was held before Mr. Carter, at the Three Mariners, Esher,
Surrey, on the body of a- male child, which had been found
in a drawer in the mansion of Lady Noel Byron, on the
evening' of Wednesday last. It appeared from the evidence
of a female in her. Ladyship's service that a young woman,
named Jane Baker, a kitchen-maid, who had not previously
been suspected of being enciente, was found extremely ill,
and circumstances tending to confirm the fact that she had
recenily been ddlivered of a child prevailed. On being
taxed with the same she adMitted the fact. On further
questioning as to what she had done with the child, she di-
rected the attention of Miss Randall to a drawer, in which
she discovered the body of a fine male child, full grown, but
quite dead. On an' examination of the body by Mr. Cole-
man, of New Kingston; he gave it as his opinion that the
child might have breathed, but. that it was certain it had
not existed more than a moment or twc. The body was free
i from all marks of violence, but might have lived had the
. mother been properly delivered. The jury, upon hearing
the evidence, returned a verdict that tue child was still-
iborn." The female remains in custody at her Ladyship's
mansion ; and as soon as she has sufficiently recovered Will
be examined. on the charge of ceheeelieg the birth.,
