Inspector Thomas Marshall NSPCC stated on December 17th he visited the defendant’s dwelling and saw the wife and three children, the eldest five years and the baby fourteen months. They were emaciated and the infant weighing only 11 lbs whereas the normal weight of a child that age was 22 lbs. ….” “Mr Washburn of Gloucester described the condition of the two older children as thin and starved whilst the infant was in a miserable state and considered seriously ill. Their clothing was sufficient and clean. He saw the defendant’s wife who was suffering from mental delusions. She was on the border of insanity and he ordered that the children should be conveyed to the workhouse…..”
