Complaint before Mayor of City of Allegheny by Mrs. Susan Waler of 1st Ward, 
Allegheny, that her daughter Louisiana Waler, under the age of 17, the House of 
Refuge by reason of incorrigibility.  Louisa Waler was an inmate of the House 
of Refuge some months and was released on parole, which for some time past has 
been steadily and constantly broken by idleness and, I might say, dissipation.  
She dresses in the afternoon only to stroll the streets, often returning home 
late at night, sometimes with young men, at other times alone, and when 
interrogated in reference to her conduct, company & idle habits she replies 
that her company was as good as that at home and that she was not going to work 
as I had done as she could get her living easier than that.  -That she even 
uses profane language.
     Forest Waler, brother of Louisa Waler, deoses to truth of his mother's 
statement.
