How A.EiE YOU OFF Fon SOAP ? —James Oliver, a "dodger,"
was charged with having defrauded the matron of the
Asylum, Mason-street, Edge-hill. The prisoner, along with
a woman whom he represented to be his daughter, went to
the aylum. The prisoner said he was master of a flat, that
was lost at sea." 'The said "flat" was laden with soap, and
that himself and his daughter, with a lot of the soap, had
escaped ! He offered her a " great bargain" in the shape
of the soap, which proved to be uncommonly soft soap.
She, out of pare charity, ordered 10s worth of the "
which turned out to be a tomnound of something► that

was there no one to take the child to the druggist. I saw
it after, but cannot say if it were bleeding. To Mr. Block :
I was not' examined before the Coroner. I was taken to
bridewell, where I gave my evidence. He was kind to the
child. The under part of the pri:oner's window ccm sot t.
A police officer was examined, and said if the child was on
a chair or table, it could fall out through the window. Mr.
Block then continued to cross-examine the female witness,
who said, I saw the child first on the flags, in the
yard, just after it fell. I turned it on its back, and it gave
a moan. I then saw the prisoner, looking out of the
window, and he said something, but I did not hear what
it was. I ran in then. I swear he put the child in the
midden. Why did you not go to the Coroner's-court, and
insist on giving your evidence ? I was not called on, but r
was in the Coroner's-court at the inquest, but said nothing.
Mary Anne Hanlon, the daughter of the last witness, said
she was coming in with a candle and saw the child in the
yard. She gave the same sort of evidence as her mother
about the child being put into the midden by the prisoner.
She said the prisoner threatened her not to say anything to
the police. Michael Hanlon, the father of the last witness,
was examined, and he gave the same evidence as he did at
the Coroner's-court, which we published a couple of days
across-examination by Mr. Block, the witness
admitted that
he told a lie at the Coroner's-court,
urintilitteOhan e was sworn. He prevaricated very much,
and talked about how his conscience struck him
to tell the truth. Mr. Bluck : What religion are you ?
I don't know. What religion do you profess ? You won't
know from me—l'm a coal-heaver. John Mooney proved
having received the child from Hanlon, and took it to the
drug-shop. A surgeon proved that the child's skull was
fractured in several places, as if from a fall from a consider-
able height. Police-officer Knowles (658), said the child
could not have got out of the window, except from a chair
or a box. He arrested the prisoner under his bed, and
when be spoke to him about it, he said he knew nothing
about it falling out of the window. Mr. Bluck then
addressed his Worship, and said that the Rev. Mr. Knox,
of Birkenhead, who had known the prisoner for twenty
years, had instructed him in the case. Mr. Mansfield : You
know, Mr. Bluck, if this case is anything, it will resolve
itself into this—that the child lost its life by negligence of
the prisoner, and that negligence caused by drink, so it would
resolve itself into a case of manslaughter. Mr. Bluck then
went over the evidence, and dwelt forcibly on the evidence
of Hanlon. Mr. Mansfield said it seemed to him that the
prisoner took the child in his arms, and stood at the window
with it, whilst he was drunk, and that it tumbled out
through the window, and in that case it would be man-
slaughter. He would, therefore, send the prisoner for trial
on that charge. The prisoner was accordingly committed
for trial.
