An Extraordinary Story.

Yesterday morning public interest ex- cited by an announcement which appeared in the papers that the infant daughter of Dr. Downes, divisional police surgeon in Kent ish-town road, had been kidnapped by her nurse Before the intimation met the eye of the reader, the child had been discovered, and the nurse, having been apprehended, was charged at the Marylebone Police Court with kidnapping the doctors daughter. The ex- traordinary defense to which she resorted was that the child was her own, and that it had been palmed off upon Dr. Downes by his wife. Her story which is very circumstantial, and can be easily verified or disproved, is to the effect that not only did Mrs. Downes pass of the child in dispute as her own by artifces which certainly ought not to have been able to deceive the pract1ced eye of a police sur
 geon but that second child was procured last January in similar way, and surreptiti- ously introduced into the family as the legiti- mate offspring of Dr. Downes. The nurse, a young woman of 23, could hardly have invent ed story so unnecessarily detailed and cir cumstantial: and yet what can be more incre- dibie than that a lady who had already had four children should have resorted to such deception in order to add a fifth and sixth infant to her already numerous family
