CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
gills DAY.)

The April mission of the above court commenced this
morning before the Right Hoe, the Lord Mayor, the
Recorder, Aldermen rhallie, 4ir F. Moon, and Hale,
Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Atkin*, Mr. Merit! Lusk, the
l'aler Sheriffs, kr , kr.

The calendar containe the names of 1:14 prisoners, and
two of the cases are charges of wilful niunler.
The !lonelier, an his charge to the ictaucl jury, said that
although there were a considerable number of prisoners for
trial at this session, it was not greater than would be
anticipated from the long interval that had elapsed
since the adjournment of the court, owing to the learned
judges being engaged upon their respective circuits. He
was sorry to see that there were two charges of wilful
murder on the calendar. Ilse was • charge against
• young man named Heighten, who was accused
of the murder of a female with whom he had
been keeping company, by drowning her in the
Surrey Canal. In this ease it appeared that the parties
were wen together at a late hour at night in the neigh•
bourhood of the canal, sod that they were both some-
what the worse for liquor, and quarrelled; and very
shortly afterwards there were cries heard of "oh, don't I"
and immediately afterwards • splash in the water. The
statenieut of the prisoner was that he left the deceased
about • quarter of an hour before the cries were
heard, and that, at all events, they were in company
very (shortly before the woman must have got into the
canal, and it would be for the grewd jury to say upon these
facts whether there was • sufficient prime, facie case to
justify them in returning a true bill against the prisoner.
The levied case of murder was a charge against a woman,
named Anne Reed, of causing the death of her child
by cutting its throat. In this case there ap-
peared to be some doubt upon the medical
testimony whether the death was occasioned by
the wound in the throat, er whether that in-
jury was inflicted immediately after death, but it
I appeared to him that the case was one that would
require further consideration. There were two charges of a
peculiar description against a young woman named Terry,
who was accused in the first place of tieing accessory to the
murder of another person, and also with feloniously attempt-
ing to kill and murder herself. There could be nu doubt, it
appeared to him, with regard to the second charge, as the
prisoner admitted that she had taken poison, and it appeared
that she had vomited and brought it off her stomach, and
this probably saved her life. With regard to the former
charge there ►ppeared to be no doubt that the prisoner was
pr sent when a man who hail accompanied her to a coffee-
house destroyed himself by poison, and the only question
for the grand jury was whether the prisoner assisted and
concurred in that act, The lassoed Recorder then called the
attention of the grand jury to one or two other cases in the
calendar, and concluded by diannaing them to the perform-
ance of their duties.
