death. From thence she removed to a service in Goodman's-fields , for two years and a quater; then lived a year and quarter with Mrs. L - r - ce, a schoolmistress, near Aldgate ; and from thence went to live at Mitcham in Surry , as a servant to Mrs. S - v - ny, a leather-dresser, for almost a year; during which she was seduced by J - ph H - d, a fellow-servant, to be lewd, on repeated promises of marriage. She left Mitcham near a year ago, and was ill at her sister's for some time; but still took opportunities to keep company with the person aforesaid; but she cannot say he knew her to be with child. About fix weeks before this fatal fact, she went to live with Mrs. PG - se, of Soho Square , but who lodged at Padington when this affair happened. Being asked how she came to be discovered? She answered, that she had called up the maidservant of the family where she lodged, about four in the morning; (it appears also on her trial, that she had awakened and alarmed the mistress) this early alarm from her illness, in she suspected condition she was in, caused further suspicion and search, which discovered the whole matter.

After an impartial and candid trial, she was found guilty; and Mr. Recorder having made an earnest and pathetic exhortation, representing to her the heinousness of her most monstrous crime, so contrary to that strong love toward their offspring, which the Author of Nature has given to the brute creation, aggravated by her neglect of the charitable provision made for both mother and child, in this christian land; and moving her to exercise a most serious repentance suitable to her offence; judgment was pronounced in a full court, deeply affected; so that in the general silence and awe which attended it, each one seemed to join in that companssionate and significantly servent prayer, with which the decree for the dissolution of the body is concluded; - The Lord have mercy upon your Soul.

So confounded and thunder-struck was she at receiving sentence, that she was scarce able to move from the bar; for even when arraigned she fobbed and caught her breath,asif foretasting the death she expected. Impatient to be visited as she was, and in extreme need of consolation and support, I went to her on the first opportunity of admission which the keepers employment in court would allow: When brought out of the cell she had all the dread and horrors of her sentence upon her: She looked earnestly up toward Heaven, she wrung her hands, she wept, and wailed afresh, as if this stroke had come sudden and unexpected upon her. She said, when asked, 'tis true, I had reason to expect this, but never thought of it before, as I now do, when it is actually come upon me. 'Tis true you never confidered it, nor realized this dreadful scene before I You had not the fear of God before your eyes.

When taken apart and examined why she had not applied to some good person for admission to a proper hospital? &c. she declared she was not sure, nor believed sh was so far gone, nor above six months pregnant, being ignorant of the signs, as this was her first time. O! said she, had I known and considered my cafe, I had rather have begged from door to door with my child at my back, than to have done as I did.

She was charged in the midst of this lamenting and excusing herself, to make no false pretences, but to be sincere in her acknowledgement and repentance; she promised she would be so: and then very earnestly joined in prayer for about half an hour; after which she seemed much composed, expressing great hope that her repentance would be accepted, and her sins pardoned; and then desired to be visited again early next morning. She acknowledged, when asked, that she had never been confirmed, nor received the holy communion.

May 23 , she was visited and prayed with this morning, in which she humbly and heartily joined; she said she had been reading and praying in her cell till five this morning, when her candle went out, and she had slept quietly for some time, that she felt comfort in her mind, and a hope of mercy; particularly she had read part of the book of Deuteronomy, and St. Matthew's Gospel, and also read over the Introduction to the Lord's Supper, in order to receive the same.

When visited again this day for an hour or two, several others attended and prayed with and for her, with servent charity. She now
