COURT OP BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN HE JONATHAN MATTHEWS.-THE SQUABBLE OVER THE

MULLER REWARD.

This matter, which has been before the Court upon so
many occasions recently, was brought under the notice of
the Commissioner again this morning. An offer was made
by the bankrupt to pay ss. in the pound, and upon the last
occasion the Registrar ruled that by a majority of the
creditors the offer had been accepted. A resolution was
prepared, and to-day Mr R. Griffiths, on behalf of the bank-
rupt, applied to his Honour to have it confirmed.
Mr. Brough (for the assignee) objected.
Mr. Griffiths—For whom do you appear ?
Mr. Brough—For the assignee, Mr. Paul.
Mr. Griffiths—He is not a creditor at all.
Mr. Brough—Then I appear for a Mr. Goodwin, who is
a creditor for £52.

His Honour said that the objection was taken under
the 186th Section of the Act.

Mr. Brough submitted that such was the case, and con-
tended that some of the debts had boon by no means
proved. . _ _

His Honour inquired if all the reward was yet in hand.

Mr. Brough replied that the £lOO offered by the North
London Railway Company had been retained by the com-
pany under the order of the bankrupt.
His Honour then declined to confirm the resolution, and
adjourned the consideration of the matter until the settle-
ment of the dispute concerning the reward offered by the
North Loudon Railway Company.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE CHARGE OF WILFUL MURDER OF A CHILD BY ITS
MOTIIER—COMMITTAL.—EIizabeth Suter, the young woman
charged with the wilful murder of her female child, a
month old, by drowning it in the Serpentine, was again
brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt.
The prisoner seemed in great agony of mind, and cried
all the time she was in court.

Mr. Johnson, inspector of the Hyde Park constables,
attended to watch the case.
The evidence taken on the former occasion was that of
Police-constable Lloyd, 97 A, to whom tho prisoner ad-
mitted making away with the child, as a woman to whom
she had taken it would have nothing to do with it.
Matilda Suter, of 9, North-street, St. Mark's-place, West
13rompton, sister-in-law of the prisoner, said the prisoner
on Thursday week lived with her, and had a child about
six weeks old. Prisoner went out on Thursday week,
saying she was going to take the child to the workhouse,
where she had been confined. She returned the next day
without the child, and said she had left it at the work-
house.

A little boy named Philip Golding, living at Eaton-
mews West, said ho was at the Serpentine, and saw
something floating in the water. He got it to the water's
edge, and then told the park constable. It was a baby.
Hyde-park Constable 15 (Richard Henry Lacy) said that
on Friday week his attention was called by the last wit-
ness to the body of a child in the water. He took it to tho
dead-house of Mount-street Workhouse, and on examining
the body he found it to be that of a female child. On one of
the articles it was wrapped in was the name of "E. Suter."
Ann Marsh, nurse at the St. Marylebone Workhouse,
said the prisoner was delivered on the 16th of March, in
the workhouse, of a female child. She remained in the
workhouse a fortnight, and left of her own accord, taking
away the child. She saw the body at the workhouse and
recognised it by a particular mark on the forehead and
eyes. She was certain it was the same child.
Dr. Christian, of Thurloe-place, Brompton, proved seeing
the body of the child at the workhouse, but found it impos-
sible to state the cause of death. There were no external
marks of injury whatever. He had made a post-mortem
examination, and the body was bloodless in the extreme.
The prisoner, who put no questions to any of the wit-
nesses, was then cautioned by Mr. Tyrwhitt, and asked if
she wished to say anything.
She replied that she had nothing to say, and she was
then committed to the Central Criminal Court for trial.
