A person who bad bees oh the tramp with the traveler and his second wife in Euglaad , proved that tie lady had exercised dominies is all things , leoiing upon the traverser bs her obedient slave . " The second wife
herself was-called for the delence . She was a wellfavoured J-eang woman , and when she appeared ob the table tfce following dialogue took place : — Traverse . —Did you list with me before the pretended marriage toot place ?

her a naif-crown , and deyired her to get lodging a . t the adynJB g hamlet .

She then beeasie importunate , and slated ter vrretcbednes ; in soch a pitiful manner , the inclemency of the Weather , aad especially her sex , tha ; the clergyman gave orders to have her taken to bis kiU-li ^ Li , and prorided with a bed . After some time , tbe " Pnest ' e Boy" broke in on his master , who was quiedy engaged in reading his breviary , and exclaimed , " Ob ,
your reveraaee , we have a "Whiteboy in the bouse in place of a poor woman . The priest remon * trateJ with bim « n the absurdity of his assertion ; bat tbe hoy persevered , saying that he -saw a man ' s beard on * Bsr , and < that werse than all , be saw som * tiling peeping out of her bosum very like tfce butt-end of a torseman ' s pistol . Being desirtd to again go to the kitchen , in order to make himself correctly acquainted with the calling and appearance o ! their guest as far as he could do so without exciting suspicion , he again returned , but to eMTohorite his first statement . It was then contfcrtrd betwieen
master aad r » . Ti , that tbe latter should go to the kitchen , and thai in a few mksutes after tne forcer was to follow him , and sternly inquire if hi . " boots were clean , to wnich he was to give a provokirjg . and impudent answer , snffieient to cause tbe priest to strike him ; the boy was tbea to return the issuU « "iiii a torrent of etnperation , aad to conclude bv his leaking for the 4 oor , teliicg hi * reverence that he ic ; j > bt ge to tbe deril and procure himself a more kuiring servant .

This part of tbe drama being
performed punctually , and with much dexterity , the pries * retired as if to bed , leaving the servant girl , and kk singular and suspicions looking guest in tbe ucdiscrbed enjoyment of a good blaziDg fire ia the iitihea . There were . about twenty minutes of breathless quiet . The aapposed woman then told the girl that she had an ** occasion" to go-oniside the doer ior a moment . SJw aeeerdiogly did so .

1 allow me to divide the money fairly amongst you , m order to prevent you hereafter from adding " tbe crime of munJer to tbe sin of robbery . " To this motion there was a general assent , and his reverence , leisurely apportioned tke money into eight parts . This being done , still there was no sign of the police ,. " His reverence , in order to gain time , proposed to brew them a jag of punch , and tke proposition was unanimously responded to . Each man having emptied bis hamper , the priest listened in -rain for the sound of coming footsteps . The character in Blue Beard , that ever and aaon exclaimed , "Sister Anne , dost thou see any one coming ? " was not more on the tenterhooks of
expectation than his reverence . Tbe parry made a movement to depart , acJ tue Rev . Gentleman , as a ' forlorn hope , " proposed to brtw them one bumper more . To' this t&ere was a general dissent ; but one of the ruffians who seemed to have some authority over the rt * t , swore " blazes to bim , bat they shoold obli g * his honour , as be behaved so mightr dacentall through . " The jug of pouch was brewed . -BarDs ' a ' "Willie" never brewed a finer petko" maut . nor did Sob a ^ nniea enjoy the festive " spwe ~ with greater / hilarity than did this jojous group , of midnight depredators , under tbe auspice * « f the worthy . iECumbent of the united parishes of Lurrow and Darrow . " The gang bow bandied about many rude jrsts , as to what might O'Connell say when he'd bear they mace free with tbe rent . " One of them considered that Peter Purcell would be of opinion matit would
. be just as safe in their possession as if lodged in- tie Tralee Bank . "Waxing merry from the effect * of the Whiskey pouch , they were preparing to conij-el his reverence to give them absolution , for the rubbery , when in popped tbt poiice on them , acd in a tVickling presented their carabines at tbe gang . The first cry of the pr iest was for the nwney , this tne robbers were obliged to pay out before the instruments of death were udpresented . Tbe Kioaey being paid down , tbe gang said , they'd robmit quietly . Tbe police prepared then to handcuff them ; " bat at this juncture one of tbe fellows gave a wild yell , and jumped a : one of the police , and qaeneWd tbs candles . Resistance became general . Availing ' themselves of the darkness , every one of tbe ei ^ bt succeeded in miking his escape . It is said that some of them were badly wounded .

Visited Hard y Hhd his fainilv twice iu the summer ) they aspeiMwu v « ry short of clothing , had nothing in the lower part of the house that she saw , but a loom ; before the time of the chil-. iti-n ' s i \ ln * s » , gave them a few- old clothes . When she wont first during ; their illness , the girl was l ying dead ; there wasahabyin the cradle , with only a bed-KOvrn of ir » mother ' s to cover it , and nothing to lie upon btft a piece of wrapping or towel ; the ttthpr wax on the father ' s kutre , with , no flaunel bnt » nlv a cotton ^| f « onent on ; the father had to go up stairs to wip « ttvet phk'gm Irom the child there , and carried the ^ babr with him . Once during the summer saw th ' e ' mother pullinu : off from t ^»> baby Home very bad
clefheg , and askeu if she had nothing better , * aid she had not . All three living children appeared *» ry ill . Thinks their distressed slate greatly aggravated the disease . Gave them blankets aud a little more inoiivy . Nothing in theToom , but the dead child laid out on a chair , the eldest boy on the be < i , on tiie ( loor , with no blankets or shcKis , bat only a bed cover . Part of the window out ; an old bag over it ; romn very dirty . Has had experience in illness , thinks everything tended to aggravate the disease ; fievt-r saw such a distressed home , aud will never forget it ; thinks that children wittt the hoopingcough under similar circumstances , would rnn great risk of their lives . Thinks it a very extraordinary thing that four childrc-u in one family should all die of such a disease as the hooping-cough .
A . nxe Abtlev . ( Witness ) John Roueus . Henry Uk . yt . Ouvkr Hoot .

Has gone to his house lor bobbins at five or six iu the morning , and at ten or elwven at ni ^ ht , and always found him at work . Thinks he was a hard-working man , but believes he had not proper implements to work with . The family have lone bt-eii very badiy off for food and lodging ; the girl has often Ven to her to beg a
bit of bread for Billy , the boy of four yearn old often went to the home , there were no chair * and table ? , and onl y a piece of a loom , all the furniture in the house , including the loom , not worth four shillings ; has often found the children sitting upon tbe brick floor . They had no bed , but only an old sack stitched up with siraw ; the woman came to her to beg her to lend her a sheet ' to ' lay over the children on the morning of tke Friday on which the first child died ; has had five children of her own , and been accustomed to see children with the hooping cough , but never saw any so afiected as them , as it caiue on whilst tfiey were in a state of hunger aud srarvation . Thiuks tha ' t ' -if they had food and clothing . to keep them warm , they would not have died , kut that they have been lost lor want .

overseers aud leypayers iir general , ever any received poor in the Land ; ' Yes ! 1 can say this with much pleasure and satisfaction , as their medical attendant . And most unfortunate ic was , to the neighbourhood ' s regret , Hard y should have neglected his children so long in their iUnea * . —Yes ! neglected them unto DEATH 1 ! without him making every exertion possible to alleviate their ailments and sufferings . < I myself can't see or well feel that ley-payers should be grieved or hurt through an entire stranger ' s mismanagement ; therefore I hope every thoughtful person will be of my way of belief—that tao neglect lays with the parents ot the unfortunate children ; and to the parents we must shaw much charity in shape of forgiveness , a * they might not see the danger the children were labouring under , aud its dreadful consequences .

I have only < a say , that oa Saturday , the 9 th of March , about three o ' clock in the afternoon , he applied to me , in company with -another * person of the name of Brogden , and desired roe to write him a letter to Mr . Badcock , the TelievinKbfticer of Baguley , the township to which he belongs , he having twochildreu dead in the house thi » n , a » d two others which from every appearance could not survive loiig . I 'immediately wrote to the relieving officer as requested , statinu- liis case ih the most prewiMg manner , hopiug thereby to excite hi . - * > ymp « hy , the . « ft \ cer relieved him with o . « ., and said he should lay the letter 1 wrote bi-forethe Board of Guardians © n the Monday following , aud he must see him again pn Tuesday at Sale School , where he came to pay the poor : and at the sum ..
time he broughti » e ii uote back , saying he could du nolhingtowards burying the ' two . children , as that expense would dttVo'lve upon tlw township of Fiixton . the r « lienng orticer * of the Altrinclidm Union huving received lu-itrac ^ ions about a fortnight ago to bury n « paupers ' belubgiug to them djiug out of the hmw f 4 , Ihe neighbourhood became alarmed , and a pei « on immeuiatbly nent to our worthy laiuiisttr , tbt * Ret .

, * bout £ 3 more , and with what ban been niven him by the people from a distance , no doubt he has received upwards of £ lt ) , which enabled him to inter" his four children very decently , aud buy some useful and necessary articles into the house , as well as clothing for himself aud wife . I muse say there is not a township in England that has resisted the introduction of the New I'oor Law more than the township of Fiixton , and are still determined to oppose it b y every lawful means , as we have not one person m the township who would be a Guardian under the New Poor-Law Act —the principal landowners holding it in the greatest abhorence . I am informed our churchwardens have signed a . requisition , desiring Mr . Cobbett to make application to the mai-isirates for the . ch » p in
bo heard bejore them , that the blame may . fall on the deserving . You will receive the letter which came from the relieving officer enclosed , which may enable you to judg-s of the blessings the New Poor Law afford *' those who are so unfortunate , as to fall underits iron grasp . : Now so far a « respects myself , I have only to say , when he applied to me at first , I a ^ ked ' him hw situation , and * if * , he wwhe-i me to relieve him ; he answered that he did not ; he had what w 4 s suffieient for his lamily until-ha returned from seeing the relieving officer , in expectation / ho should have . what would bury his children and support his family dnriug their sickness allowed him . On the Sunday
morning I ordered a person to fftch Mr . Savage , our T « w . u '» Doctor , and he was desired to pay every necessary attention to them ; I also sent them a pair of blankets from oar workhouse , and ottered to relieve him , but he still reinst-d . sitying that he should be liable to be removed to his own township , and he would rather staive than go into ony ef their union workhouses . Now , Sir , I will le ; we it to your better judgment , if any blame attaches to either ? he township or their officers , the above account being strictly true in every resptct . I am , Sir , Yours most respectfully , Thomas Irl . im , Assistant Overseer .
