From The Constitution or Cork Morning Post, 6 September 1822 - SHOCKING DEPRAVITY. RECORDER'S COURT, DUBLIN--AUGUST 31. A more distressing or disgraceful case, perhaps, never came before a Court of Justice, than did this day in this Court--a father obliged to proclaim his own disgrace and his daughter's shame! Rebecca Smyth, a young woman, aged about 20 years, was put to the bar, having been presented by the Grand Jury as an idle, disorderly, and dissolute person, and having no visible means of livelihood. . . . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
