'AN ORPHAN SCHOOL GIRL "GOING TO THE BAD".

'A young girl named Millington, an orphan school

girl, apprenticed to Mr. F. A. Packer, was charged

with gross misconduct. It was stated that the girl

was in the habit of going away from her master's

house at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and remaining

away until 11 at night. The Bench cancelled the

defendant's indenture, and ordered her back to the

Asylum.
