HORRIBLE MURDER OF A CHILD BY A JEWESS, AND BURNING OF THE .BODY. On Saturday the utmost excitement prevailed among the inhabitants of St. George's, London, In conseqnence of the discovery of a most horrible murder at No 32, Cable Street, Wel'close Square, by a Jewess named Sarah Lipman, aged thirty years, a widow, who, after delivering herself of an infant, destroyed the principal part of the body by cutting it up and consuming the limbs and trunk by burning them on the fire. It appears that the female Lipman occupied the shop and lower part of the house, which was used for the sale of second-hand clothing. She was a widow, but had three children. For some time past the neighbours had observed her being enciente, but were not aware that she was near her confinement. Shortly after ten o'clock on Friday night the servant (Bridget Toomey) went into the back room, where her mistress had been for nearly an hour, and. was much alarmed at finding a quantify of blood on the floor, but at that time she wile not acquainted with the cause. The fire had just gone out, but the stove and coals were still heated, and when she , stooped to rake out the cinders, she was horrified at finding the hand of a child blackened and burnt to a charred mass: Lipman jumped from a chair and made the servant drop the hand, which fell among the ashes in the fender, and seizing her by the arm, told her that what she had seen she must keep to herself and never disclose what had taken place. She also told her that she would make her a present of half a sovereign if she would clean the place up, and keep the affair a secret. Toomey, however, rushed from the room, and ran into the street, where.she made known the facts of the horrible affair, when Sergeant Forty of the H division entered the house, and, upon going into the back room, he discovered the woman Lipman seated in a chair, with her dress saturated with blood, and the apartment also covered with spots of gore. The officer at once made a search, and found the head of an infant quite warm, with a portion of the neck attached, and bleeding He raked about, but could not discover any other portions of the body. A knife was found in the room in a drawer, and, from its appearance, there was no doubt of the body having been out up before it was placed on the fire. Serjeant Foay having obtained aasistance a cart wan procured, in which the wretched woman was placed, evidently much exhausted; but after being laid in the vehicle she was conveyed to the Loman Street Police-station, whereinto she was carried by the officers, and immediately attended to by Mr. Ryan, the surgeon, and other medical gentlemen in the neighbourhood, who rendered every assistance. After she was seen by the surgeon's, she was charged with the murder of an infant, sex unknown, and with concealing the birth. She was in a very weak state, and after the depositions of the servant and other persons were taken down by the inspector, Lipman was again put into the cart and removed to St. George's workhouse, Old Gravel Lane, St. George's-in-the-East, where the parochial surgeon attended to her, and she was placed under the charge of a nurse. A police constable was in attendance to watch her, and last evening she was progressing favourably. 'lr. William Baker, jun., the coroner for the Tower ,*ty, has received information of the case.
