Mr. Parkins Jones. the r.liev.ng officer of Fulham, at-

Mary Groguin, and her two Lhildren, for the purpose of

Upon the woman being placed in the boa and sworn, it
was evident that she was unwilling to be paned. She

but she did not know what perish. It wes in the county of

Mr. Jones—l should like ta have your worship's opinion,
Of I hey* now three or four similar cues in the workhouse
waiting to be removed.
Mr. Ingham—l'll tell you my opinion which is the same
as I gave to the House of Commons. I think after a per-
sore has beet from Ireland 24 years, as in this case, he be-
comes as much en Englishmen at those who have been born
in this country. There is no doubt that it is herd for the
parishioners to be blanketed with three people; bat on the
ether band, there is extreme cruelty in passing them to
their native country after so many years absence.
The woman and her children were then taken back to the
worthouse.
