DEATH THROUGH MIDWIFERY MAL-PRACTICE.
Ixvercajuhll, This day._ A woman named Sarah Jane- Fleet, wife of a blacksmith at Nightcaps, has been committed to gaol on a charge of manslaughter arising out of alleged mal-practicc as a midwife. The deceased woman was Jane Mildenhall, the wife of a laborer at Wrey's Bush. No doctor attended, but Dr. Young, of Rivcrfon, who was sent for, found the woman dying. He did not sec the child, and was of opinion that the deceased's deatli was caused by improper treatment, which might, however, have been used with the best intentions. The evidence went to show that the accused said she had a diploma. She admitted that thinking that all hope of a. doctor's coming was at an end she used means she would not otherwise have taken to relieve the deceased. These facts were brought out at the inquest on Saturday, and Mrs Fleet was at once arrested.
