Thursday afternoon ? " He said, " With Jemmy
Bradley." Morley said, " Where did you go ? "
He said, "We went beside the Star Inn, down
Hempshaw-lane, and up Love-lane." Morley then
said to Bradley, "Did you see any one in Love-
lane." He said, " Yes, we saw a woman ; " and he
also said, in answer to a question from Morley,
" We had a little boy with us as we met beside the
Star Inn." Morley said, " Where did you go after-
wards " He said, "We went on down Love-lane
until we got to a hole with somo water in it,
and then Peter said that I must undress it,.
upon which Barratt said, "Thou undressed it as
well as me." Morley said, "Then, you both
undressed it ? " Bradley said, "Yes." Mor-
ley said, " What did you do then ? " Bradley
said, " Peter pushed it into the water and 1
took my clogs off and went in and took it
out again." Peter then said, "It must have
another." Morley said, " Another what ?
Bradley said, "Another dip in the water." Bradley
said, " Well, then, get a stick out of the hedge and
lit it." Barratt replied, " Well, thou hit it as well
as I." Morley then said, " Where did you hit it ?"
Bradley said, "Over the back," and added, "Yes,
and over the head." Morley said, " Was it in the
water then ?" Bradley said, " Yes." Morley said,
" How long did you hit it with the stick ?" Brad-
ley said, " Until it was dead." Barratt said nothing
then, but upon Morley saying, " Then it was quite
dead before you left it ?" he said, " Yes." Morley
then said, " What did you do with the stick ?"
Bradley said, " We hauled it into the field."

The Prisoners' shoes and clogs were subsequently
taken to the place where the body was found, and
the footmarks there were found exactly to corre-
spond.
The prisoners never mentioned a word about the
child to any one until questioned by the policeman,
and by their silence seemed to have known that
they had done something wrong.
Mr. Lloyd urged for the defence that the priso-
ners were mere babies, and had no notion of the in-
jury they were committing, and called on the jury
to acquit them altogether, and not to let the brand
of felons fall upon such infants as they saw before
them.

The learned Judge summed up with his usual
care, and told the jury that they must first satisfy
themselves that the prisoners were capable of dis-
cerning between right and wrong. If they thought
they were capable of so doing, they were then to
consider whether they knew the effect of the act
they were committing; if they did not, then the
presumption of malice would be rebutted, and the
crime reduced to manslaughter.
The jury retired, and after an absence of half an
hour, returned a verdict of manslaughter, and ex-
pressed a hope that the learned judge would send
the children to a reformatory.
The learned Judge said he should be most happy
to accede to their recommendation, and sentenced
the prisoners to one month's imprisonment, and at
the expiration of that to be sent to a reformatory
for five years.

With this case, at about 10 o'clock last night,
the business of the assize concluded.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL—Aua. 9.

- -
There was a very good attendance of millers and dealers
at this morning's market, and we had a middling business
doing in wheat; Tuesday's quotations being supported.
A. few parcels were again taken for export. Flour of prime
qualities being scarce brought rather more money ; but
inferior sorts scarcely saleable at former prices. Beans
improved is and peas 6d on the week, and were in good de-
mand. Indian corn held for extreme rates, but the de-
mand was rather checked. Oats and oatmeal were slow of
sale, and no advance in price.

WAKEFIELD—AuG. 9.
The demand for wheat was again limited. A few choice
samples met a fair sale at prices generally in favour of the
buyer. Barley nominal. Beans, oats, and shelling were at
late rates.

LOUGHBOROUGH—AuG. 8.
At this market to-day there was a fair show of wheat
—all qualities selling at about recent prices, with a quiet
trade—white, 56s to 68s ; red, 50s to 60s per 36 stone.
Barley quite as high as in the week previous, malting
selling at 37s to 41s per qr., grinding 29s to 32s per 30 st.
Oats a steady sale, and late values obtained. Beans were
steady, at last week's rates.
