the year 1872, lady in the same sphere of society,
by whom had issue two daughters: the eldest of
them (the unfortunate subject of this appcstion,)
now e years of age, was, from the age of three
months, brought up and educated in the first style
by her maternal grandfather and mother. At their
decease, about seven eight years since, she be-
came an unwilling inmate of her parents dwelling,
from which she contrived to get away with mar
ried man, and was not heard OF, having eluded the
efforts of the police to trace her, for many months,
until the receipt OF letter and tho Times newspa
per from Mr.. Darcy, our solicitor, at Newton ABB
bott in Devonshire, in which paper detailed and
humane account Of the distressing condition Of q

daughter, abounded with the most afro
cious talsehoods as detailed by herself at tho
Board Of Guardians of st. Lukes. NY wife, having
cousin Of the name to whom the solicitor suggested
it might apply, went to St. Luke's, and found our
daughter to be the person whose case had been de-
tailed in the Times, and on her being brought be-
fore them and her mother, she was then md there
convicted of deliberate talsehood and fraud, and
handed over to her mother Excrtions were then

sums of money, she escaped, and was again lost
sight OF for many months, when a gentleman, a
friend of the family, saw and gave her into custody
of the police who restored her once more to her af
| hicted parents. Her conduct from this period was
infamous in the extreme, and on her coming of age
she threw off all restraint, and having small house

to demonstrate; the result of which was that
we took her home, cleaned, clothed, and cared for
her. This lasted but n short time, and her recur-
