THE NEW LAW FOR BRUTAL HUSBANDS.—A case was
brought before the magistrates at Manchester on Thurs-
day exactly such as was contemplated by the Legislature
in passing the new law. John Egan, a strong, active,
but dirty and dissolute shoemaker, living in Dyke-street,
was charged by the sanitary inspectors, Gifford and Wil-
son, with brutally beating his wife and three children.
They had received information the night before that
after turning out his wife, he had beaten his children and
left two of them locked up without food, saying he
would starve them. The officers were induced by the
I representations of the neighbours to break open the door
of the house and take the two eldest children, whom
they found there, to the workhouse for shelter. The
eldest child, a boy 12 years old, w
court, and presented aasplaced before the
pitable spectacle. He was lite-
rally covered with bruises, which his father, he said, had
inflicted by kicking him. A black mark encircled the

instead of a chair, until its spine had grown shockingly
deformed. The wife said she had for a long time lived a
life of hide-and-seek with the brute she called husband,
being continually obliged to seek for shelter from Ifs
violence in the houses of neighbours, and hide in entries
and round corners. One of the husband's modes of tor-
turing her was to twist some short instrument in her
hair and drag her about the hon e. The prisoner ad-
mitted that, when at work, he could earn from 20s. to
235. per week, but that he did not work because his
wife neglected her part, which was to bind the shoes.
The wife described him as seldom working more than
two hours at a time, spending most of the day in drink-
ing, and said, the children had long been nearly starved,
but she had not dared to tell the police from a fear that
she would be worse beaten than before. Mr. Maude,
the chairman of the bench, said this was fairly a case
which came within the new act of Parliament, and one
which called for the full penalty of the law. He should
sentence him to six months' hard labour, and his wife
and family must be taken into the workhouse mean-
time.
