CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.—Tins DAY.
Bohm Mr. Bullock.
W. W ilkirteots, 30, smith, pleaded guilty to two Maki-
ments charging him with uttering forged order for the pay-
ment of money, with intent to defraud MIMI. Hanky end
Co. He was sentenced to be transported for life.

Before Yr. Justice Wichtman.
I. Copeland, 25, butcher, and Eliza Copeland, 29, his
wife, were indieted for the wilful murder of John William
Copeland, their SOD a child fins rare ski, the woman being
charged as a princepal, and the man as an accessory before
the fact. _ _ _

Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clark conducted the prosecution. The
prisonen were defended by Mr. Prendergast.
The counsel for the prosecution, in opening the ease, said
that the authoriti. s had t'ought proper that it should
undergo investigation before ajury, but at the same time
observed that the evidence was not by any means con-
clusive or satisfactory in establishing the guilt of the awned
persona. He then shortly described the facts, and it ap
that the male prisoner was a jobbing butcher, and lived, with
hie wife, In a lasing in the neighbourhood of Halton-garden.
They had two children—the deeeseed, who was about fin
years old, and a girl, who was younger; and it seemed that
the boy had been In an ailing state for several months. On
the morning of the 27th January the male prisoner went out
about 8 o'clock to his work,learing his wife at home with the
children, and about 9 the woman was also heard to go out,
and during the next hoar she kept going out and return.
far, and at length she went out, taking the girl with her,
and leaving the deceased child in the room. She returned
is about three or four minutes, and immediately she entered
her room she was heard to scream and exelaim that her child
was burning. One of the lodgfri immediately went into the
room and found the child standing near,the fire-plan, with
its clothes on Ire. The prisoner tore the clothes off
the child, and stamped out the burning portions
of them, and the child was soon afterwards removed to the
hospital, where it was discovered to have been severely
burned, and the injuries eventually caused its death. It ap-
pend that when the female prisoner saw the child on fire,
'she addreand him and said, "You naughty boy, hew did you
comet* dolt ? Did I not beg of you not to go near the lire
before I went out." The learned counsel said that these were
the main facts of the ease against the tensile prisoner. and
there certainly was a doubt whether the occurrence might
not have been the result of accident. With regard to the
man, who was charged as an accessory before the ad, the
principal evidence against him would consist of dare,-
done which be was alleged to have made with regard to the
deceased ehild.
Mr. Justice Wightman said that the case as opened by the
counsel for the prosecution appeared to be a very alight one
against the prisoners, but in so serious a case it would pro-
bably be better to hear the evidence.
One or two witnesses were then examined, but their
evidence did not at all alter the can as it had been stated
by Mr. Bodkin, and one of them, Mr. Wright, the surgeon
who was celled in, mid, in answer to a question put to him
by Mr. Bodkin, that it certainly was possible that the child,
from the position of the grate in the room, and the condition
of the fire, might have set fire to his clothes by accident. It
also appeared that at the time the °murrain took place the
female prisoner was in an advanced state of pregnancy, and
she had been delivered of a child since her confinement in
Semmes.
The learned judge into/rued, and expressed an opinion
that upon this evidence the jury would hardly think them-
selves jntifled In finding the prisoners guilty of murder.
There appeared freely probability that the fatal ouserrenoe
was the result of ent.
The jury said they were of that opinion, and at once re.
tamed a verdict of Not Guilty.
There was another indictment for nthelerneanour naiad
the prisoners, upon which they were ordered to be detained
to take their trial in the course of the swim.

BATHS AND WASHHOIMES FOR THE LABOURING
