Tin inllity abortion case in point happened in Stnitfoixl last week. From the evidence given before'a coroner's jury, it npptnrs- that the unfortu nate victim, Matilda Willis, was, a few days ago, to all appearances', a healthy and piepossessing girl in the. bloom of womanhood. She came to Stratford with two of her friends to bo inarried1'to a"yoting man named Worth, who resides in Mitchell, aad jwho promised to ineet them at the station and_uc- ;'company- " them.' But he didn't. The reason alleged for Worth aot accompanying his intended bride to Stratford, was that his people, .were opposed to .the match. This seems, however, to-have been a mere rwc to get rid of tiio unfortu-. nate girl whom he had ruined. Finding that her seducer had made her his dupe, her grief was inex pressible. She had fondly hoped that once nnitcd to him sno might bo ablo to lift up her head again in society; She refused to return to Mitchell with her friends, but'visit ed a medical man) who afterwards attended her at tho hotel atJ which she was stopping. Tho.^trqatment she received resulted in hee death, and there is little doubt but what it was another foul case of abocticm. The suffering of the poor girl, men tal and bodily, during her last hours, were intense. Had the mis erable wretch who, under promise of marriage,. robbed her of that which is woman's brightest "orna ment, stood by her beside and wit nessed her last agonies, his heart, if even made of flint, woiild have melted. After an exhaustive hear ing of tlie case the jury returned a- verdict "That the girl J,. Matilda Willis, came to her death in conse quence of an abortion,-and that Dr. Lucas was fe'uilty of irrnrder." The doctor was at once arrested, and is now in jail to await his trial at the next Assizes, - A warrant has been issued for the apprehension of Worth, thceupposed. seducer of tho girl.
