evince a strong determination to fight
to the bitter end, and they are now taking
inn:eel's opinion as to the legality of the
breaking open of church doors. The church-
warden", who have hitherto displayed the most
supreme contempt for the legal bearings of the
case, now manifest quite a refreshing regard for
points of laws. They are of opinion that the
forcing open the doors was an illagal act, and
suddenly, impressed with the heinousness of
breaking the law, they have resolved to summon
the Biehop of Rochester or the Rev. 11. Dale for
this offence.: It is therefore probable that the
spectacle of Is bishop in the police court will be
added to the many incidents of this edifying
affair.
The Journal of the Bath and West of England
Agricultural Society for 1876 is before us—a
goodly volume of some 400 pages. It contains
a her of papers by authorities on the subjects
they treat, a lengthy review of the Hereford
Show, and!a number of statistics from which we
will quote to show the extent of the Society's
operations. From them we learn the cost of
the present Journal is £4Bl us. 4d., and on the
other aide we find sale of Journal—we presume
that of 11475—£1 Bs. Id. Its price is 6s per

cm:um-Examination OF THE INFOnmeit.
Lewis during the course of the case wee put into the

hands were in the mess besides yourself and they were
against you? —Yes, sir, they were against me.

The prisoners were then removed. Ayles wax the
only one who exhibited any emotion, and he wept
bitterly, during the hearing of the case and the pa.ing
of the sentence.
A soldier named Ryland., whose ease ilid not appear

female child, by depositing it in &drain at Chardstock,
on the 20th December last.
Mr. Justice Hawkins addressing her, sal I he had no
reason to think there was any violence of any sort
used or inflicted upon the little child, whose body she
concealed. He had every reasen to believe the story
she had told, and her only object in disposingof it, was
to conceal her shame from those, whom she was
desirous should know nothing of her misfortune.
. .

Under those Circumstances he- was not disposed to
inflict upon her that sort of punishment, which would
send her to herd with those condemned to hard
labour, but he could not pass over the °Renee, without
Inflicting some punishment, and the moot lenient he
could pan, would be that she he imprisoned with hard
labour for one calendar month.
The Court then rose.
