In a similar instances a wagon weighing 1200 pounds passed over a child of five, with no apparent injury other than a bruise near the ear made by the wheel.
Infant-vitality is sometimes quite remarkable, a newly-born child sometimes surviving extreme exposure and major injuries.

There was a remarkable instance of this kind brought to light in the Mullings vs.
Mullings divorce-case, recorded in The Lancet.

It appeared that Mrs.
Mullings, a few hours after her confinement at Torquay, packed her newly-born infant boy in a portmanteau, and started for London.

She had telegraphed Dr.J.S.Tulloch to meet her at Paddington, where he found his patient apparently in good condition, and not weak, as he expected in a woman shortly to be confined.

On the way to her apartments, which had been provided by Dr.Tulloch, Mrs.Mullings remarked to the Doctor that she had already borne her child.
