EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF CHILD 1 LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT MURDER. I On Saturday, an inquest was held before the deputy-. coroner, Mr. Statham, on the body of a child named Ellen Ann Falkner, about three weeks old. ' The cir-i cumstances in connection with the death of the ceased were somewhat extraordinary, as will be. seen: from the subjoined evidence Ann Bullman was t he first witness examined. She said that she was a servant residing at Mrs. Johnston's, 62, Falkner-street. On Wednesday morning last, about half-past.t en o'clock,. there was a knock - at the door, which she answered. On opening. the door, a young girl, apparently about seventeen years of age, gave her a clothes' basket, asking her if she ivould be kind enough to give it to Mr. Knight, a young man who was a lodger in the house. (Witnoss here produced the basket.) She took in the basket, but immediately on doing so heard af rioise,! resembliiu the 'sobbing of a Child: Shn took the basket up to Nfr.- Knight's room, when he asked her whatit WAS. She 'said she didn't know. Mr. Knight: thtm said it had better be- taken down stairs, and perhaps Mrs. Johnston would open it. Mrs. Johnston took off the cover, when a baby was discovered, dressed in night clothes. It was aliVe,but• i •its eyes were closed. •M r . Knight told her_ to go tor a police officer, when officer 281 (Waters) came to the house, and the eircum-itaxces in connection with the case were told to him. Ile then went foi his inspec tor, and in 'a short time after returned with Inspect Southerell. With the consent of the inspector, Mrs. Johnston took the baby out of the basket, and warmed it at the , fire. After getting warmed, it went black in the face, mid appeared to be in pain, with a difficulty in breathing. A • few weeks' ago, ft girl brought to: Mr. Knight two volumes 'of the Ithestrated _Yew , s from the house of a Mr. M'Donald, and witness said that she believed that it, was the same girl who brought the basket: Mr. Knight asked the officer to go with him as far as Mrs.M'Donahrs, in HuskissOn-street, to try if they could find anyone Who had sent it. During their absence, the officer took the child away in his arms, wrapped up in two shawls. Mr..Bedwell, who was present to wzitch the case on behalf of Mr. T(.;—t..c. • • _ . -SAT UR DAY.

Wednesday evening, did her considerable damage. Last evening her how was loose, and she appeared to. be fast breaking up.

Although nothing can be done on board except at low water, every exertion has been made to. save the moveables of the ship.
