fore Mr Knox with creating a disturbance at St. James's
WorkhouQe, and alto with ,satil+ir,g k,sto of the inmates.

The prisoner went to St. James's Workhouse, having a
child with her, at two o'clock this morning, and asked for
admission. She was immediately admitted to the casual
ward, but had not been there more than three quarters of
hour Alen she created a great disturbance, dragging a wo-
man named Connor out of bed, and striking and scratching
her, and then setting to and abusing all the women in the
ward, using the most disgractf al language. The gate porter
(Bristow) was called to quell the disturbance, there being
quite a riot going on, when the prisoner abused him, and
at last was compelled to be given bate custody. The prisoner
had been admitted to the workhouse three times during the
past three weeks, and each time created a great disturb
ante through her quarrelsome temper.
Mr Knox said he did not see why the poor creatures in
the workhouse were to be knocked about and annoyed by a
woman like the prisoner, and committed her for a month,
with hard labour,
