18, Walcet•atinare, Bennington-road ; and Henry Letrieh,

brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with being disorderly
and obstructing police constables at 10 o'clock that
morning while the great fire was raging in the St. Katharine
Dock.

fir. Partridge said the defendants were very properly
locked up, and as persons of education and apparent re-
spectability must be aware of the arduous duties im-
posed on the police and the fire brigade, they ought to
have obeyed the directions of the police or assisted them,
end not obstructed the ►uthorities at such a time and place.
He discharged the prisoners.
William Herbert, • young man, was charged with wan.
tooly striking • gentleman named Reece Powell, opposite
the dock.

The complainant was looking at the fire, end his hat was
knocked over his face. He took hold of ► man near him.
The prisoner immediately struck him a violent blow on the
nose, which bled profusely.
Mr. Partridge said there were a great number of persons
at the fire who disgraced themselves by obstructing the
police, or assaulting unoffending persons. The prisoner had
committed a wanton and brutal assault, for which he fined
him 20s.

A CHILD FOUND IN A DCST-BIN.—An adjourned
inquiry was held at the Elephant and Castle, King's-road,
St. Pancras, yesterday, by Dr. Lankester, touching the
death of a female infant who was found about a fornight
since in the duet bin of the house No. 11, Cantelow's-road,
Camden-square, occupied by Mr. Gilbert Lockyer. From
the evidence adduced at the Slat inquiry it appeared that
the body of the infant bore on it marks of having met a
violent death—the skull being fractured. It was also
shown that food had been given to the infant, as • portion
was found in the intestines. From the description of the
premises, the coroner felt convinced that, as no person
could have access to the dustbin save thou who
lived iu the house No. 11, Castelow's-road, some one con-
nected with that house had placed the body in the
dust-bin. He accordingly had the inquiry adjourned for
the production of evidence with respect to the inmates of
the house. At the adjourned inquest, yesterday, Mr.
Lockyer produced a plan of the triangular block of houses
of which Cantelow's-road forms one side, and St. Paul's-
crescent and Upper St. Paurs.cresoent the other two ; and
from this it appears that strangers could have no woe= to
the dust-bin unless by crossing a number of walls which
divide the yards of the adjacent houses. Mr. Lockyer
stated that if his front door was left open or unlocked access
could be had from the street to the dust-bin. If the lid of
the dust-bin was raised, the body of the child could have
been thrown into it from off the partition walls of the next
houses. The coroner said he wished to examine Mrs. Lockyer
as to the state of her servant's heal-h for some time past,
Mts. Mary Lockyer deposed—l keep two maid servants ; a
nurse who has been with me eight months, and a general
servant who has been in my employment about eleven
weeks. Neither of my servants has been ill, or asked to be
excused from performing her duties. Sophia Harlan, the
general servant, first told me of the child being found, and
the nurse told me afterwards. I did not suspect either
Sophia Harlan or the nurse of being the mother of the child.
The coroner said the evidence of the dustman was—" I told
the servant there was something in the dust-bin that ought
not be there—that there was a baby in the dust-bin, and
she became all in a tremble." Mrs. Lockyer said the
nurse trembled very much, and so did she herself when
she heard of the child being found. The coroner said it was
certainly a most mysterious case; but the facts rather
pointed to some one residing in that triangle of houses as
the mother of the child. If it was no one in Mr. Lockyer's
house who placed the body in the dustbin, it was cer-
tainly a most cruel thing for any neighbour to place it
there. He recommended the police to pursue their in-
quiries still further, and especially with reference to the
inmates of the adjoining houses. The jury returned •
verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons
unknown."
