I s rA
body of the male infant, suppoaed to have been naurderedby its
proceedings In the itupteat on the
nt.—The further
mother, were yesterdiy itennied at 'three o'clock, at the Rodney's
Head, when the follnning additional evidence was adduced :
Mr. Robert !Lech' examined—l sus the parish surgeon. On
Tuesday last my attendance was required at fir. Thompaon'a ;
went there in consequence, and wben Informed of the reason of my
being called on. I expressed a wish to see the servant's bed. It
bore all the appearances of a recent delivery having taken place.
When informed of the infant's discovery, I ordered it to be taken
to the parish bone-house. At five o'clock on the sante evening I
opened it. The lunge were distended with air, anti floated ; the in-
terior appeared in a healthy natural state. The probability is, that
it was born alive. iam of opinion that the mother watt not assisted.
Mr. Nicholas Norman exclaimed, I am landlord of the Lord
Exmouth public-house, Limehonse.fields. On the 24th of August
last, Kitty Dillon, the primmer, who lived at Mr. Thompson's, came
into my service, and remained until the 27th of November. During
that time it was frequently remarked that she was pregnant, and
she had all the appearances of being so. I have seen her but once
since she left my service. She went away on a Sunday morning,
saying that she was so ill that she could not remain.
The evidence closet: here; when the Coroner addressed the Jury,
and said that he thought there was a sufficient case made out to
justify them in sending the female Dillon for trial. The errant-
Lances abounded with strpieinn. No cle•ies were provided by the
unnatural mother for her offiipting, nor any of the oilier usual
preparations made, so that the natural conclusion is, that the de-
struction of the infant was pretnedita:cd. When this was coupled
with the statement of what the boy heard from the mother
and the cries of the infant on the morning of its birth, there was, in
Lis opinion, such a rase made out as ought to be submitted to the
decision of another tribunal.

The Jury c.,incided in the Coroner's opinion, and, without heal.
tatiou, returned a verdict el " Wilful Alorder" agalatt Kitty Dil-
lon. for whose apprehension the Coroner immediately issued his
warrant.

Sutttnr..—Ccanowr.n's r:CQUEST.—An Inquest was held a
few days ago at the Eight Bells, public.house, Cross-street, Black-
friars.road, before H. Carter, Esq. on the body of a woman
named Alundy, who committed suicide. The deceased, is ap.
}eared, was the wife of a wheelwright, and lately had evinced
symptoms of insanity, brought about, it was supposed, by some
gloomy notions on 'religion which she cherished. Her husband
went out to work as usual in the morning, and on Ids return in the
afternoon he was shocked on beholding his wife suspended to the
bed.pust by a piece of tape. His agiiivion was so great, that he
couid not cut her down, and he ran out for medical aid, but which
was useless, foe site was quite dead. Verdict—" Insanity."
