Alleged Cruelty.

1 he report then stated:
There is lady physician in this house
whose horse became frightened at load of
barrels and ran away. The driver losing
one rein, was dragged some rods holding
onto the one line, but was not severely
hurt. Some man near stated that the horse
was numerically whipped, and complained
to policeman, who arrested the driver.
Inc lady, with some spirit said: You can
not arrest that boy; he is my driver He
did not whip the horse at all The police
man said: But / must arrest him, as he
mas been complained Of She protested and
followed them to the next corner where
they met friends who identified her and
the policeman let the boy go. The lady had
her horse brought up and said to the com
palmer: Now, sir, please point out the
welts on that horse made by the whip but
he could not, and skunk away in shame
Perhaps he was after reward.
Scores, and even hundreds. of cases have
been looked into by the agent of This So
ciety d65 cases reported in six months).
and dozens of boys, and girls, too, have
been sent to their homes. One very bright
and polite little boy, called a gypsy, was
sent to his home in Pennsylvania, from
which he had been absent nearly three
years. Since the day he was carried away
by band of gypses not word had been
heard from him at his home. How would
justice have been promoted by sixty or
ninety days in jail for him?
Il have here a letter from a physician
VINO had been in the United States but a
few months-who has been arrested twice
and proved entirely innocent of the alleged
crimes, and whose thankfuiness is yery
hearty.
Sad, indeed, are the cases of girls hurled
into court and accused of crimes they
never committed; of little boys pleading
guilty, with no idea of what it means I'M
less these children have some friend who
will inquire into their cases, and as long as
the reputation and advancement of police
men is made to depend upon the number Of
cases they bring into court, there is posi-
bility of very great injustice, both to the
young people concerned and TO the public
well. Criminals of the worst sort are
produced by being wrongly committed to
Jail, in the first place, and shut up with no
possible thing to do, day after day as in
our jail, except to listen to the stories of
older ones hardened in crime.
