Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 5001. 1 *• CHrLDAVROPPING.—About eight o'clock on Tuesday evening, a fine male child, apparently not a week old, was found in an old basket, having on a shirt, and wrap ped up in a piece of blanket, lying at the door of %I n. Mary Jinni, 24, .Tash Street, Gray's Inn-lane. The poor child was nearly dead from cold ; it was taken in doors,where every kind attention was paid to it; and after it was warmed and fed, it was carried to the workhouse in Little Gray's Inu-lane. Friday the parish officers. who havotaken up the case, attended at the Polite Office, Hatton Garden, where a private ex amination of all the witnesses took place, which lusted Upwards of two hours. It appears that a young lady in the neighbourhood was delivered of the child in question on Saturday afternoon; it was shortly after taken away. by the midwife, to nurse, to a poor woman in Clerbenwell, where it remained until Tuesday after noon, when the midwife, who lives in Kirby Street, went -.to . the nurse for the child, telling her the lady wished to see it before she let it, go to the country, maim .44,0tegi t dett tO send it to 'num. , .
