and belonged to Mr. Edmund Howard, an extensive cotton
manufacturer, who died about six menthe ago. On Saturday
morning a workman was employed in the servontie room,
and found it necessary to enter a entail closet adjoining a
tern and to do something between the boards in the chisel
and the ceiling below. For that purpose he put his hand
between the two, when ho felt a bit of rotten. Ile drew it
out, and on examination found that it was a piece of cotton
rag, and that it contained the uearly decomposed remains
and skeleton of a child. Inquiry wan set on foot for the pur-
poen of asceitaining to whom it belonged and who was the
person who bad put it there. Suspicion fell upon a eervent
who left the service of Mr. Howard about twelvemonths ago,
named Sarah Cain, about 24 years of oge ; and she was
necoretingly apprehended in the course of the efternoon by
direction of Superintendent Callender, at her eieter'e, at
Hatfield, by rolice-oflicer Hepworth. It is believed to be
her illegitimate child, born two years ego. Since then Cain
hes had another child, which is now 13 months old. She is
not married. Yesterday eke was brought up on suspicion ;
, but the magistrates having heard the evidence thought it in-
sufficient, and ordered her to be discharged.—Malirdster
