Such instances will sufficiently shewwhat a patient and fixed resolution the fear of shame will produce. Ayoung unmarried woman, having concealed her pregnancy, was deliveredduring the night by herself. She was suspected; the room was searched, and the child was found in her box, wrapped up in wet clothes. Sheconfessed that the child was hers, but denied the having murdered it, orhaving had an intention to do so. I opened the child with Mr. Pinkstan, of St. Alban's-street, and the lungs would n...ot sink in water. Heraccount of herself was this: she was a faithful and favourite servant ina family, which she could not leave without a certainty of her situationbeing discovered; and such a discovery she imagined would be certain_ruin_ to her for life. Under this anguish of mind she was irresolute, and wavering from day to day as to her plan of conduct. She made someclothes for the preservation of her child (a circumstance which was inher favour), and she hired a bed-room in an adjacent street, to be readyto receive a woman in labour at a moment's notice.
