the coatents of one of them, In which Cunningham
requested to be knoWn only by the name off nth',
and 'that if any inquiries were made after him he
was gone to Australia. Witness had brought both
prisoners from the stationlouse to the court that
day in a cab, and while on the way Currie said to
Cunningham, "You know that 'know nothing about this
affair." Cunningham replied, "No, you don't." NiTiess
then said to Cunningham, "I am informed that you
delivered Miss Mardon, at Stockwell, o£ a child, and
that you gave a gravedigger . half-a-crown to take it
away." Cunningham, in reply, said, "It was no ding
at all—it was a polypus."
Mrs. Ann Mardon proved that she was the wife of Mr.
John Mardon, a retired bookseller, residing at No:
26, Ely-place, Holborn, and that.' Elizabeth Mardon
spoken of was her daughter, and was twenty-two yeti's
of age in March last. She knew that her daughter had
gone to Mrs. Halcomb's for change of air, on the ree gg-
mendation of two medical gentlemen. She did rot
know that her daughter was in the fathily-way. She
did not know either of the prisoners, and had never to
her knowledge seen them before the present time.
Mr. Superintendent Lund said that this was all the
evidence he was prepared with on the present occasion,
and asked for a remand to a future day, and to such time
as the young lady should be able to attend.
Mr. Norton complied with this request, at the same
time refusing the application of Mr. Binns to admit the
prisoners to bail.
On Saturday, Mr. Giorge Thomas, a chemist, in Lea-
ther-lane, Holborn, was charged with having been con-
cerned in. the above misdemeanour.
-The first witness was Mr. Lund, superintendent of the •
P division, who deposed to the prisoner having admitted
to bins that he recollected a young female calling on bins
in January last, whom he referred to Dr. Smith of Nor-
folk-street.
Sergeant Quinnear stated that when he apprehended
the prisoner he asked him if he remembered giving a
young lady a letter to Dr. Smith of Norfolk-street, and
he said he did not recollect, though he might have done
so.

Superintendent Lund said at the next hearing he pro-
posed
to show that the lady was introduced to Dr. Smith
(as he was called) by the prisoner.
He was then remanded, and bail refused.
The name of the father of the child has transpired; and
he has been traced to have taken the lodging for the young lady at which the operation was performed. Upon
hearing that the case was to undergo investigation, the
father of the child, who is an eminent preacher in the city
of London, waited upon Mr. Greenwood, to entreat him
to keep the matter secret ; and hinted that he might
name any price for his compliance. Mr. Greenwood re- _
jected the proposition, upon which the clergyman ex-
claimed, " Then I am like a fallen star from the firma-
ment of heaven !" He left his residence immediately ;
but, nevertheless, he preached a sermon on Sunday
morning.week to a very crowded congregation.

THE ARREST OF TWO ROMAN CATHOLIC
BISHOPS.

BIRMINGHAM, Friday.-- Since the arrival of Dr. Ulla-
thorne and Dr. Moore, at Warwick Gaol they have
been visited by many of the Catholic gentry and clergy
of the district. The bishop has issued an address to the
clergy under his jurisdiction, in which he explains the
circumstances that led to his and Dr. Moore's arrest.
He says :—During the administration of my predeces-
sor, the late Right Rev. Dr. Walsh, the late Charles
Brown Mostyn, Esq., was desirous of adding to the
endowment of the mission at Radford, in the immediate
vicinity, of his residence at Kiddington, in Oxfordshire.
For that purpose he gave 80 shares in the Monmouth-
shire and Glamorganshire Banking Company, and trans-
ferred them into the names of the Right Rev. Dr.
Walsh, then vicar apostolic of the central district, and
the Right Rev. Dr. Wiseman, then President of St. Mary'a
College at Oscott, and, by a formal deed of trust, he ap-
pointed that their successors in those offices, for the time
being, should always be the holders of these shares in
trust for the Radford mission. On my succeeding-Dr.,
Walsh as vicar apostolic, I also succeeded to the trust,
together with the Rev. Dr. Moore, the succeeding presi-
dent of Oscott, but, as is obvious, without taking any
beneficial
