Died on the 4th instant at Basingstoke, aged 76, Mrs.Goodman, widow of James Goodman, Esq. of Barton, near Winchester.
Infanticide.- In the parish of South Stoneham, there has occurred an instance of the too frequent crime of child murder, which involves circumstances of peculiar interest, both as regards the commission of the deed and its discovery:- A young man of the adjoining village of Bishop's Stoke, by the name of Chas.Benham, had paid his addresses for about six months to Sarah Scorey, a servant girl whose friends resided in Stoneham parish, and nothing appeared to stand in the way of their intended union, except one suspicion, which arose from the following cause :- On the Friday after last Michaelmas-day, Benham overheard a female neighbour telling his mother that she suspected that Sarah was in the family way; alarmed at this, Benham immediately enquired what reason there could be for such a suspicion, which was confirmed by his mother, who earnestly advised him to have no more to do with Sarah, as he (Benham) well knew that Sarah was already the mother of one child, a fine boy in Stoneham poor-house; but as that had occurred some years ago, it had not been regarded as an indelible stain, and Benham was even yet willing to believe that his mother's suspicions were unjust. He therefore accompanied Sarah, on that very day, to Waltham fair, and after telling her what he had heard, both in going and returning, intreated her to declare whether there was any truth in it, when she positively assured him there was not. On the evening of Saturday the 3d instant, the young woman called at the house of Benham's father, with whom he resides at Bishop Stoke, and requested to be accommodated with lodgings there, but all the rooms were occupied, and she therefore went, accompanied by Benham's mother, to the house of her uncle, John Scorey, at South Stoneham, where she was provided with a bed; on Sunday evening the 4th inst. Benham met her there, and repeated his enquiries, but she still persisted in denying the truth of the accusation, and he then told her that if he found it was not the case, he would certainly marry her, but he would wait long enough to ascertain the fact, upon which she again protested her innocence : Benham left her at her uncle's at about half-past nine that night; there being no spare room in the uncle's house, she slept both on Saturday and Sunday nights on the outside of her brother's bed; between eleven and twelve on the latter night, the brother heard her get up and go down stairs; as he soon fell asleep for a short time, he could not say, however, how long she was gone, but supposed she must have been absent about an hour, or more; on her return he asked her what was the matter with her, and she merely observed she was cold, upon which he desired her to cover herself with some clothes, and nothing further passed; about the middle of the next day, Monday, she abruptly left her uncle's, and went to her mother's, a mile distant; on Tuesday morning, as a young man in the employ of her uncle was removing some sheaves of wheat from the mow to the floor of a small barn near the house, he found a handkerchief tied up as a bundle, in which was the body of a new-born female child : being much frightened, he immediately ran in to his master, and told him what had happened, upon which the child was removed into the house, and properly laid out : information being conveyed to the coroner, Mr.Todd, he summoned a jury, and proceeded to hold his inquest without delay. After the proof of the above facts, a surgeon was called in, who deposed, that he had minutely examined the body, both externally and internally, and has no hesitation in pronouncing that the child was born alive; no marks of violence, however, appeared on the body; he further stated that he had examined the person of Sarah Scorey, whom he found to have been recently delivered of a child. Hannah Benham, sister of Chas.Benham, then identified the handkerchief in which the child was found, in the most positive manner, and by particular marks, as the property of Sarah Scorey, in whose possession she had seen it on the Sunday evening, when the birth is supposed to have taken place; it also appeared that the barn in which the body was found is not fastened at night, and that the mow was easily accessible. The Jury, with little hesitation, returned a verdict of "Wilful Murder," against the said Sarah Scorey, and the Coroner immediately issued his warrant for her commitment to the county gaol, as soon as the surgeon could certify that she might be safely removed, to take her trial at the next assizes, when and where all parties concerned were bound over in recognizances to give their attendance.
An inquest taken by Mr.Shebbeare last Tuesday, at Selborne, on the body of James Kemp, a child about 5 years old, who died on Saturday last, in consequence of being dreadfully burnt on the 6th instant.

New Mode of Thieving.- Several farmers who are in the habit of sending their corn very early into Devizes on the morning market, have with winter been robbed in the neighbourhood of Lydeway by the following method :- The thieves tie a strong rope around some tree by the side of the road, at the end of which is attached a good sized hook; this they contrive, unperceived, to throw into the cart as it is proceeding, and fastening it to the article they desire, they thus easily dislodge a sack of corn, or any thing else, unperceived by the carter.
