SHOCKING CASE OF DESTITUTION :

At the Magistrates' Court, Liverpool, on Saturday, a poor-looking man, named John Elliot Arthy, was charged with begging at Walton (Liverpool), on the 21st inst. A constable stated that having been directed to make inquiries he went to the address given by the prisoner, 68,Domingo-road, and there found the prisoner's wife and seven children in most deplorable want and in a horrible state of filth and dirt. The wife was laying on an old bed on the floor, with only a few rags to cover her.  She was in an advanced stage of consumption and bronchitis. Four of the children were crouching beside their mother to keep themselves warm. One of them, wrapped in rags, lay in another room suffering from bronchitis. The other children were in another room, quite naked and crying for bread. In answer to the constable the woman said that a doctor was attending her.  When asked if she got any relief from the parish she said "No" and that when she asked the relieving officer to assist them, he only gave them an order for the workhouse.  She then took a crucifix from her dress and kissed it, and said, "But before I will go there I will die gazing at the crucifix"  There was not a particle of food in the house, and when the officer  sent for a loaf of bread the children devoured it like wild beasts. Mrs Arthy said her husband was nearly blind and suffering from bad feet and quite unable to work. The Magistrate discharged the prisioner and advised him not to work.

The wife refused the workhouse, but the Guardians ordered that the children should be taken into the workshop for help and support.
