OLD BAILEY, APRIL 10.

:, Esther Hibner, the elder, Esther Hilmar, the younger,
anti. Ann Robinson, were indicted for the wilful murder
of. Frances Colpitts, a child who had been apprenticed to
tlo first-named prisoner by the parish of St. Martin's-in.

Jeremiah Bacon Smith examined by:Mr. BOLLAND—.
Stitted that he wait master of St. Martin's hvorkliouse, and
that thedeceased child had been apprenticed to the prisoner'
Esther Hihner, the elder, by the officers of that parish.—:
She was then in good health.
:-!-Gross-examined' by
,Mr. 13-aniv,L.She :underwent no
riedica en:tin-Stier' 'previous to her being, bound.
Francei)OitihsexaMined by-Mr. ALLEY—Site stated that
ithe was grandmother to, the deceased, and had been in the
habit of Visiting. her. The last tiate she saw her in health
Was' on • the 27th of September. On the 90th November
she called at Mrth Hibner's; but was told that she could
net see her grand-daughter. She called a second time in
January last, but the younger Hibner said site could riot
see the deceased, as it was Saturday night, anti she was
about to be washed. The witness -twain 'called on the 9th
Feb. ; the same prisoner then told her that her grand-
daughter had 'spoiled her work, and as a punishment
should not see the witness. She' repeated her visit on the
following morning, when she was told by the younger
Ijihner that her grand-daughter had .gone'to the Strand.
'flee itext-vuornitw she again called and on seeing
her grand-daughter. The younger Ilibtrthefi-Tesaiarked
you will see a pretty thing when you.do des her.' The
deceased was then brought down, and witness on seeing
her said she was in a deplorable state ; upon which the
prisoner observed that she had been very ill. Witness re-
presented the children's condition tG the parish officers of
St. Martin's-in-the-fields.

Cross-examined by Mr. BARRY-She did not know
whether the deceased used to go to church-Or out ou
messages.

John Blackman, exainined by Mr. Bor.r..krtn—Owing
to the information received from the last witness, he went
to Platt-terrace, the residence of the prisoners, and found
all the poor children in a most pitiable condition. They
were all dreadfully emaciated. On the next day he went
again with Mr. Wright, the surgeon of St. Pancras In-
firmary. The deceased was stretched on a mattress in the
back parlour, and hail on a cap, a night-gown, and was
covered with something like a shawl. The elder Hibner
stated that the deceased-bad wetted the bed, and turned
up the mattress in a very unfeeling manner. The elder
Hibner refused to let any of the children be removed, ex-
cept the deceased, who was sick. The deceased was taken
to the St. Pancras Infirmary, she being too ill to sustain
'so long a journey as to St. Martin's work-house. Her
lips were contracted, and disclosed the gums and teeth, and
there was a redness about the eyes. There were also
some bruises on her fOtehead and anus.

Cross-examined by Mr. BARRY—The elder Hibner al-
lowed the deceased to be taken away. The child was in
her nightclothes. He was so agitated that be did not
notice particularly the stains on the mattress. The de-
ceased was covered either by a woollen shawl or half a
blanket.

By Mr. BOLL A ND—The weather was wet and cold at
this time.

Susan 'Whitby, one of the children, was next called by
Mr. ALLEY-She was apprenticed to the elder Hibner in
November twelvemonth, and knew the deceased. The
deceased and the other apprentices were forced to get up
to their work as early as three and four o'clock in the
morning, and were kept working until ten and eleven at
night. The deceased and the other children used to get a
slice of dry bread and a cup of milk at their breakfast.
This was all they were allowed for that day. Sometimes
the deceased was kept without her breakfast, her mistress
saying that she bad not earned it. About one o'clock the
deceased got a fen- potatoes, which, during that day, was
all she or any of the Others bad to eat. When all the
children had potatoes, nine pounds were got to serve the
whole family, consisting of" twelve per4oni. The de-
ceased and the rest slept on the floor of the work-room,
with only a shest under and a sheet over them. This was
all the covering they had all the winter. Every second
Sunday they were allowed meat, but on the other Sun-
days they were given a few potatoes and confined in a
kitchen, the windows of which were closed. Until Oc-
tober they were well fed, but from that time out their
proper food was taken away from them, The deceased
took sick immediately afterwards. She was frequently
beaten for not doing her work. She was beaten by all the
prisoners. The instrument used was either a stick, a
cane, or a slipper. The younger Hibner had taken her
from her frame and dashed her against the floor. She
also took the deceased up by her heels and plunged her
into a tub of cold water, and the prisoner Robinson said,
—.— her, dip her in again and finish her out right"—
When the deceased cried for food, the elder Hibner told
her that she might cry on, for she should not have any.
The deceased and the other children were in the habit of
eating scraps of meat and fish brought among the wash-
ings of an eating-house table to feed a dog. The quan-
tity of milk got each morning was half-a•pint, out of
which sufficient for the prisoners' tea was taken.
Cross-examined by Mr. BARRY-She bad told the
same story at Hicks's Hall. She only went once to
church; but was in the habit of going for cotton to the
City. The younger Hibner was kind to her at first.
Mary Harford, another of the children, examined by Mr.
BOLLAND-They were all beaten when they did not do
their work, and were kept up two nights one after the
other. They were kept without food one entire day : but
had been well treated until after they were bound. When
the deceased took ill she complained of a head-ache and
pain in the side. The elder Hibner used to say to her,
" Never mind, but do your work." At the time the de-
ceased was lying sick in the parlour her feet were very bad,
and her mistress gave her (witness) a cup of bread and
milk to poultice them. While the deceased was ill she
was made to clean down the stairs; but before she had
finished she fell down from weakness. The deceased was
I then taken up stairs by the younger Hibner and severely
flogged, and afterwards sent down to finish her work. -As
she was coming down she wetted the stairs, being unable
to reach the yard. The younger Hibner rubbed her nos?
in it, and took her up stairs again, and dipped her several
times in a pail of water. The prisoner Robinson said,
" Put her in again and finish her." This was after Christ.
mas. They all ate the dog's meat because they were very
hungry.

Croes••exa-nined by Mr. BAR AT—All the children, ex-
cept those that are dead, are at the workhouse, dud very
well uow. They were spuletioles left alone, but were
afrid to 5o . put, lest the prisoner should return. The
last time they were at the workhouse Witii when they
were bound.

Eliza Norman, another of the children, gave similar
evidence.

Mr. Charles James Wright, examined by Mr. ROLLAND
—He stated that he Was a surgeon, and accompanied Mr.
.Blackin in to visit the children. Tin.... 4e:,eased had sores
on her feet, and her toee, mortifitd? Qn examination'
at the St, pu\cras Infirmary, the body was found greatly
attenuated, with a slight' cough. She died on the 15th
of March. During the post mortem examiniqion, ab-
scesses of lungs Were foUnd. The lungs were covered,
with tubercles, and there was slight:iii(larnwatioan of the
abdominal viscera; keSid,es which, stone was found in tl:e
reicr,etcirY duct of the left kidney. The mortification was
prochaced, in his opinion, by want of necessary food and
exerciSe There were also some external bruises, but not
arising from very great violence. He

—ow—Upon the observation you made
•, -- •
before and after her deatlt,.do you think that
.vnat you bare heard from two of the witnesses, of dipping
her in a pail of water, would be sufficient to produce ab-
cesses on the lungs, and thereby produce death. Mr.
Gozner—Certainly I do, my Lord.
Here the ease for the prosecution closed, and the pri-
soners were called on for their defence. _ _ _

The elder . Hihuer h ft her case to. the• hands . of her
(laughter, who declared that she was not the mistress of
the children, and had no right, therefore, to be placed in

such a situation. She requeste I her Counsel to ask Eonie
questions of the witness, Mary Harfotd, who Was. re-
called.

Mr. • BARRY—Were not Vie steckings-of the deceased
changed three or four times a-day ? Witness—Thty were
not. - •

Mr. BARRY...-.Dill you ever push the deceased down?
Witness—l am sure I never did ; but I was told to do sr,
but I would not.

The younger Hibner said the girls had not spoken the
truth.

The prisoner, Robinson, also declared that she had
never acted cruelly towards the deceased.
:The father in-law of one of the children was the only
witness examined on the part of the prisoners, and his evi-
dent.* was wholly unserviceable to them.
Mr. Baron GARROW then proceeded-to sum up, the
evidence with that eloquence and ability for whicli, his
Lordship is so eminently distinguished. After.desesniint
on the nature and importance of the case, and the heinous-
ness of the crime by:which the prisoners stood charged--
and he was happy to say, it was what was very-oneominon
in this country—hie Lordship went on to explain the law
upon the subject, for the instruction of the Jury. The ,
eldest of the prisoners, Esther Minter the elder,' was the
mistress of the deceased, and in that character was bound
to protect and supply -her with all neceseary food and
raiment. In fact, no one else could have bad tiro
slightest controul Of theamfortunate child, and although the
other prisOnere might have prevent the melan-
choly :cardstrOphe if they had pleased; , tte' they
were under no sort of obligation, -excepting that im
posed by common humanity, they were not in the
eye of the law, considered as culpable as she whose
duty it was to succour and instruct the hapless victim.
Should the Jury, therefore, be of opinion that the deceased
came by her death in consequence of the treatment which,
with her mistress's knowledge, she had received while re-
siding under her roof, they were bound to find her guilty;
and acquit her daughter and the other prisoner. But if,
on the other hand, they should arrive at the conclusion that
the child's death had been the result of her immersion in
the water by Esther Hibner the younger, and the forewo-
man Robinson, in the absence of the prisoner, it would be
equally their duty to pronounce them guilty, and acquit
her. His Lordship then recapitulated the evidence of the
different witnesses, and concluded by expressing the satis-
faction which he felt in being under the correction of so
able and sound a lawyer as tie Noble and Learned Judge
who presided with him, and who, if he had stated any
thing that he was not authorised in stating, with that in-
dependence and impartiality which had ever marked his
judicial conduct, would not fail to mention the circum-
stance, and set the Jury right.
Lord TENTERDEN said, that in a case of such high im-
portance, he did not think that it would become him to
remain silent, he therefore availed himself of that oppor-
tunity of expressing his full concurrence in the law as Lis
Learned and eloquent Brother had laid it down, and in
the other remarks which he had made.

The Jury then consulted for about five minutes, when
their Foreman intimated that they wished to retire, which
they did exactly' at half-past six o'clock, and at 25 mi-
nutes before eight returned into Court, finding Esther
Hibner the elder Guilty of the Murder, and acquitting the
other two prisoners.
The prisoner, who heard her doom apparently unmoved,
was called up for judgment, when she was addressed as
follows by
The RECORDER—Prisoner at the bar; you have been
tried by a very attentive, a very intelligent, and a very im-
partial and humane Jury—you have been tried before a
Judge, who has done every thing in his power, in con-
currence with the Noble and Learned Judge who sat be-
side him on this Bench--to state every circumstance at-,
tending the cause for which you have been tried, that
could possibly have produced any just -conclusion in your
favour. A sense of the solemn duty under• whiCh the
Jury felt Viemselves placed, his compelled them, painful as
the task must have been, 'to pronounce you guilty of the
wilful and deliberate murder of a fellow-creature. Every
crime has its extenuation or aggravation in the circum-
stances under WhiCh it is perpetrated, and I am sorry to
say, and I trust in the moment of reflection, you have felt
that the crime of wilful and deliberate murder of which
you have been convicted, has been committed under cir-
cumstances of great, very great, aggravation. You were
called on by your duty to instruct and protect the infant
who was confided to your charge, and it would seem that,
for some time, you did pay a degree of attention to the
duty which your obligation imposed; but it was not very
long before you began to manifest a want of feeling fir
which there could be no other foundation than a desire by
inflicting the utmost possible misery upon the poor un-
protected infant, who was under your care, by the meat
dreadful conduct towards her to seek your own gain. You
saw her from day to day sinking under the most distressing
bodily exertions, and suffering a degree of pain and agony
of body than a person of a much more advanced age would
be able to endure; and you saw it though yeti have been the
mother ofa child, at least one, if not more; you saw it without
any of that feeling which one would imagine could never have
been absent from your breast. You are now to receive a
sentence,' which will soon consign you to that death, to
which, by your continued cruelty, day by day, you have
consigned an unoffending, and a helpless infant. You have
had good fortune, I may call it such, if you have made
good use of it, to have had the time intervening between
the last session and the present, to consider the awful si-
tuation in which you stand. I hope and pray that you .
have filled up that interval in reflecting npon the heinous
crime that you have committed—that you have not ceased,
from hour to hour, to supplicate from your Creator that
mercy which it is impossible you can hope to receive from
any earthly tribunal. If it should happen that you have
suffered that length of time to pass by without reflecting
upon your guilt—without praying to the Almighty to for-
give you your sins—Jet not another moment escape, when
you shall have been taken from that bar, before you fall
on'yonr knees, and, from Minute to minute, and from
hour to hour—so far as human strength can ortiA.:: you—,
call upon your God for his forgiveness, for you live but
very, very few hours to live ; and, if you leave not em-
ployed the time that has elapsed since xour cotrunittal to
prison, as you should empl2y

and part of whose trial we gave in our paper of-yesterday,
was found, after a long trial—Not Guilty.

" A, German Journal says, that•the Emperor of Russia
will ask the King of Prussia for engineers to serve in his
army against the Turks. On xite other hand, the partisatei
of Russia circulate a report that the Engli,h 'clandeStinelv
send assistance to the Turks, and that Engli'sli artillery
officers are going to Shutnla, to assist in clefi•nding it
against the Russians. It is more than prt,b iblohtt there
is not a syllable of truth in what is sail in -Germany on
this subject. Prussia cannot send engineeri to serve in
the Russian army without violating its neutrality totvaids
the Porte. As for England, the frank and tipen.charattee
of its First Minister repels every idea of secret assistance.
When the Duke of Wellington shall be disposed to assist
the Turks, he will do it in the face of the whole world.
It seems certain that there will be an interview between
the Royal Families of Russia and Prussia,- but that it has
no political object. It is no longer believed.. at Vienna.
that there is any treaty offensive and defensive between
Russia and Prussia. It seems that the Atistri,n.Gavei.n.
ment hai convinced itself.that no such treaty rxists.

" News Las been -received that Al. de Chateau-be-hilt,'
has left.ROme,- and is on his way back to France."
