CENTRAL CRIMINAL COITRr•

THIS DAY.

~-

. OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Byles.)
CASE OF WILFUL MURDER.
Rose Mathews, 21, unmarried, was charged, en
the Coroner's inquisition, with the wilful murder
of her illegitimate child.

The prisoner was a domestic servant in the eill-
4oy of a lady named Se!iofield, and for sonic time

previous to the 14th of August a suspicion was
entertained that she was pregnant, but this the
prisoner denied. About half-past eleven on the
night of the 14th of August she was heard to leave
her bedroom and go down stairs. Her mistress was
induced to follow her, and she met her coming 111)
stairs with her hands and dress covered with blood,
and in consequence of what prisoner said Mrs.
Schofield sent for a surgeon and a police-constable.
The medical gentleman baying ascertained the state
of the case directed her to be placed in bed, and
on being asked where she had put the child she
said in the cellar, and on searching the place it was
found covered with coal ashes, with a deep woand
at the back of the neck, the head being, in fact,
nearly severed from the body. The prisoner ad-
mitted that she had inflicted the injury
with one of the
small dinner-knives. The prisoner on the occasion
seemed to have acted in a very rational manner when
she was questioned upon the matter, but during the
trial it was elicited from some of the witnesses that
she was a person of very weak intellect. The
learned judge, in summing up the case, said the
question for the jury to decide in the first instance
was the state of mind of the prisoner at the time
the act was committed, and if they arrived at the
conclusion that she was of weak intellect they
would then have to consider the evidence which had
been adduced to prove the charge of wilful
murder that had been preferred against her. The
medical man stated that the child could have
breathed but once, also
.that there was a bruise on
the head, and from the evidence given by other
witnesses, there were circumstances which made it
incumbent on the jury to satisfy themselves that
the child bad ever had a separate existence, and
also whether the blood found on the clothes of the
prisoner was in fact that of the child. Mr. Gibson,
the surgeon of Newgate, and Mr. Jones, the ordi-
nary, had both stated that the intellect of the pri-
soner was very weak, and under such circumstances
they would have to say whether the prisoner was
guilty or not.

After a few minuta deliberation, the jury re-
turned a verdict of not guilty of wilful murder, but
guilty of concealment of birth.

T►ue learned Judge said ho would consider the
case thoroughly before he passed sentence on the
prisoner.

CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED MURDER.

Sarah Raven was indicted for felonious'y attempt
rig to kill and murder her infant child by throwing
t into quicklime.

The evidence was of a very inconclusive nature,
and the jury returned a verdict of not guilty, a 3
they were not satisfied that the fall into the Hale
was not caused by a slip or a stumble occasioned
by the loose stones near where the lime was situate•

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Keating.)
FORGERY.
William Roper, 18, and William Rowley, were
indicted for feloniously forging and uttering an
order for the payment of £3 15s.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoners
had been in the habit of obtaining goods from
tradesmen by means of forged cheques upon the
London and County Bank.
The jury found both prisoners guilty. A former
conviction of penal servitude was proved against the
older prisoner, who was the father of the younger
one.

On being asked why sentence should not be
passed,
The older prisoner said he was driven to do what
he had done by starvation. His previous conviction
had ruined his character, and that no ono would
employ him. Under the present state of the poor
laws he could not obtain relief without that he and
the whole of his family went into the workhouse,
which would be in fact imprisonment for life. 11°
had gone on and struggled hard, but everything
failed with him, and de3peration drove him to com-
mit the crime he had been convicted of.
The Learned Judge said it was one of the penal:
ties of crime that where a conviction was obtained
loss of charaeter would to a great extent follow, but
that did not extinguish all hope of obtaining era"
ployment. The aggravating cause in the present
case was that the father had actually trained up his
child to crime. He therefore sentencbd Rowley t°
12 years' penal servitude, and Roper to 18 months'
imprisonment.

THIRD COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
Mary Housewood was found guilty of feloniously
forging and uttering a request for the delivery of
goods with intent to defraud, and also with stealing
12 sheets, the property of her master, Alexander
Stewart.

--- -----
The Court sentenced her to five years' penal
servitude.

THE NEW DEAN OF EXETER.—We are informed
that Canon Boyd, who haa just boon appointed to the
Deanery of Exeter, graduated at Trinity College, Dial'+
in the year 1825.
WINTER CRICKET.—The crieketing world will,
learn with pleasure that a means has been provided
by which they will be enabled to enjoy their favourite'
sport "all the year round," and shorn of but little of its
al fresco attraction. In-door cricket has been conitneneeLL
in the largest of the swimming baths of the Lambeth
Baths, in the Westminster-road, under the auspices of 141.'
G. Budd, the well-known bat manufacturer of Lambeth,
and bids fair to succeed with the lovers of the gaol') and
with the public generally. " The Surrey and Canterbury
Cricketing Saloon" occupies a space of 139 feet in length,
by 50 feet in width, so that ample room is affords
for batting and bowling practice.
Clots of the huge bath is of Portland ee"`°,`"ii;
and, when covered with a very fine sawdust, Yi°'
an excellent bowling surface, which, being free fog.
any irregularities of the turf, never causes the ball undo
lighted
to rise or jerk. At night the saloon is brilliantly
with gas. To guard against the possibility of accident,.
stout netting, made in Newcastle on the pattern of ttila:
trawling nets, completely encloses the players from
audience. Professional bowlers aro engaged ; bats, ba
113,
pads, and gloves aro provided ; and those who practise e3:_
press themselves altogether satisfied. It is byre..intendeiiw
The founda:
c mtintto practice till March, when the building will jou
quired for bathing purposes. The temporary cony`
of this gigantic bath for the purpose of the " uatisnal g,O
of cricket" causes no interruption to the ordinary o,"teo
and winter bathing; and batters and bowlers can 1131°
bath after their exercise.
