ing shocking discovery was made of an infant which was smothered
in consequence of having been plated in a box, immediately after

withstanding her anxiety to conceal it, was observed by one of the
housemaids, who advisee, her to lie down on the bed. This advice
.
was taken, and ten o'clock the housemaid proceeded op stain,
and found her fellow-servant exceedingly ill, who requested that a
medical man might be sent for. The housemaid then left the
room, and in the course of about an hour afterwards returned for
the purpose of retiring to bed. On reaching the bed-room door she
was surprised on finding it fastened on the inside. After having
khocked for some time the door was at length opened by Pitman,
who then appeared to be in an extremely low and debilitated state,
when she a,mtin implored thct no doctor might be sent for, attn. i
buting her lneas to something she had eaten that disagreed with
her stomach. The housemaid, who slept in the same TIOIII, then
went to bed, and she had scarcely lain down when she heard the
stifled cries of an infant issue from a part of the room at some dis-
tance from the bedstead. She remarked on this extraordinary eir-
cumstance to the cook, who said it was all imagination, siding, that
such could not be the case ; however, in a few minutes the mes
were again repeated, Mean which the housemaid got out of bed
communicated what she had heard to one of the other female fr.
rants, and the, both went back to the room and questioned Pitman
closely as to trite real cause of her illness. Pitman endeavoured to
evade the questions, and after some time desired that her sister
might be sent for. When her sister arrived, the cook related to
her, in the presence of some of the other servants, that she had been
delivered of a child; and upon asking her where it was concealed.
she pointed to her boa, which was st some distance from the bed-
side. On rat ing the lid of the box the body of a female Intact
was found among the wearing apparel: it was then quite dew,. A
surgeon was sent for by 11r. Hopkins, and he has been attending
the unfortunate woman since the discovery. Information was gory
to a Magistrate near the spot, who has given instructions ter the
woman to be brought before him when she is sufficiently recoverd
to undergo an examination.
