TIIAMES.—SIIOCKING DEPRAVITY IN A Gutt..—A
poor and neatly-dressed woman, who was sobbing loudly,
and who appeared to be labouring under the most intense
anxiety and grief, came before Mr. Selfe with a girl ten
years of age, her stepdaughter, and said the child was so ob-
durate, so hardened in sin, that she could do nothing with
her, and, as a last resource, determined to appeal to the
magistrate.

Mr. Selfe—What has this girl dote?
Applicant—She has robbed her poor father, who is a hard-
working man, continually. Yesterday morning she robbed
us of 2s. 9J., all the money we possessed in the world, and
remained out until 12 o'clock last n;g,ht. I ha-ve obtained
three situations for her, and she has robbed all her employers,
and has declared that she will go upon the streets and lead
a dissolute life.
Mr. Selfe—What Is her tither?

Th 3 applicant—A dock labourer, and be works very hard,
sir.

Mr. Selfe—Do you send her to seheol ?

The applicant-ZI have sent her to many schools, and she
has been dismissed from them dll with disgtace. She is
naturally depraved, and very wicked.
Mr. Selfe—Have you any children of your own?
The applicant—Yes, one, sir, fire years old; and this girl
has endeavoured to corrupt her little sister.
Mr. Selfe—lt is a shocking case. Do you hear what your
mother says, little girl ?
The question was repeated half-a-dozen times before the
obdurate girl drawled out, " Yes, sir." The magistrate then
delivered an impressive lecture on the wickedness of her c.)n -
duct, and advised her stepmother to give her into custody if
she ever committed a robbery again, and be would send her
to prison, and afterwards to a reformatory school for five
years.
