or hee illegitimee child, and Mani Thomson Was in-
dicted as an accessary in the murder. The prisoner
was acquitted of the murder, bit; found g&lityot con-
cealing the birth, which subjects her to 12 months'
imprisonment.
Serah Groat was also indicted for the wilful murder
of her female bastard child. There was no evidence
that the child was born alive. It was proved that
baby linen was prepared.
Baron Gatettow humanely summed rp the evidence
for an acquittal : he observed there was no secret
burial of the child, but all the contrary, eee prisoner
had told where the chid was. The Jury of Middle-
sex, in the exerc;se of sound disci etion, had not found
a bill against the prisoner; and it aepeared from the
depositions before him (Bar'.n C;attitew) that there
WAS. no inundation IA- the Coroner's verdict (-4 crijul

Mary Ly,ns was indicted for breaking and entering
the dwelling house of Jane Towrell, and stealing 21.
yards of satin, her property. It appeared that the
article in question had been paw Red at Mr. Ma.
thews's, in the Minories, aud the prisoner sent the
duplicate to a Mr. Hyams to redeem it, saying, at
the same time, that she received it from her husband.
The pawnbroker's shopman proved that the satin
had been pledged by a man, and net by the priso-
ner. The Jury acquitted the prisoner; and the Court
strongly reprobated the conduct of the Magistrate
seri° committed on a charge for which there did not'
appear to be the slightest foundation, and thereby
d'prived of a mother's protection a family of five
children, two of them deaf and dumb.
