WANDSWORTH.
THE ALLEGED CHILD-MURDER AT CLAPHAM.
Inspector Abrook, of the W division, waited upon Mr.
Ingham with respect to the case of the skeleton of a
child having been discovered underneath the bo.rds in
the kitchen of a gentleman's house in Clapham-park, and
• servant being suspected of placing it there. He stated
that Mr. Payne, the coroner, had requested him to lay the
case before the magistrate to ascertain whether there was
sufficient evidence to sustain a charge of concealment of
birth. When the accused person was brought to the sta-
tion he refused the charge, but at that time he had not
heard the medical evidence.
Mr. Ingham attentively read the evidence placed before
bin, and then said there was not sufficient to warrant a
charge at present. He, however, thought there was a case
d strong suspicion and for further inquiry.
Inspector Abruok said the police would use every MOW
in their power to discover the mother of the child.
