Emma iopliaitienr. mi; I.;;;;;Linid before
Mr. Ingham on a charge of murder.
Mr. Ingham said there was 'Moog presumptive ',blame
that the prisoner had been delivered of • full-grown child.
The difficulty be felt was whether the child wu bons alive
or not. If she bad been delivered of • dead child she could
not be indicted for murder. The medical evidence um so
strong that be entertained no doubt of ber havintatia
delivered of • child, alive or dead, after
gone nearly her fall time. Therefore if there wee
any proof that the child had hem bon alive
• ease could be made out. Ina cam an MI ef seeped=
be should not decide until remouble Alm had been
allowed to see whether u. mem wren be easeettined.
The prisoner wee thus wmrairi nal Twowhej so* and
the withers@ were ordered meg M udesd natal rumested.
