CRUELTY TO A CHILD.—At an inquest held by
Mr. J. W. Payne, deputy coroner for the City, at the
Goldsmiths' Arms, Southwark, on the body of an infant,
aged two years, alleged to have died of cholera, the fol-
lowing gross case of cruelty was detailed :—The mother
of the infant was a street-walker, and she rented the
half of a back kitchen in a house in Rodney-street, and
in this miserable place—not large enough to admit a
bedstead—she lived with a man with whom she coha-
bited, and with her infant child. She was constantly
out, as was also her companion, and the child used to be
left locked in this den without any one to care for it for
many hours together. On Saturday, when the motherd
was out, a woman residing in the same house entered
the room through the window. The child appeaarcehdair
be dead, as it was lying quite motionless upon

a short time she ate it herself, giving the
liquor to the
child. The child was also to be placed in a warm bath,
which the mother also neglected. The mother used to
beat the poor infant iu a shameful mann, r, and often
wished it dead. W hen it died on Friday, she said,
" Thank God, my hands are free at last." (This wit-
ness has severely reprimanded by the Coroner for not
informing the police of the conduct and expressions
of the mother.) Mr. Rendell, a surgeon, proved that the
child died ut dtaraces. ; of course, the neglect it had ex-
perienced would be pr, judicial to it, but the noxious in-
fluences of the locality were such that he could not
venture to st,ite that the treatment the child had re-
ceived from its savage mother had caused death. The
Coroner having adverted to these facts and to the opinion
given by Mr. Hendell, the jury returned a verdict of
" Natural Death."
