went to the privy, from which he saw the constable, who
was also present, take the body of a new born infant. -
Ou
examining it he found that the head had been nearly severed
from the body, and was only hanging by some of the muscle,..
The throat had been cut so as to divide the trachea, the
carotid arteries, the cesephagus, and the spinal marrow. ll*
went to the prisoner, whom he found on the bed, and inquired
of her if she had had a child. She at first denied that such
was the case, but aftetwards admitted it. She was asked
whether she had cut the throat of the child before or after its
death. She said' it was afterwards. She was then asked wit It
what she had done it, and she produced a knife, which another
witness stated she had always carried about her. On exa—
mining this knife its blade was found to be covered with
blood. The surgeon would not undertake to say whether the
throat of the child had been cut before or after death. In
his judgment the child had been born alive, but the wounds
inflicted might have been inflicted after death.
Evidence was also given that in an outhouse adjoining the
privy the prisoner's gown, which she had first put on in the
morning, and the apron which she had carried through the
kitchen, were found bundled up together, acd saturated with
blood.

Mr. Justice Em.E, having summed up the case in a very
able manner, the jury, after some consultation, acquitted the
prisoner of the murder, and found her guilty of concealing
the birth.

The Leathed JUDGE, after an impressive address, sentenced
her to two years' imprisonment.
Mary Ann IVorr was then placed in the doc..i. She was
indicted fur the murder of her child, by administering to her
a quantity of poison, called white arsenic.
Mr. Stock conducted the prosecution. The prisoner wag
defended by Mr. Edwards.

After hearing the evidence of Mrs. Oastler, with whom the
prisoner lodged, and the surgeon who examined the body of
the child, the jury almost immediately returned a verdict of
Not Guilty.
The whole of the business for this county has b_en got
through. To effect this, Mr. Justice Erie has again sat the
whole of the day trying prisoners in the Nisi Prius Court.
Mr. Crowder has also been engaged in trying cases in the
grand jury-roc m. Tt e Learned Commissioner did not finish
his labour till after twelve o'clock at night.

BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION FOR
JOURNEYMEN TAILORS.

The anniversary festival of the Benevolent Institu-
tion for Aged and Infirm Journeymen Tailors took
place, last ( vening, at the Freemasons Tavern. Mr.
Alderman end Sheriff Sidney in the chair.
At six o'clock upwards of 250 gentlemen sat down to
dinner in the Freemasons' Hall. On the right of the
Chairman sat Mr. Stultz, the President, and founder of,
and a most liberal benefactor to, the Institution. On
his entering the room he was much applauded. The
cloth having been removed, and the usual loyal and pa-
triotic toasts having been given, and cordially se-
sponded to,
The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the toast of the
evening, which was prosperity to the Benevolent Insti-
tution for the Relief of the Aged and Infirm Journey-
men Tailors.—(Cheers.) He felt unable to give ex-
pression to the feelings under which he laboured in
rising to propose the toast, and he could only regret
that the task of proposing it had not fallen into abler
hands. He had been very kindly solicited to preside over
the anniversary festival of the Institntion that evening,
and ke attributed the honour conferred upon him to the
fact that he had been chosen to till the important situa-
tion of Sheriff of the City of London. So kind, however,
hail been the reception that he had met with, that he
felt quite at home among them.— (Cheers.) He felt as
if he were among his own family.—(Renewed cheers.)
lie went heart and hand with them in the benevolent
object, the success of which they were met to promote—
(Cheers)—and one of the greatest delights he ex-
perienced from the office he had the honour to hold was
this—that it brought him into contact with the members
of benevolent Associations like the present.—(Cheers.)
The metropolis might be proud of the number of its
institutions fur the relief of the decayed merchants and
tradesmen, and artisans, and among them this 'institu-
tion was entitled to take a high rank. It owed its rise
to the exertions of one or two benevolent gentlemen,
more especially to his Hon. Friend on his right (Mr.
Stultz), who in this work of benevolence stood almost
alone in this great metropolis.—(lmmense cheering.) It
must be delightful to him to see his benevolent exer-
tions thus responded to—(Cheers)—and he might welt
Peel proud in having been the founder of such an Insti-
tution.—'Cheers.) If an augury of the future could be
drawn from the past, then he should say, that a long
course of prosperity was open to this institution.
Formerly there had been no class of men so
improvident as the journeymen tailors. But a great
change had recently taken place, which might be
mainly attributable to this Institution, which en-
couraged provident habits in the men, and enabled
them, by a very small pecuniary subsc:iption, to secure
to themselves a provision in old age, or in sickness.—
(Cheers.) He rejoiced to say, that the Society was
in a prosperous state. They had between 11,0001. and
12,0001. in the funds—(Cheers)—and they had last
year received between 4,0001 and 5,0001. They had
lately completed a beautiful and extensive range of
almhouses ; but, extensive as they were, those houses
were already crowded with inmates, and there was a
great call for some extension of them. With that
liberality which always characterised him, Mr. Stultz
had offered the ground whereon to erect more houses,
whenever they should be in a position to avail them-
selves of his offer.--(Loud cheers.) That, Institution
offered to every man connected with the trade the cer-
tainty of being saved from the parish, if he became a
contributor to the Institution, and the contribution re-
quired was so small, that it was absolutely without a
parallel in the history of similar institutions.—(Cheers.)
Now, his first duty as chairman was, to ask them to
support this Institution by every means in their
power.—(Cheers.) Let it nut be said that his occu-
pancy of the chair had been of disadvantage, to the
Institution. He called upon them to support him
by contributing liberally to the funds of the Institution.—
(Cheers.) Lot them not consider the weakness of she
advocate, but the strength of the cause.—(Renewed
cheering.) An Institutik n like this, for the support of
the aged and infirm, appealed to the sympathy of every
human being. He hoped that it might increase in
strength and power every year—that it might run a long
course of prosperity, and reach a good old age.—(Loud
cheers.) The worthy Chairman concluded by pro-
posing the toast, which was drunk with three times three,
and followed by Balfe's beautiful ballad, " We may be
happy yet," which was exquisitely sung by Mr. G.
Genge, and honoured with an encore.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed the Health of Mr.
Stultz, the President, who had contributed in founding
and supporting this Institution, no less a sum than
14,5001.—(Vehement cheering.) In fact, the Institution
had been most liberally supported. One of the Vice-
Presidents, Mr. Hounsler, had contributed 1,0041. to its
support.—(Loud cheers.)
The health of Mr. Stultz having been drunk enthusi-
astically, with all the honours, that gentleman, who was
received with immense cheering, briefly acknowledged
the compliment.
The health of the Chairman was then drank and ac-
knowledged.
Various other toasts were given in the course of the
evening, and the party broke up about eleven o'clock.
Nearly 6001. was subscribed to the charity in the room.
The musical arrangements, which were under the di-
rection of Mr. G. F. Taylor, reflect the highest credit on
that gentleman. Besides the ballad so exquisitely sung
by Mr. Genge, to which we have already alluded, we
cannot close this notice without warmly praising the
'spirited manner in which the buffo-duet from the Elisir
d' Amore was given by Messrs. Smith and Rennie. It
was much superior to the ordinary run of after-dinner
singing.
