The evidence of Mary E.l.ter was to the following

Thomas vl,, who lives next door to defendant's.,
house, knew the child to have been inescellent health
two years ago, when she was bound, and saw in 12
months a great alteration in her for the worse. He

her almost every day in the last year, and frequently
gave her bread, upon hearing her complain tnat she
had li.ornotiririg to eat. Immediately before she bad
been taken to the Woilthouse by the Overseeis there'
was not a bit of flesh upon her. Her bones were
bte .king through her skin, and she appeared a cum.,
