CAUTION TO YOUTIL—The pr etice of stripping children of their clothes a pp ears not t Abe confined to mere infants. We understand that an at mpt was made on Tuesday evening, about nine o'clock, 0 the son of a re spectable citizen, a youth about twelft years of a g e, by a man, under the pretext of sendin g him down an inside com mon area-stair, No. 3, East Register-stteet, for the professed purpose of delivering a letter. The boy refused to go the errand, as he suspected the intention of the man, from having read in the newspapers that several children had been stripped under similar circumstances. — Caledonian Mercury. A deputation of the Middlesex Magistrates had an inter view with Sir George Grey, yesterday, at the Home Office upon the subject of juvenile crime. The deputation consisted of Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P. Colonel Thom as W oo d, M.P , Mr. Henry Pownall, Mr. John Wilks, i , , Mr. Benjamin Roach, Mr. James Freshfield , Sir A. Y. 0 404 n, Bart., and Mr. C. H. Cottrell , - ~.. ------...,..- 1 MARCH 13, 1847. SD. Wordsworth defended Gray, and Mr. Charnock, with Mr. llodwell, - appeared for the other prisoner. In this cash the legal evidence was very slight indeed against the prisoners. It appeared they had been keep ing company together, and the result was the birth of a child in the month of November last. This child died on the 11th January following, and the coroner's jury returned a verdict that it died of convulsions. From subsequent inquiries that were made, it was thought proper to apprehend the prisoner Bright, and she then admitted that she had given the child three or four drops of soap liniment, which she said she thought would do it good, and when the body was opened there did not ap pear the slightest trace of death being occasioned by poi son. With regard to the man, the only evidence against iiina was, that he had been keeping company with an other young woman, and that she refused to heve any. thing more to do with him after the female prisoner was delivered of a child by him, and upon this he said, that he would not mind killing the child any more than a sparrow if it was not for the law, and some other ex pressions of a similar character. Mr. CHARNOCK suggested that it would be advisable to call the surgeon as the first witness, and•accordingly, Mr. Bell, surgeon, of Chelmsford, was examined, and his evidence tended to show that there was no proof of the child having died from any other than natural causes. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE upon this stopped the case, and the jury, uncler his Lordship's direction, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. MIDLAND CIRCUIT. —Nottingham, March 11. The commission was opened th►s morning in the Shire hall, at hall-past ten o'clock, by Mr. Baron Parke and Mr. Justice Pattewn, their Lordships having been met at Lady Baybridge, and escorted into the town by John Vero,....uf Carlton-upon-Trent, Esq., Uigh Sheriff, and a numerous retinue of attendantii, officers, and javelin men. The calendar for the county contains 17 prisoners— one for shooting with intent to do some grievcius bodily harm; one for poisoning ; one for stabbing, cutting, wounding, and maiming; ono for sheep 7 stealing; one for killing and slaying; one Tor highway robbery; and the others for minor offences. . In the town calendar there are also 17 prisoners—two for forgery, one highway robbery, and the rest for larceny. Among the prisoners in the town is Emmanuel White, a well-known Chartist, who is charged with forgery. After Mr. Justice PATTESON had opened the commis sion in the Borough Court, he called attention to the case of White in his charge to the grand jury. There are nine causes and one special jury case on the civil side, some of which are said to be of considerable interest. An indictment is about to be preferred, at the instance of the Commissioners in Lunacy, against a per son of the name of Large, lately a keeper in the Lunatic Asylum, having been guilty of alleged gross neglect in leis duty. Some weeks ago a person of the name of Doubleday was removed to the asylum, after attempting self-destruction, and committed to the care of Large, with strict injunctions on no account to leave him, as he was predisposed to commit suicide. Large undertook the patient; but instead of remaining with him, he went out of the room between eleven and twelve at night (the very first night of Doubleday bring in the asylum), to get his tea. He remained for a considerable length of time boiling his kettle, making his tea, &c. On his re turn he found the patient had been out of bed, torn up his shirt, tied it round his neck, and attaching it to the bed post, hung himself. Ile was quite dead. Amongst the causes to be he-ard in the County Court is one which, if not settled in quick time, may let out some of the Nottingham election secrets, as it is an action by Mr. Flower, to recover an election bill agaMst Sir John Hohhouse. Their Lordships attended Divine service at St. Peter's Church, where an admirable sermon was preached by the Rev. Roger Pocklington, of Wa Sheriffs' chi p. lain, and immediately afterwards proceeded to the County Hall, and in both courts tried the prisoners in the town calendar, Mr. Baron Parke sitting in the Nisi Prins, and Mr. Justice Patteson in the Crown Court. NURT HERA G U.l York, March 11. (Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) Joshua Sharp, aged 39, a woolstapler, was pat on his trial on a charge of forgery of a conveyance of land. Mr. Overend (Mr. Hardy with him) stated the ease for the prosecution, and called John Harrison, the prosecutor, a man 82 years of age, who said—flive at Brainley. I know the prisoner. His wife is my sister's daughter. Her maiden name was Sarah Haste. I have land (between five awl six acres) at Bradley Hill. I never conveyed it away. I never gave any deed respecting it to the prisoner. I cannot write. I never put my mark to any deed for the pri soner. He once wanted me to put my mark to some thing, but I wanted some one to see it that understood it. I did not see what it was. I wouldn't say nothing. I never put a mark of nooakind nether to that nor nowt use. I never saw it (the deeds of lease and release, which were attached together), before last October. I never had any conversation with the prisoner about dis posing of my land at Bradley Hill. I have had it 37 years. I have never disposed of it in favour of the pri soner's wife. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Wmarrs—lt is happen (perhaps) tour or five weeks since I. made my will. Betty truant wor (was) happen there. She is my brother's daughter. tier husband first told me of this deed. I have another piece of land of 1 acres, in the same parish, with four houses upon it;"in one of which I live. I lent the prisoner 100/, when he married. I never intended his wife to have that land, or any part of it. Richard Sugden, formerly a worsted manufacturer, examined— I was at the rrisoner's :even years ago last June. My partner, Abraham Marsden, was there too. George Haley was sent for. When he came the prisoner asked if we would sign a parchment document (the deeds of lease and release). It was not opened out. The pri• soner said, "It's all right.; it purports to be a deed of gift from my old uncle to his niece " (prisoner's wile), so I then signed it (both). There was, no other person present. I also signed this (the memorial). I did not see the seal on it. I cannot tell whether it was on or not. After it was signed the prisoner folded it up im mediately, and took it up stairs, from whence he had fetched it. I saw Haley and Marsden sign it. Haley went away directly when he had signed. As he went away the prisoner opened a door, and an aged man en tered the room in which we were. He was deaf. The prisoner said to the old man, " It's all right, uncle." He said that in a loud voice, and then in a lower ho said to Marsden and me, " This is the uncle that is making the property to my wife." The witness Harrison is not that man. Cross-examined—The old man did not say " Very well " when the prisoner said " It's all right. The mat ter (the signing) was not mentioned to the 'old man. I and Marsden had gone to the prisoner's about business It was done in a hurry, and 1 was more occupied with oar own business than the signing of the deed, and I had iorkot that I had done such a thing till the present question was started in October last. The deed was nut on the table when the old man came in. I never saw the witness Harrison till October last. I knew at the moment he was not the old man who had come into the room. By the JUDGE—I have never seen that old man before or since. Abraham Marsden corroborated the last witness. I did not see the mark or seal on either of the deeds or on the memorial. I did not know the old man that came in. I have never seen him since. Harrison is not that man. George Haley, a schoolmaster, the other attested wit ness, corroborated the other witnesses as to the signing, and added, that the words, " Signed, sealed, and deli vered by the said John Harrison," were not there when they signed the deeds, nor the words, " Lease fur a year.' Betty Guant said the prisoner's wife showed her the deeds in October last. The prisoner was not at home. She read them over. I gave information to the prase cutor, and to the constable. After he had been examined on this charge, before he was taken from the rosin, the prisoner said it was a forged deed; it was his father Haste's doing. He said he would do anything if they would get Harrison to make it up. He said the tame several times over. Cross-exatnined—She expected to have part of the land. E. Sharp—The prisoner's wife asked me to take the deeds to him at York Castle (he was then in the prison on some other charge). I told him an offer had been made to induce him to give them up. He declined, and requested her to retain possession of them till his return home. Cross-examined—No part of the attestation WIIS in the prisoner's handwriting. The seals of the deeds Were the seals of the late Mr. Lister, who was the pri soner's solicitor. Mr. Baron ROLFE told the jury. that the prisoner was charged with having forged the deed, which gave the estates to the priSoner himself for life ; after his death to the prisoner's wife for life, with remainder to the • prisoner and his heirs. He said there had been nu uttering, and the only question, therefore, was, were they satisfied that the prisoner forged the' deeds. On this point, was the old man's testimony given in such a manner that they could place implicit reliance on it ? He then made some remarks ou the attesting witnesses having attested the deeds without having, ace con'ing to their present account, seen it actually exe cuted. He said that, on his examination before the magistrates, Sugden had sworn that the deeds were lying folded up on the table when the old man came into the room. He had also sworn that the old man was like Harrison, but that he was not sure whether it was he or not. His Lordship also told the jury, that as the deeds had been prepared, it was highly probable th a t the words " signed, sealed," &c., were put on before they left his office ; but his Lordship did not tell the jury, nor did Counsel remark on the absence of the words " being first read over to him," whi c h th e at testation ought to have contained, as Harrison marksmdn, and would have contained, h a d the deedswbacs-ena executed in the presence of; r the attestation drawn by, a lawyer. The jury retired, and after being absent some time, returned into Court, and gave a verdict of Not Guilty. At Verviers some disturbances took place on the sth, in consequence of the announcement of the tax on bread. Although there has been no fresh outbreak, there is still considerable agitation. SPANISH AMERICAN BOND HOLDERS. - notary pub!ir, was brought be6le . the Lord Mayor on suspicion of having stolen a bill of ex change for the sum of 291.135. 6d., which had been placed in a desk in the office of his master. The prosecutor said that on Tuesday morning, the 9th inst., the prisoner and another porter of the house and himself were in the premises, when one of the clerks, who had the bill in his care, went upon basiness to Glyn's banking-house, leaving it behind on the desk. About five o'clock the bill was mond, and it was foUnd to have been taken to a bank ing -house at which it was made payable, and to have been honoured. A clerk in the Accountant-General's office in the .Bank of England produced two cancelled Bank of England notes, the one for 20', and the other for 51, numbers 5,164 and 39,761, v. Bich bad been paid into the Bank on the 9th of March. A cleik in the issue department of the Bank stated that on the acme day he paid twenty-five sovereigns for the two notes. He remembered having made the payment, but he did not know to whom. He fancied that two persons called with the notes. Mr. Newton's clerk identified the bill produced as one which he had placed with others in his drawer, about a quar ter before nine o'clock on Tuesday. He went out, leaving the prisoner, another porter, and another clerk in the office, having first renewed and entered the Bill for 291. 13s. 6d. in the book. In the evening of the same day he missed the bill by checking the bankers' book. A clerk at Messrs. Jones, ,Lloyd's banking-house, stated that the bill had been presented on Tuesday morning, at the counter, for payment, but he did not know by whom, and paid. Trew, the officer, said that at half-past three o'clock on Thursday, he took the prisoner into custody in the bar of a publichouse, reading a newspaper. Upon being told that he must go to his master, and being taken hold of he said "Do'nt collar me, I know all about it.' Witness told him he was charged with having stolen 29/. from his master, and he then said he knew nothing at all about. it. Upon being taken into the presence of his master, who told him in witness's pre sence, that his handwriting could be sworn to, he said " If that's the case, it's little use for me to say anything." Upon being asked where he had slept the night before, he said at the Saracen's Head, but he refused to tell where he had slept on the night of the day on which the bill had been stolen. No more money was found in his possession, than 7s. 6d. The prisoner, who hung down his head during the exami nation, was remanded till Wednesday. - We have received copies of additional correspondence between Colonel Yturreguy, the Peruvian Minister in London, and the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders. Under date 15th of February, the Chairman of the Committee ad dressed Colonel Yturreguy, to know if be was prepared, on behalf of his Government, to make the long-promised com munication regarding an adjustment of the Peruvian debt. In reply, Colonel Yturreguy, under date 18th of February, stated that he had received a communication from the Peru vian I , linister for Foreign Affairs, recommending that the committee should send an agent to Lima to conclude such arrangement as might be found practicable, and desiring him, if the committee objected thereto, to acquaint the Peruvian Government, "in order that it might adopt the necessary measures"—a point of information which he, the Colonel, had already transmitted (under date 16th of January), in consequence of an intimation he had previously received from the committee; that it was not practicable for them to take 'the proposed course. Under these circumstances, the Chair. man addressed to Colonel Yturreguy the following further communication : " 13, Austin-friars, Feb. 26, 1847. " Sir,—On behalf of the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders, I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your Excellency's letter of the 18th inst. " The committee regret extremely the unsatisfactory nature of the. communication. They are under the necessity in consequence of taking the liberty to point out to your Excellency the position of the foreign debt of Peru in this country. _ _ " Upwards of twenty years have now elapsed since any dividend has been paid to the bondholders. On the 13th of "May, 1842, the Peruvian Consul in London transmitted to the committee a copy of the decree of the Government of Peru, dated at Lima, 15th of January, of that year, of which the following is a translation : Mere follows the decree to the effect that the Peruvian Republic would cause to be deposited in the Bank efEngland one-half of the net proceeds arising to the republic from the sale of guano in Europe to form a fund towards the liquida tion of the foreign debt, and that pending this accumula tion the Government would send a commissioner to the bond holders in London to arrange the mode of payment of their entire claims.] "In a further communication from the same Consul, dated May 21, 1842, he stated, in answer, to an inquiry from the committee, that the amount to be derived from the guano contract fcr the purposes of the dividend would altogether depend upon the successful introduction and value of this article cf manure amongst agriculturists in Great Britain and other countries. " On the 10th of November, 1843, in reply to an inquiry from this :committee as to whether any fuuds had been deposited in the Bank of England, and whether any steps had been taken to carry into effect the other part of the decree of the 15th of January, 1842, the Consul wrote as follows : " In reply to your letter of the 6th instant, I beg to in form you that no funds have been deposited in the Bank of England according to the first article of a decree of the Peru vian Government, dated the 15th of January, 1842; neither has any sum whatever come into my hands for that or any other purpose on account of the Government. lam also un informed of any steps having yet been taken in compliance with the second article of the said decree, towards arranging the settlement of the whole debt. ' I regret to say that Peru has again been afflicted since the date of that decree with a succession of revolutionary movements and domestic conflicts, which have been attended by various changes of Government and measures, and I re main, in fact, without communications from the Minister or authorities relative to the loan of later date than the decree referred to, or any other subject even of a more recent period than the 29th of July, 1842.' " Matters remained in this state until the arrival of your Excellency in this country. The committee were in the meantime continually expecting that as soon at the' political condition of Peru should become more settled a representa tive of the Peruvian Republic would be dispatched to this country. In the month of July last, I bad the honour, in company with some other members of the committee, of an interview with your Excellency, the result of which inter view was that your Excellency undertook to communicate with the Peruvian Government in such a manner as you trusted would lead to a satisfactory arrangement of the fo reign debt. 4- Seven months have now elapsed since the date of that in terview, and the only information which the committee now receive from your Excellency is an invitation from the Go vernment of Peru to send an agent to Lima to arrange with the Government the adjustment of this debt. In the meanwhile the bondholders have seen that the article of guano, upon the suscessful consumption of which in this country the immediate means of the Government to meet the charge of its foreign debt were stated mainly to depend, has found complete acceptance in this country, and has been introduced into general consumption at a remunerating price. " Permit me, sir, on behalf of the committee and the long-auffering bondholders, respectfully to place before yon the following considerations : " 1. That the Government of Pern borrowed this money in London; that the interest thereon is payable in London; and that, consequently, it is in this city alone that any pro positions should be made for adjusting the liquidation of that debt. "2. That the Committee have no authority from the bondholders at large to dispatch an agent to Peru, nor any funds wherewith to bear the expenses of such a mission. "3. That no individual, or body of men, has the power to compromise the rights of the bondholders. It is the duty of the committee, as representing their interests, to confer with any representative of Peru on suitable terms of adjust ment, and to bring such terms to the consideration of the bondholders; but the ultimate decision thereon must rest with the bondholders themselves. "4. That the Republic of Peru is bound not only by every obligation of public honour, good faith, and integrity to proceed without delay to the adjustment of its foreign debt, but by the special promise to do so contained in its decree of the 15th of January, 1842. "5. That the produce of the article of guano notoriously furnishes the Government with ample means for doing so. " I need add nothing to enforce the weight of theses on siderations. Your Excellency must see that there is no ground of equity or justice on which the adjustment of this matter can any longer be postponed, and that the Govern ment of Peru, after having five years since engaged to send a commissioner to London to effect this arrangement, should now, when it has its official representative in this capital, invite the bondholders to send an agent to Lima to effect the adjustment there, is a course of proceeding which could not have been looked for at its hands.—l have, &c., " G. IL ROBINSON, " Chairman of the Spanish American Bondholders. " To Colonel Yturreguy, &c." Z.e z 7/77, POLICE ELM NcE, MANSIOIV-HO E. 6 / , Henry I,7wrencr, a young man in he employment of Mr. Newton, of Bireitin-lane, notary was brnmAt ADDRESS OF THE COMMITTEE .- ----_ Many praiseworthy but ineffectual attempts have been made to bring within the scope and operation of the laws of raw tAlity and money the savings of the industrious classes, as well as various cal culations regulating their distribution, having for their object either immediate, contingent, or deferred benefits. A slight examination, however, will demonstrate that the con struction of these associations or societies is defective; and that in stead of affording an easy access and a free - choice of investment, which should be the privilege of every one, they confine too nar rowly the channel through which a benefit can alone be secured ; and, in proportion as their action is circumscribed and embarrassed, their utility is limited. For example, it is not to every individual, or to every class amongst the industrious community, that provision in case of sickness is an object of such importance as to call for a pecnniary sacrifice ; while to others such a provision appears more attractive, and the loss of employment caused by sickness is a risk against which they desire to be guarded. For this anomalous state of things there is an effective and simple remedy ; that is to say, instead of covering, by one weekly or annual payment, two or more contingent or deferred benefits, so to arrange it that each separate benefit should have its separate contribution. It is to not having observed this rule, and to the association of two dissimilar functions, and by confounding a sick a►lowance and a•t annuity fund in one and the self-same payment, that much of the evils and mismanagement has arisen amongst Benefit Societies. No mechanism can be so perfect for the management of a sick ; ess-fund provision as that afforded by the constant sectional asso ciation and watchfulness of the several members composing it. By this means a thorough and constant check is mutually exercised, and none but the really sick are likely to become chargeable upon it But the same perfection, or the same security. is seldom attainable where a fund is to be accumulated through a succession of years, and where results are to boar out calculations, mosey. investment being hi general beyond the experience °film industrious classes. For these reasons it is clear that the fends destino.l :or a provision in sickness should be kept entirely distinct from the f..nd intended as a provision for old age :- Ist Because the laws of sickness and mortality, though apparently connected, do not depend on the same calculation... 21. Because there are a great number who, in order to secure a larger provision in old age are willing to .take the risk of providing for probable sickness on themselves.. 3d. Because the responsibility of managing.a provision for old age, continued to a distant period is, in a great measure, incompatible with voluntary associations, fluctuating laws, and individual irre sponsibility, and more exposed to a failure in the performance of such a contract, that when undertaken on the same principles that ordinarily govern commercial todie:. 4th. Because the expenses of providing for sickness must, when united in the same payment with provision for old age, tend to dimi nish still more this provision : nor is it wisdom or good policy to en danger the one for the sake of the other. Impressed with these convictions, and with an intimate knowledge of the discussions passing within the bosom of many of the existing Friendly and Benefit Societies, the parties whose names aro here unto attached, have had several meetings, with a - view of proposing or adopting a remedy for those and other evils ; and in this manner to give an ad litional force to • the principles of brotherhood, unity, and mutual aid, on which friendly societies are based, by guarding them from the risks of sudden dissolution. Atter much diligent search amonAt the combinations ingeniously proposed from time to time for the attainment of one of the principal objects of Friendly and Benefit Societies, they have found none equal In simplicity and comprehensiveness of design, as well as forethought and sympathy for the wants of the industrious classes, as the plan proposed by the National Lo-us Fund Life Assurance Society. It is true that the author of that plan has furnished an argument against provision in sickness; but, without concurring in the immediate ex pediency otiabandonitig a provision in sickness. no one can read the other par t of the plan itself. without being fully . sa'isfled that the conven ence and safety of. Fr:endly and Benefit Societies will be greatly secured and consulte I, by separating the payment of a sick allowance from an annuity for bid age.

The eminent pianist, Mr. Cohan, gave a grand entertain ment of this class at his residence in Soho-square, on Thurs day evening. The company was fashionable and exceedingly numerous, and was evidently composed of persons who had the most perfect appreciation of the art which they were assembled to patronise. Indeed, the rapid advaece of high musical taste amongst us is in no way more remarkably manifested than in the extemporaneous criticisms, and judi cious fervour (if one may so speak) of the visitors at those musical r eunwns, which are becoming more and more in vogue every season. The professor on this occasion was supported by a large number of professional artkta, but our space will not allow us to go in detail though the particu lars of his very rich programme. Miss Lee, Miss Williams, Miss Isaacs, alai Miss King, with Mr. Maurice Davis, Mr. Lee, Mr. John Cohan, and tr. Mingard, were very much applauded and repeatedly encored in their several performances. A prominent feature of the evening's entertainment was the introduction of several f Mr. Cohan's rung pupils, some of them young ladies from seven to ten years of age, whose powers of execution, brilliancy, and ex pression upon the pianoforte surpassed anything we have met with amongst the infant perfbrmances upon this instrument, who have, however justly, been produced in public as phenomena. A young lady, Miss Levesque, not more than ten years of age, performed some of the most difficult fan tasies of her 'very difficult master with precision, delicacy, expression, and power, to which it would be impossible to do justice in terms which might not appear to be exagge rated. The same remark applies to the perfotremwahniceeseodfiet young Greek gentleman, Master Mavrogosjani, " The Revolution o t i f ne ,k i r t e is e h e is fatherepprAelprriaCoelhya dedicated.rea t Nvo a h e i e m n s a ll a f performed for the first time in public his last e iu u E tgnimeanjtor, of welhlicphreifnesethioenanins aeunidmous and loudly exp re s se d j amateurs to throw into the s h a d e a ll his lorm e rpredu e ton presents These , is h es e l i h k a e N ly e been remarkable to a great extent for their brilliancy of effect— this for its classical structure, grand expression, and profound inspiration.

The sonata asasheasra every characteristic of the great master, to whose school Mr. Cohan of right belongs, as the pupil of Rees, who was Beet hoven's only pupil, except the present King of Prussia. Cohan's sonata cannot fail to make a great impression on the musical world, being totally different from a 1 that he has hitherto produced. Mr. Cohan performed several pieces on the violin in the couse of the evening; in a style which proved that he is even more if, master of that "sweet entrancing viol" than of even the pianoforte itself. lie was most ably accompanied on the latter by Mr. Maurice Davis. The delighted company separated at a late hour. A deputation, including 11ir. Campbell of Islay, Mr. Ram say, and Mr. Gibb, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, yesterday , at his official residence in Down ing-street. 4 .! - ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT,—Chelmsford, March 12. THE POISONINGS AT CLA.VERING.—Atthe conclusion of the former trial the jury were challenged by the Counsel for the prosecution, and it was some time before a fresh jury could be empanelled. At a late hour the prisoner aas again arraigned upon another indictment, charging her with the wilful murder of James Chesham, another of her children, by means of poison. The same counsel were engaged in the case. The evidence was precisely the same as on the former trial, with the addition that it was proved there was a much larger quantity of poison in the stomach of the deceased child than appeared in that of his brother. Mr. Sergeant JONES again made a most able and forcible address to the jury, commenting upon the ab sence of all direct proof that the prisoner had ever been in possession of any poison, and also calling their attention to the fact that had been deposed to by all the aitnessces, that the prisoner had always borne the cha racter of a most kind and affectionate mother, and that therefore it was most improbable, if not indeed impos sible, that she should have perpetrated such a diabolical act, as to murder two of her children, without there ap pearing to be any assignable motive for it. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up, said the case was a very proper one to be fully inquired into, as it appeared perfedtly clear that there had been two most mysterious deaths by poison within a very short period, and the question for the jury was, whether the evidence made out that the prisoner was the person who adminis tered that poison. The jury, after deliberating for some time, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. At the sitting of the Court this morning, Thomas Newport, the person whose name was alluded to in the former trials, and who, it appears, is a farmer, and a man . of some property at Clavering, surrendered in discharge of his hail, and to plead to an indictment that had been returned against him by the grand jury. The indictment alleged that Sarah Chesham had un lawfully administered to Solomon Taylor, the illegitimate child of one Lydia Taylor, .a large quantity of poison, or some other deadly ingredient unknown, and that she did thereby kill and murder the said child, and Thomas Newport was charged with a:ding, coun selling, and abetting her in the commission of the felon) and murder. The defendant pleaded not guilty. He was also arraigned upon an indictment for misde • rl3 eanour arrisiug out of the same charge, and to this he also pleaded not guilty. It was then stated that an arrangement had been made that the trial should stand over until the next assizes, and he was liberated upon entering into a reco2,nizance in the sum of 4001., and finding two sureties in 2001. each. Sarah Chesham was then placed at the bar to take her trial as the principal in the murder of Solomon Taylor. The prisoner, who appeared quite colleted, and ex hibited almost indifference to the result during the whole of the proceedings, was seated during the trial. Mr. M. Chambers, Mr. Wordsworth, and Mr. T. Chambers conducted the case for the Crown. Sergeant C. Jones and Mr. Charnock again appeared for the prisoner. Mr. M. Cisamneas, in opening the case for the prose el/time called tipan the jury to dismiss from their minds all that they alight heve hea-d, or that had come out on the evidence in the inquiry regarding the two former charges. The only object of those who conducted the prosecution was to endeavour to ascertain the truth, and they had no desire that any prejudice which might be created by former proceedings should at all affect the prisoner. He therefore requested the jury only to pay attention to the evidence that would be produced in support of the:specific charge against the prisoner, of hay ing, by means of poison, or some other deadly ingredient, caused the death of an infant called Solomon Taylor, and he would proceed to lay before them' the evi dence upon which that charge rested. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state the nature of the evi dence against the prisoner, and which will be found in the following narrative, it being more intelligible in that form :—lt appeared that in the commencement of the year 1845, Lydia Taylor, the mother of the deceased infant, went into the service of Mrs. Newport, who car ries on the business of a farmer, at Clavering, her affairs being managed by her. sou, Thomas Newport, who was included as an accessory in the present indictment. There appeared to be no doubt that this Thomas New port carried on an improper intimacy with the prisoner Chesham, who, as has already been stated; is a married woman, her husband being a labourer, employed by another branch of the Newport family. Very soon after Lydia Taylor came into the service Newport seduced her, and she became in the family way, and the moment the fact was discovered by her mistress 'she discharged her, and she went home to her mother's house at Ma nuden, a village in the neighbourhood of Clavering. Newport never appeared to deny the paternity of the child, and for some time. he gave money to the mother. The child was born on the 16th of December, 1845, and was apparently a healthy infant, and the mother and the child continued to reside at the house of the mother of the former, at Manuden, Thomas Newport continually, as above stated, sending money to Lydia Taylor for her support. It seemed that while she was in the service of Mrs. Newport, the pri soner, Sarah Chesham, had been in the habit of coming to the house, but she hardly knew her, and about a month after the birth of the child, the mother was somewhat surprised at the prisoner coming to her mother's cottage to see her, and she then condoled with her upon her situation, and made some observations con demnatory of the conduct of Thomas Newport towards her, and she at the same time caressed the child, and ap peared to be' very fond of it. The prisoner paid a second visit to the mother, and, upon her saying that she was surprised at it, and that she had nothing to give her, the prisoner said; he wanted to take nothing from her, but she had brought her something, and gave her a rice pud ding, an apple tart, some tea, and other articles. Upon this occasion the prisoner took the baby from the mother, and said she would feed it. The mother told her it had been fed, and did not require anything, but the prisoner persisted in taking the child down stairs, and when Lydia Taylor went dOwn after her in a few moments, she saw her in the act of wiping her fingers down her gown, and there was _an appearance round the child's mouth, as though it had been fed, and it also appeared to have been sick. The prisoner, it appeared, fed the child a second time in this day, and immediately after she had done so the infant's lips and face assumed the expression as if something nauseous had been administered to,it, and the prisoner herself exclaimed, " My God, Lydia, it has tensed as callow as a rat." The mother asked her what, she had been giving the child, and she replied," only some sugar." The mother then observed that the child's lips looked very slimy and while, and it vomited, and it was with considerable diffi culty that she could wipe the stuff from its mouth and face. From time to time it appeared that the child was continually ill, and never recovered. Upon this (Tea• sion, when the prisoner left, she repeated her protesta tions of friendship to the mother of the child, and in vited her to her own cottage, and it appeared that she did go there to,visit her, and while she was there took the child in her arms, and 'aid that its father would soon be there. A man was at this time observed veel csraniaCross the fields towards the house, an d was Newport, and she wanted th e motheranp d r insoteor go said i a nd t meet him. She refused to do so, stairs. th Ate prisenerthis s natched up the child and ran down time it would appear the mother entertained some sus picions of the prisoner's conduct towards her child, and she followed her immediately, and on getting down stairs she saw her walking very fast by the side of the field ; and she also observed her again wiping her fingers down her dress, and the child appeared to have been sick, and some sort of food was round its lips. She asked the prisoner what she had given to the child, and she replied that she had only given it a sucker, or some sweetmeat, for it to suck. The mother took the child away, and when she got home she observed some spots upon the child's dress, and when it was afterwards washed these places became holes, and it appeared as though some corrosive substance had been throw upon the dress to cause that effect. The child after this appeared again to be very ill, and the same night, when the Pri Boner accompanies her part of the way home, the mother a second time saw the prisoner put something into the child's mouth, and observed that it was sick immediately afterpards, and during the greater part of the following night the child was very sick and in convulsions. In June 1846, the mother went to service, leaving her child in the charge of her mother, at Manuden, and it seemed that the prisoner went to the mother's house, and she was then observed to give the child something, which ap - peered to make it sick directly afterwards, and it never again appeared to be healthy, but lingered on to- the 27th of September, when it died. At this time it ap= peared that there 'was no suspicion of the child having come to its death unfairly, and it was buried in the usual course ; but it appeared that when the circumstances connected with the death of the prisoner's own children became known, it was deemed advisable that the body of the deceased infant should be exhumed, in order that the stomach s hould undergo a medical examination. This, it appeared, had been done, but no trace of any poison was discovered ; and, in addition to this favour able circumstance for the prisoner, it seemed that there were indications of disease which might have occasioned the death of the infant. The evidence was then gone into, the witness, Lydia, Taylor, being subjected to a most searching cross-exa mination by Sergeant Jones ; she however persisted in the statements she made in her evidence in chief, and they supported in all the material points the opening of the counsel for the prosecution. Professor Taylor was then examined ; and his evi dence negatived entirely the fact of any poison or cor rosive substance being the cause of the death of the infant, and also that; according to his opinion, it might be accounted for by perfectly natural causes. Mr. CUAMBERS. upon this evidence, said he did not think there was s ufficient to justify a conviction; and he therefore withdrew from - the prosecution. The jury accordingly returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Sarah Bright , 20, was indicted for the wilful murder of her illegitimate child, known as David Gray Bright, by administering to it a quantity of laudanum, and David Gray, 21, a labourer, was indicted for feloniously iecitine her to commit the murder.
