HATTON GARDEN.

Yesterday lktary Baldwin, alias Afary Bryant, a tall,
masculine-looking woman, with a black eye and ferocious
countenance, was brought before Messrs. ROGERS and
BE NETT, in the custody of Thrnton,s3 E division, charged
by Mrs. Mary Ann Harwood, a lady residing in Park-
buildings, Bloomsbury, with having assaulted Agnes Bryant,
her own child, a line little creature three years of age, and
attempting to destroy its life.
Mrs. Haremod, at about half-past five o'clock on Thurs-
day evening last, was passing by the end of King-street,
Holborn, when she saw the prisoner, who was rather in-
toxicated, beating and kicking the child, which lay upon the
pavement, covered with a bag, and the prisoner was swearing
at it spitefully, whilst the piteous cries of the infant were
heart-rending. Witness and several other persons remon-
strated with her on the cruelty of her conduct, but they
only received her abuses and to excite them further, she put
the child in the lerg and commended beating it along the
street and dashing it on the pavement with violence
until she arrived in Broad-street, Bloomsbury. [A sen-
sation of horror and indignation was here felt and ex-
pressed
by every person in the Court, and the epithet
" wretch" was applied to the prisoner.] The witness con-
tinued, that she frequently requested her to desist from
her ill-usage, and she was joined by many other re-
spectable individuals, who threatened to give her into cus-
tody, but it bad no effect upon her, and on her arrival in
High-street, opposite St. Giles's church, she saw an om-
nibus coming along, when she ran into the road, and
placed the child in a situation evidently with the intention
to deprive it of life by causing it to be run over, making
use of horrid expressions, wishing that it might be killed,
which it would have been had not some passengers rescued
it from its perilous situation, and the prisoner was given
into the custody of a police constable, who took her to
the station-house.

Mr. RoGE as—ls she known ?—lnspector Campbell, of
the E division, replied that she was a most infamous wretch,
and was connecLed with a family in St. Giles's who were
the most notorious and incorrigible vagrants in all London.
Mr. ROGEr:S and Mr. BENNETT concurred that they
never beard of a more infamous wretch in all their lives,
and her conduct was deserving of the most extreme pu-
nishment.

Prisoner (bellowing)—Oh ! let me have my child—it is
very ill, and must be with me.
The prisoner was then convicted in the extreme penalty
51., and, in default of payment, to be committed to the
House of Correction for six weeks.

The Magistrates ordered that the child should be taken
to the House of Correction by Waddington, the gaoler,
and that it should be placed in the Infirmary, aud receive
every proper medical treatment, and it was ultimately taken
to the prison with its unnatural mother, against whom so
much indignation was manifested that she was tooted out
of the office.
