Serious Charge against a Magistrate's Son.

--.....-....._-

Great excitement has been created at Stafford by the
arrest of Mr. G. F. Griffin, draper, son of Mr. G. Griffin,
one of the oldest and most respected borough magistrates,
on a charge of aiding and abetting Therza Tunstall, his
father's housekeeper, to conceal the birth of her female
child, of which he is alleged to be the father. The facts of
the case, which are very remarkable, are these :—Tunstall
is a young woman about 25 years of age, whose parents
reside near Stafford, and who for five or six years has
lived in Mr. J. Griffin's service as housekeeper. The
accused, Mr. G. F. Griffin, is in partnership with his
father, and resides under the same roof. It seems that
about noon on Saturday, the 23d inst., some children, who
were playing on the banks of the river Mawddych, near
Dolgelly, the county town of Merionethshire, observed a
parcel floating on the river, and called to a man, who got
it out. On the parcel being opened it was found to contain
the body of a newly-born female child, wrapped up in a news-
paper, the Manchester Examiner and Times, of Sept. 16, and
a calico wrapper, such as are used in drapers' shops. The
child was very carefully wrapped up, the limbs being bent
double, so as to get the body into a small compass. The
body was taken charge of by Captain H. H. Lloyd Clough,
the chief constable of Merionethshire, and the inquest was
opened „on Tuesday last, before Mr. G. J. Williams, the
coroner kir the county, at the policerstation, Dolgelly, and
adjourned till Monday next. A post-mortem examination
of the body was afterwards made, when marks of violence
were found on the throat and skull. The case was left by
the coroner in the hands of Captain Clough, who, acting
upon information received, put himself in communication
with Colonel Hogg, the chief constable of Staffordshire
The newspaper in which the child was wrapped bore the
name of Mr. G. E. Griffin, in pencil, and this and other cir-
cumstances led_ to his arrest on Thursday afternoon, as he
was shooting with soma friends in Shropshire. Tunstall,
his father's housekeeper, was also arrested on the same
day. She admitted having given birth to a child on the
21st ult. The prisoner Griffin is knoWn to have left the
town about the time indicated with a portmanteau, which,
from statements made by the woman, is supposed to have
contained the child's body. Yesterday morning both pri-
soners were taken before the mayor of Stafford and other
magistrates, who remanded them for further evidence.
Tunstall was removed in custody, but the prisoner Griffin
was admitted to bail, himself in the sum of £5OO and two
sureties in the sum of £250 each.
