John reake, being examined by Mr. Baker Grime, de. ix pi d—l am • boot and shoemaker, end reside In Bow s treet, Glasgow. I know a man named M`Nakty. I hams k n own him about two years. I recollect being in his hones pp a Saturday in December last. I was coming from my marter's shop, after getting paid, when I met • friend of t rue, who is • shoemaker also. I asked him to &com pany me to M'Nulty's, and he agreed to do so. When we went into M'Nulty's I saw a strange whom I had not seen before. WI/why was there at the time. That man in the dock (Barrett) is the strange M`Nalty asked me if I would oblige him by doing • Tale job for him, and I asked him what kind of a job was it. He replied soling and heeling and welting a rr,ir of boots. My friend and I then commenced repairing the boots in M'Nulty's shop. When we sat down to repair the boots, the strange man called M'Nolty's son, and sent him for the Eaning Pod. This was between 3 and 4 on the Satur day. I had left off work at 9 o'clock in the morning. The boy brought in the paper and the strange man read it. Be read about the explosion in Ckrkenwell. I had beard of the explosion in the morning from our foreman. My friend and I finished the boots between 6 and 7 o'clock, and then the strange men went away and took the boots with him. By the Attorney-General—l worked for Mr. M'lntosh, Stockwell-street. I left Wlntosh's employ about two months ago. I now work for Mr. Martin, of the Callow gate. Ido not know James Miller, but I heard of him in 4:,4sgow. Between 9 o'clock in the morning and the time I went to M'Nulty's I was at different places, amongst where in the house of a man M'Cann. I was walking :lout till I went to M•Nulty's. I met the other man ac caudally in Stockwell-street. I was paid at 2 o'clock on tte Saturday. I received lbs. When I went into 11'Nulty's the stringer was sitting. I think the clothes be wore then were the earns he has on now. He wore a felt hat which was round at the top. I 4saw 11`Nulty the next week. I am in the habit of fre , roily calling at his house. I do not know M'Manus, I have heard his name mentioned. I believe M`Nulty re:rived a letter from 111`blanna. M`Nulty came to my Lo4.se. The name of the other man who assisted me in repairing the hoots is Walsh. I had heard of Barrett and ...Neil being taken up at Glasgow before that. I cannot say bow long after Barrett's arrest the letter was received !rote M•3lanus. We are all lodging now near Fleet-street. Se-examined by Mr. Greene—l went to receive my n.4 , ney at 2 o'clock on the Saturday. While passing down t.t street I met Walsh, and then we went to M`Nulty's. Ey Baron Bramwell —When Barrett read about the ex ;',.ion we commenced talking about it. I said it was a .•:y bad thing. I don't remember any particular remark. I ..e not remember whether the shoe I mended was the left right. !.y the Lord Chief Justice—The first day I beard of the • ,plosion was the same day I was at M`Nulty's Donee. I prepared to swear th a t. . . . . lihn`Walsh examined—l live at 78, Stockwell-street, ueow, and am a shoemaker. I work at Neeson's.

We to 11'Nulty's ' where we saw a man who was waiting have his boots dose. That man at the end of the deck (Barrett) is the man I saw there. M'Nulty ssked Peaks ••• do the job. Peaks inquired when he wanted them lone, and M'Nulty replied in two hours. Peaks said he ,oald not do them within that time, and I then offered to •!n one of the boots. We then set to work and finished the boots. I had never seen the strange man before. He i.ent out for a paper which was bought, and he read an Account of an explosion. By the Lord Chief Justice—l don't remember whether Le read anything else in the paper. Examination continued—l heard of the explosion in the morning. I saw it announced in the placards of the newe l. .pers. I had not heard anything of the particulars of the explosion until the strange man read them. Wo finished the boots about half-past 6. By the Attorney-General—Mr. Neeson, for whom I worked, is a manufacturer. M'Nulty did not work for him while I was employed there. The stranger wore dark lothes and a bolt hat with a round top. I know James Mullen, he worked at Notion's while I was there. Ido aot know Irfilanna. I heard that Barrett and O'Neill had taken up in Glasgow.

I recognise Michael Barrett, whom I t...e known since last August, when I met him in • sic ball in Glasgow. 1 generally saw him once a week .tt• r. I recollect the time of the executions in Man- Earon Braniwell—You mean the murder of Brett? :Ir. Greene -Yee, my lord. loon Bramwell—That is the proper way to describe it. Examination continued—There was a demonstration on ;.art of the Irish in Glasgow at that time. I saw Mr. orry and Michael Barrett there. The object of the :...mnstration was to petition the Home Secretary. The e , ning I heard Barrett say his face bad been almost str.,yri by a torchlight. When I saw him in August Lc had In.lit small whiskers. When I saw him after the .lemondr ton he had no whiskers. The droppinp frwn ti.. t“reh-lights had signed them. After this it • movo. e d that we should have a demoristra hon in honour of the executed men from Glasgow. • to Dalbath Cemetery.

In consequence of this the demonstra ',ll was odoned. A gentlemen named Gallagher and h-,trctt were present at the meeting. It was held on the to of the kith of December, at the Bell Hotel.

It stated that the dithaultise of the eon pay, miming originally from the high pries the had to c oay=a their proptety were very much by the the width took place at tie Oxford Mamie Hell some months ego. Mr. Kay, Q.C., and Mr. J. N. Higgins. for the peg- Meows, asked that the petition raijhi stead fix a fort aiiot, in order to enable a meeting of shareholden to be bell to pass • resolution for a wioding op ender super widen. Mr. Ince, for the holders of several thousand shares in the company, asked the court to direct a meeting antler the 149th section of the Companies Act—which, in order to ascertain the wishes of creditors or contributories, enables meetings of creditors or contributories to be head— man/I meetings to be regulated as the oourt should direct. It appears that ► call hae been rands, but there has not yet been time to pay it, and many of the creditors are anxious that the concern shall still go on. Mr. Swan/ton Q.C., for other shareholders, supported the same sontenkon. for-;;;, QC., for the company, said he could offer no oposition to the application. Mr. W. F. Robinson, for some shareholders, also sup ported the proposition. The Vice-Chancellor thought the proposal to hold • meeting under the 149th seen= very reasonable e and the petition wee ordered to stand over till the first petition day of next term, te scads • meeting to be summoned under the 149th section, at which all the shareholders and creditors should be entitled to vote, • diatinction being made as to the votes of those shareholders who had not paid the Thenmmunity order, under the rules, would have to be obtained in &ambers.

Mills,, an order wee made under the Railways Act, 1887, for the appoint. ment of a manager of this undertaking, and of a receiver of the tolls,rente, calls, and arrearsof calls, due, or from time to time become due, of the railway. This was the flirt order that has been made under the section. Mr. Winterbotham, for the company, did not appose. THE VACANT BIRHOPRIC. —The Manchester Guardian of to-day remarks :—" Mr. Disraeli has now • bishopric at his disposal. Of coarse no ritualist seed apply for the vacant mitre. If, however, we may trust rumour, the Premier will meek to conciliate the high church party in this his first essay as bishop maker. The dignity, it is said, is likely to be conferred upon the Dean of York— e high churchman, and a member of the great Tory family of Dunoombe." The Bishop of Oxford entertained at dinner last night, at Caddeedon Palace, the Archbishop of Canter bury and /Cue Longley, the Right Hon. Claiborne and Mims Hardy, Sir W. Heathcote, the Bishop of Lichfield and New Zealand and Mrs. Selwyn, the Vice-Chancellor, and the Heads of Houses at Oxford. On the motion for the second reading of the Government Education Bin, in the Lords, on Monday, the Earl of Airlie will more that the bill be read a second time that day three months.

In the House of Lords, next Friday, the Mar quis of Townahead will move an addrese to her Majesty, asking for a royal commission to inquire into the adminis tration of the Poor-lawn. Sir Thomas Lloyd, M.P. for Cardiganshire, taints to And that his vote in favour of Mr. Gladstone's resolutions on the Irish Church has displeased some of his supporters and alarmed his brother churchmen. He justifies his vote by the opi nions expressed by Mr. Disraeli, Lord Stanley, and the late Sr G. C. Lewis, in reference to the position of the Irish church. Hewes actuated by a desire to do justice to the Irish people, but under no conceivable circumstances would he txMasnt to the severance of church and state in Greet Britain. He does not believe in universal free churches, and therefore he advisee his countrymen to banish the thought of them ; but Le urges both church men and nonconformists to sink minor differences, and " boldly confront the common danger arising from in fidelity on the one hand, and Popery on the other." The next exhibition of the National Tulip Society is appointed to take place in the Mancheater Botanical Gardens, in conjunction with the Great National Horticultural Exhibition, on the 29th of May.

EXTRAORDINARY ENCOVNTHR WITH • SALMON.— The Field prints the following le tter freer Peter M'Phersoo, the keeper of T. Bass, ~ Y.P., at Olen Takhan, by Gmntown, N. 8., on the S pey . " Honoured Sir —I beg leave to inform you what took place here on Saturday, last, the 11th init. The Hon. Major Anson, with Bandy Grant, having been out fishing, were so be home to dinner at eight o'clock. I looked out every way, and could not get any trace of them. I then started in search, and at about 10 o'clock found them at Spasm*, hooked in • monster of a salmon, and they told me they bad had him on for four hours. The night being pitch dark, we had to get lights, never doubtinc that we should have him landed in • few minutes. Bendy got • torch of straw, and went in the river to pR him. Up he went up the stream of Spinach at the rate of no allow ance. The fish left Sandy far behind, and bolted down again. We then bad to get a light on the south side of the Spey. We then went after him with • boat, when the people of the glen, seeing the lights, got alarmed; and Sandy's wife and sister, thinking be had been drowned, made for the scene of action, and, finding all hands at work, went hoots again, in the hopes that the salmon would be landed soon. But the monster began to make hard for life. We had to cross the river more than a dozen times as hard as we eould row. One of these times the line got round me and the oar, and got twisted round the rod. The major thought all was up, and said he was gone, when I called out to him he was still on. The salmon continued to fight till it was after 6 o'clock in the morning, when the fish was giving way a little. I then lot within • foot of him with the gaff. They might think I ought to have clipped him then, but I aunt not run the risk, when he rushed like a stroke of light across the river, and the fly came out of him, to the mortificition of every one. The major's endurance wee wonderful. He played this hard-mouthed creature for twelve hours, and in places where few men could have stood. He has killed six fins minion since Thursday." THE QUORN. —A meeting to decide the future of the Quorn Hunt was held it the Bell Inn, Leicester, on Thursday. No one came freak Melton Mowbray. The warmest satisfaction was expressed at the sport shown by Lord Hastings, and the kind, conciliatory way in which he had moducted matters in the &Id —punctuality alone exeepled. lffr.

ASSASSINATE DUKE OF EDINBURGH The following telegram has been received: THE EARL OF DELMORE, Bronzy, To SEORETAE.Y OF STATE, OoLoxim. &nat. On the 12th March a person named Offarell deliberately shot his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh in the back at a public picnic given in aid of the Sailor's Home at Clontarf, Nidle Harbour, Port Jackson. Providentially the wound was not fatal, and he is now able to go on board his ship, and hopes shortly to resume his duties. The ball was easily removed on Saturday, the 14th March, by Doctors Watson sad Young, of her Majesty's ships Challenger and Galatea. Offsrell fired another shot the moment he was seized, which severely wounded a gentleman named Thorne in the foot; the ball has been extracted, and he is doing well. The assassin, who avowed himself to be a Fenian, was arrested on the spot. In consequence of the report of a medical board, Commodore Lambert has ordered his Royal Highness to return to England as soon as he is sufficiently recovered, which will probably be next week. The despatch from the Earl of Belmore convey ing the above deplorable intelligence wu received at the Colonial-office last night by the Dake of Buckingham and Chandoa, having been telegraphed from Gallo. The despatch received at the Admiralty is from Commodore Lambert, and is also dated from Point de Calle. It states that the ball entered the back, half an inch from the spine, struck the ninth rib, followed round the course of the rib, and lodged five inches from the umbilicus, and four inches and a quarter beneath the right nipple, having traversed a distance of twelve inches and a quarter. The same authority says that on the 20th Marcb his royal highness was " able to go on board his ship." The assassin, who avowed that he was a Fenian, was arrested and arraigned before the Supreme Court, charged with " shooting with intent to kill." DESTITUTION AND _OVERCROWDING IN .ST. LUKI'3. An inquiry was held by Mr. Humphreys, coroner, at the Rose and Crown Tavern, Boahill-row, St. Luke's, feat evening, respecting the death of a little girl, 4 years old named Caroline Boykin's. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased was one of six children, who, with their father and mother, lived in one room in Green-arbour-wart. The father, a cabinet-maker, bad only been partially employed dunng the last six months, and after paying the rent of his room, he had only 9a. or 10a. left for the maintenance of himself and his family. They never had anything but bread and butter, and last week the child died. The pariah surgeon, Mr. E. Braes, said the room in which the whole family lived was not above ten feet square, and it was, besides, used as a workshop. The de ceased had died of a low form of typhus fever, the result of bad nourishment and the absence of light and air. The medical officer added that there were scores of such houses in his district, and one half of his patients were poisoned by want of ventilation before they came into his hands. The verdict of the jury was, " That the deceased died from exhaustion from fever, cansad by low diet, from poverty, and by overcrowding, and want of proper sanitary accommodation in the room in which she lived."
