Mr. Smith reported the result of his Inquiries relative to
the two girls whose case was reported yesterday.
He said—l proceeded to Barnet by the 8 o'clock
train this morning, end produced to the super-
inteodent of the police there, a Mr. Richards, •
letter of authority to inquire into this matter, consequently
8 t Pope accompankd me in my search he the parentsorave&s:
young girls; but all in vain, for although we tramped
about in the wet for three hours sod a half, sod
went to two public-bowies called the Howse Shoes,
not any such name as Pedly could be heard of. I
therefore returned to London, certain that the girk
bad not been truthful in their statements, and fully
believing that they had journeyed further, ioasmucli
as Sergeant Pope expressed a strong assurance of having
seen these identical children pose through the tows
on the morning of Wednesday last. On rewiring this court
• short time sawn, I found the constable waiting for me
with them, and resolved, if possible, to ascertain the precise
truth. I took the youngest girl apart from the other, and
minutely questioned her; then, but with extreme reluctance,
she stated that which, from bar sister having since related
the same, I believe to be the truth. it was this :—That
their tams was "Pedly," as ant given, that their parents
resided at "Wanton is Bedfordshire," about 36 miles
from Lemke, and that ihey led left home unkeown to their
father and mother in eoesequerioe ofcruelty, and in-
sistiog on their going to service ; the younger girl men-
tioning the former motive, and the elder the latter one.
The girls were then questioned further, and in reply the
eldest declared (her sister crying all the time) that they left
their native village of Caddingtoo early on Tuesday morn-
ing with but one shilling and their bundle, that they
trudged on foot to Lutou, where the slept with their
cousin, Hannah Webb, and set oft for Barnet on Wednes-
day morning, sleeping that night at • private lodging house,
and paying eachtpence for the bed ; they renewing the
journey on the Tinandey with the intention to reach Lon.
don, but fioding as accomplishing the task that they
had only • few halfpence left, and becoming alarmed
at the multitude of persons, they determined to retrace
their steps to Barnet if possible, and while making inquiries
with a view of doing so, they were interrogated by several
persons, one gentleman kindly giving them • shilling
to assist them. It was at this juncture that Mr. Smith in.
terposel.
Mr. Knox observed that this was • singular specimen of
most determined night and falsehood, and that he should
again order tho girls to the workhouse under the charge of
the police until a communication was made to the con-
stabulary at Bedfordshire by Mr. Saiiced, Lire clerk of the
court.
