"A London scoundrel" advancing in the columns of
the Maas a plea for the gallows," saw—. That good
old institution the gallows reared its bourn head once again,
to my great satisfaction, in the Old Bailey this morning—
its first appearance sines its late severe indisposition from
Caused sympathy. A wretched brute was hung like a dog,
uhe deservedto he ; and as his dreary corpse swayed in the
eager north wind, it was a pleasant and cheering thing to
thank that nobody could now give him a ticket of leave,
and let him loose again upon .suety. He wee disposed of
once and for all, in the cheapest end most effectual manner.
It was, sir, a Soo wholesome corrective sight. I thought of
the shattered, senseless victim—of the bloody work by which
that poor creature was smashed and killed—of that awful
night at the hospital, when the grating trephine set free •
flatting consciousness, Ind the identity of the assassin was
established ; and ea the brute tell with the drop, and his
muscles contracted with one short terrible spasm, I won-
dered how he liked it."

MS. W. FEBRAND. AND THE TICKET-OP-LEAVE
MAX.—" Some time ago," writes Mr. W. Ferranti, "a
man named Cooper, residing at Bingley, having a wife and
two children, was tried at York for perjury and sentenced
to be transported for men years. Immediately after his
wife married again. In a short period he returned with a
'ticket of leave.' Hs preferred before me a charge of
bigamy against his wife, and she was committed to take her
trial at the ensuing assists. Soon after this be waited open
me, and, 'turning op the whites of his eyes,' he showed me
a letter from the chaplain of the gacl where be had been
imprisoned, beginning, ' Dear Cooper,' add ' g him in
the meet familiar , desiring to hear from
him, and closely 'bowleg that she chaplain had

degraded by his presence. I kept him twice the length of
the time be asked for, being determined to test the ticket-
of-leave system, and a more idle barium I never had. On
the last Saturday night that he received his wares he told
me that he had work to go to—be left the neighbourhood,
desertion hit two children, and I have not Find heard of
him. His two children were afterwards found starving,
covered with filth and vermin, and removed to the work-
house. His wife was fouad guilty by the jury, discharged
by the judge, and returned home to her bigamised hat-
band."
A Patina BECOMING A CATTLE AND SHEEP
DiaLult.-1u a parish in the How of the NI , a person
that has received parochial relief for many years, and that
still continues to draw regular supplies from the broad board
of the parish, owns a S ck of sheep, besides other bestial,
and employs a hired s mat for herding them. The pur-
chase money is believed to he the accumulations of el
years, arising from earnings, and from the payments of the
parochial board. As showing the amount of savings that
might accumulate from the first. b wages at 34. di. a
day amount to 11. per wok, which, upon the supposition
that the harvest income were ‘ontinasd through the year,
is 621. Perhaps we may soon hear of paupers paying
income-tar to government. Meantime, there is no doubt
that this recipient of parochial relief is himself liable to nh7
poor rates, which will thus so far meet his receipts, er,d to
that extent relieve those who are assessed. Surely such an
occurrence must be an oversight on the part of the board or
inspector ; and it is so wonder that ratepayers complain of
the amount of their assessments with such an appropriation
of their feeds. It is rumoured that soother recipient
wishes a horse to enable him to pay visits to his friends and
