THE MTSIERIOUS CASE.

Puattc Orrice, UNION.HALL.—The final ezami.
nation refpelling the twe women who claimed to be
the mother of one child, took place yellerday before
a full bench of Magifirates.
Mrs. Sarah Non, who had puiletton of the child,
and claimed as a mother, laid; the was delivered of
a female child about the 9th of Oltober, iSo3.—
That when taken in labour, the lent for Dr. Hough:
of Percy Aired, to attend her, but that he did no:
arrive until after the had delivered herfelf. That the
is a married woman, but lived apart from her huf
hand at this time ; and that the name of the father
of the child is George Englith. The child now pro.
duced (he fw re was the one the was fo delivered of.
Doane Hough, of Percri!rect. Rathboneplace,
Paid he attended Mrs. Nott or Mrs. Englifh, for it
appears the went by both names, at a houfe in War-
ren.ttreet, on or about the 17th of o,9ober, 1803.
for a complaint the had upon tier, which was not in-
cidental to a (tate of pregnancy ; if he had to judge
only by her bulk, and appearance, he should hate
deemed her in the lilt month of her pregnancy ; but
as the never confulted him on that part of her cafe,
or called him into het atnence, he could not fay
whether the really had a child or not, other than by
Lis Cuing her on a civil vifit a fortnight after his re-
gular vifits were difcontinued, he found her difen-
cumbered of her bulk, in good health and fpiritse
and an infant in the room with her. That was all
he knew of the tranfadion.
Henry Nod, hufband
,the Claimant, laid the
had eloped from him fo long fince as the 3d of Fe-
bruary, itioe, without any reafonable caufe, that he
bad kceidentally feen her fince, but not to fpeak to
each other, nor had he any accefs to her fince her
el inment. He was therefore much furprifcd when
a Midwife called on him for a guntea, for delivering
his wife of two children, fur which he was fummon-
ed to the Court of Regtietts, and paid it. He heard
no more of her till about two years force, when the
fent him a letter, laying the had lain in about liz
weeks before, and had a child chtitlened in Ins name,
and as his child. Fle took no notice of this applica-
tion, nor has he ever feen say of the children the
men! ioned.
Mary Ann Hopkins laid the was, in the month
of Oflober, PBO3, an unmarried woman. living at
home with her mother in Wettmintler. That on the
gth of that month the graft with the help of Dr..
Hopkins, delivered of a female child, of which her
present bufband is the father, who was then in his ap-
prenticethip to a baker in Tuthill-fired, and married
her as loon as he was out of his time. Her dangerous
(late when lying in induced her mother to accept of
Mrs. Englith's °Rt.r to take the child from her, on
condition that the child should be chrifiened in her
name and as her own. After marriage, her liutband
willed to have the child home,which being refuted,
enticed her to apply to the Magiltrates tor their
n.
Mrs. Isfoolbronn, of the Three John*, Cartwright-
flreet, was prefent at the birth of the chili, which
the is c,,nfident is the fame now produced.-
Dr. Hopkins attended with his book, and proved
delivering Mary Ann Hopkins of a female child on
the 9th of ()dirtier, rind her ill (tate of health for
tome weeks after.
In this liage the Magifirates declined all further
interfeacnce, but referred the cafe to the QTtrter
Setlioirs, tinlefs in the mean time Mrs. Nott do,fe to
give up the child to the mother, Mrs. Hopkins, thee
all proceedings to mate.
