THE POLICE COURTS.

THAMES.

Susan Sprat, 24, servant, was charged with the wilful
murder of her male illegitimate child, aged nine days, on
the 16th of April last. The child was found in the play-
ground of the Stepney Grammar-school, and an inquest
was held upon it, when a verdict of " Wilful murder"
was returned against some person unknown. It had since
been discovered that the prisoner was confined of
a male child at a house in Half-paved-court, Salisbury-
square, fleet-street; that she bad previously had another
illegitimate child, now two years old ; that she had
gone out with the infant for the purpose, as she said, of
placing it at the Bow Union, and said it had died in her
arms on the road ; and that she had left it wrapped up in
the shawl as it was found upon a door step. She still per-
sisted in this story.
The surgeon who made a post mortem examination of
the body said that the child was small, but healthy, and
that death was caused by a fracture of the skull, which
could only have been effected by a severe blow. A alight
blow or pressure could not have done it.
The prisoner, who treated the charge with great indif-
ference, was committed for trial fur wilful murder.
