      HOME CIRCUIT . MURDER BI A MOTHEB . GurtDFOBD . —Maria Chitty , 45 , % re § p « tab ! e « looking woman , attired in deep mourning , was indicted for the wilful murder of her child , Jane Chitty , » ged seven years , by beating out its brains with a mallet . Mr . Knapp conducted the prosecution I the prisoner was defended by Mr . Clarion . _ I he learned counsel for the prosecution opened the case ma very kind and temperate manner . He said that tbe unhappy woman at the bar was not only called upon to answer the heinous charge of wilful murder , but ho was accused of having wilfully and in a most horrible manner deprived of life her own offspring . The case appeared to bs one of a most melancholy character , for he said there would be very little doubt that the set had been committed

      by the prisoner while labouring under a state of greaf excttement and misery , consequent upon her husband having been suddenly deprived of his reason and consigned to a lunatic asylum , thus depriving her and her family of their support and maintenance . He went on to say th it the case for the progecation almnst w uld establish the fact that at tho ti . -ne the prisoner destroyed her child she w ; is npt in such a state of mind as to render her legally responsible , bat he added that inasmuch as a dreadful crime had undoubtedl y been committed , it was essential for the safety of a ! l , that a full and strict inquiry should be made into all the circumstances connected with it , and if it should be m * 'le to appear satisfactorily that the prisoner really was m such a state of mind , he had no hesitation in telling them 'hat it would be their duty to acquit her upon that , ground , » "d to say by their verdict that she was not guilty of the dreadf ul crime laid to her charge . The following witnesses were then examined : —

      William Chitty , a son of the prisoner , said—My mother and fatlier carried on the business of a baker , in Quarrystreet , Gttildford ; but my father became deranged in September last , and since then I have assisted my mother in orrying on the business . My father was taken to Bethlehem m . d-house . On the 6 th of May I had three brothers S ' - 'd two eisters , Eliza and Jane , the deceased . We all lived in the house in Quarry-street , and my t * o sisters slept in 'he name room with my mother-, and the servant , Ellen Young , slept in the sams room . About four o ' clock in the morning on the 6 th of May I was awoke by my mother calling to me , and when 1 went to see her she asked me for the key of the shop , and I gave it to her and went back to

      hed . About seven o ' clock I heard a sort of cry in my mother ' s bedroom , which induced me to get up immediately and go there , and upon entering the room I saw my two Mstera in the bed , and my in ther was in the act of beating them with a wooden mallet . ( The instrument was produced ; it was about eighteen inches long in the handle , wasma'le of very heavy wood , and was altogether a very frightful weapon . ) When I got up to my mother she was about to strike my sister Elizi . and I laid hold of her hand and placed her on the aide of her own bed , and she dropped the mallet , and exclaimed , "I have murdered my children . " I then looked in the bed , and saw that my sisters we » e covered with blood , and Jane died the same day ,. about one o ' clock . My other sister is still alive .

      El " en Young said—I was in the prisoner ' s service , and slept in ihe aame nom with her and her children . On the morning of the 6 th of May the prisoner awoke me about six o ' clock and told me to get up . She then went down stairs , and I f ollowed her , and I was surprised at seeing the mallet , which was always kept in tbe cellar , on a chair ; and I covered it over with a cloth . Mr . T . J . Sells said—I am a surgeon , residing in Guildford . On the mominir of the 6 th of May , in consequence of information I received , I went to tho house of the prisoner , and , upon going into the bedroom , I saw tho two oh-Mren lying on the bed weltering in their blood . The prisoner was seated upon another bed in a state of 'great

      notation . She wrung her hands , and exclaimed , " What have I done ! I have killed my children . I could not help it I did not know what I was about . " She made u < e o ' other expressions of a similar kind , but I did not pay particular attention , but proceeded to examine the children . I found them both alive at that time but dreadfully injured , and I snvf at once that the deceased , Jane , was in a desperate condition , and evidently dying ; her skull was fractured , and the brain was oozing out , and it was impossible she could survive . The other child was also severely . injured , but she has since recovered . Tho injuries were sunh as would be produced by the mallet I have seen in conrfc .

      The learned Judge was about to sum up the . case , whan the f ury interposed , and said it was unnecessary . he should do so , as they were unanimously of opinion that the prianner nus » ht to be acquitted upon the ground that at the time she destroyed her child she was not of sound mind . A verdict of Not Guilty , on the ground of insanity , was then recorded , and the prisoner ' was ordered to . be detained iu custody dnring her Majesty's pleasure .

      NORFOLK CIRCUIT . ATTEMPTED VIOLATION . Ipswich . —John Fuller , a ? ed : 22 , was indicted for > tbe rap- of Erancea Woods , at Eriswell . Mr Power appeared for the proaacution , : and Mr . Williiim Cooper for the prisoner . Theprosecutrixwas an interesting andTeroarkablymodest looking young woman , and it appeared irom her evidence that the prisoner had formerly * een her lover , and had , in fact , been engaged to her for upwards of a year ; but bad been a short time before the commission of the crime , discarded by her "became , " aa she said , " he had acted so imprudentl y towards me , and she had subsequently contracted another engagement . On Sundav .

      the 18 th of May , about half-past eleven , tho prisoner came into the cottage where the prosecutrix resided with her fa-Iher and brother , " and after ascertaining from , her that they were both gone to . chapel at Brandon , a distance of about six miles , he perpetrated the offence with whioh he was charged . The prosecntrix afterwards walked to her mnr' -ied sister ' s , about two miles off , and complained to her of the prisoner ' s conduct . The prisoner was apprehended the same evening , and excused himself by imputations on th * character of the prosecutrix , which were clearly false . II's Lordship having summed up , The jury found him Guilty of an assault with intent , and his Lordship sentenced him to six months' imprisonment with hard labour .

      WESTERN CIRCUIT . CHILD MURDER . Bobmis— Gertrude Wellington was indicted for the wilful murder of her male infant child at Luxulyon . The prisoner upon being called upon said , " I am not guilty , it was not my child . " Mr . Cole conducted tho case for the prosecution , ' and Mr . Poulden , at the request of the learned Judge , watched the case on behalf of the prisoner , who otherwise would not have teen defended . We give the facts of the case as detailed in the evidence . Sitin Smith . —On the morning of Sunday the 2 nd of May , I went to a pond near Mr . Parkyns' house at Nansoawen , to pick watercresses . I saw what appeared to be the arm of a child . I took it out of the pond and went and informed Mr . Parkyns , the child was naked . I saw a fleshy , substance fcxH from the child as I took it up .

      Robert Parkyns . —I went to the pond and saw theohild lyine by the side of it . I had the child taken to the constable » . The following day Pasco brought a skirt to me . It was in a very dirty filthy state . The prisoner had lived with me for ten months . John Pasco . —I am a servan t of Mr . Parkyna . I was employed to clean out this pond on the Monday morning I found a skirt in it . There were spots of blood upon it and it smelt offensively . The skirt was about a foot from the place where the child was found . This is the skirt William Bennett . —I am a constable . On the 2 nd of May I received the body of a dead child from Smith , and I afterwards took it before the coroner . I subsequently received a skirt There was a bloody substance about it . It smelt dreadiully bad , as if something dead had been wrapped in it .

      John WanL—I am a surgeon at Bodmin . On the evening of the 2 nd of May I saw the body of the child . It was I remarkably fine cm \ o \ On the following morning I saw the body before the coroner , and made upost mortem examination . All the organs , with the exception of the brain were in a perfectly healthy condition . The lungs were healthy , nearly filling tho cavity of the chest . They were Srm in their consistence , of a pale reddish colour . The air-vessels were filled with air and crepitated , so that the child had inspired , They were submersed in water ; they floated , and when air was pressed out still they floated . I have no doubt on earth but that the child , had breathed Decomposition had set commenced , the bowels were perfectly healthy . The skin on the surface was much

      decomposed . The brain was very putrid . On the back of the head I found the mark or marks of a violent blow or blows , which 1 believe to have been inflicted while the child was alive—a large black mark , extravasation of blood , and a yellowish tint , which is evidence of the injury having been sjiven while the circulation was going on ; and my firm conviction is , that the blow was given while there waa life , I think that the child had died from five to seven or eight d » ys before . On the same day I made an examination of the prisoner ; there was , in my opinion , downright evidence of tbe prisoner having been recently delivered of a child , five or six days before . I afterwards examined a blanket of tbe prisoner's hed , and found marks as of a labour having taken place .

      Julia Parkyns . —The prisoner lived with roe . Some time before the child was found , in consequence of what I had heard , I , on the lith of February , accused the prisoner of being in the familyway . She strontjly denied it , and said Jt Wits her wish she should be taken to a doctor . In conBequi-nci ! of her declarations I was satisfied , and thrown off iny guard . She slept with Mary Stanlake three weeks before the child was found , but not after that time . I examined her bed on the Monday , and saw certain marks . Mr . Poulden submitted that there was no evidence to go to thejury . Mr . Baron Platt said , it was necessary that the child shoul . l lie proved to be the child of the prisoner . He did not know what the jury thought of it . The jury immediately said there was not sufficient proof to ait'i-fy them that the child was her ' s . T ;> e verdict of Not Guilty was therefore taken , and the pruoner was discharged .

      The same woman was acquitted of a similar charge two years ago .

      « at Mid wounded Janw * M'ChHBW » , mth intent todobitn some grievous bodily barm , Mr . Blaokwell prosecuted ; and Mr . Otter defended the prisoner . It appeared that tbe prosecutor is a pitman at a colliery village called Hazlerigsr . About one o ' clock on tho morning of the 1 st of May he went into a public house kept by Mrs . M'Guiness , and shortly afterwards the prisoners and some other labourers came into the house , and a quarrel ensued between the prisoner and the prosecutor , and they went out to fight . Ko fight , however , occurred , and the prosecutor returned into tho house . About five minutes afterwards the prisoner and a person named M'Ewen came into the

      house with some other men , and M'Ewen then seized hold of th 9 prosecutor and endeavoured to place him on the fire , swearing " he would roast him . " A struggle then took place and both fell , M'Ewen being uppermost . The prisoner then , with a knife in his hand , stooped down , and stabbed the prosecutor in the left side , Buying at the same time to M'Ewen , " Corne along ; I ' ve done for him now . " The prisoner and M'Ewen then left tho house , the prisoner still keeping hold of the knife . The prosecutor was taken home badly wounded . It was found that the prisoner had ab&condedj but he was taken into custody at Blyth the same day .

      Witnesses were called for the defence to attempt to set up a different version of the occurrence . His Lordship summed up , and The jury found the prisoner Guilty . He was sentenced to transportation for ten year 3 .

CAttustB . —Edward Dougherty , aged twenty-four [ aeither reads nor writes , ] was charged with having at Wjgton , on the 30 th of May last , ielovuovisly ravished Frances Wilson , a young woman about twenty-four years of age .
