births and deaths. William Jones, a copper rollerrnan,
appeared in answer to the charge, which had been
instituted by the Secretary of State and the law
officers of the Crown, in whose behalf Mr. Smith,
solicitor, appeared. The prisoner, it was alleged. had
registered twins a• having been born to him by his
wife, when it was shown that only one child had
been so born, and that the other child was the
illegitmate baby of • young lady, residing in Swansea,
the prisoner having been induced to "father" the
child to screen parties who are legally responsible.
The prisoner was committed for trial at the ageism.

the illgegitimate child, was next charged with haying
mild. • false entry as to the death of the child, she
having registered the infant se the child of the previous

AN IStANT RATAN BY A LlOll.-0110 akin:WOO
recently, the wife of the proprietor of a menagerie •6
Orleans was walking, with a five-montbs old-girl in her
acme, in front of the cages of the animals, and was just
oppoiiite the one containing the lion, when one of the
attendants of the menairene aaked her a question in
reference to something that had to be done. In order
in answer this pity, the mother turned round, and in
doing no approached the skirt of her dress so near to the
cage of the lion that he, putting out hie paw, caught
hold of it and dragged her towards him. Making a
sharp movement to free her skirt, the unfortunate
woman unfortunately placed the child too ether to the
bars of the cage, when the bon, quick at liehtniag,
dashed out its other paw, and snatched the bttle infant
into ita confine before the terrified mother could dispute
with it the prey. The poor woman filled the place with
piteous cries, and, inspired by maternal °mirage, endea-
vourcd to dreg the infant from the ferocious heut,
which bad already devoured half its head. There wea
nothing to be seen bet bloody scraps of human fifth
mingled with pieces of dress, while the animal, threaten-
ing with terrible eyes, was crunching the bones of the
child, which could be heard crackling beneeth his

was removed from the horrible spectacle. Her husband,
in ilia sorrow and rage, took op a gen. and pointieg it
to the lion, the tomb of his infant, laid the animal dead
in the cage. As to the mother, when her first parasite,
of grief was calmed, it was found that she had become
mad. It is stated that the lion was unusually ferocious
and exerted on this ciecesion owing to having been
negligently left without food when the other animals
had their usual Med.

tilltaCil Or PM. 41131 or WAIIPIAGL —An inquiry
wee held at London Guildhall on Wednesday, before
Mr. Secondary Potter and a special jury, t s assess the
amount of damages in an action brought in one of the
superior warts tor a breach of promise of nuirriage ;
the defendant hiving allowed judgment to pars by
default. The plaintiff, Mi.. Louisa Woodley, was the
eldest daughter of an English merchant and vies'
consul at Patraa, in Greece; and the defendant, Mr.
G. Piekburn, was a surgeon, and bad recently held the
appointment of assiatant-phyeelan at Fiaberton Asylum,
iu Wilt., and was the eldest non Or (ha pro' rietor of
the Clerkenecell Nevi. The plaintiff VIM mid to be •
young lady of great personal acructions, and very
accomplished. In the summer of 1865 the defendant
paid a visit to Patois for the benefit of his health, amid
was introduced to the plaintiff 's family. She wu then
in her 17th year, and the defendant was between 19 and
20. It seemed that be was much charmed with the
society of the plaintiff, and eventually he made an offer
of marriage to her, vs bich was accepted with the consent
of her father, lie stated to the family that he was
then a medical student at one of the hospitals in
London, and in • little more than • year he hoped to
be both • physican and surgeon, and that in three Tears
he should he in a position to keep the plaintiff. In the
mune of 15 months he went oat Kanto Patna, and wee
received us the future husb and of the plaintiff. They
walked and drove out together, and be showed her the
grramat attention. After a stay of a month he
returned to England. In January, filtli, he informed
her that he bad passed an emenination, and was •
member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England:
and in another letter he eased that had had an offer of
£I,OOO to go to Bombay, whiehhe hod refused, and in a
later epistle that he wee the usistent house surgeon at
St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Subsequently it was stated
that his oommunications beams somewhat more reel,
and towards the close of March he .poke of his profuse
of settling down being far off, and added—" I cannot
help thinking sometimes that it was a very selfish thing
for me to bind you to an engagement with me, for
th.re ore se many disadvantages ;" and spoke of an
income of rioll, which did not keep him out of debt.
At lenxtb, on the 29th of September, be wrote her •
letter breaking off the engagement; first, because be
should not be in • position to keep • wife for some
yeers ; and secondly, that he bad known long that his
feelings towards her were only those of friendship awl
respect. It was stated in evidence that the plaintiff
bad suffered much I. health In consequence of the
breaking off of the match. Mr. Kinder addressed the
jury in mitigation of damages, and said it was clear that
the promise woo made in the heat of youth, and should
not be made the subject of an action. A small amount
of damages would be raMeient to meet the jute* of
OA, ease. Mr. harbor°, the father of the defendant, was
called. and he gave some evidence as to the prospects of
las WEL His income at Fisherton.house was kW a
year, but he resigned that appointment, and in cross-
examiustion the witness Mated that the defendant had
left England on the previous day in the ship Abergele
for Sidney. It appeared that the defendant had taken
his degree as B.M. in Scotland. The learned Secondary
having summed up,thejury assessed the damages at MA.
COMICAL APTAIR AT A LLowellegAT.—By Om follow-
ing account of a most comical incident which transpired
in Allowenshay, near Crewkerne, on Wednesday, it will
be seen that the love of eider, is more intense in sonio
people than even the love of life itself. Per some years
put it has been the nightly custom of three sons of a
farmer of this place to meet in an old building—a barn
and cellar In one—and there to while away the time in
drinking cider, often getting half seas over, and while
in that glorious "tate to ask a neighbouring grindstone
to fight, or to have • mime encounter amongst them.
selves, but with no more hurt than a tumble on the
barn floor would occasion. Once down they would often
sweat it out till morning. But on the night of the day
in question things came to a climax when it was found
that the eider was nearly all out. One of the three
worthies, Burley Jack, the bachelor, of some five and
forty summers, declared that it was time to die, and,
the wish being father to the thought,be went forthwith
and hung himself. But while suspended. xtel Won'
getting tusenaible, he bethought himself that no grave
' was dug. So, loosing the noose from his neck, he Pr.'
minded to the orchard close by, and, with pickaxe Awl
spade, Isogon to dig one. It must he altuitt...l that to
dig one's own grave is sot an every day usicurrence. so
thought a neighbour ',Lasing by at the time. Askttel
Jack what be was up to, and being toll, the punt, hy
replied that the grave wan not long enonigh, when Jack
rather petulantly told his querist that his friends could
cut off hi• legs owl throw thrill upon the top of his
body ! The man passed on, and Tack got tirwl of his
job, saying that the old seston at Kingsione could do it
better than be. Al a abort distal:on be spied a grtad-
tremendous blow with the pickaxe, upsetting it and
Jack said. He then returned to
stone, became furious, and went up to and be it a
killing it outright, all
the barn with the others, in order to finiah the cider.
Fearing what might happen, hie companions stayed
with him the
whole night. He told them that when he
to
was dead be wished them roll all of eider on
his grave, and there drink the health of f poor Josh.
Nest morning he was led to his house in a drunken
state. The botor was fetched, as it was thought that
Jack was Meuse. NO he in sane enough to know that
the tide, is oat
