Inhuman Conduct of a Father.

A shocking instance of cruel parental treatment has just
been brought before the Buxton bench of magistrates. A
blacksmith named Samuel Vanes, residing at Doveholes,
three miles from Buxton, was charged with ill-treating his
daughter, a young woman 22 years of age. Inspector Shaw
stated that, from informatics received, he went to prisoner's
house last Thursday, in the front room of which upstairs
(which was in a most filthy state), he found the young
woman in a pitiable condition. She was fastened to the bed
by a rope, having her hands also tied together. Her only
attire was a man's shirt, and she presented a very wretched
appearance. Her father coming in, the superintendent or-
dered him to immediately release her, and having procured
a cart, the officer took her to the union workhouse of Chapel..
en-le-Frith. From subsequent information it appears the
poor girl was confined only about a fortnight ago ; that she
had no medical attendant on the occasion, and since then
scarcely the bare necessaries of life, and that her mind had
become partly affected. Several witnesses corroborated the
fact of her being ill-treated, and said they had frequently
seen Vanes whip his daughter, and that he, in fact, pur-
posely kept a whip to do so ; that on several occasions (the
defendant having locked the outside door) screams were
heard by the neighbours, who, on looking through the win-
dow, saw him throw several cans of water on the girl, which
ran in a stream outside from under the door. In defence,
the prisoner pleaded that his wife was very ill, that he had
a large family, and when he went to his work he was forced
to tie his daughter up, to keep her out of mischief; that
what ho did was for the best, the water having been thrown
upon her by the doctor's ,order. The Bench commented
very severely upon the prisoner's harsh and cruel treat-
ment, and sentenced him to two months' imprisonment.

These admirable Pills address themselves at first to expel
all taints from the vital fluid, and in the second place to
restore regularity and harmony throughout the organs of
assimilation, secretion, and excretion. Holloway's Pills
improve the digestive capability of the stomach and
.gradually give it strength enough fairly. to appropriate any
ordinary food when wholesome in quality and moderate in
quantity. These Pills act beneficially on the liver, kidneys,
and bowels, and so constitute themselves the protectors of
