The officers of the parish in the precincts of which the child was found. conceiving the case to be of such a nature as to *demand vublic investigation. d, ten:tined to bring it before a Court and Lire, and this day the midwife and the inot.:er if the infant were indicted for a conspiracy to drop the child i but eller a trial. w, lasted several hOUra. nutthesliihteet evidence was adduced which could at all connect the mother with the exposure or de sertion of the mild.

The jury. after an eloquent appeal from Mr. Scarlett on behalf .of the mother.and from Mr. Curwood on the part of the midwife, returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
