WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAB
A young woman, named Sophia Fells, residing nitrate
court, Princes-street, Whitechapel, applied to the Megi:0101
for his assistance under the following somewhat pvi'
circumstances : Der
The applicant stated that, about a fortnight sincelos'
child was accidentally scalded, and was in consequence°
veyed to Vie London Hospital, where it expired from °boil/
juries it had sustained, in a short time afterwards. The
*joy,
of the child was subsequently removed from that instiO' pot
to her residence, in a coffin purchased by herself, butfoo
having the requisite means to bury it, she had applied Viol'
parish authorities, who, however, refused to take any elri $
sauce whatever of the matter, and the body was nevi
state of decomposition.
Fitzgerald, a warrant officer of the court, was directed itil,„;
mediately to accompany the poor woman to the relied
overseer of the parish of Spitalfields. In a short tiinecir
returned to the court, and stated that he had seen Mr. 'oe
layson, the relieving overseer, who said that the reasoli eot
parish had refused to purchase ground, &c., for the intero,;or(l
of the body of the child was, that if the parents could a'3oos
coffin to buy a they could also pay 'the other exlN]ture
attending the interment ; it would have been a depai nes,
from their general rule. However, the magisterial sekuja
tion should be attended to, and the body of the child st.°
be at once interred in a proper manner.
