Allen v. The State.
    Submitted March 18,
    Decided April 10, 1907.
    Indictment for murder. Before Judge Freeman. Troup superior court. January 26, 1907'.
    
      E. T. Moon, for plaintiff in error.
    
      John G. Hart, attorney-general, and J. B. Terrell, solicitor-general, contra.
   Cobb, P. J.

This was a prosecution of a mother for the murder of her new-born babe. The child was a bastard. There was evidence sufficient to authorize a finding that the child was born alive, and that the mother killed it by inflicting injuries upon its head. No error of law is complained of. The refusal of a new trial will not be reversed.

Judgment affirmed.

Fish, O. J., absent. The other Justices concur.
