Hugh Grant, a discharged soldier from the 82nd Regiment, was charged on remand, at the Workington Policecourt, with the wilful murder of his daughter Eleanor, aged one month. The prisoner on the previous Tuesday night, after beating his wife and her father, seised his infant daughter, swung her round his head, and dashed her against a hen house. The child died soon afterwards. The prisoner was again remanded until Wednesday next, in order that the coroner’s inquiry might be completed.
