CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(More Mr. Baron MARTIN.)
CONSPIRACY.—Martha Bockington, a young woman
who had been concerned in the Smythe conspiracy, was
put to the bar, and indicted for the same offence which
Foreman and Smythe were convicted of yesterday,
namely, conspiring with the man to procure his victims
of seduction. The prisoner pleaded not guilty, and, no
evidence being offered in support of the indictment, the
jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
The Learned JUDGE directed that she should be dis-
charged, observing that he had little doubt that the pri-
soner bad been the dupe of the man, and as there would
have been great difficulty in establishing the case, the
prosecutors had pursued a merciful and proper course in
offering no evidence.
Mr. PAYNE applied to the Court to order the expenses
of these prosecutions, which he said had been undertaken
by the London Society for the Protection of Young
Females. _ _ _

The COURT considered the application was a very rea-
sonable one, considering the enormity of the offence
which had been brought home to the prisoners, and the
expenses were ordered accordingly.
MANSLAUGHTER.-Sarah tnitchorn, aged 73, de-
scribed as a widow, was indicted for feloniously killing and
slaying Henry Greenaway. She pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Huddiestone appeared for the prosecution. The
prisoner was undefended.
The prisoner had been a nurse in the children's ward
of Camber well Workhouse. On the 26th of 'Match last,
the prisoner had charge of a child two years uid, named
Henry Greenaway. The child was suffering from diar-
rhea s, end it cried very much for something to drink. The
prisoner gave it some tea, but not enough to satisfy it,
and it trial for more. The prisoner, however, would
give it no more, but hit it a blow on the face, and then
put is to bed. During the night it was very restless, and
rolled out of bed, striking its head against an iron bed-
stead. The child was taken up and placed in bed again,
but a few minutes afterwards the prisoner came into the
ward, and, taking it up, threw the child forceably on to
another bed, exclaiming," You little villain, lie there." A
young woman who was also in the ward at the time ob-
served to the prisoner, " You'll kill the poor little thing."
To which the prisoner coarsely replied, " And a d--
good job, too, for then I shall be rid of him." The young
woman told her that she should complain to the authori-
ties of her conduct, but this only made the prisoner
more violent, and she declared that it should be the
worse for the young woman if she said anything about
what had passed. TLe child's head struck against the
side of the bed, causing a wound which bled very much.
It lay insensible for about half:au-hour,. when the pri-
soner took it up again and beat it. The following night
the same violence was repeated, and ultimately the child
expired, when it was discovered, that the immediate
cause of death was the bursting of a blood-vessel in its
temple, which the medical officer of the workhouse attri-
buted to a blow or a fall.
The prisoner denied having ill-used the child, and de-
clared that the injuries upon the head were caused by its
falling several times out of bed.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and
The COURT sentenced her to be imprisoned for
eighteen months with hard labour.

THIRD CO UR7.
(Before the CoMaION-SERGEANT.)
Charles Gains, a marine store dealer, carrying on
business in Leather-lane, Holborn, was indicted for re-
ceiving a pestle and mortar, several glasses, files, and
other articles, knowing them to have been stolen.
Mr. Bodkin prosecuted, and Mr. Bal'anon° defended
the prisoner.
It appeared that the prosecutor, Mr. Button, is a
chamist in Holborn, and that for a considerable time
past he had mused a variety of articles from his shop.
Suspicion ultimately fell upon a lad named Bacon, who
was employed by the prosecutor as errand-boy, and on
being taken into custody he confessed to having carried
051 ;-,,t-,;.,(-.ry for .OL'l5 and
diapossd of his ill-gotten gain to the prisoner
for trifling sums. The shop in Leather-lane
was searched by the police, but only a small

portion of the stolen property was found. The lois°
attended before thy magt.trate, at Bacon's examtnatov;
and admitted that he had purchased the pestle es.d
mortar, and other things mentioned, but denied that:
had any suspicion as to their being stolen. 11" g;
however, taken into custody, and committed to this coral
for trial.
The boy Bacon, who is now a prisoner in Newgite;
was brought into the witness-box, and said he had beeo
the
months, the habit of robbing his employer for six or ssl,
months, and of always disposing of the articles to
prisoner.
Other evidence having been given in support eftbe
charges,
Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the jury for the defenctie'
contending that when the prisoner received the POPer.
he had not the slightest suspicion that the lad had 001",„
by it dishonestly.
The COMMON SERGEANT having summed up,
The jury Acquitted the prisoner.
