POLICE INT ELLIGENCE.—Nov. 19.

BOW-STREET.—CnattGEOFPERJIIItYAGAINST
A NOVLEMAN.—WiIIiam Henry Tennison Percy,
Earl of Limerick, was summoned before Mr. Corrie,
to answer the charge of having, on the 25th of July
last, in a certain affidavit sworn at Lincoln's Inn-
fields, committed wilful and corrupt perjury.
Mr. Wontner, solicitor, of Bucklersbury, appeared
for the Earl.
Mr. Gifford, counsel for the prosecution, opened
the case by stating the circumstance under which
the affidavit in question wasmade, during an action
pending between his client, Mr. James W. Deal, a
shipping agent, as plaintiff, and the Earl of Limerick,
defendant. The false allegation was in these words:
—" I swear I had left London for Ireland on the
27th of April previous (meaning the 27th April,
1861), and did not return to England for some
months." He should show that the earl had been
seen at Southampton after the time specified, and
the motive for this assertion, therefore, was
presumed to be his desire to escape the consequences
of disregarding a legal process. The action of Mr.
Deal was to reeover the amount due for shipping
certain goods from Jersey to England, but there
being great difficulty in serving the writ personally
upon the earl, a judge's order was obtained pro-
nouncing the service at his lordship's occasional re-
sidence e:lfficient• The writ was left there accord-
ingly by'the procJ.:T server, and an endorsement made
enidorsement that
to the effect that it had been served on the noble
the subject of
lord; and it was in answer to ta;.,
the affidavit was made which formea
the present summons.
Formal proof having been given in reference t
the affidavit, and also of the service of the writ at
the residence of tha earl (which was not a personal
service, as the endorsement seemed to imply,
Michael Fowler, of Little Bushy Farm, near Wat-
ford, proved that he was at Southampton on May
31, and saw Lord Limerick by the waterside. He
knew his lordship very well, and had some conver-
sation with Mr. Deal, who was also present, about
him.
Cross-examined—l was at Southampton four days.
I know the exact date from the circumstance of its
being the annual fair. 1 was there with some cattle.
Mary Mitchell deposed that she was, in 1861, a
book-keeper at the Dolphin Hotel, Southampton,
and she saw Lord Limerick in the house from the
22d to the 24th of April, and also from the 31st of
May to the let of June.
Benjamin Goater, a waiter at the hotel, and the
porter also, gave evidence to the same effect. They
remembered that his lordship was joined by his son,
Lord Glentworth, and on May 31st the Countess of
ILimerick arrived from Jersey, the defendant being
present to receive her, and subsequently accompa-
nied her to Ryde.
In cross-examining these witnesses Mr. Wontner
detected one or two discrepancies as to alleged dates,
but they were not material to the issue.
Mr. J. W. Deal also proved having seen Lord
Limerick at Southampton on May 31, and again a
month afterwards at the Waterloo station, London.
Mr. MP ontner addressed the court at some length
for the defence, at once admitting that his lordship
had made an erroneous statement or mistake in say-
ing he was not in England, on the 27th of April,
1861, although when he made the affidavit he was
speaking under the firm conviction that such was
the fact. But the event was 13 months antecedent,
and a man might be well mistaken in his impres-
sion as to dates after so long an interval. It was
not pretended now that the service of the writ was
personal, and all his lordship meant to imply was,
that he was not in London at the time when it was
served at his supposed residence. Mr. Wontner
showed the unconscious fallibility of witnesses by
reference to the blunders which the witnesses for
the prosecution had themselves made during his in-
genious cross-examination, although no one would
suppose them guilty of " wilful and corrupt per-
jury." He claimed the same consideration for the
noble lord, who had made a similar error, and
against whom the charge of wilful intention was
equally preposterous.
Mr. Corrie said there appeared to be some reason
for the belief that the mistake was unintentional,
and therefore he should dismiss the summons.

LAMBETH.—CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER.--
Eliza Somms, aged 20, was brought uP
both workhouse, in custodyfrom Lt.m-
of Sergeant Coxhead,
14 L, and placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott on a
charge of wilful murder.
The first witness called was Mrs. Ann Dalby,
who deposed that the prisoner had been in her ser-
vice for some time, and when she came to town four
months ago she brought her with her and obtained
her a situation in t h e house where
sheres ahetltiribte
lived, in
West-square. On the 18th of last month she found
the prisoner in bed, very ill, but this
to a bad cold, and said she had something made up
at a chemist's for it, and thought she should get
better. W:'ness had occasion
to
r.sgwo
u s to
she
it.
On
the andctlhoeset, following d
seeianyg something to excite
icions she called the prisoner and asked her
could account for hheo
admitted that she had givenhirthThteo prisoner
admitted
She subsequently admitted that the child was
born dead, and she had placed it in the copper,
in the washhouse, where it was subsequently found,
perfectly lifeless. The primer further f laid she

was not aware she was so near her time, and that
it had been her intention on receiving her quarter's
wages to proceed to her friends in Gloucestershire,
where she had plenty of things for its use, and be
confined there.
Mr. John W. Wakem, surgeon, of West-square,
said that on Tuesday, Oct. 21 last, he was called to
the house of Mrs. Davidson, in West-square, and
there saw the body of a full-grown male child. He
examined it, and observed the head very much
bruised, particularly on each side, just over each
ear. The navel string was torn about four or five
inches from the navel, and left untied. He after-
wards made a post-mortem examination, and on
dividing the scalp found a large quantity of blood
effused on each side of the head. He also found the
bones of the skull on each side fractured, both the
parietal bones and the temporal bone of the right
side. On removing the bones there was an effusion
of blood between the bones and the membrane of
the brain. He examined the chest and found the
lungs perfectly inflated and presenting the usual
appearances that infants' lungs usually present
when they have breathed. He also found the lungs
floated in water, showing that the child had breathed
after having been born, and it was his opinion that
the child had breathed. The other organs of the
child were perfectly healthy, and he believed that
the child's death was caused by the violence to the
head.
Mr. Elliott—Do you not think the injuries were
of such a nature that a fall on a hard substance, :
the act of giving it birth, had caused them ?
Mr. Wakem—l do not. If injuries had been re-
ceived in that way they must have been on the- top
of the head and not at each side of the ears. I have
attended several cases where women have been de-
livered suddenly while in an upright position, and
the child has fallen, and never saw any injury to
the child. The bones are so elastic, and the navel
string usually acts as a check, And prevents anY
injury to the child. I should say considerable vio-
lence was necessary to produce the injuries I found,
but there was no abrasion nor mark of any instra-
rnent on the skin.
Mr. Elliott—Do you think such injuries would
have been produced by the hand. in the course of
delivery ?
Mr. Wakem—l think not ; and the only thing I
can suggest to produce such injuries would be hat
the woman might have fallen on the child
was born. •
Mr. Elliott—ls it your opinion that the violence
arts
took place before or after death ?
Mr. Wakem—Before death certainly, or there
would not have been extravasated blood on the p
injured. after it
Sergeant Coxhead merely deposed to having taken
the prisoner into custody, and said the coroner's ver"
diet was, that its death had been caused by injuries!
but how, or by whom such injuries were inflicted
' there was no evidence before the coroner and jury
• to show.
The prisoner, who declined offering anything 11
defence, was fully committed to the Central Crialioil
Court to take her trial on a charge of wilful murder.
