Indictment for murder. Before Judge Freeman. Troup superior court. January 26, 1907'.

1Opinion of the CourtCobb, P. J.

This was a prosecution of a mother for the murder of her new-born babe. The child was a bastard. There was evidence sufficient to authorize a finding that the child was born alive, and that the mother killed it by inflicting injuries upon its head. No error of law is complained of. The refusal of a new trial will not be reversed.

Judgment affirmed.

Fish, O. J., absent. The other Justices concur.
