SHOCKLIG CIRCUMSTANCE.

Last evening a Coroner's Inquest was held at the
George, West-street, West Smithfield, before Mr.
PAYNE, Coroner, on the body of Joseph Perry,
aged one year.
A young woman, who stated that her name was
Elizabeth Blagg, was sworn, and in a' state of ex-
treme agitation, gave the following evidence :—She
was the mother of the deceased, by Charles Joseph
Perry, whose real name was Wilbraham, with whom
she had cohabited for some time, but was not mar-
ried to him. On Sunday morning Perry left home;
during his absence she had been drinking; he came
home between fire and six o'clock, and was very
drunk; she was not sober at the time; Perry took
a seat in a chair by the side of the fire, and was
very violent in his abuse of her because she was in
liquor. They quarrelled for about a quarter of an
hour, and Perry, in his passion, took up the heater
of an Italian iron, which was lying near the grate,
and threw it her as she was sucking the child,
which struck the infant on the head. She screamed,
and Perry exclaimed, " Oh, my God! have I killed
my own babe ?" The child died in about two mi-
nutes afterwards. She had aggravated Perry very
much before he threw the iron. He was always very
kind to her child and to her, when she was sober.

The Jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter;
and Perry was forthwith committed to Newgate aR
the Coroner's warrant.
