THE "HOLE IN THE WALL."

A memorial, signed by some persona living in the
neighbourhood of the "Hole in the Wall," Kirby.
street, Hatton-garden, London—the tavern now ren-
dered notorious as the head-quarters of the London
Democrats—alleging that the noises made by the
political meetings held in the house had become a
nuisance to the inhabitants, was laid before the justices
of the Holborn division on the recent licensing day.
The house has otherwise been well conducted, the
police having no complaints against it of the usual I
character. Acting, however, upon the memorial laid
before them, the magistrates decided to adjourn
the renewal of the licence for three weeks' to see
whether the alleged nuisance was abated. The
Committee of the Patriotic Society intended to
instruct counsel to appear to refute the state-
ment contained in the memorial, at the adjourned
magistrates' meeting, and in the meantime to hold
their meetings as usual ; but the brewer's solicitor—the
"Hole in the Wall "being a 'brewer's house "—having
ordered the landlady not to allow any more Democratic
meetings; the members of the Patriotic Society on
Sunday evening, when they went to the club-room to
hold their usual meeting, found the door locked, and
they were refused admittance. They were also told
that a lecture announced for the following evening by
Mr. Savage on the Alabama question, would not be
allowed to take place. Tinder these circumstances the
society adjourned to a neighbouring tavern, when they
resolved upon taking premises in Hatton garden, and
forming a working man's club, when upwards of sixty
persons gave their names for ill. each in furtherance of
the project.

Indigestion, Bilious Complaints, and Sick
Headache.

No organ in the human body ia eo liable to disorder
as the liver, and none is more apt, when neglected, to
become seriously diseased. Remember when nausea,
flatuleney, or acidity on the stomach warns us that diges-
tion is not proceeding properly, that Holloway's Pills
regulate every function, give strength to every organ,
speedily remove all causes of indigestion, bile, and sick
headache, and effect a permanent cure.

Weakness and Debility.
In oases of debilky, languor and nervousness, general
ted by excess of arir kind, whether mental or physical,
the diode of these Pills is in the highest degree bracing
renovating, and restorative. They drive from the system
the morbid causes of disease, reestablish the digestion,
regulate all the secretions, strengthen the nervous sys-
tem, raise the patient's spirits, and bring back the frame
to its pristine health and vigour.

Turn of Life and Dropsical Swellings.
The tura of life is the most distressing period in wo-
man's existence; it destroys thousands. The whole of
the gross humours collect together, and like a tide sweep
away health and life itself, if not timely and powerfully
checked. The most certain antidote for all these dangers
is Holloway's Pills. Armed with them the fiery ordeal is
pass eel through, and the sufferer is once more restored to
the possession of unimpaired health. It is but little
known that at the so. called " tarn of life," man also,
when verging on forty or forty•five, discovers that his
health is considerably deranged and knows not the cause
—a critical period in his life. All perils to both sexes
are at once removed by recourse to these Pills.

The Kidneys—Their Derangement and Cure.
If these Pills be used according to the printed directions,
and the Ointment rubbed over the region of the kidneys
for at leset half an hour at bed time, as salt is forced into
meat, it will penetrate the kidneys and correct any de-
rangement. Bliould the affliction be atone or gravel, it
is particularly recommended that the Ointment, in such
case., be used night and morning, as by its judicious ap-
plication the most astounding cures may be performed.
The Pills and Ointment are sold at Professor lioLLo
way's Establishment, 553, Oxford-st. London ; also by
nearly every respectable Vendor of Medicine throughout
the Civilised World, in Boxes and Pots, at Is lid, 2s 94,

CORRESPONDENCE.

We wish it to Su distinctly understood that by inetrtiny
letters in this sa/usen, we do not thereby identify ourselves
with the opinions of our Correspondents.

THE VICABORNS TRIAL.
To the FAPor of the "Olyerner."

Sta,—The Tichborne .glair is a complete Tamale tome,
as it is, perhaps, to many of your readers. But the
greatest puzzle is that a jarf should be, I will sot say so
hasty, but so premature in coming to a conclusion clothe
matter. I believe there were between 80 and 90 witnes-
ses heard for the claimant, and about 17 against him.
Some of those who appeared for him are persons of high
position rank, and standing in society, quite equal if not
superior to those who have opposed him, and yet the 17,
or their evidence, is allowed to counterbalance sad weigh
down the evidence of the 80 odd who were for him.
Could not the witnesses on one side be believed as well
as those on the other side? They were all sworn, sad
consequently entitled to credence, and yet the jury turns
round and we are quite satisfied; we want no further
proof. Why? Simply because the claimant is not
branded with his own initials I This, to my mind, is a
vory simple matter for so important a decision to tarn
upon. Did the jury suppose that the claimant's case
was simply "got up r If so, why not suppose that the
tatoo defence was also "got up," and let both sides have
fair play' But as Ido not wish to trespass too mach on
your valuable space. I will just say that most of all I am
puzzled to know why the public should be milled upon to
punish the claimant for perjury, even if he is guilty of
it- I think, sir, this country is burdened quite enough
already, without having an additional pinch from that
source. England should be called "toucher," for it bad
too much to bear already, and I think it anything bet
right for us to be saddled with the climax of the Tieh-
borne trial, which no one knows 1412 ere or when it will
end.
Thanking you for past favours,
I remain, Sin, yours truly,

ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO POISON.

At the Clerkenwell police-court, in London, Walter Stephen
Thompson, aged 16, a page boy, living at Skt yton, in Nor.
folk, was charged with attempting to poison the Rev. Chi-
chester Reade and his family.
The Rev. Chichester Reads said that he was a
clergyman of the Church of England. The prisoner
had been employed by him as page boy for some time,
but he was dismissed on Tuesday last and told to go
home by the seven o'clock train on the following
morning. Witness rose on Wednesday morning at
nix o'clock and accompanied him to Tottenham, where
he gave him his third-class ticket and also some
money to pay other expenses. On witness returning
home about two o'clock his wife opened the door and
said, "Oh, I hope you have not taken any brandy."
He replied that he had not, and asked her why she was
so anxious. She said, "Elizabeth. the cook, has said it
is poisoned by Walter." The brandy bottle was then
handed to witness and he noticed that it looked very
thick. He went to his dressing room, when he found
that a bottle containing tartarized antimony had been
half emptied of its contents. Some of the poison was
on the edge of the bottle, and the cork only half in.
Witness called in a constable to whom he showed it, and
in the evening he took-the bottle containing the brandy
to a surgeon and asked him to analyze the contents.
He did so and the result of the test was that antimony
was found. The brandy bottle was kept in a drawer on
a sideboard with other spirits.
In answer to the magistrate, the witness said the
poison was not locked up, but no one had ever touched
the bottle before. The prisoner had been in his em-
ploy nearly two years.
Elizabeth Roberta, cook in the pmeettl'i: service,
er
said that on Tuesday last the prison mistress
had told him he would be sent home on e following
morning. He appeared to be very angry, and on the
following morning he said he should do for his master,
and the witness would see him die as he walked along
if she was with him. He railed his master bad names,
said he had been unkind to him, and was not fit to be
a minister.
In answer to the magistrate, the witness said that on
the Monday before the prisoner left he came into the
bedroom while she was making the beds and took up
one of the Rrosecutor's pistols, which she believed to be
loaded, as it was capped and cooked, and said, "I
alsoniciliko to try it on mistar,".

M. HENRI ROCHEFORT.

The Rappel has published • letter addressed by 31. Henri
Rochefort to Victor Hugo, dated February 27. After con-
gratulating M. Hugo upon the success of Buy Bead, M.
Rochefort says
I am in the infirmary of the Fort with Assi (of
Crenzot) and Paschal Grousset until it has been
decided by what anthropophagi we are to be eaten.
But as the Rappel has reappeared before our dis
appearance, it will be a great kindness if you will
request rmeois Victor (Hugo) to s. nd it to me. I
received it when in pi ison at Versailles, and I do not
think there would be any difficulty in my receiving it
ht re. We continue to lead in our citadel here the life
of a circus horse. We walk all day round a circular
platform with no other excitement than seeing the
weather-cock shifting from south-west to north-
west. However, to-day we have been fearfully ex-
cited. Four soldiers fell into the sea, and would pro-
bably have all been drowned, if two convicts had not, at
the first alarm, rushed in at the risk of being swallowed
up in the heavy surf, and succeeded in reselling one of
them. The most curious fact is, that it was precisely
the two men who were first sentenced to death, Viel
and Gentelet, who, like the great criminals that they
are, did not hesitate to risk their lives to rescue
soldiers who had been set to guard them. All the right-
principled newspapers will, of course, point out the
detestable conduct of these communards. I may add
that the sub-lieutenant in command of the party also
leaped into the waves to assist in saving his men, but
unfortunately two of them are still in the open sea.
I beg of you to send me news of everybody. Embrace
my godson and his sister, whom I shall find a young
woman in some fifteen years' time, when I return from
the Pampas, and tell your family to embrace yourself
for me."

The PRINCE and PRINCESS of WALES

in PARIS.

-
The Correspondent of the Daily News sends over the fol-
lowing particulars of the arrival of the Prince and Princess
of Wales in Paris .
The Prince and Princess of Wales arrived by the
ordinary mail train, twenty-five minutes late, at 7.45
Chia (Sunday) morning. Their incognito was strictly
respected. The public knew nothing of the visit.
There was no crowd; not a single shout. Their
Royal Highneeses were received by only one director,
Viscount de St. Pierre, who was accompanied
by the station minder, and M. Thouin, the traffic
manager. When the train stopped, the passengers,
knowing that the Prince was their fellow traveller,
rushed to see him, but his carriage was rapidly un-
hooked; a few strokes of the engine brought it some
yards forward, and three or four policemen barred the
passage and showed the urious their way out. Some
footmen tugged in vain at the door of the Royal car-
ri•ge, which was locked, and a little delay occurred.
The Princess of Wales was the first who stepped
out. She was beaming with smiles and looked
supremely happy. Her dress was simple, neat,
and bec..tming. She wore a close fitting lemon-
coloured tunic, trimmed with Russian sable; a
bonnet rather larger than we are accustomed to
see here; brown feathers, and some unobtrusive
Bowers. The Prince followed. I was surprised to
see bow well he looked, and bow little changed
since I saw hint when he rode in his Hussar uniform at
s review with the Emperor. The Prince seemed not
in the least fatigued by his night journey. A very
slight lameness was the only perceptible symptom of
recent illness. He wore • smart hat of the shape
called in Paris the " Crambetta," and had a white
camelia in his button-bole.
.

After a few courteous words to the railway officials,
the Prince and PriIICOINI and their suite passed through
the luggage room to the outer court, where four plain
hired carriages from the Hotel Bristol were in waiting.
The Prince. very naturally gut into the beet looldng

CALLING THEM TO ACCOUNT!

A Congressional Committee has just been visiting
New Orleans to investigate the charges of fraud and
corruption preferred against the State Government of
Louisiana The inquiry lasted a fortnight, and,
according to a con espoudent of the K l'ark Timcs,
it has elicited a vast amount of evidence, establishing
beyond the possibility of doubt that "bribery,
fraud, peculation, and plunder" are habitually
practised in the legislature and every other depart-
ment of the Government. The State is now
reeling under the heavy burden of debt and taxa-
tion which has been put upon it by needy adven.
turers, assisted by home patriots, who were button will-
ing to enjoy the fruits of the treason though they hated
the traitor. There were many very ugly facts brought
out before the Committee, which militated against the
leaders of both of the two factions of the so-c Ailed Re-
publican party." The correspondent went on to say
that the people of the State are thoroughly arou.ed ;
even the negroes, on whom the Carpet-baggers leaned
for support, have "become disgusted with the course
pursued by the men who call themselves Republicans."
But the nepotism of the governor, who has conferred
all the fat offices on his own favourites, has done more,
perhaps, to alienate his supporters, than the fraud and
bribery in which they have all participated.

At Worcester and Kidderminster the charges were per

Higley charges were high in oomparison ; but the ea.
ewer was that so long as the present system prevailed
the heavy expenses "rerouted any alteration of Ws
charges without entailing positive loss. He would sug-
gest that instead of the present system with its lunch,
which was very expensive, he would propose to begin to
sell early with pigs, horses, and implements, so as to get
at the sale of stock at twelve o'clock. and so get the
sale over earlier, end when the purchasers go to
pay, give each one • ticket for refreshments ia proportion
to the amount of his purchase. This would enable him
to reduce the charge to 44 in the pound. whieb, taking
the commission and tolls into consideration, Would only
be a shade over what parties pay at Worcester and
derminster, where no refreshments at all were given. He
had spoken to several of his best wish:mere, who thought
the plan would work well. He may say that it did at
Belbroughton, Himley, and other places, and that no re-
!reshments were given at Wellington, Wolverhampton,
Birminghsm, Stratford-on-Avon, Kunlun', Persbore,
end many other places. He considered the matter an
, open question, and should be glad to hear what they bad
to 551.—After discussing the question, the great majority
' were iv favour of the proposed change.

A " NONSIIIT" AND A
." VERDICT."

(From The Times.)

Most persons have noticed the phrase "nonsult," but few,
except litigants or lawyers, know its meaning. Its applica-
tion in the Tichborne ease makes it just now of some special
Interest. The point on which people may require explanation
is the difference between • " nonsuit ' and a verdict for the
defendant, and the distinction, if any, in the practical re.
suit. In the present instance we fancy that, practically,
there is no difference ) but the legal difference is this—a
verdict for the defendant, of course, ends the action (unless
It is set aside for a new trial) and determines the case. In
almost all actions, except ejectment—the remedy for the
recovery of real property—it puts an end to the claim,
because the Law will not allow a man to be twice
sued for the same cause. The exception is the
action for recovery of real property, and that by
one of those happy anomalies for which our law is famous,
may be brought over and over again until by • bill in equity
to "quiet the title," as it is called, the vexatious litigant ta
restrained from suing any more. This right to bring re-
peated actions of ejectment ie to meet the hardship of a
claimant's failing through a flaw In his legal proof, a new
trial never being granted merely to enable a man to better
his case by further evidence.
In other actions, however, the same hardship is avoided
by allowing a plaintiff who pereelves that he cannot prove
his case to withdraw from it before a verdict is pronounced
the sliest of which is that this withdrawal la entered in
lien of a verdict, and the ancient language of the
entry was non euit—i.e, he no longer pnlnglea his suit.
This arose in those early thane when litigants
aem and when the suit could not go on the
