Writ De Ventre Inspiciendo Sought In Fraud Case Involving Mrs Brown
The Solicitor General seeks the Writ De Ventre Inspiciendo to probe whether Mrs. Martha Brown, alleged to be pregnant by the late Henry Arthur Fellows, is carrying a child. The petition claims lands valued at 4,000 pounds yearly and a will attaching a 10,900 pounds inheritance for a future child. The court weighs equity, midwives to inspect, and potential fraud by Brown, who is said to have profited from forged child claims amid extensive residences linked to alleged ill fame.
