Evidence: | 'for although female servants form a large class of Her Majesty's subjects, I have seen but little of them or their affairs in print: sometimes, indeed, a few stray deliquents, from their vast numbers, find their way into the police reports of the newspapers; and in penny tracts, now and then, a "Mary Smith" or "Susan Jones" is introduced, in the last stage of consumption, or some other lingering disease, of which they die, in a heavenly frame of mind and are duly interred.' |
