She slept in a room up stairs containing two beds, one of which she occupied, and in the other slept two female paupers. On the morning of Monday last, she became worse than she had previously been; and towards noon her illness increased, but, being supposed to be merely rheumatism, no particular notice was taken of her, and she was left alone nearly the whole of the afternoon in her sleeping room. The governess of the house was in the habit of staying up late at night, and observed, previous to going to bed, a considerable light in one of the rooms down stairs; and on asking, without opening the door, what it was for, HILTON replied, that, being unwell, and unable to sleep, she had got up and put some wood on the fire to keep her warm. The governess blamed her for wasting the wood unnecessarily, and went into the room for the purpose of taking the log from the fire; and on removing a large piece of wood or of soldered coal, she was not certain which, she discoverel the body of a child lying upon the fire, with its face downwards, and partly consumed. She took it af immediately, and the following morning the woman was placed in custody. The body was that of & mile child, of about seven months, and perfectly formed : when discovered, it was quite dead. On Wednesday the remains ;vete examined by Mr. TAYLOR and Mr. FaroNs surgeon., of Royton, who were of opinion that the child had breathed after birth. The legs, arms, and face were much burnt, the left arm and kg the worst ; the left leg WAS completely fra lured above the ankle. A very severe wound was also apparent on the upper part of the os frontis. The wound appeared to have been given by a heavy instrument, such as a poker, and there was, when the examination took place, a considerable effusion of blood from the orifice. After a lengthened investigation, the Jury brought in a verdict of " Wilful murder."---. Wakefield Journal.
