BABY-FARMING CASE AMAZING REVELATIONS IN FRANCE SENATE TO TAKE ACTION. (By Telegraph.— Press Association,— Copyright,) (Received December IS, 9 a.m.) PARIS, 14th December. There are amazing revelations as the result of the police enquiry into the baby-farming case at Montargis. Letters and papers seined show that the agency had dealings with 15,000 women, with whom it came in contact by means of advertisements and agents in provincial towns. A man and two women accomplices have been arrested. Three houses belonging to the organisation have been discovered in Paris. A dead servant girl's case revealed the whole matter to the police. It seems that women received drugs through the post, and subsequently came to Paris to have an illegal operation performed. The Senate will shortly discuss a Bill regularising lying-in hospitals, and making midwives' complicity in abortion cases a criminal offence. The Bill will also include a clause dealing with drug advertisement's, also those publishing recommendations. . Abortion statistics reveal an alarming prevalence of this practice. 1
