heads the quotations at 6 to 1, and be is suppor-

GRAND SOIREE AT THE MIDDLE TEMPLE
HALL

On Tuesday evening a soiae of the tneMber3 of the
International Prison Congress was held in the noble
hall of the Middle emple, which was appropriately
decorated for the occasion. On the walls hung
ancient firmour and arms, while shrubs and flowers
were arranged aloUg ,he ground. The notification
that the Prince of Wales woill be present at the
soirCe gave additional interest to the event, although,
owing doubtless to good management, the Hall
was at no time crowded or inconvenient. The
visitors; ladies and gentlemen, arrived early, as it was
expected the 11-ince would; It was half. past ten, how-
ever, before he arrived. accompauffd by Lord Suffield
and Major General Probyn. A small ciond had
assembled outside the hall, who &aye his Royal High-
ness a hearty cheer. •He was received by Mr. Bruce,
the Home Secretary ; Mr. Hastings, the Chairman
of the Executive Committee; Mr. T. Chambers,
and several of the foreign members of the Congress.
Amongst the company were Archbishop Manning,
' Ur. Hibbert, M.P., Sir J. Paktngton, M.P., Sir J.
Bowring, Mr. Baker, Baron Mackay, the Count de
Foresta, Dr. Wines, Dr. Mowatt, Dr. Frey, H. Robin,
:H. Stevens, Dr. Guillaume, Baron Sollohub, General
Pilsbury, Hon. D. Haines, and, indeed, most of the
prominent members of the International Yrimon Con-
gress, including Mri. Howe and Miss Carpenter.
His Royal -Highness walked down the Hall, ac-
companied by the Home Secretary on one side and
Mr. Hastings on the other. In the middle of the Hall
they stopped, when the foreign members of the Ex-
ecutive Committee were personally introduced to the
Prince, who received them very graciously, shaking
hands and conversing with several. Miss Carpenter
was one of the last to whom he was introduced, aud
he seemed highly pleased to have made her acquaint-
ance.

THE STORM.

On Saturday evening about half-past four
o'clock a terrific thunderstorm broke over Stour.
bridge. The rain came down in torrents and
the lightuing was very vivid, followed in some
cases instantaneously by tremendous claps of
thunder. Sergeant-major H. Bird was at the
rifle range shooting at the time the storm came
on, when he took the only shelter he could get,
that was under a tree. Whilst there the electric
fluid struck him and rendered him speechless.
Some of his comrades picked him up, and he
was placed in a van, and conveyed home. We
are happy to say that ho Las almost recovered
from the effects. Some property was damaged
at Brett°ll Lane, and a portion of a chimney on
the house of Mr. Smith, boot manufacturer,
High-street, to which is attached the telegraph
wire, was knocked down and fell with a tremen-
dous crash on to the slates of Mr.Oriftin's house,
which adjoins Smith's. A number of bricks also
fell down into the yard, but fortunately no one
was there, or undoubtedly they would have met
with serious injuries, as the chimney is a very
high one.

DEATH OF JUDGE DINSDALE.

Mr. F. Dinsdale, Judge of the Warwickshire
County Court, died at his residence in Leaming-
ton on Suuqay morning. He was called to the
bar at the Middle Temple, May 23rd, 1834, and
in 1847 was appointed Judge of Circuit No. 22,
holding Courts at Alcester, Bronagrove, Coven-
try Daveutry, Redditch, Rugby, Solihull, South.
am, Stourbridge, Stratford-on-Avon, and War.
wick. Mr. Dinsdale's decisions have always
been characterised by their clearness and fair-
ness. He has been incapacitated for work for
about two years, during which time the duties of
the office have been discharged by Mr. Godson,
of the Oxford Circuit, and Mr. Loxdale Warren.
Mr. Dinsdale was highly esteemed in Leaming-
ton, as well as by the legal gentlemen practising
in the Cuurts over which he presided. The
deceased gentleman was a L.L.D., a J.l'., and a
Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries.

furnished for preferring paper to gold. The depre-
ciation of the currency operates as a tax on all accumu-
lations which are not invested either in some material
property', such as land or mines, or in reproductive
undertakings. The tendency of the change would,
therefore, stem to be favourable to capitalists and arti-
sans, but it will cause much social discomfort and dis-
turbance. It is highly probable that the working
classes may, as their wages incrcaze, prefer additional
leisure to the mere addition to their income which they
can command at their eheice. Nearly all the economic
changes which are impending are likely to tend to the
disadvantage at the consumer.

PUBLIC PROSECUTORS BILL.

This bill, as remodelled by the amendments, has
been reprinted. The bill is designed to come into opera-
tion in the Central Criminal Court district on the let of
January, 1873, and a Secretary of State may appoint a
public prosecutor or prosecutors for such district. The
bill may also be adopted by the local authority of a
county or borough (the Quarter Sessions of the county or
the Council of the borough), by a resolution passed at a
meeting; and thereupon a Secretary of State, with the
concurrence of the Treasury, may appoint a locally prac-
tising attorney or attorneys to be public prosecutor or
prosecutors, subject to a recommendation of not less
than three persons by the local authority, with (in a
borough) the consent of the Borough Sessions. If the
Secretary of State is of opinion that none of the per-
sons recommended are tit, the local authority may
make another recommendation; but if no such recom
mendation is made within nix months as enablcs the
Secretary of State to make an appointment, he may
appoint without a recommendation. The same rules
will apply to subsequent appointments.
A public prosecutor is not to practise privately in
criminal proceedings or ParliatueLtirry elections, or
recistration. lie is eti hold office during the pleasure
of the Secretary of State. The public prosecutor is to
conduct the prosecution of persons committed for trial
for felony, larceny, and other offences named in a
schedule to the bill, and is to institute and conduct
such other prosecutions or criminal proceedings as he
may be required to institute and conduct. The Sem 6-
tary of State may make regulations for carrying the
bill into effect, and, in particular, regulating the duties
of public prosecutors and determining what criminal
proceedings they are to appear in; and he may also
issue directions to a public prosecutor in reference to
any matter done or to be done by him in pursuance of
this bill.
A private prosecutor may be associated with the
public prosecutor in a prosecution in manner and on
conditions to be prescribed by the Secretary of State.
A private prosecutor may apply to a Superior Court
for leave to conduct a prosecution in lieu of the public
prosecutor, showing reasonable grounds for such rips

the bill is not to deprive any person of the right to
take proceedings before Justices or to prosecute where
a public prosecutor does not.
The salary of every public prosecutor (fixed by the
Secretary of State and the Treasury) is to be paid out
of m nryas provided by Parliament, as also are all costs
properly incurred by him in the execution of his duties,
including the payment of witnesses for the prosecution
and for the accused. There are clauses also forpayment
of Cleilis of the Peace and Justices' clerketliy salary ;
and, being attorneys, they are eligible for the office
of public prosecutor.

AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS.

A case of interest and importance to agriculturists
has been before the Berkshire magistrates, at the New-
bury Petty Sessions. Mr. Cherry, Vice-Chairman of
the-Berks Quarter Sessions, and a full bench being
present.
Mr. Lowsley, an extensive farmer, summoned two
of his hired servants, named Downham and Giles, for
not fulfilling their duty on the 24th of June. It ap-
peared that on the above day about 30 men were en-
gaged at haymaking for Mr. Lowsley, Downhatu and
Giles being among the number. At nine o'clock at night
there remained about an hour and a half's work to
complete the carrying of the hay, but at that hour a
portion of the men struck work, refusing to stay later
unless paid more money. Mr. Loweley ordered them
to go on but they resolutely refused to do so, and
the consequence was that the hay was left uncartied,
and as rain came on the next morning a loss of more
than £2O wee sustained. The defendants were engaged
to look after four horses each, but on the night of
the strike they went off without attending to them pro-
perly. The defendant's wages were is. per week each,
in addition to which Giles was to receive £5 for
Michaelma.s and harvest money, and Downham
4.3 las. Giles said he got the water for his horses
before he left, and unharnessed two, the carter boy
promising he would attend to the other two. Downham
said he gave two of his homes their food ; the other two
were left in the field.

The magistrates said they were of opinion that
defendants were not bound by their contract to go on
with their work at the time of night their master
required them, and the summons must be dismissed
There could be no doubt, however, that had defendants
studied their master's interests as they should have
dons they would have finished carrying the hay that
night.

There was another case againet the defendants for
misconduct on the following day by absenting them-
selves from their work, Mr. Lowt,ley's bailiff having to
fetch them from a neighbouring beerhouse. For this
offence they were fined Ts., inclusive of costs, and in
default of payment were committed to gaol for seven
days.
-

Mr. Lows ley said it wouldbe utterly uselensto attempt
to carry on farming operations if men were allowed to
come and go when they plumed as Giles eJud Powm
ham had done.

A WOMEN'S PEACE CONGRESS.

A Women's Peace Congress was Monday evening
at St. Georges-hall, Lancl,rn piae, London Lady Bowring
in the chair, Then w. • fair attendance, and amongst
those ps.r-Zit Wer Sir J. Bowring, Professor Seeley, Mr.
W. D. Christie, C.B , Mrs. Pennington, etc. The Congress
was organized by Mn. Bowe, an American lady, who has
come over to this country for the express purpose Si
appealing to the women of Buropean so.lets, heriele of
peace.
- -

• -----
Her ladyshlp, opening the proceedings, said she
thotteht that women had more to do with the subject
of war than, perhaps, they imagined. If they could
inaugurate a moral movement on a largr. eenle ft must
emanate from the home. The I..ntlie influences bad a
great deal to do in thls Matter, and if women were
banded tetfether in the interests of peace they might
command peace and dispel anything like warlike and
tumultuous feelings. She wi-hed th.et the women of
England would emulate the spirit which had moved
their war! abet:, irons America.

Mrs. W. Howe then addressed the meeting. She
said she firmly believed that every human relation
must be sifted before they could get peace he human
society, thorough, lasting, mid entire. Peace meant
freedom, not the freedom of the outcast, but the
freedom of the citizen; it meant justice ; it meant the
majestic verdict of the collecti,t) huinan reason; it
meant religion, not the heirarchical maintenance of a
creed, but the great inspiration of the human soul.
Peace meant all this. It was to be an Anglo-
American peace, a peace of goodwill They had found
out that a little arbitration was rod, ezel thty belfeied
a little more of it would be Letter still ; then iet
it become a permanent fact in their Europe, not an
exceptional thing. Let it be the wonder of the civilized
world that people should go to war, and let them all do
their utmost to bring about this end, which could
hardly be without a great central repreeentation 'n
Europe. which should have the poWer of saying, "I
forbid." There ehottld lte that veto somewhere in this
continent, en there was in America.
The meeting was addressed by Professor Seeley,
Mrs. E. Rose Sir J. Bowriug, Mr. Mottershead, Mr.
Ward, and Mr. Powell (New York).

THE STRIKE IN THE LONDON
BUILDING TRADE.

A new turn has been given to the dispute in the
building trade by the masons having concluded a
separate wgreement with the masters on the following
term
. .

"That the average working hours shall he fifty-one per
week, as requested by the workmen, but that the shorter
hours during which they cannot see to work in the winter
shall be made up by additional hours In summer, and that the
wages shall be Cid. per hour instead of tiff ,as at prment. The
hours see to be as under :-12 weeks in winter at 47 hours,
per week, and 40 weeks in summer at 52k hours per week.
Ihe hours of commencing work to be six unlock in mum,
and seven o'clock in winter, and half-past six on Monday
mornings in summer, the hours of leaving off on Saturday to
be twelve o'clock all the year round. The committee of
masters will recommend the members of the association to
pay wages on Friday evening after work.''.. •

This agreement was signed on Friday by five repre-
sentatives each of the committees of the masters and
the masons, and was submitted on Saturday to a
general meeting of the masons, and adopted, amidst
much cheering, almost unanimously.
The carpenters complain bitterly of the course
adopted by the masons, and allege that their interests
have not been consulted, and that the masons have
acted " traitorously and dishonestly" to their fellow-
workmen.

On Monday the master builders of London decided
to re-open their establishments upon the terms agreed
upon with the operative masons. The lock-out is,
therefore, virtually at an end.

A full meeting of the carpenters' delegates was held
ou Tuesday night at the " Brown Bear," in Blooms-
bury, when the compromise effected last week by the
masons with the masters was considered. Much irrita-
tion was still expressed at the isolated action of the
masons; and the carpenters resolved n t to accepttne
compromise, but to maintain their strike at a season
which presented lees hardships than winter.

SUICIDE OF A FENIAN.

One of the prominent leaders of the late Fenian
movement haa put an end to his life under peculiarly
melancholy circumstances.

Martin Hanley Carey, the deceased, was tried at the
special commission of 1864, and sentenced to ten
years' penal servitude. His mind gave way while he
was confined in Pentonville, but having been released
some three or four years ago he recovered, and sub-
sequently joined the Irish Ambulance Corps, probably
with the object of aiding the French more actively
than by merely assuaging the sufferings of the
wounded, for he soon joined the army of Bourbaki,
and so distinguished himself that he received a
lieutenant's commission and a decoration. After his
return here he was employed in some mercantile
capacity, but he could not abstain from scenes of
political turmoil, and in the affray last August in the
Phtenix-park he received some severe injuries. It
appears that he had been much ill-Iturbed of late, and
had to be closely watched. He left his residence in
Sackville-place,lClublin, at an early hour last Saturday
morning, accompanied by his wife, who took all the
care she could of him. When walking along the quays
in the vicinity of Essex-bridge, he took a sudden start
and jumped into the river. Mr. Seacome Mason audit
Mr. Mherrard bravely plunged into the water to rescue
the unfortunate man, when they succeeded in keeping
his head above water until a boat was procured. He
was brought to the quay by the slip rind placed on an
outside car, and driven without a in menes delay to
Jervis-street Hospital, where he Was promptly attended
by Dr. Dalton, who prunoiluced life to be extinct.

Martin Hanley Carey was buried on Tuesday
morning. His funeral was a great Fenian pageant.
His coffin was borne on men's shoulders, and On it
were placed his cap and the Cross al the Legion of
Honour, which he had won when serving with Bour-
baki. After the coffin marched some four thousand
men in military array, all of them wearing green
favours and laurel leaves in their coats. The cortege
passed through the principal streets of the city to
Glasnevin Cemetery, where spseches were delivered
over the grave.

DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT.-At the Police Court
on Monday last, before Mr. R. L. Freer, John
Griffiths (59), lakurer, of Oldswinford, was
charged with indecently assaulting Sarah Hill,
a young girl about 13 years of age, also of Old-
swinford, on Friday, the sth inst.—Sarah Hill
(the prosecutrix) stated that she was going down
by Worcester Lane Bridge about four o'clock in
the afternoon of the above date, when she saw
the prisoner, who was in a field hoeing potatoes.
As she WAS passing he came out of the field into
the road. He said it was very warm, and offered
her some porter to drink. She declined it, and
he then pulled out his purse and offered her some
money. She refused this also, and the prisoner
then unbuttoned his trousers and indecently ex-
posed himself to her, at the same time trying to
catch hold of her. She, however, eluded his
grasp, and two carts coming by at the time the
prisoner did not molest her further, and she
walked away. On being cross-examined by Mr.
Perry, prosecutrix said she was coming down
Worcester-lane on her road home, when she saw
the prisoner. She did not sit on the rails. The
prisoner was working when she first saw him.
She was sure that he indecently exposed himself
to her. She was in the road when prisoner tried
to catch hold of her. She did not call out be-
cause she was not frightened, as she had known
prisoner for a considerable time. She met a po-
liceman shortly after the affair had happened,
but she did not say anything to him about it.
The first person she told of what hal occurred
was Mrs. Porter. She saw Mrs. Porter about
six o'clock on the Friday night. Mrs. Porter
acquainted her father and mother of the affair.

OBTAINING MONEY BY FALSE
PRETENCES.

At the Central Criminal Court, in London, henry Teton
Cusack Section. need 21, clerk. pleaded " Guilty" to having
obtained £l2 Pc by false pretence. from Thomas Cobb,
With intent to defraud, and with having forged and uttered
orders for the pay inent of £2l lds., £lO, and £5
respectively, also with intent to defraud.
The primner, who hail been clerk of the kitchen at
the Langhatn Hotel, London, INAB lately employed
selling wine on commissi n. He was at an hotel in
Worthing when he uttered a check for £l5 in the name
of "the Hon. Charles Longhorn," which he assumed
there, and in order to carry out the fraud he pretended
to address letters to Lord Do aglas Gordon and Captain
Carlton, of the Albany, as if he was accustomed
to write to distinguished people like himself. That
occurred in October, 1570. From Worthing he
went to Sheffield and uttered a check there for
£lO, which he signed in the name of Hanson, whose
signature he was well acquainted with, while
to was engaged at the Longhorn Hotel. The third
and last case of forgery was committed at Canterbury
in January, 1571, where he assumed the name of
Gordon, and signed a check in that name for £,5 13s. 55.
When taken into custody he said these were not cases
of forgery, for all he did was to assume the names of
Hanson and Gordon, only as soma de guerre. He was
last at Drummond's Hotel, near Euston-station,
London, bearing the name of Curley. There were
other watTants out against him.
Mr. Harris, on the ground that the prisoner was
young, urged the Court not to ruin him utterly by
sending him to penal servitude.
The Common Serjeaut said he could see no excuse or
extenuation, and sentenced the prisoner to five years'
penal servitude.

ScROOL BOARD PROBRCUTIONS.—At the Brierley Bill
Police Court, on Moaday, before Messrs. Mulcroft and
Evers, Samuel Egglington, labourer, was summoned by
Mr. Bennett.. Visitaig Officer of the Mincer School Board,
to answer the charge of neglecting to send his daughters,
Sarah Jane and Charlotte Marian, to school. The wife
of defendant appeared, and said that Charlotte had an
infectious disease of the hand, and that Sarah was nurse
at a house where the master and mistress had undertaken
to teach her daughter, who was " ggttMg on remarkably
well." The Magistrates excused defendant on the part
of Charlotte, but said that Sarah must be sent to school.
Mrs. Eggliagton said that her daughter could not be bet-
ter taught if seat to school. The Bench ultimately dis-
missed the case, with the understanding that the Mincer
School Board should be satisfied that the child was being
educated —Joseph Edwards, labourer, was charged with
neglecting to send las .131111, William and Joseph, to
school. Defendant said he had sent both of his children
to school ; and upon this being denied, he said it was for
complainant to prove to the contrary. This, Mr. Ben-
nett, Visiting °facer, was unable to prove, and the Bench
dismissed the cue.
