and the ebullitions of execretion continued until she was
given into the custody of Adde3r, the gaoler, by whom
she was locked up in one of the cells.
The particulars of what previously transpired in re-
lation to the shocking affair have already appeared in
our paper.
At halft-past two o'clock, the night charges having
been disposed of, the prisoner was brought in and placed
at the bar. As upon the former occasion, she was quite
cool and collected, and. paid not the slightest regard to
the anxiety evinced in the case by a crowded court,
composed principally of very respectable persons, whose
sympathies had been aroused in reference to the, bru-
tality in question.
D, prior to any witness being
Inspector Allison,
called,
„id—Your worship, I have attended at the in-
quest held this day before Mr. Wakley, and the jury
have returned a verdict of wilful murder against Trophy
Knight, the prisoner.
Mr. Long—There can be no doubt as to the correct-
ness of the verdict. (To the Inspector)—You have
other evidence to bring forward, have you not ?
Inspector—l have the mother of the child here, sir.
She was not here before.
Mr. Long—Let her be sworn.
Ann Groves, a respectably attired woman, here got
into the witness box. She was almost overpowered by
her feelings for a time, but after a gush of tears she was
enabled to make her statement.
Mr. Long—Where do you reside ? Witness—At 18,
Berkeley-street, West.
Mr. Long—Are you married or single ? )Vitness—
I am single.
Mr. Long—Did you give birth to a child ? Witness—
I did, sir.
Mr. Long—lnto whose hands did you give it ? Wit-
ness—lnto the prisoner's.
Mr. Long—How old was it ? Witness Eleven
months.
Mr. Long—Had it been baptised ? Witness—Yes.
Mr. Long—What was its name ? Witness—Henry.
It may here be remarked that the few preceding
questions were put in consequence of its having been
stated at the first inquiry before Mr. Long, that neither
he name of the murdered child nor of its mother was

known.
Mr. Long (to witness)—Have you seen the child since
it has been dead ?—Witness—l have not, sir. [She was
here led out by a constable, and after the poor creature
had inhaled some fresh air she was brought in again.]
Mr. Long considered it was necessary that she should
see the child, so that there might be legal and proper
identification thereof. He then directed that the mother
should at once go to the hospital with the view of iden-
tifying the body. She did so, and was accompanied
thither in a cab by Mr. Ormerod, the house surgeon of
the institution, as also by Inspector Allison.
Upon their return the prisoner was again placed at
the bar.
Mr. Long (to Anne Groves)—You have been to the
hospital and seen the body of a child ?—Witness—l
have, sir.
Mr. Long—ls that child yours I—Witness (sobbing)
—lt is, sir.
There being no further evidence, the whole of the de-
positions were read over by Mr. Phillips, the clerk.
Mr. Long (to the prisoner)—You are charged with
the wilful murder of a child ; have you anything to say.
You are not obliged to say anything unless you think
proper ; but whatever you do say will be taken down in
writing, and may be given in evidence against you upon
your trial.
Prisoner (calmly)—l shall reserve my defence.
She was fully committed for trial for the murder of
the infant, and when brought out of the cell by Addey,
the gaoler, and led by him to the van which was to
carry her to Newgate, the execrations against her were
renewed.

SOUTHWARK.--In the course of the afternoon
Jane Harrington, a dirty-looking female, 26 years of
age, described in the charge sheet as the wife of a car-
penter's labourer, residing at No. 5, Harrow-street, Mint-
street, a densely-populated neighbourhood, chiefly inha-
bited by the lowest of characters, was brought before
Mr. A'Eeckett by Sergeant Golding, No, 7 M, an active
officer, charged with wilfully administering a deleterious
drug to her infant child, 17 days old, with intent to de-
stroy its life.
The prisoner, who was remanded, seemed to be quite
unconscious of the offence she was charged with. She
appeared to be labouring under a species of insanity ;
and 'was, by direction of the magistrate, conveyed to
Horsemonger-lane Gaol.
