Prisoner—Recollect yourself ; you will have to prove

all you say.
Mr. Vaughan—You must not make such observations
as that. You can ask what questions you like, but only
quest ions.
Sarah Foster said, on tho 30th of July last I was living
at No. 15, Great White Lion-street, St. Giles's.- lam the
sister of the prisoner. I recollect seeing him that even-
ing; he came to my place between 8 and 9, and brought his
child withhim. It was the child mentioned by the last
witness. He said he had come to stop for the night, and I
told him he could stay if he liked. He remained till be-
tween 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning in my room, when
he got up and went away with the child. lie and the boy
had both been to bed, and had a good sleep. When ho left
he said ho was going a long way in the country. I don't
recollect hearing the child speak all the time it was in my
loom. It appeared to be in good health, and that
was all I saw of the prisoner that night. The next day I
saw the body of a child in the dead-house of St. Giles's
Workhouse, and recognised it as the son of the prisoner.
Before the prisoner left I said to him, "I hope you won't
do anything to the child to ill use it."
Mr. Vaughan—Why did you say that to him ?
Witness—Because I had heard him say before that the
child should not be a trouble to any one long.
Mr. Vaughan—Had he said that that night ?
Witness—No, sir.
Mr. Vaughan—Then it was before that ?
Witness—Yes, sir; but I have heard him several times
make the remark.
Mr. Vanghan—What reply did ho make ?
Witness—He told me to mind my own business.
Prisoner—You say the child did not speak on the Sun-
day night; did'nt I make him kneel down and say his
prayers ?
Witness—l don't recollect.
Prisoner—Didn't I leve my child at your door with a
nice suit of black.
Witness—Yes, about Whitsuntide I think that was.
Prisoner'—Don't you know that I have paid money for
the keep of the child.
Witness—Yes. When I had him in the winter you paid
me very regularly.
Prisoner —Did you ever see me beat or Muse the child ?
Witness—l have seen you beat him.
Prisoner—Yes. When he had told me a story.
Witness—l know you have beat the child.
Prisoner—Do you recollect me taking the child away in
this mysterious manner before ?
Witness —Yes ; from your wife, not from me after you
brought him at Whitsuntide. You had then been drink-
ing, and when you came on that Sunday you were the
worse for liquor.
Prisoner—l have never been guilty of ill-treating the
child. When he has told an untruth I have only corrected
him for so doing.
Superintendent Durkin—Upon this evidence, your
worship, I ask for a remand until this day week.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

FORGED ORDERS.—COMMITTAL.—WiIIiam Henry Aston
and Thomas Hiatt, the two young men charged with ob-
taining goods by means of forged orders, were again
brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt.
It appears that Aston, who was formerly in the employ
of Messrs. Mackay, Burke, and Wheeler, military tailors,
Bond-street, went to Messrs. Scott Adios' Scotch ware-
house, Regent-street, and obtained a quantity of cloth by
means of an order purporting to be written by Messrs
Mackay and Co., but which was proved to have been
written by Hiatt, who was his companion and lodged in
the same house with him. The prisoner Hiatt was charged
with obtaining a quantity of paper hangings from Mr.
Silas Tucker of High Holborn by means of an order pur-
porting to come from his father, but was in reality signed
by himself. Since the last examination the prisoner Hiatt's
father had gone round to the persons where his son had
sold the paperhangings, and got a quantity of them back
with a view of screening his son, and ho had gone so far
in one case as to threaten to give a person into custody if
he did not give the property up.
Several persons proved purchasing paparhangings of the
prisoner Hiatt, and subsequently, on his father calling
giving them up to him.
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial.
A FEMALE SAVAGE.--Maria Fearly, of 5, Ann's-court,
Wardour-street, was charged with assaulting John Lowis,
of 32, Rupert-street, shoemaker, and Moss, 80 C.
The prisoner was proved to have assaulted Lewis, and
while on the way to the station she bit the constable
several times on the legs, and it was also stated that she
had assaulted Lewis's daughter, a little girl, so badly that
blood ran from one of her ears.

Mr. Tyrwhitt committed tho prisoner for seven days for
each of the assaults on Lewis and the constable, remarking
that violent women must be punished as well as violent
mon. As to the assault on the little girl, that could be
hereafter preferred.
