Johannah Connor, 20 years of age, was charged with pouring some powerful acid isle the mouth of on infant only five weeks old belonging to bar master, by which its life was endangered. Mr. Edward Lapham, a master baker carrying on business at No. 457, Lower Marsh, Lambeth, deposed that on the preceding evening, about 7 o'clock, he desired the priloner, who had been in his service for about 7 weeks, to go up stain and tell her mistress that ha wished her to come down, as he wanted to speak to her, and that she was to atop with the infant until her mistreat' returned. Mrs. Lapham came down stain, and while he was in convenelion the prisoner came down stairs and said the intent was in convulsions. Mrs. Lapham, in:consequence, hurried up stairs, and found the infant crying violently, and on looking at its mouth found it much indented on one aide, and it was quite evident, from its contortions that it was suffering severely. Mrs. Lapham becoming. alarmed at the child's condition, particularly as she had observed the top part of its dreg much discoloured and burnt, called out to him, and he instantly ran up stairs first, and neat proceeded for the assistance of Mr. Sewell, a medical gentleman in the neighbourhood. Mr. Sewell being absent from home, his ss.istaut promptly attended, and on examining the mouth of the infant said that vitriol or eome lush acid had been poured into it. He applied what he eon• ccived to be necessary to counteract the effects of the acid, and while doing so he (Mr. La ham) questioned the prisoner as to how the infant could have become so injured and its clothes burnt in the manner they appeared, when she said that both had been occasioned by the candle falling out of the candlestick on to the chest of the child. This, both himself and Mr. Sewell's assistant, believed to be perfectly impossible, as the inside of the infant's mouth was much injured, and if the candle bad fallen, as she alleged, the outside of the mouth would have been ranch more seriously damaged before the inside would have become injured. Having no doubt that the prisoner had adminis, tared something improper to the child he told her he should give her into custody, and sent for • constable. The prisoner here disappearedoind after searching the house for Ler he went into the back yard, when he found her lying on the pavement with her legs and arms eatended and foaming at the mouth, and he mance concluded that the had taken poison. in consequence, called to the doctor to come to her assistence, exclaiming at the time that it was a repetition of the tragedy at Stepney. Mr. Sewell's young man attended to her, but she recovered too rapidly to leave any further auopicionof her intention to commit suicide, and she was given over to a police-constable. Mr. Elliott—Had any dispute arisen between yourself, I your wife, and the prisoner recently 1 Mr. Lapham—None whatever, sir. The prisoner, after the usual caution, was asked if she wished to say anything to the charge, and replied that the injuries were done with the candle, as she had first stated. Mr. Lapham presented before the magistrate the dress worn by the infant at the time, and it was quite apparent at a glance that the burning was caused by a strong acid, and nut by a candle.—The prisoner was remanded.
