TOWN-HA LL.
On Thursday a respectable-looking woman, {►i'et,
Ann Clarke, made the following statement to

Alderman J. J. SMITH :

She said that an unfortunate female, in the
year of her age only, whom she had known for 50'00
time, came to her house about a week since With
infant six months old in her arms, the fruits, of
illicit amour, imploring shelter, having returned, d
she said, from a journey to the north in search k
the child's father. She was destitute, and she of r
her in from sheer motives of humanity, affording net
every relief her humble circumstances admitted °;
The following day she made her case known to
officers of the parish she resided in (St. .09:
Horslydown), who not only then, but several tin; 0
since, refused all relief, but threatened her with tflog
pains of the treadmill, and the penalty of 501' Ler
harbouring her. With all these terrors before ij
she refused to outrage humanity by thrusting thelti
happy creature, at the point of death, as she helieq d
and her innocent offspring, from her door, and covet
the Alderman's interference. This was her statetnell;
Alderman J. J. SMITH, in consequence, ordereur
Mr. Newman, the principal clerk, to address a let
to the overseers of St. John's parish, recommendint
immediate attention to the case with the infortnati°4
that if their negligence should be attended with $l4.
serious result, they would be held answerable' t1:1,
with this, Kinsey, the officer, was intrusted, wit,-0
strict orders to investigate the truth of the woman
statement.
Yesterday morning Kinsey reported to gr. —Ars
derman ANSLEY (put in possession of the perilcu.
lars), that he saw the mother and child last evening!
in the presence of the parish officers, who left ow'
shilling for their support. lie considered the
ther the time to be at the point of death, andol
pressed such to be his belief. That morning lust
fled his apprehensions—he found her a corpse !1°
his belief, and the belief of all who saw her misert'i
remains, was, that she died from want of need.°
attention, her remains being little more than
skeleton of the human body.'
The woman Clarke then presented herself, WJt
the infant child of the deceased in her arms, gin,
said, that the parish officers had sent a coffin Ins th
mother, it was true, but had told her that s
might do what she liked, with the child, they 'iff°llo,,td;
have nothing to say to it : and as she held It UP
the Alderman's view, prayed him, for the suite
the Almighty, to interfere.
We do not exaggerate when we say that
ALDERMAN shuddered and exclaimed, " Tht !-
shocking indeed !" and in conjunction with the'e„,
ings of all present, ordered an immediate 81;00;
to be issued for the attendance of the parish once
