CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day.)

THIRD EDITION.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Channell.)
CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER.
Mary Ann Hamilton, married, was indicted for Um wil-
ful murder of her son Henry.

The facts of the case were of a most painful description.
On the night of the 15th of December, tho prisoner met
police constable 16 F, and told him she wanted to give her-
self up for murdering her son. She told him want and dis-
tress had driven her to the deed. He went to the residence
of the prisoner, Rebecca-court, Wells-street, and there found
the body of the child ; it had a piece of linen tied very tightly
round its throat, and was quite dead. The place was in a
most wretched state of poverty.

The jury acquitted the prisoner on the ground of insanity.

NEW COURT.
[(Before Mr. Justice Willes.)

THE BURGLARY' AT PADDINGTON.

Two men named Pusey, Reeves, and a woman named
Collett, were indicted for burglariousy break:llg and en-
tering the dwelling-house of a lady named Green, residing
at 5, Fulham-place, Paddington.
The facts of the case have already appeared at length in
The Sun, during the examination of the prisoners before
Mr. Yardley, and it will be recollected that on the evening
of the 24th of October, the room of the lady, Mrs. Green,
who had been confined by illness for some months, was
entered by two men, one tall, and the other short, the
former wearing a black mask, and they both imme-
diately commenced breaking open the secretarie and drawer
and rifling the contents. The tall man went up to the
lady and struck her two or three blows with a life-preserver.
Sho begged them to spare her life and she would tell them
anything they desired. While they were thus engaged, one
of the domes is servants, named Sarah Askew, entered the
room and there saw the men, when they made their escape,
taking with them a quantity of plate that was in Mrs.
Green's bedroom—her watch and other articles. After they
had left the place a life-preserver, a screw driver, and a
crape mask were found in the rocm. The woman Collett
had been formerly engaged as nurse to Mrs. Green, and
from certain suspicious circumstances she had been dis-
charged and forbidden the house. She had been seen in the
company of Reeves and Pusey, and therefore was sus-
pected of being concerned in the rubbery.
The domestic servants of Mrs. Green, and the police,
having been examined,
Ellen Green was called, who said—l know the pri-
soner Pusey. In the month of October I was coha-
biting with Pusey at 1, Nightingale-street. I know
the prisoner Reeves, and 1 heard about the robbery
in Fulham-place. Reeves was living at 27, Victoria-place,
Bayswater, I have been there with Pusey, but sinoe that I
have been there alone. I was there on Tuesday, Thursday,
and Friday before the robbery. On the Thursday
and Friday Pusey came. Pusey's sister was living
with Reeves, I have slept at that house, On the 17th
of October I was at the house and went out in the
evening about seven or eight o'clock with Reeves's sister.
I know there is a pawnbroker in Church-street. Pusey's
sister went into the shop, and we went into Bell-street,
when we met Pusey, who showed us a latch-door key, and
said, " I've been there and it wont fit." Pusey asked his
sister to give him some more money to buy another. Sho
did so, and he left to purchase the key. I afterwards saw
Pusey near the Bridge House Hotel. He asked mo if I had
Pusey
wel showed
eft
the
bl
ic.
seen George (Reeves). We went into the public-house and
had some rum andwater,
light.when
After
latch key over the gas
house and went towards Fulham-place, Pusey's
sister and myself left them, and Reeves and Pusey
turned down Fulham-place, where we remained. I saw
Reeves with his back against the lamp post when Pusey
came to him. The two men then left the place near which
they had been, and when they came up to us:said, "The key
wont fit, it wants filing." After this I left, but on the fol-
lowing Friday I went to Reeves's lodgings again. While
I was there Pusey came in and we all went out together
about seven o'clock. We went towards Paddington, the
two min left us near the Harrow-road. I and my companion
went to James-street, Eastbourne-terrace, and afterwards
we went to the Queen publichouse, where we saw
Mrs. Collett, whom I had never before seen. I
first saw her outside Mrs. Carr's house in James-street.
Pusey's sister threw a stone down the area, and Mrs.
Collett came out with a jug in her hand and without a bon-
net. When she came into the public-house she entered
into conversation with Reeves and Pusey. I was asked to
go and find Mrs. Collett's husband, so I left the other four
in the public-house. I found him, and we returned toge-
ther to the Queen public-house. After a short time Mrs.
Collett went back to the house with the beer, and we all
left for a walk round the square. Pusey left me a week
afer the robbery. About a fortnight after this I saw Reeves
in company with Pusey's sister. She said, '° We've notbeen
home lately, as the police were looking after them. I've had
to cut George's moustache off, and he's got a bad cold
through it." I know the life preserver now put into my hand.
I have seen it before at Reeves' lodging, and have blown the
whistle at the end of it. I saw some black crape there on
thetrhursday.

Cross-examined—l have been tried and convicted for un-
lawful possession. I was sent to prison for six months I
never cohabited with a man named Macdonald. I have
known him for some time, but he was not convicted at the
time I was. He was sent to prison for 18 months, not for
the same offence for which I was sent to prison. I don't know
for what ho was convicted. I lived with Pusey for about a
month or five weeks. I had no quarrel with him before
that. I afterwards heard that ho had gone back to his wife
I had no quarrel with him before I gave my evidence. I had a
quarrel with his wife. After I had given my evidence to
Mr. Lewis I first saw by the newspapers that the prisoners
were apprehended. I was subpoenaed to attend by the
police.

Re-examined—l was convicted for the unlawful posses-
sion of some clothes, which had bees given' o me by a young
man. They asked me to tell the name and address of the
young man. I refused, and got six months. Tho occasion
of the quarrel with Pusey's wife was that she stabbed me
with a knife. She is now in prison for the offence.
The jury had not returned their verdict when wo went
to press.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

DI ARLBOROUGII-STREET.

Trn STABBING CASE IN PORTLAND PLACE.—This
morning, Mr. Tyrwhitt, the sitting magistrate, was waited
upon by Inspector Stokes, to take the deposition of Henry
Beckett, now lying in the Middlesex Hospital, suffering
from peritonitis, the effect of a stab he received at the hands
of a man named John Quigley, on the 27th of December
last, at No. 10, Portland-place.
Mr. Ty:whitt wont to the hospital accompanied by the
chief clerk (Mr. Leadley) and Mr. Willis, the usher, and
took the injured man's deposition, which was to the effect
that he went, being the time-keeper, and having authority
to do so, to the house, and called on the prisoner to come
out of a room in which he was locked, and that he refused,
but on the door b. ing opened ho stabbed him in the belly
with a knife through several thicknesses of clothes,

The injured man having signed the deposition, the
magistrate retired.
_ _

Mr. Marshall, Mr. Gambier, and Mr. Hunt, of the
Middlesex Hospital, have been unremitting in their atten-
tion to the injured man, who is not expected to survive
many hours.

The prisoner will be brought to the court on Friday.

ROBBING A SOLICITOR'S STUDENT.—Rebecca White,
a young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
stealing a gold watch of the value of £lO, the property of
Mr. George Thomas, of 10, Cambridge-street, Pimlico.
The prisoner met the prosecutor at two this morning,
near the Guards' Clubhouse, King's-place, St. James's,
when she asked him to treat her with some brandy and
water. He consented to do so, and went to the Fox and
Grapes public house close by for tho purpose. On coming
out of the house he stood for a minute at the corner of a
street, when the prisoner put her arms round him, and he
then felt his chain dangling down and his watch gone. On
accusing her of taking it she denied doing so, but stooped
down and fumbled about her dress, He then heard a chink
in an area, and on giving prisoner into custody, and subse-
quently searching in the area, he found the ring.
Salisbury, 116 C, said, after corroborating the latter part
of the prosecutor's statement, that although the prisoner
had been searched at the station, nothing was found
on her.

Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week.
THE HORSE AND ITS TREATMENT.—John Bedding-
ham, in the employ of Mr. Walden, of Westminster, a
meat carrier for butchers, was charged at the instance of
Mr. William Love, Superintendent of the Royal Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Pall-mall, with
cruelty to a horse.
Heifer and Rutherford, two of the society's officers, saw
the horse drawing a cart in which there was a quantity
of meat, and observing that it was in a wretched state,
they examined it, and found that it had a dropped shoul-
der, both knees broken, and a wound on its back, into
which the saddle was pressing. The horse was com-
pletely worn out, and the defendant told them that his
mistress had taken it in exchange for another.

In answer to a question, Heifer said the horse was only
fit to be slaughtered.
The horse was brought to the Court, and certainly was in
a most pitiable condition, and but for the interference of the
officers of the society would soon have died in the street..
It is even doubtful, though employed in butcher's work, and
renowned as they are for making any animal go, whether
it could be got more than to crawl.

The owner having been sent for, and consented to have it
slaughtered, the defendant was discharged, the officers being
ordered to see that it was destroyed.

COTTON TO NEW YORK.—The demand for steam-
ships to carry cotton from Liverpool to New York still con-
tinues, and yesterday the steamer Bahiana, Commanler
Sharp (lately engaged in the Red Sea Telegraph Com-
pany's service) was taken up for the conveyance of cotton
from Liverpool to America. The Bahiana is a first-class
steamer, and as the quick transit of cotton from Liverpool
to New York is desirous, the charterers will not be disap-
poluted, The Bahiana will 'ail in a few days,
