POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MA FILBOROUGH.STREET. •
Saturday, aints; Brousne,.the woman in custody aspen a charge of
having murdered the illegitimate child of her husband by another
woman, by cutting its head nearly off with a carving knife, was
brought before Mr. Drza, the sitting Magistrate, for Anal exam
nation. It will have been recollected, that the Coroner's Jury',
which sat on the body of the child, returned a verdict of wilful
murder against .the prisoner; but the Magistrate, deeming it his
duty to investigate the case, independent of the Coroner's Inquisi.
don, had the prisoner brought before him for that purpose.
All the witnesses who were examined before the Coroner attended
atthis office on Saturday, and gave the same evidence as they did on
the former occasion. The only difference between the depositions
as taken down at the inquest, and those taken down by the clerk on
this occasion, was, that in the evidence given before the Coroner,
the name of the deceased child was given as Hannah Browne,
whereas her real name was Elizabeth Browne.

. :.

The prisoner being placed at the bar, the whole of the depositions
were read over to her, to which she appeared to pay a calm and re-
spectful attention. She said not a word on the subject of the
charge against her, and she was fully committed to Newgate to
take her trial for the murder. The prisoner, who was allowed a
seat for the most part while she was at the bar, is about 60 years of
age, slight in person, and low in stature; her face is thin, and a.
good deal farrowed with age • her mouth and lips are very large
and projecting; she has rather a mild than an angry ,expression of
countenance, and nothing bordering en the ferocious or cruel; she
seemed quite collected and composed while at the bar, except that
occasionally her face became very much flushed; she conversed
very calmly with a respectable-looking female, who stood near her,
against the bar; and the only thing that appeared to agitate her was
the presence of her husband, Charles Browne. This young man,
'who seems to be about ItS years of age, and to all appearance might
with ease be the grandson of the prisoner, approached her several
times at the bar, and clang round her neck, in which position they
continued for some time kissing each other.
_ . _

The prisoner, on Wog removed from the bar, was placed in the
strong room of the office until the hour arrived for conveying her
to Newgate. The crowd in the office, and in all the approaches to
it,was excessive during the day, of persons anxious to get a sight of
the prisoner. The great majority of those curious persons consisted
of females, all of whom, with scarcely any exception, had children in
their arms.
