had been her neighbour for some • years ; that
in the course of the last three years she had
borne three children, and that- after she had been
delivered

away, and never heard .of more by the neigh.
boors. Observing for some time past that Miss
Levy was again pregnant, the deponent was resolved

a butcher's boy gave the alarm, and said that the
Prisoner had attempted to put a child down a gut.

her, and took the'child, which was almost riaked,
into her care, anti gave the Prisoners into cus.
