her clothes'on. She had been complaining of a pain
in her stomach. Witness told her to undress, which
she did, when witness saw blood on her clothes. Wit-
ness said to the prisoner, " You are unwell," to which
she replied, " She was." Witness then came down
stairs and told her sister of 'Jilt illness of the prisoner.
Witness again went up, but nothing passed between
her and the prisoner. Saw the prisoner again the
next morning, and in a band-box in her room, under
a bonnet, she discovered the dead body of a child.
Her sister was in the room at the time, and exclaimed,
" Oh ! Ellen, how could you do such a thing as that,"
to which the prisoner made no reply. Up to the time
of the prisoner's being taken ill she had done her usual
work, and there was nothing in her appearance to
show she was with child.
Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—The prisoner
only came to witness's brother'S house on the 17th of
October. " Her brother. in-law had taken the prisoner
into their service from her previous good conduct in
her last place.
Ann Long recollected going to Mr. Pratt's house
on Friday, the 21st October. Went up stairs to the
prisoner's room. She appeared to be unwell; and
upon witness asking her how long she had been so, she
answered nearly two months. IVitness observed spots
nn the floor, which :induced her to ask the question.
Witness was with the prisoner the whole of Friday
night, and on the following morning a search being
made, the body of the . etigiVi74.:discovered in ber
/6nd-box, Saw no marks of violence on the body of
the child. Saw. something round its neck like a dark
piece of ribbon, but witness could not tell what it was,
The-lips and right side of the face appeared black.
The body was cold.
Mr. Green, a surgeon at Camberwell, was called
in to see the prisoner, and found her unwell, but he
did not think at that time that she had been delivered
of a child. On discovering the body of the child its
countenance appeared distorted ; a piece of green
ribbon was turned several times round the neck
tight. On examining the child, the lungs appeared
partially inflated, the heart in a healthy state, and
there was every appearance to denote that the child
had been born alive. Witness had no doubt that the
prisoner had recently been delivered of a child.
On the cross-examination of this witness by Mr.
Clarkson, he stated that the ligature might have been
placed about the neck of the child by the prisoner,
for the purpose of aiding herself, not having any other
assistance; and all the marks described by him would
have existed from the application of the ligature,
whatever might have been the cause of its application.
Inspector Walters produced the ligature found on
The neck of the child.
This closed the case for the prosecution.
Mr. CLARKSON most feelingly addressed the Jury
at considerable length on behalf of the prisoner.
Mr. Justice COLTMAN summed up, and the Jury
after a short consultation, found•the prisoner guilty of
concealing the birth of the child.
Mr. Justice COLTMAN sentenced her to two years'
imprisonment and hard labour.
STEALING LETTERS.— Wm. Taylor, who pleaded
guilty in the early part of the day to an indictment,
charging him with stealing a letter containing half a
sovereign, the property of the Postmaster-General, and
whose sentence the Learned Judge deferred, was now
called up for judgment.
Mr. Justice COLTMAN sentenced him two years'
imprisonment and hard labour, observing that he at
first doubted whether he ought not, consistently with
his duty, to sentence him to transportation.
Charles Williams alias George Thompson, 30, was
indicted, for that he having been before convicted of
uttering counterfeit coin, afterwards committed the
offence of uttering counterfeit money.
Mr. Ellis and Mr. Bodkin conducted the prosecu-
tion. The case was of the ordinary description ; and
it appeared that, in the month of January, 1840, the
prisoner was tried at this Court, and convicted of the
offence of passing counterfeit money, and he was sen-
tenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard
labour. It was proved that the prisoner had since
passed a counterfeit shilling.
The Juiy found the prisoner guilty, and he was
ordered to be transported for ten years.
Charles Bowdon, 37, was charged with a capital
offence upon Clara Tilley ; and Thomas Howard, 28,
was charged with being an accessory to the comtnis.:
sion of the offence.

TV ORSHIP-S TREE T.
Harriet Sttrgrove, a young lady of very interesting
appearance, aged 22, was charged by her father, the
Rev. John Surgrove, the Rector of St. Mary, So-
merset, Upper Thames-street, with having absconded
from home, taking with her the whole of her ward-
robe, and also with having obtained goods in his name
from different tradesmen.
The Rev. Gentleman stated that he was under the
. painful necessity of charging the defendant, who was
his youngest daughter, with having absconded from
home in company with his gardener, a young man
named William Godfrey, and- with having, since her
departure, obtained a variety of articles from different
tradespeople on his account. On the morning of Sun-
day last he left her in charge of his house in Dalston,.
terrace during his absence at church, and on return-
ing home in the afternoon he found that she had gone
away, and had removed the whole of her wearing•
apparel and everything belonging to her.
Mr. BINGHAM inquired whether be had been in
the habit of authorising his daughter to give orders
for goods in his name, previously to this unhappy
occurrence.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 30.
• THE QUEEN V. JOHN JONES.
This was an indictment under the provisions of
Hothouse's Vestry Act, against the churchwarden of
the parish of Christ Church, Spitalfields, for that he,
having received a requisition signed by more than 50
rate-payers, requiring him to convene a meeting of
rate-payers to consider the propriety of placing the
parish under the provisions of the Act of Wm. IV.,
for the batter regulation of vestries, commonly called
Hobhouse's Act, had not stuck notice of the same up
at the chutch door as required by the provisions of
the Act, and had thus prevented the sense of the pa-
rish being taken on the subject. •
Mr. Montagu Chambers and Mr. Colley stated
the case for the prosecution ; and Mr. Ilumfrey
argued the case for the defendant, contending
that, according to the proviso in the Act, none
of its provisions should extend to any parish
which was not part of a city or town, unless the
ratepayers of such parish should amount to 800 in
number. the preseut instance. the bite-payers who.
were examined in Court, proved that the number of
rate-payers in the parish, in 1842, when the requisition
was presented, amounted to 773 only, and he submitted
that the parish did not form part of any city or town.
The Jury, under the direction of the Learned
Judge, acquitted the defendant.

lir:1L111EIL CASTLE, TUESDAY, Nov. 29.—Her Majesty
has not left the Castle during the day, in consequence,
as I am informed, of having been again seized
with a cold and face-ache. Sir James Clark, who, it
was expected, would have left for town this morning,
still remains.

The Royal dinner-party this evening will be confined
exclusively to the members of the Royal household.
Saturday next is now the day "named " for the de-
parture of the Court for Windsor ; but so many days
have been "named" during the past week, that the
period referred to is not to be relied upon.

The complainant answered in the affirmative, and
said that she was treated with the utmost indulgence
in every respect.

CORPORATION OF PLYMOUTH.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
PLYMOUTH, Nov. 29.—We have little of news
stirring among us at present. The vacancy created
by the bankruptcy of one of Sir James Graham's pet
Magistrates, Mr. Joseph Linton, enabled us to win
back one of the two seats we lost in the Municipal
Council at the late elections, and at the same time re-
trieve the character of a ward which was supposed to
be incurably affected with Toryism. One Tory will
go out for this ward next year along with Mr. Derry,
who is merely returned for the remainder of Mr.
Linton's term. Ile will then be brought forward
again, and I trust triumphantly along with another
Liberal, and an effort will, I trust, be made in the
other wards in which Tory vacancies occur, to
strengthen the Liberal majority. In Devonport the 1
Tories have gained a temporary ascendancy by the
interference, on the part of the dock-yard officers. I
heard that clerks were stationed at the various polling
places, to watch the votes of the dock-yard men, and
that a book is kept in the yard, in which every elector
is registered, and followed by three columns, in which
the degree of their political warmth is distinguished
by appropriate marks.
I shall endeavour to procure evidence of these facts,
and communicate it to some honest representative of
the people.

Tuesday, the Archduke Frederick of Austria was
occupied nearly two hours in going over the House of
Correction, Tuthill-fields. His Imperial lEghness, at-
tended by Captain Fitzroy, R.N., and party, afterwards
visited Newgate, and the Post-office, in St. Martin's-le-
Grand.
His Imperial Highness the Archduke Frederick of
Austria, accompanied by Captain Fitzroy, R.N., and
suite, visited, ,on Monday last, the establishment of
Messrs. Clowes and Sons, Stamford-street, Blackfriars.
His Royal Highness and suite took a lively interest in
the operations of the different branches carried on, and
expressed great gratification.
THE WEST INDIA AND MEXICO MAILS.—The
following notice was issued on Tuesday at St. Martin's-
le-Grand and the branch offices :--." The Clyde steamer
for the West India mails for the Ist December (to-day),
not being ready for sea, will be detained until the
arrival of the post of Saturday, the 3d of December, at
Falmouth. The Tay steamer arrived at Madeira on the
evening of the 9th or morning of the 13th inst. ; she
was prevented by a gale of wind from touching at Co-
runna."
THE CHINESE WAR.—The following is an extract
of a letter from that gallant officer Captain Hall, of
the Hon. Company's steamer Nemesis, to a gentleman
in this city, dated Nankin, August 31, 1842 :—" Now
the war is happily over, I have time to think of my
old friends. Yes, thank God, we have at last brought
these fellows to respect the name of our noble coun-
try, and to speak of us with respect. They have been
regularly beaten into it; and I feel proud and thank-
ful in having taken such an active part. The parti-
culars von must have seen and heard all about before
this. yes, the Chinese know her well, they call her
the devil ship, fire ship, and all sorts of names. Well,
I do think myself truly glad to get out of it as I
have. At Chapoo I had two of my men shot at my
side; and the other day, at the taking of Woosung,
one of my men had his right arm shot off, the arm
chest near where I was standing shot to pieces, and
fifteen shots struck us that day. I hope some of
these days to give you all particulars myself; for the
present, you must be content with this short scroll.
Peace was signed on board the Cornwallis on the 29th
instant. I was present, and a very interesting sight
it was; and the day before I was at the top of the far-
famed Porcelain Tower, and had the pleasure of
drinking the Queen's health and friends north of the
Tweed. The sight was truly splendid. We rode
out, about twenty-five of us, on Chinese horses, and
had a good dinner there, and returned the same even-
ing to our outer advanced guard, where our artillery
was. The latter are a fine set of fellows."—Caledonian
Mercury.
SUICIDE TIIROUGII DISTRESS.—TtIeSday morning
Mr. Wakley held an inquest at the-Middlesex Hospi-
tal on the body of an aged glass stainer, named Joseph
-Millet'. A gentleman's servant said that, as he was
passing the end of Newman-mews, Oxford-street, he
saw deceased in the act of cutting his throat with a
razor. The witness instantly pinioned the arms of
the deceased and forced him to throw away the razor.
He asked deceased why he had attempted to destroy
himself, when the latter said, " How can you ask me ?
I did it from distress." As he was bleeding profusely
from a wound in the throat, he was promptly con-
veyed to the above hospital, in which he died from
mental depression and loss of blood. Mr. Tournerelli,
a sculptor, of the Cornwall-road, Southwark, said that
he had known deceased for the last fifty years, and
had taken tea with him on Monday last, at his house
in Golden-square. He then appeared of weak mind,
and had been so for the last eight or nine months. A
Post
.moriem examination of the head of deceased
showed a large effusion of serum on the surface and
into the ventricles of the brain. Verdict—Temporary
insanity.
THE LATE DUKE OF ORLEANS.—The following
description of a smoking divan, formed by the
lamented Duke of Orleans, in his apartments of the
Pavillon Marsan, at the Tuileries, is given by the
Constitutionnel:—" This sanctuary was arranged in
all the style of Oriental luxury. Here the Prince,
dressed in an Asiatic•robe de chambre, pantaloons, and
babouches, held his smoking parties. The saloon con-
tained a rich collection of pipes of all countries—
hookahs from the East Indies; Egyptian and Arabian
chibouques ; Turkish meerschaums; and Persian
kalyhous, all enriched with precious stones and rings
of damaski work, and having mouth-pieces of the
rarest amber. But though surrounded with all this
splendid apparatus, the Prince and his friends con-
tented themselves with cigars. These cigars, how-
ever, were made of the choicest tobacco from Latakia,
Beyrout, and Salonica, or of the celebrated herb of
Shiraz, which the Shah of Persia reserves for his own
use, and which never finds its way into Europe,'ex-

prefer, to recover the sum of GOC Is., alleged to be
due from the defendant, the captain of a Venetian po-
lacca, for work and labour done, and for money paid.
The defendant pleaded that he had made various

payments to the plaintiff, which, together with a sum
of 171. 10s. 7d. paid into Court, made up a sum of
36/. 10s. 7d. which was all plaintiff was entitled to
receive. Mr. Hoggins appeared for the plaintiff and
Mr. Watson for the defendant.
For the plaintiff several witnesses were called, who
proved that the plaintiff had acted as interpreter daily
for the defendant, for about three months, and had
paid some small sums as boat hire, and as tavern re-
konings, on his account. The plaintiff charged 105.6 d.
a day for his labour as an interpreter, snd alleged he
had been employed 84 days ; and a witness, named
Mocada was called to prove that the charge was a
reasonable one. On his cross-examination, however,
he admitted that -he himself was as good an inter-
preter as Brunatti, that the highest amount of remu-
neration he had ever received was 7s. 6d. a day, and
'that only on one occasion, and that on all other occa-
sions he had received only ss. a day.
For the defendants, the clerk of Messrs. Pope, the
ship-brokers to defendant's ship, was called to prove
various payments made to plaintiff on defendant's ac•
count, and a host of interpreters, who all swore that it
was not usual to make any charge for interpreting,
but to leave the question of remuneration to the gene-
rosity of the captain. The utmost ever given where a
ship remained even for four or five months, was 101.
The usual remuneration was 51. for the time the ship
remained in port. It was proved also that plaintiff
lived with the captain and took his meals with him,
and that he had been paid Si. allowed by Lloyd's to
the captain for an interpreter, and 91. 103. by Messrs.
Pope as commission for getting them the ship.
The Jury found a verdict, stating that they con-
sidered he was entitled to 7s. 6d. a day for his ser-
vices fbr eighty-four days, and that they disallowed
all his other claims except a sum of 3s. 2d. The
verdict was accordingly entered for the plaintiff,
damages 3/. 2s. 5d., being the balance due, after de-
ducting the money paid into Court, and the payments
made by defendant.

ROYAL ADELAIDE GALLERY,
On Tuesday evening there was an exceedingly
crowded company assembled in the charming Pro-
menades Musicales at this elegant and favourite
Saloon, in which the highest science is ren-
dered popular—and the most popular amusements is
enriched and refined, by that happy combination of
scientific lore, sound practical judgment, and the
means to boot, on the part of the present manage-
ment, for the want of which other similar enterprises
have failed to maintain the favour which the public
seemed ever ready to continue. The orchestra, under
the direction of Mr. Julian Adams, is most effective ;
and in the vocal department the efforts of Mrs. Wil-
son, Miss Thornton, Mr. F. Martin, and Mr. R. F.
Smith, were rewarded with repeated and well-
merited applause. Amongst the most prominent
novelties of the season just commenced is a little
Thespian prodigy, somewhat of the Fisher, Betty, and
Burke school (but in this respect more wonderful than
any of her predecessor phenomena, that she has made
her debut before the age of five years)—it is needless
to say we mean the Infant Thalia. She with
very great cleverness, represented the Bavarian
Broom• Girl and the Highland Laddy, introducing in
each representation the characteristic dances. She
was encored, and was vehemently applauded through-
out her performance. The popular lectures on science
were also very well attended to, and gave, as usual,
unqualified satisfaction. There were nearly 1,500
persons present.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 30.
' O'CONNOR AND OTHERS V. MARJORIBANKS.
The plaintiffs were Miss O'Connor and Miss Rossi ter,
administrators of the lute Georgq Garrow, Esq., of
Madras, and the defendants were the bankers well
known as Coutts and Co. The action was brought in
trover to recover 6501., the value of a chest of plate,
which was detained by the defendants under guarantee
• of indenthity from a gentleman named Hodgson, who
claimed a lien on the plate to the amount of 2501.,
the principal, and a further sum, the interest
of a bill of exchange drawn by the late
Mrs. Garrow on, and accepted by her husband,
The case for he defendant (conducted by Mr. Ser-
geant BolvirAs) was that the plate was lodged with
the defendants as a security for the bill of exchange,
when they discounted the latter. A number of wit-
nesses were examined in support of this statement.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, for the plaintiff, argued
from the evidence, at great length, that Mrs. Garrow
hadno authority from the husband to pledge the plate,
which was lodged in the care of Coutts and Co. only
for its security.
Mr. Justice CAMPBELL summed up.—Verdict for
the defendants.

Mr. Ballantine defended the prisoners.
It will be remembered that the prisoners had the
charge of a Windsor waggon, and that the prosecu-
trix, who is the wife of a soldier stationed at that
place, rode in their waggon; and it was alleged that
Boonton, taking advantage of her unprotected condi-
tion, committed the offence imputed to him. The
case, however, was by no means satisfactorily made out.
The Jury acquitted both prisoners.
Daniel Beckham was charged with feloniously ut-
tering a forged acceptance to
a bill of exchange for
1631., with intent to defraud Messrs. Evans Brothers,
and Co.

The Jury, by direction of the Court, returned a
verdict of not guilty.
The Recorder sat in the evening, and disposed of
several cases, none of which possessed any features of
public interest.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 30.
FIRMINGER V. HEMMING.
This was an action for assault, alleged to have been
committed by the defendant on the wife of the plaintiff.
It appeared that the families lived adjoining each
other in St. John's-wood, Regent's-park, and that the
plaintiff having been annoyed by the defendant's son,
while in his garden, complained to his mother, in con-
sequence of whose abrupt answer, and order to leave
the house, he had struck her and knocked her down.
The defendant pleaded some circumstances in miti-
gation of the assault.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff in the
sum of 501.

NEW COURT.
ROBBERY ON THE THAMES.—Henry Gaines, 22,
and John Kelk,lB, lighterrnen, were indicted for
stealing 48 quarters of beans, and 133 quarters of
oats, and a barge, the property of William Batt, value
295/. There were also indictments charging the pri-
soners with stealing the barge, 864 sacks, and a skiff.
It was shown by Mr. PAYNE, who appeared for the
defence, that the prisoners had been found sleeping
upon some sacks, and that the vessel which they had
been seen to enter had, by some circumstance, floated
from its first spot, carrying them with it. There v7:15
no evidence to show that they moved the barge, and
into the cabin to sleep,

The COMMON SERGEANT said, if the Counsel called
witnesses to character, the jury should know all. He
then summed up the evidence, considering that the
charge had been clearly proved against the prisoners,
but the jury immediately found both the prisoners
not guilty.
There was a disposition in the audience to applaud
the verdict given, but it was immediately checked.
The COMMON SERGEANT then ordered the prisoners
to be detained on the indictment for stealing the skiff.
John Holland was charged with stealing a purse and
51. in money, from the person of Eliza Aime Club-
borne. The police said the prisoner had long been
known as a member of the c swell mob," and that he
was

—Guilty. Transported for ten years.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. 30.
There was no feature of interest in this Court.
IN RE SPENSER PEELE.
The insolvent had formerly been the proprietor of
the Gordon Hotel, Covent-garden. He was described
as having been manager, subsequently, to the proprie-
tor of the plaining machine, at the Imperial Saw-
mills, Henlock City-road. Mr. Cooke, on be-
half of the insolvent, applied to have him liberated,
upon bail, until the day appointed for his final hearing.
The insolvent stated that Lord Strathmore was
deeply indebted to him, in hotel accounts, and to the
fact of his Lordship's not having paid them he attri-
buted his insolvency.—Admitted to bail.

for some time past alarming reports had been in cir-

consultation of physicians, who recommended that
his Highness should take more exercise than he had
been hitherto accustomed to do, but that there was
nothing in his case to cause the slightest alarm

This was the second appearance of the insolvent in
this Court during the last 12 months. He now ap-
plied to be liberated on bail.

Mr. Commissioner HARRIS commented, indig-

in one year, and ordered him back to prison.

The insoli;ent was a large iron-founder, in Shef-

He subsequently carried on business in the same line
in Bishops,gate-street.
Bail being allowed to justify, in the sum of 1,4001.,
the insolvent was liberated.

MANSION-HOUSE.

THE RECOVERY OF THE STOLEN NOTES
requestos o OF
of the
LONDON JOINT-STOCK BANK.—At th
Lord Mayor, Mr. Bush, the Solicitor to the Com-
mittee of Bankers for protection from forgeries and
fraud, waited upon his Lordship for the purpose of
communicating what had occurred with respect to
the extensive robbery committed by the clerk of the
London Joint-Stock Bank upon that establishment on
Saturday.
The Lord Mayor having been informed by Mr.
Bush that all the bank-notes and all the sovereigns,
with the exception of between 3001. and 4001., had
been restored to the managers of the bank on the pre-
ceding night,
His LORDSHIP asked whether the reward was still
offered for the apprehension of the robber, or whether,
as the property had been almost entirely returned to
the Directors, they had thought proper to proceed no
further against that individual? Mr. Bush replied
that the Bank Managers were determined to proceed
against the offender as if no restitution had been made.
They entertained not the most distant thought of a
compromise. The property had been given up to them
quite unconditionally, through a friend of the clerk.
The LORD MAYOR supposed the delinquent could
not have made use of the notes without considerable
difficulty.
Mr. Bush said that there were difficulties certainly
in the way of disposing of notes under such circum-
stances, and that the Bank had promptly adopted the
most effectual means of preventing them from being
passed to other parties. 'The offender had possessed
himself of 600 sovereigns, as well as the bank-notes
mentioned in the advertisement, and of these he had
returned so many that the deficit did not amount to
ir.Eush_
x deficiency.
Certainly ;
more than 300/. and 4001.
The LORD MAYOR said he had no doubt the secu-
rities of the offender would be made responsible for
the
the seenrities are liable.
The
_LORD MAYOR stated his object in making the
inquiry to be to satisfy the public of the restoration
of the property, the disappearance of which, under
such circumstances, had caused a very general feeling
of regret.

The Learned JUDGE postponed passing sentence.
CHARGE OF FORGERY.— Daniel Beckenham, 30, de-
scribed in the calendar as a founder, was charged with
forging the acceptance of Messrs. Evans and Co., the
drMr. CL
AR
of Thames-stree t.
Antc.scec, for the prosecution, stated that the
prosecutors, upon consideration of the case, did not
think it advisable to offer any evidence against the pri-
soner under the circumstances. A partnership to carry
out a patent had existed between the Messrs. Evans and
the prisuner, which had terminated. They had reason
to suppose the prisoner did not think it had so termi-
nated at the time. he accepted the bill, in the following
terms :—" For Messrs. Evans, Brothers, and Co. Daniel
Beckham." As there was every reason to believe the
prisoner had no felonious intent, with the consent of the
Court, the prosecution would be withdrawn.
After a few observations from Mr. BODKIN on behalf
of the prisoner, •

STATE OF TRADE.—The revival in trade, which
had begun to show itself in the first portion of the
month, has received a decided stimulus from the un-
expected settlement of the dispute with China. Much
of hope, it must be admitted, mingles in the feeling
which now pervades the manufacturing and mercan-
tile circles. But, besides the beneficial effects which
the restoration of peace cannot fail to have on trade
and commerce, by removing a cause of expense and
uncertainty, the triumph of our arms has forced open
a field so extensive for British enterprise that expec-
tation can scarcely be too highly raised as to the effects
which the event is likely to have on the commercial
prospects of the country. The entire Eastern World,
with the exception of Japan, is now laid open to our
merchants; and, great as is our trade in the East, it is
impossible to estimate the height to which it will at-
tain in the altered circumstances of that beautiful,
populous, and productive hemisphere. China itself,
with its teeming population of three hundred millions,
instead of being accessible to our commerce at one
port only, and that one not the best fitted for traffic,
is now accessible at five ports, and those, unlike Canton,
so situated as to make it certain that, in less than 12
months'from this time, British manufactures will find
their way into every part of the Celestial Empire.
The prospect is, it must be admitted on all hands,
cheering; and no sinister event will, we trust, arise
to cloud it. Nothing is now wanted but the repeal of
the Corn-laws to enable England to spring once more
than
forward in the career of prosperity ; and, thanksto the
-kw League, even that event

A FLYING MACHINE.--A man in New Orleans is
constructing an extraordinary machine by which he
intends to navigate the air. He is a skilful and intel-
ligent mechanician, and is sanguine of 81100153.

Mr. Justice COLTMAN said he had no objection to the
adoption of the course proposed by Mr. Clarkson, under
the circumstances.

The Jury consequently acquitted the prisoner.
CHILD 111HRDER.-:-Ellen Milliate, a good-looking
young woman, aged 20, was indicted for the wilful
murder of her illegitimate male child, on the 21st of

her brother. Knew the prisoner at the bar, who lived at
