FRIDAY.

The Haws of Commons held • morning sitting. Mr.

another vote of censure on the Government—the third
which has been announced bv the Cora. and Drummond
. The House went into committee on the Arrears
party.
resuming the discussion on the new emigration oleos*,
to which some of the Pernellite members objected on
Principle, while others ineuited that the Government
should be more liberal in their grants to the people who
removed to America. Another Irish member imbed for
State aseietance to public works at home. Mr. Trevelyan.
replying to the objec, ions, said the scheme would provide
for the emigration of 15 per cent, of the population in the
distressed districts, which the Government deemed
enough. Mr. W. H. Smith supported toe proposal on
behalf of the front Opposition bough, while Mr.
O'Donnell declared that it was • betrayal of the
Irish party. Eventually the clause was adopted
! by a majority of 355 votes to 20. At the evening tutting
the discussion was resumed, and after further opposition
on the part of the ?Arnaldo., the claims was adopted
without • division. Another clause, providing for the
payment of loan, was also agreed to. The sect clause.
empoeering the Treasury to make grants to boards of
guardians for emigration purposes, brought Mc Healy
again into the flekl, his object being to bursas, the
grants for emigrant. from £5 to LIO per head. Mr.
Trevelyan resisted this as demoralising, and the amend-
ment was rejected by 231/against 58. Other amendments
having been disposed of, tie. Bill was reported to tit.
House„ and Mr. Gladstone moved teat it be read a third
time, briefly pointing out the urgency of the distress
which had prompted the Government to bring forward the
measure, and the utter abating, of any alternative pro-
posal for the settlement of the tenants' arrears Sir H.
Maxwell moved the rejection of the Bill, in order to
enable the Opposition to maks a Anal protest egsinst it,

Mr. Gladatone's motion was carried by 285 vote. against

against the girl Legg on the indictment charging her
with the wilful murder of her child, but

GUILTY

of concealment of birth.
Mary Arnett was then indicted for being an
accessory in the concealment. The evidence as before
was briefly taken, and the jury again deliberated.
A verdict of " Guilty" on this charge was taken.
Mrs. Arnett banded in a written statement, but it
did not appear to affect her case in the least.
Mr. Matthew.: On behalf of the prosecution, I beg
to recommend the prisoners to mercy.
Addressing the prisoner Legg, bin Lordahip said:
The charge in the indictment against you wee that of
the wilful murder of your child. The jury have been
pleased to take • lenient view of the case, and have
acquitted you on than charge, and I think, on the
whole, they are right in the decision they have arrived
at. At the same time I cannot conceal from my
mind that there are some very serious and disagreenble
circumstances in the case. I cannot deal with your
lime in the MIMS way as I deal with many wee of the
kind, but feel bound to Inflict some substantial punish-
ment, which aria be that you be imprisoned and kept
to herd labour for twelve calendar months.

The prisoner was then removed below.
The Judge (addressing Mrs. Arnett, who presented
a worn and haggard appearance) said: You also have
been acquitted of being an accessory after the fact; I
don't Walt there was any case agiun-t you on such a
charge, and I directed your acquittal. I
have paid attention to the whole of the
evidence in this case, and I cannot help concealing
from my mind the strong feeling that you
have been influenced by a motive which while it does
net justify you in the comae you have taken, still ia a
very cogent and extenuating circumstance. I don't
wish to allude to it, because it might not be agreeable
to you. Still that feeling, and from what I have been
told, induces me to pass a very different sentence to
what I otherwise should have done. The sentence of
the Court is that you be Imprisoned for one month
without hard labour. . . .

The prisoner was at on taken in a half fainting

FLlill LSD "MIXES'S TOLLS.

The Committee having considered the brelaws at
presenl in force in the borough, with reference to the
labs and markets, and th se In other towns, presented
a draft of improved bye.laws, which they submitted
to the Coundi together with • table of the fees.
• long desultory discussion ensued on the charges to
be male, and particularly with reference to the
amount to be charged for circuses or shows.
Ultimately Mr. Alderman Glet.ris said be thought
they would not be able to decide • question of this
sort there and then, and proposed that the rules
suggested by the committee be printed and a copy sent
to esch member of the Corporation. At present, for
his pet, he was not prepared to decide anything from
the me-. reeding of the b73-laws which they had had ; it
required very serious consideration. (Hear, hear.) If
they said to their lessee of the tolls he should not
charge more than ss. for circuses or shows, it would
owes • very widow' diminution in the amount of their
tolls. Therefore he considered, under all the circum-
Maness, they ought to have an opportunity of looking
meta, through it.
Dr. LLDIUDGIS bad great pleasure in seconding the
motion, which was carried.
The question then arose whether the Council were
bound to accept the tenders which had been sent in to
beoppned at this meeting.
TW was understood to be the case, and Dr.
ALDaiDoe moved that the highest tender be accepted,
provided the sureties be satisfactory.
The tenders were as follows :—Mr. J. Dyer, £325;
Mr. Payne, 1:315; Mr. J. Handley (Ablootsbury),
£325; Mr. J. Barge, 040 (accepted).
Dr. ALDIUDGI expressed his regret at losing their
old lessee ; but lt was remarked there was no alterna-
tive for them.
As the highest tender last year was £3lO, it was an
evidences, as the KAYOS remarked, that tbeir tolls were
increasing In value.

meetings Anyhow, the ratepayers would be able to
judge whether their representatives were up to the
work, and did their duty without fear or affection.
Poisioly we !should not then hear of appointments
being cancelled by the superior board, and should hese
of more real business being done. It is notorious that
poor rates have increased enormously the hut 20 years,
aud very little seems to ba done to check the increases
I quite agree with a 'Liver of the presence of the

them. Now is the thn i—let the ratepeyers attend at
