AT BRIERLEY HILL.

At Brie*ley Hill Police Court on Monday, before
F. i • Henry Lambert, Mr. H. Hall, and Mr. H.
Payne, Ellen Wilson, alias Passmore, alias Barker,
au i ,s Edwards, was charged on remand with obtain-
ing .e 7 by false pretences from George Palmer,
grocer, Kingswinford.—The prosecutor repeated his
evidence of last week. Defendant advertised in a
a local paper for a loan of £7, and he lent the
amount on the promise of .23 interest. He lent
the amount believing she was a lady in good position,
and that the French coupons she offered as security
were of value. She said they were worth £35, and
she would bring back the money and interest in a
week. He had not seen her since January, when
the transaction took place. The bonds or coupons
w, re of no value.—Police-sergeant Gilbride said he
rec ived the prisoner into custody from the Derby
po ice. She had in her possession a French "bond"
and 3s. 30. in money also four letters relating to
ad vertisements in a Derby paper. One of them was
fr _na a Mr. Rice, of Darby, offering to lend £l2 if
tin security was good. When charged at the police
station prisoner said "Yes Sir, they hold the bond :
if there is anything wrong with that it is a myite. y
to me." She also asked if Mr. Palmer had found
the bond to be of no value, and witness replied
that he had. This, she said, could only have
happened if he had sent the papers to France.—
Superintendent Woollaston said he had ascertained
t :at prisoner had never lived at Hawley as she
stated. When formally charged on Monday,
prisoner said "I am innocent of borrowing the
money. I thought—l mean I had the money from
Mr. Palmer, but thought he was well secured by the
bond."—The Bench committed prisoner for trial at
the Stafford Sessions.

HOLKAJI'S OPINION OF LONDON*

In the course of his interview with the correspon-
dent of the limes of Indict, in which he complained of
his trestment here, Holkar also gave his opinion on
London. He complained of the heat of the welther,
and said London was a fine city, but he thought
there was room for many improvements. For instance,
Hyde-park and Kensington-gardens would be more
attractive if fashioned after the style of the Parisian
boulevards. He considered the illuminations very
poor, and said they were not to be compared with
those in India on the Prince of Wales's visit. He went
to a London theatre, but did not think the perform-
ance equal to that at the Opera in Paris. He was much
pleased with Paris, but would have enjoyed it more
had he possesled a knowledge of French. He did not
enjoy the return vo3 age, the weather be.ng tr)ing and
his fellow passengers uninteresting.

SCENE IN THE HOUSE.

The House then resumed in Committee of Supply the
consideration of the Irish Votes in the Civil Service
Estimates. On the Vote for the expenses of the house-
hold of the Lord. Lieutenant a discussion of several
hours occurred. A Motion by Mr. Dillon to
reduce the Vote by the amount of the Private
Se.cretary's salary was negatived by 115 to 60,
Mr. Biggar, amid the laughter of his Irish colleagues,
moved the reduction of the Vote by the amount of
the item for the Queen's Plates, and pledged himself,
amid more laughter from his colleagues, to divide the
House if he could find a teller. He obtained a teller,
and was defeated in the lobby by 116 to 23, after which
the Vote was agreed to without a division. The next
Vote related to the salaries and expenses of the Chief
Secretary's department. An extremely personal,
abusive, and bitter series of attacks was made upon
Mr. Balfour and Colonel King-Harman by the Irish
members. The Chairman had to intervene with
great frequency with the view of keeping the
debate within the limits of Parliamentary pro-
priety, and it was generally with extreme re•
luctance that they yielded to the resolute firmness of
Mr. Courtney, and withdrew the personal insults which
they levelled at the two officials named.—Mr. Healy
moved the reduction of the Vote by £2OOO, which would
probably have been the salary of Colonel King-Harman
if he had been paid for his services.—Mr. Balfour and
Mr. W. H. Smith vindicated the appointment of Colonel
King• Harman, and bore testimony to the value of his
services.—On a division, the motion was negatived by
113 to 52.
The discussion was resumed on the General Vote,
and Mr. Sexton, in a speech of an hour's duration,
attacked the policy of the Crimes Act and of the Pro.
olamation.—Mr. Balfour replied, and the discussion was
continued for some time.

THE LATE RIOTS AT OSTEND.

Monday's Independence Be7ge has an article on the
fishery question at Ostend, in which it denounces those
who take advantage of the present troubled relations
between the fishermen of the two countries, to suggest
that the Belgian ports should henceforth be dosed to
English fishermen, and say that it is much to be re-
gretted that these intrigants should encourage an
ignorant population to such outrage!. For the last
seven years fish has been freely admitted into Bel-
gium, on the suggestion of the late minister, M.
Frere-Orban. The IncUpendenee cannot let pass
without protest the stupid protectionist measure
which the Commercial Association of Ostend has
before it, especially as it appears to be due to emne
trick of the clericals, looking for an electoral revenge.
A correspondent, writing on Monday night, says
that Ostend remains quiet, and that there appears to
be ery little danger of any fresh outbreak at
present. The intimation conveyed to the owners and
captains of English vessels in regard to their bring-
ing their fish to Ostend only partakes, however, of
the nature of a caution, and will not prohibit vessels
taking this course. As a matter of fact, the salesman
have encouraged the trade for years, and as to the
so-called glut of fish, and the consequent fall in
prices,
ces the markets at Ostend suffer no more in this
respect than the English markets. .On the wiser
hand, it is pretty generally known to those in the
business that higher prices are very frequently ob-
tained here than at Billingsgate, and following the
law of supp:y and demand this accounts to a very
great extent for the English vessels conveying their
fish there in common with French boats, which
frequently visit that port on the same foot-
ing as the English. There is no doubt that
the secret of the whole matter lies in the
disturbances which are constantly taking place
in the North Sea and in other fishing grounds,
and unless there be some legislative interference, it is
thought that these disturbances may assume a wore
serious form. The funeral of the otber two men who
died from the bullet wounds inflicted in the riots,
took place on Sunday, and was made the occasien of
much sympathy being shown. The other men who
were wounded are progressing favourably. Au effort
is to be made to raise funds for the widows and chil-
dren of the men who were killed, by means of enter-
tainments' &c. The authorities do not consider it
necessary for the military to patrol the quays now.
There are still a good number of Belgian fishibc
smacks at Ostend.

Mr. Peter C. Bell, owner of the Ramegate smack
Belie of the Fleet, received a telegram from Mr.
King-Harman, M.P., asking him to meet him in
London, and stating that the Foreign Office would
assist him in a civil action against the master and
, nwner of the o.tend trawler, No. 37, for damage done

A NECKLACE OF HUMAN FIE GEES.

A relic of Indian barbarism was received at the War
Department at Washington a few days ago. It con-
sisted of a necklace of human fingers. Originally
there were 11 fingers, strung together after the manner
of necklaces of bear's claws, but three of them had
been lost. This ghastly adornment was captured in
an attack on the Northern Cheyennes in 1876, and
each linger repreimated a life taken by the owner, the
"big medicine man "of the tribe. The fingers had
been preserved by opening the skin, removing the
bones, scraping away all the tissues and fatty sub-
stances, replacing the bones, and subjecting the skin
to some tanning process. The necklace was sent to
Wes ',l Point by Captain Bourke, who is now engaged
in preparing some historical matter relating to the
Indians. It was brought from West Point in order
that it might be reproduced in papier-mAchO at the
Smithsonian Instittition.

MR. LOWTHER ON IRELAND.

Mr. J. W. Lowther, M.P., speaking at Orton, West.
moreland, on Tuesday, said, referring to the political
situation, that the question at issue was whether Ire-
land was to be governed by her Majesty's Government
or by Mr. Parnell and the National League, and the
sooner they arrived at the head of the crisis the
better. This great question had to be fought out,
and it would be better if they reached the struggle
that must inevitably come at once. If they were
prepared to hand over the government of Ireland to
Moonlighters and midnight assassins then let it be
done and let the separation take place; but he believed
that it was to the interest of the people of Ireland that
the National League should be proclaimed, and that a
strong use should be made of the weapon granted by
Pariiament. They did not, as parties, differ in their
rpinion about the League, and two years ago Mr.
Gl tdstone did the same thing in reference to the
League as was being done to-day. Sir William Har-
court, whom they called the "Buffalo Bill" of the
Radical party, had lately been on the war trail, but
they remembered how on a celebrated occasion Sir
William expounded the doctrine cf the Land League
and Mr. Parnell as one of treason and assassination.
These very men were now Sir William's friends, and
the English people were told that the National
League must not be proclaimed because it was onlY
a registration association, and not nearly so hurtful
as the Primrose League. In concluding, the speaker
said that the Government, in spite of the most um
scrupulous and determined opposition, had been able
to carry measures that would be a deep and lasting
benefit to the country. A. vote of confidence intthe
Government was carried.

OH, how small a portion of earth will hold us when
we are dead, who ambitiously seek after the whole
world while w e are living.

ATTEMPT TO DROWN THREE
CHILDREN.

Before Mr. D'Eyncourt, at the Westminster
Police-court on Monday afternoon, Kate Campbell
28, a respectably-dressed, married woman, living at
Albany-street, Battersea, was placed in the dock
charged on remand with attempting to drown her
three children, aged respectively six years, three
years, and six months old, and to destroy her own
life. On Sunday, the 19th June, at half-past ten at
night, the accused was observed, on Chelsea Suspen-
sion-bridge. She had placed her- children on the
balustrade of the bridge, and was about to push them
into the water when ehe was prevented doing
so by a young couple who were attracted to
her by the crying of the children. Prisoner was
heard to exclaim, "Do let us; we'll all go over
together." Prisoner, who had been at the House of
Detention for a week, and appeared more calm and
collected now, said she never intended to injure the
life of her children or that of herself, and that she
merely told her husband she would do so in order to
frighten him. Police-constable 447 B said the pri-
soner told him she tried to drown herself on the pre-
vious Friday, but was prevented. She was under the
impression that her husband was about the neigh-
bourhood squandering his wages in drink. The pri-
soner, in asking the magistrate to forgive her this
time, promised never to attempt such a thing in the
future. The constable informed his worship that the
prisoner's husband had not been seen or heard of
since the occurrence. Mr. D'Eyncourt accepted
her landlady's bail for her good behaviour for BiY
months.

was held on Mesa iy, under the presidency of Mr.
J. Wright. The following t.2eders for the supply of

beef 61, mutton (id., and suet 4d. per lb. The
Cliairinan said he had had an intervie v with the
urinager of the Broinsgr.)vo branch of the Birming-
ham Banking Company, who had represented to
hi:ii that as the Biard had overdrawn the'r account
to such serious amounts for such a lon; time his
dire.:tors thought the maLter should be brought
under the Board's notice. On June 4 the overdraft
amounted to £1,021. The Bank were unable to
ti make any charges in respect to the overdraft.
It aopeared that it was owing to the remiss :Elf_33 of
the -Assistant Overseers of smie of the parishes in
collecting the rates that the account became ove:--

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

LAND TRANSFER.

The Hozsi or LORDS was engaged during the greatet
part of its sitting on June 27th in considering in Corn.
mittee the clauses of the Land Transfer Bill on recom.
mitment. A few verbal and technical amendments
were inserted, and the bill, having passed through
Committee, was ordered to be reported to the House.

EGYPTIAN CONVENTION.

In the COMMONS, Sir J. Ferguson stated that the
Porte had expressed a strong wish that the ratification
of the Egyptian Convention should be postponed until
Monday next, and her Majesty's Government had
thought it right to accede to the request.
Stourbridge, West Midlands, England, 1887-07-02

IRISH CRIME.

The House then proceeded to consider the Criminal
Law Amendment (Ireland) Bill as amended. ' A new
clause, moved by Mr. E. Robertson, providing that the
Act might be repealed by an Order in Council,
received no support, and was negatived after a brief
reply by the Chief Secretary.
Mr. Morley next moved the introduction of a clause
providing that the duration of the Act be limited to
three years. He contended that every Coercion Bill
which England had passed against Ireland, before the
time Gf the Union and since, had been limited in point
of time, and the present Government was the first
Government that had the shameful courage to propose
exceptional legislation without providing that it should
be temporary in its duration.
The Attorney-General pointed out that if the bill was
unlimited no Coercion Bill had ever been framed with
the same safeguards as the present measure.
Mr. Gladstone maintained that the special character
of the enactments of the bill was a sufficient reason for
giving it limited operation.
Mr. A. J. Balfour asked whether the past policy of
scAricting Coercion Bills had proved a success or not.
The truth was that no one could foresee how long a
bill would be required.
After some further discussion a division was taken
according to the new plan suggested by Mr. Ritchie,
with the result that a House of 180 against the Clause
and 119 for it was polled in seven minutes; the second
reading of the Clause being defeated by, a majority
of 61.
Several new Clauses which stood in the name of Mr.
Chance were debated at considerable length, and de.
fasted on divisions by large majorities.

THE MAYORALTY OF DUBLIN.

--
Mr. Parnell has been called upon to arbi'rate in the
dispute between Messrs. Gill and Sexton, as to who
should be Lord Mayor of Dublin next term. On
Monday morning a letter from Mr. Parnell to Mr.
Gill was published, in which he said: "I greatly
regret that any member of the Parliamentary party
should have been placed in a position of antagonism
to one of his colleagues, and I think it would conduce
to harmou in our ranks if you could see your way
to reconsider your decision in accepting the nomina-
tion." Mr. Gill then writes to the Lord Mayor: "I
think it my duty to apprise you without delay of my
intention to adopt the suggestion contained in Mr.
Parnell's letter, and have therefore to request you
will kindly convene a meeting of the National party
in the Corporation at; an early date to receive my
resignation, and to provide for the selection of a can-
didate in my stead.'

IMPORTANT TO TRUSTEES.

In the case of Magnus v. the Queensland National
Bank, tried in the Chancery Division on Saturday.
before Mr. Justice Kay, a question arose as to which
of two innocen' p trties should bear the loss of .ElBlB
Brighton 4 pc. Debenture Stock, occasioned by an
absconding trustee. The plantiffs were Sir Phillip
Aagnus and Mr. P. B. Ilalforel, the tru-tees of the
marriage settlement of the Countess D'Ayigdor, and
they alleged that owing to the negligence of the bank
their co-trusree has been enabled to tell the stock and
appropriate the proceeds. I claim against the London,
Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company was dis-
missed by content. On the 27th January, 1882, Bartle
George Goldsmid, a stockbroker, the co-Um-tee of the
plaintiff, borrowed .C 50,000 from the bank for himself.
The three trustees then executed a transfer of £7BlB
Brighton Stock to Messrs. Buchanan and Smith, as
trustees for the bank. In February, 1882, the loan
of the bank to Goldsmid was paid off. The bank
then by the direction of Buchanan and Smith,
without communication with the plaintiffs, trans-
ferred the stock to a purchaser from Goldsmid
and handed the certificate to him. • Goldsmid
invested the purchase stoney in his own name in
£B7OO North Eastern Railway Preference stock,
which he sold in 1883. Goldsmid appropriated the
prOceeie, and on March 19,1885, absconded and was
declared bankrupt. Mr. Ice, QC., and. Mr. George
Henderson appeared for the plaintiffs Mr. Right-,
QC., and Mr. Farwell for the bank; Mr. Renshaw,
Q.C., and „me. Ing'o Joyce for the Londqn. BriAton,
and South Coastitailway Company. Mrr.Justice Kay
said that the sale of the stock to the purchaser was
without any authority of the co-tru•teos of Goldstoirl,
therefore the no ion of the bat.k in permitting their
truscees to assign the legal interest in the stock and
part with the certificate was a distinct breach of their
du,y io the three inortga,gers. Goldsmid had no
auitliority to cell exoept to the bank. The plaintiffs in
emplosiog Goldswid had acted in the ordinary course
if business, and bad not beep auiity of negligence.
The ca.iists wAtti.,thit dishonesty , of
Cloldstnit), brit the opportunity was gifen him by the
breach of duty of the hank. In his lordship's opinion
the b ink were liable to repay the value of the stock.

RAILWAY TRAGEDY IN FRANCE.

The Paris correspondent of the Standard telegraphs
A crime surrounded with great mystery has been com-
mitted on the Chemin de Fer de Ceinture, between
the Batignolles and Courcellea Levallois Stations. On
the arrival at the latter station of the train which
left St. Lazar° Station at ten o'clock at night, a well-
dressed young man was found lying in a pool of blood,
in a first-class carriage. His face was swollen and
his skull fractured. He was unconsciops at the
time, but being taken out of the train and placed
on a bench in the station, he stitEciently
recovered to give his name and address.
They were M. _ Amat, Rue Medicis. He was
conveyed to the Hospital of La Charit6, and his
condition has slightly improved. No one has yet
been arrested on suspicion of having committed the
crime. It is supposed that it was an act of ven-
geance, as the victim was found in the possession of
his money and jewels. Up to the present moment
the attitude of the victim is most mysterious.
Thcugh he is conscious at intervals and able to speak,
he refuses to say anything about what happened to
him during the three minutes the train took to get
from Batignolles to Courcelles Levallois. In order
to induce him to break silence one of M. Amat's most
inthnate friends went to him pretending that he was
suspected of the crime, and implored him to speak to
save him. This stratagem, however, failed like others
had done before. All M. Amat would say was, "I will
tell you later on."

THE COMMEMORATION
OF

HER MAJESTY'S JUBILEE.

LETTER FROM THE QUEEN.
A supplement to the London Gazette was published
on Saturday, containing the following letter from the
Queen, received by the Secretary of State for the
Home Department:
Windsor Castle, June 24, 1887.
I AM anxious to express to My people My warm
thanks for the kind, and more than kind, reception I
met with on going to and returning from, Westminster
, Abbey with all My Children and Grand-Children.
_

The enthusiastiereception I met with then, as well
as on all these eventful days, in London as well as in
Windsor, on the occasion of My Jubilee has touched
Me most deeply. It has shown that the labour and
anxiety of 50 long years, 22 of which I spent in un-
clouded happiness shared and cheered by My beloved
Husband, while an equal number were full of sorrows
and trials borne without His sheltering arm and wise
help, have been appreciated by My People.
This feeling and the sense of duty towards My dear
Country and Subjects, who ara so inseparably bound
up with My life, will encourage Me in My task, often
a very difficult and arduous one, during the remainder
of My life.

The wonderful order preserved on this occasion and
the good behaviour of the enormous multitudes
assembled merits My highest admiration.
That God may protect and abundantly bless My
Country is My fervent prayer.

were not in possession of the contents of the note
alleged to have been addressed by the French Govern-
ment to the Sultan in reference to the ratification of

on the subject been made to them by the French
Government. He declined to give any information as
to what had passed between her Majesty's Government
and the Parte until the negotiations were concluded.
The right hon. baronet added, in answer to Mr. Cony-
beare, that there was no ground for the assumpticu
that the Convention would entangle this country in

IRISH CRIME.

The consideration of the report of amendments to
the Irish Crimes Bill having been resumed, a new clause,
proposed by Mr. M. Healy, entitling a prisoner tried

negatived by 208 to 130.
A number of other new clauses, proposed by Mr. M.
Healy and Mr. Chance, relating to procedure to
criminal trials, were subsequently considered and
negatived, and eventually consideration of the bill was
adjourned.
After the adjournment of the debate, Mr. W. H.
Smith gave notice that on Thursday he would move a
motion applying the Closure to all subsequent amend-
ments at seven p.m. on Monday.
