THE FIELD. 
fortabla* tho deceased boy was quite as much a skeleton ns his 
gjster.J 'fuipmy was seven years, aud Willy six. Willy com- 
plained la his father llint Tommy beat him, ami fntlier chnstired 
Tommy. When mother eiime ir>, Tommy told her that Willy 
bad got him info n row. Mother put Willy to bed, but ho got 
up and sal on the box. Mother knocked him off with n blow of 
her Rst. Ho got up rtgdlrt, and inntliov Strapped him with n 
strap on his waist niul Anns. lie got up ugoiu and undressed 
himself* when she hit him with her Imnd on llie temple. Mother 
put him into a tnb of water after hitting him twice— once on tho 
urin nnd once on the head. He could hardly move before lie was 
put into tho water. Sho took hiui out, for he was not able to 
more. f> n, l m 7 brother Tommy wiped him and put him to bed. 
He got up again, nnd mother told him to mb a tei-trny. Ho 
rubbed it n little, hut could not do it, eo mother took him up by 
his fCtrf and shook him. Sho took him up again, I think by his 
head, and throw him across flic room. He fell on tho boards ami 
could not move. Sho caught him agaiu, I cannot say how, nud 
throw him by tho box, and kicked him. 
Mr. Ingham: Whcrodid sho kick him ?— Witness: 1 ennnot 
tell whore. She then threw him on his back in a chair, and 
his bend was hanging down. She said to me, “ Now. you , 
you may do what you like with him." I said, “ Oct up, Billy, 
off the chair, mul let me wash you;” biit ho could not. Then 
mother hit me. Sho knocked me down, and kicked me. Then 
father knocked; I did not go dowu, ns 1 was washing the 
slop. 
Mr. Ingbnin: Wlint slop? — Witness: The water and blood. 
Father knocked again, and mother said, “ Go down, and let the 
in.” I let him in. llo went np stairs, and stopped 
about n minute. I stayed in tho yard, that father should not 
see my f/rce. 
Mr. Ingham : Why ?—' Witness : Because, if ho bq\V it, I'd 
catch it. 
Mr. Ingham: From whom? — Witness: From mother. My 
eye was pouring blood. All my things at home, nnd all my 
brother's things, are smothered in blood. As I was coming out 
of the ynrd, and father was coming down stnirs, ho said, “What 
is the matter with your eyo?” I said, “ Nothing, sir.” When 
I came np, mother said, “ Why were Jou not here when your 
father was here?” I said, “ I went into the yard to hide my 
face.” She said, “ Yotl were outsido the door listening.” I 
anid, “ No, I was not. mother.” My brother Willy was in bed 
then. Mother tohl him to get up and wipe his face — it was 
smothered with blood. He could not got up, and ns ho sot in 
the bed she kicked him, and made a jump on his forehead as 
round as a walnut. She kicked him lmlf-u-dozen times, once 
on the forehead. Sho then took him by the hnir, nnd threw him 
quito across the room. My eldest brother said, “ Don’t hit the 
poor little fellow any more, or you'll kill him, and be hung for 
it.” My mother look the pepper-hox, and threw it at Tom for 
saying so. Mother then took Billy up. Ho was dead. She 
said, “Oh, Billy, how I love you — l do love you.” His month 
nnd eyes Were wido open, and his face was pouring blooij every- 
where. Mother sent Tommy for four pennyworth of brandy, 
and poured some into Willy’s mouth, but he could not swallow 
it. Mother said, “Oh! I shall be hung;” nnd then said, 
“ Mind, lie fell down, and cut his bond against the tin box.” 
Mother then wrapped him up in n sheet, nnd took him to tho 
hospital. Before going out, mother said, “ Be qniet; the people 
of the honso arc listening.” 
Mr. Ingham: Why did she say “Bo quiet?” — Witness: Not 
to lot the people know. 
Mr. Ingham: Is sho your mother ? — Witness: No; sho is not 
my first niothor. 
Mr. Iiighnm : IToW long has she been married to your father ? 
— Witness ; About a year. 
Mr. Ingham to the prisoner : Have you any question to osk of 
this witness? 
Prisoner: Yes. Look at me, Annie ; look nt your dear mother. 
The child turned half way ronnd, and then averted her glunco, 
turning her eyes on the magistrate, as if she felt confidence only 
in him. 
Prisoner : Is she not allowed to look nt me ? 
Mr. Ingham : You see she will not do so ; nsk her wlint you 
choose through mo. 
Prisonor: Ask her who has tutored her in this tale? She has 
been in custody of Mr. nnd Mrs. Heninnn all night, and she 
eonld not remember all she lias told unless she was well tutored. 
Mr. Ingham: Did any one (each you to say anything, child? 
— Witness: No, sir, no one. I hnvo told the truth. 
Prisoner: May God forgive you, Annie, ns I hope ho will for- 
give mo ; for a third of what you have said is not true. 
The painfully graphic statement of tho child was heard with 
bventhless silence, and her father, who was in the back of tho 
Court, appeared like a man demented. 
Mr. Myers Greenwood proved that death was caused bv the 
injur.-es done to the head. One of the wounds in the forehead 
wno two and a-half inches long; the viscera were healthy. 
The depositions wero taken at length, nnd the prisoner was 
committed for trial for wilful murder. 
A coroner’s inquest in the above ease was held on Tuesday 
evening before Mr. William Baker, the coroner, nt the Grave 
Maurice tavern, Whitechapel-rond, on view of tho body of tho 
deceased William Sengar, aged six years, when, nfter henring 
ovideneo similar to that given before tho magistrate, llio jury 
unanimously agreed to n verdict of “ Wilful murder against 
Mary Anne Alice Seagar,” Tlitf Coroner thereupon issued his 
warrant to the officer for her committal to Newgate, to await 
her trial. The inquiry lasted fivo Imurs.

Tho above appeared in our second and third editions hist 
week. YVe have to add that about four o'clock, the University 
being inu minotity of 208, followed ’thell 1 innings, und every 
one expected an easyvlctory for the Town Eleven. However, 
after the loss of four wickets, Messrs. Leake aud Fitzgerald 
got in together, and tho hitting became fust und furious. 
They run up tho score from 44 to 21G, and hud thus put 8 
runs “on” when time was called just as Mr. Liakn lost 
his wicket after a brilliant iutiingr, and the match was 
declared drawn, llud the game been continued on the 
following day, tho score might have presented a still more 
strange appearance, as threo of tho best bats in the Eleven, 
Ward, Dupuis, and McCormick, were yet to follow.

EMMANUEL e. ST JOHN’S, CAMBRIDGE 
After tho dolcut indicted by tbu Emmanuel 2nd Eleven 
on the 2nd Eleven of St. John's in the early purl of the 
week, tlie Johninns sent into the Held the best team they 
could collect, on Fflday and Saturday last, to contend With 
tho flower of tho Emmanuel Club, being determined, if pos- 
dl le, to revenge by one effort their numerous detents of 
lute years, hi tho first innings, tho St. John’s scored 11G, 
<>t which 59 stood opposite to Mr. M'C.»ri»»lck’s name, and, 
m proot ol their intention to win if possible, had already 
lowered l) of their opponent#’ wickeU lor 80 runs, when the 
r.irlune ill the game veered round, nnd, in spite of nil their 
otlorts, tlmv could iA°t obtain Hie remaining wlcUl't (one of 
tho -nd Lloven by the by) till 81 Uioro haU been ntldcd to 
tho score. Moreover, the 7th, 8th, and 0th wickets had 
lullen in three successive bulls. So much for tho glorious 
uncertainly of Cricket. Tho Johniatis, however, resinned 
the but with confidence, and refused to relinquish it till they 
bad obtained 158 runs, thus leaving a balance of 114 for tho 
consideration of the Emmanuel Eleven. At this stngo of 
the game, the friends of each party were doubtful of success, 
ns was testified by the numerous “ |fs” heard on ull shies, 
such as, “ If So and so will only howl well," or, “ If so oml 
M) once . I ts u good sight of tho ball,” &c. & c . ; but tho 
Emmanuel “ men ” quickly dispelled all doubt of tlio result 
by bitting away In all directions, and fortune seemed to 
m vo ur their endeavour - *, judging fit least from tho number 
of catches just and only just out of reach, and tho number 
or limes the howlers railed tholr hands In wonder how the 
bull ootrt.i) go so near tho Stumps without hitting them. 
- he result, however, was, that tho required number of i mis, 
114, w hs obtained with l ho loss of only ihvoo tvlckelp, ouolhor 
branch being thus added to tlio numerous uml wcll-eosueU 
laurels of llie Emmanuel Club. On tho second day, tho 
Emmanuel gentlemen very handsomely provided dinner for 
their opponents at Emmanuel, and both parlies thus en- 
joyed u better and more comfortable dinner thun In general 
lulls to the lot of match-players ou tho piece. Tho following 
is tho score : —
