on Tuesday, for the manalaughtee of • female child,

woe allowed to roam about the nursery, and was en-
, trusted with the washing and dressing of the deceased

house, and filled a boaket with boiling water. She
brought ths pail up to the infant ward, and plunged the
r poor little baby's body in it. That was her idea of wash•
ing the infant. It needot drying atterwards ; and
although it screamed dreadfully, the Idiot scrubbed it
with a rough towel, causing the skin to peel off. le a
feel days the baby died from the injuries it had received.
The girl was aminitted ; but no no inimendation was
made by the jury that she slionkl be consigned to as

extensive buainess in Japan as a merchant, has
presumably made plenty of money them, and he came
some time ago to this country to indulge in what young
eentlemen of Bohemian tendencies term a "spree."
He filed on the pleasant county of Kent for hts abode,
and earned on the highest of "Poke" at Dover, Canter-
bury, and Margate. On Monday, the 16th instant, the
"Japanese gentleman," taking hie pleaaure in the
vicinity of Canterbury, met tgree affable persons named
Evans, Hulse, and Blake. Thus friendly wanly
adjourned with the yokel from Yokohama to • tavern
at Canterbury, where it was eventually proposed that
• converse should be enlivened by play. "Three
lilt'. thimbles and one small pea" have gone out of
: but some attendee spirit Was at the heck and
call of Messrs. Evans and Co., and provided them with
• portable roulette-table. The disc revolved, the ball
rattled its capricious round ; the illustrious stranger
was enchanted; it must have been almost as nice as a
gambling *inset in a Japanese teahouse. To be
@ere, " the Japanese gentleman" lost aortae twelve or
fifteen pounds ; but, as we have already hinted
perhaps he liked it. You must pay for peeping; anti
• forcible Scottish proverb tells a. that "They mien
has a tang Beene wba up bro.@ ari' the De it." It
chanced, however, that the Japanese gentleman had •
AMA servant who did not by •ny means appreciate the
lively game of toulette. Perhaps he had privately
ventured sixpence on zero while his Stealer was not

events, this nigger went not and gave information to
the police that his muter was being swindled. Straight-
way • Wary

Asesteo their when of throne, found upon them @dry
pounds in money and other gambling implementa, and
locked them up for the night. They have a seminary
way of doing things in the county of Kent. Summary,
however, as the procednrs may be in the province of
hops, apples, and pretty women, the Canterbury
police and the Canterbury jostles' contrived to commit
a series of blunders by means of which Mesera. Swans
and Co. managed to get off scot free, while the
“Japanese gentleman" was pat to mash undeserved in-
convenience, and on the whole was treated as though
he had Mien the duper rather than the duped: if any-

private room and paid for it. It au. of Me owe free
will that the "Japueee gentleman" lambed his luck;
roulette is • guns of chance, but not Decessarily a
fraudulent one ; and it is not contrary to the statute,
we apprehend, for Tom Rakewell to play blind hookey
with Ferdinand Count Fathom and the honourable
Algernon Damao, in his own chambers, or to ruin I.lw-
self at Van John in a private room. Diseovering that
the thaw of public gambling weld 004 be enotained,
the polies changed their tactics and accused the
three men under the Vagrant Act. But
then was nothing to show per Sc that they were
'agnate and the possession of sixty pounds, in Flinty
Money, is against the theory of vagraney rather than
otherwie. The "J a panne gen•lensan," deelining to
appear, Evans and his oompaniona were remanded
but the ovetmealous police &easily arrested the "Jap,"
took him out of his carriage on a public racecourse, and
held him arid his darkmomplexioniol ierviint to bail to
prosecutes charge which be bad never made. These high-
handed doings remind id of the curious Isgal prouder*
said to have once obtained in the state of Alabama,
where, in a murder ease, the practice of the wounding
magistrate was to liberate the accused on parole, and
consign all the witnesses to gaol until the day of trial.
Fell advantage of the stupid mismanagement of the
Canterbury authorities was taken by the astute Mr.
Montagu Williams, a gentleman exceedingly cunning
of fence and fertile in expedients, who would have been
precisely the kind of advocate filed upon by the attorney
In "Great Expectations" to defend the gentleman "in
trouble on a anthpicion of plate." Mr. Williams did his
beat for his clients Evans, Harden, and Blake, browbeat
the justices, demolished the police, and enabled the
three Canterbury Pilgrims, who Lad the roulette wheel
between them, to leave the city of St. Thomas
Bookett rejoicing. But there was another pereonage to
be reckoned with—tn wit, the "Japanese gentleman.•
He was furious. He addressed the Bench indignantly.
He said that be had been abducted from his carriage on
a racecourse, taken to the station.huse, and treated
worse than any criminal. His expenses had @treacly
exceeded ten pounds • day, and he should be compelled
to prolong his stay in thiseountry for several days more,
since, through the action of the police, be and his
servant had lost their p mug, to Japan. The " Japanese
gentleman" forgot that he was bound to prosecute.- if
any plea for prosecution there Wal—" on public
grounds;" although in this respect he might have shared
the "pinion of the Irish genUernsu who observed that
he had never got as much as a potato out of the ground•
of the pnblic, though be was taxed for keeping them
op, and that in future the public grounds Might take
care of theme' yea. The Mayor salit he was very Forry,
but he end, mood that the *Rhesus were the
country ; on which tin "Japanci• gentleman" annealed
out of the curt, declaring that be would plane the
matter In the hands of his London solicitors. He bad
much betternot do anything of the kind. We would advise
him to go hack to Japan by the very next steamer.
A. for the three Canterbury Pilgrims, Evans, Darden,
and Blake, it strikes us that they, thanks to the
atopidity of the Kentish police, are " well out of it."
