T CATHERINE BACON, have not left my I , home, as stated .by.William Bacon. I have not been away one night for two months, and do not intend to be ; driven from it again The only debt I have had since I have bean his wife was for a loaf of bre d, half-pound of butter, and half-pint of milk, which I got one day when he and his daughters locked up all the food and would not let me have any. I have not been allowed to have a meal for three weoks, except what I:have cnt at the safe and taken up to my bedroom. Last Saturday they were locked in'a'room. at break: fast; I asked for a piece of bread, and was told to wait till my belters were done. I have had ho opportunity of; running him in debt, as his youngest daughter is mistress, sits at the head of the table, orders andipays for everything that comes into the house5, and • has done so ever since I wns lnarried'fo her father* They even make me pay for the glass of ale I have for my 'dinner, and make me go to the common bar for if. I have no clothes or anything else bought with W. Bacon's money, and although, living in his house, I ta'<<e in needlework to furnish myself with pocket-money, and will be much obliged to anyone who will give me work to do. I have given him no cause that he should put Bucji an advertisement iv the paper, and can only judge that he and his eldest daiighter-Were in their cups when they concocted it. These are fjcts. I say nothing of the abuse I have had. CATHERINE BACON. Odd Fellows' Arms, June 20, 1870. mRY OUR BOTTLED STOUT SIX SHILLINGS PER DOZEN.
