BABY FARMING IN BETIIN.AL-GREED'.

Last evening Mr. Richards, deputy-coroner, re-
sumed and concluded at the Queen's Read tavern, Fleet-
street, Bethnal-green, an inquest touching the death
from alleged starvation and neglect of achild nine months
old, named George Pocock.
Mr. Vann, solicitor, appeared for Mrs.Moorer,the nurse,
who had the child in her charge.
Dense crowds, principally composed of women and
girls, filled the approaches to the tavern where the in-
quest was held, threatening personal violence to the
woman who was accused of starving the child. A number
of constables rendered actual lynching impossible, but the
mob yelled and hooted furiously. The conversation in
the street at times was so great that it was difficult to
hear the witnesses.
The facts of the case, as previously disclosed in evi-
dence, were briefly these:—The mother of the child was a
cook in the service of a gentleman residing in the county
of Kent, the father was a coachman in the same service.
The child was born on the Ist of November, in Lambeth,
and was given to Mrs. Mary Ann Moorer to nurse when
it was a few weeks old in order that the mother might
go back to service. The mother, &wording to her first
statement, agreed to pay Si. a week, but yesterday she
said it was only 3s. 6d. a week, for the child's support.
She found it impossible to get a place for some time ;
ultimately her mistress took her back ; but her money
being all gone, she told Mrs. Moorer she could only pay
her 2a. 6d. a week, and that she would pay that quarterly.
That proposal was assented to. The mother paid, how-
ever, only a pound in all, besides Be. for clothes.
She promised to pay in full at the end of June.
Mrs. Moorer was the wife of a coal hawker,
and she was herself a beadworkcr, employing two little
girls to work under her. The child was well taken care of
until Easter. About the 16th of June the mother of one
of the work girls wrote to the child's mother to say that
the baby was dying from neglect and starvation. It died
on the 18th of June, and Dr. Burgess, who made the poet-
mortem examination, stated that there was no disease
whatever, and that death arose from starvation.
All the witnesses were now examined by Mr. Vann.
The mother of the child said, in answer to that gentle-
man, that she was 37 years of age. She was confined in
Lambeth Workhouse. She did not affiliate the child, be-
cause the father when he was turned away by his master
left the neighbourhood and disappeared, and she did not
know what became of him. The child was always rather
thin, but it was healthy.
The witness was closely qeetioned as to the thinness of
the child, because the doctor dated, that after death it
weighed only albs. instead of 181ba, the proper weight of
a child nine months old.
Rachel Booth, cross-examined, said that Mrs. Moorer
and she bad a quarrel about the child on Whit Monday.
Mrs. Moorer said the money did not keep the child, and
witness told her she ought to give the child to the mother,
or to the parish, and not to starve it to death. Witness
also had- words about Mrs. Moorer not paying her
daughter Is. due to her for work. Witness took the child
from Mrs. Moorer just before it died.
Rebecca Booth, a little girl, adhered to her statement,
that the child was on one occasion (spoken to also by her
mother) locked in a room from ten in the morning till six
at night while Mrs. McKim was out, and that during that
time it was crying faintly from want of food. She also
said that Mrs. Moorer habitually beat the child, and once
gave it a black eye.
Mrs. Margaret Newman, examined by Mr. Vann for
the defence, said that the child used to be left in a room
by Mrs. Mower, bat the door was not locked, for there
was no lock to the door. Mrs. Moorer had to go about to
her work, and she left her work girls to look after the
child.
Sarah Rathbone deposed that she worked for Mrs.
Moorer until three weeks before the child's death. The
child was never locked in ; there was no lock. Witness
used to be left to feed the child when Mrs. Moorer went
out. The child used to be slapped, but only on its arma ;
the black eye was got by falling out of bed. litre. Moorer
gave the child cough mixture when ill, and she treated it
bndly.
limn= Roberts, of Francis-street, Lambeth, said that
Mrs. Moorer (her sister) treated the child kindly, and fed
it on bread and milk. The child was always "au object,"
it was so thin. Mrs. Moorer bought a cradle for it out
of her own money. The child could not have been locked
in the bedroom.
Mrs. Mary Ann Moorer, step-mother of the accused's
husband, said that the child was thin and delicate from
the birth, and it was carefully tended, but suffered from
teething.
Mrs. Mary Ann Moorer, 3, Ryder's-court, Bethnal-
green, was then cautioned, and asked if she had any state-
ment to make. She said that she used to lay out ut least
Is. a week on milk for the child, and used to get it corn-
flour. The child suffered for six or seven weeks from
diarrhoea. She always acted a mother's part towards the
child, and her husband was very fond of it. The neigh-
bours had a spite against her because she owed one or two
of them a shilling each.
The coroner having summed up,
The jury deliberated for half an hour, and then re-
turned a verdict "That the deceased illegitimate child,
being in the care of Mary Ann Moorer, died from the
mortal effect of neglect and starvation, and that the said
Mary Ann Moorer was guilty of manslaughter, by feloni.
°wily and maliciously killing and slaying the said child."
Mr. Vann applied to the coroner to take bail for the
appearance of the prisoner.
The Coroner said that he would take two sureties in
401. each, and herself in 801. ; due notice to be given.
Mr. Vann then said that he had to apply to the coroner
to order that the prisoner should be duly protected from
the excited mob in the streets about the court while she
was being conveyed to prison.
The Coroner ordered Mr. Burrows, the officer of the
court, to take measures with the police to protect the
prisoner from any violence.
The prisoner, who was quite overcome, was eventually
got away m a vehicle surrounded by police, who ran after
it to protect her from the mob of women and boys who
rushed yelling in its wake, until it got into Shoreditch.
She was committed to Newgate.

ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—At a meeting
of the Royal. Horticultural Society held yesterday many
beautiful specimens were brought together, besides nume-
rous lobebas, pelargoniums, and orchids, some varieties of

This was an action for a mischievous libel in printing
awl publishing the following placard :—" Caution—
Mr. J. Owynne, of 3, Wellesley-termos, Plumstead, was
chased at the Mansion-house onthel6th inxt. withhaving
travelled from London-bridge to Cannon-street without
having previously paid his fare, and was convicted and
fined, with costs, or in default condemned to thre;iletti
nnpnsoument with bard labour." Thu defendants
not guilty and a justification.
Mr. Day and Mr. Rooker were counsel for the plaintiff ;
Mr. Serjeant Robinson and Mr. White for the company.
The plaintiff is a designer and modeller, emretemart:
Mmes. Powell's Olamiworke Whitetriers, and at
Plumistead. On the morning of the 6th of September
plaintiff missed the 7.40 a.m. train from Woolwich to
Cannon-street, and had to wait for the through
train, which leaves Woolwich at 8.12 a.m. At
Cannon-street, he tore the return ticket in two, gave one
half to the ticket collector and the other part be put into
his pocket. Just as he bad passed the wicket the collector
called to him and said he had given up a London-bridge
ticket. Plaintiff replied it was impossible, and produced
the other halt of the ticket, which was for Cannon-street.
lie left the half ticket and his address for inquiries to be
made between that time and his return in the evening.
On applying for it to return the collector told him be was
instructed to detain it, and that plaintiff must get back as
best he could. lie then took • ticket to return to Wool-
wich Arsenal, for which he paid 7d. On the 6th September
plaintiff wrote to the company for an explanation. tieveral
letters passed between them, and on the 6th October he
was repaid the 7d. in postage stamps. On the evening of
the 16th October, about six weeks after the occurrence,
plaintiff was served with a summons, dated 26th September,
to appear before the Lord Mayor on the following morning
to answer the charge of having travelled from London-
bridge to Cannon-street without having first paid the fare.
At the hearing a point was attempted to be made by
the company's officer from the imperfect stamping
of the ticket that it was issued on the pre-
vious day. The Lord Mayor, who treated the case
as a trumpery affair, ordered the plaintiff to pay Is.
tine and the costs, without saying a word about impri-
sonment. The fine and cats were immediately paid, and
to the plaintiff's surprise, ho found himself placarded
all over the line, as above stated—the amount of the
fine and coats and their immediate payment being
omitted, and the imprisonment with hard labour inserted.
A correspondence ensued between the attorneys on both
sides, and a promise was made that the placards should
be withdrawn • but, instead of complying with that pro-
mise, other placards of a similar character wore posted
along the line. Plaintiff stated he had been a constant
traveller by the defeudanta' line for the last eleven years,
and that the difference of fare was only Id.
Mr. Serjeant Robinson complained about the whole
case having been gone into, because he was not prepared
to meet it. What be came to meet was the simple moue
—was the plaintiff convicted, and not whether he was
rightly convicted by the Lord Mayor.
The Lord Chief Justice mid the plaintiff had a right,
from the defendant's plea, to go into the facts in aggra-
vation of damages. Ho thought the sooner the case was
brought to a close the better.
The learned counsel communicated with each other, but
were unable to come to terms.
Mr. Serjeant Robinson said the simple question was
whether the plaintiff had suffered damage from the bisertion
of the words "hart labour." There was no pretence for
charging malice. The mistake arose entirely from a mis-
apprehension of what occurred. The clerk to the com-
pany said he was informed that the defendant was fined,
with rata, and in default three days' imprisonment, with
hard labour. The offence was one under the general
law, and not the bye laws of the company, and the
offence was the intent to defraud the company. That
having been proved to the satisfaction of the magistrate
the conviction could not now be questioned. The railway
company had a right to publish such placards if true, and
here the plaintiff having been fonnd guilty it must be
taken that the offence bad been committed.
The Lord Chief Justice said it was quite nuisance
enough for a respectable man to be summoned on sus-
picion of having committed such an offence ; but it wan
no trifling thing for such a man to be posted all over the
line.
Mr. Serjeant Robinson said he believed it was done on
every line out of London.
The Lord Chief Justice said it might be all very well in
the case of persona who deliberately intended to defraud
the company.
Mr. Serjeant Robinson said the various companies were
defrauded to a large amount, and by persons who ought
to know better, and to whom the money could not be
individually greatt The object was to caution the public.
Evidence was given to contradict much of the plain-
tiff's statement. The tickets had been lost, but it was
pmfectly clear that they were the halves of two different
tickets, one for London-bridge, the other for Cannon-
street.
The Lord Chief Justice said it would be important to
show if the plaintiff regularly took his ticket for Cannon-
street or London-bridge. A man might take his ticket
for London-bridge and alter his mind and go on to Can-
non-street without intending to defraud the company of a
penny, but that was not sufficient for the company to
gibbet a man all over the line. With very little trouble
the company might have ascertained what tickets were
issued that day.
The conviction was put in. It stated that the plaintiff
was fined la and 3a. costa, or three days' imprisonment in
default of payment.
The delay in the summons arose from its not being
served by the officer in consequence of a mistake made by
the company in the address ; and the mistake with re-
ference to hard labour " was explained by Mr. Leiria,
the company's law clerk, who attended to support the
charge. After the case was over, and the fine and costs
paid, he asked the junior clerk at the Mansion-house
whether the three days alternative was hard labour, and
he replied it was. Mr. Lewis said he asked to be correct
in the return be had to make to the general manager.
The ticket inspector stated that the plaintiff came by
the 8.46 train, lie detected the ticket immediately it was
put into his hand. Plaintiff said he must have taken the
ticket up by mistake. The Cannon-street ticket appeared
to be an old one, and was not dated. The dates
were sometimes badly printed (a ticket was pro-
duced which witness said was dated July 7, but
the Lord Chief Justice said it looked very like
a bad " I.") He could not say if he took the ticket of
the 8.12 tram. His report would show the train (the re-
port was produced, and stated it was the 8.46 train, and
that plaintiff had passed the barrier before be detected the
wrong ticket). The 8.12 train from Woolwich was due at
8.46 at Cannon-street. The report stated the starting time
of the train, not its arrival. There was an 8.46 train from
Woolwich. (Plaintiff proved by his employers' time book
that he arrived at Wbitefriars at 9.10.) He found from
the audit office that the London-bridge ticket was issued
on the 11th August.
Orders were given in November to
rem takoved. e do
The last wn the pla-
cards, and they were accordingly left
up was at Woolwich Arsenal station.
Mr. Serjeant Robinson, in summing up the evidence,
contended that the company had acted bona fide on the
faith of the representations made to them by their ser-
vants. It was quite clear the two halves could never
have formed one ticket. There was a mistake somewhere
about that ticket which it was impossible to fathom. The
company admitted they had made a mistake in adding
the words " with hard labour,' but they made no impute,
tion against the plaintiff.
Mr. Day, in reply, said the plaintiff's object was to clear
and vindicate his character. The defendants, by the
course they had taken in calling evidence, had reiterated
the charge of fraud. He relied with confidence on the
jury awarding substantial damages to the plaintiff,. and
thereby teach thisrailway company to conduct their
plsomrtling and libelling system in a more cautious man-
ner. The placard was punted in the most attractive
form.
The Lord Chief Justice, in 'summing np, said railway
companies had no more right to issue those documents
than private individuals, and if they do it they must take
care to keep themselves within the law.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—dane
2601., being 1601. more than the plaintiff claimed.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
DIMINO V. DIMINO AND DIAXIDELRT, CAPNL AND THE
QIIRPX'S PROCTOR zwrinivioaxo.
Dr. Spinke, Q.C. moved to make the decree nisi abso-
lute, and that Mr. Capel might be condemned in the costs
of the intervention.
Mr. W. G. Harrison (for the Queen's Proctor) said there
could be no reasonable doubt that the respondents had
both died of yellow fever at Lima, and that the suit had
therefore abated.
Mr. Searle (for Mr. Cava) followed on the same side.
Sir J. Wilde said there was no doubt that the peti-
tioner was entitled to his decree, and it would therefore
be made absolute, so that if the alleged death of the re-
spondents should turn out to be untrue Mr. Dering might
not suffer from the delay. Under the circumstances,
however, he would not condemn the intervener in the
costs.

THE HOURS OF POLLING AT ELECTIONS.-At
meeting of the London Working Men's Association last
evening, Mr. George Potter in the chair, it was resolved
that a deputation from the committee of the association
should wait upon the metropolitan members for the pur-
pose of inducing them to move and support a clause in the
Corrupt Practices Bill extending the hours of polling until
eight p.m., so that the large numbers of working men em-
ployed during the day at long distances from their homes
may have the power of recording their votes on returning
from work.
