CANNIBALISM AT WARRINGTON!.

On Wednesday, at the Warrington County Police Court,
a man named Henry Southall was charged with unlaw-
fully wounding his brother, John SouthalL Roth men
are puddler*, belonging to Staffordshire, and on Saturday
night, when in drink, they quarrelled. The prisoner, who
Is the younger of the two, rushed at his brother, and,
fastening his teeth on the flesh over his eyebrow, literally
bit a piece of the integument out. The landlady of the
house observing this, "choked" the prisoner off his
brother, and as she did so the piece of flesh fell from his
mouth. Not content with the horrible brutality he had
already displayed, he made • second attack, biting his
brother on the lip, shoulder, and skull. In his fall his
hand caught a piece of broken glass, which cut the vein
in his wrist, and but for the timely appearance of the
police there is every probability that the unfortunate
man would have bled to death. lie was taken to Dr.
Wood's surgery, and his wounds dressed, and for some
days his condition was a most precarious one. However,
he is now out of danger. The prisoner was apprehended
in a Held the same night, whither he had gone to
elude the police. It. was sent to the quarter sessions for
trial.

A HEW).

William Turner llllmplirey, otherwise known as George
Lee, one of those many heroes in bowfin life whom
emergencies bring to the surface now as frequently as in
stormier times, was hurled ems Thursday with something
like public honours. The brave fellow had born a lire-
escape man, and in that capacity had performed one of
those deeds of devoted and self-secrificing gallantry for
which his eorpii has long been celebrated, but which lose
nothing in splendour of merit, however frequent the repe-
tition. Lee lost his life in trying to save some of the
victims at the fire in St. John-street., Clerkenwell, on the
night of the 25th July last He appears to have ascertained
that one or two persons had been left behind in the upper
room of the house, and were in danger of perishing
through sheer forgetfulness, whereupon he hastened to
their rescue. He groped his way, said Captain Shaw,
through volumes of smoke and flame, and found a woman
lying apparently insensible, whom he had to carry to the
escape. Half suffocated, however he fell. but again and
again tried, falling, it was supposed, seven or eight times,
until at length he inst managed to push her over into the
wirework of the escape, and then got out himself. She
died, and his iniuries were so severe as to bring on lock-
jaw, under which he succumbed at St Bartholomew's
Hospital a few days agn lie was • first-class officer, testi-
fied Capt. Shaw, whoadded that in hlswide experience he
had never known • case of greater bravery and more heroic
conduct. The Coroner in his summing lip captained the
pride he felt in paying his "tribute of praise to io noble
and brave a man," whose intrepidity WM greater than
that shown on the battle-field, where men fought for their
own lives, not to save the lives of others. This was
George Lee's funeral oration, and he could hardly have
had • better, while the manly honiage rendered to his
career by Captain Shaw did equal honour to the heart of
the loader sad to the memory of the gallant follower.
Thursday the remains oft this martyr to duty and to the
claims of humanity were consigned to the earth with the
accompaniments of reverence they rightly claimed. We
rejoice to think that the race of such hams is far from
extinct. and that the huorbhist ranks of life produce the
generous extinct. and the feeling hearts, as well as the
Mehreet arms, which render such deeds possible, and
merely even rare. It 'oust also he admitted that Lee
required no inducement, honorary or pecuniary, to make
him face any conocivable risk to save life. Yet, auraly, ii
ii time some public recognitim should hs given to such
merits and devotion. Is • soldier who carries his Aim

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE.

The course of the wheat trade has not altered
during the week. There is no inducement to make
speculative purchases, therefore the demand has been
reeirenliyivon.ef aorhrd-nton-mmionuatihinchvnatectxt 041(111 brain has
New samples have been rather more plentiful, the
weight varying from fi2 to 61 lb.. per bushel, and the
condition keeping very fine.
The price obtained has been about sfla per quarter:
shortly this quotation must be reduced. There is
nothin whatever to support speculation for a rise.
Hostilitiesg in Eastern Europe will, probably, soon be
brought to a close, and the further destruction of the
crops stayed ,• thus far the expectation of greater
political complications in East. -n Europe haa been the
only circumstance upon which advocates of an advance
have based their anticipations.
With the removal of this circumstance, the value of
wheat remains to be influenced solely by the extent
of the demand and the abundance or scarcity of the
samples. It is more than evident that no scarcity
can be apprehendeiL Spring c lin dull and drooping.

SUCCESSFUL ELOPEMENT.

A few days ago the wife of a publican, named Beldam,
eloped from Blenisham, Hampshire, with a cattle sales-
man, named John Archer. The latter is a married man
with four children, and on the day be disappeared he had
been entrusted with the sale of a large number of sheep
by various farmers in the neighbourhood. The woman
also appopriated a considerable sum of money belonging
to her husband, and took away with her the whole of her
wardrobe. Hearing of the affair, and detertninod not to
be fleeced, one old fanner traced the pair to Liverpool,
and came upon them near the docks. Ili/ threat to give
Archer into custody had the effect of making Mrs. Beldam
open her purse in the interest of her new love, and the
determined farmer went away well satisfied with the
proceeds of the sale of his V fat sheep. The two then
hastened to one of the Cunard steamers, and had sailed
for New York before the police had time to prevent their
departure.

A PROPER SENTENCE.

At the Central Criminal Court on Thursday. William
Leonard, a brushmaker, was indicted before Mr. Com-
missioner Kerr, for robbery with violence on Miss Sarah
Ethel Barber. Mr. de Michele prosecuted. It appeared
from the evidence of Miss Barber that in broad daylight,
between three and four in the afternoon of the 9th of
June, she was walking along Duke-street, Lincoln'sinn-
fields, when she suddenly received a violent blow in the
chest from a man who rushed upon her. Her watch and
chain, a locket, and pendant cross were torn from her
dress, her umbrella was broken, and she was almost
stunned by the blow recovering • few seconds after, she
gave an alartu, and several of the bystanders gave chase,
but the man was finally lost in Orange.court, a place which
one of the witnesses described as so unsafe that if he had
followed the prisoner into it he should not have come out
alive. The lady was unable, inconsequence of her injuries,
to identify the prisoner, but different persons who saw
him running up to the time he disappeared up Orange-
court spoke positively to him. The jury convicted him,
and Detective Hines, of the E Division, stated that besides
several previous convictions, the prisoner in lfl7o had been
sentenced to penal servitude and 25 lashes of the cat for
a similar offence. Mr. Commissioner Kerr remarked, in
passing sentence, that this was the first case in his
experience where a flogging had not acted as • deterrent
to the commission of a further crime of violence by the
same person, and he sentenced the prisoner to penal servi-
tude for ten years, previously to which sentence he would
be twice flogged with 21) lashes, an interval of • month to
elapse between each flogging.

THE BAD LANGUAGE AT CAMP.
To the Miter.

Sir, I was astonished to read in the Doily News of
yesterday's date that an " outrage" had been perpe-
trated on a lady (an officer's wife) by eertain members
of the Dorset Battalion. This I beg 'mat distinctly
to deny, and can only imagine the report was taken
from the fact that some volunteers addressed lady
who was passing in language not in accordance with
what one might expect from members of a volunteer
regiment. That stub exaggerated report., should be
made and a slur thus cast on a battalion which his
always justly hell a high name forefficiency,
and good conduct is exceedingly unfair, and I beg
you will give it an unqualified contradiction.

WEYMOUTH.
AN OFFICER KILLED.

About eleven "n Saturday night, an accident
occurred between the Gloucester Hotel and the King's
Statue, moiltingin the death of Lieutenant Hamilton,
C'. Seville, of the 314 regiment, Mr. Hardy's break
was going to Portland with paasengers, among them
being Captain Lambert, Lieutenant Morant, of the
31st and his brother, also Lieutenant Be'villa,
the last being seated at the side of the box.
As the party was but small, and there were
three horses on the break, Mr. Hardy got down to
take off the leader. Lieutenant Seville moved from
his own seat to take Mr. Hardy's seat on the box, and
whether it was that the horses jerked the reins held
by the lieutenant, or that the latter overbalanced
himself, certain it is that Mr. Seville fell to the
ground. He was taken to Dr. Ilhodes's, and such
attention as could be rendered was given by the
doctor; hut the unfortunate officer had fractured his
skull, Alld died about one o'clock. On Sunday night
the IN sly was removed to the Weymouth Barracks
to await the inquest.

FAST LIFE ON BOARD SHIP.

At • special !fleeting of the Sunderland Local Marine
Board, William Stoddart, late master of the Skerryvore,
Sunderland, was charged with drunkenness, neglect of
duty, and gloss misconduct. Defendant did not answer
the charge, and • shipping-office messenger said he and
his family had sailed for America.--John Sanderson,
managingowner of the Skerryvore, said the vessel sailed
from Sunderland for the Mauritius, in April, lB' l, with
coals. The captain had orders to re-charter for the
United Kingdom, but instead of doing PO he went to
Melbourne and other places, the total freight of the
voyage the owner estimated at £3,200, but he only re-
ceived a remittance of LTA. Several letters from brokers
at Melbourne were read, in which the write ns complained
of the "dissipated" conduct of the captain, and gave
particulars of heavy expenditure incurred by the vessel
Captain Stoddart, it was stated, was absent for days and
nights from the ship. lie was frequently intoxicated,
and in the company of disreputable women. Witnesses
were called who proved that defendant was often drunk,
and on several occasions he had woolen on board the ship
for days together. When one of the women loft the ship
at Newcastle, New South Wales. he went with her as
far as Sydney. While drunk at l'edang he capsized the
boat by throwing potatoes at monkies. A letter was put
In from the captain, in which he denied the charges
in fem. The Board unanimously agreed to cancel his
certificate.

THE MII.H:DERER.

Thursday w;s“su.-pp;;;;t:c.f 1:O-17;11v-e- Iht clay on which any
of the friends or relatives of William Fish would be per-
mitted to visit the culprit; and the morbid curiosity that
seems to seize certain portions of the lower orders of
society to see any one in any way connected with a man
condemned to die the death of a felon, found vent on
Thursday morning, when about a hundred people
assembled near the lodge entrance to Kirkdale Gaol, in
anticipation of seeingaiart of the condemned man's
friends. The crowd to congregate shortly after
eleven, and about noon t soon became known that the
wife of Fish, with two of her children, his mother, uncle.
sister, and brother.imlaw, were going to visit the
condemned man. Mrs. Fish and her children were dressed
in deep mourning; and fiN the unhappy woman passed
turough the crowd, she seemed deeply affected. The
other members of the party, however, showed no signs of
feeling, and they all paased into the gaol together. The
news seemed to spread like wildfire that Fish's relatives
were in the prison; and in less than a quarter of an hour
after they entered the gaol the crowd had increased to
between 500 and 600. The interview between Fish and
his wife MU at first of • very painful character' but the
calm and resigned manner in which he seems to regard
his coming fate somewhat reconciled Mrs. Fish, and she
bid her husband a last farewell in a more composed
manner than was at first expected. The little children,
as may have been supposed, did not seem to understand
what was going on, and viewed the whole proceedings
without m O ucern. n the parties returning to the lodge,
the warders deemed it prudent to protect the unfortunate
woman, her children and friends from the idle curiosity
of the mob aerating their return, and they were let out of
the prime through another entrance near the chaplain's
ben" and so escaped detection.

FIGHTING INDIANS.

The preparations which are being niade by the United
States Government to punish the Sioux Indiana have
shown in a striking wanner the difficulties which have to
he encountered in dashes with the savages in the Western
district of the Union. The regular army of the United
States numbers fur all practical purposes only 21,000
men, and these are so scattered in the various States that
even now • sufficient force has not been got together to
avenge the destruction of Custer's command. And yet
there are only 2,ffile Sioux to be dealt with, and they are
not so many miles distant from the frontier forts in
Montana. But the country in which they are located is
adapted for desultory warfare, and it would be impossible
to attack them with any chance of unman unless a force
of nearly double their number is directed against them.
The extraordinary spectacle, therefore, is witnessed of
between four and live thousand troops, armed with the
most approved weapons and officered by men of great
ability, moving upon half that number of savages,
unskilled in the art of war, and having no discipline
worthy of the name. General Sherman is apparently
fully aware of the difficulty of ids task, and he has not
hesitated to employ Indian allies in the shape of tribes
who are hereditary enemies of the Sioux. The whole
difficulty has arisen from the treachery with which the
Indians have been treated in the matter of reservations,
and it may be many months before the savages will have
been again taught that they must submit, under all
circumstances, to whatever terms may be offered them.
The end may be declared, but the result will inevitably be
favourable to the white men, who are determined to
wrest the rich country of the Black hills from the Sioux,
at all casts. It is the old story of the advance of civilisa-
tion, but in this caw the progress of the settler will be
marked by a contest of the most sanguinary kind.

A DEAF JURYMAN

At the Central Criminal Court, on Tuesday, when the
jury were about to be sworn after the adjournment of
the court, attention was called to the interesting fact that
one of them was stone deaf, and had not heard any evi.
dence in three cases disposed of. lie wrote down the
verdict, it was stated, in each case. Ile had claimed
exemption in the adjoining court on account of his
deafness, but, of course, a private affliction could not be
admitted as an excuse for the non-performanceof a public
duty, and his application was not entertained. Mr.
Commissioner Kerr, however, considerately allowed a
fresh juryman, to be sworn, an.l to take the place of the
deaf juryman, at the same time observing that had it not
happened that all the prisoners who had been tried by the
jury of whom the deaf juryman had formed one had been
acquitted, he should have directed them to be retried. In
the meantime, it is a question whether deaf juries, and
indeed dumb lawyers, would not be an advantage rather
than otherwise.

THROWING A. MAN INTO THE
_RIVER.

John Mame, • hawker, was charged with assaulting
Robert Stovey.—Mr. Storey, who is • gentleman not
unknown to public fame, stated that on Saturday he was
sitting on Swan-bridge (at the botton of High East-street)
when the defendant went across to him and began "cues-
lug" at him, accused him of havirg robbed him, told him
he was no man, and finally concluded by catching hold of
his leg, giving him one in Use stomach, and sending him
over the bridge into the water. The depth of the water
was about 18 inches. When he got out of Use river the
defendant had gone. Ile was cut about his face (his nose
bore testimony to it) and scraped about the legs by his
fall. The drop was nine foot. —Defendant in imply said
he was going to give the man in custody for an attempted
robbery and assault on the highway, but he could not find
• policeman. Storey tried tie strike him, and then he
pushed him, and he believed he fell over for the purpose of
getting out of the other charge.—A young fellow named
Douglas Ayres was present and said he saw Phillips go up
to Storey and pointing to his eve (defendant had • black
one) said "You KO this, I shall take out a warrant for
you for assault and attempted robbery on the highway."
Stover replied "You have not paid me the 2s. for yester-
day's work yet." Phillips called him a lisx. At that time
he was lighting his pipe and Stovey said to him "Give us
• light." Phillips refused and said he would sell his shirt
off his back and his wheel off his cart rather than not
have it out. Then he told him he was no man for a light

A SERIOUS CHARGE„

Wall°. Marsh, a journeyman tailor, and Charlta
Gillk'a.il were charged on remand with stealing
timber, the_property of Mr. Crocker, of the Dolphin
Inn.—Mr. Burnett prosecuted; Mr. Weston defended.
—After the depositions made at the preliminary
hearing had been read over the witneses were cross-
examined by Mr. Weston. -James Barnwell was
severely cross-examined as to the identity of the
wood, but afterwards a piece was produced which had
come from Shepard's yard, and the question Was at
once settled.—P.C. Reyland deposed that he had
brought the second piece, which exactly corresponded
with the hdece taken from Shepard's yard. He was
perfectly sure Foot placed it close to Marsh's door-
way. He did not hear Foot say that Marsh knew
nothing about it, and on his taking it up had told him
to leave it alone. He saw Marsh some two or three
hours after, and lie asked him to *ay nothing about it,
as he would make it right with him and Dan Shepard,
as the wood belonged to Shepard. Foot said he had
picked it up in the river, but Marsh said, "No lie
didn't; I'll tell you the truth," and then he told him
where he got it. Marsh's words he would swear were
not "I shouldn't do anything in it U I were you, for
Foot most likely will make it right with Shepard."—
Mr. William Crocker, of the Dolphin Inn, and a
cooper, stated that he, some three or four
weeks ago, carried for the witness Barnwell two
pieces of timber to Mr. Shepard's aavrpit. On
Monday he went to the police-station, and there
he saw five pieces of timber, two of which he identified
an slabs made from the timber he had carried to Mr.
Shepard's. lie SSW Marsh on Bank Holiday at
Abbotsbury, and he then asked him if he knew what
had happened, and he told him lie had—he heard it
from Mr. SheparL Marsh said he would rather have
lost £5 than it should have happened, and he hoped
he would look it over. Witness told him be did not
wish to hurt him, but the police had it in their hands,
and he must see • certain person when he Callla home
and hear about it.—Cross-examined Mr. Crocker said
he could not say he would have carried on the prow.
cution but for the police; he did not wi.ll to injure
the prisoners more than he could help, and would
recommend them to mercy.—Mr. Shepard spoke to
the identity of the timber; lie had never, he said,
authorised its removal by anyone. -Prisoners were
then committed for trial at the Sessions, and Mr.
Weston applied for bail for Marsh. Two neighbours
of Marsh's, named Scott and Elliott, were bound for
his appearance; Foot remained in custody.

A LOs MOIALLR-IN•Ltw

Thema.; and Agnes Cowan' were summoned for assault-
ing their daughter-in-law, Julia Coward, at Poole, on the
fith of June—The complainant's evidence was corroborated
by her sister, Mrs.
O Beatable, and in part by the
defendant's own little girl. n Tuesday evening com-
plainant went to defendant's house in Mill-lane, and her
mother-in-law welcomed her with curses and oaths, and
threw the water her husband had washed in over her, as
well as some potato rinds and cabbage, or lettuce leaves.
Complainant also alleged that the female defendant threw
• pan-shard through the window at her, and that her
f ather-in -law slapped her in the face. —The woman admitted
throwing the suds and the man pushing complainant out
of the house, but they both denied the remainder of the
evidence. The female defendant attempted to show that
she was a model mother-in-law, and mentioned as • proof
of this the fact that on the day of the assault she had
been out hard at work all day washing, and in the evening
spent the whole of her earnings "on dear Bliss," and they
had both taken 'a drop too much."—The Bench inflicted
a fine of Is. and the costs on each defendant, and allowed
them till Saturday for payment.

Mrs. Mary Garland for violently assaulting his own son,
%Villians Wells, at Poole, on the Eith and 6th of June —The

and on one occasion after he had beaten him the little
fellow ran away from home. And after an absence of
nine ilayshe was found in the Dorchester Union. On the
boy's return defendant promised to treat bun butter in the
future, but it seems he has not done ISO, for on Monday
evening, during his wife's absence at Bridport, he beat the
boy in the face with his fists, and sent him to bed with his
flolle bleeding. The following evening Mrs. Norman,
neighbour saw through the window that defendant was
ill-using the boy again, and told Mrs. Garland, who went
into the room and found defendant pinning his son to the
ground by the throat with both his hands.—ln answer to
the charge defendant admitted that he hail his son on the

In the suit in Chancery taken by the Benchers of f tray's
Inn against Dr. Kenealy for the continual occupation of
his chambers, after being debarred and disbenched, time
to reply to the answer, statement, and claim of [Sr.
Kenealy having been given by Vice-Chancellor Hall, the
answer of the benehers will be filed on or before Saturday

In the meantime the friends of the member for Stoke
have started a "Kenealy Defence Fund," its object being
'to guard Dr. Kenealy against the designs of his enemies
and persecutors of Gray's Inn." The people are told that
"the persistent malignity of Gray's Inn against Dr.
Kenealy and their avowed intention to ruin him with law
costs and damages require to be met by the people." The
'touchers on the one hand ask damages for Hui detention

BLANDFORD.

AT the meeting of the Board of Guardian, on Wedner
day.the Rev. Prebendary Farquharson in the chair, a letter
was read in which the Local Government Board (as we an-
n ~,,, iced last week) sanctioned the alteration of the day of
Sleeting back to Saturday, in accordance with the wish of
the majority of the Guardians. The next meeting will
consequently ho held on Saturday week. Most of the
Wednesday men were conspicuous by their absence, and
there was no interchange of courtesies between the two
parties.
Town Councib llgrrino, Tuesday. This was the
quarterly niceting, and was attended by the Mayor (Mr.
F:. Fisher), and nearly all the members of the Council.
—There was very little business. —The estimates of
expenditure for the coming quarter were passed and
signed. -A memorial to the Horne Secretary praying for
the extension of the Isirough boundaries, was unani-
mously adopted, and ordered to be engrossed and sent to
Mr. Cross.--Mr. Atkinson explained that the extension of
the boundaries and adoption of the county police, would
effect a great saving to the ratepayers, and the borough
magistrates, would, moreover, have as much authority
over the county police within the borough as they lissi
over their present police.
LOCAL Ito ow MElCrui,i, Tuesday.—This was a special
nicotine of the Board, and was attended by the Chairman
(Mr. H. Denten), and twelve members—Two tenders
only had been received for the painting and repairing of
the lamps, lamp-posts, viz, Mr. Stickland, £24, and
Mr. Elgar, 1:13 Is. 6.l.—The latter tradesman's tender was
accepted, tieing the lowest, and about the same amount
WI was paid for the Mime work on the last occasion.—Mr.
Hart, who is converting a barn into cottages, WAS ordered
to build an interior wall to separate them.--A storage in
the Crown and Anchor yard Was accepted for the public
lamps, at a rent of 154.—.1 .iiiantity of paving stone was
ordered at Pti. a foot, being a f .rthing increase on the
previous price.—A complaint was made against Mr. W.
It. Green that he bad not carried out certain alterations
in the drainage, well, and water-closets on his premiaes,
AS lie had been repeatedly ordered to .10. Mr. Green had
promised the alterations should he made, but they had
not been commenced. —A member of twelve years' stand-
ing remarked that during that period the Board had
spent days, or even weeks, of their time in considering
complaints made respecting Mr. Green's property.—Other
members agreed with this, and the work is to be carried
out at once by the Board.
