ttese aboAes of misery, I admit, my tora, to be in-
excusable.

The Defendant's. Counsel asked the Witness,
whether SUsannah Archer was not temarkably slow
and defeElive in her work ?

....._. ..____.
. Lord KENYON.-I am not aware that any ntis_
conduCt in work would warrant the with-holding
proper food from a growing child—that is an irre-
parable-daMage. . .
The .ATTORNEY GENERAL.—T- cannot go into
the cases of the others, because the Indiament is
confined. to this single case—their backs would ex-
hibit the most afflifting scene.'
Mary Osborne.—Your. years ago I lived near the
Defendant. I .cannot answer for the whole .time
-the children were -there, I never went the inside
of the door; but as to-the ill treatment which they,
received,, lam positive of that, When they came
they were very fat 'and. jolly, but- afterwaids they
became very thin: I gave them food severartimes,
but -I could do, nothing more for, them. ' I had a
hog-trough,.and I.do. not dOubt the children picked
out of it;, but I ne7.rer saw..that done myself,-al=
though. I have Been 'told of it by-other's who did see
it. I have heard them cry out repeatedly.,
Robert May.—When the child 'Russel, Who made
her ese.tpe, came to Greet-with and Made her 'coin
..plaint., I went with the Officer to .the hoUsesof the
Defendant Jiveaux, which was ou'the 2lst of Janu-
aryiast. I.,_s-aw'Susatinah Archer, there.- -I touted
them all working it: a very warm rooin. There
. were ten or eleven of ,hcnt The Overseer. &sited

to have a private examination of- ihem. We took
tlicin oat of tne room in order to question them as
vi the manner in Which they .had- been treated. I

~ccompanied them with the,Overseer to a neigh-
bociiing Public-houSe. They appeared in a very
dirty state in their skin,"and their bones were very
prominent on their shoulders. They appeared very,
very thin. The Overseer gave them -some bread
and cheese, which
.they ate very eagerly and in
great quantity, and they would have ate More, - but
I was afraid of giving them too much. Their mas-
ter complained of the want of work, and he was
aware of the intention of our visit. The 'lodging-
room I did not see. They were very thinly clad,
and they shivered when they came into the air.—
They were very much. emaciated, .and they Were
veracious. On the 29th I went to see them again.
.I found them in the same
.state almost ; but they,
declared that since the first visit they had been fed
a little better. The Overseer was then provided
with a conveyance, and we went to a Magistrate at
Whitechapel, where the complaint was exhibited,
and the three children, bound from qreenwich
rish, were taken away.
Lydia Ford.—l lived next door to the Defendant,
at Stepney. I have heard the chjldren cry. out
for mercy several times ; I have ,eXamined• their
condition, to see whether they were fed ; have
turned their cloaths up, and taken them off their
shoulders, and - they appeared almOst,_sthived to*
death. 'I have given them many a bit or rituals
myself. I have seen one of them beaten very
much ; but what is become of her, I do not know.
I do not know whether she be living or dead..
Lord ICENYQW.—Were they allowed CO go out
of doors ?' A. Very seldom ; 1 did not see them;
sometimes, for a month.
Q. Did you ever see any marks on them ? A. I
have, as big as my finger, on their bodies ; and I
have shewn them to others, and have begged of
Gentlemen to let the Parish Officers know of it.
This was the whole of the Evidence, upon which
the Defendant was instantly found—Guiby. He
was then concluded •to Trison,, and afterwards

brought up.for judgment, of which proceeding we
gave a full account on the 24. th of June last; and
which we recommend to the perusal of those who
wish to see what the liaw of the Land is.. on this
most interesting subjed, as well as to learn what
measures have, in some places, been taken to :re-
medy some of these most inhuman abuses..

The Fire King, or Albert and . Rosalie, at -the
Royal Circus, St. George's Fields, .displays the ut=
most splendor, direded‘by taste and judgmeni ; to
the rendering still more impressive its various and
interesting Scenes, these are also powerfully aided
by the admirable Music of Reeve; and- the'
tigns of the favourite Pantomime of the British in
Egypt, with the surprizing Feats Of Horsemanship
by Master Saunders, attraa every evening a most
crowded Audience. We find, at the same time,
that a new splendid- Comic Pantomime, which has
been a long time in rehearsal, called The Eclipse,
or Harlequin in China; will be' very speedily pro.-
duced. • •
