Lord Mayor, who he was convinced, would interfere to prevent

tion. Soon after the birth; the pariah, to whose care the father
thought proper to eutruscher, and to, which he had given the
turn of 100 guineas as a recorupence, put her into the hands of
the Complainant, to. whom they allowed a certain weekly sum
for her maintenance. That allowance sustained some time ago
a coneiderable diminution, but the attention of the affectionate
nurse increased in proportion. The parish officers observing
the strength of the attachment calculated, and they gave them-
selves credit for their sagacity, that an attempt upon their part
to drag the child from her friend would have the . effect of rid.
ding them altogether of. the burthen. They accordingly came
to a resolution at a vestry tO take the chim —. into the house, as
they call it; a proceedingby,which nil the advantages which

The LORD MAYOR requested to know why, an
allowance had been made to the parish, and the woman had
acted so like a mother to ther child, the parish could think
,of poor
making a separation which must prove injurious to thachild,
and give great pain to the woman ?

that the fact was the parish wished to get rid of the expense of
suppo.rting the child, and they thought that the bat way of
effecting that was b threatening to put the child in the house.
The 4,ORD MAYOR reprobated this plain of economy. Be
considered it nothing less than a scheme for extorting moneYf
and expressed his surprise that so disgraceful a monomer!
should be adopted. Credit was due to those officers who wished
