ELOPEMENT AT THE LAMBETH WoRKHOusE. —...s
ome
gossip has been caused within the last few days 10 Lambeth,
by the elopement of a married female, named Hornblower,
with Newham, the porter, at Lambeth workhouse. For
some time past Newham had been observed to pay more than
ordinary attention to Mrs. Hornblower, the wife of a respect-
able parishioner, living opposite the workhouse. This cir-
cumstance reached the ear of Newham ;
's
wife, who caught
her husband enjoying the society of Mrs. Hornblower, and
laid violent hands upon her rival; for this she was taken to
the police-court, when Mr. Hornblower, who was present,
declared that he had the utmost confidence in his wife's
fidelity, and believed there was no truth in the accusation.
Soon after this Newham and Hornblower went off together;
and it bas since been ascertained that Mrs. llornblower has
obtained 2351., upon securities placed in her hands, to supply
the creature comforts for herself and her paramour, who has
left a wife and six children totally destitute.
A glutton at Kingsbriclge, Devonshire, ate for a
wager six pounds of bullock's liver, soaked in train oil, but
died a few minutes after he had completed his disgusting
task.
