first to a surgeon in the neighbourhood and subse-
quently to the hospital, where, wit h pr,,per treatment
she slowly recovered. She admitted she had tik, n

SOUTHWARK —A TICKET or LEAVE CONVICT
AND HIS PUPlLS.—Jeremiah Trutter, 24, a ticket-
of-leave convict, John Hall, 21, who has just had
four years' penal servitude, and James Thompson,-
alias Murray, 14, a smart-looking lad, were charged
with loitering about the streets for the purpose of
committing robberies.
Ticherier,•lBs L, said that about 12 o'clock on
the previous night he was on duty near the circus
in the Blackfriars-road, just after the people had
come out of the Surrey Theatre, when a female
came up to him and said a lad had been robbed of
his watch in the London road. He crossed over
and saw the younger prisoner, who told him he had
been robbed of his watch. Witness asked him who
stole it ? when he replied " That's him," pointing
to the prisoner Trotter, who was running away.
He caught hold of the latter, when he told the lad
he had seen them both together a few minutes pre•
vious, and knowing them to be both thieves, he
took Trotter into custody, and handed the lad to
another officer. On the way to the station-house
Trotter struggled very hard to get away, and Hall
came up and struck witness a heavy blow on the
right eye. He was eventually secured, and all the
prisoners were taken to the station-house. Witne
had no doubt that the younger prisoner raised the
alarm for the purpose of collectiuga mob, and then
his companions would have commenced plundering
the people.
The, Magistrate asked what was known of the
prisoner ?

- Sergeant Broad, 23 L, said that Trotter was
tried and sentenced to seven years' transportation
in 1850. He received a ticket of leave in 1855, and
had since then been several times convicted before
the magistrates. Hall had not long been out of
prison, after undergoing seven years' penal servi-
tude, and the younger prisoner was one of Trotter's
He frequented the railway stations and

public places-with older thieves, whom he assisted
in picking pockets.
The Magistiate told them they were all well-
known thieves. Trotter was a ticket-of-leave con-
vict and Hall had four years' nemal ervitu le, bur.
that seemed to have no effect upim them, as I,hey
resumed their former practices, and of con-
tent with that, they were bringing up the younger
prisoner to the same fate. He bad no doubt they
tutored the lad to raise the alarm, so that they
might rob the public, therefore he should sentence
each to three months hard labour in the House of
Oorrootion.

LAMBETH—SERIOUS CHARGE. —Jane Wheeler,
a young woman, against W OM a coronet's jury has
returned a verdict or 'manslaughter, was bro,.ight
up in custody by Sergi ant Standish, of the P divi-
sion of police, and placed at the bar bef, ire the Hon.
G. C. Norton, charged, as it appeared ou the p.blice
rho et, with the wilful murder of her female illegi-
timate offspring.

The first witness called was Jane Spratt, who, de-
posed that she lived as fellow-servant with the pri-
soner for about two years, at the house of Mr.
Sibeth, a gentleman residing ou Herne-hill, Cam-
berwell, and about six weeks ago she suspected she
was in the family way. At that time she told her
she thought she should suffer soon if she laced so
tight, but did not tell her exactly what she sus-
pected, that she was in !he family-way, and the
prisoner made no reply. On the morning of 26th
Ftbruary, the prisoner gotup, leaving her in bed,
and about 11 o'clock, from what the gardener told
her, she examined the larder, and from what she wit-
nessed there she accused the prisoner with having
given birth to an infant. The prisoner stoutly
denied it, but ultimately confessed that she had
been delivered in the coal cellar, that she wrapped
the child in anything she could lay her band on,
and put it under a tub in the larder. Witness
found the body of a child under a tub, wrapped up
in an apron, and put it into some warm water and
sent for a doctor, but it exhibited no symptoms of
life,

In reply to the questions put by the magistrate,
the witness said the prisoner seemed to be quite
well when at breakfast at half past nine, and up to
ten she (witness) did not perceive any change in her.
Witness noticed some blood about the mouth of
the child, and also that the navel string was untied,
but her mistress and witness tied it on taking the
body from under the tub.
Mr. R. Nichol], a surgeon, residing at Denmark-
hill, said he had examined the child. It was per-
fectly developed, and had breathed. He attributed
the death to exhaustion from loss of blood, the
umbilical cord not having been tied on delivery,
and probable exposure to cold. There were no
marks of strangulation on the body of the child, or
any other marks, beyond those which might have
taken place in the act of delivery.
Inspector Emmerson informed the magistrate
that in consequence of the singular coincidence of a
young man who had been fellow-servant with the
prisoner at the time being now a constable in the
police, he (Mr. Emmerson) had come to the know-
ledge chit the prisoner'had bben tried at Maidstone
assizes on a chlrge similar to the present, and the
constable who bad her then in custody was then
present. - -

A constable belonging to the R divisioi, said that
on the occasion alluded to the child was fouud in a
box at the house of her master, with a parer tied
tightly round its neok ; but the jury on her trial
acquitted her.

The prisoner, in defenc?, said she intended to
have gone home to be confined, and was not
aware she was su near her tine, and this was the
cause of her not providing the nece-sary b .by
Mr. Norton► could not see how th:i coroner's jury
could have brought in a verdict of manslaughter.
In his opinion the case was oue inertly of c.ince
ment of birth, and on that charge he should com-
mit the prisoner. She will, however, be tried for
manslaught.-T on the coroner's inquisition.

WANDSWORTFT.—Jas. Townsend was placed
in the dock wilh Elizi. Rome, alias Seymour,
Richard Tutt, and William Jones, for further
examination on a charge of robbery.
Mr. Solomon again appeared for the male pri-
soner Jones.

Mr. Henry Carloss, a watch-gilder, of No. 26,
Great Sutton-street, Clerkenweb, d9posed that on
the 22.1 of December last the prisoner Home en-
tered his service, and about the middle of the day
on the following Wednesday, she absconded, taking
with her watches, jewellery, plate, and wearing ap-
patel, amounting to about 1001. he subsequently
saw the prisoner Tutt, and he stated that he had
bought one of the gold watches, and had sold it to a
man named Jones, in Wilderness-row. He at first
offered to show him the place, but afterwards de-
clined to do so. Witness also went to Jones's
house, and recognised some of his property in his
possession. He identified a gold watch and a silver
watch, the latter being taken out of the shop win-
dow. When the silver watch was stolen it bore the
name of " Henry Carlon, died Dec. 11, 1838."
This inscription had been erased, and " Webster,
London, 1845," inserted in its place.
Inspector Proctor found the property
in Jones's house, which was a watch and clockidentifie
d
maker's, and said Mr. Webster, in London, denied
that the silver watch had been made by
him;

Sergeant Dendy also proved finding one

Edwin Oliver, a young mai;
was brother-in-law to Townsend, said the female
prisoner was Townsend'a cousin, and 'before the
robbery' they lived together as man and wife in
Rupert-street, Haymarket. He remembered the
female prisoner going into the service of Mr. Carlos.
On the day she came away he accompanied Town-
send to Jones's shop. The prisoner showed him two
gold watches and two rings, The Witness saw
