They desire respectfully to remind that Parliament that the facts connected with the arrangement, preparation, and issue of the Grand Trunk prospectus in London, in April, 1853, are of a nature not to be lightly passed over by the Canadian Legislature, in the consideration of the preceding petition. The committee therefore assert respectfully, but firmly, that, by virtue of the language, tenor, and publication of the prospectus of 1853, the bond and share holders have now a claim on the conside ration of Canada, not so precisely legal as to be car ried into the Courts which construe ordinary contracts ; but a claim strong in its identity with those moral obligations of honesty and truth, apart from which fair dealing becomes a fiction, and society a broken reed.

"An extraordinary work, which has earned for Itself a lasting place in the literature of the country, and within a few years found innumerable readers in every part of the globe. There is no book extant that treats so well of the period to the illustration of which Mr. Alison's labours have been devoted. It exhibits great knowledge, patient research, indefatigable industry, and vast power.' Edinburgh Review. " There is much in Mr. Alison's history of the French Re volution against which we intend to record our decided pro test ; and there are some parts of it which we shall feel com pelled to notice with strong disapprobation. We, therefore, hasten to preface our less favourable remarks by freely ac knowledging that the present work is, upon the whole, a valuable addition to European literature, that it is evidently compiled with the utmost care, and that its narration, so far as we can judge, is not perverted by the slightest partiality." North American Review. " After a full examination, we do not hesitate to say that this is the most complete and honest history of the French Revolution which has as yet appeared, either in England or France." Foreign Quarterly Review. "We acknowledge with pleasure the force and fidelity of Mr. Alison's work on the French Revolution. It is by far the ablest historical performance of the last century, exhibit ing remarkable diligence without any loss of spirit, and doing impartial justice on higher principles than have yet been announced in history." From Preface of the German Translation by D. LudwiaMeyer. " Alison's History of Europe, and the States connected with it, is one of the most important works which literature has produced. Years have elapsed since any historical work has created such an epoch as that of Alison ; his sources of in formation and authorities are of the richest and most com prehensive description. Though his opinions are on the Conservative side, he allows every party to speak for itself, and unfolds with a master's hand how far institutions make nations gre tt and mighty and prosperous." From Preface of the French Translation by M. Paquis. " The work of Alison is indispensable to all who are form ing collections on the history of Europe during the Revolu tion. It is the completion of them all." William Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh and London. Complete in Twelve Volumes, TALES FROM "BLACKWOOD."

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRMEA; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment • and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual llypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. rickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that be has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if lie shall detect any other squally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with, no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed. and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated so lone upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Picktord ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is gold, places it within tlin reach of every one interested in the matter." — Dublin Medical Press.

The select committee of sharehcders and bondholders in this company, appointed on the 2d f January to confer with the directors concerning all the affairs of the company, have just issued their first report. It states that they have -examined at great length the preident and many of the officers of the company, whose 'sit to this country had been required preparatory to the anuary meeting, and for other purposes. The committee lave also examined other persons practically acquainted will Canada, and personally conversant with the condition, diiculties, and prospects of the Grand Trunk line. The comnittee have also, as directed by the terms of the resolution afpointing them, conferred frequently and freely with the Lndon Board of Directors, and they have had placed fitly at their disposal all the information and resources available in this coun try. - As thn result of these Inquiries and conferences the committee have stavired at the clear conviction that until the report of the three commissioners appointed by the Government of Canada, in November last, to inquire into the present condition and management of the Grand Trunk line, has beet, received here, it will be premature to send to Canada from this country any second commission of inquiry. The report of the Canada Commissioners will be presented in the course of the present month of February, and will, therefore, be received in England within a few weeks from this date. The committee havo also arrived at the conclusion that at present it is not expedient to send to Canada, as proceeding officially either from the commit tee or the London Board, any specific scheme or proposal indicating the precise mode in which relief is to be sought from the Government of Canada. The Canadian Parlia ment will assemble about the end of the present month of February, and the committee believe that they are quite justified in their expectation that the subject of the difficul ties of the Grand Trunk Company will form one of the ear- liest questions to be consideredby one or both of the Houses of Legislature. The committee, as at present advised, re commend the share and bondholders to await intelligence of the course taken by the Canadian Government and Par- liament. The committee desire to state that they have exa mined carefully, to the extent of the means in their power, into the manner in which the affairs of the company are managed in Canada; but, inasmuch as the evidence thus obtained is voluminous in its nature and refers to matters of practical detail, requiring closer investigation and more careful deliberation than the committee have been able as yet to bestow upon it, they refrain for the present from re cording their opinims in this report further than that the general system of management will require considerable modification. In the meantime the committee have adopted the conclusion that the best and most effective means of advancing the claim of the Grand Trunk Companyupon the ccnsideration of the Canadian Government and Houses of Assembly will be by means of a petition to be sent by the share and bondholders in this country, praying generally (subject to a careful reservation of all legal rights) for relief and assistance in the present embarrassments of the line. The committee have prepared a petition in this sense, and a copy of it is appended to the report. This petition will lie for signature in London at the offices of the company, 21, Old Broad-street, City ; at Messrs. IVaterlow's, Bit:lain-lane and Parliament-street; and at the Stock Exchange, London ; and at the several Stock Ex changes at Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol, and Dublin. The despatch of the petition by the earliest possible date is most impor tant, and hence the committee have to urge the promptest measures for the collection of a large number of signatures. The committee have appended to their report a statement of reasons in support of the petition of the share and bond holders applying for aid to the Canadian Parliament. The committee rest their appeal tc the Canadian Parliament on sixprincipal grounds, viz., 1, on the circumstances connected with the introduction of the Grand Trunk scheme into the English money market early in 1853; 2, on the declared policy of the - Legislature of Canada on the subject of rail. ways for several years prior to the prospectus of 1833; 3, on the apportionment of nearly two-thirds of the total aid granted by the province to the construction of lines which at present and for several years to come are and must be wholly non-commercial in their character—that is to say, that while desirable as public works for the benefit of Ca nada, are indefensible as mercantile investments for pur. poses of dividend ; 4, on the obligations of aid which have been admitted by the province in the course of discussions which have taken place during the last few years ; 5, on the benefits which have been conferred by the Grand Trunk system on the province ; and 6, on considerations of general policy touching the future progress of Canada, and insepar able from the financial credit of the Grand Trunk Railway Company. The original prospectus of the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada was issued in London in April, 1853. It proposed to raise a total capital of £9,500,000 sterling, for the purpose of completing and constructing a series of main or trunk lines within the province of Ca nada, extending to a mileage of 964 statute miles. As por tions of this mileage, the prospectus set forth that the fol- lowing railways, the works of vhich were in a state more or less advanced, would be amalgamated with the new com pany,viz., Grand Trunk Railwsyof Canada East, 142 miles; Quebec and Richmond Railvay, 96 miles; St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railway, 144 miles; Grand Junction Railway, 50 miles; Toronto and Guelph Railway, 51 miles. To the mileage of 964 miles within Canada was to be joined, by means of a lease in perpetuity, the Atlantic and St. Law. rence Railway, running for 48 miles through the State of Maine from the frontier at Island Pond to the city of Port land on the Atlantic shore. The total mileage, therefore, amounted to 1,112 miles, and included the Victoria-bridge at Montreal. Interest at 6 per cent. per annum on the shares and bonds was promised until the entire completion of the works. A sum of £837,600 in shares and debentures was stated to be expressly reserved for parties in Canada inte rested in some of the amalgamated lines. The estimated gross earnings of the 1,112 miles when fully open were computed in the prospectus atthe rate of £25 per mild per week, or equal to £1,479,66) per annum. The working expenses were estimated at 40 per cent., or equal to £591,864 per annum, leaving sn annual sum of £887,796 available for rental of leased lines, debenture interest at 6 per cent. per annum, and a dividend on £4,864,800 of share capital equal to 111 per cent. per annum. Attached to the prospectus were three elaborate appendices, the first de scribing in detail the proposed topography and estimated cost of the system of lines ; the second entering into minute calculations of revenue ; and the third, a copy of a lengthy despatch from Lord Elgin, Governor-General of Canada, dated at Quebec, the 22d of December, 1852, and setting forth facts illustrative of the progress of Canada. By frequent passages in the prospectus and appendices, this despatch was rendered an integral part of the publication, and was expressly employed and put forward in order to stimulate the applications for shares and debentures. The. first two names appearing in this prospectus as directors in London, were Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P., and Mr George Carr Glynn, M.P., described as "agents of the Province of Canada, and directors of the company, on behalf of the Canadian Government." The first six names in the list of persons under the title of " Directors in Canada," were entered in the prospectus as follows, viz. :—" Hon. John Ross, member of the Legislative Council, Solicitor- General of Upper Canada, president ; Hon. Francis Hineks, M.P., Inspector-General; Hon. E. P. Tache, M.L.C., Receiver-General; Hon. Jas. Morris, M.L.C., Postmaster- General; Hon. Malcolralliameron, M.P., President of the Executive Council; Hon. R. E.Caron, Speaker of the Legis lative Council." Your committee desire to represent in terms the most forcible consistent with the perfect respect entertained by them for the Legislature of Canada that it was in bone fide reliance upon the representations put forward as from the Canadian Government in this prospectus, that in 1853 the petitioners and other persons became subscribers to the Grand Trunk Railway. The petitioners, and their fellow -countrymen generally ; read the prospectus in its plain and obvious sense, and with every disposition to attach none but the most obvious and honourable meaning to the statements contained in the document. Thoy found that two of the most distinguished merchants and bankers in London were prominently described as " directors on the part of the Canadian Go vernment." They found that no less than six leading members of the Canadian Executive were directors in Canada. They found elaborate topographical descriptions in support of the statements of traffic ; and they also found the official signature and statements of the Governor- General virtually made part of the document. The petitioners gave to Canada the full benofit of the official connexion which its Legislature and Government so markedly assumed in the prospectus, and they became in vestors in Canada and claimants on the Grand Trunk Railway, in the full persuasion that a Colonial Government which had sought assistance in England in a form so public and conspicuous, would at all times be ready to extend'to the obligations thus incurred at a distance of 3,000 miles not a construction resting on narrow rules of law, but an interpretation large, liberal, and statesmanlike. The committee rely with confidence upon the readincge of the LONDON AND SOUTI[ • •WESTERN. The directors of this company have just issued their re port. It states that the net revenue for the half-year end ing Dec. 31, 1860, after deducting interest on loans and all other preferential charges, amounted to £187,686, to IA hich is added £3,097, the surplus from the preceding half-year, making the balance available for dividend £190,783. From this sum the directors recommend that a dividend be de clared at the rate of £5 ss. per cent, per annum, payable on the 28th inst., and amounting on £7,199,656 of paid ,up capital to £188,991, leaving a balance of £1,792. The in crease in the gross revenue for the half-year over the cor responding period of 1859 amounted to £45,757, which had been earned over an increased mileage of 504 miles opened for traffic in 1869. The total receipts during the past half year amounted on 389 miles to £565,727, the working ex penses to £241,049, the taxation to £28,010, 'and the net revenue to £296,668. For the corresponding half of 1859 the total receipts amounted on 339 miles to £519,970, the worKIL 6 ospaslocz Lv .0900,160, kho to,ation fn X 25 ,9 4-1. and the net revenue, £265,260, showing an increase of £45,757 in total receipts, of £11,580 in the working expenses,£2,769 in the taxation, and £31,408 in the net receipts. The sea son had been most unfavourable both for the promotion of the traffic and for the maintenance of the permanent way and works. Among the charges against the company the interest on the larger portion of the cost of constructing the Exeter extension line and works had now for the first time been brought forward as a charge against revenue. In pursuance of the authority given by the proprietors, £554,898 of the perpetual 41 per cent. preference stock, and £346,948 of the perpetual 4 per cent. debenture stock, had been issued to the 31st of Deceniber last. The rolling stock had been kept in good condition during the past year. The locomotive department compared favourably with the corresponding period in 1859, looking to the extra number of miles run ; and the whole charges in this department were made against revenue, the only amounts charged under that head to capital being £614 for four pumping engines at various stations. In the carriage department the comparison was still more favourable, the whole amount of expenses incurred for repairs, &c., being £935 less than in the corresponding period of 1859. £14,233 had been paid to Messrs. Wright and to Messrs. Brown, Marshall, and Co., for additional carriage and wag gon stock for the new lines, and the amount had been charged to capital. The permanent way had been main tained in good working order, although at an increased ex pense of upwards of £B,OOO. This had been principally caused by the extremely severe season and continued wet weather. Upwards of £5,000 of the amount had been ex - pended in repairing some very heavy slips in the clay dis tricts. Twenty-three additional miles of the main line had been relaid and fish-jointed during the past year, and a sum of £33,105 had been carried to the debit of the perma nent way improvement account. In accordance with the resolution of the proprietors, £lO,OOO had again been charged from this account against revenue. The directors in the present session promote no bill before Parliament. There were, however, several projects in the company's district which were calculated more or less materially to affect their interests, which the Board would carefully watch, and take such measures respecting them as might be deemed advisable. The directors much regretted the loss of their late colleague Mr. M. Uzielli, whose experi ence had for 16 years been of great assistance to the com pany. The report of Mr. J. Beattie, superintendent of the locomotive department, stated that the expenditure in the locomotive and carriage departments for the half. year was represented by a mileage rate of 9.59 d., the locomotive department being 7.84 d., and that of the carriage de - dartment 1.75 d. During the last six months of the year 1859 the rate per train mile was 10.06 d.. showing a re duction of 0.47 d. per mile. The increase in the passen ger train miles was 123,233, and in the goods train miles 78,100, giving a total increase of 201,339 miles. The ex tension of the railway to Exeter had caused this increase in the train mileage. 120 waggons and five horse-boxes had been constructed by contractors ; and two horse-boxes, ten carriage trucks, and six goods guards' vans had been built at those shops as additional plant for the new lines. The capital account showed that £11,288,394 had been re ceived, and £11,191,412 expended, leaving a balance of £96,982. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE WEEK. [ways. Miles Opened. 1861.

Rear-Admiral Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., yes terday hoisted his flag (blue) at the mizen on board the Fisgard flagship of Commodore the Hon. J. R. Drummond, C. 8., at Woolwich, on assuming his appointment as Commander-in-Chief at the Cape of Good Hope. A salute in honour of the ceremony was fired by the Fisgard's guns. The Chanticleer, 17, screw corvette, will be launched from No. 2 slip, in Portsmouth dockyard, at about 11.20 a.m. to-day. She is a duplicate ves sel to the Rinaldo,- fitting for commission at the same port, and which vessel completed shipping her armament yesterday. It consists of 16 32- pounder guns, 32 cwt. each, and 6ft. Gin. in length, mounted on rear-truck carriages; one long 32- pounder pivot gun abaft, of 59 cwt., and two brass boat guns and a field-piece-6-pounders. The 16 broadside guns are of 1834 pattern. The Lords of the Admiralty have concluded a contract with the Low Moor, the Bowling, the Butterly, and some other ironwork companies for the supply of the massive wronghtiron beams, armour-plates, and other portions of the ironwork for the iron-cased steamer about to be commenced at Chatham dockyard, and during the past few days a considerable quantity of the iron for the new vessel has arrived at the dockyard from the several con tractors. The second dock, in which the mail-clad steamer is to be constructed, is now occupied by the Isis, 44, and the screw gunvessel Pigeon, 5, fitting ; but both of these vessels are expected to be undocked in the course of a few days, after which the prepa rations will ne commenced for laying down the iron steamer. Messrs. Grissell and Co;, -of the Regent's Canal Ironworks, who have entered into a contract with the Admiralty for the erection of the iron workshops, factories, and forges close to the second dock, for the mechanics who are to be em ployed on the new ship, have made considerable progress with the buildings, which will cover the entire space between the first and second docks. The principal workshop will be 320 feet in length by about 50 in breadth at its widest part, and will be covered nearly throughout with glass. Other work shops, on a smaller scale, are also in progress, ac commodation being required for 1,000 workmen. The whole of the iron buildings are being erected under the superintendence of Mr. Rivers, the clerk of the works at Chatham dockyard. In anticipation of the reduction at Chatham dock yard, several of the hired shipwrights and mechanics at that establishment have already requested per mission to take their discharge, which has been granted them. The Isis, 44, fitting at Chatham for the Coast of Africa, is completely rigged, and ready for the pen dant. Her Majesty's iron paddlewheel vessel Trident was yesterday hauled out of basin at Woolwich, and was moored alongside the receiving hulk Sal sette, for the transfer of her crew to the ship in preparation for sea. The gunboats Sparrow and Dart were also taken out of basin into ordinary. The Philomel, 6, screw gunvessel, Commander Leveson Wildman, steamed out of Portsmouth har bour yesterday morning to Stokes -bay, for the purpose of testing her speed at the measured mile, before proceeding on service on the West Coast of Africa, where she will be employed in the sup pression of the slave trade. The average of the runs made at the mile gave the ship a speed in knots of 9.540, using a Griffith's propeller, at a draught of water of 12ft Sin aft, and 10ft 9in for forward. On her trial at light draught, prior to her commission, drawing lift sin aft and 7ft lin forward, using the Admiralty, or common screw, with its leading corners off, she attained a speed of 10.851 knots. The diameter and pitch of the screw being in both cases nearly the same, the Griffiths used on the present trial being . 9ft diameter, with a pitch of 12ft Gin, and the Admiralty screw used on the trial at light draught differing only from the Griffiths in having two inches less pitch. The Torch, a sister vessel to the Philomel, on her deep draught trial, made 8.843, the draughts of water being about equal. The Ranger, also a sister ves sel, on her deep draught trial, drawing 4-1-- inches less than the Philomel, made 8.981 knots. It will be seen, therefore, that the Philomel's trial has been a very successful one, and bids fair for her success in her future career as a " slave liberator." The screw steam frigate Immortalite, 51, Capt. George Hancock, from Spithead, under canvas only, having the wind from south-east, blowing fresh, arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday morn ing. The screw steam gunboat Hind, tender to the Russell, 60, at Falmouth, left Plymouth t d yes Cr ay, for head-quarters. The screw steamship Centurion, 80, Capt. H. D. Rogers, C. 8., slipped her moorings on the west shore of Hamoaze yesterday, and was towed towards Keyham Steamyard, preparatory to en tering the dock. The paddle steamsloop Spiteful, 6, Commander Wilson, having embarked supernumeraries, crossed topgallant yards in Hamoaze on Thursday morn ing, got up steam, and in the afternoon, at high water, entered Plymouth Sound through the chan nel between Drake's Island and Mount Edgcumbe, and took her departure for the North America and West India Station, calling first, it is reported at Bermuda. Mr. William Willoughby Howell, second lieut. of the screw steam corvette Jason, in Hamoaze, died on Thursday morning in the Royal Naval Hospital, Plymouth. The screw steamship Aboukir, 90, Capt. Douglas Curry, having been cleaned and had her valves overhauled, was taken out of No. 3 dock in Key ham steamyard yesterday morning, ready for re moval at high water into Hamoaze.

The defen dants pleaded that the plaintiff was incompetent, .• and had been guilty of misconduct. Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Henry James for the defendants. Mr. Lewis, in stating the case, said the plaintiff had been in the service of the bank for five years, • and in August last was appointed one (kf the ledger . c l e rk;. After he had been at that work some two or three weeks, he court not make his balance agree by 6s. 6d. He devoted considerable time with a view of discovering the error, and thinking he had detected it, he made an alteration in .an account already correct. This inadvertence came to the knowledge of Mr. Dixon, the chief ledger clerk,. and was reported by that gentleman to the manager. The manager informed the plaintiff that, in conse quence of what had transpired relative to Pullin- t: gees frauds, this matter would have to go before the board; and, after being kept some time in consider- : able suspense, the plaintiff was summarily dismitised • on the 3d of Oct.' He now, came to that court te, clear his character from the aspersions cast upon it; by the defendants, who admitted that he had been a faithtul and diligent servant up to the period of this unfortunate error, which any one, however careful, might. have fallen into. Notwithstanding • this long service and faithful discharge of his duties, the directors turned the plaintiff off, without cha racter and without a shilling, his future prospects in life blasted, and his young wife and family plunged into much suffering, simply on account of this trivial error of 6s. 6d. • _ _ _ Mr. Henry James then addressed the jury for the defendants. He deprecated all attacks upon the directors, who were merely doing their duty to the shareholders. They wished it to be understood that the plaintiff had been a good and faithful servant up to the time o: takes, and that he could not in the least have benefited by the alteration,. but what they charged him with was, that he had made wilful alterationd in order to conceal an error, which was such an act of mitrriduot as fully justified the board in dismissing %lel. Mr. Dixon, the chief ledger clerk, was then. examined, and said that the plaintiff had given satisfaction as cash clerk. He was promoted to ledger clerk under probation, and if he had been found incompetent he would have been discharged. The witness then spoke of the error made by the plaintiff. Cross-examined—The first error arose through the plaintiff's copying from the book of a cash clerk who had made a mistake in entering the amount. That clerk was not reported to the manager. The entries made by the plaintiff in the rough book directly led witness to the discovery of the errors. If the plaintiff honestly believed he had detected the error, lie was bound to alter the book after he informed witness. Two clerks, who had been in the bank 15 and 11 years, had recently resigned. Mr. Lewis replied—This was a most serious issue for the plaintiff, and if the directors obtained the verdict, the jury would be saying that the plaintiff had wickedly and fraudulently altered the books. He (Mr. Lewis) had no hesitation in saying his unfortunate client had been made the scapegoat of Pullinger's frauds, where the directors by their bad management had allowed the shareholders to be plundered of some hundreds of thousands of pounds, and now wished to make a display , of their great watchfulness over the affairs of the bank by summarily dismissing and ruining a young clerk whom they admitted had served them well for the paltry and unfortunate error of 6s, 6d. The learned Commissioner then summed up, and left the jury to say whether plaintiff had been proved either incompetent or guilty of misconduct. Mr. James—We do not put it upon incompetence. We wish the jury to say if the entries were , made wilfully for the purpose of concealing an error. The Jury said they did not think they were. A verdict was accordingly entered for the plaintiff for the full amount. REVOLTING INHUMANIM TO A FEMALE. Late on Thursday evening Mr. Brent, deputy coroner for West Middlesex, held a painful and lengthened inquiry at the Elephant and Castle, King's-road, Camden town, as to the death of Mary Anne Dudley, aged 38, whose death took place at 21, Little Clarendon-street, Somers Town, under circumstances of the most revolting and horrible character. The body lay in the dead-house of St. Pancr.ls workhouse, where it had been removed immediately' after the death of the deceased on account of itti dreadful state of corruption. On being viewed by the jury the most sickening sight presented itself. Not a feature of the face was discernible, from ulcerated sores which extended from the crown of the head to the soles of the feet, the flesh being completely eaten off portions of the legs, exhibiting. the bare bones. The fingernails were two inches long, and the hands being doubled over, the nails were apparently growing into the wrists. The jury on returning to the inquest room appeared deeply affected with the horrible sight they had lust witnessed. Thomas Steadman, who gave his evidence in a dogged and reluctant manner, said deceased was not his wife, but he had cohabited with her as such, and had known her for 20 years. He had two. children by her, one a gill, between 16 and 17, and another between 8 and 9 years She had had sore legs, and been bedridden for some years. She had had no medical advice for the last three years, she was so very sensitive. All she had was some black salve to put to her sores, which, he believed, her daughter used to get for her at an herb shopin Somers Town. Ho supplied her with all the food he considered necessary when she wanted it ; some times bread and butter, and sometimes steak. She would never eat the steak, but sucked the gravy out of it. She hardly ever seemed to want any food. She could have it when she liked. The Foreman—But did not you feel it your duty towards a woman who had been living with you so many years; as your wife, and by whom you had had children, to see that she had medical advice and food, and was properly attended to ? Witness—Why, she was so sensitive she would not have a doctor, and her daughter attended to her. She objected to be removed to the parish in firmary. I don't see it was my bounden duty to look after her. She was not my wife. Emily Crace, the landlady of the house, said she had no idea the deceased was so bad till within a week of her death. She used to go up and sit and talk with her, The only remark she ever heard deceased make about her legs was that they smarted. She appeared to her to be constantly eating, till her appetite fell off about a week before her death. She considered the man Stead man bad always been a good man to her. Mary Ann Dudley, daughter of deceased, and who also gave her evidence in a flippant and un concerned manner, said the deceased had been bedridden for a long time. She said she would not have a doctor, and they did not give her W e medicine. The deceased ate very little fo sores began in herlegs and got graduallyiri. deceased's face.

The stomach and intestines were perfectly _ empty, and all the organs were much enlarged. By the Coroner—l have no doubt that this woman's death was caused by exhaustion and neglect. She might have survived a long time, and her ulcers might have been cured with care and attention. Had no doubt that the death was accelerated by want of food and neglect. The Coroner said such evidence, if Steadman had been the wo man ' s h us b an d , would have rendered him guilty of manslaughter. The Foreman—Then, although you consider Steadman morally guilty, you think he is not legally so ? Mr. Brent-=That is my opinion; The Foreman and several of the jurors said they differed. They considered that living with this woman for 20 years, as Steadman had done, he was bound to protect her as much as if he had married her. A Juror said he could not have formed so base an opinion of any brute in the creation, as to have believed it could allow its mate to be subjected to • such neglect as it appeared it had been the lot of this poor creature to suffer. oun ced one of their verdict, and unanimously pr_on „ After considerable discussion the jury considered " Manslaughter against the coroner's warrant was forthwith committed on Thomas Steadman, wno and conveyed to Nowgete•
