SANITARY CONDITION OF THE CTTY.

Dr. LETIIEBY, the Medical Officer of Health,
reported on the state of 220 houses that had been
inspected during the week, and he submitted a list
of 45 places for sanitary improvement. All the
slaughterhouses have been inspected during the
week, and the inspectors of meat and markets have
furnished the medical officer with returns of the
seizure of 104 cwt. 2qrs. 31b. of meat and 64 rabbits
as unfit for human food. Most of this was seized in
Newgate-market, and all of it has been. destroyed.
On Friday last some of the hides exposed for sale
in Leadenhall-market were very stale, .and the in-
spector reports that he was obliged to order the re-
moval of the most offensive of them. The morta-
lity returns for the week are just the average for
the corresponding period of the last five years, and ,
they are somewhat less than the returns of the week
preceding. The total deaths were 49, and the births '

sessions.
Mr. Combo asked what were the extent of the
defalcations.
Mr. Kidd replied that at present they were as-
certained to amount: to £1,200 within the last 18
monthg, but the books had not been examined fur-
ther back. He did not object to bail, provided
that it was good and substantial.
Mr. Combo agreed to accept two sureties in £5OO
each, and the prisoner in £l,OOO, with 24
,hours'
notice.
The prisoner was then removed by the gaoler.
WIFE BEATING FOUR MONTHS AFTER MAR-
RIAGE.—Henry Parker, a horsekeeper, was charged
with beating his wife, who exhibited black eyes.
She said she had been married to the prisoner
feur months and ever since his temper had been very
bad, but that he never beat her until Monday last,
when she had occasion to go to her husband's
mother's, where she partook of tea, at her request.
After that they returned home together, and as
soon as her husband entered he abused her and
knocked her down.
Mr. Combo asked her if he had ever beaten her
before.

She replied in the negative, and she did not think
he would do it again.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that he
was exasperated through his wife being out when
he went home to tea, and he gave her a slight push.
Mr. Combe told him he was a foolish fellow to
quarrel about such a thing, when he knew that his
wife was with his own mother. He should not
commit him to prison this time, but make him find
bail to keep the peace towards his wife for bix
months.

WORSHIP - STREET. CONCEALMENT OF
BIRTH AND SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF THE BODY.
Eliza Muttit, 22, a general servant in the family
of Mr. Harris Ford, residing at Milton-cottage,
Bath-place, Dalston, was charged by Inspector
Stacey, of the N division, with having concealed
the birth of her illegitimate female infant.
James Newberry, a gardener, said upon oath—

About four o'clock yesterday afternoon I and another
man were in Mr. Ford's garden burying leaves and
rubbish, when my mate struck his spade against
something wrapped up in a rag. I got it out with
a rake and found that the cloth contained the dead
body of a child. I told the mistress and she came
with the servant. I then showed them the arms
and legs of the child.
Mr. Safford, clerk—How many servants are there ?
Witness—l don't know. It was the prisoner who
came with Mrs. Ford. They both expressed
astonishment. I went to the station. house, and a
constable who returned with me took the body away.
Sergeant Luff, 7 N—From information received,
I went last night to Mr. Ford's residence. The
prisoner opened the street door, and said, in answer
to my inquiries, that her master and mistress were
at home, and showed me into an apartment.
Mr. Safford—Were you in uniform ?
Witness—l was. I told Mr. Ford that the dead
body of an infant had been found in his garden.
He took me there. It is 130 feet in length, and
beneath a laurel tree there was a very deep hole.
He expressed surprise at the gardeners having dug
there. I asked to see the prisoner. She was in the
kitchen, and when I questioned her with the usual
caution about it, she denied all knowledge of its
having been put there, or whose it was. I asked
if she had any objection to a medical examination.
She said that she had, but on my repeating the
question, consented, if her mistress was present.
Mrs. Ford and the prisoner accompanied me to the
station, and from there to the doctor's, but after
waiting an hour I was informed that she had re-
fused medical examination, and then I took her into
custody on this charge, again cautioning her that
any statement she might make would, if requisite,
be used in evidence against her. She made no reply
at that time, but since I have been at this court she
expressed a wish to speak with me. Again I
cautioned her.

Mr. Knox—Very proper ; quite right—go on.
IVitness—She said, " I am the mother of the
child. I laced my stays so tight that not any one
noticed me. It was born six weeks since. My
mistress was in the room at the birth, but did not
know it ; she knew I was not well. I afterwards
got the shovel, dug a hole and put the child into
it." She added, " I have been seduced," but did not
say who was the father of the infant.

Mr. Knox—Did she say whether the child was
born alive ?

Witness—She told me that it was born dead.
Mr. Joseph James, physician and surgeon of Nel-
son-terrace, Stoke Newington, said—l have seen
the body of a female child at Kingsland station-
house. It was partially decomposed; the umbilical
cord had not been tied ; there was not any appear-
ance of ligature. I did not perceive any marks of
violence, nor can I at present say if it was born
alive.

Inspector Stacey—The female searcher is present
if you wish to hear her testimony, sir.
Mr. Knox—lt is not necessary, as the young
woman has made this confession, and of course
there is ample evidence for a remand.
The prisoner, who sat in the dock apparently
greatly dejected, was at intervals supplied with
light stimulants. She made no remark upon the
depositions of the witnesses, and was removed to
the cell.

WESTMINSTER.—SINGuLARAFFAIR.—James
Heard, 4 respectable-looking man, holding A xe-

sponsible situation, was further examined, charged
with a brutal assault upon his wife.
According to the statement of complainant, she
went to take a dress home to a lady, whose house
she left after 10 on Monday night, when she met a
friend, and they went together to a place of amuse-
ment, and coming home met a youth, who claimed
acquaintance with her friend, and all walked home
together, arriving close by where she lived just
after 12 o'clock. Her husband, to whom she had
been married nine years, was frequently ill-treating
her, and bad caused her serious injuries, and meet-
ing him on this night she said, in answer to his in-
quiries, that the youth was a friend of one of her
lodgers, when defendant took them to his house,
and on the lodger saying she did not know the
youth, he beat him, and then took her in-doors
and knocked her down, and jumped upon her
back. She did not go in all night, as he
threatened to shoet her. She did so in the
morning, and while working in her apartmen t
he came in, struck her mother, dashed her (com,
plainant) to the ground, with a sleeve-board,
stabbed her in the nose'with a pair of scissors, and
struck her across the mouth with a poker, also
threatening in a most horrible manner, and other-
wise ill-using her.
The second assault was corroborated in some
particulars, and Mr. Ward, a disinterested witness,
proved finding complainant lying on her face bleed-
ing, while the defendant stood over her uttering
dreadful threats, and endeavouring to dash her
down again when witness raised her, lie also
threatened her mother, endeavoured to throw her
down stairs, and drew a dagger upon her.
Defendant denied the first assault, but said he
had been in the country, and returning unex-
pectedly, found his wife out. He walked about
till hall•past two, and then met her with a man.
She gave such evasive answers to his questions
that ho suspected her of being unfaithful to him,
and when heoitter making inquiries in the morn-
ing, found she had told him a tissue of falsehoods,
he did assault her, but not to the extent described ;
and it was also shown by the police that her
husband's account as to what time he met his
wife was true, and Mr. Arnold remanded the
accused refusing to take bail, and directed sum-
monses to issue against several people who knew
something of the case.
Yesterday, Mr. Smyth appeared for the accused,
and in answers to questions from both him and the
magistrate, complainant said she left Mrs. Fox's,
where she took the dress, at 10 o'clock, and then
went with a friend to the Railway Arch Dancing
Rooms, Lambeth, but did not stay there long, as
it was nearly over. She met the youth there, and
not in the street, as she had said before. When
her husband met her she said the youth was a
lodger's son-in-law, and knew that was not true;
she did not like -to tell her husband he was a
stranger, nor to say where she had met him.
Martha Catlin, the friend spoken of, proved going
to the dancing rooms with Mrs Heard, and stopping
there four hours, during the whole of which time
the complainant danced with the young man
spoken of. They stayed there till half-past one,
and she left the complainant and the young man
together, close to the former's home, at a quarter
to two.
Mrs. Fox was then called to prove that com-
plainant, after bringing her dress home, left at not
later than 10 minutes past eight, and Miss Jane Fox,
that in taking a message to Mrs. Heard next morn-
ing, she told her to tell her mother that if any one
should make any inquiries about her, she shouldsay
she left at a later hour the night before than was
really the case.
Airs. Martin Long, a lodger at the accused's
house, 5, Romney-street, Westminster, said that
the husband walked about nearly four hours after
his wife, and when they came in together she_
thought all would be quiet, but in a few minutes
heard cries of murder, and saw Mr. Heard kneeling
on his wife's back. She raised him from her. Com-
plainant went down stairs, and he told her if she
came up again he would be the death of her. She
slept in witness's room that night, and complained
of pain in her back. 'Witness had heard them quar-
rel before, and seen bruises on her face.
Frederick Rawsom, the young man spoken of, 20
years of age, proved dancing with the complainant
the whole of the evening, and seeing her home after-
wards. She did not tell him she was married.
James Oliver, 41 13, called with regard to the first
assault, said it was after two o'clock when the wife
came home, and shortly afterwards she wanted to
charge her husband with an assault, but she ap-
peared in no pain, nor was there anything to
warrant him in taking the accused into custody.
Two more witnesses also were called, but their
evidence was not material.
Mr. Arnold then inquired whether there were
any more witresses Mr. Smyth wished to call.
Mr. Smyth said there were, but having only just
been instructed he did not know the nature of the
evidence they could give.
Mr. Arnold said he did not know that he had
ever had a case before him which had required
more investigation than this, and for that reason he
had summoned every body who knew anything of
the affair, and he wouldnow adjourn the case again,
in order that any more witnesses who knew any-
thing of it night be brought forward.
The accused was then remanded for another
week, Mr. Arnold offering to take two sureties in
£4O each for his appearance.
