On Thursday, the sth instant, at the Poor-house, in Stoke-
upon Trent, Hannah Bourne, a deformed dwarf, measuring only
23 inches in height, was, afters very tedious-and difficult labour,
safely delivered of a female child of the ordinary size, measur-
ing 211 inches, being only three inches and a half shorter than the
,nether.—The child was in every respect perfect, but still born ;
the mother, contrary to expectation, is likely to do well. This
very singular instance furnishes the Medical World with•an ens,
traordinary case, that will throw some additional light on the
obstetric art.
