(Before the RECORDER and Alderman FARNCOMB.)
CASE OF POLSONING.—Upon the application of Mr. CLARK-
80x, who appeared for Mary Spry and Mary Ann IJore, who
stand charged with the murder of an infant child, the former
being the grandmother and the latter the mother of the
it was considered by the Court that the body should
be placed in the hands of Mr. Taylor, the eminent chemist
at Guy's Hospital, for the purpose of having the contents of
the stomach analysed. The two prisoners, who occupy a
I.."Pectable position in society. were charged upon a coroner's
inquisition, and serious doubts have since seen entertained
as to the truth of the statement that the death of the child
was caused by the administration of poison.
41bert Brown, cabinet-maker, aged 21, was indicted with
stealing, in the dwelling-house of Charles Wyeth. one watch
and chain, value 141., the property of William Vaughan.
William Vaughan deposed that the prisoner lived in the
'sone house with him, and that he quitted suddenly on the
,20th of July without giving any notice. On the same day
us missed the watch and chain. He received a letter from
the prisoner a few days afterwards, stating that the watch
was at Chatham, and the chain in a pawnbroker's shop in
the Westminster-road. Upon making inquiries, he found
out the prisoner, and he then admitted that he had taken the
property in• question.
Mr. Attenborough, of the Western-road, pawnbroker,
Proved that the chain was pledged with him by the prisoner.
, A person of the name of Nathan stated that the prisoner
mid offered the watch to him for sale.
The prisoner's employer gave him a good character.
The RECORDER having summed up,
• The jury found a verdict of Guilty, and he was sentenced
to imprisonment for six calendar months, in the House of
Correction, with hard labour.
G eorge Lewis was indicted with defrauding William
Hurst out of the sum of two guineas, upon the representation
that it was due as a fee to the district surveyor.
The prosecutor stated that he was the owner of a beer-shop
in Shoe-lane, and that he placed the prisoner, who was his
Servant and assistant, in the shop for the purpose of carrying
an the business. In May last certain repairs were going on
at the shop, and on the 28th he gave two guineas to the pri-
soner, who stated that it had been claimed by the district
Surveyor, as his fee for superintending the alterations under
the Building Act. The prisoner told him that in the first
instance the surveyor claimed 51., but ultimately he had got
it reduced to two guineas. In the beginning of June he dis-
covered that the proper fee was only 30s.
Mr. Kemp, clerk to the district surveyor, Mr. Stevens, said
he called upon the prisoner on the 28th of May, and handed
him a paper with a fee of 308. marked upon it. The prisoner
told him to call again in the course of the day, which he did,
when he paid him 1/., and promised to pay the remainder if
he came again during the week. He never made a demand of
5/. or of 21. on any occasion. Mr. Hurst, the prosecutor, paid
him the remaining 10s. on the discovery of the fraud.
Mr. Bond, au accountant, stated -that the prisoner had
giren credit to the prosecutor for two guineas in his books,
and had inserted the amount as a payment to the district sur-
Veyor.
In the course of Mr. Ballantyne's speech for the defence,
the prisoner was seized with a kind of hysterical fit, and the
business of the Court had to be suspended while he was being
removed.

The Jury found a verdict of Guilty, and he was sentenced
to be imprisoned for three calendar months, with hard labour.
