John Harrison's, 5, Rodney-street, said she found the

dead, on Sunday morning about five o'clock. She was
very much in the habit of drinking, and would drink off
a tumbler of run at once. She was drunk every day for
the last fortnight, and on Saturday night she was so drank
that the witness could not get her up stairs, and she left
her in the chair. She got a fall whin drunk on Monday

LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT -YESTERDAY

In re OWEN ELLis.—The bankrupe, a marble mason of
this town, came up for last examination. As the balance
sheet was not filed, an adjournment took place to the 15th

FIELD SPORTS.—The progress of civilisation must mate-
rially affect our sports as well es our more serious pursuits.
The greatest inducement to the spore of the field is, no
doubt, the exhilaration caused by the healthful exercise
which they afford ; for it is difficult to conceive any real
pleasure to be derived from eeitroyiog the lives of God's
creatures. Cannot this end be secured without killing?
Must man destroy the lives of other creatures, in order to
enjoy his own. I have reason to think that the merciful
man enjtye the beauties of nature with equal, if not
greater delight than those who seek to stain the fair carpet
of nature with the blood of her children—to stop the noise
of joy and thankfulness by the heartless shot, to tear to
pieces the heartstrings of the fox or hare. Let us hope
that geological and botanical pursuits will supercede the
chase and all cruel sports.—Monckeon Mines.
