EXTRAORDINARY CASES OF AFFILLIATION. William
Jones, the son of the lady who keeps the Lord Raglan Hotel

at Tranmere, was proceeded aginst by Elizabeth Jones,
described as the daughter of respectable parents in Wright

street, Park, for the maintenance of her Child. Mr. Bitick
was for the defence. This case arose out of the shocking
scenes of debauchery and profligacy that annually take
place at Whitsuntide, at Tranmere, called the wakes, and

and which are not only a disgrace to the whole 'locality, but
invariably bring disgrace and ruin upon hundreds of females
yearly. It is truly astonishing that the magistrates and
police of the district do not put a stop to these ',wakes, which
they em do, if they please ; and it is hoped that this hint
