, they turned round and met tits prosecut.r. Ayres knocked him down by a violent Sew under the left ear, and then jumped upon kir and kicked him in the short ribs and bask. Ayres then called to Sexton, who rifted the prosecutor's pocket, and then they both jumped into the pay cart and drove off. The prosecutor followed as well r be was able and came tip with tbem at the Railway Inn, Feltham-bridge. lie sated them for his money, when Ayres threw him two penny pieties, and while he was !roping to look foe them the prisoner Ayres stabbed him in the cheek with some sharp instrument, the wound pene trating the cheek to the gums. The prosecutor became in sensible, and did not remember anything further that evening. _ The prosecutor was corroborated in some of the leading features by a countryman named Clarke, and by the Policecenstable Bolton, who took the men into custody the same night. Mr. Reeves, a surgeon residing at Hounslow, proved the nature of the wound on the cheek, declaring it was produced by a sharp penknife, similar to one which was found on Ayres when he was captured. Mr. Harris addressed the jury for the prisoners, and called several witnesses to show that there had been a fight between the prosecutor and the prisoner Ayres at the Railway Inn, and that no Instrument had been used by Area He contended that the jury could not rely on the unsupported testimony of the prosecutor. The Recorder summed up the evidence, and the jury found both prisoners Not Guilty. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. IMBEZELILMENT AND ROBBERY.

The complainant has always feltannoyed at his approaches, and had never given him any meat, and yet whenever he met her in the street he followed her, and threatened to do for her if she did not speak to him. The defendant (with great warmth)—S the truth and shame the devil, for lam not afraid of what will conic out. Mr. Ricketts continued, and said that the complainant was the wife of a cabman, and had been in the receipt of a sum of money weekly, but that had been stopped, and she had in lieu thereof received one large sum, and whether the defendant was enamoured of her or of her money he (Mr. Ricketts) could not tell. The defendant—Oh—her money ; I do not want that, I Gan tell you. Mr. Ricketts said it would be evident to the magistrate that the defendant was a violent and dangerous man, and if he could not control his temper whilst he was in a court of justice, it was plain that he would not when in the streets. The defendant had on many occasions threatened to murder the coinplainant, and once he had followed her in the streets with an open razor in his hand. and said he intended that for her. Since these proceed ings had been taken the defendant had met the com plainant, and had told her at the same time, making use of most dreadful threats, that if she appeared against him at this court he would poleaxe her. As the defen dant was a violent man he (Mr. Ricketts) had to auk that the defendant should be ordered to find responaible sure ties to keep the peace, for it would not be of the slighted use to bind him over in his own !vcognisanttell. Mr. Barker asked if the parties were related in any way, or whether there had been any business transac tions between them. Mr. Ricketts said the parties were not related nor had there been anything between them. The defendant seemed to have heard that the complainant had a little money, and since then had used every endeavour to in duce h er to leave her husband and cohabit with him. He had not only annoyed the wife but had abused the hus band, and had the husband given the defendant • sound thrashing with • hone-whip it would have been only what he deserved. The defendant—That is more than you or any other man dare do. I never threatened the woman in my life. The complainant, • showily-attired woman, confirmed her solicitor's statement in every particular, and added that on the day named in the summons she had Wen fresh lodgings, but the defendant had by some means found her out. He knocked at the street door, which was opened by her husband, and demanded to see her, and when be was told he could not be made use of dreadful threats and imprecations, and sail he had put many • shift on her beck. He then said that he would either have her or settle her. Yesterday he met her and again threatened her. Mr. Rioketts—Do you so in fear of him Witness —I do, for if he is not restrained I am afraid he will kill me. The defendant made • long and wild rambling state ment, the effect of which was • denial of the charge. Mr. Barker ordered the defendant to find • responsible surety to keep the peace towards the complainant for three calendar months. The defendant was then removed in custody. t3IIABE LIST&-(THIS DAY.)

The price closes nominally at 600. per ou nce standard. ifexican dollars are also lower, 4s. 100 per ounce being the rate at which those per &war Begonia and Tasmanian have to-day been sold.
