obtained her livelihood by waaiag and charing, wen charged
before Mr. D'Epicourt, os remand, at the instuoe of the
perish authorities of St. Mary. labagton, with denoting her
child, whereby it had become chargeable to that parish.
It will be remembered that the prisoner was charged at
this court with attempting to murder her illegitimate child
by choking it. She was committed to Neste for trial, and,
being found_ guilty, was sentenced to !Rees years' papa
eirvitude. When at the prison she made favour with some
ladies, pretending to cry and be very sorry, and they so inter-
ested themselves in her favour they rot her seotence remitted
before she bad suffered twelve months' imprieootnent. On
the day that she was released from prison she west to the
workhouse and took out her child ; but it was only out of
the house a few days before it was found deserted on a door-

the °dicers had been cm the look out for her for nearly
twelve months. The prisoner could well have supported

no go to the workhouse and take the child out the same weak
that she was apprehended. It was not her wib to leave
her child, and when she got married she told her husband
that she had a child in the workhouse, end he mid she was
to take it out and brig it home.
Mr. D'Eyncourt said it was evident that the leniency that
had been shown the prisoner had been thrown away. Her
=duct to her child had been disgraceful, and he should
mark hi genie of her undue' by sanding her to the House
of Correction with bard labour for three calendar mouths.
The prisoner, who maned rather surprised at the deci-
sion, was then removed.
