EXTRAORDINARY OABR OP ALLEGED CHILD

JICIADEB AT THE EAST END.

An inquiry was bald by Mr. John Humphreys,
wooer for Middlesex, at the White Horse Tama, White
Horse-street, Comemesial-raid, hat night respect=
death of a child which was alleged to have been m
under very singular eirmusetanvea.
Mr. Wildest Daffield, 6 Suffolk-place, Commadal•
road, said that lee was a oonfectioser, mod had • alsop-gbi
named Merle Mart* in his employmest. She appeared
to be • steady reepedshie young woman. Some time mime
Mn.. Dameld eatedeined some suspicions this she min
I endear, sad taxed her with it, but she so indignantly de.
used the imputation that nothing more was thought of the
affair. Last Friday, as she did not come down to the shop
as usual, the servant was seat upstairs for her, but returned,
stating that she oould sot be found. Witham salt for her
friends, sad they marched the hose* melody,
bolds( seder the beds and is all the cupboards, bat without
finding her. They found her bonnet and mantle missies,
and they ooncloded that she must have slipped out of the
hones surreptitiously and committed suicide. Late in the
(mecum however, the servant rushed downstairs saying that
the girl was under the bed upstairs. Thick iog that she had
made away with break' he mut for Dr. Arnold and west
upstairs with him, but she was not under the bed. They
searched the house carefully again, and looked into the
clothes cupboard, but saw nothing. As he wu closing the
door he observed something move, and he then found the
shop girl lyiag tat on the door, and covered over with the
clothes. She was dressed. . .

Dr. G. R. An:idsaid that he was celled in at ten o'clock
last Friday evening, sad he found Maria Martin lying in the
clothes cup/mord. Some one sisatienied his name, and the
girl said, " If it is Dr. Arnold I have no objection to be men
by him." She was asked what had happened her. She
said, "Hen it is," and handed up to witnem a bundle of
Botha containing the body of a male child. When asked
if it was alive, she said she did not
Witness attended to her sad then examined thecbild. It wee
quite dead, and had been born about twelve hones. The
tam was much eompromed from right to left,
and there was • considerable eochymoeie on the
cheeks sod back of the neck. The child had been born
slim and was well grown. It had apparently been placed
in the bundle sad ties leis upon, either designedly or while
the mother was in a faint. The mother took the kindle
from under her, when she handed it to witness. Death re.
suited from suffocation by preware through the mother's
lying on it, and eras aanderatied by hemorrhage arising from
I want of duo attentim.

hfr. Duffirdd said that the girl had been removed from his
house under the ears of the doctor.
The Coroner said that the case was of so serious a tbs.
racter that he should adjourn the inquiry, to allow the per•
son implicated an opportunity of being present before a
verdict was returned, so that she might offer any staternoot
in her defetice.
The inquiry was secordingly adjourned.
