CHILD MORDIR.

Emma Matmtt, a merrird woman, was charged with Oa
wilful murder of her male infest, st Me;laud, on the 29,11
of Fs musty.
Mr. Couch appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ducat,
at the request of the learned jaege, undertook the defeats
of the prieGner.

served by her neigaboun to be in the family way. She did
not deny teat she easements*, and stated that: he expect-d
to be confined to May. Oa the often-soon of the 29 k
of February she sent for Mrs. Pressney and Mn
Oakes, two of her neiebbsuis, and requeeted them to
clean up the house. From whet they oteerved, Mr.
Fenn, a 1 teal serreon, impressed his convieti in' after en
earning her, that an had been dedvered of a child. Bhe
at first denied it, bat afterwards opened a box and pro
deiced the dead body of en infant, which she said was sta-
ture. It was a ful.-grewn child. but had sustained seem
injuries on the head. Tke priccipil questions for the jury
were—first, whether the chili was horn alive ; and st co od ly,

fore. 'spookily important.
Mr. keen, surgeon, wee esarained, and having des.ribed
the island on the brad, the state of the lungs, butt, etc.,
he give it as his opinion, termed atter a mod Lintel ii -
'mitigation that the child had been laid down, and
direct violence applied to the left side of the
bead. Toe injuries might have been caused by the old'
brick found by the polioe in the hoes* with Wood and hair •
upon it. The prisoner emit, d that the blood and hair
were those of • rabbit which the bad billed, bat he (Mr.
Fens) had °acidly sustained them within nsicroie the.,
sad found they presented a marked difference to those of a
rabbit. On the whole, be was decidedly of opinion that the
child was born city., and came to its death by violence.
Mr. Dances, another surgeon, gave similar evidence. He
hemmed death wee c mused by part of the patina! bone
ee ng driven into the tr dn. The it juries were too great to
have been produced by • fall.
Further evidence w. s given to show that the priaseer Fat
not provited any baby clothes, and Pickies, a county police
constable, produced a shelf, brick, and piece of wood, which
had bees alluded to in coarse of the trial.
Mr. Desist, for the definer, remarked 'tingly on the
absenos of any appestat motive for the made r. It was as
undoubted medical fast that many women were affected in
the most estreoedieety way, not only durieg their °wane-
meets, but Merles the whole period of gestatioo ; and per-

tionally injured the child. BIN appealed to have behaved

child was tif re alive, and that the oaf 'finnan, prisoner
killed it, then whatever might be tr e CAlleglierins they
mast find her guilty of mutter ; if they thought that it was

of concealing the birth, in order to escape the resp.issitatty
of lading her guilty of murder.
The levy, alt-r a sheet deliberation, returned a verdict of
Wolfri Nattier against the prisoner.
Ine Chef Jetties, in paining sentence, said his duty was
most painful, but at the same time plain and simple. It
would reit with others, in whose hands the mercilol prom-
