A woman with child, to wit, the wife of the other person, who interposed herself to succour her husband. No mischief follow, neither to the woman nor child; for it is generally so as to reach both, in case the abortive had life in it. The husband shall impose the fine, and if it be unreasonable, the judges shall have a power to moderate it.
