Baby

Age: 5 weeks

Sex: male

Date: 26 Jun 1897

Place: Seven

A 5-week-old baby died after 7-year-old brother threw a knife at his mother who was nursing the baby.

He appeared at the Northampton Assizes but the jury threw out the bill and the judge refused the child to be allowed to be brought forward on the coroners warrant, stating that no one could be tried twice for the same offence.
