THE TRADES' UNIONIST MURDERS AT ASHTON . APPSEHEXSION OF ANOTHER OP THE MURDERERS . Manchester , Saturday . The two atrociona murders which ware perpetrated hy members of the Bairyears' Union , at Ashton > under lyne , —one on tne gist of October , and the other on the 6 th of September last , —have led to the most determined and persevering efforts on behalf of tbe police of that township and Manchester , for the apprehenjion of the parties implicated , and no leu than tea of tbe unionists have at different timei been brought before the magistrates and committed to the Assizes for the part they bad taken in tha commission of the
lastnamed murder , but the principal ! engaged in tbe first murder , that of Garland , succeeded in eluding tbe hand * of justice till this week , when one of them was captured in . Dublin . For four months this man , whose name is Thomas Holland , successfully baffled Vbe efforts of the police to take him , though tkey repeatedly obtained information conoeroing him , and Superintendents Alcock and Green , of the Manchester police , under the instructions of Sir Charles Shaw , have traversed no less than sixteen English counties in search of him , besides part of South Wales and Ireland . He was brought np for examination before two of the county magis trates at Ashtou , this day , when the following partic&l&rs relative to the murder , and the part the prisoner h&d taken in its perpetration , were elicited : —
Superintendent Alcock stated that on the 31 st of October , about five o ' clock , five sawyers , who were called " knobsticks , " or " rats , " were on their way from work at Manchester , when they w ere attacked by a body of twelve or fifteen unionists , and dreadfully beaten . One « f them , whose name was Thos . Garland , was beaten and wounded with some sharp instrument in such a manner as to occasion his death , and an inquest was afterwards held on view ef the body &t the -Manchester Infirmary , - when a verdict of " Wilful Murder" was returned against Thomas Grimes , Thomas Roberts , and othtrs . Repeated efforts were made , under the direction of Sir Charles Shaw , to trace the murderers , between that time and the 6 th of December , when the murder of Benjamin Co » per , a sawyer , who was sh » t wnilst at work , led to more determined efforts , and the- disclosures made by some ot the witnesses against tbe -unionists engaged in this Becond murdut led to the knowledge toat the prisoner Holland was
concerned in tbe murder of Garland , and after following him into Yorkshire , and from thence te some of the iron mines in South Wales , where he elnded their search , they lost sight of him for some time , till at length he was again traced into Yorkshire , and from thence to Dublin , where he was at length apprehended at one of ihe quays . He also begged to state that int his enquiries after the prisoner he had Been a grea nuiul > er of master sawyera , from whom he learnt that the trades' onions were very generally spread ovtr Eogland , Wales , and Ireland , and the combination of these unions with each other was such as to cause a general dread amongst employers , both for their lives and property , if they did not aocede to all tbe demands of their workmen , threats being constantly held out to them that unless they complied men would be brought from a distance to icflict vengeance upon them , and those who might accept work at reduced wages , as had been the case in this neighbourhood .
Michael Hemp , a sawyer , was then called and stated that he formerly belonged to the Sawyers' Union , and that he came over from Salford to Abhton on the 31 st of October last , to Took for work . He was met by a man -who called himself an operative sawyer as he came out of Heginbottam ' s Yard that day , where be had been fur work , and asked his business . The man was very angry with him , and told him he had no right to go for ¦ work there without seeing the men belonging to ihe Union- "Witness afterwards accompanied this man to the Union clnb-hosse , the King ' s Head , where he saw & great number of sa-spyera , and among them he saw the prisoner , Thomas Holland . They said they expected s jme delegates from Manchester and Oldhara , who were coming over to induce the knobsticks to
leave the town . The sawyers vrhom witness met there were vtry cross with him at first , and said he had better go back to Manchester , tot there was no work there , and " some of those who were working there should not do it long . " Two men came to the club-house while he was there , from Manchester ; this was about noon . Witness -went there again about four in the afternoon , and Ihe prisoner Holland was there then . Witness did heir something said about a number of unionists going to way-lay the knobsticks on their way from work along the Manchester road . It tras talked about and generally understood amongst the
sairytrs at the club-bouse . The prisoner was among those talking about it , and seemed to be acting with thsm . There was a great deal said in whispers . A person named Grimes was there , and another named Roberts . Grimta brought something like a table leg ¦ Wi th him Under his coat , and witness heard him say " he would make some of the b rs dance a Donnybrook jig with that before morning . " One of the unionists blamed him for shewing it , and said he bad no business to produce such a thing in a public room . Witness saw Grimes next day , aad was tht-n told by him— " We have done some of them their job last uigbL "
Patrick Keough said he -was a sawyer , and lived in Ashton now . On the 31 st October he was living in Manchester , and about a quarter before five o ' clock , when it was getting dusk , ltft work in Ashton , along with bis sou , Jam < -s Keoujjh , and Jobn Harney , the deceased , Thomas Gitrland , and Patrick KeougU . When they had proceeded a little way an the ro&d , a number of men sprung from behind a cart , which was coming the opposite way , and witness was knocked down , and severely beaten with tticks Tbere were about twclvu or fifteen men of the party that attacked them . When witness got up , he found Garland and his other companions lying in the road , and their assailants had run off , leaving them , as witness supposed , for dead . They
went across the moor . AU the party were much hurt , and bled prufosely , but Garland was the worst , and they supported him to a cottage ntar , to crave some water , but could not get any , and they afterwards took him to a public-house , and gave him some bter . The blood teemed from him as he went alon ? . They after wards took him to the Manchester Infirmary the same night . Garland had with him , when he left Asbton , a rod of iron , sharp at both ends , called a pricier . It was neaTly a yard long , and was in a bag . He hail neither the bag nor the pricker after they were left by their assailant * . The prisoner and Grimes were among the men who attacked them . Witness never saw Garland af ter that night till his death .
Patrick Keough , son of the last witness , was with Garland and his father on the night of the 31 st of October , when they were attacked by a number of men on the road to Manchester . He was knocked down , and beaten severely . He saw the prisoner among those who attacked them . He assisted Garland afterwards , though very weak himself . Garland was in a very shocking state—he " was quite masbed up . " John Harney , of Manchester , Bawyer , said he was one of the party attacked on the way to Manchester , by the Unionists . He saw them spring from behind
the cart , and said to his companion , "Here they are , boys—dow we ' re in for it' He was struck down on his hands and knees in the ditch Witness saw the prisoner Holland there , and saw him strike Garland ( the murdered man ) with an iron instrument like that produced . He struck at Garland ' s head with it , and witness saw Garland , who -was on the ground , put up his hands to ward off the blows . Garland cried " Murder . " Witness did not see Garland after , because ho did not go on to Manchester , but rau back to Ashton .
Thomas Radnty , a labourer , living at Ashton , stated that on the evening of Saturday , the 31 st of October , he ha < l been working on Ashton Moor , and was returning home along the Manchester road , about five o ' clock , -when he heard a cry of " murder" behind him . It appeared to proceed from some one about fifteen yards from him . He turned round , and saw one man on his hands and knees in the ditch , and another was down in the middle of the road . A great numbt * of men , he thought at least a dozen , were striking at those who were down . Tfee man who was down in the middle of
the road rose up , and ran to the side of the road , when one of his assailants gathered np a stone and threw at him . Gould not say whether tbe stone hit him , but he felL The men who appeared to have been the assailants then ran off in bodies of three or four , in different directions , but chiefly across the moor towards Droylsden . There were two or three carters passing with their carls during the attack , and one of \ h- m picked up an iron instrument like a sawyer ' s pricker , ac < t carried it off with him . Witness also picked np a pricier out of the channel afterwards , and tbe iron instrument now produced was the same .
Mr . W . Furnival , boose surgeen to the Manchester Royal Infirmary , examined—Recollected the deceased , Thomas Garland , being bronght to the Manchester Infirmary , on the 31 st of October , and admitted a patient . Made an examination of his ¦ wounds that evening . Ho had several severe bruises and lacerations of tbe scalp , The upper part of his noBe was fractured in several places , and he had also suffered a compound fracture of the fore finger of his right hand . The right hand and several parts of his body were mach bruised . The lacerations and bruises might all have been caused by the iron instrument predaced . Witness advised immediate amputation of the finger , bnt Garland weald net consent . Mortification ensued , which brought on lock-jaw , and ultimately caused death . Witness bad made an examination of deceased ' s body after death , and could trace the cause of death to nothing else but the wounds on bis body inflicted on the 3 lit of October .
RicharJ Green , superintendent in the Manchester police , stated that , in consequence of repeated directions from Sir Charles Shaw , he had gone in search of the prisoner , and had tawed Mm at different times to Yorkshire , Shropshire , Wales , Fleetwood-on-Wyre , and ultimately took him in Dublin . This concluded tbe examination , and the prisoner , declining to say anything in his defence , was committed for trial , at the Liverpool Assizes , for the mnrder of Thomas Garland . Another prisoner was then placed at the bar named Thomas Hass&L There was no evidence to shew that he was engaged in tbe actual murder , but it was shewn that he was one of the unionists engaged in plotting the attack , and he was committed to the assizes on the charge of conspiracy .

Robert Holland , father of Thomas Holland , who had been apprehended on a warrant for conspiracy was also committed . The next prisoner placed at the bar was Edward Marshall , a sawyer , against whom Sir Charles Shaw said there wonld be no erldence offered . His apprehension was entirely Mb own fault , and bad Veen brought od through bis attempts to defeat tbe ends of justice . Green had been sent to Fleetwood-on-Wyre to see who would obtain a letter sent there for one of the murderers , and while Green was there , Marshall , who was a unionist , went to the Post-office , and representing himself to be the party for whom the letter was addressed , obtained possession of it Green supposed that he was the party and took him into custody .
The magistrages told Marshall he was discharged as connected with this offence , bat it would be for the Post-office authorities to consider whether he ought not to be prosecuted for obtaining a letter by means of false representations . i ^ ^ <> '
NEW POOR LAW AND THE RURAL POLICE , A public meeting of the inhabitants of Rochdale was held in the Butts , * vacant plot of ground near the centre of the town , on Saturday week , at five o ' clock in the evening , tS petition Parliament against the Poor Law Continuance BUI , and for a total repeal of the Poor Law Amendment Act ; and also to petition the magistrates assembled ia General Quarter Sessions , to be holden at Preston , on the 10 th day of April next , to rescind the order for introducing the constabulary force into this county . Large placards , announcing the meeting , made their appearance on the walls of tbe town early in the week .
At the usual weekly meeting of the Chartists , the subject was brought under consideration , tbe parties getting np tne meeting having fully ascertained that it - was the wish of a portion of the members present that a resolution for the Charter should be proposed at tbe meeting ; but a resolution to the contrary was ultimately agreed to , advising them , however , to attend , and put one of their own friends in tbe chair . The originators of the meeting were the middle-class tradesmen ami shopkeepers , Whig , Tory , and Radical , composing the select vestries of the various townvbips . Tllfi pooro' rates have become so eaccessiTelj- heavy , in consequence of the introduction ot a useless , dangerous , and expensive police force into our peaceful district , that it is become exceedingly difficult to collect from an impoverished people the exorbitant rate required to support them .
At the appointed time to take the chair , from twelve to fifteen hun-ired were present , chitfly of the working classes , and consequently Chartists . The persons intending to take part in the proceedings ascended the waggon , the place appropriated to the speakers ; amongst whom were Mr . T . Holden , Mr . T . Wilkinson , and a few of their Tory friends j John Bright , Esq ., Mr . W . W . Barton , and other Liberals ; and Mr . James Taylor , late M . C , Mr . Thoniaa Livesey , Mr . James Sharp , aad a few working men , Chartists . Mr . Barton came forward to propose that John Roby , Esq ., take the chair . It may here be well to remind our readers that this is the Mr . Ruby who has acquired so much unenviable notoriety by his treasonable speech delivered at the Ashton Conservative dinner , which , if had been uttered by a poor Chartist , instead of a wealthy banker , he would doubtless have been safely located on the felons ' side of one of our county gaols .
. The Chartists , however , were not the men to suffer Mr . Roby to preside over a meeting of their own order , after the unmerited abuse and slanderous attacks so repeatedly made by that gentleman upon them . A working man moved an amendment , which was seconded by a number of voices , that Charles Howarth , a working man , take tbe chair . ' Mr . BaRTON put the amendment , as usual , first , when a forest of blistered hands were held up in the air . The motion followed , and exactly two were wishful for Mr . Roby to preside .
Mr . Howahih was handed forward Into the waj-gon , and opened the proceedings by reading the placard calling the meeting , and observed , he was proud to witness them assembled together once more , to assert their detestation and abhorrence of the New Poor Law , and the rural police . He congratulated them upon h . iTing obtained the co-operation of a portion of the higher order , and regretted that they had not come forward at a time when their efforts might really have been effectual . It was not the first
time they ( the working classes ) had met to petition for the repeal of the New Poor Law . Those petitions had been laughed at and disregarded . It was a disgrace U the leading men of the nation to allow the necessity of a poor law at all , whilst fifteen millions of acres of land remained uncultivated . He should not detain them further with any remarks of his own , and hoped , as they bad elected him to tbe chair , they would be atuutive , and give to every gentleman , a just aud impartial hearing . Mr . Holden rose to propose the first resolution : —
" That it is the opinion of this meeting that the Poor Law Amendment Act is based upon wrong principles ; that it is highly unconstitutional , injurious , ami oppressive , both to the rate-payers who ate compelled from want to apply to the parish for relief , more particularly as regards the extraordinary and unprecedented powers given to the Commissioners , to carry the above obnoxious law into effect ; and this meeting pledges itself to use every legal and constitutional means to oppose Buch Act . " He hoped tUe meeting would give him credit for sincerity , when he told them he had come twelve miles that day , to the neglect of his business , to be present upuu the occasion . He regretted the wealthy and ihtiaential should absent tht-mselves upon so important
a question &s the one now before them ; it was whether or not the aged aud defenceless poor had a right to a subsistence ia the Lad of their nativity . It had been said by tbe advocates of this Bill , that it worked well in the agricultural district * ; he had been informed by Ihe best and most competent authority , no less than the Loid of the Manor himself , who had recently been in Kent , that he had found , on inquiry , this law had been the means of reducing the wages of the labourer . Notwithstanding the palpable misrepresentations of certain parties in high quarters , hoart-burnings and discontent prevailed , and its entire abolition was sought for ; he concluded a short and energetic address with protesting against the unprecedented powers of the Commissioners .
Mr . F . Wilkinson seconded the resolution , which being put . was carried unanimously . Mr . Barton proposed the second resolution : " That it is the opinion of this meeting , that the county constabulary force is useless , expensive , aud dangerous , and is more calculated to disturb the peace of thu country , than protect its inhabitants—that the expence of supporting such an establishrueat ia so enormous , that it must eventually fall back upon the property in lands and houses , and vt-ry much depreciate their value—that it is foreign to the feelings of Englishmen , and threatens to annihilate every vestige of civil liberty by introducing a power over which they have no controul , and which , if persevered iu , will lead to consequences dangerous to the welfare of this kingdom . "
John Bright , Esq . rose to second the resolution . He believed a police force to be necessary both under this and every other kiml of government There were times of political excitement , which required stringent measures to allay the temporary disquietude of the eoui . uy ; but he believed a force , similar to the one established at present , was , above all Others , calculated to ferment disturbances and create discontentment amongst the people . He could well imagine the feelings that would animate the bosoms of the starving operative , when viewing these conservators of the peace , perambulating our peaceful towns and villages , to support whom , additional taxes had to be imposed . Already had they cost the township of Spotland . £ 308
Is . lOd . ; Castleton , £ 2 « 3 15 s . 5 d . ; Blatchworth and CauUerbrook . £ 136 lla . lOd . ; WardleWOrth , £ 81 las . ; Wuerdle and Wardle , £ 206 10 s . ; and Butterworth , £ 250 . What atrvices had they rendered the parish for this enormous expenditure of the public money ? Why , none at all . Indted , there was nothing for them to do ; he had seen them during the last winter , in the various inns , comfortably , and he would add , wisely , enjoying themselves ; but as there were countless masses of our industrious population unable to acquire the means to supply their physical wants , and the poor rate-payers were crushed beneath the Weight Of taxation , to support a body of men nnncessary , useless , and uncalled for , he most cordially seconded the resolution , which was carried as before .
Mr . James Taylor next addressed the meeting in a speech of sarcastic eloquence , lashing the middle class for their selfish treachery , and charging them with being tha cause of the establishment ef the police . It was moved and carried . "That the petition to the Lords , be presented by Ej . rl Stauhope , and to the Commons by John Fielding . " After a vote of thanks to the Chairman , a show of hands was taken for tbe restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones ; three cheers were given for the Charter , and tkree for the people ' s unvanquished advocate , Feargu * OCcnnor .
Mr . Holden proposed three cheers for the Duke of Wellington , which were responded to with tremendous groaning . Mr . H . observed that these Chartists were an extraordinary lot to make friends of .

I believe this man , along with others , was led into these proceedings , by a Frenchman , who went amongst ¦; , them , distributed money , assisted them ini the manufactuTe"Of arms , and excited them to an alarming extent . I am happy to say the feeling with , regard to Chartism ia nearly subaided , and that the punishments which hare already been inflicted , have bad a most salutary effect Under these circumstances , I hope your Lordship will not think it necessary for the ends » f justice that a severe sentence should , bet passed . .
: tfSaroa Rolfb—Tbis man wm , I tbink , Indicted with others . ¦ ,.: ¦ ., ¦ ¦ . ' ! ¦ •' .- '¦ , , '• . The Hon . J . 8 . Wortley , who appeared for the prosecution , said—If your Lordship Wishes I will state tbe general nature of the case . ' Mr . Wilkins—1 had rather bis Lordship would read the depositions himself . The Clerk of Arraigns said—The depositions are in my office ; I will send for them , if your Lordship pleases . The Learned Judge said—I should like to have them . The depositions were accordingly aent { ot . Mr . W / UUNS—I hope your Lordship will not feel yourself bound by the decision in former cases . If I may be allowed to suggest to your Lordship , there does not now exist the same necessity for signal punishment that there did then .
Baron Kolfe—That ie true .- but H would be a rather dangerous doctrine to be allowed to prevail that if « rt « rai persons jointly commit the same offence , if one jgeis away f » r a time from justice , that the others should be punished , and he should escape scot free . On reference to the Indictment , it was found that Foden was indicted alone . Mr . Wilkins—I am sure , my Lord , if I ani well informed in this case , on the part ef the prosecution there is no desire to press for a strong punishment against this man . Mr . WoitTtEY—The authorities consider that having proceeded against others for the same offence , they ought also to proceed against him . Mr . Wilkins—Knowing vengeance cannot be the object of the law , but merely the benefit Of society , I do trust that your * Lordship will be as lenient as possible . ' " ¦ "
Baron ROLFE—At present I do not understand the oase . It would be a great scandal on me if I was te give an opinion without knowing something about the facts , of which I am utterly ignorant . I know nothing more than appears in the calendar . Mr . Wilkins—I would also mention to your Lordship that the prisoner has been already three months in the Castle , and a month in custody on a previous occasion . - His Lordship then retired to peruse the depositions . O . i his return , about half an hour afterwards ,
Mr . Wilkins said—Before your Lordship proceeds to pass sentence , allow me to state that , J understand from Mr . Noble , the Governor of the Castle , that the prisoner has behaved exceedingly well since he has been in gaol , and made himself useful as an assiatantschoo , iinaster amongst the prisoners . The prisoner has also instructed me to state that , having been a baker nearly the { . whole of his life-time , he is extremely susceptible of cold , and during the term of his imprisonment , he is anxious your Lordship should permit him to remain in this gaol . The Clerk of Arraigns then said—Prisoner at the bar , you stand convicted of a -aisdemeanour , what have you say why the Court should not give you judgment for that offence ? Fodeu—No , I do not think I have anything to say more than the Learned Gentleman has said .
Baron kolve—Well , - what your counsel has said for you is , that you are penitent , and exceedingly regret the course into which you have been betrayed , but I cannot pay any attention to such observations . You were indicted with a great number of others a year ago , for a most violent sort of seditious proceeding , and for -which , after reading the depositions carefully through twice , I cannot find the shadow of a justification . The objects you bad in view were so desperate , and strike ao entirely at the root of society , > that I do
not wonder at finding very severe sentences passed on the other persons convicted . You , for a time , escaped the vigilance of justice , but , although uow the excitement on this subject may have in some degree subsided , I caunot think of more mercifully dealing with you because you evaded justice , and are tried a year or two afterwards , than if you had been here on that occasion . You have already been three months in gaol ; and the sentence of tho Court is , that you be imprisoned and kepi to hard labour for one year and nine calendar months .
HOUSE STEALING AT SHEFFIELD . Robert Henderson and Jeremiah Barlow , who were tried a few days ugo , and Acquitted of horse stealing , were indicted for having , under false pretences , obtained a inure troin Francis Pa wson . A demurrer was put in to the indictment to the effect that the prisoners having been clearly acquitted of a felony , they could not be tried for a misdemeanour arising out of the same facts . Mr . Pashley supported the demurror ; and Mr . Wortley urgued against it . Numerous precedents and authorities were cittsd , and a rather laughable circumstance occurred during the argument One of the prisoners leaned over the reporters' box and , evidently fearing the case was against him , said , "Tell Mr . Pasuley to call my witnesses to character . "
After the argument , tbe Learned Judge was anxious for time to consider the point ; and an arrangement was come to that the prisoners were to b « discharged on their recognizances to appear at the next Assizes . Of course they were " content to be so bound ; " but the poor fellows knew so much of the proceeding , that when they went down into the dock they expected to go back again to the Castle ! This concluded the criminal business .

An inquest was hold on Thursday . The Jury returned » , verdiot of " Accidental death , " with a deodand of Is . on the oheese .
Attempt at Murder . —A most extraordinary attempt at murder was made upon an unfortunate female named Caroline Smith , on Thnrsday week . She waa walking in Tooley street with a young man , a sailor , on the evening of the day just named , when a person , having the appearance of a master of a trading vessel , came upon them suddenly and knocked the young woman down , and attempted to cut the woman's throat with what appeared to be a penknife . He was driven away by the sound of approaching footsteps , and ran down a lane towards the water side . At present the affair is wrapped , up in some mystery .
At Staffordshirk Assizes , George Nixon waB yidicted for the murder of Joseph Ball , at Burslena , in AugUit last . Ball waa an engine-tenter , and his duty was to watch the engine-house of the Jackfield colliery at night . One evening his body was found , horribly mangled , in a cavity in which revolved a large wheel used for working off the water from the coal-pit . It was proved that the prisoner had marks of violence about his fact , on the evening when Ball was last seen alive ; that he complained of having been beaten at Burslem ; that he had mentioned some quarrel which he had had with Ball ; and that -he said at a public-house , to one Tunstall , that he was convinced that he had pushed " one of the Balls "
into the fly-wheel race . TunataW said , Then you must have killed him ? " To which he replied , " No , I think not , for I only pushed him into the water , ( in which the wheel revolved , ) and then ran off . " As he accompanied this remark with a laugh , and appeared" intoxicated—which most of the party seem to have been—Tunstall thought he could not be iu earnest , and no attempt , therefore , was made to assist Ball . The prisoner stated before the Coroner who held an inquest on the body , that he had seen Ball as he passed the engine house , and that Ball had threatened to kick him if he did not go off , but that they had parted without any blowa . He was sentenced to transportation for life .

Explosion in a Coal Mine . —The town of Hamilton and its neighbourhood were thrown into great consternation on Tuesday week , on hearing of an extensive explosion of fire-damp in the coal-mine near Quarter , accompanied with the loss of eleven lives . It appears that about eight o ' clock that morning , the breakfast-hour , there were Bix men aad a boy in the mine , all of whom must have perished instantly by the explosion . On the a ' . lSrin being given , the overseer of the mine not being ' at haud , seven men , who were outside of the mouth , rushed thoughtlessly into the pestiferous atmosphere
of the newly-exploded mine . Three of them were dragged out alive , and four dead . Unceasing exertions were made to relieve the mine of the noxious vapour ; but it was not till Wednesday morning that the bodies of the first seven sufferers were recovered . Some of them were shockingly mangled by the explosion , in a way that shewed that the death of the whole must have been instantaneous . Of the eleven who died , nine were married , and have left widows and families behind them . The proprietor of the mine , the Duke of Hamilton , on hearing of the event , immediately sent pecuniary assistance to the families of the sufferers .
Extraordinart Charge of Murder . —Harriet Longley , a fine-featured young woman , twenty-one years of age , was charged at Hatton Garden policeoffice , on Saturday , with the wilful murder of her infant , under circumstances of the most heartrending nature . Sergeant King , of the N division of the police , stated that , on Friday evening , about the hour of eight , the prisoner called at the stationhouse , and delivered herself into his custody OH the charge of having murdered her offspring , at the same time expressing a desire for witness to walk with her a short distance , and she would point out the spot where the body would be found . She appeared so distressed in mind , that witness had not the slightest doubt of the correctness of her awful
admission , and he accompanied her to the New River , in front of Owen-row , Cler ken well ; and she then said if search were made there , the lifeless remains of her babe would be discovered . Witness caused the water to be dragged , and , in the course of two hours , the body was taken out . The unfortunate prisoner afterwards informed witness that the child was born three weeks ago at Maidstone gaol , where she ( the mother ) was imprisoned for vagrancy ; and that when it was a fortnight old she was liberated , but had no home to go to . She had applied to various parishes , but at none could she obtain relief . Oa the day she committed the act , for which her life , she said , might pay the forfeiture , she went to the overseer of Saint
Marylebone , and was told that nothing would be done for her , as she did not belong to them . Hungry and tired , she afterwards wandered about , scarcely knowing whither she was going , her sole attention being turned to her poor babe , whose cries for food were working her up to a pitoh of madness—her breast having that day ceased to afford the little creature her wonted nourishment . She , at length , found herself in Owen ' s row , and , sitting herself on the stop of a door , Bhe again and again put _ her infant to her bosom—it sucked in vain , the springs of natur * had dried up ; and being no longer able to witness its sufferings , she , in despair , flung it into the stream , aad b&w do more of it until it was brought out by witness . Mr . Combe said it was a
most awful and distressing case , and he asked the accused if she " was anxious to say anything ! She said she was not ; adding , that what Sergeant King had said was strictly correct . Distress of the worst description , had driven'her to the commission of the crime . Had she been able to have procured a morsel of bread to have satisfied the cravings of her child , it would now have been alive . She endeavoured , but was not able , to procure it eve « that ; and a mistaken notion of humanity prompted her to put an end to its misery . In answer to the worthy Magistrate , Sergeant King said that the usual means were used , by Mr . Edmondson , Burgeon , of ClerkenwelL to restore animation , but without effect ; Mr . Combe said he should remand the prisoner until next Saturday , when she would be coaomiUed .

The prisoner was seen to walk into tbe shop , take the bundle of stockings openl y and walk out deliberately , without attempting to avoid observation or to hasten away with his plunder The policeman into whose custody he was given said that the unfortunate lad evidently committed the robbery for the purpose of being prosei-uted . Gooeh the turnkey of the Giltspur-street Compter , one of those good inclined fellows who sonetimes are to be found in situations of the kind , said that he Kreatw pitied the . poor Jad , who , he believedhad not a
, friend in the world , and , having lost his character could obtain no sort of employment . Theturnkev added that nobody , could have behaved better ii confinement than the prisoner , who acknowl edged his necessities were so . great that he wishedtobe saved from perishing by transportation . Thiie was no sort of deception or humbac about ( be poor fellow at all . Sir Peter Laurie ^ - " f perceive that he has been a prisoner before . " Gooch- ^ He has been in the Compter before .

sentenced to twelve months imprisonment . " Sir Peter Laurie— "You-were " guilty 1 " Prisoner— " I was ; I deserved what I received . " Mr .

I have suffered the penalty of the law , and I came out on the 1 st of March , and have been walking about ever Bince , for nobody will emplov me . " Sir P . L . —Poor boy ! there are thousands in
the same condition . What is an unfortunate fellow who repents the first act of detected dishonesty to do ? Every one is afraid to employ him , and he cannot lie down and starve . I believe the evidence given by the Chaplain to Coldbath-fields prison , who said before a Parliamentary Committee , that he never lost sight of a prisoner after the first introduction to prison until death or transportation interfered . " Prisoner— " I am desirous of going out of the country , my Lord , and I know of no other way of getti p g out , and I trust you will kindly assist me . Sir Peter Laurie— " I shall commit you fvr trial , and represent your case , and I hope that you may be treated mercifully . " Gooch— "His conduct in prison has been quite a pattern to others . " Sir Peter Laurie— " He is committed for trial . Let him be treated kindly . "
