Home, where she received a number of children, and it 1 is alleged, neglected them. 1“Three medical witnesses were call- 1 ed, one stating that he had never seen 8 a more miserable lot of children. The 1 tips of their noses, their chins, their r lips, and their hands and feet were 1blue with cold. There was not a smile famongst them. 8Another doctor said it was one of 8 the worst caseB he had ever seen. 1 SufTer little children to come unto 1 me. has beer made a common pre- vcept, but its practical application to- ^day becomes, for the most part, a fiendish mockery. The similar cases not a great while since reported in Essex of gross, inhuman neglect towards children, dictated by the hunger for the financial gain; the Parish notices of the intention to emigrate” (the term “transport” has gone out of fashion, but the operation persists under other names) deserted children of all ages and their atrocious treatment meted out to the defenceless Bam-ado’s brats” by our God-fearing colonial cousins in Canada (the facts about which are now breaking through the interested conspiracy of silence) combine to make it clear that the traffic in children is as rampant as ever, and that private individuals and public institutions alike are as ready as ever o to deliver them to untold misery for the sake of a handful of gold, or to get rid of their unwelcome charges.
