Evidence: | 'Eliza Cooper was first visited in Newgate in the summer of 1849. She was committed for unlawfully deserting her infant ... On her discharge from prison she was found so ill that the governor kindly gained her admission into St Bartholomew's Hospital ... She also evinced an earnest desire for the salvation of her fellow-sufferers. On one occasion she entreated me to speak to a dying woman who lay in the bed opposite to her, and she listened with trembling anxiety while I read and talked to her' |
