The increase of indigence has of necessity been considerable, and obit's.. tic date of trade changes for the better much more rapidh tuau is anticipated, therein every reason to fear that ne st redith there will he a still further increase in the somber, relieved. From inquiries made I find that the guardises I elleVed in the last week of October 8,144 able bodied we a. mud the local committees 4,72'2, making a total of 1.2„ono. vi tuoise relieved by the guardians men, and of those us tie local committees 4,112 are reported as being fit for tin ph:yawn& on public works, making a total of 8.372 stated to Le aoitaLle fur such employment ; but it is only right to add that considerable numbers of these persona, wbetuer •45 the books of the guardians or local committees, are iu zeaiipt of short-time wages, and consequently there is ,n to expect they will be among the first so chtisio fail and regular employment in their own branches of industry ; wetly also are resident in districts where uo puidic works base been enabled to be carried out. I beg to call the attention of the committee to the system still odiptel in opposition to the resolution of the com mittee passel on the I:db August, restricting the supple menting of the guardians' relief by local committees to unions wl.ere the pouptrisni exceeds 5 per cent, on the popu lation.

In conclusion, it is satisfactory to state that bow inquiries made float the various petty sessional d;vnions of the county the amount of crime con tinuis rather oii the decrease than otherwise, and it is with LO say.vfactioa that it can be stated that so far during the wuute period of the cotton famine no perceptible moral evil revels has been the consequence of such a crisis.

But the some misgivings that were cotertaieed from the moment the weights appeared pre mill, and although a few other animals were backed for the Cup, there was a certain lack of confidence on the ,art .if their respective supporters, which could not fail to iaireas oua with the idea thlt there must be some truth in the common assertion that the handicap is a queer one.

West Riding, requiring the opinion of each, for the information of the President of the Poor-law Board, oo the following proposition:—•• Whether the guardians of your union would view favourably a measure for abolishing the exiat:ng law of parochial settlement, and constituting the !several parishes of the union as one perish, for the purpose of rating and settlemeot ; or, whether they would prefer that the power of removal should he wholly abolished, and the entire cost of relief of all destitute persons within the union thrown upon the common fund." This comrsunica tion was regarded es significant of legislation on the subject, nod prior to the various boards considering it a meeting of chairmen, vice.ch►irmen, and clerks of unions was held at Bradford to ventilate the question. The various guardians there present, with one exception, expressed themselves in favour of the abolition of the poser of removal and the adoption of union rating and union settlement in prefereoos to national settlement. The exception was in the case of Leeds, the representatives from that union being in favour of national settlement. The various boards of guardians thus represented, with this exception, have since formally con firmed the view of the Bradford meeting. FIRE AT ()Lb Font,.—The printing ink manufac tory of Mr. Kidd', situate on the banks of the Lea, at Old lord. was yesterday morning, at ti o'clock, discovered to be on fire. it commenced in the tar or pitch rectifying house, and spread to the tanks of tar, which soon carried the flames t.. the rest of the premiere, all of which were con sumed before there was time for the London engines to reach the place. The premises were not insured. 'BESS, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8, 1884. LAW INTELLIGENCE. EQUITY COURTS.—Nov. 7. (Bofors Vies-Choocellor Sir W. P. Wood.) ZDGLNGTON 0. IDOLNOTON. This was a suit by Mr. Edgingtoo, the well-known tent maker, of London-bridge, to restrain the defendant, John Falgington, from so carrying on business as to hold himself out as • the same concern." It appeared that the plaintiff had a place of business in Piccadilly, and the defendant had portion of a shop, with the right of using it as address, on the opposite Bide of the way. It further appeared that Dr. Wbewell, anxious to expreee his loyalty in marquees, wrote to the defeudant, believing him to be the plaintiff, ordering teuta on the occasion of the Prince of Wales's visit to Cam bridge. Hence mistakes, difficulties, sod the present suit. Mr. Holt, Mr. Martin, Mr. Giffard, and Mr. Begahaw, were in the case. The ice. Chancellor said it was • case of grave suspicion, but he could not put it higher. Only oce case wu brought forward, and although he could not approve of the defen dant's conduct, he thought be could not make a decree. The bill would be dismissed, bat without costs. THE POLICE COURTS. BOW -STREET. Dr. Charles wateon,..of 1 , 3ooth-crescent, Bedford. square, appeared to answer a summons charging bun with having. on or about the 26th October, falsely represented himself to be a physician and surgeon, in violation of the provisions of the Medical Act. Mr. Tally, solicitor, appeared for the prowentioe, and Mr. Lewis, jun., for the defence. Mr. Tally made ► long statement introducing various irrelev►nt matters, which were constantly objected to by the magistrate and by Mr. Lewis, the time of the court being more occupied with the discussion than with the statement itself. This proceeded for a period of nearly an hoar. Omitting those passages which the magistrate ruled to be irregular, the substance of Mr. Tally's statement was that Dr. Watson had practised as ► physician and advertised himself as a medical practitioner, not having any English diploma nor being registered under the Medical Act. Mr. Tally also oleerved that it was not neceasery that these proceedings should be instituted by any medical body, as the act was not for the protection of the medical professioo, but of the public. Mr. Flowers said that as long u a man did not hold him- self forth u being registered he had • perfect right to prac tise. He might refuse to register. He could not recover his fees, nor could he obtain an appointment under govern- ment, but there was no prohibition against his practising, and he might be • skilful practitioner. Mr. Lewis then put in the defendant's diplomas, viz. : oils from the Medical College of New York ; one from the Medical Academy of France ; and one from the College of Rouen, with license to practise in medicine. Dr. Watson was a qualified and skilful practitioner although he had not chosen to register under the act. Mr. Flowers said the c.se was clearly not made out, and the summons must be dismissed. LAMBETH. _ John Hitchcock. a boy of 14 Teen of age, was charged before Mr. Eiliott with the mischievous act of setting tire to the furze growing on Streatham-common. Police-constable Leyth, 449 P, deposed that on Saturday night there was a large bonfire at the top of Streatham-com mon, and he saw the prisoner run from the fire with a lighted torch in his hand and set fire to a clump of furze on the oommon. Lie followed him and took him into custody, and on his return from the station-house be found the whole of the furze was consumed. The keeper of the common deposed that much damage had been done on Saturday night by the destruction of furze on the common. The prisoner was a stranger to him, and be bad not seen him on Saturday night. lie bad been shown the piece of furze destroyed by the prisoner, and he considered the damage done to amount to half-a-crown. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said he did not think he had done any harm. Mr. Llliott told him be bad been guilty of a most mis chievous act, sod ordered him to pay a penalty of 10s., and half-a.crowo, the amount of the damage he had done, or be imprisoned for 14 days. Three females, named Mary Ann Gillon, Emma and Sarah Pcrrin, rather decent-looking females, were charged with stealing • door, the property of Mr. Roy, • builder, at Stockwell.. . . The pnsoners admitted taking the door, but said it was merely for a " lark." Mr. Elliott observed that such larks could not be per mitted, and convicted the prisootrs in a penalty of 145., or 14 days' imprisonment each. METROPOLITAN WORKING MEN'S HALL COMPANY. A meeting convened by circular, and presided over by Mr. Thomas Hughes, 8.A., was held last night, is a room at St. Martin's-hall, for the purpose of considering • prospectus and plan for establishing the above company. The Chairman, having stated the object of the meeting, and expressed his earnest desire to see it carried out, Mr. John Bainbridge, bon. set pro ton. of the provisional committee, explained the origin of the present movement s and moved the following resolution :—" That this meeting isof opinion that a metropolitan hall, with rooms and offices attached, adapted for the use and convenience of the working classes and their various societies, is highly desirables and would conduce to their social, moral, and mental elevation." Mr. William Sheen, M.A. (Sheen and Roscoe), in confirming Mr. Bainbridge's statements, entered more fully into details, and urged the necessity of the working men taking the matter in hand themselves if it was to succeed. Mr. Mitchell, a working man, who se. ' ended the resolution, said he could speak for the large and influential body of Odd Fellows, dwelt upon the very great ia,portauce of helping them to get. out of the public. house, sod stated that he }their of thousands who walled for the establishment of such a halL—Mr. Edmond Beales said that having always felt a strong wish to see working men possess the means of expressing their views in public, the present scheme had bin hearty sympathy.—Captain Dresser Rogers spoke to the same effect, but urged that it must be based on sound commercial principles, and effectual measures taken to prevent the hall being perverted like so many others to the basest purposes.—Mr. 810301:12. • work ing engineer, said the working men's club movement afforded the requisite neutral ground ►nd the moral power for agitating this movement. He spoke warmly in support of the undertaking, and said there was a great desire for such central halls now among the working men--The Rev. H. Solly said that while he felt the importance of the hall as a place for public meetings, his purpose in originating the scheme primarily was rather for the Central Club and In stitute to be established in it, and which he felt sure would confer immense benate, not only in affording a substitute for the public-house, but in bringing the working and upper classes together in mutually beneficial intercourse. He stated that at Birmingham Reath, Birkenhead, Bristol, Southport, Aberdeen, and other places, the plan of • " limited liability company" for establishing these clubs bad been, or was about to be employed, and he hoped Lundell would not be behind-hand.... Mr. Dell, upholsterer, cor dially supported the views of the previous speakers, and urged the taking a large house at once by way of beginning, instead of waiting till they could raise • great capital to purchase a larger property. Mr. Cramer, while approving of the object, showed the difti- MALI*/ that stood in the way of working men's societies being removed from the public-house. Still he was convinced that many were desirous' that such a ball should be establtshed, and feeling strongly himself its importance he recom mended that the previsional committee should continue its labours with • view of obtaining more general support. He mentioned that Mr. Odgers, secretary of the London Trades Council,, had fully intended being present, but was unavoidably prevented. Mr. T. W.

A.VOTHER OUNPO WDER EXPLOSION, AND LOSS OF LIFE. Before the inquest on the bodies of the unfor tunate persons who were killed at the late explosion at the powder works of Beams. John Ball and Son, at Erith has closed, another catastrophe has occurred on the works be longing to the same firm, by which two lives have been sacrificed. This time the explosion took place at the works near Faversham. At about half-past three o'clock yester day afternoon a very loud report was heard, the cause of which proved to be an explosion is a corning house, situate about a mile and a half from Faversham, and forming a por tion of the Oare works. Two men were in the house at the time, and they were both killed instantly, either from the effect of the explosion, or the debris of the building falling upon them. They were not, however, to any very great extent disfigured, which may be accounted for from the quantity of powder that was in the house being smalL There was, in fact, but very little powder, for the house bad only a very short time previously been emptied, and the boat laden with the con tents was on its way to the glazing-house, and not more than 40 or 50 rods from the scene of the catastrophe when the explosion took place. It will be seen, therefore, that the powder which exploded was simply what had been left upon the door, and this the two men were in the act of sweeping up when it became ignited. But still the quantity was sufficiently large to cause a very loud report and de struction to the budding and the machinery therein. The explosion was beard and felt for a very considerable do : Mace around. At Faversham the inhabitants were put into a state of great alarm, while doors and windows rattled and the ground shook. We may here give a brief description of the situation of the corning house and the manner is which it was built, and in this it is right to state that every pre caution seemed to have been taken. It was built in the earth, as it were, the bank by which it was surrounded being some 30 feet in depth, and the walls are of immense thickness. The root was com posed of wood over which were tanks partially filled with water. It is situate some little distance from the other buildings, so that with the precautions that were taken it was almost impossible for any great destruction of property to have been caused. As we have before stated, the build ing was demolished, that is to say, the roof together with the tanks was blown off and shattered to atoms. The walla, however, remained intact, but • corning machine of considerable value met a similar fate to that of the roof and tanks. The embankment prevented the debris spreading about, and the broken timber and ma chinery therefore fell in the immediate vicinity from which they were blown. Large balks of timber were broken asun der, and the trees by which the house was surrounded were stripped of their branches. The two men who have fallen victims to this sad occurrence were found buried beneath the debris. It was known by the workmen that the de cease.] had been engaged in the corning house, and memo diately after the explosion • vigilant search was made for their bodies, and when found they were taken to a buildiog where they now lie awaiting the coroner's inquest. Nose of the other workmen were near at the time. The names of the deceased are Joho Sherwood, sen., and George Kern. The former was about 00 years of age, and had been em ployed at the gunpowder works for many Tem. Some time since he was slightly injured by the explosion of a "green charge." The age of Kees Will about 27 or 1.74: he was a married man, and leaves a widow and three children. The cause of the explosion is at present enveloped in mystery. THE CONVICT 31ULLEIC.—YeSterday 1110111110 g, at @even o'clock, the members of the German Legal Protection Society met at Seyd's Hotel, Fiusbury•square, for the pur• pose of reading the memorial to be presented to the Horne Secretary, praying for a respite of the convict Muller. The chair having been tattoo by the president of the society, Mr. M. D. Luker, the contents of the memorial were briefly discussed, and subsequently adopted unanimously. It wu afterwards resolved that it should be for warded to the Home Secretary on Wednesday morning. Every effort has been made oo the part of officials and others to impress upon the prisoner the fact that be must not entertain any hopes of his life being spared. This be seems fully to realise, but there is nevertheless no change whatever in his general demeanour. He is self-composed, and appears resigned to his fate, but continues when in terrogated to assert his innocence. On Sunday the convict wiu, visited by a German ch►plain, who spent a considerable time with him. The prisoner expressed himself thank. ful at the kindness shown him by the rev. gentleman, and paid devout attention to his ex hortations. He also attended chapel in the morn ing and afternoon. He afterwards passed the remainder the day in reading the German Bible which has been pre sented to him since his condemnation. He lay down to rest about seven o'clock, and slept soundly through the night, waking about nx yesterday morning. The German Legal Protection Society have, it is fair to state, so far from holding out hopes to the prisoner of his life being spared, impressed upon him the fact that they had done all they could do for him, and that he was to prepare for the dreadful sentence that would be carried out. They have never once hinted even at the fact of their getting up a memorial oo his behalf, and have sought, by every means possible, to keep it a secret, so far as the prisoner is con cerned.

Sittings in Banco.— (Before Lord Chief Justice Erie end Justices Bytes and Keating.) HARMER t. THE METROPOLITAN RAILN AT COMPANY.- COMPENSATION CASE. This was an action to recover &AV., the amount claimed by the plaintiff for some property which was about being taten by the defendants, upon the ground that they had neglected to issue their warrant to have the value of the property Reamed by a jury. At the trial before the Lord Chief Justice a verdict was returned for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. _ _ . . . Mr. 1). Keane, Q.C., now moved for a rule to enter a verdict for the defendants, and stated the following circum stances. The plaintiff. Mrs. rairker, was • leaseholder of some property which the defeodaota gave notice four years ago that they should require, but they bad not i• fact taken possession of it until the present time. They had however settled with Mr. Taylor, who was the plaiutiff's yearly tenant, and received the key from him. Thereupon Mrs. Barker served her notice, claiming compensation from the company, con tending that they had in law taken possession of her pro perty. The learned counsel stated that it was extremely important to railway companies that they should have power to settle with tenants who bad small interests in property at the most advantageous times, and to postpone the pur chase of the larger interests until the property should be actually required. He submitted that in this ease there was co taking of the property such ea would entitle the plaintiff to recover in this action. . . . . . The Court, however, said that the jury had found that the land had been taken by the company, and they were right in so finding. Rule refused. DOG° ITT V. CATrARRB.-OCT•DOOR BETTING. Mr. Ysatman said that the defeodsut in this cue was in the habit of standing in a particular place in the park, where be exhibited betting lists ant made bets upon horse races. The plaintiff handed him 5/. 10s., and took the odds of six to one for that amount upon a certain horse, which, how ever, it turned out was scratched several hours before the bet was made. The plaintiff thereupon sought to recover book his 51. 10s., but at the trial, before the Under-Sheriff, the verdict was for the defendant, subject to the opinion of the oonrt. The present motion *id; for a rule to enter a verdict for the plaintiff. The Betting-offices Act, so far as the pre amble of it indicated, seemed to be pointed against betting in home. ; but then the second section said that no house. office, room, "or other place," should be used for the purpose of betting; and the fifth section said that any money received as a deposit on any bet should be deemed to have been reosived for the use of the person for whom it had been paid, and should be recoverable in any competent court. Under these circumstances it was submitted that the plaintiff was entitled to recover the 5L 10s. under the terms of this act ; and it was further submitted that as the horse wee scratched at the time the bet was m de, no no risk of any kind had been incurred by the defendant, and, therefore, by the rules of the betting ring, and also according to the principles of law, the party depositing the money was entitled to receive it back. Rule granted. REGISTRATION APPEALS. The court has appointed the loth, 19th, 22nd, and 23rd of this month for hearing appeals from the decisions of re vising barristers. There are many more appeals than have been entered in any one year for many years past, the total number being In. but of these no less than eight are from the borough of Kidderminster. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. TriViam Bow, 18, was indicted for stealing 10 sovereigns, the moneys of Henry Ingrain, his master. He pleaded guilty to the indictment. This eras a case in which kindness had been met with the basset ingratitude in addition to dishonesty. The prosecutor is a licensed victualler, and keeps the Crown public-house, Leigh-street, Red Lion.squAre, and the prisoner was in his employ as potman. The prisoner robbed his former employer twice, and for which he was tried and sentenced to be kept in a reformatory for three years. When be was discharged be went to the prosecutor, whom he had known before, and begged biro to employ him, so as to give him an opportunity of regaining Lis character, Lod thus enable hint to obtain employment, and he consented to do so. On Saturday, the 16th of June, he was sent with ten sovereigns to get changed into silver, bat be absconded with them and was not taken for some time afterwards, but not one far thing of the money had been itcover4d. This was the return the prisoner had made to him for the kindness he had shown him. The Assistant-Judge having commented upon the base ingratitude of the prisoner to a gentleman who had acted so kindly towards him, said as a warning to others who were given an opportunity for reformation but betrayed those who trusted them in such a way, he should pass a severe sentence upon bin, which was that he be kept in penal servitude for live year'. Henry lityltirvAl, 49, shoemaker, and Joreph Allen, 27, labourer, were indicted for stealing seven bore* of figs, the property of the London Dock Company. Both the prisooers pleaded guilty. The articles, it seemed, were got out of the docks by means of false passes. The prisoners were both labourers in the docks, Highwood having been there for 24 years, and the other prisoner for le years. The prisoner Highwood said he bad been for 24 years in the employ of the London Dock Company, and for 14 years he had been employed there constantly. He bad brought up a family in resiectability by working during his over hours as a shoemaker. lie had never been absent for more than two days inn year during the 21 years be had been employed, and was never intoxicated on the premises. The Assistant-Judge--Then you suddenly threw away the good character you have bad for 24 years. Hi‘hwood said he had never done anything of the kind before, but he bad lost 150/. by bad debts. He bad given all his family a good education, and some of them were em ployed in the first houses in the City. lie bad lost his situ*. tion, his character, and 351. be had paid to the oompany on account of a superannuation allowance. His ware were only lgs. • week, but every week there was stopped 3a. Did. The Assistant-Judge said that these statements were only an aggravation of his offence, but as he had lost 35/., which he had paid as a superannuation, and which was in fact his own money, that would be taken into consideration in the punishment that would be awarded. The sentence of the court was that each of the prisoners be imprisoned and kept to Bird labour fur three months. William Sfayuire. 23, was indicted for assaulting Richard Thomas Tub)" assistant overseer of Morylebooe Work house, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and The Assistant-Judge sentenced him to he imprisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve month• Th.mar Flaherty, 40, was indicted for stealing several sums of money, the moneys of Lord Boston, his master. There were about six indictments against the prisoner ; to some he pleaded guilty, and to others not guilty. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. F. H. Lewis appeared for the prose cution. Mr. Sleigh said they would not take up the time of the court in trying the caws to which the prisoner had pleaded not guilty. but it was the wish of Lori Boston, sod, he thought, a very proper wish, that all the facts should be laid before the court. It would be seen in reference to one of the charges to which the prisoner had pleaded guilty that Lord Boston had • carriage and horses at Brighton, and he gave direetions to the prisoner, who was his coach man, to drive the horses by easy stages to Lordon. Ooe of these horses was worth upwards of 200/. ; but instead of the prisoner doing as he was directed, he stopped only once for a short time, and drove the horses all the way to London. He was entrusted with money to pay for stabling on the journey, and his positive instructions were to drive by easy stages to London. The Aseiatant.Judge said the prisoner was not indicted for cruelty to animals. Mr. Sleieh said he was not, but he pretended that be bad paid for the expenses on the journey, although no such ex pauses had boen incurred. The Ass stant-Judge inquire! what wages the pririoner was paid !. Cord Boston said his wages were 301. • year, and lie. weekly board wages. Besides that his wife and family oc cupied • lodge for which they paid no rout, and they had milk end other things for which they ('aid nothing. One of the horses which he had driven from Brighton, worth more than 2004, was so distressed upon its aural at Pim lico, that it almost dropped down in the street, and wen taken into a yard, where it remained for some time, and could hardly walk about, and it was thought it would never recover. lodeed both the horses were completely useless from the fatigue they had undergone. The prisoner said he bad to pay the blacksmith's bills, sad he had not sufficient money, and he told some rambling story as to all the bills being paid. The Assistant-Judge said this was a most lamentable cam, as it wan one where a man was paid most liberally, with a salary of Jo!. a year, and 14s, board wages, and his wife and family provided with a house and necessaries for which they had nothing to pay. As • rotors for this Medusas the pri soner ►ad robbed his master, and the sentence upon him was that ha be impreceed mid kept to hard labour for 12 months. THE WINE FRAHM. Charles Eaton De Witt and Duncan McLean Wright, who are under remand charged with conspiring together and attempting to obtain, and obtaining a quan tity of wines to the value of about 5,0001. from Messrs. Garcia Rabet Brothers, by means of false pretences, and also with uttering seve ral forged bills of exchange to the terms amount knowing them to be forgeil, were yesterday again placed at the bar of the Mansion•house, before the Lard Mayor, to undergo a further examination. . • , Mr. Sleigh, the barrister, instructed by Mr. Chidley, sp• peered to conduct the prosecution; Mr. Wavell, who is assisting in the prosecution on behalf of the Universal Mer. motile Association, we. present to watch the proceedings. Mr. Beard appeared for the prisoner be Witt, and Mr. Miller appeared to watch on behalf of Mr. Stannard, one of the witnesses. It will be remembered that on the last occasion the evi dence adduced was with respect to the second transaction, which was conducted through Mr. Homage. who received a letter purporting to come from Messrs. John Stewart and Co., of Manchester, requesting him to negotiate for the purchase of wines between them and Messrs. Garcia BAWL The prisoner Wright, it will also be remembered, was mot brought up originally with Do Witt, but was apprehended subsequently by DetectiveSerge►nt Spital. Mr. Sleigh yesterday alluded to several lettere which he said had been received by Mr. Ramage, and which purported to be signed Joo. Stewart and Co.. in respect to the purchase of wines, and which enclosed the bills which were sent to that gentleman, and handed by him to Mr. Lopez. He should then call the person known as Taylor, but whose real name was Wilding (the name of Taylor haw. Mg been takes by him at the suggeation of Wright), and he would prove that the letters be had alluded to were in the handwriting of Wright. He would also produce evidence to show that the prisoners were connected with and associated with each other. Mr. Ramage, Mr. Wilding, and other witnesses were thou called. This concluded the case on the part of the prosecution, and the prisoners were committed for trial. A CLERICAL SWINDLER. —At the Northampton Quarter Sessions, last week, the Rev. Charles James, • clergyman of the church of England, was found guilty on no leas than three indictments of obtaining od, by false pre tences, and was seotenoed to five years ' penal servitude. The career of the rev, delinquent has been one of a most extraordinary nature. He as • native of Oxford, and after receiving his early education at the Grammar School con nected with Magdalen College in that university, he was entered as a gentleman commoner at Cambridge. He was subsequently ordained, and gradually relapsed into a course of life *hien has brought disgrace upon his profession. Some years ago, during the severe illness of the vicar, he was engaged to officiate as • curate in • small pariah in the North Riding of Yorkshire, sod being a good reader and preacher be soon became a favourite with the coupe genet). The vicar, however, had to sooner left borne than he began to show himself in his true colours. He dressed himself in • drab wideawake hat with blue ribbons, and eugaged in the undiguined calling of breaking in oohs for the farmers. Ile made a point of dining at one farm, drinking tea at another, and supping at a third, and gene rally returned to his lodgings in • state of intoxication. Such conduct could oat, of course, be tolerated, and his curacy was brought to • premature termination, but before leaving the neighbourhood he managed to obtain a good quantity of wearing apparel, besides leaving most of his bills unpaid. The next thing he did was to order a new clerical dress of Messrs. Smith and Co., clerical tailors, Southampton-street, Strand, but the character of the fellow was discovered before the order was completed, and he then resorted to • more ingenious method of raising the wind. A poor schoolmaster adver tised an organ for sale for 501., amid Mr. James opened negotiations for the purchase of it, and eventually ordered it to to sent to Paddingtoo station, to be left till called fur. In the meantime be advertised the organ for sale, but the design was frustrated by the owner taking the instrument to London himself, where Mr. James could not be found. He subsequently unders eat two months' imprisonment in Oxford Gaol for leaving his wife and family chargeable to the union, and was also imprisoned in Lincoln Gaol for four mont hs for • felonious assault on a butcher who had asked him for payment of his bill. After spending some time io Maidstone Gaol and St. Pancras Workhouse, be returned to Oxford, and resorted to various expedient. for raising money. About Cbristmaa he obtained a quantity of blankets from a firm at Leominster, on the plea that they were intended for distribution amongst the poor, and then disposed of them for a quarter of their value. He also obtained an harmonium, value Ix 2 guineas, from Messrs. Evans and Co. musicsellers, London, on the ground that it was require d • village near Chipping Norton, where he rid he held • curacy, but on the receipt of the instrument he sold it for Nt. In the month of Augtnit last be took up his quarters at • beer-house at Fenny Stratford, known as Innbigh Hall. from which place he wrote a letter to Messrs, Norman and Shepherd, drapers, Northampton, ordering 2u yards of black silk and two half-mourning dresses. „ adapted to servants' wear," to be sent to him. Thinking that Denbigh Hall was a gentleman's mansion, and not • beer house, Messrs. Norman and Shepherd forwarded the goods to Mr. James, who immediately proceeded to convert the silk into cash by selling it to the landlady. He also ob tained goods from two other tradesmen in • similar way, for which offence he was found guilty, and sentenced, as has been already stated, to five years' penal servitude.— Birminylui In Post. THE BCROLART AND ATTEMPTED MURDER IN THE FOREST OF DEAN.—From information received by Police-constable Tanner, of Blakeney. be succeeded. on Wed. nesday evening, in apprehending one of the supposed burg. lire in • puolic-house near Blakeney. Oa the day before the attempted murder, two tramping fellows went into • shop at Parkend and purchased some bread and bacon. One of the men produced a loug black beg which be held for the other to put the articles purchased into. It appears the masks have been identi bed by the person who served the men on this occasion, and thus suspicion at once rested on these men. It has also further transpired that both of the men went begging through Whitecroft on the saireday, and one of them begged at the house of Mr. Wood, whilst the other remained outside. The tenon apprehended gave his name aa Samuel Fletcher, • native of Church Strettoa, Yorkshire, and said he was employed for several yews by Messrs. Griffiths and Son, at the Wolf Colliery, Oldbury , Staffordshire. On Thursday be was taken before Mr. Alleway, at Lydney, and was remanded until the following day. The prisoner's appearance was anything but agreeable, while his clothing was in • very ragged state. He protested hie innocence. The other man has not yet been apprehended. We bear that Mr. Wood, jun., who was shot, was not so well on Thurs day, the ball, which is still in his body, having 'kilted to inside the shoulder blade.—Gloureater Journal.
