E MBA() DINARY CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER—
Margaret Macarthy, a widow about 36 years of age, who
has been leading a very irregular lite, was brought before
Mr. Partridge, charged with the wilful murder of her ille-
gitimate child.

Frederick Lincoln, a police constable, No. 291 K, said
that a man came to him last night on the Globe-bridge,
Mile end-roao, and informed him that a woman had just
been down to the banks of the canal with an infant in her
arms and returned without it. The prisoner was pointed
out to him as the person, and he saw her about 12 yards
from the canal and walking away from it. He asked her
what she did there, to which she made no reply. He then
asked her what she had done with the child which she was
carrying a few minutes previously, and she said she had
given it to a woman, He then took her into custody, and
told her the charge against her for making away with her
child. He looked about the place where he fi st saw th,
prisoner, and at two o'clock this rooming found an old bed-
tick lying close to a gas lamp, in the Longfellow road, near
the canal He had since draggeo the canal near where he
took the prisoner, bu cou'd not find any child.
Inspector Griffin. of the K division, said the prisoner had
been charged several times with deserting her three chil-
dren and leaving them chargeable to the Mile•end Old
Town. He knew she had been once sent to prison
Ortti of her children, an infant, was illegitimate, and the
father of it was a man named Downey, with whom she co-
habited.

The prisoner said that all her children were in the Mile
end workhouse.

Mr Partridge—That can be very easily ascertained
Your conduct last night was very suspicious, and I shal
certainly remand you. Where is the man who first caller,
the pol•ceman's attention to the woman ?

Lincoln—He is a postman, and cannot attend this morn
ing.

Mr. Partridge—He must be here.
The pr goner was then remanded.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
Our market to day was rather scantily supplied with
beasts. Prime breeds commanded a steady sale, at an ad-
vance in the quotations, compared with Monday, of 2d pet
Blbs---the best Scots having realised 48 10c1 per 81bs; but
interior stock moved off slowly, at late rates. We were
moderately supplied with sheep, and the mutton tradt
generally was firm at full prices. The best Downs in the
wool sold at 5s 8d ; out of the wool, 4s 8d per Blbs. Lamb's
wool in fair supply and sluggish request, on easier term-.
Prices ranged from 6s 8d to 7s 8d per Blbs. There was an
improved demand for calves, at 2d per 81los more money.
Pigs and milch cows sold heavily, at late rates.
