Charles Atkin, Chairman of the Charit able Aid Board, deposed that he witnessed the assault. This was a painful case. She had developed such propensities that she could not be managed at the Home. They had no power to carry out discipline at the Home, and he did not like to turn the girl out on to tho streets. He was at the Home when the trouble took place. He asked chat the girl should only be repri manded. Mr Sbrathern said Miss Jackson, matron of the Home in St. George's Bay Road, wished to speak on behalf of the defendant. Accused here said, " I should like to see Mi.=_ Jackson." The witness deposed that she had the girl under her control for three years, and during that time she never considered her responsible for her conduct. She was amenable to kindness, and witne-s had no trouble with her whatever. When she heard that the girl was to be summoned she thought it right to come and make this statement. The Boneh thanked Miss Jackson. Defendant said, in answer to the Bench, that she would behave better if Mrs Reed and Mrs Moss would please keep their hands to themselves.
