SIIOCKING AND CRUEL MURDERS.
BURIED ALIVE.

Yesterday Mr. Wakley held an inquest in the Laing-
ton Workhouse on a male chi d, about three weeks old,
who was found barbarously murdered under the follow-
ing circumstances :

It appeared from the evidence of an old woman,
named Mary Anne Tyler, who follows the penurious
habits of a rag and bone finder, that she was in the
Britannia-fields last Friday, when, on turning over some
rubbish on a dust-heap, she took up what she considered
was a piece of loose rag, but immediately she discovered
that she had the arm of the deceased child in her grasp.
She instantly ran away, and told a police-constable of
what ehe had seen, and upon Police-constable J. Miles,
484 N, hurrying to the spot, he found the unfortunate
little creature buried beneath the dust and rubbish.
It was dressed in a small baby's cap, a kind of, night.
gown, and a piece of a female's coloured cotton gown.
The constable at once conveyed the body to the station.
house, and from thence to the dead•house, where it was
subsequently seen by dr. Billiughuret, the divisional
surgeon.

Mr. Henry Billinghurst 'stated that he performed the
post mortem examination. The body was that of a fine
child, and the organs were all internally in a healthy
condition. The heart and lungs were congested, and
he had no doubt the child died from suffocation. The
child appeared nearly three weeks old, and he was of
opinion the congestion of blood was occasioned by ex-
prsure to the inclemency of the weather. There was
dirt under the eyelids, showing that the child was placed
under the dust alive. (Sensation.)
The Coroner remarked that it was shocking the num-
le - of cases of infanticide which had come under his
noti de lately. From the appearance of the bo.ly in that
case, the dirt under the eyelids, &c., he was of opinion
the child must have been buried alive.

Verdic', " Waal murder againbt some person or per•
sons unknown."

In the course of the afternoon Mr. Walley received
information from Mr. Shipling, summoning officer for
the Holborn district, of another exceedingly frightful
case of infanticide. The deceased in this case was found
in a basket, part of the body having been eaten by rats,
while one side of the head was sma,hed in, and one eye
knocked out. The body presented a horrible spectacle.
The poor little thing had a bed-gown on, and appeared
to be several days old.
