THE KIDNAPPEES !—The greatest alarm has been
caused in maternal circles by painful rumours of number-
less and cruel cases of kidnapping which have occurred in
Liverpool dUring the last few nights. One poor child was
said to have been stopped in the public streets by a woman
who dexterously placed a pitch plaster over its mouth ;
that the act was witnessed by a man who was passing ;
that he immediately rushed to the child's rescue, and,
with some difficulty, tore the plaster off the child's face,
pulling the skin away with it; but that the mouth and
nostrils had been so completely and closely covered that
the child died from suffocation. Everybody has heard of
the "three black crows," and most men in their experience
have known instances of the power of exaggeration pos-
sessed by marvel-mongers. These horrid reports about
" burkers" and " kidnappers" have sprnng from a very
ridiculous origin, which was simply this :—The
