OVER-TIME.

We have no desire to encourage working over-time:
employers, as a matter of course, never resort to it un-
less forced, inasmuch as they unquestionably get less
work for their money than in the ordinary course. But
that any society, "amalgamated" or otherwise, should
endeavour to establish as a law that masters shall not
allow operatives to work over-time,—that full-grown
responsible men shall not be permitted to work over-time,
—seems to be scarcely credible. It is perfectly well
known that the men regard permission to wont over-
time as a privilege, and we are compelled to regard the
demand simply as a war-cry and a pretext on toe part
of those who act for the operatives. With what class
et men la this prevention to stop? And why, if a
" resolution" can settle the matter, should not eight
hours, six hours, four hours daily, be long enough for
wor? Would that it might be sot And may tney not
employ any of their over-time in any other calling with
a view to improving their means? Certainly not;
because in that case the members of the calling so
invaded could, on the same grounds as those set forth by
the " Amalgamated Society of Machinists," at once in-
terfere and prevent them. Those, of any class, who are
not workers in over-time, have little chance of effecting
for them33l7es an advance. Let them advise their fellow-
workmen
to case working over-time and to spend the
evenings
in improving their minds: let them warn them
against accepting goad employment at piece-work
(which tends to
sot the industrious and skilful above
the idle and unskilful) if they will; but to say that men
shall not do one or accept the otherin this the 19th
century—this the era of free-trade—seems absurd and
ileomprehenaible.—Builder.

THE BANBURY MURDER.
This atrocious crime has caused an intense excitement
here, fur, iu addition to the peculiar circumstances of the
act itself, the deceased was highly respected in the town
and neighbourhood. During the whole of Sunday the
scone of the catastrophe was visited by continuous

crowds of the curious.
On Monday, at twelve o'clock, an inquest was held at
the Crown public-house, Wilscct, by John Churchill,
Esq., of Deddington, coroner for North Oxfordshire. A
inquiry
touching respectable jury having been sworn to make
touching the death of Giovanni Kalabergo, they pro-
ceeded to an out-house, where the body of the deceased
had teen conveyed, and where a post mortem examina-
tion of the head had' been rn Ade by Mr. Thomas Harris,
surgeon, of Wardington. Two shots had taken effect,
one entering the frontal bone, and the other at the back
of the head, which last caused instantaaeous death.
The following witnesses were thou called:—
Jane Sawell, who had known the deceased for 40
years, was coming from Banbury on Saturday about
half-past five in the evening, in the van of John Ward.
She got out to walk up Wilscot-hill, and, about half-way
up, Stb7/ botnething lying on the road which she thought
to be a coat; but, taking hold of it, found it to be a
dead man. The fingers were then cold, but the body
was warm. By the light of a lantern she recognised the
deceased to be Giovanni Kalabergo. Previous to this she
raet a cart which she knew to belong to the deceased.
It was empty and unattended. A baker's cart was a short
distance in advance of this vehicle. Het no one on the
road. There was a pool of blood near the body. She
saw no weapon.
James Ward, the carrier, corroborated the evidence
of the first witness, and a person, named Ryrie, went to
Wilseot for a cart, which being provided the body was
removed to the village. Another hat, besides that be-
longing to the deceased, having been found, witness
went in search of another man along the road, but
nothing was seen. Did not meet anybody walking on
the road before the baker's cart before mentioned, nor
after that until the body was found. The ground was
hard sad there was a little snow, but it was too dark to
notice footmarks.

Mr. Thomas Harris, surgeon, of Wardington, was
next examined. He had made a post mortal' ex-
amination. Ho found a bullet had passed into the
brain through the posterior inferior angle of the
right parietal bone, and passing through the
brain, was lodged under the Jura mater, about the
centre of the left parietal bone. There was like-
wise a contused lacerated wound on the forehead. The
ball entered near the right ear, and was lodged an inch
above the left ear. There was no doubt the weapon
was fired close to the deceased's head, as the cravat was
...burned. The external laceration behind the ear was an
inch square, quite black with gunpowder. This wound
was the cause of death. The lacerated wound on the
forehead might have been caused by a shot from a pistol;
the ball might have glanced along the scalp; a bullet
was found is the roll of his coat. The inquest was then
adjourned until Friday.
The young man charged with the offence is about 24
years of age, and has been in England only two months,
during which time he has assisted his uncle in businsss.
He cannot speak English with fluency. At present no
evidence has been adduced affecting him, nor was he pre-
sent at the inquest.

THE SUN,

BANBURY, TUESDAY EVENING.—The person charged
with the commission of this crime, Giovanni Guillaume
Kalaberge, was brought up for examination to-day be-
fore Colonel North, Revs. W. Lloyd and C. F. Wyatt,
and H. Norris and Aubrey Cartwright, Esqra., county
magistrates.
The prisoner had been confined since Sunday at a
public-house in Wroxton, having two constables con-
stantly with him. However, about five o'clock yester-
day he managed to jump from a casement window, a
distance of 25 feet from the ground. In the fall be broke
the small bone of his right leg, still he contrived to run
a quarter of a mile before he was captured by the land-
lord, who had gone in pursuit. ie was then taken back
to his old qaarters, where he was heavily ironed by Mr.
Walker, of Banbury Gaol, who had been sent for. At
the examination to-day the prisoner's leg was in splints,
and his left arm (the wrist of which was sprained) in a
sling,
Evidence was called to prove that the deceased was
last seen alive in the company of the prisoner.
A magistrate remarked that as the evidence now to be
brought forward would, doubtless, seriously affect the
prisoner, it was his opinion no further steps should be
taken until a proper interpreter was present.
Mr: Francillon, solicitor for the executors of the de-
ceased, acquiesced in the course proposed.

_
MOLASSES.—Prices are not lower for West India; there

gallon. Demerara is rather cheaper, limited trans-
actions having taken place at 2s to 2s 3d for 32 to 40
over proof. In East India a good deal has been done in
consequence of rather lower terms having been acceded to.
Operations are 500 hhds at is 3d to is 3id proof. Prices
have fallen Id per gallon for Leeward Island; a fair
business, however, has been concluded at is 4d to is 5d
proof. There is firmness on the part of holders
of Brandy, and previous terms aro sustained.

rule at 4s 2d to 4s 4d, 1850 ditto 4s 6sl to 43 Bd, 1849

sale's rates ; there is, however, a fair consumption
here and on the continent. Prices are in consequence
sustained; at present purchases are trifling; Guatemala,
Flores 43 9d to ss, Sobres 33 10d to 4s 6d, Cortes is 4d

and a desire is evinced to sell fine uew yellow Candle for
next two months at 36s Gd per cwt. Home melted can
still be obtained at 36s Gd to 375, net cash, although a
good demand exists; but supply does not diminish.
Other sorts are rather cheaper; 232 pkgs South Ameri-

841 5s to 85/ 10s. Ileadmatter is 921 to 951 per tun.
PnovisioNs.—The demand for Irish Butter has in-
creased, and in some cases stiffer rates have been ob-
tained; arrivals were only 5,480 firkins for the past week,
yet stock is 27,000 over the preceding year; consetnp-
tion is on the increase. Prices for Cork now rule at ses

were rCeived during the past week. English sells
freely at from 704 to 945, and f:csh 8s to 12s per dozen
lbs. The supply of Bacon is less plentiful, and there
being a larger demand prices have improved, Irish small
Meat realising 41s to 455, heavy 40s to 489, and Hams
39s to 425; several sales of Waterford sizeable have
been made for next month at 40s to 465; imports were
2,000 bales for the past week, all Irish; the stock is much
the same as last season. Middies aro operated in with more
freedom; Irish realise from 39s to 42.!. In the market for
Barrelled Provisions there is more activity, and less de-
sire is evinced to sell. Sales of prime new Irish India
Beef have been mode et 10.53 per tierce; Mess from
75s to 523; India Pork 1103 to 1129 63, and Mess 62s
