HONE CIRCUIT.—MAIDErrozn, Masai 12.
(Before Mr. JUlitiOo Biles.)
CHABOZ OF MCIDI3.
Frances Redder, 26, a rather good-leakier VO”niC woman,
was charged with the wilful murder of Lame. Kidder
liMaples, by drowning her at New Romney.
Mr. Baron and Mr. Daring conducted the promemllin ;
end Mr. Channell was conned for the defence.
This cue was one of a very painful character. The
prisoner was a married woman, bee Inialmed being a person
in a humble condition of life, reed* at Myths. At the
time et the marriage the husband had an illegitimate
child, the deceased, who was about twelve years old the
prisoner having also an illegitimate child by her husband
previous to the marriage. The prisoner wee a woman of
violent temper, and there seemed to be very little
doubt that she entertained a great antipathy
to her stepdaughter, the unfortunate demand, and it was
proved that she frequently beat her very cruelly, her pina-
fore and other articles of clothing being sun on several
occasions covered with blood ; and she was also represented
to have made use of deadly threats towards the poor
child, and particularly of the expression that she would
take her out and drown her. On the 17th of August, last
lear, there was a fair at New Romney, and the prisoner
eft her husband.. house aboet that time to visit her father
and mother, who resided at that place, and for the purpose
of having a holiday, taking with her the deceased child.
Nothing particular seemed to have rammed until Sunday,
the 21th of August, and on the evening of that day the
prisoner, under rather suspicions circumstances, went out
with the deceased, and did not return until • late hour,
and then alone. On being stilted where the child wee,
she stated that as she was coming home with
her they were frightened by two homes and the despised
fell into • ditch. She went in after her and tried to get
her out, but was unable to do so. Her clothes were wet
and dirty. The husband of the prisoner appeared to have
at once accused her of having murdered the child,
and at his instance a police-constable was sent for and
she was given into custody, and she then stated where
the child would be found. A search was accordingly
made. and in a ditch shoat a quarter of a mile from the
house the dead body of the poor child was discovered.
There were marks as of • struggle having taken place oa
the bank of the ditch, and it appeared that the water was
not more than a foot deep, so that the suggestion on the
part of the prosecution was that if there had been any
foundation for the assertion of the prisoner that
the child had faller into the ditch acci-
dentally she could easily have extricated herself,
and that the mom retainable conclusion to be arrived at
was that the unhappy child had been forced violently
into the ditch, and held under the water until she wee
suffocated, and that this being done by the prisoner
accounted for the condition of the letter's clothes when
the returned home.
The jury found the prisoner G
The learned judge then pronounced sentence of death.
She did not eihßoit the least emotion either during the
progreu of the trial or when the sentence of death was
pronounced upon her. - In answer to the usual quell' ion
which is put m such oases, whether she were pregnant,
which, if the fact, would be a ground for day of exam-
tioo, she replied that else was not, and then walked from
the bar and down the steps leading .to the prison with a
firm step.
