OLD COURT.
(Before Barons Bramwell and Martin.)
David Hughes, solicitor, lately residing in Gresham-
street, City, was indicted for feloniously omitting to sur-
render himielf, being a bankrupt.
Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, and Mr.
Poland appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Hawkins, Q C.,
and Mr. Giffard defended the prison er.
The facts of this complicated ease have already appeared
at length in The Sun, during the examination of the accused
at the Guildhall police-court. The prisoner had a con-
siderable practice, but it appears that he became, as alleged,
a defaulter for a considerable amount, and a fiat of bank-
ruptcy was issued against him. He did not surrender, but
I went to Australia. Brett, one of the city detectives, was
despatched after him, and in the course of a few months
returned with him in custody. Several objections were
taken by Mr. Hawkins with regard to certain proceedings
in bankruptcy, but the Court overruled them, and added
they would be reserved to point as to the proof in respect of
the confirmation of the adjudioation in bankruptcy for the
Court of Error, if it was deemed necessary by the learned
counsel.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Keating.)
ALLEGED CHILD MURDER.

Charlotte Hubble, 30, a domestic servant, was indicted
under the coroner's inquisition for the wilful murder of her
female infant.
Mr. Tindal Atkinson conducted the prosecution, and Mr.
Sleigh defended the prisoner.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was a
domestic servant, residing at Eltham, in Kent. The land-
lord of the house in which the prisoner lodged was awoke
one night by hearing a noise overhead. His wife also
awoke, and both were induced to proceed to the prisoner's
apartment, and there evidence presented itself that
she had been delivered of a child. Medical aid was
sent for, but the prisoner denied that she had
given birth to a child. The surgeon, feeling certain
that such had taken place, the room was searched, and in a
box under the bed was found the dead body of a full grown
female child, with a piece of tape tied tightly round its
neck. A coroner's inquest was held on the body, and the
surgeon stated that the lungs of the child, on being
subjected to the usual tests, gave the appearances of
its having been born alive, and consequently a verdict of
wilful murder was returned against the prisoner.
Mr. Sleigh made a very eloquent appeal to the jury for
the prisoner, and

THAMES.

-d,

The learned Judge, inhis summing up, told the jurybefore
they could convict the prisoner of the crime of murder they
must be satisfied that she intended to kill the child, it
being then alive and an independent being. If they
thought that the tape was used by the prisoner during pay-
turition, and death was thereby caused, that would not
be sufficient to justify a verdict of wilful murder.
After an absence of about 20 minutes the jury returned into
court with a verdict of not guilty of murder, but guilty of
concealment of the birth.

Mr. Justice Keating said the jury had, ke thought, taken
a merciful view of the case, and had acquitted her of the
capital offence. It was of the greatest importance that
offences similar to that of which the prisoner had been con-
victed should be put down by the strong arm of the law,
and he was therefore compelled to pass a severe sentence.
The learned judge then ordered the prisoner to be impri •
soned for IS months with hard labour.

THIRD COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
ROBBERY BY A BARMAID.
Emily Smith was indicted for stealing money the pro-
perty of her employer.
_ _ _

Mr. Langford prosecuted, and Mr. Metcalfe defended the
prisoner.

The prosecutor, Frederick White, said—l keep the White
Hart Tavern, Lee, Kent. The prisoner was in my employ
as barmaid, and had been so for 10 months. On the Bth
of December I received an intimation from my wife which
induced me, after I had closed the house at night, to examine
the till. I found there half-a-crown and 3s. I marked
those pieces and replaced thorn, and on the following morn-
ing, Saturday, about 11 o'clock, I went to the till and
missed the marked money I had placed there the night be-
fore. On the same Saturday night, after the house was
closed and the prisoner had gone to bed, I looked in
the till again and found two half-crowns and a florin.
I marked 'those in the presence of constable Brown,
and replaced them. At a quarter before 10 o'clock on
the Sunday morning I came down stairs, the prisoner
having gone down before me I examined the till and found
that the two half crowns and florin were gone. I called
the constable and also the prisoner into the parlour, and
told her she had stolen some money from the till. She re-
plied, " Taken money from the till I" The constable told
the prisoner to show what money she had, when she
became greatly agitated, and then said that she wished
Mr. White to leave the room, and she would
give up all the money she had in her possession. The
constable objected to any person leaving the mom, and he
said "We must obtain theservices of a female searcher." I
left for that purpose, but when I returned I saw Brown put
his hand into the prisoner's pocket and take out two marked
half-crowns and a florin.

Constable Brown said he searched the prisoner's room,
and found a purse in a drawer, in which was some of the
money that had been missed on the Saturday morning.
Mr. Metcalfe addressed the jury for the prisoner, and
contended that the prosecution had altogether failed to show
that the prisoner had taken the money from the till.
The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of
guilty, and

The Common Sergeant sentenced her to 12 months' im,
prisonment.

THIS liars MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The quantity of barley on the stands was rather limited.
On the whole, the trade ruled steady, at full quotations.
The malt trade was in a very inactive state, and prices
were barely supported.

We had a good demand for oats, at extreme currencies.
Both beans and peas were very dull, at Monday's decline ;
flour, however, was firm in price.
To-day's market was again scantily supplied with Eng-
lish wheat, coastwise and by land carriage. There was a
moderate inquiry for the few samples of fine and useful
quttlity on offer, at full prices. Damp parcels, however,
moved off slowly, at late currencies.
The show of foreign wheat was rather limited, and im-
porters, generally, were very firm in their demands. Most
descriptions moved off slowly, but without leading to any
change in value.

Floating cargoes of grain were a slow inquiry, but not
cheaper.

SIR: MANSFIELD'S RETIREMENT.—LIVERPOOL,
TUESDAY.-Our stipendiary presided in the Police-court
to. day for the last time. The legal profession in the town,
who held him in high es'imation, presented him with ad-
dresses in St. Georp's-hall.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4, 1860.

The father of the prisoner, a cigar maker, said his son
was incorrigible.

Mr. Yardley said he would prevent the boy preying upon
the public any longer, and would a: nd him to a reformatory
ship.

The prisoner hero roared loudly, and said, " Pray don't,
pray don't, sir! I'll be a good boy.. I won't prig any
more."

Mr. Yardley—You have said that before. Your father
cannot reclaim you. You are a very dangerous person, and
the State must take charge of you. I sentence you to be
imprisoned and kept to hard labour for ono month, and
afterwards to bs detained in a reformatory ship for four
years, and your father to pay 2s. por iveek towards your
maintenance for the first two years.
DISOIIDERLY DISCHARGED SOLDIERS FROM INDIA.—

I The district of this court was in a state of commotion last
night owing to the riotous and violent, conduct of many
discharged soldiers, 413 of whom were landed from a shin
which arrived from Bombay yesterday. Several of the
offenders were brought up in custody before Mr. Yardley,
this day, charged with assaults, wilful damage, and being
drunk and:riotous. P. Concoran was fined £3 for a savage
and dastardly assault on Mr. Smith, landlord of the Black
Horse pUblielnuse, Tower-hill. John Ferguson was charged
with rushing into the Thistle beer-shop, Hermitage-street,
Wapping, abusing the landlady, Mrs. Brown, and breaking
sundry glasses, in doing which one of his fingers was nearly
divided. He was fined 10s. Other discharged soldiers
charged' with being drunk and incapable were set at liberty.
Mr. Yardley said that when discharged soldiers were let
loose upon the town they became a terrocr to every bosly.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TRIS D 4 Y.)

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.
_ROBBERY BY AN AUCTIONEER'S SERVANT—A BID
CASE.—Caroline English, a girl of about 18, was charged
before Mr. Boadon with stealing a £5 Bank of England
note, £2 108. in gold, and £1 9s. 6d. in silver, the money of
her master, Mr. James Flood, auctioneer, 84, Wells-street,
Oxford-street.

James Hanns, an appraiser, of Bolsover-street, said that
on the 24th of October ha paid the prisoner the sum of £8
19s. 6d. in a bank note for £5 and gold and silver, the result
of a levy.

Mr. James Flood, auctioneer, of 84, Wells-street, said
the prisoner entered his employ as a servant on the 21st
of October, he receiving a good character with her. On
the 24th of the same month the sum above alluded to never
reached him, and the same night the prisoner decamped.
without the slightest notice. He immediately offered a re-
ward for apprehension, and gave notice at the Marylebone
station, but heard nothing of the prisoner till the previous
evening, when being told that she was in the Female Peni-
tentiary, White Lion-street, PentonvElle, he gave her into
custody. She had stated to him that she had lived at 27,
Barrett's-court, Marylebone. He had. a little girl present
who was also in his employ, to whom on the night she de-
camped she showed the money.
Emma Standing, the girl alluded to, said the prisoner
showed her a bank note and some gold and silver, and said
she should like to have it.

Perry, 239 F, said ho took the p-risoner into custody at
the Female Penitentiary, White Lion-street, Pentonville.
She said nothing at the time, but on the way to the station
he remarked that he supposed the money had done no good
to her, and she said she had spent the, money on those who
would not spend twopence on her.
The prisoner, sobbing, said she was guilty of the charge.
Mr. Beadon committed her for trial..

A FIT CANDIDATE POE AREPORMATORY
Frederick Rowley, 15, was brought before Mr. Yardley
charged with picking pockets. The prisoner set up a dismal
howling on being put into the dock, and continued whining
and pretending to cry during during the investigation of his
case, but not a tear was shed. Ho was seen by a police. con-
stable attempting to pick the pockets of several gentlemen.
At last he was caught inflagrante delis ° taking a silk hand-
kerchief from a gentleman's pocket. B o was proved to have
been several times in custody, and tv/ice summarily con-
victed. Ho was once in custody with three others for steal-
ing a large quantity of boots from a hc'use in Cable-street,
Wellclose- square, and was aelmitted as evidence for the
Crown. The jury did not believe the ;prisoner, and his con-
federates were acquitted. The prisoner was subsequently
tried at the Sessions for robbing a sailor, and
owing to the absence of the prosecutor was acquitted.
Kelly, a police-constable, 100 H, said the prisoner had
been a thief, and the associate of thieves, for the last four
years.
