Mr. Lewis has four children ; two or three of his servants were occasionally left wills the children at his country house. When this was the case, the sole management of the children was left to the prisoner. Notwithstanding all the care which the parents themselves bestowed upon their children, they every day grew more weak and sickly. At length the cause was discovered. About six weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Lewis took their eldest daughter, about seven years old, to Pat is, and when there a few days she grew more lively, and one day in formed her another, that as she was not afraid now of being skinned alive," she would tell her something. The child then said that she and the other children, when they were at the country house, never had any milk, but were fed upon bread and water, just a little coloured with milk, and of that they had barely sufficient ; and that the prisoner was constantly beating them—and the threat of the ser vants was, that they would "skin them (the children) alive" if they ever told a word to their parents. Upon this intelligence, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis hastened home, and upon inquiry they learned that the paisimer had never taken more than one quart of milk per day, though she was ordeied to take three, and always charged in lea hills hilt hit ec.
