JUTRAORDINARY MIMS Or FORGERY. ANOTHER ROVPILL CASS. Luther limn, a middle-aged man, residing at No. 1, Lesecert-place, Oradisevell, and lately carrying os the barna. of aa sooonatera at No. 14, Tokeehouserard Lothbary, wee placed at the bar of the Mansion-house, yeeenday, In the eratody of detective officer Spital, before the Lord Mayor, to endorse a further examination upon a &arm of forging and &Marin certain deeds purporting to have been signal by Admiral Sir John West, G.C.8., with intent to defraud Lientenant-Colonel John Temple West, of Hyde, Isle of WWit. Mr. Lewis again attended for the prosecution, and Mr. T. H. Loogley appeared for the prisoner. From Mr. Lewis's emends( statement on the previews examination M appeared that the prisoner had at some time or other bees is a solicitor', office, and in addition to hie having pissed • knowledge of the mode of making out deeds of converters, &e., be by some means or ether to have obtained a kaowle the existence of some property known as the St. Usage's Fate* and that it be longed to Admiral Sir John West, end that he availed him self of that ram/ledge, and forged at different times within the last few years a number of deeds of conveyances, pur porting to be signed by Admiral Sir John West, conveying So him certain house, in West-squers, Lambeth, which com prised the St. George's estate apes eanskleratioa of certain mums of money, and that having keyed the deeds, he more them and obtained advances upon them from differeot solicitor& By this means be appear, to bare obtained advances to • very large amount, and was negotiating with • solicitor for an advance upon another deed, but that Haman happened to hear of the death of Admiral Sir John West, and upon examining the deed, he noticed that it was dated subsequent to the death of the admiral, and he accordingly instituted an inquiry, avid the deed was discovered to be a forgery. It will be remembered that upon the last at m:Monaca a deed upon which the prisoner bad obtained money from • gestlemen mimed Parker. • solicitor. carry ing on Mennen at Bedford-row, was proved to be a forgery. Although upon the last examigation Mr. Lewis stated that the amount which had then bees ascertained to have been obtained by the prisoner was upwards of 6,0001., it Las been subsequently ascertained that the amount is much larger. Yesterday Mr. Lewis called John Morgan Deere, solid tor, Lincoln's-inn-gads who mid he acted as solicitor for the prisoner in the year 1880. Os the 7th of August in that year be saw the pnsoser execute the mortgage deed then produced by Mr. P arker, rad attested his signature. The deed purporting to be sigrad by Admiral West, par rzdto be attested by James Baran, land spot, Perim le, oir d. He banded the mortgage to Mr. Parker. He did not remember raving sees the original lease. He re ceived a copy of the lease from Mr. Yeats to furnish to Mr. Parker in Bedford-row. The Lord Mayor asked Mr. Lewis how many of the cams be intended to go into. Mrs. Lewis said he proposed to prove eight out of about eighteen. fits lordship said he should have thought two or three separate cases already proved would further the sods of justice, and be as well as going into so many. Mr. Lewis mid so far as the prosecution went two or three cases would be sufficient, but the friends and family of the late Admiral Sir John West were anxious that it should be understood that all the deeds of conveyance executed by the pneoser were forgeries, and it was m ma rry to prove as many cams an possible to prevent litigation, *therein in the cones of twenty years or so the holden of the mortgages might probably come upon the family for payment. Iris lordship said, under those circumstances, he had nothing more to may. Mr. Ebenezer Morley, • solicitor, at King's Bench-walk, Temple, was then sworn, and said in the yes, 1859 he was acting as solicitor for • Mr. Hopley, and Misr Brandoq of Pasex-.freer, Strand, applied to him on behalf of the prisoner respecting a mortgage, and on the 14th of October, 1859, a deed of mortgage was executed in his pr senor. The m • was four booms Nos. 45 to 48, West-square, Lambeth, both isclasive. He produced the deed of mortgage and the lease, which he received from Messrs. Brandon in the presence of the prisoner. There was at that time annexed to the lease the receipt produced, purporting to be a receipt from James Bernet for the last two quarters' rotted rent. The 'immature' of the prieoner and Sir Jobn West were attested by James Bennet, Hertford. Upon the mortgage of that lease, he advanced to the prisoner the sum of 7001. on behalf of Mr. Hopley, and the prisoner had since been punctual In paying the interest due upon that mortgage. In January, 1861, be was acting as solicitor to Mies hiliride, and the ',li mner applied to him to advance • sum of I,OOOL upon • mortgage of a lease purporting to have bees executed y Sir John West of four houray 25 to 28, West-gram inclusive. The lease was dated 124 December, 1860. He consented to adman) him the gam of 8001., on behalf of Mims M'llride, on the 17th January, and 1861, he (prisoner) executed • mortgage, which he produced, and handed over to the firm the deed of mortgage, and the lease which he also produced. The prisoner had paid the • interest on the mortgage from time to time since that period. Mr. George Mathews Arnold. solicitor, practising at Gravesend, said he knew the prisoner. He had three trans actions with the prisoner. He produced an assignment of a lease of Nos. 18 and 19, West-square, Isabel, dated August 29tb, 1859, grunted by Sir John Wen, to Luther Yeats, the prisoner. lie made as advance upon the assignment of that lean of 3754 on the part of hie client, Mr. Cheeper. He likewise produced a mortgage dated 20th Marsh, 1860, . made between the prisoner and Mr. Alfred Tabard, who ' was& client of his, of a lease which he produced. It was • mortgage dated 25th February, 1860, purporting to be made between Sir Jobs West and Luther Yeats, of holism 20 to 23, West-square, includes The prisoner applied him for the advance of 7501. upon that property, and on the 25th March he made him the advance, and then received the deed of mortgage and lease. He also produced a deed of mortgage dated 30th September, 1861. between himself and the prisoner. It related to • lease dated 10th September, 1861, of homes 45 to 48. West-equare, and purporting to be executed by Sir John Wed to the prisoner. Mr. Lewis remarked that the prisoner had forged the lessee for those four houses, and bad obtained money upon each of them. His lordship said, that if he undentond the case rightly, the r had been in the habit of concocting fictitious d of conveyance upon the property in question over and over again, and then mortgaging them. Mr. Leas said that was just the ease. The witness then continued his evidence, and said he advanced the prisoner 7501. upon that lease. He likewise produced • teem or mortgage, dated 30th Sept., 1861, between himself and the prisoner on • lease dated the 10th Sept. 1861, and purporting to be signed by Sir John West, in favour of the prisooer, of homes Nos. 44 to 48, West square. The prisoner personally applied to him for an ad vance of 800/. upon that lease, and he made him the advance, and received the deed of mortgage and lease which he pro duced from him. In two instances the signature of Sir John West was alleged to have been attested by James Beonet, Loose agent, of Portvale, Hertford ; and in the third instance by James Bonnet, joy., of the same place. Mr. James Lay, solicitor, of 44, Poultry, was then called, &Wand he had known the prisoner about twelve years. He produced a lease dated April 10, 1862, made in favour of the prisoner, and purporting to he executed by Sir John West, in respect of four houses, situate Noe. 25 to 28, West-square, both inclusive. He advanced the prisoner 150/. on the 10th of May, 18e, on behalf of one of his clients, and the prisoner deposited the deed with him as security. He believed there were negotiations with another solicitor for a mortgage upon the same deed fora much larger amount. He likewise pro duced a policy of insurance on the property. Mr. Lewis said the latter was not necessary. There was so carelseiness attributed to the solicitors, who had had tranemahmes with the prisoner. Mr. Lay said be wished to make a complaint to his lord ship with regard to some observations which fell from Mr. Lewis upon the last examination, sad which be did not think be was at all justified in making. It appeared in all the papers that that gentleman had stated t ha t Mr. Lay was not present, and that hews' &bald he was keeping out of the way on purpose, and would Dot produce the deed. He wished to state, however, that he was sway on bnsiness at the time the subpcens was served at him office—which was not until about an boar before the case was called on, and he being away his son was dibprensed instead, but he had no knowledge of the whereabouts of the deed. He did not consider that such observations ought to have been made, and he had rendered Mr. Gaudin every &mist ime, in his power. Mr. Lewis said that he was sorry Mr. Lay bad alluded to the matter, as it would compel him to say what otherwise be would not have said. Its considered he had very just grounds for the observations which he made on the last occasion, as Mr. Gaudin bad seen Mr. Lay on the previous day, and Mr. Lay thou sail he did not think he should attend at the examination of the prisoner at the Hannon- Douse, and the lease which had been left at Mr. Ley's office, instead of being left out to be produced, bad been put away. and, in addition to that, be had lodged a detainer on the prisoner's account at his banker's on the previous day as soots as he knew the prisoner was is custody ; and if his lordship wished it, he would mill Mr. Gemini. His lordship, however, said it had better rest as it was. Mr. Lay said Mr. Gamin had told him that he intended to go into several other cram and be thought his attendance would not be Mr. Francis r T a l r b aL ary said he was an articled clerk, and resided at Bexley, in Kent He produced • mortgage, dated 16th September, 1859, made between the prisoner and Frusta Hilleary, his father, of a lease, dated 27th July, 1859, in respect of home 18 sad 19, West-square, pur porting to have bees matted by Sir Jobe West to the pri soner. He saw the prissier emirate that mortgage, and attested it. He produced the lease to which the mortgage related. The sum of 3001. was advanced upon that lease.

They were all terro rise ; nod although he stated on the last examination that the prisoner had obtained about 6,0001., since that time several other cases had been diecovered, and he believed the whole amount which the prisoner had obtained by means of forging deeds such as tud been produced that day was not lee, than 10,000/. The family of Sir John West were anxious to 'silks it known that the whole of the deeds fabricated by the primmer were forgeries, although they deeply regretted the isms sustained by those with whom the primmer bad inortgaged them. His lordship suggested that Mr. Lewis should econsider with his client whether it would be pendent to go into the other case. _ Mr. Lewis thanked his lordship, and said he should ask his lordship to commit the pr saner for trial upon the alias which he had already proved. The prisoner was committed for trial accordingly. Mr. Loogley, who had refmioed from askiog the witnesses any . questions, slaked his lordship if a gold watch and chino which was found on the prisoner at the time of his apprehension, might be given up to his wife. Au execution had been pot into the house, and everything had been swept away, and his wife sad a family of six children were left destitute. Hie lordship said be could sake no cedar.

DREADFUL ACCIDILIFT.—OR Wednesday a fire broke out in the house of Mr. James Anderson, wire and Venetian blind manufacturer, 611, May-street Belfast. One of the firemen named Matthew Nevin, who happened tote employed neer the place at the time, was informed that Mr Anderson's sister was in danger of being burred. He immediately ran into the home, but finding that she had made her way to a small yard behind, be procured a ladder and went over the wall. HOTS a horrible sight presented itself to his view. The unfortunate woman Mug standing in the yard ose mass of flames, her arms and body being gristly burned. Nevis at once lifted her in his arms, carried her over the wall of the yard. and im mediately had her removed on a car to the General Hospital. It appears that Miss Anderson was boiling • pot of resin for the purpose of making varnieb, and, con ! teary to her usual custom, she set her pot on the floor in stead of taking it into the yard. While in the act of pour- ing turpentine into the pot, the oil ignited, and the flames caught upon her clothes, which alarmed her so th a t s h e threw the vessel containing the turpentine from her, thus spreading the fire over the whole kitchen. In a very short time the fire brigade arrived, and an abundant supply of water being at hand the are was 'extinguished in about fifteen minutes. A considerable amount of property was injured. The premises were not insured. With regard to the unfortunate woman, who, it is feared, will not survive the dreadful nature of her injuries, it will found at the boo 'OW that kw arms bad been burn ed to a cinder, and her breast, neck, and lege terribly scorched. She is twenty eight yaws of age, and resided with her brother as home ! keeper. The conduct of the fireman Nevin, who acted so I nobly in rescuing her from the flames, cannot be too highly commended. —Northern Whip.

After a long interval it had hem thought advisable that the body should be exhumed, and the feel loge of the family had hem harrowed by Mug again com pelled to come forward and give their evidence, but he sub mitted that the evidence given after so bog a period could not be implicitly relied upon, and that it was not entitled to so much weight u that which was Ursa originally, end they ought to pause long before they utuesed a verdict the effect of which would be to consign the prisoner to an ignominious death upon evidence that was so given. The learned counsel then proceeded to state that, in mem li k e this, the first and the moat important point for the math deratioa of the jury was to see what motive was ascribed for I the 000101ilinall a such a dreadful crizno, and it was clear that the only motive that was suggested, or at all manta insinuated. for the commission of this rime by the prisoner, was that she was in circumstances of pecuniary difficulty, and that her object in destroying the deceamed was to obtain pommesion of the miserable sum of 91. which she had received from her brother, Mr. Banes, on the day when she was first taken ill. He should contend, however, that the prisoner was not proved to have bean is disturbed circumstances, and although evidence had undoubtedly been given that the prisoner was only entitled to about 101. a year from some property at Boston, there was nothing to show that mho was sot paranoid of other property, and with regard to the other poMt, he reminded t jury that there was no evidence that the deceased took the W. she bed m oiled from her brother to her house in Alfred-street. Thom was nothing to show where the deceased wont other she reoeived the mooey, and sloe might have got rid of it in • variety of ways before she reached her home. It was clear that the prosecutios relied upon the fact !of the primmer having obtained possession of this money, and yet they bad not brought forward any evidence to show that the pri mmer ever had an opportunity to get this money from the deceased. He thought there could also be no doubt that Mrs. Scams was not in prosperous circumitancee at the time of her death, and that she had pursed some of her property, and borrowed 101. of the prisoner, and therefore he submitted that it was very likely she should have paid away the 91. she bad received, and if this we» so, the motive attributed to the prisoner entirely failed. If Mis jury should be of opinion that this was so, and that no motive existed, it would be for them to my what mould have induced her to commit We dreadful crime. There were two moot important points for their consideration, the first of which was,. did the deceased die of poison, and if so, was that poison administered by the prisoner, and be hoped be should be able to satisfy them that, upon tho evidence before them, neither of those points had been ruiliciently established. In the first place the prisoner woe not proved ever to have purchased poison, or to have ever had poison in her posaesson, and no police of any kind was found in the body of the deceased. It was true that the theory of the prosecution woe that soma vegetable poison was the cause of death, and that it had been eliminated from the body during the illness, and could not be discovered, but there was not one tittle of evkkeses that the prisoner had ever had colchicum or any other vegetable poison in her possession. Ihey would also remember that many of the symptoms exhibited by the dim ceased were those of a natural disease ; and if there was any doubt upon the point whether they were to be attri buted to the one cause or the other, their own feeliogs, and the humanity of the law also, would direct them to give the prisoner the benefit of that doubt. The learned monad next referred to the evidence 9 1 Dr. Taylor, aid said that it appeared to him th at the evidence he had given, to the effect that he placed no faith in the returns that were mad* as to the causes of death by the registrars, and that • great number of those that were described as having taken place from cholera were, to point of fact, deaths from poiaou, was most startling, and the jury would say whether they ought to place implicit reliance upon such evidence. He then pro ceeded to comment upon the other facts that bad been given in evidence, and be concluded a very able speech by . stating that, although there might be some suspicion against the prisoner, still that the evidence was not at all conclusive, and that the prisoner was therefore entitled to en acquittal. The learned counsel did not conclude his address until hilliest 4 o'clock, and the learned judge, addressing the jury, said that if they wished he was quite ready to sum up, but be put it to them whether, in 1101111) of such extreme im portance, it would not be advisable to postpone the ramming up and the final decision of the case until the following morning. The jury said they thought it would be the hotter course to postpone the summing up until the following morning. , The trial was consequently adjourned. NEW COURT. (Wore Mr. Justice Keating.) George Crook, 15, labourer, who had pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with unlawfully and maliciously putting upon the railway of the London and South-Western Railway Company certain stories to the endangerment of pesasogers by the said railway, was brought up for judg ment. Mr. Justice Keating, without comment, sentenced the prisoner to be kept in Newgate for fourteen days, and thew sent to a reformatory for the term of five years. James Steele, 16. labourer, was indicted for feloniously and carnally know* and abating Anne Arnold, a gi rl under the age of ten years. Mr. Sleigh conducted the prosecution. It appeared that the priaouer was in the serviced the father of the proescutriz, and had taken advaatage of bin left with her in the house O&M() to effect his purpose. The details were wholly unfit for publication. and the jury, with out much deliberation, found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Justice Keating, in passing senteoos, said that harry the . poor girl had not sustained any great ammo of phyocal injury, and looking at the age of the prisoner, he was probably not aware of the magnitude of the offence be had committed, and therefore the court would not sentence him to penal servitude. The septets* of the court was that be be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for eighteen calendar months. Jame., doling, 46, bootmaker, was indicted for criminally assaulting, Bc., Alice Crater, a girl under the age of tea years. Hr. Sleigh appeared for the prosecution. The testimony of the medical gentleman who had am mineditrEn of the promicutrix went to show that she was under a loathsome disease, while the prisoner was wholly from taint in that respect. Mr. Jos Keating asked the jury whether they thought it necessary, after this evidence, to go on with the case? The jury at ogre said the medial evidence was quite coneluolve, and they accordingly returned a verdict of Not The prisoner was again iodicted fora similar offence on a little girl named Matilda Wood. Mr. Sleigh, for the prosecutioe, said that be had carefully read the depositions in this case, and found that the facts were the same as those disclosed in the last one; he sbonld therefore not offer on the part of the crown any evidence. Mr. Justice Keating said that the learned counsel bad taken a very proper mune, and directed the jury to acquit the prisoner. A verdict of Not Guilty was accordingly recorded. THIRD COIJRT. (Before the Recorder.) Alfred Towns, Piety Le Rose, and William Charles Allen, three well-dressed young men (the fleet mentioned being the son of the lessee of the Victoria Theatre), sod Apses Alin' Towers, were indicted for an assault upon William Henry Herrick. no officer of the Sheriff of Surrey, and on George Waller Reeves, and George Rayment. two of his assistants, while in the execution of their duty. Mr. Lilley and Mr. Butler Rigby conducted the Lim Mr. F. H. Lewis defended Pierre Le ; 47.7121 Mon tage Williams defended Alfred Towers and William Charles Allen; and Mr. Kemp defended the female prisoner. The iodictment contained three counts ; the first charging the whole of the prisoners with aiding and effecting the escape of one Frank Tower', the second count charged them with preventing the legal capture of the said Frank Towers, and the third count charged the whole of the prisoners with a common amatilt. Mr. Lilley haviog briefly narrated the fade of the case to the jury.called William Henry Renick, who proved that be was an of the officers of the Sheriff of Surrey, and had been so for thirty year, on and off. He was • servant, and not the partner, of Mr. Gine Seel, who was also an officer of the sheriff. He (whams) was appointed by the Uoder-Sheriff, on giving security. On the 13th of the present month he went to the Victoria Tavern, Waterloo-road, to execute a writ of copies on Frank Towers, the landlord of that house, who knew him well, as he (Miim) had arrested him before. He had with bim his two assistants—George Waller Reeves and George figment. We went into the bar and knocked three times on the minter and called for some brandy ; and at this time he (witness) saw Frank Towers, naiad whom he had the writ, sitting in the bar-parlour. On seeing wit ness Frank Towers got up to leave, awl witness went round the barjust am Towers was on the stairs leadiog into the back parlour. He said to Towers, "I want you, and the latter replied, " What for ?' Witness said. " For a sum than the eat time." He then took Tower; the arm and they went into the back parlour. Towers was in • very excited state , and wtheees, thinking it would be best to have a cab, directed his mails. tents to obtain one. Towers thee threw himself on • ask, and called to hi wife (the female primer) to give bins • knife, that he might stab himself or out his throat. The wither turned spin to call his assistants when he hared • scuffle and shriek, and on the instant he maw Towers escaping through the window, the female primer having In reply to some remarks urged by Mr. F. H. Lewis on behalf of the prisoner Le Ron, The Recorder said he did not think there was any ease against him. He could not speak English, and did not ap pear to have taken any part in the matter. Mr. Kemp, on behalf of the female prisoner, asked the Recorder whether, being the wife of Frank Tower., it might not be held that she had acted under his coercion. Theßecorder observed that in his opinion that was qua. tion for the jury. Mr. Montagu Williams then addressed the jury on behalf of Alfrd Tower. and Allen, and asked the jury if they could believe the evidence of the witness Herrick, when be was so distinctly contradicted by his assistants, Reeves and !filmset, with respect to the shriekeed the fall on the door. He asked if they could believe Reeves after his assartioe that he, a large heavy man, could have been swung round and violently thrown down by • spare little woman like the female prisoner. Resubmitted that the whole of the evidence for the prosecution was as absurd as it was untrue. It was a most paltry prosecution, the fact being that Herrick had lost his man, and sought now to clear himself and release the sheriff from his liability for the escape. If these wit news were samples of the officers of the Sheriff of Surrey, all he could say was, God help those who fell in their way. Mr. Kemp urged the same topics, and made an energetic appeal to the jury on behalf of the female prisoner, con tending that the witnesses were not to be believed. It was incredible—nay, a palpable lie on the face of it—that the female prisoner mould have acted towards Reeves as he had described, inasmuch as she was in delicate health, and in an advanced state of pregnancy. It was perfectly evident that the officers were afraid to follow Towers, and had taken these steps to relieve the sheriff, who had now instituted these proceedings in protection of his officers. The Recorder in summing up said the jury were not to pay any attention to the remark' of counsel as to the respon sibility of the sheriff, but confine themselves to the question really before them. Much had been said as to the variance in the statements made by the officer', but be did not see that they contradicted each other so very materially. The jury must recollect the whole affair was • scene of oodusion which lasted only a very short time. He then pointed out to them that in consequence of some informality in the third count of the indictment, the only question left for them to decide was that contained in the second count. via. whether by theiracte they had prevented the capture of Frank Tower.. The jury after • few minutes' consultation returned a ver dict of Not Guilty. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL Richard Reysell, • respectably dressed youth, who de scribed himself as a painter (artist), residing at No. 2, Cadopn-terrace, Clears% was placed at the bar, before Alderman Hale, charged with a most daring highway robbery. Mr. Robert William Sherriff, a merchant, of 9, Rood-lane, City, said he was on the north aide of St. Paul's churchyard about three o'clock in the afternoon, when he felt a severe knock at his trousers pocket, where he kept his puree, and at the same instant he saw the prisoner with his watch in his right hand, and in the act of putting it into his trousers pocket. The watch had been anatched with such force that it broke the swivel of the chain. A female immediately stepped be tween upon his seizing the prisoner, and be (*item) at the same moment received two severe blows oa his back from some one behind. The prisoner got awa), and witness foi llowed calling out " Stop thief," until the prisoner was se cured, when he took the watch out of his, pocket and. re turning it to witness, said, "Here's your watch. You have got it back, don't be hard on me." The latter part of this evidence was corroborated by two other witnesses. Mr. Austin ' who attended in the prisoner ' s Interest, said the boy had been very unfortunately situated from his infancy. He bad no father living, and his mother was an imbecile, hut at her death be would inherit a considerable amount of property. Be bad been very much neglected, and bad no doubt fallen in with bad company and bees led into a course of life which had resulted in the present charge against him. His mother bed recently been in duced to assign her property to trustees, by whom the prisoner bad been supplied with money day by day sufficient to procure food and other neoesearice Of life. Alderman Hale said it was a meet daring robbery, and the time of day and the place at which the robbery was perpetrated showed that the prisoner, young as he was, had acted in a most desperate manner. Re could not allow the prospect of his riches to interfere with the course of justice, and be must, therefore, deal with him as an ordinary crimi nal, without making any distioctioa between the rich and poor. The prisoner was then committed for triaL Cherie* Green sod James Aresin were charged with pick ing pockets near Holborn-bill. Mr. George Williams said oe Saturday evening last at half-past six o'clock he was on Holboro-hill and saw the prisoner Green standing close against two ladies and • gentleman, who shortly afterwards crossed towards Snow bill.

CRINOLINE AND ITS ricTzms. Yesterday Dr. Lankester held an inquest at the White Hart Hotel, Welbeeketreet, Caveediah-sqm" on the body of Elizabeth Anne Lindsay, widow, and landlady of that establishment, who had died on Tuesday last from the effects of burns, caused by her muslin dress catching fire from her candle while she was undressing. It appeared that the servants, alarmed by the smell of fire all over the home, and following the traced it, had discovered Mrs. Lindsay lying on the floor of her b ed room in flames, vainly trying to roll the carpet round her. The fire was put out, and a surgeon sent fur, but he did not find a spot in her body the size of a shilling that was not burnt, and Mrs. Lindsay died of mortification in a few bouts. The learned coroner, in summing up the case, stated that he bekl two ioquesta a month on *omen burnt to death in con ; sequence of therm of crinoline. This was amompit a pope. lotion of a million, which would be equal, it might be sup posed, to an average dais deaths from that cause per month is London. Such a ratio throughout the whole of England rendered the sacrifice of life from crinoline very alarminn, and he hoped that it would make'some impression on society. But the sacrifice did not end there. Thai objectionshis sad dsogernus style of dress was mined into the factories. It was only the other day that the wife of an mminear was drawn up into the machinery and frightfully mutilated. Many work-girls had also been destroyed or injured in factories. In Austria some distinguished ladies appeared to be determined not to receive any one that wore crinoline. Some influential persons in this country should now set their faces against it ; still if women would not abandon their present style of dress, it might be as well for him to state that crinoline could be made anti. combustible. He bad been written to on the subject by philanthropic ladies. One in Brighton bed sent him word the other day that for la. in the pound dreg'ss could bs secured from inflammability. Then there was another pre. sweeties necessary, the invariable use of wire fire-guards. He thought it immiant for juries to take the subject into their serious coositioa, though the pernicious results of the prevailing fashion might not always be so dearly shown as in this case. Steel crinoline be looked upon as the most dangerous of all, because it was least compressible. Verdict, " Accidental death from fire" THE TRAGEDY of LUDOATE•H ILL. —Mrs. Vsße, who it will be recollected was tried at the July sessions of the Central Criminal Court on • charge of having murdered her children, and found not guilty on the ground of insanity, has now, in consequence of an order from the Secretary of State for the Home Department, been removed from N alrga te prison, where she has hitherto been confined, to Eishertou house Lunatic Asylum, Salisbury. Mary Ann Harris, a young woman charged last se-nine with a similar offence, but acquitted on the ground of inanity, has also been re moved to the same asylum. MURDER OF A BREGOL POLICEMAN.—On Thurs day morning, about 3 o'clock, death pat an end to the sufferings of Christopher Wickham, the policeman who was stabbed some weeks ago, on the Welsh Back, by, as it was alleged, a man named Robert Morgan, who mu apprehended and brought before the magistrates, and by them remanded from time to time on the charge of @tibiae& to await the time when the wounded MO should be sufficiently reoo vered to be able to appear against him. That time, how ever, never came, for the countable. though occasionally rallying in a slight measure, could not bear up against the excessive loss of blood he sustained in consequence of the wound. An inquest was convened the same afternoon, and after taking m ed ical evidence, it was adjourned. The pri soner, who was brought up in custody, looked pale, and ap peared to feel the painful position in which he was placed most acutely. —Western Daily Preis.
