CONTUSION 071 MURDER.— Emma Middleton, a young
woman, about 29 years of age, and lately an inmate of
an asylum for fallen females in Mount-terrace, White-
chapel, who has been in custody a week, was brought up
on remand before Mr. Selef, charged oniher own confes-
eion with the wilful murder of a newly bora child at
Brighten.
The prisoner had been an inmate of a probationary
asylum at Dover, and was brought to the asylum in
Mount-terrace a fortnight before her apprehension. A
few days afterwards sho appeared to be greatly agitated,
and made a statement to Mr. Russell, an officer of the
asylum, that she was in the servic3 of a gentleman as house-
maid, in Brighten, abut 7 months ago, and her fellow-
servant, the cook, gave birth to a child at one
o'clock in the morning; and she assisted the mother in
strangling it, and then ran down to the beach and threw
the body into the sea. The cook destroyed all trace of
what bad happened and then absconded. The prisoner
was about to follow her, but her maters compelled her to
stop one month longer. The prisonck added that she had
not been happy since, and the 44435 of the murdered
child were always upon her.
Inspector Griffin, of the I division, said he had re-
ceived a letter from the chief of police at Brighton, in
'newer to a oornmunication, and it was in effect that
inquiries had been made, and that HO child had ever
been found on the beach Or in the sea at Brighton.
Mr. Selfe said the police at Brighton ought to snake
further inquiries whether any servant—a cook—
had left a gentleman's family suddenly, about seven
months ago. The prisoner had made a statement which
could be either disproved or confirmed. The mere
circumstance of nobody having been found on the sea
shore did not prove that the prisoner's statement was
false. It was probable the increased publicity that
would be given to the case might be the means of
obtaining more information and be remanded the
prisoner for another week.

a depressed state, and prices were nominally the turn
lower than on Monday.

scarcely any business was transacted, and most kinds were

The supply of beasts here to-day was only moderate, yet
the bed trade ruled heavy, at Monday's decline in the

however, no change took place—the top figure for Downs
being is 4d per 81b. The show of calves was very limited,
and tie veal trade ruled active, at an advance in the quo-
tations of 4d per Slb. The prime 4 veal sold at 5s per Sib.
