cannot understand how a child should be refused buriaL •
because it is a heretic.

DC. PHILLIMORE—The child was baptised M heresy
and schism.

The COURT—The canon excepts such as " have been
denounced excommunicate majore excommunications
for some grievous and notorious crime." Has this child
been so denounced ? You do not distinguish between
the effect of heresy and schism on the party adminis-
tering the rite and on the party to whom the rite is ad- .
ministered.
Dr. PUILLIMORE—The party deceased is excluded •
from a spiritual right by the fault of her parents.
The argument stands over till next Court day.

CENTRAL CRI VIINAL COURT•
OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE and Mr. Justice L
Causeencli'
Elizabeth Todd and Sarah Trussler were placed at the bar,
charged with forging a receipt, for the purpose of defrauding the
Rev. John Hume Spry and Robert William Shead. The indict.
inept contained several counts varying the charge.
Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Wilkins .nd
Mr, Huddleston appeared for the defendants.
It appeared, from the statement of Mr. CLAaxsox, that the
prosecutors in this case were the trustees of the Mailiebeee
Savings' Bank. The bank had several thousand depositors. whoi
deposited money in it to the amount of 390,000 t. Asecnig:.
the depositors was a person named Mary Todd. On the
20th of January the defendant, Elizabeth Todd, gave pol l—
of her intention to draw the money deposited by Oil
Todd, to the amount of 1161. She represented herself
to be Mary Todd, but on comparing her handy/title:
with that of the original depositor, it appeared to be differen"
On the 30th she came for the money, but was told that as there
was some suspicion about her, she should procure the declarstione
was
of some respectable persons as to her identity. She said she w
the person who deposited the money, and the defendant, Sarah
Trussler, came forward and said she knew her to be I°' Tbe
money was, however, refused, and in some time after the defendant,
Todd, came to the bank, and said there was no use in denying tlf,
fact—that she was not Mary Todd, but her sister; that she had bee':
drawn 201., and she now wanted the remainder. It appeared tba;
the original depositor, Mary Todd, had died, and left Robert Ted*
her sole executor. He was produced before the Magistrate, and be
declared that part of the money deposited in the bank belonged to
Elizabeth Todd, and he was aware of her going to the bank 0 re.
ceive the money.

Witnesses were called, who proved the above facts.
Mr. Witams then addressed the jury on behalf of Elisabeth
Todd, and Mr. HUDDLESION on behalf of the other prisoner. s
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE summed up the evidence, and told
jury they ought, in his opinion, to find a verdict of guilty refs:di...-
of the consequences.
The jury found the prisoners Guilty, but strongly recomMeo444
them to mercy.
Mr. CLaaaso.v made the same request on behalf of the
prosecutors.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE sentenced each of the prisoners to it/
years' imprisonment in the House of Correction. He
power to sentence them fur a shorter period, but in all probills
the sentence of the Court would be mitigated upon applicatl°
the proper quarter.
