flannel Comb&lluck, a married woman. who bed Ima
12 rladdren, eight of whom were li•ing, was charged on
Fr day with having attempted to commit suicide, by
throwing hermit into the river Avon. The poor creature
stated that she had been recently Cone MO, and had no
fond for four days. fitt• had walked from Bath, 12 miles,
with her baby ..fly four week. old. Toe husband, a
miller, out of employment, said that he was entirely
destitute, and was coinpelled to travel about to look for
work lie had no food to give his wife, and soe became
eery deapindent After arriving in Beistul ahe suddenly
attempted to jump into the ricer. Be objected to go
Into Um workhouse, lb* husband and wife were sent to
the relieviag

an those other people upon whose loads time haws
heavy, and who, consequently, are apt to three
themselves into the affairs of their Neighbours. Nor
I. this all for, is our judgment. Miss Watford's want
of discretion is aggravated by the petty Jealousies' in
which she clearly allowed herself to take • prominent
part. In places like Tunbridge Wells, Bath. and
Cheltenham, where there are. if we may say ON a
number of old ladies an I gentlemen who hive not too
much to do, • laudable interest is taken in ecclesiasti-
cal matter., which is, unfortunately, apt to degenerate
into petty dloputstioa. Mr. Lewis is, es WO have
said, a stmewhst pronounced High Churchman. He
also, apparently, what is known as a ladies' man—b.
is, that is to say, an eloquent pre Leber and an active
organiser of mothers' meetings, norcas oboists's, and
other such benevolent institutions. All this is. no
doubt, • legitimate portion of the work of a parish
clergyman; but it is work in the discharge of which
he will do well to bear in mind that • clergyman most
be, like Cesar's wife, above suspicion. Had Mr.
Lewis been older than he is, and had be known some-
what more of the world than he does, it would have
been impossibie for the stones told to his discredit to
have been even invented, much lees believed. He
may be congratulated on having satisfactorily
vindicated his character., audit is to be hoped that for
the sake of all concerned, we have heard the last of
this painful Ogee of Pails history.
