_Ten Children at a Birth_ (Vol. ii., p. 459.; Vol. iii., p. 64.).--We are
indebted to the obliging courtesy of the editor of the _Leeds Mercury_ for
the following extract from that paper of the 9th October, 1781:--
"A letter from Sheffield, dated October 1, says, 'This day one Ann
Birch, formerly of Derby, who came to work at the silk-mills here, was
delivered of TEN children; nine were dead, and one living, which, with
the mother, is likely to do well.'"
