c.tdilly, on the body of a female infant child, who
was found coricealed in a trunk, in the bottle of Sir
John Hort, tart. in that (beet, on Sunday.
It appeared by the evidence of Eliza Thompfon,
the houfe keeper in Sir John's family, that Ann
Jones, the kitchen maid, had been long fafpta*.d to
be in a pregnant fate ; and on being cpieflioned, the
always denied the faEl. On Thurlday daft the bottle-
, keeper was fully convinced of her pregnancy, and
preifed her clofely to difclofe her fituation ; but the
denieilit fill, although the was promifed proteEtion.
Jones went to bed cn Saturday night much indifpof-
ed with a cold ; and on Sunday morning, the houfe
keeper called at her chamber, when the informed her
that the was better ; but on bringing her a bafon ot
tea, the houfe keeper furpefted, from many circum-
ttances, that the had delivered herfelf of a child, and
ptelf‘d her to fay what the had done with it. Jones
fill denied the fit, when a furg,ton wits fent for,
who acid), found out the truth t.; the 'mule keeper's
atfertion, and on et.arninirg about the houfe, they
difcovcrcd the"newly horn bahe in a box, wrapped
up in a flannel petticoat. ihe furgeon, who was
nrefent when the child was found, fated, that one
tide of it was warm, and on relating that circumstance
at the time to Jones, the declared that it was fill-
born, but that it lay alongfide her for louse time it:
the fate the furge:ot defcribed.
Mr. 'Payne, a Surgeon, examined the chill yeller.
Jay. Ile found the contents of the thoras and ab-
domen found. The lungs were rather coil:weed, and
in putting a portion of them in water, they lwam.
fihicti is a fign that the child was horn alive,
though it was not a futlicient criterion to prove that
fad.

The Jury, after fome delPieratinn, returned a vet%
horn.
The wnrEan cnnfeffed that the bullet- in the family
was the father of the child.
