WESTERN CIRCI.IIT.-4odmin, Aug. 2.
CROWN COURT.—(l3e.fore Mr. Baron PLATT.)
William Jenzmerson vas indicted for taking out a
certain worsted thread from some rope denoting it to
be the property of her Majesty.
Mr. Crowder and Mr.. Poulden prosecuted; and
Mr. Cole defended the p risoner.
It would seem that many years ago it was found to
be very difficult to identify any cordage which might
have been stolen from th a dockyards, and in order to
ohviate that a particular worsted thread was introduced
in the manufacture of ate rope for the navy, so as to
denote that it, was the property of the Crown. At
Chatham a yellow thread was used, at Portsmouth a
blue thread, and at Plymouth a red thread; and an
Act of Parliament was pissed which enacted that if
any person should take (rat any of the marks denot-
ing the store to be the• property of the Crown, or
procure any other person. to do so, such person should
be found guilty of felony, and should be trans-
ported for fourteen year's. In consequence of infor-
mation which had been received on the 23d of
July two constables we et to the shop of the prisoner,
who was a mason all Torpoint, and, producing a
search. warrant, proceeded to search his house.
The prisoner's wife was seen to drop something,whicia
turned out to be part of a rope which had been unra-
velled, and .a grelt portion of the worsted taken out.
The officers the❑ proceeded up stairs, and in a room
occupied by Mary Brsund they found her picking
rope, and in a cupboard. they found a large quantity
of red worsted, rolled up in,balls. Mary Bound said
the prisoner had given it .to her to unpick. Toe pri-
soner immediately said, " Yes, that's true; I gave it
to her, and I can prove waere I got it."
. A quantity of rope was now produced. With one
exception all of it was old, and the excepted piece was
only six or seven feet long, and had not the red thread
in it; and it was shown, on cross-examination of the
witnesses, that old rope was sold in large quantities,
and then sold to retailers for the purpose of being
converted into oakum.

Mr. COLE addressed the jury with great 7.2a1 and
energy for the prisoner.
Mr. Baron PLATT, in summing, up, observed that
he very much regretted that there were such sales of
rope, and particularly where there was such an abund-
ance of convict labour the worsted might be taken
out; for an innocent m.an might be placed in great
peril, as perhaps very few persons knew anything of
this Act of Parliament.

The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
The same prisoner was then indicted for having in
his possession certain naval stores marked with the
mark of her Jejesty.
Mr. CROWDER said that the jury having already
expressed their opinion upon the former case, be
should not offer any evidence.
The prisoner was, therefore, Acquitted.
Richard Gabriel was indicted for having in his
custody certain naval stores► marked with the broad
arrow.
The same counsel were engaged as in the previous
cages.

Itappeared that some planks, on which were marks
of the broad arrow, a Ilvamer, and other small arti-
cies, were found inebil, cellar, also having on the
broad arrow. The prisoner's wife kept a huxter -shop,
and the prisoner was a lighterman in the employ of
the Crown.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recom-
mendei him to mercy. He was then sentenced to
three months' imprisonment, without hard labour and
to paya fine of 51- and Si. costs of suit. ,
Gertrude Wellington was indicted for the wilful
murder of her male infant child at Luxlian.

This is the skirt.
Cl"e"exatninen-I—We cleaned out the pond because
that was the water we dra.t.k.
By the jUDGE—There was about a foot of mud in
the pond, end that was offensive when it was stirred
up. The skirt smelt as if a dead animal had been in
it. It was all under the mud.
William Bennett--I am a constable. On the 2d
of May I received the body of a dead, child from
Smith, end I afterwards took it before the-coroner. I
subsequently received a skirt. It, smelt dreadfully
bad, as if something dead had been wrapped in it.
Cross-examined—lt` was not the smell of mud.
John Ward—l am a surgeon at Bodeein. On the
evening of the 2.l of Islay I sew the body of the child.
It was a remarkably find child. Oa the following

a post mortem examination. All the Organs, with the
exceptien of the braie, were in a perfectly healthy
condition. The lungs ware healthy, nearly tilting the
cavity of the chest. They.were firm in their con-
sistence, of a pole reddish colour. The air-vessels
were filled with air and crepitated, so that the child
bad inspired. They were submersed in water ; they
floated, and when air was pressed out still they floated.
I have no doubt on earth but that child had breathed.
Decomposition had commenced; the bowels were
perfectly healthy. The skin on the surface was much
decotnposed. The brain was very putrid. On the
back of the head I found the mark or marks of a vio-
lent blow or blows, which I believeto have been in-
flicted while the olLl4l.was "17,10-"i4ll''
extravasation of blood, and a yellowish t?Ett, which
is evidence of the injury having been given while the
circulation was going on ; and my firm conviction is
that the blow was given while there was life. I
think that the child had died from five to seven or
eight days before. On the same .day I made an
examination of the prisoner. There

The blanket had been washed, but the stains had not

Re-examined--I admit the possibility as to the
blow, but not the probability.
By the JUDGE—I could not say there had been
more than one blow. Suffocation was not the cause
of death. My opinion is that the blow was the cause
of the death. It is possible that the child may have
been stunted, and then thrown into the water.
E. T. Nicholas—l am a surgeon, and I operated
upon that occasion, and I agree in opinion
.with Mr.
Ward.
Julia Parkyns—The prisoner lived wish me. Same
time before the child was found, in consequence of
what I had heard, I, on the 14th of February, ac-
cused the prisoner of being in the family way. She
strongly denied it, and said it was her wish she
should be taken to a doctor. In consequence of her
declaration I was satigied, and thrown off my guard.
She slept with Mary Stanlake three weeks before
the child was found, but not after that time. I ex-
amined her bed on the Monday, and saw certain
marks.

Mary Stanlake—l was dairymaid to Mrs. Parkyns.
I had slept with the prisoner three weeks before the
baby was found. I made the bed when I slept with
her; the blanket was then quite clean, as was also
the bed-tye. When I slept with her I saw her feet
in a pettic.oat ; it was a frock with the body cut off.
Cross-examined—l never saw any one wear any-

_
thing of the sort before.
[lt WSS here intimated that the prisoner had on the
identical petticoat at this moment, and the judge sent
her down stairs to take it off. The petticoat was
brouccht up and handed to the witness.]
This is a petticoat made from a frock, but this is
not the one the prisoner then wore, because it is one
1 wore myself when I relieved the prisoner when she
went Lorne. It was then a frock, and not a petti-
coat, az.d it has been cut down since.
Etin!tbeth Jones—l made a gown for the prisoner
three years and a half ago. As far as I can judge
this skirt is the same, but I can't tell. It is the same
-pattern'. I don't know whether it is_ the same.
Cromi-examined—Perhaps there may be other
gowns of the sscie pattern.
Mary Stanleke recalled—This is the same skie, to
app?erance, that the prisoner wore ; but I dot.%
believe it is same.
Mr. I'ouLDEN submitted that there was no evidence

to go to the jury.
Mr. :Biro!) PLATTr said it was necessary that the
child t..bould he proved to he the child of the prisoner.
He did not know what the jury thought of it.
