1 RE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY fiont (lie Morning Papers. Aug.lo ; 1825. LMORNING HERALD.] There is no more effectual way of disguising the truth than by raising a plausible fiction in its stead. This is as often done unconsciously as by ►lesign. In the case of Ireland we have, at this moment, a striking instance of both. The Ca tholic lawyers, who, it is clear, want only silk gowns and professional fees ar:d honours, wish to persuade the people that emancipation, as t:tey call it, is the true panacea for all their griev ances ; while a great body of the aristocracy avow the same thing. Now the lawyers, we be reve, know very well, that Catholic Emancipa tion would act but as a drop in the ocean, in be nefiting Ireland ; while the Noblemen in ques tion►, whase eyes are hoodwinked to the real cause, seriously adopt this fictitious one. It is high time that those latter persons should be undeceived ; because, if we mistake not, they are attributing the evils of Ireland to a wrong, cause, while they are themselves, in a great de gree, the real and true one. The great source of misfortune to Ireland—the cause of the poverty, the wretchedness, the ignorance and in subordination of so large a part of her population, is the absence of the landed proprietors from their estates, and their withdrawing from the country the rent and produce of those estates. Facts are on this, as on all other occasions, of most importance : and without any wish to pry unnecessarily into men's private concerns, we should like to see an accurate list of the Noble- Melt and others having estates of 1,0001. a year and upwards in Ireland, who never spend one farthing of it in that country. We have at this moment a partial list of the kind before us; but it is too circumscribed to justify its publica tion. The estates of the Nobility, the City of London, and others so situated, are immense ; and we are quite sure that we do not overrate the rental thus withdrawn at 200,0001. per ann. The most obvious way of viewing the importance of this to the community, is to follow the reverse through -few of its details and channels. Now if 200,0001. were spent in Ireland, instead of being sent .out of it, it would in all probability be returned by the various shopkeepers, &c., four times in the year, making an actual return in trade to such shopkeepers of nearly a million of money, and if these shopkeepers obtained a profit of 15 per cent on this 1,000,000/. a year, there would be a return of profits in trade of 150,0001. a year or nearly the amount of the original sum ex pended ; and allowing 301. for the annual main tenance of each individual, there would be a population of 5,000 people provided for out of the profits resulting from keeping at home 200,000/. a year of capital, instead of its being sent out of the country to be spent in England, France, &c. But this is a very confined view of the matter, and traces this capital only through its first stages of application. Instead of 200,000/. a year absentee remittance causing a loss- of trade to Ireland of one million a year, it more probably would be found, if pursued through all its ramifications, to cause a loss of two or three millions a year of return in trade ; and thus, in fact, to obstruct and defeat the very first channels of public and individual wealth. In this view of the subject we say nothing of moral causes ; of the advantages resulting to the community front a resident gentry, wholly unconnected. with money—advantages much too numerous to be even alluded to now. But taking the matter, as INe. have here considered it, merely as on of dry calcalation, we would ask what can Catholic Emancipation be in comparison to it ? Nor can we avoid remarking how provokingly absurd it is to hear high-minded honourable absentees talking of Catholic Emancipation as the measure which would relieve Ireland, wi►ile they hold in their own hands and in their own pockets at once tl►e cause of the evil and the only means of its CRTC. [MORNING POST.] A Supplement to the Gazette i, to appear this day, with his Majesty's Order in Council for re gulating, the performance of Quarantine. T,he strict execution of what remains of the Quaran tine Laws is indeed become absolutely necessary on account of the fury with which the Plague rages at Alexandria. The free admission of ves sels and cottons from that place would now create the most wide alarm throughout this coun try; whose severe regulations have saved it for the last hundred and sixty years from such awful visitations. The general apprehension that those regulations have been imprudently modified, will be confirmed or removed by the tenour of this Order in Council. It will dispel the obscurity and doubts in which the late changes made in these laws are still enveloped, and will inform the. public of the real nature and extent of the precautionary measures which it is still possible to take. Why we find that they are still efficient, and that in our eagerness to encourage the Cotton Plantations of the Pacha of Egypt we have made no sacrifice calculated to endanger our safety, [TII 1: TIMES.] Yesterday we received Mexican papers to the 3d of June. Whatever difficulties may stand in the way of the ratification of the treaty concluded between this country and the new Republic, no explanation of the points in dispute can be col lected from the journals before us. It is true that much 'discussion had arisen in the Mexican Ctingress when the treaty was submitted to the consideration of the Chambers, on a motion for adding an additional article, containing a formal recognition of the independence of Mexico. The r,-suit is no-where officially stated, and is not mentioned in the proceedings of the Congress, the reports of which are very imperfectly given. It is prObable that the decision took place in a secret sitting, and from the allusions occasion ally made to the treaty in the Aquila, of which we have later dates than of El Sol, it appears That the proposition was rejected, as has already beet, slated. The President, in, his speech on the closing of the Session, observes that the treaty hid. been adopted by the Congress, and says nothing of any additional article. A letter from a senator, addressed to the editor of ale Aguila, dated the 11th of May, thus states how the ques tion then stood in the body to which he belongs: —" It is certain that objections were made in " the Chamber of Deputies, and are now repro " duced in the Senate, censuring the absence of " an article for the express recognition 'of our " independence by Great Britain, as the pre " cise basis of the commerce stipulated in the cc treaty. It is also certain that thirteen senators • signed a motion for the insertion of such an " article." This motion had been referred to a Committee ; but the writer of the article says " there is no fear that the Committee and the " Senate would so far forget their duty as to " adopt so absurd a proposition." This ses sion of the Congres terminated on the 21st of May, and an account of the President's speech has already reached us through the New York Papers ; but we shall here quote the passage which relates to this treaty :—" England, the " must powerful State of Europe relative to us, " has recognized the independence of Anahu " ca, and that nation, which, though thou— " sands of leagues from our coasts, may yet be 44 said to inhabit the American continents, and " even to border on us, has, on this basis, conclud ed treaties of friendship, navigation, and corn " merce, Avhich were submitted to the consider " ation of the Chambers, and which have • now " received their approbation." The President of the Chamber of Deputies, in his reply, also alludes to the treaty. in recapitulating the la bours of the Legislattre, he last of all just men tions " the deliberations worthy of the zealous " representatives of this new nation, and the 44 earnest debates on the approbation of the treaty " of commerce and friendship with the King of " Great Britain." To these extracts we may add one more from the leading article of the Agrala of the 21st : " The treaty with England is brought to a conclusion on the part of the Mexican Republic. The Senate has at length g: - ten its sanction, convinced of the justice - and propriety of such a Convention, which can have no other character than that which is impressed on it by public authority, or by two sovereign na tions agreeing on a measure of reciprocal utility. Advan tageous treaties,' says Voltaire, are produced by victories,' and we may with truth say, that the great victory which we have obtained over our oppressors has produced this treaty, whereby the Republic is exhibited in the high station of a self-govern power." The Aguila of the 2d of June contains an ac count of the presentation of Mr. Ward, the Bri tish Charge d'Affaires, to the President, but does not give his speech. The President, in his reply, reiterates the fact of Great Britain having recog nised MeXico as a free and independent State. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] It is quite amusing to witness the awkward efforts which the friends of M. de Villele are making to cover his retreat, after having been so shamefully beaten in his scheme for converting the Rentes. Some of them have even had the effrontery to say, in the teeth, too, of overwhelm ing proofs to the contrary, that he has actually succeeded. Such a triumph was never before achieved in finance ; and if its honours do not crush the victor, we are egregiously mistaken.— The question was, the conversion of 150 millions of Rentes, and only 30 millions are converted, leaving an enormous defect, of 120 millions, or four-fifths of the whole. We want no other proof of the profound distrust with which his project has been received in France, where the public feeling must ultimately decide its success or mis carriage. If any other proof of its impracticabi lity were wanting, we would refer to the decision of the Bank of France, the Directors of which have unanimously rejected a proposal to convert its funded property into the newly created Stock. When a Body .so subject to ministerial influence declares against a ministerial measure of the very firA importance, it is not only an unerring sign of a failure, but also an infallible indication of the approaching fall of the Minister. However, the latter, we are told by his bungling supporters, is still to do wonders by means of the Sinking Fund ; though the whole of it, if it were to be ►rnmediately appropriated to this purpose, would not effect a conversion of a tenth part of the old Stock into the new. But who has given the Minister a right to divert this fund from its legitimate object, in order to apply it, in the teeth of public feel ing, to the promotion of his own personal views? His next and last resourse is the 42 Stock ; but the" Renters now know their advantages too well to accept the compromise; and we risk no tl►ing in predicting, that this part of the scheme will be as complete a failure as the other. [BRITISH PRESS. We have recently received several communi cations on the subject of the secret movements of the Catholic Association, with remarks on the danger arising therefrom to the tranquillity of Ireland. The writers appear to us to entertain much more alarm than the occasion justifies.— They mistake, as it appears to us, the state of faction for the state of the country, and to draw inferences from the one which are not at all appli cable to the other. Mr. Shell's language at these public meetings is no doubt intemperate, and full of ecitement ; the comment we made upon, this at the time will serve to shew that his extreme indiscretion—to give it no harsher epithet—has not escaped us; but in our opi nion it is the Catholics themselves who have most reason to complain ; a body of men who ask for an increase of power ought, above all things, to avoid making a parade of the mischievous pur poses to which they can employ that which they already possess. An Irish orator, with an excur sive and warm imagination, like Mr. O'Connell, or brimful of fancy and metaphor, like Mr. Sheil, must always make an unfit leader in any great cause in which his party—whether in politics or religion—have great ends to accomplish and great interests at stake. The Catholics are beginning to arrange themselves under adverse banners; the cause of this is obvious, the more reflective and temperate cannot go equal lengths with the incon siderate and over-heated. They know the devoted ness of the lower order of Catholics to their priests; and are aware of all the horrid excesses to, which they may be carried, should their ignorant zeal be misguided to purposes of revenge by their Father Confessors. The Irish peasantry—whom sloth and poverty have corrupted into wvetchedness— what is emancipation to them ? The talented and opu lent few have no doubt much to gain, but if they could command the multitude to their pur poses, and march them at their will, it is not through such means they could gain it. They will no doubt say it is not through such means they would attempt it. We believe not. But when men become enthusiasts in any cause, though their good intention may be trusted, their discretion cannot. They carry away others, and are carried away themselves infinitely farther than they had intended. Every step of censurable imprudence leads them farther astray, and they are at length obliged to follow that multitude which they are no longer able to guide. It is not long since that the language and proceedings of Mr. O'Con nell alid his party were full of conciliation and sound policy. We hope they will decide on re. turning to this course ; it is decidedly the most prudent, and will give their more enlightened friends a much better assurance of their wisdom than is to be found in their revival of their asso ciations. [MORNING CIIR ONICLE.] The New Times delights in finding work for our Legislators : the other day it prayed for a law for Lions; it Bow calls for a remedy to a " most crying evil," namely, the climbing of little urchins, and sometimes of men weighing fourteen or fifteen stone on the backs of car riages ! The Collective Wisdom is gravely required by our contemporary to apply its great mind to the suppression of this evil, which if not crying in itself, as The New Times pro nounces it, is yet indisputably the cause of, or pretext for many cries, some of which, are frivolous and vexatious to coachmen. As our Legislators for the most part keep their carriages, and as persons, whether urchins or men of weight, who climb up behind them, commonly scratch the varnish of the carriage, it is not at all impro bable that effect may be given to the wish of our contemporary ; and we must not be surprised if next Session the Statute Book should be enrich ed with a law to put down climbers up behind coaches, chariots, landaus, berlins, barouches, drouskis, cabriolets, &c. &c. &c. But there is another crying evil, to which we would draw le gislatorial attention, and that is the frivolous and vexatious cry of 44 cut, cut behind," which is often raised when in fact there is no one behind. This may justly indeed be styled a 64' crying evil." The coachmen whips away to no purpose, or possibly to the damage of the var nish, or to the detriment of his whip, and the master almost breaks his neck in straining out of window to see who has got up behind, while the raggamuffins enjoy the hoax, and laugh at their betters ! We contend that the positive evil of an urchin, or of a man of fourteen or fifteen stone behind a carriage, is not greater than the evil of the vain apprehension excited in the minds of both master and man by this vexatious cry. For the former offence The New Times proposes the correction of the dark hole for boys of five years old, and the tread mill for old boys; under our " Cut, Cut-behind Act" we would propose a punishment by no means less severe ; for when we are about law making, we would not be out-done in the busi ness by another, be he who he may. Our con temporary states, that in his proposed Act he would recommend that the street-keeper be hound to stop every carriage the moment that any individual gets up behind it, and to take the offender, whether young or old, before a Magis trate, to be punished by a fine or impri sonment proportioned to his age or circum stances. 'We would have exactly the same course pursued with the " cut, cut behind" offenders, and it will only be necessary to treble the number of Magistrates, and to increase and multiply street-keepers a hundred fold or so, in order to give effect to either of the proposed remedies for two most crying evils. During the recess of Parliament, it certainly behoves all good subjects to beat the bushes for game for Legisla tors against the next Session ; and a man who turns his mind to making laws for his neighbours, in the course of a day's walk, cannot fail to cut out plenty of work for our Representatives. [NEW TIMES.] Every weekly publication of the Newspapers set up and maintained by the working mechanics presents the power of combination in a fresh light, and with more alarming features. Thus we learn, by Saturday's Paper, that the potters of Staffordshire intend to join " the Grand Union of England"—a body which has at least an im posing name, and if it have but a correspondent force, may be capable of paralyzing the whole manufacturing industry of the kingdom. These potters, who are now holding out against their masters, say, " two delegates waited upon us from Manchester yesterday, requesting us to join their Union : the same delegates are gone to Birming ham, and so on th roug h E n gland."—The Barns ley linen-weave rs have begun to strike upon a new and peculiar principle. The following is the account given of their proceedings :—" The manufacturers having declined so give the ad vance requested, their weavers resolved to strike against one of the houses taken by lot ; and it is their object to oblige each master in the town to raise his wages, by striking against them succes• sively : the house now under proscription i 5 that of 'Messrs. J. Cordieux and Sons."—Where, are those measures to stop? Is it possible that any manufacturing country can long exist as such, where the freedom of contract between master and workman is so entirely subverted ? Delegates are to travel through the country ! Workmen of all classes are to form the Grand Union of England! and masters are to be selected by lot to be put under proscription!! We last week warned the workmen that they might not be altogether safe in devoting their funds, by thousands of pounds, to the support of such mea sures. To this one of their Journalists replies, that " workmen, in contributing to the relief of each other when in distress, are but exercising a virtue common to all mankind." This shuffling, false, and prevaricating excuse will never answer their purpose. Neither in law nor in common sew.. can it hold water for a moment. They do not contribute to relieve distress ; they coutri bute to support confederacy ; and the object of such confederacy is to compel masters to form contracts against their will, or to proscribe them if they refuse. True, the late Statute on Combinations says nothing about such pro ceedings, but are they .tolerated by the Common Law ? We think they are not. There is but one honest principle, that the agreement between master and workmaa_shall be free. The work man's labour, his strengh,.his skill, are his pro perty ; the master's ►nn►ta; is his property. The interference of third parties is a fraud upon both, and is likely in the tong run to be more ruinous to the workman than even to the master. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, AUG.. 9. The LoniCHANCELLOR entered the Court before nine o'clock, at which time few Counsel were present. Little business could therefore be done, and his Lordship retired to his private room, sending out occasionally to inquire whether any business was ready. Ile did not return into Court until near 10 o'clock, when he remarked upon the absence of the Learned Gentlemen. EXPARTE CORBETT, IN RE SIR G. P. TURNER. Mr. SIIADWELI. was heard in reply to the petition of Mr. Corbett, which he resisted upon the same grounds as when the application was first made—namely, that Mr. Corbett was con nected with certain individuals, who were dangerous persons, having been already guilty of improper conduct towards the lunatic. Mr. HART replied. Mr. TREsLoVE stated that he had a petition of Mr. Corbett, on behalf of Sir Gregory, praying that he (Sir Gregory) might have legal advice in preparing to traverse the inquisition. It seemed to him (Mr. Treslove) absurd to allege that Sir Gregory had the power to traverse the inquisition, when he had not a shilling in his possession, and his solicitor was forbid access to him. The Loin CHANCELLOR observed, that the property of the lunatic had not been taken from him by any process in this Court. Mr. TRESLOVE observed that Mr. Maberly (the solicitor), who opposed the present application, had all the property of Sir Gregory in his hands. The bORD CHANCELLOR was not acquainted with any case in which confidence seemed to have been so much abused as in that of Sir Gregory Page Turner. His Lordship felt it to be necessary to read all the affidavits; and held it to be his duty to take care that, if Sir Gregory was to be represented at all, he should be properly represented—in other words, with his full concurrence. His Lordship therefore required all the affi davits to be handed to him. He would not prejudge the case; the application might be extremely proper. Mr. SHADIVELL observed, that the petition supported by Mr. Treslove was that to which he had before alluded ; it was unsupported by affidavit, and contained severe and unjust re flections upon Sir George Tuthill. At a subsequent period of the day, the LORD CHANCEL LOR stated that there must have been some misunderstanding with respect to his order on the petition of Lady Turner. It had been referred to the Master to make inquiry as to what was fit to be done; that he had received a letter from some in dividual who seemed to complain that, under present circum stances, the Court should have ordered a provision for Lady Turner. The Court had done no such thing. BLACKBURN V. LORD MANSFIELD AND OTHERS. Mr. HoitNE applied for an immediate hearing of this case; it was one of waste, and was of considerable urgency and im portance. Mr. BICKERSTETH opposed the application. It was ne cessary to send into Cheshire for information. Some delay was therefore absolutely requisite. Ile knew nothing at present of the case. _ _ Mr. lionNE hoped, if any delay took place, an interim in junction would be granted, as hostilities had commenced upon a formidable scale; an armed force had collected, with great guns, small arms, spears, and other weapons. Mr. BICKERS TEm stated that the matter in dispute stood for trial at the present Cheshire Assizes. The case was fixed for hearing on Monday. The Court then proceeded to hear bankrupt petitions. IN RE WADE. This case occupied the whole day, and was only part heard. It was an application tO supersede a commission of bankruptcy issued against Mr. Shuckford Wade, a gentleman of some property in Suffolk. The principal feature in this case was the circumstance that MessrS. Rabett and Mayhew, solicitors, of Saxmundham, Suffolk, had obtained a controul over the pro perty of Mr. Wade, with the ostensible view of extricating him from his pecuniary einbarrassments. They procured from him a deed of trust, in which they were appointed trustees of his estate; they raised money by mortgaging the property so con veyed, and finally struck a docket against Mr. Wade, alleging the execution of the deed as the act of bankruptcy. They were the solicitors under the commission (which they did not open till forty-six days after It had been issued), the solicitors for the petitioning creditor, as well as for the solicitors for the trustees. The LORD CIIANCELLOR expressed some apprehension in the course of the argument as to what would be the result of superseding the commission in this case. Not only had Messrs. Rabett and Mayhewplaced themselves in a very awkward situ tion, but the mortgagees on the trust estates. The argument on' behalf of Messrs. Rabett and Mayhew, and their co-trustees, will proceed to-morrow. NEW BRIDGE OVER. THE RIVER WYE.-On Monday last the ceremony of laying the founda tion stone of a new bridge, to be erected over the river Wye, a little above Bigswear, took place in the presence of a very respectable meet ing of trustees, and an assemblage of the neigh l)ouring gentry. At two o'clock, the stone, which had been previously prepared, and suspended in the slings, was lowered to the bottom, when J. B. Phillips, Esq. (in the name of Geo. Rook, Esq., the proprietor of the land), proceeded with the usual ceremony to lay the stone ; which having done, he made an appropeiate address, followed by a short but solemn prayer by the Rev. G. Ridgut, for the Divine blessing on the work. After a pause for a few minutes, the whole concluded with the animating cheers of the workmen and visitors. This bridge, which is to consist 'of a single arch of cast iron,l6o feet span, is to be erected in a new line of road now making, to form a communication between the towns of Chepstow and Monmouth. Commencing at the admired village of St. Aryan's, it takes the course of the Wye to Redbrook, and, wind big along its beautiful banks, presents a continu ally varying scene of beauty and grandeur, in cluding the picturesque grounds of Piercefield, the sublime and richly wooded height of Wynd cliff, and the celebrated ruin of Tinteru Abbey. —(Gloucester Journal.) The Commissioners of MARSH'S BANKIMPTCY had a meeting yesterday, at the Rooms in Basing hall-street, when the further dividend was ad journed till the 30th instant. On Monday some surprise was occasioned by the circumstance of the General Postmen conti nuing to ring their bells in the neighbourhood of Charing-cross some time after 6 o'clock. It ap peared that an accident had happened to the mail cart, which had been kicked to pieces by the horse, in the Hay-market, on its way from the western station, by Charing-cross, to the City, whence it was to have returned to the Cross in order to . take in the bags. Owing to this acci dent th e Western bags were transmitted to the City by a hackney coach, while the Strand post men, who knew nothing of the circumstance, were waiting the arrivai of the usual cart. It was at length discovered, but not till after the cus tomary hour, that an accident had happened to the mail cart, and a hackney Coach was accord ingly then engaged by the poattuen to forward their bags to Lombard-street. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MONMOUTH, AI:G. 8. The Assizes for 3lonmouthshire commenced this morning at nine o'clock. Twelve causes were entered for trial, and eight prisoners were charged with felonies, chiefly of a trivial nature ; though one charge of murder appears in the calendar• Ten causes were disposed of to-day, among which the follow ing was the only case deserving of the slightest notice. FALSE IMPRISONMENT.—JAMES V. SWIFT. This was an action by a small farmer residing in the neigh bourhood of Monmouth against Mr. Swift, one of the Bailiff'' of the town, for imprisoning him without lawful cause. It appeared that on the 22d of November the defendant meeting the plaintiff in Monmouth, told him that he had heard there was a top of timber of his (the defendant's) on the plain tiff's premises. The plaintiff denied it, and insisted on know ing the name of his accuser, which Mr. Swift refused to g'i v ' e ' The plaintiff then called Mr. Swift a d—d liar; a nd, on being reminded of the dignity of his office, said, " He cared no more for him than for an apple-dumpling." Swift, on this , ordered him to be conducted to a place of temporary confine ment, called " The Tower," where he was detained from eight till twelve at night, when he was released on the application of his attorney. No charge of any kind was ever prosecuted against him. Mr. LunLow, for the defendant, call witnesses to show that the plaintiff was drunk and abusive, and that he pushed or shoved the Bailiff; and contended that, under these circuit , : stances, his client was justified in the measure which he adopted' Mr. CAMPBELL, in reply, referred the whole irritation ,ma nifested by the plaintiff to the unfounded charge of f e lony mad e against him ; and denied the authority of the bailiff thus _, t° act in his own cause, even if the man whom h e acc used ha" retaliated too violently upon him. Mr. Baron GAnßow gave his opinion, that the plaintiff wa s clearly entitled to a verdict, but recommended the jury t e/ compensate him by temperate and reasonable damages. The Jury immediately found a verdict for the plaintiff'" . Damages SETTING FIRE TO A WOOD. In the Criminal Court, Edward Zone/ was indicted for Ira' liciously and feloniously setting fire to a coppice, called the Beacon Allotment, the property of the Duke of Beaufort, at Treleigh, on the 19th April last. It was proved that in the middle of that day a fire broke out in the wood, and consumed the trees standing on 10 acres of land ; but there was no ev" dence whatever to affect the prisoner, except that he was Seen. going towards the wood about a quarter of an hour before t 1,6 fire, and was observed near it shortly after. No combustible was found, nor any other circumstance of suspicion s uggested. Mr. Justice BuRROUGH declined to call on the prisoner fof his defence, as there was nothing against him, and he directo an acquittal. Mr. Cnoss, in applying for costs, observed, that though there was certainly nothing against this man, the prosecutO was rendered necessary by the frequency of fires kindled amovg the woods of the neighbourhood in order to destroy them. The Learned JUDGE allowed the expences. CROYDON, TUESDAY, AUG. 9. aftit Ilanna Sturge, a single woman, was indicted for the vr., murder of her female illegitimate child, at Lambeth, on 18th of March, by suffocation in a privy. Second count charg the prisoner with concealing the birth. Mr. THESIGER, who conducted the prosecution, stated. 0 the outset, that he proposed to abandon the capital charge, lna asmuch as he was in no condition to prove that the child n r born alive. The jury would therefore have to confine th e attention to the charge of concealment. Mr. LAW conducted the defence. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner (who was in e l ) ; deepest distress during her trial) was a charwoman ; lodged at the house of a gardener, named Turner, in Lark -h a f, lane, Lambeth. For some time previous to the 18th of llar c i i; her landlady had observed that she was pregnant. The beat' of the parish also taxed her as to her condition .and War tle i her to leave the parish, lest she should bring-a condition, ne e ; Lambeth, to which she did not belong. She, however, dens her pregnancy. On the 18th of March, the prisoner, in 6tes e , of going out to her daily work, as usual, remained at il° 111 1) :. In the course of the morning Mrs. Turner's (laughter served her carrying something in a pail to the privy, ta„,r t with her a birch broom. About twelve o'clock Mrs. T'l r " - h.. who had been out, came home ; and learning from her d3og r , ter what she had observed, asked the prisoner what had.btisch pened to her; and remarking that her shape was very 19 1 .i,e altered, taxed her with having disposed of her infant. ,he prisoner said nothing had happened to her, and denied t ha Vitj had had an infant. Upon being farther pressed, she adg l io to that she had become a mother, and bad thrown the chi ! " " w as the privy. In consequence of this information the Prill,an searched, and the child found ; the birch broom above .-7hocii, tioned having been used for the purpose of pushing thq .• • into the soil.
