An Inhuman Monster.
# Melbourne, March 18. A woman named M'Kay called at the Sydney Hospital on Friday, suffering from severe burns. She stated that her husband reached home in a drunken condition the Er«vioua night, poured kerosene on her cad, and set fire to it while she was feeding a baby. She sprang out of bed with her nightdress in flames. The husband, realising what he had done, wrapped a rug around her, and put the fire out. Though she was suffering terrible agony, her husband refused to allow her to go for assistance. She waited till he fell into a drunken stupor, and then she made her way to the hospital. M'Kay has been arrested.
