MRS MAYBRICK.
A Very Cruel Slander Denied by the Officials.
London. June 12. Once more the name of Mrs Maybriok has been brought before the public, this time by the circulation of a very gross slander, which has been officially denied by the prison authorities. Baroness da Eoques, mother of Mrs May brick, having called the attention of the Home Secretary to a statement that Mrs Maybrick had given birth to a child in prison, the father of which was a high official in the prison, has received the following replyMadam,—ln reply to your letter of the 20th inst., I am directed by the Secretary of State to acquaint you that there is not the slightest foundation for the statement mentioned in your letter."

The circulation of such a story as this regarding a woman in such unfortunate condition shows the fiendishness of some of Mrs Maybrick’s enemies. On the other hand, it was only recently that the Lord Chief Justice declared his opinion that Mrs Maybrick should never have been convicted.
NERVE FORCE.
