Q UEEN- SQUARE.

Thomas Baker was brought up in custody and placed at
the bar before Messrs. GREGORIE and BURRELL, charged
with assaulting James Bedford, a workman in the employ
of Mr. Thomas Cubitt, under the following circumstances :
A solicitor, on behalf of the complainant, stated that
although the case was only one of a common assault, yet it
was of considerable importance on account of the intimi-
dating and threatening language of the members of the
Trades' Unions towards the men in Mr. Thomas Cubitt's
employ ; it had arrived at such a pitch that the men were
in danger of their lives.
The complainant had been in Mr. Cubitt's employ about
thirteen Years. On Friday afternoon he was at work in a
brickfield near the Belgrave-road, Pimlico ; the prisoner
and a number of other men came into the field and abused
him, calling him all manner of names for signing the mas-
ters' document ; a boy there attempted to strike com-
plainant, and he seized him by the collar to prevent him,
when the prisoner came up, struck him a violent blow on
the face, and knocked him down ; when he got up the pri-
soner struck him several other blows, and witness went away
and got a police constable, who took him into custody.
J. Walsh, another workman in Mr. Cubitt's employ, cor-
roborated the above evidence.

The prisoner, in reply, admitted that he struck the com-
plainant, but he struck him first.
A witness for the defence could not say who struck first.
The Magistrates, having consulted together, said that
they would mitigate the fine to 31., and if this was not paid,
he would be committed for two months to the House of
Correction.

The prisoner was then locked up.
One of Mr. Cubitt's men here applied to the Magistrates
for protection against the men belonging to the Trades'
Union. They were afraid to go about their work from the
threats held out to them. Only on Friday he was abused,
and pelted with brickbats because he was at work.
Mr. GREGOIUE told him if he would point out any of the
leaders he should have a warrant against them instantly ;
such a state of things ought to be immediately put a stop to.

HATTON-GARDEN.
Just after Mr. Sergeant SELLON had taken his seat on
the bench, Mr. Inspector Titterton, of E division, entered
the office, and gave information of the following supposed
murder, which was committed on Friday night last.
On Friday night last a boy in the service of Mr. Boon,
solicitor, of No. 35, Keppel-street, Russell-square, had
occasion to go into the garden, when he discovered some-
thing lying on the gravel-walk, and on approaching the
spot he found it to be the body of a child covered Fith
blood. He immediately returned to the house and informed
his master of the circumstance, and he instantly called in a
police constable, Stannard, 56 E division, who wrapped the
body of the infant up and carried it to the station-house in
George-street, St. Giles's, where, on examining the body, it
was found to be literally dashed to pieces. Inspector Lin-
coln, who was on duty, ordered the constable to take the
body of the child to the workhouse, and, feeling satisfied
that murder had been committed, he also directed Stannard
and Sergeant Payne to proceed to the spot, and use the
utmost exertions to discover the perpetrator: Inspector
Titterton immediately proceeded to make inquiry, and on
ascertaining that the body of the child was found in the
garden belonging to Mr. Boon's house, he called at that
gentleman's house, when the family were all in bed, the
time being near 1 o'clock in the morning. He informed Mr.
Boon the nature of his visit, on which he was imme-
diately admitted to the house, and the two servants were
called out of bed, but there was no appearance in them indica-
tive of their being the murderers. He then proceeded to
the garden, where he found a quantity of blood, and on
examining the ground and garden-wall with a light he plainly
traced the marks of human blood from the spot on which
the deceased child was found to the house of Mrs. Stukey,
a widow lady, residing at No. 36, Keppel-street, and he in-
stantly suspected that the murderers of the child must be
in the house, and he repaired thither with haste and knocked
at the door, which was opened, and he inquired for Mrs.
Stukey, who had been entertaining her brother and a party
of ladies and gentlemen on that evening. The appearance
of the Inspector at that hour of the morning created the
utmost alarm and confusion, and he mentioned as deli-
cately as possible to Mrs. Stukey and her brother the na-
ture of the mission upon which he entered. Mrs. Stukey
and the whole of the party were struck with amazement,
said that it was impossible that any person in her house
could have committed the crime. Mr. Titterton, however,
begged to see her two female servants, who were at the time
in bed, and they were called up. One of them came
down, and the Inspector felt satisfied that she was not the
delinquent. Shortly afterwards another of the servants,
named Harriet Chalice, was called down ; her counte-
nance was ghastly, she trembled, and her general demea-
nour bespoke guilt. She affected to be in a great passion,
and quite indignant at being disturbed by a " set of common
policemen," and said she would answer none of their ques-
tions. Whilst thus engaged Mr. Titterton perceived that
her hands and apparel were covered with blood, and he told
her to compose herself, and then requested Mrs. Stukey, her
brother, and the ladies, to step into the parlour, when he
communicated to them what he had seen, and she was in-
stantly brought before them and examined, when her hands
were found stained, but on being questioned she replied
that the appearances were naturally caused. Dr. Dixon,

—....--. •
of Russell-square, was procured, and on examining the. ge"
vant he gave it as his decided opinion that she -bad. ei
delivered of a child a short time before. She maintain a
the utmost calmness during the whole of the time, AF,,„
after the examination she ran up stairs in the most ag'u
manner possible, and went to bed. Mr. Titterton then
quitted the house, leaving her under the custody of one of
his constables during the morning. In the course of the
morning she evinced the greatest remorse and conaPutle-
tion, was dreadfully restless, and her eyes sunk into her
her
head, when she begged to have an interview with
mistress. Stannerd immediately intimated her wish, wbbene
the desired interview took place, and she confessed that, $l.l
