DEATH OF AN ILLEGITIMATE INFANT.
By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, October 27. An inquest was held yesterday on the body of the illegitimate child of Amy Priest. Detective Kemp said that from information received he went to the Arcadia Hotel on Fridfey and found Amy Priest, a housemaid, in bed. She said the child was born through the night. She lost consciousness at the time, and on recovering found the child was dead. The medical evidence showed that the child had just commenced to breathe. ' Had the mother proper attention no doubt the child's life would have been saved. Evidence was given by the girl's sister, and by her room mate, neither of whom were aware of Amy Priest's condition. A verdict was returned that the child had breathed but had d'ed during the process of birth.
