The African Steam Ship Company.
(Meeting This Day.)

At the meeting to-day of this company the directors
announced that the balance remaining at the credit of
revenue account, after making all charges, is £4,824165. 4d.
The service has been performed during the last six
months with the usual regularity, and, notwithstanding the
great risks attaching to navigation en the West African
Coast, the ships have been entirely free from casualties.
This circumstance, combined with the generally more pro-
fitable result of the half-year's operation,9, has enabled your
directors, after making every financial
.provision consistent
with the prudent management of the company, to exhibit a
larger balance than usual for division among the proprie-
tors, and they recommend that a dividend of 8s per share,
free of income-tax, for the half-year ending 31st October
last, be declared. This payment will absorb £4,403 4s, and
leave £421 lis 4d to be carried forward to next half-year's
account.

The report W 49 UnallinlOUgly adopted after a short dis
cussion.

CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day,)

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Channel].)
CHARGE or CHILD MURDER.
Fanny Woolfe, 23, was indicted for the wilful murder of
her illegitimate female child. She pleaded not guilty.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was, in
November last, in the service of a family residing at Hamp-
stead, as cook ; no suspicion had been created as to the state
of the prisoner, but during the night she complained of
being in great pain to a fellow servant sleeping in the same
room. From what afterwards transpired it was certain she
had been confined during the night. and in the morning she
was questioned as to whether the child had been born alive.
On searching a drawer in the prisoner's room, the dead
body of a child was found, and from its appearance, Mr.
Lord, a surgeon in the neighbourhood, was called in, who
was of opinion the child had been born alive, and had
been submerged in water, causing its death.
In answer to questions put by the judge, ➢Tr. Lord ad-
mitted that suffocation might have erisen accidentally from
a female herself attempting to perform the duties of a medi-

cal man.
Mr. Sleigh addressed the jury for the prisoner, and
The learned Judge having summed up the evidence,
The jury after a few minutes' deliberation returned a ver-
dict of not guilty.
