: 4 - LORD DUFFERIN THE ON THE CHURCH. DISESTABLISH- NENT OF IBBIRE • The Northern Whig 01 yesterday publishes the following letter, which has just been addressed by Lord Dufferin to his agent : 8, Groswener-equars, London, April 6,1868. My dear Mr. Thomson,—lt is very evident from the division on Friday night. that the future legislation of parliament will lead to the diasetabliehment of t►e epis copal church in Ireland, as well as to large modifie•- tions in the character and in the amount of all existing soclesiastical endowuients, and public grants to religious ►odies, in that country. Such • prospect will, undoubtedly, Mlle great distress to many good, wise, and honourable men in the North of Ireland, who conscientiously believe tint the welfare of our protestant Church is essentially dependent on its connexion with the State. To such as these we can lolly hope that the ovent may being a welcome oonvietion that their present forebodings are ill-founded. For my own part, I am persuaded that this contemplated act of . justice to our Roman catholic fellow-ouuntrymen, apart from its political consequence., will do more to awaken the 'sal of churchmen, and to edemas the interests of the reformed faith in Ireland, than anything that has been done there during the last 300 years. But there are others who, regarding t! e future from a practical point of view, regret the burden which each changes, no matter how gently introduced, will ultimately entail on the industrious protestant population of the country. To these we might reply, that the calla to be hereafter made upon our co-religionists, will only he similar to those to which more than 4,000,008 catholic, have never ceased to be subject. Bat inasmuch as such considerations, however opportune, seldom have any effect on the human understanding, it is right for all those who ae bound to exert themseiVes in atieli a crisis to come forward at once, and do their best to dispel the anxiety • of their fellow protestants with regard to the future. As %brunt all the persons resident upon my estates and in my neighbourhood belmg to the presbyterian body, and as it is upon the agricultural presbyterian congre gations, among whom no very wealthy members are to be found, that the withdrawal of State assistance would tell with the great rat ity, I shall be obliged by your , putting yourself at once into communication with the several presbyterian ministers on my property, and giving them an assurance from me that it is my intention, as soon as circumstances shall require it, to guarantee to every con- ✓ef:Mien on the ratan a permanent subscription (unfet tered by any conditions roc mt such as may be suggested by the General Assembly), to en amount equivalent to whatever proportion a the prevent Region Bonnet they may be deprived of under the impending settlement. Although I should be unions to make en analogous announcement to the several episcopal clergymen in whose parishes my estates are situated, it would be pre vesture to enter upon any spmific arrangements until I shall have had an opportunity of consulting the wishes sad views of the other landed proprietors in the districts referred to. But lam convinced th►t, both in the inte rests of the Anglican and of the Presbyterian churches in Ireland, we cannot commence too soon to prepare for the inesitablo change which i. at hand.—Believe me, yours sincerely, Drpruda. P.S.— You bad better send a copy of this letter to the gentle:lieu I have tamed to. PEE DISTRESS IN THE EAST OP LONDON. A pnblic meeting of the friends and supporters of the Meat London fission and Relief Society was held yesterday at Willis's Rooms, for the purpose of hawing dettiled accounts of the work earned on by the society during the last five toonths,with particulars of the present a;ate of the East or London. and the extent, cause, and probable dunttion of the distress. Lord Hearer ammeter presided. The CHAIRMAN, 14 opening the proceedings, stated that although a large number of men. women, and children had revived food from the funds placed at the disposal of the otnasittee, yet by far the largest part of the money had been expended upon the sewing classes. That course had bean adopted because it was thought desirable that the money should not be all absolutely given away, bus that work stould be done for it. (Hear.) The society was not only an East London reliebcommittee, betake an East Lou d un mission committee, sad therefore &tile sewing Glares, sud on different occasions. it had been a grea.ebiset is sot (he Gospel before there perishing persons. In carrying on this great work a vast number of ladies, both of the East and West of London, had given great assistance an visitor*. Mr. Nom, read a repott, which commenced by observing that by following the principle adopted in Lancashire ' during the cotton famine. of giving women work in sewing ela , ;es, means had been found of bringing the gospel to numbers of persona whose destitution alone would have . presented them from attending • church or chapel, and mentioned, as sheering the wide interest taken in the effort to combine religious instrurtion with temporal r lief, that 2,300 persons had subscribed to the funds of the society. About 1 , 4,0001. bad been poured into the erehequer, including liberal contributions from Holland, Nice, Biarritz, Cannes, Florence, and Fau, in aid of the distress, and there had also been received large gifts of clothing. During the pressure of the distress the average attendances at the sewing classes bad been 20,1:1)0 weekly, and, assuming that that represented 4,000 women, it would appear that these classes had been the means of keeping the wolf from the door in 4,000 houses, while they had 61.1 a more permanent effect in inculcating self-respect, neatness, and cleanliness. With regard to the future, the committee proposed, at the end of the Easter week, to close every elms, and, after • short period, to select one room in each distri : t for one class to be continued daring the summer months for four hours on each of three days in the week, at the rate of 2d. per boar. It was proposed that these classes should only be open to widows with children dependent *pen them, or women whose husbands were in hospitals. ?Details work 5,000/. would be required, and the oominittes appealed for subscriptions to make up that amount. The report, in conclusion, pointed to emigration as a means of relief, which would not only be beneficial to those who left the country, but, by the with. drawal of competition, would improve the condition of those who remained. The balance-sheet stated the total receipt, at 18,2%! , of which 718/. arose from the sale of goods made at the sewing classes, and the expenditure at 17,5821., leaving a balance in hand of 713!. Mr. A. KINISAII:1). M.l'., remarked that whether this distress was temporary or not, it would teach those who heed at the west end of the town that their responsibility scald not be limited to relieving the few poor in their neighbourhood. Emigration would, no d ou bt, b e one o f , the best sources of relief, and he was happy to say that be and Lord Overtone had banded over for that purpose a sum of TOO/. or 8001., the balance of • former charitable fund. He believed that a ship bad already been taken up, and that applications might now be made for assisted pas sages to Cana puechialda by _families in distress who had not re. oeived relief. Mr. R. BAXTIUI attributed the distress at the East-end to hression in the shipbuilding and silk trades, over building, the introduction of the sewingmachine,andthe ronoval of sugar refining from the district. A great deal bail been done in affording temporary relief, but the itaionnt of destitution that still existedwas hea rtrending, and the only permanent remedy was migration or emi gration on an extensive soak. The meeting was subsequently addressed by the Rev. George Barnes, missionary of St. Luke's, Bethnal-green Mr. . Brown, one of the society's su rintendents, and others, and the tl a p ass* .

Among the exhibitions which will be opened on Easter Monday, not the least interesting will be the third collection of National Portraits, which has been formed in the old Exhibition buildings at South Kensington. The two previous exhibitions having included the portraits of all the persons ce lebrated in English history who died before the year 1800, the present collection includes, with exceptions hereafter to be mentioned, only the likenesses of persons who have lived died within the present century. The number of pic tures which have been hung, under the direction of Mr. R. Redgrave and Mr. Sketohley, rather ex ceeds that of previous exhibitions, and amounts to about 960. Many of the noblemen and gentlemen who have contributed to the previous exhibitions send valuable collections, but it is almost needless to state that many valuable pictures have been lent by individuals whose collections have not previously been represented at South Kensington. The collection includes several specimens of the works of Sir J. Reynolds, Romney, and Gains borough. Sir T. Lawrence naturally appears in great force ; Sir J. W. Gordon's name is attached to many admirable portraits ; Sir M. A. Shee and Sir F. Grant have both contributed by their pencil. to the adornment of the walls, and many modern artiste who are still engaged in the active prosecu tion of their profession, are worthily represented by the portraits of eminent men whom they have painted. The collection includes the likenesses of sovereigns, nobles, and soldiers, of great ministers and great actors, of statesmen; politicians, and church dignitaries, of poets, historians, and philosophers, of men of letters and of men of science. It includes also some ladies eminent from their position, their beauty, or their talents ; but upon this side it is not very rich, and no one can wander through the galleries without being struck by the scarcity of female portraits. In addition to the portraits of persons who have died during the present century, there is exhibited in the upper rooms a small collection of more ancient pictures, which are intended to supply de fects in previous exhibitions of national portraits ; and also the valuable collection of, the Dilettanti Society, which has been removed from Willis's Rooms. These latter pictures, which are all por traits of members of the society, are chiefly by George Knapton ; but there are also two large groups by Sir J. Reynolds (of great value), as well as his portrait by his own hand, and one or two works of Sir T. Lawrence and Benjamin West. The private view will take place on Saturday, and the whole collection will be opened to the public on Monday next. THE METROPOLITAN AND ST. JOHN'S WOOD RAILWAY. Yesterday, an important link in the " inner circle" of metropolitan railways, the construction of which has been entrusted to Mr. John Fowler, the eminent engineer, was completed by the open ing of the St. John's-wood and Baker-street Rail way. The line, which is &lightly under two miles in length, starts from a terminus of its own in Baker-street, stops at St. John's-wood-road, then at Marlborough-road, close to the Eyre Arms, and next at Queen's-road, in the immediate vicinity of the well Swias-cottage. The passenger has thus opened to him a wide, rural region, including Finchley-road, Belsize-park, and Hampstead, to which latter place it is intended the railway shall ultimately extend. The utility of the line it is expected will be further increased by negotia tions which are now pending for an interchange of stations with the Midland, which company has a station in the Finchley-road. The line, which has been admirably constructed by Lucas and Aird, rune for nearly its entire length under ground, but the ventilation is perfect. The sides of the tunnel are faced with concrete, a novel idea, by which not only great economy in construction but a con siderable increase of strength of wall is se cured. At two o'clock precisely a train consisting of splendidly-built first and or oond class carriages started from Baker-street, and traversed the whole line, returning to St. John's-wood-road for luncheon. Among the passengers were Mr. Austin, the chairman, and several of the directors of the new line ; Mr. Miles Fenton, manager of the Metropolitan Railway ; Mr. J. Fowler, engineer-in-chief of the "Inner Circle" Metropolitan Railways ; Mr. Jas. Nsa myth, inventor of the steam hammer ; Mr. Par son, Mr. A. C. Sherriff, M.P., 4S - .c. The short journey was performed with the utmost suc cess, and on the arrival of the train at the Swiss- cottage station the whole company got out, and spent a few minutes in admiring the beauti ful country which the new line has opened up to the inhabitants of the metropolis. The company then returned to St. John's-wood road station, where luncheon had been provided. THE E X PRESS, WURBpA: kt, APRIL CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. 9 1 (Were Mr. Beres Pigott.)

Her grandmother Dent her upstairs for Mrs. Whelland, and began undressing the boy. There was water on the floor after he fell.

Baron Pigott, in paining sentence, said he believed the statement of the child that the prtaoner Lad pat him into a pot of boiling water, but he did not think she knew at the time that the water was so hot. As is was, the child had suffered great agony, and if she had been • younger woman be would have inflicted • much heavier punishment than he was about to do. Taking into con sideration the recommendation of the jury, the sentence of the court upon her was, that she be kept in penal servi tude for five years. (Before the Common Serjeant.) C7taries Wieka, alias Hoyard, aged 39, described as an architect, who on the previous day had pleaded guilty to ten charges of forging and uttering cheques for different amounts is various parts of the country, was brought up for judgment, and sentenced to 15 years' penal servitude. The counsel for the preseention were Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Poland, and for the prisoner, Mr. Metcalfe. THE POLIO& COURT& MANSION : HM:7M Mr. Marks Benson, re ; ' al4;s Station-road, South Norwood, appeared before the Lord Mayor to answer • summons charging him with refusing to pay an oranibtui fare. The complainant was John Henry Kilby, the conductor of an omnibus running between Bayswater and the Bank, and belonging to a person whose name did not transpire. He stated that at half -peat 11 on the night of the 24th of Marsh, the defendant, accompanied by a Lay, got into his omnibus at Holborn, and came out at Threadneedle-street. All fares after 10 o'clock at night wen al:penes, and a notice to this effect was painted up in view inside the omnibus. _ _ _ The Lord Mayor—ln view ! It ought to be outside the omnibus. Complainant, continuing, said that when the defendant got out he told him the fare for himself and the lady woe la., but he refused to pay, and gave him his name and address, telling him he could summons him. He also told another gentleman not to pay. That gentle man he had summoned to Clerkenwell Ponce-court, where the cue was decided in his (complainant's) favour. Defendant said he came twice a day from Holborn, and never paid sixpence before. He tendered sixpence to complainant, but he would not take it, and said his faze was is. The Lord Mayor said it came to this: that the company's omnibuses ran at the same time of night for threepence, while this omnibus ran for sixpence. The complainant said that, according to the act of par liament, people were bound to pay the fare when it was marked on the omnibus. The Lord Myer—The set of parliament enables you to cheat the people. Addressing the defendant, his lordship mid he was bound to pay the fare, and he regretted he could not deal with it in any other way. The complainant Naked for costs for threecls' attend. once, the summons having been twice adjourned. The Lord Mayor said he would only give him ono day's costs ifis. 6d.), to mark his disapproval of the ewe. Complainant said he would apply to the County Court to recover the other two days ; but Hr. Oke, the Chief Clerk, told him he would have no remedy. The parties then left the court. CLERKENWELL.

It will be remembered that when the prosecutor was first examined he was very 111, and that he then stated that he arrived in London on the 2nd ult., went to the prisoner's coffee-house, and was insensible from that date to the 9th when he found himself in the University Col lage Hoeileal. He now said :—I came to London on the 20th of ebraary. I had sold my business in Southamp ton for 1201.

Mr. Elwin. burn, in responding on behalf of • toss!, announced that the society had at present 30 annuitants, the total cost being 1, 3 301. per annum. He further announced that her Majesty, with her usual liberality, bad contributed 1001., and that the Prinoe of Wales had also sent a liberal 1 donation. In responding to the toast of the " Drama," Herr Bandmann (of the Lyceum) said he accepted the honour of being called upon to return thanks for this toast as a sign of courtesy to • fo reig ner and a guest. As regarded the drama little could be mid—it spoke for itself. It spoke loudly, it spoke from the earliest records of history, sad let them hope that it would continue to speak for ever and for ever. Asa German by birth and education he felt the great power which the wonderful art of the actor exercised over every nation. In Germany the drama was regarded as • state institution, and the artistes were considered as public officers. Only to-day he had read in a German paper that the Crown Prince of Prussia had written and handed over to a theatre a five-act drama; and it was a fact that Shakespeare was much more acted in that country than Schiller or Goethe. The Germans, in fact, claimed Shakespeare quite as much as did the British nation, and one of the German lyric poets asserted that by right Shakespeare belonged to Germany alone, because when Shakespeare's genius was seat from heaven to earth its destination was Ger many, but the wind blowing westwardly it rested in England. For himself, he cared little where Shakespeare was born ; he belonged to the world, and his plays were acted and appreciated in every civilised ela tion. The drama would live as long as cultivation and mankind walked hand in band, and its decline would act abate until, like the crab, thex walked haekwarda. _ mob ham woke Ornate7rod the aritite Mdlla Liebhart, Mrs. Howard Paul, Miss Poole, Mime Power, Kr.

A Seim IN A PRIVATZ LUNATIC ASYLUM—At the Staffordshire Quarter Sessions yesterday, before the Earl of Lichfield, chairman and others, Mr. Midterm made the customary applioadon for the renewal of the license to Mrs. Moore, of Great Barr, to keep • t o va i t: lunatic asylum, whereupon his lordship asked Mr.t ram if be was aware that there was • report from the visiting justices relative to the asylum. Mrs. Moore was bound ender the lionise not to admit unruly patients, but the visitors reported that they lad found a female standing on a mattress in • state of wild excitement, with only • night-dress on her, having a leather strap fastened round her waist, and other straps fastened to it, of which the other ends were fastened to the bedposts. Mr. Met ter= said he would not impugn the sesuracy of the re port so made, but he was desired to represent that the patient was not in a state of excitement when ad-' mined qy Mrs. Moore. Subsunently she Wane I enacted, end under the advice of the medisal 1 attendant she was put under gentle restraint, the elms being so placed that she could lie down, or stand op, It do anything but get away. The Earl of Lichfield—lt is quite sufficient foe us that she was strapped to the bed. Mr. Slotteratu urged that Mrs. Moors could not turn ent tim patient directly she became violent, and was therefore driven to the necessity of restraining her until her resoeval could be arranged. On the 29th of March the patient had been admitted, beim then not violent. On the 30th she became violent, and finding that the violence was likely to become permanent, application was mad* to the commis. donors in lunacy on the 6th of April. The Earl of Lid:- fidd—After the visitors bad been there. Mr. Harrison, the mama' officer, described the steps he had taken in the case, and produced the " medical visitation book," rela tive to which his lordship observed that there we. pc& lively no entry of the case at the time the visitors went te the horde. It was quite clear, her lordship added, that the ooart was bound to take preant to prevent the possibility of cases of side kkit arising.

Jan Jona, a tall young fallow, about 22, was charged on remand before Mr. Newton, with having stolen a horse and cab, No. 2,247, the property of George Slough, and value 40/. It appeared from the evidence that on the night of Mon day, the 30th ult., a cabdriver in the employ of the pro prietor, by name Jeffery Drain, left the cab in queetron, which he had been driving during the day, outside a publio-house in Phippe-sirsef, Whitechapel, while he went inside to get some drink. Upon coming out, about WI minutes afterwards, be found it gone, and soon afterwards he gave information to the police, and about a quarter-past one in the moniog of the 31st Police-oonstable James Millward, 130 K, saw the prisoner driving the cab down Pentouville-hill. His saspecna WA not aroused, however, till be saw the prisoner pull up the cab close to him by the pavement, and, jumping down off the box, ran away. The police man followed and caught him, when he said be was back to look for his whip, whi c h h e h a d d roppe d. 'irked for his badge he said he had not got one, and that the cab was his own. He wars taken into custody and the cab to the green-yard, where inside the boot was found a large tarpailin with the infidels of the Great Northern Railway on it. Prisoner, when questioned respecting it, denied all knowledge of the tarpaulin, and the man Jeffery Drain, who afterwards identified the cab, denied that it was there when the vehicle was in his possession. William Blake, s shunter at the King's.croaa station of the Great Northern Railway, stated that on the 2nd of January the tarpaulin was sae in their posserion, it having previously arrived from Liverpool. Its actual value was 50s. He could not say when it was last used, nee when it was missed. I[r. Newton addressed the natal caution to the pri• softer, who had nothing to say, and he was folly committed for trial. HAMMERSMITH. Albert Tilley, police-constable 380 T, who was dressed in plain clothes, was placed in the dock, charged at the in sta•ee of one of the assistant police commissioners for being drank while on duty, and with assaulting Mr. John Blanchard, • glssecutter, of 18, Church-street, Kensington. Mr. Blanchard stated that at a quarter past one o'clock on Tuesday morning he was with some Mends in High street, Kensington, when the prisoner, who wee with • man and woman, said, " What do you mean?" Witness replied that he was not talking to him. He struck wit ness on the forehead. He told him that he should report him, and when about halfway to the station the prisoner detained him, and said be would not let him go. He wrestled with him and got away. While complaining to another constable the prisoner struck him • severe blow on the cheek. In reply to the magistrate, Inspector Socking said the prisoner had been in the force a month. The inspector also snid the prisoner was ordered to attend before the commissioner on Tuesday, but he was too drank to go before kin. The commissioner then directed him to be charged. _ _ Mi... Ingham aid police constables had very large powers given to them, and if they did not exercise their duty with propriety the most serious consequences were likely to arise. He War very sorry for the prisoner, who was a Toting and inexperienced man, but he thought that if be did not punish bun severely great complaints would be made against him, apd it would be said that he allowed the police to ride roughshod over the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. The prisoner had been guilty of a double offence, and he could not pass it over. He then sen tenced him to be imprisoned for seven days with hard labour. The Prisoner hoped the magietrate would not send him to prison, but would indict a fine. Mr. Ingham maid he could not. It was a very serious offence, and an example must be made, for police con stables ought not to be guilty of that kind of conduct. The prisoner, who had formerly served in the Life Guards, and had been bought off, was then removed to the cells. WANDSWORTH Mary Ann Shepierit,;l;ll;;;CiWOMAll was charged with attempting to drown herself in a pond on Clapham -00111111011. This is the second ease of attempted suicide on Clapham common that has been brought ender the notice of the magistrates within the last few days. Police-constable Cole, 222 W, said a gentleman called his attention to the prisoner, and stated that he had pulled her out of the pond. Witness found her olethes very wet, and in answer to his questions she stated that she walked into the pond to drown herself, as her husband ill-used her. She also said that she would commit suicide if witness looked her up as soon as she came out. She offered to go peaceably home if he would let her. Mr. Mayo wished to say a few words on the prisoner's behalf. It was true that there had been a quarrel between her and her husband, but she bad no intention of coin. mitting suicide. Her husband walked one way, and she walked another, and into the pond. It was very singular that he had a similar oue on Monday, in which a young woman walked into the pond with no ifientiod to commit suicide. A mist came over her mind, and the prisoner in the same way became bewildered and walked into the pond—the season of the year, perhaps, having some infiu enee over them. However, the husband was willing to be bound for the good behaviour of his wife. Mr. Ingham thought it better, in this suicidal seemon, to remand the prisoner. He always found that a week's imprisonment bad the effect of removing and suicidal tendency. The prisoner was then removed. Sergeant Harvest complained to the magistrate that on sending to the workhouse for clothes for the prisoner, as her own were very wet, the porter declined to wake the toaster, and said the clothes were all locked up. Mr. Ingham thought the workhouse officials were not compelled to give clothes in that way. Inspector Egerton said he had similar circumstances. . . . Sergeant Harvest told the magistrate that some isms salience was occasioned in providing di) , clothes for the prisoner. Yr. Inghiuu believed it was a metier of courtesy fitly, end suggested that the police should see the °Sells, with a view of arriving ►t a satisfactory arrangement. THE INTERNAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHINA.—At the meeting of the council of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, held yesterday, the colonial and foreign trade committees' proceedings included document' from the Hong Kong and Shanghai Chamber. of Commerce, and a memorial on the subject of the Treaty of Tientsin, sug gesting s variety of changes and modification', with a view to mare greater liberty of action to British merchants in China, and to obtain reductions of duties on manufactured goods. Mr. Barocbson moved ties adoption of the pro seeding' and memorial. During the &mug= which ensued, Mr. Bowline expressed the opinion that as the statements which led to the memorial were for the most part ex parte, as the East Indian and China Association bad not taken any =ion upon it, and as the time for the revision of the treaty was in June, 1868, it was premature for the chamber to take any steps in the matter. Mr. Forwood and Mr. Trimble took an opposite view ; the former stating that what the metoceialiste wanted wee such a revision A the treaty as would enable English capitalist. and trade= to develop the interval navigation and recionrces of the country. The tea trade was but • small portion of the trade with China, sad what was wanted was to open up facilities for the export and transit from one part of Mks to meth= of Maateheator and general goods. It musk. roost ingerkat to develop the native Goal Adds, sad to promote railway eves' nimiestion. The Chairman explained that the ACM India and China Amociatiou of Liverpool supported the memorial of eb• He Kea, Clasher of Commerce in favour of • reformed treaty.

IRONMASTERS QUARTERLY MEETING. The qual. terly meetings of the ironmasters of South Staifordskue commenced yesterday at Wolverhampton. Th e a tt en d it , was larger than it has usually been in that town of ! years, but there were very few transactions of any Li reported. It was admitted on all hands that the trek to not in the slightest degree improved, and that the dermal for all descriptions of finished iron is on the most man rate scale in this locality. It is to be feared that the of the meeting in Birminghad will cot be mt.. more favourable. The principalondeed almost the only tq, discussed yesterday, was in reference to the notices given t. the men for reductions in the wages scale. It is now felt ml etrongly than ever that the time selected for taking this tt.: is a mistake, sod that the men, or some sections of therms.' resist at least for a week or two, though they a ill mately have to give way. In all probability there an abeenos of uniformity of action on the part of I =uteri', which will necessarily add to the present rt. I bemused and unsatisfactory condition of the trade. I. millmen are said to be the firmest in their resolve to sue out. The market for pig-iron was dull ; scarcely any aa.. were reported yesterday. There was a rumour afioat tL the Lilleehall Company have it in contemplation to re(L.t the prioe of their pigs se. per ton. The North Staffer.. shire makers who were present at this meeting report 4 the trade in that quarter rather better. They have sot' Canadian orders on hand. A respectably dressed youth, about 18 years of age, the eon of the vicar of Duncormick, county Wexford. was yesterday brought up at the Liverpool Police-co.r. charged with stealing some watches from the shop cf Mr. Goldstone, a jeweller, in Whitechapel. The pri,r,t, who appeared very deje cted, and expressed his regmt t the imam he would cause to his father, said that he le. home in consequence of his fiery temper, intending ti n e to sea. However, when he got to Liverpool he could tat get a berth, and ea he had no money, he determintd: steal somethye e did not care how long he was sassed, as the he bad brought on his family I all be could of now. He was sent to prison for tot months.
