CHAROI OP TWIPANT7CIDI7.72:EIisabeth Barker alias
Isaacs, Edward Bailey her paramour, Harriet Campbell,
a midwife, and Sarah Cooke, a nurse were fleetly examined
on suspicion of having been eacerned in the murder of •
female cnild two days old, the offspring of the prisoners
Bailey and Barker.
The first witness called was Dr. Godfrey, of Mount-place,
Whitechapel, who stared that from a post marten examina-
tion of the body, which he had made with Mr. Mum, a
surgeon, he concluded that deceased had lived two days.
There wee no malformation, but there were marks in the
throat, and also on the scalp, in the area of the forehead
there was congestion of the brain, but nothing to account
for death from natural causes, and taken collectively the
whole of the eppearanime were calculated to create a suspi-
cion that death was occasioned by violence. The mark, on
the head were such u would be occasiened by • fall or a
blew. The witness was examined at great length by Mr.
Yardley, and the result of the investigation was that though
the marks on the body were consistent with violence, they
were not inconsistent with a more innocent mode; but they I
were more like the result of violence. There was a or. au
across the neck en inch and a half in extent, which,
in his belief, occurred during death and whilst the
body was as yet warm. The cervical vertebrae were arched,
as if the head had been forced round, which would account
for the crease in the neck. There was little or no ectehymosis
under the marks ; but that would not make against the fact
of strangulation, as it did not exhibit itself in many instances
of persona who had been hanged.
To Mr. Pelham.—A fall on the floor would account for the
marks on the forehead, but not for the curved appearance of
the cervical vert. brae ?

It was poe•ible but not probable that the marks =Hat
have been made in removing the umbilical cord. In so
young a subject the 'orb, MAL would not be so great, as the
cart Lags was more fl, zible.
Mr. Mure concurred generally with Dr. Godfrey. The
conelusinn to which he had come wa•, that the appearance of
the ►ody wee consiste% with strangulation, and also with
natural causer. - . .

Dr. Godfrey—The reason I attach so little importance to
eeshymosis is its absence in the cases of a number of people
who were hanged. . .

P. Wensyski saw the pri-oner Barker after she wn
delivered of the child, and also saw the infant. Mrs. Barker
told her sot to say anything about it; but at the same time
said it was (unseat. cast clothes fur it were brought to her
in the shop, without the trouble of making them. Ste also
said that she an old keep the child a month or two Wore
sending it to nurse.
Two other women, named Gardiner and were
then examined, but their evidence was of little or no impor-
tance.

-7111-
e prisonen Cooke and Campbell were then discharged,
and the lam r was called as a witness and examined at some
length. Her evidence tended to exculpate the prisoners.
Mr. Yardley said the medical lVillier CO was not of a nature
to sustain the charge of murder, and the child had been seen
by so many pertains that the charge of concealment was also
done away with. Though there were sea( ril marks of appa-
rent violence, which the manner of the birth might account
for, and 113 there was a doubt, the prisoners must be die
charged.
Oa getting into the street Bailey kissed the female pri-
son r, on which the crowd, greater than usual owing to the
proximity of Stepney lair, uttered a loud cry of indigos
tion, and they were followed by a large and thre.tening a n •
coulee, who would have done Item some injury had they
not taken shelter in a neighbouring public-house.
WANDSWORTH.

RtPrIANLY 01:THA011.—Ilugh Doris, who described
himself as a general dealer residing at Chelsea, was charged
with a cowardly assault on a respectable married lady.
Mrs. Mary Withal', of No. 1, York-cottages, 13attersea-
fields, one of whose eyes was most frightfully discoloured and
lacerated, stated that on the precious afterno,n she was with
her children in Jews' row, Wandsworth, near to the fair.
There were some donkeys there, and she was treating her
ebiidren to • ride. The defendant came up and pushed and
pulled the donkies about. Complainant said he must be •
tt wrong" man to try and throw the children off, when he
directly struck her on the eye and knocked her down.
11. struck at her more as it she had been a man or a
bullock.

The evidence of complainant having been corroborated,
Mr. B adon said it was the must unprovoked assault he
ever had bane him, and he did not thick hr should !)
doing his duty to the public if he were not to impose the
highest penalty which the law allowed. The defendant
would, therefore, pay 51. for the aseault, or be committed fur
two months.
The defendant, not beinz provided with the money, was
removed to the cells. Prior to Mr. Beadon leaving the
bench, the prisoner n.ade an earnest entr• ry for a mitiga-
tion of the line ; but the magistrate peremptorily refund.
