MURDER OF A CHILD BY ITS PARENTS, AT

NEWPORT.

A man and woman, named Henry Mutters and
Sarah Thome., have been committed for trial by the inagi-
'trona of Newport, Monmouthshire npon a charge of having
wilfully murdered the illegitimate Child of the latter. The
woman had resided at Pillgwenlly (a suburb of Newport),
end had been observed to present a peculiar appearance,
which she seconnted for by saymg that she bad a dimease,
sad that her medical edema* intended to perform on opera-
tion upon her. The Rev. Archibald Gault, of Trinity Chunk,
of whose congregation she was a member, was so deceived
by her that he took a deep interest in her ease, and procured
for her en in-door patients note for the Bristol lefirmary.
She waa sent to Bristol by packet, and the young man
Mutters, who bad previously been lodging in the mania house
with her, was sent to accompany and take rare of her. When
Mutters returned he said she was ta. i.r.orly to go into the
inirmary, and that he had taken lodgings for her, but he
MT=to have forgotten the address of the lodging. Mr.
anxious about her being left amongst strangers, and
sent Mutters tack to Bristol to find her out awl write down her
address. On hie return after the second journey the young man
produced • letter from Sarah Thomas stating that she was so
much better that she did not think that she should have to
go into the infirmary at all. Some days afterwards Sarah
Thomas returned home, and Mr. Gault being dissetietied
with what had happened, and with certain reports he had
heard, went himself to Bristol, and having traced out a house
In Cathay where she had lodged, he ascertained that she had
represented herself to bo the wife of a sailor of Newport, and
that she had come to Bristol to be confined. On the 22nd of
October she was delivered of a full-grown female child ,with
which she left a fortnight afterwards, the infant being then
in perfect health. Mrs. Sully, the landlady of the house at
Bristol, proved the birth and healthy appearance of the
child. On Ler return to Newport the prisoner had no
infant with her. Pollee-superintendent Hustable, when be
arrested Sarah Thomas, was told by her that the
infant had died in convulsions two howls after she brought
it home, and that Mutters had burial it. Mutters was
arrested at North Petherton. His statement was that Sarah
Thomas told him that the child had died half-an-hour before
her leaving the packet, and that he took it at her request and
threw it into the canal in a basket, in which he had first put
• brick to sink it. Henry Bailey, manager of the canal lock,
let out the water and searchedfor the besket, which he found
with the brick in it as described. Mrs. Sully elated that
Mutters often visited the female prisoner at her house. It.
was there on the day she was confined.

FALL or Two Hot:sm.—On Saturday. afternoon
tho inhabitants of the narrow end of Rolywelfshine, Shore-
ditch, wore thrown into a state of the utmost consternation
by discovering that two large old homes, both untenanted,
one of which was undergoing some repair*, had bulged for-
ward inn meet alarming manner. Information was imme-
diately given to the authorities, and au efficient body- of the
police, who were epocilily in attendance, instantly stopped all
vehicles and foot passengers from coming up the
lane; w 1 eh,
although an extremely narrow and inconvenient thorough-
fare, iaoneof the leading outlets from the &Worn Counties
Railway station. These preeminence had scarcely been taken
when both of the houses fell in with a tremendoue erash, but
fortunately without doing any material damage. Great fears
were at one time eataimined for the houses facing, ono of
which had a very narrow wrists from being fore clOwn, a
portion of the falling ruins having struck the upper part of
the chop front and broken it in. Workmen were shortly
brought to the epot, and all the houses on both sidcs of the
ruins for some distance were shored up and propped amuse,
notwithstanding which they, an well as many others in the
lona, are in a very dangerous date, and reflect the highest
upon the authorities.
