TREE T. Bridget Cabin, the young woman suspected of the wilful murder of a little girl five years old, named Margaret Duffy, was examined yesterday before Mr. TWYFORD ; and a man named Cattle, a noted resurrection-man, who had also been apprehended on suspicion, was placed at the bar with her. The body of the child, who is supposed to have been " Burled," was found in a privy common to all the iehebitants of a court in Golden-lane, several hours after she had been missing from her home in Broadarrow-court, Milton-street, as stated in the Times of yesterdal, end nothing can exceed the excitement which the oecurrenee has occasioned throughout the district. The prisoners were brought from the police-station in Bunhillrow, in a hackney-coach, guarded by a strong body of the police, and followed with most appalling yells by an immense moil, hundreds of whom hod no doubt been witnesses ,i:pa emr,cits or, .ro Dixon, shortlyetrl lre‘, Dixon, e superintendentfnfo,drl exitbefore, in o thef produced tohe: ofd mn Bailey.op number dbi r ,r so attended Bishopw i the...aweild: i iNuN.:hni l 0 -proved the facts already stated in the Times. The prisoner, Who lived next door to the parents, was seen in the court about half-past five on Saturday evening, with the child, whom she had called out of doors in order to give her a penny to divide between her and her brother. The child could not afterwards be found, and shortly before nine the prisoner, who denied all knowledge of her absence, when qeteetioned by the parents, was charged with stealing her, while that charge was under inquiry at the police station, the corpse of the deceased was taken there, having been found in the place above mentioned. A girl, who lived in the court, had trodden upon the corpse on entering the place in the dark. She screamed out and ran away, and her brother was approaching the place with a candle, when a man ran against Lim and pat out the light and made off. Mr. Dixon stated that the prison Calkin, when brought to the station, before the body was discovered, declared that site left the child in the Court where they lived, and never saw bee again, and she accounted for the disposal of her time by saying that she went to a person whom she mentioned in Rotten-row, Old-street, and remained there till about seven, after which she walked about for upwards of an hour, and was part of the time in company with one of the nurses of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, name,' Bryant. Upon inquiry, both these statements were denied, and at the hospital it was stated by the nurse herself, and the sister of her ward, that she had not been ont of the place all that day, nor seen the prisoner for two days previously. Mrs. Bryant, the nurse, now stated that she knew the prisoner, but did not see her on Saturday as she asserted. A respectable-looking man, named Bailey, now came forward, sand deposed that he was passing through the court on Saturday evening, and saw the prisoner Calkin come from.;lae privy where the deceased was afterwards die. ,overed Jt was somewhere about eight o'clock when he saw Hers Mr. TWIrrOAD asked him if he ws, certain it was the  prisoner ? He said he had riu doubt of it. He could not be mistaken, as be bad knows her for a length of time. A female named Jennings also came forward, an,d stated, that between seven and eight o'clock she saw the pr.:boner and the little girl about 100 yards from that spot. The female ptitoner made a statement of some length, to the effect that she frequently took the child out, and admitted that she saw her in their court as stated by the witnesses, and gave her a penny. She did not take her away from the place, but left her there, and never saw her ,gain until she saw the corpse at the police station. She herself went to Rotten-row, Old-street, and afterwards went towards Whitechapel and walked about, and during that time met with Nurse Bryant. The nurse came forward again, and expressed her astonishment at this statement, which she flatly contradicted The prisoner Cattle is known to be a resurrection-man, and lives close to the spot where the body was found. A man was stated to have run from the privy, and he was  taken on suspicion. The little boy said that the man who knocked out his light was not the prisoner Cattle, and there being no evilence against the latter he was discharged. The prisoner Calkin was remanded to :Await the decision of the Coroner's inquest.
