With regard to the proposed amendments by the crown the

The learned counsel then left the court for the purpose
of gain before Mr. Baron ChanselL
Just before the rising of the court Mr. Hannan end Mr.
Folkard came in and informed their lordships that Mr.
Baron Channel' had heard what they had so say, and bed
assented to the amendments, and had authotieed the clerk
of Satin to make them, with twecurreace.
The Coast assented, and the alterations were sooordingly

change, when he told that perms whet had occurred.
Mr. Woolryeh asked him what be said to the whim.

take down • velvet mantle, double it up, and that ft disap-
peared. Wilms' returned with the esehier, sad went up
to the prisoner, sod told her he believed she bad something
about her that did not belong to Ism. Bba deeded it, sad
shook her dress when he saw the velvet mantle fall from
under her dress. A constable was sent for, bed she was
given into custody.
Mr. Brice, cashier and manager to Mrs. Jose, corrobo-
rated this evidence.
For the Menus, the prisoner'. deter, • highly respect-
ablolookinf who said she was in • responsible
situation with • family of distinction In the country, mid
that on Tuesday lastshe came up to Lonrho on basins.,
and requiring • new mantle, she called on her sister, who
moompanied her to the .bop of Iln. Jones. While there
her riser took up a velvet mantle to look et. and after
admiring it put it oe the back of • chair. When the two

mantle fell from the chair. It was the custom of ber sister
to shake her dross whin she rose from • chair, and she
wee sure that the made never fell from under her dram.
This witesse we crommarnised at some length by his
' worship, but she adhered to her statement.
I Mr. Woolrych nbmrved that he had carefully investigated
the owe; and although there was a greet deal of eontredictory

HAMMERSMITH.
Madam Modem Mseseh Caddies, the wife of the
ambassador of Cods in this country a few years ago,
came before Mr. Ingham to msks ststemant wtth regard
to the distressed pceition whisk sire was placed. She
Meted that Mr husband left England toe Melia two years
ago, and she was unable to reach lairn, all her little peoperty
was sacrificed.
Mr. Ingham said he did not know of say mesas of
getting out to India without paying for the Journey, and
he wee very mom he could not assist her.
'The appliesat maid the government. who were Welded
to her busload to the amount of several hundred pounds,
promised to midst ker ; bat attar seeding several mono-
rials, Sir C. Wood declined to entertain her appliestioe.
Mr. Ingham said if she had my claim on the government,
he was quits sure they would attend to it. He supposed
they were of opinion that she had no claim upon them.
The app
parted licant further steted that she was left destitute,
having with hor jewellery and [maltase to provide
noomearies. The law suits in which her husband was
engaged while in this country ruined him. The govern.
mast promised so pay him 101. a week as Wog as he was in
England and pay his debts, but oe his last failure they re-
fused to give him any further maistame.
Mr. Ingham again said that be could not moist her, and
that if she bad any claim upon the government he was sure

The applicant then withdrew, after thanking the mails-
traW for his attention.

THIS PROPOSZD CONSOLIDATION 07 LOCAL BOARDS

on
of the Maryleboae Voitty at some length yesterday.
answer to isquirise Mr. Nichalsy, one of the representatives
st the Metropolitan Board of Works, said he should most
strongly oppose any attempt that might be made by go-
vernment to destroy the principle of local self-goverzuneet
as now enjoyed by the vestries sod district boards. 17Iti-
stately • commutes was formed to consider the seb*ti
with power to communicate with other vestries and Weal
boards, inviting them to co-operate in withstanding the
proposed. amalgamation. At the vestry meeting of

the Metropolitan Hoe* brought the subject under the
notice of ;be vestry. He said the general feeling of the
Metropolitan Board wee against the powen of vestries, to.,

RIEDE:RPM Ili SE W.—During thelast few weeks
several experiments have been undertakee in Edinburgh, at
the request of the French government, to test the DODUITSCy
of the statement that sheep are liable to be affected with
rinderpest. In a first series ef experimenti four sheep
were kept in the same stable with animals very seriously
affected with damped, and OWN besides, inoculated with
the secretions obliged from the tame amitosis. The results
appear to have been entirely negative. In • sewed series of
expenmeats four sheep were inoculated with the lachrymal
secretion and with the milk of cows affected with riader-
peat ; of; these, one is dated to have exhibited cm the
sixth day after the iaccaithke symptoms of ill-health.
Subsequently all the sym_ptome of riederpest beasts*
developed, and the animal mod cc Tuesday morning. We
understand that at the post wren; examination, which
WY performed the same day in presence of Profaner
Maclagan and Dr. Audrey Wood, the lesions which are
considered to be characteristic of rinderped were found to
exist. In order to prove mere ecesclueively the nature of
the disease which mused the death of the sheep experi-
mented upon, a calf was, on Seturday, inoculated with
some of the wereffithe obtained from it. As yet, the animal
appears to be in perfect health. If, as is eoulidently
expected, it falls a victim to A:steepest, no doubt can be
entertained that the statement that sheep may become
affected with the cattle plague is perfectly correct. We
understand that experiment' undertaken in London have
led to the same result. —Scotsman.
THE LATE CARE or ALLEGED POISONING BY •
SWEETHEART, AT SALISBORT.—WiIIiana John Storer, the
surgeon's assistant lately charged with administering
strychnie to Miss Emily Sophia Blake, the daughter of Mr.
Blake, surgeon, of Salisbury. has, since his committal, ea-
deavoured to obtain poison:ma dress, with the view, it is
supposed, of committing suicide. He wroth out a preserip-
tion under an assumed name, sad add °( a letter to
Mears. Sewn and Moore, of London, in inducing
a newly engaged turnkey to pod it for him, a further ar-
reagement be
being also made for the "medicine," on its
arrival, to be left at the turnkey's house. Messrs. Savory
and Mouth, finding that the preemiption included • does
of morphia more that sufficient to destroy life, immediately
put themselves in oommunicatico with the police at Salth
bury. The result of their investigation wect to prove cella-
doe between the turnkey and the prisoner. The turnkey
was at oath suspended, and • further inquiry into the matter
has been entered upon by the visiting justice..
DISCOVERY OF A INTER SPECIE 3 OF
an article which appeared in the Banffshire Journal last
year allusion was made to • particular class of fishes which,
from their small sire, are denominated midges, three species
of which had base found here. These were all that ware
then known of the genus. Last month, however, another
and quite • new sad distinct species was discovered here,
and seven specimens obtained. This species now
found is entirely new to science. Although agree-
ing in many respects with the other members of
the family—that is, the midges—it differs in several im-
portant and essential points. The most remarkable and
distinctive of these is a barbel on the upper part of the
mouth. This article hangs like ea elephant's trunk res-
ponded from the upper lip. Nose of the others have any-
thing of the kind. Mr. Couch. we understand, who is
perhaps one of the greatest icbthyologista of our day, is to
publish • description of the fish sad an amount of is dis-
covery in the Transactions of the Lipase's Society, as It is
too late for his work, sod is to same the species " Ed-
wards' Midge," in homer of its finder, our townsman, Mr.
T. Edwards.—Boeffshire Journal.
A WHALE CAST ASHORE IN PLYENSEY BAY.—On
Monday, at about It p.m., during a 'those enitb-easterly
gale, the maws of • fine boil fish of the above kind was
thrown upon the beach at a spot distant from Feetbource
about seven miles, and from Hastings about eight miles.
It measured in length 66ft.; in girth, 25ft. Sic.; in extreme
breadth at tail, 12f I. 81n. It is supposed that the death of
the fish occurred in the Northern Ocean at least a =oath
ago, and that it has been slowly wafted theses to the place
at which it landed. The Hoe. Beard of Admiralty end the
corporation of Heating' both put in a claim for the fish, and
it was sold by public auction by the former (moiler protest
from the latter), on the 15th inst., for the sum of 381. The
purchasers were a company of fishermen residing at Heel-
ing, and Bastlionree, who are making arrangements for im-
mediately maths/ up the carcase and reducing the blubber
to oil before further decomposition (already is as advanced
stage) prevents the process.
A JURY LOCKED UP TEN DAYS.—The trial
before • judge of the Court of Queen's Bench at Montreal of
tirnirmrsoes ermeereed in the attempt to kidnap Mr. G. N.
lasted several days, and on the 20th of October the
jury retired to consider their verdict. They rime into mart
many times end bed colloquies with the judge, dating that
they could not agree, and the conessi for the prisoners
claimed that this being so they should be directed to acquit
them, bat the judge held otherwise because he seasidered
the charge fully proved beyond all nameable doubt, sod in
fact intimated plainly that the jury were perverse. Thus
matters west on, the judge states, that the jury appeared
to be in se danger of physisal exhaustion, and that they
were to be treated as if in an hotel. Accordingly he kept
them is their room at their task until the end of the sittings
on Monday, the 30th of October, sad thee discharged these,
telling them that they had caused • Wham of justice for
the time, bat that he should remand the primmer, to MA
to await the next sittings In March. Some of the jury
appear to have objected to believe a principal witness, •
Roman catholic, bemuse be is a (renown.
