AT. C. Elliot, and Lemtoro his wife, were charged with ill. treating their son, R. Elliot, nine years old, by keepieg him tied with a leather strap to a bedstead, quite naked, and vely often without a sutlitieriey of the common necessaries of life. Mrs. Lee, a genteel looking young woman, said, I 4111 0 widow, and the mother of two children. In the month of June last I went out us servant to Miss 'Matthews, to lodge itt the house of Mr. and Mrs. Elliot, in Fisher-sts eet, Lion-squere. About a fortnight after I eame there, while 1 was Husking up the bed, i heard a ere in sr l.int voice, as if from some person in shores*. 1 :smelled for a while, anti heard the same voice call out in A eery neon aid manner far a little iireail and water; not kill/wing that (hi re were any other persins• in the Itlame than those I had attcaliy seen, became alarmed, and was noxious to useertain from whom the voice lind proceeded. I went tip stairs, and beimd the same voice, Se if from a child in the upper garret. I looked in ihrongli the key-hole ; but /Venn the situation of the fOOlll. I could only eye a bedstead. I then called nut, and was rause toed by a child Ilion within. I asked what it wanted, 4,1:1 it answered, " Giv e me a little bread and a little water." Alarmed for the sitnetiou of the child, whom I supposed to have been neglected by the family, I went clown and conk, , indicated what I had heard to me mistress, mid by her per. mission, I weed down and told Mrs. Elliot (the mother) that child was up stairs calling out for bread. She said I was mistaken ; but I replied that it ermlil nut be, for I 111111 spoken to the child, who had told use it vitiated hired. 'l%, this she answered, "Oh 1 its my fool " She gave me no further es plauation then, and I was still in ansiuty alma the situ:dims of the child, and was lotto snit' to have a view of it. I believe it was the next day, or the day after, that I saw the brother of die child go up stairs. I followed him, and f mud that lie was going to the attic, where the young child was confined. When I saw him open the door I asked to be ail.. milted; bat lie refiiscrl,saying his mother would be displeased if she found that any person hot those of the family were to see Ism. I still persisted, and forced lily way lulu the room, where I beheld a speciar le that finite shocked me.

After this I 64400011 y bentd she e! titt i ery,a4 it some person was beating it; 1111-411 11,4,11 ttle Sl/11111:11 Of ships, at it gisfea to it; but they slid not seem to be severe, nor 14 It give'. with any improper weapon: I ..new lite his brother Anil sister frequently beat him. When asked whether she had ever spokeu to :llrs.

I'o this she replied." that woold cost mu too notch." 1 asked her how lunch it would cost; and she answered it would cost .24. or 3s. a week, and that would do at home. I very often gave bread and meat to give to the child, but I found that be never got any of it t and I :u saw her give it to her other children, and eat some herself. I one day beard the little boy crying very bitterly, nod calling for bread, on which I went down to Mrs. EWA snit said, your child is crying for something to eat, pray do let it !circa little. To this she replied, "Oh! hang st, 1 wish it was dead ; 1 could cut its threat if I dare I" When. ever 1 SIW the child, it wa. always ill the same looked and filthy slate in which I saw it on the first occasion. To this evidence the stillness udded her belief that the father of the child was not couszimis of All the treatment it received, tat that when he was spekeu to about it, be sold it should have whatever it wanted.
