Ann Bali, 30, was indicted for the wilful murder of her
newly-born male child at Southport, oa the 24th of July
last, by burying it alive, sad else neglecting and refusing
to give it proper nourishment.
Mr. Pollack stated the case, and in to doing pointed out
the difficulty which might arise in sustaining the charge,
and, in order to clear up that point, he proposed to call the
surgeon as the lest witness.
Mr. Boson,
surgeon, of Southport, was then called, and
from his evidence it appeared that the child might have
lived, notwithstanding the burying, had it bad proper
ainuishmast.
A long argument here took place betwern his lordship and
the learned counsel, the learned judge being of opinion that
after the evidence which had been given by the surgeon, the
charge could not be sustained. At the close of the argument,
His Lordship retired I. consult Mr. Justice Creswell ;
and on his return, said that his brother Croswell was, with
him, inclined to the opinion that submit appeared that daath
was either caused or accelerated by the burying, the jury
could not, under the circumstances of the ease, be warranted
in honing a verdict of wilful murder, because the surgeon
was of opinion that if proper nourishment had been affordtd
to the child, it would have lived notwithetanding the burying.
Now if the prisoner bad been a free agent, she might have
been held res,ponsib!rt for the death of the child, but they
made a prisoner of her, and therefore she could not have
afforded that mother's nourishment which the child required,
and there was nothing to show that when the child was
brought to her she refused to nourish it. On the contrary,
she seemed rather pleased that she had an opportunity of
doing so, but the child was then in too weak • state to re
alive it, therefore the act of the prisoner could not, under the
circumstances, render her responsible for the wilful murder
of the child.
The jury then acquitted the prisoner.

Robert Lee was indicted with caused the death of
a child, aged seven month.. named Margaret Corry, by
baring caused a dangerous medicine to be administered to
the deceased, he not being a duly qualified medical prac-
titioner. -

Frees the statement of the case by Mr. Blair, who up-
peered on behalf of Ike prosecution, the einem/teams were
as fellow : Oa the 4th of the present month the mother of
the deceased child met the prisoner at a public hawse in
Dale-street. She had at the time the deceased child with her,
which was labouring under severe bowel complaint. The
prisoner offered to prescribe for the child, and ultimately
a bottle el medicine, made up from a prescription written out
by the pisoner, was procured from Mr. Brittain, a druggist.
The mixture contained a large quantity-of opium, and by the
=s directions two teaspoonfuls was given to the
. It fell rick soon afterwards. The day following
a second does was given to it, and in a short time after
the second dose had been administered the child fell asleep;
and in consequence of its remaining in that state an un-
usually loess time, the mother became alarmed, and ulti-
mately took the child to Mr. Foulkes, a surgeon in
Islington; who pronounced it to be narcotised, and in a
very dangerous state. lie applied a mustard plaster to
the child's 'teasel, and took other means to counteract
the. it finance of the narcotic, but the child died en the
12th Instant.
Several witnesses were called in support of the pees-
cation, amongst others Mr. Brittain, the druggist, from
whom the medicine was obtained, who stated char the
dose which was administered to the child, according to
the directions of the prisoner, contained fourteen drop of
laudanum.
Mr. Foulkes, surgeon, was alio examined, and he stated
that when the child was brought to him it was labouring
under the influence of a strong narcotic. Fourteen drops of
laudanum was too mach to give to • child, but not quite suf.
it :lent for an adult. Desth from narcotism generally took
place in twinty-four hours; but he recollected reading of as
instances when three days shaped before death ensued. That
was an tit/111011 CYO.
The prisoner, who conducted his own defence, erase-
examined the seems! witnesses at some length, and stated
teat the druggist's epprentios had made &mistake in Warms-
log the mixture. The apprentice wrote out a prescription at
his (prisoner's) dictation, bat had written down "tincture
of opium," when he (prisoner) had told him to write " tine-
- +.4kileraMni

timid rhubarb." la preser,L, for the child he had no
other motive than that of alleviating its suffering.
Ills Lordship. in summing up, dwelt with much faros upon
the statement made by Mr. Foulkes, the surgeon, that gar-
Mims generally summit death in twenty-four hours. He
aid that be bed read of an instance where three day.
elapsed, but that was evidently as extreme case. In this
instance, however, death did not take place until seven days
after medicine was administered, being four days longer than
the extreme cue referred to by Mr. Foulkes. It was
therefor* a question whether the medicine administend was
the sun of death at all ; and he was bnind to all the jury
that if they bad any doubt on that head, they ought to give
the primer the benefit of it.
After a low rainutss' consultation the jury acquitted the
prisoner.

GIIZAT Flat IN LIVIMPOOL.—About 12 o'clock
es the alight of Monday, a fire was di4oveterl in Ikon.
Byre and iliggin'e drug and oil manufactory. Seel•stnet,
and before many minutes had 'lnput! the Nunes bunt forth.
A high wind was raging at the time, and before the arrival
of the engines the andlseration had extended to Messrs.
Tyro. end Sin's cooperage, and a large warehouse which lay
on the east aide. As soon as Inspector Bibly arrived with a
few of the Ste brigade, instant measures were taken to pro.
cure water from the general mains, and also from the Green-
lane main in Banos.. r.street. From the former a,urce very
little water could be procured, and to add to 'he ennlyanetr,
the Green lane water was on so very strong that all the
connecting @seine hoar was split. By this time Mr. Dow-
ling, the head constable hal arrived, and other vigorous pro-
ceeding* were in.titutsd. The burst hose wee replaced, and
nine engines were elm set to work, and the West of England
brigade likewise got their engine into play. While these
active measures were being tithes, some alleles' persons re-
moved • quantil of casks out of Mears. Byre's storm, and
rolled them over the hose, which burst. Title accident wee
remedied, and a perfect flood of water was poured on the
burning buildings. Apprehensions Iv the surrounding pro.
perry were Poop quieted, end in a very shorn's, the fire-
men sumeeded in so subduing the conflagration se to save
the lower storks of the warehouse and of Kean. Byre's
factory.
