Opinion:
Daly. J.
The communication from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children shows that there is some inaccuracy in the statement as to the. prosecution of James Kelly and the alleged withdrawal of the charge by the society. As the original papers are said to be mislaid, proofs of the facts alleged may be taken before the court at special term and presented to the next general term. The certificates of the court of sessions must be produced.
All concur.
