BACON AND HIS WIFE, charged with the wilful
murder of their two children at Walworth, were ex-
amined before Mr. Elliott, at Lambeth Police-court,
on Wednesday, and now stand remanded till Thurs-
day next for the completion of the case on the part
of the Crown. The trial will take place at the Old
Bailey next sessions.
AN INQUEST' was held upon the body of the late
Earl of Harewood, at the Harewood Arms, Hare-
wood, on Monday, before Mr. T. Taylor, coroner,
and a respectable jury. From the evidence it
appeared that Lord Harewood, when the accident
occurred, was riding a favourite old mare hunter,
and not a young horse, as has been reported, and
was attempting to " brush" through a young thorn-
hedge, when the animal stumbled over a sheep net
at the other side, and threw the noble lord over her
head, and it is supposed that he was struck by tho
mare with her fore feet while pawing to relieve her-
self. The medical attendant stated that death bad
resulted from erysipelas in the head. A verdict of
" Accidental death" was returned.
THE WIDOW ALLsoe has again appeared before Mr.
Broughton, who had appointed Wednesday to make
some further inquiry into her case. In reply to the
magistrate she said she bad not brought with her
the document to which she had alluded on a former
occasion, and in which it was stated that she was
known to certain persons whom she had mentioned.
She was asked about her sons in the Crimea, and
she now said they never joined any regiment, but
were " clerks in Lord Raglan's department," and
were sent thither from India. She handed in a paper,
which she said she got from the War-office last No-
vember. In this paper the magistrate remarked
the name of the regiment to which her sons had be-
longed was inserted in a different handwriting frcm
the other writing in it. Mrs. Allsop accounted for
this by saying it was written by Lady Thesiger. She
said that her sons were not in any action in the
Crimea to her knowledge. General Brook, whom
she had said she knew, had written to the magis-
trate, saying that there was a man of the name of
Allsop, paymaster in the 44th Regiment, but that
her story was a very improbable one ; of her sons,
or herself, nothing was known. She said two of her
sons had been admitted into the Blue-coat School,
but by whose recommendation she did not know.
After some further conversation with her, which was
not very satisfactory, Mr. Broughton dismissed her,
saying that ho would apply to the private secretary
of Lord Raglan, and Lady Thesiger, to ascertain if
her statements were true.

THE QUEEN AND THE PRINCE OF WALES have
appeared as applicants in a case for arbitration
before Sir John Patteson, at the Privy Council
Office. A dispute has arisen between the represen-
tatives of her Majesty the Queen, on the one hand,
and the representatives of his Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales, as Duke of Cornwall, on the other,
in reference to the revenues of the under sea fisheries
off the coast of Cornwall. The arguments, which
are of a technical and abstruse character, will last
some time, after which the whole of the documents
connected with the question will be handed to Sir
John Patteson. When the right hon. gentleman has
duly considered the matter he will make his award,
which it has been agreed on both side 3 p1i214 be
