the infant which (kleinlaut now held in her arms. Complainant,
on discaveriog the intrigue, turned the defendant out of dons, awl
her husband soon followed, lavishing on her that money which
should have suppurted his family. Complainant said the assault
muse out of a visit which the defendant had paid to the coat-
, plainant's husband. If, said the complainant, that brat really be-
longs to my husband, why dues she not swear it to him, and by
that means oblige him to keep it ?
" Will your Worship bear me?" said the defendant eagerly: 4I
have no friend to take my pan, and I throw myself entirely upon
your justice. The complainant is a vile woman, 'the added,nearly
choaksd by her excess of reeling—" it as she who first seduced and
ruined mc fur tlcf."

do you mean by saying that she seduced you r
• 1...0 shall bear, your Worsh,p," said the defendant. This
woman, this Mrs. I;esijamin, is the keeper of a brothel. It was
she who brought sue to her house, under pretence of procuring me
asitoation, and her husbaud—the villain—having made me in-
tosicated one night, effected my ruin." The defendant then
went on to state, that about a year ago, as she and another

dance." '• In an evil hour we consented to go with her," added

purpose fur which we were wanted, and left the houses She is
since married ; but I having no friend to whom I could apply for
protection, remained in this infamous woman's house; but as Goo
is my judge, although fressendy urged to prostitute myself fur
money, I never could consent to do so; and but -for her husband,
I had never known shame." _ _ _
