some person out of a number who had a drunken row
In hislonse, about two o'clock in the morning of the
34 of this month, of which blow he lingered until the
23d, when he died. The Jury sat to elate hour, and
exaTined several witnesses. The Coroner adjourned
the Inquest until Tuesday, when they met again, and
examined several other witnesses. It areared that a
party of Irish labourers, from St. Giles sand Saffron •
bill, were drinking in thehouse (the company tunsisted
of Munster and Connaught met), when a row com-
menced, and the laqdlord, Mr. Leonard, actively en-
deavoured to restore order ; but he being a Munster
man, was personally attacked by theConnaught partY•
and received a blow from one of them. from a quart
pot, which laid open his skull, and df which he died.
The pot was produced ; the bottom, from the violence
of the blow, was Beat in ; it was marked with blood,
and there was still some of the hair sticking to it.—
The party dispersed. after
_this blow was given, but
they are all Well known. Mr. .lohn Vaunt, the surgeon
who examined the wound, deposed, that the deceased
came by his death through the effects of the blow h*
received,—The Jury, afier two days' investigation,
retamed a verdict of If' Murder against 7 persons.

he never was in Leonaid's house; that be works Rs A
navigator, and hau many witnesses to prove that he
was in his lodging on that sight and in bed, newer
being out since he came to London later than eight
o'clock in the evening, and that he was only sixteen
weeks (torn the county of Mayo, in Ireland.—Mr.
LaACM, the sitting Magistrate, ordered him to send
to those witnesses, that they might come forward and
prove what he- said, and ordered the officer to bring
forward the witnesses to establish the charge on the
- a I,.until whet time he committed the

prisoner.
JusTice-Roost servant maid,
named Phabe Wise, late in the employment of bin
Rawbone, oilman, in Fleet-market, was charged with
tre..ting in an inhuman manner a child, ONteen months
old. Mr. RA wbone stated, that he had len suSlitated
the prisoner of Maltreating his child, but he was'up.
able to ascertain the fact with certainty until Sunday
last, when he discovered violent bruises on its tem-.
pies and checks. On inquiry, he learnt from a slap
servant, that the prisoner had struck it with greal;
violence during his absence on Christmas-day, which
was confirmed by sundry other bruises on various
parts of the child's body.
The prisoner, in her defence, said, the child had
been obstinate, and would not eat its victuals. She
in consequence struck it on the cheek, when it fell on
the dresser.

Mr. Rawbone said, he was anxious to make an ex-
ample of the offender, because he believed servants
were too much in the habit of treating children com-
mitted to their care with cruelty. lf, however, she
would agree to pay a guinea to some public charity,
he would not push the business further : if she did not
do this, he would certainly prosecute her for the
assault.

Alderman HEYOATE asked whether the child bad I
had not given some provocation to the prisoner ? and
suggested the propriety of servants being armed with
some authority for the correction of children placed
under their care. Mr. Rawbone said, he knew of no
provocation which an infant of sixteen mouths old
could give to justify the treatment which his child had
received; nor did he think menial servants ought to
be suffered to punish the children of their micers
The parent was the best judge of the punishment,
when offences were commi.ted ; bat be believed few
human beings .would,4dveeata the necessity of beat-
ing an infant only 16 months old black and blue.—
Alderman sail, if the girl, did not pay the sum
specified to a charity, he must Certainly commit her
for trial, although he thought the indictment ,voulci
be one of an extranrcii;iary nature. The mothpr of
the girl, whose tempt; did not seem the mildest in
the World, told her daughter not to agree to the pro
positiOn made ; but the girl afterwards thou ht it
wise to pay the guinea, which was given 'fa St. Se-
pulchre's girl's school i after which 'the offendetaaa
diieliarged.
