ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES.

A DRILL SERGEANT Saw DT A VOLUNTEER RIFLE.
stau.—On Saturday evening a great deal of excitement
was created an the town and neighbourhood of Ashford,
in consequence of a deplorable accident. by which Ser-
geant Whorley, drill-instructor to the TJth Kent Hide
Corp., was instantaneously killed. It appears that •
few members of the corps were practising firing at 500
y range, and the drill instructor we. acting as •
marker. l'rivate Williams, ton of Mr. Williamn, wine
and spirit merchant, was in the act of firing at the
target, when the sergeant left his hut, carrying the red,
or danger flag. Unfortunately, however, he did not
emerge sufficiently (ruin the line of the huts, and WWI
consequently not seen when Williams discharged his
rifle, but iininediately afterwards wins observed to fall.
As soon as possible several volunteers proceeded to the
spot, when it was discovered that the ball had panned
through his head, and that, as might be expected, ha
was quite dead. The sergeant was very much esteemed
by all the members of the corps, and hi. untimely death
has c.st a gloom over the town and neighbourhood.
A WEALTHY LONDON BEGGAR. Kesiala KAdge, a
decent-looking woman, attired as • widow, wan ched
before Alderman Carter, at the Gaildhall, on Tuesday,
with begging, under the following circuinstaeoes :
Williain Hewitt, one of the officers of the Mendicity
Society, mid he slaw the prisoner begging of several
Indira, and knowing hers, an old imposter he took her
into custody. He found on her 7d. in silver and copper
money, a silver watch, and • portenionnide. She
refused her name and address. Alderman (Airier said
she could not have been in each great distress if she hail
• silver watch in her posstasioa. Hewitt said this was
one of the worst cases of begging that he ever remem-
' bereal. The prisoner, no far from being destitute or in
distress, actually had as much as £BOO or 000 invested
in the Bank of England, and drew her dividends regu-
larly, upon which she ought to maintain herself; but
the was the greatest imposter in London, and hail been
in custody before for the some offence. The prisoner
adiuitted she had had three months' imprisonment (roan
thin court, but that was some years ago, when her
husband wan alive. She only got a shilling a day by her
dividends. Hewitt said he had a witness who would
prove that the primner was a nand deterniined liegger,
and that she had expressed her intention to continue
I lagging until ehe could incream her capital so as to
yield her El per week, upon which she meant to retire
auto private life. The prisoner whined a great deal, and
beeged forgiveness; but did not utter any promise to
refrain from the life of imposition she was leading.
Alderman Carter said he was afraid the prisoner was a
great imposter, and lie should treat her as one ; for it
was quite clear that, being the possessor of valuable
property, and in the receipt of dividends /amounting to
even Isi per day, she could not be suffering from distress.
He therefore committed the prisoner for twenty-or.e
days, with hard labour.

SHAMEFUL CASK Or SEDUCTION AND DMERTION AT
LEKUS.—On Monday a decent and rather prepossessing-
looking young woman, named Mary Ord, aged twenty,
applied to the magistrates at tho Town Hall, through
the chief constable, for their advice and assistance
under the following circunistanou :—She stated that she
was the daughter of • collier living at Shine.ldle, near
Durham, and that a young man who had lodged with
them had, under the promise of marriage, induced her
to leave her home and accompany him to Liverpool.
They arrived inLeeda on Saturday too late to be married,
but lie persuaded her to stay with him at Mrs. Gibeon's
Temperance Coffee House, Mill Hill, as his wife. On
the following morning lie went out for • walk, and as he
did not return she went to the railway station, thinking
that he might have gone there to look after the luggage.
She then discovered that he had left for Liverpool by
the train, taking her things along with his own, and
leaving her entirely destitute. Having no money she
applied to the chief constable, who provided for her
during the night, and on Monday he brought the case
before the Bench. They desired him to write to the
girl's parents, and on Tuesday she wan sent home, an
allowance being made to her out of the poor box. She
bail never before, with one exception, been more than
seven miles from home.
TIM MTSTKRIOUS CHILD MURDER AT MBOYLIIDIN.
—At the county magistrates' court, Aahtun•under-Lyrie,
on Wednesday, Nancy Arindeld, • woman apparently
about thirty.six or thirty-eight years of age, was brought
up by Superintendent Ludlum, who apprehended her
in Roxburghshire. Scotland, charged with having, on
the 20th September. thrown her infant child, Samuel.
into the Ashton canal, whereby it wu drowned. In
opening the case, Mr. Ludlum remarked that there was
another prisoner, a man named Shepperl, the reputed
fut.,m of the murdered child, but he had no evidence
against him, and he therefore applied for his discharge,
which was immediately granted. After some evidence
had been taken, the following confession made by the
prisoner to the police was reed : On Thursday night, it
would be between seven and eight o'clock—it was the
Thursday before I left Newton—l met Sbepperd on the
Mopley.road. 1 gave him my child. He said he would
do well to it. I ran away crying, and took the tens
minutes to eight o'clock train from Charles.town station
to Park Station, at Newton. There was a lusty man in
the train who asked use what I was crying about. He
had on • dirty white apron, and a large can. He sells
balm, 1 think. I told him I had a chance child, and
had left it with its father. My sister made • false bed
and child to deceive her husband, and told me if Sarah
Jane were to ask where the child was, I
was to say my sister Mary had the child. When I
' gave it to "Ginger," it had a soft white hood, a little
" pinny," and white shirt on. James Sliepperd
deposed : I sin a miuer. The last time I saw the
prisoner was on Friday night about the 18th of August.
I She lied the three children with her. I believe lam
the father of her youngest child. I have green her
I about 151, towards its maintenance. On the last
occasion of my seeing her I gave her se. She came on
Monday night, and stayed until Friday night. She
wanted me to agree to pay Is. SI per week, as it WU a
trouble to her. She never asked me to take the child.
She said she could get a situation if she had not got the
child.—The clerk to prisoner: "You are charged with
throwing the child into the water and drowning it. and
you can put any questions to this witness." Addressing
the witness, she said : "Now Jim' I met thee between
Hurst and Dukinlield on the Thursday night."—Wite
nese : "No, you did not." Prisoner: "And I said,
"Jim, I have no home for my child; I have no
petticoats for it, and you told me you would
tabs the child, and make
.it • hAue,' and

I ran away. It was on the Thursday night
three weeks ago." "No, you did
not."—Prisoner—" Jim, tell the truth ; whether for
me or against me tell the truth. I will." NVitneva—
" I have told the truth." Prisoiler—" When thou lived
with me and my husband that six weeks, didn't thou
get two pennyworth of sugar of lead to give to nay
husband? 'Witness hissed at her, and said, "Art !boa

not aalmined of thy...3lf and to the Bench he added,
" When I went to lodge with her and her husband at
Chapel•en-le-Frith I bought the boil to lie upon for
them, and was to have lodged free until my lodgings
would amount to the price paid for the bed, and her
hatband gut jealous, and I thought it was time to
leave. Prisoner--He had occasion to be jealous. Wit-
ness—No, he had not then. The Bench consulted a•
short time, when the chairman read the usual caution
to the prisoner, who then said, "I am innocent—God
knows I min this day." The chairman—'• You stand
committed to take your trial at the next IliaßiZeS at
Liverpool." Prisoner—' Yes, or, I gave my child to
him." Or. the clerk binding the witnesses over to give
evidence, the chairman said, "We shall require the
man tillepperd to find two sureties of FAO each for Isis
appearance, besides his own recogniasoces of £100."

SOMSTHING TO GEIST, sT. A dignitary of the
Church of England, residing in Glamorganshire, had a
remarkably pleasant cast of countenattee when preach-
ing, upon which lie was occasionally complimented by
his clerical and other friends. He protested, however,
that he incite any effort towards • smile, but, on
the contrary, while preaching, his endeavour always was
to look as serious as possible, and that the smile was
involuntary. On one occasion when his happy counte-
nance had been more beaming than usual, an intimate
friend asked for an explanotiou. "I could not help it,"
said he, "1 cannot look round the church without seine
reminiscence 'invoking a smile." His friend having
inquired if he had any objection to explain the parti-
cular cause of his cheerful animation daring the deli-
very of that evening's dimourre : " Not the least," re-
plied the clergyman,—"not the least: did you notice
that demurs-looking gentleman who rat in the seat
before you, and who looks as gloomy as if he had just
met with seine great calamity. I was moiling at an
incident that occurred • few days ago. He is a draper
and funeral furnisher for mit parish. Having heard
that he was greatly distressed by the loss of a relation,
who I knew had left him • handsome legacy, I called on
him and found him in a most desponding state of mind.
While endeavouring to administer the consolations of
religion to him. I remarked how much, even in this
dark dispensation, he had to be thankful for." "It is
no use, said the draper, "it is n use, sir, I shall
neves be happy again; she left me more than I
expected, and I shall not mind her lows, for she was a
very uncertain customer, but the emaciate's, air, the
executers have actually given the funeral away to •
Cardiff man."
