Cruel mother jailed for stripping child to death in winter
A jury convicted the woman of extreme cruelty after she left her child naked in freezing weather. The Assistant Judge called it a case of great cruelty with no redeeming point. She had left the workhouse and, on a cold night, deprived the child of warm clothing and perished. She received twelve months in the House of Correction and the judge lamented not being able to add hard labor.
