SATURDAY.

Jane Colman, a decent mild-looking girl, about 19
or 20 years of age,. was indicted for having, on the
28th of June last, administered to Cordelia Adelaide
Head, an infant aged six months, a quantity of sul-
phuric acid, with intent to poison her.
A verdict of Not Guilty having been returned—
The Learned Judge addressed the prisoner, and,
telling her that there was no proof of her having ad-
ministered any thing of a deleterious nature to the
child, and that if she had, which was extremely
doubtful, there was every reason to suppose she did
so accidentally, ordered her to be discharged.
Robinson, Brown, Watson, Young, and Morris,
the persons convicted on Thursday of the robbery at
the India Arms inn, at Devonport, were brought up
to receive sentence.
Mr. Justice BURROUGH told the prisoners he had
considered with the utmost attention as to the pu-
nishment which it was his duty to inflict upon them.
Had all the matters connected with, the case of the
prisoner Robinson, which were within the knowledge
of the Court, come before him in the shape of legal
