BRAY V. TEAGUE, MITCHELL, AND BARNETT.

This was an uction to recover compensation in
damages from the defendants for assaulting the plain-
tiff, and imprisoning him for three hours.
The Learned JUDGE, after hearing part of the evi-
dence, recommended the parties to submit to an
arbitration.

The suggestion of the Court being agreed to, the
cause was referred.

An action of libel, " Stoggett v. Gilbert," was
opened, but the defendant offering a sufficient apo-
logy, and consenting to a verdict of 401. damages,
the case was not proceeded with. The particular
nature of the libel or slander did not transpire.
Lords Valletort and Eliot, Sir R. Vyvyan, and Mr.
Pendarvis (the two county members) were sworn
upon the Grand Jury.
Polkinghorne (the wrestler) is foreman of the
Petty Jury on the Crown side.
No case of any interest occurred in this Court
during the day.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT—COVENTRY, Ace. 19.
Elizabeth Carter, aged 51, was indicted for the
murder of a little girl named Elizabeth Wiles.
The prisoner, it appeared, was a woman who took
in washing, and resided in an obscure street in the
parish of St. Michael, in this city. Elizabeth Wiles'
mother was her neighbour, and the child was in
the habit of occasionally going to her house. On
the morning of the 17th of June last, the prisoner
called upon Mrs. Wiles, and requested that the
little girl might go and mind her house, whilst she
(prisoner) went to spread some clothes on the lines.
The child accordingly Went to her, and in the course
of about an hour afterwards the prisoner entered
the house of a man named Coleman, who lived near
her, and kept exclaiming, " I'm no more, I'm no
more, I'm no more." She offered Coleman the
key of the door, and told him to go into her house
and up stairs, and he would there see somebody.
Her manner was hurried and agitated. Coleman at
first refused the key, but at length took it, and
handEd it to his wife, who carried it to Mrs. Wiles.
lh.?. latter immediately went to the door, and called
her daughter; but receiving no answer, she went
up stairs, when the first object she beheld
was the lifeless body of her child, with the
head nearly severed from the trunk. The unfor-
tunate mother rushed down stairs in a distracted
state, and the alarm being given, a constable came
and examined the premises. In a closet, the door
of which was only fastened by a wooden button, he
found a razor, the blade of which was still wet with
blood. He also found a checkered apron, which the
prisoner had worn that morning, and it too was
stained with blood, as was the button of the closet
door. As soon as Mrs. Coleman went back to her
husband, she told him, in the prisoner's hearing,that
she had cut tho. fihild's throat; to•which the pri-

soner replied that she had, but she could not help
it. Surgeons were called in, who expressed their
opinion that the child's throat had been cut with a
razor. After examining the corpse, their attention
was next directed to the condition of the pri-
soner. They found her in a state of high fever,
her pulse being full and quick, her eyes restlessly
directed to every object around her, her lan-
guage incoherent, and, in shorts 'evincing all
the symptoms of inflammatory action of the brain.
When asked to account for the dreadful act she
had perpetrated, she said she could tell nothing
about it. She complained of pain about her temples,
which is of itself a symptom of diseased brain; and
all the indications of organic derangement satisfied
the medical gentlemen that she was sincere in this
respect. They said that the state of her pulse could
not have been produced by fear of the consequences
of her crime, because the emotion of fear renders
the pulse quick and weak, whereas her pulse was
quick and full, which is the effect produced by in-
flammatory organic action. They were therefore
convinced that she was decidedly insane, and she
was accordingly treated, when sent to the hospital,
as an insane person. It further appeared, that about
ten years ago, she was sent home from the regiment
to which her husband belonged, in consequence of
the deranged state of her mind. Under these cir-
cumstances the Jury acquitted the prisoner pn the
ground of insanity.
The LORD CHIEF BARON directed that she should
remain in prison to abide his Majesty's pleasure.
