sitting by the gate of the Parsonage, apparently in a
dying state. Her face was covered with blood. He assisted
her to his house and then went after the prisoner. He
knocked several titne.4. and when he got admission he
asked pri,oner wat 1d b -en the matter? Prisoner
said his wif, had falle, down stairs, and he denied that
he bad stru-k or kicked 11,e. lie tonic prisoner to his
house, and confronted him ,vith his wife, and made a
statement to the effect of that given above, as to The way
in which the pi isoner ;lad tre aed her. Prisoner denied
having a.,saulted her, and again asserted that she had
fallen down stairs, Matthews afterwards inspected the
prisoner's house, and found marks of blood under the
bed and in the bed room, and all the way down stairs.
The stairs had apparently been wiped with a cloth.—Mr.
W. Cowen, surgeon, stated that he examined Mrs. Davies
and found a large wound on the side of the face, and the
skin was knock off the forehead in several places. It was
one mass of broken surface. There were two. wounds on
the scalp, and another on the cheek. The wounds might
have been caused by kicking.—The prisoner, when called
for his defence, again asserted that the woman had been
injured by falling downstairs.—The magistrates corn-
mitted him to hard labour for three months, and said he
must fine sureties to keep the peace for three months
after the expiration of the imprisonment.

KIDDERMINSTER BOARD OF GUARDIANS.

The fortnightly meetinc, of this Board was held
on Tuesday; Mr. J. KiteLy in the chair.
Application was made to the Board to grant an
outfit for two little girls for whom nominations to
the Crowley Orphan Asylum at Birmingham had
been obtained. They form two of a family of five
children in the house, who are fatherless and
motherless. The youngest child was stated to be
dying, but the others were called before the Board,
and their intelligent and interesting appearance
appeared to strike all present. The outfit was
granted to the two children, and the Chairman
said he would see if he could not secure the ad-
mission of the other children to an orphan asylum
at Worcester. The Board commended the uncle
of tile children, a porter at Hartlebury Station, for.,
the action he has been taking on their behalf. -
Three applicants presented themselves for the
office of porter at the workhouse. The choice Of
the Board fell on John Christie, a soldier recently
discharged from the 79th Highlanders with a
good-conduct pension.
The Chairman said the Board were aware that a, -
short time ago they decided to give the aged poor
an increase of fid. per week during the winter.
When they did that they thought they were not •
infringing any Act in force; but Mr. Knott, the ,
district auditor, must have caught his eye upon a
newspaper leport of what they had done, and in
writing to the clerk upon several other matters
he said: "I suppose you are aware that before in-
creasing the allowance of relief to paupers there .
must be an application from them beforehand to
make it a legal charge upon the poor rates; other-
wise it partakes of the character of a gift. and
cannot be allowed. I have had to disallow in
several such instances." The Chairman said he
considered there had been a verbal application be. J.‘
fore the resolution was passed. The auditor might
have written to ask if application had been made,
but be took if for granted there was no application.
The Rev. R. P. Turner: I think it a most unjusti-
fiable interference, myself. The Chairman said
if Mr. Knott had seen they had been giving to
ablebodied persons not qualified in the ordinary •
way for relief, it would have been an act of kind- -
ness to have told them, Mr,. Turner said he
questioned if the auditor did not think they were -
giving the money to everybody over sitty-five
years, whether a pauper or not. The conversation
ultimately dropped.
It was reported there were 240 inmates in the
house, against 215 in the same week last year.
The out-door relief for the last fortnight amounted
to .2168. 10s. 34d.

DD DLEY.
HOWIE ST E ALING.—At the Worcester Epiphany
Sessions, on Tuesday, before Mr. R. H. Harrington,
Henry Jones (17), labourer, was charged with stealing a
gelding, the pr verty of Samuel Bunn, at Dudley, on
October 5. Mr. Cooke appeared for the proseestioa, sad
Mr. Griffiths for the defence.—Prosecutor, a butty collier,
living at Cradlev, sent a man named Joseph Mullett to
Dudley Fair with two geldings for sale. At the fair '
Mullett gotinto the company of two men, and sold one of
the geldings to them for £45. He went with these men
into a public-house, at the same time leaving the gelding f
in charge of a lad named Ward. Whilst he was in the
house the prisoner, who had been holding a roan pony,
went up to Ward, knocked him down, jumped on the
back of the gelding immediately decamped without pay-
ing for it, and neither they nor the horse had since been
heard of. Prisoner had been seen in company of the
men, and one of them was heard to say to him. " When
we get in you take the horse." The pony which prig onto
left behind had been purchased by two men from a far-
mer at Warley Wigorn for £5., and prisoner had fetched
its few days before Dudley fair. Prisoner was appre-
hended in Birmingham on the Thursday following, wheu
he denied all knowledge of the matter.—ln defence, Sir.
Griffiths submitted that prisoner had been the dupe of
two swindlers.— Fle was found guilty, and having several
prior convictions recorded against him, he was sentenced
to twelve months' hard labour, and five years' police
supervision.
