This was the certificate meeting in the case of Adam
Glen, of the White Bear Hotel, Piccadilly, formerly a
baker, in Regent-street.
Mr. Linklater supported ; Mr. Hilleary appeared for
several parties.
Mr. Metcalfe opposed, and examined the bankrupt as
to his betting transactions. He said be bad not been at a
race for two or three years. He bad only been once at
the Derby for the last four years. He had not ace ce-
rlins
horse in September, 1855. DamaskAhorasgeoc.allDedidnot,
to
for the Chester Cup five years
knowledge, instruct any one to make bets for him. He
might 'lyric had a commission for a horse called Escape,
but be did not recollect. He might have made bets with
Messrs. Butt and Fisher on the Chester Cup, but be did
not recollect. Did not know Mr. Abbott, of Jermyn-
st reet. He would not swear he did not instruct Mr.
Abbott to make a bet for bim. He recollected paying
a person named Cochrane 18/. ; be did not know what
for. He did not know when. Did not know whether
he made a bet for or against Wild Dayrell with any one.
Did not lose 2501. on Wild Dayrell on the Derby. Did
not instruct Mr. Portman to make a bet for him,
although he did a great deal for Mr. Portman, as he did
for him.

A witness named Cochrane was examined, and de-
poed he made bets for Glen, the bankrupt, aho told
him to go toTattersalls and make bets in various amounts
with different parties. Witness did so. They were all
made on the Saturday before the Chester races. The
race was run on the 2d of August ; the bets were in
favour of Escape, but Escape did not win. Witness
paid some of bankrupt's losses at his request. Mr. Port-
man, whose name bad been mentioned, was a gentleman
who had betted for himself and also on commission ;
that is the custom with setting people.
Cross-examined by Mr. Linklater—l am nothing now.
I am living by my wits and by betting. I know that the
bankrupt once had a commission to bet for several of the
aristocracy and gentlemen connected with the turf, Was

posted as a defau'ter at Tattersall's. Owed 5;400/. paid
4,2001. out of that. Had been a journeyman baker.
Came from Scotland, where I served my apprenticeship.
Began betting in London, and won a great deal of money
at firit. A default r was a person who ran away, but he
stood his ground. Paid all he could of his betting debts.
Was now in the habit of going to Tattersall's. The
bankrupt told him that the baker's shop in Regent-•
street was Lis own, and that it did not belong to the -
miller, which was frequently the case. Assisted iar
keepin, the bankrupt's books. He owed 1,1001. on the
Derby betting. Asked Glen for 7001. which he owed
him, and he said he could not pay him. A gent!enaan
went away who owed him 1,0001.
Airs. Warren, of Brampton, was examined as to some
furniture which had been removed from the bankrupVii
house in Regent-street to her apartments. She &Ind-
dered she was entitled to it for accommodating Mr.
Glen with 2001.

After hearing the respective a ivocates pro and con.,
who addressed the Court,
His Honour reserved judgment.

SIIOCKING AND CRUEL MURDERS. -
BURIED ALIVE.

Yesterday Mr. Wakley held as inquest in the Isling-
ton Workhouse on a male child, about three weeks ell,
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 tart Friday, when, on turning over some
rubbish on a dust-heap, she took up what she considered
was a pitta 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
whkt she had seen, and upon Police-constable J. Miles,
434 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 statien-
house, and from thence to the dead-house, where it was
subsequently seen by dr. Billinghurt, the divisional
en, goon.
Mr. Henry Biliinghurst stated that he performed the
post morts'n 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
be 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 weathcr. 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-
t• • of cases of inf..nticide which had come under his
noti:e lately. From the appearance of the body in that
case, the dirt under the eyelids, &c., he was of opinion
the child must have been buried alive.

Yerdie., " Wilful murder against 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 wag found
in a }picket, part of the body having been eaten by rats,
while one side of the head was sina,hed in, and one eye
knocked out. The body presented a horrible Epectacle.
The poor little thing bad a bed•gown on, and appeared
to be several days old.
