went to Bt. George's Eye Infirmary. The primer always
appeared to take care of the child. I have ass bet the •
glass of spirits, but never noticed ter anything like drunk.
I never noticed an act of cruelty on he part towards the
child, and always considered she acted towards it as • mother
ought to do.
Another women who was not sworn stated that she had
always observed the prisoner treat the child with kindness.
The Lord Maya—Mary Altman, this investigation will be
of service, at all events. If you could only Mks a gleamed
look at yourself now (whim the prisoner was first brought
up she was dirty in the extreme, and had two bleak eyes),
sad see what you were when you first appeared here, you
would be quite struck with:the contrast. I attribute your
masat appearance to the fad of your having been kept sober
kr the lees few days.
Mr. Hadlow—My lord, the child will die if left in the
mother's bends. It ought to be taken to the union.

Tbs Lord illayar—Prisoner, if the child should die end
the charge of neglecting It le proved against you, you will
most easuredly be committed to the Old Bailey and tried for
murder. You are now thirsting for drink, and that is your
reason for refusing to ro to the union. Under these circum-
stances I shall remand you for another week.
The prisoner was remanded accordingly.

Nary Amos psis, the woman who figured In our column'
last week, on a charge of robbing two model policemen of the
N division, who had been out on the spree with her and a
fair companion, was now placed at the bar, in conjonction
with datau Sissylor, bar paramour, on suspicion of being
concerned in a burglary at Dyer's Flax-mills, Gloucester-
street, Clerkenwell.
It appears that when Davis was taken into custody on the
first charge, Inspector Mackenzie had her searched, and •
qusa:lst:l of silver wire, of considerable value, was found in bar
po n, besides the money and other things mentioned ha
our report. after the case wee disposed of, the penmen
Bhaylor claimed this money, end while his applica-
tion to the court was being entertained, he wee
pounced upon by the police, Wag • well-known
mackinaws, and charged with being an accoraplios in
the robbery of the wire. litiaykir was lodged In
while the inspector and Holmes, 50 7, went to DavWe
lodgings, • first-door, at 63, lisyham-etrest, Camden-town.
The landlord of the house, • clerk, whose name is
Lowe,
stated that ilhaylor lived with Davis es man and wile,
had been there about six weeks. The room occupied by theta
was searched, and in the well of a earti-table the police found
four or five skeleton keys, one of which, it wee subsequently
ascertained, opened the wicket-gate of the premier of Messrs.
Johnson, gold and silver wire drawers, at the above mills,
whose warehouses were broken into and robbed on the night
of Oct. 27, and about 3.5.1. worth of silver wire stolen from
M• safe in which it had been deposited—this being the third
robbery at the same promises within a very short paiod. The
Folios also found • handsome see of tense osadele one of
them with branches, and all surmounted by the arose, the
whole being apparently stolen from a Rama catholic place
of worship, although no owners for them have been dis-
covered. Other property was found.
Mr. G. Lewis attended as solicitor for the defendants, and
trues-examined the principal witness, Mr. Potter (foreman
to the prosecutors) as to the means of identifying the wire,
extending that it was impossible to do so ; but the gauges
used in the trade ware produced in court, and the operation
exhibited to the magistrate to satisfy the court on the point.
Themes Grosvenor, the porter who slept on the premises,
deposed to their being safe the night before the robbery.
When he returned home late at :tight he thought he saw a
light is the warehouse, and went up to look ; but finding no
trace of one, he satisfied himself that it was a delusion on his
poi, and went to bed. Within two hours afterwards he was
aroused by the police, and the robbery had takes place.
Davie said the wire wee given to her to make into Um*
but she could not tell the name or residence of her esn-
