,7' l'''f;s4 4 Fro°,--- •.t ;la 01.42 /22 ~~~~G THE DUKE of YORX.—The most interesting and powerful LIKENESS of the DUKE of YORK will be found in His Royal Highness's memorable Speech on the Ca tholic Claims, ornamentally written and engraved on a plate 11 by 16 inches, by Mr. WALTER PATON, Writing-Master, 2, Devonshire-street, Portland-place, London ; to be had of the Printsellers generally, and of Mr. Paton. Price 7s. 6d. India, and ss. plain : the Portrait, without the Writing, 3s. From the Literary Gazette, Sept. 23, 1826 :—" Mr. Paton could not have devised surer mesas of attracting attention to his great abilities as a penman than by adorning this specimen of them with so admirable a likeness of the Commander-in-Chief. It is from Jackson's flue portrait, a most powerful and striking resemblance, and beautifully engraved by Thomson, in an oral about the size of half a crown piece. At this moment, when His Royal Highness's health causes so much anxiety, it is peculiarly interesting. The example of writing does great credit to Mr. Pa:ton's genius as a master in that profession." 2, Devonshire-street, Portland-place, Dec. 30, 1826. THE LATE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE. = Patuu's grand.display of Ornamental Penmanship, in Me mory of her Royal Highness the PRINCESS CHARLOTTE, containing an extremely fine MINIATURE PORTRAIT in the centre, and dedicated by permission to the King. Size of the plate 15 by 214 inches. Price one guinea India, and 15s. plain. From the "Imperial Magazine, Nov. 1825 :—" The difficulties attending the contrivance and execution of fine ornamental pen manship are well known to its professors, and commonly lead the performer into , ameness of composition and poverty of execution, but in Mr. Patun's specimen there is no repetition : the hands are so admirably chosen and arranged, the flourishes so varied and natural, and the whole performance so exquisitely fine, that it may unquestionably be considered the moat magnificent production in the art of ornamental penmanship that has ever appeared in this country," &e. MR. WALTER PATON's PUBLIC EVEN ING CLASS for WRITING, 2, Devonshire.etreet, Portland-place. —ln consequence of numerous applications for IN STRUCTION in WRITING by persons whose immediate liveli hood or future advancement depends on their proficiency in that art, and who find private lessons expensive, Mr. W. PATON has formed a CLASS at his own house, (on an economical, interest ing, and highly advantageous plan), where the various hands will be taught suitable to the man of business or the finished penman. Mr. Paton feels anxious that this class may be viewed as a com plete nursery for penmanship on undisputed principles, and as a harrier against the vague and improper encroachments of dep!aved taste and assumed talent so frequently pressed upon the notice of the public, whose attention being necessarily directed to other ob jects, have not always time to investigate the merits of every pro posed system. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 6toB in the evening. Terms may be known by applying to Mr. Paton. Paton's copy lines sold at 27, Paternoster-row. H AMILTONIAN SYSTEM. Mr. HA MILTON respectfully informs the Public, that after an absence of fifteen months in Ireland and Scotland, be has arrived at his sole Establishment in London, No. 25, Cecil-street, Strand, where he will MEET CLASSES of LADIES for the FRENCH, ITALIAN, and GERMAN, as soon as three or four persons of respectability shall have presented themselves. The first Lessons in each will be given on Monday (this day), from Eleven to Pour. Gentlemen's Classes, for the above, as well as the Spanish, La tin, and Greek Languages, will be formed during this and the following week. _ . • • •. Mr. Hamilton-will attend in any part of town or its vicinity, Where a Class of Six Persons can be formed, on the same terms as at his house, 2/. 10s. the Section of ten lessons for each per t); guaranteeing the proficiency to each. Mr. Hamilton pursues the intention announced in this and other Papits; to publish successively Keys to all the Books used in the whole course of the different Languages which he teaches. Th e eloquent and able defence of his system in the Edinburgh ldevv for June (a copy of which-may b e had gratis alshis keine or at Cr bookseller's), has rendered necessary nest Editions •p‘all his former works. They are now Completed, enlarged, and more carefully revised than the former, while the increased demand has enabled him to lower the price above 20 per cent. The Key to the Fables of Perrin, price .ss. has, in this second edition, been not only Much improved, but augmented by nearly 100 Pages. If there be any institution, or any individual, who may, from any motive, object to the use of St. John's Gospel for the first sec tion, they will find this book the best possible substitute for it; but, where it is thus employed, it will take two sections to learn it, whereas, by taking the Testament first, they will know that and the Fables also in the two first sections. For the third sec tions in the French Language, Mr. Hamilton has just published the Recueil Choisi, a beautiful book of above 400 pages, with a "'Waft particularly detailing the instruction necessary for the latter part of the course, price 7s. 6d.—Latin Testament and Epitome Hitorise Seem form the two first sections for the Latin tarassnage. Cornelius Nepos, with an interlineary translation , will be published the 15th January, and the six first books of the : Enid in February. Three other books are preparing for . this 'angnage, and will appear early in the Spring. Also, on the 15th (4 January, Campe, Robinson Crusoe, will be published, and form the 2d and 3d sections of the German course. Books are pre paring for the 4th and sth. The Second Edition of the Greek Gospel of St. John affords a proof that this language, hitherto retained almost exclusively within the walls of our colleges, may, by the Hamiltonian System, be as easily attained as any other. An expedient has been found to render barbarisms unnecessary, without departing from the principle of the system, which is to, communicate the knowledge of grammar at every line. It now presents with the closest li teral translation, a plain and obvious sense, so that the English reader can instantaneously consult the original of the Sacred Scrip tures as far as this Gospel goes, and know every word of it, even Without a teacher, with a fortnight's application. The other gospels will appear in succession. The Iliad is at press. Mr. Hamilton will be happy to afford, personally or by letter, every ? . ght and information relative to his system, to heads of Institu tions desirous of adopting it.

UROPEAN LIFE INSURANCE and AN NUITY OFFICE, 10, Chatham-place, Blackfriars, London.—This CoMpany is formed on principles combining every degree of security with advantages superior to any pre viously offered to the Public. It consists of a number of Pro prietors, who are required to assure on their own lives or o❑ those of approved nominees, sums proportionate to their respec • Live shares, on every transfer of which a new assurance is re quired to be effected. This system, by the perpetual renovation of policies, secures the stability and growing prosperity of the Company, and is productive of great benefit to the assured, who participate in the profits arising from the regulation, without be ing responsible for the engagements of the Company, which are secured by a large subscribed capital. In the year 1819, when the European Company was formed, the Directors caused rates of insurance to be calculated from the amalgamated life tables of all Europe, which produced results lower than the rates of any Company then established, and which will be still found lower than any of .the tables of Companies more recently formed, which adOt the insured to a participation in the profits : and this difference is so considerable as to be in the na ture of as annual bonus to the assured.

At ten o'clock yesterday morning the Loan Mairoa took hie seat at the Wardmote at Cutlers' Hall. It being understood that there were Ind few voters that had not poled, his Lordship inti mated that he would, if both the candidates consented in writing, adjourn for a few hours. Neither of the Counsel for the candi dates assenting, the poll proceeded, and, up to two o'clock, only two votes were polled, both of which were for Mr. Wilde. Some were brought up to poll after that hour, who were what are called " King's freemen." The LORD MAYOR, on one of them appearing and tendering his vote, informed him, that if he voted, and was not a freeman of a company, and a houSeholder of the ward, he would be liable to be indicted for perjury. The " King's freeman" then threw down the book indignantly, and said, "I won't do it." • Several ether persons came up, some of whom polled, and, among them, the beadle of the Vintners' Company, who polled for Mr. Sheriff Winchester. The Hall became crowded to exeess a short time before the close of the poll, and the several electors, as they came up and retired, received the applause and hisses of the assemblage. At font o'clock, the Loan MAYOR declared the poll closed. There was a considerable discussion between the Learned Counsel, as to the law on the point that the book should be sealed np, and a future time fixed for the Lord Mayor to declare the state of the poll. The Loan MAYOR said, he was ready to seal the poll-book up, if required by either of the candidates ; but it was for him to say how soon after he would open it.—(Lau b Mr. F. POLLOCK wished to hand to his Lordship, before the numbers were declared, the following paper : Vintry Ward, Thursday, Jan. 4. We, the undersigned, being two of the ward entitled to vote, and having voted at the election of an Alderman for this ward, do hereby object to the eligibility, of Henry.Wincliester, Esq., to the said office of Alderman, for that, among other reasons, he is one of the Sheriffs of London. (Signed) THOMAS MARSDIN. HENRY Er.mrs. The LORD MAYOR declared the numbers to be as follows : For Edward Archer Wilde, Esq. Mr. Sheriff Winchester (The applause, clapping of hands, and hissing at this declara tion, was such as to pass all description.) A demand of a scru tiny was then made on behalf of Mr. Wilde, and the same on behalf of Mr. Sheriff Winchester, which occupied a great length of time, and the meeting indulged thetnaalres with passing off their jokes. Mr. Sheriff WINCHESTER, addressed die Meeting. He re turned his best thanks to them for the kind manner in which they had that day confirmed his late election. His opponents had de manded a scrutiny, which, if it went (sr.". had no doubt would leave him is the same situation that he was at the former election. —(Tumult.)—Noise, be said, was no argument. He wished to speak to his friends, and that very briefly, and to thank them. On the scrutiny, he had no doubt but that he should succeed.—(A voice, " No, you won't.") He felt highly gratified.—(Another voice—" Poor fellow !")—He would say no snore, but thank them. —(Applause and hisses.) Mr. WILDE.-(Cries of Winchester for ever.)—He was anx ious to avoid a sacrifice of time, hut he could not avoid express ing how gratified he felt that good humour had been restored.— lie was exceedingly indebted to his friends for the efforts they had that day made to bring up the electors, which had only been dons in the confident hope that a scrutiny wculd have been avoided ; that had been their only wish for adding one more to the poll of the first day, which he considered decided the election, and had no doubt but his anticipations would be realised.--(Cheers.)—The magic number of three had been talked of, bat he should never forget number four ; when the oath was tendered to four of the most respectable gentlemen of the ward, they would not strain their consciences on any. account to serve him. He meant not to cast the least disrespect on those who had done otherwise ; no doubt they had taken a different view of the nature of that oath, which view he thought was wrong both in law and in fact. They had not thought proper to cloths themselves with that which would have given them a right to vote. They were rated as ware housemen ; had they been rated its householders, they would have had to pay the window-tax and the parish taxes—they also avoid-' ed the ward offices. After pointing out to the meeting the nature of the efforts that had been made on the other side, and the ex tremity to which tkey had been driven, he concluded by thanking tke Lord Mayor and the meeting for the hearing they had given him.—(Cheers.) The numbers for the candidates being equal, a casting vote was neeessarv, when a man, who had voted for Mr. Wilde about an hour before, presented himself again to vote for that gentleman, under the escort of his Committee, but being recognised by the friends of the Sheriff, he was ousted from the Hall, and treated with little ceremony by those who reprobated such an unjust at tempt to gain an advantage over the Sheriff. A meeting was appointed to be held next week for the purpose of fixing a day for the commencement of the scrutiny, .. ~. .. ~.. ...,„,, ~,,-; # ,--74..4.,.„...1 „ ..; „ -,-:.,.--- roo 0 . ~...,: k- -4 . ., N.. „..;51%;:.-V.,;(r, j '4' .-. .',.• - i. ; . ,, ~...,., •'',!,,, -''' • 4N, M V '' • ' g ''''': ^-.- ' . ~ r• .C4l 1 -,.. c'.(1 6 '.1..r r .4 , 1 ,1 ay, -' 7..

HEBER, late Bishop of Calcutta. pp. ISO. The late lamented Bishop of Calcutta was perhaps as accomplished a scholar as evergraced the English hierarchy. To a mind richly fraught with the various learning of the ancient and modern world, he added luxuriant imagery, fe licitous flow of language, and select propriety of epithet, as remarkable as the high poetic imagination that game splendour and consistency to his writings. As a divinity scholar he was no less celebrated than as a poet. Hie judgment, naturally vigorous, was strengthened by awl acquaintance with the works of our elder divines, particu larly of Jeremy Taylor, to whom he looked up with an admiration bordering on idolatry. Indeed, if we reinem bee rightly, he published an edition of this episcopal poet's works, which was much talked of at the time, for the eloquence with which its original observations were put forward. As early as his nineteenth year Dr. Heber dis tinguished himself by his " Palestine," a poem which gained the Chancellor' s medal at Oxford. In this, mo delled chiefly on Pope and Campbell, there was much to admire : it was, indeed, a performance of uncommon pro mise, and, except in the instance of his well-known vases entitled " The Passage of the Red Sea," was never ex celled by its author. The description of our Saviour's agonp—the passing, but vigorous, allusion to the Cru sadersthe lament of Zion—and, - lastly, the majestic pa- - raplirase of that sublime apostrophe in the Revelations (the finest thing in the records of human intellect) to the mighty angel, who, with one foot on the land,•and the other.on the sea, declares that time shall be no longer— these were passages which, in a youth of nineteen, fully justified every presage of first-rate excellence. As this poem, however, is the hands of almost every well-educated man, we forbear giving extracts, but cannot help quoting one line in it which appears to us eminently happy. It is, besides, a characteristic sample of Dr. Heber's felicitous versification. Describing Vengeance, he says— " Her thirsty ponini:d blush'd with infant blood." In the poems fiefore us, their talented author displays uncommon nerve as a translator of that most difficult and idiomatic of all authors—Pindar. He has transferred the energy of his thought into very appropriate diction; while, at the same time, he has kept a strict eye to fidelity. We give the following passage as a very creditable specimen of terseness and elegance : And tins, they tell that deep below The sounding ocean's ebb and flow, Amid the daughters of the sea, A sister nymph must Ino be, And dwell in bliss eternally But, ignorant and blind, We little know the soming hour; Or if the latter day shall low'r ; Or if to Nature's kindly power Our life in peace reeign'd, Shall sink like fall of summer eve, And on the face of darkness leave A ruddy smile behind.— For grief and joy, with fitful gale, Our etafi bark by turns Aseail, And, whence our blessings flow, That same tremendous Providence Will oft a varying doom dispense, And lay the mighty low. In conclusion, when we reflect that a mind thus richly and variously gifted, has but just departed from among us—that all its fine flow of feeling is dried up for ever— that the voice of its inspiration is mute—its lyre hung up on the willows—we shall scarcely be able to look at the specimens of talent that it has left behind it (among which the present volume ranks conspicuous), without afeeling of admiration, tinctured with regret, that they are the last we must ever have from the pen of their lamented author. But 'what says a well-known divine—" They are gone, the men of yesterday—they are gathered to the dust of past ages—their forms are sepulchred, and from the tomb alone must the voice of their wisdom henceforth arise. He whom you lament is of these." " So fades, so languishes, grows dim, and dies, All that this world is prom{ of." SPARRING AT THE TENNIS COURT. Harry Holt and Bob Baldwin took their first joint benefit, at the, Tennis Court, yesterday, and from the expected appearance of Crawley and Ward, they had, to all intents and purposes, an " overflowing house." The sparring was spirited, and afforded general satisfaction. The following men set-to :—Lennox and Jon Latham, Murphy and John Belasco, Ike Dodd and Jack the Painter, Jem Stockman and the Bristol Baker, Oliver and Whiteheaded Bob, Torn Belcher and Harry Harmer, Castles and Fisher, Pick and 11PCarthy, Harry Holt and Bill Abbott. NEW CIIALLENGES.—Previous to the last set-to, Whiteheaded Bob mounted the stage, and declared his readiness to make a match with Crawley, for two or three hundred pounds aside; or if Crawley would not fight, with Jem Burns, for one hundred aside ; to tight in a month. One of Jem Ward's backers immediately stood beside Bob, and offered to back Ward against him for one or two hundred, but to this Bob made no reply. Tom Belcher offered to make a match with Bob, to fight Jem Burns in April, for one hundred a-side. This, hoverer, did not suit Bob's views, who said he wanted to fight Jem in a month, and would not enter into any other engagement. Jem Burns then came on the stage himself, and said be was perfectly willing to meet Bob in a month, but hewas necessarily under the dictation of those by whom he was to be backed, and they thought it would require more time to get him in condition. —( Applause.) APPEARANCE OF CRAWLEY AND WARD. Jetr; Ward next attracted attention, and, on mounting the stage, was received with general approbation. His head was tied up in a handkerchief, and his countenance exhibited strong marks of punishment—his mouth, cheeks, and eyes being still very much swollen. Harry Holt, who acted as " gentleman usher" on the occa sion, called the attention of the amateurs to Jem's " fallen state." It was true, he said, that he had lost the tight, and what was dearer to_ him, his fame ; still there was one con solation left—he had not lost his honour—(Cheers).—He had done all that man could do to win the battle, but "it was not in man to command success." One of the combatants must necessarily lose, and for a time, 7:.“1 given the victory to Craw lee. Nevertheless, all who had seen the contest mast allow that Ward had sustained his pretensions to be a game and brave man, and it was to be hoped, such conduct would always secure him friends—(cheers). Harry then alluded to the small ness of the subscription which had been made for the losing man, and appealed to the well known generosity of the Fancy for a more liberal contribution, He would, himself, be a sovereign, mid he felt confident that there were others who would be wally prompt in affording their mite---(applause). Jena Ward's backer then advanced, and said, so confident was be of Jem's deserts, that he was ready to back him again, either against Crawley or any other man in the kingdom, from one hun dred to a thousand pounds—(Loud cheers). Peter Crawley next made his bow. He was attired in slap vr Boljamins, and like Ward, bore evident marks of his late en counter. His temples were wrapped in a yellow facile, and hi, eyes and mouth were a little swelled ; but his p u nishment does not seem to have been so severe as that of his antagonist's.— His reception was truly cordial. He came before the Court, he said, as a winning man ; but he felt it it his duty to say, that hr , never had been engaged with a braver, or a better man than Ward. Indeed, he thought he was as good a man as himself.— By good fortune he had gained the battle, and he felt a con scious pride that he had been able to achieve so noble a feat; for when successfully opposed to the man who was considered the beet in England, it was impossible that his honour could have been inereased.—(Applause.)—lrpon the subject of the challenge which had been given him on that day, he had but one short an swer to make. He had, from that day forth, 'determined to resign the character of a prize-fighter, and would not again enter the Ring to please the King of England. Every man had a right to be the judge of his own course of action, and his mind was made up. In making this declaration, it was out of no disrepect to the patrons of the Ring, to whom he felt grateful, but frona sincere conviction that, if he were to fight for seven years to come, he never could place himself in a more enviable situation than at the present moment. Glory, and not money, had led him to' the field ; and its he had reached, the pinnacle, he would now leave to. others to fight for that championship to which he begged to resign all claim. In conclusion, he trusted the merits of Ward would be duly appreciated, and that those wants which generallyaccompa nied the fate of a losing man, would he generously supplied ; for himself, he said he should give him two sovereigns.---(Applanie.) Peter then retired amidst the cheers of his friends. At the end of the reports, Hariy Holt made a neat speech, in thanks for the very liberal manner in which his own benefit, and that of Whiteheaded Bob had been patronized, and announced that their second benefit would take place on Thursday next ; two days after the fight between Robinson and Young Gas. It is expected that a liberal subscription will yet be made for Ward. - ROBINSDN AND YOUNG GAs.—lt has been arranged- by,mn. tual consent, that this fight shall take place near Hereford, where Robinson is now training. In consideration of going this long distance, the men are to receive fifty pounds each from the Fancy in that neighbourhood, and it is anticipated, that no interruption will take place. Gas and Dick Curtis yesterdiy Ono Oxford, on the road to the scene of action. The fight is fixed to take place on Tuesday next, macs; the melancholy event, upon which the public have felt such painful anxiety, should intervene, when a future day will be appointed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—A yoting man named 21Pkeich, alias M'Pherson, alias .zir Gillivray, alias .211' Gregor, was brought before Alderman AN nil-, on a charge of fraud. The prisoner had, it appeared, made it a practice, to defraud the Scotch commercial men in the city, by going and .pretend ing to claim relationship to them, and representing hirn.telf in extrerge distress, from a number ofunavoidable accidents. Mr. Haddan, of the firm of Hadrian, Gattie; and Haddan, re spectable solicitoM in Throgmorton street, now charged the pri soner ate an impostor. He had, some time ago, come -and re-- presented that he had just escaped from the shipwreck of a Leith smack, aid was 'in the utmost distress. He mentioned some 7 , ,ties in Scotland, and other circumstance, which the prosecutor did not particularize, but which induced him to give the prisoner relief.—Altogether the prosecutor gave him about 131. The last time be went away he said to .one of the clerks as he went out, ' Your master says you are to give me half a crown." The cle't - k gave it to him, and this additional piece of swindling coming to the ears of the prosecutor, he requested the clerk to apprehend him wherever he met him. The clerk happened to meet the pri soner when at work at another place, and secured him. The Alderman ordered the prisoner to be sent to the tread-mill for one month. ' . The prisoner roared out most lustily for mercy as soon as he heard the tread-mill mentioned, and begged the sentence might be mitigated. The Aldertnsn.--If the law would allow me you should hays a more severe punishMent. The Chief Clerk, on looking at the act, found that the Magis strate had more extended power. _ _ Alderman 'Atzstri.—Then make out tl'e commitment fur two nfontbe--this was accordingly done. MARLBOROUGH-STREET..--The following case has been under investigation fer, come days past before. Mr. Cosutir, the Magistrate. • _ _ _ _ eFor the last two or three .years, Mr. Royle, a respectable sta tioner, in Leather-lane, Holborn, has had frequent occasions to feel cetwinced that some persons in his employment were commit ting serious depredations upon his property,. of every description. Mr. Royle; although he had abundant cause to suspect every body in his service generally, yet he had no sufficient cause to suspect nay individttell particularly, and the game of plutider went on mouth after inontt without discovery'. In vain did Mr. Royle discharge from his service foremen, shopmen, warehousemen, por tens, errand-boys, servant-maids, carpenters, bricklayers, &c. &c. all was useless, until about a fortnight ago, when an accidental circumstance brought to light the system of robbery under which Mr. Royle had been so long suffering. Mr. Royle chanced to detect one of his female servants in the act of purloining some arti cles of plate, and she was taken with the property upon her, before she had time to convey it away. She was forthwith brought to this office, from whence she was fully committed. On the examination of this girl, Mr. Royle bitterly complained to the magistrate of the ruin his property was suffering from some private system of spoliation, carried on by some persons in hie employ. This statement, with a report of the girl's committal, was published in the newspapers the next day ; and in the course of the following Mr. Royle received an anonymous letter, stating, that the writer, having seen by the newspapers that the system of robbery on Mr. Royle's property, in which .the writer himself had , once joined, but of which he had long since repented, was'still going on, was impelled by his conscience to point out the persons carrying on this system of plunder, and the means by which it. was effected. In consequence of the information contained in this letter, Mr. Royle employed Clements and Scofield, two active offi cers of this branch of the police, who quickly apprehended Henry Wayman, foreman to Mr. Roele ; Charles Flint, a disharged shopman from Mr. Royle's ; Juslma Jones, a carpenter, working for Mr. Royle by day, and one of the watchmen of St. Luke's pa rish by night ; Peter Faulkner, a porter in the service of Mr. Royle ; Charles Faulkner, son to the last-named prisoner, as er rand boy in Mr. Royle's service ; and Henry Roffy, another er rand boy, discharged from Mr. Royle's service. On the apprehension of these prisoners, each seemed more anxious than the other to what is techniCally called " split," that is implicate all the others, and save himself if he could.. Wayman, however, caught the officer's ear first, and as he was the ringleader of the gang, so was he the better able to describe their operations, and as he was the most confidential person in . Mr. Royle's service, he was the better able to carry on an ,unsus pected plunder. Wayman then voluntarily stated to the officers, that he was in the constant habit of supplying the other prisoners with every description of property from Mr. Royle's stock, &c. The rest of the prisoners also confessed , their participation in the various robberies, and pointed out to the officers, where they had most recently sold or pledged any of Mr. Royle's property. The officers proceeded to several pawnbrokers, and other shops, when a vast quantity of paper and stationery were found belong ing to Mr. Royle. To show the destructive nature of the plunder, a brass-embossed printing roller, which cost Air. Royle 20/., al though a very small size, was sold by the prisoners for 10s.; and in this way , hundreds of pounds' worth of property had been sacri ficed. All the six prisoners were yesterday brought tip for final . examination, when Wayman, Flint, and Jones , we r e full y corn tnitted-fovirial: • The two Faulkners were, from a leFe participation its guilt than the others, admitted witneseee for the Crown, and discharged, and Roffy WAS detained for another examination. CORONER'S 'INQUEST.

The deceased was a most exemplary young woman ; 8110 wa s a most valuable servant ; it was impteojble to speak in t oo hi g h terms o f h er conduct.

She had only been out of his house twice since she had been in his service. Coroner—Was she a gi r l of weak intellect ? Witness—By no means ; quits the contrary.

She asked him if he thenlit that drowning was au easy death; for she had heard it was? Witness replied, that he could not tell.
