HoaRIBLE We copy the following from the
London correspondence ofthe Boston Post
\ most dlabollcal case has Just been reported
which shows to what desperate situation the low
er classes driven. 1t is certainly the most aw-
tul deed | ever heard of being committed among ci-
vilized people. 1t appears that there are "Phan-
thropic Burial Societles' in many towns in Eng
land, which pay certain to members for funer-
al expenses of deceased child. One of the rules
of the Stockport Burial Society is, that each mem
Der shall pay penny per week, and at the end of
seventeen weeks subscription become full members.
If child after that period die, the parents
titled to the of three pounds and twelve shil-
lngs and deductng one shilling and slXpence for
the collectors fee and two shillings 'tor liquor"
the net of three pounds eight land sx2ence
mains for the funeral expenses of the child. vt the
Chester assIzes, two married couples, whose aver
aged ages were only twenty-siX, were indicted
Their names were Sandys-and one couple were
charged with having administered arsenic to their
child, by which they murdered it. and the others
charged with being accessories TO the cr me
before and after the fact The deceased, with whose
murder they were accused was thus awlully killed
for the diabolical purpose Of obtaining the sum Of
three pounds eightand-sirpence from The Stockport
Burial Society
This is certainly the most shocking deed ever re-
corded. Parents reduced SO low IN misery that
every natural feeling Is bunted-destroyed-a
they sacrifice their offspring for bread This
tale is to shocking too believe, and yet II Is too we'll
authenticated to be dlshelieved-if such deeds
committed now, what dreadful ones remain to be
committed when the pinching wants of winter come
