kid taken the unfortunate girl with him. On
Monday he accused her of 'telling lies, in
'eying that ship had been to St. Andrew's chain,
at which he and his wife were regular attendants, when
she had not. For this offence he took her to • back
room, and, in the presence of his wife, ordered her to
strip to the waist and lie on the floor. Having tied her
hands and feet and gagged her mouth he bastinadoed
her feet with • wooden ladle or spoon. Hs next
elrge,l her shoulders with a horsewhip, causing severe
wounds, and this ordered her to strip completely.
While in this state he again dogged her, and eiterwasils
rubbed her with turpentine, and washed her with salt

A Piccione " Bicrriii."—A Brampton shoemaker.,
an old married msu, belonging to • seat called
"Christian Brethren," hes been doused at Westininater
police-court with • poet assault on • pretty "sister,"
the wife of a printer. On Friday morning she went to
borrow a newspaper, when the old sinner told bey they
were oomm•ndel by the Scriptures to "salute the
brethren with • holy kiss," and she permitted him to
salute her, though she told him that although it might
be the anima then she did not think it was quite
proper now, sod in the evening, when she returned the
paper. be took further liberties with her. Mr. Self,
said the prhsoner was • disgusting old Sneer, who, under
the oink of religion. had been profaning Holy Writ to
suit his filthy inclinations, and ought to be kicked out
of society. He ought to be tented out of Onalow
Model Buildinp, as well as the church from
which the elders hail very prowl, expelled him.
He (Ur. Self.) did not think a jury would c .me
to the conclusion that he had accomplished
his purpose, and when he had taken some liberties
with her in the utomiog it would hove been more
prudent in the young women not to have repeated her
visit in the evening.—The husband mid if his wife had
thought prisoner a worldly man she would not have
none; but she thought what had occurred had been in
perfect innocence.-- Mr. Belle discharged the amused,
telling him if he had any sense of decency he would
go and hide him& If, and recommended him for the

About • month after I went there one of the
children named Agnes Lomax wee placed in the sink

water over her for being dirty. She is between 6 and 7
years of age. Since then she Imo always had her bands
tied behind or in front of her with string, and rue and
mustard have been rubbed in her. Bar hands have
been tied every night on going to bed. Mrs. Lomax
went ugetairs one evening to put her to bed with her
hands tied. Five minutes afterwarele she came down
tl me and said, "Good God, I think I have killed the
child r having pushed her down on her back. She
added that as she picked her op she hit beer on her
knuckles. I then went to the child and asked what wee
the matter, and she could not speak. Sher wits in the
corner of her bedroom, which is at the top of the house.
Her hands were then tied behind her. Mrs. Lomax
tams up son after. and hit her on her book with her
est. When I dres ed her the next morniegjeaw several
bruises on her. One night the child was stripped of her
elothing, her an& were fastened together, and she was
compelled to remain out of bed all night. I have ire-
qoently seen Mrs. Lomax strike the child with her

broken my hair-brush in hitting the child with it.
The child has had her townie pulled from between
her teeth. end thee Mrs. Lomax has hit her under
the chin no that she might bite t. Thistrestment often
occurred. Mr. Lomax treated the child with greater
kindness than Mrs. Lomax did. The child did not it,

had recently been in the service of Mrs. Lomax, also
gave • detailed account of the systematic ill-treatment
to whisk the chill bed heen subjected by the defendant,
which was similar in effect to theta the former wanes..
She added : She has also goads her pat her hand os a
table, and then struck her fingers with the handle of a
knife till the blood came from under her nails. Her
toes have been treated the same. When shakes bruised
the child, she has told me to out chloride of lime on her
to burn the bruises out, I did it ono. or twice before I
knew the nature of it. On one occasion I did not put
enough on, and then Mrs. Lomax rubbed some in
hermit, and called me a fool. Mrs. Loess told OM her
reason for ill-treating the child was because she was
afraid that Mr. tomes would die, end leers her more
than she wished him to. In oross-tsgansination the
witness denied that the oh Id had proper food; hot
