were the isenc. For gow-

.00 a year to keep the children,
when the annuity was reduced, and 4i.

then undertook the education of the young
£lBO a year. That continued until the nth inst., w.
young ladies went to reside with their mother, who wishe,..
to have possession of them. They had since been tamed
away, but all they required was protection, and for their
mother to find a home for them.

The three young ladies were in court, and attracted con-
siderable notice. They are tall, fine-looking young women,
and appeared to conduct themselves with great propriety.
The complainant, Frances Elizabeth, aged 18 years, was
examined while her sisters remained inone of the ante-rooms.
She said she did not know her right name. She had been
called Ackford and Tollemache. She and her sisters went
to reside with their mother on the sth inst. Her mother
told them the house belonged to her nephew, and that they
could not remain. They continued to reside with her until
the 19th, when the defendant said she would not keep
them any longer, and that they must go to their father.
Two of them had not any dinner on Sunday, and nothing
to eat until the fell -wing day, when they obtained it at the
house of a friend to whom they applied for protection.
On the Monday witness met with an accident in one of the
bedrooms, which annoyed the defendant, and while she
was stooping on the stairs to arrange the carpet defendant
kicked her in the back. She then desired witness and her
sisters to leave the house, but they refused to go. Defen-
dant then brought a knife and threatened to cut them down
if they would not leave the house. She told them that they
were tools of their father, and that they should not stop in
the house. Witness add her father did not allow her (de-
fendant) £3O a year to support her nephew's child, upon
which she became very much enraged, and turned them out
of the house.

Another daughter, Elizabeth Frances, was examined, and
gave confirmatory evidence.

Mr. Taylor, barrister, who appeared for the defendant,
also went into details of the connection with Lord Hunting-
towef Ord defendant, and read an agreement between the
parties, by varich his Lordship undertook to pay defendant
£6O a-year, and to maintain and educate two of the children.
There was a subsequent agreement with respect to the third
daughte?. Ho referred to recent law proceedings in the
Court of Corrimes Pleas, in which the defendant was suc-
cessful; and said the young ladies had been sent by Lord
Huntingtower to their mother for the purpose of annoying
her. The defendant told them that the house did not belong
to her, and that if they stopped they must do something fer
their living, but they would not work.
In answer to a question by the Magistrate, the complainant
said that before they went to their mother's residence they
had been staying at Eagle HOW e.
Mr. Andrew, the clerk, said Eagle House was a Catholic
establishment at Brook-green.

VV
Mr. Taylor said he pitied the young ladies, who had been
educated for a different position front that in which they
were now placed. They had told the defendant that they
were informed by their father that she was paid for keeping
them, and they were not to work. He also stated that the
defendant denied the charge and complained of the conduct
of her daughters.
Mr. Ingham said it was a very painful case, but as Lord
Huntingtower was not present he should not be justified in
making any comment. He thought, however, that the young
ladies were to be pitied. Ho then bound the defendant over
in her own recognisances to keep the peace towards her
daughters,
