CRUEL TREATMENT OF A GIRL.—A poor German girl
who has been in England only a few months, and has but
the slightest knowledge of the language, came to this court
and besought the magistrate's protection. She said she had
been living as servant in a family in Oakley-crescent,
Chelsea, but, in consequence of the violent conduct of her
mistress, she left her situation last Sunday, and wont to
lodge in Manor-street, from which she had been suddenly
turned into the street without any cause. Her mistress
camo to her lodging this morning, and having told hor land-
lady that she was dishonest and had robbed her, and, the
landlady believing it, said she should stay no longer in the
house and turned her out. She solemnly declared that she
had never robbed her mistress, and that there was no pre-
tence for saying that there was.

Mr. Arnold asked her if she could not get anothor
Lodging ?

The poor girl burst into tears, and said that sho was a
stranger in this country and perfectly friendless. She
could not walk the streets and did not know what to do.
Mr. Arnold said that it was very cruel conduct to this
poor girl, and the law would teach the mistress a useful
lesson if put in force. Ho sent the poor creature to the
German Society for redress.
