CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Mellor.)

ATTEMPTED MURDER NEAR HAMMERSMITH.

Harriett Morris was indicted on a charge of poisoning
her child, Emily Morris, aged six years, by giving her
oxalic acid.

The child stated that her mother took her to a
dark place in the park, and then opened a bottle and
poured something into a glass, which she tried to induce
her to drink. She' told her it was peppermint, and would
warm her, and she made her dip a piece of butt into the
liquid, and eat it. She did not like to take the stuff, and
her mother at last forced it down her throat. It was sour,
and burnt hor mouth. Her mother then went away, and
left her alone in the dark. She was thero a long time.
The police-constable said the place where tho child
was found was in a field leading to the Duke of Devon-
shire's.

The chemist who had examined the child's clothes said
he had no doubt tho marks were caused by oxalic acid, and
could not have arisen from alum. ;

The jury returned a verdict of guilty.

The Learned Judge sentenced the prisoner to 15 years'
penal servitude, after which she was lod fainting from the
dock.
