SHOCKING MUMMA AT JUUSTOL.

BRLSTOL, FRIDAT Eynon.

•
This afternoon the denselppopttlated manufac-
tories district of St. Philip sod Jacob, which forms the
southeastern boundary of this city, was thrown into • state
of 'excitement in consequence of fte bemusing known that
a little girl, of between two-and-a-half aud'three years old,
had boon deliberately murdered by her owe mother. The
mimeo of both murderess and victim were theism% Martha
Mint, and they were the wife and child of •
'tiddler sod karness-maker named floury Otrerg7
wit s
whom they lived, in as apartment at No. 4, Jolsultrest.
The siipy woman, who is 46 years old, is the mother of
three okildren, and the fao• of the wader wee itret brought
under this adios el the p us authorities by her own date-
resat. In the early part of this afternoon she presented
herself at the Central Polioe-statimi, Bridewell-street,
where she encountered Polineersent Windmill, and, ,
addressing him, said that she surrendered herself toile
as his prisoner. The constable at Ent thought that she was
jesting, but upon his asking her upon what charge she
wished him to meet bee, she said very earnestly, "I have
been and hung one of my little children." The akar, still
dubious of her natament, asked what could have induced
her to commit such an act as that, to whisk she replied that
her binned had used her very badly, and by his enmities
bad driven her to it. She stated this with &preset calm-
ens, and the sergeant deemed it his duty to inks her late
the charge-room before the officer on duty. She there re-'
petted her statement, telling where she lived, and saying ,
eke had hinged the child from one of the rata of her bed.
She then tendered the key of her door, laying that if the
Aker would go and look he would find it as she had stated.
The Aker upon duty upon this directed Police-sergeant
Windmill tor toJobn-street, and hone telling him Motile
haste as life might not be quite extinct, when she said, "No,
it's of no use-1 have done it—l could not bear to see her
ender, and I pulled her by the heels." The sergeant lost no
time in peoeeeding to the house, which is rested by • peen=
named Mounting, 011iver being an under-tenant. He opened
the door, and on looking into the room found that her
horrible statement had been a true one, es the lifeless body
of the poor child was suspended from one of the bed•poets.
The sergeant at once cut it down and medial assistance ins
procured, but it was of course wholly ousts...Msg. The
'mail, who had been held in custody at the station.hwase
during the time the akar was engaged in rookies the in-
quiries, was afterwards taken for examination before the
tnagisiestes, and was remanded by them for further hpsiry.
