After three days' trial, Margaret Waters, • woman
35, was on Friday found guilty of the wilful to:l,ler cit
• chili named Cowan. Tao jury were taissul.ing for
neatly an hour
The evidencu she wed p1.z013.1" &doer !mod f chiir.n

• premium of Ed or .1:5 with truth. Ainoret the reat was
the child Cowan, which it was alleged, died Loci the
effects of the eytem of starvation pursued by the pr.soner
towards bee unhappy charges. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine,
Mr. Poland, end Mr. Beasley appeared for the prosecu-
tion, on behalf of the Crown; and Mr. &Moe and Mr.
Peter defended the prisoners.
The prisoner said the statements made as to the eon•
dition of the children were exaggerated. She was
sorry that she had been led into • life of deceit and
falsehood, bet guilty of minder she was not in the
remotest —she was as innocent as a babe unborn
of such at=
Lord Chief Baron Kelly, in passing sentence, said :
"Margaret Waters, the painful and terrible duty is
Imposed upon Inc of pulsing 'mitotic.) of death upon
you. You hive been coovieted after • trial lasting
nearly three days, during which the jury have patiently
calmly, and deliberately investigated the ease—of the
greatest crime that can be committed by any human
being. You undertook the charge of this poor innocent
ehiid, and while it was in your oars sod keeping, by
the conduct which you adopted to wards it, by year
shameful and seandaloas neglect In not providing it
with sufficient food and nourishment, and administer.
of to it druss cdoulated to put an end to its life, in sie-
ving it the chance of any medical attendanoe, you
have centred the early, premature death of this Innocent
child. If there be any truth in the statement you have
made or if for any other imam you are entitled to the
mercy of any other earthly tribunal, you must appeal
to another tribunal than this, for I have no power to
alter the sentence which it is my duty to pass upob
yea. I fear that in addition to this poor child others
have became the victims of your Gruel inhumanity.
Those other poor children, four in number, at least three ,
of them have been done to death through you end thew
by whom you were assisted. It is Deemeary that the
strong arm of the law should windiest., the justice eif the
country and take up the cause of them poor helpleas
and ienooent children. It grieves me to be obliged
to address you in these words—the last you will ever
hear in a wort of jost'er ; hitt it remains for me
to pais the °please of toe last upou you.
The sentence of the court is that you be taken taped to
the place from whence you tame, and themes, at a day
to be appoiated, to the place of auseution, and there be
hanged by the neck till you are deed; and the Lord
have mercy upon your soul."
His lordship was greatly afforded, and shed tears.
The prisoner was then removed from the dos*.
Sarah Ellis, 2rl, who was indicted with Margaret
Waters en the charge of wilful murder and acquitted,
pleaded guilty to the charge of obtaining money by the
false enamels of providing sulliciisat clothing, !cc for
certain children, from various persona, and
spiting with Margaret Wators to dose.
The Lord Chief Baron said prisoner had assisted her
sister in all the offenses, widish for a long time past she
had so remorselessly committed; sad it was only lumen
• terrible:Fre was held out by the sentence which
had been upon Waters, which be hoped would ,
pat as to this nefarious trails, that he forelsore to
pass so severe • sentence upon the prisoner as she so
well deserved, in the hope that being yet young she
would repeat, and amend her warm of life. The ,
sentenes was that she be imprisoned for eighteen mdse. 1
