Diale, woman who occupied room on ehe

oWn, one or two ntghta consecutiye1y had
child In herroom, which MAekay. knew By
hearing 1t CRY. She spoke to the woman about

Her tellow-lodger replied TINT hhe had received
It rom woman named Andrews, who had In
formed Ier that she had received 1t from .
that the woman in question lett the house
lew dsys Afterwards, and she since knew moth
Ing about her. Slight as this clue appeared.
Brett worked upon It, and by dint OF perse.
Ye1ance, he ultimately discovered that the
child his informant heard CRY was the one
accomplished without great labor and some
dAngeT. The belief at first Was that the child
had been "dropped" upon come door step,
and had perished, and that it had been rescued
Mcrkhouee. Bretta primary inquiries were
directed to that point but he soon found it
to he er1oneous. He then directed his atten-
ton to the discovery of the woman Indicated
By Mackgy. He travelled from Court to Court
throughout St. Gless, and at length went to
Lane. In one Of the houses in this place he
discovered the woman Andrews, and he also
traced the child into Fer possession. After
searching various rooms, Brett proceeded to
sman apartment On the second aoor. IL Que
co5nsr lay ma1, neatly naksd, apparently IN
dying state, aud squa!t!ng all over the floor
Were several Tcms1 il n.oEt ragged aod
miserable condition. The Whcle place Was in
{ dreadful state, the Etench from the nth
beirg almost oTenoHering. On tbs f'or IL
this horrible den, Brett discovered the heir to
E14,0c0 z year-almost in state Of nudity,
aId covered with yernin and filth. No shoes
were on. his feet, and Only one dry rag eHve!-
oped lis entire body. The toes were terribly
Scared with the impressions Of NouHas.no
doubt inflicted by walking On stones; Wnile
the head and body generally showed nnmis-
taxable marks Of ncE13c: and IL usage. The
house from bottom to top appeared to be oc-
cupied by prostitutes and begga-7. Having
