CASE OF INFANTICIDE.
Grktmoutii, This day
The body of a newly born child was found on Saturday in High-street, south of Lawyer's Creek bridge, alongside the road. It was wrapped in calico and brown paper, with four half-crowns tied in a corner of the calico. The evidence at the inquest showed that the child was born alive, and probably died from neglect. The umbilical cord having been cut with a blunt instrument, and not having been tied, the hemorrhage that ensued caused death. The jury returned a verdict accordingly. The body was seen by a young girl on tho day before, and although on the edge of the road and in full view of passers by it remained undisturbed until Saturday.
