CAsE or ALLEGED MATERNITY.
LONDON, November "A remarkable
story is revealed in an application which
will tomorrow be presented TO the Home
Secretary praying the pardon Of Mrs Su.
sannNh Shutteworth, lady Of 10 years,
who, couple of weeks ago, was sentenced
at the Maidstone Assizes 10 four months
imprisonment for falsely representing that
she had bean confined OF female child
The facts were suppressed at the trial, and
are now brought out for the first time The
father Of the prisoner, prominent resi-
dent Of Bradford, Yorkshire, died some
time ago, leaving al estate Of over half
million OF dollars. By his will Mrs. Shut,
tleworth and her younger sister q Mrs. kil.
hngworth, were given life interest in the
estate which at their death was to be 'di /
yided among their children.
The younger sister has large family, T.
while the prisoner, who had separated from
her husband IN consequence OF bis i'll /.
treatment was up TO last summer without |
children. According to the allegations oil
the trustees under the will at whose in
stance the prosecution was instituted, she .
did not relish the idea Of the vast estate .
going to the family OF her sister, and &C
cordingly last June she went to retired .
country spot in Sussex and pretended TO .
give birth to female child Subsequent
ly in accordance with the law, she made
affirmation Of the birth before the Deputy
Registrar, and it was upon this action that
the prosecution was based
The fair defendant persisted TO the end
Of the trial that the chill WAS her own and
that she had been attended by midwife /
named Hannah Cox, and although the wo.
man was not forthcoming the prosecuting
lawyers were compelled to admit that they
bad not been able TO trace the source from
whence, as they alleged the child had been
procured. The defendant appeared in
court with the baby, and despite the fact
that by giving it nouri8hment at frequent
she demonstrated its maternity q
Jury 0! country shopkeepers found
her guilty. The Judge, however,
did not add the usual hard labor TO the ser-
tcDce.
The pardon 10 asked for on the ground
that the verdict was against the weight Of
evidence, ard whether or not it is granted
The yround- work has been laid for some
Gigantic and sensational litigation in years
10 come, when the mother is dead and the
child is old enough 10 lay claim to lis
share o! an estate which by that time may
have reached q million.
