of that place. The chid witness examined on 'doss-
day waa Jane White, who has bad a twelve months'

She deposed that since the Limon commissioners put
their beads into the house, to the indignation of the
public and disgust of the guardians, there bad been a
general white-washing of the interior of the building.
Wore than this, however, there appears to have been no
Mange made for the better. One bar of soap per week,
she stated, win all that the master allowed for some
eighty persons, and at the end of some weeks they
were one, two, and three days entirely without soap,"
the consequence being that the sick people got very
dirty." In the lock ward, whisk was generally occupied
by twenty-portions, only two towels were provided for
the same period. She had two sasistant nurses, one
male and one female ; but 114 the later wise over 74 years
of age she was of little use. These had no particular
ward to intend to, and "say patient dying in one of
the wards would have to go toe bellspall which is in •

farther shown that not the worst practice in the work-
house is the looking up of male and female tramps all
night without food of say kind, and the witness spoke '
to the great hardships having been incurred it various
times by female vagrants Irons this being done. She

When the burying-ground was reached at Mellinger,
the coffin wan carried around it, according to the custom
of the locality, while two young men repeated the "De

which hitherto had been somewhat suppressed, now
becune lousier and more pasionate, and the unhappy
mother, who appeared half trailed with sorrow,
expremed repeated wishes to gas once more upon the
fan., of her dead s n. By this time night had come on,
and a dense fog hid the faint light of the moon. A
few matches were lit and the lid of the coffin was with
some difficulty raised. Then were revealed the ghastly
eyes but half closed, and the body covered with a white
sheet, so much in contrast with the darkoas around.
Immediately the friends of the dead rushed to his
coffin, kis., d his lips closed for ever, and called him by

pelled. She then by some means got the testimonials
which led to her engagement on the Great Western
Railway. She seems from her early youth to have had
a Predilection for male attire, and has filled men's situ-
ationa of venous kinds. It is said that she was at one
time porter at Jesus College, Cambridge ; another •

RZLII•1I1 OF THIN COWITICTID FZIGAN MAGOIIL —nn
Wednesday morning Maguire received an uneooditioal
pardon, and was liberated. The result of careful in.
guilders (says the Dad., Telegraph), made by direction
of the Home Secretary satisfied him, we believe, that,
beyond the feet of Maguire's having actually bees In
Menehater at the time of the assault, and the saident
of his auspioietudy Mileaian surname, tare are really
no grounds for charging the nian with participation in
the affair. The truth of his alibi is, in short, admitted ;
and the worthy private in her Majesty's Marines walks
out of prison with no taint of complisity in the deed of
horror which has been the theme of en much discumion.
Maguire has written a letter to a Manchester paper,
In which he says:—" Since I was released this morning,
I have been surrounded wherever I went • with scones of
people shakinglands with me, and all so glad to see me
set at liberty, that I have sot • minute scarcely to my-
self, and feel no much racial now menet to know hardly
what lam doing. But lam MO wishful to thank from
my fall heart all the editors of papers and the gentle-
men that got up the petitioo for me, and everybody
that signed it or took any part in getting my pardon;
may God bless and reward them all, will always be my
or. Since I was taken up I have preyed hourly to
God to clear up my innocence, and thought it was bard
to be charged with the °rime I was, after serving my
Queen and country faithfully between thirteen and
fourteen years; and the Almighty answered my prayers.
I have only one thing more to wish for, and that is that
I may be allowed to return to bead-querters, and serve
my time out Is the Royal Marines. I
thing to disgrace the service, but was proud to belong to
It, and hope my discharge, which oome to moon Sunday,
will sot be enforced, as I shall lose thirteen years and
147 days' service lilt is,"
