Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised. but to accomplish the work a sum of at least .€l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is prop,)sed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.- The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all det , r very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dent , st. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most, sensi tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a apecialite tertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embraces the non - interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until t hey become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth arc cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from ss. Sets from 5 to 25 ga., warranted.

Earl Granville, K.G., and President of the Council, appeared before the Edgware magistrates on a summons charging him with contravening the Cattle Diseases Act of 1866. The charge was " That you, the Right lion. Geo. Leveson Gower, Earl Granville, K.G., did on the Bth March last bring into the jurisdiction of the justices of the peace for the county of Middlesex, to wit, in the parish of Hendon, from some other part of Great Britain beyond the said jurisdiction, certain cattle, to wit, eight cows, in contravention of a certain order made by the local authority for the said jurisdiction, in pursuance of the Cattle Diseases Act, 1866." On the bench were Mr. A. W. Cox (chairman), Mr. L. D. Flood, and Mr. Belk. The prosecutor was the local inspector, Mr. Dale, who was represented by Mr. Peckham, and Mr. G. Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, represented the noble de fendant. Mr. Sleigh appeared for two other defen dants, the one a butcher, the other a cowkeeper, charged with the same offence. Mr. Peckham, in opening the case, stated that this was an offence -not personally committed by Lord Granville, but by his servants or agents, for whose acts there could be no doubt he was respon sible. The facts of the case were that beasts brought from Holland had been driven from Black-farm at Hendon, which was out of the district, and under the jurisdiction of the magistrates, whose regulation that no cattle should be moved from place to place had thus been contravened, and a very heavy penalty incurred. This contravention had taken place in two instances, and the cattle had either died or been slaughtered through having the plague, and though Lord Granville might not have been personally cog nisable of the circumstances, yet it must be held that he was answerable for his agents. He then called Mr. Panter, the steward of Lord Granville at the farm, near Child's-hill, Hendon. From the opening question it appeared that there were two summonses, the defendant being charged on one summons with bringing five cattle on Marsh 1, and an another with bringing eight cattle on March 8. Mr. Lewis said there was a mistake, and to shorten the case, he would inform the court the real facts of the case with respect to five cows brought on to the farm on March 8. The first summons was then abandoned, and • j Mr. Panter was examined on the second. Ile said that, on March 8, on returning to the farm, he found that five cows had been driven on to the pre mises by Mr. Roche, a cattledealer, who had bought cattle for Lord Granville for many years, and who occupied the next farm. The cattle were driven on the premises without Lord Granville's knowledge, and in obedience to an order which witness had given to Mr. Roche to buy some cattle if he could legally do so. Lord Granville's instructions always were that the law was not under any circumstances to be infringed, and witness had given these in structions to Mr. Roche, who told witness that he had complied with the law, inasmuch as he had a permit to drive the cattle on the farm from Sir R. Mayne. The cattle when seen by witness werequite healthy, and continued so for three days, when they were taken ill with some disease, which witness did not believe to be the plague. Mr. Peckham asked whether any other cattle on the farm had died of the plague which had been ordered to be slaughtered —a bull which caused roars of laughter. Mr. Roche was called, and he stated that his in structions from Mr. Panter were to comply with the law, and he thought he did so when he obtained the police permit. This permit enabled him to drive them on to his own farm, and he then drove them across the fields to Lord Granville's farm—the two farms adjoining. The Chairman asked whether the cattle had been driven through a hedge or gate. The witness replied, " The hedges are very green in our part of the country, and there is no trouble in getting through them." (A. laugh.) It was further elicited that witness's farm was in the metropolitan police district, while defendant's farm was over the boundary, and that the witness thought if he did not take the cattle over a road he should not be breaking the law. Mr. Lewis said his instructions were not to plead any technical objections, for his lordship was quite ready to take the responsibility of any act of his servants. But it must be apparent to the magis trates that his lordship was neither morally nor legally answerable in this case, for his servants had received instructions not to act illegally ; they had not acted illegally, and the only person who had acted illegally was Mr. Roche, who ought to have been summoned instead of his lordship. The sum mons charged Lord Granville with ‘, bringing" the cattle within the jurisdiction; hut he had nct brought them, his servants had not brought them, and there was no pretence for summoning him. The Chairman, after consulting the Bench, said the magistrates had come to the unanimous conclu sion that this was not a " bringing" of cattle within the meaning of the order by the defendant, and was Lord Granville i n l f e o g r a i l t ly had been proved that he t n h e i i s t neither e m r o e r s a p l o l morally s n i bolre, Lord Granville said he desired to state publicly ;hat he should not make any claims for compensation the cattle which had been slaughtered under ,hese circumstances. One of two cases which were defended by Mr. Sleigh was similar in the circumstance that the cattle were driven from one farm to another ; but they were thus driven into the magistrate's jurisdic tion by the defendant himself, who was fined 505., a mitigated penalty. A butcher was fined 20s. for each beast for having cattle driven out of the police district ; and the proof of the driving was held to be by the drover having been paid by his servants. In this case the police had given a permit to the farm, which was out of the district of the metro politan police. PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S PROCLAMA- TION. The following is the text of the proclamation issued by President Johnson : _ " Washington, April 2. Br THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES—A PROCLAMATION. "Whereas, by proclamations of the 15th and IGth of April, 1861, the President of the United States, in virtue of the power vested in him by the constitu tion and the lem‘declared that thelaws of the United States were opposed, and the execution thereof obstructed, in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, by combination too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals by law ; " And whereas, by another proclamation made on the sixteenth day of August, in the same year, in pursuance of an Act of Congress, approved July 13, 1861, the inhabitants of Georgia, South Caro lina, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Florida—except the inhabitants of that part of the State of Virginia lying west of the Alleghany Mountains, and to such other parts of that State, and the other States before-named, as might main tain a loyal adhesion to the Union and the consti tution, or might be from time to time occupied and controlled by the force of the United States en gaged in the dispersion of insurgents—were de clared to be in a state of insurrection against the United States ; " And whereas, by another proclamation on the Ist day of July, 1862, issued in pursuance of an Act of Congress, approved June 7th, in the same year, the insurrection was declared to be still ex isting in the States aforesaid, with the exception of certain specified counties in the state of Virginia ; "And whereas, by another proclamation made on the 2nd day of April, 1863, in pursuance of the Act of Congress of July 13th, 1861, the excep tions named in the proclamation of August, 16th, 1861, were revoked, and the inhabitants of the States of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Arkanas, Mississippi, Florida, and Virginia, except the forty eight counties of Virginia and the ports of New Orleans, Key West, Port Royal, and Beaufort in South Carolina, were declared to be in a state of insurrection against the United States ; and whereas the House of Representatives, on the 22nd day of July, 1861, adopted a resolution in the words fol lowing, viz. : " by the House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States, that the present deplorable civil war has been forced upon the country by the disunionists of the Southern States now in revolt against the constitutional Go vernment, and in arms around the capital ; that in this national emergency Congress, banishing all feelings of mere passion or resentment, will recollect only its duty to the whole country ; that this war is not waged on our part in any spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor for the purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established instit u ti ons o f t h ose States, but to maintain and defend the supremacy of the constitution, and to preserve the Uuion with all the dignity, equality, and rights of the several States unimpaired ; and that as soon as these ob jects are accomplished the war ought to cease;' " And whereas the Senate of the United States, on the 25th day of July, 1861, adopted a resolution in the words following, viz. : "Resolved, 'that the present deplorable civil war has been forced upon the country by the disunion ists of the Southern States now in revolt against the constitutional Government, and in arms around the capital; that in this national emergency Congress, banishing all feelings of mere passion or resentment, will recollect only its duty to the whole country— that this war is not prosecuted on our part in any spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of con quest or subjugation, nor for the purpose of over throwing or interfering with the rights or esta blished institutions of those States, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the constitution and all laws made in pursuance thereof, and to preserve the Union with all the dignity, equality, and rights of the several States unimpaired, that as soon as these objects are accomplished the war ought to cease ;' And whereas these resolutions, though not joint or concurrent in form, are substantially identical, and as such may be regarded as having expressed the sense of Congress upon the subject to which they relate : ti And whereas, by my proclamation of the 13th of June last, the insurrection in the State of Ten nessee was declared to have been suppressed, the authority of the United States therein to be undis puted, and such United States officers as had been duly commissioned to be in the undisputed exercise of their official functions; 4, And whereas there now exists no organised armed resistance of misguided citizens or others to the authority of the United States in the States of Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missis sippi, and Florida, and the laws can be sustained and enforced therein by the proper civil authority, State or Federal, and the people of the said States are well and loyally disposed, and have conformed or will conform in their legislation to the condition of affairs growing out of the amendment to the con stitution of the United States, prohibiting slavery within the limits and jurisdiction of the United States ; " And whereas, in view of the before recited pre mises, it is the manifest determination of the Ame rican people that no State of its own will has the right or power to go out of, or separate itself from, or be separated . from the American Union, and that therefore each State ought to remain and constitute an integral part of the United States ; " And whereas the people of the several before mentioned States have in the manner aforesaid given satisfactory evidence that they acquiesce in this sovereign and important revolution of the na tional unity ; " And whereas it is believed to be a fundamental principle of Government that people who have re volted and who have been overcome and subdued must either be dealt with so as to induce them voluntarily to become friends, or else they must be held by absolute military power, or devastated so as to prevent them from ever again doing harm as enemies, which last-named policy is abhorrent to humanity and freedom; " And whereas the constitution of the United States provides for constitutional communities only as States, and not as territories, dependencies, pro vinces or protectorates; and whereas su ch consti tuent States must necessarily be, and by tile consti tutioni and laws of the United States are, made f oo ting as to political equ4ls, and placed on a rights, immunities, dignity, and power with the several States with which they are united ; " And whereas the observance of political equality as a principle of right and justice is well calculated to encourage the people of the aforesaid States to be and become more and more constant and persever ing in their renewed allegiance ; and " Whereas standing armies, military occupation, martial law, military tribunals, and the suspension of the privilege of the writ of Habeas Corpus, are, in time of peace, dangerous to public liberty, incom patible with the individual rights of the citizens, contrary to the genius and spirit of our free institu tions, and exhaustive of the national resources, and ought not, therefore, to be sanctioned or allowed, except in cases of actual necessity for repelling in vasion or suppressing insurrection or rebellion ;

"ANDREW JOUNS ON." SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.--There - is very tide a phase called " slack water," which was very accurately repro duced in last night's debate. For a little while it seems uncertain whether the sea-level will continue to rise or begin to recede, and only those whose long experience has made them cognisant of the signs of the times can tell which way the water will incline. This is theparallelof yesterday's experience. Reform stands precisely where it was. We know not whether it was the weariness of the House of Com mons, or the feeling that a day's interval took away from the reality of the contest, but last night the dis cussion was all make-believe. Sir Fitzroy Kelly and the Malt Duty occupy the house this evening, for as Mr. Gladstone refused to promise him another night to air his crotchet, Sir Fitzroy refused to give way to the Franchise Bill. The discussion cannot be re sumed till Thursday, and the interval was fatal to any vivacity which might otherwise have been mani fested in the debate. The defence of Ministers was yesterday committed to amateurs and Under- Secretaries. Mr. Layard displayed his wonted com bativeness, and Mr. Forster tried to be concilia tory. On the other hand, Lord Dunkellin followed in the track of Lord Stanley in pointing out the inconvenience which must necessarily follow the consideration of a bill restricted to the single object of extending the suffrage, and recalled to the con sideration of the house the points which the speakers on the side of the Government have found it con venient with one consent to avoid. He did his work well ; but it has been done so often and so fully that we almost sigh for some one who will really undertake a defence of the Ministerial policy. The most fatal advocacy the Government has yet received was, however, that of Mr. Forster last night. He argued with great force against enter , taining any distrust of the effects of enfranchise ment, but he forgot that no one has shown such practical distrust of Reform as Lord Russell's Ad ministration. They have been afraid of their own proposals. The Ministers of the Crown have, for the first time in living experience, shrunk from showing their hands. We do not pay them the ill compliment of supposing they have not made up their minds as to the principle which should guide the measure of redistribution to be laid upon the table at some indefinite time in the course of the Session. Lord Russell has often been credited with audacity, and by none in happier terms than by Sydney Smith, who told us that he was ready to undertake at a moment's notice the command of the Channel fleet, not to mention still more responsible duties, but we do not believe that even Lord Russell, as First Minister of the Crown, could have been guilty of the incredible imprudence of having fixed upon the limit of the Borough qualification without having considered the redistribution of Borough seats. Mr. Gladstone refused to enlighten Mr. Marsh last night on the principles of redistribution adopted by the Government, but we may reasonably presume that they have agreed upon some principles. They are, however, afraid to acknowledge them. It is the height of rashness, to call it by no worse name, therefore, in Mr. Forster to comment on the unwillingness of the supporters of Lord Grosvenor's Amendment to trust themselves blindly to the guidance of the Government. The Government will not trust them, and why should they trust it ? The members of the Cabinethave no such confidence in their own principles as to be able to appeal to Parliament and the country to adopt them, andthey now accuse their opponents of distrusting the work ing classes, whereas the only real accusation which can be brought against them is at the most that of distrusting a fute policy over which the Govern ment itself can have but little control. This is the argument brought with unequalled force by L o rd Stanley on the first night of the debate, and it has never yet been touched. The issue now before it is under the control of the House of Commons ; if it once escapes from its control it cannot be recalled. Suppose a Franchise Bill passed, and what is then the condition of the Reform question ? It is con ceded, almost without dispute, that a Franchise Bill, and nothing more, would leave things worse than they are at present, even supposing no agita tion should follow. But agitation must follow. A. Redistribution Billof some sort—whether the skele ton bill promised to be submitted for inspection this session or not, nobody can tell—would be brought in next session. The Government declares it will stand or fall upon it. It follows that, in the event of a disagreementarisingbetween the Govern ment and the house, an appeal will be made to exist ing constituencies upon the simple question whether some of them shall be disfranchised or not. It is impossible to conceive a worse plan of settling the question. We have a Parliament now not elected upon any reform question, but upon a dis tinctly Liberal issue. There are some members of it returned for small boroughs willing to support a Redistribution Bill. But if a dissolution took place for the purpose of determining the simple point of redistribution ' it is impossible to b e li eve th a t t h e result could be otherwise than unfavourable to it. In no boroughs could the supporters of redistribu tion gain strength, and in many they would lose it. The question of redistribution, which Mr. Bright justly described years ago as the cardinal question of Reform, without which any reduction of the franchise would be illusory and contemptible, would thus be postponed indefinitely, and the latter end of the agitation would be worse than the first. It may be—in fact, it must be—that at some distant time a redistribution would be made, but it could not be carried until some extraordinary event had occurred stifficient to overpower the instinct of self preservation felt in a small borough as elsewhere, and though in such a case some solution of the ques tion would doubtless be accepted, we should only have to thank the pusillanimity of the present Go vernment for having deferred a period of tumult that which ought to have been settled, andnanht has have been settled, in a season of quietness and a eech con tentment. As yet only one independent tl3, l 3 It speech, been delivered in favour of Reform, andr 0 of the pro critically examined, was not in i favour justified his posals of the Government. how did that argu argument on Friday night, but by Lord Grosvenot's reputation in the house andiimil‘itrihe country by his ment affect the question I r . lire go further, and ask q uestion of accepting or Amendment? Not . aa how it affected simpletheern Government Franchise Bill, and we rejecting the a G s °v before —not at all. He proved, declared, that it • d • consistently desir able we have now unenfranchis d e should be must answer able many Classes of representatives of the working classes admitted to the privilege voting, that it would if only by way of a f sa ety-valve, to into the house of Commons ; but if it be asked how wbeelNic,oofnteh h e connected this argument with the conclusion that t h e Franchise Bill of the Government stand ing alone was worthy of adoption, we should b e at a loss for an answer. It is obvious that Mr. Mill was speaking of schemes of Reform for which much may be said, but which were not before the House of Commons. He was the eloquent expositor of ideas which are not found in the Government Bill, and which hitkerto have been There is at present before Par, one issue, and at the most tw , it is consistent with the duty the people to commit themsel. of one branch • of a scheme whole of which it is a part ; if whether a Franchise Bill is by provement of our existing systen. of adoption. Sir Hugh Cairns put these questions yesterday with the dialectic skill of which he is a _master. 'We b e li eve t h e di spass i onate answer to both mast Le in the negative, and certainly there was no reason adduced last night which could make any one waver in this conviction. 111 r. Maguire and Sir Francis Crossley are, in a different sort of way, both estimable men, andi we should be the last to accuse either of them of a lack of intelligence, but the Government must be indeed ill supported whose best defenders do not appear to understand the arguments it is incumbent upon them to meet. HERALD.—The speech of Mr. W. _E. Forster, yes terday evening,was directed with good effect to one of the most mischievous delusions which h ave ever obtained a place among political ideas. He assailed the error of those who in looking on England can see only the division of classes. The theory of re presentation which finds favour with Sir Bulwer Lytton, Mr. Adderley, and other leading members of the Opposition ; which supplies the basis of most of the arguments used in the press against the Franchise Bill, and which is likely to become the received Conservative doctrine on the subject, dis tributes the population of England into a hierarchy of social orders, to each of whom it would assign power in the inverse ratio of its numbers, and, so far as the essentials of national life are concerned, of its importance. The many, on this theory, are to be allowed but slight direct influence on the course of affairs, because they are many ; the few much, because they are few. The strong aro to be artificially weakened ; the weak to be artificially strengthened. The object of these provisions is avowedly to prevent the many from gaining the objects which it is thought they desire. If the motive and the process could be kept secret, it is possible that the experiment might succeed. But openly to ask the majority of the English people to allow a few timid theorists and landlords to tie their hands lest they should reach out for things which, by assumption, they wish to have, does not seem a very promising business. If they wish for these things, they will have them. If they do not desire them, where is the need of these elaborate precautions ? strong which To enter into the strong man's house and- bind make man Etrionegan i him is a task which can only be effected if the ninacnedoge countenance n s en o s sti c a poe i r y n l eu i ca t s 3 : na t ci O i eya expedients n b tl d d i d r h e aei recent submissiveness aatti expe rience a artifi cially I is England, oeanp, unnecessary or Dnecessaryoes eo adjusting the claims of classes, so as to pre ventw tr Since hi theheror Reform orders r r o m m A being f overridden by declinethe lower of merely sectional feeling, and the growth of a con viction that all classes from the highest to the lowest, have common interests, so that the well-being of any is inseparable from the we ll-bein g of all , has bee n conspicuous. The sentiment o f social an d national unity is characteristic of the age. If tide animosities and rivalries of a former period still subsisted, if the lower classes were eager to obtain m aster y over the higher, and numbers were bent on swamping pro perty and intelligence, the calamity w hich a few apprehend would already have befallen us. The Reform Bill of 1832 affords the means of doing all that is feared from the Franchise Bill of 1866. As Mr. Forster pointed out, an absolute majority in the borough constituencies consists of the lower middle classes, occupying houses of from £lO to £2O annual value. Yet we do not see them combining against the rest of the community. With the power of taxation and of legislation entirely in their own hands, we do not find them only taxing their neigh bours and legislating solely for themselves. The working classes have even now an absolute majority in certain boroughs. Yet they do not unite to send mere delegates and spokesmen of their own order to the House of Commons. The Reform Act of 1832 did not attempt any invidious discrimination between different classes; and hence none of these classes have attempted to assert its own electoral predominance. If the theory of class - rep resatation recommended now had been acted upon then, the result might have been very different from that on which we now congratulate ourselves. If the course wisely adopted in 1832 be followed in 1866, the same merging of class distinctions for the pro motion of the common weal may be confidently. anticipated ; but if, neglecting experience, and at tending only to h priori forebodings, the upper and middle ranks discriminate against the working classes, the working classes will certainly discrimi nate against the middle ranks. Sir Buiwer Lytton and Mr. Adderley seem trying all they can to put into the heads of labouring men that idea of class ascendancy which, iu their own interest and that of the country, they should carefully avoid suggest ing. The misgovernment of the territorial aris tocracy in its days of power, whielOs sometimes urged as a reason against giving supremacy to any class, is scarcely to the point in the present dis cussion, into which, however, it is habitually dragged. The abuses of an oligarchy ,cannot be properly converted into au argument against popu lar self-rule. The interests of the few may some times be, or appear to be, distinct from those of the nation at large. The interests of the many are inseparable from the:well-being of all. The con trast between the aristocratic legislation which pre ceded the Reform Act and the popular legislation which followed it, justifies and compels this dis tinction. The landlords did combine, but the £lO householders have never acted together as a class, and the £7 householders are not in any way more likely to do so, except as a consequence of the dis cussion of theories of class representation, and of attempts to reduce those theories to legislation. If they were really animated by the desire for predo minance they would achieve it far more readily by accepting the separatist doctrines of Sir Bul wer Lytton and the Liberal-Conservative press, than by acquiescing in a measure which will blend them with the rest of the community. The complete and exhaustive social statistics which Mr. Adderley demands, as the necessary condi . tion:of a satisfactory Reform Bill, are not likely to really help in its manufacture. John Bull would probably be as ill-fitted with a constitution framed ' from these data as Gulliver was by the tailor in ' Laputa, who proceeded about his business with an affectation of scientific method and precision worthy of the most deeply-thinking Liberal. " This officer did his office after a different manner from that of his trade in Europe. He first took my altitude with a quadrant, and then, by rule and compass, de scribed the dimensions and outlines of my whole body, all which he entered upon paper, and in six days brought in my clothes, very ill made, and and quite out of shape, by happening to mistake a figure in the calculations." In the Laputan tailor there seems to be a prophetic satire on the political projectors of our own day, who model constitutions on electoral statistics. One thing is quite clear to h a t s he M m r. o A st d n d u er m le e y ro s ns ugg th es e t i s r , s t t h re e n e g ff t e h ct ; will us, that if classes are to b e num b ere d , f or pol i t i cal p b u e r t p o o t s ea es c , whatever the first arrangements of our constitu tion-mongers, the end of such class-representation will be to ensure the untempered predominance of the largest class. With characteristic blindness, the now ruling orders are, by their conduct, inviting the calamity which in words they deprecate.

The inquest was on the body o f a child nine years old, named Toovey, who in September last swallowed the part of a bond needle case. The evidence showed that ho retained this until February, when ho one day coughed it up. Death was caused by en abscess in the right lung, this arising from the wound made by the portion of needle case.

It was only at the pressure of a priest that they consented to the examination being made. At the inquest, the mother was very violent, and such a crowd gathered about that something like a riot was anticipated. The mother was with some difficulty persuaded to give evidence of identity, &c., but insisted, a nd loudly, that she would have back the bit of bone that her child had thrown up.
