THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 16, 1860. join the Emperor of the French in calling the seri ous attention of the Pope to the neoessity of reforms in the administration of the Papal dominions, which he admitted were loudly called for. He gave the Emperor of the French to understand that these reforms ought not to fall short of what he intended to do himself for Venetia; but he declared that he would not associate with any Power, not Roman Catholic, in addressing remonstrances to the Pope in favour of changes, and that he would never pro pose to his Holiness any cession of territory. " His Majesty further required that the Grand Duke of Tuscany and the Duke of Modena should be reinstated in their respective dominions. Finally, he declined making the terms of peace a subject of discussion by a congress. " After this exchange of opinions, the two Emperors separated, but communications were continued between them, and, in the course of the evening, the preliminaries, the substance of which are known to her Majesty's Government, wore signed. On the following morning Count Rech bergcame to the French head-quarters, and proposed that plenipotentiaries from the two sovereigns should meet at Zurich, in order to convert the preliminaries into a definitive treaty of peace, which proposal i s now about to be carrie d into effect." The tenacity displayed by the Emperor Francis Joseph appears and re-appears at every turn in the subsequent interpretation and application of the preliminaries. From the first the French and Aus trian Governments intended to turn them to dif ferent purposes, and more than once Napoleon was obliged to refer to his military superiority, and once directly to threaten Austria with a renewal of the war. On the important question whether a foreign force might be employed to carry out the clause of the preliminaries which reads—" Le Grand Due de Toscane et le Duc de Modene rentrent clans lours Etats en donnant une amnistie generale"—the two Crowns were continually at variance. It is ex pressly stated on the part of France (p. 22) that "nothing positive had passed between the two Em perors on the subject." sheer Guards, by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge, K.K., &c.

' In the Illonite - ar of September 9an article op peered, intended to influence the mind of Italy, and to impress the conviction that resistance to the re turn of the dethroned Princes was hopeless. In the telegraphic summary of the article which was transmitted to Vienna it was said that one of the consequences of the obstinate rejection of French advice in this matter would be the release of Aus tria from all the obligations she had contracted at Villafranca. Unfortunately, the important quali fying words, "as regards Venetia," were omitted from the summary, an omission which gave rise to an amusing revelation of Austrian hopes and in tentions. On the 9th Sept. Mr. Fane saw Count Rechbeig, who appeared very much pleased with the article. Mr. Fane thus reports what passed : " Count Rechberg, in reply to a question I ad dressed to him, said that if the summary of the article he had seen was correct, he was disposed to view its publication with pleasure. It gave, he said, a new and, in his opinion, a more favourable aspect to the political embarrassment of the moment. I asked his excellency in what sense he employed the term favourable;' and he replied that he meant by the term, more in consonance with Austrian views.' I like,' his excellency continued, the admission of the principle that if the archdukes are not restored, Austria is freed from the engagements she con tracted at Villafranca. One of the especial condi tions of the cession of Lombardy was the restora tion of the archdukes, and if it be not fultilled, we are not bound to execute our part of the bargain.' I asked his excellency to what course of action, on the part of Austria, the reasoning he employed would logically lead. Would she march her troops into Lombardy, and endeavour to recover it from Sardinia by force ? Count Rechberg replied that the logical result of his reasoning was that Sardinia would hold Lombardy de facto, and not de jure ; that the possession of a state on such terms was neither secure nor satisfactory ; and that the atti tude of Austria would, for the moment, be one of tranquil expectation. 'lf Sardinia,' his excellency continued, attacks us, or infringes our rights, we hope to be strong enough to defend ourselves, and eves to retaliate with effect.' " Yesterday another Blue-book, containing 370 pages of" Correspondence respecting the affairs of Italy, from the signature of the preliminaries of Villafranca to the postponement of the Congress," was issued. Although it discloses no fact to startle by its novelty, it abounds with interest, hero con firming suspicion, there resolving a difficulty, and everywhere instructing the best informed by put ting events in a strong and clear light. As the volume has only a most general unity, instead of attempting an outline or epitome of its contents, we shall take up one or two important topics and col lect the scattered references made to them through out the correspondence. The starting point in the recent development of events in Italy is found in the meeting of the two Emperors atVillafran ca. Many accounts of this inter view have been published ; bat, hitherto, we believe, no authentic narrative of what passed at that time has been given to the world. On the 16 th of July Lord Cowley, under instructions from Lord John Russell, saw Count Walewski, and received from him an explanation of the motives which had induced the Emperor to act as he had done. Although simi lar explanations have been made from time to time, every profession of motives on the part of France has an importance of its own, and this especially so. "In commencing the war which had been brought to a conclusion at Villafranca, the Empe ror, Count Walewski said, had invariably declared that, Italy once delivered from the preponderating influence of Austria, he would leave to Europe the re-settlement of the Italian Peninsula. His Ma- jesty had repeated this declaration more than once during the progress of the war. He had resolved thereby to give an earnest of his abnegation of all selfish purposes, such as the aggrandisement of the French empire, as he hoped by that means to esta blish the liberty of Italy on a surer foundation in obtaining for them the guarantee of Europe. But as the war proceeded his Majesty could not shut his eyes to the sacrifices he was demanding of France in furtherance of foreign interests, and after the battle of Solferino it became his duty to examine more closely the state of affairs, and to weigh well the cost of persevering in a contest with the chances of final succes s . " Now, glorious forthe French arms as had been the campaign up to the Mincio, that glory had been dearly bought. The loss of life had been enormous, and although the Austrians had suffered more, they could not be held to be defeated. The real difficul ties of the campaign were about to commence for the French. His Majesty did not doubt of final suc cess, but it must be at the cost of 25,000 more lives at least, and the destruction of the city of Venice. But the Austrians driven out of Italy, it was uncertain whether there would be as good a chance of peace as at the present moment, when the Emperor of Austria, with an army although beaten, yet not dishonoured, might make sacri fices to which further disasters would render it more difficult to submit. With this conviction on his mind the Emperor felt that he could not call upon France to furnish him with money and reinforcements for tke continuation of a war from which France was to reap no positive benefit, though the conditions of peace might fall short of those which he had once anticipated obtaining. He had, therefore, determind to put himself into communi cation with the Emperor of Austria. " Such, said Count Walewski, was the simple his tory, neither more nor less, of the motives which had actuated the Emperor in this proceeding." Count Walewski went on to give Lord Cowley the following account of what passed between their Imperial Majesties during the interview which arose out of the determination taken by the Em peror of the French. The language of the Emperor Francis Joseph is Very striking : " The Emperor Napoleon, according to Count Walewaki's statement, spoke as frankly to the Em peror Francis Joseph as he (Count Walewski) had spoken to me ; and after observing that both par ties could now treat with honour and on almost equal terms, proposed, as the basis of peace, the cession of Lombardy to Sardinia, the erection of a kingdom of Venetia under an Austrian archduke, an Italian confederation, and reforms in the Papal States ; the details of these points to be settled by an European congress. The Emperor Francis Joseph answered that his reply would be as frank as had been the Emperor Napoleon's proposal, and that if the latter had his position in France to look to, he could not lose sight of his own in Austria. His authority had no other foundation than his rights : those rights, therefore, he could never com promise. He might lose his empire, but he would remain faithful to his principles. He admitted, that his army had been worsted, and that Lombardy had been taken from him ; the rights, therefore, which he possessed in Lombardy he was willing, much as it might cost his pride, to make over to the Emperor of the French, if he could thereby ob tain the return of peace: more than this he could not do without dishonouring his army. He would not make the cession required to the King of Sar elinia ; but the Emperor of the French was, of course, at libe r ty to do what he pl ease d w ith his own, and if he chose to give Lombardy to Sardinia, he (the Emperor of Austria) had no observat;ons to make. " With regard to Venetia, his Majesty declared that he would not make any concession of his un doubted rights in that province • he would not transfer th em t o an Austrian archduke as long as he could defend them. He might be driven out of Venetia as he had been driven out of Lombardy, hut ho would rather lose it altogether than enter into any treaty engagement either respecting its future sovereign, crifhe were to retain it, respecting its future administration. At the same time his Majesty said that he had no difficulty in stating introducing great he hi mse lf f e lt th e necess i ty of great changes, and he had no objection to give his word cf honour that Venetia, in his hands, would not only be happy but satisfied (' qu'elle serait non seulernent heureuso, mail satisfaite'). These were the only terms on which he could listen to the pro posals for peace. " With regard to an Italian Confederation, the Emperor of stria said that he had no objection to the plan ; that he thought it might be attended with advantage to Italy; that he would willingly enter it with Venetia, and join the Emperor of the French iu recommending its adoption by the other Italian States. His Majesty further professes his readiness to Five days afterwards the Austrian Foreign Minister repeated, in an interview with Lord Loftus, that " the concessions made by Austria at Villa franca had been conditional, and consequently that she would be released from her engagements, if those taken towards her remained unfulfilled. The cession of Lombardy would not be legalised unless the other conditions of the Treaty were carried out, and that, consequently, thetenure of that province by Sardinia would be one dejigeto, and not de jure." In referring to the restoration of the Archdukes, his excellency stated that the Emperor Francis Joseph had made this point a sine qua non condition of the peace; and that, as a matter of justice and of right, it could not be yielded. He added that Austria had no intention to recur to force to reinstate the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Count Rechberg, however, from time to time, renewed the subject, being apparently most anxious to keep alive the right of his Government to interfere by force in Central Italy ; and when Lord Loftus observed to him that the abstract right of Austria to interfere iY Tuscany and Mo dena on account of her reversionary right ought to yield to the interest of Europe, the count replied by asking, " what Europe had done for Austria that she should be disposed to make such sacrifices of her rights ?', The Emperor's letter to " Monsieur mon Frere,' the King of Sardinia, dated Oct. 10, caused consi derable excitement on its publication a week later. Lord Cowley was assured by the French Government that that publication had taken place without its sanction. In that letter, it will be remembered, were enumerated many points respecting which France would have proposions to make in Congress. The document caused great astonishment at Vienna. In an interview, on the 9th November, with our Minister, Count Rechberg said that the letter of the Emperor Napoleon did not at all accord with the stipulations of the treaties on the point of being signed at Zurich. which were strictly based on the preliminaries signed at Villafrauca. Those preli minaries had fixed the limit of the concessions which the Emperor his master had agreed to, and his Ma jesty was not prepared to go beyond that limit. "I remarked that the Emperor's letter, however, had stated that Austria had ceded her right of gar risen in Ferrara and Commachio, and I inquired of his Excellency whether this was so. His Excellency replied, that although Austria had not yet posi tively ceded that right, still she was prepared to do so. He added, that Austria had no wish or inten tion to interfere in the affairs of Central Italy, and that she no longer desired to maintain the right of garrison in places beyond her frontier. 'With refe rence to that part of the Emperor's letter requiring that the fortresses of Mantua and Peschiera shoiljd become federal fortresses, Count Rechberg staled that even were this to be the case they would still remain in the exclusive possession of Austria, and would be garrisoned alone by Austrian troops. His Excellency referred to the German Federal forces, and instanced Landau, which being on Bavarian soil was solely garrisoned by Bavarian troops. Where it happened that the state on whose ground the fortress was built was unequal to provide a sufficient force for its security, as in the case of ltadstadt in the Grand Duchy of Baden, or of Mayence in the Grand Duchy of Hesse Darmstadt, then it became the duty of the Confederation to provide an efficient garrison ; but in those eases the question of the troops to be supplied was decided by a majority of votes of the Diet, and a veto was reserved to the state on whose soil the fortress stood. Thus, his Excellency said, if the Grand Duke of Baden had persisted in his refusal to have a Prussian contin gent at Radstadt,his veto must have been respected. Count Rechberg further alluded to the proposals of the Emperor Napoleon that Parma and Piacenza should be added to Piedmont, and that the Duchess of Parma should be indemnified by the Duchy o f Modena. And his Excell enc y s t a ted that Austria would never recognise the principle that thy power was entitled to interfere with the sovereign rights of independent princes. We hold, said his Excel lency, to the strict limits of the preliminaries at Villafranca ; we shall not go beyond them!' In the middle of November the Prince Eugene of Savoy appointed M. Boncompagni to be Regent of Central Italy. Just at that time Prince Metternich, the Austrian ambassador at Paris, had received the letters addressed by his government to the different powers who were to be invited to a congress; but he informed the Emperor, then at ComPlega°o CONTRACT FOR GREENHEART TIMBER.

LIVINGSTON'S EXPLORATIONS IN THE INTERIOR OF AFRICA. —The indefatigable researches of Dr. Livingston have suddenly made us accquainted with one of the happiest people in the world, of whose very existence little was hitherto known in civilised Europe generally.— The province of Angola, Dr. Livingston writes in the" Jour nal of the Royal Geographieal Society," possesses great fer tility and beauty, and its capabilities, both agriculturally and eommercially, are of a very high order ; indeed, I do not fear Contradiction in asserting it to be the richest in Western Africa The great scientific traveller, who spent 16 years among this favoured people, has had ample opportunity of studying their physical and moral condition, and his details are most curious, They appear indeed to enjoy an Elysian felicity, requiring neither physic nor the physician, for Dr. Livingston found their staff of life to be the Revalenta Ara bloa Food, which keeps them perfectly free from disease, "son gumption, scrofula, cancer, &c., being scarcely heard of, and the small-pox and measles have not been kno w n for t w e n ty years."'

Boncornpagni to be Regent of Central Italy, had desired him to inform the Emperor that, under such circumstances, Austria would not meet a Sar dinian plenipotentiary in congress." " I under stand," Lord Cowley writes, on November 18, "that ! his Majesty gave Prince Metternich distinctly to understand that the passage of the Po, under any pretext, by Austrian troops, would be met with a declaration of war on the part of France." The 1 Italian arrangement was modified, and Austria withdrew her objection to attend a congress. Later, in November, the French Government found it necessary to ask Prince Metternich why Austria was making military preparations in Ve netia. Lord Cowley writes (p. 222) that the Prince, on his part, admitted the fact, and justified it, on the ground that large forces were kept on foot in Sar dinia. "These forces, Prince Metternich observed, might be employed in a manner which would neces sitate the interference of Austria, who would neither permit the military occupation of the Duchies by Sardinia, nor the annexation of them to that king dom." And notwithstanding the disavowals of any intention of inter fering in Central Italy which we have already quoted, we find Lord Loftus reporting to this Government, on the Sth of November, that Count Rechberg had just observed to him that " with reference to any future interference in the Duchies the Austrian. Government reserved to them. selves complete liberty of action.' Towards England Austria held language full of resentment after the peace of Villafran ca. On his re turn from Verona Lord Loftus saw Count Rechberg, who proceeded to express, and charged our Ambas sador to convey to the British Government, his deep regret that, at a moment of severe trial, Austria had been abandoned by England, her oldest and natura ally. Lord Loftus observed to his Excellency that he had used the term of" England having abandoned Austria ;" but he must be aware that we had never held out any hopes to Austria of our active support and co-operation, and that at the commencement of the war we had openly and frankly declared our intention to preserve a strict neutrality. Count Rechberg replied that although perhaps Austria had no right to count upon the active and material support of England, yet he had not ex pected that Englond would have taken an adverse line ; for he must candidly declare that our policy of late towards the Imperial Government had been -of an unfriendly character. He said that he had clear indications that Lord John Russell had openly avowed a wish and desire that Italy should be wholly freed from A.ustrian domination, and that Austria should cease to hold any portion of the Ita lian territory. He added, that it could not be con- sidercd as an act of justice or of good faith to urge on an enemy to spoil and rob the possessions of a friend. Lord Loftus replied that he had no cogni- sance of any such part having been taken by Lord John Russell, and that he could only assure his Ex cellency that the policy of her M a j es ty' s Govern _ _ ment had been openly and avowedly expressed in favour and support of a strict neutrality. We had from the beginning done all in our power to prevent the war. The British nation were intent on peace, and had been determined not to be dragged into a war in which their interests were not directly con- cerned, and which had not been of their seeking. Austria had unfortunately acted against the coun sels of her friends and allies, and had rashly entered ,on the contest. She must, therefore, incur all its responsibilities, its risks, its losses. SPAIN AND MOROCCO. (From the Correspondent of the Times.) BEFORE TETUAN', FEB. 5. The Moorish envoys said that the strength of the army yesterday opposed to the Spaniards was 26,000 men. Even supposing that they might have reasons, difficult to imagine, for exaggerating its numbers, the number of tents found would certainly accom modate that force. Half the numbers, disciplined and well cominanded,ahonld have held the position yesterday captured against a larger force than that of O'll.annell. We have often thought that the Moors grudged their labour, because we saw that they did not destroy the Spanish roads when they might easily have done so. But they must have had other reasons. The fortification of their camp is of a nature to prove that, if they he not addicted to work, there are those among them who know how to make them toil to good purpose. Their long line of solid lofty earthworks is of a nature to show this. The position, too, was extremely well chosen. The swamp in front was sure to arrest, or at least greatly impede, the passage of an attacking force, and so expose it to heavy loss from the fire of the redoubt. The mud and water not only extend along the whole front but also round on one side, while at the other exbremity (the left of the position) the ground rises, and there are wood and bushes in front, which yesterday, as abovementioned, afforded excellent cover to the Moorish sharpshooters. The Moors were confident in the strength of their cita del—for such their late camp truly is, and cer tainly, bad it been garrisoned as well as it was for tified, the Spaniards would never have taken it. A very few thousand European troops, with a mode rate supply of artillery, would have sent them back across the plain with heary loss. As it is, they would have lost more but for the judgment with which their movements were combined, and the extremely poor practice of the Moorish artillery men, who are evidently much more brave than skilful. Although they had plenty of masses to play upon, there were but two men hit on the side of the Spaniards until these came quite close. That there was plenty of firing is evideat from the ground in front of the redoubt, which is ploughed up in all directions by round shot and shell.. The deputation was conducted back towards Tetuan by a company of riflemen and some Staff. They had arrived escorted by a party of Moorish soldiers, but these got surrounded in head-quarters camp by officers and idlers, and by some accident those they came to guard departed without them. At a certain distanee from the city the envoys ex pressed a wish to be allowed to proceed alone, but as there were Spanish soldiers straggling to the front, on various ;pretext., but probably with an eye to marauding, and some of whom might not have recognised or respected the sacred character of a flag of truce, it was thought prudent that an officer and two men should go with them a little further. On my return to camp I found the Moorish escort still there. Possibly they were picked men, but certainly they were all fine-looking fellows, of various ages, from an elderly man with grey moustaches, but still active and athletic, down to lads as yet beardless. Some of their counte nances were remarkably pleasing and of a very good expression. They evidently did not belong to the wild tribes which the Spaniards have as yet had chiefly opposed to them, and were probably natives of Tetuan. Their guns were clean and in good order, and some of them were excellent weapons. Before they left they had got on ex tremely friendly terms with the Spaniards , an d suppose there will shortly be greetings and recog nitions in Tetuan.

Anot her, less fortunate, broke through near the north side of the bridge, but by the aid of a rope laid across the ice was enabled to extricate himself. He was subsequently removed to the Receiving -house and promptly attended by Dr. Cornish, and in about two hours after the appli cation of the usual remedies he recovered so as to he able to leave the place. On the Serpentine, in the early part of the day, there were also about 500 skaters ; but here, as well as at the Regent's -park, about noon, the ice became so dangerous that the ice-men proceeded to clear it, and kept it so during the remainder of the day. At St. James's-park no casualty took place. An investigation took place last evening by a committee of the Royal Humane Society respecting the fatal accident on the Serpentine yesterday. 71IE CO2II.IIERCIAL TREATY OF EVG LAND WITH F.R2IAVE IN 1787. • It is worthy of note that 73 years ago, in the same month, and nearly on the identical day on which Mr. Gladstone, in 1860, entered into the par ticulars of ou: commercial treaty with France, Mr. Pitt brought forward a similar proposition. A con temporary historian (Belsham) writes to this effect : "On the 12th of February, 1787, the house resolved itself into a committee on this subject, when Mr. Pitt entered into a most able and eloquent vindica tion of the measure. He declared in energetic terms his abhorrence of the maxim, that any nation was destined to be the natural and unalterable foe of another. It had no foundation in the experience of nations or in the history of men. It was a libel on the constitution of political societies, and supposed the existence of infernal malignity in our original frame. France, in most of our wars, had been the aggressor ; but her assurances and frankness in the present negotiations were such as to entitle her to a return of confidence. It was, indeed, ridiculous to imagine that the French would consent to yield advantages without the idea of compensation. The treatrwould, doubtless, be a benefit to them; but he did not hesitate to say it would be a much greater benefit to us. She gained for her wines and other pro ductions a great and opulent market; we did the same ' for our manufactures to a far greater degree. She procured a market of 8,000,000 of people, we a mar ket of 24,000,000. Both nations were disposed and prepired for such a connexion. France, by the pecu liar dispensation of Providence, was gifted, perhaps more than any other country upon earth, with what made life desirable in point of soil, climate, and na tural productions, in the most fertile vineyards and the richest harvests. Britain, on the other hand, possessing these advantages in an inferior degree, had, from the freedom of its constitution and the equal security of its laws, risen to a state of com mercial grandeur, and acquired the ability of sup plying France with the requisite conveniences of life in exchange for her natural luxuries. Objec tions were suggested by the leaders of Opposition against this treaty, and predictions hazarded of the injury which would be sustained by Great Britain in consequence of this measure. Such was the im pression made upon the house by the arguments ad vanced, that no less than 162 members divided against the Minister on a motion for an address to his Majesty declaratory of the approbation of the house, which was ultimately carried by a majority of 76 voices. The opposition of the house was not, however, supported by any commercial clamours beyond its walls The measure received the necessary concurrence and sanction of Parlia ment, and the whole transaction terminated greatly to the honour of the Minister and the advantage of the nation ; the sole cause ofregret, infect, being the limitation of the treaty to the short period of 12 years." THE AUSTRALIAN COINAGE. A considgrable amount of discussion is going on just now in commercial circles as to the advisability of making the gold coinage of the Sydney Mint a legal tender in England ; and A ustraliau colonists generally are, no doubt, favourable to such a mea sure. Now as in our opinion some, and perhaps much inconvenience would result from the autho rised influx, under existing circumstances, of sove reigns and half-sovereigns from the antipodean M int, we hasten to suggest certain considerations to the Ministry of the day before they commit themselves to any such conclusion as that in ques tion. There are two points of similarity—and im portant ones it must be conceded they are—be tween the Sydney coins and those of this country ; they are identical in weight and standard of fine ness, and therefore in intrinsic value. There, how ever, the resemblance ends ; the devises which or nament them are of entirely a different character, and this simple fact is a fatal one to the legalisa tion of the Australian pieces at home. There are already in Great Britain too many varieties of sil ver and copper coins in circulation, and it would but add to tha general confusion were the same evil to be extended to those of gold. It would raise doubts and difficulties where none exist at present, and be the fruitful source of perpetual annoyance. The primary mistake with regard to the Sydney Mint was the compulsory imposition upon it of distinctive dies. It was established as, and is con sidered at this moment to be, a branch of the Im perial Mint; why then should not the dies used, and consequently the coins issued by both be iden tical in design as in other respects ? This, we say, was a primary and great mistake; fortunately, however, it is not without a remedy. From the smallness of the Sydney Mint it has necessarily not been very productive coins. It comprises only two stamping presses, we believe, and the entire issue of gold from its establishment in 1853 to the date of the last returns, some three months back, cer tainly does not exceed three and a half millions sterling. The production of this amount, accord ing to blue-book authority would employ the Tower hill mint about two months, and what would be easier, therefore, than to recall and recast the entire eeinage of the colonial mint, issuing it again stamped with the imperial dies ? In our opinion the whole matter hinges upon this point, and to this point the Government would do well to direct their attention. We have heard, and have no reason to doubt the fact, that the whoi.e of the dies used at Sydney are supplied by the imperial coining works. Those, therefore, who are anxious to have the legal barrier to the introduction of colonial coins removed, may consider whether they had not better first petition for an assimilation to be made between those and British coins by the forwarding to Sydney of imperial dies. There seems to us no valid reason why the branch should not yield fruit of precisely the same stamp as the parent stem. ertyhepreosbtaabbliilsihty that Si nAclee too, lbou there appears rnewillbef f a vou red r b e e d ebsy ment of a local mint, another argument thence arises in favour of the uniformity for which we contend.-111echanics' Magazine.

She called to theprisoner, who was sta n di ng w i th her back to the child, but received no reply. The door was forced by several neighbeurs, when p r i soner took the child down and unfastened the cord from his neck. The child was then black in the face. Sarah Jones stated that in the evening of the same day she heard screaming in the same house, and en going in found the prisoner hanging by a cord round her neck to the same nail, near the chimney-piece. " She appeared to be like a person who was nearly strangled, and I cut her down. Her mother chastised her for what she had been doing, when she took a knife and attempted to cut her mother's throat, but I pre vented her. The prisoner then ran upstairs, and attempted to run a fork into her little boy. She threw the fork at him and it entered his head. I took the child into my own house, but gave it up to her again in about half an hour. After that I heard the child, when in his mother's house, cry out, Don't stick the fork in me, mother,' and heard the mother reply, ' It'll only be for half a minute, Jack.' The prisoner had been drinking." The prisoner, on being asked if s hi, had anything to say in her defence, said to the magistratm, " I was overcome by liquor, and if I did such a thing it was unknowing to me ; I love the child as I love my lit. , " She was then committed for trial at the assizes.
