WHICH IS RIGHT

" We live In ruch an atom-sphere of falsehood, that It is
dim mit to arrive at a certainty of truth," writes a correspaii-
dent, " Both belligerents are eqnally resolved, in the fa, of
facts, to deny the possibility of defeat, and it becomes the
hard task of Cad chronicler of events to sinks a balance be

referring to the same events. One of them bean the algae-
tile. of General Elides, and announces that 'the army of
Versailles has been &hosted between CO dllion and Clamart,

Joertati WM of Versailles, declares that the insurgents
tirad all night from Vaines upon Ct 111105, and succeeded In
killing one mem—Apr.llls.' Whatever the positive re suite
may be, there Ls certainly no doubt as to the noise, Night
end day the thunder of artillery continues, and the only won-
der is as to how long the supply of powder will last. 3he
advent of darkness Is a sure signal for an atiack upon the
Southern Forts, which continues, with more or less Intensity,

IN A DIFFICULT POSITION

On Monday, a respectably-dressed young woman,
carrying a line and healthy-looking female infant in
her arms, applied for advice to the magistra'e at the
Greenwich poli :e-court, under the following circum-
stance :

The applicant stated that eight months ego a young woman
brought the child to her. Baying that her husband bad left
her and gone to America, and as she was thus compelled
to go to service, she wished to place the chill oat to
nurse. An agreement was entered into, the mother
giving express Instructions that the child was not to be
given up to any one but hersel,. No money had been
paid, nor had the mother liege been icon by her, but on
Good Friday last, and again on the previone evening,
an elderly man called for the child and took It out of her
arms, but she regained it. She did not know who the
man was, but he stated he was about leaving for
America on Wednesday. She and her husband having no
family of their own, and bailer; become fondly attached to
the child, which w as lea very poor and dirty condition when
brought to litem, were anxious that the child should be re-
stored to tho mother and not to a man of whom nothing was
known, or they were willing t keep the child and adopt it
as their own ; the husband of the applicant, who was stand-
/oOn court, remarking that he weuld prefer losing L.',o to
parting with the Inf.:.

The magistrate told the applicant that in taking a
child to nurse from an unknown person she had placed
herself in a very awkward poaition. Re could give
her no advice in the matter, and although it would be
very hard that, after bringing up the child for eight
months without payment, it should be taken away and
the cost of such core and maintenance lost, he might
remork that no lien could legally be placed upon a
child for • debt incurred under such circumstances, and
the applicant and her husband must use their own
judgment.

EX PARTE ROBERTS V. WILSON.

In the Court of Quet n'a Bench, an application for a
criminal information wan made ty Mr. Powell, Q.C.,
en lkhalf of Mr. Henry Minces, a member ot the
Town Council of Bewdley, for a rule calling upon Mr.
Themes Wilson, seeisman, Shiptcn-oneStour, to show
cause why a criminal information should cot be filed
apaiunt him for a grois and enel:cions hbnl. The parties
were foimerly friends. At the cud of last year Mr.
Roberts was engaged to be married to a young lady
nami cl Badger, the daughter of a retired tra iceman,
and, mu was unnal, they frequently walked out togethi r
Mrs. B idger, ti r moth,r of the yourg lady. raceived
an inetonymous letter, doted 28th December, 1870, and
bearing the poet mark of Shiptinidon.Stour, and was
ina filowe:—

fly dear Ann,—lf not too late, for God'. cake este your
chili from the deAToy,,r. You know cot his charto,tar, or
you would t hud,l or at the thought of poor i'dly'. fee. Take
warning trait be too into. Woe! woe to your IP-fated—eh,
and IF-mated—child. Grief and trouble will be your lot.
Save her ere It be too lee —From one who knows his history.
-

The letter was then handed to Mr. Roberta, and in-
fpfrie4 were made to ascertain the writer, when Mm.
Bearer releived the ("Lowing letter in the defendant's
handwriting, and signed by him:— -

February, 6, 1871.
030? Madam,-1 moat humbly apologise for the seri.ms
, offence !have committed in an unguarded moment by sending
~to you the anenymeus letter, which I most deeply regret,
and earnestly beg the forgiveness of yourself, Albs lisdger,
and Mr. Roberta for the gracious wrong that I have done.
. I cannot poslibly tell what could hove p ,esersed me to have
done such a foul deed, which my life can't atone for. I
would willingly make every reparation in my power for such
AP a`mminable action, nod earnestly eolfcit your kind inter-
vention to prevent legal proceedings, which would entirely
! ruin me ; which I ask, not for myself, hut fr my wife and
Children. Already my punishment intsindeed, been neverefrom
my extreme folly. Pray forgive n.e. I have known Mr Roberts
slnce childhood, but never had reason to think otherwl.e but
h•monrable of him and Silas B alger. I cannot describe my
feetirga and atucure regret for the Injury that tt must have
cursed.

Mr. Juetice Blackburn said atonement had been
male for the libel, and it did not appecr to be a mese
for a criminal information. The applicant had his
remedy by indictment.
Mr. Powell said the letter of apology was not con-
sidered to be one of genuine contrition, but had been
written merely to prevent legal proceedings. The
letter had not bad the effect of breaking off the match,
for the parties were married ma the I.h February last.
Mr. Justice Blackburn said no doubt the anonymous
letter was a malignant, malicious, and wicked libel,
but atonement appeared to have teen made for it. It
has not, practically, done much harm. Under the cir-
cumitauces, the learned counsel might have a rule.
Rule granted.

CRUELTY TO CATTLE.

At the Shirehall, lberchester, en Saturday, Mr.
Wdltem Manfisli, one of the largest gentlemen
farmers of Dorset, was charged with starving his
cattle on the Portisham and Burton estates. The case,
which occupied seven hours in hearing, created much
interest from the position held by the defendant. Mr.
(Adam prosecuted on behalf of the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals; and Mr.
Andrews, of Dorchester, defended.
Henry Tayler, one of the society's officers, said on
the 29. h of March, accompanied by Superintendent
Hare, of Dorchester, he visited the defendant's farm
at Portisham, where he saw 40 or 50 head of cattle,
very poor and weak, many of them being tenable to
walk. They looked dejected and miserable. In a
meadow adjoining the f several cows were lying
down in a beloless condition, while in the farmyard
were several others reduced to skin and tone, and also
unable to rise. An old horse, which was scarcely any-
thing but skin sod bone, was trying to eat out of a
manger some chopped straw. This evidence IVJA con-
firmed by Mr. Arthur Cherry, veterinary surgeon
under Government, who said he found no tr .ces of
disease in the animals, which were in a "deplorable
and miserable condition," suffering from the deprivation
of sufficient nutriment. A sample of the " food "
found in a manger was produced in cJurt, and witnees
said it was unfit for use. It was a mixture of straw,
chaff, fuezo, sod mustard sticks.

Mr. Flemming, F.R.G.S., and author of several
medical works, said he had examined the aniinall, and
come to the conclusion that they were suffering from
starvation. Sorce of them were "almost livirg
skeletons." It was al.-o shown that at the time of the
inspector's visit there was an entire absence of artificial
food or herbage of any description.

Mr. Andrews set up the defence that the sewn had
been so bad that proper food cc.uld not be found for the
animals. This, however, broke down, and the Bench
fin,d the defendant tIS odd, including costs.

MR. GOSCHEN'S LOCAL REFORM
BILLS.

The London CAreipecieut of the Manchester Guardian
wrhee:—

The first impression, wh'cla was favourabie to Mr.
Goschen'a plan for loss,' government reform, shows
symptoms of rapidly Cidieg away. The plan of the
parr chial board for fiscal purposes meets with 'tile
improval from practical men, and the largo increase
of Government patrouaie which the constitution of
the new department of State would, it is feared,
reopire, does not rs cammend the scheme in the eyes
of economists. The other bill introduced si,ul-
- szieunsly by the new Exit Lord is not likely to prove
more acceptable. The cone:l3B.on of the house tax is
real!), in the main the cffer of a sop to London, by
whose ratepayers more that one half of the £1,100,000
is p lid. All Mimes under £2O a pear are exempted as
the Act now stands, but those who would be relieved
from this direct contribution being chiefly of
the chuises that are Fable to income tar, it
will not be easy to persuade them that they will not be
called on by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to pay
another penny in the pound in order to make up the
deficiency caused by the transfer ; and their experience
of the rate at which local taxation imposed by statute
has gone on increasing of recent years renders thorn
incredulous as to any practical abatement of local
burdens in coneequence of this slice of Imporial
revenue being out into mincemeat for parochial use. It
is said, however, that upon the iecenit reading—when-
ever that may be—Covet-orient would accept a pro-
position to refer loth bills to a Select Committee, with
the view of eliciting parliamentary criticism in detail,
and enabling Mr. Stansfeld, with better effect, to re-
introduce the bills next session.

NICE SORT OF PATRIOTS

"Paris le In a wretched state ; turn where you will, you
diecover traces of the drunken saturnalia with which it Is at
present dligraced. Yesterday I dropped Into the Place
Veudome, where stands the Column which the Commune has
decreed shall come down. Lying on the pavement were
Notional Guards in various states of drunkeeness, from the
sleepy dead to the noise patriotic. There were vivandb?rce,
and bottles and glasses on tables formed with shutters or
doors taken Irons the neighbouring houses, all of which were
closed. Barricades, frowning cannon, Intoxicated Com-
munists, plenty of wine, innumerable loaves, and hunks of
fat sated pork —there you have the mistocratie Place
Vendome. As for the National Guards, they have been
on duty for a week. They have slept anywhere, on the
pavement uric the houses ; they have not had their clothes
elf; and you can Imagine their state of clearilluese.
It appears, ho s ever, that the Guards have corps
ii lie amongst them-- crack regiments, the most crack being
the greatest olackgitards. An inhabitant of one of the houses
within their barricades told me that one of those men i)leg
on the revetment said a few days since, • You will be well
guarded now, at any rate, citosen.' • Why Because we
come from Belleville. The Bellevillites will fight to the
death.' My informant added, ' All those men whom you roe
rechnleg on CIO paeement will be dreadfully drunk shortly.
ills near four o'clock, at which hour their wives come to
bring them food and more wine. Bread and as much as they
can drink are furnished by the Commune. Every apartment
in the Place Vendome whose occupants have gone away has
been pillaged, and the contents of the retire appropriated.
The men are all more or less drunk before four o'clock; the
wine brought by their wives finishes them and by nine at
night the place Ls a perfect halt.' The more respectable
battalions already regret that they did not display more
vigour at the outsat, when yet there was Ume to prevent the
roughs from tasking possession of Peris."—Correspondent of
