MARLzonimcn-sTiinri.-Ys,terday a cause of
the most unparalleled barbarity was heard before
the Magistrate of this office.
(Pm.. Marlbor'ough. and Ann, his wife, were
charged with starving almost to death, their intant
daughter, aged six years,' together with a series of
other atrocious cruelties, hardly to be equalled, even
in the history of Mrs. Brownrigg.
-It appeared ini evidence, that the Prisoners keep a
potatoe-warehouse,. in Goodge-street;, Oxford-road,
and that the little. complainant is the offspring of a
former marriage of the husband's. F'or reasons on-
kno An, even to themselves, these uhfeeling parents
inflitted the most cruel hardships on the unhappy
child ;. frequently, and for 24 hours at a time;
did they abandon• her to the cravings of hun-
ger, without a morsel of bread to support her ten-
dcr frame. The apartment to which she was'con-
signed to pass the dreary night,- was a cellar under
ground, where pigs and potatoes were kept. A heap
of rabbish, and a potatoe ,ack„ formed the couch
on which she •was- accustomed to lay her emaciated
limbs to rest But this, however, horrible to relate,,
was not the worst of her sufferings. By way of
wholesome chastisement, it was their constant prac7

quire into the cause of the frequent mournful groans
which echoed. frOm the Prisoner's cellar. •-Means
were found to interrogate the little brother of this
untortunate child, and from him they• -learnt the
barbarous treatment his sister had experienced. On
a sudden, thy recital of her wretchedness excited,
the neighbourhood to rise against the authors of her
sufferings.; a considerable number of the•inhalsitants
went in a body to the Prisoners' house, and demanded
the child to be delivered - Lrhis they retuned to
do, when the party, no longer able to restrain the
,calls of humanity, tushed into the house, and after
'a good:deal of search, found the wretched infant
concealed under-a bedstead, almost 'famished with
