that he was in Kill-street, Knightsbridge, on his way home,
at about half-pan 11 an the previous night, when his atten-

Mr. Perrier having asked the constable to describe the
place where the child wee found, he replied that it was a
place so protected that the prisoner could not have climbed
over it to deposit the child on the brickwork where it was
but must have had much difficulty in lowering it
ftrreaty its bedgown, which would amount for the tact et the
infant having • black eye, by being struck against some hard
substance. The prisoner, when taken into custody, wee told
by hint that it was for leaving her child in the place de-
scribed. She admitted the feet.
The magistrate ordered the child, which appeared In a
