ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY • LAW WRITRIL—SAD DASD
Charier Rea, 70 years of age, and described on the
police-sheet as • law writer, without any home, was
charged with haviag, on the 23rd of May last,
cut his throat with the intention of destroying
life. A small penknife was produced Condable
Stacey 197 N, who said—On the 23rd of May last I was
called into a house in Martha-street, Haggerston, then
in the occupation of the prisoner ; he was lying on a bed
attended by Mr. Greenwood, a medical gentleman, who had
just bandaged • wound in his throat and directed his
removal to the hospital, which was done and he has been
there up this day. This is the knife.
Mr. Ellison. —Did he say why he made the attempt
Constable—No sir, and there's not anyone here con-
nected with him. I believe that it is • very sad ease, his

beard, who is managing a large establishment, ands sister t,
living by means of her needle, but not able to assist him. j'
The white-haired man who stood in the dock, clutching
the iron rail of it for support, and his head bent as low,
was evidently too overpowered by mental anguish to admit
of epftch, and his sobs were most distressing to hear.
Mr. Ellison—lt is singular that after this lapse of time
not anyone known to the prisoner is here. Even the
medical gentleman is absent.
Constable—He promised to come again, but I have not
seen him.
Mr. Ellison—Let his son-in-law be communicated with
—he has no home—no place to go to, and therefore the
best thing I can do for the present is to send him to the
workhouse, Shorediteh.
The poor old man muttered something as he left the
court with the constable.
THAMES.
EXTRAORDINARY CAME OF FOROTAY.
Richard Nott, an elderly man, who was arrested in
Croydon, and who has been recently living in Prinoes-road,
Notting-bill, was charged with forging a bill of exchange
for the payment of 301.
Mr. James Stott, of the firm of Scott and Cook, 14
leather merchants, No. 30, Minories, said be re- 1/
celved • bill of exchange from the !prisoner soon after it
was drawn. It was dated the 16th of September, 1865, for
301. and purported to be dravrnby Mr.Nott on W. Estetbrook
of Tiverton. It purported to be accepted by W. Esterbrook,
and was indorsed by the prisoner and by the firm of Scott
and Cook. He paid the bill away in the regular
course of business, and it wax returned to him
dishonoured. He sued Mr. Esterbrook, the alleged ac-
ceptor, who said the signature was a forgery. In cross-
examination the witness said he did not know the pri-
soner was living at Princes-rosd, Notting-hill, since the
bill was returned to him. He would swear the bill was not
in Esterbrook's writing. The prisoner had said the
acceptance was not in the handwriting of Esterbrook. He ;,
told the prisoner the acceptance was not in the handwtit- r
ing of Esterbrook, and the prisoner said the acceptor was
his first cousin and had authorised him to sign his name ,
to the bill. He was not aware that Mr. Esterbrook, of
Tiverton, was the prisoner's cousin.
The prisoner was remanded.
WANDSWORTH.
DIEGIACF7UL CONDUCT OF A FATHER.
John Crump, who was described as • labourer, was *
brought before Mr. Daman, charged with wilfully neglect-
Mg his two young children under circumstances of • very a
ful nature.
diririrepeetor Usher, of the V division, stated that between I
12 and 1 o'clock on the previous night he was on duty at
the station when he received information which induced
him to go to Hill's-yard, Frogrnore, Wandsworth, where,
on looking through • broken window of an empty house,
he saw something lying underneath. The door was locked,
and he had to use force to open it. On entering the
home he found two young children, aged four and
nine years, lying under the window, covered over
with some rags, and in a shocking state of filth. The
prisoner soon afterwards returned home in a state of
intoxication and said the children belonged to him. Wit-
ness sent the children to the workhouse and
the prisoner with neglecting them. The inspectocriflled
that it would take • week or a fortnight to cleanse the
children, as they would have to par through the infir-
mary and have their heads shaved.
The prisoner denied neglecting his children, and said
that one bad been sufering from an abscess in the head,
and that he attended to it himself. He also denied return-
ing home drunk.
Inspector Usher said he was drunk, and was smoking •
short pipe.
Mr. Deyman told the prisoner he had put himself in •
perilous position, for if he were to be sent for trial he would
be sentenced to • long imprisonment, which he would most
richly deserve. If be went about drinking he must neg-
lect his children, and as for attending to them he did not
believe him.
The prisoner said he could not be • drunkard when he
attended to his work.
Mr. Layman said his conduct had been disgraceful, and
he had not the feelings of • father.
Inspector Usher further stated that the neighbours had
complained to the relieving officer, who advised them to
go to the police. He never saw children in a more neg-
lected state.
Mr. Layman remanded the prisoner for a week to con-
sider whether he should send him for trial or not.
The prisoner, who appeared not to have neglected him.
self, was then removed to the cells.

HUTCHINSON V. HUTCHINSON AND BASSIST.
Mr. Searle for the petitioner, who is a hairdresser, for-
merly of Nottingham, where he married the respondent,
andthen of Ipswich, where he still lives. The case was some-
what similar to the preceding. The respondent contracted
drunken habits. and rendered her husband's home intoler-
able ; so he sent her away, but with • provision. She
took lodgings in Colchester, where she lived as the wife of
the co-respondent, who belongs to a regiment of lancers.
She was sent to gaol for robbery, and there the citation was
served upon her.

Majesty had kindly announced her intention of presenting
the Working Men's Club here with • selection of books—

A LADY VOLUNTEER NURSE. —ln the cholera
wards of the London Hospital, in a scene of suffering and
death sufficient to try the stoutest heart, a lady volunteer
nurse has passed her time since the beginning of the
epidemic, moving from bed to bed is ceaseless efforts to
comfort and relieve. So very youthful and so very fair
is this devoted girl that it is dirficult to control a feeling
of pain at her presence under such circumstances. But
she offered her help at a time when, from the sudden
inroad of cases, ouch meietanoe was urgently required,
and nobly has she followed her self-sought duty.
.Wherever the needs greatest and the work hardest,
there she is to be seen toiling until her limbs almost re-
fuse to sustain her. And the effect of the fair young
creature's presence has been that the nurses have been
encouraged by her never-failing energy and cheeriness,
so that dread of the disease has been lost in efforts to
combat it. This is an instance of devotion which it would
be an insult to praise—it need only be recorded.—Lancet.
THE FATAL ACCIDENT TO A SOLICITOR.—Yes-
' terclay Dr. Lankester held an adjourned inquest at the
board-room of the Holborn Union, on the body of Joseph
Benton, a solicitor, of Clement's-inn, Strand, and Read-
ing, Berk., who was run over in the Gray's-inn-road, and
taken to the Royal Free Hospital. A lengthened inquiry
took place, in the course of which it appeared that death
was caused b ruptureof the liver, the result of thesocident,
I The deceased was not, it appeared 'sent to the police-station
from the hospitel, but as he bad given his address, and
expressed a wish to that effect, a policeman was entrusted
with the duty of taking him home. On his way, how-
ever, he wished to go to the pollee-station to give the per-
tioulars of the Ices of his watch, and was accordingly
taken there. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental
Death," but expressed an opinion that it would have been
better if he had been detained at the hospital.
EXPLOSION AT SEA.—PLIWOCTIT, JULY 27.—
The London General Steam Shipping Company's screw
steamer Alford, from Cardiff to Charente, put in at
Plymouth this afternoon, dismantled from an explosion of
coal gas on board, which took place this morning at sea.
Fifty feet of her deck were blown up, the boatswain
killed, and a seaman badly injured.—Reuter's Tdegram.
THE THIEF'S CONFESSION.—And their tongues
are not more accustomed to lying than their fingers to
theft. These two vices are practised from earliest youth,
and so powerful is habit that reform in them particulars is
very rare. They look upon thieving as an art worthy of
deep study, and pride themselves on their dexterity. A
1/010411 said when urged to give it up, " Of course what
youllay is right, bat lam so cloves at it. Every time you
come near me I can see how to take something, only I
would' at, of mane."—CornAill Moped/se for August.
CAPTURE or CAPTAIN 8/WETLAND, RN., BY
BRIOANDS.—Letters from Girgenti of the 12th July,
revolved by the last Italian packet, state that Cap-
tain Shortland, commanding her Majedy's steam-vessel
Hydra, and two seamen, have been captured by bri-
gands near St. Marco, South Coast of Sicily, whilst
taking sights on shore, in connexion with the survey.
The capture maned on the 7th of July, twelve miles
in shore on Mount Raffadale. Twenty-seven bri-
gands were counted, and a number of other per-
sons, evidently friends to them, were seen in the vi-
cinity. We are glad to state, however, that the gallant
captain and the two men were released after &short deten-
tion and the payment of a ransom of 396 h, which was
paid by the interpreter. who was allowed to go on board
the Hydra for it. The brigands could hardly have been
aware of the value of their prize, or we do not think they
would have been so easily satisfied.—Malta Times,
July 19.
WHAT THE " RECORD " "(HOWL—Troops, how-
ever, especially infantry, are dangerous tools to play
with. We speak of what toe know, when we extort
that the temper of the men has been sorely tried
by the harassing character of the duties In which
they were employed, and by their being kept
night after night, out of their beds. Nothing but the per-
fect discipline of our army, and the anxious care of the
racers in command, prevented their coming to blows with
the snob on Tneeday, and that after a fashion which would
have settled the question speedily and effectually, but
which would have settled it ins way which we should all
deplore.—Record.
A Docritnes.t, " BENErrr SOClETY."—Elsewhere
we give a lengthened report of a meeting in connexion with
the Surrey Tabernacle Benefit Society. It appears that be-
fore anyone can become • memberof this society he must sub-
scribe to a very crucial test as to his belief or disbelief in cer-
tain abstrinepointsof doctrine, such as "effeetuslcalling,"
" free grace," Are. ; and the code of rules loving been sub-
mitted to Mr. lidd Pratt in order that the society might
be enrolled, that gentleman trod upon the corns of several
of the more zealous of the members by striking out the
doctrinal testa. The Rev. Mr. Wells said the deleted
part was the cornerstone of the fabric; and • hubbub
ensued in consequenes.—Bouth London beer.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(THIS DAY.)

The court sat to-day, at the Guildhall, Broad Sanctuary,
Westminster, to dispose of a list of petitions and appeals.
William Henry Bodkin, Esq., assistant-judge, presided,
and the following justices of the pease were preeent on the
bench :—Mr. Woolsey, Mr. Charles Whit., Mr. J. D.
Fletcher, Mr. Twentyman, and Captain Donatus O'Brien.
The list of business comprised for judgment an appeal
by Antonio Viasani, an Italian padrone, who wee convicted
by L T. D'Eyncouri, Esq., • police magistrate sitting at
Clerkenwell police-court, against that conviction, under
the Vagrant Ara, of importing Italian boys to
this country for the purpose of sending them
out into the streets with hardy gurdies, white
rola, guinea pigs, monkeys, and organs, to beg money
from the public, which they would bring home to him.
This appeal was heard some time ago, and a question of
law wu raised, which was referred to • higher tribunal,
sad as that had not been decided the Assistant-Judge
again deferred the judgment of the court.
The next case in the list for the judgment of the court
was en appeal by a man named Joseph Whitley against a
conviction by L. T. D'Eynconrt, Esq., sitting magistrate
at Clerkenwell, for having in his possession property sup-
posed to have been stolen.
This was • similar case, and as the matter reserved had
not been decided, the assistant judge adjourned the judg-
ment of the court. .

William Barker, a yours man of respectable appearance,

having unlawfully assaulted and beaten him on the 17th
inst., at ClerkenwelL
The evidence of the complainant (the sides of whose
face, the upper lip and the chin, were very red and
beamed) was to the effect that on the day in question,
whilst at work, the defendant went up to him, smeared his
face with caustic, and said, " This will make your whiskers
rew." After the defendant had smeared his face he felt
• burning sensation on his fax and he was in great pain.
Afterwards the parts of the fax that bad been touched
were very much inflamed and swollen. He had given the
defendant no provocation for the committal of such a brutal
net.

it bad given money for the purchase of some caustic to be

The defendant said he could not deny that he had put

The subjoined weekly report on the metal
market is from the circular of Messrs. von Da-
delseen and North :
We cannot report any actual revival in the metal trade.
A moderate amount of business has been done since our
last without any important alteration in price. Thepeos-
p-rts of peace on the continent, coupled with an Wl7 re-
duction in the rate of discount, will doubtless impatt moos
animation. Iron : We continue to receive the same un-
favourable reports from Wales and Staffordshire. Scot&
pig-iron has fluctuated but slightly, closing quietly at
51s. 9d. cash. topper: The market is rather steadier,
holders do not press sales, and there is an opinion • ing
ground that we have passed the worst time. Small lots at
both foreign and English have been sold at improved
prices. Tm is without alteration in value. Striate, ac-
cording to quality, from 75/. to 751'. 10s. ; Rana, nt. to
U. English dull. In Holland the market is firm at
47tf. Tin plates maintains their position well. Lead is
rather better inquiry. Speller has sustained a serious fall
since our last ; large parcel. are pressing for sale, whick
obstructs the regular course of Mamma. The last
sanasction reported was SO tons common brands for
August at 20!. 7s. 6d.

There were no bullion operations worth reporting
at the Bank yesterday. The demand for export is
