Another Evidence deposed, that she asking her who was the Father, and how it was got, the Prisoner told her that she going up to make a Lodgers Bed in the place where she had liv'd before, he laid her on the Bed and did there get it, that he was since run away, and the People of the House her Master and Mistress were remov'd above 100 Miles off.

The Prisoner in her defence pleaded that she had had a fall about a Fortnight before, and had not felt the Child stir within her since that time, and that it was still born, upon the whole the Jury acquitted her.
