A case Of peculiarly narrowing nature was brought
to the attention OF Judge Scott, ct Essex Market
yesterday afternoon. Edward Murphy, car con-
ductor complained that one Jane Kelly, residing in
Ridge street, near Delaney, the mother OF his Tile.
gumate cnd, had abandoned the infant TO its fate,
actually refusing it nourishment. The mother,
woman thirty years OF age, showing traces of
former comeltness, has been In o state OF
constant incsriati0n for the past two months. She
seemed utterly Indifferent and even caous to the
position Of herself and her offspring. Some three
months ago, In the course OF her mad and reckless
orgies. she had fallen on the child, causing frac.
The appearance OF the babe now hardly SIX months
old, was pitiful in the extreme lts little features
were pinched and weakened, tile effect OF long and
painful suffering. The Melancholy expression OF ts
sunken eyes APPEALED 10 the sympathy Of all In
court. The father offered 10 pay lts board In any
institution, but the Judge very properly committed
both mother and child TO the care OF the Commas
sioners VI Charities and Correction.
