Evidence: | 'The following particulars relating to a poor woman named Amelia Roberts, who has hanged for robbing her master's house, are so instructive both to masters and servants... The facts stated were communicated by her to two of the ladies of the Newgate Association who visited her ... She then entered the service of Mr A., knowing his mother to be a serious character and presuming that the son would be the same. But in this she was mistaken ... During the three years of her residence under Mr A.'s roof, she heard a chapter of the Bible read but once, and that was one Sunday evening after the death of his mother ... she soon ceased to read her Bible, and, thus falling by little and little, she first neglected the forms of religion, and then grossly departed from its precepts' |
