Bigg, overseer of St. Giles's in the Fields, recollected see .ing the prisoner at the workhouse on the 7th of Juue. She watt then in a strait waistcoat, by the tireta4g with teveral others in a wait— vittoess-vroducetilfrikfter oriltiliation, which he re.. ceived from the magistrate itiMarlhoirougb-street. Mr. L-aw objected to it, 'Wit 'related not to she child in WWI ilon—it was accordingly withdrawn:: Jonethitn'l.idyer Was, at ten minute". past nine, on the 7th of June, at the'firiadurr's house.. The beadle came after him—he took the prisoner into custody. She cootintied to 'exclaim "what have I done?" Wituees took her to' the watchhouse..—ehe asked **yorel times where *as barchild?—saw ths jacket put on her. Cross-examined brAir:"Pntitare,:—When he first dame to the room where she was, there were two persons holding her by the shoulders.  John Bartlett, a bead's in St. Giles's, wu at the prisoner's house on the 7th of June; found a bloody knife on the floor; took it to the watch-house.  Samuel Furman, an officer, took the prisoner to Marlboroughstreet on '7th June. lie asked her, in the name of God, what induced her to do it. She replied, that it was done in a moment, and she was sorry for it. lie asked liar where the child was, she said that the child was sleeping in the bed, and she took it out and cut its throat" with a carving knife. She complained very much of a person narnid Bentley, and anOther who lived, opposite to her, taunting her fir having no children of her own, and also respecting her husband's infidelity. Elisabeth Clear, the mother of the murdered child, stood up, but her feelings were so overcome that she could not answer the questions put to her. She was a well-looking girl, seemingly about 20 year* old. After much difficulty she said that the pri'loner had always allowed her access to her child, and had behaved very kindly towards it. ''This-was the case for the prosecution. Ilenry Angelo, for the defence, examined by Mx. Law.— knew the prisoner for 80 years ; she bad been brought up in his family u an under nurses -maid ; she had been at one time i►t a state of derangement, and had attempted to drown herself; she had always conducted herself humanely. Cross-eximined by Mr. BARkY.-14 a fencing-nuu►ter.;, prisonar had lived 20 years in his mother's family; her present appearance was the same as when she had been deranged. Mrs. Bayley examined by Mr. Pinil.lrs,—ltemembered the prisoner being very ill for a long time, and being in a very desponding way; Prisoner on that occasion threw herself into a bath in the garden; she had been for 3 month' in a desponding state; used to mope about through the garden ; witness was *tire, prisoner had been then in a state of derangement. Dr. Bayley said that the prisoter should not be entrusted with children, on which the prisoner was accordingly sent out of her situation as nursery-maid, The Ju►y here interposed, and said that there was no occasion for calling any further evidence, as WO were satisfied. The LORD Cum, BARON said, that it was quite evident that  the mind of the prisoner was then in a disordered state; and if the Jury were of that opinion, they should acquit her of the charge of murder. . The Jury, without hesitation, Maned a verdict—Not Ouilty of Murder, as tke act was done in a moment of insanity.
