CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron MARTIN.)

CONSPIRACY .—Martha liockinyton, 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.
MANsLATIGHTER.—Sarah W hitchorn, 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 Camberwell Workhouse. On the 26th of Mach last,
the prisoner had charge of a child two years old, named
Henry Greenaway. The child was suffering from diar-
rhass, and it cried very much for something to drink. The
prisoner gave it some tea, but not enough to sati.fy it.
and it cried for more. The prisoner, however, would
give it no more, but hit it a blow on the face, and then
put it to bed. During the night it was very restless, and
rolled out of bed, striking its bead 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 bad passed. Tie child's head struck against the
side of the bed, causing a wound which bled very much.
It lay insensible for about half-an-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-
clued that the injuries upon the head were caused by its
falling several times out of bed.
TheT e jurycoufound
sentencedt e
and
imprisoned for
eighteen months with hard labour.

THIRD CO 1:11?7.
(13ofure thte CCMMON-SERGEANT.)
Charles Gibbins, 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. Ballantino defended
the prisoner.

IC appeared that the prosecutor, Mr. Button, is a
chemist in Holborn, and that for a considerable time
past he had missed 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
on a systematic robbery for some months, and
disposed of his ill-gotten gain to ilia prisoner
for trifling sums. The shop in Leather-lane
was patched by the police, but only a mall
