CHILD MonDEL—On Saturday morning a young woman,
named Elizabeth Nell, was brought before WIC HOSKINS, Esq.,
charged with having murdered her child.

square, stated that the prisoner lived with him in the capacity of a
servant since the !nth of January last, at which time lie did rot
perceive her to be in a state of pregnancy ; but on Tuesday last
he made the discovery, and accused her of it. The prisoner, at
the time, did not give any answer; on which he desired her to
prepare herself to leave the house on Tuesday next. On tile
morning of Friday last, on coming down from his bed-room, lie
perceived some unusual marks on the mat at the bottom of the
stairs. He suspected immediately that the unfortunate prisoner
had delivered herself, and instantly went up to her bed-room,
where he perceived similar marks. On meeting the prisoner he
perceived his suspicions were not groundless; but the prisoner
continued to do her work as usual. Witness, with another person,
commenced a strict search, and found a male infant, wrapped up
its a cloth, in one of the dresser drawers in the kitchen. There
appeared to be two pieces of twine round the neck of the child,
which he supposed might cause strangulation.
The unfortunate young woman, who does not appear to be more
than twenty years of age, was committed to Clerkeuwell. to
await the verdict of the Coroner's Inquest.
