which occurred at the ) Clinton railway .1

railway authorities were desirous of find-
ing out more itheut" the Metter, aertela
facts then known were ,not made public,
the result of which ha been the arrest of .
the mother ef 'the child. Acting under
instructions Chief Constable Paisley went

"girl. nailed Annie Wright, on a chairge of
child. desertion; she being the mother of
the one left at tbe station. She admitted
her guilt, and said that Wm. Merrison,of
Hallett, was the father of, the child. She
was brought before the Mayor, who, with
the evidenee before him, had 'no alterna-
tive but to commit her to stand her trial.
The girl stated that she had been seduced
under promise'ef mairia.gee and finding it
impossible. to .prdcure employnn t
her child, had left it, hoping that "'some.
one would Adopt it here, and as she then
:expected to procure employment in the

it is quit -likely that -steps will be taken

The girl was taken to Goderleh pn Tues-

is not likely that a sbVerd sentence Will be
