SHOCKING CRUELTY TO A aHILD. Irisspc-ctor James, of tihe Nation?. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, cb&rjyed Elizabeth Collin?, a married woman, of CaLifomia-souare, St. Asaph, with aiifgC'Dct- in/r a. cluld named Arme Marmooi, o^cd one y«if <°.aid tcJi months. Mr Joseph Lloyd. who appeared to prose- cute, aaid the child, wltifoh was the snsbjeet of the c!iarg>e, was illegitimate, end had for 12 or 13 weeks been living with the defendant, who received 1., per week for its care, 'flic defendant had two obildnon of bear own. It was found tha.t the child was in a very om- ao'ia.tcd condition: its logs m crooked throwg-h bad nursing, .and its tody was cover- ed with filth. The child was found crouohcd up in a box, which was in a. d-epIcrahLe atato, and iitt-tt-ead of weighing about 2^Lbs. it only weighed 911s. However, eince the ohi-ld had foe>e;n ivmov-cd to tiie WoTkhou. it had put 0:1 flush to the extent of about lib. per week. lie thought it was only fair to the derfecKlaiit to say that it was not known whether the case was one of improper feeding or not, but whatever was the C'l'l<Se of the child's wciak stat?, there could bo no excise for tho filth :,n which it was found. The Magistrates' Clerk asked if th-cne wrs any comparison Txtwcon the child and the 3. fltCiduTrt s own ahlldirten ? Mr Lloyd replied that there was, but did not propose to ask questions on tha.t point, that L- K1. subject of com-meiiit. The said he would ccirtainily put the question if Mr UOovd did mot do so. as it was an import-am t matter. Dr. Heap, St. Asaph, said he wss cafltcd to the defendiatnit's bouse on Ootobor 6t.11 to ex- amine the ohild. He found it in an extremely dtaHicinfeed condition, aad extremely weak. He waighed the oh Id, and found it was only 1 91 bs., whereas the usoial weight of a child off t --t age would 00 about 24jbs. was no organic about thochsld to acooitrsit for its oonditxra. He saw the p ace wlh<.>pr Mi-: dhiild slept. It wa.s a,n ordinary box, which was extrOTbaly dirty. There no cScthss, exo-spiJiSg -an old skirt or ooat at bottom of tlii" box, which was in a filthy cor.ddlian. He tforimd the opiician that the condition of the: child wstS due to one of two tilings cither lau ittesuffickffit quaontuty of food, whiah was starvation, or iimpioper foe-din, the tilled not receiving food which ait could dig-eat. He ,a w tho defendant's own children, and tihey were typically healthy chiLdr<em, and perfectly weil. The box where thie cihrM slept wxus wot in a fit condition for it, and the ik-ksclos of the thigh were cantnaiotiLd as the child had not eutlicierrt room itn whi-oh to stretch its legs. The fact tba-t th-Q ohild had improved ill coai- driition so m-udh since it had bcxai in the Work- liouso showed that it had OtXJl ili-fcd pre- viously. Inspector Jaias said he visited the defen- dauit's house in coneeq-uence of compel nLs, aud found the child in a fi.lt.hy condition. Thtere ware sores otot tl-. c, body, wihich WM covered with diit. Tthi&re wore tlea-bc/tos on the body, but lio saw no vermin. The oaiy cLathimg lie saw wais aai did skirt at the lxiU- tom ol thie box, amd a. shoat on the tQp, both of which were HI thy. He ordered the aiiiJd to be washed and dtvt^td, and that was done, before the doctor &1.W derfenda, ;t ■iidie a stoitcimieKiit to him, in which eihe at saiid had had the chilid between 10 •aid 13 weeks. 6ha sarid yhe was getting s per week tor Ioobintg afteir tlwe child ackl- Dig thiat it was not sufficient to feted and -loth Lt. He weighed t;he child, and had also ihad it wejgbed «me0 rut the Work/house. He found that in three weeks the cVM aaareescd iin. to the exteaJt of 4.^lbs., aaid during the past week it had added anothar lib., im- proving immenisic.ly. In reply to the Chairman, the Inspector said he saw the diefendianit's own children, who were healthy and strong, being above tile averag?. riliio D'fendiaiit elc-c.ted to give evidence on her own be»b«.Lf, and said sh-e ha.d fed tJw ohild as well as aha could, and gave it pienty of food. Itho gave it lite same 1L<; 'heir own chil- dren had, and trea,tod it exactly the dame, excepting that ilt did not get up so early. As ^bjardis cCotihinig aihe had to put her own chil- rLe.n'« clothes on tba child, as its mother had Hot given her A stituh of clothing since she luad caire of it. The Chau.rmaji How do you r.ccouat for the fact that the child was covered with vermin and was dÚ..nt.r? DeJbni&i.nt: It vn s cot covered with vermin. I luave no viermim in my house. The Chairman It was covered with flcra- bi.Ws? Defendant Yes, wa hav-e fleas. The I>afenidant that knew the eones were on ohild, but cJlie did not think it necessary to caiS in the doctor.
