CARLOV4 APRIL +—At our Affixes, a cafe
fingularly interelling was tried before Lord Nos-
•URY, which excited fenfations of horror and dill
gull in every perfon who was preterit.
Mr. Battatao-rox, leading Counfel for the pro.
fccutioni Rated, that Marti Doyle flood inditted'
for an offence of the molt barbarous defcription,
that of procuring infant children from the Found-
ling Hofpital, under falfe pretences, as a nurfe ;
robbing them of the covering which they received
from the bounty of the inflitution ; then nutting
the unfortunate infant, to render its miferabk ap-
pearance an objet to excite compaflion ; and,
when famine and nakednefs had reduced it to the
IA extremity, felling it to forme perfon who would
carry it to town for the quarter's wages of 11. ss.
and leaving it afterwards to perifh.
The profecution had been carried on by direc.
tion of thofe whofe benevolence and charity had
induced them to fuperintend the arrangement of
the Foundling Hofpital
Mr. William Lindfay, refident Apothecary to
the Hofpital, proved that the prifoner, under the
alfamed name of Margaret Coffins, had, under a
recommendation from the Rev. Mr.MtNcil, pro.
cured, as a nurfe from the Foundling Hofpital, in
November 1799, a male infant of the name of
Michael Slain ; and in December following ano-
ther child of the name of John Ball, about three
months old; that the got eloaths with each of
them, and five (billings travelling expences.
The Rev. Mr. M'Ncil proved that the procured
the recommendation by falfe pretences, and that
her real name was Mary Doyle; that difcovering
the deception, he had her apprehended, upon
which the acknoseledged the fat of her felling John
Ball, one of the children, for 3s. 90.
Anne Vignes proved, that in ember, :799,
the partner came to her bode with a child, which
the Paid w.cs her own; that the Raid a few days
411 d won away; that the returned again in about
a month with another child, which the raid wasa
AwifiNne, that the bad got at the Foundling Hof-
pita), and it was called John Ball, 'about four
stelth% old; ah,n witnefs law the child it was
naked, and nothing but (kin and bone, being near-
ly dead with famine and cold; that prifoner told
her the had got two fuits of rloaths and a yard of
diaper from the Hofpital with it, and a crows for
travelling espences; that (he had fold the doaths!
and begged about with the child, nearly naked;'
it appeared to witnefs almoß dead with hunger,,
and tiled to cry all night for want of food;
wit-
nefs did to give it force food the had for her own
child, to preferve its lifc; witnefs frequently de-
fired the prifoner not to take the infant out in the
cold or it would certainly die, to which the pri.-
furter replied, " the Deeil's cure to it!" In .a-four,
days, prifoner laid that the would fell it, and try
to get another fmns the Hofpital, and offered the
child for 3 crown, which nobody would give, at
length wittiefi thinking the infant would die with

hanger and cold if the prifoner took it awyy, gave
her 3s. sAd. for the child; and on Mr. MaNeiPs
coming home, acquainted him with the tranfac-
tian, who procured it cloaths. The prifoner in-
formed witnefs that the had got another infant be-
fore, but that the had not milk for that child and
her own, and that they both died for want. The
pi ifoner told witnefs that the had alfo procured
another infant from the Foundling Hofpital of the
name of Michael Slain, that her fifer went to
Dublin with her to help her to carry it, that the
and her fitter quarrelled ova the road, and laid the
infant down on the fnow ; that it died with cold,
and that they buried it in a church-yard, and the
prifoner fold its cloaths. Witnefs then produced
a badge which prifoner had left behind her in wit-
nefs's-houfe, which appeared to be the Holpital
b.idge of the child Michael Slain, which had fo
died on the road through cold. Witnefs laid the
prifoner was a woman of infamous charailer, and
had no fixed place of abode. Witnefs took John
Ball to prevent its dying with famine, and weaned
her own child tb enable her to nurfe it. The in-
fant John Ball had died alfo. Witnefs Rated the
blue marks and numbers impreffed on the child's-
arts at the Hofpital.
Mr. Lindfay, who was again called, identified
theft marks, which were entered in a book kept
in the Hofpital for that purpofe, and which ex-
adly correfpondcd with the badge which was
produced.
The prifoner evinced the molt hardened and
impudent demeanor during the trial, but did not
call any witnefs.
Lord NoREJRY much lamented that the ell-.
cumflances dated could not fully fupport an in-
diament for murder againfl a wretch who was
clearly guilty of the mat barrsarous and inhuman
condstaliehad ever heard' of : The offence he was
fbrey could only be laid at a ntifilemeanour, as
of her guilt there could be no doubt. The
Jury intlatitly fbund her guilty ; and Lord Not:-
Dray fentenced her to hod' three times in the
pillory, and a year's imprifonment;, and direaed
that the tliould be prefented by the Grand Pry
at a vagabond, fo as to have her tranfported for,
life.
Extrael of a Letter from Naas, April g.
" The whole of yetterday was occupied in the trial
of three women and a lad, for the murder of a
poor protefiant woman near Athy, on the 24th of
May, 1'798. They were clearly conviEled, and
will be executed in the morning."

We find that the indefatigable managers of the
Royal Circus, St. George's-fields, in addition to the
popular and elegant fpeflacle of Rinakfitii, and the
charming Pantomime of the Magic Pau, have
taken the earlieft opportunity of teftifying .their
zeal and public (pint, by bringing out on Monday
next an entire new National Speftacle (comme-
morating our late naval atchievement) called Vie
Northern Fled, or Brit Intrepidity triumphant.
it is an adage no left trite than true, that merit
and fterling genius may (for a time) be hid in oh-
feurity, but eventually (like the Sun from behind
a cloud) will thine forth with fplendid luftre ; fo'
our correfpondent obferves as to Dr. GAILDtIER'S
comprehenfive talents and philanthropy ; and the
wonderful cures he has performed both in Scotland
and Ireland, eftabliflied by incontrovertible cer-
tificates, will render him an admired Member of
Society.

The Rev. T. Galt*, of Middleton Cheney,
Northamptonthire, in a letter of the 13th inftant,
has communicated to B. 1). Pretties, A. M. of
Leicefter-fqttare, London, the Patentee of the
Metallic Traitors, the refult of a long courfe of
Experiments with thofe Inftruments.—Mr. Gaels
con'imenced under unfavourable impreffions, from
their fimple appearance, but on their merits con-
cludes in thefe words :
" I confider the Metallic Traitors an invaluable
acquifition to every family, and with their eaten-
fion through every part of the world. I have no
doUbt, notwitliflanding the oppofition they may
meet with from interefted men, but future times
will venerate the name of the Difcoverer."
Among the many important cures Mr. GREEN
adduces, are four of fthenmatifm, including h
I.nmbago, tyro Chilblains, a Sprain, a Cantonal',
and a Tiothach; alto is mentioned the removal of
a large Tumour upon a hmfe, atiling from a kick.
Mr. Gaeta defcribes the following aka upon his
own perfon
s, In the month of November left, I received a
violent blow on my unlit, which caufed a con-
fidcrable fwelling, attended with great pain. By
the ate of the Traitors once the fwelling and pain
entirely fubftded during the 'application, and no
remains of the blow were to be ken, but a little
rednefs on the &in, which loon alfo difappeared."
The Cures of Cunt, Rtwurnatifm' Head-aeh, Tooth-ach,
Sprain., Bruifcs, an all analogous Difcafes of Harts which are
puldifbed, are hmungerable.
