Id following singular factklnay be re- lied on, as being literally true :--A few years ago, a tradeslnan of this town, hav- ing 0een unfortunate irl business, went to seslde in London, where he endeavoured Q commerce business again, but one of his. ;reiitors arrested and threw him into the Kings Bench prison. His wife was then eft entirely destitute, with family of young :hildren and another at the breast, and She. vas reduced to the greatest distress. A. s CT time, however, she managed sto hire little shop and barbour, as those dark ,ack holes in London are called, in oneof he. lowest streets in East Smithheld Here she tried to set up an eating g-housc, md sometimes she managed t8 get joint if meat, of the most ordiisy kind and lress for sale.
