the habit of keeping company with Miss Bum Taylor,
the daughter of a butcher, a girt of twelve ; and that
whenever he wanted money to treat her, or to make her
presents, be helped himself out of the till. The prisoner
admitted that he "allowed" Mire Taylor Be. • week—

shillings sutra, "of course" he let her have it.

A BRUME EIRIP ATTACKED IT PIRATIC—The
Tinsel peblehas a detailed account of an attack
by pirates upon the British ship Maceluff on October
22, 1861, in lat. 7.30. long. 20.32, which, we must thy,
been the outward and visibli signa of a "shave." The
klacduff carried two 24-pounder carronadee, and her
crew and massagers amounted to fifty inelnding twelve
gunners of the Royal Artillery, commanded by Lieut.
—and Ensign—. They were armed with "sir old
muskets, three revolver!, • pair of duelling pistols, and
nix rifles and fiowing•pnesea." The weather was calm.
During the day-time they were alarmed by the strange
proosedinp of a three-masted vessel in the offing, sus-
piciously rigged ea • schooner, which " ippsrently"
carried theam-power, and made what preparations they
could for defense. Then they betook themselves to
whist, and were aroused after dark from their game by
the approach of two boat., carrying from 100 to 150
well-armed pirates, who poured • shower of bullets
amongst them. The lin:duff replied with a well-
directed fire, and the first mate, Kr. administered
to one of the piratical boats a dose of grape and canister
from one of the ship's earromeles which sent her to the
bottom. The fight lasted about half an hour. No-
body on board the Macduff was hurt, and at the end of
that time the pirate, fled "quite demoralised." The
officers 'soldiers, sailors, and even the ladies on board
the 11•Cduff are said to have behaved admirably.

ILL-TREATING LUNATIC PATIENTS.—Mward Charles
James Shaw, • 'surgeon, was tried and convicted at
Hertford, on Saturday, for taking charge of an insane
lady without the medical certificates and orders required
by the statute. Mr. Shaw kept an asylum for inva-
lids at Shams, and he had illegally received the
patient without the needful forms. Although the
sum of sixty pounds • year was paid for her
maintenance, she, a lady, was *implored In the most
menial otiose about the haus*, such as °Limning boots and
knives, and working an eat-crualiing machine. Toe eame
person was tried on • second indictment, charging him
with neglecting and ill-Westing another patient, •
gentleman who had onoebeen Mayor of Windsor. When
the visiting physician under the Commissioners of
Lunacy went to Shaw's house, they found the unhappy
"patient" in • most wretched condition. He was
lying on • straw mattress in • back kitchen, with
no other covering than an old carpet, and in • most
pitiful condition of neglected Imbecility. Sixty pounds
a year had, in the lint instance, been paid for his sup-
port; but, on representations that his infantile habits
rendered additional attendance necessary, the "Bowsaw
was doubled. Yet no attendant was provided, and he
vsrn suffered to lie in his misery. Convicted of these
two cilfecom, Edward Charles Jailial Shaw was con-
descqed to • fins of two hundred pounds, and to kn.
prbsociseent for periods of two and six months.
