Sarah Tapp, a wretched looking young woman, 17 years of age, was iiiilleted, on the verdict of the Coroner's inquest, for the wilful murder of her new born female child, on the 22.1 August, in the pa rish of St. Luke, by throwing it Tutu a water-closet, where it was suffocated to death. The utifortutiate Vionllll pleaded Not .1 e appeared in a state of great debility, and wits . inti'ailged with a chair to the dock. Margaret Maher stated that she icne w the Pri soner, who had been .t lodger in her house. Pri soner was martisd IPII tilt' Whitsuntide before. %Vit. tiros was previously swarrof her pregnancy. Towards the close of the month of A tuArso-t she asked her if she was nut ia the family way ; she replied, that she neither knew whetleer she w a s so, or n o t. On asking liar whether she halt the child, she said not; then witness observed, that joking from her op p-analice site would shortly feel it. On the '2olli of August the Prisoner went to Cistithsiwell Fair. Ott the following mornittg she came down stairs, and complained of being very pootly float drinking coffee. Its the afternoon she i•otittinied ni the ailme state, and said she thought she had caught cold tit the Fair. On the 2241 she came home between 10 and 11 o'clock :it night, anti went into the water clwir t %Mumt c.,rrying a light with her. 51w staid there about tea ounitites. Un her return she was carrying some water in it Vessel from the water• butt, but witness prevesited her, and carried it up stairs liersell; lest hisoner should injure herself by statiding on 11w cold stones. Witness bed a light in her hand at the time, and observed, that the Prisoner then looked very thin and windy. Witness did not enter Prisoner's room, but left the wade! on the landing near her door, Hod wished her good night. Prismier's husband came home after Witness at that time had Ho distinct :mine liesision of what lied liappesied. On the following morning. the 2:14, tlit Prisoner's mother came down stairs with somethiug in her hand, and called out witness, sayitig, that Robert (Prisoner's hits. band, was out, sad she told her that she fraud her daughter wee young and ignorant, and had miscarried. On the 29th the Prisoner asked witness if she would let her little boy carry a few things to the untangling woman). Witness de sired her to walk into her apartment. Which she did, and observed to her that she seemed in danger from her looks, and immediately called in the husband, and said to him, "'This poor creature, your wife, in lost for want of nourishment and proper assistance." While he went to get her some potter, witswis asked her how far she thought she had gone before she miscarried, she replied about five months*. Her husband returned, and the conversation ceased. Witness then gave the Prisoner a little worm porter, she still seemed very cold, and from certain ap pearances witness advised her how to prevent a milk fever. Witness made no further observotimis until the Monday fullownig, whets she saw the Prisoner going out to take is walk wills her mother ; she again remarked on her ill state of health; On the let of September, Llama two o'clock, Witness's little boy gave her souse iiiformittion which induced her to look into the water-closet, where she saw manet Wog lying on the right side. She immediately went to ■ neighbour, and inquired for Mra. Wyatt, who returned home with her—atid they then both ascertained, with the aid of Mrs. Wyatt's husband, that the body of a child was in the water-closet.— Tiie beadle was then fetched. Mr. Wyatt sent fur the Prisoner's husband, who refused to come, and said he knew nothing about it. They then went to the Prisoner, who was ois the bed in her own room. They asked her if she knew any thing of this child ? She replied, it was nothing of hers. Witness then said, that medical assistance must be sent for to ascertain the fact. Prisoner then owned the child was hers, and that she had put it down in the place where it was found. Witness asked her if it cried whets it was born, and she said " No." On asking her, twice over, if it moved, she replied, " No." This is all the witness knew of the matter. Its answer to questious from the Prisoner, the witness replied, that certaiiily about • week be fore the child was supposed to have been born, the Prisoner tad tallest down stairs, hurt her head, mid complained at the time of • pain in her side, and felt something beating as if against her heart. Thomas Hayes, the surgeon, stated, thst he saw the body of a tensible Child at the St. Luke's Parish Work-house on the 2d September, to which place it was carried by seder of the beadle aboult half an hour after it was ti-sr discotered. The body was swelled, and its a high state of putrefaction; he did not open the body, as it would have beets of no use in the state in which it war. He particularly looked at the exterior of the body, stud found no marks whatever of any violence having been inflicted on it. The child laid every apiwarance of having arrived at sts full period, but there was nothing to denote the fact whether it lied been born dead or alive. The fell said uneasiness which it was said the mother sustained, might very possibly haveinjured or killed the child in the womb, and led to premature labour. Mr. Baron °Rabats said. that there were several more witnesses, but he thought no new light could be throOn ott this case, sod perhaps the Jury had already seen enough of the reidence to come to a proper conclusion. The Jury assented—and the Learned Judge summed tip the evidence, and pointed out that the indictment required woof of the child havi n g been burrs alive, of which there was not a tittle its this case; on the contrary, the probability was that the reverse was the case from the accident which the Prisoner suffered shortly before, and from the 6 - . • • • • 1 7 ;!! 4 mediate decrortitiea of the woman • titiit the child oever stirred iir cried at the imoost of its hiritt.
