A Boy LOST UNDERGROUND.—Last week, a little 12
boy, named William Withers, who works with his father, St
at the Blaina Works, in one of the mine pits, went to his
work as usual with his father, but, on arriving at the St
5°
pit, found that he had forgotten his lamp, and returned
for the purpose of getting it and following his father
into the works. As he proceeded along the road under- St.
ground, however, the boy lost his light, and after that St,
missed his way, getting into some old works. From that
time he was not seen or heard of until Monday morning, 50
when he was found by the hauliers in a very weak state.
He was at once taken home, where he is now doing very 12
well. The poor little fellow had but his Friday's dinner
in his bag for the whole of the time. He states : " After 12
I lost my light I found that I was lost, and in a strange "
„,
road. I could hear my father at work all day on Friday.
I knocked the side, and made as much noise as I possibly
lu
could, but no one answered me. They all went out that 6
night, leaving me there ; I cried very much. I thought 12
I saw the stars two or three times, although I was 100 12
yards underground. I saved my dinner as much as I 12
could, eating a bit at a time, not knowing whether I St.
should ever be found or not. The pit broke on Saturday St
morning, consequently there was no work until Monday
morning. The whole time I had been wandering about
in the dark, when I heard the hauliers, and I made my
way to them." It appears that the father made search
all through the neighbourhood, thinking the boy had not
followed him into the pit, but that he was loitering about
with other boys on the top of ground. The poor little
fellow did not know what day it was when he was asked
at the time he was found he thought he had been
there seven or eight days.--Hereford Times. •
SWEDISH LAWS WITH RESPECT TO INTOXICATION.—
The laws against intoxication are enforced with great A
rigour in Sweden. Whoever is seen drunk, is fined, "
for the first offence, three dollars ' • for the second, six ; 10
for the third and fourth a still further sum ; and is 25
also deprived of the right of voting at elections, and 10
of being appointed a representative. He is, besides, 1.0.
publicly exposed in the parish church on the following
Sunday. If the same individual is found committing St.
the same offence a fifth time, he is shut up in the House 20
of Correction, and condemned to six months' hard la- 12
bour ; if he is again guilty, to a twelvemonths' punish-
went of a similar description. If the offence has been St
committed in public, such as at a fair, an auction, &c. , -
the fine is doubled, and if the offender has made his al)- 17
pearance at a church, the punishment is still more severe. 25
Whoever is convicted of having induced another to in-
toxicate himself, is fined three dollars, which sum is
doubled if the person is a minor. An ecclesiastic who falls
into this offence loses his benefice ;if it is a layman —4
who occupies any considerable post, his functions are 1(
suspended, and perhaps he is dismissed. Drunkenness 11
is never admitted as an excuse for any crime, and who- 1
ever dies drunk is buried ignominiously, and deprived of
the prayers of the Church. It is forbidden to &nye, and •
more explicitly to sell, any spirituous liquors to students,
workmen, servants, apprentices, and private soldiers.
2
Whoever is observed drunk in the streets, or making a
50 20
noise in a tavern, is sure to be taken to prison, and de- 50 10
tained till sober, without, however, being on that ac- 100 20
count exempted from the fines. One half of these fines 100 36
go to the informers (who ars generally police officers), 20 10
the other half to the poor. If the delinquent has no 50 22
money, he is kept in prison until some one pays for him, 25 all
or until he has worked out his enlargement.
ATTEMPT TO MURDER AT WALHAMPTON.—Two men 105
have been committed on the charge of attempting to
105
murder the aged gardener of the Rev. Sir George Bur-
rard, at Walhampton, in the parish of Boldre, and who,
it is surprising to state, is in a fair way of recovery, after
receiving the most brutal treatment. Mr. Pilbeam,
superintendent of county police, obtained such evidence
as led to the commitment of two notorious characters,
belonging to the same neighbourhood; named William
Smith and George Perkins.
