BADGERED TO DEATH.

The East Middlesex coroner, has held an inquest at the
workhouse, Mile-end Old Town, on George Widow son,
aged 57, a mechanic From the evidence it would seem
that be had • very bad boy. aged 11 years, who although
the father frequently took him to school himself, would,
after reporting himself and getting placed on the school
books, steal out of school. The lad's mother had lately
died. In December last the deceased was summoned
before Mr. Bushhy for not sending his child to school, and
sent to prison for three days, in default of paying • fine.
The conviction so much preyed upon him that he took to
eirlnking and declared that he would "make a hole in the
water " sooner than be again imprisoned. The School
Board inspector notified he the deceased about a fortnight
since that he was about to summon him again. On June
27 the deceased heard that the summons had been applied
for, and went away from home. On the night of the anth
he was seen in the Regent's Canal, and although assistance
was promptly at hand it did not come in time to nave his
life. In answer to the jury, the deceased's daughter said
her father had always been • sober man until this trouble
came upon him, and she was firmly of opinion that he
destroyed himself through fear of being imprisoned again
by the School Board. The jury returned a verdict in
accordance with this opinion.

GUARDIANS OF THE PEACE.

-
At the Birmingham Borough Sessions, Friday, three ex-
members of the Borough police force, named BlandleY.
Wright and Beckett, were indicted for stealing the sum
of 21s. from Thomas Bate„ glass cutter, of Dudley. The
prosecutor stated that on the 13th of April last he was in
Birmingham with a companion, and asked the prisoner
Handley, who was on duty and in uniform, to direct them
to lodgings. Handley took them to the Nag's Head public-
house in Lichlield,treet, and demanded a sailing for his
trouble. The prosecutor, however, refused to pay the
money. Shortly afterwards Handley and Wright came into
the publichouse, and the prosecutor gave them some
liquor. The policemen drank the liquor. and then said
something about kid looney. Later on Beckett arrived,
and the question of bail money was again raised. At
length the policemen forced the prosecutor into the street
and knocked him about and kicked him. They also
it-aggcal his companion nut of bed and ilbused him.
Finally they wrenched 21a. out of the prowcutor's hand
and went away. Many witnesses for the defence gave the
prisoners and excellent character, and it was stated that
one had been in the police force for ten years. The Jury
returned a verdict of "Guilty." Sentence was deferred.

PORTLAND.
SHOCKING SUDDEN DEATH.

About thirteen months ago there returned to Wey-
mouth Mr. W. Galpin, a relation of Messrs. G. and
A. Rolls, leather merchants, of St. Mary-street.
Mr. Galpin had been resicling for nearly 40 years in
the province of Wellington, New Zealand, and had
been very successful there, being in possession of
large estates. Arrangements had been made for his
return to his family in New Zealand, whither also he
was to be accompanied by 3fessra Harold and Alfred
Rolls, and we believe their passages were actually
taken in an outward bound ship which leaves next
Sunday. On Saturday last he went to Messrs. G.
and A. Roll's shop in Wyemouth, and after some
conversation with a workman who thought of going
out to New Zealand, Mr. Galpin stated his intention
to go to Portland, where also he has relations. On
reference they found he um too Late for the train, and
he then said he should walk in. Mr. Frederic Rolls,
Mr. George Rolls son, offered to accompany him,
and they went in, having had a glass of ale each at
the Rodwell Tavern. On the way they stopped
several times, as Mr. Rolls advised Dlr. Galpin not to
hurry, as it was so warm. They arrived about five,
and went on up Fortune's Well without ally refresh.
ment ; but when at the corner of Artists' Row, Mr.
Galpin first reeled, and then became faint; Mr.
Rolla caught and supported him, and Mr. T. Gibbs
and others came. Restoratives were used, but Mr.
Galpin expired in a few minutest just as Dr.
Parsons, who had been sent for, arrived with great
promptitude at the place. The body was removed into
the Prince of Wales, and Dr. Parsons sealed up Mr.
Galpin's purse, which contained a considerable amount
in gold and notes. The inquest was held on Monday
(yesterday) morning, before Mr. R. N. Howard,
coroner, and it being proved that he had before
suffered from heart disease, a verdict of " Death from
syncope" was returned.—Deceased was 11 years of
age; his wife had died before him; but he leaves a
very large tamily of children and grandchildren.

On Friday night Dr. Diplock hell an inquest at the

PHASE OF WELSH LIFE.

Mr. T. F. Evans, inspector of mines, reporting on
metalliferous mines in Wales, states that he finds that in
157.5 (a fair average year), in the sub-district of Festiniog.
35 of the 61 deaths of males above ten years old were
deaths of persona employed at the slate manes, and their
average age at death was below 34 years. Yet this is a
e1.,0 of workmen who receive wages high enough to
secure them every domestic comfort; their habits are
generally temperate; and their leisure "in principally
spent in religious exercises, and the cultivation of litera-
ture and music." How is it that they are cut off at an
age, which to a stranger might suggest either miserable
destitution or habits of irregularity and excess The
dwellings, he says, are overcrowded and I.adly ventilated,
and the sleeping accommodation has been so deficient
that "instance, have been common of the same beds
having been adept in night and day without intenoiaoion
by successive seer pants." The villages in which the
miners live are in a filthy state, and the water used is not
fit for culinary purposes. The invariable result occurs
typhoid and other fevers are always present, and
occasionally break out with extreme virulence. The
wives lack thrift, know nothing of cooking, and spend
much of their husbands' earnings in the purchase of gaudy
finery, for which they are generally in debt. The men.
therefore, fare badly. Their food is almost entirely tea,
coffee, and bread and butter, the butter being commonly
of shucking quality; and their homes are as comfortless
as slovenliness can make them.

charged before the county magistrates, the latter with
assaulting Mr. William Brett, a farmer ir the village, and
the former with aiding and abetting. From the evidence
of Brett, it appeared that on the evening of the ti .13 of
June he was shooting rabliita iin t;row Park Hill. Mr.
jewinr came out of his yard and shouted to Brett, " You
are there again." Brett said he did not intend going
away. Mr. Jenour replied that he would put him off, and
railed to his son, "Stanhope, go into the house awl fetch
the gun and shoot him. The youth fetched the gun,
which he levelled at Mr. Brett and tired. Some of the
shot fell into a patch of nettles upon which witness stood.

A BRISTOL MURDER.

On Friday Edward Legg was brought before one of the
magistrates at Bristol, charged with having wilfully
murdered Thomas Allen. The evidence showed that the
deceased had resided with Legg and his wife for nine or
ten years. At the commencement of the present year
Legg, getting involved in some loan office affair, was
compelled to quit the city. On km return he found that
Allen had during his absence remained with his wife.
This seemed to confirm what he had suspected before
leaving Bristol. that his wife and Allen were on too
familiar terms. He called three times at the house at
which they resided, but they refused to see him. He
went a fourth time, and seeing Allen with a child in his
arms, deliberately thrust a large pocket knife into his
side. Allen died two or three days afterwards. In his
deposition he distinctly denied the allegation of the
prisoner that he had been improperly familiar with Mrs.
Legg. Legg, who was present when the deposition was
made, persisted in his assertion, and would have done
Allen further injury if the police had not held him hack.
The prisoner was now committed for trial at the Bristol
Assizes, which are fixed for the first week in August.

QUESTIONABLE JUSTICE

At the Accrington police court on Thursday, James

A MELANCHOLY CASE.

For some years past Mr. Henry Horne, a nor 'eon, has
lived in West-square. Kennington. He had, li.twever,
latterly had much anxiety about his MO, late a surgeon in
the army being unable to find out what had become of
him, and whether he was alive or dead. A few months
ago he received information that his son died four years
since, leaving his property to a friend. without giving •
thought to his father, and this so grieved Mr. Horne that
he gave way to despondency, and seemed to care little
what became of him. His patients fell off gradually, and
be at length becanie no destitute that a month ago be
!sought assistance from a friend, who gave him what help
be could in the shape of money, and provided him with
a bed, and occasional meals. Mr. Horne seemed utterly
broken in spirit, and although he never expressed any
intention of committing suicide, it was thought that he
might do himself some violence. On Wednesday last be
left home, and a few hours afterward. he was found lying
in Fox•lane, Peckham.rye with his throat cut from ear to
ear, and a razor by his side.

they found Sir Roger in better health than six mouths
aira that they questioned him on several material
points bearing upon his case, and particularly with regard
to the ring which he pledged in Australie, and which Mr.
Onslow has discovered and obtained by payment of 1730.
Sir Roger gave important information concerning it,
Implored them to continue their efforts, and seemed mom

Three accidents occurred here on Tuesday afternoon
while Messrs. Bangers' circus people were parading the
streeta. In peering through • very narrow lane leading to
Hutch, two children who attempted to run in front of the
principal van were crushed between the wall and one of
the wheels, and seriously injured. Another van knocked
down a lamp at the corner of Union-street The trace
attached to • third snapped at an awkward turn, and the
van became unmanagaide. For • time it appeared likely
that the horses would be crushed and the kangaroos set at

RAILWAY.

Mr. Clerk, Q.C., who was for the promoters. said that in
this case there was very little opposition to the preamble
of this bill. The opposition would Mile almost entirely
on clauses. The Greet Western and Bristol and Exeter
Companies had withdrawn all opposition to the preamble.
Mr. Read, the general manager of the Smnerset and
Dorset line, wail then examined. With regard to the peti-
tion of the colliery proprietors, he expressed himself u
unable to understand it since they had an alternative line
open to them. The opposition of the North Somerset was
explained by the fact that they wanted a bridge, which
was common to the two companies, widened at the expense
of the Somerset and Dorset
This being the promoter's case, the cheirmsn, without
clearing the room, announced that they would pass the
preamble of the Bill The opposition to the clauses was
then proceeded with.

THE FRIENDLY socnniEw ACT.

A deputation waited on Tuesday upon the Chancellor
of the Exchequer to unre same amendments in the
Friendly gocieties' Art. Representatives from the Man•
chester Unity of Oddfellows and the Ancient Order of
Forester* complained the Treasury regulations al to
cancelling sad re-rerdatering were very expensive, and
the societies and lodges would not incur the expense.
The compulsory advertking under the Act alone would
coat the two societies about £3,000 each. They were
quite satisfied with regard to the other parts of the Act.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reply, said it was
intended to meet the inconvenience caused by registering
branches as separate societies: but some circumstances
had been overlooked. A bill, however, had been pre-
pared to remedy this, and it would also take away the
onerous restrictions as to proving deaths at sea. It was
very desirable the 11111 should be unopposed, and he
should place the draft of it in their hands in a few days.

BRIDPORT CUOSAL SOCirn.—A concert given by this
society took place in the Templar Hall, Barrack Street, on
Wednesday evening, May 17th. The'pro(msnime consisted
of Handers "Messiah" given by about 88 members of the
society, assisted by Miss Squire, of B.aniinster, (soprano)
Mr. T. W. Hanson (principal tenor, Salisbury Cathedral.)
Mr. H. Cross, R. A. M. (prcipal bass. Salisbury Cathedral)
and in the instrumental part by Mr. Plowman, Yeovil,
double bass. The spacious Hall was quite filled, the
reserved seats being occupied by the elite of the town and
neighbourhood. The solos by Miss Squires, Mrs. Reader,
I' Mr. Harris, and Mr. Cross were all that could he desired,
whilst 'be Choruses wero admirably rendered. The
Orotorio was Kona through without a hitch of any descrip-
tion, and shows that great zeal must have been shown by
the individual members, and the talented Conductor Mr.
W. Stoue. The most effective part was the "Hallelujah "
Chorus rendered in • very masterly manner, the audience
all standing. Miss Squires, an amateur, is exceedingly
good, and in the air "He shall feed his flock " met and
well deserved the applause and encore given to her. We
wish the society every success, and hope that it will not be
long before they will give us another concert, as such a

THE BALHAM MYSTERY.

The Treasury solicitors are acting upon the information
afforded by the detective police by holding a private
inquiry of a searching character. In this inquiry all those
persons who, it is thought, ought to have been examined
at the inquest, as well as those who were, are having their
statements taken relative to the occurrence in the
" Priory" of a month ago. The history of personages
who had any present or past connection with the Priory,
or with those who resided in it, has also been acquired at
the cost ot much labour. In answer to the reward offered
for information as to where the antimony, which caused
the death, was obtained, no information has been received.
Captain Ricardo, we are informed, died in 1871 at
Cologne, and his widow married the late Mr. Bravo on
the 7th of December last. Mrs. Cox, the companion and
housekeeper of Mrs. Bravo, came from Jamaica, and
arrangements, it is reported, had been made for her
return to that island, when Mr. Bravo met his death.
Upon the nature of the Treasury solicitor's -report will
depend whether a full public enquiry shall be granted.

THE LAND OF THE FREE.

A couple of cases which came before the justices of
Yeovil. last week, county and borough, illustrate the
somewhat varied notions which people entertain as to
what • man has the right to do • ith his own and what
he has not. Poor John Childs happens to find his
position in life to be that of • pauper, and he is an
inmate of the Colon. The other day he asked fer "a
day out," which was refused him. Re had the con-
summate audacity to take it, was captured, and
locked up in a pleasant little apartment,, attached to
the workhouse, known as the refractory ward. From
this he escaped, he was again taken, and this time
handed over to the care of the police. As this was
actually the second occasion upon which be had
attempted to take French-leave the " worthy. "
Mayor, Mr. J. Hill, sent him to gaol for six weeks'
hard labour. This ought to have • salutory effect
upon John Childs, but, we are afraid it won't. In
all probability John will think that of the two the
gaol is rather nicer than the union.
Now, if we turn to the ruling of the County justice.'
we find another idea existent owl to the liberty a man
may be allowed to enjoy in pleasing himself. Mr.
Jas. Randall, is a lively blacksmith, hailing from Beat
Coker. Amongst his poeseasims is a wife which he
regards as a domestic anvil and beats accordingly.
The day previous to the case quoted above he was
charged with assaulting her, and this is what she
spoke to:- -
On the 6th of May, between 10 and 11 at night, her hus-
band came home tinsel. Rhe asked him for some MOTAT for
housekeeping, and be then threw • dish at her and went to
bet She soon followed, and when partly undressed he
jumped out of bed and abused and heather with his fist on

stead, struck her on the shoulders and swore he would kill
her. She shouted "murder, and he then went back to
bed and she lay down upon another bed in the same room.
Nis son was in the room at the time but so tipsy that he
knew nothing of what passed, and next morning asked
what was the matter. Harriet Morris, wife of Charles
Morris, living next door, said that the partition between
the houses is very thin. She saw Hendon throw • dish at
his wife last Saturday night after abusing her. She ran
into her house with blood running from her arm, and
walked up and down outside for more than • hour. When
In her bedroom witness heard blows in their room, suid
complainant was crying and groaning and begging barn
not to strike her. Heard prisoner say—" Now the door is
locked no one ran get in, and 111 murder you. He was
Wang very load language and the noise went on till nearly
one o'ciaek. On Sunday she appeared to have been
drewlfully beaten. She was not at all drunk and did net
abuse her husband. Prisoner's defence was that his wife
came home drunk and heroin the row. Bound over in his
own racoons:tare to keep the perwe for six months
The next woman beater will probably receive some-
thing from the poor box, as an encouragement.

THE RETURN OF THE PRINCE

The formal congratulations of the City of London upon
his rate return from India were on Friday presented to the
Prince of Wales. The festivities at Guildhall appear to
have been on a scale fully worthy of the oms. doe, and
both banquet and ball may be looked upon aa in every
way a complete success. The Prior* and Princess were
loudly cheered by the large crowds aamembled on the line
of route, and from all clauses His Royal Highness received
a most cordial welcome. There were also several other
members of the Royal Family present, and the enthusiaam
which prevailed was a sufficient testimony to the unabated
esteem felt for them by tho community at large. The
Prince, who always zombi with the eloquence of common-
sense, expressing himself as being grateful to the Lord
Mayor and his fellow-citizens for the kindly reception
accorded to him, and declared that throughout his long
tour he had been greeted with courtesy and every mani-
festation of good will by the native chiefs and all ranks of
people in India. With a just sense of the magnitude of
our empire in the East, and the impossibility even under
the most advantageous circumstances of forming an
intimate acquaintance with that land of many nations,
the Prince remarked that during his stay there, although
he had travelled 10,000 miles about the country, his know-
ledge wad still limited, and there was much that he had
left unseen and many places of deep interest were unvisited
by him. This Is certainly the true spirit in which to
return from a journey of almost unexampled extent, and
may be accepted as evidence of the sound practical
qualities of the Heir Apparent. His Royal Highness bore
testimony to the excellent condition of the Indian army,
and seems to object to the pessimist views of "croakers.
The state of our nary the Prince think is highly eatiefac-
tory, and as he has had the rare opportunity of seeing " the
Indian squadron, the dying squadron, the Mediterranean
squadron, and the Channel squadron," his Royal High-
ness may be presumed to speak with authority on the
point

REVIEW OF THE OORN TRADE.
More steadiness has prevailed in the grain trade.
supplies of wheat have somewhat fallen off. Foreign

A HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY FOR
DORCHESTER.

A meeting was held on Saturday afternoon at the
Town hall to consider the prospects of establishing a
horticultural society for the county town. The meet-
ing was but small, but it was very sanguine, and we
have not the slightest doubt that under the energetic
influences which have bean imparted into the proposal
it will prove a succor.
The Rev. H. Everett occupied the chair, and there
were also present :—Mr. E. Williams (Herringstose),
General Fraser. Trier, Mr. G. J. Andrews, Mr. A.
Pope, Mr. John Galpin, Dr. Robinson, Mr. Ling,
Mr. Harris. Mr. Mutford, Mr. Cunnington, and Mr.
Osmond.

The proaiedings were naturally of a somewhat con-
versetionary character.
The CHAIRMAN expressed his entire confidence in
the scheme; sad Mr. Cutssteroros proposed that the
society should be known as the " ter Horti-
cultural Society," and the first show held in August.
Mr. A. Pore., the honorary secretaiy(pro. few )read
a letter from Major General Shirley, expreseing his
regret that he was unable to be present, and enclosing
the handsome donation of £5, with his promise to do
everything he could to further the interests of the
Society.
It was decided to ask Mr. Brymer, the Borough
Member, to become the President, and a number of
gentlemen were also named to be requested to act
as patrons, and vice-patrons.
A committee was formed to whom the details of the
arrangements were to be entrusted, the chief of which
will probably be the procuration of a (tillable site.
