concealment of birth A person who by any secret disposition of the dead body of a child whether it died before, at, or after its birth, endeavours to conceal the birth is guilty of a misdemeanour. On a trial of any person for the murder of any child, or for child destruction, or on the trial of a woman for infanticide, the jury, if they acquit of such charge, may find a verdict of concealment of birth. |
