Clam. Cox, is rue.-atailZii.:-Sanotr/ West was
charged with breaking the bead of Jeremiah Byrne with an
iron shovel.
Complainant stated that on last evening he went
with his wife to the Surrey Theatre, and in the coupe of
the evening they went into the Surrey Coalhole to partake
of refreshments. While they were sitting there the prisoner
entered the room, and got into conversation with w itness, and
being a countryman of his he asked him to drink with them.
They all entered the theatre again; hut during the panto-
mime witness was surprised to find that his wife and the
prisoner had left him. Ile went out, and in the toffee-room
of the Coal Hole discovered his. frail partner and the prisoner
in a corner, locked in each other's embraces. After con-
siderable difficulty he got his wife out of the house, and
proceeded home, and, while he was lecturing his wife
about her conduct, the prisoner hunt into the room,
and seized up the fire shovel, with which he struck
hire over the head. His wife misted the prisoner, and
between the two be was nearly killed. Some of the neigh-
bours heard the disturbance, and the police was called in,
when the prisoner was taken into custody.
Mr. Henry asked how the prisoner came to know his
wife, as they must have been familiar with each other he-
fore ?
Complainant—Well, I'll tell your worship the whole
truth. Before I got married to my wife she had lived with
the prisoner, and had two nice little children by hint, which
lam taking care of. I suppose he wants to have some
more, but I wont let him. (Laughter.) lie is a very bad
man, I say, and I want him to lie punished.
The magistrate said that he thought it would be suffi-
cient to hind the prisoner over to keep the peace for six
months, which was accordingly done.

THE CAMBRIA LEFT Conx Hannont on Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock. She appeared very low in the
water, owing to the weight of the cargo, which had been
unshipped trim the Atlantic, which is immensely larger
than the Cumbria. We understand that her charter for
conveyance of the cargo was 3,000/., that of the Atlantic
having been 4,2001. —leaving a balance in favour of the
owners of the Atlantic of 1,2001. The Cambria took out an,
American mail.—Cork Examiner.

duck, we are assured, an address will be issued from the

whose principles would be opposed to aristocratic away and
domination.—Noltirolhom Renew.

THE MURDER NEAR BARNSLES.—SESPECTED
FRATKICIDR.—From what has transpired sines the inquest
was held, circumstances have come to light which have in-
duced Mr. Superintendent Green, of the Barnsley police, to
apprehend John Firth, a younger brother of the deceased,
on the charge of murdering him. The superintendent has
found some very strong circumstantial evidence against the
prisoner, which was to be adduced at the adjour...el inquest
appointed to be held on Thursday at Wortley. The de-
ceased had contracted very dissipated habits, and had been
a source of grief and shame to his parents. The accused
brother, John Firth, is about twenty-four years of age. He i
was employed at the Victoria Colliery, and considered a
highly respectable youth. Ms life and character were irre-
proachable, and no motive can be assigned for the perpetra-
tion of the horrid decd.—Doncaster Gazette.
