A FACTORY OVERLOOKER'S CRUELTY.—A
most brutal and disgraceful outrage was committed on a
factory girl named Esther Hill, aged eighteen, working at
Taylor's factory, Mixenden, Overden, near Halifax, by
an overlooker, named Joseph Sykes. The girl was
striving with another, working in the same part of the
factory with her, at what is called " doffing," and having
finished doffing before her comrade, she looked at her
and smiled. On the ovcrlooker seeing this, he instantly
attacked her with his fists, beating her on the head till she
fell, and, as she lay on the floor, kicked her with his feet,
with the ferocity of a savage, leaving the marks of the nails
of his shoes on her side ; the girl crawled out of the factory
and made towards her home, keeping herself on her feet
by holding on the walls by the side of the road. On
reaching home she was put to bed (which up to the
present time she has kept); this happened on the 15th of
June, and on the following Monday, the girl getting
no better, a medical gentleman was sent for, who, on seeing
her, considering the case dangerous, refused to administer
any medicine, and advised them to send for the factory doc-
tor, which was instantly done ; he arrived in a very short
time, and considered her life to be in danger from inflam-
mation in the head, caused, no doubt, by the bruises she had
received. On Thursday the doctor came again, along with
the factory inspector, who, on leaving the girl proceeded to
the factory, and after the examination of several witnesses,
found the above statements to be correct. On Saturday,
the 22d inst., the factory doctor, along with Mr. Thomas
Hodgson, of Halifax, surgeon, and the inspector paid an-
other visit, and the girl, it is said, is likely to recover—per-
haps to receive the same treatment again, should such vil-
lainy be allowed to go unpunished; for when villains es-
cape without punishment it only makes them more cruel.

tions in all cases of sudden death would prove of great
utility. For instance, if one had been made in the present
case, the precise cause of death could bo clearly
pointed out to you, and then you would not only be en-
abled to return your verdict without a shadow of doubt, but
if any of you were of a similar constitution with deceased,
you would, if' it were proved that the supper and porter
ho took accelerated his death, have an example whereby
to regulate your own diet. If post mortem examinations
were general they would act as a great, preventative to
crime. The poisoned cup would seldom or never be used
by the dependent relation or the impatient legatee, if it
were certain that a dissection after death would take place,
by which the poison would infallibly be detected. As
matters now stand, post mortem examinations tend to east
a stigma on innocent families ; for, supposing that five or
six cases of sudden death should ()Four in one neighbour-
hood, and that the jury should require but one post mortem
examination, their so doing would show their suspicion of
one party whilst it freed from all guilty imputation the
other parties who may not be a whit more 'innocent."
The jury concurred in the views of the Coroner, but
having no doubt on their minds as to the cause that led to
the present inquiry, they returned a verdict of " Natural
death."
