On Tuesday the neighbours of a methanic named

stopped by paper being pasted over them, and on the

London and l'rodental Insurance Company. The wife
and both the children were insured in it. —Dr.
Matthew Brownfield said that there were no marhe of
violence externally on any of the bodies, which were all
well nourished and Moan. He made a post-mortem
examination of the body of the woman by ordei. He
found that the flesh was of a bright red oniony. The
woman had died from she effects of the eariesnic acid,
resulting from suffocation with charcoal. Tim man
was evidently stem:tug by the bed-side, and then befell
across the bodies of Ha wife and children, when the
fumes of the charcoal had overpowered him. All the
family died from suffucation.—M.. Eleanor Wilenn
said that the deceased woman was her sister. The
writing "Clara Judge" on the letter was her sister's.
The jury found that Jonathan Judge and Isis wife
Clsra Anne committed wilful murder by suffocating
their two children, and that the said msso and the
acid woman deetroys,l their own lives while in • state
of unsound mind.

A GRAYu question is solemnly discussed by the
Methodist Recorder— whether local preachers are Judi-
fled in using the velocipede on Sundays. On the whole,
the Recorder is not prepared to condemn the new ,
machine being no used. It is better to walk than ride,
If the the distance will permit; but it is better to ride
a velocipede than • horse. But, it is asked, Where will
the innoeation end? Perhaps we shall have • "Local
Preachers' Bicycle Fend," with • yearly spoliation.
"Hears on Tairs."—At the Rlackbeni Petty
Sons, on Wedneeley, a respectable young woman,
named Elisabeth Holt, was summoned by an old
woman, named Ann Johnson, tor stealing a silver spoon.
The article was found to be made of base metal, and to
be worth three-halfpence • in the conflict of evidence it
was impartible to ascertain whether the spoon belonged
to the plaintiff or to the defendant's mother; and with
much practical ingenuity, the magistrate's clerk pro-
poeed that the rivals should "toes up" for the pewter
prima The suggestion WU adopted, and the victory fell
to the defendant's mother.

let the whole Liberal party by the ears, and of this we
