SHOCKING TREATMENT OF A PAUPER SERVANT
Gltic.—At a meeting of the Greenwich board of guardians,
held yesterday, Mr. Cowen presiding, • letter was read
from Mr. Wilton, surgeon at the Sutton district schools,
describing the horrible condition of Sarah Waight, aged
15, belonging to the Greenwich union, who hail returned
to that establishment after being in service to a family
residing at Wandsworth. Mr. Wilton states that on
Sunday evening last he was called to see the girl, whom
he found sitting by the fire, complaining of cold, tool of
feeling sore all over her body. She was in a very prostrate
condition, and was removed to the infirmary, where it
was found she was much emaciated, the body being a
I mere skeleton, and extremely dirty. She states that
during nine months she was in her situation she bad
scarcely any food except bread and water, and bail to
sleep on a mattress in the kitchen ith no other
covering than • small quilt. There were scratchos
an her face, crewed by ber mistress, she said, beat-
ing her, and • large bruise on the right shoulder
from the same cause. There was a sore on each buttock.
and the skin was shrewd in three places over the dorsal
vertebrae ; and also three weals on the left thigh, and mark
of • burn on the breast She states that 14 days after
1 entering the service her mistress commenced heating her,
and was in the habit of striking ber with fircii 008' clothes-
lines, and brushes, and that for two months ate bad been
kept without boots. Those she was wearing, and which
bad been given to her by her mistreu, bad to be cut from
her feet, when she was found suffering front severe chil-
blains on the ball on the great toe, and one also on each
heel. She states that during the nine months she received
no wages, and that on one occasion when a penny was
given to her, ber mistress took it away. When admitted
to the infirmary she was so ravenous that it was con-
sidered dangerous to give her solid food, and in Mr. Wil-
ton's opinion it will be • month before the unfortunate
creature is able to leave her bed. The board unanimously
agreed to • criminal prosecution against the girl's master
and mistress, under the act of parliament specially passed
for the protection of pauper children sent out to service,
and directed their solicitor and clerk to take the necessary
proceedings.
"THE IRIAiI REPUBLIc."—The riirk Examiner
contains the following amusing statement:—We have
been informed by a gentleman, who has rocently arrived
from America, and on whose veracity the strongest con-
fidence may be placed, that extensive transactions are
carried on at the opposite side of the Atlantic in the
bonds of the Iriab Republic. He informed us that he was
present in New York when property in the neighbourhood
of Queenstown was sold to an enterprising Yankee, in
anticipation of its one day falling into the hands of the
Fenian, who consider themselves the rightful owners,
and be was aware many other properties in the county of
Cork changed hands on the prospects of the liberation of
Ireland.
