NEJUDICIF.—On Tuesday rnornini, last, Mrs. Lara, China•clealer, in Oxford-street, sent her son to pay 15s. to a person in the City, but the Genttem in to whom the money was due, being from home, the boy repaired to Bartholomew Fair, and soon spent the money, in the dissipations of that place. On his return home, his mother questioned him as to the disposal of the money, but he refused to satisfy her ; on which she ordered an elder brother to lock him up in a room, when he vociferated " Murder !" on which a numerous mob assembled, and several persons gave it out that Mrs. Lara had been cruelly treating her servant girl. The populace increased to so great a degree that it was deemed necessary to apply- for magisterial assistance, and police officers were sent for her piotection, who continued there till a late hour last night, as a numerous crowd continued to collect, although so far from the reran being founded in fact, Mrs. Lara does not actually keep any female servant.

The prisoner attacked the prosecutor in the square of Somerset House, and learnt that Eis object was to receive his prize money, amounting to ;VB. 6s. he having obtained all the ne. cessary documents from Greenwich, when he enticed him away to a house in the neighbourhood, and pre. veiled on him to sign a pager, which there is every reason to believe was a power of attorney, and desired him to call again. When be did so, he only offered him £2 for the amount, which Owen refused to take, and, alter some difficulty. obtained his Greenwich certificate back.

Francis Kinnersley, one of the otticers of the parish of St. Botolph, Aldgate, deposed, that on the evening of the Bth of last month, a fine maleinfant, apparently six weeks old,- was discovered wrapped up, and abandoned beneath the gateway of Mr. Binningham, of Aldgate High-street. No trace whatever could be obtained of the inhuman party that had left it there, and it was conveyed to the workhouse.

Upon this representation the child was delivered to the arms of its supposed parent. A few days !since, however, the officer already named, having recognised the prisoner begging through the streets, with the child. and the latter' presenting a ft ightful appearance, contrasted to that which it wine when given to her a month since, he felt it his duty to take her into custody. Soots after it was learnt, that the prisoner was not the mother of the child, and it was, in consequence, taken from her, and placed under medical hands in the workhouse, while she was kept in the Conipter. Every attention was paid to the case of the wretched infant, but in vain, and it expired in a few days. A certificate from the physician to the workhouse, stating that the death of the child was occasioned by gross neglect and starvation, was handed to the
