The mortal! ty among foundli it* !*~ clilldren a couple of years ago was so . great that the nuthorities forbade any more being sent there. The testimony taken shows that the family in charge ef the place for many years, regarded ' the institution In the light of a State provision for their support. By con- . Stant contact with iiuinan misery, sick- . Mass and death, they seem to have be> «*>me callous, cruel and selfish, and it is high time they gave place to peeple of } , it different and better nature. The testimony first brought out was horrl- I Ve enough, it being to the effect that , coffins from which corpses had been . if moved, had been filled with sticks i, and stenes to give them weight, and also that they had been skinned, the tildes having been sent off to be tanned. 9 .
