Internal trouble of a serious nature manifested itself, and Mr. White was advised by his wife's medical attendant of the necessity of a serious operation to get the skill of the best specialist procurable, as the case gave very little hope of recovery. The only chance was taken up in the hope that a life so dear to her husband and sons would be spared.

-HORRIBLE MURDER AT JAMBEROO. A murder of the foulest and most heartless character has been committed at Jamberoo, in the Coast districts, on the body of an infant only ten weeks old. The following are the particulars, taken at the coroner's inquest, as reported in the Kiama Examiner. Ann White, of Minnamurra, stated: I am the wife of Peter White, and mother of the deceased child. On this day (Monday) about 11 o'clock a.m., I was lying in bed in my house, unwell. I missed Ellen Flynn, my sister, who was living in the house with me, and the baby, now dead, from the house. I went round the house, to try if I could see them, and I heard a scream which I knew to be that of my baby. I went up to Ellen Flynn. She had a reaping-hook in her hand, and parts of the child, I don't know whether the legs or hands. She came towards me with the hook in one hand and the baby's clothes in the other. She said, " I am a butcher; for once," and went into the house. I went and picked up the body of the child in six pieces-the body, head, two, legs, and two arms. I rolled them all up in a shirt and laid them in my bed, and then dressed myself, and went in search of my husband and two of the children who were out; and I took another child with me. I met the two children, and took all three with me, and went to look for someone to send for the father. Ellen Flynn followed me, and took one of the children from me by force. I came to William Windley's and brought the two living children and the dead child with me, and asked Windley to go and get the child Ellen took from me. He could not go, but sent three of the Johnston’s, and they brought the child to me. I saw part of the child in my sister's arms, and the hook in her hand cutting up the child. I said, " Where is my. child ?"'. She said ' It's away." The child was not more than ten or fifteen minutes out of my sight before it was killed. It was quite hot. The deceased is the child Ellen Flynn took out of my arms. She always had a dislike to the child. On the day of the christening Ellen told the priest who christened it that if he had anything to do with it she would have his (the priest's) grave made before Christmas' day. William Windley stated: I am living at Minnamurra. On this day (Monday) I was at work, I heard Mrs. White's baby was killed. I went up to my house and saw Mrs.. White's, child lying on the sofa; the head, hands, and feet, appeared to have been lately cut from the body. Mrs White asked me to go to her place about a quarter of a mile, to bring up her other child. I did not go, but I got three of Mr. Johnson's sons to go and they brought it up. I went after a while to 'report' to the constable. I met him on the road coming, and told him. Constable Goddard and I, on our way to White's met Peter White and Ellen Flynn, and we all went back to White's house. We searched and found what we believed to be the place where the child was killed at the back of the house. We found a broken basin and on the roof of the house a reaping-hook. We then returned to my place. I saw Goddard take a bundle from Ellen Flynn containing some books and the leg of a child she seemed very unwilling to give up the bundle. To a Juror : It is my impression from what I have heard, that Ellen Flynn is out of' 'her 'mind. James Johnson stated: I live at Minnamurra with. my father. This morning about 11 o'clock, I was making a fire with my two brothers, Mr Windley came and told us of the murder, and asked us to go and take another child from Ellen Flynn, as he was afraid she would kill it. We went immediately, and when we got to the. house the door was open, and no person was inside. On coming out, of the house, we met Flynn with the child ,on her back, and one of my brothers asked her to give it to him. She refused and told us to mind our own business.- She took the child into the house; and left it on the sofa, and then went and put some water in a basin, and went into the room. I then took the child out of the window, and came away: Constable John Goddard stated:--About half-past ten o'clock this morning, from information I received. I started for White's place. I met Windley on the road, and went with him to his house, and examined the body of a child, I found the legs and arms cut off, and a bruise on the left temple. Mrs. White told me the particulars, and I then went towards where the murder was committed. I met Peter White and the prisoner, and I took her, on suspicion of the murder. I demanded a bundle she had, but she refused to give it up, and I took it from her. On opening it, I found some books, and the left leg of a child, wrapped up in some old rags. I asked her if she murdered the child. She said, "So you say." I then went on to White's and searched. About twenty yards from the back of the house, on a rock near a tree, there was a good deal of broken delf with blood on the edges, and three small pieces of grisly bone sticking on it. I then searched for an instrument that the crime could have been committed with. Prisoner said, if I would give her her book she would tell me, and she pointed to a reaping hook on the top of the house. On examining this, I found a few small brains sticking in the teeth. Since then, she has acknowledged to killing the baby, and said she did it by the help of God. The medical evidence was then received and the jury brought in a verdict of wilful murder against Ellen Flynn. and was then committed to take her trial for murder at the Gaol Delivery of the Supreme Court, to be held on the 1st February. She does not in any way attempt to deny the crime, which she says she was told to perpetrate of the Virgin Mary, and was obliged to do in obedience to that command; and she believes that it was for the best. There can be little doubt that her mind is affected, although in conversation on indifferent subjects her quiet manner and clear, answers would not lead to that conclusion. In appearance she is a tidy smart-looking, woman, rather large, with good features, and not at all a bad expression: her age we should 'suppose to be about one or two and twenty. The organ of destructiveness appears to be largely developed, and without much counterbalancing influence, in her family, for we recollect that her sister, the mother of the ,poor little murdered, child, some few months back committed an aggravated assault upon a neighbouring woman by dipping her head in a pot of boiling soap-suds hanging on the fire, by which she lost the sight of an eye, and had her face dreadfully scalded. //Queanbeyan Age and General Advertiser// **26 January 1861**+<blockquote>HORRIBLE MURDER AT JAMBEROO.

The medical evidence was then received and the jury brought in a verdict of wilful murder against Ellen Flynn. and was then committed to take her trial for murder at the Gaol Delivery of the Supreme Court, to be held on the 1st February. She does not in any way attempt to deny the crime, which she says she was told to perpetrate of the Virgin Mary, and was obliged to do in obedience to that command; and she believes that it was for the best. There can be little doubt that her mind is affected, although in conversation on indifferent subjects her quiet manner and clear, answers would not lead to that conclusion. In appearance she is a tidy smart-looking, woman, rather large, with good features, and not at all a bad expression: her age we should 'suppose to be about one or two and twenty. The organ of destructiveness appears to be largely developed, and without much counterbalancing influence, in her family, for we recollect that her sister, the mother of the ,poor little murdered, child, some few months back committed an aggravated assault upon a neighbouring woman by dipping her head in a pot of boiling soap-suds hanging on the fire, by which she lost the sight of an eye, and had her face dreadfully scalded. <cite>//Queanbeyan Age and General Advertiser// **26 January 1861**</cite></blockquote>
