MIDDLESEX SASSIONS, FEB. 19.

J. Tubs, and Redeem, his wife, were indicted, at
the suit of the parish of St. Pancra4, fur inhumanity,
and cruelty to their children. The evidence upon the
trial, however, only went to affect the conduct of the
female prisoner, against whom it appeared, that she
had frequently exposed two of her children to the in-
clemency of tile winter, without fuod or raiment ; and
that on one occasion, she nearly strangled them with
a leathern strap, to prevent their doleful cries, when
exposed to her unnatural barbarit;es. The Jury ac-
quitted the husband, but found the wife Guilty ; when
the Court sentenced her to sir months imprisonment
in the house of Correction.
William Waitman was indicted for a gross misde-
meanour, in indecently exposing his person to Rebecca,
the wife of R. Hicks ; and also for an outrageous as•
sank upon her husband, on the Bth of October last.
The defendant had been a troublesome lodger in the
house of the prosecutors, and, on the night previous
to the day mentioned in the indictment, he had been
'remonstrated with by his landlord, for the noise he
then made in the house, to the great disturbance of
the rest of the inmates. Next morning, during the
absence of Mr. Hicks, he committed the outrageous
offence imputed to him iu the indictment, and accom-
panied his actions by the most brutal and unmanly
expressions that a ruffianly mind could conceive ;
and, in the evening, without any previous provocati.in,
he knocked the husband down, in his own parlour.—
The Jury found him Guilty of both offences, and sen-
tenced him to two months imprisonment for the first,
and one fur the second.

Mr. B. IVALsm.—Much interest was yesterday Ca-
ched from an opinion which had gone forth that the
Judges wauld have given judgment on this gentle.
man's case. at the Old Bailey. Their Lordships,
however, did not mention the subject, and we under-
stand, it is not their intention to give any opinion du-
'ring the present Sessions.
FREDERICK KELNER.—The mystery which hung
about this young man's sudden disappearance in a
wounded state five weeks since, from the Post Office,
was on Monday last cleared up, by the body of the
unfortunate youth being found floating on the surface
of Poplar Cut. The body was conveyed to the nearest
public-house, and a Coroner's Jury impannelled from
among the Clerks of the Post Office, who returned
their verdict—Lunacy.
During the alarm arising from the late horrid mur-
ders and numerous robberies, a lady, residing on the
south side of Lincoln-Inn-fields, employed workmen
to make her house particularly secure ; and on the
night of the day when they had completed their job,
her house was broken open and robbed. but the fact
was not discovered till the servants,got up in the ,
morning, when it was ascertained'that it had been ac-
complished by splitting the iron plate of the coal-cel-
lar. A boy is supposed to have been put down into
the cellar, aad to have let the rubbers in. They car-
ried off plate, which had been used on the preceding
night, to the amount of £lOO, and other property.
