Esterbrook, and was indorsed by the prisoner and by the firm of Scott and Cook. He paid the bill away in the regular course of business, and it wax returned to him dishonoured. He sued Mr. Esterbrook, the alleged ac ceptor, who said the signature was a forgery. In cross examination the witness said he did not know the pri soner was living at Princes-rosd, Notting-hi ll , since the bill was returned to him. He would swear the bill was not in Esterbrook's writing. The prisoner had said the acceptance was not in the handwriting of Esterbrook. He ;, told the prisoner the acceptance was not in the handwtit- r ing of Esterbrook, and the prisoner said the acceptor was his first cousin and had authorised him to sign his name , to the bill.

John Crump, who was described as • labourer, was * brought before Mr. Daman, charged with wilfully neglect- Mg his two young children under circumstances of • very a ful nature. d i r i r ir e peetor Usher, of the V division, stated that between I 12 and 1 o'clock on the previous night he was on duty at the station when he received information which induced him to go to Hill's-yard, Frogrnore, Wandsworth, where, on looking through • broken window of an empty house, he saw something lying underneath. The door was locked, and he had to use force to open it. On entering the home he found two young children, aged four and nine years, lying under the window, covered over with some rags, and in a shocking state of filth. The prisoner soon afterwards returned home in a state of intoxication and said the children belonged to him. Wit ness sent the children to the workhouse and the prisoner with neglecting them. The inspecto c r i flled that it would take • week or a fortnight to cleanse the children, as they would have to par through the infir mary and have their heads shaved. The prisoner denied neglecting his children, and said that one bad been sufering from an abscess in the head, and that he attended to it himself. He also denied return ing home drunk. Inspector Usher said he was drunk, and was smoking • short pipe. Mr. Deyman told the prisoner he had put himself in • perilous position, for if he were to be sent for trial he would be sentenced to • long imprisonment, which he would most richly deserve. If be went about drinking he must neg lect his children, and as for attending to them he did not believe him. The prisoner said he could not be • drunkard when he attended to his work. Mr. Layman said his conduct had been disgraceful, and he had not the feelings of • father. Inspector Usher further stated that the neighbours had complained to the relieving officer, who advised them to go to the police. He never saw children in a more neg lected state. Mr. Layman remanded the prisoner for a week to con sider whether he should send him for trial or not. The prisoner, who appeared not to have neglected him. self, was then removed to the cells. HUTCHINSON V. HUTCHINSON AND BASSIST. Mr. Searle for the petitioner, who is a hairdresser, for merly of Nottingham, where he married the respondent, andthen of Ipswich, where he still lives. The case was some what similar to the preceding. The respondent contracted drunken habits. and rendered her husband's home intoler able ; so he sent her away, but with • provision.

So very youthful and so very fair is this devoted girl that it is dirficult to control a feeling of pain at her presence under such circumstances. But she offered her help at a time when, from the sudden inroad of cases, ouch meietanoe was urgently required, and nobly has she followed her self-sought duty. .Wherever the needs greatest and the work hardest, there she is to be seen toiling until her limbs almost re fuse to sustain her. And the effect of the fair young creature's presence has been that the nurses have been encouraged by her never-failing energy and cheeriness, so that dread of the disease has been lost in efforts to combat it. This is an instance of devotion which it would be an insult to praise—it need only be recorded.—Lancet. THE FATAL ACCIDENT TO A SOLICITOR.—Yes ' terclay Dr. Lankester held an adjourned inquest at the board-room of the Holborn Union, on the body of Joseph Benton, a solicitor, of Clement's-inn, Strand, and Read ing, Berk., who was run over in the Gray's-inn-road, and taken to the Royal Free Hospital. A lengthened inquiry took place, in the course of which it appeared that death was caused b ruptureof the liver, the result of thesocident, I The deceased was not, it appeared 'sent to the police-station from the hospitel, but as he bad given his address, and expressed a wish to that effect, a policeman was entrusted with the duty of taking him home. On his way, how ever, he wished to go to the pollee-station to give the per tioulars of the Ices of his watch, and was accordingly taken there. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death," but expressed an opinion that it would have been better if he had been detained at the hospital. EXPLOSION AT SEA.—PLIWOCTIT, JULY 27. — The London General Steam Shipping Company's screw steamer Alford, from Cardiff to Charente, put in at Plymouth this afternoon, dismantled from an explosion of coal gas on board, which took place this morn i ng at sea. Fifty feet of her deck were blown up, the boatswain killed, and a seaman badly injured.—Reuter's Tdegram. THE THIEF'S CONFESSION. — And their tongues are not more accustomed to lying than their fingers to theft. These two vices are practised from earliest youth, and so powerful is habit that reform in them particulars is very rare. They look upon thieving as an art worthy of deep study, and pride themselves on their dexterity. A 1/010411 said when urged to give it up, " Of course what youllay is right, bat lam so cloves at it.

CAPTURE or CAPTAIN 8/WETLAND, RN., BY BRIOANDS.—Letters from Girgenti of the 12th July, revolved by the last Italian packet, state that Cap tain Shortland, commanding her Majedy's steam-vessel Hydra, and two seamen, have been captured by bri gands near St. Marco, South Coast of Sicily, whilst taking sights on shore, in connexion with the survey. The capture maned on the 7th of July, twelve miles in shore on Mount Raffadale. Twenty-seven bri gands were counted, and a number of other per sons, evidently friends to them, were seen in the vi cinity. We are glad to state, however, that the gallant captain and the two men were released after &short deten tion and the payment of a ransom of 396 h, which was paid by the interpreter. who was allowed to go on board the Hydra for it. The brigands could hardly have been aware of the value of their prize, or we do not think they would have been so easily satisfied.—Malta Times, July 19. WHAT THE " RECORD " "(HOWL—Troops, how ever, especially infantry, are dangerous tools to play with. We speak of what toe know, when we extort that the temper of the men has been sorely tried by the harassing character of the duties In which they were employed, and by their being kept night after night, out of their beds. Nothing but the per fect discipline of our army, and the anxious care of the racers in command, prevented their coming to blows with the snob on Tneeday, and that after a fashion which would have settled the question speedily and effectually, but which would have settled it ins way which we should all deplore.—Record.

THE DOUBLE MURDER IN SOMERS TOWN. ADJOURNED INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.) —--- - - This morning, Dr. Edwin Lanicester resumed the inquiry relative to the above shocking event at the Rising Sun Tavern, 120, Euston-road, the dammed being Emma , Butcher, aged 3 years and 6 mouths, and Agnee Butcher, aged 12 months, who were supposed to have been drowned in a tub of water by their mother, Meg Butcher, who afterwards attempted to drown herself in the water-butt at 67 Wilatead-street, Somers-town. Inspector Fraser of the Y division of police, said he had seen the mother of the children a short time ago, and she was very feeble and unable to appear before the court. He presented the following certificate from Mr. Butt, the surgeon of St. Pancras Infirmary : 'I hereby certify that Mary Butcher, aged 39, has had a very bad night and is this morning unable to attend the cuurt. tSigned) W. F. Burr, Surgeon, St. Pancras Infirmary." The following additional evidence was then taken : John Brown, of 67, Wilstead-street, stated that he had known the Butchers for about 18 mouths. The last week Mrs. Butcher appeared to be rtrange in her manners. Last Saturday morning he heard some moaning is the yard and went to ascertain the cause. He found Mrs. Butcher in the water-butt crouched up. The water was up to her neck, and her head was lying on one side. He knocked the tap out of the butt to let the water out quickly, and having obtained assistance she was taken out. Witnem then called in the assistance of Mr. Jack son. Margaret Brawn, wife of last witness, said she was in timate with Mrs. Butcher. On Saturday morning she saw her lying on a bench in the yard. She appeared to be insensible. Whensbe recovered she asked for the chil dren. She said she wanted to suckle the baby. The hus band said they were at the grandmother's. Witness did not think she knew even at the present time that they were dead. About a quarter to 8 witness, with Mrs. Brad ford, were endeavouring to restore Mrs. Butcher, when Mn. Bradford remarked bow toadly the children wen sleeping. The father then went to the bed, and, touching one of them, exclaimed, " Good God, she's dead!" He touched the other, and found her also dead. He took Emma, the youngest, out of the bed, and walked about the room kissing her, and calling her his dear angel, and exclaiming, 'Oh my pretty angel—it's dead, it's dead." There was a tub of water in the room, in which were some children's clothes. One of the deceased had on a bedgown, hut she could not say whether it was wet. There were three other children in the room, when Mrs. Butcher was carried in, the eldest being 10 years of age. The Coroner here made inquiry as to whether any of the surviving children could give any account of the matter. Inspector Frazer said he had questioned the children but neither could say anything about it. The eldest child said they were all asleep. William Butcher (the unhappy father) &leo stated that on questioning the children they stated that they were eski. The p Ooroner having referred to the CAM, uked the jury whether at this stage they were prepared to come to *ver dict, or whether they would adjourn for the attendance of the woman. The jury preferred an adjournment, u they hesitated to reborn a verdict without having seen the accused. An adjournment was then agreed to. 60.0001 10,000 1 6,000 1 &moo , 17,156 J 8,0001 10,0001 20,000, 10,100 WOO)! _ _ 00,000 $O,OOO 00,000 110,000 16,000 12,000 27,210 10,000; !: S OOZi 17,061 10,000 10,001100 ^OOO 00 63 65 lISISIMM._ ~' Te SS so es 100 102 sot los* 100 101 101 211 86 87 66 66 I 48 62 j 60 64 46 60 I 38 42 8610 j 26 27 24 26 j 105 106 fpm 1 11 60 I Ipm MI 100 j 15 15} 64 6 die 111 SS BS 96 le 1 dla . 911 99 Is 91 96 la I 60 61 100 Ift 56 86 SO $8 96 $7 06 97 1 01 166 961 JOINT 1170C.Z.
