A CASE FOR THE POLICE.
To the Editor.
Sir,—Permit me, through the medium of your columns, to expose the cruel treatment of a girl, from ten to twelve years of age, by a large, robust looking woman in the right-of-way at the rear of the Nonpareil Dining Booms, Stafford street. The child was unmercifully beaten over the hands and face with a large leather strap, while she was bogging and crying, ‘I am sick aud not well.” For the sake of our common humanity, the proper authorities should look into it. The brute creation is protected by the laws, and 1 have no doubt but there are laws to bring unmerciful people to justice when they violate the laws of our common humanity. I am informed that the child gets the like two or three times a week.—Yours, &c., W. H. Denney. Bussell street, Nov. 1.
