NESS IN THE WORKHOUSE.
Maryr Ann Al(mutt, a flee, hearty-looking young woman,
dnaeed in the workhouse garb, was brought before Mr.
Comb* charged with coaveyieg a pint of gin into Bermond-
sey Workhouse contrary to the regulations, and whereby
She bad rendered herself liable to a penalty of 101.
The taskmaster attached to the workhorse said that yes-
terday afternoon the prisoner, with several other inmates,
received permission to leave the house to see her friends, as
is usual on Christmas-day. Early in the evening she re-
turned, and having some suspicion as to her conduct, he
directed her to be searched, when a bottle containing a pint
of gin was found on her.
Yr. Combs here asked how it happened that such a hearty
and strong-looking woman was in the workhouse, when st
wee so difficult to get domestic servants?
The prisoner rid that she bad been deserted by her hus-
band, who ran away from her and her three children. She
had no alternative but to enter the workhouse.
. .

The taskmaster said that the prisoner would not have
been given into custody, had not large quantities of spirits
being clandestinely brought into the workhouse, and
although every vigilance was need by the authorities, it was
almost impossible to detect them. tiiith the view of patting
• stop to such practises, the guardians considered that an
example must be made of some of them. All the inmates
were yesterday provided with an excellent dinner and •
pint of beer each, but somehow or other spirits got intro-
duced amongst them, and drunkenness ensued.
Mr. Combs ordered the prisoner to pay a penalty of fa.,
and in default of payment committed her for seven days.
Another female inmate was charged with being
and disorderly in the same workhouse.
The charge was fully made out, and the magistrate com-
mitted her also to prison.
