MURDER IN MARYLEBONIL—Yesterday Dr. Lankester held an inquiry at the St. Marylebone Workhouse touching the death of two children whose bodies had been found in the West after baying been murdered. The first case was that of a newly born child found dead in Albert-road, near Avenue-road, Regent'spark. The body was discovered by a labouring man between 7an 8 o'clock in the morning. It was wrapped up in • parcel and on the attention of a policeman being directed to it ha caused it to be conveyed to the workhouse. Mr. Fuller, the medical officer, said the child died a violent death by suffocation. The cord had been cut. The second case was that of a newly born female child found dead under the area railings of 37, Devonshire-Area, Portlandplace. In this case too it was shown {that the life of the child had been violently destroyed before it was thrown into the street. The jury returned as their verdict that both children bad died of strangulation—a verdict of wilful murder in fact against some person or persons unknown. The coroner said cases of child murder were increasing to • fearful extent, especially in that part of London, the ordinary plan being to 'wrap the dead child up in a parcel, and then drop it at the first convenient spot which presented itself. The police treated these cases in a very off-hand manner, and generally speaking, walked away from a dead child as they would from • dead cat. The crime of infanticide was increasing to • fearful extent ; indeed, be might almost say that it was becoming a fashionable institution. For Thursday next be had a case of a child murdered after it bad lived four days ,• and for the 30th be had ao adjourned inquest on a child found in the first-class waiting room of the Great Western Railway. Nothing was easier than for ladies even to have children born, and then to have them wrapped up and left in the park or in the street, so that nobody could by any possibility get at the parents. He really thought there might be some sharper looking after these people on the part of the police. 3lr. J. J. Tebbe, the assistant overseer, said he would being the facts under the notice of the board of guardians, who were mestylesirousof Catlin every possible means of putting • stop to the system of infanticide, which was so alarmingly prevalent in the pariah of St. Marylebone. A reward of 501. has bee, offered for the perpetrator of the crime ie either of the above cases.
