KIDDKRMINSTER.

Tias LAM CHARGE OF EIEBRISZLEXErr.—At the WOl.
seater Sessions. on Tuesday, Una Rees Joelsom woe
charged with embezzling the sum of 15a ea the 17th el
October, and the sum of 3s on the 18th of October, the
money, of Mr. John Southan, the elder, her siaskr,
Ridderminater.—Mr. Jelf, who appeared for the prow*.
tin,, said that although Messrs. Southan in the fret in.
stance cozeidered themselveo justified to tette proceed.
tugs, circumstance. had since come to their ksoeledge
which had enabled them honourably and properly to
withdraw from the prosecution. They had in the hret
place thought it only right to protect the interests of the
trade and the interests of those in their employmtnlbi
. 'eking the proceedingo.—Mr. Streeten, who .
for the defence, said Miss Jackson did not complain of
the Bourse M .Southan had taken, but ahe had all
through protected her innocence, and did so still.—The
learned Chairman allowed the prosecution to be with-
drawn, and • verdict of not guilty was found.
PREBENTATION.—On Monday a presentation, in which
the Masonic body of this town and neighbourhood took
chief part, took place, viz., the presentation to the Kid-
derminster Infirmary of a magnificent cloth, of the value
of between £4O and £5O. The brethren, before com-
mencing the proceedings connected with their anniver-
sary, which is always held on this day, walked up to the
Infirmary, where they were met by the Vicar, the Bev.
G. D. Boyle, chairman; and the Provincial Grand Mas-
ter, Mr. J. B. Wood, in suitable language made the pre-
sentation, and Mr. Boyle, on behalf of the Governors of
the Infirmary, expressed the pleasure it gave him to ac-
cept so handsome and valuable • donation to the indite-
tion, and cordially thanked the brethren for the present
and for the manner in which it had been presented.

BRUTAL MURDER OF AN OLD MAN.

The enurt of desive at fy., a hae tried three men named
Vuillard, Ferret, aTal Nu6e, hr tla murder of Patrirot, an
old etreet-porter, ygain of age, wider the following eircum-
stanea:—_

The body of the deceased woo found sewed up in
a sack, lying by the roadside in the environs of the
town, one morning in May last. As he was in most
humble circumstances, robbery had evidently not besn
the motive for the crime. and, an he was a harmless man
not known to have excited any enmity the police had
for a moment a difficulty in raining a clue to the guilty
parties. Afters minute investigation, however, they suc-
ceeded in tracing the crime to the three prisoners and
bringing them to justice. Vulliari was the proprietor
of a rag, and had been summoned to answer • charge
of defrauding a gas company by means of a conduct
concealed under Kin counter. Ihe pipe had been pur-
chased and carried to the caft by Patricot, who WA to
appear as a witness, but, on the day before that fixed
for the hearirg of the case, he disappeared. Vuillard
was nevertheless condemned to eight montlia' its prison-
ment and 2,0001. tine.
. _ .

The evi &rice showed that this man induced the
two other accused to asst him in getting rid of
Patricot, whose ecidence he feared, although they
bad not the slightest interest in taking part in such
a crime. The hulls.. of Nuke, which is an isolated
spot, was chosen for the deed, and, to decoy the
porter there, be was employeet to carry two empty
carboys to the house, the master of it having sent
his family to pass the evening at a cafe. The
murder was committed by Vuillard and Perret,
while Nuke looked on.

The two principals were now condemned to death.
and the other to hard labour for life.

LAW REFORM.

"If I were a suitor, there are some things which I should
not like," writes a correspondent to :'he ri//leg:—

I should not like to be told that the T. mple of Jus-
tice is open to everybody, and having gone in, to be kept
waiting for years, and then to be ignominiously ex-
pelled, with no other acquisition than a book full of
nets, sim ly hie-nose I had gone in at the wrong door.
I had tiled a bill in Equity, when I ought to have
brought an action at Law.
Commencing my action at Law, I should not like
to hear the Judge say that he was no premed for time
that, rather than not end the case, he would sit till
12 on Saturday night (see The Times' Law Report of
the 16th inst). I should not like either, in such a
case, to be on the jury or to he a witness in attendance.
I should not like to be told that the ruling of the
Judge might be reversed by the Court in bake, the
ruling of the Court in looc by the Court of Ex-
chrquer Chamber, and the ruling of the Exchequer
Chamber by the House of Lull&
I should not like to be told that if my adverrary
obstinate and rich. my oboist, lies between slicer ss and
ruin on one side, and ruin without succems on the other.
I should not like to be told that when my cause
reaches the House of Lords the dignity of that House
requires me to pay those I employ much higher fees
thin before.
. - . .

I should not like to be told that I was right all along,
but in consequence of the error of the inferior Court
I must bear my own costs of the appeal.
I should not like to be told that no one could say
when my CBl/0.0 could gr t through the Court of Ex he-
pier Chamber, because the Jwlgers were too much
otherwise occupied to be got tether.
I should not like to see it officially announced in The
Times that the Court site in the morning at ten, and
then find that it never by any chance site before half-
past ten.
I should not like to hear the Judge say to the op-
posite ,ounsel, "Mr. Si-and So, you are more familiar
with these points than we are."
I child not like to find ins mercantile case that the
Court was tints-oiler with mercantile wages, sad had
no unbiased perimn at hand of whom to obtain the
ne 3essai y information.
. .

Rut I should like to see that such men as Mr. Vernon
Harcourt were stirring in the matter, and that the
cause of the suitor was taken up by The Times.
I should like to see many such Courts of First In.
stance as that constituted by Lord Hatherley when
Vice-Chancellor, from whom the Court of Appeal sel-
dom differed, and when differing did so with hesita-
tion ; and I should like to see every Court of Appeal
as strong and as satisfactory as the present Court of
Appeal in Chancery, wt ere a firq rate Equity lawyer
presi ie., with a sound property lawyer on his right and
a clear-headed common lawyer on his left—s tribunal
for more efficient than cold be composed by Judges
moderately learned in all branches, but distinguished
in none.

NETHERTON.

DEATH Or MU. BLANCHE BUDMORI.—The announce.
meet on Monday last of the demise of this benevolent
lady was received with general and sincere regret. By
constant acts of piety and charity, Mrs. Skidmore had
won the affections of the inhabitants, and especially of
the poor. She devoted much time in ministering to the
want: of the needy, in conducting mothers' meetings and
classes for nail girls, and in supplying food and clothing
to the sick and aged. She was a liberal supporter of
education, missions, and of medical and other charities,
and her benefactions to St. Andrew's Church, el which
she was a member, are without precedent in Netherton.
Amongst her gifts were • beautiful stained glass east
window, by Wastes; the new altar cloth, cushions, etc..
for the chancel, which were embroidered by her own
hands; and a gold plated alms dish and bogs; but the
crowning gift was a very fine peal of six bells. To her
untiring energy, too, was mainly due the success of the
various bazaars, which have contributed so mach to the
work of Church impriveineut and extension in the parish.
It most indeed be said that the Church and poor of this
place have lost their best friend. The deceased lady will
be interred in the family vault at Netherton, on Tuesday
next.

Tea is an alimentary product of the highest order, and
its inestimable qualities, ouce only at the command of
the rich, are now placed within the reazh of the moat
humble family. The valuable properties which prove so
refreshing and grateful to all tea drinkers, are found al-
most exclusively in the young leaves, imported in • pure
state; the public desire such, and to meet their wants,
Messrs. Honiiman continue to supply through appointed
Agents, and in sealed packets only, TEA that is guaran-
teed pure and wholesome and at the same time strong,
delicious and cheap. Sold by 2,138 Chemists, Confec-

dee to the treasurer, it was decided • few weeks back to
resort to the convenient method of "raising the wind"
by holding a bazaar. The ides was cordially supported
by the ladies connected with the church, and a capital
assortment of useful and ornamental articles was dis-
played on the tastefully arranged stalls, which were pest
sided over by Mrs. Corvesor, Mrs. Caswell, bliss Cuwell,

HORRIBLE ENTERTAINMENT.

The Swiss Times says that at the menagerie of
Signori Bidet sad Marnali at Turin on Monday even•
lag, the andieece were treated to a performance not
simmered in the bills. Signor Bide!, the famout
lion-tamer, watered as nasal a large cage in which
were lien., lionesses, bears, hyalite, and • lamb.
After the feat, of hatpin!, de , ordinarily shown
in sach exhibitions, the greed fosters sionsisted in
the simultaneous approach of the wild animals to
the lamb aid the exchange of 'the kiss of fra-
ternity." This was scoomal shed succesafully, the
&Rituals methodically toaching noses, then gravely
'talking Lack to their 11116.1.. The performance
wait toeless with putting the lamb', howl in the mouth
of a lien. No sooner had the jaws clew' masa the head
of the animal than it was e•iiient by the eyes and
reovemeet of the tail of the line that foul play was
threatened, and before a word of command could be
gives streams ef blood were running from his mouth.
Children 'oriented and women (Mated, but fortunate'y
the panic was of short duration. Signor Bide!, with a
tremeadous blow on the throat of the lion and •
shout of command, forced the hal wild animal to
relinquish his victim, and, although roaring fearfully, he
sullenly obeyed the fixed eye and geature of his
muter, retiring into a corner t.f the cage. But to
the reaewial horror of the people, in dealing with
the lion he had turned his back tat the lioness, who
with a howl of rage, leapt up n his bask. Fortunately
for Bided, her claws awl teeth entared bin clothing
only, and with a oprieg and cry be leapt from under
her, at the same time strikiag right and left with his
loaded whip, forcing the animals to the front of the
cage. There was an instant of hi sitation and submis-
sion on the part of the I Ater, during which Ride!, re-
volver in hand, unfaatewed the came awl backed him-
self out of it. Seeing Lim cafe, the reaction of the
audience was tremendous and the cheers that greeted
his appearance were deafening. Although pecf.tly
ejliitt, the deadly pallor tif his face gave evidence of the
danger he had paned.

THE GLOVEWS PETITION.

A glover of the Boulevard de Strasbourg, in Paris
named Delahatie, an old soldier, 45 years of age, has
got himself into terrible trouble by a too frank prigila-
mation of his opinion of the majonty of the Ae.,ernbly.
When the Government, a !opting a Bonapartist law,
gave notice that petitions for a dissolution must not be
signed in public•houses, M. Delahaye pot a placard
outside his shop stating, "A dissolutioniiit petition
lies here for signature." That was perfectly innocent
and legaL But unfortunately one of M. Delahaye's
influential Republican hiends got him a ticket for the
great debate in the Assembly on December 14. He
returned from the famous 'night sitting" so irate at
the anti-Republican speeches of the Due d'Audiffret
Paikprier and M. Raoul Duval that the next morning
he exhibited a new placard thus worded :

A petiticu for turning out the 400 scoundrels lies for
signature In the shop.

For this he has been tried by a military tribunal,
and although eviderce was given that he had a good
character during seven years that he served in the
army, which he left with the rank of corporal, and
that he was now a moat respectable tradesman, he was
found guilty with "extenuating circumstances," and
sentenced to two years imprisonment,

EXECUTION OF THE PENDLETON

MURDERER.

On hfonilsy morning, Michael Kennedy, who was sentenced
to death at the laAt balford Hundred Asairea for the murder
of Ann Kennedy, his wife, was executed within the precinct.
of the county gaol, NI anchetter. A petition In favour of the
reprieve of the prisoner had been got up and forwarded to
the Hume Secret dry, but tram the first no hope was enti r-
tained that the capital sentence would be commuted. The
circumstances attending the murder were as follow.:—
On the Bth October last the prisoner and his wife
were residing at 6, Brunswick-place, Pendleton. They
had been married 3d year+, and had had 14 children, seven
whom are living. The prisoner was said to be •
good husband when he was sober, and much attached
to the deceased. He, however, Lad given way much
to erink for some time before the murder. About three
o'clock in the afternoon id the Bth October the pri-
soner went into his house partly intoxicated, and
became very angry with his wife because his
dinner was not ready. A short time afterwards
a report of • pistol was heard, and the deceased
rushed into the street, bleeding from a wound on
the right side of her head. The primmer afterward.

—gave himself up to the police, and on being told that
the deceased was not dead, he expressed his sorrow, ws
he said. "I intended to shoot her dead. If she is not
dead, I hope she soon will be. If! had shot her in tie
heart, the job would have been done sight." Home
days afterwards, when the deceased died, and he was
charged with the murder, he replied, "Drink and
madness." It appeared that the prisoner purchased
the pistol from a general dealer in litrudg hill Market
on the morning of the day on which the murder was
committed.

'the prlson.r during his trial was apparently very
little affected, but since his incarceration he has
shown that be has realised the enormity of hic crime.
He was a Roman Catholic, and has been attended by

in a passive manner. After the fall of the drop he

the body was cut down, and after an inquest had been

Kennedy was viAited several times by his relatives
in the course of the last week, and to all he expres‘ed
his c ntritim, and said that, if he had known the
force of religion as he did now, he would not have mur-
dered his wife.

reference to what Mr. Lyttelton had said about
the value of foreign travel, and the feelings
which were produced by the sight of the ruins in
Rome and Greece; he (the speaker) had seen
them and could thoroughly sympathise with those
feelings. They themselves had had lectures de-
livered last winter on zoology, and they had since
offered prizes to those young men who would col-
lect a number of specimens in this neighbourhood,

the prizes to be awarded when the proper time

PENURIOUSNESS, AND ITS
CONSEQULNCES,

Au haw:lest has been held at Ifonl, near Lewes, on
the body of Maurice Green, aged 50, who has for many
years been working as a jobbing shepherd in the neigh-
bourbooel of Lewes. Although he has o ever heeu known
to earn more Van 10s. a week, he iI&S saved about 1:250,
which is shown by • bank pane book found on him. lie
Is stated to have limited his expenditure for board and
lodgings to about 2e. dd. • week. Ho lived on odd
F°°s of rusty Lacon, rotten cheese, cheap fish, tur-
nips, and, in fact, anything he could buy cheap ;
and it is said that he haei eaten lambs which have
died under his charge. The last time deceased
was known to purchase meat was a fortnight since,
and it consisted of l lb. of bacon hock. De.
ceued had been to Lewes on Saturday night to
purchase Lis week's provieions, and on his return
these were found to con,ist ,if j.h. of sugar. 1 z. of tea,
}lb. of common butter, and llb, of rotten cheese. He
reached home at half pact one on Sunday morning. A
labourer and his wife, named Mont, with whom he
lodged, arrived about the same time, they having been
to a wedoing party. Green proceeded upstairs to bed,
seal shortly afterwards was heard retching. Mrs. Mont
called to him to pnt his head out of the window, and
be made some reply. Nothing more was heard of him.
Surprise was expressed next morning at Green's boots
being found in the kitchen, as he usually got up very
early. At ten o'clock efforts were made to ronee him,
but they had no effect. His bedroom door was then
med about an hour later, and he was found on his
with his clothes on vomiting blood. Medical aid
promptly obtained, but Mr. Braden, on his arrival,
pounced death to have occurred some hours. At
inquest My Braden stated that he had made a post
