THE POISONING CASE AT BOLTON,

At the close of the inquest on Friday evening, held at the
Borough Court, Bolton, touching the death of Mr. Daniel
M'llullan, flour deJer, Moor-lane, the accused, Betsy
M`Mullan, his wife (who had during the inquiry been confined
in an upper room of the court), was immediately waited upon
by Mr. Briggs, her solicitor, and Mr. Snape, the medical gen-
tleman wbo had been watching the case on her behalf, who
each condoled with her in her trying position. The prisoner had
been deeply affectedduring the days being enabled from the room
in which she was confined to see and hear the large crowd of
persons assembled about the court room. Her father under-
took the painful task cf making known to her the decision of
the jury, which she received with calmness, but on being
informed that bail could not be accepted for her appearance
at the assizes, she wept bitterly. She has continued
throughout to protest her innocence of any intentioi; to
commit the dreadful crime imputed to her. During tfd
evening the Rev. W. H. Davison had an interview with her
for the purpose of condolence, and at nearly midnight she wee
removed to the old lockups, where she has been confined from
her apprehension until the morning of the inquest, where her
father, sister, and brother-in-law had an interview with her for
about half-au-hour. After her friends had left she retired to
hod, hut did not sleep well during the night. About five
o'clock in the morning she arose, and partook of a cup of tea,
and shortly afterwards she was escorted by a police-officer, in
plain clothes, to a cab, which was immediately driven off to
the Chequerbent station, on the London and North Western
Railway, being about three miles from Bolton, and
very retired. On leaving the lockups on her way to the
cab, she was perceived to shed tears. Her removal at ea
early an hour took place in order to prevent a large
concourse of persons being present, and it was effected almost
unobserved. As the cab proceeded up DerbY-street, her
father also entered it, and they all proceeded by the 7 20 train
from Chequerbent to Liverpool, and the party arrived at the
gaol at Kiikdale, about one o'clock that morning. The
prisoner has been attended by women during the whole period
since her apprehension, and during that time she has partaken
sparingly of food. The remains of her deceased husband were
interred on the afternoon of Friday, in the Roman Catholic
Chapel burial ground, ho being a member of that faith. A
large crowd of people assembled to witness the funeral.

PARIS, Saturday.—The Senate has voted ten millions
of francs for repairing the damage by the inundations.
ARCHDEACON'S DENISON'S CASE.—The proceedings in
this case, which has become so notorious, will be com-
menced in the Guildhall, in the city of Bath, on
Tuesday, the 22nd instant, and will, if permitted to go
on, extend over several days. It is expected, however,
that the whole affair will go off in technical legal diffi-
culties. Dr. Robert Phillimore, M.P., will appear for
the archdeacon ; and it is understood that he will at
the outset of the enquiry, submit to the court that the
Archbishop of Canterbury, the promoter of the suit, has
not complied with those preliminary regulations which
entitle him to proceed.
ADDRESSES TO THE REJECTED.—G. B. Mathew, Esti:,
lately occupying the post of H. B. M. Consul at Phila-
delphia, sails on Wednesday next in the Arabia, for
Liverpool. We have great pleasure in putting it on
record that a farewell complimentary address, very
numerously signed, has been presented to Mr. Mathew,
on his leaving the scene of his official duties; and that
on Thursday of last week, the Philadelphia Club enter-
tained him at a splendid banquet.. Mr. Mathew, in short,
however " unacceptable" to General Pierce and Mr.
Cushing, has contrived to enlist amongst his friends a
large proportion of the respectability of that city. It
seems to us that, somehow, the dismissed Consuls go off
with flying colours, whilst the dismissers themselves have
just cut a most sorry figure before their own political
friends at Cincinnatti.—New York Albion.

THE WRONGS OF A MIDWIFE.—In the Marylebone
county court has been heard the case of Timpson v. Nealet.
The plaintiff is a monthly nurse, and the defendantis an
aged gentleman of great wealth, residing in the vicinity of
" Tyburnia." The Nurse : I claim for a month's services.
In March last I engaged with the defendant's wife to
attend her in her confinement. She told me that she
expected to be confined at a time I should have been dis-
engaged. I have waited and waited until I got tired, and
have refused other ladies. She is not confined yet, nor
never will be. (Laughter.) The Judge : Well, Mr.
Neater, is this true ?. Dee(fißesnoidnaartnshteo:

As the doctor has not been able to decide perhaps there is
ydoeettorl
no chance of this lady's services being wanted, and then,
you know, she may have to wait for a death before a birth.
(Laughter.) The Defendant: The doctor has nothing at
all to do with it. (Laughter.) The Nurse : His wife
told me she expected it every hour, but the doctor
had told her several months before that there was
nothing the matter with her. It was a longing fancy
—that's all. (Renewed laughter.) The Defendant:
My wife does not want this woman's services until she is
confined—let her wait. (Laughter.) The Nurse lam
ready to attend your wife, but take my word for it, she
is no more in the family-way than you are. (Laughter.)
The Defendant : I sent for this woman one night, and she
did not come till next morning. The Nurse: It was a
false alarm. I never had a lady so disappoint me like
this before. (Laughter.) . The defendant's Housemaid I
heard my mistress agree with the nurse to attend her in her
confinement. I went one night for her in a hurry. and she
did not attend till next day. The Judge : Well, did any-
thing go wrong through her not corning at night ? The
Housemaid (blushing): Nothing happened. Nothing is
likely to happen. (Laughter.) The Defendant (pas-
sionately): How the devil do you know ? (Laughter.)
The Judge : Well nurse, you understand these little
domestic afflictions better than we do. is anything likely
to happen to this lady ? The Nurse : Not a bit of it. (Loud
laughter.) The Defendant : No matter, she did not attend
when sent for and is bound to wait. The Judge : Well,
it appears this woman was engaged without any prospect
of
.her services being called upon. She is not bound to
wait years for the happy event. (Laughter.) You must
pay this woman. Judgment for plaintiff and costs.
