was made upon an affi-
davit which stated that the indictment was one of a
very special character, which would require the pro-
duction of documents, some of which could not be
obtained without the consent of the House of Com-
mons, and that consequently there would not be suf-
ficient time to procure it at those assizes.
Mr. CLARKSON opposed the motion, and after some
conversation the recognizances were enlarged, and the
defendants were merely required to enter into a per-
sonal recognizance to appear when they should be re-
quired to do so.

WESTERA\CIRCUIT.—Bodmin, Aug. 2.
CROWN COURT.--(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.)
William Jemmerson was 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 prisoner.
blt would seem that many years ago it was found to
very difficult to identify any cordage which might
have been stolen from the dockyards, and in order to
obviate that a particular worsted thread was introduced
in the manufacture of the 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 passed which enacted that if
any person should take out any of the marks denot-
iog the store to be the property of the Crowo, or
procure any other person to do so, such person should
be found guilty of felony, and should be trans-
ported for fourteen years. In consequence of infor-
mation which had been received on the 23d of
July two constables went to the shop of the prisoner,
who was a mason at Torpoint, and, producing a
search. warrant, proceeded to search his house.
The prisoner's wife was seen to drop something,which
turned out to be part of a rope which bad been unra-
veiled, and a great portion of the worsted taken out.
The officers then proceeded up stairs, and in a room
occupied by Mary Bound 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. The pri-
soner immediately said, " Yes, that's true; I gave it
to her, and I can prove where 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 zeal 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 man 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 Majesty.
Mr. CROWDER said that the jury having already
expressed their opinion upon the former case, he
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
cases.

It appeared that come planks, on which were marks
of the broad arrow, a hammer, and other small arti-
cles, were found in his 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-
mended him to mercy. He was then sentenced to
three months' imprisonment, without hard labour, and
to pay a fine of 51. and Si. costs of suit.
Gertrude Wellington was indicted for the wilful
murder of her male infant child at Luxlian.
The prisoner, upon being called upon, said, "I am
not guilty; it was not my child."

Mr. Cole conducted the case for the prosecution.
Mr. Poulden, at the request of the Learned Judge,
watched the case on behalf of the prisoner, who other-
wise would not have been defended.
We give the facts of
.
the case as detailed in the
evidence.

John Smith—On
21st Iwent —On the morning of Sundae, Mg
, to a pond near Mr. l'arkyns's house, at
Nantcowen, to pick watercresses. I saw what ap^
peared to be the arm of a child. I took it Out of the
pond and went and informed Mr. Parky
mked. I ns. The ch..d
saw a fleshy substance fall from the
was
child as I took it up.
Robert Parky ns--.I went to thc pond and saw
the child lying
by the side of it. I bad the child
taken to the constables. The following day Pain
brought a skirt to me. It was in a very di,......y,
filthy state. The prisoner had lived with me for tea
months.

John Pasco—l-am
Was employed to clean out this pond on the
Monday

morning. I found a skirt in it. There were spots
of blood upon it, and it smelt cansively.t
,The skirt
was about a foot fromthe plece where the child was
found. This is the skirt.
. Cross-examined—We cleaned out the pond because
that was the water we drank.
By the JUDGE—There' was abut' foot of mudin
the pond, and that was offensive when it vCas stirred
up. Die skirt smelt as if a dead animal bad been in
it. It was all under the mud.

Bennett—,l am F; constable.. Oa the 2d.
of 214 I received the. body of a- dead child from
Smith, and I afterwards took it before the coroner. I
subsequently received a,Skirt. It smelt dreadfully
bad, as if something de'ad had beep. wrapped in it.
Cross-examined—lt was not the m!-;aell of mud.

John Ward—l am a surgeon at Bodalin.--0-n the
evening of ttla.2 l of May I saw tip body of the child.
It Wt a remarkably fine child. On_ the following
morning I sew the body before the coroner, and made
a post mortem examination. All the organs, with the
exception of the brain, were in wpErfectly healthy
condition. The lungs were healthy; nearly filling the

decomposed. 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 believe to have been in-
flicted while the child was alive—a large black mark,
extravasation of blood, and a yellowish tint, which
is evidence of the injury having given
been 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 to seven or
eight days before. On the

bed, and found marks as of a confinement having taken place.
Cross-examined--The hydrostatic test is not infal-
lible. The blow was one of great force ; there might
have been instances of the blow having been caused
by delivery; it admits of a possibility. A woman
not then in the best condition to take care of herself.i
s
The blanket had been washed, but the stains had not
disappeared.
Re-examined—l 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 stunned, 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 with me. Some
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 satisfied, 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--I 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 petticoat ; it was a frock with the body cut off.
Cross-examined--I never saw any one wear any-
thing of the sort before.
[lt was 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
brought 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
I wore myself when I relieved the prisoner when she
went home. It was then a frock, and not a petti-
coat, and it has been cut down since.

Elizabeth Jones—l made a gown for the prisoner
three years and a half ago. As far 83 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.
Cross-examined—Perhaps there may be other
go 5-ns of the same pattern.
Mary Stanlake recalled—This is the same skirt, to
all appearance, that the prisoner wore ; but I don't
believe it is same.
Mr. PoULDEN submitted that there was no evidence
to go to the jury.
Mr. 13 iron PLATT said it was necessary that the
child should b 2 proved to be the child of the prisoner.
lle did not know what the jury thought of it.
The jury immediately said there was not sufficient
proof to satisfy them that the child was hers.
The verdict of Not Guilty was therefore taken,
and the prisoner was discharged.
The same woman was acquitted of a similar charge
two years ago.
